Chapter 15: The Murder Spreads.
After Zheng Lin left from the residence of the people in Jianyu Pavilion, he went down the mountain alone and went to the town below the mountain, there was only one school in the town, so it was not troublesome for Zheng Lin to find it, when he came to the door of the school, the sound of Lang Lang reading came from inside.
"At the beginning of people, nature is good, sex is similar, and Xi is far away......"
Zheng Lin smiled and walked in, he saw from the window that the gentleman in the school was copying something, and the students below were reading the three-character scripture together, and suddenly Zheng Lin saw that there was a yacha patrolling at the entrance of the school, so he walked over, and the yacha on patrol saw Zheng Lin and asked.
"Are you a student at the Academy?"
Zheng Lin shook his head and said, "I am a disciple of the Chunyang Palace on the mountain, and I went down the mountain this time to understand some information, by the way, Brother Yacha, shouldn't you be in the county government?" Why is it in the Academy? ”
Yacha sighed: "Little brother, you don't know, since the case of the headless soul came out ten years ago, the county government will arrange for our yacha to take turns to patrol here every day, day and night, just for fear that the things of the year will happen again." ”
Zheng Lin hurriedly asked, "Big brother, do you know what happened ten years ago?" ”
"I'm telling you, don't tell anyone what I said. Ten years ago, eight students in the school were killed overnight, and all of them were headless corpses, and even Mr. Teaching was frightened to the point of madness and finally disappeared. The most terrifying thing is that their rooms are locked inside, and later the people in the town are rumored to be headless souls asking for their lives, this case is still an unsolved case, and no one wants to mention it again. ”
After Zheng Lin learned some more about the situation with the yacha, he returned to the mountain, and at this time, the officials in the town also arrived at the Chunyang Palace, and the officials led by him looked about thirty years old, and after checking Zhao Rui's room, he gathered everyone in Taiji Square and spoke.
"Everyone, I am Ye Lin, the chief catcher in the town, this case has been officially accepted by our government, and I will ask you one by one later, and everyone must not shirk for any reason."
In this way, a new round of interrogation began again, but everyone was still the same as at the beginning, with witnesses and alibi proof, and Ye Lin also made a difficulty, so he had to lead the team to go back to collect evidence first. At noon, Zheng Lin was asking Li Qinlan to teach him some Zixia Gong's internal strength and simple martial arts, when suddenly Zheng Lin saw a girl carrying a basket to their accommodation area, Zheng Lin pointed to the girl and asked.
"Sister Xiaolan, who is that girl? I don't think I've seen it, and what is she doing in our men's accommodation? ”
Li Qinlan looked in the direction pointed by Zheng Lin and replied.
"Oh, she, her name is Xiaoya, because she can't speak, so the head of the house gave her this name, Xiao Ya was adopted by the head of the house ten years ago, when she was about to freeze to death in the heavy snow, fortunately the head of the house saved her life, and then she followed the people in the kitchen to fight, and occasionally the head of the house will teach her some martial arts self-defense. As for your outer door, there is a person named Cui Ziming, because he accidentally fell off the cliff and broke his legs, the head of the house let him recuperate in the Chunyang Palace, and Xiaoya is responsible for his food, clothing. ”
Zheng Lin nodded, and then didn't ask anything more. In the evening, suddenly Dugu Xiao ran to Zheng Lin and asked, "Brother Zheng, where do you have any wine?" I've run out of wine, and if I run down the hill, it will probably be dark, but you don't seem to have any wine to sell! Our helper said that he would come to you for help when he was in trouble, you see, can you help me get some wine somewhere? ”
Zheng Lin scratched his head: "This... If you want to say meat, I can help you, but wine, it seems that only Uncle Shangguan drinks in our entire Pure Yang Palace, why don't you go to him and ask? ”
"Don't don't, forget it, I'd rather die of hunger than go to Shangguan's seniors to beg for wine."
Seeing Dugu's anxious appearance with a smile, Li Qinlan pointed to the cafeteria: "Senior Brother Zheng Lin, you take him to the kitchen and ask, they should have wine there, and they usually put some when they cook food." ”
Dugu Xiao was overjoyed, and hurriedly pulled Zheng Lin to the kitchen, after coming to the kitchen, there was only one girl in the entire kitchen, it was Xiao Ya that Zheng Lin saw before, Zheng Lin hurriedly stepped forward and said: "Sister Xiao Ya, this is Dugu Xiao of Jianyu Pavilion, he wants to come and ask for some wine, because it is getting dark now, if you go down the mountain to buy, I'm afraid it's too late, Sister Xiao Lan said that your kitchen has it, so..."
Xiao Ya smiled, took Dugu Xiao's wine jug, and walked to the corner of the kitchen, next to that corner, there was a large vat, Xiao Ya used a bamboo tube to fill the wine in the vat with Dugu Xiao's wine jug, the latter took the wine jug, thanked again and again, Xiao Ya smiled and nodded, after the two left, Dugu Xiao took a sip of wine and said with a smile.
"Haha, good wine! By the way, Brother Zheng, why didn't the little girl speak? I talked to her for a long time and she just smiled, are we too presumptuous? ”
Zheng Lin shook his head: "Brother Dugu is too worried, Sister Xiaoya's name has a Ya character, and she can't speak, so... You get the idea. ”
Dugu smiled and sighed: "I see! It's a pity that such a kind and beautiful girl, alas ... God is unfair. Raise a glass to invite the bright moon, and the shadow becomes a trio! ”
Looking at Duguxiao's back, Zheng Lin suddenly remembered someone.
"Isn't this poem by Li Bai? In other words, Li Bai, as a member of Changgemen, should also be an NPC in this game, well... Next time, go to him for an autograph. ”
"Oh no! Oh no! Senior Brother Qian was killed! Oh no! Oh no..."
When Zheng Lin heard the sound of shouting, he hurriedly pulled Dugu Xiao to the place where the incident occurred, at the door of the men's dormitory, everyone gathered here, and in this room, another corpse appeared, and the death was exactly the same as Zhao Rui, the head was cut off, and there was no trace, Xiao Yundao, who was sleeping with him.
"The four of us originally made an appointment to go to dinner together, but Senior Brother Qian said that he was a little uncomfortable and asked us to bring him to the room to eat, but a few of us just left for less than a quarter of an hour!"
Li Wusheng frowned: "Don't panic, let's wait for Ye Zhutou to come, now everyone goes back to rest, arrange a few disciples to guard here, keep the scene, and wait for Ye Zhutou to check tomorrow before making a decision, from today on, the number of patrols will be increased by ten groups to ensure that there are people guarding at all times, everyone work hard, take turns to protect the disciples of the sect, all the elders of the outer gate, please work hard, always pay attention to the patrol and security protection of the Chunyang Palace at night." ”
Everyone said in unison.
"Yes, sir!"
After Qin Ruoyun and Zheng Lin went back, Qin Ruoyun hugged his quilt and said, "From today on, I will sleep with you, and I must protect your safety as a teacher." ”
Zheng Lin didn't seem to hear it, sitting there thinking about something, as if he thought of something, but he couldn't seem to remember it.
