Nightwatcher Chapter 36: Trick or treat


   "Do you know the process of solving the case?" Xu Qi'an started from the topic he is good at:

  "Observe the scene, collect clues, then make bold assumptions, and carefully verify. Solve the mystery a little bit to get the truth of the case."

   The flickering candlelight reflected on Xu Ershu's dazed expression.

   Xu Erlang frowned in thought.

   Xu Qi'an talked freely: "What we have to think about is not how to calculate Zhou Li, but to observe Zhou Li, collect information, and then summarize, make a bold plan, and then carefully study the process to judge the feasibility of the plan. ."

  's remarks were organized and clear, and his thoughts were rigorous, leaving Xu Erlang speechless, and he agreed that the eldest brother's idea was correct.

   It turns out that Ning Yan is also a resourceful and reliable child...Xu Pingzhi is very pleased. He used to worry that his nephew would be too stubborn and confess that he would suffer in the future.

   Seeing that neither of them refuted, Xu Qi'an went on to say: "Farewell, you have a reputation for being a man, you can get in touch with Shilin students, and understand some official information. You go to collect Zhou Li’s intelligence, everything is fine, don’t miss it. ."

   "Second uncle, Zhou Mansion is in the inner city. Yudaowei is responsible for night patrols of the inner and outer cities. You are responsible for monitoring the movement of Zhou Mansion. Don't do it yourself. Find a trusted confidant to stare at."

   "I need to know where Zhou Li went, what he did, and who he contacted in a day."

   The father and son nodded, suddenly thinking of something, staring at Xu Qi'an: "What about you?"

   Xu Qi'an smiled mysteriously: "I want to find a way out for Xu Mansion, leave the old, we will discuss the details later, and ask you some things by the way. Tonight, I will stay overnight in your house."

  ......

   ticking, ticking...

   The sound of water leaking in the silent room.

   "Brother, are you asleep?"

   "No."

   "Oh."

  ......

   "Brother, are you asleep."

   "No."

   "Oh."

  ......

   "Big brother, you are the one to me..."

   Xu Qi'an was surprised, and heard Xu Xinnian say: "Take your elbow."

   "Oh oh..."

   There was another silence. Listening to each other’s breathing, Xu Qi'an asked, "Are you unable to sleep."

  Xu New Year's "um" said: "Not very comfortable."

  Me too...Xu Qi'an said with emotion: "How long have we not collapsed together and fell asleep."

  Xu New Year thought for a while, and replied: "After you were ten years old, since you spent one hundred tael in martial arts every year, and the relationship with my mother froze, we also became strangers."

   I thought you would say something arrogantly: We have never fallen asleep together... Now we can sleep together, sister Lingyue will never be possible... flashed in my mind The memory of the original owner when he was young, Xu Qi'an sighed:

  "Actually, I don’t blame my aunt. Mitoguard’s errands can’t get much oil and water. My second uncle tried his best to add salary, and only two hundred taels a year. Half of it was given to me. The other half was. It is inevitable for your aunt to have resentment for your expenses."

  Xu Xinnian turned the topic off: "If this crisis is not over, the Xu family may really be over."

  If the Minister Zhou can't fall down, after the Jingchao, it will be the time when the disaster of Xu Mansion strikes.

   "I will arrange the back road. After the big deal, our family will leave the capital. My second uncle and I have good skills, so we don’t have to worry about losing a life wherever we go." Xu Qi’an regretted:

   "It's just that Erlang, you studied hard for ten years before you were selected in the exam."

  Xu New Year's "Oh" uttered, "Fame and fame are just too much, I am a scholar, I read the books of sages and cultivated the way of sages. How can I care about my fame?"

   Xu Qi'an deeply agrees and said: "If the sky is not born, I will prosper the new year, and I will be honored as a long night."

   Friendship’s boat overturned, Xu Xinnian took a short breath, suddenly rolled up, rolled away the bedding, and pretended to sleep without a word.

  "Hey, farewell, divide the quilt into me. For those in the twelfth lunar month, even if the eldest brother is in the refinement stage, it is uncomfortable."

   Xu Cijiu curled up, wrapped the bedding tightly, and ignored him.

  ....

  Xu Lingyue’s boudoir, the raging charcoal fire last night has been extinguished, and the carbon dioxide in the room makes the air dull.

   opened a slit window to deliver fresh air to the boudoir.

   On Xu Lingyue’s beautiful white porcelain face, the small brush-like eyelashes trembled, she woke up with her eyes open, and stared at the bed curtain above her head for a moment. After a few seconds, her dazed eyes recovered and supported Sit up.

   She stretched her waist lazily, the thick quilt slipped off, and the thin white blouse wrapped the girl's body, her chest bulging.

  The white neck has a beautiful curve, and the fluffy messy hair sets off the delicate and pretty face.

   Xu Lingyue yawned as she covered her ruddy mouth with her little green hands.

  The maid who slept on the opposite side woke up in shock, dressing and waking up calmly.

   "The air is stuffy in the room, open the window." The girl rubbed her eyebrows and ordered.

   maid ran to open the window immediately.

   Xu Lingyue lifted the quilt off the bed, walked to the window, breathing the cold air from the yard.

  The eldest lady who came from a military commander was not so squeamish. When Xu Pingzhi taught Xu Qi'an to exercise her body, she liked to pick up Xu Erlang and Xu Lingyue.

   The brothers and sisters laid a solid foundation at that time, and their physical fitness is very good.

   is just a little older, so my aunt will not let a pair of children practice martial arts with her hapless nephew. After all, Xu Pingzhi, the head of the family, had decided that his nephew would go to martial arts and his son would go to school.

   Scholars practice martial arts and do not do their jobs properly.

   My daughter can't practice martial arts even more, and she develops an ugly pimple, how will she marry in the future?

   Xu Lingyue was enjoying the fresh air when she suddenly saw a figure walking by the window, wearing a black background and red piping on the cuffs and neckline.

   The brothers and sisters looked at each other silently through the window for a few seconds.

   Xu Qi'an lowered his head and glanced at his sister's gratifying breast.

   Xu Lingyue screamed and slammed...closed the window.

   "My sister has grown up!" Xu Qi'an thought with relief.

   Although I didn’t grow up on my own, I just watched it grow up anyway.

  In the boudoir, Xu Lingyue squatted on the ground, her face flushed and her chest was red.

   the maid said, "Miss, your habit should be changed. You have to freshen up and open the window. Look, Da Lang saw it. Fortunately, it’s your own brother. If you show it to outsiders, you How to live."

   "You still said it!" Xu Lingyue said in shame.

   In the old days, Xu New Year didn’t go here, nor was his parents’ main house here. Therefore, the first thing to do when you get up in the morning is to open the windows.

   How could the eldest brother be in the inner yard... Xu Lingyue, who was sitting in front of the vanity mirror, was puzzled.

   maid standing behind her, dressing him up, and finally, she picked out the jewelry box and complained: "Miss, you don't have any beautiful hairpins and hairpins."

   Xu Lingyue did not answer, and sighed. The family suffered from repeated disasters, and his savings were emptied. The family had to spend seventeen or eighteen mouths, including the servants, with huge expenses.

  Where did the silver buy jewelry.

  "The hairpin at Baoqixuan is very beautiful. I went in to see it yesterday, but I couldn’t bear to come out. If it’s inserted between your hair, you must, definitely...make a good match."

   "It's a mutual radiance." Xu Lingyue's eyes flashed longing, but she quickly suppressed it.

   the maid said to herself: "It's too expensive, ten taels of silver. Unless you can solve the puzzle in the store, the boss will be cheaper."

   Xu Lingyue listened absently, and suddenly asked: "Lan'er, do you think your brother has changed a lot recently."

  The maid named Lan'er was taken aback, and her face suddenly burst into a smile:

  "Da Lang is gentler, more interesting, and more capable than before. In the past, he always had a straight face, and was not very good to the young lady and Jiro. He smiled only when he talked to the master ."

   Xu Lingyue seemed very satisfied with the maid’s answer, her pretty face blooming with a smile, "It's not his fault, it's my mother who hasn't waited to see him."

   Xu Lingyue likes this feeling of warming up brother and sister relationship, which makes people feel happy~IndoMTL.com~.

   The older brother was not very friendly and boring, but now he is very interesting and speaks nicely.

  .....

   Xu Qi'an came to the door of Xu Lingyin’s room. She was not yet at the age of a male and female guard, so she pushed in without knocking on the door. She saw Xu Lingyin squatting on the ground, her little paw holding a bristle toothbrush, her face straight. Brush your teeth very seriously.

   as if this is a major project.

  The maid in the room is sorting the bedding.

   "It's a cauldron..." She raised her head and said vaguely with bubbles in her mouth.

  "How do I wash it myself?" Xu Qi'an asked, looking at the maid.

   "Daddy said that men should be self-improvement in order to practice martial arts well."

   "Do you...Do you know that you are a girl?" Xu Qi'an thought about it.

   "You know." Xiao Douding tilted his head, looking innocent.

  No, you don’t know... Xu Qi'an said: "Then do you know the difference between boys and girls."

  "Big Brother, I don't know." Xiaodouding was very honest, and then asked: "What's the difference?"

   This involves physiology. The long talks are endless, and the ringtones may not be understood.... With his profound background and excellent cultivation of nine years of compulsory education in his previous life, Xu Qi'an concluded that it is suitable for all ages , Easy-to-understand science:

  "In short, um...boys grow up to be funny, girls grow up to make trouble."

   Xu Lingyin suddenly realized, and said happily: "No wonder my mother always said that I was a troublemaker."

   She ran round and round in the room, yelling happily: "I am a troublemaker, I am a troublemaker..."

   Xu Qi'an silently closed the door and didn't plan to eat breakfast at home today.
