Yixin shook his head, and then rolled his eyes: "No, we didn't achieve much on our side, but I went to visit a friend, and he will also help.................."

Friends...... and friends in Sword Street?

Aoyama was curious, and immediately started talking to Yishin again.

And when the two of them discussed the next course of action and reflected countermeasures.

Alice and Zilong were not idle.

Alice, who has grown up a year here, still looks young and beautiful.

Still exuding the unique fragrance of a girl, she pulled Zilong and sat on the stone steps on the side, which was a good position to see the green mountains and Yixin.

Grunt, Zilong poured some water, still looking at Qingshan a little lonely.

At this moment, Alice couldn't stop talking and began to chatter with Zilong.

"Zilong, I always feel like you...... Have you been staring at Aoyama?"

"Hmm...... It's nothing, is it?"

Alice and Zilong's relationship is not very good, probably because Zilong and Qingshan are relatively close, and the two rarely talk alone like this in their daily lives, but they have a general understanding of each other's concerns and life experiences.

It is a veritable friendship of Pingshui.

Truly...... It's nothing, Alice, who looked at Yixin and paid attention to the flawless standing posture, said to Zilong again: "I heard that you sometimes feel homesick, don't you? I also feel homesick, a long time ago, I also had a home." ”

"I want to prove myself here, looking for my father...... In a sense, we are very similar. ”

As she spoke, Alice, who was looking ahead, didn't notice that Zilong's expression was much darker.

He replied listlessly, "Well, sort of...... Once upon a time, I had a home............ Sorry, I'm ...... Not much interest in women. I don't know what to say at this time. ”

After speaking, his eyes were still locked on the direction of Qingshan.

I don't have much interest in women..................

Alice's intuition as a woman rang out again, and within a moment, all the mysteries had been sorted out.

I didn't expect such a thing to happen to me..................

She withdrew her gaze and looked at Zilong's handsome side face staring at Qingshan.

"This is the ...... Does he know?"

It is better to move thousands of rivers than to move people's hearts.

Zilong made no secret of himself and told Alice everything.

"I don't know, Brother Qingshan, he has someone in his heart, you don't have to know. ”

Alice shook her head, lowered her head slightly, and her chin hung over her angular collarbone.

"I think...... It's better to say this heart earlier, and that's how I am, until I lose it...... Only then did I realize that I still had a lot to say to that person. ”

Alice's eyes were a little misty, and a girl's heart was pounding. Of course, none of this has entered the eyes of Zilong.

He just looked at Qingshan with a calm face, as if he was already very content to look at Qingshan's talented appearance.

"It's okay, there's no need, Brother Qingshan is already confused enough, and I don't need to make any more trouble. ”

Immediately after, Alice raised her head, still feeling unwilling for Zilong.

"Why? Why is it worth treating yourself like this for someone like him?"

Why............ Zilong Youzai carefully reflected the outline of Qingshan in his eyes, and this time, he turned his head and watched Alice speak.

And at this time, Alice realized that there was more than just sunshine on Zilong's handsome face.

"Because Brother Qingshan is a good person, it's just because I'm lucky. ”

“...... There are not only such people in this world, please understand this. ”

"It's because you're a nice guy who doesn't even know about this kind of thing,...... That's what I'm telling you. ”

Then he glanced in the direction of Aoyama again, for fear that Aoyama would hear the secret conversation between the two of them.

"Brother Qingshan and you...... All are very nice people. ”

With every word, Zilong's expression became more helpless and sad, which made Alice feel a little heartbroken.

"What about you? Aren't you a good person? Aren't you worthy of happiness?"

The originally clear sky gathered some dark clouds.

The answer given by Zilong was unexpected.

He shook his head and gave Alice an answer that was all negative.

"I............ Not worth being happy. ”

"Because I don't have a father. Not even a good 'person'. ”

Alice, nineteen years old.

With a tragic upbringing, she has seen countless madness and faith, perseverance and perseverance, pain and suffering.

Today, it was the first time she had seen such a handsome face that included everything.

..................

"There's still some time today, let's work harder, Zilong and I haven't been to the port yet. ”

"Well, I've looked for it on the street, if not............ Will it be in the mountains? Alice and I walked up the mountain. ”

The conversation between the two seemed to be over, and they were walking in the direction of Alice and Zilong.

Zilong handed the kettle back to Qingshan, and changed back to his usual cold-faced handsome look.

And Alice, who looked at Zilong like this...... I could only pat the ash on my ass sullenly and stand up.

"Alice, what's wrong?"

Without Zilong's good emotional control ability, Alice's unhappiness was keenly perceived by Yixin.

"It's nothing, I'm just thinking, what's the difference between those who try to kill people with knives and us, they all kill others in order to prove their skills............"

Gently patting Alice on the shoulder, Aoyama said to her: "The difference is that the people we kill also want to kill us, while the people they kill just want to live and protect themselves." ”

Castle Peak Road Chief............

In just a few words, Alice can also understand Zilong's words.

'Aoyama and you are very nice people. ’

She smiled and nodded, and looked at Zilong again.

"Well, that's right. ”

Seeing that Alice was fine, Yixin regrouped once again and was ready to set off to do what she had to do.

"Cheer up, everyone, and we'll see you in the evening. ”

After saying that, Yixin and Alice headed in the direction of the mountain, walking and walking...... I heard a shout behind me.

"One Heart!"

Seeing that they parted ways, Qingshan turned around and stopped Yixin, and Yixin also stopped and looked back, what did Qingshan want to say......?

"Be careful all the way, hee-hee. ”

The hiss ———— so cold that Alice shivered on the spot.

I didn't expect Aoyama to say such a cold pun at such a time..................

Alice pulled down her eyelids and stuck out her tongue, slightly ————

Haha, Yixin chuckled, it was a good match, and then turned back and continued on his way.

A laughing breath exhaled from Zilong's nose, and he sincerely hoped that the days by Qingshan's side would ————

It can go on like this forever.

....................................

Walking and walking, the investigation of the crowd continued.

And seeing that the port is near, in order to take a shortcut, Aoyama and his party ...... I finally made some discoveries.

No, not a small discovery, but a major discovery.

The two of them stood in the alley with only a glimmer of sky, and in front of them was a pool of blood, a stiff corpse.

Judging by the color of the blood............ The murderer shouldn't have gone very far............

Aoyama, who had had experience, crouched down, kept his knees from touching the ground, and began to examine the wound like that.

In Lisuo's movements, Aoyama couldn't help but feel a little impatient.

For a long time...... I haven't felt this way anymore.

Manipulate the corpse and investigate the cause of death.

Last time was in Kyushu............

According to Qingshan's inference, the murderer of that series of incidents is likely to be his former friend Shui Jing............

"Brother Qingshan, are you okay?

Zilong, who was standing on the side, raised his hand to Qingshan, wanting to help but didn't know what to do.

Qingshan smiled at Zilong: "It's okay, just let me do this kind of thing alone." ”

The body was not swollen, most of the blood had not yet clotted, and the fatal blow came from a scar on the chest. It is clear that the time of death did not exceed ten minutes.

Doing this kind of thing often, Aoyama is also half an expert.

I know a lot about the corpses that Shui Jing killed, but I don't know why Shui Jing did this.

He couldn't help but think to himself...... How much do you know about Zilong?

Water Mirror...... How much did you hide from yourself?

In the midst of the chaos in Aoyama's head, there are still clear things to discern.

He carefully turned the man's head around to see his dying expression.

You can also get a lot of information from your expressions.

But it doesn't matter if you don't look at it, look at it..................

Aoyama felt a little regretful.

It was clear that Aoyama, who had a disgusted face, knew the owner of this face.

That day, in that people's swordsmanship dojo...... An entrepreneur whose wife did not let him come out to practice swords............

Clearly...... I don't want to hurt anyone, so happily wielding a sword............

Looking at the look of horror on the corpse, Aoyama gritted his teeth.

In the past year and a half, Aoyama, who has not had any obvious emotional ups and downs, is now ............

Angry!

Zilong saw that Qingshan's hand stopped, and naturally took a few steps closer and observed carefully, hoping to come in handy.

I saw that there were still a few scratches on the man's chest, many of which were blackened, which seemed to be burns............

Zilong, who couldn't hide his curiosity, couldn't help but blurt out: "What kind of weapon can cause such damage............

The angry Qingshan gritted his teeth, and only then did Zilong notice that it was the first time he had seen such a Qingshan Dao Chief......

An evil aura overflowed from his face, and Qingshan explained to Zilong in a very slow voice: "Any weapon must be held by hand. ”

"The so-called ten fingers are connected to the heart. It is not a weapon that kills people, but the human heart. ”

He looked up at the cloudy sky from the alley.

"We're not looking for a weapon, we're looking for someone. ”

looked at the corpse, and then at Aoyama's seriously annoyed look.

Zilong nodded and said............
