Chapter 10
The prefect and the imperial envoy were killed in Tokyo, and the emperor sent Dali Temple to Tokyo to investigate.And Xiao Ling, as the head of Tokyo at this time, naturally wants to accompany him, even if he can't find out why, at least he can stand up for himself.
Xiao Ling hoped that Lin Zhen would not contact this kind of matter involving officialdom, and Lin Zhen also knew that he was an idler, and following the past would only cause trouble, so he stayed in Xiao's mansion and watched in his room. Book and drink tea for a while.
But someone will come to disturb your leisure.
"Lin Zhen!" Yan Yi pushed open Lin Zhen's door without hesitation, and rushed in, "Let's go out and play!"
Lin Zhen shook his hand and spilled a few drops of tea. Even though he has been taking care of his junior since he was a child, he also has a headache for Yan Yi.He tried his best to smile kindly: "You are so old, why are you still childlike?"
Indeed, Yan Yi looks about the same age as Qin Yun, but according to Xiao Ling, this guy has lived at least three hundred years old, looks innocent and innocent on the outside, but is actually extremely cunning on the inside, showing the true colors of the fox clan.But Lin Zhen can't help but always regard Yan Yi as his little brother, and can't tell whether the mischievousness is nature or a disguise.
Yan Yi snorted, sat down, and patted the table with his hand: "It must be Canglong... Oh no, Xiao Ling told you bad things about me! Hmph, before he left, he came to warn me not to come to you! Really! Terrible!"
Lin Zhen asked curiously: "Canglong? Why do you call Xiao Ling Canglong?"
Yan Yi blinked, grinned and said foolishly: "It's nothing, I just gave him a fancy name for fun."
"How did you and Xiao Ling meet?"
Yan Yi didn't blush when he told a lie, and he quickly made up a decent story in his mind, "Oh, he came to Qi country a few years ago and wanted to take me in, so we don't know each other. Bar!"
Lin Zhen regretted, "Why didn't you get any harvest?"
Yan Yi laughed and said: "Of course, I am also the leader of the fox clan! How can I submit, I would rather die than obey! Hahahaha..."
Lin Zhen thought to herself, with Xiao Ling's temperament, if he met someone as brazen as you, wouldn't he beat you black and blue?
Imagining Yan Yi's embarrassment with a bruised nose and swollen face, Lin Zhen couldn't help showing a smile, and when he came back to his senses, he saw Yan Yi's face approaching suddenly, was startled, and reprimanded: "What are you doing!"
Yan Yi didn't retreat immediately, but looked at Lin Zhen carefully for a while, then retreated, and said with a smile: "It's really strange, when I saw you, I felt very kind... No, it can't be said to be kind... ..."
A feeling similar to awe arises spontaneously.
Yan Yi still had a smile on his face, but his eyes became unfathomable. He just leaned closer to smell and look, and he was sure that Lin Zhen was a mortal.I can only laugh at myself, is it because I am a little afraid of Xiao Ling, so I am also a little afraid of Lin Zhen?
At that time, Yan Yi didn't understand that this is a kind of nature of demons, innate, engraved in blood and soul - submission to the king.
Lin Zhen only thought that Yan Yi was talking nonsense again to amuse herself, and said indifferently: "This is really my honor."
Seeing that Lin Zhen obviously didn't want to respond to her cold tone, Yan Yi kept talking to Lin Zhen: "Lin Zhen, how old are you?"
"After the winter solstice this year, I will be 24."
"Oh..." Yan Yi elongated his voice, thoughtfully, and suddenly asked, "Why don't we go to the brothel?"
"Pfft——" Lin Zhen just spit out a sip of tea, thinking that this Yanyi is really the one who can't open the pot!He wiped the corner of his mouth, and refused with a serious face: "Go to you, forgive me."
"Okay, okay, why don't you go out with me to visit the head office?" Yan Yi was bored, lying on the table. If he showed his true shape at this moment, it must be a little fox with drooping ears. It's moldy, and the pain of missing my brother is haunting me, and I can hardly breathe!"
"..."
"Ah! I can't breathe anymore! Am I really going to die because of lovesickness? The object is not Ruhua Meijuan, but my cruel and stinky brother!" Yan Yi looked like she was about to cry.
Lin Zhen wanted to pour himself a cup of tea, but found that there was no water in the teapot, and felt a bit boring.Suddenly remembering the girl I saw in the small teahouse that day, I became interested and said, "Let's go, let's go to the teahouse for tea."
When Yan Yi heard that Lin Zhen agreed to go out with him, he was naturally overjoyed, but after going out, he just looked here and there by himself, teasing the girl here and teasing the kittens and puppies over there. Lin Zhen forgot all about going to the teahouse to listen to the song together, and said to Lin Zhen with a bitter face: "The teahouse is so boring, I don't want to go! Lin Zhen, go, tell me a place, I know Tokyo well." Come on, I'll wait for you outside later."
Lin Zhen had no choice but to take Yanyi. After telling where the small teahouse was, Yanyi hurriedly nodded and said that he knew, then turned around and went to buy candied haws from a seller of candied haws.
Without Yan Yi, Lin Zhen was also happy to have a quiet ear.
However, when Lin Zhen walked to the door of the small tea house, he happened to see a woman holding a qin wrapped in cloth and coming out of the door. Behind her was a waiter, muttering something behind her, and then left the woman alone At the door, I entered the tea house by myself.
The woman was all alone, with black eyebrows and phoenix eyes, a beautiful mouth and a beautiful nose, and she was brightly dressed in a water-green dress. Her figure looked a bit like the Lu Sanniang I saw a few days ago.
Seeing her standing alone at the door of the teahouse for a while, Lin Zhen looked up at the sky with a calm expression, but there was a chill in her gestures and gestures. Curious, she went up to talk to her: "Girl, you are... this teahouse Lu Sanniang who plays the piano?"
The woman didn't expect that Lin Zhen would come to talk to her, a look of surprise appeared on her face, but soon she had a faint look: "I'm not Lu Sanniang."
Lin Zhen was a little embarrassed. She didn't expect to admit the wrong person. Just as she was about to apologize, she heard the woman say, "Lu Sanniang was called me by those people for convenience. My name is Lu Xixun."
Lin Zhen smiled and said, "That's right. I listened to Miss Lu's playing and singing a few days ago, and I really appreciated it. I came here today because I want to enjoy it again."
Lu Xixun looked at Lin Zhen again, but was still very indifferent: "Master, it's a waste of time. I've been kicked out of the teahouse, so I won't sing anymore."
Lin Zhen was startled, it turned out that the waiter was chasing people away, "Why?"
Lu Xixun looked at Lin Zhen. She looked only fifteen or sixteen years old, but her eyes looked as if she had lived for decades.She said: "People in the world are in a coma, and they don't want to listen to the voices of warning people. They are willing to indulge in the melodious sounds of Huajie and Liuxiang. I, Lu Xixun, also don't want to play and sing for this group of drunk people."
As soon as these words came out, Lin Zhen was really shocked.Lu Xixun's words are sharp and explicit, and she is not afraid of being heard.Lin Zhen was filled with admiration, and just about to say something, Yan Yi's voice sounded from behind: "Lin Zhen! Stay away from that woman!"
As soon as the words fell, Yan Yi cast a spell and came to Lin Zhen's side, reached out and grabbed Lu Xixun's hand, his face was not as frivolous as before: "Lin Zhen, this guy is half-human, half-ghost!"
Lu Xixun's face changed, Lin Zhen was taken aback, and stretched out his hand to Lu Xixun's neck. Sure enough, there was warmth but no pulse. It was the body of a half-ghost!
Lu Xixun didn't struggle too much, and said with a sneer, "Yes, I'm half-human, half-ghost, what are you going to do? There are so many evildoers in Tokyo, why do you want me to come?"
Seeing her tone and eyebrows, Yan Yi felt familiar, and then felt her chest was hot, and when she opened the skirt, the soul-destroying beads were shining brightly.
"The soul-destroying pearl is on your body." Yan Yi stared at Lu Xixun in amazement, and stretched out his hand to test it, the slender fingertips were condensed with a faint red light.
At this time, Lu Xixun said coldly: "In the public, it's too conspicuous for you to do this. Let me go, let's find a quiet place to talk."
Yan Yi laughed and said, "Sister Bangui, let go if you say so? Don't you take the fox's head too seriously?"
As he said, he held Lu Xixun's hand harder, and Lu Xixun took the opportunity to shout, "Come on, there are disciples here who want to belittle me! Come on!"
There were people coming and going at the entrance of this teahouse. When Lu Xixun called out, many passers-by immediately looked at him, and some enthusiastic ones came over.
Yan Yi had to let go, but as soon as he let go, Lu Xixun dropped the piano and ran away.
Seeing this, Lin Zhen and Yan Yi didn't care too much, and hurried to catch up. They didn't expect to see Lu Xixun disappear in a wisp of smoke as soon as they turned the corner.
"Oh! She was let go!" Yan Yi was very irritable, scratching her head, not knowing what to do next.
Lin Zhen didn't expect that Lu Xixun turned out to be the murderer they had been looking for, and said in disbelief, "Miss Lu turned out to be... There must be some misunderstanding here."
Yan Yi raised his eyebrows: "Misunderstanding? Lin Zhen, look." As he spoke, he took Lin Zhen back to the door of the small tea house, picked up the piano that Lu Xixun had left behind, and opened the cloth bag to reveal the strings.
Lin Zhen was puzzled: "This is Miss Lu's piano, is there something wrong?"
Yan Yi laughed and said: "We beasts have much more sensitive noses than your mortals. There is blood on this piano. Although it is very slight, I can smell it very clearly."
Lin Zhen looked at the piano and found that there were three strings that were particularly new, "These three strings seem to have just been replaced..." And these three strings are arranged in order, the three with the highest pitch and the thinnest strings.
When Yan Yi heard the words, he also took a closer look, thought for a while, and suddenly said: "I know how those three jjj sisters died."
Lin Zhen was puzzled, looked at Yan Yi, and then at the strings. j□j died from a small hole in the neck, that small hole...could it be...he asked in surprise: "Could it be the strings?"
A mere silk string can pass through a person's throat and put him to death? !
Yan Yi laughed and said, "What's so difficult about this? Where do you think demons and ghosts are better than ordinary people? Isn't it power!"
Lin Zhen took a deep breath, "I never expected that I would find the murderer just like that."
Yan Yi patted Lin Zhen's shoulder: "There is fate and there is fate, you are the material to be a spiritual master. Let's go back now holding the piano, and go to find that woman together when Xiao Ling comes back."
Upon hearing this, Lin Zhen said anxiously: "How can that be done? By the time Xiao Ling comes back, Lu Xixun must have fled Tokyo long ago."
Yan Yi raised her eyebrows triumphantly: "Don't worry, she won't be able to get out of Tokyo. I actually poisoned her with my grip just now. I guess she is seriously injured right now, and she can't even walk."
The moment he grabbed Lu Xixun's hand for interrogation, the poison penetrated into Lu Xixun's body through his fingertips.
Yan Yi secretly sighed that Lin Zhen was really lucky, but he didn't know that it was not luck, but that Lin Zhen's original instinct was quietly revealed.
