Chapter Twenty-Six: The Tavern of the Lake Pavilion
Mo Ziyu pushed open the door and saw Ling Lan on the other side, who was looking down at the tabletop and didn't notice anyone coming in.
"You are so bold that you dare to joke with the fourth prince?"
Ling Lan raised her index finger to her lips and made a silent gesture, continuing to look down and think about something.
Mo Ziyu was puzzled, and strode forward to see what she was doing, but found that the desktop was covered with white paper, and he didn't know whether the words or symbols on it were all incomprehensible.
"What do you mean by these?" The man pointed with a big hand.
"Write casually, clues about the victim, the scene of the death, and the suspect." She explained simply.
Mo Ziyu recalled again and again, and was sure that he had never seen it.
"Who did you learn this method of recording with?"
Ling Lan was a little weak-hearted, she moved the stool next to her and sat down, thought about it for a while and said in a low voice, "Because of some special circumstances, I came up with it myself." ”
After a pause, he immediately changed the topic: "Did you find anything in the search of the green kite's residence?" ”
Although Mo Ziyu didn't believe her words, she didn't ask much, guessing that she didn't want to say more.
"No, everything is fine."
Ling Lan felt irritable for a while, there were many clues, but there was nothing substantive to make Qing Kite confess.
promised Mrs. Chen to find the murderer within three days, and the first sunset has come, so it is not possible to go on like this.
"My lord, Miss Ling, there are suddenly a lot of rumors outside, saying that the criminal department caught the murderer, and the previous case was not caused by zombies, and even more vividly told the process of catching the murderer..."
Ye Feng took the lead and just finished speaking when he came to the door.
"Where did the rumors come from?" Mo Ziyu walked towards the door, her face gloomy and terrifying.
Ye Feng shook his head, indicating that Tianyi was investigating.
Ling Lan didn't understand why he was so angry at first, and she was inexplicably worried, until someone from the palace came to the palace to say that the saint wanted to see him, and at the same time, Mrs. Chen also came to the door.
Contrary to Mo Ziyu, Ling Lan was a little excited after calming down a little, and she was worried that she had not opened a breakthrough in the problem, and this time it was very likely to be a turning point.
She asks Fluttershy to meet Mrs. Chen, saying that the rumors outside are false and cannot be believed, and tells the other party to wait a little longer, and that she will not break her promise for three days. Then she slipped out the back door...
The largest teahouse in the capital, at this time, the guests are like clouds but not noisy, because there is a storyteller sitting in the middle of the hall, who is talking about how powerful Mo Ziyu is in the Criminal Department, and how a strange woman who has newly joined the Criminal Department is very smart. The two joined forces to catch the mad murderer...
Ling Lan couldn't help laughing, this storyteller was so powerful, she almost believed it.
But some of them are still very real, such as the praise for her.
After Mr. Storyteller finished speaking, the teahouse erupted in warm applause, followed by various discussions, like the comment area, which reminded Ling Lan of a modern keyboard warrior.
After drinking a pot of tea, the sky outside completely darkened, Ling Lan fell into deep thought from watching the excitement, what did this sudden rumor mean?
At night, the wind was slightly cool, and Ling Lan returned to the entrance of the criminal department unhurriedly and saw a tall figure coming towards her, and before she could react, she was grabbed by her arms.
"Where have you been? Do you know that I've been looking for you for a long time? Mo Ziyu's tone was filled with unprecedented eagerness.
Ling Lan pushed the other party away and rubbed his arm dissatisfied: "It's just that I went out for a spin, can such a big person still be lost?" ”
Mo Ziyu was stunned and quickly lowered her eyes, yes! What is he worried about?
Although he didn't realize the reason, he still whispered: "You are not a road idiot, who knows if you will get lost." ”
Ling Lan couldn't cry or laugh, she only needed to turn a corner when she came out of the Criminal Department to the street, where else could she lose it?
At this time, Ye Feng and Tianyi also rushed over, and they were relieved to see her at the same time.
Ye Feng patted his chest: "Miss Ling, you're finally back." ”
Tianyi wanted to speak and stopped, and finally stood aside and did not speak.
Feeling their concern and worry, Ling Lan's heart warmed: "I just went out for a walk, and I forgot to tell you, I'm sorry to worry you." ”
As soon as she finished speaking, Mo Ziyu suddenly turned around and shook her hand away, as if she was thinking too much, and no one was worried about her.
Tianyi immediately followed, took a few steps and turned his head and said, "Miss Ling, the reason why General Chen went to Xishan has been found. ”
I thought he would continue, but as soon as Tianyi left this sentence, he left again.
Seeing that Ling Lan was puzzled, Ye Feng explained that he would go to the study first.
On the way, Ye Feng couldn't help but sigh: "It's the first time for my subordinates to see an adult so anxious. ”
"Really?"
Ye Feng nodded again and again: "That's right, although the subordinates have not been with the adults for a long time, they have often seen him before, and I have never seen him so worried, it seems that the girl, you are very important in the hearts of the adults." ”
Ling Lan paused at her feet and couldn't help laughing: "You think too much!" He was just afraid that I would get lost, and no one would help him find clues. ”
Ye Feng felt that something was wrong, and he couldn't say it clearly for a while.
Walking all the way forward on the bluestone slab, Ling Lan smiled bitterly in her heart, it was almost the same as the unkind Lord Mo who exploited her, and there was no worry.
In the study, Mo Ziyu was silent while sipping tea.
Tianyi: "General Chen's secret guard has been secretly investigating clues, we only met today, according to him, on the morning of General Chen's murder, he followed the protection in secret, and followed the general out all the way to the Huguangting Tavern at about a moment, of course, he also doubted that the general had never been there, but General Chen asked him to go back before entering the door again, saying that there was a private matter to deal with, he wanted to wait outside, but General Chen was extremely angry, and he had no choice but to leave first. ”
"Lake Pavilion Tavern?" Ling Lan repeated, she didn't know what it was.
Tianyi explained in a low voice: "In the vicinity of Lihu, it is said to be a relatively mysterious place, and the guests who can enter are either rich or expensive..."
It is precisely because the Huxin Pavilion Tavern is more special, Tianyi is afraid of startling the grass and snakes, so he will come back to report first.
Ling Lan guessed that there should be big bosses in this place, all of whom were upper-class people, and it involved high-ranking people, so it was mysterious.
"The tavern should be lively at this hour." Mo Ziyu's slender fingers put down the teacup and stood up thoughtfully.
As soon as the day came, he immediately turned around and went out to arrange the carriage.
"You, you're going to the Huxin Pavilion Tavern?" Ling Lan realized it later.
Mo Ziyu didn't speak, only gave her a look of self-realization, and soon walked out without looking back.
Ling Lan didn't know why, what was the situation with this man?
Could it be that she was still angry because she didn't say hello and went out? That's too stingy, isn't it?
The night in mid-April was still a little cool, and when Ling Lan came back, she was blown cold by the wind, and she felt cold when she went out again.
"Ahh Ahh
Ling Lan, who had sneezed a few times in a row, only felt dizzy, she hurriedly tightened her clothes and sped up her pace, she had to drink some ginger water later, this is the rhythm of catching a cold.
