Lin Sui'an leaned on the sofa, one hand on the soft cushion, squinting his eyes slightly, enjoying the rare leisure time.
Jin Ruo returned to Dongdu Jingmen to do the aftermath work, and Wan Lin sent several frightened children of the aristocratic family home. Of course, Hua Yitang would not miss this opportunity to show courtesy and volunteered to see Jiang Qiniang back. Ling Zhiyan accompanied him to escort her, so Lin Sui An became the bodyguard who pressed the ship again.
The wind of Yunshui River gently caressed the cheeks. The sun was occasionally blocked by clouds, and occasionally slipped out. It was like a huge paintbrush brushing hazy and bright golden beams in the air. The graceful arc of the boat's hull shone with light. , the high-raised stern of the boat drew leisurely patterns on the water.
Fang was dealing with the wounds on her body. It must be said that the skills of professional doctors were different. Their movements were capable and quick, but it was a little...hiss...a bit painful.
Jiang Qiniang's laughter could be heard from time to time, and of course Hua Yitang's compliments were indispensable during this period.
"I didn't expect that you kid would actually think of asking the cargo ship at Yunshuihe Wharf to help you put on a show."
"It's just a little plan to prepare for a rainy day. To be able to win such ridiculous praise from Jiang Qiniang, the entire Hua family will be honored!"
"You really deserve to be Hua Yihuan's younger brother, just like him, you have eight hundred thoughts.
"What Jiang Qiniang said is true! Tomorrow I will order a gold-lettered plaque with the words 'Eight Hundred Minds' written on it and hang it in the main hall of the other courtyard to thank Jiang Qiniang for her words!"
"...You are too thick-skinned."
"Jiang Qiniang is indeed very discerning, and her shamelessness is something I brought from her mother's womb!"
"puff!"
Fang Ke snorted in his nose, and his method of applying the medicine suddenly became three points more violent. Lin Sui'an took a breath of cold air, "Brother Fang, calm down, calm down."
Fang Ke: "Where is Yun Zhongyue's whole body as promised?"
Lin Sui'an: "Ahem, I accidentally let him run away."
Fang Ke rolled his eyes, finished bandaging three times, and squeezed the bandage with both hands. Lin Sui'an's eyes almost flew out of the pain. Ling Zhiyan, who was next to her, silently covered the wound on her arm and moved her butt out one by one, as if she wanted to escape, but before she could move even a foot away, Fang Ke grabbed her back, tore off her sleeves twice, and grabbed her. The medicine for sores was sprinkled indiscriminately, with that technique, that frequency, that speed, no matter how you look at it, it was the true biography of the roast mutton chef of Hu Ren Restaurant in Xishi.
Ling Zhiyan's mouth turned white in pain, and she eagerly sent a distress signal to Lin Sui'an. Lin Sui'an calmly looked away and could only pretend not to see it. The moment was like a powder keg, ready to explode. She finally escaped safely from the hands of those men in black, but she didn't want to end up here inexplicably.
According to Yita's narrative, Lin Sui'an Lianchai and Meng Fu recounted Fang Ke's whole day's itinerary. From Fang Ke's perspective, today was simply a day of calamity.
At three o'clock in the morning, Fang Ke got up and found that the other courtyard was empty. No one was missing except for Eta. After two rounds of dancing, you came to sign and I guessed, Fang Ke got a rough idea.
This group of people actually left him and went to attend the appointment at Dongdu Jingmen together, and no one even asked him to get up.
Well, it must be a tough battle to go here. He doesn't know martial arts, so it won't be of much use if he goes there. He might as well be looking after the family in another courtyard. Unexpectedly, Eta danced on the side and explained, after three rounds of you doing the drawings and me guessing, Fang Ke understood again.
Before leaving, Hua Yitang told Ita that Fang Ke had worked hard for many days and had great achievements. He specially invited him to go on a river cruise in Yunshui River to enjoy the scenery. Hua's boat had been waiting for a long time, and he could take everyone home along the way.
It was hard to refuse such a warm welcome, so Fang Ke had no choice but to go. But as soon as the boat entered the water boundary of Yunshui River, he saw hundreds of cargo ships chasing them aggressively. The sailors on the ship were filled with indignation, furious, and cursed loudly.
Fang Ke was confused, and it took him a long time to understand. It turned out that Hua Yitang bought one hundred and seventy-eight shipments of goods the day before, and only paid a deposit. He claimed that he would send someone to Yunshuihe Wharf to pay the deposit at three o'clock today. However, the crew waited all morning. Not only did they not get the final payment, they also saw Hua's team blatantly wandering past the embankment. They sailed and followed them and shouted for a long time, but Hua completely ignored them (Lin Sui'an suddenly realized : It turns out that those crew members were not joining in the fun, but collecting debts.) When he was furious, he happened to see Fang Ke and Yita arriving on Hua's boat, so all the old grudges were projected onto Fang Ke. Engraved on the body.
It’s a pity that Fang Ke thought he was here for a vacation, but unexpectedly he was taken advantage of for no apparent reason. Of course he couldn’t afford the thousands of gold payment, and no one listened to his explanation. He almost had the boat dismantled by the grumpy sailors and thrown into the river to feed the fish. They can only make a desperate escape in the direction of Bailu Island and catch Hua Yitang to pay the bill. Fortunately, he became the leader of the mighty debt collection fleet, and by chance, he solved the urgent need of Lin Sui'an and others.
"So, is Shiro making a mistake or-" Ling Zhiyan glanced at Fang Ji after bandaging, and lowered her voice and asked Lin Sui'an, "Has he already had a plan?"
Lin Sui'an: "..."
A man's heart is like a needle in the sea. Now it is better for her to say less and protect herself wisely.
Fang Ke snorted, carrying the medicine box, striding over to Hua Yitang and sitting down next to him. Hua Yitang was flattering Jiang Qiniang enthusiastically. Seeing Fang Ke's posture, he couldn't help but be startled, "Doctor Fang, what are you doing? ——”
Fang Ke couldn't help but grabbed Hua Yitang's right hand, pulled off the silk handkerchief that tied Hua Yitang's wound, and poured half a bottle of golden sore medicine on it.
"Ouch——"
Hua Yitang's unexpected scream was like a big broom with exploding feathers, sweeping all the waterbirds on the Yunshui River into the sky. The flapping sound of their wings was like someone being slapped in the face.
Lin Sui'an and Ling Zhiyan hid far away, shrinking their necks, with the same miserable expressions.
The expressionless Fang Ke severely twisted Hua Yitang's hand into a rice dumpling. Due to Jiang Qiniang's presence, Hua Yitang only dared to shout once, and swallowed the rest of his screams hard, suppressing the scream. Tearful and pitiful.
Jiang Qiniang couldn't bear it anymore, "Huasilang, your medical officer's methods are a bit... crude and crazy..."
"I'm not a doctor, I'm a doctor." Fang Ke raised his eyelids, his dark pupils facing Hua Yitang's red eyes, "Everyone under my hands is dead."
With these words, the temperature around him plummeted, and Lin Sui'an got goosebumps all over his body. Hua Yitang smiled dryly with a stiff face, and was about to smooth things over. At this moment, there was a thud at the stern of the boat, as if it hit something.
Immediately afterwards, the boatman at the stern screamed, "No! We hit someone!"
To be precise, he didn't hit a person, but a dead person.
Lin Sui'an looked up to the sky and sighed, feeling helpless: Hua Yitang's detective physique buff had indeed been activated again.
Lying on the deck is a female corpse, barefoot, wearing a brown half-armor on the upper body and a bright red pomegranate skirt on the lower body. It is the most popular accessory for women in the East. She looks about seventeen or eighteen years old. The bun was slightly loose and no hair accessories were visible.
The corpse should not have been soaked in the water for a long time, and swelling has not yet appeared. The sun passed over the naked skin of the corpse, giving off a faint peach-pink luster, giving people a special feeling - this corpse is very beautiful. .
Lin Sui'an immediately remembered the strange case that Ling Zhiyan had mentioned before: a corpse was found in Yishuiqu. Because the body was in a strange state, there were also rumors that evil spirits were causing trouble in Dongdu.
Ling Zhiyan had obviously thought of it. She raised her robe and knelt down to observe the body carefully for a moment. She frowned and stepped back, asking Fang Ke to step forward.
After working hard all day, I finally saw a serious corpse. The face on the coffin was obviously brighter. She started to examine the body. Jiang Qiniang stood aside with her hands behind her back and observed. She frowned and asked Ling Zhiyan: "I remember the last time?" Among the cases reported by Yuedali Temple, there are three cases of corpses sinking in ditches that have not yet been solved."
Ling Zhiyan: "Yes."
"Does Ling Si always think that this corpse is related to those three cases?"
"Ling is not responsible for the corpse sinking case. Ling has never read the case and dare not speak nonsense."
Jiang Qiniang glanced at Ling Zhiyan in surprise, "Old Chen actually left a crime-solving prodigy like you unused. Did he get kicked in the head by a donkey?"
"Cough cough cough!" Ling Zhiyan almost choked to death on her saliva.
Hua Yitang slowly added insult to injury, "Jiang Qiniang really hit the nail on the head."
Jiang Qiniang touched her chin, "I heard that it took you less than six hours to solve Jiang Dongyi's murder case and defeat Jiang's Jin Yuwei?"
Ling Zhiyan clasped her fists hurriedly: "It is the credit of Huashiro and others to solve the case. Ling dare not take the credit."
Hua Yitang: "The one who challenges Jin Yuwei is Mrs. Lin. I am a dandy who can't carry it on my shoulders and lift it with my hands, but I don't have such ability."
Jiang Qiniang nodded, her eyes first turned around Hua Yitang, then fell on Lin Sui'an, and murmured, "Indeed, after seeing him today, he is well-deserved."
Lin Sui'an didn't notice Jiang Qiniang's gaze. She was like an ant on a hot pot circling around the corpse, waiting for an opportunity to activate its golden finger.
Due to limited conditions, Fang Ke could only perform the simplest physical examination of the corpse. He first placed the corpse on a bamboo mat, put on white cloth gloves, and touched the center of the head, forehead, bun, forehead, and two sides with his hands in sequence. After touching the last bone, Fang Ke finally couldn't bear it anymore, raised his head and said, "Lin Madam, what do you want to do?"
Lin Sui'an raised his robe and squatted down, lowering his voice, "Doctor Fang, can I look at her eyes?"
Fang Ke frowned: "Why?"
"Uh...because-"
Before he finished speaking, Hua Yitang rushed over, grabbed Lin Sui'an's wrist, and shouted, "Don't mess around!"
Lin Sui'an blinked in surprise: What is this brat doing? She told him the secret of Goldfinger and asked him to help her cover it up. Why did it become a stumbling block now?
Hua Yitang activated the chatterbox attribute, "You have just experienced a big battle. You were injured and bleeding, your energy was greatly damaged, and your body and mind are weak... There is no need to rush this matter - just in case it happens again like in Feng's It was just like when I was in private school, I fell asleep for several days and was scared to death...chirping, croaking, croaking, croaking..."
Lin Sui'an's left ear went in and out of the right ear, pretending to listen to the chatter honestly, and when Hua Yitang was not prepared, he suddenly opened the female corpse's eyelids, and the chaotic corpse's pupils were like a mist on her eyeballs——
A white light suddenly appeared, like lightning breaking through the sky, and a new picture appeared in front of him.
The gloomy sky hangs overhead, with a fleeting black cornice and a half-faced plaque with yellow characters on a black background, which reads the word "cloth line".
"Lin Sui'an!" Hua Yitang's voice was like a spring rope pulling her out of the screen. Her eyes were dark, something covered her eyelids, and there was a strong smell of medicine, and there was something behind her. There was an extra cushion with ups and downs of breathing, and Lin Sui'an was in a daze for a moment before she came back to her senses. She leaned in Hua Yitang's arms at some point, and it was Hua Yitang's bandaged palm that covered her eyes.
"Ms. Lin, what's going on?"
"Why did you faint suddenly?"
Ling Zhiyan's and Fang Ke's voices sounded at the same time. Hua Yitang didn't make a sound for a long time. Because his eyes were covered, Lin Sui'an's other senses became extremely sensitive and clear. He could even hear Hua Yitang's violent heartbeat from his shoulder blades. Her back felt numb, as if there were countless fluffy bugs crawling across it, which made her feel itchy in her heart.
Lin Sui'an sat upright in excitement, pulled Hua Yitang's hand, and glanced at the anxious Ling Zhiyan, frowning Fang Ji, and Jiang Qiniang, whose eyebrows were flying to the sky, turned her head and saw Hua Yitang's face.
Hua Yitang's face was serious, his lips were white, and his eyes were filled with intense red light, like two pieces of coal on the verge of exploding. Being stared at by him like this, Lin Sui'an suddenly felt guilty for no reason.
"Ahem, I'm a little tired..." Lin Sui'an said, "It's okay."
Ling Zhiyan breathed a sigh of relief, then glanced at Lin Sui'an thoughtfully and said, "It seems that Mrs. Lin is the one who needs to drink the tortoise soup to replenish her body."
Lin Sui'an laughed dryly and changed the subject, "What did Doctor Fang find out?"
"The identity of the body is unknown, female, about sixteen or seventeen years old. It was thrown into the water after death. Judging from the temperature of the water and the degree of rigor mortis, the time of death was about eleven hours ago. The body was soaked in the water for about two hours. Hours later, as for the fatal cause of death, further autopsy of the body is needed to determine——"
Jiang Qiniang: "Can we do the dissection here?"
Fang Ke glared: "No."
Jiang Qiniang was obviously choked, and Ling Zhiyan hurriedly said, "The sun is too strong here and the humidity is too heavy. It is not easy to preserve the body, and the autopsy requires process approval."
Jiang Qiniang nodded and was about to ask something else when she heard a commotion from the shore. It turned out that the dock had arrived. Two teams of impressive soft-armored guards lined up to greet them. The leader was a graceful female officer with a dark face. He looked down and glared at Jiang Qiniang on the boat.
For the first time, a guilty look appeared on Jiang Qiniang's face. She covered half of her face and muttered, "It's over, it's over, I was caught red-handed."
As soon as the boat docked, the female officer led the soft-armored guards and jumped onto the boat aggressively. Although the female officer looked soft and frail, her voice was not quiet. Her first line was so angry that it was deafening: "Jiang Qiniang had a great time today. Still happy?!”
Jiang Qiniang smiled and said: "Not bad."
"Have you finished reading Jiang Qiniang's account books today?"
"Right away."
"My family has been waiting for six hours, and we are so excited!"
"Just come back."
The female officer's expression just softened a bit, and she happened to catch a glimpse of the body on the deck. She was immediately shocked, "Who is this?!"
Jiang Qiniang hurriedly comforted her: "It's okay, it's okay, I happened to pick up a body on the road."
The female officer's face turned darker.
Ling Zhiyan clasped her fists: "Don't worry Jiang Qiniang, Ling will definitely get to the bottom of this."
Jiang Qiniang blinked, "Are you checking alone?"
Ling Zhiyan: "If I can get Jiang Qiniang's approval, Ling would like to investigate the case together with Huajia Silang."
"That's right." Jiang Qiniang said, "If Old Man Chen from Dali Temple blocks it again, just say it was me who said it."
Ling Zhiyan expressed her thanks, and Hua Yitang accepted the order with clasped fists.
Jiang Qiniang left in a hurry. Half an hour later, Ling Zhiyan led the officials of Dali Temple to take away the female body, and the boat set off again, heading east along the Luoshui River.
Fang Ke probably guessed Jiang Qiniang's identity, but didn't react much. Ita and Mu Xia chatted about today's shocking experience, and occasionally burst out a few unintelligible exclamations.
Hua Yitang stood on the bow of the boat, letting the river wind flutter her petal-like clothes. Where the water and the sky met, the sky was getting dark, and huge blue-black cloud shadows spread along the river. Depression and sadness seemed to be floating in the wind. .
From the moment Jiang Qiniang got off the boat - no, to be precise, from the moment Lin Sui'an started the Golden Finger on his own, Hua Yitang was horribly silent, leaving only Lin Sui'an's hard back.
Lin Sui'an scratched his forehead, feeling a little troubled.
This guy seems really angry. :,,
