Lin Sui'an held Qian Jing and stood at the door of Shuangyeju's room in Qiuyuan Guest House, watching Hua Yitang slowly pacing in the room, shaking her fan. The case had just been solved last night, and the shopkeeper hadn't had time to clean up. The scene was still in the same state as when they left, especially the wooden bed, which was so heavy that it took three people to move it. It still stood alone in the center of the room.
Fang Ke said he wanted to catch up on his sleep and refused to go out. Jin Ruo followed him, but after a brief walk around twice, he said he wanted to go out to relax. In the blink of an eye, he was gone.
In the end, only Lin Sui'an and Hua Yitang were left.
In fact, Lin Sui'an felt that they deliberately left a space for her and Hua Yitang to be alone. Of course, it was not for any ambiguous reason, but because from the beginning of Shuixie, she had an indescribable murderous intention. ——These two guys probably felt that they couldn't afford to offend him, so they used Hua Yitang as a shield.
It must be said that their intuition is very accurate.
Lin Sui'an discovered very early that when she was with Hua Yitang, it was easier to suppress her murderous intention, or to put it another way, her body seemed to have a natural affinity for Hua Yitang—— Lin Sui'an scratched his forehead in embarrassment, feeling that this matter should not be taken seriously - but this time the killing intention was different from the bloodthirsty killing intention in the previous battles. As time went by, not only did it not weaken, but it actually strengthened. Momentum, this is a feeling that is difficult to describe, as if something sleeping deep in my heart has been awakened, and I never want to close my eyes again.
Qian Jing was affected and made a low hum in her arms, which made her heart throb and hurt.
It's such a long-lost feeling, Lin Sui'an said, the moment she first crossed over into this body, she was so heartbroken. Lin Sui'an had a feeling that this should be a memory from deep inside the body. Could it be that this murderous intention was related to the cause of death of the original owner?
It seemed that she didn't know enough about this body.
What's even stranger is Hua Yitang.
He didn't say a word all the way from the other hospital. He looked completely different from his usual chatty self. He was squatting on the bedside, staring at the two death messages in silence for a long time, and then suddenly said, "Actually, I was a child." I have seen the current Holy One before."
Lin Sui'an: "Huh?"
"At that time, she had just ascended the throne and was only nineteen years old. She was wearing the simplest skirt and had only a white jade hairpin on her head. She smiled and gave me a little candy man." Hua Yitang's voice was very soft and very soft. Rou, as if his memories were brought to Lin Sui'an's eyes through distant time, "Since that day, the Hua family, which was almost in decline, has become a 'unique, business-based' Hua family."
There was a "boom" in Lin Sui'an's mind, and any murderous intention of Lao Shizi was shaken away by this bombshell news.
All the seemingly reasonable and unreasonable questions have answers.
The Hua family who is extremely wealthy, the maverick Hua family, the Hua family who is rising rapidly, the Hua family who is famous overseas, the Hua family who is arrogant and hateful everywhere, why is it the Hua family, why is it only the Hua family - because The Hua family is not just the Hua family, but the Hua family of the saints, or in other words, the Hua family of the Tang Dynasty.
Good guy! Is this something she can hear? !
Lin Sui'an immediately held his breath and listened carefully. It was very good. There was no one around, so it was safe here. After confirming this, she breathed a sigh of relief, walked quickly to Hua Yitang, picked him up, raised her head and stared at his face, lowered her voice, "Hua Yitang, you know what you are talking about. ?!"
Hua Yitang looked at her with his bright eyes and smiled softly, "Besides eldest brother, second sister, third sister and me, you are the only one who knows the relationship."
Lin Sui'an: "You still say that!"
Hua Yitang's smile gradually disappeared, "Although I said it was beautiful, I only put the glory of the Hua family first."
Lin Sui'an's eyes widened, Hua Yitang lowered his eyelashes, a layer of red mist covered the corners of his eyes, and his lips turned white, "Tell me, am I the same person as them?"
Lin Sui'an's heart was beating wildly. At this moment, she seemed to see an emotion deep in Hua Yitang's eyes that could never appear in him -
Good guy!
She must have not slept well yesterday, and her eyeballs were covered with eye droppings. Lin Sui'an quickly closed his eyes. Sure enough, when he opened his eyes again, the emotion in his eyes had long disappeared, but his pupils became darker. Unpredictable.
As expected, he is a kid in the second grade of high school, and his mood is too unstable.
"Hua Yitang, who do you think you are? Saint Kong? Do you still want to save the common people?!" Lin Sui'an tapped Hua Yitang's shoulder with his knuckles, "You are a dandy, be yourself , thank God if it doesn’t harm others.”
Hua Yitang's eyelashes trembled slightly, and two groups of light gradually appeared in his pupils, reflecting Lin Sui'an's disgusted face, and murmured, "You mean - if you know how to do good deeds, don't cross others -?"
Lin Sui'an: "..."
Your ability to understand is amazing.
Hua Yitang smiled suddenly, showing his shining white teeth, and imitated Lin Sui'an's actions and tapped her shoulder with his fan, "Same for you."
After that, he squatted down and continued to study the two death messages.
Lin Sui'an was stunned for a long time before he realized: Could it be that he deliberately put on a pitiful look in order for her to comfort him and enlighten him at the same time?
Alas! This guess suddenly made Lin Sui'an red-hot inside and out.
"Perhaps, we all guessed wrong," Hua Yitang traced the two strokes in the air with his fingers. "The last thing Shan Yuanming wrote was not the murderer's name, but a location."
Lin Sui'an raised his robe and squatted down, "Is it the name of the place?"
Hua Yitang shook his head, "Look carefully, the strokes of these two strokes are from right to left, which is exactly the opposite of the writing strokes."
Lin Sui'an took a quick look, and sure enough, after a night of precipitation, the color and intensity of the blood stains became clearer, with the right side being darker than the left.
Lin Sui'an: "He is not writing, but painting."
Hua Yitang's fingers slowly extended along the inclined angle of the two strokes, and finally the two strokes merged into one place, forming an acute-angled symbol, like an arrow indicating the direction.
Lin Sui'an and Hua Yitang looked at each other. Hua Yitang immediately took a few steps back. Lin Sui'an held the head of the bed with both hands, lifted the entire bed towards the west wall with a breath, and Hua Yitang stepped forward and stared at it. The footprints on the bed indicate the direction, "One inch to the left, half an inch forward, too much, one inch back, put it down!"
The big wooden bed was firmly placed in its original position, and the four legs of the bed fit perfectly with the marks on the floor. Now look at the "arrow", which is slightly upward, pointing to the clothes hanger in front of the west window.
There were two pieces of daily clothes hanging on the hangers. Hua Yitang grabbed them and shook them, but nothing came out.
Could it be that the arrow points not to the hanger but to the window?
Lin Sui'an walked around to the west window, opened the sash and scanned it up, down, left and right.
The circle was very clean, with no special marks. She jumped out the window again and inspected the base of the house wall and the exterior wall, but still found nothing. She turned back to the house and found that Hua Yitang looked like a guinea pig getting into the closet and rummaging around. Shan Yuanming's few clothes were turned over all over the floor.
Lin Sui'an: "Have you found anything?"
Hua Yitang exited the closet and said, "Most of Shan Yuanming's clothes are newly bought, and they are all top quality from Hua's Clothing Store. The two pieces on the hangers are still the latest and most popular styles," he shook the one on his hand. Among the clothes that had just been dug out, "Only this one is an old one. The cutting and stitching are not very fine. He should have cut and sewn it himself."
Lin Sui'an touched his chin: "Does he have any meaning behind leaving this old clothes?"
Hua Yitang didn't answer. He rubbed his fingers carefully along the collar, cuffs, and corners of his clothes. Suddenly, he lifted up the left cuff, twisted it with his thumb and index finger, bit the line of the cuff with his upper teeth, and pulled it apart. He took out a folded piece of paper from the folded fabric at the cuff and carefully unfolded it, which turned out to be a bill.
Good guy, this Shan Yuanming is really good at hiding things.
Lin Sui'an hurriedly stepped forward and found that it was a pawn ticket called "Xifeng Dangxing", with the address "No. 37, Yong'an Street, Beiqu, Xicheng City", and the date of pawn being "the third day of October in the eighth year of Xuanfeng". The product name column is blank.
The two of them were overjoyed. The item Shan Yuanming kept in the pawn shop was probably the scroll indicated by Goldfinger. They immediately went out. Outside the door, Mu Xia had been waiting for a long time in a carriage. He drove the two of them out of Yongtai Square and headed straight for West Market.
West Market is located in the southwest corner of Dongdu City, adjacent to Houzaimen in the south. It is the most convenient transportation among the three cities in Dongdu City. It mainly deals in bulk goods transactions and is equivalent to a modern large-scale wholesale market. Among them, most of them are merchants of Hu people and Persians. Because it was the end of the year and the number of caravans coming and going was at its peak at the end of the year, traffic jams started outside Chunhua Square. Hua Yitang and Lin Sui'an had to abandon the carriage and walk instead.
The avenue, which could carry eight carriages simultaneously, was crowded with camels, horses, goods, and convoys. In this situation, no matter whether they were extremely wealthy or extremely powerful, they all just queued up and moved forward slowly.
The sun is very bright, and the camel hair is like yellow dandelions flying in the sky, which makes people's noses itch. You have to be extremely careful when stepping on your feet. If you are not careful, you may step on wet camel dung. A man wearing a felt hat leads you. Camel, chatting in retrograde Tang dialect, mixed with unintelligible foreign languages. For the first time since Lin Sui'an came to this world, she felt that her height was a bit tragic. Looking around, there were endless mountains all around. The humps and tall barbarians could not see the way forward at all. The strong smell of spices, the grassy smell of herbivores, and the damp smell of feces combined to make her almost cry.
At this time, the fragrant dude next to him really played a big role. It was like a large walking aromatherapy air purifier. Lin Sui'an walked towards it unconsciously, getting closer and closer. Hua Yitang The fragrant breeze blowing from the small fan made Lin Sui'an feel very comfortable. He thought to himself that he would never complain about Hua Yitang's love for being stinky in the future. This stinky outfit was still very useful at critical moments.
But gradually, Hua Yitang's fan shook slower and slower, and the route became more and more crooked. Just as his head was about to hit the hump of a camel, Lin Sui'an quickly grabbed him back, but saw Hua Yitang. Tang rubbed his neck and turned his head to the other side. His neck and ears were all red.
Lin Sui'an was surprised: "Why is your face so red?"
Hua Yitang's eyes wandered wildly, "I'm allergic to camel hair."
"Oh." Lin Sui'an suppressed a smile and distanced himself from him calmly.
The most handsome man in Yangdu is so thin-skinned.
But she moved away, and Hua Yitang came closer instead. The fan in his hand was moved lower. It was originally on his chest, but now it was placed under Lin Sui'an's shoulder. The frequency of shaking also increased. It was obvious that it was Dedicated service to Lin Sui'an.
Lin Sui'an was even happier, "When I get back, I'll ask Mu Xia to give me two sachet balls to hang."
Hua Yitang: "It's very cumbersome to hang these sachet balls on your body. It's inconvenient when fighting with others. If you like the smell, I'll just hang two more."
Lin Sui'an couldn't laugh or cry: "Am I going to hang you on my body?"
"Okay."
Lin Sui'an paused and suddenly raised his head.
Hua Yitang stopped fanning, and stared forward with his round eyes, as if he suddenly realized what he had just said, his Adam's apple moved twice quickly, "I, we are partners, we will live and die together, and we will never leave, so naturally we have to inseparable."
Lin Sui'an was helpless and thought to himself: Why does this partner have more and more additional conditions?
The team in front gradually moved faster. The West Market Gate was in front of them. The two of them were swept into the West Market by the crowd. Suddenly, their eyes opened up. The four tic-shaped avenues successfully dispersed the caravan. The two relaxed. After entering Yong'an Street in Beiqu, follow the road signs. No. 37 Xifeng Dang Store is sandwiched between two rice stores. Compared with the neighboring stores, there are almost no customers. There is a wooden sign "Store For Sale" hanging at the door, and there is only one person at the counter. The dozing guy looks like he's about to go out of business.
Hua Yitang slapped the pawn ticket on the counter. The clerk opened his eyes, looked at it, and asked, "This is the token, where is the token?"
Hua Yitang immediately understood what he was asking and handed over the copper key. The clerk rummaged through a wooden box from the cabinet under the counter. He also took out a rubbing of the key from the wooden box and compared it with the copper key to confirm that it was correct. Finally, he returned the key to Hua Yitang, turned around and entered the inner warehouse. After about half a cup of tea, he came out holding a wooden box.
Lin Sui'an's eyes lit up, it was the wooden box in Golden Finger.
The two moved the wooden box to the wall, covered it with their bodies, and used the key to open the copper lock. The scroll titled "The Flower Blooms Can Be Broken Straightly Must Be Broken" lay safely inside. Hua Yitang took out the scroll. The book opened with a swish. It was a scroll book made with the dragon scale binding method. The colorful pages flew up like fish scales. The front pages were a little yellow, and the back gradually turned white. Except for a small amount of Apart from the handwriting, they are all transformed into one piece after another, and they seem to be line drawings of figures——
Lin Sui'an was about to take a closer look, but Hua Yitang suddenly put his hands together and quickly put the entire book away.
"I haven't seen it clearly yet -" Lin Sui'an was halfway through his words when he noticed that Hua Yitang's face turned purple and was shocked, "Could this book be poisonous?!"
Hua Yitang stuffed the scroll back into the box and whispered, "Go back to the other courtyard quickly."
Only then did Lin Sui'an see clearly that Hua Yitang's face turned into such a strange color because of the rapid surge of blood. To use a popular saying, it is "red with black, purple with green".
The most handsome man in Yangdu has never seen such a big scene. To have such a face, it is obvious that the contents of this book are not trivial. Lin Sui'an did not dare to neglect, and immediately protected Hua Yitang when he went out, but as soon as he stepped out of the threshold, a He suddenly felt a cold light coming from the front. Lin Sui'an grabbed Hua Yitang's belt and threw him into the door. He flew out and drew his sword to greet him. Thousands of pure green light passed through his eyes and hacked away a man in black.
At some point, six masked men in black appeared outside the door. They all gathered around the pawn shop. Lin Sui'an squinted her eyes. She found that the weapons of these men in black were all black weapons that were two feet long and three fingers wide. Apart from the color of the blade, the shape of the Heng Dao is almost exactly the same as Qian Jing's. :,,
