write a letter

In the early morning of the next day, Chen Liao ran to Luo Xingyun's yard full of thoughts, but he took a little thought to observe the surroundings before entering the door, but he didn't find anything unusual.

Hearing what Liu Yifan said last night, if he guessed correctly, those people were trying to kill these two people, but it was beyond his expectation that all traces of fighting could be cleaned up overnight. It turns out that the background of these two people is bigger than what I thought before.

However, when he thought about what he wanted to say, he stepped into the room with the door open, and what he saw was a slightly weird scene.

That Li Wanshu was drinking tea with another stranger, the former was still staring at the latter's face very rudely, but the one who was looked at had an expression of "I'm used to it, just bear with it" .

Last night after Luo Xingyun got a layer of skin shaved, he tossed it all night, unfortunately, no matter how much he fiddled with that layer of skin, he couldn't get it back, so he had to reluctantly peel it off and throw a new skin on it.

Chen Liao's mind went blank for a moment, and then he touched his nose and interrupted the weird atmosphere resentfully: "Cough, Mr. Li...Mr. Luo."

Hearing Chen Liao's cry, the two people in the room turned their gazes to him. Li Wanshu saw the former's hesitant appearance, and his smile deepened: "Mr. Chen, but what clues did you find?"

Luo Xingyun listened to Chen Liao's words revealing his identity, and his light-colored eyes were embellished with a different kind of expression. He raised his eyes and put down his teacup with a smile, "Or is there something unspeakable about Mr. Chen? Do the two lend a helping hand?"

Chen Liao blinked a pair of peach blossom eyes, obviously a little surprised, but he quickly put away the emotion on his face, turned around and closed the door, and started to talk about business: "I don't know, you two... did you find the jade pendant?"

Luo Xingyun narrowed his eyes slightly, stretched out his hand to pick up the very fine jade pendant and hung it on his index finger, but the blood on it was not wiped away.He smiled weakly, and carefully observed Chen Liao's face: "It is true that I picked up the jade pendant by chance, so it's easy to return it. But Mr. Chen...should you tell us something?"

"What should be said... I will definitely say it, because this time I just want to ask the two of you for help." Chen Liao sighed and said slowly.

It turned out that the Liu family was Chen Liao's family sister. Because of some accident two years ago, he was told that the family sister who had been missing for three years suddenly appeared in a brothel and was redeemed by a Liu son to marry into the Liu family.It's a pity that when he arrived at the location of the Liu family, the Liu family had already died tragically in Xiaozhulin. The unwilling Chen Liao naturally found an identity and stayed to search for the murderer of his sister. However, after observing here for a long time, he found that the village seemed to be What's the trick.

Chen Liao is not good at martial arts, so it is difficult to track down anything deep. All he knows is that this group of people is looking for a painting left by his sister in the village, a portrait of his sister, and that portrait was painted by Mr. Liu himself. .As for the female ghost in white, he really couldn't find anything, so he could only start from the victim, but he carelessly dropped the jade pendant that night.

"The painting you mentioned... probably contains the answer to all the mysteries, which is why your sister was killed." Li Wanshu said after listening, "According to what you said, the real painting should be In the hands of Mr. Liu, did you go and see where Mr. Liu was buried after his death?"

Speaking of this, Chen Liao paused for a moment, then frowned slightly: "I dug it up, but to my surprise, there was nothing inside."

"Nothing...what do you mean?" Luo Xingyun asked.

"There is no coffin, no corpse, it is an empty tomb with only steles."

"This is...strange." Luo Xingyun raised his eyebrows, showing a hint of interest, "So you didn't find that painting, and now you don't know where it is? Do you want us to find it for you? Bar?"

"That's right." Chen Liao smiled wryly, "But I already have some guesses. The group of people couldn't find the painting after tossing around Liu's house for so long. It must be hidden in some places that are easy to be ignored. For example... the Liu family."

"Liu family?" Luo Xingyun paused for a moment, then looked at Li Wanshu, who was silent at the side, but saw that nerd with a deep expression on his face, and then readily agreed when Luo Xingyun was hesitating.

"I can help." The fake scholar said with a warm smile, his black eyes still glanced at Luo Xingyun.

"..." Luo Xingyun narrowed his eyes to look at Li Wanshu and then at Chen Liao, who was beaming at the side. He wondered if the fake scholar was "bewitched by masculinity". Said that the two have communicated to help him?Thinking about it left and right, Luo Xingyun suddenly thought that Ali said before his death that he was also the target of their assassination, and immediately made a decision.

"I can do it too." Luo Xingyun smiled slightly.

Chen Liao couldn't hide the smile on his white and tender face immediately, and he made a series in a proper manner: "I thank you two for your help in advance. I, Chen Liao, must know everything about those people, and I can say everything."

So the two waited in the room until the moon was high, but just before they were about to go out, Chen Liao sent a piece of paper, saying that it might be helpful to find the location of the painting.The Liu family is not an ordinary family now, there are people patrolling the courtyard at any time, no matter how skillful and daring the two of them are, they can only climb over the wall and enter.

After Luo Xingyun jumped on the roof, he squatted down and carefully observed the patrolling people in the yard. After a long while, he turned his head and gave a blank look to the man who was too polite to turn over the roof and was waving his fan: "The people below you seven Me three."

"Pfft." Li Wanshu couldn't help but sneered, "I said, Brother Yun, if we two thieves get a share of the money, that's about the same as you say. For things like fighting, I'll be a scholar and you'll pay me seven and you three. Is it fair?"

The corners of Luo Xingyun's mouth twitched, and then raised his eyebrows: "Dare to ask your Excellency, are you a gentleman?"

"Yes, so what." Li Wanshu replied without hesitation.

"That's right, but I'm not a gentleman, so I don't need to wrong myself for that bit of gentlemanly etiquette, but I will do my best to find things." Luo Xingyun's words were already looting, and it was a little rascal The words that he said flowed into the ears of the gentleman who was still on the roof without missing a word.

Li Wanshu stood on the roof and looked at the figure of the person who left, his face was a bit dazed, and then the corner of his mouth curled into a nice arc, and he muttered to himself: "It's not easy to be a gentleman these days. ah..."

After a few laps on the roof, Luo Xingyun really couldn't find where to start, so he had to find out the reminder given by Chen Liao.Before he fully unfolded the paper, Li Wanshu leaned over to read it, and the former unfolded the paper calmly, but the contents of the paper made the two of them instantly dumbfounded.

The ink marks drawn on the paper can be described as flamboyant, flying and phoenix-dancing, like characters and paintings, full of circles and dots between the virtual and the real. If you just look at the momentum, it is very casual and majestic, quite... the style of a master.And at the lower left corner of the whole piece of paper, there finally appeared the three characters that were fairly correct: Liu Jiatu.

Li Wanshu quickly scanned the contents of the paper with an inscrutable face, then took a deep breath and said with a serious expression, "This painting by Mr. Chen... is really a painting that should only exist in the sky. It is rare to see it in the world. .”

Luo Xingyun rolled his eyes to recover from the huge shock, and took back the paper resentfully: "So the matter of finding the map is up to us, let's go to Mrs. Liu and Mr. Liu's room first. "

Since the tricks of the Liu family have been around for more than a year, that is to say, they have to rummage through the things in those rooms, and they only need to start from the hidden compartment in the room.The two of them sneaked into Mr. Liu's room by the window, bypassing the patrolling servants. The furnishings in this room were already covered with dust.A gust of wind kicked up a layer of dust due to someone's intrusion into the house, reflecting a little bit of starlight under the faint moonlight shining through the window.

Luo Xingyun stretched out his hand and waved it away to observe the room a little, but he didn't find anything amiss, so he began to grope for it. The quickness of his movements and the seriousness of his demeanor, Ruo Li Wanshu must comment here: the essence of petty theft Played to the fullest, he is simply a leader in the world of gentlemen on Liangshang.

Luo Xingyun also seemed to realize that something was missing, and when he turned around, the fake scholar who had been following him disappeared at some point.

"Where did this idiot go?" Luo Xingyun muttered and didn't care, he couldn't understand that guy's martial arts, so he definitely didn't have to worry about being caught, it's better to save some time to find something.But if someone can force that guy to jump, Luo Xingyun is very happy to see it, who makes that guy always look calm and unhurried.

Here Luo Xingyun was very unkindly looking forward to someone tripping Li Wanshu, but suddenly the lights outside the house were brightly lit, accompanied by a rush of footsteps, there was a panic shout: "There are assassins! There are assassins!"

Luo Xingyun quickly approached the door and listened to the movement outside for a while, then pursed his lips, his light-colored eyes were full of surprise: Could it be that we were discovered when we came in?No... If you want to find out, you have already found out... Did someone come in again?

"The assassin is gone! Hurry up and search each room carefully! If something goes wrong, the heads of all of you here are not enough to cut off!" A man roared viciously.Luo Xingyun frowned in the room, jumped up onto the beam in a flash and suppressed his aura to the minimum, no matter what, the guards will be stricter after these people are alarmed tonight, it may be troublesome to come in later, So something must be available tonight.

"Click!" Suddenly the closed window was pulled open, and a figure quickly jumped in and closed the window again.Luo Xingyun raised his eyebrows and quietly touched the hilt of the sword with his right hand, and then heard a slightly familiar voice shouting softly: "Brother Yun!"

"..." Luo Xingyun withdrew his hand silently, watching the man jump up to the beam and squat next to him with his light skills.

"What happened outside?" Luo Xingyun couldn't see Li Wanshu's expression and had to ask.

"Cough, it's nothing serious." Li Wanshu straightened his sleeves unnaturally and laughed a few times, "It's just... just accidentally rang their alarm bell..."

Luo Xingyun's eyes widened suddenly, as if he was looking at the red-ass monkey who was buying juggling on the street, and his expression was unusually distressed: "You are also curious about a broken bell. I should say that I didn't expect Brother Li to be so ignorant of such a simple thing. Or is it because the scenery of the Liu Family Courtyard is so beautiful that you, Brother Li, have forgotten that we sneaked in to follow things?" The contempt and dislike in the words were so obvious that they almost engraved 'I owe a beating' on Li Junzi's head. Two words.

Li Wanshu was about to say something but suddenly stopped, moved his body slowly to the side, and stretched out his finger to the beam under their feet: "Did you see it?"

"What did you see?" Luo Xingyun lowered his head and looked in the direction Li Wanshu was pointing at. It turned out that there was a footprint on the beam of the house covered with a thick layer of dust, and this footprint was obviously not the foot of a normal adult man. size.

Luo Xingyun gestured with the faint moonlight coming through the window, frowned and said: "Is this a woman's footprint?"

"Not completely sure." Li Wanshu heard the movement outside the room, and it was a little noisy. It should be that someone searched the room near them.He originally wanted to light a candle to take a closer look at the footprints, but unfortunately he still had to make up for the trouble he caused, so he softly said to Luo Xingyun: "I'll go and distract those people who are in the way outside, and you take the opportunity to light a candle to look at those footprints." footprint."

Just as Luo Xingyun wanted to nod his head in agreement, he suddenly reached out and grabbed Li Wanshu's sleeve: "Wait a minute, if you don't have much time now, you might be suspected if you go again, come here."

Li Wanshu raised his eyebrows, he was naturally happy that he didn't have to run out, so he carefully moved towards Luo Xingyun.

Looking at the hypocrite, Luo Xingyun couldn't help but raise the corners of his mouth like an old hen just hatching eggs, and then held back his smile so that his voice sounded the same as usual: "Untie the belt, and pull the outer shirt away. "

There was a sudden silence in the room, Ruo Luo Xingyun's words could be said to be extremely domineering and frivolous in other places, like a local bully who would grab money if he had money in Fengyuechang.Of course, the premise is that the one standing opposite him must be a girl, but it would be very awkward and weird to say this to a big man under the current circumstances.

It's a pity that this Li Wanshu is obviously a veteran in love, from teasing to teasing, he is not bad at all, even better than Luo Xingyun.I saw this nerd, except for a moment when he didn't realize it, the following was a handy performance: "Brother Yun...do you want me to be half undressed in broad daylight? People will see it later and say I might be misunderstanding something."

Luo Xingyun narrowed his eyes slightly, with a smile that was not a smile: "Shading the light."

"Hey, okay, I'll take it off now." Li Wanshu seemed to sigh helplessly. If the light was sufficient at this time, Luo Xingyun would definitely see the very meaningful expression of the fake scholar, but it's a pity that the lights are so dark that no one can see see no one.

When Li Wanshu pulled the shirt away, Luo Xingyun immediately leaned over and lit a candle at a place very close to the other party, and the faint light radiated out, illuminating the silhouettes and faces of the two.

Luo Xingyun casually glanced at Li Wanshu, the image of a dignified and gentle gentleman was completely destroyed at this moment.Under the flickering candlelight, someone's middle coat was dazzlingly white, while his outer shirt was open, and it was rare that his clothes were disheveled and very embarrassing.

Luo Xingyun was secretly happy in his heart, but when his eyes fell on the footprints of the beam, the brows of the rough man on the two faces immediately frowned.The dust on the footprints was much lighter than other places, and there were some dark black stains on the edges of the footprints. He reached out and took some off, pinched it between his fingers, and sniffed it close to his nose. The black thing turned out to be is blood.

Although Luo Xingyun's side is serious, but Li Wanshu's mind on the side has gone somewhere else.In order to block the light of the candle as much as possible, it was not enough for the two of them to rely on their outer shirts, so they got very close, and the two heads that bowed their heads naturally came together.Luo Xingyun looked at it seriously, his forehead almost touched his shoulders without realizing it, Li Wanshu felt the heat radiating from his neck and shoulders, his lips could not help but pursed, his lacquer-like black eyes darkened In the dark, I don't know what I want.

Luo Xingyun took a step back and Li Wanshu also moved forward. Suddenly, the two found a small hole on the beam that Luo Xingyun stepped on just now, and there were some fine iron inlaid in the middle of the shallow hole. Ordinary matter with an unusual shape, glowing with tiny bits of light under the dim candlelight.

"Is this... is it a mechanism?" Li Wanshu looked at this small shallow pit that didn't know its purpose. He should have a serious and in-depth look on his face, but because of his action of pulling his coat, he became a little ridiculous, "Look at the A polygon should be something to put in it."

Luo Xingyun stretched out his hand above the small pit and gesticulated with his fingers, but he didn't touch anything in the shallow pit at all. You must know that most of these organs are poisoned, and if you accidentally touch a star or a half, you may be able to kill your little one. Life.

Suddenly Luo Xingyun took out something from his bosom. It was warm and moist, green and flawless, with auspicious clouds carved on the top and owls carved on the bottom. It can be said to be a very high-quality item. Most people really can't afford it. It is the piece that Chen Liao lost. jade pendant.

At first glance, the shape of this jade pendant was very similar to that of the small pit. Luo Xingyun wanted to put it in, but when he was half an inch away from the pit, he retracted his hand, then raised his head and looked at the Li Wanshu who did not move: "Brother Li...do you have a handkerchief or silk scarf with you?"

"As a literati, you should prepare what you need when you go out." Li Wanshu smiled and took out a simple white square scarf from his sleeve and handed it over, but he saw Luo Xingyun who was waiting calmly on the opposite side Xing immediately leaned back, frowned and covered his nose lightly, as if quite...disgusted.

Luo Xingyun didn't like incense, or he was a little wary of it.Many well-known people from all walks of life like to soak some refreshing or sleep-inducing drugs in the incense, but these are not normal states.

Then he heard Li Wanshu laughing slightly mockingly: "What? Brother Yun, can't you smell the incense?"

"I can't smell such a thick powdery incense." Luo Xingyun said casually, and then he heard voices coming from not far away from the room, so he didn't care too much, reached out and took the silk scarf to wrap the jade pendant and went on put it in.

"Crack!" The jade pendant didn't know what was wrong. As soon as it was put in, it was caught by something and couldn't move. What followed was a loud noise from nowhere, which made the unsuspecting man crouch on the beam. The two men with the bird on top were shaken physically and mentally, and they almost fell off the top.
