At night, Chu Zheng slowly opened his eyes.

He got up and got dressed, looked inside the room, and after confirming that Chu Qingqing was still sleeping, he walked towards the door.

When he arrived at the door, Chu Zheng took out a bottle of oil from his arms, poured it into the gap, and pushed the door open.

He learned this from Li Mingzhu.

Perhaps because of the lack of skill, when this door is opened, there is some noise, but it will not disturb others.

After coming out, it was the dead of night.

It's just that there is a faint noise and strange wheezing nearby.

Chu Zheng followed the road and arrived in front of Li Ming's courtyard.

At this time, the gate of the courtyard is locked, and the only sound inside is the sound of banana leaves being blown by the wind.

"This plantain is really good." Chu Zheng looked at the plantain growing out of the wall from outside the courtyard, and sighed in his heart.

Ordinary plantains will wither in winter, but the plantains here are still so beautiful in such cold weather, and there is no sign of withering at all.

Immediately, Chu Zheng did not hesitate, found a corner, jumped lightly, climbed the wall with both hands, and then used his arm to prop himself up and jump into the courtyard.

The whole movement, he didn't leave a trace on the wall.

After entering the courtyard, Chu Zheng saw a few cut plantains at first glance, placed in the corner on the side.

These plantains have signs of being broken.

Chu Zheng estimated that this was the plantain that was broken by Zhang Shan.

Looking at the verdant leaves on the plantain next to him, compared to the broken plantain, Chu Zheng deeply realized why Li Ming was scolding.

Even if it's him, such a person who doesn't have any special feelings for Basho. I also feel that Zhang Shan has gone too far.

This also affects the aesthetics.

And if you want to take plantain leaves, then take plantain leaves, why break the plantain tree?

This kind of thing, resting on him, he can't stand it.

Then, Chu Zheng began to look for some useful clues in this courtyard.

Li Ming was kind to him.

The other party gave his sister banana leaves to treat wind and cold, and also provided himself with basic swordsmanship to make up for his shortcomings.

Chu Zheng felt that if necessary, he still had to help the other party.

So he's going to come here tonight, looking for some useful clues.

After all, this is where this case took place.

The yard is not big, so you can see it clearly at a glance.

The main thing in the yard is the pond and the plantain next to the pond.

In addition, there is a pavilion on the opposite side of the pond with a tea table.

That was where Li Ming entertained him before.

Chu Zheng was here, and he could even imagine the scene of Li Ming in the rain, listening to the sound of the rain hitting the plantains, and slowly tasting tea.

It's a bit cozy.

Then, Chu Zheng looked in front of the house.

The house was locked at this time, and when you looked through the window, the furnishings inside had not been touched.

There are no anomalies.

Chu Zheng was in the courtyard again, looked for a while, and suddenly paused.

He noticed that something was not quite right with the plantain next to the pond.

The bottom of these plantains, which is a little different from the others, is covered with some silt.

With the dryness and hardness of the silt, Chu Zheng felt that this should have been done more than ten days ago.

Looking at the sludge, something suddenly occurred to him, and he looked at the pond beside him, and roughly guessed where the sludge came from.

"Does this poisoning case have anything to do with this sludge?" Chu Zheng looked at this new sludge and thought to himself.

The sludge appeared a little too coincidentally, and the time happened to be around the time of the case.

Maybe it has a lot to do with this case.

And at this time, Chu Zheng felt something in his heart, and suddenly raised his head and looked at the roof.

Above the roof, however, there was nothing but pitch-black tiles.

Chu Zheng's brows furrowed, he didn't know why, he just felt as if something was secretly peeking at him.

Standing there and thinking for a moment, he ran to the base of the wall, climbed over it with ease, and landed firmly on the ground.

Since breaking through to the leather training realm, what he feels most deeply is that his legs are a little stronger.

What has been impossible to do before can now be easily done.

Behind the roof, a dark shadow hid here.

"This kid looks like he's just a nine-rank training skin, how can he feel so keenly?" The shadow murmured.

Then, he smiled bitterly, "Could it be that my strength has weakened to the point where even a Ninth Rank Martial Artist can perceive me?" ”

He shook his head and sighed: "But what the young master said is not wrong, after this person returns to Qamdo Mansion, he will really come to help, he is not wrong." ”

Then he was ready to leave.

But at this time, his expression paused for a moment, and his figure was immediately hidden.

He saw a person in the darkness slowly approaching in his direction.

The other party is hidden in the shadows, and the breath is very secret, and if you don't observe carefully, you won't be able to find the other party at all.

"No?" Chu Zheng hid in the darkness, staring at the eaves with a pair of eyes.

But he didn't notice anyone existing.

"Is it because I've been through too many things lately, and my nerves are a little sensitive?"

Chu Zheng shook his head, turned around and disappeared into the darkness.

"This kid ......," the dark shadow in the corner of the eaves reddened slightly.

He didn't expect that he was such an old man and almost turned over the ditch on a kid.

In the end, he is an old Jianghu, or is the other party an old Jianghu?

This thought is a little too meticulous.

Then he continued to hide in the dark.

It didn't take long for the shadow to find the kid hiding somewhere and constantly watching him.

If he hadn't hidden it, he would have been discovered.

"It's really cunning." The dark shadow smacked his lips and sighed.

If he had such a delicate mind when he was young before, he would not have been hunted down so badly.

"However, that kid's technique of concealing his breath is really a little weird, and even I almost didn't notice it." The black shadow frowned, "This exercise, it seems that I have heard it somewhere." ”

He tapped his head, and couldn't remember where he had heard it.

"Forget it, it doesn't matter." The black shadow shook his head, "Let's tell the young master about this." ”

After speaking, his figure flashed in the night.

Chu Zheng returned to the courtyard.

"Is it really my delusion?"

After entering the courtyard, Chu Zheng frowned.

He shook his head, no longer thinking about it.

Thinking about these things now is just adding unnecessary troubles to yourself.

However, Chu Zheng also raised some vigilant thoughts in his heart.

Lately, you have to be careful.

At this moment, Chu Zheng's footsteps suddenly stopped and looked into the room.

He found that the candles had been lit in the room, I don't know when.

"Squeak......" The door was slowly pushed open, and Chu Qingqing stood in front of the door and looked at Chu Zheng.

Being stared at like this by Chu Qingqing, Chu Zheng was a little nervous for a while.

This reminded him of the scene when he went to the Internet café in his previous life and was blocked by the head teacher at the door of the Internet café.

"I'm back." Chu Qingqing said softly.

"I'm back." Chu Zheng said in a low voice.

"Just come back and rest early." Chu Qingqing nodded, opened the door, and let Chu Zheng in.

Chu Zheng pursed his lips and entered the room.

"I woke up in the night, and when I saw that you were not there, I couldn't sleep." When Chu Qingqing entered the room, he said softly.

"Sister, I'm ......" Chu Zheng opened his mouth to explain.

But at this time, Chu Qingqing shook his head, interrupted him, and said, "I'm not telling you this, and I don't want you to explain anything.

After going through those things, I also know very well that you are not an ordinary young man, and you have your own opinions. ”

Speaking of this, she sniffed and whispered, "I just want you to know that you are not alone in this world. In this world, there is a person who has always been thinking about you. That way, you won't do anything too dangerous. ”

Chu Zheng stood in place and was silent for a while.

"I see, sister." He looked at Chu Qingqing and said softly.

Hearing his words, Chu Qingqing breathed a sigh of relief, and then said with a smile, "Then I'll go to sleep, and you can rest well." ”

With that, she blew out the oil lamp in the room and entered the room.

Chu Zheng exhaled softly, he felt that when he faced zombies, the psychological pressure was not so great.

Then, with a shake of his head, he sat down on the bed, his mind recalling his sister's words.

Chu Zheng found that in fact, he was not the only one who grew up in suffering.

And his sister.

In the memory of his predecessor, Chu Zheng vaguely remembered that although his sister was sensible, she definitely couldn't say such things.

"That'...... In the future, live well. Chu was lying on the bed, looking at the dark beams, and thought to himself.
