Chapter 503 Go to the appointment
Yu Hanyan looked at Qin Yan, and there was no joy in his eyes, but more worried and afraid. She squeezed her lips and said with a complicated expression, "Congratulations, you are one step closer to the road to becoming a Taoist."
Qin Yan naturally saw her insincere words and asked, "You don't seem to be very happy?"
"Why should my family be happy?" Yu Hanyan sighed, "The closer you are to the road, the farther away you are from my home..."
"But if not..."
Yu Hanyan stretched out a finger against Qin Yan's lips and sealed the rest of his words. She smiled gently and nodded, "My family understands. Go out and don't let them wait."
When the two went out, they saw Gong Yunxiu leaning against the railing of the stairs and silently staring at the crowd going down.
Hearing the footsteps behind her, she didn't look back and said, "Senior Gu just came."
Qin Yan snorted coldly, "What is he doing here?"
"He said that tomorrow will be a good day, and he wants to invite Brother Qin to go fishing by the river in the west of the town."
Yu Hanyan's face changed slightly: "Fishing? When?"
"Tomorrow is the time."
Yu Hanyan turned his head to look at Qin Yan, who happened to be looking at her. Qin Yan's expression was very calm, but Yu Hanyan looked worried.
Gu Wuzhi specially invited Qin Yan to fish, which naturally would not be a sudden idle elegance. Qin Yan just got the map from the ghost house, and he came here. Did he want to force Qin Yan to hand over the map? Then he thinks too highly of himself!
Yu Hanyan's thoughts turned sharply. After a long time, he said in a low voice, "Let's go to Sanguzhuang to find Liu Xianzi!"
"Forget it! It's so late, it may not be safe on the way to Sanguzhuang. Qin Yan waved his hand and said, "I already owe two people to Miss Liu, but I don't want to owe a third one. There is no need to make a fuss. I'll just go alone tomorrow.
"Brother!" Yu Hanyan stamped his feet in a hurry.
"Don't worry. I have practiced five magical skills, which is no different from the Buddha's Bodhisattva. Sister, when have you heard of the Bodhisattva who was poisoned by mortals?
The next day, Qin Yan went out alone.
The sky is cool, the crabs are beautiful and the fish are fat, and it is a good season for fishing. Qin Yan bought a fishing rod and dug a box of earthworms by the way. Seeing that the time was coming, he walked leisurely to the west.
No matter what Gu Wuzhi thought, Qin Yan really only planned to fish.
When he arrived, Gu Wuzhi was already waiting by the river. The old devil sat on a big clean stone, his crutch was still beside him, holding a thin bamboo pole in his hand, looking at Qin Yan and smiling.
Grey clothes, bamboo hats, and old men have some of the style of ancient Yashi. However, as soon as he opened his mouth, this leisurely style was completely destroyed: "A man died in the gambling den yesterday."
Qin Yan walked over, found a place to sit down, nodded and said, "I heard that the six-finger thief is a good master."
"Isn't it strange that a good master was scared to death?"
"It's a little strange." Qin Yan looked at him and thought to himself that this was your masterpiece?
Gu Wuzhi saw his eyes and said leisurely, "I also felt strange, so I specially inquired about the maid of the six-finger thief. Haha, the result is really wonderful!"
Although Qin Yan was determined not to be soft on Gu Wuzhi, he couldn't help but be curious after listening to this sentence, so he said, "What a wonderful method?"
Gu Wuzhi touched her beard and smiled: "The maid slept until noon and didn't know that the host she served had an accident."
Qin Yan patted her thigh and shouted, "She was drugged!" In fact, he didn't have to exaggerate so much, but Gu Wuzhi hoped to see him like this and slowly shake out the burden proudly. Qin Yan was aroused by curiosity and had to cooperate with him.
Gu Wuzhi shook his head with a smile: "I walked around her room and checked all the clothes she wore and used bowls without any residue of medicine."
Qin Yan blinked and couldn't speak. He believed that the old devil not only looked at the clothes and cups and bowls, but also must have examined the woman's body deeply. At the thought of the scene of "a pear blossom pressing the begonia", he was not interested in holding it.
He lowered his head, took out a silk thread from the bamboo pole, and silently wore a buoy made of chicken feather stalks.
Gu Wuzhi raised his head, as if he was recalling the aftertaste of that night, or waiting for Qin Yan to speak. For a long time, he said slowly, "I asked the clerk in the store again: When did the six-finger thief return to the room? The guy answered better: When did he come back? He went out early yesterday and didn't come back at all. It's not just this guy, everyone else said so. He glanced at Qin Yan meaningfully and seemed to mutter to himself, "Even if a person can walk through the wall, can he hide the eyeliner of so many people in gambling?"
"I can't." Qin Yan finally opened his mouth.
"So how did the six-finger thief walk in and die in his room inexplicably?"
Qin Yan threw the fish hook into the river, meditated for a moment, and said, "Because the six-finger thief died the night before. The six-finger thief who went out in the morning is actually another person.
"It's an interesting guess!" Gu Wuzhi showed admiring eyes, "It's really rare to think of this without any news."
Qin Yan hated the appreciative tone and frowned, "Am I right?"
Gu Wuzhi nodded and smiled, "Because yesterday morning, after I came out of the ghost house, I happened to see the six-finger thief. At that time, he was still alive and said hello to me.
Qin Yan was stunned for a moment and looked at Gu Wuzhi in astonishment.
Gu Wuzhi's eyes fell on the buoy, as if waiting intently for the big fish to be hooked.
The river flows slowly, and the distant mountains are picturesque. The old poison stared at the sparkling water and seemed to have entered an invisible world.
In that scene, Qin Yan couldn't bear to disturb him, but finally couldn't help coughing, "Senior, do you know how the six-finger thief died?"
Gu Wuzhi smiled: "Before this morning, I was only 50% sure. But now I can be sure that nine times out of ten, this tragedy was done by an old friend.
Qin Yan's eyelids jumped. An old friend of poison... It seems to be another headache!
He humbly asked Gu Wuzhi for advice: "Which senior did Gu say?"
Gu Wuzhi sighed and said, "He is called Dan Xing. You probably haven't heard of this name.
"This..." is strange. Why have you never heard of such an arrogant and arrogant name before?
The name is the same as the fluorescent planet in the sky, representing turbulence and ominous. Every time he appears, it will bring a lot of blood and killing. Speaking of which, it is no worse than those famous demons. This is exactly why I asked you to come here. From now on, you should be careful of everyone around you, because they may be the embodiment of the star.
