Chapter 15: The Disappearance of a Girl
The master gave me the jade pendant of the peony to be inspected, and it was determined from its style and pattern that this thing came from the Qiu clan of Maple Leaf Valley, which also indirectly confirmed the identity of the peony and Qiu Aojun. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info doesn't care where the master comes from, he just needs to know that Qiu Aojun is related to the girl's disappearance.
The case of a missing girl? I've been nesting at home these days, I didn't expect such a big thing to happen outside, I can use the master and the three of them to go out, this case is definitely not small, is the master they are suspicious of the peony? That's why I paid special attention to her. But judging from last night's experience, I think Peony is unlikely to be a bad person, and that Qiu Aojun is more likely to be related to this case. And...... She did have a girl in the bag she was carrying.
Anyway, the master has already determined that Qiu Aojun is inseparable from the girl's disappearance! As for peonies...... Master said that regardless of whether this matter was directly related to her or not, at least she had a very good relationship with Qiu Aojun, and Master still suggested that efforts should be made from her. Xiao Hanqian was noncommittal.
Brother Yang was worried: "That Qiu Aojun is the most proud disciple of Qiu Guanglei's sect, she was the number one master among the proud characters in the Red Leaf Valley seven hundred years ago, and her kung fu can be compared to Qiu Guangluo, the three heroes of her predecessor. If she were the mastermind of the girl's disappearance, she would be a tough enemy. Again...... How can Qiu Aojun also be a person from Red Leaf Valley, if you want to arrest her...... Should we inform Qiu Guangguang and Qiu Guang in advance, lest they provoke it afterwards and come to trouble again. ”
Xiao Hanqian said disdainfully: "It's true that Qiu Aojun is a member of the Qiu clan of Red Leaf Valley, but as long as she commits a crime in Yong'an Country, she can't let Red Leaf Valley interfere." It is also appropriate to inform them, and let them collect the corpse when they are done! ”
Master shook off the fan. "Since Han Yan has said so, then let's not think so much, let's solve the case of this girl's disappearance first, and talk about the rest later."
Then the three of them discussed the direction of the investigation of the case, and completely left me aside. I didn't have the heart to listen to them discuss the case, my whole mind was attracted to other places, that is, what they said about time, Qiu Aojun was a master seven hundred years ago, so how old is she, can people in this world live for a long time? I've never thought about this question, could it be that Master, they are also very old? How old am I?
I came to me without a clue: "Master, how old are you?" ”
The master was stunned for a moment, then tilted his head and thought for a long time, "It's more than a thousand years old, who still remembers this." ”
"More than a thousand? What about you? And Brother Yang, what about you? ”
Brother Yang replied, "The three of us are about the same age. ”
"What about me?" I asked, pointing to myself.
Xiao Hanqian said: "When I rescued you for the first time, I went to the government to check your household registration, and you are seventeen years old this year. ”
"Why are you so young at such an age?!"
Master knocked on my head: "Do you still need to ask?" Isn't that the same with all the people of the world? The lifespan is super long, and the time to be naturally young is also longer, plus people with magic can maintain their youth better than those who don't, so people with magic basically don't get old. "I looked incredulous, and I was stunned. Master tapped my forehead with a fan and asked, "Why are you in a daze?" ”
I replied, "Ignore me, I'm rebuilding my worldview!" ”
The master tugged at the corners of his mouth: "Huh? You build it, build it, build it, don't make trouble for us here. With that, he pushed me into the chair across from me, and sat back down to discuss things with them.
If you think about it, a long life is good for me, as long as I am very good, I can protect the people around me from dying, so that I will not be lonely anymore, and I can live happily with everyone forever. The more I thought about it, the happier I became, and I couldn't help but laugh out loud, despised by the three of them like fools, but I didn't care at all, and my whole body was immersed in joy.
It wasn't until Xiao Hanqian called me that I came back to my senses. He said he was going to take me home, but I was worried that the officials had not yet arrived, and the people in the yamen would not let me go. Master smiled slyly and told me, "With Xiao Hanqian here, no one dares to stop us." When I think about it, Master, they are doing the government a favor, and the government will still give this little face. Before leaving, I asked Master for a jade pendant, but Master wouldn't give it!
Xiao Hanqian asked me coldly, "Do you want to take the jade pendant to find the peony?" ”
As soon as Xiao Han's words came out, Master's murderous gaze shot over me again, and I was trembling when I saw it. hurriedly said perfunctorily: "If there is nothing, how can it be?" I always keep in mind the words of the three of you, and besides, you have just finished teaching me, how dare I commit a crime on the cusp of this storm, since you like the jade pendant, I don't want it, I'll go home first...... Homecoming! Master, get busy. ”
After saying that, I turned around and was about to run, but was stopped by Xiao Hanqi. "What's the hurry? Can you get out of this yamen without me? He wrapped his cloak around me, took my arm, and walked out. His long hair brushed my cheeks, and the green silk fluttered gently in front of my eyes, filling my eyes and touching my heart......
Sure enough, no one stopped us along the way, and the officials all saluted us respectfully. Walking out of the gate, we got into a carriage, and Xiao Hanqian gave an order, and his personal servant Ziyan set up the carriage and went on the road.
It's still early, the air is cool in the early hours of the morning, and the streets are deserted. I leaned on the window and looked out for a long time, but I didn't find any excitement, so I simply retracted my head again. Xiao Hanqian leaned back on the car and closed his eyes to recuperate, he didn't mean to talk to me at all, he and the master had just finished training me, and I didn't dare to talk to him casually, for fear of provoking fire, so I had to play with my own nepotism all the way.
The carriage stopped in front of the Liuji Medical Center, Xiao Hanqian got out of the carriage first, and I followed to jump out of the carriage. Before I could jump, Xiao Hanqian supported my armpits with both hands and hugged me down. His actions were unexpected, and I was a little overwhelmed, and my face was as hot as a fire, and I guessed that my face must have been so red that I was not embarrassed to raise my head and keep my head low.
Xiao Hanqian casually turned my body to the door of the medical hall, gently pushed me on the back, and said lightly: "Go back quickly." ”
I didn't have the boldness to reply, so I whispered a little and was about to knock on the door. Before I raised my hand, the door suddenly opened, Xiaoxue's anxious face appeared, and the moment she saw me, she turned into joy, hugging me and jumping and jumping: "Rong'er, you are back, and my cousin and I are in a hurry." Are you okay? Hurt? With that, she let go of me and looked around me. At this time, Sister Liu also came out and saw that I breathed a sigh of relief and put on a relieved expression.
Although she and Sister Liu were worried, I was very reluctant not to go. But I have to admit that I enjoy this kind of feeling of being remembered, and my heart is warm. I pressed Xiaoxue's shoulder, signaled her to calm down, and spun around in front of her. "Xiaoxue, look, I'm fine. I'm so sorry for worrying you and Sister Liu. ”
Sister Liu stepped forward and grabbed my hands. "It's okay, it's okay. Let's get inside, eat some food and get some good sleep, and talk about it when you have something to rest. "Sister Liu pulled me and was about to enter the house, when I raised my eyes and saw Xiao Hanqian standing outside the gate, let go of me and stepped forward to give a salute." Thank you Childe for sending Rong'er home, if Childe has nothing important, please come into the house for a cup of tea, and let our sisters chat to express their gratitude. ”
Xiao Hanqian nodded slightly as a return gift. "Doctor Liu is polite, Rong'er was originally placed here by me, and I should thank you if you want to thank you. Qianqiu and Yuqing and I still have important things to do for a while, so I won't bother and say goodbye. After speaking, he turned around and got into the carriage, and Sister Liu saluted. Before Xiao Hanqian got into the car, he turned around and said to us: "I'm afraid there won't be peace in the city these days, especially you!" He pointed at me and said, "Stay at home honestly, don't run around." ”
I was a little unconvinced, what is storage, am I a thing? Besides, am I the one who causes trouble? Why did you point at me and say don't run around? "Who ran around? Don't worry, as long as that old witch doesn't come to provoke me, I won't bother to pay attention to her! Besides, with the three of you here, it's not my turn to meddle in my affairs. ”
"Remember what you said yourself!" After he finished speaking, he entered the car, and a sentence came out: "Ziyan, let's go." Ziyan answered, and left in the carriage.
Seeing them for a distance, Sister Liu took us back to the house. After breakfast, Xiaoxue kept pestering me to ask about last night, and I told them about it. Sister Liu frowned when she heard this, and Xiaoxue said with a puzzled expression: "The girl is missing?" And it's still a lot of cases, why haven't I heard of it? Although Yong'an City is big, there are many people, and the rumors spread very quickly, if many girls disappeared at once, rumors must have spread in the city for a long time. Even if the government wants to seal it, the girl's family doesn't necessarily have to do it? Is this true? ”
I pondered for a long time and replied: "I guess I can't be wrong, there was really a girl in the pocket of Qiu Aojun's back last night, and besides, Master, they have already started to stare at the peony, I guess this matter must be inseparable from the girl's disappearance." Originally, no one had paid attention to it, but when did Master find out? How can you be sure that there are girls missing, and there are many cases?
"Ah......h Sister Liu seemed to remember something, and suddenly shouted.
I immediately asked, "Sister Liu, do you remember anything?" What does it have to do with this? ”
Sister Liu's eyes were half-narrowed, and she said while thinking: "Half a month ago, Brother Yang and the others invited me to go to the Yamen to conduct autopsies on nine girls, and the nine girls died in a special state, all of them died of excessive blood loss, and there was not a drop of blood left in their bodies, as if they had been sucked dry by something, and there were two tooth marks on their necks. ”
"Vampires!" I exclaimed.
