A Ming left in a hurry and came back very quickly. He held a thick book and said: "This is the foreign population register. I just looked through it. There are about one hundred permanent residents in Jiuquan Town in recent times."
personal."
"A hundred or ten people is not a lot. Let's take a rough look at it first and select a few key figures for investigation." Feng Yi said after taking over the register.
Several people gathered around, looking at the information of each immigrant and asking questions from time to time. From this, it can be seen that A Ming is quite qualified as a security captain.
No matter which person he asked, he could simply say a few words about that person's temperament, personality, and hobbies, which showed that he had put in a lot of effort.
"What's going on with this painter Bai?"
Feng Yi pointed to the name and asked curiously: "Doesn't he have a name?"
"We asked about this, and he said that his name is Painter Bai, and he has no other name;
He also said that he likes to travel around and has no fixed residence. He will stay in Jiuquan Town for a while and then leave.
By the way, his paintings are very lively and very popular." A Ming explained from the sidelines.
"Painter Bai?"
Feng Yi repeated it, and suddenly remembered the sound of the guzheng he heard last night, and his heart moved slightly, and asked: "This painter Bai still likes to play the guzheng?"
"Well, it seems that he brought it with him when he came here, but he usually plays late at night, and not many people hear it. I heard him once when I was patrolling at night, and he played quite well." A Ming said.
"It's him. He seems to have studied Buddhism. I had a discussion with him by chance and found that this person is not simple." Master Yixiu added next to him.
"Well, that day I followed Xiaohu to watch him paint. The beauties he painted were really good, as if they were alive..."
A Cong added next to him: "It's a pity that his paintings are not sold for takeout, otherwise I really want to buy one."
"You bastard, you've been craving for women since you were young. Master is almost forty."
You are still single at the age of 10, don’t follow your example, Senior Brother Jiale!"
After hearing A Cong's words, Taoist Priest Simu knocked on his forehead angrily.
"Obviously you have a bad temper and no one wants to be with you..." A Cong muttered unconvinced.
"What did you say?"
Taoist Master Four Eyes was about to take action again, but Feng Yi stopped him and said to Acong: "Junior brother, did anything strange happen to you and Xiaohu that day after you and Xiaohu watched Painter Bai's painting, or did Xiaohu say anything strange?
"
"Why, you doubt..."
Before A Ming finished speaking, Feng Yi made a hissing gesture and asked: "Don't you doubt him?"
"No…"
A Ming thought for a moment, shook his head and said doubtfully: "Yes, along the way, many suspects appeared in my mind, but I didn't think of Painter Bai."
A Cong was surprised when he heard Feng Yi's words: "I also think Bai Hua is a very nice person.
As for before leaving that day, Xiaohu seemed to have mentioned that he smelled a fragrance, but I didn't smell it."
"Um."
After hearing this, Feng Yi said: "Obviously he is a master of both piano and painting. He is a very outstanding and highly visible person, but you don't show much concern. Even if I don't ask you, you wouldn't expect such a person in him.
It’s not simple.”
"Indeed."
Uncle Jiu nodded and said, "I also heard the sound of the guzheng in the town late last night. I played it quite well, but if you didn't say anything today, I wouldn't be able to remember it. It's really weird."
Speaking of this, Uncle Jiu paused and said, "Why are you so interested in him?"
"It's like this. The world outside seems peaceful now, but in fact there are undercurrents and monsters everywhere. If he were an ordinary person, how could he remain unscathed?"
Feng Yi said with a serious face.
"Well, that makes sense." Qiu Sheng held his chin and nodded.
Feng Yi breathed a sigh of relief in his heart. He would not admit that it was only after Annie mentioned it that he became particularly interested in the painter Bai.
"Then let's go to Painter Bai's house first. I really want to see what the stunning beauties painted by A Cong look like." Wen Cai said at the side.
"Let's do this. Qiu Shengwen and I will go to see this painter Bai first, and you guys will wait for news at the dojo, Master." Feng Yi thought for a moment and said.
"Well, if there are too many people, it's easy to alert others, so go ahead."
Under A Ming's guidance, Feng Yi and the others soon found Painter Bai's residence.
Painter Bai's residence is not far from Fei Bao's previous home. It is very secluded and the surrounding area is dilapidated. There are very few pedestrians passing by. Even the dojo is more lively than here.
"The houses here are a little dilapidated. Many people who used to live in this area have moved away. The town is also considering re-planning and rebuilding." A Ming said.
Let me go, the real estate economy has taken off at this time?
Feng Yi silently complained in his heart, and then said: "Didn't I say that Painter Bai's paintings are very good and popular? I haven't seen many people come here."
"Painter Bai usually sleeps in the morning and paints in the afternoon." A Ming explained.
"oh…"
Feng Yi rubbed his nose in embarrassment and said, "You go ahead and do your work. The three of us will go in and take a look."
"Um."
A Ming thought for a while and said: "If Painter Bai isn't... pay attention to your attitude, don't do anything when you come up..."
"Okay, I'm not a violent man. I beat and kill everyone I meet." Feng Yi rolled his eyes at A Ming unhappily.
Accompanied by Qiu Sheng and Wen Cai, Feng Yi arrived at Painter Bai's house. He knocked on the door several times, but there was no response. He tried to push it open and found that the door was ajar, and looked at the two people behind him with tentative eyes.
The two of them gave me a look that said, "Okay, you choose yourselves very quickly. I will sell myself out at the critical moment."
Feng Yi shook his head and slowly pushed the door open, revealing a quiet and comfortable place.
The small courtyard appeared in front of the three people.
The yard is very clean, with green trees on both sides, ivy growing all over the wall, and small flowers of various colors planted in the corners, which makes people feel relaxed and happy.
Just when Feng Yi was hesitating whether to go in or not, a clear and gentle voice came from inside: "Since the guests are here, let's come in."
The three of them walked into the small courtyard and saw a man wearing a white robe and long black hair carrying them on his back to loosen the soil of a green bamboo tree. His movements were relaxed and carefree, and he was indescribably chic.
From the back, he is truly a distinguished person.
Feng Yi looked at the other person's long black hair with eager eyes and touched his head wearing a hat. Now there was only a short layer of down on his head. He didn't know when his hair would grow back...
"It's really rude to ask guests to wait at the door."
After loosening the soil, the man turned around and smiled at the three of them, but they were disappointed.
It is said that women like to look at beautiful women. In fact, men also admire truly otherworldly handsome men. But the problem is that the man in front of them looks too good.
