Bi-monthly (Seven)
If it weren't for Li Yu'an's sudden appearance that attracted the attention of the gang of black-clothed people, Bai Wan would not have had a chance to take advantage of his unpreparedness to injure two of them, and took advantage of the gap they were exposed to escape. And Li Yu'an saw that Bai Wan had escaped, so he turned his head and ran away.
Fortunately, the men in black didn't seem to have the idea of catching up, and if one assassination failed, there was no chance for a second assassination. That's the killer, success or failure is between this one time.
Li Yu'an and Bai Wan didn't know how long they had been running and how far they had run. I only know that when they stop, the body is already exhausted.
Bai Wan was panting with her waist in her arms, while Li Yu'an was a little embarrassed, and sat directly on the ground, her whole body sore.
After all, he hadn't received professional training like Bai Wan, and it was good to be able to run with her for so long.
In fact, if the two really face the gang of men in black, it can be said that they have no chance of winning at all. But if it hadn't been for Li Yu'an's sudden appearance and attracted their attention, it is estimated that Bai Wan would have died in that small alley tonight.
The moon is dark and the wind is high, and it is the time to kill.
"If you dare to love you, you also have an enemy. Li Yu'an sat on the ground and looked up at her. He asked, gasping for breath.
"In our business, there will always be a few enemies. It's just that I don't know who it is this time. Look at their skills are a bit like the forbidden army of the Prince's Mansion, but why did the forbidden army of the Prince's Mansion appear here. Bai Wan's mind carefully recalled the fierce battle that had just happened in the alley, those men in black seemed to be similar to the Prince's forbidden army, but she couldn't figure out why the Prince's forbidden army would come to assassinate her if it was really what she thought?
"You mean the forbidden army in the prince's mansion? That's the prince's personal guard, no wonder he is so good. Li Yu'an was a little surprised, it really makes sense to say that they are vigorous and decisive.
"Why did they come to assassinate you? Could it be that you provoked which prince?" Li Yu'an wondered.
Bai Wan shook her head thoughtfully, "Our six doors have always been friendly with the princes of each family, and besides, the forbidden army of the prince's palace is not allowed to make a move in public. ”
"What's going to happen because of that?" just as they were both puzzled, they suddenly felt a guess pop up in their heads, a very terrible guess.
The two looked at each other in unison.
"Do you mean ......?"
"Ledger!"
It seems that if this speculation is substituted, then everything makes sense.
"King Sun Qiu of Jingping, I have heard of this emperor's uncle. Bai Wan turned her back and thought about all the news about this person in her mind.
"I heard my master say before that when he didn't come to Liumen to do martial arts training, but when he was beside the Son of Heaven as the commander of the forbidden army, he heard that Sun Qiu, the king of Jingping, was also ambitious. As the emperor's own uncle, he also has royal blood in his body. Although he has no military power in the open, he can be friendly with the commander of the border army in private, and as for whether there are private soldiers and horses in secret, I am afraid that only he knows it. ”
Li Yu'an stood up and patted the dust on his buttocks. "If you raise soldiers and horses, where will the food and salary supply come from? The accounts on the surface must be clean, but they can be ...... privately" At this point, he stopped talking, and both of them knew it. If you are raising soldiers and horses, then food and salary must be the most important. But where does this food come from?
"Sun Qiu has such a large turnover in a small casino, there is only one possibility. ”
He turned all the running water in his accounts into food and wages, so that he could feed his soldiers and horses. Li Yu'an continued with Bai Wan's words.
"Can it be understood in this way, Qian Sansan and the three people undoubtedly saw the account book, and then discovered this secret. In order to protect themselves, they tore up the most important ledger page as a talisman, but who knew that someone had already killed them behind their backs. Bai Wan nodded, as if the case had already been revealed in her heart.
If that's the case, the lost ledger should still be in Qian San's hands. But we don't know where he hid it. ”
The two solved all their doubts in an instant, but if it was really as they thought, this serial murder case could have evolved into a shocking case related to the rise and fall of the country.
A hint of hesitation flashed in Bai Wan's eyes, when the rise and fall of the country was in front of him, it would really make people feel at a loss. After all, the responsibility is too great, and the ability is too small.
"Then you will be targeted by that Sun Qiu. Li Yu'an looked at her, his eyes full of worry.
But Bai Wan didn't seem to have the heart to listen to him, she just froze in place, not knowing what she was thinking.
Li Yu'an was also a little helpless, after all, when this kind of thing happened, no matter how strong the mind was, no matter how strong the mind was, he couldn't make a decision at the first time.
"You definitely can't go back to the six doors, otherwise, you go to my house first, my house is on the other side of the river, relatively remote. It's still hard for them to find us. Li Yu'an stepped forward and patted her on the shoulder, and the latter reacted.
"If I go to your house, I won't get you in trouble. You're an outsider, so it's better not to get involved. Bai Wan shook her head, she was in such a situation now, she really didn't want to cause trouble for others.
"Then tell me, do you have any other place to go? If you go back to the six doors, it is better to find a place to settle first, and then find out the evidence with peace of mind. As for whether it will cause me trouble, don't worry. I'm afraid of everything, but I'm not afraid of trouble. Li Yu'an said with a serious face. From his face, Bai Wan could see that he was resolute and serious, he was not related to him, and if he helped himself in such a situation now, he would take his life.
For a while, Bai Wan didn't know what to reply.
"Okay, but you have to promise me that if anything happens in the future, you can run. If you get hurt because of me, I'll feel guilty. Bai Wan lowered her head and didn't look at Li Yu'an again. For some reason, there was an indescribable emotion rising from the bottom of her heart, which made her a little nervous.
"Okay, let's go, it'll be a problem to be caught up by those guys later. With that, he turned and walked forward.
Bai Wan followed his footsteps, and the two disappeared into the night.
What Bai Wan may not have seen was that the moment Li Yu'an turned around, a strange smile appeared on his face.
Killers aim to kill people and only look at the results. And the real killer will enjoy the process of slowly catching the prey. Since I killed you, I have to kill you with my own hands. Dying at the hands of someone else is a killer's shame.
............
"Mother, I'm back. ”
crossed the river by moonlight, and when he arrived at Li Yu'an's house, it was already late at night, and the moon hung in the night sky, faintly emitting a glow.
Li Yu'an's home is hidden in a small forest, surrounded by silence and no people. The house is not big, not simple, but in the eyes of the rich in Kyoto, it is just the size of a stove room.
Li Yu'an patted the wooden door and shouted loudly. It is estimated that the people in the house have already fallen asleep, and it took a long time before they answered.
"Stinky boy, you still know how to go home!" said the middle-aged woman angrily as she opened the door.
"It's not like the store is busy on weekdays, and I finally got rid of it, so I came back overnight. Li Yu'an said with a smile that he has always been so hippie and smiling for his mother.
"Yo, why is this little girl still injured?" The middle-aged woman ignored Li Yu'an, but pushed him away and walked in front of Bai Wan, who was standing behind her.
"I didn't ...... It's okay aunt, I just accidentally got it. Bai Wan was a little embarrassed for a while, so she could only find a lame reason at will.
"Yo, the little girl's fine skin and tender meat, you still have to be careful. Mother Li said with concern.
Bai Wan nodded, a little embarrassed and speechless.
"By the way, I forgot to introduce you. This is Bai Wan, a friend I met while working in the store. Li Yu'an pulled Bai Wan to his side and introduced Bai Wan to Li's mother.
Although Bai Wan is dressed in plain clothes, her appearance and temperament do not look like a female worker doing rough work in the store, but like a young lady from a large family. However, the girls that Li Yu'an has brought home in the past two years can't be counted on one hand, and Li's mother has long been used to it, so she didn't say it.
"Stinky boy, why are you standing stupidly at the door, and you don't bring the guests to the house to sit. Mother Li glanced at her and said with a smile. Turning his head to look at Bai Wan, who was speechless, his demeanor changed in an instant. "Bai girl, have you eaten, you must be hungry so late, I'll go and make you something to eat." ”
"No, no, no, no aunt, we've eaten. Bai Wan hurriedly shook her hand after hearing this, feeling a little nervous.
"Then let's go into the house, the family is small, so let's take a look first. Mother Li's tone was very gentle, and her attitude towards her own son was like a judgment between the two, which made Li Yu'an think to herself: Sure enough, he is his own son, and he is not welcome at all.
Li Yu'an led Bai Wan into the room and sat down, and after getting a glass of water, he walked into the room and closed the door. Bai Wan sat alone, didn't drink water, didn't say anything, and the scene was a little embarrassing for a while.
"White girl, drink a glass of water, and treat this place as if it were your own home. Mother Li walked over, looked at her and smiled.
Bai Wan smiled and nodded, then took a shallow sip of the glass of water in front of her.
"This kid, I've been wild since I was a child, I usually can't control him, and I'll have to trouble the white girl to take care of this kid for me in the future. Mother Li pulled a chair and sat next to Bai Wan and said with a smile.
Bai Wan could only smile in return, and she really didn't know what to say. After all, this was the first time I went to a man's house, and it was still in the middle of the night. It really feels a little constrained
"This kid, I haven't had a father since I was a child, even if I'm a father and a mother, I finally hope that he will grow up. No, I'm running outside every day, and I'm finally going home, and I'm going to leave again after a long time. Mother Li sighed, a hint of gloom flashed in her eyes.
Mother Li's words in front of her touched Bai Wan. Although he was born in a large family, his mother was sick in his early years, and his father was busy with business, neglecting to care about himself, and he never experienced what maternal love was since he was a child. Later, she met the master, and it was the master who made her realize what warmth is. It's been a long, long time since she's seen her father, and at this moment, she suddenly feels a little homesick.
Mother's love is a nag, a bowl of hot soup, a robe, and a word of concern. And all this is also a luxury for her.
"I'm going to see this stinky boy. The corners of Li's mother seemed to have some mist in the corners of her eyes, she wiped them casually with her hands, and then got up and walked to Li Yu'an's room.
Bai Wan looked at the back of this mother, and there was an indescribable sourness. Maybe for her, her son is doing well, that's the best.
