"Second Lord wants to intervene in this matter, have you thought about the emperor's countermeasures?"

"No."

"Does the second master have any idea about this?"

"No."

"Did the second master have a way to deal with the consequences?"

"not yet."

Ju Muer shut her mouth, what she wanted to express was obvious. But Long Er said: "Aren't you also like this?"

Ju Mu'er didn't know what to say, because she had no choice but to make up with him, if she continued to entangle, what was the use of what she did before

She couldn't help sighing again, she knew that Long Er just wanted her to know that she had done useless work, he just wanted her to admit that she was wrong.

"I have one condition."

"Tell me." Long Er was very straightforward.

"Second Master's participation in this matter must be kept secret, and no one else may know about it. Everything must be seen by outsiders as if it has nothing to do with Second Master or the Dragon Mansion. Second Master agreed, and I will disclose everything I know Tell the second master, so that the second master can avoid detours and avoid any trouble during the investigation."

Long Er looked at her quietly and didn't reply right away.

She was still cunning as always. This condition sounded like nothing, but it actually put an end to the relationship between her and him. Make him seem to have nothing to do with this matter, that is to say, to have nothing to do with her, so he has to keep a distance from her, can't meet in public, can't live with her, and can't let her go back—just like two people who are really reconciled.

Long Er stroked his chin, did she think that he would not be able to entangle her anymore if she said that? Long Er smiled, he was not afraid that she would ask for any conditions, any conditions would be fine, what he was afraid of was that she would not mention them. If she ignored him to death, he would find it difficult to deal with someone who would cry, make trouble, and hang himself.

Fortunately, he understands her.

"Okay, I promise you." Long Er's answer made Ju Muer breathe a sigh of relief.

"Everything will be done in secret. I will not make it public or public. If I am not sure, I will never let this matter be exposed, and no one will know that I am in charge of this matter. How about it?"

"Okay." Ju Mu'er replied, "In order to get rid of this matter, it's better for the second master and me not to have any contact."

When Long Er smiled, she really couldn't wait to clarify. He corrected calmly: "It's not about communicating in public."

Ju Muer was slightly startled, but finally nodded.

Long Er laughed again, reached out to shake her hand: "That's enough to make it clear."

Explain what? Ju Muer was worried.

Long Er rubbed her eyebrows: "Now, tell me everything you know."

"Whatever Second Master wants to know, just ask."

"You said you can't get out of this case, what makes you think you're stuck?" This is what Long Er cares most about. Unable to withdraw to the point where she can only reconcile with him to protect him, it means that there is danger lurking around her.

"I'm being watched."

"Surveillance?" Long Er frowned.

"Very clever surveillance. I only recently confirmed it. This also made me understand that the murderer behind the scene has indeed been suspicious of me. But I couldn't figure out why he didn't kill me."

Long Er's brows frowned even tighter.

"Second Master probably knew that brother Yibai died of drinking and drowning. It was an accident. But the timing of his death was too coincidental. When he finished the first half of the score and was running around to find clues, when I was about to put When the second half of the score was completed, he passed away. After he left, those luthiers who followed him to investigate the case scattered and hid. This matter has been silent since then. "

"Besides Hua Yibai, did other luthiers die inexplicably?"

"I haven't heard of it."

"Then why do you feel like killing you?"

"I'm blind." Ju Muer rubbed her eyes, "Maybe I'm suspicious, but I really think it's strange. Dr. Qi, who treated my eye disease, is highly skilled and everyone praises him. But not long after I was blind, he I moved the place and left the capital, saying that I was going back to my hometown for the elderly. I secretly consulted other doctors for my eyes, and they all said that they couldn’t cure them. Although I didn’t find any problems with the previous diagnosis and treatment, the timing of my blindness was the same as Brother Hua’s. His death was too coincidental, so I have always been skeptical."

Ju Muer bit her lip when she said this, and said: "After I found out that I was being watched by someone, I was even more doubtful why that person didn't kill me. Wouldn't it be easy to kill me after going through so much trouble? There is one more thing I couldn’t figure it out, that’s why he wanted to kill Shi Shangshu’s family. To get back the piano score, just sneak in and do it, if someone blocks it, kill the person who blocked it, why kill the family?”

"Why do you insist that the murderer committed the crime in order to get back the piano score?"

Ju Muer was stunned, she really didn't think about any other motives.

"Because Mr. Shi told me this with the qin music on his deathbed, and there is a lot of mystery in the qin music." Ju Muer told Long Er the conjectures she and Ya Lili had said. The five mixed pieces in the front are not simply appeals to grievances, but also explain the meaning of the complete piano piece in the back.

Long Er thought for a while, and asked: "Mu'er, you who learn the piano, can you hear the story inside the music?"

"Some things are possible, such as gold and iron horses, such as high mountains and flowing water, such as graceful appeals..."

"But there's no love in it. The expedition doesn't go home, and then waits for the sweetheart to come back. These are just listening to the music, can you understand it?"

"This, of course, is to understand the intention of the composer and the story behind it, and then explain it with the piano music."

"So that Shi Boyin knows who the composer is, and also knows the story of that person? Otherwise, how could he tell you so clearly?"

Ju Muer was taken aback again: "It is rumored that this piano piece was obtained by Shi Shangshu, and he couldn't play it, so he asked Mr. Shi for help."

"In other words, if it wasn't Shi Boyin who knew the mystery of this qin melody, then Shi Zechun knew it. Shi Zechun told Shi Boyin the origin of the qin melody, but his whole family was murdered. So Shi Boyin tried every means to make the qin melody come true. If the secret is revealed, maybe he knows that this tragedy must be related to the origin of this piano music?"

"That's what I think." Ju Muer said, "The music is similar to the one played by Master Yali. I have asked her to research this music in Ximin Kingdom."

"Lord Ya Li?" Long Er snorted, "I should have thought that it was weird for you to see her, I believed you too much back then."

Ju Muer bowed her head and said nothing, now that Long Er would poke her sore spots from time to time, she was helpless but ashamed.

"Do you regret doing this to me?"

Ju Muer didn't speak, "I don't regret it" couldn't be said to him anyway.

Really heartless! Long Er stared at her, feeling very dissatisfied.

Ju Muer lowered her head sullenly and continued to change the topic: "Mr. Shi must have had a deep meaning in taking so much effort to unplay the piano music before his death. Even if the murderer didn't want to get back the piano score, his purpose must be related to the piano score." , I just don’t understand why we have to take the step of exterminating the family.”

"Maybe it has nothing to do with the piano score at all. There must be a deep hatred to kill the killer. You guys who play the piano are a bit crazy. When you encounter the piano, you like to rely on everything. How can you grab a broken piano score?" Just killing the whole family, this kind of reason can only be believed by fools."

Ju Mu'er doesn't like to hear these words: "The idiot that the second master said, but he involved all the people who judged the case. Didn't he convict Mr. Shi back then because he wanted to take this peerless piano score for himself? Did such a ruthless thing happen? Besides, the second master doesn't know the piano, so naturally he doesn't think much about the piano, but it's just like the principle that someone will murder for money. A wonderful piano score is hard to find. It’s not surprising to get this thing, and it’s not surprising to have a wrong thought. But I don’t conclude that it is related to this incident because there is a piano score, but Mr. Shi deliberately played this song on his deathbed. There must be a reason. Now there is no It is rumored that this piano score is a secret book of martial arts? If the matter has nothing to do with the piano score, how can there be such rumors?"

"You answer so much when I say something." Long Er was annoyed, poured a glass of water and handed it to her, "Do you think the piano score is a secret book of martial arts?"

Ju Muer took the water and drank it honestly. Her little face was slightly red, and she didn't know whether it was because she was a little excited to argue or because her illness was still unhealed. Long Er worriedly touched her forehead with the back of his hand, feeling that it was still a little hot.

Ju Muer replied: "All of us who learn piano are madmen. We only know the score of the piano, but not the secrets of martial arts."

Long Er pinched her face, and she started to be mischievous again.

"Anyway, Mr. Shi is famous for his qin. I have never heard that he has studied martial arts, and Shi Shangshu does not seem to be a master of martial arts. Besides, if he wants to hide martial arts secrets in the piano score, the composer not only has martial arts skills To be outstanding, one must have profound piano skills, both of which are indispensable. I have never heard of any expert in the piano world who is so proficient in martial arts."

Long Er nodded, agreeing to this point. It really takes a lot of skill to memorize martial arts cheats into the piano score that ordinary people can't play, but you can look it up.

At this time, Ju Muer said again: "I discovered the secret of the piano score, so if this case is really related to the piano score, I will be considered as the winner."

"You know how to calculate. The scope of this matter is too large. If you touch a little edge, you will win. You really have an advantage. You can't play tricks like this. It counts only when the murderer is finally caught."

"If I catch the murderer based on my speculation and the clues I found, I will win."

Long Er went to the bed to shake the quilt for her, but did not answer her words. Ju Mu'er continued to babble: "Second Lord is trustworthy, I can trust Second Master."

"You don't need to flatter me, I don't want to do this now."

Ju Mu'er didn't seem to hear it, and continued: "So the second master will definitely abide by the conditions agreed before. After a while, the second master will take away all the maids and subordinates. We don't have to communicate in the future. If there is any progress or problem, someone can secretly send a message, and we will meet in a secret place."

Long Er turned around and stared at her. But Ju Mu'er couldn't see it, so she continued on her own: "Second Master, don't forget, no one should be aware of Second Master's meddling in this matter. What's more, if Second Master finds out any news, someone must let me know Good. Don’t be reckless and impulsive in this matter, and think about everything properly before taking countermeasures.”

Does this still need her to teach
