Chapter 396: Someone Looted Military Rations
After such a toss, there is naturally no sleepiness.
It's just that Su Mu was still sleeping peacefully, and Lin Jian stood by the stove for a while, waiting for the cold air on his body to dissipate, and then crawled back to the quilt lightly.
In this fine willow city, there are many secrets hidden.
It's like a beast hidden in a cave.
People on the outside know it's inside, and they can hear its rough voice, but because the hole is black, no one can tell what it looks like.
It is precisely because of this that it seems to become indestructible.
The two of them stayed in the inn for several days in a row, and they had basically bitten this to death. Located on Main Street, this inn is so large and has very few guests. Even the most lively lunch, the hall is sparsely populated.
They had just found a corner. As a result, the whole hall seemed to be even more deserted by the guests.
There is rice and several plates on the table, and most of them are meat dishes. Lin Jian pinched a piece of shredded meat, and after eating too much, he was a little dissatisfied, but he also pushed it towards Su Mu's side, "Fortunately, the injury on your arm has been much better, but you have been taboo for the past few days, and now you can relax a little." ”
When he said this, Lin Jian was still obviously frowning, Su Mu ate some kindly, and then smiled, "Seeing that it is getting colder and colder, and it is difficult to supply vegetables, this is not as good as at home, Ah Jian is still reluctant for a few days." ”
"Although there are granaries and tuntian fields here, it is God's business in winter, and we can't take care of it." The little second brother came over to add water, and took the opportunity to answer, Lin Jian responded with a few words, so the topic changed, "At this time, are you from the city still going to the station to hand over food." ”
What kind of food is planted outside the city, in fact, Lin Jian doesn't know, it's just that after the cold dew, until now, there must be something slowly being recycled. And there is already a granary built by the garrison here, and it is logical to hand it over there. Lin Jian just asked, but the shopkeeper was stunned, and the other one next to him was cleaning up, and the rag almost flew out directly.
In the hall, it is a place where you can hear a needle dropping.
"Did I say the wrong thing?" Lin Jian was also a little embarrassed, and hurriedly motioned to Su Mu on the other side.
So Su Mu had no choice but to say a round sentence, Tuntian was originally related to food, which the two of them had repeatedly said during discussions in recent days, but what the case was like, naturally there was no half a conclusion.
Lin Jian's words just now were just unintentional words, or they were just a superficial try.
Who would have expected ...... How did they react so much?
"The strange villain just wandered and saw that the guest officer was eating deliciously, and he was hungry." The little second brother stiffened for a moment and reacted, and the other next to him also grabbed a rag and came over to play a round, "The matter of handing over food has indeed continued until now, but the villagers are all going in groups, afraid of encountering robbers or something on the road." ”
"Robbers?" Su Mu raised his head, his eyelids jumping.
"How is that possible, anyway...... It's all counted as military rations. Lin Jian almost forgot to eat, but the two of them quickly slipped away, "There are robbers, and they are very fierce." If the two guest officers are fine, they should not go there. ”
……
Not to mention that this fine willow city was originally built here for the resettlement of the military and civilians in Tuntian, and most of the ideas of the military and civilian families have already been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. Again...... No matter how arrogant a robber is, when he encounters the affairs of the official family, he must always weigh his ability. Lin Jian only felt incredible when he heard it, but he also joked, "It's okay, if it is really robbed, they will give it all the money they are for." ”
After Lin Jian finished speaking, he realized that he was speechless, and it was not the wine table in front of him that was gossiping with Xiuyuan, but Su Mu was sitting opposite.
He gagged and looked up, only to find Su Mu staring at the table in front of him, not knowing what he was thinking.
"I'm just kidding, cousin, don't take it seriously." Lin Jian poked it carefully, and Su Mu raised his head at this time, "What's wrong?"
The emotion was that he didn't notice his outrageous words at all, Lin Jian was glad in her heart, and poked at the other party again, "What were you thinking just now?"
Displaced people near the fire house.
A joint petition of hundreds of people.
Chase on the water.
Hints of not living inside and outside the city.
was told by the two juniors about the taboo of Tuntian, and they were all reminded at this time.
"It's okay, go back to your room and rest first."
Lin Jian's eyes widened, and he only waited for such a sentence.
However, after getting along with each other for a while, Lin Jian has learned a little more about him, so naturally he didn't ask anything at this time, and followed people upstairs.
The inn was very well arranged, and the pen, ink, paper, and inkstone were ready-made, and seeing Su Mu sitting on the side of the bookcase, Lin Jian consciously took the ink ingot to grind.
Su Mu held his chin and stared at the white paper, still and moving, the atmosphere in the room was very good.
At first, when they were not familiar with each other's temperaments, they got married in a hurry. In fact, until both of them clarified their minds, it was only a recent incident.
This is the real sense of the new marriage, but even if you change places, you are still in this kind of hidden danger in this place.
Nervous and depressing, but with a lingering excitement. Lin Jian was thinking nonsense while grinding ink, and when he came back to his senses, he found that Su Mudu had been writing for a long time, and the paper was densely packed with traces.
Although Lin Jian couldn't fully understand Su Mu's intentions, he could roughly see that the above summary actually put everything on a piece of paper from the disappearance of his sister to the present. Tuntian, on the other hand, is placed in the middle as the top priority, and is connected with the rest of the items.
"Sister A is a lieutenant in the Tuntian Army, Xiuyuan is the only son of Lord Zhao, and Botong is his friend. In the case of the fire room, it may be that Song Ming was revealed in the army, and Cousin Lian was suspected because Song Ming was suspected. The shape is from the city, and it is also related to Tuntian. But we found it in the man in black who was chasing and killing. So this man in black, is he in the army?"
Lin Jian counted the lines one by one, his voice getting higher and higher, and he almost screamed because he couldn't hide it.
He was stunned by the crazy idea.
Su Mu's finger also pointed to the word Tuntian in the middle, but at this time, he poured a basin of cold water at the right time.
"The disappearance of Zhao Xiuyuan and Zhou Botong, if it is insisted on being linked to the Huofang case, it can only be said that the displaced person who was killed is the person who may have seen something in front of the academy, but judging from the scene of the crime, it was definitely not done by people in the army, if it was them, it could only be neat and decisive."
"And it's not impossible for Song Ming to contact the army, it's just that the academy was under martial law at that time, even if Ah Lian went out once during a sensitive period, how could he have contact with Tuntian here."
"As for Xiangwu, he must have been implicated because he knew that the letter pointed out the way of your eldest sister, and from the scene of the crime, it was also neat, and the murderer could consider the killer and other aspects."
"But how can the military, the academy, and the family be connected? If any of the clues are wrong, it will be a failure, and besides, these are just our own conjectures. ”
Lin Jian was already boiling with enthusiasm for finding a way out, but now he was completely doused, "Then what should I do, do you sit still and wait to die?"
"The only way out is to go to the camp to explore the reality."
Su Mu concluded on this, but there was no such astonishing move as shooting the case.
Lin Jian felt a little burning.
The camp was set up in the south of the city, only about five or six miles out of the city gate, and the two of them briefly probed and walked directly to that side on the second day.
As the little second brother in the store said, from time to time you can meet people who go to deliver food on the road, and they are in groups.
The two of them stepped forward to ask several times, but each time they touched the nail. Or it can't be described as such, because in fact there is no one to walk with or talk to them. If you do, you will walk away immediately.
It was early afternoon, and it was difficult to get a good day, the sun was warm, and the wind was not very strong. They are on the official road right now, and the road under their feet is also very smooth, but Lin Jian's mood is really not too good, "I won't come to this kind of place, there are really people robbing military rations." ”
was treated like this again and again, and he really remembered the words of the little second brother.
"If there is such a bold person, it must not be an ordinary robber. When it comes to Tuntian, I'm afraid I have to report back immediately. Su Mu controlled his eyes and didn't wander around, and said, "We're just here to visit relatives, so it's better not to pay attention to the rest." If you go back late, I'm afraid you won't even be able to enter the city gate. ”
Lin Jian was stunned for a moment, but he also reacted, they had already discussed before they came out, if they were suspected of what reason to deal with, even the clothes on their bodies were changed into coarse cloth.
It's not very far away for a few miles, and then the two of them are in a hurry, so it is naturally faster.
However, when they arrived outside the camp, they could no longer see the people who had come to deliver the food before, and there were only shallow wheel marks on the ground.
"Those people should have already gone in, but they are only here to deliver food, and it is estimated that they will not find out anything." Lin Jian raised his foot and kicked lightly at the car mark a few times, and he was a little deflated. When he heard Lin Tian's description before, he thought that there must be an open space in front of the camp, and if there was a battle, the weapons of both the enemy and us would be open and fought in this open space.
But...... Needless to say, the camp wall is extremely high, and there are several watchtowers in the two corners that can be seen in front. In addition to this, there is a ditch outside the wall, as for shelter...... Lin Jian glanced around and found that there was not even a single dry grass in the mountains and forests.
"You say...... How to use the reason for visiting relatives? What are the chances that we'll be put in?"
Lin Jian spoke weakly, and Su Mu couldn't help but help his forehead...... In fact, it was the first time he had been to a camp or something.
"Ajan, I'm a civil official."
"yes, I know." Lin Jian responded silently, and at the same time gave up the idea of breaking through.
The two stayed where they were and continued to watch, and soon, at the watchtower, there was a figure walking down, shouting urgently, "Stop." ”
The watchtower was extremely high, about two feet, and separated by some distance, so that the man was only the size of an ordinary pen.
However, neither of the two dared to move, Su Mu just took a step in front of Lin Jian's body, but was dragged back to the same place.
The barrel of the pen grew higher and bigger, and almost in an instant, it came to me. Lin Jian was still a little stunned, so he saw the spear stabbing at him, so he stopped a few inches in front of them, "The army is an important place, it is strictly forbidden to enter, the two of you should go back." ”
The scouts on duty in the watchtower were ruthless and well-trained, Lin Jian stared at the tip of the spear in front of him and swallowed silently, these people are powerful, he had heard about them in Sister A before.
"Isn't it allowed to visit relatives in the army?" Su Mu was quite calm and brought out the original reason.
The scout brother's expression froze, and he threw them a look that was obviously looking at the fool, "No." ”
Won't your wife allow it? Lin Jian almost popped out these words, but he still restrained himself and left only a silent sound. If the wife visits relatives, even the camp in the army will be given in, but at night she has to go to the inn to stay overnight.
It's just that...... Lin Jian glanced back and forth between him and Su Mu a few times, but still gave up on this stupid idea.
Do you want to come to my sister directly? Since it doesn't work, in this camp, I'm afraid that she is the only woman, and at the moment when the situation is unknown, it is naturally impossible to reveal her identity.
"Okay, excuse me." The two glanced at each other and decided to leave first. The disgust in the scout's eyes has quickly turned into substance, and it is estimated that if they don't leave, they will be pulled in by the hat of the meticulous work, and that will be more than worth the loss.
