looking for sister

Lin Jian's face was a little hot when he laughed, and he thought that the old man would laugh one day.

After such a reminder, he pulled away from the shadow of his studies, and remembered that he was originally Lin Tian, ​​so there was nothing to be afraid of.

"Hello, gentlemen."

Anyway, after the greeting, the middle-aged man straightened his expression again and gestured towards Su Mu.

"The matter of Xiuyuan and Botong is still gone. There can be no other accidents in this Qinghui Building. I have already told everyone that they are not allowed to come out at night."

"Yeah." Su Mu nodded slightly, and asked again, "Apart from Zhou Huairen, who else has a close relationship with them, Mr. Liu, please make a list for them."

"Is this an inquiry?" The old man also moved forward a little, and before Su Mu could respond, he reached out and patted Su Mu on the shoulder.

"These people are all your juniors, and they all stay in the academy on weekdays. Although they are a bit reckless, they are just students."

"Well, students have a sense of propriety."

Su Mu answered politely.

Lin Jian was watching from the side, and naturally understood what the old man meant.He thought that the old man looked old-fashioned, but he was kind of cute after all.

Thinking of this, Lin Jian couldn't help looking around, but the next moment she wanted to kick Su Mu's leg.Because Xu was trying to avoid embarrassment, Su Mu had already taken the initiative to talk about other topics, and he was talking about his business.

"Madam said that Fang Xu is also studying here, and my aunt is a little concerned, so I want to ask how he was here before?"

……

Su Mu was unmoved by the small movements behind him, and Lin Jian shrank behind him, and naturally saw that the two gentlemen paused for a moment.

"Oh... it's okay, it's okay."

Until the exchange of pleasantries was over, Lin Jian felt that she couldn't get rid of the shame as she walked back from the courtyard.

Su Mu followed with a smirk, and Lin Jian wanted to punch him in the face, but he gave up the idea to avoid being slandered.

After walking a few steps, Lin Jian realized that they were walking towards the backyard.

"Brother Chenghong, don't you want to go around?"

Lin Jian pulled him back in a hurry. The afterglow of the setting sun had all faded away. He faced Su Mu, and felt that the other person's face was also darkened a little.

"The academy is densely covered with mountain springs, so several places have to be connected by arch bridges, and because of the terrain, they are well-arranged. Besides, I remember that the academy has regulations on shifts."

"Do you mean that there is an inside ghost in the courtyard? Just based on the outside thief's words, I don't know how to get out?"

Lin Jian quickly picked up the conversation. After he said this, he even forgot that he was still tugging on the other party's sleeve, but the next moment he subconsciously denied it.

"No, although there are indeed children of officials and eunuchs here, we all study together, and rarely have any quarrels because of family matters. Besides, Xiuyuan and Botong are very good-natured, and they have never provoked anyone on weekdays."

"Who had a conflict with them before then?"

Su Mu asked him back.

"It seems to be me... I remember that incident for almost a year. They made fun of me with the word Fang Xu, especially Xiu Yuan, so I punched him a few times. No personal grudges."

Lin Jian scratched her head, quite embarrassed.

"Oh, the gangster is you."

Su Mu replied solemnly, and Lin Jian was immediately frightened by his seriousness, and didn't know how to reply for a while.

When he came to his senses, he found that this wicked man was smiling at him, and took his hand to continue walking backwards.

"You let go."

"Didn't you catch me first?"

"That's the sleeve... At worst, you can grab my sleeve too."

The further back, the more obvious the gurgling sound of the water, Lin Jian took a few steps tightly, but still did not shake off the opponent's hand.

However, after arguing and arguing, Lin Jian walked out of the arch and found that they had reached the backyard. At this moment, he felt a little dazed.

"Wait a minute, since it is said that the gangsters hijacked the two of them, and because they are not familiar with this place, they should leave some traces along the way. Shouldn't we look for it first at this time?"

"Recall what Huai Ren said before. He said that Zhao Xiuyuan noticed that there were people outside the window for several days, and then he disappeared suddenly. If the gangster hasn't figured out the situation in a few days, it is obviously wrong. possible."

Su Mu led the people forward, but Lin Jian was taken aback when he heard this, "So what are we going to do now?"

"Go and catch fish."

……

"Catch fish?"

Lin Jian let out a low cry, turned her head to look, and found that she was not far from Xiaotan, only about a dozen steps away.

"You neglect your duties like this, do the adults in Dali Temple know?"

"They don't know." Su Mu replied, and smiled again, as if the night and stars filled his eyes with his smile, making him look pretty.

Lin Jian was a little dizzy, and angrily punched Su Mu on the shoulder.

"Is it inconvenient to take me? Anyway, I know the way, so I'll go back alone."

"No, I have always believed in you, no matter in the past, now, or in the future."

Su Mu grabbed the troublesome hand, Lin Jian twitched to no avail, and jumped angrily.

Of course... What's more, he didn't know how to respond to what the other party said just now, so he had to pretend he didn't hear it.

"Then are we really here to catch fish?" He asked again without giving up.

"As soon as the people from the government came, they immediately called Zhou Huairen for questioning. But after returning, he faltered and refused to speak. When others see him, they must think that he has revealed something."

"And presumably after we go back, Mrs. Liu will send over a list of other people. These people are friends of the two, and they know more than others. Maybe they will dig out something that can be used. Clues. Furthermore, if there are ghosts among them, they will definitely be suspicious of each other, and after a whole night, their spirits will also become tense, so it is natural to ask questions tomorrow, which will be better than today."

"Besides, several teams of guards are in the bright position, which adds a bit of pressure virtually."

After Su Mu replied this sentence, he didn't say anything else. Lin Jian was stunned for a moment and then followed the others.

"Brother Chenghong...you won't use these things to deal with me, right?" Lin Jian found herself stuttering when she said this.

"will not."

Su Mu replied solemnly, took his hand and walked forward. At this moment, they had come to Xiao Tan's side.

At this time, although the night is getting darker, the moon and stars are scarce, so the water in Tanzhong is shining brightly, but because the water flow is not very slow, it cannot gather the reflection of the starry sky.

The two waited by the water for a while, and Lin Jianjian noticed a black shadow not far away, swimming towards this side.

Subconsciously, he looked back and found that Su Mu had put up his airs.

The black shadow was getting closer and closer, and when it came to the eyes, it was a fat grass carp with a dumbfounded look, so it should be easy to catch alive.

Lin Jian quickly squatted down to calculate the distance, but there seemed to be something bumping behind her.

"I can catch it myself without a harpoon."

It was probably because Su Mu handed him some tool, Lin Jian waved his hand, but the strength did not disappear, and then he found that the pool water under his feet was also a little shiny.

He and Su Mu didn't bring lanterns when they came.

Lin Jian was a little stupid now, he quickly got up and stood up, and when he turned around, he found that standing behind him was a beauty in green clothes, holding a blue lantern in his hand, with no other expression on his face, facing towards the He sees.
