Forty-third bowl of soup (5)

Bai Qiyi died, and although the restaurant brothel under his name was still operational for a while, the group of dragons had no head, and the days when it collapsed were not far away.

Regarding the girl who came to his room on the night of Bai Qi's death, the adults launched an investigation. It's a pity that I checked all the girls in the brothel and there was no conclusion. Everyone had an alibi. In the end, they had no choice but to conclude that they were women outside the brothel.

But the problem is even bigger. There are so many women in this world, how do you find a mysterious woman? The servants of the White House had also questioned one by one, but no one could tell who Bai Qi was waiting for that night.

The case of human trafficking came to a close temporarily with the death of Bai Qi.

I thought that after Bai Qi died, his property would disappear, but something surprising happened. Although the news of Bai Qi's death spread throughout the county, the brothel and the restaurant were not affected in any way. Even business is booming.

Bai Qi had no father, no mother, no wife and no children, and the dignified Bai Mansion master died without having any impact on these industries. It must be said that this is a very miraculous thing. Looking at it from another angle, one can draw a conclusion: whether there is white seven, these businesses will be followed. In other words, Bai Qi is just the person in charge on the face, and the actual master behind it is not him.

So who has been supporting Bai Qi for so many years, let him do such a big business? Who was it when the adult was about to find out the real culprit, destroying all the evidence, and even solving the witnesses? Until now, the adults have not found the girl who was willing to testify.

People are dead, they all know, but no one knows where the body is. At first, he thought it was Bai Qi's work, but he took people to the graveyard for some time, but in the end he returned empty-handed.

The power of the other party is amazing and they know them very well. On the contrary, they are confused about the master behind the scenes, let alone asking the other party. They don't even know who the other party is and what their name is.

With the death of Bai Qi, the case gradually quieted down, but no matter whether it was an adult or a scholar, no one gave up, because there were still cases of girls and children being abducted. It also proves that the real mastermind behind this incident has still not stopped his profiteering footsteps.

Early in the morning, adults were reviewing official documents, scholars were sitting aside reading, Cheng Pu punching in the yard. He took off his shirt and went into battle shirtless, his strong muscles drenched with sweat in the sun, gleaming with bronze. The scholar was afraid of heat, and hid in the room, he gave Cheng Pu a speechless look from time to time. He really didn't understand why this person liked this kind of sweaty thing. Like him, he felt slimy and uncomfortable to death.

At this time, Cheng Pu stopped practicing boxing suddenly, and the probe greeted with a smile: "Little nine early, eighteen girl early!"

Xiao Jiu tweeted: "Good skill."

Eighteen also smiled. She is not particularly afraid of the three of them now, but for other men, she still has to hide when they meet. Fortunately, Xiao Jiu stayed with her when she didn't need to undergo an autopsy, so Shiba rarely showed that kind of horror.

Cheng Pu patted his chest vigorously: "No, come and try, brother, this muscle is not blowing."

Xiao Jiu was eager to try. Seeing that the two beautiful chest muscles were itchy, but he had just jumped forward two steps. Before he had time to shoot, he heard the scholar yin and yang say: "This is blue sky and white day, so a girl's house, it's still a yellow flower. The eldest girl, jumped on a young man, and had to touch his chest muscles. The forest is really big and there are all kinds of birds." After speaking, she sighed and looked at the eighteen who was holding her new clothes. "There is a gentle and quiet girl like Shiba, and there are also girls like...Eh, what are you doing Shiba?"

Eighteen heard him say that Xiao Jiu even approached Cheng Pu, then blushed and knocked on Cheng Pu's chest, pursing his lips to look at the scholar. She is shy and rarely speaks, but this silent protest has already told everyone what she means.

Xiao Jiu was moved: "Eighteen you are so kind to me!"

"Can it be bad?" the scholar muttered. "Jing will sew new clothes for you, comb your hair and make them delicious. We are not so lucky to enjoy it."

Although they said that, the eyes that looked at Xiao Jiu were very gentle. Since the eighteenth came, the living standards of the four of them have risen sharply. Originally, I had to buy food and cook by myself every day, but Cheng Pu was the only one who knew how to cook. This guy Cheng Pu, his cooking skills are no different from his appearance, and he has no pursuit. The cooked rice can be eaten. Basically, all the ingredients are thrown into the pot. The taste... can't be said to be unpalatable, but it is not delicious.

I wanted to hire a cook a long time ago, but unfortunately everyone doesn't have much salary... so if you can save it, you will save it. In a girl's house, Wang Xiaojiu almost burned the kitchen after cooking a meal.

But after the eighteenth came, it was different! Although she seldom speaks, she always sits quietly watching them bickering, but as long as she sits there, she feels unspeakable. Not to mention the leaps and bounds of the dishes. Even if meat is rarely seen because of the salary issue, Shiba is able to make delicious meals with that pair of magical hands.

But none of them benefited as much as Xiao Jiu. Before the eighteenth came, what kind of look was Xiao Jiu, changing back and forth a few coarse cloth clothes every day, his hair **** with a rope, there was no femininity, and the old-fashioned dress. After the eighteenth generation, Xiao Jiu's hairstyle basically changed every day, not the same every day, and it was very cute. Although there is no valuable jewelry, it is a simple bead and silver hairpin that is also pleasing to the eye.

Not to mention those new clothes. There are some cloths in the county government's warehouse that have not been used, anyway, only Xiao Jiu is a woman, and this woman just can't cook or become a girl.

Xiao Jiu made a grimace at the scholar: "You are envious. Look, isn't this eighteenth one giving you clothes?"

When Cheng Pu heard this, he stopped punching, and walked directly to the side of the well in the yard, hit a bucket of water and poured it down from his head, then shook his head like a big dog, and water drops splashed everywhere.

As for the eighteenth, people had entered the house with their clothes long ago.

The adults put down the cinnabar pen when they heard about the eighteenth coming. In fact, except for the white seven, the county government is usually idle most of the time. The problem now is how to improve the living standards of the people. This place is far away from the capital. , So it is not developed, beautiful scenery is true, and ignorance and backwardness are also true.

Every day is a trivial matter. Next door Zhang San stole the old hen who laid eggs at Li Si's house. Wang Wu took advantage of Chen Mazi to go out and ran to his house to molest the young daughter-in-law of others. Qian Dazhuzi's house lost her baby mother. Pig, Sun Tiedan and Zhao Laogen’s family argued over the small river for irrigation between the acres of land...every day there are a lot of disputes like this.

Occasionally there is a homicide, some who seek money and kill, some who murder their husbands, and some who eat poisonous wild by accident. In short, there are things to be busy every day, and every day is almost busy.

I'm afraid that the white seven matter is the most serious, but it's also the most difficult to solve. The adult was just a county magistrate, and his official position was not high. He finally found Bai Qi from the disappearance case and determined that Bai Qi was the culprit in the disappearance case. But when he was about to arrest people, he found that all the physical evidence was destroyed, and the witnesses were also destroyed. Gone!

Everything has to be said from the beginning, Bai Qi is now dead, and the plan to open the gap from Bai Qi is also temporarily shelved. He can't do anything now, the only thing he can do is wait.

As long as the property under Bai Qi's name does not fall, sooner or later he can follow the vine to dig out the real murderer.

Eighteen made three robes and three pairs of shoes for the three of them. They were all sewn with one stitch and one thread. She was a good girl, and she did it carefully and earnestly. Unlike Xiao Jiu, who stays at the county office every day, these three people often travel around to investigate the case, so the soles must be thick and the robes must be tightly stitched.

The adult has a calm personality and is not suitable for those fancy colors. Eighteen made him a very simple set of gray clothes, which is his usual style. Only the hem is embroidered with some bamboo, which symbolizes the high style. The tailoring fits, and the fabric is carefully washed, sun-dried and smoked. The scholar is elegant, and his blue robe is embroidered with some famous articles, arranged with very clever stitches. If you don't look carefully, you will only think that it is a beautiful embroidered pattern. Cheng Pu didn't like to wear scholar robes, so Shiba made him a azure suit. The only difference was that the boots of the three were all black, but each person's surname was embroidered inside to distinguish them.

"It looks good, thank you."

After receiving compliments and thanks, Shiba Rourou smiled and shook his head: "It was an adult who took me in and didn't dislike me. I should say thank you."

"Eighteen girl, you don't want to leave for the rest of your life." Cheng Pu was very happy holding the new clothes. He wandered through the rivers and lakes alone. His parents had died in the early years, and no one had made new clothes for him for a long time. "Your food is delicious, whether you are a female celebrity, you can read and play chess, what should we do if you leave!"

"Yeah, stay at 18 and live with us!" Xiao Jiu's eyes lit up. "Anyway, you can't think of anything now, so don't think about it! We are a family!"

The scholar also laughed and said: "Yes, not bad, my adult hasn't married yet. If the eighteen girls don't dislike it, we just lack a magistrate."

Eighteen hurriedly waved her hand: "If it doesn't happen, how can I be worthy of an adult..." As she said, she showed a wistful look. Even without memory, she knew what had happened to her. The injury suffered is always acute. She woke up dimly that day. Although she didn't know who these people were, she could see the angry and pitying expressions on their faces. As for when she woke up... she knew even more clearly that this kind of thing, where do you need others to come? tell myself.

When she thought of what she had experienced, Shiba's complexion became a little pale, and she bit her lips tightly.

Suddenly, everyone fell into silence for a while, Xiao Jiu couldn't wait to slap himself, which pot should be opened or not. The scholar also felt that he owed him, and was about to explain, suddenly he heard the adult say: "Who said you are not worthy?"
