Chapter 2121 Taihe Academy

Su Yan understood Yun Zhou's mentality as "a person in a high position fighting crickets."

He didn't care about Cheng Wenshan's death, or even whether he would be identified as the murderer. He wanted to hear Su Yan talk, but he was just teasing her.

Su Yan made a conclusion - it was indeed despicable that they regarded human life as worthless.

She was about to explain, but when she looked up, Yun Zhou's face had turned as black as charcoal.

Especially the right hand holding the throwing knife, the fingers were clenched so tightly that they turned white.

Su Yan complained in his heart - what a weird person, he gets angry at the slightest provocation, this kind of person should not be provoked.

After thinking it over, Su Yan smiled obediently, "Of course, I will tell you everything you want to know!"

Yun Zhou: “!!”

This bastard girl!

He looked at Yun Xing with a dark face. If Yun Xing was not there at this moment, he would definitely send the flying knife to her throat.

It is most satisfying to cut the white and tender throat.

Unfortunately, Yunxing didn't agree.

Yun Zhou's dissatisfaction with Su Yan gradually shifted to Yun Xing.

Yun Xing is the weirdest person even in Izumo Tower.

He doesn't like to socialize with others and has almost no friends in the building. Yun Zhou has been carrying out missions with him for many years, but he is unable to understand his thoughts. He only knows that he is arbitrary and never pays attention to his opinions.

What’s even more annoying is that although Yunxing is arbitrary, he never makes mistakes when doing things, but he is the one who is always criticized by the OP.

Occasionally Yun Zhou wanted to get rid of him during the mission, but unfortunately he was no match for Yun Xing.

The mission in Anping Town was a tough job and few people were willing to take it on. It was Yunxing who took it on on his own initiative.

He was a passive person who rarely took the initiative to accept tasks, and was often scolded by the host for this. However, he was the sharp blade of Izumo Tower, and even the host had to be patient.

Yun Zhou felt strange from the beginning.

Now he could clearly destroy the files and return to Beijing with Cheng Wenshan's head to report, but Yun Xing not only delayed taking any action, he hid in a secret room instead.

If they are discovered one day, they will be punished.

Yun Zhou suppressed his anger and looked at Yun Xing with a complicated expression.

What exactly does he want to do?

Su Yan had no idea what Yun Zhou was thinking, and she had already calmly become the "cricket" being played with. She put on Cheng Wenshan's clothes one by one, "There are several bruises on the body of the deceased, which were injuries sustained during his lifetime. The two larger bruises are on the back and abdomen of the deceased. Judging from the shape, they should have been kicked by the murderer. In addition, the deceased's wrist bone is fractured, and there are cracks on the kneecap. These can all indicate that the deceased had a fight with the murderer, or in other words, the deceased struggled and the murderer hunted."

Yun Zhou's mouth twitched, and he said indifferently: "So what?"

"This..." Su Yan put down the tools in his hand, "By examining the wound, we can infer what happened to the deceased before his death."

"Oh? That's not right. You said the victim's back and abdomen were injured by the murderer. Could it be that the murderer had abused the victim? Otherwise, how could there be such marks?"

Su Yan denied, "That's not the case. Judging from the fractures of Master Cheng's bones, he must have been hit hard on the back of his head from behind, and his body fell forward, with his wrists supporting the ground and his knees hitting the ground. He was not dead yet, but was running forward, so there were traces of friction on his sleeves and the outside of his robe. But the murderer didn't want to let Master Cheng go, so he chased him. Master Cheng had nowhere to go and faced the murderer head-on, and the murderer hit him hard again."

Su Yan's speech really brought the scene of that day to life.

Yun Zhou was unconsciously attracted to Su Yan and asked, "Can this help us find the murderer?"

"Of course not based on just these, but since the deceased had fought with the murderer, there would be traces left," Su Yan raised Cheng Wenshan's right hand, "Look carefully at yourself, you can see human tissue left on it... I mean the blood and meat inside? In short, Master Cheng scratched the murderer, and the murder happened not long ago. If we check now, we will definitely find something."

Yun Zhou raised his eyebrows slightly, "This seems to have nothing to do with what you just said. Anyone can see that."

Su Yan was tired of squatting, so he simply sat on the ground, propped up his head and thought for a long time, and said: "I know it has nothing to do with it, but I was wondering, what kind of mood did Master Cheng feel when he faced the murderer? He seemed to trust the murderer and dared to leave his back to him?"

"Why not?" Yun Zhou snorted, "What is Cheng Wenshan's status? In Anping Town, how many people dare to act insolently in front of him? Even the county magistrate of Anping Town is nothing but a sesame seed in front of him."

Yun Zhou's words confirmed Su Yan's guess. These two people came from the capital, so naturally they looked down on the small county magistrate.

Su Yan first glanced at Yun Xing, and seeing that he didn't seem interested in their topic, he continued, "Master Cheng's status is indeed high, but the problem is that Master Cheng's behavior that day was abnormal. Even though he was assassinated by the two of you, he still sent the constable away. I guess he wanted to meet someone."

"This person is the one that Master Cheng risked his life to meet. This shows that this person is extremely important to Master Cheng, and... Master Cheng is not afraid of him."

Yun Zhou raised his eyebrows, "You mean, Cheng Wenshan is in a high position, so he is not afraid of the murderer and does not think the murderer will harm him?"

Su Yan nodded, "The students of Taihe Academy all respect Master Cheng, and he is young, unlike several other teachers who are in their prime."

When it comes to treating the students of his own academy, Cheng Wenshan's attitude is probably a bit higher.

"After all this talk, we still can't identify the murderer?" Yun Zhou stood up lazily and threw the flying knife to Su Yan. "I think you should change your career and join us. Autopsies are boring."

Su Yan was speechless for a moment - "I'm looking for the murderer, you are the murderer, how can it be the same..."

"You girl!"

"Okay," Yun Xing opened his eyes for the first time and glanced at Su Yan, "The one who killed Yin Yuan and Cheng Wenshan is the same person?"

Su Yan said: "The possibility is very high."

He stood up and walked over, his eyes swept over Cheng Wenshan's body calmly, "Yunzhou, send the head back."

"Why?!" Yun Zhou was very confused. "Yun Xing, we can just take our things and leave. Why are you still staying here?"

Yun Xing said calmly: "Send it now."

Yun Zhou stood up suddenly, grabbed Cheng Wenshan's head reluctantly, and walked out carrying him.

Su Yan was frightened by this scene - the wig was sewed by her later, so she had to make sure it was not torn.

Su Yan watched Yun Zhou walk to the lacquerware in front of the stone gate. He saw him turn the first lacquerware three times to the left, and then turn the second lacquerware one circle to the right. The stone gate slowly opened.

Is this the way out?

but……

Su Yan looked at Yun Xing with some surprise.

At this moment, Yun Xing was standing beside her, with his arms casually crossed, and seemed to be looking in the same direction as her.

He was tall to begin with, and Su Yan was sitting at the moment, so when he looked at Yun Xing, he felt even more oppressive.

Especially when he saw the various hidden weapons on his waist, Su Yan even shuddered.

Su Mao's kung fu was pretty good, and he was particularly attentive when teaching her.

In his early years, Su Yan was lazy and always wanted to slack off, but Su Mao never gave in on this matter.

Thanks to Su Mao, Su Yan can now protect himself against most people he meets, but these two are obviously martial artists.

In other words, he is used to killing people.

Su Yan was very afraid of him.

Not only was she afraid of his skills, but what she didn't understand was why he didn't stop her even though he knew she would see the way out.

Could it be that he had no intention of letting her get out alive? That was possible.

Just as Su Yan was staring at him nervously, wondering how he would send her to see the King of Hell, Yun Xing's eyes suddenly glanced over.

Su Yan forced a smile, "I can... use some methods to cover up the smell of the corpse, will you let me out?"

Yun Xing did not respond. He walked to the cabinet next to the Arhat couch, casually took out the hemp rope, and then walked to Su Yan.

Su Yan stepped back and hid a dissection knife in his sleeve. "You don't want to tie me up, do you?"

Yun Xing ignored Su Yan. He grabbed Su Yan's arm and dragged her in front of him. He then put a hemp rope around Su Yan's neck and tied her up neatly.

Yunxing has long fingers with distinct joints, and thin calluses on his palms and knuckles. His palms are icy cold, like plum blossoms in deep winter.

They were very ruthless when tying her up, with the rope tied almost as tight as possible, causing her to feel burning pain all over her body.

After tying Su Yan up like a dumpling, Yun Xing threw her aside and ignored her. He went to the desk, found an empty space, and lay down with his arms as a pillow.

The black clothes almost blended into the darkness, but his fair skin made his profile look even more delicate.

If they met in the capital, Su Yan would rather believe that he was the son of a wealthy family.

Yunzhou obeyed Yunxing, and Yunxing never said much, so Su Yan should be more afraid of him. But for some reason, Su Yan felt that it seemed safer to be with Yunxing than with Yunzhou.

Yun Xing closed his eyes and did not move for a long time.

After Yunzhou came back, he cursed a few words in his heart, but he didn't dare let Yunxing know. He happily went to sleep next to the Arhat couch.

It was impossible to estimate the time in the secret room. It was already dark when Su Yan arrived at Cheng Wenshan's room. It must be the late night now.

Su Yan sat beside Cheng Wenshan's body, staring at the oil lamp on the wall, not wanting to sleep at all.

She didn't have an accurate grasp of the time, so she just held on until Yun Zhou and Yun Xing were completely silent, then carefully took out the knife hidden in her sleeve.

Yunxing tied the rope quite tightly, and the blade almost grazed Su's skin. Fortunately, she was very familiar with the scalpel, and autopsy was a delicate job, so she was not scratched.

After cutting the rope, Su Yan confirmed again and again that Yun Xing and the other man had not woken up before he got up carefully.

She leaned against the screen and tiptoed towards the stone gate.

Passing by the desk, Su Yan glanced at Yun Xing. He was still sleeping in the same position as before, and it seemed that nothing had changed that night.

Su Yan temporarily suppressed the doubts in his mind and wondered whether the sound of the stone door would wake the two of them up.

Even if the risk is extremely high, I have to give it a try. Yun Zhou looks like a ruthless person, and Yun Xing...

Su Yan made up his mind, but did not go directly towards the stone gate, but went around to the stone bookshelf.

The bookshelf was piled with files. Su Yan walked closer and found that there were small marks on each shelf.

However, most of these markings are symbols that Su Yan cannot understand. I am afraid that only Cheng Wenshan himself can understand their meaning.

Su Yan took out one of the files.

The handwriting on the files matches that of Cheng Wenshan himself, so these files must be Cheng Wenshan's masterpieces.

The book Su Yan took out had a string of names written on it. She turned another page and found that it seemed to be a list of children in Ciyou Village. It detailed the name, origin, and... content about their bodies of each child.

For example, height, weight, and even... measurement.

Behind two of the girls, there were two unfamiliar names that Su Yan did not recognize.

Su Yan was horrified by what he saw.

Why do the files record the children's physical conditions so clearly? What is their purpose?

Su Yan picked up another file.

This time, a name Su Yan recognized appeared in the file - Chen Ri.

It turned out that Chen Ri was a minister from the capital, who was ordered to build a temple, but it was not an imperial order but an order from the chief eunuch in the palace.

Now all power in the world is in the hands of eunuchs, and it seems that Chen Ri is the eunuch's man.

Su Yan was about to continue reading when he suddenly heard a rustling sound in his ears.
