The northwest of the county is located in a row of shops, the city's raucous place, this area is a little quieter, in addition to the only Jishi pharmacy shop and two fabric stores in the west of the city, the most attractive is the next street opposite the wine bar and tea house!

A plate of melon seeds, a few small bowls around the boiling kettle; two small dishes, a few large cups around the wine bar for a week, preferring a quiet tea house and lively and noisy wine bar in the store's heart management, all become -- "quistle hall".

One of the teahouses in the back of the "Greek House" is a family's house, many houses when there is a family and other people's courtyards seem particularly exquisite, far away from a look can see a "Song" word.

Shen Chao pointed to the courtyard wall of the Song family and said: "At that time, the perpetrator entered the room, there were walls on all sides, the entrance was this door, but the door door was not moved, and the Song family did not realize it at that time, and did not rule out that the perpetrator made light work** into it."

"It turns out that you are the officials, please inside, please inside", the person who is talking is about liminal, such as the body, the body is slightly blessed, and the housekeeper looks.Needless to say, he naturally knew the dust.

The courtyard is a common courtyard, the outer wall of the surrounding houses is surrounded by a closed courtyard, the main room is located north to south, in front of a courtyard, the courtyard has grass and wood, the east and west of the two cabins, the east compartment from north to south through a hanging flower gate is the study.

The library is the scene of the crime.

The traces of the house were obvious, silver and silver, gold and silver and jade, according to the old king of the Song family vigil, the entrance point of the study was where he met the murderer, but also that he should have heard the sound outside the door before he could shout and was seriously injured.

Zhong Yi carefully observed the layout of the house: spacious, a log desk, table pen and ink paper, an opposite cabinet on the south side, there are many books, there are some tea equipment, two pictures on both sides of the wall, the left and right symmetry.

The painting is intact, the left side of the landscape, the right side of the characters, the lettering calligraphy, although it is simple to dress up, but the painted landscape is vivid, the portrait is exquisite, casual viewing, but also pleasing to the eye.

Readers attach the most importance to the decoration of the study, so it is not surprising that important things are placed in the study.

The perpetrator only knew gold and silver and did not know the words and paintings, which is said to be the fault of the mountain bandits.

Imagine that if the cave bandits are hung with a few words, under the foil of the torch and the gun stick, these scenes are fixed as the picture itself is a masterpiece, and can be counted.

"Adults, my master asked you to go to the house to have a cup of hot tea, by the way, with some snacks", the steward's tone is smooth, but there is no sense of humbleness, reading people are not the same.

The two rows of mahogany seats in the main hall are neatly arranged, a small wooden table is placed between the two chairs, and some small flower bonsai are placed on the side of the table, and the teacup can be placed between the rooms, the wall is also a picture, and the left and right walls are two, very symmetrical.

Everyone comes to the table, the tea is slowly worshipped, there is a beautiful snack, and the knowledge of this is the sweet pastry in the north of the city, which is also a small reputation in the city, and it seems that the Song family also pays attention to food.

A moment later, an old man came out of the side door, this person was Song Boren, the owner of the Song family, although he was nearly fifty years old, but he walked briskly, did not panic, and then spoke after falling down: "The head of the arrest is hard, and you are tired."

Shen has no ink, but he admires the reader, from his attitude to the cumin can know one or two, so see this he also up: "Where the old uncle said, these are all our things, why bother to say?"It is imperative to solve the case as soon as possible and arrest the murderer.”

What do you mean by the comer?Everyone knows that the head of Shen Yu introduced Zhongyi to the people, and this time the Song family also wanted him to understand the scene.

"Song old uncle, both the head of Shen has been introduced, then we open the door to the mountain", Zhong Yi looked around, and then the eyes fell on the wall of the painting: "Look at the Song family is also a book incense door, to treat people to pick up things is polite, Mo is also in the gap with life on weekdays?"“What is it that should not be offended?”. .

Song Boren sighed: "Mr. Zhong said to make the old and ashamed, the book Xiangmen did not dare to be, this house is passed down from the ancestors, in addition to his wife, the family only a little girl, she likes chess piano books and paintings, weekdays the door is not two doors."The Song family has some silver deposits, has a shop in the city, and has rented to others, and it is enough to pay some rent every year, how can I offend others?". .

It turns out that a large house, including less than ten people, including the lower ones, the Song family is not extravable, the cost is naturally not large, why is it being stared at?

Zhong Yi once again remembered what Shen said: The reasonable explanation is that the thief just met this house, which is really exquisite from the outside, but did not expect that the Song family was not the rich man's house full of gold and silver.

Everyone expressed their opinions, but there was no new progress, and Zhong Yi knew that more clues should be broken through other ways.

Zhong Yi felt that the time was almost over, he got up and said; "Song Laobo, you are a reader, you should know that this life is not satisfactory in all things, money is a thing outside, when the good life to appease the injured, the gate will try to solve the case as soon as possible."

The Roche brothers who have not had words heard that it was very sad to say goodbye: presumably this Miss Song family has a complete talent, but usually almost do not leave the house, usually difficult to have a chance, today must see the face is not worth the trip.

He did not know the key to it, but he knew that to deal with these two people, it would have to be done by the dust.

After leaving the Song family compound, Zhong Yi felt that at this moment, someone should be sent to the city's gold and silver jewelry and jade stores to explore the situation, this idea was the first to be put forward by the Roche brothers, only to be a hard lesson, it seems that today can not see Miss Song, so they immediately took the order to go.

Zhongyi and Shen Lu came to the street, and the two had no intention of traveling the streets, and by the way, it was a good choice to listen to everyone's views on the Song family.Only the familiar face of Shen dust accompanied, others do not dare to say a superfluous words, the two had to agree to walk, and then in the north of the city to meet.

What is strange is that the reaction of the neighbors to the Song family is bland, perhaps like Xiao Wangzhuang: because of the snow in front of each family, or the Song family in the weekdays to deepen the brief, not the county to throw the people, naturally talk a lot less.

At this time, it was noon, Zhong Yi casually found a small restaurant to sit down, his current thinking is in the bull-headed mountain vendetta, as for the Song family theft case only rely on them.

At this time, the two officers came in, and the mid-suggering Zhongyi was told by the people: Fan Zhi County has a request.

When I returned to the county hall, I saw that Shen Chao had already been waiting there: Needless to say that Fan was designated as the Song family thing, Zhong Yi did not study the case in detail, but said: "Mr. Fan, from the scene, the possibility of the mountain bandit's crime is very great, which I agree with the view of Shen Yutou."Why not send troops to search a few cottages?Wouldn’t it be a great pleasure for them to hide their gold and silver jade in the mountains, and when they came to gain something?”. .

He turned around and said, “What do you say about the head of Shen?”. .

"In the next feeling that Mr. Zhong said it is feasible, if people get their own best, if they do not find the stolen goods, they can also detract from their sharpness", after experiencing the Zou family's murder, Shen Jun was convinced of Zhongyi.

Fan listened to the face but appeared embarrassed: "There are three famous cottages, a large number, and scattered everywhere, too far from the county, so it is not easy to mobilize people and horses."

Fan's concern is not unreasonable: "If the cottage and the people in the county really have a relationship, I am afraid that someone will report it early, and it will be wrong, how should this thing be?"

As the head of a county, Fan gave his own consideration: it was premature to test other officials through the Song family theft case.

Needless to say, Shen Jun did not contradict the bandits, as a county's arrest leader, he hated these people in public and private, but he seems to need a reason at this moment, at least now the county's reasons for sending troops are not enough.

The three of them had to leave each other.

After dinner, idle, and then go to the Shen to the head of the fishing room to drink a little sulking, a few people are not as high as yesterday, before drinking, the atmosphere is not "saved", an altar has not finished, everyone went back to sleep.

***********

In a world like reality, there are no mountains and rivers, no flowers and trees, no street houses, even the living creatures that run: cattle, horses, and sheep.

This mysterious world can clearly feel its existence: because the world still has a face, even if only this face is left, you can clearly feel its real existence.

In the middle of the night, in a truce, Zhong Yi seemed to see this face, can not distinguish the appearance, but only feel familiar, as if you have seen it where you have seen it.

The village, old lady?Little sister?Uncle Tian?

No.

The mountain, Master?Brother?The sister?

It doesn't seem to be either.

Ducing efforts to identify, suddenly feel the chest seems to have a heavy object under the pressure, gasping has become extremely difficult.

Is it his parents?

Never met, what does it look like?

...

A trembling, touch this warm sweat, as if just bathing.

This is a dream...

In the eyes of Zhongyi, this heart disease is not day and night, year and month, but he has always been unable to get rid of the heart demon, firmly control everything about him.

Yes, you can't wait any longer, and you have to fight the enemy as soon as possible.

After a long time, a strange idea came up...

*********

The light outside the window, the moon is covered by thick dark clouds, the county at midnight seems to be unusually quiet, if not for the dream, I really regret waking up at this moment, it is really a torture.

The cold and clear streets are as quiet as the county, a little candlelight, a little bit of a star fire, even the people who hit more are both in and out, the city's Zou family's murder just ended not long ago, and now the Song family has been stolen, but this damn weather, there is no special "fat" gall, it is really impossible to town.

Huging the north wind sleepless, only a few yellow leaves left the branches slowly swinging, the street is lonely and silent, only the corner of the fallen leaves shivering, issued a slight "hissing" sound.

A black shadow rose up, like the courtyard from the ground of the home, steadily fell on the roof, along the beam in the autumn wind, only to see him over the wall, swept over the window, gently jumped on the opposite eaves, the action is agile, the body is light, there is no sound.

And all this for those who fought together, like a late wind, did not notice at all, and left no trace.

...

When the first rays of the morning sun shone on the earth, people naturally did not know what had happened last night.

“Wake up, brother.”

The still-sleeping voice heard the annoying cry again—always at this time.

“Hurry up, the city’s Zhao family has been stolen, so let’s take a look.”

East of the city, Zhao family.

An old man saw Shen dust and immediately said: "All the officials, our Zhao family has always been honest, never did anything harmful on weekdays, how to be stared at by thieves?". .

Shen dust snorted contemptuously, turned to Zhong Yi and whispered: "This Zhao San participates in the casino business, the city fireworks place is indispensable to him, but now he is pretending to be poor."I think it’s a retribution to let him bleed.”

Zhong Yi whispered: "This is not like your Shen big cap, we are investigating the case, Zhao family report that the case is stolen, the county must first manage this matter?". .

Zhao's case was not in the study, because it was a decoration for them, and the stolen thief was actually his bedroom.

"The silver lost two or two, there are some jade," said Zhong Yi, as he spoke, Zhong Yi saw that Zhao San's eyes were about to bleed, and it seemed that Shen Chao was right: it was time to bleed the person.

Shen Luo stood there and said, “Say, what is unusual about the house in these two days?”What’s new after the incident?”. .

Zhao San suddenly realized: "Yes, there are, there are, you see me this hurry to forget, an arrow, and" said he hurried to the house.

A moment later, he held a letter in his hand: “And this.”

Shen Luo took the letter a word, it was difficult to put out a few crooked words: "borrow some silver, if you dare to report to the officer, the end is so arrow."

Zhong Yi took the note carefully: this "letter" did not come from the hands of the reader, there are two writing errors, barely able to recognize the literal meaning.

"You see, the arrows have words, this is the arrow of Mount Niu," said Luo Ying, who was on the side.

Shen dust in the hand of an "arrow" a "letter", laughed loudly: "His grandmother's, really the mountain bandit did, with this thing, the mountain bandits will be trumped."
