42. The fifth guest
Life is loveless - life is loveless.
This is an advanced four-character idiom, Lian Yun was fortunate to have just learned it not long ago, thanks to Lu Shengyuan's careful teaching, and then he didn't expect that he would experience the feelings contained in these four words so quickly
The one who was killed was the head disciple of the head of the Gongsun faction, because it was a pair of double sisters, and he was quite famous after the rivers and lakes. The twin sisters use the eyebrow thorn, which is between a weapon and a hidden weapon, small and changeable, and many women in the rivers and lakes will use it.
Just like Xu Liangdu's death, both of them are said to have looked like they had committed suicide when they were found, with the beautiful woman piercing her neck with her eyebrows, leaving a bloody hole, as if she didn't feel pain at all.
And Lian Yun's roll of paper was found under the window of their room, which was obviously a method of harm, but unfortunately, the person misunderstood the meaning of this thing to Lian Yun. Lu Shengyuan was even a little glad that the other party did not open the paper roll, otherwise he would have looked for something else to replace it.
"The other party obviously already knows our whereabouts, and can get the scroll of practice, not to mention that he may have stayed with us in the past." Lu Shengyuan pondered.
"According to what you say, I guess he must have been to the inn, got something through some means, and then left."
Lu Shengyuan began to recall everything that happened last night, not letting go of any detail. Lian Yun said that after returning to the house, he also reconfirmed the things that were placed in the placket once, it is certain that the paper roll was brought back, and he never went out after that, after Lu Shengyuan came back, Lian Yun ate a chicken leg, and then he was pulled to wash, and then rested.
Wait a minute!
Because Lian Yun stained his face and clothes, he bathed directly, and during this period, Xiao Er of the inn came up to clean up the dishes and chopsticks on the table.
Lu Shengyuan opened the door and looked inside the inn hall, and soon he found Xiao Er, who came to pack his things yesterday, and beckoned someone to him.
Xiao Er, who ran all the way, rubbed his hands and asked, "Guest officer, what are your orders?" ”
Lu Shengyuan's eyes looked at each other, until the smile on Xiao Er's face began to become a little stiff, and then he said, "When you came in to clean up your things last night, did you have anything else to pick up when you came out of the dishes and chopsticks?" ”
This sentence made Xiao Er understand that he had done something bad, and he didn't just do Xiao Er in the one-foot lake the first day, so he naturally knew that when the guest asked about these things, he probably made a mistake. The person who came over with understanding carefully recalled the incident when he cleaned up the dishes and chopsticks last night, and then said stiffly: "When I went out, I saw a roll of things on the ground, all of which were mud, and I wondered if the guest officer threw it on the ground casually, so I picked it up together." ”
After saying these words, his face was already pale, you must know that it is not easy to do business in Yiqi Lake, this place is in chaos, like today's thing, being beaten and scolded is a common thing, if you accidentally touch the precious things of the guests, it is also possible to be accidentally killed.
Lu Shengyuan saw his ugly face, and said in a gentle tone: "It's not a big deal, that thing is indeed going to be thrown away, but I can't find it suddenly, I'm a little strange." ”
Xiao Er reluctantly laughed: "It's all my fault." ”
Lu Shengyuan comforted him a few words again, and then let people leave, he looked at the back of the shopkeeper and fell into deep thought. The other party doesn't seem to be lying, it is very likely that the murderer has observed Lian Yun for a day and knows the importance of this thing to him, or that Lian Yun has inadvertently met the murderer.
But what Lu Shengyuan couldn't figure out was why the other party wanted to target Lian Yun, you must know that the iron piece of Shi Zhichuan had also been returned, and the iron piece of Yu Chiheng, the young man finally admitted that it was just an imitation made to lure the snake out of the hole.
Do you think Lian Yun is coveting treasures? It is impossible that if you know that there is no frost in the tide world, you should not have such an idea.
Lu Shengyuan thought about it for a long time, and finally could only reluctantly guess about Shi Zhichuan's body, perhaps because Lian Yun was Shi Zhichuan's master, and in order to solve Shi Zhichuan's backer, he targeted Lian Yun.
On the other side, Shi Zhichuan and Wei Chiheng also arrived at Yiqi Lake, and when they learned that two people had died just now, the faces of the teenagers were not good.
"This is a foot lake? There are so many people. The lazy voice came into Shi Zhichuan's ears.
He looked back and saw a slightly strangely dressed person standing in the crowd, as if he was about to fall asleep at any time, the sword in his hand was on his shoulder, as if he noticed Shi Zhichuan's gaze, and turned his head slowly.
A pair of dead fish eyes.
"Ah Chuan, let's go."
Shi Zhichuan looked at the other party's eyes in a daze and nodded.
"What were you just looking at?"
"No, just take a look."
"Oh."
The treasure hunt was not stopped because someone died, and on the fifteenth, it was still held as scheduled at One Foot Lake. The cruelty of the reality announced in this way is enough to cause people to laugh mockingly, but at this moment, because of the shadow of great temptation in this place, every gloom can be covered.
Thousands of people are empty, and everyone gathers together!
I don't know that the one-foot lake got three pieces of iron from a doorway, and displayed them in front of everyone.
Saying that it is a treasure hunt is actually more like gathering enough people to let those who have iron pieces in their hands hand over their iron pieces independently, and the bloody case that happened at the beginning also increased the smoothness of this matter by a few points.
People's hearts are greedy, not to mention that the people who are standing in the one-foot lake at this moment, soon someone went up and handed over the iron piece in their hands, Lu Shengyuan took a look, it was an unknown man, as he thought, the first to shake must be the weak.
Thinking that the murderer might be mixed in the crowd, Lu Shengyuan glanced at it hastily, turned around to find Lian Yun, he didn't think that the murderer would make a move during this time period, and it would take some days for him to appear.
Shi Zhichuan, who was standing in the crowd, inadvertently saw Lu Shengyuan's back, and was about to speak, when a figure quickly flashed from the corner of his eye, and then disappeared. The crowd was all gathered together, so the other places were particularly eye-catching, just like the only retrograde Lu Shengyuan he found, the figure walking quickly in the empty alley, as conspicuous.
Shi Zhichuan thought about it, and couldn't help but follow with the curiosity in his heart, and the voice of Wei Chiheng shouting behind him was still coming, but soon as he walked farther and farther, the voice of the young man in red could no longer be heard.
Standing outside the crowd, Shi Zhichuan hesitantly looked at his left and right sides, and finally chose the right side.
Lian Yun sat in the Chunyu small building, the entire one-foot lake, I am afraid that only Mei Shisan is still doing business today, but the strange thing is that it is not only him who is here, but also the young man he met a few times ago.
When the other party walked into the small building, he glanced at Lian Yun, and then sat arrogantly in the middle position, Mei 13 greeted Lian Yun, and the person who ran the hall was obviously very familiar with the other party, and after turning into the back kitchen, he took some side dishes and retreated after drinking.
Mei Shisan looked at Lian Yun who was wearing a new dress, to be honest, when she saw Lian Yun for the first time, she was directly frightened back by the other party's momentum, but she didn't expect that after a while, Lian Yun himself came in. I ordered a drink, and I was picky about just drinking some wine, which didn't look like I was going to come a second time, but unexpectedly he came again today.
This person is really weird, Mei 13 muttered in his heart, but he still gave Lian Yun the name of the dish with a smile on his face, and when he got the other party's jaw, Mei 13 thought about the appearance of the young man entering the small building that day-
obviously looks cold, but it looks like a child who has just gone to play with mud, rubbing a mouthful of mud.
It's shocking to say, but it's also ridiculous.
Mei 13 raised her voice and asked the runner to go to the back kitchen to report the name of the dish, and then returned to the back of the counter again, she was not interested in any treasure hunt in this one-foot lake, and it seemed that her two guests were the same.
Lian Yun waited until the dishes were ready, drank a glass of wine, and he made an appointment with Lu Shengyuan to meet in this place, thinking that the other party should have come back on the way.
Lian Yun has always cared much about the murderers who killed Xu Liangdu and Hu Ti, but he didn't expect that this time the other party would deliberately find fault and find his body. Lu Shengyuan was glad that the other party took away only a roll of paper for practicing calligraphy, and for Lian Yun, it was better to take away other things.
After all, in his opinion, what can represent his identity is far less than showing the black history to hundreds of people under the blue sky and white sun.
Lian Yun is a thin face who accidentally wants to save face.
Lian Yun, who was offended by the bottom line, is now very annoyed, and the thought of the other party actually doing it with all his heart makes him feel even more angry.
When the first trace of murderous aura overflowed from his body, the people in the small building all looked at him in unison, but soon went to their own things, although Lian Yun's murderous aura was terrifying, but it didn't feel like it was for anyone present, smart people knew that at this time, they should pretend that they didn't find anything, and continue their own things.
"Lianyun."
The solemn atmosphere was like being thrown into the water of stones, and the murderous aura that filled the entire small building disappeared all at once, Mei Shisan looked up at the person who walked in, the other party was very good-looking, and when he saw Lian Yun, he showed a gentle smile.
I can't tell what it's like, anyway, Mei 13 thinks the other party's smile is quite interesting.
Lu Shengyuan walked to the table and saw a piece of fish meat sandwiched by Lian Yun in the bowl, and squinted happily: "Waited for a long time?" ”
"Nope." Lian Yun shook his head.
Lu Shengyuan sat down, asked the person who ran to add a pair of chopsticks, and said, "Since it's already clipped, let's eat it." ”
Mei Shisan looked at the young man who knew at a glance that it was impossible to live and could not listen to anyone's words, and obediently picked up the chopsticks and fed the fish meat into his mouth, and suddenly she suddenly felt that Lu Shengyuan's smile before was extremely harmonious.
Lian Yun doesn't like to eat, Lu Shengyuan put vegetables into the bowl for him at any time, and he stopped when he felt that it was almost over, often at this time, the young man was silently staring at the bowl in front of him, and then honestly picked up the chopsticks and ate it, the slow movement was like a child.
Mei Shisan unconsciously propped her head and looked at the guests at the table in her small building, she didn't know why, and suddenly felt that the reason why Lian Yun didn't eat anything with chopsticks last time was because the person next to him didn't come with her.
At this time, the door of Xiaolou was knocked on, and Mei Shisan looked up to see a man leaning against the door, as if he was boneless, and his whole body exuded a lazy atmosphere.
Seeing her look over, the man stood up and walked in: "Boss, come with a pot of wine and a pound of beef." The words spoken are typical Jianghu dialect.
So now there were four people in her small building, Mei Shisan glanced outside, and wondered, will there be another person later?
"Someone's Master, Brother Lu?"
Mei 13 put down the hand holding her head, she felt that today was really a strange day, Chunyu Xiaolou ushered in today's fifth guest at the treasure hunt conference.
Shi Zhichuan, who came in at the end, glanced at the only two people in black in the small building, and then walked to Lian Yun: "Master, why are you here?" Eat? ”
Lian Yun bowed his head.
The young man nodded naturally: "Yes, it's noon soon, it's time to eat." ”
Lu Shengyuan asked someone to sit down, and asked the runner to add a pair of chopsticks: "Why are you the only one?" ”
Shi Zhichuan scratched his head: "Wei Chi is still watching that conference, I saw that Brother Lu was about to say hello, so you turned around and left." ”
Hearing this, Lu Shengyuan smiled slightly: "Then you should have spoken out earlier." ”
"Let's speak up earlier next time."
