"Master, why don't you go and see the general? It's a mess here, let me clean it up." Su Shaowen was a little embarrassed and very guilty: "I'm sorry, master, I always put the manuscript paper in the sandwich of my clothes, but unfortunately..."
Hua Qingxue reached out and patted her shoulder: "It's okay. It depends on human effort. You have tried your best..."
Halfway through his words, he was suddenly interrupted by Qin Laowu's rapid coughing.
Hua Qingxue realized something was wrong and retracted her hand in embarrassment again.
But before she could find Fu Tingye, Fu Tingye had already returned in a hurry, with an extremely solemn expression: "The pocket folding crossbow is missing."
"What?!" Hua Qingxue just looked at his hurried away figure and felt faintly worried in her heart. She must have taken the crossbow first and then came to Su Shaowen to get the manuscript paper. How could it be such a coincidence.
There were only five people in the entire School of Science who knew Zhenu Nu, including her, Fu Tingye, fellow apprentice Su Shaowen, and the seriously injured Tongtong.
Could it be... Hua Qingxue suddenly remembered the noise she and Tongtong heard outside Liang Wensheng's laboratory while walking at noon. At that time, Liang Wensheng was concentrating on improving weapons and didn't even notice that he walked in.
Could it be that at that time, he was already being targeted by spies
Fu Tingye frowned, and his narrow and deep eyes burst out with murderous intent: "Here comes someone! Seal all exits, and conduct detailed inspections in every corner of every room!"
"You mean, the spy hasn't gone out yet?" Hua Qingxue was surprised.
Fu Tingye nodded and reached out to hold her: "Follow me to meet that little girl."
"Yes." Hua Qingxue nodded and ran slowly behind Fu Tingye.
Tongtong was already injured, but was hit by another arrow, and his life was in danger. Lu Zhengqing helped her bandage the wound, his forehead was covered with beads of sweat, and Liang Wensheng was doing it beside him.
Hua Qingxue and Fu Tingye looked at Tongtong's appearance and estimated that they would not wake up tonight.
"Not only tonight, but also the next three days will be a dangerous period." Lu Zhengqing sighed: "For some reason, she suddenly ran out."
"Could it be that she saw the spy and followed him out?" Hua Qingxue raised this possibility and looked at Fu Tingye.
Fu Tingye still looked solemn, and his eyes fell on Tongtong's shoes. The cloth shoes were covered with mud. He reached out and picked them up and smelled them. There was a faint fragrance of mint.
A glimmer of clarity flashed through his mind, and Fu Tingye's eyes suddenly became sharp, and there was a flash of complexity that Hua Qingxue couldn't see through.
Lu Zhengqing and Liang Wensheng looked at Fu Tingye and knew what the general was investigating. They didn't dare to make a sound for a while, and they could hear a needle drop in the room.
Perhaps feeling everyone's embarrassment, Fu Tingye raised the corners of his mouth and said calmly: "It's okay."
Hua Qingxue took a long breath, looked at Tongtong's condition again, and then followed Fu Tingye out of the room.
"You just scared me to death..." Hua Qingxue was about to speak when a guard hurried over: "General, a suspicious person was found in the cafeteria of the School of Science."
Fu Tingye raised his eyebrows and walked toward the School of Science. Hua Qingxue chased after him: "General, I'll go with you."
He frowned, instinctively wanting to refuse, but seeing the woman's worried look, he endured it.
His big hand gently stretched out towards her, holding the soft velvet familiarly. His hand was cold and without warmth. His heart suddenly softened, and he followed her steps without being so urgent. He took care of her small steps and slowed down. .
"General, what's wrong?" Hua Qingxue saw Fu Tingye stop for a moment, but she didn't understand his intention.
"It's okay, let you slow down." Fu Tingye said lightly, with the vast night behind him. These words were heartwarming.
Hua Qingxue couldn't help but use her palms to grasp him firmly.
The two of them came to the canteen not long after. Hua Qingxue had been here in the afternoon. At that time, the servants had tidied up the inside and outside in an orderly manner, but now it looked like a mess, with baskets of vegetables, eggs and all kinds of things scattered all over the floor. Yes, in the middle of the guards, there was a man wearing a black assassin uniform with a long knife in his hand, constantly on guard against the guards in all directions.
Fu Tingye looked at his empty arms and suddenly lost his patience: "Take it!"
Hua Qingxue felt something was wrong with his mood and couldn't help but ask: "What's wrong? General."
Fu Tingye frowned deeply and sighed: "It's not him."
no…
Hua Qingxue was a little confused. It wasn't him... This was too much information!
Could it be that there was more than one spy in the School of Science, and there were many more... She swallowed her saliva, feeling like she was being attacked from both sides, and there were eyes watching her in every darkness.
"Don't be afraid!" Fu Tingye took her into his arms: "Should I take you back first?"
Upon hearing this, Hua Qingxue suddenly grabbed his sleeve: "Then where are you going?"
A flash of cruelty flashed between Fu Tingye's eyebrows: "I'm going to arrest someone, but it will be in danger for you to follow."
Hua Qingxue pursed her lips, knowing in her heart that what he said was right, but inexplicably, she felt a little reluctant: "Then I'll wait for you in the room..." She was a little impulsive, and her face suddenly turned red when she said this: "Waiting for you to come back."
Fu Tingye was startled for a moment, then laughed.
Watching the guards send Hua Qingxue off properly, Fu Tingye's expression gradually became serious, and he ordered in a deep voice: "Tell Hai Shixuan and Qin Laowu to come see me immediately."
"yes."
Not long after, Hai Shixuan and Qin Laowu came to Fu Tingye: "What are your orders, general?"
Fu Tingye turned around with sharp eyes: "It seems we are going to make a plan."
Hua Qingxue returned to the room in an anxious mood, but had no intention of sleeping. Huan'er and Xi'er looked at her anxious look and stayed with her. The master and servant sat quietly in the room, waiting for the general.
There were guards standing at the door of the room, and there were two small teams patrolling back and forth in the yard. It seemed that her place was sealed airtight.
"Madam, listen, is there any movement outside?" Huan'er has the best ears and suddenly heard the noise outside.
Hua Qingxue and Xi'er listened intently, and sure enough, there was suddenly a lot of noise outside, with the sound of things falling to the ground, various scoldings, and the voices of guards.
"Madam, you and your sister are in the room. I'll go out and have a look." Xi'er stood up and walked out. The guard at the door stopped her: "The general has an order. Madam and the two maids cannot Leave the room."
Xi'er was stopped and came back.
Hua Qingxue stepped forward and pulled her to comfort her: "Then don't go."
Xi'er nodded and followed Hua Qingxue respectfully. Hua Qingxue came to the door and took a look: "It should be the general and the others making a noise while pursuing the people. The yard over there is the wing where Cheng Wanmiao lived before. direction."
Xi'er stepped forward to take a look and nodded: "Yes, is that spy from the side room? But after the cousin moved away, there was no one there."
Hua Qingxue couldn't help but wonder, Liu Ye's beautiful eyebrows furrowed slightly, and she looked at the dark sky in the distance. The defensive house was pitch black at night, and she could only hear noises, but no one could be seen.
However, it was somewhat different from what she expected. There was indeed a search for spies in the wing, but it was not carried out by Fu Tingye himself.
Haishixuan and Qin Laowu led their teams respectively, one in charge of the area of the School of Science, and the other in charge of the area in the other courtyard. They conducted door-to-door, house-to-house, and yard-to-yard carpet searches, and all the servants were called out.
Standing in the courtyard, the guards were questioning one after another about what they had done recently, whether they had found anyone suspicious, etc.
Even Lu Zhengqing's yard was no exception. However, considering that Mrs. Lu had just given birth, she and the child were allowed not to leave the room, but the rest of the people, including the confinement nanny Lu Zhengqing had just invited, had to come out to the yard for interrogation.
On Qin Laowu's side, the staff were mainly concentrated in the kitchen and the management staff of the dormitory area. It was easy to clear the campus. All the people were concentrated on the playground in front of the teaching building. Those who occasionally dodge were immediately rushed out. Was caught out.
Two more people thought something serious had happened and hid in the dark stairs of the teaching building while avoiding the interrogation of the guards, but they were also caught.
Eliminate suspicion one by one.
The formations on both sides were very large, which made people feel the general's vigorous and resolute action and his determination not to give up until he achieved his goal.
What's strange is that only Hai Shixuan and Qin Laowu came forward, but Fu Tingye didn't know where he went.
Among the servants in the back kitchen of the College of Science, there is a short waiter who is kind and enthusiastic on weekdays. He often helps the stewardess with some extra tasks, and is treated with special attention by the stewardess. He spends some of his time on duty on weekdays. Just turn a blind eye if you are lazy or doing your own personal things. Anyway, the School of Science has not officially started yet, and there is not much to do in the kitchen here.
At this time, the little boy stood in the crowd, but his eyes swept across the guards in front of them in a low voice, asking in a low voice: "I heard that the sea cucumber leader is searching for the other courtyard where Mrs. Si Bing lives. Vice General Qin is searching Here at the School of Science, where did the general go?"
Standing next to her was Sister Fang, the head kitchen manager. Sister Fang was frightened enough and couldn't help rolling her eyes at him: "Are you going to die? How dare you ask this at this time! Be honest!"
The little man shut up politely, but his sneaky eyes betrayed his heart.
Soon Aunt Fang was called out for questioning. It was just a few simple questions. After she answered honestly, she was let back. However, she saw that the place where the little dwarf had been stood was empty.
"Where did this monkey go?" Sister Fang couldn't help but asked out of curiosity. The person next to her replied that the little dwarf had a stomachache and had gone to the latrine.
"It's really a lazy cow, a lazy horse, and a lot of poop and urine." Sister Fang complained in a low voice and dismissed him.
The little dwarf came out of the hut. Seeing that there was no one around, he ducked and hid among the flowers and trees nearby.
The guard responsible for escorting him to the toilet was in front of a house in the distance. After waiting for a long time, no one came out. He became suspicious and came to take a look. Just when he reached out and was about to push open the latrine door, a cold arrow suddenly penetrated his chest from the back. Then, the guard didn't even have time to moan, and fell down with a muffled sound.
