Seventeen days in the capital

Although the surface is dimly lit, everything is neatly placed.So the three searched for clues in the room.

Rukawa came to Itakura's copywriter, picked up the book on the table and flipped through it. It turned out that it was a book of reading experience. Itakura wrote in the reading notes: Yes on the second day of September, satisfied on the third day of September , I was satisfied on the fourth day of September, but I didn’t write on the page on the fifth day of September, and the following pages were blank.Rukawa fell into deep thought. Itakura never liked to communicate with other people. He was silent, but studied very hard. The fifth day of September was the day before the exam. What happened that day made such a hard-working person change his life? Reading habits?

Rukawa was contemplating, when Mitsui's voice suddenly sounded next to him: "Look, isn't this the poem by Xiangyang Gate?" Saying that, Mitsui handed the paper in his hand to Rukawa.

Mumu and Rukawa looked at it carefully, and it was really good. It was indeed the love poem engraved on the stone tablet beside the Xiangyang Gate. Before the two could figure out what was going on, they only heard Mitsui say: "This Itakura is possessed by a demon." Ah, why copy this?"

"Come on, let's go to Qingtian's room." Rukawa said immediately.

So the three left Itakura's room and came to Kiyota's room.Because of Kiyota's bizarre death, this room still maintains its original appearance.

Mu Mu came to the copywriter and picked up the book on the table, when an envelope slipped from the book.Rukawa picked it up easily, and then took out the letter inside.At first glance, it seems that there is nothing wrong with the letter from the family, but Qingtian wrote in the letter to let his parents rest assured to wait for him to go to high school, as if he would definitely go to high school.However, these did not make Rukawa feel strange, because Kiyota is a very conceited person, but what makes Rukawa feel strange is that the date of signing the letter is also the fifth day of September. Rukawa can't help but recall the night before the exam, that In the evening, Itakura placed a big bet on buying his own high school, while Kiyota was drunk outside. Now that I think about it carefully, all these unusual phenomena must have some reason, that is, what happened on the fifth day of September thing?

"Hey, the letter hasn't been sent yet, and the person is gone. Things in this world are really unpredictable." Mu Mu said with emotion.

At this time, Mitsui's voice sounded next to him. It turned out that at the head of the bed where Kiyota slept, he found the mysterious poem again.

From this point of view, the day Itakura stopped reading and Kiyota wrote the letter home were the same day, and the poem on the stone tablet appeared in the room of the two of them at the same time, these two suspicious points cannot be just a coincidence.

After surveying the rooms of the two deceased, the three of them came to the main hall for dinner.

Mu Mu said: "The whole case is getting more and more complicated and confusing, as if it really has something to do with the beautiful boy."

"Yes, and algae from the Jinshui River were found beside the two corpses, could it be..." Rukawa said, but before he finished speaking, Mitsui interrupted: "Boss, why haven't you served the food yet, hurry up Serve the food, I'm starving." In this way, Mitsui bypassed the topic that made him restless.

Looking at him, Rukawa thought it was a bit funny, and thought to himself: the fearless Mitsui young man in the eyes of the world is actually a cowardly and face-saving person.

But at this time, it wasn't just Mitsui who was urging the boss to serve the food, the guests at the other tables also all urged the boss to serve the food quickly.When the boss was apologizing to other customers in a hurry, a familiar figure appeared at the door. It was Gong Yiyifan who came, and he walked into the store slowly, without the diligence of the past.

"Gong Yi, where did you die, you don't see anyone all day long, you're so lazy, don't you want to do it anymore?" The boss scolded loudly.

I only heard Gong Yi say confidently: "You are right, I will quit."

"Quit? Then what will you eat in the future?"

"Eating everything means not losing money. Let me tell you, a distant relative of mine died recently and left me a lot of money, so I will stop doing it from today on."

"What did you say!? Didn't you tell me that you were the only one left in your Gong Yi family?"

"You don't care about me, anyway, I'm quitting, you quickly calculate the wages for me, and I'm leaving."

After the two talked like this for a while, Gong Yi pushed the boss away from the sight of Rukawa and the three of them, only to hear Rukawa sneer, and said: "The fate of life is really intriguing. Some people die overnight, and some get rich overnight." After saying this, I heard a shrill cry for help from behind the inn.

Almost all the guests in the inn who heard the cry for help left their seats and followed the sound line to the Jinshui River.

Rukawa was walking on the bank of the river, looking around, suddenly, a pair of hands stretched out from the river and grabbed his ankle ring, Rukawa was unsteady and fell to the ground, the people in the water climbed up to the bank, Mitsui saw this Immediately, he stepped forward and grabbed the man's skirt. After a closer look, he found that it was an earthen house.

Tsuchiya's complexion was pale, lying on the ground, muttering, "Don't kill me, don't kill me."

"Tsuchiya, don't be afraid, we are here." Rukawa stepped forward and said to him.

But he still seemed to be very frightened, his body was trembling, his trembling hands held Rukawa's arm tightly, and he kept saying, "It's not a person, it's not a person. When I was walking by the river just now, there was a white shadow Drag me into the water, keep going down, keep pulling down, I am very scared, I thought I was going to die, when you came, that white shadow let go, it was too scary, too scary..."

In this way, the three of Rukawa sent the Tsuchiya back to the inn, but after this incident, the rumor of the beautiful boy's ghost killing him was spread even more, and people around were talking about it for a while.

Mitsui felt a chill down his spine when he heard it, and whispered in Rukawa's ear, "Feng'er, let's live in another place, shall we?"

"What are you afraid of? How can there be any ghosts?" Rukawa replied without changing his expression.

Seeing that he was so persistent, Mitsui sighed and said, "But Tsuchiya said he saw it?"

The two were talking, when a few officers and soldiers walked in the door. The man in the head looked young, but his face was very handsome. He was dressed in white and held a sword in his hand. He said loudly: "Excuse me, who is Rukawa Feng, Mr. Rukawa?"

"Next is, may I ask..." Ruchuan just wanted to ask, but he didn't expect the man to speak immediately: "My master would like to invite Mr. Ruchuan to come over to see him."

"Who is the master of your mansion?"

"It's inconvenient to say my master's name here, Mr. Rukawa will know when he goes." The man said plausibly, not allowing Rukawa to say nothing.

Seeing this, Mitsui took a step forward to block Rukawa, and said to the man, "I'll go with him."

"Sorry, my master only invited Mr. Rukawa," the man said.

Seeing this situation, he couldn't allow Rukawa not to go, so Mu Mu said to Rukawa from the side: "Rukawa, I'm afraid there may be fraud."

Rukawa nodded slightly, and then said to the man, "Xianfan leads the way." Just like that, Rukawa followed the group of people out of the inn.

The man led Ruchuan to the palace with seven turns and eight turns. At this time, Ruchuan was at the Baihutang where the emperor met with the Minister of Gyeonggi.

Zebei Zhezhi had seen Rukawa in Shanghe Castle before, so he recognized him. He saw him walking in accompanied by a man, so he asked, "Mito-sama, the emperor asked us to discuss matters, why did you bring him here?"

It turned out that the man who brought Rukawa in was Mito Yohei, the imperial bodyguard next to the current emperor.

"I don't know about the humble position." Mito said modestly.

After Zebei Tetsushi heard this, an intriguing smile appeared on the corner of his mouth. He knew Mito Yohei well. Although Mito had a gentle temperament, he was loyal to the emperor and would go through fire and water without hesitation.I tried to win him over several times, but to no avail.So trying to find out what the emperor thinks from Mito's mouth is as difficult as climbing the sky.

Rukawa glanced roughly at the ministers present, and finally landed on Xiandao. He did not expect that he would be in the same room with these important ministers, but what he did not expect was that the one who invited him The "master" is actually the current emperor, but why does the emperor want to see him? Does the emperor really know him?Rukawa was puzzled.

With the eunuch's cry: "The emperor is here!" Rukawa was pulled out of his contemplation, and then he knelt down together with other ministers: "Long live my emperor, long live, long live."

"Free from courtesy and flatten your body," said the emperor.

Rukawa stood up, and only then did he look up to see the face of the emperor. It turned out that he was the "distressed scholar" that Rukawa met in front of the gallery that day.Now that he knows that he is the emperor, then Rukawa knows his name——Mu Shenyi.

Similarly, the moment Rukawa looked at Mu, Mu also cast his eyes on Rukawa, smiled at him, and then said to everyone: "I heard that two candidates died strangely. I am very concerned, I heard that Mr. Ruchuan is very talented and well-educated, so I called everyone here, hoping to hear his opinion."

As soon as the emperor's words fell, Zebei Zhezhi stood up, bowed and said: "Your Majesty, Baihutang is a place to discuss major national affairs. Minor matters should be handled by the prefect of Yingdu. Handling a small murder case in the White Tiger Hall may be ridiculed by the world."

Mu didn't dare to directly refute Zebei Zhezhi's opinion, so he asked insinuatingly, "What do you think?"

Helpless, most of the people above the imperial court are Zebei Zhezhi's henchmen,
