When Zhang Yue and Ji Rumo returned to Lize Xuan, they found Yuan Mo, Xiaotong, and A Jing waiting in the courtyard. When they saw them coming, they all hurried to them.

"Young Master, are you back?"

"Zhang Xiaowu, where are you messing around again?"

"Childe, are you alright?"

Rumo nodded to Ah Jing, signaling that it was okay, and Zhang Yue said with a relaxed face: "I went down the mountain with Ji Gongzi for a visit, and I just came back." ”

"Why didn't you tell me when you went down the mountain, I asked the disciples guarding the gate of the courtyard, and I found out that you went down the mountain for that case? Didn't I promise you to go with me? Why don't you come to me? You're coming back so late, and you're guts! Dare to walk in the mountains at night?! Don't you know how dangerous night roads can be in the mountains? Tell you a few times, you can remember ...... for a long time" Yuan Mo scolded with his head and face.

Zhang Yue's aura weakened instantly, and he complained about Yuan Mo in his heart, outsiders didn't give him any face when he was present, he knew that he was at a loss, and he was still stubbornly arguing,

"The master asked me to accompany Rumo, and I also acted according to the master's wishes. Besides, besides, I'm not walking the mountain road alone, Rumo is with me! ”

Yuan Mo's eyes deepened, and he looked at Zhang Yue and Rumo a few times, "Hmph! I didn't expect that after only knowing each other for a few days, we went to the next mountain together, and you knew each other so well that you all called him by his name. ‘’

When Rumo heard this, he also glanced back at Yuan Mo, and his eyes seemed to pass a trace of indescribable look, and then returned to normal.

Ah Jing also opened his mouth next to him at this time, "Childe, your body is expensive, Ah Jing is still close to you at all times, and let some senseless idlers take you into danger." As he spoke, he glared at Zhang Yue viciously.

Zhang Yue knew that he had provoked public anger, and he didn't dare to speak up.

Rumo drank Ah Jing's words, "Ah Jing, don't be rude, I want to go down the mountain for a walk, and I beg Zhang Gongzi to take me there." After speaking, he glanced at Yuan Mo intentionally or unintentionally.

After hearing this, Yuan Mo stopped counting Zhang Yue, and looked at Rumo, his expression unfathomable.

Xiao Tong said beside him at this time, "Young Master, you and Ji Gongzi went into the house to rest, you ran all day, tired and hungry, right?" ”

Zhang Yue hurriedly answered, and said with a smile, "Yes, yes, let's go in first, Xiaotong, I'm not hungry, I'm just thirsty, you quickly make a big pot of tea and send it to the stone table in the courtyard pavilion, Yuan Mo, I still want to tell you about the case, let's go into the courtyard to talk!" ”

Yuan Mo flicked his sleeves, turned around and entered the courtyard, and the others followed. Everyone sat down around the stone table, Xiaotong made tea, poured it for everyone, Zhang Yue drank a large cup of tea, quenched his thirst, and told everyone about the investigation during the day. He took out the file in his arms and let everyone read it.

"That's it, do you have any ideas?"

Yuan Mo didn't squeak, picked up the teacup, and slowly turned the teacup. Rumo didn't speak, lowered her brows, thinking about something. Ah Jing beside him didn't seem to care about himself, without the slightest expression. Xiaotong kept pouring tea for everyone.

Zhang Yue was stunned, "Yuan Mo, Rumo is a guest who is not good at expressing his opinions, why don't you speak?" ”

Yuan Mo sneered, "Hmph, I've only known each other for a few days, so it's so close?" Your fool is sick again, and if someone throws you a meat bun, you will treat others as your best friend! ”

As soon as he heard Yuan Mo start talking nonsense again, Zhang Yue hurriedly glanced at Rumo, and saw that Rumo's expression was as usual, not like angry, but he just picked up the tea bowl and took a sip, and put it down steadily.

Zhang Yue secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and hurriedly explained, "Yuan Mo, what nerves do you have?" Rumo is a humble gentleman, not as stingy as you! ”

"Why am I being stingy?" Yuan Mo retorted.

"Then you've solved the case?"

"Zhang Xiaowu, let me tell you, you don't have to provoke me! Didn't your uncle also tell you that this case is not as simple as you think, and the murderer's background is probably very deep, so the county order must be under a lot of pressure before the case is closed in a hurry. I think you'd better leave this matter alone, so as not to get into trouble. ”

"Xiaotong, what do you say?" Zhang Yue turned to ask Xiao Tong, who was pouring tea, and Xiao Tong also helped, "Young Master, I think what Young Master Yuan Mo said is quite right, you better leave this matter alone." ”

Zhang Yue looked at Rumo again, Rumo had just finished drinking a cup of tea, Xiaotong poured him another cup, he was gently blowing the tea leaves floating on the tea surface...

Forget it, don't be embarrassed, this matter has nothing to do with him, people meet you in Pingshui, but they treat you as a friend, and they have done their best to accompany you to investigate the case.

But do you really care about it, let the singing girl die unjustly, and let the other missing girls fend for themselves?

Zhang Yue looked at everyone and had an idea in his heart. Pick up the teacup on the table and drink it down. Then he said in a firm tone,

"I know that it is for my good that you advised me not to leave this matter alone, but the deceased woman is not the only one missing, but only her body has been found, I think maybe her death was an accident of the murderer, the other two missing people have not been heard from, I have a feeling that they are still alive. Now that the government has given up on them, if we give up on them too, what awaits them next may be a dead end. ”

Hearing Zhang Yue's words, Rumo's hand that was about to take the teacup slowed down, and then returned to normal, and Yuan Mo's face also twisted towards her.

"So I decided to give it a try and save them. Tomorrow, I will take a few days off from my senior brother and go down the mountain to solve the case, no matter what the result is, I will bear it alone. I'm very tired today, so I won't be with you. Rumo, you have worked hard today, so rest early. After speaking, Zhang Yue smiled at Ji Rumo, and then turned around and went back to his room. The movements and words were as fluent as flowing water, and by the time everyone reacted, the door of Zhang Yue's house had already closed.

Yuan Mo's angry voice came from outside the house, "Xiao Wu, what do you mean, what are you going to do?" You come out for me. ”

"Young master, young master..."Xiao Tong also shouted anxiously.

"Little Five..."Zhang Yue seemed to faintly hear a sound like ink in everyone's shouting, maybe he heard it wrong, in the end, he still knew each other slightly, and this matter had nothing to do with him. She didn't care, and locked the door.

The voice outside sounded for a while, and Yuan Mo seemed to be tired of persuasion, so he went back to rest. Tranquility was restored in the courtyard.

After Zhang Yue finished washing, she lay on the bed, thinking about the case in her heart, she had also helped Jin Cheng solve a few small cases before, but each one had Yuan Mo's help, Yuan Mo was meticulous, rigorous in thinking, and extremely smart. Without his help this time, she had to stiffen her brows when she said the big words just now, so she took out the case file and checked it carefully, and actually found a few clues.

First, several of the women are not locals, all of them have recently come from other places to live in the local area temporarily, so they are all fresh faces in the local area, and it is difficult for the murderer to pick such a woman to attack, and it is difficult to be noticed if she disappears.

Second, several women had appeared in the east of the city before they disappeared, so the east of the city is likely to be the scope of the murderer's crime.

Third, it was previously inferred from the clothes of the deceased that the murderer should be either rich or expensive, and now he can influence the decision of the county order, and the power of the murderer cannot be underestimated, if you want to bring the murderer to justice, you must have all the evidence. So what to do? ......

Suddenly, a bold idea flashed through Zhang Yue's mind...... Well, it seems that this is the only way, and this will be done tomorrow.

After having an idea, Zhang Yue's brain relaxed, her eyelids became heavier and heavier, and she fell asleep at some point, and when she opened her eyes again, it was already the next morning, and after she got up, she hurriedly packed the items she needed to go down the mountain.

She pushed open the door and was immediately stunned, there was a person standing under the laurel tree in the courtyard, dressed in white and fluttering lightly in the night breeze, indescribably elegant, this man seemed to be admiring the cinnamon in the courtyard, and seemed to be thinking about something. When he saw Zhang Yue come out of the room, a faint smile appeared on his lips, pure and fresh as a freshly sprouted young leaf in spring.

Zhang Yueyi was stunned, reacted for a long time, and stammered, "Rumo, you, why are you standing here?" ”

Ji Rumo walked over, the white robe he was wearing today, a pair of clear eyes under the long eyelashes were very bright, the morning sun reflected on his back, the whole person seemed to glow, and Zhang Yue was in a trance again.

"Little Wu, are you going down the mountain?"

"Well, I'm going to ask Senior Brother for a few days off now, I'm sorry, Rumo, I can't continue to accompany you in the academy these days, but I will tell Hao Xiaotong, what do you need in the academy, just tell him."

"Little Five, are we friends?"

"Yes!" To be able to be friends with a character like Rumo, Zhang Yue can't ask for it.

"Then, let my friend accompany you down the mountain." Rumo's gentle voice plucked Zhang Yue's heartstrings like a string.

"Uh..... What? Zhang Yue didn't believe his ears a little.

"Is that okay?" Zhang Yue looked at the bottomless eyes like ink, and felt that he was about to be sucked in. He replied unconsciously.

"Okay."

When Rumo heard it, he seemed to be very satisfied.

"By the way, Rumo, what about Ah Jing? Will he be upset again? ”

"No, I asked him to go down the mountain to run errands today."

"Oh oh, good!" Saying that, the two went out of the courtyard together, Zhang Yue went to the front yard first, and found a reason to ask the senior brother Lu Danjing for a few days off from the mountain, and then, he and Rumo were about to go down the mountain, and when they walked to the gate of the academy, Zhang Yue saw the pillar of the gate of the academy from a distance, leaning lazily on a familiar figure.

When she walked in, it was Yuan Mo, Yuan Mo seemed to be sure that Zhang Yue would appear, his expression was indifferent, but when he saw Rumo behind Zhang Yue, he frowned slightly.

"You're going down the mountain?" He asked.

"Yes, Rumo will accompany me." Zhang Yue thought that if this guy used words to ridicule herself again, she would definitely fight back against him fiercely.

“... I'll go too. Yuan Mo whispered.

"What are you talking about?!" Zhang Yue was about to fight back, but he held back.

"Ahh I don't want to come back at night. With that, he turned around and walked ahead.

Rumo's eyes flashed, and he raised his head slightly.

"Little Wu, let's go."

Zhang Yue reacted and hurriedly walked a few steps to catch up with Yuan Mo.
