Chapter 31 Taihe Academy
There were no ropes in the forest, so Yunxing pulled off the man's outer robe, tore it into thin ropes, and tied up the three men tightly.
Su Yan squatted aside and felt the pulse of the three people. He said with a worried look, "I think I was too harsh. I should have been gentler. It would be bad if it leaves any root of disease."
Her thoughts never stopped - "If I have to die, I have to wait until Brother Zhao finishes asking questions!"
Clouds are used to it.
After taking care of the three people, Su Yan didn't dare to provoke Yun Xing again. After thanking him, he obediently left the forest.
She noticed that Yunxing seemed to be on bad terms with the Chuyun Tower, and wanted to use this to win over Yunxing, but she didn't know that Yunxing could both save her and turn a blind eye to corrupt officials.
There is no such thing as black or white in the world. Su Yan just thought too superficially.
Now Su Yan no longer has any other thoughts, she just wants to keep her life.
Unexpectedly, Yun Xing followed her out of the forest.
Su Yan couldn't completely let down his guard against Yun Xing, and every step he took was torment.
Yunxing, however, walked slowly and leisurely behind her without saying a word.
Su Yan's heart was in turmoil - "Why is he following me? Is he going to kill me? No, he just saved me. If he wants me to die, wouldn't it be better to let them do it? What other purpose does he have? What value can I have to him? I..."
Yun Xing frowned and asked, "Do you know that there are other people following you?"
Su Yan looked around, "Are there others? Are they their accomplices?"
"I'm afraid it's two groups of people," Yun Xing said, "You're so young, but you've offended quite a few people."
Not far from the forest, there are several narrow paths leading to the mountain. There are high mountains all around, and if you really fall here, I'm afraid no one will find you.
The evening breeze was still warm, but Su Yan's heart felt chilly, as if the coldest time of winter had already arrived.
Su Yan hesitated and said, "They also want to silence me? I have always been honest, how could I offend anyone?"
Yun Xing was too lazy to argue with Su Yan about this issue. "These people's skills are much better than those of the previous few people. They are not ordinary people. Have you come into contact with people of status recently?"
Only people like this can send powerful people.
Hearing Yun Xing's words, a name popped up in Su Yan's mind, Shi Yangui.
Isn't this the most prestigious person she has come into contact with recently?
Su Yan glanced at Yun Xing secretly.
The half face under the mask did look very much like Shi Yangui, but when he saw Yun Xing again today and heard his voice, Su Yan could be sure that they were not the same person.
Su Yan shook his head and said, "I haven't come into contact with anyone."
Yun Xing glanced at Su Yan and walked forward silently.
The two of them went to the Su family, one in front and one behind.
The Su family's house is an independent small courtyard. The bright white moonlight covers the courtyard. Yun Xing walked to the gate and stopped.
Su Yan thought that he would stay in the academy for a few days, so he locked the door before leaving.
She frowned, walked over slowly, and looked at Yun Xing several times.
Yun Xing frowned, confused at first, then quickly realized something.
He looked towards the Su family courtyard and said calmly, "You said your home is in Taowu Village."
Su Yan was sure that he had never mentioned this matter.
Yun Xing is still an enemy to her, and she can't reveal any information about herself in front of the enemy. What's more, he not only knows that Su Yan lives in Taowu Village, but can also find the exact location of her home.
The sound of cicadas chirping continued in his ears. Su Yan pretended to believe Yun Xing's explanation and walked over to open the lock.
When Su Yan was about to walk in, Yun Xing suddenly said, "You know who is following you, right?"
The lie was exposed, Su Yan nodded, "It's probably General Shi's men, sent to protect me. General Shi and I are old acquaintances."
Before she finished speaking, Su Yan felt that the atmosphere became a little solemn, and she looked at Yun Xing.
Half of his face was covered by a mask, and his expression seemed unchanged, but Su Yan could feel that his current state was completely different from before.
Yun Xingren was in the capital, and perhaps he knew Shi Yangui, or perhaps there was already hatred between them.
Su Yan began to regret that he had said too much.
She pretended not to know and made way for Yun Xing. "Would you like to come in and sit down?"
Su Yan's invitation was no different from an order to expel him.
Yun Xing looked at her calmly, then really walked into the yard, walked to the stone table and sat down.
Although he was wearing black, his look was clear and elegant, which made his appearance even more charming and graceful.
There are Go pieces on the stone table and a chessboard is carved on the surface. Su Mao loves playing Go, and Su Yan is used to placing Go pieces. However, after so many years, no one has touched the two boxes of Go pieces.
Yunxing took out the black piece and looked at it.
Su Yan really didn't understand Yun Xing's strange behavior. She went into the house, took the token and put it away, planning to go back to the academy.
Although it is already late, if there are any new clues, we can know them immediately in the academy.
Yunxing in the yard was playing chess with him.
Su Yan glanced at the chessboard. She didn't know much about Go. She said, "I want to go back to the academy. You... remember to lock the door when you leave."
Yun Xing doesn't like to talk, and Su Yan doesn't expect him to reply, so he just leaves in silence.
Yun Xing said indifferently, "It's getting late, and the road is not safe."
"They won't leave, it shouldn't matter," Su Yan said, "If you've had enough fun, take the chess pieces back. These are my father's things."
A fire that year burned down the Su family, and this is one of the few things left.
Although he is not her biological father, Su Mao treats her sincerely, so Su Yan always wants to keep something as a memory.
Yun Xing put the chess piece back into the box, "Is there any reason why you must go back?"
Su Yan said: "The case is not over yet, I will not feel at ease if I don't go back."
"You are just a coroner," Yun Xing said, "catching the murderer is not your job."
Su Yan smiled and said, "I went to the autopsy to catch the murderer. If I can't find the murderer, what if there are new victims?"
Su Yan said this sincerely. No matter in the past or now, finding the real murderer and arresting the murderer has become a creed engraved in her bones.
If the murderer cannot be found, she will always feel sorry for the victim.
But Yun Xing was not moved at all, "So what if he shows up?"
Su Yan: “…”
This is a killer who doesn't care even if his country is destroyed and his family is ruined. It's really hard to understand.
Su Yan found it boring. "Do you want your family to become the target of the murderer? Never mind. Anyway, I have to go back. If you don't want to be caught, you'd better not hang around my house. General Shi once lived here and sent people here. If you meet him, I'm afraid he won't let you go."
Yun Xing didn't seem to be afraid, and asked calmly, "Why did Shi Yangui come?"
As expected, he knew that Shi Yangui was back.
Su Yan said: "How can I know such a secret? Anyway, I just need to achieve my goal."
"What is your purpose?"
Su Yan straightened his expression, "My parents were implicated innocently, so I have to find out the truth. I want to go back to you, you...you can do whatever you want."
Yun Xing looked at Su Yan.
Su Yan's back gradually faded away and merged into the night.
He lowered his head, looked at the chess piece in his hand, and curled his lips to reveal a bitter smile.
There was no curfew in the Zhou Dynasty, but the city gates had closing times.
Su Yan hurried and finally entered the city at the last moment.
The streets were quiet and the shops on the street had closed, so Su Yan felt more at ease.
The academy at this moment is completely different from the quiet town.
All the candles and oil lamps were on, and the constables guarding the door were holding torches, ready for action.
Seeing this, Su Yan realized that something happened in the academy. She took two quick steps and asked, "Brother, what happened in the academy?"
"Little coroner? You're here at last. Go and take a look! Another person is dead!"
The inside of the academy was in chaos.
Everyone gathered in the lecture hall. Both students and teachers had heavy expressions on their faces. Two constables were left guarding the door. Constable Zhao stood with his hands behind his back, pacing anxiously.
Seeing Su Yan rushing over, Captain Zhao lost his temper and almost cried. He couldn't stop sighing, "I really didn't expect the murderer to kill again. Wasn't she seeking revenge for what happened back then? Yin Yuan and Cheng Wenshan are both dead, but she still... Oh! Su girl, is there something wrong with our inference?"
Su Yan glanced inside the lecture hall.
The teachers are all here, but what is missing are... students.
Su Yan asked: "Could the person who was killed be one of those three people?"
Captain Zhao looked solemn, "It's Wen Xufeng."
Wen Xufeng, Di Jun and Xu Yang were all suspects in Su Yan's mind. Now that Wen Xufeng has been killed, there are only a few suspects left.
"When did it happen? Where were Di Jun and Xu Yang when Wen Xufeng was murdered?"
Captain Zhao said, "They... Well, I know you suspect them, but girl Su, you are really wrong this time. They all have alibis!"
