"Huan means bright, bright. In the courtyard of early summer, Hu Buxi was lying on a rattan chair in the shade of a tree very lifelessly, and Zhao Wu'an stood still in the distance and spoke slowly, "Usually light cannot kill people, but there is no certainty. ”

Xu Tangli was burned to death, Pang Hai drowned, Guo Feng was hanged on the mountain, and Deng Lei was smashed by a boulder to a blur of flesh and blood. And the cause of Shi Huan's death was these bronze mirrors found in Zheng Rong's room. Zhao Wu'an was pacing back and forth in the courtyard, Dailou Sangyu was originally standing under the tree, and when he saw him sweating profusely, he took out a pu fan from the house and fanned it at Zhao Wu'an.

"The few people who died, although they were far apart, and they didn't seem to have a necessary connection, but since each of them had a token of the previous person, that is, there must be a connection. These five people, at most ten years ago, were still living in the northwest of the Great Song Dynasty, adjacent to the Leaf Country. Since the first year of Dazhong Xiangfu, five people, or their ancestors, have all moved to Liangzhejiang. This almost spans the entire Great Song Dynasty, which is very suspicious.

But the suspicions don't stop there. Pang Hai may not have realized it yet, but starting from Guo Feng, each of them has shown a strong will for Hangzhou, hoping to leave for Hangzhou, but before they succeeded, they have already died. Shi Huan made it to the ground, so he breathed a sigh of relief, but still died on top of the West Lake. The so-called starting from Hangzhou to ending in Hangzhou is not that the murderer is deliberately drawing a circle, he is chasing and killing these people. Realizing that they were in danger, these people were trying to escape, and the destination of their escape was Hangzhou.

"You might as well assume that five people, once conspired at the border to do something, offended someone, during the Dazhong Xiangfu years, they realized that the person had been sharpening their knives, in order to protect themselves, they decided to separate, agreed to move to Liangzhejiang Road together, and maintained a special way of contact with each other, once the contact changed, it means that this person has encountered an accident, and the others must rush to Hangzhou to gather. It may be that the murderers are too fast, or it may be that their reaction is too slow, and they have been killed one by one before they arrived.

Shi Huan was the only one who arrived in Hangzhou. The first thing he did when he went to Hangzhou was to go to the West Lake, claiming to be cultivating talents. A powerless scholar boating on the West Lake is very suspicious, so he should go to Zheng Rong. Other people's tokens have been found in the hands of the next victim, and Shi Huan's token should be his wine cup. During one of the exchanges, Shi Huan's wine cup was poisoned. The mulberries are boiled in iron and then added to the nightshade, and the juice is very similar to the sake liquor, but it has the effect of making people's heart rate increase and trance, which is a slight poison. Shi Huan, who had drunk the poison, stopped the boat in a remote place in the lonely mountain and found a path to Zheng Rong's residence. Zheng Rong may or may not receive him, but in the end, Shi Huan was greeted by a room of bronze mirrors and candles placed in front of the mirrors, and the curtains were closed, and the room was dim. As a wandering scholar, Shi Huan's body was already poor, and the death of the first four people made him frightened, drank poison, and a room full of candles, unable to find a way out, the situation was very terrifying. He must be dying, and he will die. ”

Although Hu Buxi looked sick, he kept listening intently, and when Zhao Wuan said in the end, he was so frightened that he jumped up from the rattan chair and was shocked: "There is still this method of killing?"

"In Zheng Rong's room, there is a room of bronze mirrors, which have actually proved my conjecture. Shi Huan died of exhaustion of breath, and there were no scars on his body. The biggest possibility is to trap him in the secret room and make him lose the will to survive. Zhao Wu'an said coolly, "I feel guilty, the first four people have all died, how can Shi Huan still be as usual?"

Hu Buxi's expression was solemn, and he said in a sullen voice: "In this way, the murderer is Zheng Rong? It's a pity that he has been killed and is unable to confess to the crime." ”

"It's true that he is the most likely, but if he is the real murderer, why did Shi Huan come to the door by himself? Moreover, just as far as the scene in Zheng Rong's house is concerned, Qiao Xi, as well as the killer's wife, are also suspicious. ”

Hu Buxi was stunned when he heard this, and laughed: "Don't be kidding, how can Qiao Xi be the murderer." ”

Zhao Wu'an looked at Hu Buxi lightly: "Sang Yu told me, you don't treat her as He Yanshan." ”

Hu Buxi was stunned for a moment, and said angrily: "Of course I didn't do it!"

"Then why are you sure that a girl who has just met is not a murderer?"

"No way, no way. Hu Buxi waved his hand again and again, "Her weak body and bones can afford to carry Guo Feng out of the city and then hang him up? Can she drag Pang Hai on the beach for thirty feet? No matter how you think about it, it's impossible." Not to mention ......"

"What's more, she's He Yanshan, but she doesn't remember you. Zhao Wu'an quietly took the pu fan from Dailou Sangyu's hand, and in turn fanned her. Dai Lou Sangyu stood happily.

Hu Buxi stopped talking, just calmed his face, turned his head and sat back in the rattan chair. Look up at the leaves.

Zhao Wu'an was also a little helpless, and said lightly: "I have already sent someone to ask, Qiao Xi is nominally Zheng Rong's adopted daughter, but the relationship is very shallow, even if it is on the lonely mountain, he has always lived in two rooms. Zheng Rong's true face, I'm afraid Qiao Xi doesn't know. ”

Hu Buxi still couldn't hold back and asked, "Then how was she adopted by Zheng Rong?"

"When Zheng Rong first married his wife, he found her in the mountains, and according to the time, Qiao Xi was still very young at that time, which is also in line with the time when He Yanshan disappeared. Qiao Xi has been taken care of by Zheng Rong's wife, and the two have a deep friendship, but Zheng Rong mostly ignores it. However, after his wife passed away, he moved to Jiangnan, and he still did not forget to give Qiao Xi a single house. ”

Hu Buxi was stunned and said: "I didn't expect that this Zheng Rong still has a bit of human touch." ”

Zhao Wu'an nodded, turned around, and pretended to be inadvertent: "That Qiao Xi, the interrogation of the officials is also answered, and there is no idea that no one should approach. If you still have a mind, you might as well go and meet her in person. ”

After speaking, Zhao Wu'an left with interest, leaving Hu Buxi to entangle in place. I don't know what He Yanshan said to Hu Buxi before they separated, anyway, in these years, Hu Buxi started as a martial arts lowly official, and gradually climbed to the head of the two Zhejiang provinces. Hu Buxi is not a layman like Zhao Wu'an, he has not married a wife for many years, it is self-evident who he is waiting for.

Qiao Xi and He Yanshan are so similar that they are almost certainly the same person, but Hu Buxi is still convincing himself to treat them as two. Continuing the frontier, or waiting for a person who is destined to be unable to wait, this choice is indeed very difficult for Hu Buxi.

Why He Yanshan lost her memory is indeed a strange thing. And although the motive for the serial murder is basically clear, the murderer still cannot be found. If it's Zheng Rong, it still doesn't make sense, but no one has a greater possibility.

After spending a day in the yamen, I went out to walk around the streets of Hangzhou, and before I knew it, it was getting dark. Zhao Wu'an suddenly got up and went out, and sure enough, he saw starlight on the Baoyou Bridge on the Baisha Causeway. Hangzhou is not like an important town in the north, it has always been a place of fireworks, and there is no habit of curfew, but it is inevitable that the inventory will be stricter when entering and exiting at night. Hangzhou's talented and beautiful women, boating on a moonlit night or taking a walk with lanterns are always an elegant thing.

Zhao Wu'an walked up the white sand embankment and walked towards the island in the middle of the lake. The night is deep, and from time to time there are women with lanterns laughing and fluttering fireflies, and in the pavilion in the middle of the lake, there is the sound of the piano.

The sound of the piano is not smooth, intermittent from time to time, but it is a wonderful pause, at this time silence is better than sound, on the shore of West Lake on a moonlit night, creating a light and elegant artistic conception. The sound of the piano seemed to be urging, and the more Zhao Wu'an listened to it, the more interesting he felt, and he couldn't help but speed up his pace and walked towards the Huxin Pavilion.

In the pavilion in the center of the lake, a woman in brocade clothes sat with her hair draped, a small case in front of her, and a green pine guqin on the case. The moment Zhao Wu'an saw the guqin, his eyes showed a slight look of shock.

Not long after Zhao Wu'an walked into the Huxin Pavilion, the woman in brocade stopped playing, raised her eyes to look at Zhao Wu'an, as if she was frightened, and shrank back in fright.

Zhao Wu'an, who didn't have the intention of accosting him, didn't want to scare the woman for no reason, so he arched his hand and said, "I'm just passing by." The girl's piano skills are ingenious, forgive me for being clumsy, this guqin seems to have an extraordinary origin. ”

Seeing that Zhao Wu'an was polite, the woman in brocade slightly put away her frightened look, but she was still on guard, and explained: "It is a treasure of the Heluo Situ family." As soon as he finished speaking, he was shocked to find that he was alone, and he actually showed his yellow and white, and his little face turned pale with fright.

Zhao Wu'an smiled helplessly: "Girl, don't worry too much, I'm just a layman, not a villain." What's more, this is the Xizi Lake Heart Pavilion, even if you have the courage to do it in the next place, you don't dare to be unfavorable to the girl in this kind of place. ”

Even though it is late at night, there are still many small boats on the shore of Xizi Lake at night, and there are also small lights on the causeway. Only then did the woman in brocade put her mind at ease, smiled softly at Zhao Wu'an, and said prettyly: "The little woman Jiang Caiyi, the people of Tianfu under the river, came to the banquet of Sect Master Xiao, and wanted to perform piano music for the guests. ”

Zhao Wu'an also responded politely: "Zhao Wu'an, a layman from Jiuda Temple on Huaixi Road. ”

Jiang Caiyi said curiously: "Why did a layman come to Hangzhou." ”

Zhao Wu'an said lightly: "You've traveled so far." ”

Jiang Caiyi smiled softly: "Don't be mistaken by the scenery of the south of the Yangtze River." ”

felt that this woman was talking interestingly, and Zhao Wuan also smiled and said: "I have never been mistaken by the scenery of the south of the Yangtze River, but I was almost mistaken by the woman of the south of the Yangtze River." ”

Jiang Caiyi's face was slightly red.

Zhao Wu'an felt that he had spoken too much, and when he was about to fold his palms and say goodbye, a voice came from behind him.

"Okay, you Zhao-none-an!" The voice was so loud that Zhao Wuan only felt that half of the white sand embankment could probably be heard.

But the owner of the voice didn't have this consciousness: "Is there still a bit of a layman's appearance! In the middle of the night, he is elegant with the women of the rivers and lakes!"

Hearing the four words of the woman in the rivers and lakes, Zhao Wu'an had a headache, and quietly looked at Jiang Caiyi with his spare eyes, and saw that she had no obvious anger, so he quietly breathed a sigh of relief, turned his head, and looked at this girl who ran over from afar as if he were facing a great enemy.

"Why did you come to Hangzhou?" asked Zhao Wu'an.

"You have a lot of control, right? My father is Tizhi, the sect master of the Heavenly Immortal Sect feasts the heroes of the rivers and lakes, can't my father come?"

Zhao Wu'an folded his hands helplessly and chanted Buddhist scriptures. So does the heroic man have anything to do with Ti Ha?

Jiang Caiyi behind him turned his head suspiciously, but An Qing in front of him was rightly crossed his hands on his waist, not afraid.

was silent for a long time, and even Zhao Wu'an himself didn't know why, he suddenly smiled faintly and said calmly: "Long time no see, An Qing." ”
