Chapter 124
Jin Ge and He Qianxing, Shi Ruge and Tang Yuying have indeed just returned from the county government.
They stayed in the county government for an hour, watching the people over there dealing with Zhou Tao's funeral. At the same time, they were secretly looking for clues.
However, there seems to be no clue in the entire case. The only clue is that the murderer used a sword.
It was soon early in the morning, but the beach restaurant was not closed yet because they booked the place tonight.
After they came back, they all felt very tired, in a state of depressed and listless.
The guest room was on the third floor. When everyone decided to go upstairs to sleep, Shi Ruge still pouted and looked a little depressed.
Discovering her loss, Jin Ge walked up to her and asked her carefully, "What's wrong with you? Ruge, if you are afraid of sleeping alone at night, then let Yuying accompany you, what's the matter?"
Shi Ruge looked up at Jin Ge, shook his head gently and said, "No need, I'm not afraid, I can be alone."
Jin Ge couldn't help but nodded again, and his eyes were as clear, so calm and so shimmering as he stared at her. He said to her again: "Then you rest early, I'll take you back to your room first."
Shi Ruge didn't say much, but turned around and headed to the third floor. At this moment, what permeated her heart was indeed not fear, but loneliness. She felt that life was really impermanent, and it was completely unpredictable what kind of disaster a life was about to go through.
After sending Shi Ruge back to his room, Jin Ge himself returned to his room. However, even though the early morning had arrived, he still couldn't fall asleep. He simply got up again, opened the door, stood in the corridor outside, and listened to the breathing of the sea not far away.
He Qianxing couldn't sleep, so he came out too.
When Jin Ge found that He Qianxing had come out, he quickly looked at him and asked in a low voice, "Master, can't you sleep, either?"
After seeing Jin Ge, He Qianxing crossed a few more steps. He stood very close to Jin Ge, shoulder to shoulder with Jin Ge, and looked at the deep sea not far away, saying, "Yes."
Of course, Jin Ge knew why He Qianxing couldn't sleep. Suddenly, he chuckled, sighed lightly, and sighed to He Qianxing, "I hope everyone will be safe next time. Otherwise, this trip to sea to find Xianhua grass will be too expensive."
He Qianxing nodded and agreed with Jin Ge's words. After a while, he also asked Jin Ge, "By the way, is Yi Zhuofeng back? And Gong Ziqi, he slept so early today, unlike his style..."
Jin Ge said: "Gong Ziqi is in his room. I went to find him before. As for Yi Zhuofeng, he and Luo Shulian have not returned yet."
"Oh?" He Qianxing was surprised again. The white eyebrows of the lying silkworm hanged, and looked thoughtful, and asked Jin Ge again, "Then do they know we plan to go out to sea early tomorrow morning?"
Jin Ge shook his head again, answered He Qianxing, and told He Qianxing, "I don't know. Moreover, according to the current situation, we can't go out to sea early tomorrow morning."
He Qianxing agreed with Jin Ge's point of view and said, "Well, I think so too. Now Young Master Gong's condition has not recovered yet. All the supplies and daily necessities we need for travel have not been moved to the giant ship. Besides, Lord Zhou died on the county government, while his wife and son are still missing."
"There is another point, I am a friend, she hasn't arrived yet." Jin Ge added. He had been thinking about Zhang Zijun, but he hadn't arrived yet. And he had been guessing that the Shadowman should have something to do with Zhang Yao.
"Your friend? What kind of friend?" He Qianxing felt a little more confused.
Jin Ge said: "Zhang Zijun, Zhang Yao's daughter. Taoist priest, you have seen it. Last time Pu Wen and others attacked Quanchi Villa, she helped us."
At this moment, He Qianxing narrowed his eyes half-squinted again. After a long time, he thought and concluded, "It seems that Zhang Yao is going to rush into this muddy water, too..."
Jin Ge said: "Maybe it is. Anyway, what I want to do is to use the tricks and let them get on the boat. Because I want to figure out why Zhang Yao has been hiding in the past twenty years."
He Qianxing opened his lips again, and was about to say something else. Unexpectedly, their sensitive ears all heard footsteps coming from the south. Then, their precise judgment was that Yi Zhuofeng and Luo Shulian were back.
In this way, Jin Ge and He Qianxing did not chat anymore. They remained silent at the same time, frowned slightly, and waited for Yi Zhuofeng and Luo Shulian to come upstairs.
Soon Yi Zhuofeng and Luo Shulian arrived on the third floor and walked in the corridor. Seeing Jin Ge and He Qianxing, they also stopped one after another.
"Master He, Mr. Jin, aren't you sleeping yet?" Luo Shulian asked softly after a few steps away.
But at this time, Jin Ge and He Qianxing's attention was not on her, but on Yi Zhuofeng. The difference was that Jin Ge's eyes were like torches, cold and deep. He Qianxing's good eyes were full of spirit, and melancholy and sorrowful.
Yi Zhuofeng also looked at them separately. But his eyes were as cold as ever, as dark as ever.
He didn't say hello to them, and stopped for a moment and then stepped forward and prepared to go to his room.
Seeing this, Jin Ge opened his voice and shouted at his back. His voice was cold and fierce, "Easy to turbid wind!"
Feeling Jin Ge's anger, Yi Zhuofeng finally stopped reluctantly again. However, he still stood there without saying a word.
Jin Ge didn't beat around the bush and asked flatly, "Did you kill Zhou Tao?"
After Jin Ge finished asking, He Qianxing couldn't help but prick up his ears and his attention became 120,000 yuan. It seemed that he was afraid that he would accidentally miss Yi Zhuifeng's answer.
Luo Shulian also frowned lightly, waiting for Yi Zhuifeng's answer.
It took a long time before Yi Zhuofeng replied, "No."
I don’t know why, but when I heard Yi Zhuofeng say no, it seemed that a stone fell to the ground in Jin Ge’s heart. His previous anger disappeared and his expression immediately improved.
He Qianxing is the same, it feels much easier than before.
Just as they looked at each other, Yi Zhuofeng added coldly, "If you doubt me, come up with evidence." After that, he stepped forward and went to his room, never looking back.
Seeing this, Jin Ge and He Qianxing naturally did not call him again. After saying hello to Jin Ge and He Qianxing, Luo Shulian also rushed back to the room.
The next morning, a red sun emerged from the sea, hanging among the clouds, shining brightly. The clouds were dyed orange-red and bright, like a ball of flame boiling. The sea water was also dyed red, like a boiling pot of steel.
At this point, the air on the beach is also particularly fresh and transparent, making people feel relaxed and happy. The sea breeze is gentle, with a faint fishy smell, blowing away the residual heat of early summer.
Early in the morning, except for Gong Ziqi and Luo Shulian, everyone got up. After washing, they went down from the third floor to the second floor, ordered a lot of light meals, and sat there to eat.
After breakfast, He Qianxing had a plan. He planned to visit the woods with Jin Ge again.
Because he was worried about Shi Ruge, Tang Yuying and those personal belongings, he put down his chopsticks and stood up, walked to Yi Zhuofeng, and said politely: "Master Yi, Jin Ge and I will go out later. We are here, so please take care of our people and things, how about it?"
Yi Zhuofeng sat alone at the table, his eyes slightly dim, and he didn't know what he was thinking. Now He Qianxing came over to talk to him, and he immediately came to his senses, looked up at He Qianxing, nodded slightly, "Okay."
He Qianxing nodded with confidence again, and did not say much to Yi Zhuofeng. He returned to the table where he was sitting, waiting for Jin Ge.
Jin Ge was also standing at this time, and he looked at Tang Yuying. Tang Yuying took off the burden behind her and handed it to Jin Ge with both hands.
Yi Zhuofeng caught a glimpse and his neat sword eyebrows flipped slightly. He guessed that the bag should be the compass of the fate.
Before leaving, Jin Ge did not forget to look at Shi Ruge and specifically told her: "You just stay here and don't go anywhere. Have you heard that? Your master and I will be back soon!"
After one night, Shi Ruge's mood is not so lonely now. Life is impermanent and the world is unpredictable, so she has already seen it much better.
At this moment, she pursed her lips tightly, looked obedient and nodded heavily at Jin Ge, "Yes!"
After He Qianxing and Jin Ge left, Yi Zhuofeng, Shi Ruge and Tang Yuying were still sitting there.
Seeing Yi Zhuofeng sitting alone, neither looking up nor talking, Shi Ruge couldn't help but stand up. She wanted to go over and sit with Yi Zhuofeng for a while, and by the way, she asked him what he had been doing all day yesterday.
As a result, before she could take a step, her pink cheeks turned pale, and she looked very flustered.
Seeing this, Tang Yuying, who was standing beside her, quickly asked her, "What's wrong with Ruge? Why is your face suddenly so ugly?"
He noticed the movements of Shi Ruge and the others, and the turbid wind was drinking tea, and stopped drinking tea a little. However, he still did not look at them, but just pricked up his ears and listened.
There were many people here, and they were all men. Shi Ruge was embarrassed to speak loudly. So she stomped her feet in a hurry, then bent down, leaned over to Tang Yuying's ear, and told her carefully: "I'm having a menstrual period, and I forgot to bring my sanitary belt..."
When Tang Yuying heard this, she couldn't help but make a sound, "Ah!"
Because of Tang Yuying's fuss, Shi Ruge felt helpless and quickly made a "shhh" gesture to her and said, "What? Shame Yuying, don't be so loud, you will be heard! I have to buy sanitation and take it, go now!"
"Then I'll go with you!" Tang Yuying said again, and immediately stood up.
When the two girls' house hurried to the stairs and were about to go downstairs, Yi Zhuofeng, not far away, suddenly opened his mouth lightly and asked coldly, "What are you doing?"
At first, Shi Ruge and Tang Yuying stopped together. Shi Ruge turned his head and replied in a soft voice: "We'll go buy things and we'll be back soon." After that, she and Tang Yuying were about to step downstairs again.
"Don't go." Yi Zhuofeng said. His tone was so calm and light, so it was natural. I felt that Shi Ruge and Tang Yuying had to obey him at the moment.
Suddenly, Shi Ruge was stunned again, his neck shrank, and his black eyes widened, staring at him and asking him, "Why?"
