Chapter 188 Xiguan Mansion
"Found it, there is news, brother! Sister..."
Xiao Zhang ran in happily, but saw Yin Xiu and Ma Xiaoyu staring at each other with strange expressions.
After taking a sip of wine and stroking her chest a few times, Yin Xiu glared at Ma Xiaoyu, then turned to Xiao Zhang and said, "What are you arguing about? Found it?"
Xiao Zhang nodded, then shook his head.
"What's going on?" Ma Xiaoyu also became anxious.
Xiao Zhang thought about the wording for a moment, and then said: "I haven't found it, but there is news that a female corpse has just been found in Xiguan, and all the blood has been sucked dry. The news that just came out is still hot."
When Yin Xiu heard the news, he stood up immediately.
Just as he was about to set off, he caught a glimpse of Ma Xiaoyu sitting there, motionless, from the corner of his eye.
"what happened?"
Ma Xiaoyu seemed a little embarrassed. She scratched her face with her fingers and said, "I borrowed this dress from someone to hide my identity on the road. It doesn't fit very well..."
Yin Xiu looked at her curiously from top to bottom. The floral blue cloth top and trousers, as well as the black-soled embroidered shoes and white cotton socks, looked like a rural girl's outfit, which was really incompatible with her overall temperament.
But he himself was not much better off.
The lights were dim at night and nothing could be seen. If he were in a slightly brighter place or during the day, he would be caught with milk tea and tortured wherever he was covered in blood and damage.
Seeing that the two of them were hesitant, Xiao Zhang clapped his hands and said, "It's easy. Our place is very close to Shangxiajiu, where there are so many clothes! Whether it's a cheongsam coat or a product just released from Dunling Fashion Week, Chunair, Chunair, whatever brand you can’t buy!”
Shangxiajiu is indeed very close to here, but within 10 minutes of walking, they have reached the pedestrian street that is still brightly lit near midnight.
Yin Xiu looked at the dazzling array of clothes in the store and was immediately dazzled.
"Find me a windbreaker, long and dark, with pockets inside so I can put things in it, and find a pair of leather boots. The toe and heel should be harder, preferably with patches for reinforcement."
The clerk gave him a puzzled look and said, "You work at a construction site?"
"Absolutely. Sometimes you have to kick a few rocks down. It's better if your shoes are sturdy."
While Yin Xiu was still choosing with the clerk, Ma Xiaoyu had changed her clothes, which suddenly dimmed the lights in the store.
The previous country girl's attire was put aside, replaced by a long black leather windbreaker, Martin boots, and underneath the windbreaker was a black shirt and leather skirt. The whole person looked extremely neat and capable from top to bottom.
If she didn't still have that cold temperament, I'm afraid no one would be able to connect her with the previous Ma Xiaoyu.
"Done yet?"
Glancing at Yin Xiu from the corner of her eye, Ma Xiaoyu tied her ponytail again.
"It's good morning. I'm just waiting for you."
Yin Xiu took the windbreaker from the clerk, put it on and walked out.
……
They walked quickly and soon arrived at the scene of the incident in the dark.
It was a rather old street, with traditional Xiguan mansions on both sides. The outer walls of the four houses were covered with moss, and even the floor was wet, covered with a thin layer of green.
Xiao Zhang was in the front, and he was familiar with the road, leading them through alleys and alleys.
"Xiao Zhang, are you so familiar with this place?" Yin Xiu asked.
Xiao Zhang turned back with a smile on his face. "I spent a few years in the provincial capital when I was a child, and I haven't been to many other places. I was active in Xiguan. I remember that there was a family named Kang here who lived in a big house. I don't know if they have moved out now. Is it gone?"
Ma Xiaoyu shook his head, "If nothing happens, they won't move away. Even if there are floods, few people will move with their families."
When Xiao Zhang heard this, he nodded in agreement and was quite emotional.
"Yes, people are cheap when they leave their hometown. People like me have been traveling around with my parents since I was a child, doing business everywhere. I can't live in a city for more than a few years. I am an outsider everywhere.
After arriving in Hong Kong Island, my parents died, and I didn’t want to work in a factory, so I went out to work as a mule. As a result, I was dragged out by the gangbang brother and became a marginalized person. I have been around for a few years, and the society has been dormant for a few months. Yes, come and go, I have stayed in other clubs longer than in Heli Sheng, so which prefix do you think I am? "
Yin Xiu noticed his tiredness, patted him on the shoulder and said, "Why don't you stop messing around after you return to Hong Kong Island, and I'll introduce you to a job."
"Really, brother?"
There was a hint of joy in Xiao Zhang's eyes, but then he said hesitantly: "I can't do the hard work. You know that people like me who work in social groups spend their money today and like quick money."
Yin Xiu rolled his eyes and said, "How about I introduce you to join the Provincial and Hong Kong Flag Soldiers and do something big?"
Xiao Zhang quickly shook his head like a rattle, and then showed a mean smile.
"I'd better do simple things, such as coaxing rich women and providing psychological counseling to young women."
Ma Xiaoyu rolled her eyes and said, "With your appearance, it's more reliable to join the factory."
"Sister, you are wrong about me! Although my appearance is not as good as that of my elder brother, I still have a face as beautiful as a crown jewel, a nose as bold as a sword, and sharp eyebrows and starry eyes..."
"Okay, let's get down to business first and talk about other things later."
Yin Xiu stopped him because he had already seen the archway not far away, with the three characters "Hepingli" written on it.
Under the archway, two beggars, an old man and a young man, were sitting, as if they had been waiting for a long time.
Xiao Zhang trotted a few steps quickly, rushed to them, and blurted out: "Where is the body?"
The old beggar yawned and said lazily: "Why does it take so long? The mosquitoes are almost asleep."
"Something happened on the way and it was delayed for a while."
Xiao Zhang laughed and urged: "Hurry up, we are in a hurry."
"Are you the only ones rushing?"
The old beggar looked at him expressionlessly and yawned again.
"Hey! You don't know who I am in Hong Kong Island, do you? Don't look at me talking to you now, but if I get violent, I will even be afraid of myself!"
Xiao Zhang rolled up his sleeves and was about to grab the old beggar by the collar when he was gently pushed away by Yin Xiu and squeezed to the front.
"Old man, please lead the way. We are really in a hurry."
He handed over a few banknotes. When the old beggar saw this, he nodded with satisfaction and motioned to the young beggar to accept them.
Then the old beggar finally stood up and stretched.
"Come with me. Several security guards came just now and took the body to the ancestral hall. They are having a meeting at the moment."
