A big stone surrounded by small stones, the size and color of the small stones are almost the same, only one of them has a white line on it, which achieves the conspicuous effect of standing out from the crowd of stones.
"This kind of stone is called a white line stone, and it's not common. Maybe the eldest son fell here and happened to find a white line stone in his hand, but he deliberately arranged the stones here in such a way, there must be a deep meaning in it." Lu Li Xiao got up and hugged the sword.
Zhou Ziruo walked around and observed the stone array on the ground from various angles, "Big rocks and small rocks...but what does he want to express?"
Gu Qingyan said: "I think it should be a clue about the person who chased and killed him!"
Zhou Ziruo thought nonsense, otherwise he was playing house for Shitou
Lu Lixiao asked Gu Qingyan: "Young Master Gu, do you know the characteristics of the Eldest Young Master?"
Gu Qingyan understood what he meant, and shook his head: "Brother Datang and I haven't played together since we were more than ten years old. If he wants to imply some special meaning through these stones, I'm afraid I don't have that tacit understanding with him!"
"Then the meaning of these stones shouldn't be too complicated. Although the place is remote, the eldest son is not sure who will find it. This should be a clue that most people can understand." Lu Lixiao speculated.
Zhou Ziruo agrees very much that Gu Qinghuan is an idiot, and in the case of being chased and killed, it is even more idiot plus three levels. It is impossible for that IQ to leave too deep, complicated and compelling clues, so we should try to keep it simple!
"One more doubt..." Lu Lixiao stared at the stone array on the ground, "Why didn't the person who took the eldest son destroy this arrangement?"
Zhou Ziruo was reminded, "... Could it be that he didn't realize that this is a clue left by Gu Qinghuan?"
"These stones are so conspicuous here, even if you don't know they are clues, they will usually be destroyed to avoid unnecessary complications. Besides, in that case, you should know that these are clues if you think about it a little bit." Gu Qingyan said .
Knowing that it is a clue pointing to one's own identity, but allowing it to stay here, what does it mean? Have nothing to fear? provocative
I don't know what the murderer was thinking...
The three of them studied around the stone formation for a long time, but they couldn't agree with Gu Qinghuan, so they had to give up temporarily and continue to spread out to search the surrounding area.
Zhou Ziruo carried Lu Lixiao and Gu Qinghuan on the stone array and used the small expert forensics again, intending to give himself a young detective with excellent insight and reasoning ability, but after the system deducted 1000 points, he looked like a dead pig No response.
"Moisturize, get up and work! Are you still sleeping late?" After searching for evidence twice in succession, Zhou Ziruo finally couldn't bear it anymore and began to call for Xiao Zhengtai.
Xiao Zhengtai yawned lazily and told him: "Master, if the little evidence search expert is used in a scene where there is no evidence or the evidence has been discovered, there will be no response!"
"It's fine if you don't respond, why do you still deduct points if you don't find any evidence?"
"Because points will be consumed every time the function of the evidence-searching expert is activated!"
Damn! If he is not satisfied with the shopping in the supermarket, he can still return the goods and refund the money. He has not enjoyed the effect of this function at all, so why deduct his hard-earned points! !
"Master, you went to the restaurant to order a table of food, you can't not pay just because you didn't eat it in the end!"
Zhou Ziruo: (╰_╯)#
At least now I know that there are no clues left in this forest, and it's not that I haven't enjoyed the effect of a small expert in finding evidence. There were no cameras in ancient times, and it would be meaningless to move these stones away. Zhou Ziruo had to look at the stone array with his big eyes for a few minutes, wanting to imprint this picture into the depths of his soul, and never forget it. any details.
The three of them returned the same way, Zhou Ziruo walked at the end, and got out from the bushes covering the path, Lu Lixiao naturally took the initiative to help him wipe off the dust on his body, and when he took the broken leaves from his head, The pad of the thumb brushed the corner of his eye intentionally or unintentionally.
Gu Qingyan moved his eyes away from them uncomfortably, glanced at a certain place inadvertently, and suddenly said: "Which way to go, if you go fast, you can walk to the ancestral temple in half an hour... Do you two want to take a look?"
If Gu Qinghuan really went to the ancestral temple to look for Mrs. Gu that day, maybe the ancestral temple still has clues, Lu Lixiao naturally agreed.
The Gu Family Ancestral Temple is located deep in the forest, and the fog in the forest is much thicker than other places. It is clearly the afternoon when the sun is brightest, but it is so gloomy as if the sky has collapsed. A bit like a haunted house.
The various items in the ancestral hall are neatly arranged and cleaned spotlessly. After looking around, Gu Qingyan looked at the incense stand: "All the burnt incense candles have been taken away? Great-grandmother only returned to Gu's house in the morning, and someone came to clean it so soon Is it there? If the big brother really left a clue, I don’t know if he is still there... "
Zhou Ziruo looked at Lu Lixiao when he heard the words, and shrugged.
Gu Qingyan, an honest boy, still firmly believes that Mrs. Gu served her ancestors in the ancestral hall some time ago...
"Small evidence search expert!" Zhou Ziruo immediately lost faith in the new scene, but there was no other response except for the system sound telling him that there were only 16,000 points left.
In just half an afternoon, 5000 points were lost! Zhou Ziruo's flesh hurts...
There is a large inner courtyard passing through the ancestral hall, which has a hot spring for purification, a kitchen, and many resting rooms, etc. The three of them searched one room after another, but found nothing, and it was getting late. I had no choice but to leave.
After returning to Gu's house, Gu Qingyan broke up with the two of them. Zhou Ziruo followed Lu Lixiao to the direction of Zhizhu Garden. Now that he was free, he finally had the opportunity to talk about what happened in Gu Er's study in the morning.
"Is there a man in the ancestors of the Gu family who married a woman from the Ghost Mirror Clan? Perhaps this is not difficult to explain why Gu Jue knows some of the Ghost Mirror Clan's language. Presumably the Gu family still has some records about the Ghost Mirror Clan." Lu Lixiao said from He took out a folded piece of paper from his pocket and slowly opened it.
Zhou Ziruo stretched his head to look over, and it turned out that Lu Lixiao's habit was still there, and at some point he had already written down the relevant people, things, places and the general relationship of this incident.
Lu Lixiao twisted a small piece of charcoal in his hand, and added the information he just got on the paper.
Zhou Ziruo hesitated and said, "Shall we go to Gu's library to investigate the matter of the Ghost Mirror Clan next? The system instructed that the animal skin scroll that recorded the first half of the Ghost Mirror Clan's story is the clue to the case!"
"I think the important thing is not the records about the customs and culture of the Ghost Mirror Clan, but what Gu Jue wanted—the second half of the story on the animal skin scroll." Lu Lixiao pondered for a moment, then narrowed his eyes slightly and said.
Zhou Ziruo was startled, "Why does Gu Jue want to know the full story?"
"Presumably he won't say it."
Gu Jue is not much different in age from Gu Qingyan, but compared to the scheming city, he really deserves the word "uncle" as Gu Qingyan's uncle. Compared with him, Gu Qingyan is as innocent as a child. Think about the idiot Gu Qinghuan and the two hundred and five duo Gu Qingfeng and Gu Qingce... How can the same family, the same environment, and the same age group produce so many people who are so different from each other
While talking, he passed an intersection in the residence, Zhou Ziruo suddenly changed his mind and planned to take a detour to Ziluoxuan. Of course, Lu Lixiao couldn't let him act alone, so he went with him.
Since Han Ziyi died yesterday, Zhou Ziruo hadn't had time to burn incense sticks for her.
Apart from the guest room, there is also a main room in Ziluoxuan, which has been arranged as a temporary mourning hall for Han Ziyi. Snow-white spirit flowers hang high above the main door, and the dimly lit room is filled with the smell of burning incense and burning paper. When you step over a threshold, you feel like you have stepped into another world.
The female disciples of Yaohua Palace had a good image of Zhou Ziruo, so they took the initiative to hand three bunches of incense to him and Lu Lixiao respectively. The two bowed three times and inserted the high incense into the incense burner. Lu Lixiao said his condolences to the people in Yaohua Palace, and began to talk in a low voice to find out what happened to Han Ziyi before his death.
Zhou Ziruo had always been convinced of Lu Lixiao's ability to speak routinely, so he bypassed the incense case and walked to the coffin.
Han Ziyi just passed away yesterday, and the murderer hasn't been found yet, so it seems that she is dying, so the coffin lid is only leaning on the side, not closed.
Zhou Ziruo lowered his head and looked quietly at Han Ziyi who was lying there and had changed his shroud to wipe off the blood on his face. Except that he couldn't breathe, he looked like a beautiful girl in deep sleep.
He couldn't help reaching in and gently stroking Han Ziyi's hand on his abdomen. After rubbing it a few times, he suddenly felt a strange touch between the cold skin. He slightly opened Han Ziyi's stiff fingers, without warning. Then she saw the handkerchief embroidered with wisteria flowers that he gave her when they first met.
Needless to say, this handkerchief must have been put in her hand by Han Ziyi's classmate, the meaning of this move is self-evident.
Zhou Ziruo had the feeling of being hit suddenly, and his eye sockets became hot instantly.
After coming out of Ziluoxuan, Zhou Ziruo asked Lu Lixiao, "What did you find?"
Lu Lixiao sighed and shook his head: "There is nothing of value, Miss Han's death was definitely not because she had any special information."
Han Ziyi is just one of the disciples from many immortal families who came to participate in the Xianmeng Dabi, and maybe the murderer didn't know her when she came to Zhuri Mountain! What was the motive for the murderer to kill such an innocent girl? Could it be that the murderer is a psychopath who kills people indiscriminately
"Zi Ruo,"
Lu Lixiao suddenly called Zhou Ziruo who was still worried.
Zhou Ziruo turned his head, "What?"
Lu Lixiao said, "Tell me about what happened there."
"Where we are..." Zhou Ziruo was stunned, "Which aspect? Did you find something related to the case?"
Lu Lixiao smiled slightly, "Of course it has nothing to do with the case. I just want to know more about your world, anything is fine. Can you clarify for me?"
Zhou Ziruo thought that the system and host that he told Lu Lixiao in the morning were too subversive of the world view, which opened up Lu Lixiao's thirst for knowledge.
This suddenly filled his chest with unspeakable pride.
That's right, he is a modern person who has taken a plane, dived across the sea, played with a computer, and watched a small movie. He is not like these backward ancient people who can only rely on four wheels and two legs to go anywhere. Ten days and a half months in the capital have not been settled!
He has seen more sky than them!
Zhou Ziruo talked endlessly about various high-tech inventions of the 21st century, and he didn't forget to drag out all the inconveniences of ancient life. Lu Lixiao was the audience with a faint smile on his face the whole time, which was a great way to save face Show a slightly surprised expression at the right time, or ask some small questions to satisfy Zhou Ziruo's vanity.
"—Anyway," Zhou Ziruo cleared his throat dryly and began to summarize his speech, "There are so many good things in our place, you can't imagine it without seeing it with your own eyes! If one day the system convulses you It’s fine in the past, I still have a lot to say, all kinds of interesting customs in various cultures have to be experienced by yourself to feel it!”
"Really? What about the wedding customs in your place?" Lu Lixiao asked in a casual tone.
"Marriage customs? In our country's 5,000-year history of civilization, there have been too many dynasties and dynasties. Different dynasties have different wedding celebrations. Now most of them are organized according to Western wedding customs, because Western weddings are simple and fast! Two people If you want to get married—that is, get married—the most basic thing is to have two pairs of rings, which are placed on the fourth finger of the left ring finger of both parties, which means that the two people will forever..." Zhou Ziruo choked, and changed his words Said: "Why are you asking this?"
Lu Lixiao's dark eyes sparkled, "Curiosity. Otherwise, what do you think?"
Zhou Ziruo: "I think you must be idle."
The author has something to say: Qixi Festival has already passed, why are people around me still talking about Qixi Festival? The single dog said that he was hit by 10,000 points of crit, so... everyone in this article will be single with me for the time being. . .
