Chapter 418 The forty-third bowl of soup (5)
Forty-third bowl of soup (five)
When Bai Qiyi died, although the restaurant and brothel under his name could still maintain operation for a while, the group of dragons had no leader and was not far from the day of collapse.
The adults investigated who the girl who came to his room on the night Bai Qi died. Unfortunately, all the girls in the brothel were checked and there was no conclusion. Everyone had a proof of the absence. In the end, they had to conclude that it was a woman outside the brothel.
But the problem is even bigger. There are so many women in this world, how can we find a mysterious woman? The servants of the Bai Mansion have also questioned them one by one, but no one can tell who Bai Qi was waiting for that night.
The case of trafficking in the population has temporarily come to an end with Bai Qi's death.
I thought that after Bai Qi's death, his property would disappear, but something surprising happened. Although the news that Bai Qi was dead spread throughout the county, brothels, restaurants, were not affected at all, and even the business became more and more prosperous.
Bai Qi has no father or mother, no wife or son, and the dignified Bai Mansion Master died, but did not have any impact on these industries. This has to be said to be a very magical thing. But from another perspective, you can draw a conclusion: whether Bai Qi has done all these businesses. In other words, Bai Qi is just the person in charge on the surface, but the master behind it is not him.
So who has been supporting Bai Qi for so many years and asked him to do his business so big? Who was the one who was about to find out the real murderer, destroying all the evidence and even solving the witnesses? At this point, the adults have not found the girl who was willing to testify at the time.
They all knew that the body was dead, but no one knew where the body was. At first, he thought it was done by Bai Qi, so he took the people to the cemetery for unknown lengths, but in the end he returned empty-handed.
The other party was astonishingly powerful and knew them very well. On the contrary, they were confused by the master behind the scenes. Not to mention asking the other party for guilt, they didn't even know who the other party was or what their name was.
With Bai Qi's death, the case gradually became silent, but no one gave up, whether it was an adult or a scholar, because there were still girls and children being abducted. This proves that the real mastermind behind this incident still did not stop his mercenary pace.
Early in the morning, the adults were reviewing official documents. The scholar sat aside to read a book. Cheng Pu was fisting in the yard. He took off his shirt and went barely. His strong muscles were soaked in the sun with sweat and a bronze light. The scholar was afraid of heat and hid in the house and hid in the room from time to time to look at Cheng Pu outside. He really didn't understand why this person liked such sweaty things. Like him, he felt that his body was so sticky that he could feel uncomfortable.
At this time, Cheng Pu suddenly stopped practicing boxing, leaned his head and smiled and said hello: "Xiaojiu, Miss Eighteenth!"
Xiaojiu tsk twice: "What a skill."
Shiba also looked at her with a smile. She was not particularly afraid of the three of them now, but she still had to hide when she saw other men. Fortunately, Xiaojiu was always with her when she didn't need a mortal examination, so Shiba rarely showed that kind of terror.
Cheng Pu patted his chest vigorously: "That's not, come and try it. Brother's muscles are not blowing."
Xiaojiu was eager to try it. Seeing that the two beautiful chest muscles were itchy, they had just jumped forward two steps. Before they could take a photo, they heard the scholar say sarcastically: "This is blue sky and sunny. It's a girl's house. She is still a yellow girl. She jumps at a young man and touches her chest muscles. It's really big in the forest, and there are all kinds of birds." After saying that, she sighed and looked at Shiba holding her new clothes. "There are gentle and quiet girls like Shiba, and there are also... Hey, Shiba, what are you doing?"
When Shiba heard him say this, Xiaojiu actually approached Cheng Pu, then blushed and knocked Cheng Pu's chest, pursed her lips and looked at the scholar. She was shy and rarely spoke, but this silent protest had already told everyone what she meant.
Xiaojiu was moved: "Zeba, you are so nice to me!"
"Can't that be good?" the scholar muttered. "We just sew new clothes and comb your hair and make delicious food. We don't have the blessing to enjoy it."
Although he said that, his eyes looked very gentle at Xiaojiu. Since the eighteenth anniversary, the living standards of the four of them have risen sharply. They had to buy groceries and cook by themselves every day, but Cheng Pu was the only one who knows how to cook. Cheng Pu has no difference in cooking skills and looks, and he is careless and has no pursuit. The food he cooks is enough to eat, and basically he is a hodgepodge and throws all ingredients into the pot. The taste... cannot be said to be unpalatable, but it is not much delicious.
I had long wanted to hire a chef, but unfortunately everyone's salary was not much... So I saved as much as I could. Xiaojiu, a girl, almost burned the kitchen when cooking a meal.
But it was different after the 18th arrived! Although she rarely spoke and always sat quietly watching them quarrel, as long as she sat there, she felt an indescribable beauty. Not to mention the rapid progress of the dishes now. Even if meat is rarely seen due to salary issues, Shiba could make delicious food with his amazing hands.
But they were not as good as Xiaojiu. Before the Eighteen came, what was Xiaojiu's style? He changed several pieces of coarse cloth clothes back and forth every day, tied a rope to the hair, without any femininity, and dressed up in an old-fashioned manner. After the Eighteenth, Xiaojiu's hairstyle basically changed every day, and it was different every day, and it was very cute. Although there were no valuable jewelry, even simple pearls and silver hairpins were pleasing to the eye.
Not to mention those new clothes. Some cloths in the county warehousing room have never been used. Anyway, Xiao Jiu is the only woman, and this woman can’t cook or beauties.
Xiaojiu grimaced at the scholar: "You are envious. Look, isn't Shiba just sending you clothes?"
When Cheng Pu heard this, he stopped punching and walked directly to the well in the yard, poured a bucket of water down from his head, and then shook his head like a big dog, splashing water droplets everywhere.
As for Eighteen, the man had already entered the house with his clothes.
As early as when I heard that the 18th was coming, the adults put down their cinnabar pen. In fact, except for Bai Qi, the county government is mostly leisurely. The problem now is nothing more than how to improve the living standards of the people. It is far from the capital, so it is not developed. It is true that the mountains and rivers are beautiful, and it is also true that the ignorance and backwardness are true.
Every day, there are trivial matters. Zhang San next door stole the old hen that lays eggs from Li Si's family. Wang Wu took advantage of Chen Mazi's house to go out to tease his wife. Qian Dazhuzi's house lost the old sow that had left his cubs. Sun Tiedan and Zhao Laogen's family competed for the small river between the few acres of land for irrigation... There are many such disputes every day.
Occasionally, there are murderers, some who seek money, some who murder their husbands, and some who accidentally eat poisonous wild animals. In short, there are things to be busy every day, and they are almost all busy every day.
Bai Qi's case is probably the most serious, but it is also the most difficult to solve. The adult is just a county magistrate and has a small official position. He finally found Bai Qi from the disappearance case and confirmed that Bai Qi was the culprit of the disappearance case. But as soon as he was about to arrest someone, he found that all the physical evidence was destroyed and the evidence was gone!
Everything has to be started from scratch. Bai Qi is dead again now. The plan to open the gap from Bai Qi will be temporarily stuck. He can't do anything now, and the only thing he can do is wait.
As long as the industry under Bai Qi's name does not collapse, sooner or later he can follow the clues and find out the real murderer.
Shiba made three robes and three pairs of shoes for the three of them, all of which were sewn with stitches and threads. She was good at the girl, and she did it carefully and seriously. Unlike Xiaojiu, who stayed in the county government every day, these three people often ran around to investigate the case, so the soles of the shoes must be thick and the robes were sewn very tightly.
The adult has a calm personality and is not suitable for those fancy colors. Shiba made him a simple gray dress, which was his usual style. He had only some bamboo embroidered at the hem, symbolizing noble character. The tailoring was well-washed and smoked. The scholar was elegant, and his green robe was embroidered with famous works, arranged with clever stitches. If you don't look carefully, you will only think that it was the beautiful embroidered pattern. Cheng Pu never liked to wear scholar's robe, so Shiba made him a set of sky blue dresses. The only similarity was that the boots of the three were all black, but each person's surname was embroidered inside to distinguish.
"Very good looking, thank you."
After receiving praise and thanks, Shiba Rouru smiled and shook his head: "It was the adult who took me in and didn't dislike me. It was because I should say thank you."
"Miss Eighteen, it's better if you don't leave for the rest of your life." Cheng Pu was so happy holding his new clothes. He was alone in the world. His parents died in their early years. No one has made new clothes for him for a long time. "You cook delicious food, you are good at the girl's red, and you can also study and play chess. What should we do if you leave!"
"Yes, let's stay here and live with us!" Xiaojiu's eyes lit up. "Anyway, you can't remember anything now, so don't think about it! We are a family!"
The scholar also smiled and said, "It's not bad. My adult has not married yet. If the Eighteenth Girl does not dislike it, we just need a county magistrate's wife."
Shiba waved his hand in a hurry: "No, I, how can I be worthy of adults..." As she said that, she showed a look of melancholy. Even if she had no memory, she knew what had happened to her. The woman was always keen to the harm she suffered. She woke up in a daze that day. Although she didn't know who these people were, she could see the angry and pity expressions on their faces. As for waking up... she knew even more that there was no need for others to tell her about such things.
When she thought of what she had experienced, Shiba's face became a little pale, so she clenched her lips.
Suddenly, everyone fell into silence. Xiaojiu wanted to slap himself, and he would carry any pot without opening. The scholar also felt that he was owed and was about to explain, but suddenly he heard the adult say, "Who said you are not worthy?"
