This Zhang Benwu is actually wearing makeup.
His face was both powdered and red.
It's just that the technique is clever and the makeup is very natural, so it's hard to spot. When most people see him, they don't think he's wearing makeup, they just think he has a normal skin color.
That is to say, Qin Shaoyou has the talent of [eyebrightness] and can detect clues from the smallest details, so he can tell that there is makeup on Zhang Benwu's face.
No, not just on the face.
Qin Shaoyou's eyes moved down and fell on Zhang Benwu's hand.
His hands were also painted with pink and red.
Although some fashionable people like to apply powder and makeup, and even like to wear women's clothes, and boast that they are elegant.
But this Zhang Bengo is only six or seven years old, and he’s not yet ready to show off his elegance, right?
And the light makeup he put on seemed more like he was covering up something.
Although Qin Shaoyou made a discovery, he was not in a hurry to point it out.
He didn't want to alert the enemy, after all, there was no conclusive evidence yet.
However, this discovery also made Qin Shaoyou conclude that Zhang Benwu was weird.
I just don’t know if this weirdness is related to Zhang Benwu’s disappearance overnight...
Qin Shaoyou remained calm and continued to look at Zhang Benwu secretly to see if he could find out more. At the same time, he said with a smile: "Young Master, we are the police from Luocheng. We have a few questions to ask you."
"Excuse me, sir."
Zhang Benwu's voice was indeed hoarse.
It's so hoarse that it doesn't have the crispness and sharpness of a child.
It's a pity that the [Bright Eyesight] talent cannot judge the sound. Qin Shaoyou can't tell whether Zhang Benwu is really hoarse or if he is pretending to be hoarse.
Zhu Xiucai's eyes moved slightly, wondering if he had discovered something.
Qin Shaoyou continued to laugh like a strange man: "We are just a group of policemen, we cannot be called gentlemen. Young Master, how did you get kidnapped last night? Can you tell us the details?"
Zhang Benwu was very cooperative and explained the process of being abducted and escaping. The content was similar to what the concierge had explained before, but more specific.
Qin Shaoyou and Zhu Xiucai also repeatedly asked questions on several key points, and Zhang Benwu also answered them without any problems.
Seeing that the questions were almost done and the people had seen the same, Qin Shaoyou did not continue and said goodbye: "We have finished asking. Thank you young master and Mr. Zhang for your cooperation. I am really sorry for interrupting you for so long."
Zhang Shilang hummed and called the servants to see off the guests. He picked up his beloved grandson and asked about his recovery.
When Qin Shaoyou walked out of the hall, he looked back at Zhang Shilang.
He didn't know whether he saw it wrongly or what happened, but he felt that Zhang Shilang's energy had weakened a lot at this moment.
It's like being 'eaten' by a big bite...
After he turned his head again, Zhang Shilang also glanced at his back.
When he came out of the hall, Zhu Xiucai came close to Qin Shaoyou, without saying anything, and looked at him.
Qin Shaoyou understood and knew that Zhu Xiucai should have made some discoveries.
He nodded slightly and did not ask any questions. He planned to wait until he left Zhang's residence before communicating with Zhu Xiucai.
After walking for a while, Qin Shaoyou began to get close to the servant who led the way.
After a few words, he pretended to be casual and asked: "How is Mr. Zhang's health always?"
"It's very good. My master studies Confucian classics and cultivates a righteous spirit. Although he doesn't have the youthful appearance of a child, he still has a sword that never grows old."
The servant first flattered me a few times, and then said, "I just feel a bit cold today and have a cough due to deficiency of energy."
"Then you have to see the doctor. You can't ignore it."
"I've found it and prescribed medicine."
"That's good, that's good."
Qin Shaoyou nodded repeatedly, seemingly worried about Zhang Shilang's condition, but actually he was thinking in his heart:
Zhang Shilang's cough due to qi deficiency is probably not caused by external wind and cold, right?
Zhang Benwu came back today, and Zhang Shilang was also weak today. Isn't it a coincidence?
He thought again of the scene where Zhang Shilang's energy was 'eaten' just now, and he couldn't help but guess, could it be Zhang Benwu's 'eat'?
Turning around a courtyard, Qin Shaoyou saw two servants of the Zhang family walking towards him holding a dog.
Because of the weird wild dogs in Mianyuan County, Qin Shaoyou is now very sensitive to dogs.
As he passed by, he took a closer look and found that the dog's eyes contained hope and excitement, but also despair and fear.
So I became more curious.
He stopped two servants of the Zhang family and asked, "Why did you hug a dog? Where did this dog come from?"
Although the servants of Zhang's house did not recognize him, seeing him walking out of the house and being led by someone, they guessed that he should be the master's guest.
The two of them did not dare to be negligent and saluted and replied:
"We bought this dog outside our door. The doctor came to see the young owner before and said that he was too frightened and needed to use the dog's heart as a medicine to calm his nerves.
We grabbed some medicine at his pharmacy, and on the way back we happened to meet a butcher with a few dogs for sale, so we bought one from him..."
Qin Shaoyou asked: "Do you know the doctor and the butcher?"
The servants of the Zhang family replied: "We know the doctor, he is Dr. Xu from the Security Hall. I don't know the butcher. It seems that I have seen him before, but I am not familiar with him. I don't know his name."
"Where did you meet the butcher? I think this dog is quite fat, and I plan to buy a few from him."
"It's just on the way out and turn left. It's not far away. If you go now, you should be able to catch up with him."
"Okay." Qin Shaoyou nodded and glanced at Zhu Xiucai beside him.
Zhu Xiucai immediately understood what he meant, and immediately ordered a few strong men and whispered a few words, telling them to divide into two teams. One team went to the security hall to investigate Mr. Xu, and the other team went after the butcher who sold the dog.
Qin Shaoyou took the dog from the hands of Zhang's servants and pretended to weigh it to check whether it was fat or thin.
Zhu Xiucai said cooperatively: "We have sent the Heavenly King's Heart-Building Pill to the young master of your house. It is a spiritual pill refined by the great monk of Luohan Temple. It is a top-quality pill that calms the nerves and calms the panic.
Don't let the young master eat anything like a dog's heart.
Dog meat is dry in nature, and the dog's heart is even dryer.
After all, the young master is young and frightened. He is weak in body and energy. How can he use something that causes dryness and heat as a medicine?
Aren’t you afraid of eating problems? This doctor Xu seems to have limited medical skills. "
Qin Shaoyou sang along with him: "That's right, it's better not to let the young master eat the dog's heart, otherwise it will aggravate the condition and you won't be able to get away with it. I think this dog is quite fat, so let's give it to us. Let's go to bed tonight." Have a good meal.”
"this……"
The servants of the Zhang family were hesitant, wondering whether they should listen to Qin Shaoyou's words.
Seeing this, Qin Shaoyou took out a piece of broken silver from his pocket and threw it to the two Zhang family servants.
"Dogs don't come from you for free. I will use this money to buy your dog."
The two servants of the Zhang family took the broken silver, weighed it, and immediately beamed with joy.
This is more than double what they spent to buy the dog, and it's worth it even if they go back and get scolded.
Besides, if the dog is gone, you can still buy it again, or find a way to catch it.
Anyway, there shouldn’t be too many wild dogs in and outside the city these days.
But if you miss the money, you won't be able to earn it again.
The two of them thanked him immediately, took the broken silver and left happily.
The servant who led the way didn't ask any questions. He was just envious that the two companions had made a small profit by changing hands.
As soon as he walked out of Zhang Mansion's gate with his dog in his arms, Qin Shaoyou saw that one of the warriors who had been sent to the desert temple in the east of the city to inquire about the situation turned back.
"Any results from the deserted temple in the east of the city?"
After saying goodbye to the servants of Zhang Mansion, Qin Shaoyou went up to ask.
"yes."
The strong man nodded and replied: "The policemen and night watchmen from Mianyuan County have captured the desert temple in the east of the city. Not only did they catch the thief, they also found the scroll that Zhang Shilang's grandson mentioned.
At this moment, they are in the deserted temple in the east of the city, conducting a surprise interrogation of the thief, trying to find out how to release the child in the painting.
When the people in the city and outside the city heard about this, they rushed over one after another and surrounded the deserted temple in the east of the city. "
"You really caught the thief and found the scroll?"
This result was somewhat beyond Qin Shaoyou's expectation.
He thought for a while and said: "Lead the way, let's go to the desert temple in the east of the city to see it."
On the way, Qin Shaoyou asked Zhu Xiucai: "Did you discover something just now?"
Zhu Xiucai nodded and lowered his voice: "The young master Zhang's hoarse voice is just an act."
Is it really pretending?
Qin Shaoyou was a little curious: "How did you hear it?"
"It's all done through practice." Zhu Xiucai puffed up his chest and said proudly: "Don't say she's pinching her throat to pretend to be hoarse. Even when Sister Yao screams, I can tell whether she's really comfortable or just pretending."
But Monk Ma revealed his background: "He used to go to rooms and unlock doors. If he hadn't sharpened his ears, he would have been caught and his legs would have been broken."
"That's all in the past." Zhu Xiucai laughed twice, and then asked: "Sir, have you discovered anything?"
Qin Shaoyou nodded and told his findings.
"Putting on makeup and pretending to be mute..."
Zhu Xiucai touched the stubble on his chin and made a bold guess.
"Could this Benwu be fake?"
Qin Shaoyou said: "I have the same suspicion, but there is no conclusive evidence, so it is difficult to arrest people."
Zhu Xiucai thought for a while and suggested: "How about I go into Zhang's house at night and stare at him to see if he shows any new tricks?"
Qin Shaoyou thought about it and thought he could try it.
Soon they arrived near the deserted temple in the east of the city.
Before seeing the deserted temple, the first thing that caught my eye was a sea of people.
Not only were the inner and outer three floors full of people, but there were also many people climbing on the surrounding roofs and treetops.
Although there are parents and relatives of the missing children here, most of them are just people watching the fun.
Qin Shaoyou and the others relied on their physical strength to push through the crowd and arrived in front of the deserted temple, leaving a sound of curses behind them.
In the deserted temple, the policemen and night watchmen from Mianyuan County were interrogating several thieves who had been kidnapped by Wuhua Da.
At the same time, a huge picture scroll was unrolled and stood in the courtyard of the deserted temple.
The scroll is densely packed with people.
All children.
Children with different expressions and looks.
It's so lifelike that it makes people's hair stand on end!
Unlike others, Qin Shaoyou, who has the talent of "bright eyesight", also saw some other horrifying and scalp-numbing things on this scroll.
