"Who the hell are you?" Dazhuganhu punched him again, but unfortunately Lin Sui'an grabbed his wrist again and pinned him down on the table, unable to move.
Lin Sui'an sighed, "Although I have never seen your appearance, and I don't know your name or where you live, but I know that you have never had any ill intentions towards me."
This sentence is from Lin Sui'an's heart, so it is said with great sincerity.
She had only had this feeling vaguely before, but as the big bamboo pole appeared again and again, the feeling became stronger and stronger. The sporadic information he had revealed before showed that he was from the same school as her, and he could always know her at the first time. We might as well make a bold guess about his whereabouts and current situation. There must be an extraordinary information network behind this person. There must be such a powerful person. If he really wants to rob Qianjing and Shijingji, there must be thousands of ways. How could he do it? Choose the stupid method of door-to-door robbery.
What's more, her sixth sense couldn't sense his danger.
So Lin Sui'an decided to take a gamble. Anyway, she had nothing now. She was not afraid of being barefoot and wearing shoes, and she was not afraid of losing the bet.
"My grandpa said that after his death, Qian Jing could take me to find my real relatives. At that time, the first one who came to look for Qian Jing was you." Lin Sui'an stared straight at the big bamboo pole, and as expected, nothing happened. Surprisingly, when he heard these words, his pupils shrank violently, which obviously touched his heart.
Lin Sui'an calmly observed Dazhugan's reaction: he needed Shijingji and Qianjing, and she needed the background information of the original owner and the news network behind him. The steps were already paved. All he had to do was get off the donkey along the slope and admit it. We have a history with her, put aside our past grudges, cooperate with her and share resources, it will be a win-win situation.
The big bamboo pole looked straight at Lin Sui'an, the moonlight outside the window melted into his pupils, and the water was rippling.
Lin Sui'an: It's done!
"You're still lying to me," Dazhugan fiercely pulled out his hand and sat across from him angrily, "You just want to make a deal with me."
Lin Sui'an smiled: "You can think so."
Dazhugan: "If you want to investigate Yan He's case, you need trustworthy ears and eyes."
Lin Sui'an: "If you want to learn the Kung Fu of Shi Jing Ji, I can consider teaching you."
"I want Qian Jing!"
"OK."
Dazhugan sat up straight, "You agreed?!"
"As long as you can beat me, Qian Jing will give it to you."
"As soon as I said it -"
"I lied to you that I was a puppy!"
Dazhugan stared at Lin Sui'an for a long time, and his body slowly relaxed, "If you want to find out information, you can go to the food stalls on the street and ask. If they recognize Qian Jing, they will tell you the information you want."
Lin Sui'an: "Where's the food stall?"
"Owned by Sixty-Seven Square."
Oh haha!
Lin Sui'an was overjoyed, his expression as steady as an old dog's, "Where's the code?"
Veins popped out of Dazhugan's forehead, "Don't you already know?!"
"Thousands of rivers and mountains are always filled with love. Holding a flower and smiling will purify the world - this sentence?" Lin Sui'an muttered, "It doesn't rhyme a bit..."
The big bamboo pole struck the table, climbed over the window and ran away.
"Hey, you haven't told me your name yet, at least show me your face -" Lin Sui'an's voice drifted into the night, only to receive a disdainful reply from Dazhugan.
"Don't you like investigating cases the most? If you have the ability, do it yourself!"
Lin Sui'an: "..."
Baby, just wait for me!
Lin Sui'an had a good sleep and had no dreams all night. When he got up, it was just dawn. He opened the door feeling refreshed and was so frightened by the pair of big eyes that he lost half of his blood.
Hua Yitang stood in front of the door wearing a sparkling green gown, with bright eyes and an energetic forehead, like a green onion swaying in the sun.
"Let's go around Liuyue Tower again."
This guy's thoughts coincided with hers again. Lin Sui'an found that he didn't seem so surprised anymore, nodded and said, "Let's go."
"The last places where Yan He and Bai Shun appeared were at Liuyue Tower. This must be a key location. I always feel like I've missed some clues."
Hua Yitang and Lin Sui'an walked side by side through the corridor. The maids they met along the way moved to both sides, carrying exquisite and small incense burners, which filled the place where they went with fragrance. Lin Sui'an endured and endured it, but when he walked out of the door, he finally couldn't bear it anymore and asked, "What are they doing?!"
Hua Yitang raised his eyebrows and smiled, posing. Mu Xia immediately stepped forward and hung a silver sachet ball on his waist, and explained by the way:
"What Shiro is wearing today is the new style sent by yesterday's clothing workshop: a fragrant shirt with fallen leaves, moonlight like training boots, a Milky Way fan in a pale sky, and a matching curled hosta. It's too early to go out today, and the incense is not enough yet, so incense more Every point counts.”
Hua Yitang walked around twice and boarded the bus with satisfaction. There were eight plates of colorful snacks on the small table in the car. Lin Sui'an was familiar with them once and twice, so he grabbed two and opened his mouth to nibble. The carriage ran very fast, and the sweetness of the pastries combined with the fragrance of Hua Yitang. The smoke made Lin Sui'an feel a little carsick.
"You——" Lin Sui'an struggled with his words, "Do you want such a delicious fragrance every day?"
Hua Yitang: "I am the number one dandy in Yangdu. Wouldn't it be rude if I couldn't surpass all the heroes with my skills and wealth, and my beauty with fragrance?"
Lin Sui'an: "..."
I really can't understand this person's brain circuit.
"Ah, that's not what I meant." Hua Yitang said hurriedly, "Lin Sui'an, whether you are incense or not, you smell good and will not be rude."
Lin Sui'an smelled his arm inexplicably and smelled nothing.
Hua Yitang was startled: "I didn't smell your scent on purpose, I just inadvertently, occasionally, unconsciously... Ah, I'm not a slut, and I didn't mean that. After all, you are so powerful, I don't dare to—— Ahhhh, I'm not saying you're not beautiful, you look particularly good when fighting...Ahhhhh! I'm sorry, just pretend you didn't hear anything."
Hua Yitang blushed because of what he said. Seeing Lin Sui'an's face full of surprise, he opened the fan silently, covered his face and thought about his fault. The aroma in the car condensed into the word "embarrassing", and the car body shook and broke into pieces. All over the floor.
Lin Sui'an tried not to laugh.
Mu Xia was worthy of being Hua Yitang's confidant. She stopped the car at the right time, raised the curtain and said, "Silang, Liuyue Tower is here."
Hua Yitang jumped out like a gust of wind, and when he got out of the car, he saw Yangdu's number one dandy again, "How is it?"
Mu Xia: "There are few shops around Chongyanfang, so I can't find any useful clues."
Hua Yitang looked at the vendors in the street, "Where are they?"
Mu Xia: "Have you ever heard of Jingmen, Shiro?"
Hua Yitang: "What door?"
Lin Sui'an's ears perked up.
"Thirty years ago, a rather mysterious sect appeared in the Tang Dynasty. Its members were all street vendors, salesmen, etc. There were so many people and branches all over the country that no news in the world could escape them. Eyes and ears, but then, for some unknown reason, he suddenly disappeared without warning.”
Hua Yitang: "You mean the Jingmen still exists?"
"When I asked these small vendors before, their reactions were extremely vigilant, and their answers all used the same rhetoric. They couldn't get any information at all, which was quite strange." Mu Xia lowered her voice, "After reporting back to Duke Mu, Duke Mu thought of Jing. I have come here specifically to remind you of the legend of the sect. These people make a living by selling information and act somewhere between black and white. I asked Shiro to be careful when coming into contact with them."
Hearing this, Lin Sui'an was speechless.
Qianjing, Shijingji, Jingmen - even the connecting codes have the word "purify the worldly world". The founder of this Jingmen either has a low cultural level or is a bad name.
"Interesting," Hua Yitang took out a bag of gold leaves and bumped them in his hand, "I'll try it."
"Wait a minute." Lin Sui'an stopped him. "If it is true as Duke Mu said, this Jingmen has been dormant in Yangdu for many years. The number of people is so large that it is unfathomable. It is really dangerous for you to go forward rashly." Lin Sui'an spread his hands and motioned to Hua Yitang. He gave her the gold leaf and said, "I'll go. You stay away. If something goes wrong, evacuate immediately."
Hua Yitang was moved: "Lin Sui'an, you are such a kind person."
Even Mu Xia had a look of admiration on her face.
Lin Sui'an carried the heavy gold leaves and happily walked into the street. He went straight to the Hu cake stall where he asked yesterday. The stall owner was still the Hu man uncle yesterday. When he saw Lin Sui'an, his expression changed drastically, and just as he was about to shout, Lin Sui'an raised Qian Jing in front of his eyes.
Uncle Hu Ren's eyes flashed and he lowered his voice, "There is always love in thousands of rivers and mountains."
Lin Sui'an: "Pick a flower and smile to purify the world."
Uncle Hu Ren was overjoyed and asked Lin Sui'an to sit down at the stall. He quickly made a few dazzling gestures with his hands in front of his chest. Several stall owners nearby immediately gathered around Lin Sui'an, one selling buns and the other selling buns. Among the steamed pancake vendors, one sells bilo and the other sells mutton soup. The flavors are quite complete.
Uncle Hu: "What do you want to ask, sir?"
Lin Sui'an: "Do you know about Yan He's case?"
Several people nodded at the same time.
The owner of the bun stall said: "The day before yesterday at the third quarter of the lunar month, Yan He rode a carriage into Chongyanfang and entered Liuyue Tower. In less than half an hour, Bai Shun came on foot and entered Liuyue Tower. After a stick of incense, The two left in Yan He's carriage."
Lin Sui'an: "Where did their carriage go?"
"Crossing the Kaiming Bridge and the Second Middle Bridge of the Third Nan Bridge, passing through Hongzhuangfang and Xifengfang, and entering Dongxinfang, I lost track of it."
"There are many empty houses in the warehouses of Yuezhong, Nanchun, Yulou and Nancanjifang on the south side of Dongxinfang. The paths are complicated and it is difficult to determine whereabouts."
Could it be said that the scene of the first crime was in this fourth square? No, it's possible that the murderer deliberately took a detour. Lin Sui'an thought about it and asked, "Have you ever seen Bai Shun after Yan He died?"
Everyone shook their heads.
"Have you ever seen the Bai family's carriage?"
The owner of the Bi Luo stall hesitated and glanced at Uncle Hu. The uncle nodded slightly before he continued, "Actually, I saw a carriage entering Chongyanfang in the early days of Mao. Although the driver of the carriage was The horses and body decoration are different, but the rut marks are very similar to the Bai family carriage."
"What?!" Lin Sui'an was shocked, "Why didn't you tell me earlier?!"
"You didn't even ask!"
Lin Sui'an jumped up and said, "Take me there quickly!"
Several stall owners stood motionless, looking at Lin Sui'an and smiling.
Lin Sui'an was angry: "Let's go!"
"Every line has its own rules," said the barbarian uncle. "One question is worth a dagger, and you just asked four questions."
Lin Sui'an almost vomited blood. Relationships were a chargeable item, but Dazhugan didn't tell her!
Lin Sui'an didn't know how much a piece of gold leaf was worth, but in concept it was definitely more than four ounces of money. Lin Sui'an immediately took out his four ounces of money and threw it over, but the people still didn't move, still looking at her and smiling.
"Leading the way is another price."
Lin Sui'an gritted his teeth: "How much?"
Uncle Hu: "A golden leaf."
Anyway, it’s none of her business to spend Yitang’s money!
Lin Sui'an took out a gold leaf and flew it over.
The owner of Biro stall is not tall, but he is very fast. He bends his waist and moves in small steps, observing the ruts on the ground while running. The ruts on the ground are numerous and messy, but he can accurately identify the ruts that belong to the Bai family. The horse-drawn carriage turned left and right along the streets and alleys, with Lin Sui'an and Hua Yitang following behind, spinning dizzy.
"It should be this car." The owner of Biro's stall said as he stopped beside a carriage.
Lin Sui'an then discovered that they turned around and turned into a back alley. There were six carriages parked in the alley, five of them were flat carts with large baskets of fresh fruits and vegetables piled on them. Only one was a carriage with a carriage. The vegetable farmers carrying vegetables came and went, looking at them with surprised eyes.
Hua Yitang looked up and clicked his tongue.
The back alley is adjacent to a courtyard, and you can see the three-story eaves of Liuyue Building. This is obviously the back door of Liuyue Building.
Lin Sui'an lifted the car curtain to check. There was no one in the car, and the driver was not there. He found a small piece of rag under the car seat, dyed black and red, and smelled like blood.
"This material..." Hua Yitang rubbed it for a moment, "It looks like what Bai Shun usually wears." He grabbed a vegetable farmer, "Where are the people in the car?"
The vegetable farmer shook his head: "I just came here and didn't see it."
"I went in carrying two big bags of meat," another vegetable farmer passed by carrying a vegetable basket. "The meat is very fresh, and one of the bags is still dripping with blood."
Lin Sui'an and Hua Yitang's expressions changed greatly, and they went straight to the kitchen. This was the most chaotic time in the kitchen. Vegetable farmers, butchers, and fishmongers crowded the already small backyard, and the chef shouted at the top of his voice. The young apprentices put the river fish into the pond, the accountant was busy settling the vegetable bills, and the clerks were busy transporting the vegetables. The floor was covered with rotten vegetable leaves and fish scales that had not been cleaned up in time, making it slippery and greasy to step on.
Hua Yitang and Lin Sui'an, two strangers, rashly barged in. Everyone in the kitchen was stunned and stared at the two of them. The accountant had seen the big scene and recognized Hua Yitang.
"Shiro Kaiya, what are you—"
"Where is the meat that was just delivered?" Hua Yitang shouted.
The cashier pointed to the kitchen blankly, and Lin Sui'an rushed in quickly. He saw the cook was about to untie the bloody sack, and his hair stood on end. He shouted sternly, "Don't touch it!"
The cook was startled, and before he could recover, he was pulled out by Lin Sui'an. The bulging blood sacks were piled on the meat chopping table, sizzling with blood.
Lin Sui'an's heart was pounding. The worst-case scenario was that Bai Shun was in the sack. Looking at this look, could it be that his body had been cut into pieces?
"Where is the person who delivered the meat?" Lin Sui'an asked.
Everyone shook their heads. At this time, there were so many people and no one paid attention.
Hua Yitang huddled outside the door, covering most of his face with his fan, leaving only half of his eyes exposed, looking at him tremblingly.
Suddenly, the blood sack moved, and the hemp rope binding the mouth snapped. Lin Sui'an's hair stood on end, and he took two steps back to the door. The contents of the sack twitched and slowly slipped out.
Hua Yitang screamed, wrapped his arms around Lin Sui'an and carried her out. Then with a pop, a bloody mass slipped out of the sack and fell to the ground.
It was a freshly slaughtered lamb, its eyes wide open and its muscles still twitching.
Lin Sui'an felt his arms around his waist loosen, and his feet fell to the ground. When he looked at Hua Yitang again, he was so scared that he collapsed on the ground, his face was pale and he was sweating profusely.
A false alarm. Lin Sui'an breathed a sigh of relief and felt that his legs were a little weak.
The accountant stepped forward hesitantly, "Shiro Huajia, why are you here -"
"...I have nothing to do for a stroll." Hua Yitang stood up several times with his hands on the ground. Lin Sui'an couldn't stand it any longer, so he grabbed his neck and lifted him up.
The two looked at each other silently, both feeling a little embarrassed. They walked out dejectedly despite everyone's burning gazes. The backyard was disturbed by them. It was so quiet that you could hear a pin drop, and you could faintly hear the noise in the front yard.
"Didn't you pay just now? Why are you asking for money again?"
"I just arrived, how can I collect money?"
"You had an apprentice come half an hour ago, repaired the attic, and collected the remaining payment of three ounces of money!"
Lin Sui'an and Hua Yitang paused at the same time and looked at each other.
Lin Sui'an: "No way."
Hua Yitang: "No way..."
The two of them turned around and walked back to the front yard at the same time. Everyone in the kitchen was confused by these two people. However, because Shiro Huajia was famous, no one dared to stop them and let them go.
In the front yard, the shopkeeper was having a red-faced argument with an old bricklayer. The old bricklayer was honest and honest. When he saw Hua Yitang's clothes, he clasped his fists and said, "I've seen Huajia Silang."
"Aren't you the one repairing the attic today?" Hua Yitang asked.
Shopkeeper: "That man said he was your new apprentice, and he charged me three ounces of money!"
"I have no apprentice," the craftsman said. "There must be someone pretending to be one. Otherwise, shopkeeper, please ask me to go up and have a look. Don't make any mistakes and damage my sign."
Shopkeeper: "What, you still want to charge another amount?"
"I won't take your money, that's all!" the craftsman said angrily.
The leaking attic was right above the wing room of Hua Yitang and Lin Sui'an yesterday. It was said to be an attic, but in fact it was just the roof and the insulation layer of the wing room on the top floor. It was extremely humid and hot. No one went there on weekdays. There was only a narrow path. There was a wooden ladder leading up to it, and the craftsman climbed up and pushed the door open for a long time.
Hua Yitang walked around twice under the stairs and found a small piece of twine on the ground. "It seems to have fallen off the sack." He smelled it again, "It smells like fish, and it's still wet."
There were fish scales all over the floor in the back kitchen of Liuyuelou, and there was a fishy smell everywhere. This was probably left by the murderer carrying sacks.
Lin Sui'an exhaled, called the craftsman down, and climbed up the stairs. Hua Yitang followed him, but Lin Sui'an glared at him and said plausibly, "More people, more care."
Lin Sui'an: "..."
Damn it, this guy is too timid to stay alone down there.
The door panel of the attic was of normal height, but a little narrower. Lin Sui'an pushed it, but it didn't open, and suddenly slapped it with his palm.
The narrow door opened with a bang, and at the same time, there was a "clang" sound inside, as if something heavy fell to the ground. There was only one narrow window in the attic, and the window lattice was broken. The hemp rope extends from the door to the window, as if something is hanging.
There were screams outside the building.
Lin Sui Anxin said something was wrong, and Hua Yitang rushed in. The two of them lay on the window and looked out. They saw a huge "bacon" wrapped in torn cloth hanging under the rope, shaking violently, and the sun fell on it. Above, the shape of the bacon is clearly shown.
It was a bloody, headless corpse.
Lin Sui'an's stomach was churning violently, and Hua Yitang turned his head and vomited.
The sound of messy footsteps hit the stairs and the floor. A group of bad guys rushed to the attic door. The leader of the bad guys put a knife to Mu Xia's neck and stood outside the door and shouted:
"Huajia Silang, Lin Sui'an, the evidence of your crime of murder and hiding corpses is conclusive, why don't you just arrest them without hesitation?!":,,
