One

After breakfast, Mrs. Hua Yun proposed to ask Liang Feiyan to climb to the highest point on the island with her to see if the boat was coming, and Liang Feiyan agreed. The air was crisp and the sea was full of waves, but there were no boats to be seen except for the endless waters. Feiyunpu is still unrecognizable, only the high hillside, a jutting red rock cliff hidden by a small bay.

Master Hua Yun said: "The boatman who sent us to the island yesterday, I look quite reliable. But why he didn't come so late this morning is really a bit of a puzzle. Liang Feiyan didn't say anything. She was struggling to restrain the growing panic. She said angrily and secretly: "You must stay calm, how can this be like you as usual, aren't you the most stable yourself?" After a while, she spoke: "I wish he could come, I really want to get out of here." Master Hua Yun said expressionlessly: "I believe that everything here is the same as you think!" ”

Liang Feiyan said: "Since we came here, all this that has happened in just one or two days is too incomprehensible, two of the ten people we came here have died, but so far we haven't seen Ouyang senior or my cousin, I really don't understand what is going on, but I don't want to figure it out, the only thing I want is to leave as soon as possible, even if I go back to be a maid."

Master Hua Yun suddenly said involuntarily: "I didn't expect this either. This matter was strange from the beginning, in fact, I was careless this time, why did I come so easily, after all, we haven't been in touch for so many years, and now that I think about it, the letter is actually a little unreasonable. However, at that time, I had no doubts. ”

Liang Feiyan responded like a wooden man: "Me too." ”

"It's too much to take for granted." Huayun Shi Taidao. Liang Feiyan took a long breath tremblingly and said, "Do you really think it is—like you said at breakfast?" ”

"To be clear, girl, what do you mean?" Master Hua Yun said in a low voice.

"Do you really think that Qin Zhong and his gang killed Lin Yong's family?" Master Hua Yun stared thoughtfully at the sea. After a while she said, "That's what I personally think. What do you think? ”

"I don't know what to think."

Hua Yun Shitai said: "Everything proves my opinion. The woman fainted, and the man stumbled and dropped the teapot, remember? And the way he explained it, it sounded fake. So I think they did it. ”

Liang Feiyan said: "Mrs. Qin always looks like she is smiling, but she always feels that there is something behind the smile!" Maybe it's just to hide something in her heart, maybe something is tormenting her day and night......"

Master Hua Yun muttered: "I still remember a proverb hanging in the school hall when I was a child: 'What you sow, what you get' That's right, karma is like this.

'Karma'.

Liang Feiyan hurriedly stood up and said, "So,...... Shi Tai...... To put it this way......"

"What's wrong, Miss Liang?"

"What about those? What's going on with those? ”

"I don't quite understand what you mean."

"All the other accusations—those—are those also true? If you want to say that the incident between Qin Zhong and his wife is true-" She couldn't go on, her thoughts were too chaotic and her expression was not clear. Master Hua Yun's eyebrows, which were furrowed in confusion, stretched out.

She said, "Ah, now I know what you mean. For example, Fang Yulong, he personally admitted that he killed Zhou Wen and Zhou Wu's brothers by mistake. ”

Liang Feiyan said: "It is a fact that they were killed, but just like Fang Yulong said, their behavior is indeed a bit difficult, and they appear with weapons in the middle of the night......"

Hua Yunshi said sharply: "For Jianghu people, it is normal to carry weapons with them, just like a scholar carrying calligraphy and paintings. ”

Liang Feiyan thought to herself: "Even if it is normal for people in the rivers and lakes to carry weapons, but walking outside with weapons late at night, I'm afraid it's not ......, of course, Fang Yulong should really ask about the situation before making a move."

Master Hua Yun continued to think deeply and said, "Of course, some of these accusations are completely ridiculous and ridiculous. For example, the one that blames Lu Feng, Shaoqing of Dali Temple. He is simply fulfilling his duties within the scope of his authority. Also, like the former head catcher Shen He and my one, it's all the same. She paused and continued, "Naturally, I wasn't going to say anything given the circumstances of last night. It was not appropriate to discuss that issue in front of men. ”

"Isn't it appropriate?" Liang Feiyan heard the gods. Master Hua Yun said calmly: "My junior sister grew up with me, and we are like sisters. Although our personalities are very different, so it is inevitable that there will be some disagreements and even unpleasant things when we get along, but this is normal for everyone. Overall, we're still like sisters. We've been through a lot together and have so many fond memories. As for the time when she had an accident, I didn't expect it to be like that at all, there were three of us in total, but Master and his old man said that Senior Sister was the one of the three of us who really got her true inheritance, so after Master abdicated, let Senior Sister succeed him. But the junior sister didn't seem to be convinced, so she secretly went to the senior sister to compete in private, but she didn't expect that something would happen in this contest - it was too late when the master and I arrived. ”

Liang Feiyan stared at Master Hua Yun and asked, "So what the hell is going on, what happened to your junior sister and senior sister when they competed?" ”

"When Master and I arrived, my sister was no longer breathing, and my sister was standing next to my sister's corpse, holding a sword dripping blood in her hand, we guessed at the time, but I was just holding my sister and crying, or Master opened his mouth to ask what happened to my sister, and my sister said to Master: My sister suddenly asked her to compete in martial arts and said that she wanted to see if she had made any progress in her martial arts recently. So the senior sister agreed without hesitation, but she didn't expect that when they competed, the senior sister suddenly killed the killer, and the senior sister unintentionally killed her in a hurry. What saddens me even more is that not long after that incident, Master passed away."

Liang Feiyan was taken aback for a while after hearing this, and then said slowly: "Judging from what Mrs. Shi said, the death of your senior sister and junior sister really has nothing to do with you, the accusation on the picture scroll that you are responsible seems to be nonsense."

Hua Yunshi said with some sadness: "It's not that I have no responsibility, after all, I didn't find and stop them in time, otherwise there wouldn't have been such a tragedy, from this point of view." I do take responsibility for their deaths. ”

Nangong Jin walked out of the hall and came to Pinghe again. Lu Feng was sitting in a chair, looking out at the sea comfortably. Monk Yuanzhen was silent on the side, while Shen He was looking into the distance thoughtfully. See this. Nangong Jin hesitated for a while, and then his eyes fell on Lu Feng. He wanted to find someone to sum it up. The former Dali Temple Shaoqing's mind is both agile and organized, which he has understood. But he was still hesitant because although Lu Feng's brain was smart, he was old after all, and at this juncture, Nangong Jin felt that what he needed was a person who was sober-minded and preferably young and strong. So he made up his mind. "Master Yuanzhen, can I say a few words to you?"

Monk Yuanzhen was startled at first, and then said. "Absolutely." The two left the platform together. They walked down the slope toward the side of the sea. When they arrived at a place where no one could hear them, Nangong Jin said, "Let's have a consultation." Monk Yuanzhen frowned and said, "The divine doctor is joking with me, the poor monk doesn't understand the way of medicine." ”

"No, no, I mean to summarize where we are now."

"Amitabha, that's okay."

Nangong Jindao: "Frankly speaking, what does the master think now?" Yuan Zhen thought for a moment before saying, "You have something to say, right?" ”

"What do you think about the woman's death in her sleep? Do you agree with Shen He's analysis? Monk Yuanzhen looked up at the queen of heaven before saying, "I think that judging from her incident, what Shen He said is completely reasonable." ”

Nangong Jin seemed relieved when he heard him say this. He said in his heart: It seems that Master Yuan Zhen is very shrewd! Monk Yuan Zhen continued: "Let's think that Qin Zhong and his wife did do that kind of thing, in fact, in my opinion, with their strength, it should not be difficult to do it, but morally speaking, they will not do it." But on the other hand, if it were you, someone had done something like that to your wife, I mean, and had kidnapped her, what would you do, and would you have no information to recover after you found it? ”

Nangong Jin said slowly: "This assumption is meaningless, first of all, I have to admit that my wife is not as beautiful as Mrs. Qin, and in addition, I will hardly take her out, and she rarely goes out to show her face." Of course, if I want to say that I have become Qin Zhong, I know martial arts and my wife is so beautiful, and something like that happened, I will inevitably think about it, but it is difficult to say what I will do, I think it still depends on the situation and the person. After all, it's not that easy to kill someone, it's no better than killing a chicken or a dog. Yuan Zhen pondered and said: "You are from the perspective of an ordinary person, if you are a Jianghu person, you are very concerned about your own face. The situation is completely different for young people who are just starting out. Nangong Jin nodded. yes, so I said it's different from person to person, and everybody has a different way of dealing with things. ”

"And even if they did, no one would necessarily know." Master Yuan Zhen added another sentence. Suddenly, he frowned. "But—there's something wrong here."

Nangong Jin was puzzled by this statement: "What did you say? ”

Monk Yuan Zhen said: "I mean—here it means that the person who can write those things should have been near Lin Yong's house at the time of the incident, or someone nearby who saw all this and told him. But I think it's probably the latter, because he said so many people in the scroll, he couldn't have been on the scene. There is also the problem that even if he knows about some accusations and says them now, it seems that there is nothing he can do with the murderer. Like the accusation against Lu Feng, the former Shaoqing of Dali Temple, even if what he said is true, he is using the law to kill people, and ordinary people have no way to do anything to him."

Nangong Jin hurriedly said: "So Lu Feng's incident, do you believe it?" ”

Yuan Zhen laughed: "Ah, yes, I believe. Lu Feng killed Dong Qing, no problem, it was clear, just like he stabbed Dong Qing bloodily with a knife. But he couldn't have been more cunning. He wore an official uniform and held the law in his hand, standing high above the lobby, killing people without seeing blood! Therefore, according to normal means, can anyone cure his sin by such a small trick? ”

Suddenly, a thought appeared in Nangong Jin's mind like lightning: "Practicing medicine to kill people - surgery to kill people." Safe and secure! - Yes, as safe as in your own home! ”

Yuan Zhen continued: "It can be inferred from this that in this Qingfeng Island, someone is going to judge his prisoner himself! Nangong Jin took a deep breath. Someone? Who did he want to do to us when he brought us all here? Monk Yuanzhen smiled: "Then what do you think?" ”

Nangong Jin immediately said: "I don't know, but I think we can go back and say a few words about Mrs. Qin." How did that work? What are the possibilities? Is it true that Qin Zhong was afraid that she would say it and kill her, or is there other possibility, such as: She was delirious and committed suicide? ”

Monk Yuanzhen said, "Suicide, eh? ”

"What do you think?" Yuanzhen Monk Dao; "It's possible—yes—if Fang Yulong didn't braided before this. However, in less than six hours, there were two suicides in a row, which was unacceptable. Besides, if you tell me, there is a sturdy young man named Fang Yulong, who knows the height of the sky, is carefree, and sincerely kills himself just because he killed two people by mistake—right? That sounds ridiculous! Even so, where did he get the poison? As far as I know, poisons like Broken Gut Powder are not the kind of things that are casually put on the body and carried around and run. But then again, it's your business. ”

Nangong Jin said: "Ordinary people don't bring that kind of poison, this kind of poison is not something that can be obtained casually. Unless he wants to harm someone and goes to great lengths to get it, or he's a poisoner himself. ”

"That means that only people who want to deal with enemies and the like, or who like to use poison, will bring it? I don't think Fang Yulong is this kind of person? What I don't understand is the origin and cause of this poison, and this mystery has yet to be solved. Either Fang Yulong deliberately killed himself before he came here, so he was ready to come, or he said......"

Nangong Jin asked him: "Or say?" ”

Monk Yuanzhen grinned and bared his teeth: "Why don't you let me say it?" Isn't that right on your own lips? Of course, Fang Yulong was murdered. ”

Three

Nangong Jin took a deep breath. "And what about Mrs. Qin?" Monk Yuan Zhen said slowly: "If it weren't for Mrs. Qin's incident, despite the suspicions, I might still believe that Fang Yulong committed suicide. On the other hand, if it weren't for Fang Yulong's incident, I might have believed that Madam Qin had died of natural causes without any doubt. If it weren't for Fang Yulong's death, which was really difficult to explain - it was Qin Zhong who killed his wife, I would also believe it. Now it's two deaths, one after the other, and that's what needs to be explained. ”

Nangong Jin said: "I may be able to help you figure out this problem." So, he repeated what Qin Zhong had told him about the disappearance of the two little porcelain figures. Yuan Zhen said: "By the way, that little porcelain man who looks like a demon...... There must have been ten of them at dinner last night. You say there's only eight now? ”

Nangong Jin recited: "Ten demons came to the world, and one demon returned to heaven after drinking excessively; Only nine are left in the world. Nine demons came to the world, one demon fell into a nightmare and returned to heaven, and only eight were left in the world. The two looked at each other for a moment, and Yuan Zhen smiled again. There is no such hellish coincidence! Fang Yulong died of suffocation, or choking, after dinner yesterday, while Mrs. Qin overslept and died of sleep! ”

"So what?" Nangong Jin said. Monk Yuanzhen immediately took over the conversation: "So there is another problem, that is, the root of the problem!" Of course, this is still unknown! Who is behind all this, that is, Ouyang Xun himself still has a madman who doesn't know where he is, but is omnipresent and at ease! ”

"Your analysis makes sense." Nangong Jin took a breath and said lightly: "But, do you understand, what is the problem involved in this?" Qin Zhong swore and said that there was no one else on the island except for a few of us and their couples. ”

"Maybe Qin Zhong was mistaken! And Qin Zhong may also be lying! Nangong Jin shook his head. I don't think he's lying, after all, he's in the middle of it, and if it weren't for what was written on the scroll last night, maybe his wife would be alive and well. Yuan Zhen nodded. "There will be no boat coming this morning," he said. This is also worthy of stubble. It's the arrangement of the people behind it again. Qingfeng Island will be isolated from the world until the people behind it close this public case. Nangong Jin's face turned pale and said, "Do you think that this person is going to deal with all of us!" ”

Yuan Zhen changed his tone and said, "There is one thing that the people behind this should not have expected. ”

"Which point?"

"After all, this island is just a bare reef, right? We cut through the mess with a quick knife at a time, search it all over, and immediately find out the person behind it. ”

Dr. Nangong Jin warned: "The people behind this are dangerous! ”

Yuan Zhen laughed: "It's dangerous? Who's afraid of the big bad wolf? If I catch him, I'm in danger! He paused and said, "It's best if we bring Shen He to help us." He will be a good hand when it matters most. Of course, it's best not to let the know. As for the others, the head of the dart is old-fashioned and always feels unreliable. And Lu Feng feels like a guy who can only open his mouth to call people. So let's just do it for the three of us! ”
