As the sun sets, smoke from the cooking stove in Yoicang City is curling, as if it is covered with a red cloak, which looks peaceful and peaceful in the eyes of the boy.

After saying goodbye to Ke'er, Jing Hua was ready to go. Micang City is not too far from Huoyun Valley, about 17 or 18 days away. The population inside and outside the city is over 100,000, and there are mostly endless rice fields around it.

There are no spirit stone veins around the city, nor are there any herbs and fruits. Only three spirit-gathering disciples are stationed in the city, and they are in charge of daily affairs.

The owners of the "Hou Family Old Store" and "Lin Family Shop" who were robbed were all monks of the "Huo Lei Gate". Jing Hua first investigated the surrounding area for two days and inspected three original sites one by one.

Times were long apart, and there were no traces left in the west and east of the city. There were still some debris left in the south of the city, such as broken wooden boards and wheels, and no clues were provided.

The boy was wearing a gray cotton robe and a straw hat, like a young man who was out. He walked to the field and asked the farmers in the valley for water.

The old farmer was so kind that he put down the firewood in his hand, took out the kettle from the firewood stack, and poured a bowl of white water. Jing Hua finished drinking the warm water in one go, and reached out to wipe his mouth.

"Old man, there are some broken wood next to the forest. Why do you have to work hard to pick up the firewood? I'll pick up the wood."

The old man waved his hands repeatedly and said, "Where can you really pick it up at will, how can you get it? The immortal master there said hello, saying that it was a trace left by the thief, and everyone is not allowed to touch it."

Jing Hua's heart moved and continued to ask, "There were some broken wood in the east of the city a few days ago. Didn't everyone go and pick it up?"

The old man said with a confused look on his face: "I don't know this. Maybe the immortal master didn't say it. If he really said that, they wouldn't dare to move even if they interrupted their hands."

Jing Hua thanked the old farmer and turned around and walked towards the city. The three places were planned, with only one trace focusing on protection, and there was something interesting inside.

The boy went into the city and found a clean shop, closed the door and sorted out the clues he had found recently.

The first robbery was more than two months ago. The second robbery was born in fifteen days, and the branch immediately reported it to the sect. The third robbery was only two days apart, and Qian Da then entered Micang City. He stayed in the city for more than twenty days, and returned to the sect saying that Zhu Xiu left and there was no way to investigate.

According to previous judgment, it was a bit strange to be robbed for the third time. Spirit stones were not the business of Yonecang City. The monks in the city were only responsible for taking them to the sect. The news was quite secret. Where did the Zhuxiu find out?

With the previous two lessons, the monks in the city did not be vigilant, but were robbed again four miles away from the city, and there was no trace of the matter afterwards, which seemed to be impossible to explain. What was Qian Da's basis for judging Zhu Xiu to leave?

According to the records of the file and various details, the first two robberies have not been decided, and the third time seems to be suspected of being a custodian. By analogy, after Qian Da left, the fourth robbery was even more strange. The city monks have already obtained benefits and should try to keep a low profile. How could they report to the sect immediately and beg the disciples of the sect to come and investigate thoroughly?

Thinking of this, Jing Hua called the guy off and raised his hand to hand him a piece of silver.

The guy came in to deliver tea and accidentally made Xiaocai and couldn't help but smile. He took it and the silver was about half a pound, and his body suddenly became half short. The guy nodded and asked, "Thank you, my teacher, what are you asking?"

"Waiter, I'm going to do some business in the city. Is there a good entrance to the city and a fair price?"

The man responded quickly: "Customer, if you want to talk about the past, you can do business. The news has been too tight recently, and life is really hard. At the beginning of last month, the immortal master in the city suddenly became angry and killed several servants with a stick. One of them was in power on weekdays. I heard that he had some distant relatives with the immortal master, but he would die if he said he died. Now the city is in strict control, and it is difficult to do business."

"oh"

This is new news. According to the time calculation at the beginning of last month, it happened to be the fourth robbery. So this time is probably true, so that the Huo and Lin families did not hesitate to offend Qian Da and killed distant relatives. They also reported to the sect to separate their relationship. These are not recorded in the file and are newly grasped clues.

Jing Hua reached into his arms and rewarded another half tael of silver.

"Thanks to remind you, thanks to reminder. According to you, when is it easy to do business in the city? Which business makes more profitable?"

The guy holds silver in his hand, his heart is full of joy, and he mutters something in his mouth.

"Thank you, thank you, thank you, the blessing of the gods, the lucky stars shine? Oh, it's really a coincidence.

If there are no such a mess, Young Master, as long as you join the Immortal Master, you will only make money and not lose anything you do in the city. Haha, as long as you don’t offend Master Xianshi, you will be the uncle in Yoicang City..."

Jing Hua's heart moved: "According to what you said, has anyone in the city offended the immortal master?"

The guy's smile froze and immediately turned into bitter melon.

"Look at my broken mouth? I'll bring you water..."

Jing Hua waved his hand and said, "Waiter, this is what you are wrong. Since you have said it, let me explain it clearly. If I act in the city in the future, I can be more careful, right?"

The guy looked out the door and closed the door and whispered: "Customer, it's not that I won't say it. It's been a long time since the matter has passed. The immortal masters are unwilling to hear the comments from the servants. If I say it today, you can just listen to a joke."

"It was probably decades ago. The two immortal masters Huo and Lin had just arrived. In addition to them, there was also a rich man in the city, surnamed Zhao. It is said that the ancestors of the Zhao family also had immortal masters, and more than half of the business in Yoicang City belonged to his family."

"I don't know why later? The Zhao family's master died, and his children disappeared. The family and servants left and scattered. The Zhao family's business was no longer managed, so they gradually returned to Huo and Lin. Later, all the money-making transactions in the city... Anyway, there is definitely no harm in establishing a good relationship with the immortal master in advance."

Jing Hua nodded and praised him for his kindness. This is new news. Based on his experience in Takayama Castle, the friend's words are very credible and can be used as a reference.

As soon as the guy finished speaking, he immediately felt regretful.

"Customer, don't say that I said this just now, otherwise..."

"Don't worry, I'll leave in a few days. I won't talk to anyone."

The waiter left the room happily, and Jing Hua stretched out his left hand and gently tapped on the table.

The guy didn't say much, but he opened up the young man's thinking. If he was really a traitor, he should have escaped early and go to other prefectures to have fun. Now, he has committed crimes again and again, not like just seeking money, but has a strong sense of provocation.

If we follow the idea of ​​seeking revenge by blood relatives, we should directly kill the Huo and Lin families, and there is no need to make trouble again and again. Moreover, no casualties occurred several times, and it did not look like there was a grudge at all.

Jing Hua felt his head swollen, and he got up and went to the inner room to lie down with his clothes.

I am not a famous detective Conan, and I cannot unravel the clues from the clues and find out the truth. According to the guy, there was a family surnamed Zhao decades ago, and then disappeared for no reason. If I really can't find the idea, let's start with this point.
