In the evening, Li Nanke received an invitation from Shi Yan.
It can also be regarded as the last farewell.
The old man, who had stumbled forward in the darkness for half his life, was not persuaded to stay in the end and decided to leave. Before leaving, he only invited Li Nanke.
The atmosphere in the tavern was very deserted, with only a few lonely guests.
In the box, Li Nanke and Shi Yan sat opposite each other.
There were some side dishes and wine bottles on the table, and the faint aroma of wine floated in the air.
In addition to the candlelight on the table, there is also a dark red lantern hanging at the door. The dim candlelight seems to separate this place into a secret corner, far away from the bustling world.
"It's been a long time since I sat down and drank with others in peace."
Shi Yan had a leisurely smile on his face with several wrinkles.
Li Nanke smiled and said: "If you want to drink, I will drink with you. If it doesn't work, let's go to Xunfang Pavilion and find some girls."
"For me, who is half dead, the girl is just a decoration."
Shi Yan looked self-deprecating, "Besides, how dare you, a man with a wife, go to the place of love and beauty to look for a woman? Besides, I heard that you are afraid of your wife."
"Rumors are just rumors."
Li Nanke waved his hand.
He picked up the wine glass and said, "A man born between heaven and earth, how can he be afraid of his wife?"
"You have a guilty conscience."
Shi Yan smiled and pointed at the other party.
The two of them clinked glasses and took a sip. The atmosphere did not become warm and was still deserted.
"I closed the window, it was a bit cold."
Li Nanke stood up and said.
Outside the window is a peaceful lake, with several boats floating on the lake, depicting a bit of prosperity.
However, all this prosperity did not infect the atmosphere of the pub. On the contrary, it made the place even more lonely and quiet.
Li Nanke stared blankly for a moment before closing the window.
"Originally there was something I didn't want to say, but it's okay to keep it in my heart."
Shi Yan poured a full glass for Li Nanke and said softly, "Don't you want to know what happened to the seven-year-old prefect's daughter Yuan Zhenzhen three years ago?"
Li Nanke didn't respond. After closing the window, he opened the door, looked outside twice, and closed it again.
He sat on the chair, looked directly at Shi Yan and said:
"Ji Tianhao built a house for you, but the house was burned down by a fire. Yuan Zhenzhen died there, right?"
Hearing Li Nanke's words, Shi Yan's face was full of surprise.
He sincerely praised: "It's okay if you don't accept it. Sure enough, Lao Niu is right. You are more capable than anyone else."
"Did you kill Yuan Zhenzhen?"
Li Nanke asked straightforwardly.
Shi Yan shook his head and said slowly: "Three years ago, on April 21st, Chu Tiange of the Qinglong Department lost his goods while transporting Hongyu.
The next day Niu Daru met with me secretly and asked whether the batch of Hongyu had been taken by the Xuanyuan Hui.
The place where we met secretly was that house.
The irony is that sometimes when you think you are perfectly safe, something unexpected happens. That day, the prefect's daughter Yuan Zhenzhen was playing outside, holding a bundle of balloons in her hand.
One of the balloons accidentally flew to the tree in the inner courtyard, and the little girl looked for it. result……"
"I saw you and Mr. Ushi in the end, right?"
Li Nanke gave the answer.
Shi Yan nodded with difficulty, "That girl knew General Niu, and we didn't know what to do at the time. So Lao Niu kidnapped the girl first.
According to Lao Niu's plan, he planned to put Yuan Zhenzhen back after the transaction between the Underworld and Jifu was completed in a few days. But never expected that Yuan Zhenzhen disappeared. "
"Missing?"
Li Nanke frowned and asked, "You mean, the person disappeared?"
Shi Yan nodded and said: "Lao Niu and I just locked her in a room with the windows sealed and the door locked. But when I went in with the food, I found that the girl was missing.
I told Lao Niu about this, and Lao Niu thought it was my negligence that allowed the little girl to run away.
We searched everywhere but could not find Yuan Zhenzhen.
However, the next day, news came from the prefect that the prefect's daughter Yuan Zhenzhen had been kidnapped by two of his servants.
Hearing this news, Lao Niu and I were very confused.
It wasn't until a few days later that sixteen female members of the Night Patrol Division were sacrificed. I saw Yuan Zhenzhen's body in the room where the little girl was previously detained. It was already decomposing.
I was afraid that I would get into trouble, so I placed the body outside in an abandoned yard so that the night patrol department could find it easily.
After that, the matter fell into place. "
Listening to Shi Yan's story, Li Nanke felt chills all over.
This is simply a supernatural event.
A living person disappeared into the room, and when he reappeared, he had become a corpse.
In the process, he suffered other kidnappings.
This is more fantasy than fantasy.
"No matter what, the death of that little girl and the deaths of the sixteen female members of the Night Patrol are more or less related to me and Lao Niu.
Lao Niu has always blamed himself for this incident, thinking that if Yuan Zhenzhen had not been imprisoned at the beginning, what happened later would not have happened. "
Shi Yan's eyes were darkly disappointed.
He could have not said anything about this matter, after all, it would make Lao Niu guilty and attract criticism.
But after all, I can't let go of the pressure in my heart.
Li Nanke closed his eyes and tried to sort it out, but it was so messy that he couldn't think clearly.
Looking at Shi Yan's lonely expression, he picked up the wine glass and said:
"You don't need to blame yourself. It seems that the Yuan sisters are not as simple as they appear on the surface. Maybe there is another conspiracy involved. I will investigate it clearly."
Shi Yan said "hmm" and the bitter wine entered his throat.
…………
After saying goodbye to Shi Yan, Li Nanke drank a lot of wine and was a little drunk.
His drinking capacity is actually pretty good, but maybe it's because he's been too stressed out and tired these days, so he indulged himself this time and made himself a little drunk.
Li Nanke rejected Shi Yan's offer to send him home and walked alone on the road.
The cool night breeze did not wake him up, but made his head dizzy.
Halfway through the walk, Li Nanke felt that his body was swaying a lot, and he found a step to sit on and take a rest.
He dug into his pocket, preparing to take out Hongyu to wake himself up.
"Li Nanke?"
Suddenly, a pleasant and pleasant voice came out.
Li Nanke squinted his hazy eyes and looked around. The moonlight reflected the street, illuminating the figure of a beautiful woman.
The woman is plump, dressed in a smart Tsing Yi, and her graceful curves are enchanting.
"Master's wife?"
Li Nanke shook his head and finally saw the other person's face clearly.
It turns out to be his wife’s mistress Gu Ying.
"Are you alone? Why are you so drunk?" Gu Ying looked at her apprentice's husband alone on the street at night, and couldn't help but frowning, a little unhappy.
Li Nanke's cheeks were red, and he waved his hands and smiled in a drunken tone: "Master's wife, come with me to have a drink. I... I have something to ask you."
"I'll take you home first."
The woman had no choice but to step forward and help the man up.
But the man was a little too heavy, and the drunken man was unsteady on his feet. Before he could take two steps, the other man stumbled forward, which scared Gu Ying and hugged him tightly.
But soon, she realized something was wrong.
After all, men and women are not intimate, and the other person is still her apprentice's husband.
While she was feeling entangled in her heart, the man was waving his hands and yelling that he wanted to drink. When he was waving his arms, his fingers accidentally hooked her skirt.
With a "chila" sound, the woman's clothes opened a little, revealing her collarbone and part of her bellyband.
