Chapter 8: The Peach Blossom Festival Peach Blossom Tribulation (I)
"Clues?! Really? ”
As soon as Jiang Xiaobai heard the clue, he was excited to snatch Bai Shenting's paper, looking at Jiang Xiaobai's monkey appearance that couldn't be reached by snatching it, Bai Shenting couldn't help but burst into laughter, and his stomach hurt from laughing.
"That must be true hahahaha, eh, don't rob it, what if it's torn, Jiang Xiaobai! Don't touch my waist! ”
Jiang Xiaobai found that Bai Shenting's weakness was the back of his waist, his face was full of insidiousness, and he was tickling his waist, and the itchy Bai Shenting couldn't stand the tears, so he was willing to give up.
"I sent someone to the scene again, and found that under the gaps in the bloody handprints on the wall, there were actually closely distributed maps, so I drew them, sent people to inspect the map, and found that every turning point was a new location."
Bai Shen listened seriously, pointed to the closely distributed branch lines on the map, and carefully explained to Jiang Xiaobai the location and order of each branch line.
"You see, this starting point is the Linglong Pavilion, follow the direction of this Linglong Pavilion, the next location is the Tangshan Temple, the location of the recent Peach Blossom Festival, if the murderer chooses to commit the crime on that day, we can garrison the Tangshan Temple in advance, and arrest as soon as there is a disturbance."
It is true that the branch lines in this map are no different from the routes in reality, but why did the murderer leave clues to expose himself, Jiang Xiaobai felt strange.
But apart from this clue, they had nothing, Jiang Xiaobai had no choice but to take one step at a time, frowning and listening to Bai Shen:
"Now it's just like this, you said that this map is so complicated, the goal is so clear, who will be the target this time?"
Bai Shen listened to Jiang Xiaobai, who was thinking seriously, and it was only when he was about the case that he could see her so serious, and smiled helplessly.
"You don't have to worry, the emperor has already sent troops to garrison Tangshan Temple, as long as that person has action, it will be difficult to fly, but it's a pity that our Peach Blossom Festival can't be easy."
The corners of Jiang Xiaobai's mouth rose slightly, with an excited look, and he shook his head and looked at Bai Shen Ting: "What do you know, what's so fun about the Peach Blossom Festival, there are peach blossoms every year, such cases are rare, I will definitely catch this ruthless person on the same day!" ”
The more Jiang Xiaobai thought about it, the more excited he became, he couldn't hide his smile, and left by himself, leaving Bai Shen to listen to the messy wind.
Why isn't this woman scared at all? While looking at it with disgust, his feet involuntarily followed Jiang Xiaobai.
In a blink of an eye, it was the day of play, Jiang Yan'er was dressed up as always, and was pulled by her grandmother and second aunt at the door to talk long and short, Jiang Xiaobai only wore a simple white skirt and waited silently on the side.
Jiang Yan'er had tears in her eyes, and said proudly: "Yan'er must fight for her grandmother and aunt, grandmother and aunt can rest assured." ”
It's just a matter of children's affection, how to say it is like completing the task, Jiang Xiaobai thought disdainfully, and kept staring at the warm picture of the three of them.
If A-Niang is here, she must be worried about her marriage, Jiang Xiaobai lowered the curtain and closed her eyes in contemplation.
She is envious.
The carriage was swaying, and Jiang Xiaobai wanted to vomit, but the road was far away and it was difficult to stop, so he had to endure it, and Jiang Yan'er really looked much more energetic today.
"Sister, what's wrong? But in the morning, I was greedy and nauseous when I ate too much brown sugar snacks? ”
Jiang Xiaobai nodded with an ugly face, and couldn't help but vomit out, so frightened that Jiang Yan'er ran away from Jiang Xiaobai with her skirt, and shouted in horror: "Stop!" Stop the car! Come in, Xiaoqing! ”
She deliberately changed into a new dress today and smeared the balm of the season, if it was stained, she would really want to cry without tears.
After the carriage stopped, Xiaoqing worriedly helped Jiang Xiaobai down, and rested for a while before returning to the road.
After a long delay, when he arrived at Tangshan Temple, it was already overcrowded, and it could be said that he could get lost if he didn't pay attention, Jiang Xiaobai was squeezed in as soon as he got out of the carriage, and Xiaoqing's shouts gradually disappeared into the noisy crowd.
Tangshan Temple is very lively, full of young handsome men and women walking side by side with red faces, Jiang Xiaobai wandered around alone in confusion, Ben and Bai Shen heard that the good time was gathered at the gate of the temple, how to find it if they missed the time.
The peach blossoms were in full bloom, and the fragrance filled the entire Tangshan Temple, Jiang Xiaobai walked halfway up the mountain, and finally saw Bai Shen listening.
Dressed in a dark red robe, with a black and gold belt tied around his waist, and his hair pulled up high, his temperament was completely different from the past, and he was even more cold and noble.
Bai Shen listened to the red cloth in front of him and fell into deep thought, and the old man of the vendor looked at Bai Shen Ting, and said in a deep voice:
"Good vision young man, the cloth strip I sell is not simple, this red cloth strip in this Tangshan Temple absorbs three thousand years of sun and moon essence gathered, and now in this Tangshan Temple when the peach blossoms are in full bloom, it is the most prosperous time for the peach blossoms!"
Jiang Xiaobai tugged at the corners of his mouth, this is obviously nonsense, he just opened his mouth, looking at Bai Shen listening to the look of serious thinking, he thought to himself that this fool really believed it, right? ?
"The young man happened to be lucky, the old man only sold to people who were destined, seeing that you were decent, the old man felt that he was destined for you, so he sold it to you for a piece of silver."
After the old man finished speaking, he shook his head with pity, as if he had lost, Jiang Xiaobai, who listened to it, was shocked, such a low-level charlatan, this old man was able to say it so calmly.
"Okay, yes."
Bai Shen listened to it for a long time, and picked out two strips of red cloth, one with flower bones painted on it, and the other with branches, which was a bit interesting to see in a row. Jiang Xiaobai grabbed Bai Shenting's hand, his face was full of incredulity,
"Bai Shen heard that you have a fever? Buy two rags for one piece of silver, give me the money, and I will make it for you. ”
Bai Shen didn't react for a while, looking at Jiang Xiaobai's wide eyes, he couldn't help laughing, and said proudly with his chin raised: "I can buy it if I want, you care about me, I think this pattern is a little interesting." ”
After speaking, he tied the red cloth strip of the flower bone to Jiang Xiaobai's wrist with a disgusted face, and deliberately tied a dead knot, looking at his dead knot with satisfaction, with a proud look.
"I'll give you one reluctantly, this flower bone is ugly, it's a pity to lose it like you, I'll give it to you, don't thank me too much."
Jiang Xiaobai twitched the corners of his mouth, looking at the abrupt red cloth strip on his hand, Bai Shen listened to the expression of being beaten, and felt that the cold and noble Bai Shen Ting he saw just now was a fake at all, this Bai Shen Ting who committed a cheap second thing is real, guilty of sin, he is really blind.
"Cut, who is rare, I was unwell this morning and was delayed on the road, what is the situation now, have you found it?"
Bai Shen instantly became serious when he heard this, pulled Jiang Xiaobai and walked towards the crowd, lowered his head and whispered: "I found a person who is acting suspiciously, I have been following him for a while, be careful not to be noticed by him." ”
After saying that, Bai Shen listened and looked at Jiang Xiaobai with a smirk, pretending to look at another place inadvertently, Jiang Xiaobai instantly understood the meaning, and followed Bai Shen Ting's line of sight, a strong and tall back, that side face...... Why does it look familiar?
Come to think of it! It's the guard Tang Li who disappeared!
