Daily life in Kaifeng dormitory

"But what?" Ni Yexin asked.

Miss Yang didn't go any further when she said this, her whole body trembled even more, as if she was very frightened.

Murong Changqing became a little impatient, and said, "What's going on?"

Ni Yexin said: "Actually, it's easy to guess."

Murong looked sideways at him affectionately, and then Ni Yexin said, "I guess it's about the snake pattern."

Hearing the snake pattern totem, Miss Yang trembled again. It seems that Ni Yexin guessed it right.

Ni Yexin said: "I have been thinking about what the snake pattern represents? Why did it appear suddenly? The reason why I have been unable to figure it out is because if the kidnapping of Mr. Zhu was made up by Ms. Yang, then the snake pattern totem What's going on. But now I feel that Miss Yang doesn't know what the snake pattern is?"

"I really don't know!" Miss Yang suddenly raised her head and said, "I really don't know what it is... My husband fell off the cliff and died. Letter, and then raised money to pretend to redeem the man. In this way, even if the money is given, my husband still hasn’t come back, and no one will suspect anything. But...but who knows..."

However, no one thought that the matter was almost over, but one night, Miss Yang heard something outside, she had a ghost in her heart, went out to check, and saw the bloody snake pattern on the courtyard wall .

Miss Yang's teeth were chattering almost non-stop, recalling the situation at that time, she shuddered, and said: "I saw that the blood hadn't dried up, I could smell blood, and then...then I saw , there is a figure standing under that strange totem."

"Is there someone?" Murong Changqing was a little surprised.

Murong Changqing was most concerned about the snake pattern totem. When Miss Yang said this, he cheered up.

Miss Yang nodded and said, "Yes, a man. I was too scared at the time, so I didn't dare to get too close. I didn't see what he looked like. But he talked to me, and he said...he said , Said she saw me kill! He saw me kill!"

Miss Yang raised her voice a little, trembling with fear, and said: "I was terrified. I said he was talking nonsense, but he was laughing there. I was so scared at the time, I didn't expect...he actually saw me Killed..."

Miss Yang started to cry again. The man threatened her that after a few days, he would come to get something. If he got something like that, he would not tell others about Miss Yang’s murder. If he didn’t get it ...

Miss Yang was very scared and said, "I don't have what he wants! I really don't have it. I don't know what he wants. I can't give it to him at all."

Murong asked affectionately: "What does he want?"

Miss Yang said: "A...a dagger, it is said to be a dagger with a snake pattern engraved on it!"

Serpentine Dagger!

Ni Yexin and Murong Changqing immediately looked at each other, and the man wanted a snake pattern dagger.

The snake pattern dagger was originally in the Yang family's longevity storehouse, but it was indeed in the Yang family.However, Mr. Zhu stole it himself, and the snake-patterned dagger was among the lost items, and it had long since disappeared. Miss Yang obviously didn't know about the snake-patterned dagger.

Ni Yexin was silent for a while, and said: "Is the time he set tonight. Is that man coming again tonight?"

Miss Yang was taken aback for a moment, then nodded, seeing that Ni Yexin did not speak, but her eyes were full of doubts, as if she was surprised why Ni Yexin knew.

Murong Changqing asked: "How do you know?"

Ni Yexin said: "Isn't this obvious? I just said that although Mr. Yang is a fifth-rank official and has already resigned, he obviously doesn't take me seriously. Mr. Yang hurriedly packed up his belongings. Taking Miss Yang away is definitely not as simple as avoiding us. There is definitely a reason for him to escape here, there is a reason that makes him really afraid. "

Murong Changqing suddenly realized, and said: "Old Yang really knows about this snake pattern totem."

Ni Yexin tried to keep her tone as friendly as possible, and asked, "Ma'am, what else do you know about this totem?"

"I really don't know, I don't know anything. This is the first time I saw this totem..." Miss Yang said: "That day, my father also saw this blood totem, and his expression became very shocked when he saw it. , but he won't say anything. I don't know what's wrong with him, he seems to be getting worse, looks panicked and...painful...but he won't tell me."

Ni Yexin said: "Then, may I ask Madam, what is the height of the man who appeared with the totem that night? What is his figure? How about his voice?"

Miss Yang thought about it carefully, and said, "It's not too tall, it's not strong, and the voice...is very gentle, but it makes me shudder."

They don't know who the person who drew the snake pattern totem is, but the case of Mr. Zhu is very clear.

As for why Miss Hua had Miss Yang's jewelry on her body when she died, in fact, it was indeed given to Miss Hua by Miss Yang, and she personally sent it there.

Miss Yang didn't like Miss Hua before, and even hated her very much.However, when she knew what kind of person her husband was, she suddenly felt a little sympathetic to that Chinese girl.They may have had the same experience, they were all deceived by a man who started talking sweetly when he met them, but once he got it, he started to abandon it like nothing.

Miss Yang picked up some of her jewelry, took the opportunity to go to the bank to raise money, and gave it to Miss Hua, hoping that she could leave here and start a new life as soon as possible.

Ni Yexin asked Chi Long and Zhao Yin to find the people in the yamen, and the police went to the temple that Miss Yang mentioned, first to find Mr. Zhu's friend who was hiding in the temple, and then began to search under the cliff of the temple overnight Get up, hoping to find Mr. Zhu's body as soon as possible.

Elder Yang and Young Lady Yang followed the officials back to the yamen, Ni Yexin and Murong Changqing stayed at Yang's house, it was already midnight.

The Yang family was very quiet and seemed empty.

Ni Yexin was sitting in the room, which belonged to Miss Yang. He sat in front of a round table, poured himself a cup of tea, took a sip, and said, "Tell me, is Miss Yang a little pitiful? People are not nice."

The candlelight flickered in the room, and Ni Yexin was alone at the table, as if he was talking to himself, and no one answered him.

Ni Yexin said again: "Tell me, does Miss Yang have bad eyesight? How could she fall in love with such a man?"

After Ni Yexin finished speaking, the room became quiet again.

But after being quiet for a long time, Ni Yexin continued to talk: "I don't know if Detective Wang and they have found Mr. Zhu's body. If what Miss Yang said is the truth, if the body is found, the autopsy will prove it is true. Ms. Yang may also be regarded as manslaughter, or..."

"To shut up!"

Ni Ye was rambling on, when suddenly someone interrupted him.

Ni Yexin smiled and looked up, and saw that he was not alone in the room, Murong Changqing was leaning on the beam, and now he couldn't take it anymore, so he stopped him.

Murong Chang looked at him coldly, and said, "One more sound, and I'll cut off your tongue."

Ni Yexin stood up, walked under the beam, looked up at him, and said, "Come down, it's so uncomfortable to sit so high."

Murong Changqing frowned, Ni Yexin said again: "And that person probably won't come."

The two of them squatted in Yang's mansion tonight, just to wait for the man who drew the snake pattern totem to appear.However, most of the night had passed, and the Yang residence was still silent.

Murong Chang said affectionately: "No, wait until dawn."

Ni Yexin said: "Do you think he is a fool? There is such a big commotion in Yang's house, officials come in and out, and even take people away. He will definitely not show up."

"Hmph!" Murong Changqing sneered, and said, "What's the official post? If what I want is here, even if the emperor is here, I can come and go freely."

Ni Yexin suddenly raised his hand, jumped onto the beam, and squatted down next to Murong Changqing.

Murong Changqing obviously disliked him for pushing forward, and waved his hand to sweep him down.

Ni Yexin reacted quickly, grabbed his wrist with his backhand, and said: "Don't push, hero, if I fall, I will smash the ground into a hole, and everyone outside will definitely hear it. If that person happens to be there Nearby, isn't it going to scare away?"

When Ni Yexin said this, Murong Changqing paused, and Ni Yexin immediately sat next to him.This place is really narrow, two men squeezed together, shoulder to shoulder, had to shrink back.

Ni Yexin sat down, swayed her legs twice, and said, "Forget it, it's not bad for me to wait with you. It's time for two people. Look, there are still candles burning below, which is quite romantic."

"Shut up!" Murong Changqing said, "Do you have to let me cut off your tongue?"

Ni Yexin closed her mouth and shook her head, then whispered a little wronged: "I just think it's a bit embarrassing for us to sit together all the time without talking. Could it be that we have progressed to sitting together, even if we just say a quiet sentence?" Don't say anything, won't you feel embarrassed?"

Murong Changqing: "..."

It was very quiet at night, and there was no one there.Ni Yexin chattered for a while, Murong Changqing really had nothing to do with him, but Murong Changqing ignored him, and after a while, Ni Yexin fell asleep.

It is indeed difficult to sit on the beam and sleep. When Murong Changqing heard Ni Yexin's long breathing, he thought he had an auditory hallucination. When he looked sideways, he saw the drowsy Ni Yexin almost fell off the beam. .

Murong Changqing stretched out his hand and pulled Ni Yexin back who was about to fall.But Mr. Ni was so obedient, he tilted his body, leaned directly on Murong Changqing's shoulder, and found a good position to continue sleeping.

Murong Changqing felt his fists a little itchy, he had never been so close to anyone, except corn of course.

However, Hero Murong just thought about it for a while, and finally let Ni Yexin fall asleep leaning on his shoulder.Because Murong Changqing discovered that letting Ni Yexin sleep is much better than letting him chatter. If he wakes him up, I don't know what he will say again.

Ni Ye was a little sleepy, and investigating the case was a physical effort, so he fell asleep in a daze.

When he opened his eyes, he saw the hazy sunlight outside the window, and it was almost dawn.

Ni Yexin turned over and sat up immediately, only then realized that she was lying on the bed instead of sitting on the beam.

He was startled, he couldn't remember what was going on, and when he looked around, he had already returned to the yamen.

Ni Yexin immediately jumped out of bed, ran out of the room, and saw Chi Long who was practicing martial arts outside in the morning.

Ni Yexin immediately said: "Chi Long, why am I back?"

"Master Ni, you got up really early." Chi Long said: "You were brought back yesterday by Hero Murong. We thought Master Ni was injured, and we were shocked. It turned out that he just fell asleep."

"Ah?" Ni Ye was a little confused, and said, "I was brought back by Murong Changqing?"

Chi Long nodded.

Ni Yexin suddenly got a little excited, and said, "How did you bring it back? Could it be the princess? Where is Hero Murong now?"

Chi Long scratched the back of his head and said, "Ah? What is a princess hug?"

"It's just..." Ni Yexin was about to explain to him, but in a blink of an eye, he saw Murong Changqing.

Murong Changqing was not in his room, but sitting in front of the stone table in the yard, like a sculpture, not knowing what he was doing.

Chi Long said in a low voice: "Master Murong came back last night with Master Ni in his arms, and then sat there all the time, not knowing what he was doing? Master Ni, did you quarrel with Master Murong?"

Ni Yexin was also puzzled, waved her hand, and walked over.

Murong Changqing sat in front of the stone table, with his back turned, so he couldn't see clearly what he was doing.Ni Yexin poked his head curiously, and suddenly heard a "hiss—" corn rushed out, almost bumping noses with Ni Yexin.

Ni Yexin was so frightened that she almost sat on the ground and said, "Hero Murong! You wouldn't just sit here and play with corn all night! You're really in a good mood."

Only then did Murong Changqing look back at him, with the eyes of an idiot.

Ni Yexin avoids the corn, turns around half a circle, and sits next to Murong Changqing, only then can he see clearly that Murong Changqing is not playing with the corn, he is looking at the things in his hands.

Murong Changqing held a snake pattern dagger in his hand and was looking at it carefully.

Ni Yexin said: "Why are you looking at your master's dagger..."

Ni Ye was so thoughtful, he suddenly froze, he thought that the dagger in Murong Changqing's hand was the one of his master, but he didn't expect it to be.

This dagger looks even older, the blade is rolled up in some places, and finally, there is an old leather cover next to it. The shopkeeper of the Changsheng Library once said that it is regularly wrapped with the worn leather used for the dagger.
