"Miao Yu, why don't you eat some pastries first?"

Seeing that Ruohua's mood was getting more and more depressed, Qu Yu only felt some pity in his heart, and couldn't help but say. She had sat in front of her for so long that she had never spoken again except for the previous sentence. He had already ordered to go down and sort out the news related to what Ruohua had said these days, but the two of them sat together, looking a little embarrassed.

Ruohua just glanced at the pastries on the side, and didn't plan to taste them, he looked down at the teacup on the table slightly, stared at it for a while, and the loneliness in his eyes was not hidden, "No appetite, you can eat." ”

"Be in a better state of mind." Qu Yu didn't persuade either, he looked at the girl in front of him with interest, the mask showed her cold breath more and more, she looked like one in a million, but after covering it, it looked even more mysterious, which was very consistent with her calm and calm temperament.

In what he knew recently, it seemed that except for Mo Xu, no one had disturbed the composure of the girl in front of him, it seemed like an older generation, which was incomprehensible, but he had to admire her demeanor.

"Naturally. When it is done, there will be great thanks. Ruohua smiled, the smile was very faint, so faint that it was like a feather crossing the sky, leaving no trace, but it made people remember the fleeting appearance.

"You're polite, if this matter were to me, I wouldn't sit idly by. I am afraid that this case will get bigger and bigger, and if it is not stopped in time, I am afraid that the consequences will be unimaginable. Qu Yu's face gradually sank. There is no pattern in this case, no one knows who is behind everything and who is behind it, as if there are no clues available, and there is no conclusion for hard thinking.

"Thank you. I am afraid that this matter will implicate countless people, and no one knows what will happen in the end. I might as well tell you about my plan, it is necessary to find the Slim Circle as soon as possible, and to expand my power. Ruohua glanced at him deeply, and his tone was solemn, "Then let me ask you, Qu Yu, are you willing to follow me?" Not a master-servant relationship, but an ally. ”

"What do you think you used to convince me?" When Qu Yu heard this, he immediately avoided this question, which made Ruohua frown.

"Share the blessings and share the difficulties." Ruohua's tone was extremely firm, she didn't know how the history here would deviate from its original track, she didn't know if this was the Qing Dynasty she knew.

Both were silent.

There were knocks outside the door, and a person said outside, "Deputy Pavilion Master Qu, all the materials you want have been sorted out for you, do you need to send them in?" ”

"Send it in." Before Qu Yu could answer, Ruohua took the first step. Qu Yu gave her a rather strange look, Ruohua just smiled at him, and then took the wad of paper in the hand of the boy who had just walked over.

After the man left, Qu Yu stared at Ruohua and said three words cautiously, "I agree." ”

"Okay." Ruohua's eyes lit up, she knew that her goal had been achieved, so she threw all the stacks of paper on the table, spread them out one by one, and immediately occupied most of the table, "In this case, let's start from the west of the city." This is the ...... of the past few days in the west of the city."

When Qu Yu heard this, he also walked to Ruohua's side and watched.

An hour later.

The two of them saw the east of the city from the west of the city, and almost all the information that could be collected by the large and small pavilions was in front of their eyes. Ruohua was holding a few in his left hand, and he was also looking at a few in his right hand. The two of them looked at it separately, and the efficiency was not up to speed, and the paper that was almost covered was gradually divided into several stacks.

Fifteen in the west of the city, fifteen in the east of the city, plus one in the palace, no more, no less, exactly thirty-one.

Almost everyone's cause of death is different, and the content obtained by Ruohua is different, and the description of the scene is limited, and there is no special clear description of the scene of the victim, only the description of each deceased.

Those who died suddenly, those who died of poisoning, those who died possessed by evil spirits, those who fell into the well...... Basically, Ruohua knows how to die, and he has seen it all in these thirty-one years.

"What do you think?" Ruohua put down the last few sheets in his hand, put them into different categories according to his own standards, and looked up at Qu Yu with an inquiring meaning in his eyes.

"There is no clear modus operandi, there is no trace to follow, there are almost no points that can be connected, and the thing you were attacked doesn't seem to make sense, although it can't be sure that it wasn't done by one person, but it can't be said that it was done by different people, so it's not so coincidental, right?" Qu Yu turned his head and said towards Ruohua.

"I think it's most likely, it's more than one person." Ruohua continued to look down and began to look, seeming *. Suddenly, she was stunned, and her eyes burst into light, "This is ......"

She saw a layout plan of the suburbs of Beijing, which had been changed in recent days, and several buildings caught her eye. The tall buildings were put together to resemble a knife, and the pattern of that knife was marked at almost every crime scene.

Some are in the shape of a knife, some are a blood-stained knife, and some are in the corner...... But who put it, it can't be said yet, just in case...... It's not just her and those people involved in this matter?

It is also possible that someone made a deliberate mark.

"Do you know the relevant information about these buildings?" Ruohua hurriedly said to Qu Yu, with an eager look in his eyes.

"You doubt these buildings? It's a bit abrupt, and it's very similar to the marks on the scene......" Qu Yu followed, and suddenly his eyes lit up, "Do you think this is a breakthrough?" ”

"The last time I was attacked, I was mainly attacked by arrows, and I didn't leave any knife marks, so maybe there was not just a group of people, I think it was someone else who abducted Slender Away, and the reason why I kidnapped Slender Soul was just to lure us out." Ruohua's approving gaze fell on Qu Yu.

Qu Yu suddenly felt as if he had opened his mouth, "Not only that, this knife is so obvious, even if we don't realize the difference between the two groups, we can still find this place." ”

"Then there should be nothing to do, let's wait and see what happens, and you find someone to help me explore the truth." Ruohua only felt that the hanging heart was put down.

If so, then the people who are actually pushing for this case may be terrible. These clues were found to have nothing to do with this case, and it may even be that the group of people who abducted the slender were deliberately left to mislead others, and the slender may not be seen in those buildings.

Ruohua couldn't stop sneering when he thought of this. It seems that I have calculated a lot or undercalculated some things, and now I have at least a clue to reveal it little by little, which is better than having no clue before. Looking up at the sky that was already noon, Ruohua remembered that he had left the house before breakfast, but now it was better to eat lunch together.

"That's just as well." Qu Yu smiled and said, "Let's pass the meal, it's not okay if you don't eat and get hungry." ”

Ruohua nodded, no objection.

In fact, she doesn't have much appetite now, but she can't sweep Qu Yu's face, so she also responded, and the two sat around a table of eight immortals and ate together.

After it was served, it was only four dishes and one soup, but Ruohua's mood was good because of the breakthrough in the matter, and he ate a little more than usual. The dishes are very ordinary, but they are very delicately cooked. Qu Yu seemed to know Ruohua's hobbies, each dish was very in line with Ruohua's appetite, light but never perfunctory, just light in taste, not casually.

"This yam pork rib soup is good." Ruohua took a sip of the soup, only to feel that it was sweet and light, and it tasted very homely. And she has always had the habit of drinking soup before meals, which is also to her liking. Ruohua looked at the home-cooked food in front of him, and was warmly moved in his heart, "This dish is quite to my liking, but unfortunately I am not much close, but it is a waste." ”

"Where, it's just that today is the day when Wanyun Pavilion focuses on home-cooked food, so naturally you have to follow the local customs, follow the taste, and get fresh. After all, you haven't tasted anything from the mountains and seas, so you can only grab your attention like this. Qu Yu said half-jokingly.

Ruohua smiled and drank a small bowl of soup.

A plate of stir-fried vegetables, a plate of cold tofu, a bowl of yam pork rib soup, a stir-fried pork with green peppers, and a kung pao chicken just happen to coincide, all of which are the most common home-cooked dishes, none of which are time-consuming.

To be honest, the person in front of her always gives her the feeling of a brother, just like Mian, meticulous and can take care of you everywhere. Although Qu Yuren is difficult to contact, after getting acquainted, you will find that he is a very warm-hearted person and very upright.

Ruohua sandwiched a few chopsticks and vegetables, tasted a few pieces of meat, and then soaked a bowl of rice in soup and didn't eat it again, but Qu Yu ate two bowls of rice, and almost all the dishes were eaten by him. Ruohua enjoys this feeling, there is no big difference between men and women, just like ordinary friends sitting there chatting and drinking.

"What's wrong?" Qu Yu saw that Ruohua had been staring at him, a little uncomfortable, and the roots of his ears were also a little hot.

"Just remembering something, it was a long time ago." Ruohua prevaricated casually, and she remembered the scene where she came here to eat with Liu Yun, the kind of scene where she sat down to eat with her, and she was afraid that she would not have a chance to encounter it again.

Ruohua feels that she is like a helpless child, who comes here to explore what she should do, meet the people she should meet, and find people who can tolerate each other.

It turns out that only after losing will you know how to cherish it.

The years are quiet, time passes, and youth flies.

"Tell me when you would want to go back if one day time would turn back." Ruohua asked suddenly, looking up at Qu Yu.

"When I regretted it." Qu Yu replied, almost without thinking.

Ruohua smiled unexpectedly and stopped talking, but the smile seemed a little far-fetched.

Unfortunately, there is no time to go backwards.
