Chapter 39 Chapter 39(1/3)

In the afternoon of that day, notices of two major cases in Guangyin Prefecture and Yuanzhou were posted all over Ping'an County, which really caused the people to be frightened, as if a thunder exploded on this snowy day.

Although the critical details of the case have not been made public, it is not difficult to imagine the murderer's cruelty from just a few words:

Two families! Destroy the family! At least dozens of people would have to be said to be?

Not to mention dozens of people, ordinary people are lenient in killing dozens of chickens in one breath...

People cherish their lives. Even if the ones who died in two cases were rich people, no one dared to be lucky. They all became alert. They must lock the doors and windows at home, and go out together, for fear that the vicious murderer would itch for a moment and just grab a poor person and kill him.

Both the yamen and the inspection department suddenly became busy, the patrol forces at many checkpoints doubled, and the pedestrians entered and exited were more stringent.

In this way, it would be fine if the murderer's next target was not in Ping'an County, but if he was there, he would be so cautious and dare not act rashly. The longer the opponent dragged on, the greater the possibility of exposure.

In addition, if it was indeed a serial killer, there must be some connection between the deceased. Perhaps outsiders cannot guess it for the time being, but the relevant personnel will definitely understand after seeing it and think they will take action.

Next, all they have to do is to use stillness to drive.

Perhaps it was due to external threats, for a moment, Ping'an County was very peaceful, and even the gangsters who had always loved to go to the streets to provoke trouble would not dare to emerge.

Without the case, Yan Jiao and Guo Zhui, who love work, were forced to clean up again.

Because the cause of death was too clear, the two of them looked over and over the autopsy reports of the two cases for dozens of times without any new discoveries, so they had to wait for outside to send the news.

But the news has not been delayed, I am so anxious.

Yan Jiao was anxious: If this continues, the officials in the two places will be really cold...

Mrs. Yue was compassionate and was getting older this year and couldn't listen to such a tragedy. So she burned incense for a few days and recited the mantra of rebirth for the deceased.

Even if they really seek revenge, those servants died innocently and were really pitiful.

Seeing that Yan Jiao was absent-minded in everything he did these days and even had a smaller appetite, Mrs. Yue was afraid that she would get angry any more. She turned around and fell ill before the prisoner was caught, so she took the initiative to suggest taking her to Yuanshan Temple outside the city to burn incense.

"I heard that the wintersweets there are very good blooming, and the abbot is also a wonderful person. Let's go and relax tomorrow."

Yan Jiao originally wanted to refuse, but then he thought that it was useless to continue to hold it in the yamen. It would be better to go out for a walk and change his mind. There may be unexpected gains.

While lunch was having lunch, Mrs. Yue told Pang Mu about this.

Pang Mu hesitated for a moment, but did not object, "The atmosphere in the city is now dull. It's good that you can go out for a walk, so you can only bring a few more people. I'll pick you up in person in the evening. Don't come back alone."

But as soon as he finished speaking, he felt it was inappropriate and immediately changed his words: "Well, I will handle the business later and go with you."

"If you are busy with official duties, just bring more people. Don't delay the main business." said the old lady.

"I have a sense of responsibility," Pang Mu replied, "There are no major issues at hand in the past two days. Now it's a turbulent time, so it's better to be cautious."

As he said that, he looked at Yan Jiao again, "The mountain is wet and cold, so you should wear more clothes."

"I won't disturb your work, will you?" Yan Jiao almost wanted to tell the old lady that he would go there after a few days.

At this sensitive moment, they still hooked up with Master Guan to go out to play, and no matter how they thought they felt they were a little unemployed.

"No," Pang Mu smiled affirmatively, "I can't do anything if there is no new clue."

Calculate the time, it is time for the pigeons to come back in the past two days.

Yan Jiao was relieved and asked the old lady again, "Since I went to the temple to appreciate the flowers, it would be difficult to see it in vain. But I can't donate money for indulgence and oil. I don't know if I can make some vegetarian food, snacks, etc."

She works more and get more, and she doesn't have to work harder. After she doesn't have to go to the big kitchen to work, she naturally doesn't have to get more money. Now she is still three taels. It's okay to eat and drink normally, but if she goes to donate money, she always feels too difficult, so she might as well not beat the swollen face and pretend to be fat from the beginning.

"Burning incense and worshiping Buddha is a sincere heart. Even if you go empty-handed, will there be someone else who beat it out? You are so cautious," the old lady smiled, "But there are so many people who are not surprised."

This is agreed.

Then the old lady said playfully: "I heard that vegetarian food is good there. Since you have to bring things, we can't suffer any losses. So I handed in the post first and had lunch there tomorrow!"

Yan Jiao and Pang Mu both laughed.

It was rare to have something to do, and Yan Jiao felt the interest. After saying a few words to the mother and son, he went to the kitchen to prepare.

Relying on existing equipment and limited time, it is not as easy as Yan Jiao thought. After thinking about it for a long time, she only decided on the improved version of Dorayaki and Sesame Walnut Bantang.

Yuanshan Temple is on the mountain 16 or 7 miles east of the city. It is now snowing heavily and it is even hard to leave. If you want to catch lunch, cough cough, it is wrong. They will go to worship Buddha early. They will set off at the latest when Mao and Chen intersect. They must do all the preparations today.

Peel out the walnut kernels and seal them in a jar. Then cook some red bean paste and mung bean paste. After thinking about it, I finally cut some square oil paper.

Because it was the first time he went back to worship Buddha in the Jingjing Temple, Yan Jiao was so excited that he didn't sleep well all night, and got up before dawn the next day.

She first fryed the sesame seeds and walnuts and mashed them, poured them into the melted brown sugar water and stirred them evenly, then poured them into a large flat tray prepared in advance and rolled them flat, compacted, and cut them into small pieces.

Waiting for the sugar to cool down, I just went to prepare the batter of royaki.

Ping'an County has many mountains and grass, and there are many dairy cows. After Yan Jiao was familiar with the terrain, he found a household and asked them to get up early every day to send some, and took Mrs. Yue to drink milk with her to supplement calcium.

Because he did not say in advance that what he sent was only the size of two people today, Yan Jiao had to sacrifice his own pain.

Unfortunately, there was no pan. Yan Jiao didn't control the heat at first, and it was so muddy and broken that it was piled up. Fortunately, it made perfect after practice, and the small round cake that was baked was very cute.

"I just said why there was any movement," while busy, the old lady pushed the door and said angrily, "I wanted to drag you out, but I didn't expect to mess with you so much that I was so tired and uneasy."

Look at this full of things, this silly child has not known how long he has been getting up and has not had enough sleep.

Yan Jiao shoveled out the four small round cakes in the pot quickly and smiled and said, "Look at what you said, it's rare for me to go out to play, so I can't sleep happily."

The old lady was stunned when she heard this, "You used to?"

Yan Jiao shook his head honestly, "I'm too busy."

She is really too busy.

When she was in elementary school, her parents divorced and went their separate ways. The living expenses were intermittent. Later, there was no movement and even no one could be found.

The grandparents who raised her were just ordinary retired workers and their financial resources were not well off. In order to reduce the burden on her family as soon as possible, she studied hard, skipped several levels, worked everywhere during holidays, and worked part-time during college. She was simply a spontaneous person, and she had no time or financial resources to go out to play.

After she defeated her competitors and successfully became a forensic doctor, she realized that her previous busyness was just a pediatrician. Being able to squeeze out some time to make something delicious was the only pastime. All the travels so far have been achieved through dreams.

When the old lady heard this, she sighed for a long time and felt extremely distressed.

She was so moved that Yan Jiao felt a little embarrassed, "Just get through it, as the saying goes, God will give a great responsibility to this person..."

The old lady told her that she was laughing in tears, but she just shook her head and wanted to come and take action again.

Seeing that he couldn't drive him away, Yan Jiao had to assign a job of wrapping oil paper for sesame walnuts on the pond. This happened to be trivial but not tired.

When he was picking up the filling for the Doroyaki, Pang Mu walked in with a smell of food. Yan Jiao subconsciously sniffed and smiled: "Donkey meat firewood and meat sauce cooked cakes! It was just right with the black rice porridge on the stove."

Pang Mu laughed, "Your nose is almost as good as Old Picture."

Yan Jiao raised his chin proudly, "This donkey meat firewood is a unique combination. The ingredients are very unique. The firewood outside is also particularly crispy, so you can smell it."

Pang Mu instinctively sniffed a few times and remained silent consciously.

OK, each has its own strengths...

He took the initiative to set up the dishes and chopsticks. Seeing that the two of them had not finished their work, he was eager to try and ask for help.

Yan Jiao originally agreed, but after he crushed the two small cakes, his face turned dark. He couldn't help but raise his hand and patted him twice, "You can give up!"

If they continue to help like this, they may have to go out with a box of snacks today!

Pang Mu thought he was thick in skin and flesh, and he was just a fool when he was photographed. "Look at how light you apply, I just think it's simple."

Donkey meat is crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, and the boss is kind and kind. The stuffed donkey meat is so full that it overflows. Occasionally, it is particularly flirty and refreshing when eaten.

The meat sauce pancake was sprinkled with sesame seeds, and the roasted oil was whipped up, making a crackling sound when you sip.

Take a few more sips of rice porridge, well, it will be there this day.

Yan Jiao made a lot of snacks and kept some of them. After Pang Mu finished his meal, he couldn't watch any of them, so he went to the kitchen and found two of them. He was gone in three or two.

"This taste is very special," he clapped the residue of the royuki in his hand and said, "It's also the food in your hometown?"

"That's right," Yan Jiao smiled, thought for a while and said, "It's still recommended by celebrities."

"Celebrity?" Pang Mu asked casually, "What celebrity?"

Yan Jiao smiled mysteriously, "Blue Fatty."

Pang Mu: "…what fat man?"

He only knows that people's eyes have blue colors, can they be blue?

Yan Jiao smiled but said nothing.

She wanted to ride a horse, but Pang Mu rejected it directly.

"Not to mention that the weather is so cold and heavy snow is hard to handle. You are not experienced in one person or another. You are not able to do it." Faced with the issue of principle, his tone was very serious, and there was obviously no room for negotiation.

The old lady also advised, "Yes, good boy, this is not easy to play with when riding a horse. Be obedient, let's take a car."

Yan Jiao is not a person who is ignorant of importance. He responded after hearing what they said. He never thought of listening to Pang Mu again: "If you want to walk your horse, it would be fine to take it out and follow the car."

When Yan Jiao heard this, he was overjoyed and smiled gratefully at him: Isn’t she just afraid that the little white horse will be suffocated?

Unexpectedly, Pang Mu said with a smile again: "I just don't know if it wants to go with you."

Yan Jiao was stunned, "It likes me so much, how could it not follow me?"

Then I was slapped in the face.

The little white horse was really happy to see her going over, so she jumped and jumped in the stable and stretched out her tongue to lick her. But when Yan Jiao opened the stable door, the little white horse ran out about two feet long, and froze all over. Then she turned around and rushed back like lightning, and kicked her at the door very sensible.

Yan Jiao: "..."
