"Huh? That's really the case! ”

"Hey, it's really, how are these words crooked, and some words are missing strokes, so strange?"

Ma Lin and Pang Bing also carefully looked at the letter again, and found that there were indeed some words, which seemed a little sloppy, and some were lacking in pen strokes, which made people feel that the writer seemed to want to express his excitement quickly, and there was a lack of strokes.

These words are indeed as Xiao Liu said, like the writing method proposed by Xiao He in the quick practice of calligraphy.

These quick practice words were only circulated within the Xiao Mansion, as well as Xiao He's private teaching.

Several people also found that there are obvious grammatical errors in many places, the words are not smooth, typos and so on, it really seems to be written by a gentleman who does not know how to learn.

"These, are they the codes given by Xiao He?" Ma Lin exclaimed.

I can't imagine that there are really clues hidden in a small letter, and it must pass through the hands of those people, and how difficult it is to come to my own hands so smoothly.

"Yes, do you think Xiao He is really a fool who has nothing to do, and he doesn't learn and doesn't know how to do it, I'm afraid he will be shot to death by ice cubes a long time ago.. Crippled ......"

Shi Xiu lowered his head and kept scribbling on the paper, and opened the Analects, pulled out a piece of paper full of strange symbols, and constantly compared the three, and wrote on the new paper, mocking without raising his head.

Ma Lin and Xiao Liu couldn't help but peek at Pang Bing, still expressionless, the cold was pressing, and they hurriedly withdrew their gaze.

"Hehe~ I guess in the eyes of that guy, I really think so!"

"Brother Shi, why do you use the Analects," Xiao Liu asked curiously when he saw Shi Xiu constantly flipping through the Analects.

"Xiao He mentioned in the letter that there are friends from afar, isn't this from the Analects!"

"It's that simple," Xiao Liu stammered.

"Oh, by the way, why are you here Xiaoliu, shouldn't you study in a private school?" Shi Xiu asked curiously, and the three of them all looked at Xiao Liu.

"Brother Xiao He, something happened, where can I settle down to study, if it weren't for Brother Xiao He's kind kind private school to accommodate the children of poor families, I'm afraid I would still be doing chores in my father's tavern." Xiao Liu said gratefully.

"Hehe~ Just talk about it in front of us, if you don't cut you in front of your brother Xiaohe, he has always only thought about being a good loser, squirrel, you said that he is so good, according to his words, you are ruining his reputation, haha~"

Shi Xiu couldn't help but be happy after speaking, Ma Lin also nodded vigorously, and even the cold Pang Bingcube couldn't help but pull the corners of his mouth.

Xiao Liu scratched his head, "That's right, Brother Xiao He is hypocritical, he has done good things, and he still has to twist and pinch and don't want to admit it......"

"Haha~"

"By the way, when I met Brother Ni a few days ago, he said that when he met a living person, he felt that it must have a lot to do with Brother Xiao He."

"And I also live near the water, and I know that there must be some hidden small waterways where people can be hidden, passable, and even hidden places where you can go ashore," Xiao Liu and the others laughed and continued to explain.

"Brother Shi, Brother Pang, look,"

Xiao Liu took out something from his arms and handed it to Pang Bing.

A tube, about the length of a palm, the thickness of a thumb, was carved by a skilled craftsman into a rice plant with heavy ears of rice.

This piece of rice made of wood is obviously rubbed by its owner from time to time, and it looks shiny and recognizable.

"This is Xiao He's whistle, where did you find it, Xiao Liu," Pang Bing took the whistle and looked at it carefully, and said affirmatively.

"According to the information provided by Uncle Ni, I thought about what I would do if I was a kidnapper, so I drove a small boat around the West Lake, and really found a hidden small river."

"And then?"

"I followed the small river and went ashore, but I found nothing, and just as I suspected that I was looking in the wrong direction, I found this whistle in a forest."

"What, where, is there any clue then," Ma Lin said hurriedly.

"No... There are..."

Xiao Liu was frightened by Ma Lin's eager look and took a step back.

Later, seeing that Ma Lin was not pressing, Xiao Liu hurriedly poured out all the bamboo tubes he knew.

"Not far from the discovery of this pipe, although those people handled it very carefully, I still found a trace of a bonfire burning, guessing that it should be that group of people rested here, and Brother Xiao He took the opportunity to leave a whistle."

"After that, I notified Uncle Ni, and he brought someone over to continue the search, and I will come back first to inform Brother Shi."

"Alas," Malin kept hammering against the wall, "ah, damn it, don't get caught by me, you bastards. ”

"Enough, be quiet," Pang Bing said coldly, appreciating, "Little Liu, you did a good job!" ”

Pang Bing rubbed the whistle, as if he saw something inside the whistle, and raised it to look carefully into the flute.

"Yes, I'm sorry, Wanchun, it's all my fault," Ma Lin was stunned, thinking that Pang Wanchun was still blaming himself for his poor guarding, and quickly apologized.

"Here, Brother Pang, try it with this lamp pick," Xiao Liu cleverly handed the lamp pick to Pang Bing, and gently bumped Ma Lin's shoulder, shaking his head.

Both of them leaned over and saw Pang Bing picking out a broken yellow leaf from the whistle with the tip of the lamp pick.

"This is the leaf of the mulberry tree," said Xiao Liu, "and the flute was indeed found in the mulberry forest!" ”

"But Minghu Town and Mulberry Forest are far apart, one east and one west, is Xiao He tied up near these two places, or is there a third unknown place?"

"Okay, Xiao He's code has basically been figured out," Shi Xiu's voice shocked everyone, temporarily put aside the matter of the leaves, and surrounded them all.

"Shi Xiu, tell me quickly, what did Xiao He say?" Pang Wanchun asked in an anxious and cold voice.

"Yes, Brother Shi, hurry up, Xiao He must have suffered these days, let's save him quickly."

Xiao Liu looked at Shi Xiu with a nervous expression.

"Shi Xiu, you should tell me quickly, where is Xiao He being held," Ma Lin asked eagerly.

All three of them looked at Shi Xiu nervously.

Shi Xiu frowned, looked at the code on the paper, and took out a map to find it.

'A dilapidated manor, leaning against a hill, listening to the sound of the water, and the benzoin blossoms. ’

"It's mountains, it's water, it's flowers, where are they?" There were more clues, and everyone began to worry again.

Everyone was in deep thought, the dilapidated manor, the hill, and the sound of water, and they couldn't help but think of a dilapidated manor on a hill near the sea or river, and there were benzoin flowers blooming.

Speaking of which, many places in the Jiangnan water towns are in line with this.

"Benzoin flowers bloom, benzoin, the flowers are big and beautiful, and the fragrance is unique," Ma Lin pondered for a while and said, "Could it be near Jiande, I heard that this kind of flower seems to be only planted in Jiande, but now that it is winter, where will it bloom." ”

"Jiande! That's great! Then let's hurry up over there and rescue Brother Xiaohe! ”

Xiaoliu said excitedly.

Pang Wanchun also frowned and looked at Shi Xiu.

"That's true", Shi Xiu nodded in approval of Ma Lin's words, and shook his head again, "If it was before, then we can directly conclude that it is in Jiande, but ......"

"Brother Shi, you said, it's really a person who is in a hurry to die." Xiao Liu scratched his head and said anxiously.

"Not long ago, I heard that the condensation department on the side of the honey mystery seems to have a plan to develop benzoin lotion. Whether it is development or production, it will definitely need a lot of benzoin as raw materials, and Jiande alone cannot meet the ......"

"Therefore, the Jiangning Chamber of Commerce provides support policies and supports many places to plant benzoin, although there are indeed many places that do not meet the requirements, but there are also many places, all over the state capital near Jiande."

Shi Xiu took out a map and roughly drew the place where benzoin might be planted.

"Ah~ so much!"

"Rest in peace!"

"This is the point, and it is also the key point," Shi Xiu wrote solemnly.

"The place where Xiao Liu found the whistle just now, there is no benzoin planting land nearby, it is estimated that it should be on the way to kidnap Xiao He, and it can be ruled out first."

"As for the store that received the letter, it is also far away from the nearest planting place, and the other conditions do not match Xiao He's secret letter, of course, it cannot be ruled out that those people deliberately confuse the public and deliberately detour so far, I think it can be kept first."

"Yes, Brother Shi's analysis is reasonable."

Xiao Liu, like a little fan, hurriedly nodded in agreement.
