Originally, the arrival of Li Yu and others did not attract many people's attention, but Cheng Deng's sound of kicking the door was a little loud, which inevitably attracted the attention of Liu Huan's neighbors. They all came over and were shocked when they saw the scene inside.

"Oh my God, what's wrong with Lao Liu and his family?"

"Quick! Hurry! Go and report to the official!"

"Stupid! What official is it? Isn't the one standing here now the official?"

Cheng Deng and his men were wearing constable costumes.

“…”

After taking a breath, Li Yu whispered loudly: "Everyone, calm down. I am the magistrate of the county government. I want to ask you some questions."

As soon as these words came out, everyone looked at Li Yu, and the scene became quiet in an instant.

After glanced at the neighbors of Liu Huan's family, Li Yu said in a deep voice: "Liu Huan's family was killed. Have you seen or heard something strange in the past two days?"

Neighbors on both sides looked at each other, looking at each other in all directions.

Seeing this, Li Yu had no choice but to say again: "The door of Liu Huan's family has not been opened for about two days, and no one has entered or exited. Have you, as the neighbors on both sides of the world, noticed nothing?"

There was silence again. After a long time, a middle-aged man stood up and said carefully: "Mr. Magistrate, three days ago, Old Liu... Liu Yan said that he wanted to go back to his hometown with his wife, as if he was the third uncle in his hometown. So, when he saw the door of Old Liu's family was closed in the past two days, we thought Old Liu and his wife had returned to their hometown, and Liu Huan rarely went home, so he didn't care much."

"yes."

"That's how it is."

“…”

The rest of them agreed.

Li Yu looked at the middle-aged man and asked, "Where is Liu Yan's hometown?"

The middle-aged man said, "Mr. magistrate, Liu Yan's hometown is Wanping County."

Wanping County is a county town under the capital, and it is not very far from Beijing County. If you walk, it will take about two days to go.

Li Yu nodded slightly and then asked, "Has anyone ever been to Liu Yan's family in these days?"

The middle-aged man said, "The magistrate, there should be no one. We have never seen anyone come to Liu Yan's house."

"Yes, there should be no."

"If so, we should have seen it."

“…”

The others agreed again.

Li Yu asked again: "Have Liu Yan and his family shown different things in recent days, right...especially that Liu Huan."

The middle-aged man thought for a while, then shook his head and said, "Mr. Magistrate, there is nothing different. Liu Yan and his wife go out to sell bean sprouts around Mao hour every day, and then come back at the end of You hour. Liu Huan basically messes around outside and rarely goes home. He basically goes home from time to time, mostly for the purpose of getting money."

Li Yu said: "Then do you know when Liu Huan came back this time?"

The middle-aged man shook his head.

Li Yu looked at the rest of the people.

Finally, a strong man stood up and said with a little hesitation: "Mr. Magistrate, Liu Huan should have returned when the sun set the day before yesterday."

Li Yu: "Should it be?"

The strong man explained: "Caomin did not see Liu Huan come back with his own eyes. Caomin's home lived next to him. At that time, he heard Liu Huan and his father quarrel."

While saying that, he also pointed to the direction where his home was.

"quarrel?"

Li Yu hurriedly asked, "What is the content of the quarrel?"

The strong man said, "It's probably because Lao Liu really couldn't stand Liu Huan anymore, scolded him when he could find a job and settle down, then marry and have children, and don't be idle all day long. However, Liu Huan was dissatisfied with Lao Liu's scolding. Yan he had his own plans, and even Yan he had already received a lot of money, so he didn't have to worry about it. Then, he urged his mother to prepare dinner, saying that he didn't eat much today and was about to starve to death..."

What a big sum of money.

Li Yu grabbed the point, and a trace of energy flashed through his eyes, as if he had thought of something.

Next, he didn't ask anything else from the neighbors on both sides, so Li Yu had to let them evacuate first, and said that if he found anything, he could come to the county government to find him, and the government would give him a certain reward.

After the neighbors on both sides were evacuated, Li Yu and Cheng Deng and others searched Liu Huan's home, but they did not find anything useful. Naturally, the so-called big money could not be found.

......

Five more days have passed, and since the clues were cut from Liu Huan, no new clues have been found.

After thinking hard about this situation, Li Yu could not find any good way to break the situation.

Do you really have to be like the previous magistrate until you retire...

Looking at the sun that was about to set, Li Yu's brows became tighter and tighter.

"What are you thinking about with such a frown?"

However, at this moment, a nice and familiar voice came into Li Yu's ears.

Li Yu turned his head and looked at the face that had not been seen for a while, and couldn't help but say in surprise: "Why are you here?"

Suddenly, Liu Mengli showed a slightly aggrieved look: "Don't the magistrate welcome the little girl?"

Li Yu quickly smiled and said, "Miss Mengli was joking, but she hadn't seen you for many days. I couldn't help but feel a little surprised and surprised when I saw you appear in front of me."

Liu Mengli said: "The little woman originally wanted to come to visit the magistrate earlier, but my aunt happened to encounter some things and could only drag it back. It was not until today that she had time, so she came to the county government office. She happened to see Captain Cheng at the entrance of the county government office, and Captain Cheng brought the little woman in."

Li Yu nodded slightly and said, "When I talked about this, I forgot to ask last time, where do you and your aunt live now?"

Liu Mengli said: "Yunshui Pavilion."

Yunshui Pavilion, the name sounds tall and noble, but from this name, it is impossible to accurately determine what it is for.

So Li Yu asked, "What is this Yunshui Pavilion?"

Liu Meng said: "Yunshui Pavilion can treat it as a higher-end restaurant. Usually, those so-called talents, officials and others prefer to eat there."

In this way, Li Yu roughly knew what this Yunshui Pavilion is for.

At this time, Liu Mengli said again: "By the way, I just saw you looking sad, did you encounter something difficult?"

Li Yu had no intention of hiding this, so he briefly said it.

In fact, there are more or less expectations in my heart. Maybe there is any good way for the Liu Da Fairy.

only……

"Why are you here?"

However, Li Hongxiu stood not far away with a bowl of iced sour plum juice, looking at the two of them, to be precise, Liu Mengli.

Li Hongxiu saw Li Yu’s troubles these days, and he wanted to help but was powerless.

Asking her to raise the sword to cut people, no problem, this is her strength, but she asked her to move her little head, sorry, there is really no inventory.

Just recently, she saw Li Yu standing on the railings in the corridor, looking at the sky, showing her thoughts again, and did not come forward to disturb him.

After thinking about it, I went to the kitchen to serve a bowl of iced sour plum juice.

Although it was in the corridor under the eaves and the sun was not so hot at this time, it was still hot after all.

only……

When she appeared here again with a bowl of sour plum juice, she saw Li Yu and Liu Mengli chatting happily. She couldn't help but curl her lips and then came to Li Yu.

"Here...for you."

As he said that, he handed the bowl of sour plum juice in his hand to Li Yu.

After being stunned for a moment, Li Yu took it, and then he drank it all, and the dryness of his throat disappeared without a trace.

Holding an empty bowl and looking at the two women in front of him, Li Yu thought for a while, and then asked: "What do you want to eat for dinner tonight? It's been a few days since I cooked, and I just happened to have time today."

“Clean noodle soup.”

"barbecue."

The two women had almost no hesitation and blurted out their words.

The soup noodles are so ripe that he can’t cook anymore, so he can do it in minutes.

As for this barbecue, it is still a bit cumbersome, and the ingredients need to be prepared in advance, and this hot day...

However, after a glance at Liu Mengli with expectation in her eyes, she still nodded.

......

With the moon and stars sparse, Li Yu and Liu Mengli were walking on the street, talking and laughing.

At this time, the streets were deserted.

I don’t know how long it took, Yunshui Pavilion appeared in front of me, and the words between the two had to stop abruptly.

He watched Liu Mengli walk into Yunshui Pavilion, and after waiting for a while, Li Yu turned around and returned on the same path.

But... he didn't know that Liu Mengli, who had already thought that he had almost returned to his room, was watching his every move where he didn't see until his back completely disappeared. Before, he withdrew his gaze and walked into Yunshui Pavilion.

As soon as I stepped into the small yard, a very familiar and dull voice came into my ears.
