Chapter 4 Puzzles
Originally, seeing that the fire could not be controlled, Qi Yanping, who had already accepted his fate, saw Hai Wuxian and ignited his vitality again. Hurriedly shouted: "Engong, help me!" ”
Hai Wuxian glanced at him, ignored it, and rushed towards the exit with Yan Chong on his back. Seeing this, the thief shouted and screamed, eager to call back the only life-saving straw.
With a 'bang', a bunch of keys were thrown into Qi Yanping's feet. It turned out that when Hai Wuxian was rushing out with Yan Chong on his back, he saw the key hanging from the waist of the killed jailer not far away, so he hurriedly dragged it down and threw it towards the thief's cell.
"Thank you, thank you." Qi Yanping knelt on the ground and kept kowtowing, there were tears in his eyes, he was really scared to death, and he thought that he was going to confess here in this life......
'Boom' is raging, and the flames are soaring into the sky.
"Where is this?" Yan Chong opened his eyes groggily, feeling that his head was swollen and painful, and the scene in front of him was somewhat familiar, what was going on? Am I not in the dungeon? How did it end up here? Ever since Yan Chong handed over the things to Hai Wuxian as planned, he had been in a coma due to excessive blood loss, and he had no idea what was going on behind him.
"You're awake, this place is familiar, right?" Hai Wuxian, who was standing on the tree watching the situation on Qinglong Street, found that Yan Chong, who was leaning under the tree, woke up, so he opened his mouth to greet him.
Yan Chong looked around and found that this was a jungle not far from the Zhenfu Division's martial arts arena, and because it had been left unattended for a long time, it seemed a little deserted now.
"Because of the curfew, we're going to stay here for a while." The noise outside was the same as what Hai Wuxian imagined, so he didn't continue to watch, but turned around and sent the tree to slide down.
"I'm asking why it's here?"
"Do you need to ask? Of course we jailbreaked. ”
"Impossible, the dungeon of Dali Temple is heavily guarded, and it is impossible for anyone to escape."
"I'm a little surprised to be able to escape so easily!" Originally, Hai Wuxian planned to waste some effort to deal with the guards, but he underestimated the prisoners in the Blood Prison, so that he escaped without any effort.
"What the hell is the 'plan' all about?" Yan Chong didn't seem to be explaining the prison escape when he saw Hai Wuxian, so he simply asked the question in his heart.
"'Plans'? Hai Wuxian asked rhetorically.
"The code that the king handed me the cell!" Seeing Hai Wuxian pretending to be stupid, Yan Chong couldn't help but feel a little anxious.
"By the way, there's a code."
"Why do you use those codes? My master would never have taught you such a prisoner. ”
"It's nothing, it's just a deal with the Iron God Catcher."
"What deal?"
"If you have nothing to do, just take something and exchange these codes with the Iron God Catcher."
"What's that?"
"Are you sure you want to know? The Iron God Catcher knew, but even lost his life. ”
There was a creak, and there was a sound of dead branches stepping on not far from Hai Wuxian, which made Hai Wuxian and Yan Chong's hearts tighten.
"Who?" Yan Chong and Hai Wuxian were frightened together.
Tie Lihua originally planned to explore the dungeon at night, but she didn't expect the prison to suddenly catch fire, and the entire Dali Temple was also in a mess because of the firefighting. When she noticed that a figure had sneakily escaped from the fire, she followed him and followed him all the way here. If it weren't for hearing about the father. She will not carelessly step on the dead branch and startle the other party.
"Rika, why are you?" Yan Chong recognized the person.
"Is what you're saying true?" Tie Lihua stared at Hai Wuxian. If what the other party said is true, then the father's death was not just an accident, but a conspiracy.
"If you tell a lie, you need to make up ten lies to make up for it, why should I lie to you?"
"What did you give my father?"
"Valuable things must be hidden, I don't want to die like your father, and I'm not stupid."
"If you don't say it, I'll kill you right now." With that, Tie Lihua pulled out the fine iron long sword in his hand and pointed at Hai Wuxian.
"Senior sister, calm down!" Yan Chong discouraged him.
"Brother Hai, Pear Blossom was also in a hurry just now, and I hope Brother Hai will forgive me."
Yan Chong stood between Tie Pear Blossom and Hai Wuxian, and Tie Pear Blossom also retracted her sword into the scabbard when she saw this.
"Brother Hai, you and I, as fugitives, believe that tomorrow morning, the imperial court will issue a reward, what are Brother Hai's plans?" Yan Chong was not in a hurry to ask the truth of the matter, he knew that Hai Wuxian would not say it easily, so he interrogated the other party first and then made plans.
"Let's go to the Pacification Division first." Hai Wuxian glanced at Tie Pear Flower Road.
"The dungeon is on fire, and the whole city is under martial law to chase the fugitive murderer, and at this time, if you go to the Pacification Division, it will only be a sheep into the mouth of a tiger." Tie Lihua sneered.
Hai Wuxian looked at her with a strange expression, wondering if the stupid girl in front of her was captured by the Iron God? Don't you understand the darkness under the lamp? Seeing his disgusted look, Tie Lihua clenched her fists with both hands, turned around and didn't look at the hateful face, her eyes were not clean, she endured it in order to know the answer.
At the same time, there is a lakeside outside the capital.
"Master."
Several black-clothed men knelt on one knee and saluted a man in prison clothes, and it could be seen with the help of the moonlight that it was an old Taoist surnamed Mo from the Blood Prison. I don't know what means this old way used to avoid the curfew and escape from the heavily guarded capital.
The praying mantis catching cicadas and yellow finches were behind, and not far from the old Taoist, there was a pair of dark and shining eyes staring at them, and it was a prisoner in prison clothes.
"The old way of the bull's nose is ability. In this way, he escaped from the eyes of the guards at the city gates. ”
In the dungeon of Dali Temple, Wei Yong looked at a pile of ruins and was a little dizzy. At present, the prisoner's escape from prison is said to be a mistake made by the guards of Dali Temple, but Yan Chong has been in prison for less than a day, and it is inevitable that those old stubborn 'eggs and bones' in the court will inevitably be picked in the middle.
The criminal department wants to seize power in the DPRK and China, and he must make meritorious contributions even more. The Zhenfu Division was supported by the new emperor, and he was even more of a minister from the dragon, so he had to worry extra much when the Zhenfu Division and the Criminal Department were playing a game.
After Li Zhu inspected the circle, he walked up to Wei Yong and said with a solemn face: "Master, I asked just now, there are only the corpses of ordinary prisoners in the ruins, and it is difficult to confirm their identities because of the scorching fire. ”
"What about Bloodhell?"
"It's empty, and not a single body has been found except in the ruins."
"Oh?" Wei Yong was a little surprised when he heard the news.
Li Zhu continued to inquire about the news: "I heard that Dali Temple searched for that group of fugitives in the whole city last night, and the Criminal Department also secretly arrested one person last night, I don't know who it is." ”
Is it just a coincidence that the criminal department arrested people? Or is there something deeper behind this? Wei Yong was a little inaccurate.
"Call Zhu Zhao and Chen Ao over, and Pear Blossom."
"Yes. However, the disciple saw that Senior Sister Lihua had only returned to the Zhenfu Division from outside early this morning. ”
When Wei Yong heard that Tie Lihua had only returned this morning, he couldn't help but think of such a big thing that happened last night, and he didn't seem to have seen the daughter of this friend who grew up watching from a young age. Could it be that last night had something to do with her? Then Wei Yong shook his head, he knew Pear Blossom's ability.
"Then find Zhu Zhao and Chen Ao first."
"Yes." Li Zhu received the order, turned around and went back to Zhenfu Si to find the two junior brothers.
.....
When the three of Tie Lihua sneaked back to Zhenfu Division from the suburbs last night, the sky was already hazy. In order to hide people's eyes, Tie Pear Blossom came out of the wall and walked through the main entrance again. Tie Lihua, who returned to her small courtyard, stared at Hai Wuxian.
"See what I'm doing?" At this time, Hai Wuxian had already taken off his prison uniform and was wearing a suit borrowed from Yan Chong.
"What was the 'thing' you said earlier?"
"Yes, Brother Hai, what kind of 'thing' hurt the master who lost his life." Yan Chong is now a fugitive, so he can only stay here with Hai Wuxian.
"A 'thing' can be said to be a secret, or it can be said to be a 'key'."
"You..."I heard some secret mess of the key, which made Tie Lihua feel like she was being played, and she clenched her fists and was about to do it, but she was pulled by Yan Chong beside her.
"I don't know exactly what it is, but I just got some puzzles. When Tie Zhengsha talked to me a little, I knew that he had solved the puzzle. ”
"What puzzle?"
"The ballad of Qinhuai, the scenery of Suzhou, the willow of Chang'an, the flowers of Luoyang. The moon in Bianliang, the sand in Mobei..."
Hai Wuxian paused, raised a finger and pointed at his head, motioning for Tie Lihua and the two to think about it.
"It's all locations and features, and I can't think of any mysteries at all." Yan Chong answered truthfully.
"I can only go to these places for myself." Tie Lihua thought about it very seriously, and then shook her head very pertinently.
"Senior sister, there is such a big case in the capital now, and the whole city is under martial law. All the yamen arresters have official duties, and the Zhenfu Division is understaffed, I am afraid that Wei Yong will not let you leave Beijing. I'll go with Brother Hai for you. ”
"I didn't promise you anything!" Hai Wuxian didn't wait for Tie Lihua to speak, so he interjected.
"It's okay, anyway, you're just my father's prisoner, and you can't solve this kind of puzzle." Tie Pear said slyly. At this time, multiple people have many efforts, which can only excite the sea without envy.
Okay! It's very professional! I also know how to use the agitation method. Hai Wuxian couldn't help but look at Tie Lihua a few more times.
Tie Lihua gives Hai Wuxian the feeling that she has always been a gloomy woman full of thoughts. didn't know that Tie Lihua was just overly focused when solving the case, which gave people a temperament that no one should enter. And her father has been running around for the case all the year round, often ignoring Tie Lihua in order to solve the case, and the only time he promised to celebrate her birthday also broke the appointment, not so much that she had an obsession with her father's death, but that it was a kind of hatred, hating him for snubbing his relatives for the sake of the case.
"You are.... Want my help? Hai Wuxian teased, looking at Tie Lihua with his arms crossed, which means, 'You beg me, beg me, I'll help you.'"
Tie Lihua was entangled for a moment, parted her face behind her, took a deep breath, and turned around with a fake smile that couldn't be fake, "Please help me." "It's almost like a mosquito.
"The martial law in the city has not heard any news about the capture of fugitives, I believe that most of them have escaped from the city, Wei Zhen This person is greedy for power, and in order to make meritorious service, it is estimated that he will soon order the head of the Zhenfu Division to go out of the city to pursue him." After Hai Wuxian finished speaking, he saw that she looked like she had disgusted herself, and she couldn't help but feel funny.
Tie Lihua listened to the words and regretted her performance just now.
