Xu Xing suddenly stopped climbing the stairs, he looked at the stairs leading to the second floor with a solemn expression, and his brows were locked. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
"Why don't you leave?" Wu Xi urged him in the back.
"I think we're late."
"Late?" Wu Xi didn't dare to move, her heart seemed to be put into an airtight pocket, and she was panicked.
Tan Hu's body was carried out of the corridor by the police, and the white shroud covering it was stained red with blood, scaring the crowd of onlookers backwards like a tide.
"I heard from the police just now, Tan Hu's head seems to have been smashed off, and his brains have been knocked out."
"What a big hatred, what do you use to fight it?"
"It is said to be a soup spoon, and the handle has been lost."
"So miserable, what about the tiger girl?"
"I'm not at home, but fortunately, otherwise I wouldn't have escaped this catastrophe."
Wu Xi and Xu Xing glanced at each other, and then walked towards the door silently.
"Miss Wu, Miss Wu, etc."
Wu Xi turned around and saw the old lady of the Lantern Festival shop running towards her, she hurriedly went up to support her, "Grandma, what's the matter?" ”
The old lady stuffed a bag of Lantern Festival into her arms, "I just saw you in the crowd, no, I prepared a bag of Lantern Festival for you to take back to eat." ”
"Grandma, you're so polite, didn't you give it to me last time." Wu Xi hurriedly waved his hand.
"Have you been in the shop just now?" Xu Xing interrupted the two who were pushing each other.
"yes, I've been doing it, what's wrong?" The old lady looked confused.
"Then have you ever seen a tiger girl?"
"Yes, I saw her carrying a big bag and hurriedly walked out, oops," she suddenly reacted, "You don't need to tell the police comrades about this situation, maybe it will help them solve the case." ”
"Grandma, can you show me that picture first?"
"What photo?"
"The bell, Elkan and his bell."
Xu Xing brought a plate of stir-fried prawns and a pea sprout with oyster sauce to the table, and then brought two bowls of fragrant white rice. He walked up to Wu Xi, who was sitting on the sofa and looking out the window meditating, and shook his hand in front of her eyes, "The food can't attract you, what is the big deal?" ”
"I'm thinking about the tiger girl, what ...... is she" Wu Xi sniffed with her nose, she walked to the table, "This shrimp is so big, it must be delicious." ”
After finishing the dishes and chopsticks, Wu Xi could finally sit down with Xu Xing and talk about "business" with peace of mind, but before she could speak, Xu Xing had already said everything she wanted to ask first.
"Tan Hu should have been killed by his own daughter, presumably Hu Niu has been possessed by the resentful spirit in the clock and ran away with the clock."
"So how can we find her?"
"It's not impossible to know where the tiger girl goes, according to you, the shell of the bell is engraved with a Ning character, and I also saw that photo at the grandmother's house that sold the Lantern Festival today, it does have a Ning character on it, but that's not all, the mouth is exquisite and luxurious, at first glance it is a good thing, this kind of object at that time was only produced abroad, only princes, nobles and ministers and close relatives could have it. Mo Zhixian cherished this bell so much that even after death, a wisp of soul was attached to it, which shows that this bell must be a gift from her most beloved person. ”
"So this bell is something from the Ning family?"
"That's right, I checked the historical materials and found that during the Qianlong period of the Qing Dynasty, there was indeed an adult surnamed Ning in the court, he lived in the imperial history of the left capital of the Imperial Palace, and was quite trusted by the emperor, and this Lord Ning only had an only son under his knees, he had a single name and a Fei character, and he also followed his father to be an official in the court."
"Ning Fei?" Wu Xi read these two words, "Listening to the name, you can feel that he must be a handsome son of Zhong Lingyuxiu, is he Mo Zhixian's crush?" ”
"Presumably that's it, but I also found out something more important, the Ning family's lineage is still not broken, and they live in D City."
"Could it be that Tiger Girl will go to them? Isn't the Ning family in danger? Wu Xi panicked.
"That's not it, you don't have to worry, this clock is just a wisp of Mo Zhixian's remnant soul, and her real soul has been wandering in the world, if she wanted to find the Ning family, she should have made a move a long time ago, and she didn't have to wait until now. The reason why I want to go to the descendants of the Ning family is to get the whole thing to a conclusion, so that maybe I can find a place for the clock, and maybe I can figure out why Mo Zhixian hates you to the core. ”
On a rainy day, Wu Xi and Xu Xing stood at the gate of a primary school with umbrellas waiting for the descendants of the Ning family, his name was Ning Zhi, and he was a teacher. It took a lot of effort for them to get in touch with him, but the man was happy enough to ask them to come to his school that day to find him.
Wu Xi looked at the misty playground, and there was a little more expectation in her eyes: Ning Zhi, what a nice name, as a famous family, he should also be born with a handsome and extraordinary appearance. She was full of hope to see a young man with a long body, walking in the rain with an umbrella, only such a man could make Mo Zhixian love to the depths of hatred.
"Hey, you're the one who asked me to come out on the phone to meet, right?" Her arm was slapped coldly. Wu Xi looked at the side suspiciously, there, a dark and short man was looking at the two of them, his age was the same as Ning Zhi she imagined, but only the age was the same. He wore black-rimmed glasses, and his hair was stiff and curly, like the mane of some animal, clinging to the huge head. His face was full of tiredness, and he was still biting on a pancake fruit.
"Are you Ningzhi?" Xu Xing asked.
"That's right, it's me, I didn't even have time to eat after class, these students, it's getting harder and harder to serve now." He chattered impatiently.
"I'm sorry to let you out after being so busy, but can you tell us about your ancestors?" Xu Xing glanced at Wu Xi, she looked surprised, obviously she hadn't recovered from her fantasies.
"Come, let's find a place to shelter from the rain." As he spoke, he walked into a small store next to him, and Wu Xi and Xu Xing also followed into the house.
Ning Zhi put the umbrella away and scratched his huge head, "Actually, there is nothing to say about my family's affairs, although the ancestor did be a big official in the Qing Dynasty, but it was just such a generation, and it soon declined." ”
"Why is it declining?"
"Because his only son, oh, that is, Ning Fei you said on the phone, died inexplicably."
