looking for sister

The incense burner is placed on the table, and it is the most common kind for incense.The whole body is made of copper, with three legs as the base, the furnace cover is hollowed out, and two leaves are carved in the middle.

"What happened to the incense burner?"

Lin Jian also went over immediately, but after looking at it for a while, he didn't come to any other conclusions. It was just an ordinary incense burner, and there was a similar one in his own residence.

Su Mu didn't respond, but just stared quietly, and Lin Jian opened his eyes wide to see.

In the next moment, Su Mu lifted the furnace cover and knocked it on the desk, making a loud noise.

There was a layer of iron nets inside, and there were burnt charcoal ash and unknown fragrant wood residues, and Lin Jian coughed from choking.

However, he just covered his mouth and continued to stare. Su Mu poked around in the ashes, and finally a small wooden stick rolled down from it.

"This..." Lin Jian stretched out his hand to dial, but stopped halfway, "That... Maybe it's a coincidence, Brother Chenghong, you always had pine incense at home, so Cousin Lian also used it, it's not Something strange."

Having said that, after Lin Jian stammered, her eyes drifted uncontrollably.It's not that he was thinking too much, but the thing that rolled out is really similar to the one found at the fire scene. It is also a pine wood strip. I don't know how long it has been thrown in this furnace. In short, there are some burnt marks on the edges.At this time, it is mixed with spices and ashes, and there is a strange smell spreading.

Su Mu looked a little at a loss. In short, Lin Jian had never seen this expression before, "I just smelled familiar, so I came here to take a look, who knows..."

"Maybe it's just a coincidence. Let's look elsewhere." Lin Jian forced a smile, and reached out to pull the other party's sleeve.

At this time, there was a "wow" from behind.

"Brother, sister-in-law, why are you here?" Su Lian was stunned for a moment, then hurried inside.

The room was not much different from before he left in the morning, except that the incense burner was scattered, and there were some dusty things beside it.Su Mu and Lin Jian stood in front of the desk, their expressions were a little stiff.

"That...we..." Lin Jian scratched her head and went to look at Su Mu again. At this moment, he couldn't deliberately maintain the appearance of his sister, and all his thoughts were planned to deal with the current situation first.

"Is there something wrong with Cousin Lian?" Lin Jian finally choked out this sentence.

"Take the punishment left by the second uncle, I forgot it here." Su Lian pursed his lips and didn't say much, just bent down to search.A dozen or so pieces of paper were placed under the table, Su Lian took the things and went out, and stopped at the door, "It's important to find Xiuyuan and the others, brother, you don't have to avoid me when you do things."

"Cousin, you..." Lin Jian hurriedly took a few steps, trying to pull Su Lian back, but she held back.

This feeling of being exposed face to face really made the whole face burn.

"Where were you the day the fire house flooded?"

Lin Jian was suffering from a headache when a voice came from behind him.

He looked back and found that Su Mu was still standing there with a cold look on his face.

"What's in the water?"

Su Lian was taken aback for a moment, but he closed the door immediately. Lin Jian felt that the room was getting darker.

Judging by the other person's expression, maybe he really doesn't know?But that team of soldiers ran back and forth at both ends, logically speaking Su Lian should not have heard anything.

Lin Jian looked over there and found that Su Mu had already walked towards this side. The tension between the two brothers instantly became so tense that Lin Jian didn't hear what they were saying in the first few sentences.

Anyway, when he came back to his senses, he saw Su Lian take a small step back.

"Brother, you mean that I was the only one who went out of the academy on the day of the flood, so I'm the biggest suspect?"

"Second Uncle said that he asked you to go down the mountain to bring back the books, and that's why you went down the mountain smoothly. I asked the soldiers guarding the gate yesterday. During this time, you were indeed the only one going down the mountain."

Su Mu's voice was not high, but Su Lian's round face immediately tensed up.

"What about the soldiers? Didn't they go in and out with you? Aren't they moving more freely than me?"

"Look at this first."

After Su Mu said this, he walked out. Su Lian stared out the window and wondered what he was thinking. Lin Jian hadn't recovered from the tense atmosphere. He wanted to say something soothing, but he didn't know how to say it.

Their residences were extremely close, and they rushed back almost instantly.As soon as Su Mu closed the door, he passed the cloth strip over, and Lin Jian took a quick look at it and passed it over with the knot of pine wood.

"Traces of using pine to support the fire were found on the fire site, and in the pine forest, around the mountain pine that was cut in half, broken cloth strips were found, which are part of the hospital uniform, most likely sleeves. Now it is in your room again. Unburned pine wood was found in the incense burner, so when did you follow me and have the habit of burning this kind of incense?"

Su Mu's face was also tense, and Lin Jian even felt that he was more serious now than when he questioned Huairen and the others as soon as he came up.

"You..." However, Lin Jian only pouted, not knowing what else to say next.

Su Lian's eyes were wide open, as if he had suffered some great grievance, "Sleeves, just let me show you."

He immediately raised his arms, and couldn't help turning left and right. The next moment, he stopped, as if he was frozen in place.

"How...how is this possible? I wear it every day, so I didn't notice it once?"

Su Lian continued to flip up and down, but Lin Jian was able to see clearly that there was indeed a gap on his right sleeve, and it roughly matched the missing cloth strip.

"Ah Lian." Su Mu waved.

Su Liandun stayed where he was, obstinately not moving at all.

Lin Jian looked at this and then that, and for the first time hated her lack of words.

"I'll go to my second uncle and ask whether I asked Ying to go or he entrusted me to go."

After finishing speaking, Su Lian ran out the door, and the wooden door was slammed loudly.

"Probably just a coincidence."

"Cousin Lian feels that he has been wronged innocently, that's why he is like this. Don't argue with him."

Lin Jian searched her brain for a long time, and only came up with these few words.He remembered that every time he made sister angry, his mother would always go to lobby for him, probably with similar words.

"I know, Jane, go back and rest."

Su Mu raised his chin and pointed to the door. Although his voice was gentle, he always heard that he could not refuse.

no!Given the current state of affairs, it is impossible to predict what will happen next.

Lin Jian shook her head directly, "No, I want to stay here."
