Chapter 53: The Faceless Man

Pei Tan lowered his eyes and walked forward.

Lin Jingjing stumbled behind, her hasty face was buried underneath, and she didn't attract attention all the way.

When he came to the autopsy room, only Pei Xian's cold and electric eyes glanced behind Pei Tan first.

deliberately dressed up similar to Jing Wan'er, who is this woman?

When the door in front opened, Lin Jingjing heard the voice, and finally raised her head and trembled: "Where is this?" ”

The darkness in front of her, the dead breath around her, and the smell of blood in the air all made her eyes black for a while.

Pei Tan walked to the desk of the autopsy, where there was a extinguished oil lamp, he took out the fire fold in his sleeve, gently polished it, and lit the lamp.

At this time, he turned to look at Lin Jingjing: "This is the autopsy room of Dali Temple." ”

Under the candlelight, this small square inch of space was illuminated, and on the coroner's table, the eerie body covered by a white cloth.

Lin Jingjing's body shook violently, as if she was about to fall down in the next moment, tears soon appeared on her pale face, and there were bursts of uncontrollable fear in her eyes.

Pei Tan said lightly: "Pei County, go and close the doors and windows." ”

Pei Xian immediately looked at him and retreated silently.

Lin Jingjing prostrate on the ground. Pei Tan held the oil lamp and helped her arm.

"Miss Lin."

Lin Jingjing was cold and didn't look like a flesh and blood person, she suddenly broke free from Pei Tan and crawled to the coroner's desk with some trembling.

"I swore a long time ago that even if he died, I would collect his body with my own hands." Lin Jingjing knelt next to the covered corpse, her eyes a little gentle.

Pei Tan was silent for a long time, "Pei Xian, go and bring the corpse over." ”

Hearing this, Pei Xian slowly walked past Lin Jingjing and came to the only window in the autopsy room.

He kicked open a moving brick under the window, and the brick fell with a sound, revealing the compartment inside.

In Lin Jingjing's stunned eyes, Pei Xian suddenly stretched out his hand and probed into the compartment, suddenly pulled out something, and threw it on the ground of the autopsy room.

The safest place is the most dangerous place, and this is the best place to hide the destroyed body.

On the ground was a corpse wrapped in a straw mat, similar in size to the one on the coroner's table.

"Lin Jingjing," Pei Tan said in a low voice, "Open it and see, this is the person this official wants you to see." ”

Lin Jingjing's hands trembled at this time, she opened the straw mat, and when she saw the corpse that was no longer recognizable on her head and face, her extremely pale fingers picked up the corpse's hand. It was already scorched, and it was exactly where Zong Chuke and they deliberately destroyed.

With just one look, her eyes were bloodshot.

These hands once made her red sleeves fragrant, and when she held the pen and book at night, she revealed the protruding phalanges.

Lin Jingjing fell to the ground as if she was weak, and when Pei Tan was about to move, she saw her touch the ground with her forehead faintly: "Please sir, avenge Fan Lang's death." ”

Pei Tan paused when he stepped forward, and he looked at Lin Jingjing for a long time: "Are you sure this corpse is Fan Wenjun?" ”

Lin Jingjing's eyes were already blurred by tears: "The people's daughter is willing to use a head as a guarantee." ”

Even if she is reduced to ashes, she will recognize her Fan Lang.

Pei Tan stretched out his hand to help her up, the woman was like a piece of tissue paper, floating and weak from head to toe.

On the side, Pei Xian came into contact with Gongzi's sight, lowered his head and rewrapped Fan Wenjun's body and put it into the dark layer. Just as he was about to fill in the bricks in the corner, "My lord, the folk girl has a reluctant request." Lin Jingjing suddenly said faintly.

Pei Tan looked at her: "You say." ”

Lin Jingjing's eyes moved slightly: "Can you let the folk girl stay alone with Fan Lang." ”

Pei Tan's eyes moved, but he saw Lin Jingjing prostrate on the ground again, "This is the last request of the people's daughter, and then the people's daughter is willing to let the adults send her." ”

After a while, Pei Tan glanced at Pei Xian, and the two slowly walked towards the door.

Lin Jingjing knelt on the ground: "Master Xie is complete." ”

The door was gently shut, and in the cramped and dimly lit autopsy room, only the sound of Lin Jingjing's breathing alone.

About half an hour later, Lin Jingjing walked out of the autopsy room with a pale face, she lowered her head, followed Pei Tan back to the study, and entered the bedroom through the secret passage.

Jing Wan'er immediately got up from the bed, she wanted to ask, but when she saw Lin Jingjing's face, she knew that she didn't have to ask anything.

"As long as she can avenge Fan Lang, the folk girl is willing to wait for any dispatch from your lordship." Lin Jingjing said, and suddenly knelt down.

Jing Wan'er couldn't help but say, "As long as you cooperate with adults...

Lin Jingjing suddenly said coldly: "I know who killed Fan Lang. “

It wasn't just Jing Wan'er who was shocked by her words, Jing Wan'er's expression changed slightly, and she suddenly looked at Pei Tan.

Pei Tan also had deep eyes: "Lin Jingjing, do you know what you're talking about?" ”

Lin Jingjing was seriously injured and in a coma before, and now she has just woken up, and found that her beloved Fan Lang has died unexpectedly, and even the body has not been saved. Ordinary people are hit by this, and they generally collapse.

Lin Jingjing raised her head suddenly, and a kind of stubbornness burst out in the eyes of this woman who was weak before: "The folk girl knows that the folk girl is not delirious, and today, since the folk girl has picked up a life, the folk girl just wants to avenge Fan Lang." ”

Jing Wan'er slowly walked towards Pei Tan and said in a low voice: "My lord, Lin Jingjing has suffered a big change, maybe there is something we don't know. ”

sent so many killers to hunt down Lin Jingjing, thinking about it carefully, it is indeed very strange.

Lin Jingjing's head slammed on the ground several times, and when her body was weak, she was held by Jing Wan'er. She looked up at Jing Wan'er's soft gaze, "Thank you, Miss Wan'er." ”

The tears in Lin Jingjing's eyes slowly flowed down, and Pei Tan and Jing Wan'er had already glanced at each other in mid-air, "Today, you can rest first, this official is in this Dali Temple, and you can listen to you at any time." ”

As he spoke, he turned and left through the secret passage.

In fact, Lin Jingjing is desperate and sad now, Jing Wan'er is more suitable than Pei Tan in terms of identity and temperament. Besides, there is no need for Pei to talk about being here, this night, Lin Jingjing is bound to say everything to Jing Wan'er.

——

Jing Wan'er looked at Lin Jingjing's figure that was about to fall asleep, and the corners of her eyes and face were still undried tears. She wrung a towel and gently wiped her face clean.

is also the end of the world, Jing Wan'er doesn't think that she is much better than Lin Jingjing.

After silently looking at Lin Jingjing's sleeping figure for a long time, Jing Wan'er got up and opened the door of the secret passage.

"Your Excellency." She lowered her eyebrows and stood in front of Pei Tan, "This matter, I'm afraid it's not as simple as we thought." ”

Pei Tan looked at her, Lin Jingjing must have said something to Jing Wan'er, so that Jing Wan'er would be so dignified.

Jing Wan'er's expression was indeed unusual, and she said, "My lord, Lin Jingjing said that she has been to Wenxi Inn several times to tidy up the room for Fan Wenjun. She said that Fan Wenjun rarely intersects with people, and prefers to read books in the room most of the time. ”

According to the inn guys' contempt and negligence for Fan Wenjun, Fan Wenjun's loneliness and autism can already be explained.

Jing Wan'er continued: "But just before the fifteenth day of this month, that is, a few days before Fan Wenjun's disappearance, Lin Jingjing found that Fan Wenjun came back very late one day, and he seemed to be preoccupied, Lin Jingjing asked him what happened, and he refused to say, the most important thing is that from that day on, Fan Wenjun changed his usual gentleness and began to drive Lin Jingjing away. ”

A scholar with a kind and gentle nature, suddenly changed his temperament, and he spoke ill of his beloved woman, and he couldn't accept anyone who was Lin Jingjing.

So Lin Jingjing did one thing, that is, she pretended to leave the inn, but actually returned quietly, and happened to see a strange man who went to the inn to find Fan Wenjun. She said that when Fan Wenjun faced the man, the look on his face was scared. Jing Wan'er said very cautiously and clearly, obviously repeating Lin Jingjing's words carefully.

Pei Tan said quietly: "Strange man? Lin Jingjing saw the appearance of this person? ”

Lin Jingjing said that she knew who killed Fan Wenjun, could it be related to this strange man?

Jing Wan'er's eyes were dark, "She said, that person is wearing a hat and brocade clothes, and he is not compatible with the inferior inn of Wenxi Inn. The man quickly entered Fan Wenjun's room, and Lin Jingjing waited downstairs for a morning, but did not see the man appear again. Afraid of arousing suspicion, she left the inn. ”

It's strange here, Fan Wenjun is just a down-and-out candidate, who would deliberately close the door to him for a morning. Lin Jingjing's mouth said that this man was already very strange when he was dressed so luxuriously, and who was wearing a hat specially seemed to be afraid that people would recognize him.

Pei Tan understood why Jing Wan'er said that this matter was not simple.

It sounds like Fan Wenjun must have experienced some unspeakable things before his death, and even his closest beloved woman, Lin Jingjing, couldn't tell them. even had to use the way of driving away Lin Jingjing to protect her.

Jing Wan'er looked at him for a long time and said, "She said that one day she heard someone call out to that man, Liu Gongzi..."

Pei Tan's eyes flashed, Liu Gongzi? Liu Gongzi?

Those who can be called sons must be the children of noble families in Chang'an City, and what is the purpose of this "son" who wears a hat and is not recognized, and is entangled with Fan Wenjun, a son of a poor family?

Lin Jingjing said that Fan Wenjun was afraid of this "Liu Gongzi", why was Fan Wenjun afraid?

Pei Tan has read Fan Wenjun's article, so sharp and not afraid of the powerful, how can he be afraid of a person for no reason?

Jing Wan'er lowered her eyes: "Lin Jingjing's side, I can only know so much." "The rest of the matter should have been thoroughly investigated by Dali Temple, however, Jing Wan'er felt a sense of powerlessness.

She once told Lin Jingjing that no matter how deep the water was, Pei Tan would definitely investigate it thoroughly, giving Lin Jingjing an unwarranted hope, but now, this hope seems to be about to be shattered in person in Jing Wan'er.

I only know that a nameless and faceless person who doesn't know whether the surname Liu or the surname Liu is like looking for a needle in a haystack in Chang'an, even if Dali Temple and Pei Tan have the ability to penetrate the heavens and the earth, how can they find it?
