In the first painting, Xiao Jue was leaning against a tree with a contented expression, and Wang Ziyu was kneeling in front of him, with her entire face buried between his legs.

In the second painting, Yan Jun is sitting in Xiao Jue's arms. A qin is placed in front of them. Yan Jun's hands are on the strings, while Xiao Jue's hands are clasping his waist from behind. The clothes are in good condition, but the belt is disbanded. It can be imagined that the place covered by the qin is obviously a beautiful spring.

The third painting is the most explicit. Kong Hansong is half-undressed, lying on his back on the grass, his eyes are half-closed, his mouth is slightly open, and his face looks pained and happy.Xiao Jue knelt on top of him. The clothes on his upper body were taken off, revealing his bare back. The tight lines and strong muscles on his back were full of majestic strength.

It may be that Li Xian liked this painting so much that he even colored it. Shizi's bronzed back contrasted sharply with Kong Hansong's fair complexion, which had a particularly visual impact.

"Are these drawn by Li Xian?" Duan Mingchen asked.

Gu Huaiqing hummed: "Li Xian admitted that he saw these scenes with his own eyes, otherwise it would be difficult to paint so realistically. In this academy, no matter the teacher or the classmate, they don't want to offend Xiao Jue because of his identity. Or think that this kind of flirtatious thing is harmless, so let him do whatever he wants. Xiao Shizi is flirtatious, merciless, and acts boldly. Presumably he didn't do this kind of thing once or twice, and Li Xian is a wretched person. Hiding in the dark and peeping, and portraying the picture of him having a good time with his lover.

Brother, look at the third painting, which is the scene of love between Xiao Jue and Kong Hansong, but what I can't figure out is, since Xiao Jue doesn't deny his flirtatiousness, why doesn't he admit his relationship with Kong Hansong? Is it because he is afraid of Kong Hansong? he?This point is really puzzling. "

Duan Mingchen frowned and said, "However, Xiao Jue had solid alibi for both cases. When Wang Ziyu was killed, Yan Jun was ill, and Xiao Jue stayed with him all night. My cousin Fang Jia's testimony is still You can believe it; and Yan Jun died last night, Xiao Jue is far away in the palace, unless he has the clone technique, there is absolutely no way he can run back to the academy and kill Yan Jun."

Gu Huaiqing said: "Even if he didn't do it himself, it is possible that he ordered others to do it."

"But what is Xiao Jue's motive for committing the crime? I don't see any benefit to killing Wang Ziyu and Yan Jun, unless he is a twisted monster who takes pleasure in killing his lover. Jin Yiwei's files are all about the clan's children. There are detailed records, and the information shows that Xiao Jue is mentally normal, although he is a bit romantic, he has no violent and evil hobbies, and has never had a criminal record."

"Hmm... that's really weird..." Gu Huaiqing frowned, feeling a cloud of doubts in his heart.

Just when the two were confused, a Jin Yiwei came over and knocked on the door: "Master Duan, Lord Gu, the head of the mountain invites the two of you to have dinner at Deshan Fang in Yuewei House."

After working for a long time, Gu Huai was very hungry early in the morning. As soon as he heard that there was food, he immediately broke free from Duan Mingchen's arms, stood up and said, "Okay, tell the head of the mountain, we will go right away."

When Duan Mingchen and Gu Huaiqing arrived at Deshanfang, everyone sat around the long table, obviously waiting for a long time.

Duan Mingchen glanced, besides Shan Chang Bingxin, there were Yuan Supervisor Li Li, House Supervisor Lin Qiu, Master Guan, Master Liu, Master Zhang, Master Qin, Master Li, and only Old Master Kong was not there.Everyone's faces were solemn, without a smile.

Xiao Jue was also invited.Although there is still sadness in his eyes, his expression has returned to calm. He is dressed in a white deep coat and a white jade crown, making his whole body more handsome and unrestrained. Sitting there casually, he looks noble and compelling .

"Sorry, we're late and kept everyone waiting." Duan Mingchen apologized shyly.

Bing Xin said politely: "What did Master Duan say? The adults have worked hard to investigate the case, but we, as landlords, can't help us. We are really ashamed. We can only prepare some rough tea and light food, and I hope the two adults Don't be disgusted."

"Don't dare, the head of the mountain is bothering you."

Duan Mingchen and Bing Xin were still exchanging polite greetings, but Gu Huaiqing was a little impatient. He couldn't bear to be hungry, and he would feel bad when he was hungry. Now he was looking at a table full of beautiful dishes, but he couldn't sit down and eat right away, not to mention how bad it was upset.

Gu Huaiqing sat down first, and impatiently tugged at Duan Mingchen's sleeves: "Oh, you two, don't be too polite, you have enough to eat, it's important to work!"

Bing Xin smiled and said: "Exactly, they are all our own people, you don't have to be polite, let's start!"

Everyone picked up their chopsticks and began to eat. All of them are well-cultivated scholar-bureaucrats. A gentleman pays attention to not talking when eating or sleeping. Everyone eats quietly, chews slowly, does not make any noise, and does not interact with each other. chat.

While eating the rice in the bowl, Duan Mingchen watched Gu Huaiqing out of the corner of his eye.

Gu Huaiqing grew up in a deep palace since he was a child, and his dining posture is more elegant than ordinary people, but his eating speed is equally astonishing, and a bowl of rice is quickly eaten.It's a pity that the meals in the academy are mainly vegetarian dishes. Although they are exquisitely prepared, Gu Huaiqing is a master who loves meat, and Duan Mingchen can see that he is not very satisfied.

"When the case is solved, my brother invites you to Cyclamen to have a good meal."

Gu Huaiqing looked up in surprise, only to realize that Duan Mingchen was whispering to him through voice transmission.

Gu Huaiqing also used voice transmission to reply: "Xiankelai is nothing more than another dish, that is, the emerald eight-treasure duck. Although half a duck costs 20 taels of silver, it is indeed a must. eat."

Gu Huaiqing only ate it once, the duck meat was indescribably tender, he wished he could chew the bones and swallow it, Gu Huaiqing recalled the deliciousness, couldn't help squinting his eyes and smacking his lips.

The appearance of Gu Huaiqing being seduced by delicious food was so funny, Duan Mingchen couldn't help but put his hand under the table, secretly held Gu Huaiqing's hand, and said with a doting smile: "Brother treat, you can order whatever you want. "

When the meal was almost finished, Bing Xin got up on her own initiative, poured a glass of wine for Duan Mingchen and Gu Huaiqing each, and asked, "The two adults searched around, do you know if there is any progress?"

Everyone raised their faces when they heard the words, and looked at Duan Mingchen and Gu Huaiqing expectantly. The two murders occurred in a row, which made everyone feel uneasy and hoped that the murderer would be found as soon as possible.

Duan Mingchen just said indifferently: "It's still under investigation."

There was a hint of disappointment in everyone's hearts, but Bing Xin still politely said to Duan Mingchen: "If there is any need for assistance, please let us know."

Just as he was talking, there was a sound of footsteps in the corridor. Duan Mingchen and Gu Huaiqing were both masters, and it was immediately recognized that there were two people, one old and one young, without martial arts.

"Father, father, walk slowly and be careful!" The voice was very familiar, it was Kong Hansong.

"The mountain... the mountain is long, no... it's not good..." Old Master Kong was out of breath, holding the door of the restaurant, and said out of breath.

Bing Xin was almost mentally broken by the successive murders. Seeing Master Kong running over in a panic, her heart beat faster, she almost jumped up from the chair, and said sharply, "What happened again?"

"Yes...it's Tianyi Pavilion..." Old Master Kong gasped, and with Kong Hansong's support, he strode across the threshold with great effort.

"What's wrong with Tianyi Pavilion?" Li Li, the hospital supervisor, was impatient, and he wanted to grab old man Kong's white beard. How could he say something like this and keep half of it? He was so anxious to death!

It was Master Liu who was more careful, so he gave the stool to Confucius and poured him a glass of warm water.

Old Master Confucius drank two sips of water, calmed down, and then continued: "Tianyi Pavilion lost a book, it is a classic of Xichang Kingdom."

When Bing Xin heard that the books were just lost, not dead, she breathed a sigh of relief and said, "What's the name of the book in Xichang Kingdom?"

"Don't you remember, Master Shan? Years ago, you bought a batch of ancient books from the Western Regions from a Western Region bookseller, and one of them was written in the language of the Xichang Kingdom."

Bing Xin thought for a while, and seemed to have a little impression: "Ah, you are talking about that thin parchment book that no one can decipher?"

Old Master Confucius nodded and said, "Yes, that book was written in the language of Xichang, but Xichang has been destroyed by Wusun, and all the monks and priests who knew the language of Xichang were killed, so the contents of the book cannot be deciphered naturally. gone."

Bing Xin asked: "How did you find out that it was lost?"

Old Master Confucius said: "Today, the Imperial Forest Army conducted a large-scale search. Although Tianyi Pavilion is a forbidden place, no one can enter it, but I thought that just in case, I went in and checked it myself, and found that the shelf where this parchment book was placed was empty. One piece, this ancient book of the Xichang Kingdom is gone.”

Li Li, the supervisor, couldn't help but said: "Confucius, are you sure that this book was lost, and you didn't put it somewhere else by mistake? Last time you said that the key to Tianyi Pavilion was stolen, which made everyone jump. Turned Tianyi Pavilion upside down, but it turned out that the key was not lost at all, and was found under your bed. This time, it won’t be another oolong, right?”

Bing Xin was silent and did not make a sound, but she obviously also had this worry in her heart. After all, the parchment books of Xichang Kingdom have been stored in Tianyi Pavilion for so long, and there is nothing special about them. Besides, the writing of Xichang Kingdom has been lost. If you can't decipher it even if you take this book, what's the use?She collected this book at that time, and it was only out of the curiosity of collecting lonely copies.

The old master Kong blew his beard and stared: "How is it possible? I sorted out and categorized every book in Tianyi Pavilion myself. How can there be any reason to put it indiscriminately?"

Li Li and Old Master Kong were at a stalemate, Kong Hansong stepped forward to hold his father, and persuaded him: "Father, don't be in a hurry, just listen to me..."

Kong Hansong paused, his cold eyes swept across everyone's faces, he didn't know whether it was intentional or not, he paused for a moment on Xiao Jue's face, then slowly moved away, and continued: "Father, the key to Tianyi Pavilion is yours." I keep it with me all the time, never leave my body, and we live next to it. Everyone knows that it is a forbidden area, and no one approaches Tianyi Pavilion at ordinary times. Unless someone has another key, he secretly opens the door and sneaks into Tianyi Pavilion while others are not prepared. Stealing books..."

Bing Xin shook her head and said: "It's impossible, the other key is with me, and it's also well kept and never left."

Kong Hansong said again: "I believe that the head of the mountain must keep the key properly. Since the completion of the academy, the books in Tianyi Pavilion have never been stolen. According to my son, my father should go back and look for it again. Maybe the book was accidentally dropped in a corner , You didn’t notice it for a while. Didn’t you say you lost the key last time, and found it under the bed?”

"Yeah, you should look for it more carefully." Everyone also persuaded.
