Chen He's personal investigation of Long Yongxi, although he did not solve the mystery, successfully focused his attention on Xue Ruhai. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
At this point, he was satisfied.
As in Zhongtian City, Xue Ruhai has also become a key figure, and it seems that there must be some kind of connection behind the two things.
As long as you continue to investigate step by step, the day when the whole mystery will be solved will get closer and closer.
But at this moment, Long Yongxia was unexpected, and explained another important matter.
"That day, in order to give Ping'er some help, I gave him a clue during hypnosis. When Long Yongxia said this, his old face turned a little red, and he continued to whisper: "Li Fei and Xue Ruhai's aunt, there used to be a secret date in the academy, and I hinted at Ping'er. ”
Honghuang Academy is a thousand-year-old building, and there are indeed many secret corners in it, which Chen He is already very aware of.
Long Yongxia and Li Fei were competing for Aunt Xue Ruhai at the beginning, so they had followed the whereabouts of the two and knew this very well.
"Bastard, why did you say such an important thing now?!" Long Yaotian couldn't help but say angrily.
It seems that Long Pingping must have done an investigation when he returned to Honghuang Academy, although he doesn't know what he found, but it is likely to be related to his death.
Chen He and Long Li immediately returned to the Honghuang Academy and immediately went to the secret stronghold, hoping to find clues.
The secret stronghold is in the control center room, and it doesn't seem to be a hidden place.
Chen He glanced around and found that this was the corridor in the basement, although it was in a remote corner, but the light was quite sufficient.
"It's not a good place to hide secrets, although it's not monitored. Long Li looked around carefully and said puzzled.
Things didn't go as smoothly as expected, and Elder Long's clues were probably just extraneous and didn't have much value.
At this moment, Chen He stopped in the corner at the end of the corridor.
On the corner wall, a wall lamp surrounded by an explosion-proof shield emits a soft light of light yellow.
Chen He is familiar with this kind of light, and it belongs to the same kind of wall lamp when he was a child in a public care center.
This kind of wall lamp is cheap, but the quality can stand the test of time, and his entire childhood was spent under the same light.
"Is there a problem with this wall lamp?" Long Li walked over and asked curiously.
"Nope. I'm just looking at it. Chen He came back to his senses, glanced at Long Li, and said lightly.
"Don't move! watch your step!" Long Li suddenly screamed, as if she had discovered something.
Chen He's body stiffened suddenly, and he looked down carefully, but he didn't find anything abnormal, so he showed a puzzled expression.
"Huh!" Long Li couldn't help but let out an exclamation after carefully observing it for a moment.
It turned out that on the ground under Chen He's feet, there was a line of handwriting written in red paint, but the color was very light and almost unrecognizable.
Long Li can see at a glance that it is because she is hereditary red-green color blind.
"The ground is light purple, blue to my eyes, and the red handwriting is yellow, so it's not hard to tell. Red-green color blindness runs in our family, and so does Long Pingping. Long Li said in shock.
The handwriting on the ground seems to have been written specifically for Long Pingping.
Chen He was very shocked, one because of the exquisite design of the other party, and also because of the content of the handwriting.
The light red handwriting on the ground looked like a message written by Li Fei. The meaning is very subtle and not easily understood.
"The three-eyed golden toad is not a golden toad, the Ding family's autumn and winter are not autumn and winter, and the recovery is lost and killed, and the sky strikes Huang Quanming. Long Li read it suspiciously, unable to understand what it meant.
And judging from the message, the matter is also related to Dean Ding Qiudong.
The other party took great pains to leave handwriting, just to let Long Pingping know that Ding Qiudong had something strange on him. Chen He said after pondering for a moment.
"How do you know that the handwriting was not written by Li Fei, and how could it be related to Dean Ding?" Long Li asked even more confusedly.
Chen He smiled and did not answer, but bent down and squatted down.
I saw him spit some foam on his fingers, and rubbed it gently against the pale red handwriting.
"Water-soluble pigments, which simply cannot withstand the regular cleaning of the cloister, are indeed recently written. Long Li showed a look of admiration and said excitedly.
"As for Dean Ding, do you still remember Ding Yu? Is it a coincidence that she was also involved in the incident?" Chen He said slowly.
Long Li was stunned, she hadn't noticed such an obvious problem before.
The recent huge progress in the matter is entirely because of Ding Yu, although it is not clear that she has anything to do with the matter.
And Ding Yu is Ding Qiudong's daughter, and the message on the ground mentions Ding Qiudong, and it seems that he can't escape it.
"Although I don't know if Long Pingping's death is directly related to Ding Qiudong. But it is certain that Long Pingping saw the message and investigated it. Chen He continued.
He then briefly explained what he learned from Mary, the administrator of the reading room, about Long Pingping's investigation of Ding Qiudong and Li Fei.
As for Mary's true identity, not a word is mentioned.
Long Li didn't wake up until this time, and couldn't help but start to sigh with emotion.
"Brother Ping is good at everything, but he doesn't know how to use his brain when he encounters trouble, if he is half as clever as you, he will not end up today. Long Li couldn't help but be sad and said in a low voice.
Chen He smiled and shook his head, many things are the authorities' fans, but I am afraid that if he is in Long Pingping's position, it may not be much better.
Although the matter is now clear, it is not easy to investigate.
Dean Ding has deep roots in the Honghuang Academy, and it is not easy to investigate him.
"Things are getting more and more complicated, and it is certain that Xue Ruhai plays an important role in it. We still follow the plan, first enter the life and death trial ground, find the person Ding Yu said, and then make further plans. Chen He said after pondering.
Long Li nodded, she was now completely convinced of Chen He and was willing to obey his arrangement.
Chen He quietly returned to the apartment and began to prepare for the journey to the life and death trial ground that was about to depart, but was suddenly interrupted by an accident.
"Youlong, who beat you like this?" Chen He shouted as he jumped to his feet.
"It's okay, it's really okay!" Wan Youlong hesitated, still refusing to speak.
Chen He threatened to tell Lan Qili, and in desperation, Wan Youlong told what had happened.
While Chen He was busy preparing for the trip to the life and death trial ground, Wan Youlong was not idle, and participated in a free competition at the instigation, and the wound on his face was the result of the competition.
"Participating in free competition?!Are you fed?" Chen He complained dissatisfiedly.
"They scolded you for your little white face, naturally I can't let them go!" Wan Youlong didn't care and shouted loudly.
Obviously, although these students had scruples about Chen He, they only stayed away, and in fact, they were still very dissatisfied with him in their hearts.
And the person who instigated Wan Youlong to participate in free competition may also have something to do with Xue Ruhai.
Chen He couldn't rest assured at first, and after leaving with He Bichen, he left Wan Youlong alone in Honghuang Academy.
"Long Li, you stay. Chen He said firmly.
"How can this be done, I will accompany you to the trial ground of life and death. Long Li quickly shook her head and said.
"So which one do you think is stronger than He Bichen?" asked Chen He with a smile.
Long Li was obviously stunned, did not continue to argue, and reluctantly accepted Chen He's arrangement.
"Youlong, the face lost in free competition has to be earned back by yourself. While I'm away, you concentrate on practicing, and Long Li will accompany you. Chen He patiently admonished Wan Youlong.
Wan Youlong couldn't help but raise his round arm, obviously trying to be strong, but he didn't know how long he could last.
After Chen He arranged things, he spent all day in the reading room, waiting for someone to appear.
In his eyes, Ding Yu still seems to be a mystery, and the two have a sense of sympathy.
Regardless of friends and foes, this similarity alone made him eager to see Ding Yu again before leaving.
The strange thing is that Ding Yu, who was originally soaked in the reading room all day long, seemed to be missing, and he never came to show his face for several days.
Chen He began to be a little worried, so he decided to do something that he would not have done.
He quietly came to the door of Ding Yu's apartment, and in a remote corner of the floor, he hesitantly pressed the doorbell.
After a long time, the door of the apartment slowly opened, and Ding Yu quietly appeared inside the door.
Although Ding Yu is older than him, he is very ladylike after washing and combing, and he has lost the madness he had at the beginning.
When she saw Chen He, a trace of gratitude flashed in her eyes, like a ray of sunlight shining on a glacier.
"You're here after all. Ding Yu said calmly.
"Are you okay again?" Chen He asked with a smile, stepping into the room and looking around.
Ding Yu's room was surprisingly tidy, and he couldn't see the crazy state he used to be, but there was also a sense of lifelessness and dullness in it.
"I was seven out of seven crazy and I've been almost completely better lately. Ding Yu replied lightly.
"So, you're not going to the reading room?" Chen He sat down on the chair and continued to ask curiously.
Ding Yu's standing body trembled significantly all of a sudden, and he didn't speak for a long time.
"I don't know why, suddenly I don't want to go there. It was as if a piece of my heart was missing, and it was there that it was stolen. Ding Yu said slowly, looking a little depressed.
Ding Yu's words were like a cloud of white smoke, drawing a familiar picture in Chen He's heart, which was poignant but impossible to see clearly.
However, at this moment, the doorbell suddenly rang again, and Ding Yu's face showed a look of extreme fear.
"Hide, he's coming. Ding Yu looked at a loss and said very nervously.
Without Ding Yu to speak, Chen He had already guessed who the visitor was, but in the empty room, there was really no place to hide.
Chen He's first thought was to think of the Star Conch, but at the same time, he also knew that hiding in it had no effect.
Time and space are intertwined in the star conch, even if you hide in it for years, it is only a moment in reality, and what is coming will still come after all.
Just when Chen He wanted to send a distress signal, Ding Yu waved his arm, and a secret door appeared on the floor of the room, and motioned for him to hide in immediately.
didn't have time to think about it, Chen He flew into the secret door.
I really didn't expect that in Ding Yu's room, there was such a clever mechanism hidden.
