Chapter 77: The Sycamore Tree

The secret letter she just found had the intention of acceptance. The writer wanted to bring Chu Kun under his command, and mentioned the word "jade seal" in the letter.

According to historical records, the jade seal disappeared when the palace soldiers were twenty years ago, could it be that the ancestral thing of the Qi family is actually the jade seal of the country?

Liu Ruyan's thoughts fluttered, remembering that the head of the Qiu family once said, Yuliang.

The jade is moist, the tentacles are warm, and after so many people's hands, how can it be cold, unless it has been dropped at that time. Among them, Chu Kun is the most motivated, but the jade seal is not his own hands, there must be an internal response in the lobby, who is the accomplice, she already has the answer in her heart.

It's just that Lord Liu's death is indeed a strange death, this group of people originally came for treasures, what went wrong.

Liu Ruyan held a stack of cakes and walked back to the courtyard unconsciously.

It was overcast in the evening, and it was dark early at night.

The Qi family sent food boxes to each house and courtyard, as well as rice and rice, which is rare in the north, which are crystal full and have a fragrant and glutinous taste.

Liu Ruyan picked up a pinch with chopsticks: "This rice tastes good." ”

Shen Yanchu: "The taste is acceptable. ”

Bai Zhi: "The Qi family treats people well, very good, very good. ”

A dignified medicine immortal, one meal was bought into people's hearts.

When the night was getting darker, Liu Ruyan finished eating and planned to find out the whereabouts of the jade seal again.

Follow the path into the garden, the sycamore leaves fall, and the broad leaves are like human hands.

Liu Ruyan raised her head, the tree where Liu Shangshu hanged herself was in front of her, she didn't see anything unusual during the day, and at night, she saw a white light between the trees.

There were no stars at night, only a faint moonlight shining through the ink clouds.

She stepped forward, and a faint glimmer of light appeared in the foliage.

Liu Ruyan stopped to watch, there seemed to be a wind blowing in her ears, and the sycamore leaves slowly fell, until her shoulders sank, and she caught a glimpse of the leaves that fell on her shoulders as a human hand.

Liu Ruyan paused, looked at the falling shadow on the ground, behind her, there were people.

The spring night was silent, and the person standing behind her suddenly spoke: "What are you doing here? ”

Liu Ruyan's twisted eyebrows finally flattened, and he said without looking back: "How can you walk without making a sound." ”

Shen Yanchu walked around in front of her, looking a little stunned: "Why do you want to make a sound when you walk?" ”

"Okay, okay." She responded casually, and walked around the man again to the plane tree, "Do you see that light, like what?" ”

Shen Yanchu also raised his eyes to look: "Like a cat." ”

Liu Ruyan nodded, remembering that there was no light on the tree during the day, why did the cat shadow only appear at night?

She pondered hard, now that the cause of Lord Liu's death is unknown, will the cat shadow be deliberately depicted by the murderer, and it can only appear at night. And Liu Shangshu has a strong physique and has the divine power to pierce Yang in a hundred steps. If you want to murder people without God knowing, and make Bai Zhi unable to detect it, there must be some special method.

Liu Ruyan looked up at the treetops, the murderer came prepared, and he must meet two conditions at the same time, that is, his arm strength is amazing and his light skills are superb.

There were still many doubts, and she stared up, exhaled, rolled up her sleeve, and prepared to climb the tree.

Shen Yanchu stopped her at the right time, but his brows furrowed: "Why are your hands so cold?" ”

She sighed: "Although it is spring, it will still be cold at night, and my cold hands and feet are not a day or two." ”

Shen Yanchu held the cold hand, and when it was held in the palm of his hand, it was like a tuft of snow, light and cold, and he could firmly control it with one hand.

He lowered his eyes, and the five tiny nails shone with pale pink pearles, as if stirring the silent lake in his palm when he crossed the palm.

Weilan.

Liu Ruyan pulled out her fingers, turned around at the moment, and looked at the phantom among the trees: "I have to climb up and take a look." ”

As she spoke, she climbed up, and in the blink of an eye she was there, and she twisted it with her fingertips: "It looks like a powder made of fluorite, but this white phosphorescence is really rare." ”

She took out the dagger from her bosom, carefully scraped off the powder from the bark, and wrapped it in a handkerchief: "Go back and show it to Bai Zhi." ”

After doing all this, Liu Ruyan turned back to him: "How did you know that I would come to the garden?" ”

She had rarely been alone with him since he had regained his memory, and tonight's encounter surprised her.

Shen Yanchu walked side by side with her, and said slowly: "The cause of death of the military department is strange, presumably you will return to the scene of the crime at night to find some clues." ”

"You can see through it."

He shook his head: "Your mind is not difficult to guess. ”

"Oh? Then you know, why am I avoiding you? ”

Shen Yanchu stopped and looked at her: "Because you are afraid." ”

Liu Ruyan smiled and said nothing.

When the two returned to the small courtyard, Bai Zhi had not yet rested, he took the handkerchief handed by Liu Ruyan, unfolded it, twisted it with his fingers, and put it under his nose to sniff.

He asked Xiang Liu Ruyan, looking puzzled: "In addition to fluorite and pearls, there is also the smell of insect corpses, where did you get this?" ”

"Just the tree where Liu Shangshu hanged himself." She replied casually.

Bai Zhi's face became solemn, carefully distinguishing the smell in between, and suddenly raised his head: "It's a centipede, the centipede is dried and crushed into powder." ”

Liu Ruyan was puzzled: "It's just that why do you want to smear centipedes on trees?" ”

Angelica Angelica is also puzzled.

"At the autopsy this morning, did you find that the cause of Lord Liu's death was different?" Shen Yanchu asked suddenly.

Bai Zhi nodded: "If you hang yourself, the deceased's fingers will curl up, but Lord Liu's fingertips droop, which is obviously not in line with common sense." ”

Shen Yanchu was silent for a moment: "If the murderer stunned him before getting him away, in this way, the target is too obvious, maybe the deceased had been to Yiyuan before his death." ”

Shen Yanchu twisted the powder and said amazingly: "It was this fluorescent light that caused him to go rashly." ”

As soon as these words came out, even Liu Ruyan was stunned. When she broke into Yiyuan that night, she was indeed attracted by Bai Ying, thinking about it this way, the time and scene of the crime can be matched, but what is the motive for the crime?

Unable to think of a reason, she replied, and Shen Yanchu also walked out of the door.

The two walked side by side, and when her fingertips brushed the back of his hand, Shen Yanchu paused.

"Your hands are so cold, or do you feel cold?"

Liu Ruyan clasped her hands: "I guess I'm tired, just go back and sleep." ”

"The day will come when things will come to light." Shen Yanchu's tone was calm, "Don't worry too much. ”

"I know." She responded lightly.

It wasn't until the two of them walked into the wing room together that Liu Ruyan was a little stunned: "Next door is your house." ”

Shen Yanchu pushed open the door and leaned on the head of her bed: "Sleep, I'll leave when it's dawn." ”

Liu Ruyan looked at the other party, trying to see some emotions on his face: "Are you worried about me?" ”

The clinker was a cold eye.

The candle flame was lit all night, Shen Yanchu slept in his clothes, his expression was quiet, and it was not until the sky broke that he opened his eyes, looked at the sleeping person beside him, covered the bedding for her, and then got up silently and walked to the door.

When Liu Ruyan woke up, the sky was already bright, and the devil warmed her bed, and the chill of early spring seemed to dissipate overnight. She rolled over in bed and saw that there was no one in the room.

She propped up her head, secretly thinking that his speech was a bit of a loss, but his mind was delicate, and he cooperated with her tacitly, if it weren't for being long-cherished enemies, the two could be called irreversible friends, but how long could this kind of time last.
