"It's the endgame. The old man still buried his head and muttered, "The old decay has been solved for a few days. ”

After that, it seems to have changed back into a stone statue.

Lin Yi leaned over to look and saw that there were already a lot of chess pieces on the chessboard.

"Tick, include the chess game. ”

What? You still have this feature? Can that help me untie it?

This time the system ignored his question again.

Lin Yi sighed, he didn't know anything about Go, but the old man in front of him didn't seem to be able to communicate, so he had to pick up a sunspot and put it on.

The old man was slightly stunned, picked up a white child, and quickly put it down.

Lin Yi didn't care about it, and went down again.

After walking back and forth a few times, the old man sighed: "It's been a few days since anyone came to play chess with the old man." ”

"Ever since Liu Wenlin disappeared, there hasn't been one, right?"

"His chess is much more powerful than that of old decay. The old man fell into deep thought again, "These endgames were given to me by him, and they are worthy of coming out of the Mei Courtyard, and none of them can be solved." ”

He had a vague impression of the name Meiyuan, which seemed to be a place where he was very good at playing chess. But that's not the point.

"You mean, there are a lot of endgames?"

"Written on the chess game, in the old thatched house. ”

"Is that where he and you play chess? Can you let the juniors watch it?"

"Sometimes it's all around the lake, most of the time it's in the courtyard of the old man's house. The old man pondered for a while, and finally raised his head again, "If you don't know how to play, don't force it." ”

Lin Yi still wanted to pretend, after all, there are often chaos in novels that solve the thousand-year-old endgame in one son, and he was a little ashamed when he heard this, touched his head and said: "I'm ashamed, I'm investigating Liu Wenlin's disappearance, after all, he is also your chess friend, please help." ”

"The village is poor, and it's normal for young people to run away because they can't stand it. Old Man Wen touched his beard, "What do you want to know?"

"On the day he disappeared, did he come to play chess with you?"

"I came, but I didn't play chess, I seemed to be in a bit of a hurry, and I accompanied the old man to study the endgame for a while, and then left in a hurry. ”

"Did he say where he was going, was there anything out of the ordinary?"

"I didn't say it, that is, I don't have time to play today. Abnormal place......" Old Man Wen pondered for a while, and finally there was some light in his pupils trapped in the folds, "I talked to Lao Yu about the terrain around the village that day, and it seemed that I wanted to find a way out, but I still couldn't stand it and escaped? ”

Lin Yi asked a few more questions, but Old Man Wen couldn't answer anything. Later, at his strong request, the old man finally took him to the place where the two of them were playing chess, in the stone pavilion in the small courtyard of Old Man Wen's house.

As soon as Lin Yi sat down, he obviously felt a chill all over his body.

He hurriedly entered the inner vision, and this time he became a little more proficient, and found the passage that he looked into, and it was not as unconscious as last time.

He stood in the dark wooden hall, flanked by bookshelves that reached to the roof.

He buried his head and found himself holding a quaint pamphlet in his hand, with five words vaguely printed on the cover: "Mochizuki Guanmei Spectrum".

Memories gradually returned to his consciousness. He is Liu Wenlin. But here he is called Ling Congsheng. Shimen has never asked for his real name, but other than that, it is not so fair.

Family background, background, money, the most unfair thing is probably talent, right? He is always the last in the Dao group, and no matter how hard he tries, he can't catch up with those people. Shizun had already given up on him and sent him to guard the library and do a cleaning job. Speaking of which, even if it is a miscellaneous servant, there are countless people who envy it.

In short, he didn't hate the task too much. After all, there are some things to do, and it's better than always having a thorn in the back in the Dao group. Then, he found the book.

Before coming to Shimen, he was picked up from the garbage heap by his grandfather, who was a handyman in the Meiyuan, and the Meiyuan was the place where he could play chess the most.

In short, it's finally possible. He sat down at a table and excitedly opened the ancient book in his hand.

This is a book that chronicles the endgame.

He accidentally found it while cleaning the bookshelves, and secretly solved it for several days.

Such a difficult mystery is rarely seen outside of the Plum Academy.

It's been a long time since I've enjoyed it this way.

It's as if I'm no longer the at the end of the crane.

Lin Yi's gaze returned to reality.

Uncle Wen had already walked to water the flowers by himself, and there were some chess pieces scattered on the chessboard in front of him.

Thinking about this book called "Looking at the Moon and Watching the Plum Spectrum", it is very likely that Liu Wenlin wants to hide.

So what will it have to do with Uncle Wen, the only one in the village who has studied chess?

He asked Uncle Wen again, and also looked around, but found no clues. I had to go back to Tie Dali's shop to work first, and I was going to find time to ask the mouse about it.

The next day, he came to the highest restaurant in the village again, and as always, he only needed tea.

However, the restaurant owner's contemptuous gaze became much kinder, and he gave him a plate of vinegar-soaked peanuts for free.

It turned out that there were also small workers in the restaurant who were saved by his "butcher's medical hall", and the festival that always occupied the position and consumed extremely pitifully in the past was written off.

Lin Yi just took two sips of tea, imagining Liu Wenlin's actions in this restaurant, when suddenly someone sat down opposite him with a big grin.

"It's Mr. Lin, right?" The person who came was dressed in a cyan official uniform, looked about forty years old, his face was dark, and he seemed to be a little cultivated, "In Xiashen Leopard, he is the only catcher in the village." A few days ago, I just returned from a family trip, and I had heard that Mr. Lin was a recent celebrity, so I came here for a while. ”

After saying that, he put a pot of wine on the table with a "snap", and was about to pour it into Lin Yi's teacup.

Lin Yi had a vague impression of the word "Shen" in his heart, but he couldn't remember it. He stretched out his hand to block the wine jug, shook his head, and said, "You may still have to practice medicine during the day, so it is inconvenient to drink." ”

"It's okay, it's okay!" Shen Zhu laughed quickly, and still forcibly poured him a glass, but there was no wine at all, he lowered his voice and said: "Shen never drinks when he handles cases, he just likes the feeling of using a wine jug." ”

Lin Yi took a sip of the glass, and the wine jug in this person's hand actually contained white water. His heart moved, and he also lowered his voice and said, "Is Lord Kuai investigating some case?"

Shen Bao's voice lowered: "I heard that Mr. Lin is asking about Liu Wenlin?"

Lin Yi glanced left and right and said, "I heard that Teacher Liu is missing, is the government really asking about this?"

Shen Bao sighed, shook his head and said, "There is no case in the house. It was Shen's own actions. To tell you the truth, Shen's own children are studying with Teacher Liu. ”

Lin Yi was stunned and said, "The government can't afford to go to the academy if you catch it quickly?"

Shen Bao snorted and said, "Yu Lu is quite enough, but Shen doesn't like the style of the official school and the Jiafu Academy, but Teacher Liu is kind to the children and speaks better, alas!"

"So Lord Arrest wants to investigate Teacher Liu's disappearance?"

"Because there was no trace of anyone entering or leaving the village during that time, it was very likely that someone around Mr. Liu was responsible. Mr. Lin hadn't come to Crescent Village for a while, and the fact that he fell off a cliff and almost died can be confirmed that it was not a lie, and Shen thought that you were not suspicious. But why are you asking about this, and how did you know Liu Wenlin?"

"Dare to ask where was the person who arrested Mr. Liu on the day he disappeared?"
