looking for sister

Lin Jian trembled with anger.

Xiang Ling had been out for a while, and his knuckles were still white, which was purely caused by the sudden grip earlier.

Su Mu sat on the side and didn't dare to provoke him, but his eyes could not stop wandering.

After a while, Lin Jian smiled, "What should I do, she is just like this, she can jump out of anything when she is slightly provoked."

"If you're not happy, tell me directly." Seeing him like this, Su Mu was a little surprised, and dared not move.

"No, I was a little agitated when I heard it at the very beginning. Now that I think about it, she was forced to a corner to say such vicious words. If I really remembered it, wouldn't it be a mistake? Fall into her trap."

His knuckles were sore, Lin Jian rubbed and moved slowly while talking, Su Mu just looked at him, it seemed a little different from usual.

"You must be afraid, Su Mu." Lin Jian put his elbows on the desk and tilted his head in this posture.

The pupils are big and bright, with confidence and slight provocation. Su Mu couldn't move his eyes away when he saw them so close.

"No." Su Mu lowered his head slightly, "It has become a habit to insist on one thing for several years without giving up. Now that we are all together, why should I be afraid?"

"How many years?" Lin Jian panicked, but she also chased after him, "What do you mean?"

Su Mu was stunned for a moment, talking about other things.But Lin Jian could see clearly that those ears, which were close at hand, were already flushed.

Later, when it was time to rest, neither of them tacitly mentioned the matter just now. Lin Jian rolled to Su Mu's side, and even arched evil-heartedly. Sure enough, he could feel the stiffness immediately.

Did Su Mu silently stand behind him long before he knew it?

It's a pity that the bed tent is so dark that I really can't see anything.Lin Jian stared at it for a while with wide eyes, and was taken back by Su Mu, "Go to sleep."

Xiangwu was gone, and Xiangling was not around, so the matter of finding another girl to serve in the East Courtyard was quickly brought up, at the morning dinner table a few days later.

"Mother, don't bother with these things, we can do it ourselves." Lin Jian secretly grabbed Su Mu and only choked out this sentence.Now he simply hated himself as the eldest sister, otherwise the excuse that the two big men don't need to take care of her would be handy.

Mrs. Su only thought that Lin Jian was still angry, and suddenly didn't know how to answer the words, and the atmosphere at the dinner table was a little awkward.

It was Su Mu who stepped forward, put a piece of pancake in the small plate of the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, and said, "It's really not necessary these days. I will be ordered to investigate the case immediately, and Lin Tian will go with me. You stay A person, often walking around, just pay attention to the movement."

Investigate?

Lin Jian was a little dazed.

The rest of the people at the dinner table stared at each other, not knowing why.

It was Madam Su who was a little faster and leaned forward, "Is it related to your brother?"

There is still no definite evidence for the Huofang case, and it cannot be directly linked to the Xiuyuan case.The previous accumulated case could not be resolved, and there was a new problem. Su Mu had a headache, but he could only say that the matter was of great importance and he had no comment.

And because it was at the dinner table, he hurriedly added, "I just received the official document, and I have to leave after I tidy up."

Water bladders, a change of clothes, seals, and some dark herbal medicine packets.

At first glance, it looks light and simple.

Lin Jian circled around the desk case, and finally squeezed her chin, "I was stopped when I went back to the academy, why did you take me instead this time? Isn't it a very easy case, so can we still make a detour along the way? "

However, the next moment he did not have such a relaxed posture. "Tuntian? Are we going to sister's place this time?"

"Yes, and there are no guards or entourage, only us." Su Mu packed his things one by one, raised his head again, and looked at him seriously, "If you want to stay at home, you don't have to go with me, it's just a letter It won’t be very convenient for you to come and go.”

"If you want to see me every day, you can just say it straight, you don't have to beat around the bush like this."

Lin Jian's face was a little hot, but the words came out.Speaking of which, the two of them really just recognized each other and agreed with each other, but too many things happened in a series, which on the contrary diluted the experience.

Su Mu just laughed, his eyes narrowed. As Lin Jian said, he was indeed dissatisfied with leaving him at home, and it was not a good feeling not to see him in two places. The key is... Lin Jian also came from a clean and noble family, and he always wants to go out to make a fortune, but stay at home all the time, what's the matter?

In short, all kinds of reasons were piled up, and this is the final result. However, when he spoke, Su Mu still showed a bit of reserve, "Actually, the main reason is that your eldest sister is involved, so I decided to invite you to go with me."

"Yeah, I know." Lin Jian nodded, "What else? How long has it been since I handed in the paperwork? Didn't you reply until now?"

"Over there is no better than at home, and this investigation is confidential, we have to be careful."

"Yes, Master Su." Lin Jian immediately stood up straight.

Su Mu couldn't hold back any longer and laughed out loud, "It's as insane as it is now, and it needs to be punished."

No matter how much the bickering between the two pushes the atmosphere to a relaxed state, no one can change the fact that they have to explore unknown dangers.In order to avoid further trouble at home, the two directly chose to come out through the back door.

There are not many roads to choose from from the city to Tuntian.Fortunately, Tuntian was originally on the lower reaches of the Li River, so if you took a boat, it would be the fastest, and it would not be too ostentatious.

After a brief discussion, the two walked straight to the river. The familiar scenery changed, which made Lin Jian feel a little unspeakable.The last time they came here was when the Huofang case hit a wall, and now they were about to wade out again, but it was still full of fog.

"It would be better to take a boat and blow some air." Su Mu naturally noticed Lin Jian's situation. Normally, the other party would not be so silent.Today's appearance made him feel a little uncomfortable.

"Look, we're almost there." Su Mutuo pointed at Lin Jian's arm. They had walked for nearly an hour, and now they could just see the gray-yellow withered grass beside the water.

Lin Jian was helpless, but also looked in the direction between her fingers. This time, it was not the water surface, but a few faint black spots, heading here, on the shore, upstream.

The winter solstice has passed, and at this season, one can see how inaccessible it is from a glance around the body. The two of them are already in special circumstances.Lin Jian became interested and quickly poked her head out to have a look.

After a while, the black shadow became clearer and clearer. Four or five figures were running in unison, looking extremely embarrassed.

With the wind in winter and the withered grass rising, there is a bit of chilling meaning.

If it was usual, Lin Jian would have rushed up to see what happened, but now there is a string in her head, so she naturally planned to look first before talking, and then ask Su Mu what he meant.

But it was just a blink of an eye, and when I looked back, those people had already disappeared.

"You've performed well, and you've become more stable." Su Mu teased him, making Lin Jian furious.However, he himself couldn't take his gaze away. Is it a coincidence that the direction of farming is right there?

The old man on the boat is still there.

Except for the thicker coir raincoat on her body, there is not much difference from the last time I saw her.

It's just that the wind on the river is stronger, so Lin Jian consciously hides in the shed.

The destination is clear but the future is uncertain, Lin Jian sat in the corner, staring at the speeding scenery outside, without saying a word for a long time.When he came back to his senses, he found that Su Mu was holding his hand.

"Is it uncomfortable?"

The cabin was a little dark, but the pair of eyes facing it were bright and distinct.Lin Jian slowly lowered her head, and stabbed him on his knee, "I thought that this first time going out to investigate a case and committing a crime alone would make people feel excited, but now, I feel my heart is also floating along with it." , can’t be settled anyway.”

"When I first took office, I was brought by Mr. Wang, who has returned to his hometown. At that time, I had more time to follow behind him, sorting out files or writing some documents, thinking that handling cases was as simple as that. That's all. Later he told me to go out to handle the case, and it was in a small town near Fangzhou. The case was not troublesome, and the sir also sent me an entourage. But when I went, I didn't know how to investigate it. Fortunately, it was just For ordinary disputes, there will be no irreversible consequences if the time is delayed, and finally the investigation starts from the beginning, and it took a while before the case was finally closed."

"Later when I went back to Dali Temple, I felt ashamed, and I didn't have the high morale I had before I left. Mr. Wang didn't blame me. He just told me calmly that it was always like this the first time, as long as we pay attention not to make the same mistakes in the future. That's the mistake."

"So, every time you encounter a case, will you list all the clues on paper?" Lin Jian raised his head, and from this angle, he could just see half of Su Mu's chin.

"Ah."

"Then are you afraid?" Lin Jian asked again.

Su Mu just nodded, but Lin Jian already knew the answer the moment he asked the question. Since the disappearance of Xiuyuan and his sister, there have been waves of ups and downs, and the fog is thick. I don't know how much I got involved.

But now, it is even more involved in the Tuntian case that affects the whole body.

Su Mu just didn't say anything, not because he wasn't afraid.

"Sure enough, the things we have to solve have to be faced by ourselves." Lin Jianyan came to the conclusion and couldn't wait to go to the front to blow the wind, but was caught by Su Mu quickly, "Don't be afraid , I’m here, and I’m here with you.”

Later, the speed of the boat slowed down a little, and I could feel it even when I was sitting in the shed.As soon as the two of them poked their heads out, they saw that the boat had already docked. There was a wide and flat stone in front of the bow, as long as they stepped on it, it was a safe place.

"Be careful, step here." Lin Jian was escorted to step on it first, and she turned her head and extended a hand to Su Mu, but at this moment, she heard a loud shout, and then, the originally calm water splashed up. Several layers of waves.

Accompanied by the waves, what rushed out were a few gleaming long knives.

Lin Jian could see clearly that there was a long knife behind Su Mu's back.
