Chapter Seventy-Nine: Dead Bodies in the River

The pink-carved boy shook his head. "I don't know."

Jin Nian's big eyes darkened, and he answered.

A young man came behind the boy, and when he saw his young master talking to Jinnian, who looked like a beggar, he immediately protected the boy behind him.

"Little master, you have a noble status, how can you get so close to a beggar, and your clothes are small with a small heart."

Jin Nian was about to leave, but when he heard this, he just took a meal and ignored it.

I vaguely heard a deep man's voice next to the sedan chair: "I heard that there are high monks in the Red Leaf Temple, let's go and take a look first." ”

Jin Nian turned around and saw the back of the middle-aged man who spoke, he was wearing a wide and gorgeous robe, wearing an official hat, tall and burly, and was holding the boy's small hand to the temple.

After pondering in front of the Red Leaf Temple for a long time or two, Jin Nian was sure that Mu Yu was not here, so he hurriedly went down the mountain, returned to the General's Mansion, and happened to meet Feng Yu.

"Senior brother, have you ever seen Xiaoyuyu?"

Feng Yu was walking from the opposite verandah with the extremely generals, and it was difficult to hide the tiredness on his face.

Seeing that Jin Nian was not as serious as before, Feng Yu immediately tensed his nerves and asked, "What do you mean by this?" Mu Yu, she wasn't with you? ”

"No, senior brother, Xiao Yuyu was with me last night, and I didn't see her in many places this morning."

"There's no one in the yard either?"

"Yard...... It seems that there is no one, and no one has answered after I called for a long time. ”

Feng Yu frowned, and there was a hint of impatience in his voice: "Maybe you haven't woken up yet, you go and call again, I still have important things." ”

Jin Nian reluctantly got out of the way.

Mu Yu's yard was very deserted, probably because Mu Yu was not there.

Jin Nian stood under the door and window, and shouted several times, but there was still no response inside, he took a deep breath, raised his foot, and kicked it away.

The beds are clean and neat.

Jin Nian's heart sank suddenly.

"Little Yuyu, where are you?"

No one responded.

Outside the hall, a rush of footsteps came, and Feng Yu, who was discussing the matter, suddenly frowned, this kind of thing should not be disturbed by others, if it is said that it is Jin Nian, it is unlikely, because Jin Nian has martial arts, no matter how anxious he goes, he will not make such a loud noise, unless he is restless or injured.

The generals in the hall had no choice but to suspend their deliberations and wait for the arrival of people outside the hall.

Sure enough, the person who came was Jinnian.

His face was flustered and out of breath.

"Senior brother, senior brother, no, Mu Yu is gone!"

This sentence is very out of place, even a little ridiculous in this quiet hall.

Feng Yu twisted his eyebrows, and shouted with a calm face: "Senior brother, I have something important to discuss with the generals......

Jin Nian didn't care about this: "Senior brother, Mu Yu is gone, I just went to her yard, she is really not there, the mattress is neat, she didn't return last night, I suspect ......"

didn't wait for Jin Nian to continue, Feng Yu was already very impatient.

"Xiao Nian, Miss Mu Yu has her own affairs, you don't have to worry about this, okay, if it's okay, don't come in."

"No, senior brother......"

Jin Nian wanted to say anything more, but the young general on the side had already driven him out.

"Senior Brother ......"

Jin Nian beat his chest and paused, very annoyed.

"Xiao Yuyu, is something wrong with you? Damn Momijiji Temple ......"

Jin Nian was as anxious as an ant on a hot pot, and suddenly ran out of the house.

However, there was a vast sea of people in the bazaar, but Mu Yu's figure was nowhere to be found.

He searched as he went, shouting from time to time, staring at the girl in red, looking for them one by one, none of them were the person he was looking for.

Looking at the bright sun overhead, the scorching light was densely sprinkled, covering the entire blue sky, and suddenly there was a trance, and in the hazy vision, Mu Yu's beautiful face slowly bloomed with a smile......

Xiao Yuyu, where are you?

Suddenly, his vision was no longer blurry, and he blinked, drawn in by a commotion.

On his side is the great river of willows, which is slender and winds around every area of the imperial city.

A large crowd of people gathered around the arched bridge not far ahead, crowding the banks on both sides.

A few children shouted excitedly as they ran: "Someone has fallen into the water and drowned!" Go and see! ”

Jin Nian looked uneasily at the river, and through the gap in the crowd, he saw a boatman on the river holding the boat to the bank of the river, and pulled up a dead body in red from the boat.

At first glance, when he saw the dead body, Jin Nian was like being struck by lightning.

Is that......

No, impossible, impossible, how could it be, little fish fish......

Legs and feet seemed to disobey the call, and walked slowly, hesitantly, but steadfastly, towards the corpse.

The crowd gathered around it tightly, pointing at the corpse incessantly, both curious and excited about the discovery of the dead body, and fearful, but this fear made them more and more excited.

While the crowd was talking excitedly and fearfully, one or two large swarthy hands stretched out from among them and forcefully pushed them away.

What caught my eye was the red clothes soaked by the river, the familiar red clothes, but the face was full of holes and could not be distinguished, but looking at the face shape, it was clearly ......

"Mu Yu?" Jin Nian screamed in disbelief, trembling his body.

As if not believing it, he crouched down and reached out a hand to reach for the soaked, blurred corpse......

"Get out of the way, get out of the way!"

"The official errand is on errands, and no one has anything to do with it to give way as soon as possible!"

When the official messenger came, the people avoided it one after another, only Jin Nian squatted motionless in front of the corpse, like a stone statue.

When the catchers arrived at the corpse, the catcher who was at the forefront asked loudly, "Are you her relative?" ”

Jin Nian didn't notice it, staring at the corpse in a daze.

"Little Fish Fish...... How could you ......"

The head catcher glanced at him, and the two catchers behind him quickly stepped forward, ready to carry the body away.

Jin Nian stopped them with red eyes: "Where do you want to take her?" ”

The catcher took a step forward and looked Jin Nian up and down: "Naturally, it will be moved to the yamen, and the routine autopsy will be known soon." Who are you? ”

"I, I'm ...... Her friends. ”

A smile appeared on the expressionless face of the head catcher: "Since you are a friend of the deceased, then please go to the yamen with us." ”

"Do what?"

"Do your research and cooperate."

Jin Nian was pushed in a daze, and went to the direction of the yamen with those fast catchers.

Feng Yu learned the news on the morning of the second day, and as soon as he finished his breakfast, a priest from the yamen came over to inform his junior brother that he would stay in the yamen and refuse to leave.

Feng Yu frowned and asked, "Why did Xiao Nian stay in the Yamen?" ”

The catcher was still expressionless, as if he had been born without joy or sorrow: "General Hui, that's the case, yesterday at about noon, the yamen received a report that a dead body floated up the city river, and when I arrived with my subordinates, I saw a young man squatting in front of the corpse, and the young man said that the deceased was his friend before his death. ”

"What does that corpse look like?" Feng Yu's eyes widened suddenly.

"The corpse was a woman, dressed in red, about twenty-eight years old......"
