Chapter 194: Those people on the mountain
"There are four of us."
Fang Jie frowned slightly, and after listening to Qiu Yu's words, he couldn't help but ask: "Four students from the Yanwu Academy died in a row in two days. The people from the Ouchi Guards Department must be investigating, and there won't be any in the courtyard." Wait, do these four peoplehave anything in common?"
"have"
Qiu Yu looked at Fang Jie and replied: "We are all students in the same class as you."
Fang Jie was startled, and suddenly felt guilty: "When I heard you mention your name just now, I just thought it sounded familiar. I didn't expect that they were all in the same class. I was really far away from them. So far, I remember There seems to be only one female student named Ma Lilian."
"It's not your fault."
Qiu Yu said: "Not long after you entered the Yanwu Academy, you were locked in a secret cell in the Ouchi Guards' Office. Even if you want to remember your classmates, it is difficult. The murderer should be someone who understands the rules of the Yanwu Academy. In these three But what I don't understand is, why would you target only the students in your class? The three students who died today were no more than an hour apart. It seems that the murderer must be the same person. , kill one person and then rush to another place to kill the second person.¡±
"Who can be so angry at the students of the Yanwu Academy?"
Qiu Yu sighed and said, "I'm here to remind you that you'd better go back to the Martial Arts Academy. No matter how strong or cunning the murderer is, he wouldn't dare to sneak into the Martial Arts Academy to kill people."
¡°Finding where these dead students intersect is the key to solving this case.¡±
Fang Jie said: "Fortunately, I have someone who can prove my innocence, otherwise no matter what I think, it will be related to me. I just came out of the secret cell of the Ouchi Guards, and Yuan Chengshi died that night. And when he died, he was patrolling the city The Youzhen Guard soldiers met me on the street the next day, and three more people died"
Qiu Yu rolled his eyes at him and said: "No one is stupid enough to doubt you. When the first person died today, you were still in the palace waiting for His Majesty's summons. When the second person died, you had not yet come out of Tai Chi Palace. The third person died. What were you doing when three people died?"
Fang Jie smiled and said, "I was listening to a chatty boss telling a bloody story in a remote teahouse."
"Let's go back to the martial arts academy"
Qiu Yu stood up and said: "I have to go find other students. Many professors came out. I guess the murderer today may not dare to kill again. No one has dared to attack the Yanwu Academy in the hundred years since the founding of the Sui Dynasty. He will not Escaped."
"Not necessarily"
Fang Jie shook his head: "If he only killed four people and escaped from Chang'an, who would be able to find out? No one has seen the murderer now. Even if he walked by the door of my shop, no one would recognize him. . Unless he really needs to kill all the students in our class and continues to attack, we may not be able to catch him in a short time."
Fang Jie pointed out the door as he spoke, and there happened to be a young man passing by and looking into the house. He was surprised when Fang Jie pointed over. Fang Jie quickly retracted his finger and smiled apologetically at the man. The man nodded to Fang Jie and left quickly.
Qiu Yu didn't pay attention to this, but said helplessly: "No matter what, you can't be outside anymore. Now go back to the martial arts academy. I also want to go to other places to see. In the past three days, classes have been suspended, and the students have gone out to perform martial arts." The hospital was spread out like sheep, and maybe most people didn¡¯t even know there was a murder.¡±
"I'll go with you."
Fang Jie stood up and said, "After all, there are some places where it's not convenient for you to go in and look for them."
Qiu Yu was just about to say that there was something inconvenient for me, but suddenly he remembered that there were indeed some places that were really inconvenient for him to enter. For example, brothels and brothels, and most of the students are playboys, so it would be strange not to go to such a place. On the other hand, students with martial arts backgrounds tend to stay in the martial arts academy even if classes are suspended because they are relatively poor.
She hummed, thought for a while and then said: "Let your friends clean up and come later."
Fang Jie thought that when he was imprisoned, Daquan and the others were being monitored just like they were in the Sanjin Houfu. If they entered the Yanwu Academy, the three of them would not even think about being free. So he shook his head and said: "Since the murderer targeted the students of the Yanwu Academy, they should be fine. Besides, it is not easy for someone to cause trouble in the Sanjin Houfu."
"Right"
Qiu Yu didn¡¯t insist and walked out of the shop first. Fang Jie ordered people to watch the shop carefully, and then followed Qiu Yu out. The two of them walked straight along Dong 23rd Street, and the next stop was bound to be the Red Sleeve Move. Those wealthy young men, if they don¡¯t go to Hong Kong,?It's weird to dress up elegantly and watch singing and dancing.
"Mo Wanwu must be going crazy, right?"
Fang Jie followed Qiu Yu and asked as he walked. He saw that the young man who passed by his door before was sitting not far away eating hot soup noodles. He swallowed in big mouthfuls and actually sweated all over his forehead. Looking at Just so hearty. Fang Jie couldn't help but think, how long has it been since he had such a hearty meal and slept soundly?
"He hasn't been back since the first person died last night. If he finds him, the murderer will be torn into pieces."
Qiu Yu replied, took out his wallet and bought two tea eggs at the stall.
The Red Sleeves are not very far from Fang Jie¡¯s shop, they are both on East 23rd Street. Dong 23rd Street is the most prosperous street in the east part of Chang'an City, and it is even more lively with the relocation of Hongxiu Zhao. There is an endless stream of pedestrians on the street, and the shouts of vendors come and go. Especially in front of Hongxiu Zhaoqiu, there was a lot of traffic. Princes, grandsons, powerful men, and noble gentry, if they don't follow the red sleeve tactics, it's like they have lost their status.
"Sir, please wait here. I'll just go in and find someone."
Fang Jie knew that Qiu Yu had a cold temperament, so he didn't necessarily like the hustle and bustle in Hong Xiuzhao. Sure enough, Qiu Yu nodded and said, "I'll wait for you at the door. Hurry up, I have to go to another house."
She didn¡¯t pay any attention to other people¡¯s gazes, and she was calmly eating the tea eggs she had just bought at the door of Hong Xiuzhao. But he used a clean handkerchief to catch the egg skin and didn't let any piece fall to the ground.
Fang Jie nodded, walked in and went straight to the second floor to find Xiao Dingdian.
He whispered a few times in Xiao Dingdian's ear. Xiao Dingdian's expression changed. He then stood up and ordered his servants to play the drums on the stage. After the drums started playing, the scene suddenly became quiet. Xiao Dingdian went on stage in person and said apologetically: "If there is a martial arts academy in the venue, Young Master, please come to the door quickly. There is a professor from the Martial Arts Academy waiting for you. It¡¯s urgent.¡±
Although her voice was not loud, it could be heard clearly throughout the Red Sleeve Moves. Fang Jie couldn't help but look at this little girl with admiration. Obviously, she is not as weak as she looks.
Not long after, more than twenty young people poured out of the red sleeves. When they saw Qiu Yu, they neatly bent over and saluted.
"You should return to the martial arts academy immediately together. Do not separate and do not go home. You must listen to these words as a military order and must not violate it."
"Here!"
Although this group of students who have been training in the martial arts academy for more than half a year are all from wealthy backgrounds, they immediately became solemn when they heard the word military order.
¡°Sir, what happened?¡±
Someone asked subconsciously, Qiu Yu shook his head: "You guys rush back to the yard first, I will tell you when I get back."
¡¡
¡¡
Chang'an City is too big. It is obviously unrealistic to contact all the students and return to the courtyard as soon as possible. Fang Jie and Qiu Yu didn't want to delay any longer when the sun set, so they immediately boarded a city carriage and returned to the Yanwu Academy. Along with them, there was another student.
And this person is the only female student whose name Fang Jie can remember.
Ma Lilian.
When she was strolling on the street with her two maids, she met Fang Jie and Qiu Yu. Qiu Yu asked her to go with him, and Ma Lilian asked the two maids to go back and followed Fang Jie and the others into the carriage. Ma Lilian, who was sitting next to Qiu Yu, occasionally glanced at Fang Jie who was sitting opposite, her face slightly red.
How could Qiu Yu not see what this little girl was thinking, so he couldn't help but smile. With this smile, Ma Lilian's face turned even redder. Speaking of which, she is not a very beautiful woman. In terms of appearance, she is barely above average. But her father, General Guide, was a real rough man with a vicious and ugly appearance. He was extremely proud to have given birth to such a daughter.
Ma Lilian lowered her head and did not dare to look at Fang Jie anymore. She stared at her toes with some embarrassment. Fang Jie's mind was not on her at all, but on who dared to specifically target the students of the Yanwu Academy. In the Sui Dynasty, unless there was a blood feud with the Yanwu Academy, no one would do something that would lead to the annihilation of the clan.
Ma Lilian found that Fang Jie didn't notice her at all. She was relieved at first, and then felt a little disappointed. Fang Jie's eyes kept falling outside the carriage, so Ma Lilian simply raised her head and boldly stared at his side face. The more you look at it, the more pleasing it becomes, and the more you look at it, the more charming you become.
Seeing Fang Jie, she couldn't help but think of what happened that day on Banyue Mountain. Just when she thought she was certain to die, this young man suddenly appeared in front of her. At that moment, she felt that Banyue Mountain was not as majestic as Fang Jie's back. She didn't know how many times she would wake up in her dreams because of the bloody scene, and every time at this time, Fang Jie's figure would become clearer.
Whenever the name Fang Jie appears in her mind, all the fear caused by the dream will disappear.
The first person who noticed that she was different from before was her father, General Gui De. He was surprised to find that the carefree and manly girl turned into a calm and ladylike girl after returning home. Instead of competing with the soldiers in the palace to test her martial arts, she sat down and sat down. Embroidering quietly in front of the window.
My daughter is fucking doing embroidery!
This frightened General Guide, but this rough and straightforward father did not think that there were great changes in women's personalities, which were often related to men.
"Thank you very much"
After hesitating for a long time, Ma Lilian looked at Fang Jie and said seriously. She spoke very softly, as if she was afraid of disturbing Fang Xie who was deep in thought.
"What?"
Fang Jie looked away from the carriage and looked at Ma Lilian and asked. When his eyes fell on Ma Lilian's face, two red clouds appeared on the latter's face uncontrollably: "Last timein Banyue Mountain, thank you for saving me."
She said in a low voice.
Fang Jie smiled and said, "You and I are classmates, why do we need to say thank you?"
After saying this, he suddenly froze.
"Your name is Ma Lilian, right?"
Fang Jie asked, a little rudely.
"Um"
Ma Lilian nodded slightly, not caring that Fang's explanation was slightly rude.
"Do you know all the four people who died?"
Fang Jie will ask again.
"Um"
Ma Lilian's expression changed slightly, and she raised her head and looked at Fang Jie: "Yuan Chengshi, Liu Xu, Song Meiqi, and Li Sihai are all classmates in our class."
"Were theywere they all on the same team as you that day? I mean, which team were they separated from later on?"
Hearing Fang Jie¡¯s words, Qiu Yu and Ma Lilian¡¯s expressions changed drastically at the same time. Ma Lilian thought about it carefully, nodded and said: "Except for Yuan Chengshi, the other three are. But Yuan Chengshi was the first one to arrive for support besides you. He only arrived a little later than you. You and When the Buddhist monks were fighting, Master Yuan Cheng arrived. "
Speaking of this, Ma Lilian suddenly let out a low voice: "Niu Miao arrived with Master Yuan Cheng Stop the car! There is the Grand Master's Mansion in front, I want to see her!"
The carriage stopped on the side of the road, and Ma Lilian rushed towards the compound not far away. The strange thing is that the door of the Grand Scholar's Mansion is closed, even the side door for visitors is closed. When Fang Jie and Qiu Yu walked over, Ma Lilian knocked on the courtyard door, and a steward peeked out with a strange expression.
"It's Miss Ma, what's the matter?"
The steward asked.
He seemed very rude and did not open the door but exposed half of his body to speak. You must know that a bachelor is the most polite person and has extremely strict requirements for his servants.
