female catcher

Chapter 103

After Wang Huai finished his speculation, he asked excitedly, "Boss, boss! How is it? Is my guess reasonable?"

Xia Chu smiled and looked at the other people, "What do you think?"

Wu Sanjin nodded, "It sounds quite reasonable."

Xu Lu still waved his hand, "No, no."

"Hey! I said you kid deliberately quarreled with me, didn't you! Why is it wrong again!" Wang Huai said angrily after being poured cold water by him.

"Let's say that Cao Xuelian went to a private meeting, so where will she go after the private meeting? Either she will go back to her natal home, because she told her family to go back to her natal home, or she will go back to Baicao Village, but no matter where she goes, from Yan Yan Fufang will never pass Guangji Hall when she comes out. What is she going to do in Guangji Hall?"

"Yeah." Wu Sanjin nodded again, "Yes, I think Brother Xu is right."

Wang Huai patted Wu Sanjin, and said angrily: "It makes sense! Everything makes sense, are you sure?"

After Xia Chu finished his meal, he wiped his mouth and rubbed his belly, "Xu Lu is right. Why Cao Xuelian went to Guangji Hall is still the biggest question. What is certain now is that she went before going to Guangji Hall." Yanfufang, the time interval between these two points is not far, so they should be connected in time."

Wang Huai nodded in disappointment, and glanced at Xu Lu unwillingly.Xia Chu smiled at him, "Wang Huai, what you said is not bad, but it didn't solve the core problem. Master Jiang said a long time ago that the reason why she went to Guangji Hall is probably the reason why she was killed. If you find the reason, you can touch it." The murderer. Now, no one knows the reason, or some people know but refuse to say it, so we will have to work hard for everyone."

"Investigate Yanfufang?" Xu Lu asked.

"Yes." Xia Chu spread her hands helplessly, "I have no choice but to use my strength to ask family after family. Cao Xuelian is wearing a rust-red ruyi skirt and a beige top."

"What does it look like?" Wang Huai asked.

Xia Chu was stunned, she really didn't know what it looked like, not to mention that she didn't go to see the corpse of the giant view, even if she did, she didn't know.Thinking of the view of giants, Xia Chu felt a little uncomfortable in his stomach, frowned and sighed.

"Boss..." Zheng Lian, who had been silent by the side, said, "I remember Yang Yuzuo said that there was a veiled hat in the silver cellar. It should belong to Cao Xuelian, right? If she was wearing a veiled hat, ask Looks are useless."

As soon as Xia Chu snapped his fingers, he pointed at Zheng Lian approvingly, "Yes! I almost forgot if you didn't tell me. That's it, rust red ruyi pattern skirt, beige top, about five feet tall, wearing a veiled hat. Brothers , ask family by family!"

Xia Chu asked Xu Lu to take a group of policemen to Yanfufang, and she herself went to Taiguang Building, Theater and Wufeng Building to verify Yu Shirong's testimony.

Originally, she wanted to ask Jiang Xiyuan if she wanted to go with her, and also told him about the progress of the case, but when she was about to reach Jiang Xiyuan's study, Xia Chu turned her head and left again.

He is busy, and the Judicial Counselor is only a part-time job of his. It is not good for him to spend too much time and energy on the problems he can solve.So think about it or forget it.

Not far from the West Market, Taiguang Building is the largest theater in Xijing City. It is said that the owner behind him has a lot of background. He can hire any theater troupe from Jingguo, and he can also hire the best actors in Jingguo.As long as it is the day when the show starts, there are always crowds.

The East Market in Xijing is mainly composed of shops with high-grade and high-consumption large merchants, while the West Market is mainly composed of shops of exotic goods and tea houses and restaurants. A large part of this is due to the surrounding consumption of Taiguang Building. driven up.

For example, the tea houses and restaurants in Xishi all have the second floor, and the windows are all equipped with wide open windows, because those famous actors who are famous in the capital or famous all over the country will pass by the road of Xishi, and there are many fans. Xi Chi would not hesitate to spend a lot of money to buy such a position, just waiting to see the carriages of famous actors pass by under his nose.

When I went there at the beginning of Xia, the alley where the Taiguang Building was located was full of people, and heads poked out from the windows of the opposite restaurant, but there was no sound in the whole alley, which looked a little scary.

Xia Chu looked around for a while, and cupped his hands to a middle-aged man next to him: "Brother, what are you doing?"

"Keep down." The elder brother waved his hand hastily, "This is an opera, don't make noise, and be careful not to be scolded when you turn around."

"Listen to the opera?" Xia Chu wondered, "What are you doing standing outside if you don't go into the theater to listen to the opera?"

"Isn't it impossible to get in!" The eldest brother slapped his thigh, as if he had lost several hundred taels of silver, "I guess there is not even a place to bend over for Yue Xiaohong's scene. Those who can’t squeeze in can only stand outside and listen to the sound of Xipi’s flowing water.”

"Who is Yue Xiaohong?"

Hearing this, the elder brother cast a contemptuous look at Xia Chu, waved his sleeves, and lost even interest in talking to her: "Okay, what are you doing, go ahead, don't bother me with this."

Xia Chu scratched his head, glanced at the people in the alley, and thought that the enthusiasm of the ancient people for chasing stars is not inferior to that of the modern people!
She cautiously walked around the crowd to the entrance of Taiguang Building, and was stopped by someone just as she stepped up the steps, "Here, there is no room inside. If you want to listen to the show, please go early."

"Oh, I don't listen to operas, I just want to ask you, what kind of operas do you play in Taiguang Tower on the first day of April?"

The man looked at her strangely, and said with a half smile: "This is really strange, there are still people asking about the previous play."

"I find it strange that so many people stand outside just to listen to the sound of gongs and drums." Xia Chu smiled, "Come on, please tell me about the drama on the first day of April."

"On the first day of April, there is a martial arts show "Nine Dragons Cup" in the morning, and "Red Maned Horse" in the afternoon. Is it finished? Do you have any old dramas to ask? Let alone, this month I can tell you everything, anyway, I’m just idle when I’m idle.”

"It's really a red-maned horse..." Xia Chu said to himself.The gatekeeper heard it, and couldn't help but fold his arms and laugh: "He Zhe, this is an exam, I'm here? Is there any reward for the answer?"

Xia Chu waved his hand, thanked him, and then squeezed out of the alley, thinking that the gatekeeper was really poor.

At the alley of Taiguang Building is Wufeng Building. Xia Chu went in and asked around, but no one remembered Yu Shirong.This is not surprising, the restaurant welcomes so many people every day, who will remember the diners six or seven days ago if nothing happened?

Xia Chu's feet were not yet sharp, and after walking for a long time they started to hurt a little.Seeing that it was getting late at this time, she simply didn't go back to the government office, and walked home slowly.

On the way home from West Market, Xia Chu found a small noodle stall and ordered a bowl of noodles and side dishes for dinner.After eating and paying the bill, as soon as she got up and went out of the cloth shed of the noodle stall, she saw a person walking past her.

Xia Chu didn't pay attention to it at first, but after thinking about it, he felt familiar. When he turned his head and looked at the back, he felt a bit like Dr. Liu from Guangji Hall, with a bag like a wandering doctor on his back. stopped in front of the door.

The door was open, Dr. Liu stopped and looked left and right, then a young man walked out of the door, and after a few words of laughter with Dr. Liu, he invited him in.

Xia Chu pondered for a while, then walked slowly to have a look, and saw a stone plaque on the door, engraved with three words: Zhiyilou.

All the people coming and going inside and outside the door were men, and there was also the sound of laughter and Yan Yan.

What the hell……

If Xia Chu had friends by his side, they would definitely be stunned together.After a little guessing, this place is probably the legendary Nanfeng Pavilion, right?
Xiachu turned around to the small noodle stall and asked the stall owner for confirmation.The stall owner looked at Xia Chu's nodding frequently, but smiling meaningfully, which made Xia Chu startled, and hurried away.

In fact, she wasn't surprised by Nanfeng Pavilion, but rather surprised that Doctor Liu would come to Nanfeng Pavilion, which really didn't match the impression that Dr. Liu had left on her.It's just that Xia Chu saw that he was wearing a bag, maybe he came to see a doctor in the Nanfeng Pavilion?But judging from the time and the expression of the man who welcomed him in just now, it doesn't quite look like it.

She hesitated for a while, but still didn't dare to go in, so she had to write down the matter and send someone to investigate it another day.

When I arrived at the door of the house, I took out the key to open the door, when I saw a egg blue brocade bag with a big smile hanging on the lock, and two delicate and full silk tassels swaying with the breeze.

Xia Chu untied it curiously and squeezed it. It felt like a small porcelain jar with a piece of paper.Her heart skipped a beat, a feeling of uncontrollable anticipation welled up in her heart, and she didn't dare to open it immediately to see what happened, for fear that she might make a sentimental mistake, and would rather the answer be revealed later.

At the beginning of Xia, he opened the door and went into the courtyard, fastened the latch again, went into the kitchen to boil water, washed his hands and wiped his face, and went to light the lamp.The brocade bag was always placed on the small stone table in the yard, and she would take a look at it every time she passed by, but she held back her energy and didn't touch it.

It wasn't until there was nothing else to do that Xia Chu sat down beside the stone table and carefully untied the bag.Inside the bag is a small moon-white glazed jar, twisted into a rope with azure eight-strand silk thread, cross-knotted to tighten the lid, and there is a knob of waxy white beads at the knot, which is elegant and delicate.

At the beginning of Xia, he took out the paper from the bag and unfolded it. When he saw it, all his expectations were fulfilled.In just one line of clear and meaningful small characters, the inscription is still a "yellow".

'The ointment in the jar has miraculous effects on bruises and sprains, I wish you a speedy recovery. '

A line of words, Xia Chu read it several times, and then refolded it properly, untied the silk rope from the porcelain jar, opened the jar and smelled it.

The smell of the ointment is a bit cool, with a faint fragrance.Xia Chu sniffed it again, got up and went into the room and took out the jar of ointment that Jiang Xiyuan gave him, compared the two, and found that the smell was the same.

"My lord, you liar, didn't you say you were gifted by the emperor?" Xia Chu murmured in a low voice, tilted his head and thought for a while, wondering if Mr. Huang's family is an imperial merchant?It's no wonder he's rich.
