One

Shen He couldn't sleep, he was lying on the bed and analyzing the current situation, he sorted out what happened over and over again, but he still didn't have a clue, so he fell asleep in a trance. I don't know how long he slept, he suddenly saw a cold light flashing, he subconsciously raised his left hand to block the light, and then suddenly felt a sharp pain, he opened his eyes to see that it was a knife cutting on his raised left hand. He looked at the knife. I saw a man with a black veil staring at him, and seeing that he blocked the fatal knife with his hand, he swung the knife and slashed at him again. Shen He hurriedly dodged and dodged, and the man with the black veil saw this, but stopped attacking and turned to leave. Shen He saw that he was going to leave and didn't care about his still bleeding left hand, and after turning over, he quickly put on his clothes and picked up the matching sword at the head of the bed, and hurriedly chased out.

As soon as he went out, he saw that the man with the black veil was not far away, so he hurriedly chased after him, the man saw him coming, and then he went forward again, and soon the man went to the patio and then went on the roof, Shen He also followed him on the roof, the man saw that he was still chasing, so he swept down the roof and ran to the top of the island behind the house, Shen He followed closely behind, chased for a while, Shen He suddenly thought that the person would not deliberately lead himself to the top of the island, so he stopped, not forward, But the black shadow in front of him seemed to be watching him all the time, and when he saw him stop, the man also stopped and said: Are you afraid and don't dare to chase after him?

Shen He felt a little familiar when he heard the voice, and hurriedly asked: Who are you?

The man: If you're a man, you'll know if you come and see it.

Shen He said: You can't be considered a man in terms of what you did tonight.

The man sneered: "You rat who entered other people's wife's room at night, do you dare to mention the word man?" ”

Shen He suddenly reacted when he heard him say this: I said, how can I feel that the voice is familiar, it turns out that you are Qin Zhong.

So he walked towards the man, and when he got closer, he saw through the faint moonlight that the person was indeed Qin Zhong. And at this time, Qin Zhong had also taken off his veil, as if he was not afraid of being recognized by him, only to see that Qin Zhong was still holding a cold knife in his hand, and the knife was bleeding, his blood.

Shen He said: I didn't expect it to be you, so you arranged all this behind your back? But I can't figure out how you can do it to your own wife. Is it because after that incident, although you have been very affectionate on the surface in the past few years, but in private, she has long been estranged from you, and you have not even slept together at night.

Qin Zhong said with a smile: I can't imagine that now, you will still say that the person behind the troublemaker is me. Isn't the person behind that you, that is, you first poisoned Fang Yulong unknowingly, and then entered my wife's room at night, so you killed my wife again. Today, he attacked and killed Mr. Cao's dart head in broad daylight. Do you think you'll be able to hide it from everyone? It's a pity that when you went to my wife's room, my wife ripped off a corner of her clothes. When I went to the lady's room this morning, I felt a little familiar when I saw the corner of the dress, and then I remembered that it was not the minority costume you wore when you came. And I've noticed that you deliberately changed your outfit today. I was going to tell you all about it, but I'm afraid it might just startle you and make you wary. Even during the meal, I wondered if I should add something to your meal, but unfortunately I didn't know anything about using poison, so I had to take your dog's life tonight while you were asleep, and avenge my wife. It's a pity that the heavens don't fulfill people's wishes.

Shen He said in his heart: I was indeed ripped off the corner of my clothes by Mrs. Qin that day, no wonder he misunderstood me so much. But I'll just make it clear to him.

So Shen He opened his mouth and said: It seems that you have misunderstood me, I did go to Mrs. Zun's room last night, but it was because I was called by someone with a dart. As a matter of fact......

Without waiting for Shen He to continue, Qin Zhongdao: I am still making up stories, it seems that there is only one word for people like you, kill. After that, he swung his knife and took Shen He directly, and the two fought for several rounds in a row.

Shen He said angrily: I pity your wife for having such a thing, so you will lose your mind, but you don't have to inch in, otherwise I will not be polite.

Qin Zhong sneered: "You madman, you are still so arrogant. Do you really think I can't kill you?"

His voice fell, and the two fought together again. Shen He saw that he was attacking quickly and that it was all killing moves, and he said in his heart that this person seemed to really want to kill me. It seems that you can't be careless, otherwise you have to explain here tonight, thinking of this, after he counterattacked several times in a row, he suddenly dodged to the side and then ripped off the corner of his clothes, and bandaged his injured left arm simply, as soon as he bandaged it, he saw Qin Zhong killing him again, so he hurriedly raised his sword to meet it, and the two fought dozens of rounds later.

Shen He thought to himself: I can't be entangled by him like this, I still have to find a way to get out. So he thought that it would be better to sell a flaw, and then take the opportunity to knock down his knife, and he would have a chance to leave. So he deliberately sold a flaw, Qin Zhong saw that he showed a flaw, so he was overjoyed and hurriedly waved his knife to attack the flaw, but as soon as he made a move, he found that he was wrong, it was not a flaw at all, but the other party deliberately lured him to make a move, but at this time it was too late to retract the knife, and at this time he found that Shen He suddenly made a move, and a sword went straight to his chest. Qin Zhong saw that it was too late to dodge, so he took a strange posture and wanted to dodge, but in fact, it was Shen He who was just a false move, and in fact he wanted to attack his hand holding the knife. But he didn't expect Qin Zhong's strange strain, but it was self-defeating, and in the end, he pierced Qin Zhong's chest with a sword.

Seeing that after Qin Zhong fell, Shen He was like a deflated ball, and his whole body was paralyzed, and he thought to himself: How could things have become like this. He actually entered Mrs. Qin's room by mistake first, and now he killed Qin Zhong by mistake here. He thought of the fact that the dart passed the book to lead him to Mrs. Qin's room, and then looked at the scene in front of him, and understood that he had walked into someone else's trap step by step, and he couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat when he thought of it. He slowed down for a while before standing up, and he thought of what Qin Zhong said just now, the corner of the clothes that had been torn off, so he walked quickly to Qin Zhong's body, and soon found the corner of the clothes, and after he put it away, he quickly dealt with the scene before disappearing into the night.

Monk Yuanzhen's habit is to wake up at dawn. Today, it is no exception. He leaned on his elbow and listened. The wind had weakened somewhat, but it was still blowing, and the rain was inaudible...... Later, the wind blew even more violently. However, Monk Yuanzhen did not hear it. He fell asleep again. Half an hour later, he got up and looked out the window, revealing a strange smile like a wolf, peculiar to men. He whispered very softly, "I see that the time has come, and I have to do something about it." A moment later, he knocked on Shen He's closed door. Shen He cautiously opened the door. His hair was still unkempt and his eyes were saggy. Monk Yuanzhen said very politely: "I slept for six hours? Okay, it means that you have a clear conscience. ”

Shen He only said three words: "Is there something wrong?" ”

Monk Yuanzhen replied, "Has anyone called you – or has it brought you tea?" Do you know what time it is? ”

Shen He turned his head to look at the leaky moment on the table and said, "It's almost time, I didn't expect that I would sleep until now." Where did you say Qin Zhong was, I didn't hear him come this morning."

Monk Yuanzhen said, "Let the echo answer you." ”

"What do you mean by that?" Monk Yuan Zhen said, "I mean that Qin Zhong is gone. He wasn't in his room, and I didn't see him anywhere else. In addition, the kettle was not boiled, and there was not even a fire in the kitchen. ”

Shen He deliberately scolded his mother in a low voice: "What the hell, where can he go?" Did you go somewhere on the island? When I'm dressed, we'll ask if anyone knows. Monk Yuanzhen nodded. He walked next to the closed doors. He saw that Nangong Jin had already gotten up and was almost dressed. Lu Feng, like Shen He, had to wake him up from his sleep. Liang Feiyan had already finished dressing up, but Master Hua Yun's room was empty, as Monk Yuan Zhen said, Qin Zhong's room was empty. View from the bed. It seems that someone has slept, but the handkerchief for washing is dry.

Monk Yuanzhen said: "It seems that I got up, but I went out without washing." Liang Feiyan forced his composure, deliberately calm and whispered: "Look, will he hide for a while and wait for us to get up?" ”

Monk Yuanzhen said: "Miss Liang, I don't know if he will be as you said." But I advise everyone not to get separated until we find Qin Zhong. ”

Nangong Jin said: "He thinks he should have run to the island." ”

Nangong Jin finished speaking. Shen He had just arrived, and he had changed his clothes today, but he didn't see anything special. He asked, "Do any of you know where Master Hua Yun has gone?" ”

No one gave him an answer, but as soon as they reached the hall, Master Hua Yun walked in through the front door, she was wearing a raincoat. "The sea is still rising so high, I don't think there will be a boat going out to sea today." She said.

Shen He said: "Has Mrs. Shi been wandering around the island alone this morning?" Could it be that what has happened has not worried Shi Tai? Mrs. Hua Yun said, "Thank you for your concern, although I am alone, I am very attentive everywhere. Shen He muttered, "Then have you seen Qin Zhong?" ”

Master Hua Yun raised his eyebrows and said, "Qin Zhong? No, I didn't see him this morning. What's wrong? Lu Feng shaved his beard, got dressed, went downstairs to the door of the open dining room and said, "Look at the breakfast table has been set." ”

Monk Yuanzhen said, "He may have set it up last night." They walked into the dining room together and saw glasses, plates, and chopsticks neatly arranged, and wine glasses on the pantry in rows. In the end, Liang Feiyan was the first to see it, and she grabbed Lu Feng's arm. Her fingers pinched the old man's back. She shouted out loudly, "Look at those little porcelain figures!" "There are only six small porcelain figures in the middle of the table!

Later, it didn't take long for them to find Qin Zhong. He was in the roadside grass at the back of the yard leading to the top of the island. The whole person was already out of breath, and he still had a knife in his hand. After some examination, the doctor told everyone that he had been dead for several hours, and that he had died by the sword, and that he had been stabbed to death with a sword......

Three

"It's too obvious," Nangong Jin said, "The murderer killed him with a sword after fighting him," Lu Feng said: "So the murderer is a master with a sword, isn't it a miracle doctor?"

Nangong Jin said solemnly: "That's exactly what I meant. As he spoke, he hurriedly looked around, and Liang Feiyan and Hua Yun Shitai stood without speaking.

"I don't look like Miss Liang is a sword-maker, as for Master Huayun, Emei's swordsmanship is indeed not bad, and it is not difficult to take someone's life with a sword." Lu Feng nodded contemplatively. Shen He, who was squatting there, sighed and stood up and said, "There are no other clues left at the scene, it seems that the scene has been dealt with." ”

After they carried the people back to the backyard, Mrs. Hua Yun and Liang Feiyan tacitly entered the kitchen together, and not long after, there was a loud laugh - everyone hurriedly turned around. Liang Feiyan appeared in the courtyard again. Her shouting was loud and high-pitched, mixed with wild laughter: "They actually keep bees on the island?" Tell me about it! Where did they get the bees? Ha ha! Haha" Everyone stared at her. Be all abroad! A normal and stable girl went crazy in front of everyone. And he continued to scream in a strange voice. "Don't stare at me like that! It's like you're all thinking I'm crazy. The questions I asked couldn't be more normal. Bees, bees, bees! Why don't you understand? Haven't you read that nursery rhyme? You've got it in your room – it's there for you to learn! If I don't have any problems in my brain, I think of this when I see this: seven demons came to the world, and one demon lost his life in a duel; Only six are left in the world. There are also the following paragraphs. I can recite them all, six demons have come to the world, and one demon has been stung and cannot live; Only five remained. I tell you! That's why I asked-you just said that Qin Zhong should have been killed when he was fighting against people, which corresponds to losing his life in a duel, so now there are bees here? - Isn't that interesting? - Isn't that fucking interesting? She started laughing maniacally again. Nangong Jin strode over, stretched out his hand and slapped her hard. She gasped, burped—and swallowed—and stood there for a long time, not moving. Then she said, "Thank you...... I'm fine now. Her voice returned to its calmness and self-control—back to its usual tone. She turned around and walked across the courtyard into the kitchen, and said, "Master Hua Yun and I will come and make you breakfast." Can you — get some firewood to make a fire? Her cheeks were red. After she walked into the kitchen, Shen He said, "Very good, you handled it well, Divine Doctor." ”

Nangong Jin said apologetically: "I have to do this!" Otherwise, the situation will be out of control. ”

Monk Yuanzhen said: "She is not the kind of woman who is prone to hysterical seizures. ”

Nangong Jin agreed: "Of course not. She was a calm girl, but she was suddenly stimulated. It's the same for whoever encounters it. "They brought the chopped wood to the kitchen. Liang Feiyan and Mrs. Hua Yun are busy! Mrs. Hua Yun was adding firewood to the stove, while Liang Feiyan was cutting off the crust of the salted meat piece by piece. Master Hua Yun said, "Thank you. Let's try to be as fast as we can – about a quarter of an hour to three quarters of an hour. First, bring the water to a boil. ”

Four

Shen He whispered to Monk Yuanzhen in a thick voice, "Do you know what I'm thinking?" ”

Monk Yuanzhen said: "Since you want to tell me, then why bother to guess? "Shen He is a person who does things with a clear eye. So he didn't pay attention to Monk Yuanzhen's slightly sarcastic tone. He still went on in a rough voice: "There was such a case in Sichuan, where a young man broke into a nunnery by mistake. Not long after, he was found dead by a sword, not far from the nunnery. There lived an old nun and a little nun in the nunnery. As for the little nun, it was later found out that she could not have done it, because she was a helpless fellow. As for the old nun, she was a very respected monk. It seemed hard to imagine that she would do such a thing, so the government gave up. However, nothing else has been found in that case. He paused, "As soon as I saw that Qin Zhong was killed by the sword, I remembered this incident - and then I thought about the fact that when we entered the kitchen just now, she saw her there, very calmly, as if she hadn't even moved a single hair!" And Miss Liang, she had a hysterical seizure, but this is a normal reaction, what do you think? ”

Monk Yuanzhen replied simply: "Maybe." Shen He said again: "But, what about the other one! It was so calming. Wearing that apron—Madame Qin's apron, I can't think of it wrong—and saying something like, 'Breakfast is good in about three quarters of an hour'. If you ask me, I'm saying that this woman is crazy, and there are a lot of old women like that - I don't mean that they all kill people on a large scale, but just that they have weird ideas. If I want her to see her, she is a devout believer—and she may even consider herself the embodiment of justice! By the way, do you know what she's doing in the room? I kept reading the scriptures I didn't understand! ”

Monk Yuanzhen sighed and said, "These are difficult to prove that you said that she has strange ideas, and may even be behind the scenes, Shen He." But Shen He continued to speak, stubbornly and repeatedly trying to prove his argument: "Besides, she also ran out - wearing a raincoat, saying that she was going to see the sea or something...... Yuan Zhen still shook his head and said: "According to Nangong Divine Doctor, Qin Zhong was killed a few hours ago, that is, the person who killed him should have come out at night." And Mrs. Hua Yun only went outside this morning. If you want me to say, I think the murderer of Qin Zhong should sleep under the quilt. ”

Shen He said: "You didn't understand what I meant, Master Yuanzhen, although she is the former head of Emei, and her martial arts should not be weak, but after such an incident, she can still walk around freely outside." I don't think it's that simple, and there is only one explanation for it, which is that she is not afraid at all, that is, she is not worried that someone will do anything to her. But if the person behind it is not her, how can she not worry at all? ”

Monk Yuan Zhen said: "What you said also has some truth...... By the way, I didn't think of that. He smiled slightly, and added, "Fortunately, you don't doubt me anymore." Shen He said embarrassedly: "I was really a little worried about you at first, the secret weapon you brought was very dangerous, and I didn't believe the nonsense you said about the reason why you came here in the first place - I just didn't say it." But I can see now, although you were hiding something at the beginning, you weren't the one behind it? He paused and said, "I hope you don't get weird." Monk Yuan Zhen said thoughtfully: "Maybe I'll be wrong, but I don't think you're the kind of person who can do these things by scheming, and if you want me to say, if the murderer is really you, you can really fucking act - I really want to admire it from the bottom of my heart." Then, he lowered his voice and said, "Shen He, maybe one day won't pass, and both of us will have to whimper." God knows, the earth knows, you know, I know. Tell me about that perjury case, you're a ghost, right? ”

Shen He moved his legs back and forth undecidedly, and finally he said, "Anyway, it's the same now whether you say it or not, well, here's the thing." Fang Tingshi is indeed innocent, those people bought me, and we thought about pulling him together, I can tell you straight, I wouldn't ......admit it."

"There is heaven above, and there is earth below," said the monk Yuanzhen Yile, "I promise not to betray you." Dude, I see a lot of the benefits you get, right? ”

"Not as much as I originally estimated. These guys are really black-hearted. But anyway, I was finally promoted. ”

"And Fang Thorn Shi committed suicide in his room because of your careful design."

"I didn't know he was going to die!" Shen He asked rhetorically.

"That's not what I mean, I mean you're out of luck."

"Am I unlucky? You're saying he's unlucky? ”

"You're out of luck either. Because it seems that because you did this, your brother had no choice but to die early. ”

"Me?" Shen He's eyes widened and he said dryly, "Do you think I will end up like Qin Zhong and the others?" Sensei! I can tell you, I'm always careful!

Monk Yuanzhen said: "Ah, okay - I never swear by curses. And to put it simply, even if you die, I won't get any benefit. ”

"Then dare to ask Master Yuanzhen, what do you mean by this?" Monk Yuanzhen bared a mouthful of white teeth and said, "I mean, I think you have no way out. ”

"What?"

"You brainless can only let yourself sit and wait for someone to kill you, a guy who can use his or her brains like hiding behind our backs, he or she can put you in a trap whenever and whenever he wants." Shen He's face turned red, and he asked angrily, "What about you, master?" Monk Yuanzhen said with a fierce face: "I have a set of ways to deal with this kind of person. I've been taught all the tricky occasions before, and I've come through them all! I don't think I need to say anything else, I think I'll be able to get through this time. ”

Five

While eggs were frying in the pot, Liang Feiyan stood by the stove and wondered, "Why did I have a hysterical seizure?" It's stupid. Be calm, be calm! "What's more, she is calm about what she is going to do, and she has always been very smug." Miss Liang was amazing—level-headed and courageous—and immediately went down to the lotus pond to find Xiao Yun. "Why are you thinking about this now? Everything was in the past—the past had passed, and by the time she went down to the lotus pond, Xiao Yun had long since disappeared. She only felt that something was entangled in her, and dragged her to the bottom of the lotus pond. She deliberately floated desperately—swimming quietly, floating—until someone spotted her...... Everyone praised her for being fearless and calm...... But, Xiao Ping is not, Xiao Ping just-glanced at her...... Hey, it seems to see through her at a glance. And now when I think of Xiao Ping...... Where are the others? What is he doing? Is he married—is he married?

Master Hua Yun shouted sharply: "Miss Liang, the salted meat is burnt. ”

"Ah, I'm sorry Mrs. Shi, it's really mushy. Look, I'm stupid. Mrs. Hua Yun fished the last egg out of the squeaky oil pan. Liang Feiyan put the re-sliced bacon in the frying pan again. She asked curiously, "Mrs. Shi, you are really amazing, how calm you are!" ”

"That's how I grew up since I was a child, I have to be calm when I encounter problems, and I don't want to babble." Liang Feiyan naturally thought: "I have been bound by discipline since I was a child...... It does say a lot......" she said, "aren't you really afraid?" After a while, she added, "Or, aren't you afraid of death?" "Die! This word is like a sharp knife drilled straight into Hua Yunshi's sturdy and sturdy brain. Die! She wasn't going to die! Others will die—they will, but she, Master Hua Yun, will not. So she never felt scared, she seemed to have seen through life and death for a long time, like it was commonplace, and she wouldn't even blink her eyes! In addition, she thinks that she has always behaved well...... I have never done anything bad...... So she felt open and fearless.

"None of us want to leave this island." Who said that? It seems to be Mr. Cao's dart head! He didn't seem to care, but seemed happy! How terrible it is to have such thoughts! It can be said to be a sin. Some people just don't care about death, and often kill themselves themselves. Sister...... Last night she dreamed of her sister - she dreamed that she had put her face against the window from the outside, moaning, and begging to be allowed to come into the house. However, Mrs. Hua Yun just didn't want her to come in. Because, if she is allowed to come in, something terrible will happen...... Master Hua Yun suddenly returned to normal from his trance, and found that Liang Feiyan, the girl, was looking at her in great surprise, so he immediately said, and said very loudly: "Everything is ready, right?" Let's bring breakfast in! ”

Six

This breakfast was different from yesterday. Everyone was polite. "How about I get you some more tea, Mrs. Huayun?"

"Miss Liang, can you have some meat?"

"How about Mr. Lu have some cabbage again?" Six people, calm and calm on the outside. Actually, what about the heart? The ups and downs of thought are like fifteen buckets of water, seven up and eight down......

"Next? Next? Whose turn is it? What's going on? ”

"Does it work? I'm skeptical. However, it's always worth trying. As long as the time comes up, Amitabha, as long as the time comes up......"

"Very hidden old nun, not bad at all...... I don't see anything different from the outside, but ...... But what if I'm mistaken......"

"I didn't expect so many things to happen in just two days......"

"This fool, he believed everything I said. It's so easy...... But I still have to be careful, and I have to be very careful. ”

"Six little porcelain figures...... There are only six left—how many will there be tonight......"

"And the last egg, who's going to eat it?"

"Would you like something to drink?"

"Thank you. In addition to drinking, I can have some meat. "Six people were eating breakfast together, and everything seemed normal
