After sleeping for two or three hours, Ning Shu opened her eyes again before dawn. The rain that had accumulated for the whole night still hadn't fallen. The air was stuffy like a steamer. Even breathing made people feel flustered. Since Huimo left last night, he hadn't returned for the whole night. Perhaps he was tied up by something. And they still couldn't find any new clues about the case.
Ironically, in just one night, the news that the villain who kidnapped the children and slandered the Empress had been executed had spread throughout the capital. Even without deliberately asking, people could see the white-haired old peddlers on the streets and alleys gathered in groups of three or five to talk about it.
"Have you heard? Have you heard? The serial case of the kidnapping of children has been solved! Guess who the murderer is? It's actually a teacher! "
"That's just too crazy! He even deceived the children. How can there be such a vicious person in the world? It's simply outrageous! "
"You don't know. That's not a simple teacher. Ten years ago, do you still remember the dog official surnamed Zhao in the Han Jiang Prefecture? He committed all kinds of evil. He embezzled a total of two hundred thousand taels of silver and hanged himself. This teacher surnamed Yuan is the confidant of that Dog Officer Zhao. Back then, he escaped death by slipping out of his shell and has been hiding in our capital all this time. His goal is to bring chaos to the world and avenge his master! "
"Oh! That teacher used to come to my shop to buy wine and help me write a few characters. I thought he was a good person! "
"That's why it's said that you may know a person for a long time without understanding his heart. The more harmless a person looks, the more likely he is not a good person. I have a little nephew who studied with this teacher. I heard that the teacher was taken away by the officials yesterday. My whole family was scared stiff. My little nephew cried all night and dreamed that the teacher was coming to take him away. "
"Don't worry. That guy was taken away by the officials. He knew that he couldn't escape death and hanged himself. He can't do evil anymore. It's a pity that he didn't want to reveal the whereabouts of the children he kidnapped. Alas, I'm afraid they were already killed by him … When I passed by the entrance of the government office, I saw that the officials posted a notice outside. It said that this afternoon, the three departments at the entrance of the Meridian Gate will jointly investigate the case and give an explanation to the people of the city. "
"How is that enough? This dog thief had committed such a heinous crime, causing unrest in the capital for the past few days. Hanging himself would be too easy for him! If you ask me, you should pull out his corpse and flog it! "
"You're right! Death by a thousand cuts! Cut him into eight pieces! "
"No, we should grind his bones and scatter his ashes so that he can never be reincarnated! Hahahaha … "
Ning Shu did not want to listen to the rest of the conversation. She pulled Zi Gui and hurriedly left the breakfast shop. Listening to those people's crazy and almost irrational remarks, Zigui lost his appetite. He couldn't swallow the half-eaten bun in his hand anymore and threw it at the feet of the red-eyed, spittle flying person. That person was jumping up and shouting happily. Suddenly, he stepped on the meat stuffing and fell flat on his face. Then, he cursed loudly.
Zi Gui ignored him. He rolled his eyes coldly and followed Ning Shu with his head held high and his chest puffed out.
Zi Gui pulled Ning Shu's sleeve and gestured worriedly, "Miss, there are only three sichen left until noon. How are we going to investigate this case?"
"Let's go to the medical center first." Ning Shu's expression was very calm. She let the gossip around her say that people's hearts were like ghosts. She remained unmoved, because it was not worth it at all. She said, "Tan Shaoqing is seriously injured, we haven't had time to visit him yet. We should at least express our sincerity. While we're at it, we can also take a look at those few little beggars from Zheng De Fang. Perhaps there will be an unexpected harvest. "
Zi Gui continued to gesture suspiciously, "What harvest?"
Ning Shu naturally did not have the leisure to keep him in suspense. Her eyes flashed, she lightly opened her thin lips, her voice was clear and crisp like pearls and jade, "Do you still remember before, one of the little boys called Jun 'er unintentionally said something? He said, 'Qinxin Jiejie's father was obviously a very good person, but he was framed for stealing money and had his head chopped off. This father, could it be that he was referring to Zhao, Ming, Zhen? Perhaps the answer will come soon. "
