Chapter 10: The Mirror (2)
If she hadn't called him sir, and he hadn't stopped for her, maybe he wouldn't be trapped in this illusion now, but he never regretted it.
Because she was the only one who never asked him about his past.
Xiao Han's eyes suddenly showed a hint of a smile, he raised his arm and slammed the bronze mirror to the ground. The mirror cracked instantly, and the fragments splattered in all directions, and the reflection in the mirror disappeared, drawing out of the fragments little by little, and condensing into a cloud in the air.
"It turns out that you have already seen it, but unfortunately even if you break this bronze mirror, you will not be able to get out of this illusion. But you're better than the fools who died before, but you're still boring, because you're just as greedy as they are, and you're greedy for the women you love, and that's your weakness. ”
The cloud suddenly flew in front of his eyes, gradually changing the appearance of Shangguan Ran, she looked into his eyes and said word by word: "You have the desire to stay with me, and I am willing to follow you away from the hustle and bustle of this world, we are in this mountain, you chop wood and plow the fields, I weave cloth and tailor, and be a pair of fairy couples, okay?"
Her breathtaking eyes made Xiao Han's gaze gradually dim, and his originally clear pupils gradually contracted until he was completely numb and unconscious.
"Good. ”
He replied indifferently, then smiled mechanically, and took her hand and walked slowly towards the thatched hut in the distance.
Shangqiu City, in Xiping Mansion.
"Oh, I've told you so many times, old man, and I really don't remember anything strange about those dead people other than fatal head wounds. ”
Despite his repeated explanations, Zhao Wuwu still did not give up, and he followed closely behind him all the way, from the inner courtyard to the morgue, and from the morgue to the outside of the thatched house.
Cao Fu Yin happened to come out of the thatched house, and the smell he brought out made Zhao Wuwu stop there, and he couldn't help but reach out and cover his nose.
When Cao Fuyin saw him, the footsteps that he originally wanted to come up with subconsciously retreated, and he smiled a little embarrassedly.
"Zhao Gongzi, now that this case has been concluded, and the Holy Lord has also confessed, our head can be regarded as being saved, but it is not easy to keep it all the time! Look at the present, the city is all right, and the people are living and working in peace and contentment, so I beg you, don't you stop messing up this case that has already been closed?"
"But we all know that Liu Ming is just a substitute for the dead, he doesn't know martial arts with Ben, do we want to let the real murderer go unpunished?"
Zhao Wuwu's firm eyes were determined not to look back if he didn't find out the real murderer.
"Well, it's a big deal, I'll just check it myself!"
After he finished speaking, he turned around and walked away.
"You, you...... I'm me, I'm here, huh!"
He was so stubborn that Cao Fuyin wanted to say it but didn't dare to provoke it, so if he didn't say it, he was unhappy in his heart. He stretched out his finger, Zhao Wuwu's back was just about to scold, but when he saw the pretending to come out of it, he hurriedly smiled and wiped the sweat from his forehead while fanning the wind with his sleeve.
"Tell me, it's really hot today!"
Seeing that the work was far away, he took a deep breath and put down his hand,
"Let's go, let's go, you go, I'll go, who can't do it with two legs?!"
He gritted his teeth and stomped his feet, and after a dashing turn, he followed away.
This Zhao Wuwu walked to the door of Nan'an Mansion and was about to knock on the door, when suddenly a voice sounded behind him.
"Why are you here, could it be that you are looking for me to return the twenty wen?"
Shen Yan stood on the street, looking at the official costume who had just returned from patrol. He beckoned the officials behind him to go first, and then he took three steps and two steps to Zhao Wuwu, and saw that he habitually raised his hand and saluted.
"Brother Shen, I came here to ask about the previous case. ”
Shen Yan thought it was important, so he couldn't help waving his hand and said, "Hey, isn't the case all closed, what else is there to ask?"
"You and I both know that there are still many doubts in this case. ”
Looking at Zhao Wuwu's serious face, Shen Yan couldn't help but close his eyes and hold his forehead.
"I said Zhao Gongzi, oh no Zhao Ye! Our Nan'an Mansion, although the temple is small, but there are many things, you see that I am busy all day long, not as idle as Zhao Gongzi. ”
Zhao Wuwu is still unwilling to give up.
"If you don't investigate this case with me, I won't give you the twenty wenties. ”
Shen Yan snorted and laughed.
"It's not...... It's like our Shen family, my dignified Young Master Shen lacks these twenty yuan, just when I give alms to the beggars on the side of the road that day, can't I do it?"
If you want to blackmail him with a mere twenty taels of silver, you don't want to treat him as a green onion!
"Since Brother Shen insists on doing so, then I have no choice but to report to Lord Shen that when I went out to investigate that day, Brother Shen went to Chunxiang Building to 'inquire' about the situation, and maybe I can find a lot of clues because of this!"
Shen Yan grabbed Zhao Wuwu, who was about to step into Nan'an Mansion with his left foot, and pulled him back.
"Okay, I'm afraid that you can't do it? Say, how do you want to investigate, I can say in advance that I will never do anything that burns too much money, and I have to keep the silver to reward the cherry girl!
After Shen Yan finished speaking, he didn't pay attention to Zhao Wuwu's wandering expression, and suddenly a terrible thought came to his mind.
"How can it be that Brother Zhao, you have ...... Broken sleeves?"
After speaking, he swallowed his saliva, wrapped his hands around his chest, and subconsciously stepped back his legs.
As if he had thought of something, Zhao Wuwu suddenly came back from his distraction.
"Brother Shen, what did you just say?"
"I said you have a habit of breaking your sleeves?"
"That's not right. ”
"I said you don't like to visit the Qinglou, it's better to go to the Qinglou the night before you died, you went to the Qinglou?"
Zhao Wuwu's eyes gradually lit up, and he nodded affirmatively.
"Yes, that's it! A person who is about to commit suicide, will he still be in the mood to go to the Qinglou the night before?"
Shen Yan thought about it carefully.
"What if he's going to eat and drink enough and have enough fun to go on the road with peace of mind?"
Zhao Wuwu looked at him, not wanting to have extra words.
Shen Yan thought he had told a joke, but the current atmosphere was really a bit embarrassing, so he had to change the topic.
"So where do we start now?"
Zhao Wuwu looked at him and said seriously: "First of all, we must check from the person who told you this news." ”
Isn't that just a visit to the Qinglou, Shen Yan was happy at that time.
"Then what are you doing in a daze, why don't you hurry up?"
Zhao Wuwu looked at his dress from top to bottom and asked, "Are you sure you want to wear an official uniform?"
Shen Yan looked down, gave him a look that you are really good enough, and ran in to change his clothes as if he had grease on the soles of his feet. He had just changed his clothes and ran out, when he happened to run into Shen Cong'an getting up from a nap and opening the door of the study.
"You panicked, where are you going to cause trouble?"
Shen Yan stopped with a sudden brake, walked slowly past Shen Cong'an, and said in a low voice: "Dad, then Brother Zhao and I plan to go to the bookstore to buy some military books and come back to read." ”
Shen Cong'an's originally gloomy face immediately smiled when he saw Zhao Wuwu coming forward at the door and bowing.
"Then you go!"
Shen Yan turned around and quickened his pace, he raised his eyebrows and secretly compared to Zhao Wuwu, and quickly pulled him out and ran out.
If his father knew that he had taken the son of the Zhao family to visit the Qinglou, he would not have to chase him all over the city with his big knife!
