Volume 2 The Storm Rises in Moling City Chapter 112 The First Question
Xu Yichen was dragged out of the distance by Lin Wanqing, and he originally wanted to say something, but he was glared back by Lin Wanqing and Tian Lingling with vicious eyes.
After a long time, Lin Wanqing spoke:
"Sister Qingyun of Miaoyin Fang is beautiful, right?"
Xu Yichen was a little confused by this sudden question, and subconsciously blurted out:
"Pretty, pretty!"
"So, you were almost snatched away by someone else?"
"Huh?"
Saying that, Lin Wanqing gently pinched the flesh on Xu Yichen's left arm with two fingers, and Tian Lingling had a tacit understanding of pinching the flesh on Xu Yichen's right arm in the same way, and the two looked at each other, as if they were counting "one, two, three"
Xu Yichen looked at the two of them in confusion at first, not knowing what they wanted to do, but by the time he realized it, it was already too late.
Lin Wanqing and Tian Lingling twisted the meat in their hands in a clockwise direction at the same time, and in an instant, two sharp pains came from his arm and went straight to the cranial nerves.
"Whoa, whoa, what are you doing here?"
Tian Lingling said angrily:
"Hmph, this is the punishment you deserve, since you went down the mountain, Xu Yichen has been floating very much, everything is decided and then tell us, the name of the United States is called consultation, but it is actually a notice, even if it is, you are actually in front of us... Oh, no, you actually want to give up the mission to have a long talk with the junior sister of Miaoyin Fang?"
"That's it, it's just a spring heart, and it looks like a hungry ghost in the color!"
"What is this, I... Hiss~~ I didn't want to have a long talk with Senior Sister Shi Qingyun at all, didn't you just pull me down before I could speak, do you see that I have signs of resistance during the whole process?"
"Hmph, Xu Yichen, that's what you know, just now, if you dare to resist, you will basically be killed on the spot!"
Xu Yichen found that it was not a way to go on like this, as if he couldn't reason with them anymore, and it was estimated that he would soon have to talk to Meng Po and the king of Hades, so he said very simply:
"I'm sorry, I was wrong!"
Tian Lingling and Lin Wanqing didn't expect Xu Yichen to admit his mistake so quickly, and many of the rebuttal words that had been prepared were useless all of a sudden.
Lin Wanqing said:
"No, you can't admit your mistake, otherwise I'll think in vain!"
"No, it's not okay to admit mistakes......
Seeing that Xu Yichen looked like he wanted to cry without tears, Tian Lingling and Lin Wanqing laughed at the same time, and then put down the hand that was pinching the flesh on his arm.
Lin Wanqing smiled and said:
"Tell me, what is the city lord looking for you?"
Xu Yichen rubbed his arm and replied:
"It's about the dried corpse that the dean asked us to investigate, and he told me in advance, and gave me the details and the tokens and letters that are convenient for our investigation!"
As he spoke, Xu Yichen took out the token and letter given to him by the official and showed them to Tian Lingling and Lin Wanqing, and then relayed the content of his conversation with the other party to the two of them word for word.
Tian Lingling pinched his chin and said slowly:
"I didn't expect that in such a short period of time, there have been so many incidents, this demon sect is really hateful!"
Xu Yichen asked with some curiosity:
"Lingling, you know so quickly that it was the Demon Sect that did it, did you find anything?"
"Huh, isn't this usually done by the Demon Cult?"
Xu Yichen glanced at her and said angrily:
"Lingling, people also pay attention to evidence in judging cases, and we should be even more so when we investigate this matter, it's not good to speculate like this without evidence!"
Although Tian Lingling thought that this kind of thing was done by the Demon Sect, Xu Yichen seemed to have some truth in what he said, so he didn't insist on it anymore.
However, Lin Wanqing did not express any opinion on this topic, but changed the topic and asked:
"Xu Yichen, what kind of investigation method are you going to do?"
Xu Yichen shook his head and said:
"I don't have any particularly good methods, what I want now is to collect some useful information about this matter as soon as possible, and then go to the yamen to see which dried corpses, and finally patrol with the officers and soldiers at night to see if there will be any findings. ”
Lin Wanqing nodded and said:
"I think your idea is pretty good, come on, remember to report to me and Lingling when there is a situation!"
Xu Yichen looked at them with some doubts:
"You're going to let me investigate?"
The two seemed to have agreed a long time ago, and Tian Lingling also spoke:
"Yes, this is your punishment, and you will not accept all protests, objections and refutations!"
Xu Yichen was a little speechless, and just wanted to refute, but he remembered that the flesh on his arms was already a little red, and he immediately swallowed the words that came to his mouth:
"So what are you going to do?"
Tian Lingling and Lin Wanqing looked at each other and smiled, and said in unison:
"Guess ......"
In this way, Xu Yichen came to the tavern alone, he found a place by the window, asked Xiao Er for a pot of wine and a plate of peanuts, and began to listen carefully to the surrounding discussions.
This tavern is not big, although it has two floors, but the second floor seems to be under renovation, so it is only open to the downstairs floor, and the whole hall has 10 tables, and it is already crowded with people, because of what happened on the stage just now, and now these people are basically talking about this topic.
"I miscalculated, I didn't expect this matter to have such a big impact!"
Even so, Xu Yichen still listened carefully to the conversation at each table, which made him hear a lot of versions at once:
There are those who are angry at the crown for the red face version, there are the version for the name of the name, and there is also the legendary love triangle version, which makes Xu Yichen have to admire the power of rumors.
Just when Xu Yichen was listening to this, the shopkeeper had already put the wine and peanuts he wanted in front of him, Xu Yichen couldn't wait to take a sip of wine and taste it, it was obviously not as good as the wine in the world, and the taste in his mouth was a little dull.
Xu Yichen picked up a peanut and threw it into his mouth, and the conversation he wanted to hear came from his ears:
"Hey, did you say that Xiaoyao Academy, Miaoyin Fang, and Shengde Academy sent students because of that incident?"
"Don't say it, it's really possible, in just half a month, it is said that there have been 8 incidents, and the scene is a bit miserable. ”
"Yes, yes, it is said that they were all absorbed by something, and in the end they all became dried corpses, and the corpses are still lying in the yamen!"
......
Xu Yichen listened to the conversation between these two people, and secretly thought in his heart:
"Eight cases? But as for the seven cases that the city lord told me, what is going on? It seems that I still have to go to the Yamen. ”
