53. Let's make a transition
"Quack—quack—"
Fang just returned to the inn, and when he opened the door, he saw Shi Zhichuan's whole body stiff, standing in the room at a loss, a snow-white bird standing on his shoulder, and saw Lian Yun make a crow-like cry after entering the house.
Shi Zhichuan was about to call Lian Yun, but after meeting his master's sharp gaze, the young man flattened his mouth weakly and explained, "I don't know what's going on, it," pointing to the bird on his shoulder, "just like that, it suddenly flew down, stopped here, and never went down." ”
"This is a frost-free snow crow?" Lu Shengyuan asked.
Lian Yun bowed his head and walked into the house, and after he made a move, the snow crow that had stopped on Shi Zhichuan's shoulder flapped its wings and flew towards him, and then stopped on Lian Yun's outstretched arm.
There was a bamboo pipe pinned to the snow crow's leg, Lian Yun took it off and handed it to Lu Shengyuan behind him, so that the young man behind him held up an arc at the corner of his mouth.
"Master, come here."
Lian Yun pulled the other party over the moment the young man approached, and the sudden approaching distance, coupled with unceremoniously brushing his neck away, stretched out his head and sniffed at the place of his shoulder socket, which made Shi Zhichuan feel a little blushing.
"What are you doing?" Lu Shengyuan bent down and leaned over and asked.
"Nothing." Lian Yun replied lightly, and after letting go of Shi Zhichuan, he said, "Shi Shi ate something that shouldn't be eaten. ”
What not to eat? Poison?! Shi Zhichuan looked at Lian Yun nervously, in his memory, he didn't know what he shouldn't eat, seeing Lian Yun's expression so 'dignified', the young man's heart sank to the bottom.
"The snow crow can smell the smell, but I didn't notice it before because it was relatively light," glanced at Shi Zhichuan's ugly expression, "This smell is only half a year, don't worry." Lian Yun said lightly, his voice was not loud, but it was the first time he said so many words in front of Shi Zhichuan, and the little apprentice felt a sense of honor for some reason, and at the same time, after estimating that he was not poisoned, Shi Zhichuan's heart rose again.
Lu Shengyuan: "Did you eat it when Xiaochuan wasn't paying attention?" ”
Shi Zhichuan: "I don't have any impression at all.
"Ha, it's okay," seeing his appearance, Lu Shengyuan was also expected, "Since I've already eaten it, there's no way to do it." Let's see what's coming from Frost-Free City. After seeing Shi Zhichuan's expression, Lu Shengyuan already understood, with his personality, it is estimated that he will not be aware of being really poisoned.
Therefore, sometimes it is quite scary to see such a person, who is still alive and kicking.
The message of Frostless City was written by Zhong Hua himself, and it seemed to have traced a little bit of the traces of the organization that had been using gunpowder on Frostless City, and it seemed that they had done something to Frostless City, and they were still doing other actions in the rivers and lakes.
"As for the specific things, I didn't write much, presumably because the things that can be written in the letter are limited, and in the end I just said whether I can go to Hezhou, Zhonghua seems to be going there." Lu Shengyuan said.
Hezhou?
Lian Yun has no interest in going there, as far as he is concerned, he has two troubles, one is the mysterious organization that has always used gunpowder on him, and the other is the evil path person he provoked not long ago.
One just had an action, and was beaten back by Lian Yun, presumably there will be no more moths for a period of time, and the other is not a good character, people in the evil way have always been retribution, Lian Yun's hand directly penetrated half of the other party's body, and with such a heavy hand, it is conceivable that the revenge after the incident must not be light.
It's just that now I don't know if the other party is dead? If he didn't die, would he come back to take revenge, and what would he do to Shi Zhichuan at that time?
"Do you want to go to Hezhou?" Lu Shengyuan asked.
"No, no."
Lu Shengyuan bowed, then asked Lian Yun about something, and walked to the side to reply to Zhonghua.
Shi Zhichuan sat on the table, unpacking the oiled paper bag holding the food, and asked Lian Yun: "Master, why don't you go to Hezhou?" ”
Lian Yun: "Why do you want to go?" ”
Stunned by the rhetorical question, Shi Zhichuan scratched his face, and said hesitantly after a while: "Didn't Elder Zhonghua ask you to go?" ”
This sentence made the person who had been looking at Lu Shengyuan's back turn around, and Lian Yun looked at Shi Zhichuan with an expression on his face, until a layer of sweat appeared on the young man's forehead, and then he said slowly: "Master, Zhonghua is just Zhonghua." ”
Zhonghua is just Zhonghua. This sentence reminded Shi Zhichuan of that sentence - the city lord can only be the city lord.
The identity of Frostless City is clearly distinguished, and there is no room for the slightest leap, Lian Yun is telling him that as the city lord for the entire Frostless City, he has the absolute right to speak, even if the city lord never cares about things, but no one can ignore his words and deeds.
This is simply capricious to the point of being terrifying, but Shi Zhichuan feels that the city lord of Frostless City has this capital capriciousness.
"You have to remember." These are the last four words that Lian Yun said.
Shi Zhichuan nodded.
After the meal, the young man helped Lu Shengyuan clean up the mess on the table, and Lian Yun, who has always been the shopkeeper, sat alone under the window and read a book, and finally Shi Zhichuan walked over and said softly: "Master, I have something I want to ask you." ”
Lian Yun put down the book, glanced at Lu Shengyuan, who was already packing up the things in the house, and turned his head to look down at his disciple: "What's the matter?" ”
"Master said before, you met my enemy, I thought about it, how did Master know that the other party was my enemy? Have you ever seen a piece of iron killer? Shi Zhichuan asked the biggest doubt in his heart.
Before Hu Ti died, he tried to tell Shi Zhichuan's enemy who it was, but he was killed by someone hiding in the shadows, and Lian Yun was still present at the time, Shi Zhichuan remembered that the other party did not leave to chase anyone, so how did Lian Yun confirm that the other party was his enemy?
Could it be that he said it during the military execution?
"I haven't seen it." Lian Yun said.
"What's that?"
Lian Yun: "I saw his eyes, that night. ”
Shi Zhichuan: "That night? On the night of Brother Hu's death, Master saw his eyes? The young man's voice was full of hesitation, as if he couldn't understand Lian Yun's words at all.
"Well," Lian Yun bowed, "I can't be mistaken," he thought for a moment about the other party's dark eyes, and said with certainty again, "That's right, it's this person." ”
It was a pair of silent eyes, and at the moment when they met their gaze, Lian Yun almost thought that it was a pair of dead people's eyes, without any look or emotion, so empty that people didn't want to take a second look.
He would never be mistaken!
Shi Zhichuan heard his heartbeat a little faster, and he asked, "Later, Master, how did you meet him?" ”
"On the way to see the leaders of the four gangs." Lian Yun said, because he had just heard the news of the death of the four gang leaders from Shi Zhichuan at that time, so when he felt the murderous aura of that moment, Lian Yun did not hesitate to stop and wait for the other party, and it was precisely because he regarded the source of that murderous aura as the murderer who killed the four gang leaders.
Afterwards, I remembered that he was indeed a little confused at that time, Shi Zhichuan had said on the way to take him to find Yu Chiheng that the leaders of the four gangs did not smell a trace of blood when they died, but the black-clothed young man at that time was full of blood, and it was so fresh that Lian Yun could smell a warmth.
He must have just killed someone, and at least there was more than one.
Thinking of this, Lian Yun frowned, if it was really a dead person, why has there been no news about Yiqi Lake until now, is this place really chaotic?
But Shi Zhichuan opened his mouth and said: "Yu Chi and Tong Ghost have guessed, because of the proximity in time, maybe the person who killed the four gangs is the Iron Piece Killer, Master, what do you think?" ”
Lian Yun thought for a moment and shook his head: "I don't know." ”
At this time, Lu Shengyuan opened his mouth to speak, he had been packing up the things and listening to Lian Yun and the two of them communicate, and this would naturally answer the two of them: "What happened that night is really a lot to say, and now it seems that there are some traces of the plan in it, because there are too many coincidences that people have to feel so." ”
"First of all, the man I met at the beginning."
Shi Zhichuan: "Man? ”
Lu Shengyuan smiled: "I don't seem to have told you about this matter, after your master and I left the inn that night, he was dispersed by the crowd, and then he met the man who always seemed to be about to fall asleep during the day." ”
Shi Zhichuan frowned: "It's that dead fish eye?" What he didn't expect was that the other party really had a problem.
Lu Shengyuan was a little amused by Shi Zhichuan's description of men, and he nodded: "That's right, it's him." This man didn't know what the purpose was, but it was certain that the explosions we encountered on the road were all done by the group behind him, and it was said that he was ordered to take your master's life that night, but he and his boss," said Lu Shengyuan and frowned, "but they also knew that it was just in vain, and it seemed as if it was just to interfere." However, we don't know the specific purpose yet, maybe he was just sent to test Lian Yun's martial arts. ”
"Did that guy die in the end?" Shi Zhichuan asked.
There were some surprises that the young man would ask this kind of question with a calm face, and Lu Shengyuan, who realized that Shi Zhichuan had changed somewhat, raised his eyebrows: "No." ”
"No?"
"Your master didn't chase after him in the end, I chased him." Lu Shengyuan said
Looking at Shi Zhichuan's expression with some amusement, Lu Shengyuan said with a smile: "What do you look like?" ”
The young man said with some hesitation: "I don't know why, anyway, Brother Lu, you said that you went to chase it, and then I thought that the person was not dead, so I took it for granted." ”
"Xiao Chuan, that's not what you look like." Lu Shengyuan said helplessly.
"Haha, hahaha." Shi Zhichuan touched the back of his head and smiled awkwardly.
Seeing him like this, Lu Shengyuan didn't have much to say, just like Lian Yun's reaction before, and the meaning expressed by Shi Zhichuan's appearance now, the reason why Dead Fish Eye was able to escape, Lu Shengyuan's intention to let him go, was a large part of the reason, so he really had nothing to say.
You can't sue these two people that this is a long line to catch a big fish, right? In order to avoid greater retaliation after killing someone, sometimes it is also important to release someone, of course, it depends on the timing.
Lu Shengyuan, who had no intention of quibbling, had no choice but to continue the previous topic-
"At that time, I sensed that something was wrong, so your master left to find you first. Here he learned from you the news of the death of the four gang leaders, and then on the way to the conference venue to check the corpse, he met the young man in black, the president is three things, and the time is so close, aside from the accidental encounter with the young man in black, that is, the iron killer. The death of the leader of the four gangs before, and the appearance of the dead fish-eyed man seemed to have been discussed. ”
Shi Zhichuan frowned: "What does Brother Lu mean is that it is possible that there is a connection between them?" ”
Lu Shengyuan shrugged: "I don't know about this, after all, these are just speculations, and now everything is a mess, and what can be known now is far from explaining everything in front of me." ”
"Whether the Iron Sheet Killer killed the leaders of the four gangs, or those were done by other people in the evil way, or whether the Iron Sheet Killer is also related to that kind of organization that uses gunpowder, it seems that it will be impossible for us to know the truth for a while." Shi Zhichuan was a little lost.
Lu Shengyuan comforted: "It is impossible for things to be revealed to the world all at once, since the other party has done it, he has also prepared doubts that make us dizzy." You see Wei Chi, although he is obsessed with solving the case, he also knows the current situation, and the doubts that he can know to solve may not make him understand everything, patience and caution are essential things, and it takes a long time to persist if you want to know the truth. ”
Shi Zhichuan nodded, and then asked Lian Yun, "Master, can you tell me what he looks like?" I don't want to know that the other person is my enemy next time I meet. ”
Lian Yun: "" Then he moved his gaze to the bags that Lu Shengyuan had already packed.
Lu Shengyuan: "They haven't come back yet, let's wait." ”
