I picked up fragments in Tiantian Film and Television

"I remembered, it turns out that the lion soul you are looking for is that person." Guo Qian said: "Ten years ago, before Mrs. Xu got married to me, she did save an injured person, but this person did not want me to pick the lotus. Zhuang stayed for two or three days and then left. It was so long that I almost forgot about it. "

After hearing what he said, Li Lianhua said: "Master Guo, now that he's gone, where did he go?"

"I'm not sure about this." Guo Qian looked at the painting Li Lianhua was holding, "As for this painting, maybe he painted it to thank Madam Xu for her kindness. It hasn't been touched here for so many years. ”

"So, this Lion Soul did live in Cai Lian Manor for a short time. The murders that happened in the manor really had nothing to do with him. It's also our fault that we guessed wrong before." Li Lianhua suddenly said. .

Guo Qian nodded, "Of course, I said before that these things were accidents. Everyone came to check today, so they should believe it."

"This is indeed our overthinking. We have a merciless request. Detective Fang, who is beside me, has always disliked the noise of the inn. I wonder if I can stay at your hotel for one night?" Li Lianhua spoke again.

He had agreed with Guo Qian before, obviously just so he could stay.

As soon as Li Lianhua finished speaking, Fang Duobing hurriedly smiled at Guo Qian.

Fang Duobing was the criminal detective of Baichuan Court and the son of the minister of the dynasty. If what happened today had not happened, Guo Qian would definitely have agreed. But leaving them now would make Guo Qian a little worried. He did not refuse directly, but said tactfully: "I, Cai Lian Manor, have always only entertained literati."

However, he met Li Lianhua, "That's such a coincidence. I always love to recite poems for poetry, so I will write a lotus poem for Master Guo tonight. If I stay here for one night today, the owner of the village will not agree to it, right?" ?”

Hearing this, Guo Qian laughed twice and said, "Our Cailian Villa has always been open and upright. We open the door to welcome the scholars, so you can just stay here with peace of mind."

"Thank you."

"Good work."

Fang Duobing and Li Lianhua both expressed their gratitude to Guo Qian.

……

I originally wanted to drive them out on the pretext of trespassing into the backyard, but to my surprise, instead of being able to drive them away, I even let them stay overnight.

This made Guo Qian very depressed. They did not stay long and turned around and left after agreeing to let him stay.

Li Lianhua and others looked at each other and walked out of the backyard.

Although they had settled down temporarily, they did not have much time left to investigate the case, and there was no time to waste.

"Back then, I was a disciple of Thousand Shadows Without a Trace, but Lion Soul's martial arts were not that strong." Di Feisheng said as they walked on the road.

Li Lianhua nodded, "You want to hide it."

"What are you talking about, Thousand Shadows Without a Trace, Lion Soul's martial arts?" Hearing them playing riddles again, Fang Duobing suddenly became anxious.

He couldn't stand this situation where he was excluded from the world of three people.

Well, because Shen Haofeng is not involved in these, he is not within Fang Duobing's consideration.

Seeing this, Li Lianhua explained, "What we are talking about is that ten years ago, after the defeat of the Golden Yuan Alliance in the East China Sea, the Central Plains martial arts went around to wipe out the forces of the Golden Yuan Alliance. This Qian Ying Wu Trace was the most iron-blooded among them. Organization. But I heard from Miss Qiao that Lion Soul was targeted by them at that time, so if he was injured and left after just two days of training, I think there must be something fishy about it. "

There is a problem with his statement, because the lion soul was released by Qiao Wanyan, and she even wrote a letter of thanks. Even if you really only need to rest for two days and leave, you don’t have to worry about anything.

But of course Shen Haofeng would never tell such a thing.

Besides, Guo Qian's various signs indicate that he must be hiding something, but in what way did Li Lianhua come to the conclusion that Guo Qian had a problem? The process may have been problematic, but the result was correct.

For melon-eating Shen Haofeng, this is enough.

Thinking about his words, Fang Duobing guessed, "In other words, the Lion Soul probably didn't leave at that time, and it was Guo Qian who was lying."

"That's right, Fang Shaoxia, you have made progress." Li Lianhua praised him.

Di Fei said in a voice: "Since you know everything, why did you stop me from asking?" He said this to Li Lianhua.

Li Lianhua smiled, "How can someone tell you the truth if he wants to hide it?"

This…

Their operation made Fang Duobing anxious. No, Fang Duobing was anxious again. "Wait, can you please speak clearly and stop playing riddles in front of me?"

Di Feisheng was obviously not as good-tempered as Li Lianhua. He was repeatedly interrupted by Fang Duobing, who said coldly: "Ignorance."

After leaving a few words, he turned around and left.

Fang Duobing was so angry that he jumped on the spot, "Who are you calling ignorant? You?!" He was about to pursue Di Feisheng's theory, but was stopped by Li Lianhua.

"Don't be excited, don't be excited, don't be familiar with him. This happened ten years ago. You were still young at the time. It's your fault that I didn't explain it clearly to you. It's my fault." Li Lianhua looked at Fang Duobing, who had calmed down. Said: "Leave."

Fang Duobing couldn't help but muttered, "Can't you talk properly?"

Li Lianhua looked helplessly at Shen Haofeng, who gave him a helpless look and pushed him quickly. Li Lianhua said: "..."

The three of them arrived at the lotus pond.

"This is where the bodies were found three times."

Fang Duobing looked down and said, "Half of the grass here is long and slippery, and it is indeed an easy place to fall into the water. It doesn't seem to be anything strange, but it has been so long. If there were any clues, they would probably be gone by now. ”

"That's not necessarily true. For example, when you first arrived at Cai Lian Manor, you saw that it was easy to fall. How could the people living here keep losing their feet?" Li Lianhua said casually.

Fang Duobing was thoughtful, Di Feisheng rarely spoke, "Let's look around again."

Seeing that Li Lianhua didn't speak, Shen Haofeng said: "Let's go to Xue Yu Town." This is a method that many criminal investigation experts like to use. Nothing has been found in Cailian Village for the time being. From the people in the town, maybe Hear any clues.

They have lived in Xue Yu Town for so long, and they obviously know much more about Cailian's residence than outsiders like Li Lianhua.

"Okay." Li Lianhua nodded.

The four of them wandered around Xue Yu Town for a long time, but still couldn't find any useful clues. The people's impression of Cai Lian Manor was probably that of Lotus and several brides who died one after another.

But they attributed all the problems to the wedding dress and added a lot of mystery to the wedding dress. This obviously had no effect on Li Lianhua and the others who wanted to find out the truth.

"After searching for a long time, I still haven't found any useful clues." Fang Duobing sighed.

Looking at the restaurants around him, Li Lianhua said: "Let's just go to this one. We'll talk about the others later. Let's fill our stomachs first."

"How do you know how to eat?"

"Come here, try the local food, learn about the customs and customs, maybe there will be clues." Li Lianhua said.

Several people entered the restaurant.

“In the place of taverns and drinking establishments, there is the most gossip.”

Li Lianhua nodded, "A Fei, you are a little smarter than before." Fang Duobing said angrily: "Why don't you just ask for some news? Who wouldn't expect it? Waiter."

"Here you come, sir."

Fang Duobing ordered: "Get the best private room."

"Okay, right away."

Seeing that the waiter was about to lead the way, Li Lianhua hurriedly stopped the waiter and said, "No, we can just sit there. One meat and two vegetables, we are done."

The waiter looked at Fang Duobing and saw that he had no objection, so he hurriedly followed Li Lianhua's instructions.

Li Lianhua lowered her voice and said, "Young Master Fang, after all, it's your hard-earned money, so save some money."

This is too economical, four people, three dishes.

Before the four of them walked to the table over there and sat down, they heard the guest next to them say: "I heard that a few more bodies have disappeared in the barren mountains in the suburbs."

"What's all the fuss about? The newly buried corpse might have been picked up by some wild beast. It's happened so many times over the years."

"That's right. Speaking of strange things, another bride died in Cai Lian Manor recently. Do you know that she is very evil?"

Unexpectedly, he would hear what he wanted to hear so soon. After pouring the tea, Li Lianhua looked towards the table and said, "Brothers, did you mention Cai Lian Manor just now?"

"Yes, you are also here to enjoy the lotus?"

Li Lianhua nodded, "That's right. I would like to ask, is this Cai Lian Manor usually very hospitable?"

"In this Lotus Picking Manor, there is an endless stream of people who come here every year to admire the lotus. But Mr. Master, I advise you not to go there recently. Someone just died there, Chuoxie."

"None of the brides in Cailian Manor can survive until the day of their wedding. There are evil spirits at work."

Li Lianhua put down the teacup and pretended to be curious, "Is it so scary?"

"What about evil spirits and evil spirits? I think it might be that the owner of Cailian Village has a bad intention and God will punish him."

Ok?
Li Lianhua was shocked. Isn't this what she likes to listen to? "Then the temper of this village owner is really bad."

"That's right. The servants in the village are all disrespectful to each other. Anyone who disobeys him will be beaten to death." The speaker was filled with indignation. "I heard that Mr. Guo's first wife was also killed by him. It’s really not a thing to be forced to death.”

He and Fang Duobing looked at each other, and Li Lianhua said again: "In that case, why did Mrs. Xu marry him ten years ago?"

"This young master doesn't know something. I heard that Madam Xu is a happy wife. Someone will redeem his life and enjoy the glory and wealth. Who wouldn't want to?"

"Since then, the Guo family has changed their servants all over. I don't know if they want to hide something shameful."

While they were talking, a woman brought the dishes over and kindly reminded them, "Brothers, please stop talking behind each other's back."

"Why, why don't we let people talk about it? Look at their crazy people, I'm afraid they have been driven stupid, haha."

"I guess his honest and honest son will be there soon too."

While they were talking, Guo Fu walked in from outside and listened to all these people's words.

"Mr. Guo." Fang Duobing, who had eyes and ears in all directions, was the first to see Guo Fu and raised his hand to greet him.

Hearing the sound, Guo Fu turned around and saw Li Lianhua and others, and quickly saluted, "It turns out that they are here too."

Li Lianhua smiled and said, "Young Master Guo also came out to drink."

Guo Fu sighed, "My second uncle is sick again. He always likes to eat the eight-treasure duck here, so my father ordered me to come over and buy some. I didn't expect to meet a few people here."

"It's better to meet by chance than to invite. Let's come together." Li Lianhua extended an invitation to Guo Fu.

Guo Fu nodded and sat down.

After he sat down, the dishes for Li Lianhua's table were served. It was the same girl from before. When she saw Guo Huo, she hurriedly said, "Master Guo, the guests just said some unpleasant things. Please don't mind. These side dishes are my apology to you on their behalf."

"It's okay." After saying this to her, Guo Fu looked at Li Lianhua and the others, "It's our Cailian Village today, so we didn't greet them well."

Li Lianhua shook his head, "What the hell, if such an accident happens, Master Guo is still the saddest."

"The village is in chaos now. I'll invite you all to have a casual meal here." Guo Fu thought for a moment.

"How embarrassing."

Fang Duobing didn't care. "What's wrong with a simple meal? Let's have a piece of squirrel mandarin fish..." Fang Duobing ordered six or seven dishes in one go.

I don't want to spend my money, so what's the point of being polite about this opportunity to take advantage of a big business?
This time even Di Feisheng looked at him in surprise, still looking down on him. He didn't know that he didn't have any special skills. At least he was thick-skinned.

The girl informed the restaurant to prepare the dishes.

After waiting for a while, the dishes were served one by one, and the girl from before was responsible for serving the dishes. "I'm sorry, everyone, the restaurant has sold out the coriander today, so I gave you a beef dish with celery instead."

"It's okay, it's okay." Fang Duobing waved his hand. Master Fang is not a demanding person regarding these trivial matters. "Come on, come on, eat it while it's hot." He greeted the people at the table.

The restaurant's chef's cooking skills are quite good, and the guests and hosts enjoy the meal.

night.

Li Lianhua was writing poetry in his room. He promised to write a lotus poem to Guo Gan. But as soon as he finished writing the poem, he saw a figure on the door, someone was outside.

He immediately walked over and opened the door to see who was hiding there.

The moment the door opened, he was shocked to see Butler Jiang's face.

"It's you, Butler Jiang, it's so late, you..."

Before she finished speaking, Li Lianhua saw Butler Jiang holding some peach branches in his hand, dipping water from the bowl and spreading them on the doors and windows. "There are vengeful spirits here, there are vengeful spirits."

Li Lianhua: "..."

"It's not far from the place where the bride drowned. It's really scary." Li Lianhua sighed. When Butler Jiang was about to leave, he hurriedly stopped her, "Wait a minute, mother-in-law, do you still remember that ten years ago, the six-fingered weirdo was the number one This is the first time you’ve seen someone in the village?”

Butler Jiang said: "Ten years ago, that person appeared under your window inexplicably, like a ghost."

"..."

After asking the lonely Li Lianhua, he looked helpless. Fortunately, he didn't believe in ghosts and gods. Otherwise, the result of asking such a question and seeing the serious look of Butler Jiang exorcising evil spirits would only cause trouble for himself.

While Butler Jiang sprinkled water along the way to ward off evil spirits, Li Lianhua closed the door. (End of chapter)
