Daming's Bizarre Story: Painted Skin

Where was Gu Kuan's body hidden in such a short time?

Yan Dan said: "We still don't want to separate, no matter how many rooms there are in the dormitory, we can finish the search if we walk faster."

"Yeah, let's not separate."

"Yes! We will not separate." Everyone was frightened by Gu Kuan's strange death and disappearance, so they kept saying.

Jiu Ru nodded and said, "Leave four people to guard the door, and the other students will follow."

Gu Yan volunteered to stay. He glanced at Jia Chen and said, "Sir, my leg was twisted just now. It's the gate of the caretaker's quarters that Jia Chen and I stayed behind."

In the end, Yan Dan, Jia Chen, Ju Yan, and another student named Sun Qi stayed to guard the gate, while the other students continued to search the dormitory.

----

Yan Dan sat down in the pavilion at the entrance when everyone's backs were gone. His legs were still trembling. No one knew the process of Gu Kuan's death better than him.

Yan Dan was a few years older than these young students, so he wouldn't believe the rhetoric of those Jinyiwei, and he wouldn't be as passionate as these stunned youths to save people's livelihood and uphold justice.

The only purpose of him and Gu Kuan coming in was to save himself, not to be cannon fodder for Jin Yiwei.

Gu Kuan had always been an errand runner among the students, lacking in assertiveness, so he was easily persuaded by his few words.

Therefore, they never planned to search the dormitory in depth according to Jiu Ru's order. They only planned to stay at the door from the beginning to the end. When he was chatting with Gu Kuan in the pavilion, he heard the sound of the door opening.

Yan Dan turned his head subconsciously, he saw Ju Yan sneaking out with a package, and Jia Chen was waiting for him not far away.

Jia Chen's family background is good, young and handsome, and his husband is a little sage, so it is inevitable that he is a little arrogant on weekdays. In Yan Dan's view, his future achievements are far inferior to that student named A Xian from the theater troupe.

Yan Dan couldn't help but flashed the clear appearance in his mind and couldn't help laughing: "The little sage really recruited a lot of weird people." He pointed to Jia Chen and said, "Speaking of it, there are only This Jia Chen is the most normal."

He turned his head after saying this, but found Gu Kuan's expression was very strange.

"What's the matter, do you think Jia Chen is not normal?" Yan Dan smiled.

----

"Senior Yan." Suddenly someone whispered next to his ear.

Yan Dan's memories were suddenly interrupted. He turned his head and found that it was Jia Chen. He was a little bit at a loss and said, "Yes, is there something wrong?"

Jia Chen's face was as pale as paper, and he looked at Ju Yan who was coming and going in and out of the nearby yard and whispered, "Did you see Gu Yan?"

"Gu Yan..." Yan Dan looked at Ju Yan and nodded, and asked suspiciously: "Of course, what do you want to say."

Jia Chen's complexion became paler, and his tone was austere: "I... didn't have time to tell my husband just now, I need my senior to help me inform him, and tell him that I suspect that this Guyan...is not really Guyan, but ...but may be disguised by monsters."

Yan Dan looked at Jia Chen for a while before swallowing: "Do you need evidence for what you say?"

"I have evidence, it's absolutely true." Jia Chen said firmly, and his speech gradually became fluent, "I'll help you hold him here, you go to my husband, and I will naturally come up with evidence when the time comes Prove that this face is fake."

Yan Dan suddenly realized that he had miscalculated, he shouldn’t have stayed at the door, this place may be far more dangerous than inside, think about it carefully, where is it safer than the little sage’s side, Yan Dan regretted that he thought he was smart, The power of the sages should not be underestimated.

"Okay, let's do it like this. I'll go find the little sage right now, you drag Gu Yan first!"

Instead, Jia Chen's face was not so pale, and instead he had a look of resignation: "Don't worry, I will hold him back."

Yan Dan came down from the pavilion in a hurry, and it happened that Ju Yan walked out of the door again, and he gained more in the door. Although Bailu Book City claims to be a universal aid, rich and poor students are treated equally, but these hard-working sage books Which one is not provided by the whole family?Each student's residence more or less hides some valuable things.

"Finally, it won't be a loss." Gu Yan secretly weighed the new harvest in his hand, he raised his eyes and saw Yan Dan quickly smiled, "I have searched all these courtyards of the senior, and I didn't find anything strange The place."

"Oh, I just realized that there are some clues before Gu Kuan's death, so I'll go to my husband, and you guys keep an eye on the door." Yan Dan said vaguely.

"Okay, I will definitely keep an eye on the door with Jia Chen and the others." Ju Yan responded immediately, and finally he took out another pack of pastries, "Just now Sun Qi said, senior, you have a bad stomach recently, here is a newly bought pack Sweet-scented osmanthus cake. You take it first, after all, you don’t know when we will be able to go out.”

As he said that, he winked at Yan Dan, Yan Dan took the pastry, thanked him, and hurried away. Ju Yan watched Yan Dan's footsteps seem to be a bit heavy from behind him, and took a long breath. Kuan's death was a heavy blow to the senior.

Thinking of this, Gu Yan couldn't help but turned to look at Jia Chen. When he met Jia Chen's gaze, Jia Chen involuntarily turned his head away. In Ju Yan's opinion, this was a sign of guilt.

It seems that Gu Kuan was really killed by Jia Chen, but where can he put the body?

Sun Qi came out from another door. He looked around, walked up to Ju Yan and asked softly, "Senior Gu, where is Senior Yan Dan?"

"Oh, he went to find the little saint." Gu Yan said.

Sun Qi lowered his head with hesitation, Gu Yan took out a piece of sweet-scented osmanthus cake and stuffed it into his mouth: "If you have anything to say, just say it."

Sun Qi bit his lips lightly: "I think Senior Yan Dan is very strange today..."

Gu Yan bit the sweet-scented osmanthus cake: "Compared to the human head tree, who else can be regarded as strange?"

Sun Qi shook his head: "Senior Yan Dan hates Gu Kuan the most, isn't it strange that he took the initiative to partner with Gu Kuan today?"

"Why is he at odds with Gu Kuan?" Ju Yan asked.

Sun Qi said: "Don't you know? Senior Yan Dan originally had a chance to get a seat in the Imperial College, but after eating the sweet-scented osmanthus cake that Senior Gu Kuan bought along with him, he vomited and vomited. It’s not too good either. Although it was later said that the owner of the pastry shop accidentally mixed rat poison into it, who knows if senior Gu Kuan did it on purpose out of jealousy?”

Ju Yan suddenly felt that the sweet-scented osmanthus cake in her mouth could not be swallowed.

----

"Sir, it seems that there is nothing suspicious in the dormitory." A student said to Jiuru.

"But, that, that Gu..." Someone swallowed half of the sentence, they searched almost all the dormitories, but they still couldn't find Gu Kuan's body, which in itself was the most suspicious thing.

Zhao Ran raised his head and said to Jiu Ru, "Is the back of our dormitory going into the mountain?"

Jiu Ru understood what he meant: "Behind is Bailu Mountain. The mountain is extremely high. There is only a stone path from the academy. If the murderer fled to the mountain, we can still see it from here."

"Sir, isn't there a temple on the mountain?"

"Temple?" Zhao Ran asked.

Jiu Ru nodded: "This temple was originally donated by someone. Later, because it was not appropriate for the college to build a temple, it stopped working. Only the main hall was left for the students to take a temporary rest when they went up to the mountain to see the scenery."

Hearing that they mentioned the temple, Zhao Ran couldn't help thinking of the Buddha in the past. He pulled Jiu Ru's sleeve and said, "Then let's go and have a look."

"Alright, He Zhen's team is going to call Jia Chen and the others over, and we'll go up and have a look together." Jiu Ru said, once they go up the mountain, only four students will be left in the entire dormitory, which is too much Danger.

He Zhen and the two immediately turned around and ran to inform Jia Chen and the others. The students stood there and whispered for a while, and Jia Chen and the others quickly came.

Zhao Ran glanced at the three of them and said, "Where is Senior Yan Dan?"

Gu Yan was stunned: "Didn't senior Yan Dan come to see Mr. earlier? He said he remembered some clues about Gu Kuan's death, and then asked us to guard the door, and he came here first."

"Impossible!" He Zhen said, "With so many people here, no one has seen Yan Dan come over."

"The two groups separate and come to find Yan Dan first." Jiu Ru said.

Standing there, Zhao Ran had a bad feeling that Yan Dan and the others would never see each other again.
