Chapter 194: The People on the Mountain
"It's four."
Fang Xie frowned slightly, and after listening to Qiu Yu's words, he couldn't help but ask: "Four students of the Yanwu Academy have died in two days, and the people from the Ouchi Guards must have been checking, and the courtyard will not be idle, these four people...... Is there anything in common? ”
"Yes"
Qiu Yu looked at Fang Xie and replied, "They are all students in the same class as you." ”
Fang Xie was stunned for a moment, and suddenly felt a little guilty: "When I heard you mention your name just now, I just felt a little familiar. I really didn't expect it to be all in the same class, and I was really too distant from them. Until now, there seems to be only one female student named Marilian who remembers the name. ”
"It's no wonder you."
Qiu Yu said: "You have been locked up in the secret prison of the Ouchi Guards not long after you entered the Martial Arts Academy, even if you want to remember your classmates, it is difficult to remember, the murderer should be a person who understands the rules of the Martial Arts Academy, and he will do it when he is off for three days." But I don't understand, why do you want to attack the students in your class? The three students who died today died no more than an hour apart, and it is speculated that the murderer should be one person, and after killing one person, he rushed to another place to kill the second person. ”
"Who can be so resentful of the students of the Martial Arts Academy?"
Qiu Yu sighed and said, "I came to remind you that it is better for you to return to the Martial Academy." No matter how strong and cunning the murderer is, he doesn't dare to sneak into the martial arts academy to kill people. ”
"Finding where these dead students intersect is the key to solving this case."
Fang explained: "Fortunately, I have someone who can prove my innocence, otherwise it will be associated with me no matter what I think." I just came out of the secret prison of the Ouchi guards, and Yuan Chengshi died that night. And when he died, the right guard soldiers patrolling the city met me on the street. The next day, three more people died......"
Qiu Yu glanced at him and said: "No one will be stupid enough to suspect you of anything, today when the first person died, you were still in the palace waiting for His Majesty to summon you, when the second person died, you hadn't come out of the Taiji Palace, and when the third person died...... What are you doing? ”
Fang Xie smiled and said, "In a deserted teahouse, listen to a talkative boss tell a bloody story. ”
"Let's go back to the martial arts"
Qiu Yu got up and said: "I still have to go to other students, the professors have come out with a lot of people, and it is estimated that the murderer today may not dare to kill again." In the hundred years since the founding of the Great Sui Dynasty, no one has dared to attack the Yanwu Academy, and he will not escape. ”
"Not necessarily"
Fang Xie shook his head: "If he only kills four people and escapes out of Chang'an, who can find out?" No one has ever seen the murderer now, and even if he walks by the door of my shop at this time, no one will recognize him. Unless he really has the need to kill all the students in our class and continues to attack, he may not be caught in a short time. ”
Fang Xie pointed out the door as he spoke, and it happened that a young man passed by and glanced into the room. He was surprised when he saw Fang Xie pointing over, Fang Xie quickly withdrew his finger and smiled apologetically at the man. The man nodded to the other party, and walked away quickly.
Qiu Yu didn't care about this, but said a little helplessly: "No matter what, you can't be outside anymore, go back to the martial arts academy now." I'm going to go to other places to see, these three days are closed, and the students are scattered like sheep when they leave the martial arts academy, maybe most of them don't know that they have been killed. ”
"I'll go with you."
Fang Xie got up and said, "After all, there are some places where it is inconvenient for you to go in and find them." ”
Qiu Yu was just about to say that there was something inconvenient about me, but he suddenly remembered that there were indeed some places that were really inconvenient for him to enter. For example, the Qinglou Painting Boat, and most of those students are playboys, so it's strange not to go to this kind of place. However, because students from military backgrounds are relatively poor, even if they are suspended from class, they often stay in the martial arts academy and do not come out.
She snorted, thought for a moment and said, "Let your friends clean up, and then come too."
Fang Xie thought that when he was imprisoned, the big dog was being watched like the Sanjin Mansion, and if he entered the Yanwu Academy, the three of them would not want to be free. So he shook his head and said, "Since the murderer is targeting the students of the Martial Arts Academy, they should be fine." Besides, it's not easy for someone to mess up in the Sanjin Waiting Mansion. ”
"Yes, too"
Qiu Yu didn't insist and took the lead out of the shop. Fang Xie instructed people to watch the shop carefully, and then followed Qiu Yu out. The two of them walked along the East Twenty-Three Strips, and the next stop must be the Red Sleeve Move. Those golden boys, it would be strange if they didn't go to the red-sleeved and elegant to watch the singing and dancing.
"Mo Wuwu must be going crazy, right?"
Fang Xie asked as he walked behind Qiu Yu, and saw that the young man who had passed by his door before was sitting not far away eating hot noodle soup, swallowing it heavily, and he actually ate a sweat in his head, and he looked so hearty. Fang Xie couldn't help but think, how long has it been since he had eaten a meal like this and slept soundly?
"He hasn't been back since the first person died last night, and if he finds him, the murderer will definitely be dismantled."
Qiu Yu replied, took out his purse and bought two tea eggs at the stall.
The red sleeves are not very far from Fang Jie's shop, and they are all on East 23rd Street. East 23 is the most prosperous street in the east of Chang'an City, and the red sleeves move back to open, which is even more lively. The streets are crowded with pedestrians, and the shouts of hawkers come and go. Especially in front of the red sleeve move, it is simply a lot of traffic. The prince of the prince is a powerful and wealthy gentleman, and if he doesn't enter the red sleeves, it is as if he has lost his identity.
"Sir is waiting here, I'll just go in and find someone."
Fang Xie knew that Qiu Yu was a cold person, and he didn't necessarily like the noise in the red sleeves. Sure enough, Qiu Yu nodded and said, "I'll wait for you at the door, hurry up, I have to go to another house." ”
She didn't pay attention to the eyes of others at all, and calmly ate the tea eggs she had just bought at the door of the red sleeve sign. But he used a clean handkerchief to tie the egg skin, and did not let a piece fall to the ground.
Fang Xie nodded, entered the door and went directly to the second floor to find Xiao Dingdian.
He whispered a few times in Xiao Dingdian's ear, Xiao Dingdian's face changed, and then he got up and ordered his subordinates to kick the stage and beat the drums, and the scene suddenly quieted down after the drumming, Xiao Dingdian personally took the stage and said apologetically: "If there is a son from the Yanwu Academy in the field, please hurry to the door, there is a professor from the Yanwu Academy waiting, urgent." ”
Although her voice was not loud, it was clearly spread throughout the red sleeves, and Fang Xie couldn't help but look at this little girl with admiration. Obviously, she was by no means as weak as she seemed.
After a while, more than 20 young people poured out of the red-sleeved moves, and when they saw Qiu Yu, they leaned over neatly and saluted.
"Now you should immediately return to the martial arts academy together, don't separate, don't go home, you must listen to this as a military order, and you must not disobey it."
"Whoa!"
Although this group of students who had been training in the martial arts academy for more than half a year were all from rich and noble backgrounds, they immediately became solemn when they heard the word military order.
"Sir, what's wrong?"
Someone subconsciously asked, Qiu Yu shook his head: "You rush back to the courtyard first, I will naturally tell you when I go back." ”
……
……
Chang'an City is too big, and it is obviously impractical to contact all the students to return to the courtyard as soon as possible. Fang Xie and Qiu Yu didn't want to delay any longer when it was sunset, and then got into a carriage through the city and returned to the Yanwu Academy. They were accompanied by another student.
And this person is the only female student Fang Xie remembered her name.
Marilyn.
When she was strolling around the street with her two maid rings, she happened to meet Fang Xie and Qiu Yu. Qiu Yu let her go along, and Ma Lilian asked the two maids to go back, and followed Fang Xie and them into the carriage. Ma Lilian, who was sitting next to Qiu Yu, peeked at Fang Xie sitting opposite from time to time, her face was slightly red.
How could Qiu Yu not be able to see this little girl's thoughts, so he couldn't help but smile. With this smile, Ma Lilian's face turned even redder. Speaking of which, she is not a very beautiful woman, and she can barely be regarded as middle-class in terms of appearance. But she is a real rough person, and her face is fierce and ugly, and she is proud to give birth to such a daughter.
Ma Lilian hung her head and didn't dare to look at Fang Xie anymore, staring at her toes a little crampedly. Fang Jie's mind was not on her at all, but he was thinking about who dared to target the students of the Martial Arts Academy. This is in the Great Sui, unless there is an inextricable blood feud with the Yanwu Academy, no one will do such a thing to be implicated and exterminated.
Ma Lilian found that Fang Xie didn't notice herself at all, so she was relieved at first, and then a little disappointed. Fang Jie's gaze kept falling on the outside of the carriage, so Ma Lilian simply raised her head and stared at his side face boldly. The more you look at it, the more pleasing it is to the eye, and the more you look at it, the more fascinating it becomes.
Seeing Fang Jie, she couldn't help but think of what happened on Half Moon Mountain that day. Just when she thought she was going to die, it was this young man who suddenly appeared in front of her. At that moment, she felt that Half Moon Mountain was not as majestic as Fang Jie's back. I don't know how many times in her dreams she would wake up because of that bloodshed, and every time at this time, Fang Jie's figure would become clearer.
Every time the name Fang Xie came to her mind, all the fears brought by the dream would disappear.
The first person who found her different from the past was that she was a general of Lao Tzu Guide, and he was surprised to find that the girl who was like a big man and a big man became a quiet lady after returning home, and did not test her martial arts with the soldiers in the house, but sat in front of the window and embroidered quietly.
My daughter is fucking embroidering!
This simply frightened General Guide, but this father with a rough and straightforward personality did not think that there were great changes in women's personalities, which were often related to men.
"Thank you"
After hesitating for a long time, Ma Lilian still looked at Fang Xie and said seriously. She spoke softly, as if she was afraid of disturbing the contemplative explanation.
"What?"
Fang Xie withdrew his gaze from the outside of the carriage, looked at Ma Lilian and asked. When his gaze fell on Ma Lilian's face, the latter's face irrepressibly floated two red clouds again: "Last time...... In Half Moon Mountain, thank you for saving me. ”
She said in a low voice.
Fang Xie smiled and said, "You and I are classmates, why bother to say thank you?" ”
After saying this, he was suddenly stunned.
"Your name is Marilyn, isn't it?"
Fang Xie asked, a little rude.
"Hmm"
Ma Lilian bowed slightly, not caring about the slightly rude question of Fang Jie.
"Do you know all four people who died?"
Fang Xie asked again.
"Hmm"
Ma Lilian's face changed slightly, and she raised her head and looked at Fang Jie: "Yuan Chengshi, Liu Xu, Song Meiqi, and Li Sihai are all classmates in our class. ”
"They...... Was it all on the same team with you that day? I mean, which team split up later? ”
Hearing Fang Jie's words, Qiu Yu and Ma Lilian's faces changed dramatically at the same time. Ma Lilian thought about it carefully, nodded and said, "Except for Yuan Chengshi, the other three are." But...... Yuan Chengshi was the first to arrive to support besides you, and he arrived only a little later than you. When you fought with the monk of the Buddha Sect, Yuan Chengshi arrived. ”
Speaking of this, Ma Lilian suddenly whispered: "Niu Miao arrived with Yuan Chengshi...... Stop the car! There's the University Scholar's Mansion in front, and I'm going to see her! ”
The carriage stopped on the side of the road, and Marilyn sped towards the compound not far away. The strange thing is that the door of the university scholar's mansion is closed, and even the side door for visitors is closed. When Fang Xie and Qiu Yu walked over, Ma Lilian knocked on the courtyard door, and a steward glanced at it with a somewhat strange expression.
"It's Miss Ma, what's the matter?"
The steward asked.
He looked rude and didn't open the door, but exposed half of his body to speak. It is important to know that the scholar of the Daoist is the most etiquette person, and he is very strict with his subordinates.
"Where's your young lady?"
Ma Lilian asked eagerly.
"Miss...... Passed away. ”
