Lin Qingqing stood at the gate of the academy and took a deep breath before slowly raising his feet and walking in.

As soon as I entered, I saw Su Mian walking over from her room, and I couldn't help but be surprised when I saw her, and asked worriedly: "Qingqing, where have you been so late, I still want to discuss something with you, but you are not in the room, I thought you were resting." ”

Lin Qingqing stood in front of Su Mian nervously.

Obviously, she hasn't had time to do anything now, and she can't face Su Mian calmly, even if it's just a meeting of eyes, she is so flustered that she can't control her heartbeat.

Su Mian slowly approached, and now in front of her, seeing that she was a little stunned, she stretched out her hand and shook it in front of him: "What's wrong, what do you think?" ”

"Huh?" Lin Qingqing came back to his senses suddenly, smiled awkwardly, and said hurriedly, "I didn't think about anything, I was just a little bored so I went out for a walk, Ah Mian, it's late today, I'm a little tired, I want to rest early, let's talk about it tomorrow, I'll go back first." ”

Su Mian originally looked at her face and wanted to say a few more words to her.

But Lin Qingqing didn't give her this opportunity at all, and walked directly past her, without looking back, the pace was quite fast, and it seemed that she couldn't wait for a moment.

Su Mian didn't think there was anything at first, but seeing Lin Qingqing's reaction so strange, she suddenly felt that there might be something wrong.

But she couldn't guess anything, she stood in place and stared at Lin Qingqing's back twice, retracted her gaze helplessly, frowned and muttered softly: "What's the matter?" ”

Su Mian shook her head, thinking that Lin Qingqing was really tired, so she didn't think much about it, and quickly went back to her room.

And not long after she left, Gong Qianxue also came back from outside.

In the next two days, Su Mian felt that Lin Qingqing's reaction was particularly wrong, as if she was deliberately avoiding her, and every time she made eye contact, she quickly put it aside.

Su Mian finally couldn't stand it anymore, and took the initiative to block Lin Qingqing in the courtyard, frowning and asking softly uncertainly, "Qingqing, are you avoiding me?" Did I do something wrong to make you angry, what's wrong with you in the past two days, weird. ”

Lin Qingqing lowered his eyes, his heartbeat had accelerated uncontrollably, and he didn't dare to raise his eyes to look at Su Mian at all.

She took a deep breath, tried to maintain her composure, and sneered: "No, it's because you're thinking too much, Ah Mian, you haven't done anything wrong, it's me who is a little uncomfortable, and my mood is not high, don't think about it." ”

When Su Mian heard this, he became worried again: "What's wrong with you, if you are really uncomfortable, go back and rest first, there is still me here in the academy." ”

But now in this kind of scene, her concern is more, and the guilt and uneasiness in Lin Qingqing's heart will go up, and she will not know how to face Su Mian.

But even so, Lin Qingqing knew that she couldn't escape, if she dodged, what if that pervert really hurt her family?

Lin Qingqing clenched his fists, mustered up the courage to raise his eyes and glanced at Su Mian, his eyes were already red, and his eyes were full of struggle and pain, as if he was silently saying sorry.

She couldn't say anything to Su Mian, and after struggling for a long time, she only held back one sentence: "Don't worry, Ah Mian, maybe I didn't rest last night, okay, didn't you say that you had something to tell me before?" What's the matter? ”

Su Mian glanced at her suspiciously, always feeling that she had no credibility if she said that she was fine.

But Lin Qingqing's expression obviously didn't want to say anything, and Su Mian also knew that it was inappropriate to continue to ask, so he could only give up, and said softly: "It's nothing, it's just some miscellaneous things in the academy, since you are uncomfortable, then don't bother you, I and Fuji Zixing can also solve it, you can rest well." ”

It wasn't until Su Mian left that Lin Qingqing was in a trance for a long time before he reacted, and returned to his room with a heavy heart.

And in the south, Gu Zhixing also faced the same tricky thing, Qinglan disappeared.

After he sent Qinglan out to investigate that day, after three days, Qinglan still didn't come back, Gu Zhixing thought at first that Qinglan was stumped by something, and the people sent to find it didn't find anything wrong, and there were no corpses that died suddenly in Songyan County recently, so it could be judged that Qinglan was alive.

But the longer the time dragged on, the more unrelieved Gu Zhixing's heart became, Ma Hao was still locked up in a ridiculous firewood room, and Ma Huaiyi didn't have any special actions, Gu Zhixing couldn't see through Qinglan's missing person, would it have anything to do with him. Free Chinese

If so, what exactly does he want to do?

If it is exchanged for Ma Haosheng, why has he not acted?

Gu Zhixing couldn't figure out these questions at all, and he was limited to knowing too little about Ma Huaiyi's investigation in front of him, and he had no way to gain insight into the next move, which made their current situation quite passive.

Song Yi came back from outside, and came back with a cold breath all over his body, and his face was very heavy: "I sent a lot of people to look for it, but there is still no trace, you said that this is not a big Songyan, why is it so strange, such a big person will disappear if he doesn't see it, Lord Wang, although you said that this Qinglan kung fu is good, but after all, it is difficult for two fists to reach four fingers, he won't really have an accident, right?" ”

Gu Zhixing shook his head uncertainly: "Right now, I don't know what's going on." ”

Song Yi looked at him with a solemn expression, didn't want him to worry too much, and quickly said a word of relief: "But lord, we don't have nothing today." ”

"Oh? What to find. Gu Zhixing raised his eyebrows slightly, finally heard a good news, and finally relieved his expression a little.

Song Yi said softly: "The people sent to find Qinglan came back and said that they found a very wrong phenomenon, that is, in the county seat of Songyan County, there were not many residents of Songyan County at all, many of them were foreign people who only came from outside this year, and they usually couldn't see it, and as soon as they found someone to inquire about something, they were all exposed." ”

Gu Zhixing also felt a little strange, and asked: "Outsiders? What about the original Songyan County people? ”

Song Yi slowly narrated: "This is another strange place that we think, many of them have also disappeared for no reason, and the situation is similar to the current Qinglan. ”

In the past three days, Gu Zhixing has been dealing with Ma Huaiyi, and Song Yi has not been idle.

Right now, it's the most unreasonable place he found: "I think it's weird, so I asked people to inquire, but some people insist that their family is dead, and some people say they have moved away, but there are unreasonable places, and even full of weirdness, but it makes people think that those people are strange and missing, they deliberately lie as if they are hiding something, so I have asked people to secretly check again, I always think that if we know about this, we may be able to find out where Qinglan went." ”

Gu Zhixing's face was solemn, and the more he thought about it, the more he felt that something was wrong, and he frowned and asked, "Someone has been missing?" The number of outsiders is even more than that of locals, and when someone in their family goes missing, didn't the county order take care of it? ”

Song Yi nodded lightly, but his expression did not ease in the slightest, and his tone was also very heavy: "I reported the case, but in the end, it was all over, after a long time, the missing people could not be found, and no one reported the case. ”

Gu Zhixing frowned slightly, with a grim expression: "I'm afraid there is a lot of article here, but I didn't expect that just investigating a Ma Huaiyi's corruption and bribery would involve so many things, and there are really a lot of things we don't know about in Songyan County." ”

Song Yi got up and walked around the room twice, touched his chin and said leisurely: "Now it's up to us to see if we can find anything, I always feel that this matter will be very critical, and the prince can rest assured, we have always been in secret, Ma Huaiyi's people definitely didn't notice us, if Qinglan's disappearance is related to them, then in just one year, so many locals have disappeared without a trace, I'm afraid it's also this Ma Huaiyi's ghost." ”

If it weren't for the county order not wanting to investigate, so many people disappeared one after another, how could there be no trace of viciousness, although nothing had been found yet, but Song Yi had already convicted Ma Huaiyi.

In the evening, the people sent by Song Yi to investigate returned.

The two of them came in a hurry, and as soon as they entered the room, they looked very wrong, and their faces were anxious, and one of them said to Song Yi when they entered the door: "Master, now we can explain why these people are now pursuing and trusting the county order of Songyan County, and they all believe that he is a good person, because those who oppose him and question him are all arrested by him." ”

"What?" Song Yi, who had seen a big scene, didn't react for a while when he heard this, and his eyes were full of horror, "Can Ma Huaiyi have such courage?" Impossible. ”

Song Yi's subordinates quickly shook their heads and promised: "What can't be wrong is that we saw with our own eyes that the military advisor around the county commander went to see a family, gave the other party a sum of money, and threatened him not to tell him about the disappearance of the child......

The subordinates spoke too fast, they didn't catch their breath, they stopped and gasped and continued: "It's all because the local people who know the county order are people, don't agree with his tyranny/government, and threaten that he is not worthy of being the county order, but these people who oppose it, as long as they say a bad word about the county order, the next day people will disappear for no reason, and there are many missing people, and the people have no choice but to swallow their anger and dare not complain." ”

Song Yi and Gu Zhixing exchanged glances with each other, and each other's eyes were bright and uncertain.

Ma Huaiyi's courage is inevitably too big, no wonder no matter who they asked or who they inquired about before, they said that Ma Huaiyi was a good county order, diligent and loving the people, but everyone was forced to be helpless.

I'm afraid that Qinglan was also taken away after investigating Ma Huaiyi and saying something bad about Ma Huaiyi.

Gu Zhixing stretched out his hand and pinched his eyebrows, his eyes full of anxiety: "Have you found out where are those missing people?" ”

The people who came and went shook their heads slightly.
