Qiu Guanghan hadn't come out yet, and knocked on Xia Zheng's door sharply. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

How long can this chase last? Xia Zheng smiled kindly. Is Guanghan still angry?

I don't know. Sneered. It is really rude to walk out in a hurry, and the owner of the village will forgive me. Fortunately, I have asked about some things during this time, which I am afraid will be useful to the owner.

Oh?

The owner mentioned before that to see how Miss Lin's wounds were—I also want to do this, but it's different from the owner's purpose. I went to Jinzhen Village to ask the people of that day, and learned that Miss Lin's wound was a sword wound. Although it can't be guaranteed to be the Qinglong swordsmanship, it is also eight or nine and ten.

My statement that I am suitable is only an inference. If there is no guarantee that it is the Qinglong Sword Technique, then-this inference must be discounted.

The owner's inference should be discounted, but the following inference is only necessary for this information. Does the owner remember that I said that Miss Lin told me that he thought it was a knife wound?

Yes – but not necessarily true.

However, a brother surnamed Hei told me that the wound was thin and narrow, and it was a sword wound, which could be seen to be a sword blade stabbed from behind, not a cut, so how could this be mistaken for a knife?

Miss Lin was in a hurry at the time, and it was not surprising that she remembered wrong.

The urgency is also after the fact, how can you not remember this sudden attack? If others are just that, Miss Lin is by no means such a confused person.

Do you think...... Miss Lin has been lying......? But what good is it that she deliberately said it was a knife? Isn't it easier to be exposed?

Ling Li shook his head. She didn't know that we had already doubted Murong Xun, and everything she did was still protecting him in her own way. Of course, she could have chosen not to lie - she had chosen to admit that it was the sword that hurt her. But she was probably too eager to show that it wasn't Murong Xun's weapon that hurt her—since she lied, everything would be completely different, which showed that she knew that if she told the truth, it would definitely be bad for Murong Xun.

He paused. We've been saying that these are speculations, and there's no evidence - I did bring something from the Golden Needle Village, and I heard that it was the owner of Xia Zhuang who asked them for it.

But the list of those who were killed? Xia Zheng suddenly stood up.

Yes - not all, but there are numbers.

Let me see. Xia Zheng stretched out his hand to take it, opened it and looked at it carefully.

Thirty-six people. He muttered. Murong Jing...... Also among them. There is a person here whose name is unknown and has not been written, but ...... Alas, this water burial was too hasty, didn't he go to the water burial after the family had been called? Why were you in such a hurry......

Uncle! Qiu Guanghan at the door seemed a little excited for some reason, and jumped into the house. Huh-Brother Ling has come back, what are you looking at, what have you discovered?

Here is a Golden Needle Village recorded the number and names of the victims that day.

Really, there is this? Qiu Guanghan grabbed it. Thirty-six ...... Thirty-six—that's not right.

I also remember if it was wrong. Xia Zheng said. But...... If Murong Xun changed someone into his stand-in, there should be one less person in the water burial here, but there was one more person - the people who were killed that day that Mrs. Jiang told me were thirty-five!

Thirty-five can't be wrong, I asked Miss Jiang just now, she shouted that thirty-five people, she won't remember mistakes when she dies, she can pronounce the names one by one - could this be the wrong count over there in the water burial?

This shouldn't be either. Said sharply. Although there are still a few people on the other side who have not been named, there are still a few people buried in the water, and they can still be counted.

That's weird -- there are thirty-five people missing, and thirty-six are buried in water? Not only is there not one Murong Xun missing, but there are more?

That's right. Ling Li leaned down and took a closer look at the roster. Is there a distinction between men and women?

Yes - they wrote everything they could, and it was still clear whether it was a man or a woman who died - what's the matter?...... Do you doubt it......

I...... It's not that I'm suspicious, it's okay to say I'm foolish. In the original story, we all suspected that Murong Xun killed a villager and disguised himself on the spot, so it stands to reason that there should be only thirty-four people buried in the water, but now there is one more person than thirty-five, I wonder if we should think the other way around - Murong Xun was premeditated, he was naturally prepared, and we would not find out that there was one person missing, so he brought a stand-in. But he brought more than one stand-in—maybe—maybe he not only wanted to get out innocently, but also wanted to take Miss Lin away, but in the end, for some reason, Miss Lin still stayed...... Don't worry about me first, I'm just guessing, maybe the people of Jinzhenzhai came quickly that day, and they didn't have time to dispose of the superfluous people.

Qiu Guanghan bit his lip. Okay, I'll ask Miss Jiang how many men and how many women.

Don't be in such a hurry—don't ......

Don't irritate her again, don't you? Qiu Guanghan tilted his head and glared at him again. I already knew! I'd be careful! What else do I have to ask, think about it!

I can't think of anything else to ask at the moment, but - what will happen to us if the result is exactly what we say?

I want to ask Lin Zhi about Murong Xun's whereabouts! If this is the case, she is also an accomplice, if she refuses to say, I will ask Taihu Water Village to give me an explanation! Xia Zheng said.

Ling Li sighed softly. Since Miss Lin is still here, it is probably because she refuses to go along with Murong Xun. Otherwise, after leaving the stand-in, she withdrew and left, and did not come to report at all, wouldn't there be any clues to arouse suspicion.

Xia Zheng was stunned. Did Ling Gongzi just want to say good things for Miss Lin? But Xia only knew that the hatred of killing his father was not shared, and the forty brothers in the village could not be unjustly killed-I arrested Miss Lin, and I was not afraid that the surname Murong would not come to me.

Xia Zhuang ......

Uncle, it doesn't have to be them!" Qiu Guanghan stomped his feet. You're even more excited than Brother Ling was before. What to do next, you slowly discuss - I'll go to Miss Jiang again. Yes, Fang Cai has also asked, Murong Xun does know how to disguise himself.

That's it...... Ling Li watched her walk out and sat down, feeling that this matter should be a mistake, but at this moment, he only felt that there seemed to be something empty in his chest, which was extremely uncomfortable.

Xia Zhuang owner. He tried to speak again. I know how you feel, it's just ...... Miss Lin has always been upright, if it weren't for her, Gongzi Qiao would be afraid that he would also be poisoned by Vermilion Bird Villa, you also know. If this incident is really as Shicai said, I am afraid that before the incident, Miss Lin also knew nothing, otherwise she would not have allowed Murong Xun to do this. Only she knows what happened that day, but ...... But if you want to take her hostage, or if you want to persecute her, I still think it's not right, even though ...... Even if I'm not the owner's opponent, I'm afraid I can't sit idly by.

Xia Zheng actually sighed and smiled bitterly. What kind of person Xia is, Ling Gongzi should have known it a long time ago. If you are angry, even if Xia thinks so in his heart, how can he do it if he does it. It's just that Miss Lin is like this, I'm afraid she won't be able to stay in Taihu Water Village, if she doesn't go to see Murong Xun, I don't know where to go.

No matter what the truth of this matter is, please agree to the owner and don't tell everyone in the water village for the time being. Said sharply.

Don't tell them? Xia Zheng was surprised. And they should not know who their enemies are, and they will not know them......

One is for Miss Lin, and the other is that they are still excited, if they learn about such a thing, I am afraid that Miss Jiang - and Mrs. Jiang will not be able to support it in their hearts.

But it's also a matter of time. Even if we don't talk about it now, when we go back to Xiajiazhuang, we want to find trouble with Murong Xun, and we can't hide the reason from the world after all.

That's until then. Said sharply. Does the owner of the village still remember that we concealed the news of his second uncle's death from Xuan Ye that day, and we knew that it was only for a while, but we really couldn't tell him about the situation at that time. I'm afraid he already knew about it now, but it was better than knowing it then.

Xia Zheng seemed to be slightly silent. That being the case, it is according to what Ling Gongzi said. Another silence. Guang Han is afraid that he won't get out and come back so soon, so Ling Gongzi might as well tell me what your plans are?

In fact...... Investigating whether this matter is related to Murong Xun is not the main purpose of our trip, but we are looking for Vermilion Bird Villa, and there are no clues left or right. There are two other things, Guang Han and I are also very concerned, one is that we have an appointment with someone on the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, which is a private matter, so we will not elaborate on it with the owner; If you can find him and ask him face to face, everyone can rest assured - it's a pity that there has been no news of him, and the owner of the village is here......

I'm looking for him too. Xia Zheng said. To be honest, the longer he disappears, the greater the suspicion, but I know that his martial arts cultivation is not deep, and it is impossible for him to be a murderer.

But the cultivation of painting is not shallow. Sharp answered. Coupled with that decent Qinglong Knife Technique, it is enough for someone else to really do it, as long as he leaves traces of the Qinglong Knife Technique.

Xia Zheng smiled bitterly. That's why I still have some suspicions, otherwise I wouldn't have thought of him at all. But Qiao Yi is pure by nature, and if he really does this, he will have a hard time.

Everyone has a problem, and who is evil by nature. Sharp sigh.

Xia Zheng smiled lightly. Ling Gongzi seems to have a lot of feelings about this—but there is a difference between good people and bad people. For example, Xia Mou saw that Ling Gongzi's nature was not bad, and he must have been forced to devote himself to Heizhu in the past, although he had killed many people who should not be killed, but there must be a bottom line in his heart, and he would never do anything to break this bottom line. Qiao Yi's kindness, I also have this trust. The good and evil of people may also be distinguished by this bottom line.

The owner means that everyone has a bottom line in their hearts, but there are high and low...... Ling muttered to himself. However, this so-called bottom line is not set in stone. A person who can't bear to hurt even ants can become a demon.

I don't agree with that. Xia Zheng said. In my opinion, if there is really a person like what you said, it must be that the bottom line in his heart is extremely low, otherwise he will not be able to become a demon no matter what. If in the past, even ants couldn't bear to hurt him, it was just a time before he could reveal his true colors. It's like Qiao Yi, even if he wants to do bad things, I can't necessarily do it, because he is not so "bad".

Ling Li was silent. Xia Zheng's words made him think that it was no longer Qiao Yi, but Qiu Guanghan. According to him, Qiu Guanghan has not become what he is afraid of, is it really because the time has not yet come?

He reluctantly adjusted his mood, smiled and said, "Taught." What the owner of Xia Zhuang said is very reasonable, presumably judging people and things in this way has also helped the owner a lot - but I don't believe it.

Xia Zheng frowned. Ling Gongzi really doubted Qiao Yi so much?

Not Qiao Yi. Ling Gongzi said. Qiao Yi's matter still needs to be investigated again, just as Murong Xun needs evidence to say that he is the murderer, and Qiao Yi needs the same thing. Before the facts are in front of me, I ...... Don't believe anything!

Xia Zheng naturally didn't expect that what he was thinking about was Qiu Guanghan when he said this, but he smiled and said, this is called "If you don't have the heart of the Yellow River, you won't die", naturally, if there is evidence, of course, you need evidence, otherwise you don't have to let Guanghan work so hard to go back and forth to find Miss Jiang.

Guanghan she ...... Ling Li bit his lip. She...... The owner thinks she ...... What is the bottom line?

Why did Ling Gongzi say this? Xia Zheng was surprised. Could it be that a simple girl like Guanghan can still do anything bad?

No, no, I'm wrong, I want to ask-Miss Lin-since the owner knows people accurately, and the owner thinks that Miss Lin-if the real thing is revealed, which side will she fall towards?

Miss Lam...... It's hard to say. She didn't go to Murong Xun's side, I believe she is good, but she is a person who can endure and is not scheming, what kind of things will be done, it is really difficult to say.

Yes. He bowed his head sharply, slightly hiding the embarrassment of the words that had just been diverted. Qiao Yi's topic, he didn't want to talk about it anymore, and he was silent at this moment. He didn't know what kind of panic and uneasiness he was in. For Qiao Yi? Probably not. For Lin Zhi? Obviously not. For Qiu Guanghan? This is natural -- but what is it that is afraid? That day she pierced herself, and he couldn't understand -- where was her so-called "bottom line" swinging?

Don't think about it anymore. It's been the last few days, and I can't lose, I can't lose.

With thousands of thoughts, Qiu Guanghan had already knocked on the door and came in, with a calm face.

It's really one more woman. She sat down in her chair dejectedly. Did you guess it right - we're going to go to Miss Lin and ask again?

Ling Li calmed down, straightened his thoughts, and said, Our purpose is to find Vermilion Bird Villa, and now there are two ways, one is to go directly to Miss Lin and ask her where Vermilion Bird Villa is - but I think she probably doesn't know, so I can only wait for Murong Xun to appear. I'm sure they'll be in touch soon. If you ask her directly, she may not be willing to say anything, so there is another way, which is to monitor her until she has contact with Murong Xun - but no matter how bold Murong Xun is, he will not dare to appear on the road again, so it can only be Lin Zhi to go outside the island. We just have to pay attention to when she leaves, and secretly follow, that's all.

I agree to watch secretly. Qiu Guanghan said. Anyway, you and your uncle are so soft-hearted, it's impossible to ask her anything, she won't say anything, and you've learned it. I'm not going to go, I'm about to rack my brains for Miss Jiang's words today, so I won't go and "chat" with Miss Lin again.

But what if they don't keep in touch?

There are no other clues anyway. Qiu Guanghan said. Brother Ling and I are looking for the location of the Vermilion Bird Villa, and my uncle is looking for the murderer to take revenge - in short, we must find Murong Xun first, so we have to wait. Hasn't she left the island for so many days?

No--for the New Year, she was afraid that there would be no excuse to leave.

Well, even if there is an excuse soon. Last year, it seemed that Miss Lin was specialized in purchasing New Year's goods, and I heard that there was something missing on the island on weekdays, so I asked Miss Lin to send someone or buy it in person. Miss Jiang happened to say today that she has been worshipping recently, and the incense and candles are consumed too quickly, and it seems that she will buy them again soon.

Miss Lin burns incense and prays every day, could it be that she wants to use up these incense candles quickly? Ling Li made a bad association.

But why bother? Xia Zheng pondered. If Miss Lin really wanted to see Murong Gongzi, she followed her in the first place, why bother so much at this moment?

A woman's mind is very strange. Sharp smiled. Didn't the owner of the village also say that Miss Lin was too elusive?

That's right, too. Xia Zheng touched his chin. Qiu Guanghan, who was sitting in the chair in the wall compartment, kicked him hard. You know very well!

Shrugged sharply. If you make fun of me, I will only treat you as a jealous drinker.

Whatever you want!" Qiu Guanghan waved his hand. I was tired and went to sleep. If you have the spirit, consult with your uncle again about how to follow her when the time comes—we don't have our own boat, and it will not be easy to follow her out of the island without her knowing.

Ling Li saw that she was really tired, and his heart was full of pity. Thank you for your hard work today. He leaned down. I'll take you back to the house.

So good? Qiu Guanghan raised his face, his eyes slanted, slightly provocative.

This is coquettish--I'm not afraid that the owner of Xia Zhuang will see the joke. Ling Li smiled and pulled her.

Uncle, what's the matter? Qiu Guanghan said and stood up. Then I'll come back to see you tomorrow, uncle?

Xia Zheng smiled. You have a good rest. Ling Gongzi is afraid that he is tired today, so it is better for everyone to think about countermeasures tonight, and we will discuss it tomorrow.

Ling Li nodded in agreement, said goodbye, and pulled Qiu Guanghan out of the door.

Her hands were cold. It's a moonless night, and it's a winter night -- and the coldness doesn't seem to be an anomaly.

Then, just pull me?" Qiu Guanghan shook his hand gently. So even if you send me back to the house?

...... So...... Do you want me to carry you back?

Qiu Guanghan laughed eatingly. It's really pleasing people. As he spoke, he fell on his back.

She hugged him tightly, her cold body oozing cold all down his spine. The thin arms were wrapped around his shoulders, and her light, thin breathing clung to his sideburns.

He was scared. He was really scared. All her pampered, affectionate, and delightful deeds frightened him, because—it wasn't her, it wasn't her, it wasn't her.

Have you recently ...... Seems to be getting more and more fond of me, doesn't he?" he forced a smile to himself, waiting for her to reciprocate.

Unexpectedly, Qiu Guanghan hummed in a low voice, but there was no follow-up.

What's wrong? Already sleepy? He teased her again.

Unexpectedly, she hugged her tighter. Of course I like you. Her cheek, pressed against the back of his neck.

He was so stunned that he couldn't speak.

So, I'm scared. She muttered.

She was scared too, Ling Li thought to herself. What is she afraid of?

What are you afraid of?" Are you afraid that someone will rob me? I am so determined by you that no one can snatch me away.

I'm just scared, so scared. Qiu Guanghan didn't answer him, just muttered and repeated. Her clenched arms took him breathless.

All right...... Don't strangle my neck, I can't breathe. Ling Li had no choice but to say.

Qiu Guanghan sighed, grinned, and his tone was naughty again. But it was only for a moment - she moved her arms, still holding him, but resting her chin on his shoulder.

You're so nice. She said softly. If I hadn't met you, I don't know what I'm like now......

Well, so do I. Ling Li laughed. If I hadn't met you, I don't know what would have happened to me.

Qiu Guang was cold, but he didn't speak. She thought how could this be compared, how could you and I be the same.

Sharp put her down outside the house. Rest early, we'll talk about it tomorrow.

Qiu Guanghan nodded. Thank you.

Thank me, Ling Li smiled wickedly. Thank you, I'm going to show it a little bit, what's the use of just talking?

Qiu Guanghan turned out to be a gentleman again, and leaned forward very generously and pecked him lightly on the lips. Looking at her expression, there was no shyness or cowardice.

Uh-that-what an obedient one. Instead, he avoided her gaze, a little overwhelmed. Alright, let's go inside.

Qiu Guanghan obeyed. It's just that, she thought, if doing this is enough to thank you, I'm willing to do it a thousand times and ten thousand times - but I know that whatever I do is no longer enough, so ......

Ling Li didn't guess what Qiu Guanghan was afraid of, it turned out to be the same thing as what he was afraid of. He only vaguely felt that something was wrong, but the fifteenth day of the first lunar month was already very close, and he thought, everything would be as usual. So, even if there are only a few days left, he will avoid it for a while, pretending that they are together as an eternal vow, and pretending that the phrase "Of course I like you" is what he wants to hear the most.

------------------

Early the next morning, it was Qiu Guanghan who came and banged on the door. Come on, come on, come on. She knocked on the door and grabbed Lingli. Let's go to my uncle's.

In such a hurry?

Of course you're in a hurry, you're too lazy!

Xia Zheng also got up early, but he didn't expect the two to come early in the morning. Did you find anything? Qiu Guanghan closed the door and lowered his voice.

I just learned that Miss Lin is going to do some shopping tomorrow. This time there was a big incident, many of the New Year's supplies are actually not complete, originally I wanted to just forget it, but one to the incense candles are exhausted, the second is even a funeral, cloth fruits and other things are still needed, although the three years have passed, but in the fifteenth day of the first month, the water village has been putting water lanterns before, this year Mrs. Jiang feels that it can not be abandoned because of mourning, so Miss Lin wants to take a few people to leave as soon as possible!

Where did this news come from, is it reliable?

Of course it's reliable, seeing how carefully I said it, I heard it all myself, Mrs. Jiang said it to her!

You went to eavesdrop on Mrs. Jiang early in the morning?

No, because Miss Lin was close to me, I saw someone hurrying to call her in the morning, and then she walked towards Mrs. Jiang, and I followed quietly. (To be continued.) )
