When the book-traveling little detective meets the two-faced prince

Chapter 220 The Sun Shines

When he heard the three words "Tian Di Pavilion", Liu Yunhe's eyes, which were full of energy and pride, froze instantly, and his eyes couldn't help but widen a little.

After a brief pause, his gaze began to move again, filled with incredible surprise. The light in his eyes was even brighter than before, and it seemed as if his eyes were about to fly out, almost growing on the body of the fake Jiang Lian'an.

Not only Liu Yunhe, but everyone present also turned their eyes to this fake Jiang Lian'an.

Lin Lezhi himself is no exception.

Everyone knows the reputation of Tiandi Pavilion in the martial arts world. It is a well-known and upright sect, truly famous throughout the world.

More than three months have passed since I heard Liu Yunhe talk about Tiandi Pavilion in Linnan Prefecture.

Following the clues in the painting, all the way from Linnan Prefecture to Cangshui Prefecture, Lin Lezhi heard a lot of people praising the Tiandi Pavilion, which was well-received.

Although he didn't write about this in the book.

But let’s be honest.

When Tiandi Pavilion became famous in the world, the original owner Jiang Lian'an was nowhere to be found.

but……

Compared to this, Lin Lezhi subconsciously looked towards where Guan Ziheng was.

Unlike others, Guan Ziheng did not look in the direction of the fake Jiang Lian'an, but kept his eyes fixed on himself, as if he had not yet recovered from the shock of confessing his identity.

Lin Lezhi knew that Guan Ziheng's mood at this moment must be like a tangled mess of threads, with astonishment mixed with confusion, and anger in his heart.

They had agreed to accompany each other on the journey, but he had always kept it a secret from Guan Ziheng and had never confessed to him the identity of the original owner of this body.

Therefore, Lin Lezhi felt a little guilty.

When his eyes met Guan Ziheng's, Lin Lezhi wanted to laugh, but the smile retreated when it reached his lips, and he only revealed an ugly and awkward expression that was both funny and embarrassing.

Feeling guilty, Lin Lezhi couldn't help but pursed his lips slightly, then looked away with evasive and apologetic eyes.

When he looked away, the guilt in his eyes became even deeper.

So much so that when he looked at the fake Jiang Lian'an, he could not find the calm and energetic state he had when he confronted the fake Jiang Lian'an before.

I can only wait and explain it in detail to Guan Ziheng later.

If Guan Ziheng was really angry and beat and scolded me, I deserved it.

Lin Lezhi looked at the fake Jiang Lian'an who was free and easy and graceful. Before Lin Lezhi could ask, Liu Yunhe could no longer contain his excitement and blurted out: "Tian Di Pavilion! Are you...are you Chi Feibai?!"

His excitement was beyond words, and Liu Yunhe spoke in a loud voice with a little stuttering.

This naughty little brat was probably so excited that his brain stopped working, which made Lin Lezhi want to hold his forehead, but in front of so many people, Lin Lezhi still held back.

Liu Yunhe had mentioned the Tiandi Pavilion to him when he was in Linnan Prefecture. Combined with his own experience in the martial arts world over the past three months, Lin Lezhi learned a lot about the Tiandi Pavilion.

Heaven and earth are witnesses, and injustice can be cleared.

Chi Feibai, who founded this pavilion, once swore that as long as the Tiandi Pavilion existed, all the injustices in the world would be cleared up one by one.

Chi Feibai founded Tiandi Pavilion thirteen years ago.

In terms of age, Lin Lezhi thought of someone in his mind, but it was not easy to recognize him arbitrarily.

Lin Lezhi looked at Liu Yunhe and said in a joking but calm and rational tone: "According to his age, Chi Feibai should be in his mid-thirties and approaching the age of forty. This knight is so young and handsome, he should not be Chi Feibai."

Hearing this, Liu Yunhe scratched his head in embarrassment, laughed a few times and said, "Sorry, it's... I was too excited."

Lin Lezhi smiled faintly with a look of helplessness yet understanding.

"As expected of Detective Jiang, he is really meticulous."

The fake Jiang Lian'an praised with a smile, his eyes showing his admiration for Lin Lezhi.

"Thank you for your kindness. Compared with the Tiandi Pavilion, I am just a layman." Lin Lezhi looked at the fake Jiang Lian'an and nodded slightly and asked, "May I ask your name, knight?"

The fake Jiang Lian'an smiled with a confident look on his face, and said in a sonorous and powerful voice: "Luo Zhifeng."

"Luo Zhifeng!" Liu Yunhe said with surprise, "He is Chi Feibai's chief disciple. He has followed Chi Feibai and solved many strange cases since he was young!"

Hearing this, Luo Zhifeng leaned over Lin Lezhi's body, stuck his head out, and said with a playful smile: "Not bad, young man, I didn't expect you to know so much about my deeds."

Receiving Luo Zhifeng's direct gaze, Liu Yunhe's face immediately turned red, and then he realized that he was being impolite, and hurriedly clasped his fists and said respectfully: "I... I have always admired and respected the Tiandi Pavilion, so I have inquired about a lot of things about the Tiandi Pavilion. It is my honor to meet Senior Luo today!"

Seeing Liu Yunhe's well-behaved appearance, Lin Lezhi actually found it rare and could clearly see Liu Yunhe's admiration for the Tiandi Pavilion.

Just ...

Why aren't you so polite to me?

Lin Lezhi complained in his heart.

"That's it~"

Luo Zhifeng responded to Liu Yunhe with a smile, then he straightened his body again, looked at Lin Lezhi and said, "When it comes to investigating strange cases, I have only learned the basics, which is far inferior to my master. In the past few days, I have met Brother Lin. Brother Lin is calm and composed in the face of things, and his exquisite methods of investigating cases have opened my eyes. I deeply understand the truth that there are always people better than you. "

As he spoke, Luo Zhifeng suddenly thought of something, and quickly changed his words with a smile: "No, now the name should return to its original owner, and Brother Lin should be called Brother Jiang."

Lin Lezhi smiled and said, "The name is just a title, Brother Luo can call me whatever you want."

"I am open-minded and straightforward. I like to make friends with free-spirited people like Brother Jiang. I hope Brother Jiang will not despise me."

"How could that be? Brother Jiang said exactly what I wanted to say."

Hearing this, Luo Zhifeng laughed heartily, and the people around him finally felt relieved.

This matter went smoothly, but Xiao Yihuo did not relax. His eyes became darker, like a deep black pool, as if they could swallow everything in his eyes.

Due to maintaining this expression for a long time, the wrinkles between Xiao Yihuo's brows became more and more obvious, as if they were fixed between his eyebrows.

"what is going on!"

Cheng Su suddenly spoke, breaking the hard-earned relaxed atmosphere.

Cheng Su frowned and stared at Luo Zhifeng with serious eyes. His cold expression urged Luo Zhifeng to tell the truth quickly.

Seeing this, Luo Zhifeng put away his playful attitude and said seriously, "Ten days ago, County Magistrate Chang sent a letter to Tiandi Pavilion by carrier pigeon, asking for help from Tiandi Pavilion, but the letter did not explain the reason, only saying that the situation was urgent. It was only when I rushed to Cangshui Prefecture that I found out what County Magistrate Chang was asking for."

Luo Zhifeng paused, his attitude turned serious, his eyes deepened as he said, "He said he wanted me to help him investigate the disappearance of the villagers in Huaifeng Village eleven years ago."

Luo Zhifeng looked at Lin Lezhi with an expression of appreciation and admiration, "Just as Brother Jiang inferred, I don't know what Chang Feizhang is going to do specifically, I only know part of his plan. Wu Sanshan will die under the boat the day after the Lantern Festival, which is also beyond his plan. The reason why he brought phosphorus powder to the island is that he wanted to use the Yin Fire to lead us to discover the burial place of the people of Huaifeng Village, find out the real murderer who killed the people of Huaifeng Village, and solve the truth of that year. So I have been helping him."

"I never thought he would commit murder."

Luo Zhifeng's eyes darkened, and he said with regret and guilt, "I promised to help him solve the case, and maybe the real murderer is someone else. Therefore, I didn't tell anyone about this before finding out the truth."

"I went to the temple to find him and ask him about it. I didn't expect to meet Brother Jiang and Master Xiao there. Detective Jiang is indeed as smart as his reputation says. He solved the mystery of the lights in Huaifeng Village two months ago with just those little details. I am ashamed of myself."

After being told this by Luo Zhifeng, Lin Lezhi felt embarrassed and laughed awkwardly: "I just accidentally stepped on empty space, it was just a coincidence, haha..."

After that, Luo Zhifeng faced everyone, clasped his fists and said, "Because of my personal mistake, everyone is in danger and frightened. It was my fault for not considering it carefully and concealing it. I apologize to everyone here."

"You promised to help Chang Feizhang solve the case, why did you pretend to be Jiang Lian'an?"

Cheng Su still had doubts about Luo Zhifeng and asked in a deep voice.

"Well..." Luo Zhifeng slightly stretched out the ending of the sentence, and then he looked a little embarrassed, and said with a bit of a broken jar in mind: "It was proposed by Magistrate Chang and me."

"Why?" Cheng Su asked, his eyes darkening.

"The murderer showed up here back then, he must have come prepared. I'm worried that the murderer will be on guard if a helper appears beside County Magistrate Chang for no reason, and he's not from Cangshui Prefecture. The deeds of Tiandi Pavilion are well known in the martial arts world. If I admit my identity openly, there will be the same risk. I might as well change my identity."

"Firstly, Jiang Lian'an is a rising star in the underworld. He solved two cases not long ago, which earned him the trust and praise of the people. However, not many people know what he looks like, so it is not difficult for him to impersonate him, and it can also confuse the murderer. Mixing the real and the fake to make the murderer unable to figure out the truth is also a good strategy."

"Secondly..." Luo Zhifeng hesitated and said embarrassedly: "I think it will be more interesting this way. I am really ashamed..."

Luo Zhifeng also knew that what he did was wrong, and his voice became much softer in the second half of the sentence.

"However, I didn't expect that Brother Jiang would also come here." Luo Zhifeng bowed to Lin Lezhi again and apologized, "I really offended Brother Jiang that night. It was not my intention to make Brother Jiang's injuries worse. I hope Brother Jiang will not be angry with me."

"Brother Luo doesn't know that I was injured before. Ignorance is not a fault. It's not an offense. Besides, Brother Luo is also investigating the case."

When Luo Zhifeng mentioned the injury on Lin Lezhi's shoulder, Liu Yunhe's eyes, which had been shining, dimmed in an instant. He looked at Lin Lezhi's shoulder, with guilt in his eyes.

Lin Lezhi thought for a moment, his eyes puzzled, and asked Luo Zhifeng for an answer: "I think I covered it up very well, how did Brother Luo detect me?"

He did not wear blue clothes, always used his real name, and never showed up in public.

How did Luo Zhifeng recognize him?

"Brother Jiang is indeed hiding very well. If I didn't know more than others, I wouldn't have recognized Brother Jiang."

Hearing Luo Zhifeng say this, Lin Lezhi's gaze moved slightly downwards to look at the peace knot hanging on his body.

The one on his body belongs to Xiao Yihuo. When Xiao Yihuo took off his clothes for himself, he did not untie it. Luo Zhifeng had intentionally mentioned the peace knots on both of their bodies before.

Could it be that this is the trap of the Ping An knot?

Can……

This doesn't make sense, because the custom of tying a peace knot is not unique to Changluan County, but originated from the Northern Qi Dynasty.

Don't determine your identity based on a similar style of peace knot.

There must be something else.

Lin Lezhi's brain was working rapidly, wondering where he had been exposed.

A few moments.

Lin Lezhi's eyes suddenly froze, as if he had thought of something.

At the moment when his eyes froze, Luo Zhifeng also cast his gaze to Lin Lezhi's hair.

The plum blossom hairpin tied with a thin red thread, under the sunlight, makes the winding and hanging red thread more bright and dazzling.
