Hua Yitang is right. Liu Yue Lou’s cut fish is indeed outstanding. The freshest fish is cut into thin slices. The slices are as thin as cicada wings and crystal clear. They are dipped in special dipping sauce and taste sweet and cool. Lin Sui'an was very satisfied with the meal. It's just that the dining environment is not very good. There is a ding in the upstairs, as if it is being renovated. According to the waiter, the attic is leaking, and a craftsman has been hired to fix it. Many distinguished guests thought the top floor room was noisy and changed their reservation dates.
Hua Yitang obviously didn't care and was quite enjoying it. He was humming a little tune along with the tinkling on the roof. He glanced at Lin Sui'an from time to time, and the corners of his mouth never dropped.
Lin Sui'an pretended not to see it and stuffed his head with food.
"What did you find under the bridge?" Hua Yitang asked.
Lin Sui'an shook his head: "It's useless."
Hua Yitang clicked his tongue: "Sure enough."
"We need to find new witnesses," Lin Sui'an said halfway before denying himself, "Even if there are any, I'm afraid they were captured by bad people."
"That's not necessarily the case," Hua Yitang said, "Boy, please come and talk to the shopkeeper."
Someone immediately left the door.
Hua Yitang waved his fan and said with a mysterious face, "I heard that the last meal Yan He had last night was Qieguo from Liuyuelou."
Lin Sui'an: "..."
Suddenly I felt nauseous.
The shopkeeper of Liuyuelou is a fat man in his fifties with a belly as soft as a meatball. When Hua Yitang asked about Yan He's itinerary to Liuyuelou last night, he was so frightened that he started to belly dance.
"Back, back, back, back to Shiro, last night at the right time, Erlang of the Yan family did come and ordered the cut off, but, but he left without taking a bite. His death has absolutely nothing to do with my cut off!"
Hua Yitang: "You left without eating a bite, why?"
The shopkeeper wiped his sweat and said, "As soon as the dishes were served, Mr. Bai's husband came. He closed the door and didn't know what he said to Yan Erlang. The two of them left in a hurry."
Lin Sui'an: "Is Mr. Bai Shun Bai Shun?"
"Exactly."
"What direction did they go to?" Hua Yitang asked.
"I got on the Yan family's carriage, crossed Kaiming Bridge, and went to Xicheng."
Lin Sui'an: "You remember clearly."
"Erlang of the Yan family is a regular customer. I greet him personally every time. Moreover, the man of the Bai family didn't drive at that time, but rode the Yan family's carriage with him. I found it strange, so I took a few more glances."
Hua Yitang: "Bai Shun didn't take the carriage?"
Shopkeeper: "No."
"This is strange," Hua Yitang said, beating his fan. "The Bai family lives in Meifang, which is more than half of Yangdu City from Liuyue Tower. Bai Shun is in poor health and rarely walks. He mostly uses a carriage to travel." After a pause, Hua Yitang asked again, "Was there anything unusual when Bai Shun came?"
The shopkeeper thought for a while, "He seems to be very anxious, sweating profusely, and his face is much uglier than usual."
Lin Sui'an: "What did he say to Yan He?"
The shopkeeper looked embarrassed, "This - I really don't know."
Hua Yitang nodded and gave the shopkeeper a golden leaf. The shopkeeper left happily.
Lin Sui'an looked at Hua Yitang in shock.
"You also think there is something fishy about Bai Shun, right?" Hua Yitang said, "If we go by what the shopkeeper said, Bai Shun might be the last person to see Yan He."
Lin Sui'an continued to stare at Hua Yitang in shock.
Hua Yitang felt something was wrong. He quickly looked at his clothes and found some dust on the cuffs, which must have been from falling down. He suddenly realized, "Time is tight, I don't have time to change clothes, I'm rude..." …”
Who cares what you look like?
Lin Sui'an roared in his heart, "What makes me collapse is that you actually handed out a gold leaf as a tip!"
As expected, he is the number one dandy in Yangdu, what a waste!
Hua Yitang looked at Lin Sui'an's face becoming more and more ugly, and the disgust in his eyes reached an unprecedented height. He checked the clothes again and found two stains on the hem of the clothes. He became more and more on pins and needles, and hurriedly changed the subject and said, "Why don't we go and strictly Let me ask Yan He’s coachman?”
Could this guy have forgotten that Yan's father identified him as the murderer of Yan He last night and wanted to eat his flesh and drink his blood? Today he dared to go to Dian Bian'er to inquire about the case. Is it because he thought his life was too long?
Lin Sui'an was exhausted and sighed.
After all, this guy is still her partner for now, so out of humanitarian spirit, let’s remind him.
"Let's go to Bai's house." Lin Sui'an thought for a while and added, "As the saying goes, wealth should not be revealed, so you should keep a low profile when you go out in the future."
Hua Yitang was startled for a moment, then suddenly broke into a bright smile, "Lin Sui'an, you are so kind!"
Lin Sui'an was walking on Tongqu West Street, looking at Hua Yitang's strutting back in front of him. The sunlight fell on his fluttering clothes, like delicate petals under the bright spring light.
She found it a bit funny. Was she just given a "good guy card"?
To be honest, she originally wanted to add another sentence, such as "You have so much spare money, why not give it to me for poverty alleviation", but Hua Yitang's smiling face was so beautiful at the time that she didn't say it.
"Across the bridge is Meifang, where the Bai family is located," Hua Yitang pointed to the stone bridge ahead, "Are you tired? If so, let's go to the teahouse to rest first."
Lin Sui'an is naturally not tired. The physical strength of this body is extraordinary. Except for last night's abnormality, she has never felt tired. Hua Yitang, on the other hand, looks very thin, having walked most of Yangdu City. It's really amazing that he can still keep walking like the wind.
"You have good physical strength." Lin Sui'an said.
Hua Yitang suddenly became proud and shook his little fan to great effect, "As the number one dude in Yangdu, physical fitness is fundamental. As the saying goes: stand like a pine, walk like the wind, sit like a bell, lie down like a bow, and run." Boom boom boom!”
Good guy, he doesn't sound like a playboy, but more like a personal trainer at the gym.
"For a dandy to be like you, you are really——" Lin Sui'an found a word, "unique."
"That's right!" Hua Yitang stepped onto the bridge, raising his chin to the sky. "Being maverick is what I, the Hua family, have trained me to do."
I don’t know if his artificial style is too unique. Passers-by on the bridge have given way, some pointing, some whispering, and a few scattered words can be heard faintly, all of which are "Bai Family" and "Bai Family". "Mr. Bai Jialangjun" and so on.
Hua Yitang's expression changed, "No, something happened to the Bai family!"
Before he finished speaking, he lifted up his lapels and tucked them around his waist. He made smoke under his feet and ran off the bridge with a "boom, boom, boom" and rushed into Yannifang.
Is this guy a rabbit? !
Lin Sui'an's forehead muscles were beating wildly. He hurriedly and slowly caught up with Hua Yitang. After entering the square gate, he was greeted by a large mansion. Although it was not as bold and exaggerated as Hua's, it was still extraordinary. Two stone lions guarded the door, with a plaque of "Bai Family" hanging on the lintel. The door was open, and the servants were walking hurriedly inside and outside the door. They all looked nervous. When they saw Hua Yitang and Lin Sui'an carelessly appearing at the door, a sudden silence fell. .
Hua Yitang clasped his fists, "Is Bai Shun here?"
The servant closest to him howled, sat down on the ground, and then ran into the house screaming, shouting as he ran, "Master! Master! Hanashiro is here!"
The other servants dispersed with a bang, surrounding Hua Yitang in the center from a distance, as if they were afraid that he would run away.
Lin Sui'an keenly felt that Hua Yitang visibly stiffened. He covered his face with a fan and looked at her eagerly. Although he didn't say a word, Lin Sui'an immediately understood what he wanted to ask.
Lin Sui'an: "Your clothes, boots, hairpin, and fan are all very good. There is nothing rude about you."
Before Hua Yitang could relax, he saw a group of people rushing out of the door. The leader was a couple with gray hair. When Hua Yitang saw Hua Yitang, he knelt down and cried hoarsely:
"Shiro Huajia, please save Bai Shun!"
Hua Yitang: "Huh?!"
Lin Sui'an: Oh!
The hall of the Bai family is only one-fifth the size of the Hua family. This difference in area seems to represent the status of the Bai family and the Hua family.
Hua Yitang was put on the shelf and invited to the main seat, and Lin Sui'an was also put on the second seat. The two of them had heads as big as buckets and listened to the crying words of the head of the Bai family, Bai Shun's father, for a long time before they finally sat down. Know the ins and outs.
Bai Shun disappeared. The Bai family sent all their servants and servants out to search for him for a day and a night. They searched all over Yangdu City but could not find him.
Lin Sui'an: "Have you reported to the official?"
"I didn't report it to the official at first, thinking that he was with Erlang of the Yan family. Later I heard that something happened to Erlang of the Yan family, and he was -" Father Bai gave Hua Yitang a careful look and wiped his tears again, "I went there overnight. The government office, but Governor Zhou is busy investigating the case of Erlang of the Yan family and says he can’t spare any manpower..."
Bai's mother covered her face and cried loudly, "The sons of the Yan family are sons. Aren't the children of my Bai family not human beings?! Mrs. Feng thinks that my old man is gone and there is no one in the court, so she is too lazy to take care of her. !”
Father Bai: "Madam, be careful what you say!"
Bai Mu: "How long has it been? I don't know whether my son is alive or dead, so why should I say anything? If you have the ability to yell at the Feng family or scold the Yan family, then you know how to show off your authority at home. It's nothing." ability!"
One sentence made Bai's father blush.
Lin Sui'an glanced at Hua Yitang.
Hua Yitang came over to provide some background information, "Bai Shun's grandfather is Bai Fan, and his grandfather is Bai Qing. He has been a school clerk all his life, and has been family friends with the Yan family. He passed away due to illness five years ago, and the Bai family has withered away. , it was passed down from generation to generation that Bai Fan was doing nothing and failed in several scientific examinations. All the hopes of the Bai family fell on Bai Shun, but it is a pity that Bai Shun..."
Hua Yitang paused, and Lin Sui'an understood immediately.
Looking back on the situation in Furong Tower the day before yesterday, it seems that Bai Shun's IQ is indeed not very high.
Hua Yitang: "I heard that the Bai family planned to use Feng's connections to become an official, so Bai Shun followed the advice of Feng Yuyi and Yan Heyan."
Lin Sui'an: I understand, Bai Shun is the handyman.
"I have always heard that Silang of the Hua family is a generous and righteous man. Today, when I see him, he is truly worthy of his reputation. The Feng family and the Yan family have abandoned my Bai family, but it is Silang who comes to help in the most critical moment. The Bai family is really grateful and grateful! "Bai Fan whimpered again and wiped away tears.
Bai Mu cried out an aria: "The Hua family has connections all over Yangducheng. You must help us find Bai Shun!"
Lin Sui'an scratched his forehead in embarrassment, and Hua Yitang waved his fan in embarrassment.
He was originally here to investigate the case, but he ended up being regarded as a savior. How can this be done?
"Hmm," Hua Yitang cleared his throat, "When was the last time you saw Bai Shun?"
"Yesterday, Shen Zheng, my son came back and changed his clothes," Bai Mu said, "The servant said that he was at Furong Tower with - cough, and then he hurried out."
Hua Yitang: "Did you take a carriage when you went out?"
Bai Mu thought for a while: "He drove the car himself and didn't let the driver follow him."
Lin Sui'an frowned: Bai Shun had a car when he left home, but he didn't take a carriage when he went to Liuyue Tower. Why? Where did his carriage go?
Hua Yitang: "Is there anything strange when Bai Shun left home?"
Bai Mu: "He didn't look good. I asked him, but he didn't reply. That kid is usually the most polite, and he has never been so rude."
Lin Sui'an: "You didn't say a word?"
Bai Mu: "...didn't say a word."
Hua Yitang frowned, closed his fan, and tapped his forehead lightly.
Bai Fan: "Please help Silang of the Hua family to find my son. From now on, our Bai family will definitely follow the Hua family's lead and draw a clear line between the Feng family and the Yan family!"
Hua Yitang did not agree, nor did he refuse completely. He just said "I know" with an inscrutable expression, and walked out of Bai's house with his eyebrows furrowed in pain. Lin Sui'an saw the waiting person outside the door. Mu Xia, and Hua's flamboyant carriage.
Along the way, Hua Yitang looked like a chicken with his neck strangled. He didn't say a word, his eyes were empty, and his head swayed left and right with the car. Just when Lin Sui'an thought he had evolved into a tumbler, he sighed quietly. : "Bai Shun may be in bad luck..."
Lin Sui'an crossed his arms and looked at him.
Hua Yitang: "Have you thought of it a long time ago?"
Can you imagine it? Judging from the clues obtained so far, Bai Shun was the last person to see Yan He, and his behavior and behavior were weird. He is obviously the biggest suspect. But this biggest suspect is now missing. So according to the suspense routine, Bai Shun is very likely He may have traveled westward on a "crane".
Of course, Lin Sui'an did not express these psychological activities, but asked a question: "What are the government doing?"
Could it be that the government couldn't find the clues that both of them were able to find?
Hua Yitang frowned, leaned against the car and entered a state of emptiness with his eyes again. The frame of his head banged like a car-mounted bobblehead, and he shook it all the way back to the flower house.
That night, Lin Sui'an finally had a quiet dinner in the guest room. After having enough water and food, he moved the bedside table to the window, spread out the Shijingji, and leaned against the table to bask in the moonlight.
At the top of the moon, the night wind was getting colder, and a black shadow fell outside the window, like a huge bat.
Lin Sui'an waved happily, "Hey, the big bamboo pole is here!"
Dazhugan was still dressed as a night traveler. This time he did not say hello to Lin Sui'an. He went straight into the house through the window and sat down opposite Lin Sui'an. He glared at Lin Sui'an fiercely and said, "You failed to tame Qian Jing!"
Lin Sui'an narrowed his eyes.
How did he know that she lost control in the government office?
Could it be——
Lin Sui'an: "It turns out that the vendors I met outside Chongyanfang today are all your people."
Dazhugan: "You haven't understood the Ten Pure Collections at all!"
"You've been stalking me."
"You've been lying to me!"
"Qianjing is not only a weapon but also a token."
"Do you understand the Shijingji Collection?!"
Lin Sui'an: "Thousands of mountains and rivers are always filled with love."
"Nianhua and a smile will purify the world -" Dazhugan blurted out. Suddenly he understood what he had said. He became furious and punched Lin Sui'an in the face. "You lied to me again! I'll chop you up!"
Lin Sui'an grabbed the big bamboo pole's wrist with a snap, easily pressed it back to the table and said with a smile, "We are already friends for the rest of our lives. Don't shout about killing, it will hurt our feelings."
Several green veins popped out from the forehead of the big bamboo pole, which sounded like a bang. The arms were exerted crazily, and the bones were cracking. But they couldn't match Lin Sui'an's strange strength. He wished that two knives would fly out of his eyes and hit Lin Sui'an's forehead. Carve the word "go".
"To tell you the truth," Lin Sui'an said sternly, "My grandpa only taught me the skills of Shi Jing Ji, and he passed away without even explaining the origins of Qian Jing and Shi Jing Ji."
Dazhugan was startled.
Lin Sui'an let go of Dazhugan's wrist and patted his shoulder solemnly, "So, now you are my only relative in this world.":,,
