Chapter 32 Li Tan
Chapter 32 Li Tan
Xu Zhiming paused: "What? Don't let me in?"
Yan Zi frowned and gave him a white look: "How can you argue with me so much? I'm too lazy to quarrel with you now, I mean this yard smells like scorpion."
"Jiazi?"
"You do not trust me?"
"Believe it! Of course I believe it!" Xu Zhiming hurriedly said, "Mr. Yan, don't get me wrong, I was just wondering why a wine brewer would be punished."
Yan Zi said nothing, opened the door and walked into the room.
The furnishings in the house are simple, with a bed in the corner, a table in the middle, and a chair on the side, and the stove is outside the house. The simple furnishings suggest that the owner's family does not seem to be rich.
Yan Zi was stunned for a moment, then walked out of the room and asked the police officer of Zui Wengzhuang who was called by Louy: "Please tell me, what is the origin of the youngest of the Li family?"
The catcher was a young man, he had no worries, and replied: "Li Laosan is from the Li family, a big family in the village, he is the son of the eldest son, and now his eldest brother is in charge." Saying that, the catcher hugged his saber , sighed.
"What?" Yan Zi twitched the corners of his mouth, suppressing his urge to hit the bastard who was half-spoken, "Please don't half-speak, my lord."
The arrester quickly coughed, and said: "The third eldest son of the Li family is named Li Tan. It seems that something happened when he reached the crown. The family broke up, and they came out to set up their own family. Hey, son, tell me, the Li family is so young. The big family doesn't take care of such a kid, look at the people who live here—"
Yan Zi felt the tendons on his forehead twitch, and was about to speak, but Xu Zhiming suddenly touched behind him and patted his shoulder: "Stop, we are not locals, we don't know the Li family well, and we don't know much about this deep house. I am not interested in the smell of copper in the film, so I will not comment. Please continue to talk about Li Tan."
Seeing his eyes, the policeman was stunned for a moment, looked at his face, and said, "Oh, good. After he came out, Li Tan started a wine business. His business is not bad. , the brewed wine is famous for many people eating it. Maybe he bought a house outside, and he doesn't live here often, so the house has been dilapidated like this. "
Xu Zhiming nodded: "Tell me again, what kind of person is he?"
"He is a loyal and honest person. Although he has never had close contacts with others, he shouldn't have any enemies. Therefore...the master and our brothers have no clue about this case."
After resigning from the policeman, Yan Zi invited Xu Zhiming to sit down in a restaurant in the town, and when the dishes were served and Xiaoer left, he picked out vegetables for Xu Zhiming and said in a low voice: "Let me tell you first." My opinion. Li Tan is said to be honest and honest, but it is only seen by people in this town. He is often outside, and no one can tell what kind of virtue he is."
Xu Zhiming took over the job: "People should not be judged by their appearance. I think the same as you. Besides, is it his family?"
"Yes," Yan Zi sat down beside him, picked up some vegetables, and muttered vaguely while chewing, "He fell out with his family, he must have done something out of the ordinary. But the police said he was 'loyal and honest', which further confirmed I just mentioned it."
Xu Zhiming: "Don't talk while eating."
"Oh," Yan Zi replied dryly, putting down his chopsticks, "The arrester said that his business is not bad, but he has not renovated this house. Although it is possible, he has other real estate outside, but I will go into the house first. The tables and chairs were all clean, the edges and corners were worn badly, and there was a lot of wood slag in the stove. I thought that maybe Li Tan came back often, but no one in the village knew about it. Besides, there was no Serious damage, it seems that Li Tan should have been repairing it."
"From this point of view, it is possible that he spends less time outside and more at home?"
"Yes."
"Then what did he do when he came back secretly? What's so shameful about going back to his own house? It can only be that he hid something shameful."
"... Only by hiding the shady things, can he spend so much energy on repairing the house. Eat quickly, let's go there quickly after eating!"
"Yan Zi," Xu Zhiming said helplessly, tilting his head, "You can't force a blind man to pick up rice. After all, I'm blind, and I can't even find a bowl."
"Then what chopsticks are you holding?"
"……smoothly."
Li Tan's house was built of earth, low and low, and not very beautiful.
Yan Zi was sitting on the wall under the thatched shed in the courtyard, holding a piece of dog's tail grass in his mouth, holding his cheek and looking at the raining sky, looking lifeless.Xu Zhiming was sitting beside him, with three ropes flying in his hands, weaving them into one strand.
Finally, after he stringed a small triangular yellow stone on the rope, he reached out and handed it to Yan Zi: "Do you want it?"
Yan Zi breathed a sigh of relief, looked at the rope in his hand, and said after a long while: "...Do you know that what you are holding is a red rope?"
Xu Zhiming choked.He asked Wu Hui to give it to him, and he didn't ask about the color. Who would have thought it was a red string.It is not common sense for a man to give another man a red string.
Just as he was about to withdraw his hand, Yan Zi reached out and patted his wrist, saying, "Put it on."
"But this is the red rope..."
"I lied to you, Lan."
Yan Zi looked at the string of red strings on his wrists, hooked his lips, patted the hem of his clothes and stood up: "It's almost there? You said that you can go in after dark, and you can see the stars now."
"Well, let's go in then."
"Why did you wait until night to go in?"
Xu Zhiming stood up with the hand he extended to him, and said: "You think, since he came back at night and didn't want others to know, he must not be able to light the lamp. His room is so empty, there is nothing to touch , I guessed, maybe he put something more conspicuous at night in the house."
"Well, that's true." Yan Zi nodded.
"...Yan Zi, why don't we go back first?" Xu Zhiming said worriedly.
Yan Zi rubbed her nose: "Huh? Why?"
"Your nasal voice is a bit heavy, is it because of the rain in the morning?"
"Nothing." Yan Zi shook his head, opened the door and entered the room.
Unexpectedly, this entry into the room frightened him a step back, bumping into Xu Zhiming's chest, almost knocking him down, but fortunately he reacted in time, turned around and hugged him.
"Hmm!" Xu Zhiming almost pushed back in one breath, and then said after a while, "Yan Zi, what's wrong?"
"totem."
"What totem?"
Yan Zi looked uneasily at the large and small blue totems on the wall in the room, and felt goosebumps all over his arms.
"The blue ones... are glowing... there are blue dragons, white tigers, and Suzaku Xuanwu... seem to have words..."
"It's blue, I guess it's the juice of the green firefly grass," Xu Zhiming patted the back of Yan Zi's hand, and said softly, "It will glow in the dark, it is indeed a good mark. What words do you write? On my palm?"
Yan Zi nodded, and immediately remembered that he was blind, rubbed his temples, and drew on the palm of his hand the totems that looked like characters on the wall.
"My heart...points...to the east...well," Xu Zhiming frowned, "Why did it stop?"
Yan Zi stroked his palm a few times: "It's nothing, I'll continue writing."
"Take the youngest son as the heart, cast elixir and make things happen. Youngest son? What do they want children for?"
"The so-called elixir is... wait a minute, Zhiming, what's there."
