Queen's Detective

"What's so mysterious about it?" Ling Ding frowned. Although he had experienced the incident in Daqing Township, he was still not sensitive to such mysterious things. ?”

However, the person who said these words had already fallen into a coma due to excessive blood loss. Even if he thought about it with Xie Xiaotang's brain at this moment, he knew that this must be the next clue that the prisoner said through Qiu Shui's mouth.Qiu Shui wanted to speak out so desperately, he must have been threatened by something.

Chu Yunlou couldn't help becoming anxious again. This time, Qiushui almost died. What about next time?Will it be replaced by Brother Ying?

He could hardly imagine the picture.

"Brother Yan, do you have any clues?" He couldn't help urging.

"Not yet." Yan Sanbai shook his head slightly. He also understood Chu Yunlou's anxiety, but the more urgent the matter was, the more he couldn't mess it up. The prisoner was probably spying on them somewhere right now. , Once they are in a mess, they will follow his way.

Chu Yunlou still wanted to ask, but Li Yan put his hand on his shoulder, signaling him not to disturb Yan Sanbai's thinking, "Leave him to solve the problem, we can investigate from another direction."

"Another direction?"

"Qiu Shui." Li Yan narrowed his eyes and said coldly: "The prisoner threatened Qiu Shui, so he must have had contact with him. If there are any clues left, we can also find him out."

Li Yan and Chu Yunlou left, but Yan Sanbai sat cross-legged in the Qiushui room, continuing to solve the problem.

The midsummer day was too hot, and the smell of blood in the room seemed to start to ferment, filling Yan Sanbai's mouth and nose.But neither the smell of blood nor the heat were too much of a hindrance to Yan Sanbai, and just now Miss Qiushui's reaction made him sure of one thing - this provocation was aimed at him.

But at this moment, he has no time to think about who the other party is, because there must not be much time left for him.

"What does it mean that the fish has landed? Is it the same as that the fish has been hooked?" Outside the room, Wu Ziying, Xie Xiaotang, and Ding got together and worked together.

"Going ashore is definitely different from taking a bait." Ling Ding said, "When a fish lands, it means it's coming."

"It's as if the food is about to be served." Xie Xiaotang suddenly remembered the grilled fish in Linjiang Pavilion. Li Yan didn't let her into the room just now, so she didn't see the bloody scene, so she still has a full appetite at the moment.

However, Ling Ding and Wu Ziying unanimously decided to ignore her opinion, and Ling Ding said: "This is a knot and a fish. Could it have something to do with the water? Do you guys have any special codes to follow the fish?" related?"

Wu Ziying rubbed her chin and thought for a while, then said: "There are, but there is nothing similar to 'the fish landed'."

But just in case, Wu Ziying called the experienced boatman to ask. The boatman thought about it for a while, then shook his head, "This old man has never heard of it."

Hearing this, Wu Ziying and Ling Ding were inevitably disappointed, their brows furrowed deeply.

Xie Xiaotang squatted on the ground against the wall, propped his chin, and had a sudden thought, "Do you think that thud thump is the sound of fish coming ashore?"

"Which river does the fish come ashore like drums?" Wu Ziying was helpless, the girl's thinking was never in the same way as theirs.

But Ling Ding suddenly said: "Dong dong dong may really be the sound of drumming. Do you have any festivals that are related to fish and drumming? Recently."

Wu Ziying quickly shook her head and said it was impossible, "It's the fifth day of next month, and what festival do you say don't play drums? The kid still has a rattle in his hand."

Ling Ding suddenly became frowning, neither this nor that, so what does this thud and fish landed mean?

Wu Ziying also scratched her hair angrily, and squatted down by the wall like Xie Xiaotang, only hating that her parents didn't give him an extra brain.

Time ticked forward, and the sun gradually crossed the beam on the window, but they still didn't come up with anything.

Xie Xiaotang stood up and lay down on the window looking into the room, "Do you think Brother Yan can figure it out?"

Wu Ziying raised her eyebrows and said: "If he can't figure it out, he won't be able to find Brother Ying, and he won't be able to find Brother Ying. Not only will I go crazy, but Uncle Chu will be able to drain the water of the Qinhuai River. I don't know Who the hell is that, if Grandpa and I meet him, I will definitely pull his loach tendons, peel his toad skin, and feed him to the bottom of the sea to feed fish and shrimp!"

Ling Ding couldn't help getting goosebumps all over his body, and then took a look inside, "Eh? There seems to be something moving inside?"

"Where is it?" Wu Ziying hurriedly stood up to look, three people were lying on the doorway like an arhat, and one accidentally knocked the door open.The three of them stumbled into the door, but thanks to Lone Ding's astute hand, Xie Xiaotang was pulled, otherwise they would have fallen face-to-face.

Yan Sanbai was disturbed by the movement, and looked up.Wu Ziying didn't have time to explain her embarrassment in detail, and asked anxiously, "Do you have any clues?"

Yan Sanbai was silent, he had a guess in his heart, but the guess was so hazy that he couldn't see clearly.

Seeing this situation, Wu Ziying's heart sank, but at this moment, Yan Sanbai suddenly saw Xie Xiaotang.He looked at her with strange concentration.

"What, what's wrong?" Xie Xiaotang looked left and right.

Yan Sanbai suddenly showed a smile, and asked: "Miss Xie, I have a question to ask you, please be sure to tell me what you really want in your heart, is that okay?"

"Oh... yes." Xie Xiaotang nodded hesitantly.

"Let me ask you, what kind of fish won't die when it lands?"

"Huh?" Xie Xiaotang tilted his head and thought for a while, then blinked under Ling Ding and Wu Ziying's puzzled eyes, "Ah, wooden fish!"

"What is the wooden fish used for?" Yan Sanbai continued to ask, the corners of his mouth kept smiling, and the guessing in his heart gradually revealed his true face.

Xie Xiaotang continued to answer without hesitation: "The one used for knocking is that one. The little monk in the temple chanted scriptures and meditated every day to knock."

"What else is there to knock in the temple?"

"And... and..." Xie Xiaotang scratched his head, "There is also a clock! A big clock! Knock for fifty coins!"

"What does the big bell sound like?"

"That's boom-boom-boom--" Xie Xiaotang said, her voice gradually quieted down, she suddenly realized something, and her face was full of surprise.

The fish coming ashore, the strange sound of thump, thump, thump—it's a temple!

"Our way of thinking is wrong." Yan Sanbai finally stood up from the ground, "This puzzle is the simplest trick, and it doesn't have too complicated meaning at all. The saying that the fish landed is misleading. "

Hearing this, both Wu Ziying and Ling Ding showed strange expressions. No one expected that Xie Xiaotang, who had the simplest idea, finally got the correct answer.

But a new problem came up again. There are so many temples in Yingtianfu, which one is it?

Yan Sanbai's eyes are as bright as stars, without a speck of dust. "In Qiushui's words, there are nine 'dong's in total. The first half of the sentence is two, and the second half is seven." It was written in "Tai Xuan" , two and seven are fire, and the fire resides in the south."

"Zhengnan!" Wu Ziying turned around and looked straight to the south, "Suzaku Temple!"

Zhuque Temple is just a small temple hidden in the city, the sun is very hot in the afternoon, there are few pilgrims, and no one came today.Zhuque Temple didn't rely on these incenses to make a living, so it closed the temple gate at noon, and the neighbors who came and went didn't think it was strange, only that this group of monks started to be lazy again.

But until the sun was about to set and lost its irritating heat, the gates of the temple remained closed.

The old lady next door, who was sitting under the big locust tree and shaking her cattail fan, was a little puzzled. In the past, the vendors selling sour plum soup were coming at this time, and the monks were always the fastest runners. Why are there no people today?

She was wondering, the rocking chair was shaking and shaking, her dull mind and dull body prevented her from standing up for a long time to take a look.

What's so good about a group of monks?The old lady grinned, and suddenly remembered the beautiful monk who lived in the temple next to the wall when she was young. His eyebrows and eyes were even more beautiful than that of the Bodhisattva.

The old lady was still a watery girl at the time, her skin was as tender as the water in the Qinhuai River, and she always thought that it would be great if her future husband was as handsome as that little monk.

Thinking about it, she became old, and now she thinks about it again with dizzy old eyes, and she doesn't know if she is really dazzled, but she feels that the person in her memory has come into her sight again alive.

She rubbed her eyes, sat up and leaned over to look—ah, no, this is the one with hair.

But he must be handsome with a shaved head, even more handsome than the little monk.

The old lady was thinking with a smile, Yan Sanbai couldn't help but shuddered when she saw her, the look in her eyes just now... why inexplicably there was a feeling of being spied on, the other party was an old lady, could it be that she was bewitched.

So Yan Sanbai hurried into the Zhuque Temple, Wu Ziying only felt a blur in front of her eyes, and the person disappeared.

The Zhuque Temple is not big, so the group quickly turned it upside down. This time, they successfully found Brother Ying. "Brother Ying!" It was Wu Ziying who first found him in a meditation room, and couldn't help but be pleasantly surprised.But when he wanted to rush in, he just stopped when he took a step. He froze in place, sweating profusely, and didn't even dare to move.

Yan Sanbai almost rushed over, seeing this scene, his eyes narrowed, and he shot instantly, pulling Wu Ziying back as fast as lightning. "What's wrong?" Ling Ding and Xie Xiaotang also arrived. "It's a formation of silkworms." Yan Sanbai spoke calmly, but his brows were slightly clustered.

I saw that the entire meditation room was densely covered with silkworm silk, because it was transparent, that's why Wu Ziying rushed in without noticing it.Fortunately, he stopped quickly, so the sky silk only cut the clothes on his chest, and did not hurt the flesh and blood.And Brother Ying, who they were looking for, was lying on the soft bed in the room as if asleep, with silk silk wrapped around him, and those silk threads were not tightly wound, so he was not in any danger for the time being, but—— A stick of incense was burning on the table where the Buddha statue was enshrined, and the incense had been burned for more than half, and in about half an hour, the incense would be completely burned out, and near the bottom of the incense, a silk thread passed through there.

Yan Sanbai has no doubt that when the incense burns out, the silkworm silk will also break, and the formation will be activated accordingly. The silkworm silk wrapped around Yingge'er's body will be tightened instantly, and with just one breath, the young body will become into pieces.

Lone Ding frowned, walked back and forth, and looked carefully.

This is a formation, and if it is a formation, it must be broken.There wasn't much time left for him, and he didn't think the formation given by the prisoner would be so simple. "Can't we just put out the incense?" Xie Xiaotang asked curiously. "No." Ling Ding directly rejected the proposal, "The silk of the sky is very sharp, and the distribution is too dense, even if you throw a leaf in it, it will be cut into pieces." "Then do you see what it is?" Ziying asked anxiously. "Eight trigrams array." Standing alone and looking at it on the ground, Ding gave a definite answer.Everyone couldn't help but heave a sigh of relief when they heard it. He was able to say the name in one breath, which proved that he was not unsure. "Give me a little time, I need a lot of calculations and deduction to find out the location of the life gate." Ling Ding's face was serious and serious, and before they could answer, he found a branch and scribbled on the ground. The hands and occasionally raised eyebrows convey a sense of tension.

After a while, Li Yan and Chu Yunlou rushed over after receiving the news. At this time, the isolated calculation had spread to the entire ground of the Buddhist temple.Chu Yunlou didn't dare to disturb him, so he came to ask Yan Sanbai about the specific situation.

After looking around, Li Yan asked another crucial question, "Where are the monks in this temple?"
