Sweet as candy

Knowing that Fu Rong lost his beloved disciple, the Kongshan faction was packed with people who came to mourn.

They can be regarded as a prestigious sect in the arena, and as soon as this incident happened, it immediately caused an uproar.

One must know that Ji Hua was the most beloved disciple of Fu Rong, the leader of the Kongshan School. No matter what the murderer's original purpose was, he, as Liang Zi, had formed an alliance with the Kongshan School.

"I went to take a look today. The room is densely packed. I don't believe it if they really come to care. I think they are just idle and curious, and they come to add trouble to Fu Rong."

Xue Shiji said: "This matter has been going on for so many days, and there has been a lot of noise. There are rumors in the world, saying that someone deliberately wanted to give Fu Rong a bad reputation, so he took the knife on his most beloved disciple."

Dark clouds billowed outside, and the room was so dull that it was hard to breathe. Xiao Lang opened the window and turned to look at him: "The rumors in the rivers and lakes should not be believed."

"Who knows what's going on." Xue Shiji sighed, without losing the meaning of regret in his words: "This Ji Hua is really pitiful. Those disciples said that he is friendly, has a good talent in martial arts, and Fu Rong loves him very much. He was at the time when the spring breeze was in full swing, who knew that he would end up in such a miserable end overnight."

"I heard that during this period of time, Fu Rong called all the disciples who were familiar with him to interrogate alone. Perhaps he also suspected that some people were jealous."

Xiao Lang pondered for a while, then slowly said: "I always feel that there may be some connection between this matter and the Jiangnan case."

"Ah?" Xue Shiji was startled: "No way..."

Although both of them had their hearts dug out, Jiangnan and Haoran City were far apart, how could it be such a coincidence that they both ran into each other?

"Could it be that the murderer has some fate with us? Why does he go wherever we go..."

Xiao Lang glanced here, Xue Shiji knew that he had made a slip of the tongue, and hurriedly poohed twice: "No, look at my stupid mouth, I mean, this fact is a bit too much a coincidence."

"I also find this point strange." Xiao Lang said: "Now, you write a letter to the Jiangnan branch and ask them to investigate that fool who was killed."

Xue Shiji responded, suddenly remembered something, hesitated for a while, and said: "But... Brother Xiao, didn't that fool's heart be found in a dog's stomach? If it was really done by the same person, then tell me, Ji Hua Will his heart also..."

Xiao Lang only paused, then smiled and said: "Even so, should we also call the dogs in the neighborhood to interrogate?"

However, this reminded him of one thing: since this person took a lot of effort to take out the human heart, where would he put it?

He decided to take a trip himself.

Sure enough, there were crowds in the Kongshan sect, and when Fu Rong learned that he was here, he just thought he was here to express his condolences like those outside, and only waved his hands to let the disciples entertain him, but he didn't interfere much.

Xiao Lang declined the move of the disciple who led the way for him to report, covered his face, and walked in from the side of the crowd.

After such an unfortunate incident happened, the Kongshan Sect was overwhelmed. Occasionally, when I met a few disciples, they all lowered their heads and looked hurried.

Xiao Lang asked someone about where Ji Hua lived before he was alive, and walked around the outside carefully, but found nothing unusual.

Just as he was about to leave, a small exclamation suddenly came from behind him.

Xiao Lang turned his head and saw a petite girl standing behind her. A small wooden box in her hand had dropped to the ground, and the jewelry was scattered all over the ground with a bang, and she was lowering her head to pick it up in a panic.

Xiao Lang stepped forward to help someone pick it up together, the girl lowered her eyes and said a word of thanks in a low voice.

It wasn't until she raised her head and saw Xiao Lang's face that a trace of astonishment appeared in her eyes: "You are... President Xiao?"

Xiao Lang felt that her appearance was somewhat familiar, as if he had seen her somewhere before.

After thinking about it carefully, I remembered that, by the way, she was standing behind Fu Rong in the government that day.

This must also be a disciple who is somewhat close to Fu Rong, Xiao Lang smiled slightly, and returned the hairpin he picked up in his hand to her: "Young lady?"

"My name is Songyu." The little girl's voice was soft and weak: "That day, that day we met at the government's place."

"Ah." Xiao Lang nodded: "Miss Songyu, where are you going?"

It was originally a polite question, but Song Yu's movements became suspiciously stiff, the hands holding the box were slightly tense, and the knuckles bulged.

Xiao Lang sensitively sensed something was wrong—at this juncture, he approached the place where Ji Hua lived furtively, and his eyes wandered, thinking that he knew there was a mystery behind it.

"I, I intend to..." Songyu is probably not a person who can lie, Xiao Lang just asked such a question, and her eyes turned red with anxiety, and she didn't know how to explain it to herself.

Xiao Lang sighed, and tried to slow down his voice, "Don't be afraid, I won't hurt you."

"Do you know something that may be related to Ji Hua's murder?"

Song Yu's face turned pale in an instant, and Xiao Lang said again: "Don't worry, I just want to find out the murderer who killed him. This murderer is very cruel, and the Wulin League will definitely catch him. If you involve yourself, I promise, I will try my best to make you considerate."

"No..." Songyu shook her head, bit her lips lightly and said, "I'm not afraid of this."

She hesitated for a moment, and finally mustered up the courage to look up at Xiao Lang: "It's just that I don't have any real evidence, I just feel that... something was wrong before Ji Hua disappeared. President Xiao, are you willing to believe me?" ?"

"As long as you say it, I will believe it." Xiao Lang knew that with her appearance of falling down at the first blow, if she said something she didn't trust, she would scare people away, so she could only comfort her first: "How about this, It's not convenient to talk here, can you take me to a place that you think is safe enough?"

Probably seeing his gentle tone, Songyu gradually stopped being so trembling. She glanced at the wooden box in her hand, then at the courtyard behind Xiao Lang, gritted her teeth and said, "Okay."

She took Xiao Lang back to her room, there were so many people who came to express their condolences recently, most of the disciples were transferred to the front yard, so no one nearby was seen.

Putting down the wooden box in his hand, Songyu poured a glass of water for Xiao Lang.

Xiao Lang nodded slightly, his eyes locked on the eye-catching wooden box, and said softly: "Miss Songyu is holding this wooden box, is she going to Ji Hua's house?"

Songyu nodded, and unfolded the box in front of Xiao Lang, inside were hairpin earrings for women and the like.

Songyu picked up a pearl pendant, rubbed it gently with her hand reluctantly: "These... are all given to me by Ji Hua."

Will take the initiative to give jewelry to the girl's house, the relationship between the two is by no means ordinary.

Xiao Lang said: "You are..."

Songyu blushed and said shyly, "We are in love with each other."

Xiao Lang nodded, and then frowned: "I heard that head Fu has already interrogated the person who has a good relationship with Ji Hua alone. If that's the case, have you told him everything you know?"

"I..." Songyu was stunned, her hand dropped as if she lost her strength, and the pearl pendant rolled under the table.

Xiao Lang picked it up for her, Songyu quickly wiped off the dust on the surface with his clothes, and then said: "The head will not believe this."

"Oh?" Xiao Lang asked, "Why?"

"Because this matter involves his own son." A tear came from the corner of Songyu's eyes: "Besides, I was just guessing, and I told the head of the house without full confidence that he would definitely get angry and drive me out of the house. "

"I can't leave here. Apart from here, there is no place where Ji Hua's shadow remains."

Touched by the sad matter, Songyu became more and more uncomfortable as she talked, and sobbed softly while lying on the table.

Xiao Lang patted her on the shoulder lightly: "Miss Songyu, don't worry, just tell me the whole thing, and I will investigate for you. If it is true, we can avenge Ji Hua. Misunderstand, and you won't be kicked out."

After comforting for a while, Songyu finally recovered, revealing a pair of red eyes.

She wiped the tears from her cheeks, and gasped slightly while speaking: "Before Ji Hua's accident happened, he told me that he would go out."

"At that time, his birthday was approaching, and we were all helping him figure out how to celebrate. Ji Hua secretly told me that he would take me to the best restaurant in the capital on his birthday."

"According to the money we have, how can it be enough for two people to travel to the capital, let alone the best restaurant."

"But he said that Fu Yan, the head's son, knows that there are people outside who are recruiting at high prices. He only needs to work for a month, and he can earn the travel expenses."

"So he agreed, whenever he has free time every day, he will go to the place Fu Yan introduced to help. I don't know what to do, but every time he goes there full of energy and comes back exhausted. I watched I felt distressed, so I persuaded him not to do it anymore, but he refused to agree, until two days before his birthday, once he went out, he never came back."

"Three days later, his body was exposed in the wilderness..."

At the end, Songyu was almost out of breath, Xiao Lang poured a glass of water for her instead, and said in a low voice: "Do you know where he went to help?"

"I don't know." Songyu shook his head: "Only Fu Yan knows, but he went away to study after showing Ji Hua the way, and he hasn't come back yet."

Xiao Lang asked: "Where is he?"

After asking about Fu Yan's whereabouts, Xiao Lang briefly comforted him, and told Songyu that today's affairs must not be known to anyone other than them, and then he left.

The sky had been gloomy and gloomy before coming to the Kongshan School, and now it was even more light rain.

It was too inconvenient to ride a horse in such weather, so Xiao Lang had no choice but to deposit the horse in the stable of the Kongshan School.

The rain gradually became heavier, hitting the umbrella surface with a loud noise.Pedestrians walked in a hurry, their eyes only focused on the direction of shelter from the rain.

In the chaos, Xiao Lang was the only one who was not in a hurry, his steps were still steady and even, and he didn't seem to be upset at all by the sudden heavy rain.

There were only two streets away from the Martial Arts League, but a black shadow followed slowly behind him.

Xiao Lang noticed that someone was following him, so he changed the direction of his feet and turned into the alley on the right, and then when the other party followed without hesitation, he pulled out the dust and stabbed at the person coming.

A familiar face that had not been seen for many days appeared under the blurred rain.

Xiao Lang was in a trance for a moment, and it was too late to withdraw his sword when he came to his senses.

The slight sound of the sword point piercing into the flesh was soon suppressed by the heavy rain, Xiao Lang suffocated, and pulled the sword back suddenly, the anger on his face could not be stopped: "Mu Yunyi, why are you crazy? ?”

"Why don't you hide, you can obviously..."

Before he finished speaking, the loud voice in front of him weighed heavily on him.

Xiao Lang fell into an extremely tight embrace.

Next to my ear was the man's rare trembling voice: "Xiao Lang, it's worth it... it's broken."
