Kaifeng Cat and Mouse Detective Manuscript

The two islands stand side by side on the sea, one on the left and the other on the right. The seemingly heavy and strong chain is about ten meters away from the sea surface, and remains motionless in the wind.

"I heard that the island is weird. The one in the distance has a history of a hundred years in the records of the Qianxiang Tower, and the one below..." After getting off the boat, Shen Liren also noticed the suspension bridge, and deliberately folded the fan. Get up.

"How about this one under your feet?"

Ai Hu leaned over to ask, his eyes wide open.

"This one? It's only a few decades old. According to the records in the Miscellaneous Notes, it was suddenly formed overnight."

Shen Liren closed his fan, pinched Ai Hu's cheek, pointed to the bottom of his feet, and followed everyone, walking along.

"It doesn't look like this island, but most of the hearsay things are not accurate." Zhihua said in front of him.

The mountains and rocks on this island are tens of meters high, and it is impossible for them to appear in less than a few hundred years.

After a group of people got off the boat, the Dongying people led them away. They walked along the stones and loose sand, walked across a wooden bridge, and then they were hidden in the woods, occupying half of the island, like carved beams and painted buildings. the pavilion.

"The owner of this island is very rich,? It's just that the buildings don't seem to be owned by Japanese people."

Bai Yutang didn't follow the crowd directly after they entered the door. Instead, he dragged Zhan Zhao to slow down a few steps deliberately, and looked around carefully in the pavilion.

"The house as a whole has a grand momentum and a stretched shape. It doesn't look like my Song Dynasty, but it is a bit forward-looking."

Zhan Zhao was more than ten meters behind him and the Dongying people. When the group in front disappeared from the corner of the corridor, Bai Yutang went up to the wooden steps.

"I don't know how the Dongying people know. If there is an owner, what does this have to do with the Dongying people?"

The eaves of the corridor are covered with gray and white long linen cloth, which is separated from the outside scenery like a screen. The two of them are afraid that they will be suspicious if they don't pass for a long time. After looking around and seeing nothing different, they rush to the front hall.Fortunately, there were so many people today, after Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang arrived, no one noticed except Shen Liren and Ai Hu.

Bai Yutang saw that there were two vacant seats next to Ouyang Chun in the upper right corner of the hall, and guessed that they should be for him and Zhan Zhao.

"Huh? Where are those people?"

After sitting down, Bai Yutang suddenly realized that except for the guards standing beside him and a few of Aoki's subordinates, the rest of the Dongying people were gone.

"That Aoki had a weird face before we sat down, saying that something happened on the island, let the banquet come first, he came back later, and left with a bunch of people."

Shen Liren raised his hand to drink a cup of tea and replied, rubbing his chin and aiming at the guard standing with a knife in front.

Some people in this hall were excited and some were worried, Zhan Zhao, Ouyang Chun and others felt that this banquet might not be that simple.

I don't know what kind of incense was burned by the maid in the room. When the doors and windows were closed, the burning became stronger and stronger, and it smelled worse than rouge powder.Zhan Zhao leaned on the back of the chair, put his arms on the handles, covered his mouth and nose with the back of his hands and looked at the others.Sure enough, except for the Dongying people, most of them were stimulated by this smell.

"It's so smoky."

Bai Yutang slapped his face with his palm.It was okay at first, but after staying for a long time, I became a little irritable. The banquet had just started and it was difficult to make a move to leave directly. Finally, it has been about half an hour, judging by the weather outside, and the wine is almost drunk .

Bai Yutang prefers the simple and elegant fragrance, and made him stay here as if he was being tortured. Zhan Zhao poured him some tea, got up, picked up the glass and said to Aoki who was enjoying the singing and dancing in front of the right: "Your Excellency Aoki."

Aoki and his party returned shortly after the banquet started.

"Nanxia invites you."

Aoki also got up, and the two of them drank a glass of wine, Zhan Zhao continued: "Thanks to your hospitality tonight, Zhan Zhao shouldn't have said something at this time, but my friend is not very strong at drinking, he is already a little drunk, I'm afraid to continue drinking I will misunderstand tomorrow's meeting, so please resign first, and please forgive me." One sentence is justified and well-founded, and it is impossible to refuse.

"Hey, it was my mistake! Aoki was so happy to see all the famous heroes of the Song Dynasty today, he forgot the time! Hero Bai is in serious condition, do you need to invite the doctor over here?"

Aoki suddenly realized, and then got up and walked in front of Zhan Zhao. Bai Yutang was leaning on the chair, and when he heard Zhan Zhao's words, he closed his eyes and pretended to pass out.

"It's just drunk, it's late at night, don't bother the people in your house."

Zhan Zhaochao Qingmu refused, picked up Juque and Zhanlu under the wide-eyed eyes of Shen Liren and Zhihua, and happily helped Bai Yutang to leave the seat.

"Hey!"

Seeing that the two of them were about to go out, Shen Liren got up quickly, and after saying goodbye to Aoki, he took his fan before he could react, and he had already left his seat.

Ai Hu stared dumbfounded at the back of the door, moved his mouth a few times and wanted to leave with the power of drinking, but was stopped by Ouyang Chun.A few of them were guests, and the host's house hadn't finished yet, so it was a bit unreasonable for them to leave one by one, only blame that Zhan Zhao too fine, let me speak first.

"Etc., etc!"

After leaving the gate, Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang refused the maid to lead the way, and quickly walked around to the backyard. Shen Liren, who came out later behind him, caught up with a fan and slapped Bai Yutang on the shoulder.

There was a gust of sea breeze outside the house, and Shen Liren took a few breaths as if he had been reborn and complained: "This group of people burned something really bad, it's fucking dead."

"I think they have bad intentions. Tomorrow is the meeting, and tonight is full of wine and singing and dancing. Don't think that the master didn't see those young people's eyes. The fragrance is also a bit strange, it seems to add temptation Medicine, but the amount is very small." Bai Yutang lowered his head and sniffed at his cuff, and there was still a strong smell after taking it out for so long.

"Brother Ouyang and Master Zhi may have noticed it, but we have deceived them by coming out first. Huh? Why don't you see the boat that came over today?"

The three of them went all the way to the beach where they came during the day. Zhan Zhao looked at the pier but couldn't see the boats. It stands to reason that they would stay here for at most two or three days. These boats are owned by Dongying people, and the manpower and material resources needed to go back and forth are also large, so they shouldn't go first. Leave is.

"Could it be..." Shen Liren lifted his legs and collapsed onto the pier, the sea was covered with thick fog, and the town of Donghai could not be seen, and the two islands were isolated, "Could it be that they have intentions!"

Shen Liren put his fan on his palm and turned around abruptly.

"Neither the cat nor I know how to swim. Although Brother Ding and you are good swimmers, I guess...Brother Ouyang and the others don't know. If they really intend to trap us on the island, it would be a good idea."

Bai Yutang leaned on the railing and sat on it and chatted leisurely, completely ignoring the fact that he might be trapped on the island.

"This possibility is small, why trap us here? Catch them all? It won't work. If you don't do anything, then you shouldn't have invited us here in the first place, unless it was," Zhan Zhao folded his arms and faced the bright lights. , From time to time, laughter came from the attic.

"Could it be that there is something in the island that needs us?"

Bai Yutang answered, just as he was about to jump down from the railing, he saw a white shadow flashing by in the bushes not far away.

"Who's there!"

Without waiting for Zhan Zhao after speaking, Shen Liren replied, and jumped into the beach with long legs, using Qinggong to rush to the place where the white shadow disappeared just now.Zhan Zhao put all his strength on his toes, and followed Bai Yutang immediately after he went down.

It was dark in the bushes, Bai Yutang moved quickly, the white shadow was very conspicuous in it, Shen Liren stopped walking when he heard a woman's exclamation, and when he stood still, he found Bai Yutang and Zhan Zhao standing beside him, the white shadow woman Standing on the opposite side, he looked defensive towards the three of them.

"Where is this girl, sneaky?" Bai Yutang took a step forward, pulled out Zhanlu and pointed at her, with a bad look on his face.

"What's sneaking around? I'm just going out from here, and you can come here if anyone knows."

"Are you a woman coming out at such a late hour?"

Shen Liren didn't believe it either, he opened his fan in a "wow" and walked up to the woman, and sized her up.

"How about the woman, this is not your house, do you care when I come out? Three dignified men, it is reasonable to be rough on a woman."

The woman rolled her eyes, and stood directly in front of Bai Yutang's sword point, expecting that he would not make a real move.

"It's our fault. We shouldn't have shot at the girl. I hope she won't blame her." Zhan Zhao stepped forward to smooth things over, put Zhan Lu away from Bai Yutang's hand, and first admitted his mistake to the girl, and then saw her face improve. He added, "Young lady's appearance here at night is indeed misleading. We are warriors, so we must be more vigilant."

"Oh, you are interesting," the woman clapped her hands, picked up a bamboo basket from the ground and held it in her hands, and whispered, "It's a pity, a pity, disaster is imminent."

"A catastrophe is imminent?" the three of Zhan Zhao repeated at the same time.

Seeing that she was about to leave, Shen Liren immediately stepped forward with his right foot and stretched out his hand to stop him, "Madam, can you tell me what's wrong, who's going to kill me?"

"No, no, I'm talking too much. I forgot that there are Nan Xia and Bei Xia in your group, and there are tigers, mice, and foxes, and the landlord of Donghai is also there, and nothing will happen, so don't bother." Ask, I won’t say it anyway if you kill me.”

The woman shook her head, a bit like the previous words were said on purpose for the three of them to hear.

"Forget it, brother Shen, don't make things difficult for her."

Zhan Zhao looked at the woman for a while, thought about something, and asked Shen Liren to let her go.

"Hey, let me just say, you're still the most interesting person."

The woman smiled strangely, pushed Shen Liren's arm away, and ran out like a fox, walking along the beach to the opposite woods.

"Brother Shen," Bai Yutang moved from Zhan Zhao's side to Shen Liren's, turned his head and called out once in a century.

"What?" Shen Liren panicked a little, Bai Yutang always used his first and last name, except when he was a child, he never called him brother again.

"Come up."

Sure enough, nothing good happened.

"Don't look at me, I'm not suitable for cats." Bai Yutang blocked Shen Liren's weird eyes with his hands.

"That's all, Master Shen, I'll be too tired, and we'll meet up in front of the room tomorrow morning."

As soon as Shen Liren closed his fan, he stretched his legs to make Qinggong follow up, and Liu Zhan Zhaobai Yutang stood on the spot.

"Cat, what do you think the woman meant?" Bai Yutang asked, and when he stepped into the courtyard again, the banquet had already ended.

"When the water comes, the earth will cover it, and the soldiers will block it. By the way, tell Brother Ouyang tomorrow that they should be careful of stabbing people in the back."

"With that old fox Zhihua around, there's no need to worry about them, but those young people should be careful." Bai Yutang pushed open the door, and the two entered the same room.

................................................

Early in the morning of the second day, when Chen Shi had just arrived, Bai Yutang finished washing and saw the sound of people moving outside the courtyard, but there was no figure of Shen Liren who was in the same courtyard as the two of them and had made an appointment to meet this morning.Zhan Zhao went over and pushed the wooden door, but there was no answer inside. Shen Liren was not someone who could sleep peacefully after such a loud noise. Bai Yutang used his sword blade to insert/turn the door lock, only to find that there was no one there.

"I didn't come back last night." The two looked at the neatly made bed and said in unison.

"Where can he go if he's unfamiliar with this place?" Bai Yutang's tone became urgent.

"The bad thing is that you are not familiar with the place. I'm afraid that woman deliberately pretended to be a pig and eat a tiger last night."

Shen Liren's martial arts are not low, if he directly fights, no matter whether it is the Dongying people on the island or anyone else, I am afraid that they will not eat well.But last night, the woman came strangely, and she said something about the imminent disaster in front of them for no reason, I am afraid that some of the three of them will go there.

"No, I have to find him!"

Bai Yutang and Shen Liren had been friends since childhood, so they suddenly became anxious, and walked out the door after finishing speaking.

"I am with you."

The meeting is just this afternoon, and we don't know what the Dongying people will prepare for everyone.
