Feeling soft-hearted for a while, Ji Linglan stayed in Yongping Town for another three days.Although Yongping Town is not small, it is just a town and there are no good places to go.The two got up early in the morning to go shopping, went back to the inn to cool off at noon, took a nap in the afternoon, and went fishing in the nearby river when the sun was not so bright.

After three leisurely days, an imperial decree came from the capital, summoning Fu Nanling to return to the capital immediately, breaking his idea of ​​staying in Yongping town.

"Alan, let Xiao Linzi follow you, he will be able to fight with you, and I can rest assured that he will follow you."

"No, I'm more comfortable on my own, I'm not used to having people around me. The emperor hastily called you back to the palace, so you don't want to delay, you should hurry up and leave." He has too many secrets, and Ji Linglan doesn't want to have anyone by his side.

"Alan, how can I rest assured that you are going on the road alone?" Fu Nanling frowned tightly.

"I can come and go freely in the Liu Mansion, and I can escape three times in a row in the hands of a master like Gao Wei, so why worry?" Seeing that Fu Nanling had no intention of leaving, Ji Linglan took the initiative to take a step back and said, "Wait After I went to Ancheng to meet Uncle Zhang, I went back to Yongping Town to settle down. If you are free in the future, come to Yongping to find me."

Seeing that Ji Linglan had made up his mind, Fu Nanling could only say helplessly: "Okay then, if Ah Lan keeps his word, he must settle in Yongping. You can't let me come, but I can't find you."

"Don't worry, when I come back from Ancheng, I will buy a small courtyard and settle down here. If you come to Yongping again, you will definitely find me."

Ji Linglan coaxed Fu Nanling onto the road after she talked all kinds of things.Before leaving, Fu Nanling gave Ji Linglan a dozen silver notes, and the smallest denomination was 100 taels.After he left, Ji Linglan counted, and there were as many as 3000 taels.In addition, there is a bag of golden beans, a dagger for self-defense, a luxury carriage, and the clothes he usually wears in the carriage, a lot of food, and some things they bought in the past two days The gadgets are all in duplicate, and each of them has one copy, each of which is treasured.

Looking at the banknote in front of her, Ji Linglan went directly into the dissection room, took out the key to open the locker, and stuffed the banknote and the golden beans in it, leaving only 100 taels for self-defense.He took out his mobile phone and looked at it, and found that there were several unread voice messages.

"Master, I finally found another number of Liu Xiaolu. It is indeed as you guessed. In the mobile business hall on Jiannan Road, there is a salesperson named Zhang Qiaoling, who is his ex-girlfriend. Other ID cards have been applied for."

"Master, Liu Xiaolu is contacting Zheng Minglei with this number."

"Master's suspicion is correct. Liu Xiaolu's case and Zheng Hai's case are really related to Zheng Minglei. As long as I continue to follow the clues, I will be able to investigate the '3' case clearly."

"Master, am I really good? I really want to hear you praise me."

"Master, thank you for encouraging me and trusting me, otherwise I would not have persisted today."

Ji Linglan looked at the time when the message was sent, and then at the current date, and found that the voice was sent by Tang Tang two days ago.Feeling a little uneasy in his heart, he clicked on the address book and called Tang Tang.

After waiting for a while, no one answered the phone. Ji Linglan's uneasiness increased. He did not give up and dialed again. After ten consecutive calls, the phone was finally connected.

"Hello, who is it?"

An unfamiliar voice came from the receiver, Ji Linglan's heart tightened, and she asked, "Is Tang Tang there?"

"Hey, hey, talk."

It was only then that Ji Linglan remembered that only Tang Tang could hear her own voice clearly.

"Hey, the patient is still in a coma... Hey, you're awake."

Immediately, Tang Tang's weak voice came from the receiver, "Hey, master, you are looking for me."

Hearing the strangeness in Tang Tang's tone, Ji Linglan asked nervously, "Tang Tang, are you in the hospital? What happened?"

"Master, I was stabbed from the back, but the wound hurts a little, it's fine, don't worry." Tang Tang spoke slowly, completely different from usual.

"Who hurt you? What happened? Who is that person next to you?"

"There is a doctor by my side. Master, I have something to do, and I will get back to you later."

Ji Linglan knew in her heart that there must be some things that are not convenient for outsiders to listen to, and it is not easy to drive the doctor out, so Tang Tang said that.

After hanging up the phone and locking the cabinet door, Ji Linglan left the dissecting room, came to the front desk of the inn, stayed for a few more days, then went back to the room and locked the door, and entered the dissecting room again.

Ji Linglan took out her mobile phone and waited anxiously.

After waiting for almost an hour, Ji Linglan's cell phone rang, but the number displayed was not Tang Tang's.Ji Linglan answered the phone without hesitation.

"Hey, master, it's me."

Tang Tang's voice came from next to her ear, Ji Linglan couldn't help but heaved a sigh of relief, and said, "Your phone has been monitored?"

Ji Linglan can only think of this reason for using someone else's mobile phone even though she has one.

"Yes, master, I agree with you now, our police force really has ghosts."

"Tell me in detail, what happened?"

"Master, listen to the voice I sent you."

"Listen, you found another number of Liu Xiaolu, and found out that the person he contacted is Zheng Minglei." Ji Linglan briefly repeated the content of the voice.

"After confirming the information that day, I have been investigating Zheng Minglei, and found that three days before Liu Xiaolu's death, there were 500 million capital flows in his account. After getting this news, I am even more sure of Master's guess, Liu Xiaolu His death must have something to do with him, so I went to investigate the action line of Zheng Minglei and Liu Xiaolu after the last phone call. I found that Zheng Minglei had appeared in Liu Xiaolu and Chang Xin's community on the day Liu Xiaolu confirmed his death. Although he wore He wears a hat and a mask, but the clothes he wears are MC custom-made, unique."

"Who hurt you, can you see the person clearly?"

"After I got the information from the MC store, I planned to go back to the police station. When I was in the parking lot, someone stabbed me from the back. I didn't have a chance to see his appearance clearly, but I scratched the back of his hand and put The blood was secretly smeared on the clothes inside."

"Where did you hurt? Is it serious? What did the doctor say?"

Tang Tang faltered and said: "I probably hurt the kidney, but it's not serious. The doctor said that I can be discharged in two days."

Ji Linglan frowned, and her tone became stricter, and said, "Tang Tang, have you forgotten what I do? Tell me honestly, how did you get hurt?"

"Master, it's really not serious, otherwise how could I talk to you like this."

Seeing that Tang Tang didn't want to talk about it, Ji Linglan didn't ask any more questions. He is a forensic doctor who knows the structure of the human body best. The kidneys are located deep and protected by fat sacs and surrounding structures. There is little chance of injury. Injuries, especially penetrating injuries, almost always hurt other internal organs. Tang Tang didn't say anything to prevent him from worrying.

"Heal your wounds well, hand over the information you have to the director, and don't meddle in the '3' case again."

"My mobile phone was taken away by the murderer, and the information in it must have been destroyed, but fortunately, I have a backup of each document, and uploaded it to the master's mailbox. I just sent a copy to the director."

"Is there someone from the police station guarding your ward?"

"Yes, it's just outside the door. Master, are you worried that if they find out that I'm not dead, they will kill me again?"

"The possibility is very high, so you must be more vigilant, and you can't trust anyone, understand?"

"Based on the evidence I have now, at most it proves that he may have been blackmailed by Liu Xiaolu, and he can find an excuse to get off the crime. This is not a parking lot, and I am no longer alone. Is it a big risk to come to the hospital and kill me?"

"Just in case, what's more, they don't know how far you have found out. If they suspect that the things Liu Xiaolu possessed fell into your hands, and you also scratched the murderer who injured you, they will naturally have It is necessary to kill you."

"Master, when I investigated Zheng Minglei, I only told Xiao Liu and Captain Gao of the Technical Investigation Division. I only have the two of them who can easily find out my whereabouts. I doubt them..."

"Dong dong dong", there was a knock on the door, Tang Tang stopped suddenly, and then whispered: "Master, let's not talk, someone is here."

Looking at the hung up phone, Ji Linglan frowned slightly. Although Tang Tang hadn't finished what he said just now, he understood it.Tang Tang suspects that Xiao Liu and Gao Yuan of the Technical Investigation Section are the inner ghost.

"lofty……"

Ji Linglan murmured his name in a low voice, with a wry smile on the corner of her mouth.The two have worked together for many years and have always been the best partners. He really doesn't want to doubt Gao Yuan.

Ji Linglan looked at the door of the anatomy room. He tried it at the beginning, but he couldn't leave here through that door and go to the real world.So even if he knew that Tang Tang was in danger, he could only wait here and could not help at all. Ji Linglan couldn't help feeling a strong sense of powerlessness in her heart.

After waiting in fear for three days, Ji Linglan would send a text message to Tang Tang every hour to ensure his safety.Fortunately, the director Cui Huanmin received Tang Tang's email, realized the seriousness of the matter, and sent more people to protect Tang Tang. These three days have passed without incident.

Three days later, the other party still hadn't made a move, and the possibility of making a move after that was not great. Ji Linglan couldn't help but heaved a sigh of relief, and after explaining to Tang Tang, she left the dissecting room.

As soon as he returned to the inn room, Ji Linglan sensed something was wrong, and when he realized it, a cold long sword was already across his neck.

"Ji Linglan, it's been a long time since we met!"

The sound of gnashing of teeth rang in his ears, and Ji Linglan couldn't help laughing bitterly, and then Gao Wei's face appeared in front of Ji Linglan's eyes.

"Long time no see indeed."

Gao Wei looked at the light in Ji Linglan's eyes and said, "I've been waiting for you here for three days. I didn't eat, drink or sleep for three days, just to catch you. Hard work pays off. You still showed up .”

Ji Linglan smiled wryly and said, "Gao Wei, there shouldn't be such a big quarrel between us, besides, I'm just a young man, are you going to bite me to death?"

"If it wasn't for you, how could the Gao family be destroyed? If it weren't for the collapse of the Gao family, how could I have fallen to this point? I have a sworn hatred with you, how could I let you go!"

"No, the Gao family was destroyed, it was the work of the imperial court's Yingwei. You fell to this point, it was because Sun Yi crossed the river and demolished the bridge. The former has a little relationship with me, but the latter has nothing to do with me. You want revenge, go to the court, go to Sun Yi, what are you doing biting me?"

"Ji Linglan, you don't need to talk sweet words. I can make my own judgment on the facts. If I catch you today, there is absolutely no possibility of letting you go."

"Gao Wei, do you know your own life experience?"

"My life experience?" Gao Wei narrowed his eyes slightly, looked at Ji Linglan vigilantly, and said, "What tricks do you want to play?"

"Your biological father is not Gao Jin."

Gao Wei's expression was startled, and the long sword in his hand moved forward unconsciously.Ji Linglan suddenly felt a pain in her neck, and then a bloody smell spread to her nose.He subconsciously reached out to touch it, but Gao Wei stopped him sharply.

"Don't move! Otherwise, I'll kill you right now!" Gao Wei raised the tip of his sword and said threateningly, "Tell me, what do you know?"

There was no fear in Ji Linglan's eyes, she looked straight into Gao Wei's eyes, and said, "I say yes, but you have to promise to let me go, otherwise you can only go to hell with this secret."

Gao Wei looked at Ji Linglan with cold eyes, was silent for a while, and said: "I know you are not afraid of death, don't worry, I will not let you die easily, I will torture you slowly, let you taste that life is worse than death You will beg me to kill you when the time comes."

Ji Linglan's eyes also turned cold, and she said: "Although I'm not a big shot, I do have a bit of backbone, and I really want to taste what you mean by saying that life is better than death. However, the premise is that you can catch me. .”

Ji Linglan looked behind Gao Wei and said anxiously, "Brother Lu, do it!"

Gao Wei subconsciously turned around when he heard the words, but found that there was no one behind him, and felt that there was a fraud. When he looked at Ji Linglan, he found that he was nowhere to be seen.

"Ji Linglan!" Gao Wei gritted his teeth with hatred, this was the fourth time Ji Linglan escaped from his hands.

Ever since Gao Wei's whereabouts were revealed by Sun Yi, he has been hunted down by Fu Nanling's people. After a fight, he was injured and escaped. will be discovered so quickly.Later, he sneaked back to Ningcheng and happened to meet the team escorting Sun Yi and others. When he saw that Sun Huan was not in the team, he vaguely understood something.

Fu Nanling returned to the capital with great fanfare, without any intention of hiding his whereabouts, so he was naturally followed by Gao Wei, who followed behind him all the way.Gao Wei's goal is very clear, and that is Ji Linglan.It's just that Ji Linglan has been closely guarded all along the way, and he has no chance to attack at all. It's just that he didn't expect Fu Nanling to leave suddenly for some reason, leaving Ji Linglan alone, without even leaving an attendant. Wei was overjoyed.After Fu Nanling and the others had all left, and after confirming that there were indeed no protectors around, they sneaked into Ji Linglan's room.But Ji Linglan had a heart for Tang Tang, so she packed the food in the carriage and brought it to the dissection room, where she stayed for three days, and Gao Wei also stayed in the room for three days, just as he said he would not eat or drink Not sleeping, but being run away by Ji Linglan again, burning with anger, Ji Linglan seems to have become Gaowei's obsession.

With a "bang", the window was broken, and a person flew in from the outside, pointing a long sword at Gao Wei.Gao Wei retreated quickly, raised his sword to resist, and fought with the comer.

When Gao Wei saw who it was, he couldn't help but yelled, "Lu Jiu, it's you!"

Lu Jiu didn't speak, and jumped forward to bully him again. His strikes were firm and ruthless, and he didn't give Gao Wei a chance to breathe.Gao Wei's original injuries had not healed, and he hadn't eaten for three days. After fighting for a long time, he fell into a disadvantage and fled in embarrassment after being stabbed in the chest by Lu Jiu.Seeing this, Lu Jiu raised his sword and followed Gao Wei tightly, determined to get rid of his hidden danger.

It is impossible for Fu Nanling to leave Ji Linglan alone, and he also understands that Ji Linglan has many secrets, and he cannot even reveal it to him. Although he is a little disappointed, he does not take it to heart. He is confident that one day Ji Linglan Linglan would open up with him, so he left Lu Jiu to secretly protect Ji Linglan.

In the past few days, Lu Jiu had been guarding outside Ji Linglan's window. When he saw him close the window, Lu Jiu knew that Ji Linglan must be doing something, but he didn't want others to know.Lu Jiu knew how to behave and had no intention of peeping. It happened to be noon at that time, so he quietly left to buy some food, and it was at this time that Gao Wei sneaked into Ji Linglan's room.

Not seeing Ji Linglan for three days in a row, Lu Jiu also murmured in his heart, but he knew that Fu Nanling had bought a lot of food for Ji Linglan before he left, and packed all of it when he returned to his room. There is no shortage of time and food.

Just when Lu Jiu was hesitating whether to go in and have a look, he finally heard the movement inside, and it was true that two people were talking.Suspicious, Lu Jiu jumped to the roof to check the situation inside, and suddenly found that Gao Wei was holding Ji Linglan hostage.

Lu Jiu looked at Gao Wei coldly, especially after he hurt Ji Linglan's neck, when he was thinking about how to save Ji Linglan.Ji Linglan suddenly called him by his name, not only Gao Wei was fooled, but he himself was stunned for a while, when he came back to his senses, Ji Linglan had already disappeared in the room.Although full of doubts, Lu Jiu didn't hesitate any longer, broke the window and broke in, vowing to eradicate the scourge of Gaowei.

Ji Linglan took out cotton balls and iodine from the locker, and treated the wound on her neck. Fortunately, the wound was not deep, only a little bit of flesh.

An hour later, he left the dissecting room again, this time when he appeared, he rolled on the spot, and ended up rolling onto a table leg, causing him severe pain.When he came to the door, he finally realized that something was wrong. Not to mention the mess in the room, even the windows were removed. Fortunately, Galway was no longer there.Only then did Ji Linglan let out a sigh of relief, she packed her luggage and left the guest room without caring about checking the situation on the scene.He left ten taels of silver for the shopkeeper, explained that he had broken the furniture in the room, and then drove the carriage all the way towards Ancheng.

After the carriage drove out of Yongping Town, Ji Linglan slowed down, thinking about the situation in the room just now, the window fell into the room, indicating that someone broke in through the window, and the marks on the table were caused by a sharp weapon , apparently someone was fighting in his room just now.One of them must be Galway, and the other...

Thinking about being in Wanfeng Villa before, Ji Linglan couldn't help but smile helplessly, stopped the carriage, looked around, and shouted: "Come out."

Lu Jiu, who had been following behind, hesitated, jumped down from the big tree, came to Ji Linglan, looked at the wound on his neck, and asked, "Does it still hurt?"

"No problem." When the guess was confirmed, Ji Linglan couldn't help crying and laughing, and said, "Brother Lu, if I didn't find you, do you plan to keep hiding like this?"

Lu Jiu nodded seriously, and said, "Master asked me to protect you secretly."

Ji Linglan understood Lu Jiu's temperament, and also understood that he obeyed Fu Nanling's words. Even if he rushed, Lu Jiu would not leave, but would just hide in a corner and carry out his mission.

"Brother Lu, where have you been hiding these few days?"

"On that big tree outside your house."

Ji Linglan was amused for a while, and said: "I have been living in the tree for three days, can't you open another room next to me?"

"A comfortable room will make people relax their vigilance." Lu Jiu's eyes fell on Ji Linglan's neck again, and said, "I was careless, I'm sorry, Alan."

"What does this have to do with you? It's all done by Gao Wei." Ji Linglan paused and asked, "How is Gao Wei, did Brother Lu catch him?"

"Run away, failed to catch up."

"Brother Lu, get in the car, let's talk as we walk."

Since they couldn't be driven away, they might as well go together. Moreover, there was the threat of Gao Wei. With Lu Jiu, at least Ji Linglan didn't have to worry about it anymore.

"Okay." Lu Jiu responded, sat on the shaft of the chariot, and grabbed the reins.

Seeing this, Ji Linglan was not pretentious, he knew his driving skills, so he sat directly on the other side.Lu Jiu flicked the reins, and the carriage moved forward slowly.

Ancheng was less than a hundred miles away from Yongping Town. Because he was not in a hurry, Lu Jiu did not drive fast. He stopped and stopped along the way, and did not enter Ancheng until evening.I asked someone to inquire, and after confirming the location of the Zhang family, I drove over there.

When he came to the gate, Ji Linglan looked up at the plaque and said with a smile, "Brother Lu, we are here."

Lu Jiu smiled slightly, jumped off the carriage, and stood beside the carriage, pulling the reins.

Ji Linglan stepped forward, patted the door knocker, and then heard the door answer, "Who is it?"

"I'm A Lan, I'm here to find Uncle Zhang."

The door was opened, and a servant poked his head out, looked carefully at Ji Linglan at the door, and then said with a smile: "Young master, it's really a young master, you are finally back. Da Liu, go and report to the master, just Said that Master Alan is back."

"Hey, okay, I'll go right away." Another voice came from inside.

The servant opened the door, walked out from inside, bowed and said: "Little Cai, I have seen Master A Lan."

Ji Linglan quickly helped him up and said, "You don't need to be too polite. Are Uncle Zhang and the others all right?"

"Master and Madam are both very good, but they always miss Master Alan. The servants who know you are guarding the door every day, for fear that one day you will be blocked when you come back."

Ji Linglan felt warm when she heard the words, and said, "It's my fault. Uncle Zhang is worried about the delay for so long."

"Young master, this is your carriage, just leave it to the younger one, and you can enter the house quickly."

Seeing Ah Cai looking at Lu Jiu, Ji Linglan introduced, "He is my friend, his surname is Lu."

Ah Cai hastily saluted and said, "Young master has met Mr. Lu. Since Mr. Lu is the young master's friend, he is our distinguished guest. The carriage is handed over to the young one. Young master and young master quickly enter the residence."

Lu Jiu handed over the carriage to A Cai, and entered with Ji Linglan.Not long after he walked, he heard footsteps, and then Ji Linglan saw Zhang Ling walking quickly.Ji Linglan greeted her quickly, walked up to her, and said with a smile, "Uncle Zhang, Ah Lan is here as a guest."

"What are you talking about? You are the young master of my Zhang family." Zhang Ling pulled Ji Linglan over and looked at him carefully. When he saw the injury on his neck, he couldn't help asking with concern: "Ah Lan, why are you injured?" Yes, have you seen the doctor?"

"It's okay, it's just some flesh wounds. Uncle Zhang may have forgotten that Ah Lan also has some superficial medical skills."

Zhang Ling was stunned, then smiled and said: "How could I forget? If it wasn't for Ah Lan, how could the Zhang family be where they are today. Let's go, Madam has been thinking about you. If she sees you coming back, she will definitely feel sad. joy."

Ji Linglan pulled Lu Jiu over and introduced: "Uncle Zhang, I forgot to introduce you. This is my friend named Lu Jiu. He will be here during the time I'm in Ancheng. Please trouble Uncle Zhang to arrange a place to live." , it is best to arrange us in a courtyard."

Lu Jiu cupped his hands slightly, and said, "Lu Jiu has met Mr. Zhang."

"Since you're Ah Lan's friend, I'll ask you to call you Ah Jiu?"

Lu Jiu responded, "Okay."

"Uncle Zhang, don't blame him. Brother Lu is introverted and not good at communicating with others."

"It's okay, it's okay, let's go, let's go in and talk if we have something to say."
