Beiming Zhengtai College

After sending the flower picker to the government, it was already the fourth watch when we returned to the academy.Tired all night, the seven of them went back to their rooms to rest.

Qin Tian and Su Shi Yue pushed open the door and entered, only to find someone inside the room lying on the table.

Qin Tian was startled, and hurried forward to check how Tan Fangli was doing. Fortunately, he was just asleep.

After Tan Fangli was woken up, she yawned sleepily. "Brother Qin, you are back."

"Why don't you go back to your room to sleep and have been waiting for us?"

"You didn't come back, I was so worried that I couldn't sleep." Tan Fangli automatically ignored the fact that she just fell asleep on the table.

"Fangli, are you worried about me?" Su Shiyue leaned closer and asked.

"By the way, worry about it."

"Haha, by the way."

The light was dim before, and no abnormalities were noticed, but at this time Tan Fangli found that his portrait of Su Shiyue was pasted at the end of the bed. "What did you put the picture on there for?" He pointed.

Su Shiyue: "You have to see it every day, and you can see it every day when you open your eyes."

Tan Fangli: "Narcissists, how can anyone look at their own portraits every day."

Su Shiyue: "Then you can help me draw another painting, I will hang it differently!"

Tan Fangli: "A lot of money is hard to come by, so wait in line slowly."

Su Shiyue: "Lizi, oh no, Fangli, so Fangli, give me another one~"

Qin Tian, ​​who was silent for a long time, suddenly asked, "You drew this portrait for him?"

Tan Fangli nodded, he thought Qin Tian knew.But I feel that this is not a matter at all, and it makes no difference whether to say it or not. "Yes, I drew it."

"The painting is really good..." Qin Tian suddenly felt a pang of breath in his chest, unable to vomit or swallow.Obviously, Tan Fangli had painted portraits of Yu Zixian before, and the paintings were more vivid and lifelike.

But the last time I was purely appreciating Tan Fangli's painting skills, but this time, I couldn't explain why I was upset.first!When I see Tan Fangli's paintings, I feel upset!

why is that?Qin Tian couldn't figure it out, was it because Tan Fangli didn't tell him about it, or was it because the person in the painting was Su Shiyue?Or, a combination of both?

After sending Tan Fangli back to the bedroom, Qin Tian still couldn't sleep peacefully. He looked towards the end of Su Shiyue's bed in the dark, and suddenly thought of burning the painting.He was taken aback by his terrible thought!

--the next day--

Taking advantage of the absence of class, everyone gathered in Weimingzhai to tell what happened last night.

The people who stayed behind in the academy listened with gusto, but the seven people who participated in the trap had serious expressions on their faces.The murderer may not really be a flower picker, but someone more difficult to find.

"Actually, I have a bold guess. Just listen to it and don't take it seriously." After listening to the whole process, Lin Yuanlu began to analyze: "Yuelan's family is poor, and the murderer is naturally not seeking money. The second possibility is that Yuelan offended her. Someone, or someone who was in the way, that's why they were silenced."

Zhao Pingting retorted: "Yue Lan is a weak woman, how can she have the ability to get in the way of others?"

Pinghui: "You can't say that. The embankment of a thousand miles is destroyed by an ant nest. Don't look down on the little people."

Zhao Pingting: "Don't use words indiscriminately, who is an ant."

Bai Ranzhu: "Be quiet, it's so loud, are you trying to attract the principal?"

Tan Fangli: "Then let's assume that Yue Lan is really in the way of others, what is the reason?"

"Could it be...knowing the murderer's secret?" Bai Weiwei spoke weakly.

Lin Yuanlu: "It's possible. Let's recall again. On the day we said goodbye to her, did she mention anything special?"

Everyone was inspired, and instantly opened their eyes, and said in unison: "Linglong!"

In front of the Wind and Rain Pavilion, Yuelan once told them that she knew a sister from Beiming Academy named Linglong.

After finding a breakthrough, the next task is to check the backyard at the right time. The backyard used to be the dormitory of the students.Later, because of the turmoil, the academy was closed, and the old dormitories were also abandoned.

--backyard--

The last time I came to the backyard was because of the match between Zhao Pingting and Bai Ranzhu.Zhao Pingting got the dead soul incense that day, leaving a scar on her face, which is still fresh in her memory.

"Do you still remember the story about Yu Zixian?" Tan Fangli asked while chewing on a steamed bun.He didn't have enough for lunch, so he was dragged to the backyard by Su Shiyue after he finally got out of class.

"Remember, the story about a woman who was murdered and dismembered, and her body was scattered all over the backyard?" Su Shiyue recalled.

After Tan Fangli finished eating the steamed buns, she wiped her mouth with her sleeve.Qin Tian was not around, and no one handed him the handkerchief. "I always feel that he is not such a boring storyteller."

"It's really a ridiculous story."

"But it works. Something happened to Zhao Pingting here, and there is an evil story, so no students dare to come here."

"Fangli, why did you suddenly think of this? Could it be that you suspect Yu Zixian?"

Tan Fangli shook her head, and said with an innocent look: "No, I didn't say he killed people or anything, but he must have something to hide from us."

After he finished speaking, he walked towards the door of the dormitory. The dilapidated old room was covered with cobwebs, and the paper on the window was dilapidated, and he could directly see the scene inside the room through it.

Su Shiyue saw that Tan Fangli was about to open a door, so he was so frightened that he hurried forward to stop it. "Fangli, don't go in. In case there is a trap!" But it was still a step too late, Tan Fangli had already opened the door and entered.

Fortunately, nothing happened, except for a mouse that was scared and fell off the beam.

"You dragged me to check, why are you timid. How can you check if you don't enter the room?" After Tan Fangli finished speaking, she turned around and looked down at the floor carefully. "Look, there are so many footprints!"

Su Shiyue also entered the house, and looked on the ground, and there were indeed all kinds of footprints.Judging by the difference in the size of the shoe prints, it is definitely not from one person. "There must be other students who checked the clues one step earlier than us."

"It's possible, but there is another way, that is, someone destroyed the clues one step ahead of us." Tan Fangli pointed to a certain footprint on the floor and said, "Look at this, only this footprint is muddy. There is no rain in the sun, so it must not be recent, maybe it was the night that Yue Lan was killed, and she came here."

"Then we can use the shoe prints to find the person hiding in the dark!" Su Shiyue's eyes lit up.

"I'll leave this up to you. I'll look at other things." Tan Fangli waved his hand and opened the old cabinet in the room. As expected, there was nothing in it.

Su Shiyue looked at the muddy footprint for a long time, and suddenly realized that he had been tricked by Tan Fangli. "The shoes are all the same..." That's right, the shoe prints are all the same except for the size. It's really hard to find the murderer based on this.

Su Shiyue gave up the shoe prints and continued to look for suspicious things.While looking under the bed, I saw the mouse again!The mouse that fell from the beam before met again on a narrow road.Su Shi startled the mouse more, and the mouse startled Su Shi more.

Tan Fangli laughed at the side. "Su Shiyue, you're actually afraid of mice."

Suddenly, the falsely hidden door was opened again.

Qin Tian stepped into the house with a sword in his hand, with a serious expression on his face.After seeing Tan Fangli, she was obviously taken aback. "Fangli, I thought you were back in the spring scene"

Tan Fangli jumped up to Qin Tian's side, pulled his sleeve and said, "Brother Qin, you are finally here. I saw a mouse, it's too scary."

Qin Tian patted his head, "Don't be afraid, I'm here."

Su Shiyue "..."

It was getting late, and the three left regretfully without finding any other clues.

Zhao Pingting's side has made some progress. She spent a whole day trying to figure it out, and finally found out some things about Linglong from Xu Niang.As if this name was taboo, Xu Niang and Uncle Ya both hesitated and hesitated to say more.

Xu Niang only told Zhao Pingting that there was indeed a girl named Linglong in the academy six years ago, but she died of illness.Xu Niang didn't want to say more about what illness she had, and now she had a new mystery.

Linglong's clue is temporarily broken here.
