looking for sister

There are many secrets hidden in this Xiliu city.

Like a beast hiding in a cave.

People outside know it is inside and can hear its rough sound, but because the hole is black, no one can tell clearly what it looks like.

And because of this, it seems to be indestructible.

The two of them lived in the inn for a few days, and they basically killed this point.This inn is located on the main street, and on such a large scale, there are very few guests.Even during the busiest lunch, there were few people in the hall.

They had just found a corner position.As a result, the entire hall seemed even more neglected by the guests.

There are rice and several plates on the table, mostly meat dishes.Lin Jian picked up a piece of shredded pork, and felt a little dissatisfied after eating too much, so she pushed towards Su Mu, "Fortunately, the injury on your arm is much better, but you have been taboo for a few days, now you can relax some."

When Lin Jian said this, Lin Jian was still frowning obviously. Su Mu ate some kindly, and then smiled, "Seeing that it is getting colder and vegetables are difficult to supply, this place is no better than home, Ah Jian should barely make it for a few days."

"Although the granary and farmland are guarded here, it's God's business when it comes to winter, and we can't control it." The second brother came over to add water and took the opportunity to answer the conversation. Lin Jian responded with a few words, so the topic changed. "At this time of year, people in the city have to go to the resident to pay food."

In fact, Lin Jian didn't know what kind of food was planted outside the city, but after the cold dew, until now, something must be slowly being recycled.And there is a granary built by the garrison here, so it is logical to hand it over there.Lin Jian just asked this question, but the waiter in the store gave a meal, and the other one next to him was packing up, and the rag almost flew out.

In the hall, needles could be heard immediately.

"Did I say the wrong thing?" Lin Jian was also a little embarrassed, and hurriedly motioned to Su Mu who was opposite.

So Su Mu had no choice but to make things right. Farming the fields is related to food. This was what the two of them said repeatedly during their discussions in the past few days, but of course there was no conclusion about the case.

What Lin Jian said just now was nothing more than unintentional words, or it was just a superficial attempt.

Who would have expected...their reaction would be so great?

"It's strange that the villain was distracted just now. He saw that the guest officer was eating deliciously, and he was hungry." The second brother froze for a moment but then realized that the other one next to him also grabbed a rag and came over to smooth things over, "The matter of handing in food has indeed been going on for a long time. It has continued until now, but the villagers all go in small groups, afraid of encountering robbers on the way."

"A robber?" Su Mu raised his head, his eyelids twitching.

"How is it possible? No matter how you say it... it should be counted as military rations." Lin Jian almost forgot that he was still eating, but the two quickly slipped away, "There are robbers, and they are very fierce. The two guests If the officer is fine, don’t go there.”

……

Not to mention that Xiliu City was originally built here for the resettlement of soldiers and civilians in the fields, and the idea of ​​the military and civilian families has probably already been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people.Furthermore... no matter how arrogant a robber is, when he encounters an official matter, he always has to weigh his ability.Lin Jian found it unbelievable when she heard this, but she also laughed and joked, "It's okay, if they are really robbed, they are just doing it for money, and they just give it all."

After Lin Jian finished speaking, she realized that she had made a slip of the tongue. In front of her was not a wine table where she was chatting with Xiu Yuan and the others, but Su Mu was sitting opposite.

He gagged and looked up, but found that Su Mu was staring at the table in front of him, wondering what he was thinking.

"I'm just joking, cousin, don't take it seriously." Lin Jian poked it carefully, and then Su Mu raised his head, "What's wrong?"

Feelings didn't notice his outrageous words at all, Lin Jian rejoiced, and poked at him again, "What were you thinking just now?"

The refugees near the fire house.

A petition signed by hundreds of people.

Chase on the water.

Insinuation of staying inside and outside the city.

The taboos of farming were mentioned by the two juniors, and they were all reminded at this time.

"It's okay, go back to your room and rest first."

Lin Jian's eyes widened, and she only waited for this sentence.

However, after getting along with him these days, Lin Jian had gotten to know him a little better, so naturally he didn't ask anything at this time, and just followed him upstairs.

The inn was well-furnished, and there were ready-made brushes, ink, paper and inkstones. Seeing Su Mu sitting on the side of the desk, Lin Jianjian consciously took the ink ingots to grind.

Su Mu rested his chin and stared at the white paper, moving quietly, the atmosphere in the room was very good.

At first, when they were not familiar with each other's temperament, they got married in a hurry.But in fact, until the two of them clarified their intentions, it was just a short time ago.

This is the true sense of the newlyweds, but it doesn't matter if they live in a different place, but they are still in such a place where unknown dangers lurk.

Nervous and depressing, but with a lingering excitement.Lin Jian rubbed the ink and thought about it. When he came back to his senses, he found that Su Mu had been writing for a long time, and the paper was densely packed with traces.

Although Lin Jian couldn't fully understand Su Mu's intentions, she could roughly see that the above summary actually put everything from her sister's disappearance to the present on a piece of paper.As for Tuntian, it is placed in the middle as the most important thing, and it is connected with the rest of the items.

"Sister is the captain of the Tuntian Army, Xiuyuan is the only son of Master Zhao, and Botong is his good friend. The Huofang case may be Song Ming who was revealed by the army, and Cousin Lian was suspected because of Song Ming. The case came from the city. , It is also related to farming. But we found the case on the man in black who was chasing after him. So this man in black is in the army?"

Lin Jian counted down the lines one by one, her voice getting louder and louder, almost screaming because she couldn't hide it.

He was overwhelmed by the crazy idea.

Su Mu's finger was also pointing at the word "Tuntian" in the middle, but at this moment, a basin of cold water was poured on it at the right time.

"The disappearance of Zhao Xiuyuan and Zhou Botong, if you insist on linking it with the Huofang case, you can only say that the refugee who was killed was the person who might have seen something in front of the academy, but judging from the scene of the crime, it is absolutely impossible. It wasn't made by people in the army, if it was them, it could only be crisp and decisive."

"It's not impossible for Song Ming to contact the army. It's just that the academy was under martial law at that time. Even if Ah Lian went out once during a sensitive time, how could he have contact with Tuntian?"

"As for Xiangwu, he must have been implicated because he knew that the letter pointed out your elder sister's whereabouts. Judging from the scene of the crime, it is also straightforward. The murderer can consider the killer and other aspects."

"But how can the army, the academy, and the family get in touch? If any clue is wrong, it will be a failure, not to mention, these are just our own conjectures."

Lin Jian was already excited to find a way out, but now he was completely overwhelmed, "Then what should we do, should we just sit and wait for death?"

"The only way out is to go to the camp to find out the truth."

Su Mu made a conclusion based on this, but he did not make such an astonishing move as making a case.

Immediately, Lin Jian felt a little on fire.

The camp was set up in the south of the city, and it was only about five or six miles away from the city gate. The two of them briefly explored it, and walked directly towards it the next day.

As the little brother in the store said, from time to time on the road, you can meet people who are going to deliver food, and they are in groups of three or four.

The two went up to ask several times, but each time they met with a setback.Or maybe not because of the fact that no one walks or accosts them.If you encounter it, you will walk away immediately.

It was afternoon at this time, and the weather was rarely very good. The sun was warm and the wind was not too strong.They are currently on the official road, and the road under their feet is very flat, but Lin Jian's mood is really not very good, "I will never come to this kind of place, someone really robbed the army food."

After being treated like this over and over again, he really remembered what the second brother said.

"If there is such a bold and reckless person, he must not be an ordinary robber. If it involves farming, I am afraid that he will report it back immediately." Su Mu controlled his eyes from wandering around, and said, "We are just here to visit relatives. It’s better not to pay attention to the rest. If you go back late, you may not even be able to enter the city gate.”

Lin Jian was taken aback for a moment, but she also realized that before they came out, they had already discussed how to respond if they were suspected, even the clothes on their bodies were changed to coarse cloth.

A few miles is not very far away, and then the two of them hurried on the road, so naturally they went faster.

It's just that when they got outside the camp, they could no longer see the people who had come to deliver food, and there were only shallow wheel marks on the ground.

"Those people should have already gone in, but they are only here to deliver food, so they probably can't find anything." Lin Jian raised his foot and kicked the car marks lightly, feeling a little discouraged immediately.He had heard Lin Tian's description before, and he thought that there must be an open space in front of the camp. If there was a battle, the enemy and us would stick to their weapons and open up in this open space.

But... Needless to say, the camp walls are extremely high, and there are several watchtowers in the two corners that can be seen in front.In addition, there are ditches outside the wall. As for hiding... Lin Jian glanced around and found that there was not even a single dead grass in the place he was looking at, not to mention the mountains and forests.

"You said... If you use the reason of visiting relatives? What is the possibility of us being put in?"

Lin Jian spoke weakly, and Su Mu couldn't help helping his forehead... In fact, it was his first time visiting a camp or something like that.

"Ah Jane, I am a civil servant."

……

"Yes, I know." Lin Jian silently agreed, and at the same time gave up the idea of ​​breaking in.

The two stayed in place and continued to wait and see, but soon, there was a figure walking down from the watchtower, who shouted urgently, "Stop."
