Miao Miaomiao went to the academy for an appointment on the second day.

The old gentleman of the academy and his young lady stood at the door to greet him.

A few people exchanged pleasantries and then entered the door.

Although this old gentleman's disciple had just died the day before, the atmosphere in the academy was similar to when they came before.

There is no excessive sadness.

Miao Miaomiao deliberately mentioned Cao Shiliang: "Sir, please rest assured, the murderer who killed Shi Liang will definitely be caught." ”

The old gentleman stopped and looked back at her, his wrinkled eyes were very indifferent: "The old man heard that the murderer has been arrested......

"That's just a suspect, not a conviction yet."

The old gentleman only replied lightly and continued walking.

The girl's eyes sneaked into the other.

The young lady didn't seem to be in good spirits, and her eyes were still red.

At this time, the bell rings.

Schoolchildren rushed out of class.

As a result, he almost bumped into them head-on.

A few mischievous schoolchildren put away their frolicking and immediately bowed obediently.

The old gentleman's face was slightly dissatisfied.

At this time, the young gentleman Lin Xi came out with a book in his hand, and was a little surprised to see the old gentleman here, but immediately saluted.

"Hee." The old man straightened his face, "If you are too indulgent on weekdays, it will cause a big disaster." ”

"Students understand."

The man bowed his head and listened to the admonition.

The old gentleman said a few words, glanced at Miao Miaomiao again, and cleared his throat: "Okay, Master Miao is here today, you can also come with us." ”

"But the teacher, the students still have ...... class later."

"Let Ziping do it for you."

"Yes."

Miao Miaomiao originally visited this old gentleman to investigate Cao Shiliang.

Now that Cao Shiliang is dead, she has nothing to ask him about now.

It's just that the real murderer who killed Cao Shiliang is uncertain for a day, and she has always been stuck in her throat.

However, it can be seen that this Lin Xi seems to be the most proud disciple of the old gentleman.

After chatting three sentences, two of them were mentioning him.

And when he still had class just now, he insisted on pulling him out to "accompany him".

"Mr. Lin." Miao Miaomiao winked at him, "Do you know how to equestrian?" ”

"Back to my lord, I don't know how to do it." The other man's eyes drooped, and his eyelashes cast a shadow under his eyes.

"That's right......," the girl looked embarrassed, "next spring, there will be an equestrian competition in the palace...... I still want to find a master to practice, but in this case, I will run aground again......"

"Won't Da Siyu?" Wang Funian approached her, covered his mouth and asked in a low voice.

"That guy is better at riding a donkey than he is at riding a horse."

The old gentleman smiled: "Master Miao, I hope this is humble." In terms of equestrianism, he can also rank first in the academy. ”

After that, he glanced at the man sitting down again: "Xi, you can go with Master Miao, my old bones will inevitably be cold here." ”

The old gentleman left with his wife.

Only Miao, Wang, and Lin were left at the scene.

Lin Xi walked in front to lead the way, and Miao Miaomiao and Wang Funian followed.

"Hiss-" Wang Funian shook his hands and frowned, "Your Excellency...... I think that's a bit weird! ”

"If you don't say it, I know." The girl's eyes were fixed on the straight back of the man in front of her.

"My lord! You also think this is a blind date arranged by the old gentleman, don't you?! ”

Miao Miaomiao stopped, rolled her dead fish eyes and looked at the fat man beside her: "In that case, why don't you avoid it?" ”

Wang Funian immediately showed a cheerful smile, as if his mother was so happy to get married: "Xiaguan will leave!" ”

"......" Miao Miaomiao shook her head, what is this Wang Funian in his head?

Who expected him to walk a few steps, turn around and come back, and said mysteriously: "Don't worry, sir! Xia Guan will definitely not reveal half a sentence! ”

"If you make a louder voice, the whole town of Pure Town will hear it!"

……

Wang Funian finally left.

Lin Xi took Miao Miaomiao to a horse farm at the back of the academy.

There are a lot of good horses in it.

"It's all the teacher's horses here."

"The old gentleman is old, can he still ride?" Miao Miaomiao said, seeing that the man's face changed slightly, she immediately apologized, "I'm sorry!" I have no ill intentions. ”

"No problem...... The horses here are now ridden by the brothers in the academy. The man regained his countenance and pulled out a brown horse from the stable, "This horse is the most docile of temperament, so use this one." ”

Miao Miaomiao stroked her oily and slippery mane, and the corners of her mouth rose: "Although the old gentleman is old, these horses are in the prime of life, so naturally they should be ridden by young people like Mr." ”

I don't know where these words hit him, Lin Xi's hand holding the reins was weak, and it hurt the horse, and the horse's front hooves jumped up, almost stepping on Miao Miaomiao.

The girl's body is elegant, and she easily escaped.

She pretended to be scared and patted her chest, and said in a very contrived voice: "I scared people to death just now~"

The sound made her almost vomit herself.

The man comforted the brown horse: "Lord Miao, it was a despicable faux pas just now." ”

The horse snorted impatiently.

"It seems that no matter how good-tempered a horse is, there are times when he can play tricks."

Miao Miaomiao shrugged her shoulders, "I still don't ride a horse today." ”

"That contemptible man sends the adults back......"

"Hey!" The girl raised her hand to stop him, "I heard that there is a book dedicated to horseback riding, called "Ten Techniques of Imperial Horses", I wonder if Mr. Lin has read a lot of books, have you read it?" ”

"I don't remember ......"

"Mr. Lin must know who in the academy has this book, right?"

The man shook his head again.

The girl frowned: "Isn't that right...... I heard that Mr. Lin borrowed this book just a few days ago......"

"Your Excellency may have misheard, or perhaps the man who told your Excellency had misheard, and the contemptible man had never borrowed this book."

Seeing that the other party answered so confidently, she could only stop asking.

It's just that this book she saw with her own eyes that day Zhuo Ziping was lying on Cao Shiliang's table.

And he personally said that Senior Brother Lin Xi borrowed it.

Could it be that there is a second Senior Brother Lin Xi in this academy?

It's just a book, so why should he hide it?

If he had generously admitted it just now, Miao Miaomiao might not have been suspicious.

But this guy is trying to cover up!

In Cao Shiliang's case, she always felt that something was missing.

Wan Changlin has motives, but some of his actions are inconsistent.

For example, why did he put Cao Shiliang's body in the water tank at the door of his store to raise his suspicion.

Could it be that this guy would think that the government would not suspect him if he did this?

And if the rest of the people kill people and throw corpses, it is much more reasonable, but there is no motive.

Motive for killing......

The tavernkeeper's motive was Zhang Dagen.

Could the motive among them be Zhang Dagen?

When Miao Miaomiao thought of this, she immediately asked Lin Xi if she knew Zhang Dagen.

The man said without thinking: "Didn't that person accidentally fall to his death a few days ago?" The whole town of Pure Town was dressed in an uproar. ”

"That's him!" The girl deliberately diverted the topic, "The one in the prison is just to avenge Zhang Dagen, so he planned the murder plan the day before yesterday!" ”

"But......" She picked up the red maple leaf that fell on the ground, and looked at it against the light, the dark red leaf veins were like blood, "I have never been able to associate Zhang Dagen with Cao Shiliang, and the two don't seem to have any intersection......

"If you want to talk about intersections...... the man looked at her with thoughtful eyes, "Zhuo Ziping has a lot of contacts with him, and this person loves to borrow books from him." ”

There is such a thing!

The girl left a "farewell" and ran away without a trace.
