[Seven Five] Sword Que Merry

Zhan Zhao responded slowly, "It's on fire."

"Fire?" She fastened her clothes, and, regardless of her wet hair, opened the curtain and walked out, "Where is the fire?"

"It should be in Miss Mu's house." While speaking, he still looked away unnaturally.

"It turned out to be her." Nian Yi took Qingsi and squeezed a handful of water indifferently, "No wonder I heard such a loud commotion when I got up early... Would you like to come in and have a sit?"

"No, I have to go to the scene to take a look, and I don't know if she is good or bad." After a while, he asked her again, "Have you had breakfast?"

"Not yet." Nian Yi shook his head, "I have pastries in my room, are you hungry, I'll bring you some?"

"Ah."

Seeing the two of them coming and going, they seem to have known each other for a long time in their words, and they came very naturally and casually.Qiaoer scratched her head in a daze, quite puzzled.

When did their relationship become so good?

As expected, Nian Yi brought out a small plate of yam cakes from the house, Zhan Zhao was also unexpectedly not polite to her, and the two of them stood outside the door and ate it separately.

"It's okay anyway, I'll go with you."

After all, she is the older sister in name, and she should go and have a look at it out of reason, although it might not be treated like this in reverse.

"Alright."

"Then wait for me." Nian Yi put the dishes away, patted his dress, and walked side by side with him with a smile on his lips.

Only then did Qiaoer come back to her senses and catch up.

"Ah, Miss, you haven't dried your hair yet..."

The place where Mu Qing lived was twice as big as her yard, the fire had already been extinguished, and it didn't look like it was serious.It is heard that she was only slightly injured, but she was overly frightened and is currently bedridden.

Nian lifted the hem of her skirt and stepped in through the threshold, reaching out her hand to wave the scorched atmosphere around her.

"The beds are still intact. They should have been discovered not long after the fire."

Zhan Zhao looked up and looked around, then turned around and asked, "Who was the first to notice that there was a fire in the house?"

The next catcher trotted forward and saluted respectfully: "Report to Mr. Zhan, I'm a subordinate."

He frowned: "Isn't there a girl in Miss Mu's room? How could you find out first?"

"There is a girl, but the burn is serious, and she is still asking the doctor for treatment. I don't know why she didn't call for help..." The policeman also muttered a few words in wonder.

Hearing this, Nian Yi and Zhan Zhao couldn't help nodding and looked at each other, with the same expressions in their eyes: the person who was set on fire must have been drugged.

Zhan Zhao's expression was slightly stern, and his face sank like water: "Did you patrol at night, didn't you even see any suspicious people?"

"This..." The speed of scratching his head became faster and faster. After thinking hard for a long time, he suddenly said, "Yes, there is one. At that time, I saw a young man wandering around the yard and asked him about it. He said he was here. It was for the lady to deliver supper, so the subordinates and others didn't care..."

"Little servant?"

In order to make up for the mistake, the head catcher hurriedly said: "This subordinate will go and question the servants in the mansion!"

Zhan Zhao sighed helplessly: "Go ahead...by the way, ask the girl who has been on duty at night for the past few days."

"Yes."

Seeing him leading a group of people away in a mighty way, Nian Yi asked him:

"Do you have an eye?"

"Not yet." Zhan Zhao followed her back slowly, "Do you still remember that the murderer specially left a letter at the house?"

"Um...the letter writer did it?"

"No, it's not like." He frowned and shook his head, pondering for a moment, "The letter said that people would be killed within ten days after Shangyuan, but the whole month was calm. And don't you find it strange? The murderer wants to kill The bluff before would make people wary, wouldn't it be a great disadvantage for a person like him who can't even enter the inner courtyard of the Mu Mansion?"

"Then..." Nian Yi lowered his eyes to ponder, "The person who wrote the letter deliberately reminded us that someone would attack the Mu family?"

"Maybe." Zhan Zhao pursed his lips slightly, "Unfortunately, this person is really hard to find... I can only hope that some idler can find a clue."

"Idlers?" She didn't react for a while, "What idlers?"

……

"What did you say?!" Bai Yutang almost slapped the table and stood up, just when Shi Yin entered the door, the voice was so loud that it pierced his ears, making him frown and take a step back.

"You said her, you said she read..."

"Hush—" Zhan Zhao winked at him with a sullen face, and the latter realized that there was an outsider beside him, so he quickly kept his mouth shut.

Qiaoer silently walked to the table and poured tea for the four of them. It was completely unimaginable that the young lady made friends with so many people of all kinds in just a few days... and they were all men!

When Nian Yi took the teacup, he lightly pressed her hand and said with a faint smile, "Go out and close the door."

"Yes." Qiao'er didn't dare to wait any longer, she carried the teapot, turned around and slipped away, and stood outside the door to watch out for him and the others.

Bai Yutang looked at the window and lowered his voice: "Is this girl reliable?"

"It should be reliable." Nian Yi put down the glass and thought for a while, "There is only one seriously ill mother in her family, and she has never interacted with anyone."

"Hey, then do whatever you want, if you dare to reveal a word, just silence it."

Nian shook his hands and raised his eyes to look at him quietly.

"...Let's not talk about this for now." Bai Yutang coughed lightly, "It's you, why... why did you suddenly become the second miss of the Mu family?"

"It's a long story, and I don't even understand it very well." She looked at Zhan Zhao, and then at Shi Yin, "How about you, have you heard?"

Shi Yin looked around at them, and snorted rather unwillingly, "It's hard to say, your current situation is really rare."

He paused, "According to Sara's guess, it should be that at the same time as the second miss of the Mu family died, your scattered soul suddenly floated over here, and merged with her soul."

Zhan Zhao immediately asked: "So, more than half of the soul is not hers?"

Bai Yutang became nervous in a hurry: "Then will the real Ms. Mu come back?"

"How would I know." Shi Yin crossed his arms and walked a few steps in the room, "After all, the soul belongs to someone else. If she comes back someday, she must be reincarnated. You have to be mentally prepared for this."

After listening, Nian held the teacup in one or two hands, and suddenly lowered his head.

In fact, she had expected this to happen a long time ago, and she didn't hold out much hope at all, but unfortunately, now that she has recognized them, if she leaves one day, she will definitely...bring them a lot of trouble.

There was a sudden warmth on the back of his hand, Zhan Zhao reached out to hold her hand, and then gently put it in his arms.

Nian Yi looked at him nonchalantly, seeing that his eyes were gentle and not sentimental, she was stunned for a while and then smiled.

"You...don't be so pessimistic." Turning around and seeing the two of them acquainted and smiling, Shi Yin looked away uncomfortably, "Now, you have a way to live forever."

Bai Yutang immediately asked, "What is the method?"

"Nian Yi." He stepped forward with a solemn expression, "You have to devour the soul of the second miss of the Mu family."

Nian Yi raised his head in astonishment.

This kind of thing... She has never done it before, isn't it the same as killing people?

"To put it bluntly, you're just a dove and a magpie's nest right now, but there's nothing you can do about it." Shi Yin leaned down, stroked the back of her hand, and said in a serious and serious tone, "Even if you don't want to, I will help you."

Nian Yi stayed for a long time, then shook his head and said: "Will it be too cruel? If so, this Miss Mu will live forever and cannot be reincarnated, just like being wiped out..."

"Do you think you can really hold on until now with your weak will?" Shiyin straightened up and tilted her head to look at her, "After more than half a year, if she wanted to get her soul back, she would have done it long ago Yes. I'm afraid it's..."

"She wants something from you."

The spring breeze rustled the branches outside the window, the sun was shining brightly, and spring flowers were blooming everywhere.Indistinct words echoed vaguely in my ears...

Is that so?

Seeing her lost in thought, Zhan Zhao asked softly, "Do you know something?"

"Hmm... But I haven't figured it out yet." Nianyi closed his eyes and collected his thoughts, "I'll tell you one by one when this case is cleared up, okay?"

"Okay." He smiled softly, "Don't worry, the days will be long."

At least she was still by his side, within his reach, so even if he waited another four years, he would be content.

In the spring, this scene was so warm, when it came into view, Bai Yutang couldn't help but smile slightly, remembering that many years ago, there was someone in front of him who would look at him and smile.

"You go."

On the Panyun Mountain, looking from the outside, she was wearing a Taoist robe, with a dust whisk in her hand, her back was facing him, and she didn't even show her face.

"There are so many trifles in my opinion, I'm afraid I don't have time to entertain Mr. Bai."

He held a green branch in his hand and shook it leisurely, smiling undiminished: "It's okay, I can help you too. Anyway, I've been used to cleaning up the mess for you since I was a kid..."

"I'm not the little girl I used to be." She tilted her head slightly, "There's no need for you to take care of my aftermath."

She gritted her teeth: "What's more... I can't stay in a quiet place for a long time, so as not to cause people to gossip."

The gate opened and closed again with a creak, leaving him alone outside the mountain gate.

Bai Yutang stared at the face reflected in the tea, and changed the topic as if nothing had happened: "By the way, didn't you ask me to check that letter a few days ago?"

Zhan Zhao said, "What? Did you find it?"

"That's not true... However, I found this Yin Zheng a bit strange."

Nian Yi poured him a cup of tea: "What's so strange?"

"Supposedly, shouldn't he be sad when his wife died? I watched him on the roof for a long time, but I didn't see him sigh." Bai Yutang finished his tea and moved forward, "Besides, they The relationship between the two seems to be not good. Mrs. Wang was originally his housemate, but because his wife died of illness a few years ago, she moved a lot of money from him in private, and the two quarreled several times over this matter. "

"You think Yin Zheng killed her?"

"Most likely."

"Not necessarily." Zhan Zhao shook his head lightly, "Don't forget, the Wang family and Young Master Yin had swapped the cup beforehand, and the real murderer wanted to kill was actually the young master of the Yin family."

"It's easy." Bai Yutang picked up his sword, "I'll go watch outside his room tonight, I don't believe I won't be able to wait for the murderer."

"Brother Bai, don't be impatient, let's discuss the long-term plan..."

"What are you talking about, I'm leaving first."

"..."

Shiyin listened for a long time, his eyebrows were knotted, he stood up slowly, and flicked his robe.

"You mortals, solving a case is a hassle. For such a simple matter, I will go down and ask someone to understand it."

Everyone was stunned for a while before they remembered that such a convenient person existed.

After all, it was the room of the girl's house, and the few of them did not come out for a long time, which might arouse suspicion, so it didn't take long for Bai Yutang and the two to leave in a hurry, and Zhan Zhaosui also got up to leave.

"Is this gone?"

Just as Nian Yi picked up the teapot, he quickly put it down again, with a tone of disappointment that couldn't be concealed.

Hearing this, Zhan Zhao was helpless and apologetic: "I can't stay too long..."

It was not easy for the two of them to be alone, and only at this moment could she look at him so unscrupulously.

From the eyebrows to the corners of his lips to the ends of his hair, Nian Yi raised his head and looked at his face quietly, his eyes were gentle and bright.

Even though he knew that Zhang Long might be looking for him everywhere, Zhan Zhao didn't want to interrupt him, and let her look at him with his head down.

"My appearance has changed." Nian Yi turned his face uncomfortably, "You look at me like this...don't you feel awkward?"

"No." He stepped forward and gently put his arms around her waist, buried his head deep in the crescent of her neck, but stopped talking.

Nian Yi hugged his back, and suddenly sighed softly: "I don't know when I will be with you..."

She is not as free as before, and it is even more difficult for her to live with him under the same roof as Ru Nianyi in the face of someone else's identity.

"and many more……"

She seemed to think of something, she broke away from his arms, her eyes lit up, "May I be with you as Muci?"

Zhan Zhao was slightly stunned.

"Now I am not afraid of the sun, chickens and dogs, Taoist priests and monks will not accept me." Nian Yi held his cheeks, eyes flickering, "Can I... just marry you like this?"

The author has something to say: transitional chapter~~~~

From now on, Shiyin decides to be a quiet sister-in-law...
