Chapter 27: The Gold Thief (2)
Zhan Yunqin's small eyes glanced at Sikong Gu slightly, as if he was surprised that Sikong Gu, the person who had recently made a lot of trouble in the rivers and lakes, was so young, and seemed to be just wondering why Sikong Gu had such a question. Seeing that Sikong was expressionless, the corners www.biquge.info of his mouth were slightly upturned, as if he was smiling but not smiling, Zhan Qinyun really couldn't figure out his true thoughts, and after his eyes turned twice, Zhan Qinyun realized that he couldn't be silent any longer.
"Jiangning, where Sikong Shaoxia arrived yesterday?"
"Yes. ”
Taking off the deerskin gloves, Zhan Qinyun took a wet towel from a small catcher, and after wiping his hands, he saw that Sikong Gu's face had not changed, and there was only a faint expectation in his eyes, as if he was waiting for himself to give a conclusion.
"Sikong Shaoxia is a closed disciple of 'Renxia'?"
"Zhan Zhutou has seen his teacher?"
"More than ten years ago, I was still a small catcher, and I had several relationships with the respected teacher, but I had no official position at the beginning, and 'Jiangnan Renxia' may not remember that I was such a small catcher. ”
Zhan Qinyun showed a rare kind smile on his face, as if he was nostalgic for the time when he was constantly climbing up, at that time he was still a little catcher who had just been transferred to Jiangning, and he didn't know much about the government, the imperial court, and even the rivers and lakes, thinking that as long as he was good enough, he would definitely be able to stand taller than those wine bags and rice bags around him.
"If the teacher has the opportunity to know Zhan Zhutou's reputation in the rivers and lakes now, he will definitely remember Zhan Zhutou's glory back then. ”
Zhan Qinyun frowned and asked, "Respect the teacher, is it ......?"
"My teacher passed away three years ago. ”
Sikong Lone showed a trace of sadness on his face at the right time, even Ji Hualian, who was good at observing words and feelings, and knew a little about Mr. Wu's life, did not doubt him at all.
"It's disrespectful. Although Zhan Qinyun didn't have the slightest look of surprise on his face, he secretly glanced sideways at Shen Zhaoqian, and found that Shen Zhaoqian immediately dodged his gaze, which confirmed that the family sect probably already knew the news.
"The death of 'Jiangnan Renxia', isn't it just spread among the family sects? The name 'Sikong Gu' has made the rivers and lakes uproar, but there has never been half a news of Wu Qingshan's death on the rivers and lakes, Sikong Gu was also in Yangzhou at the beginning and had dealings with Yang Shuo, presumably this identity cannot be fake. But why did Wu Qingshan's closed disciple turn out to be a descendant of Jiangning's Sikong family? ”
After putting some irrelevant doubts aside, Zhan Qinyun returned to this case, and after interrogating the approximate time of the crime with several witnesses such as Ji Hualian and Chunzhi, Zhan Qinyun only felt that the perpetrator was really powerful, and in the rivers and lakes, those who had the ability to commit this case here could be counted on about two hands.
And now Shaolin and Kunlun are unlikely to commit crimes, and Jiangnan League and Shenmen have no foundation in Jiangning...... So who is the murderer, isn't it about to come out?
After Zhan Qinyun confirmed this, he observed Shen Zhaoqian's expression again, and saw that although Shen Zhaoqian's face was not relaxed, he did not panic at all, and the balance in his heart was slightly tilted in favor of the Chu family.
"Sikong Shaoxia, none of those dark sentinels last night were really alive?"
In a guest room on the second floor, Sikong Gu, Zhan Qinyun, Ji Hualian and Chunzhi sat in it, this is Zhan Qinyun's request, the reason why Ji Hualian and Chunzhi are not allowed to avoid it, Zhan Qinyun just believes that Shaolin and Kunlun really have no reason to steal gold and kill people, and the speculations he will make about Sikong Gu, if the two of them are not present, it is really difficult to say.
"Who does Sikong Shaoxia think the murderer is?"
This was the first question Sikong Gu asked, and now Zhan Qinyun threw the question back, Sikong Gu smiled slightly, shook his head and said: "I entered the city yesterday, and I am just a wanderer who has not returned to my homeland for a long time, what has changed in Jiangning in the past ten years, how do I know?"
"The Chu family, or the Situ family?"
Zhan Qinyun didn't have the heart to do senseless entanglement with Sikong Gu, Zhan Qinyun was not a stupid person, and he also believed that Sikong Gu was not a stupid person, and being straightforward was the best way.
"Does Zhan Zhutou really only think it's these two?"
Sikong Gu raised his head slightly, looking directly into Zhan Qinyun's eyes, his gaze was quite aggressive.
"To tell you the truth, I still doubt you. ”
Zhan Qinyun picked up the teacup, took a sip of hot tea gently, and said slowly after exhaling a breath of hot air.
"Me?"
As soon as these words came out, not only did Sikong Gu show a smile on his face, but Ji Hualian and Chunzhi's faces also changed, of course, Ji Hualian was a little more relaxed, and Chunzhi was more dignified.
"Can Qin Zhutou tell me the reason? I'm really curious, it's clear that I'm the sufferer, how did I become a murderer?"
Sikong Gu's smile is a little cold, this kind of smile is very familiar to most of the people in the rivers and lakes, because walking in the rivers and lakes, paying attention to treating people and being kind, it is inconvenient to be angry. Therefore, people in the rivers and lakes usually "replace anger with laughter", and the more strange the laughter, the stronger the anger in their hearts. Sikong Gu has been taught by Mr. Wu, so he naturally understands these "rules of the rivers and lakes" very well, and at this time, he is not angry but laughs, and he shows his temperament.
"This is a bitter plan, it is not a secret, those things in Yangzhou, Zhan has always had doubts in his heart, if Zhan's expectations are good, Sikong Shaoxia is not without the possibility of 'repeating the old trick'. ”
"It's not me this time. Sikong pouted, but did not deny the authenticity of "those things in Yangzhou" in Zhan Qinyun's mouth.
"Yes, if you just want to set up blame, Sikong Shaoxia doesn't have to kill people at all, not to mention, these people are dead, no matter how you look at Sikong Shaoxia, it is impossible to get more benefits. ”
Zhan Qinyun put down the teacup and observed the expressions of the three people in front of him. Sikong Gu just smiled and didn't say anything, Ji Hualian looked at him with interest, Chunzhi had closed his eyes at this time, and his mouth seemed to be reading scriptures, and he didn't seem to care about his words.
"But if someone says it's just a trick to make others no longer doubt it......"
Zhan Qinyun's smile disappeared immediately, and it only turned into an angry face in an instant: "He really underestimated Zhan." ”
"Since Zhan Zhutou has a guess in his heart, why don't you continue to investigate?"
Sikong Gu naturally understood who "he" was, and also understood the purpose of Zhan Qinyun's conversation with the three of them, he was secondary, if he wanted to deal with them this time, Zhan Qinyun needed the support of Shaolin and Kunlun.
"Amitabha, Shen Zhaoqian's benefactor is at most just a lay disciple of my Shaolin, and he is not a lineage inheritance, but he has only learned a little bit in Prajnatang. ”
Although Chunzhi's eyes were slightly closed, the meaning of his words was very clear.
"I, Kunlun, have always paid attention to 'heavenly principles', this time the thieves are so rampant, if the blood debt of the Dongfang brothers can't be paid with blood, the master and his old man will probably feel that the heavenly reason is unfair, right?"
Ji Hualian waited for Chunzhi to express his position before he followed.
"It's so good, then Zhan wants to investigate this case, and I hope that Sikong Shaoxia will cooperate more. ”
Zhan Qinyun finally showed a trace of fatigue at this time, he looked at Sikong's young and thin face, and said solemnly.
"That's nature. ”
The smile on Sikong Gu's face completely dissipated at this time, he exhaled deeply, and responded solemnly with the same solemnity.
