MTL - Cannon Fodder Counterattack Investigation System-Chapter 39
At the end of the deep path is the precept hall of Qingyang Mountain. The tall and simple buildings exude an old and serious atmosphere.
The two gatekeeper disciples stood straight outside the heavy gate without turning their eyes. One of them suddenly said "huh" and turned his head to look at the grass hidden in the darkness.
"What's wrong?"
"...I seem to have seen a shadow flicker just now."
Although the two disciples didn't quite believe it, they went to check it out. Except for the lush and lush grass, there was no one there. In the end, I just thought it was dazzled and went back to guard the gate.
Just under the grass that the two disciples inspected just now, Zhou Ziruo was lying on his stomach holding his breath. He carefully moved out of the grass, jumped onto the window sill, and just opened the window, a cold word fell on the top of his head, "Who is it?"
The window was wide open, and Lu Lixiao's hand stopped in mid-air. Zhou Ziruo didn't expect to see Lu Lixiao so easily, and his brows were brimming with joy. Lu Lixiao withdrew his hands and crossed his arms to look at him for a while, then sighed: "Why did you change back again?"
Then Zhou Ziruo remembered that he was a fox now.
Lu Lixiao just asked casually, but Zhou Ziruo actually answered him in human language: "I used to change my form to save myself in an emergency, but now I return to my original form when my spiritual power is exhausted. But I can speak human language. Make progress."
It's definitely hard to tell what the system points are, but that's basically what it means.
Lu Lixiao lifted Zhou Ziruo's front paws to the futon on the floor, sat down cross-legged, and then put Zhou Ziruo on his lap.
"Have you been to the library?"
I'm going to the hero, have you opened your eyes?
"I just came out of the library, and I have read the records of the old case thirty years ago."
Lu Lixiao said "hmm".
Zhou Ziruo said, "Don't you have any clues to tell me?"
Lu Lixiao said, "Don't you know everything?"
Zhou Ziruo was dumbfounded. He thought that what key clues did Lu Lixiao hold on the old case thirty years ago that could be related to this case! So Lu Lixiao just found out that this case was the same as the old case 30 years ago and asked him to watch it? This can obviously be told to him verbally!
"Why are you looking for me?" Lu Lixiao asked suddenly.
Zhou Ziruo himself didn't know why he came here, but the moment he heard Leng Mo mention that Lu Lixiao was locked in the precept hall alone, he walked over spontaneously.
He wouldn't confess this to Lu Lixiao, and turned his head away.
Lu Lixiao rubbed his furry ears and chuckled, "Worried about me?"
Who is worried about your little master? I don’t worry about you. Why are you laughing? I think my laughter sounds good! And don’t play with my young master’s ears!
Zhou Ziruo's head dodged left and right under Lu Lixiao's clutches, Lu Lixiao let go of his ears, lifted him up to eye level, and looked at him.
Zhou Ziruo was at a loss under such direct gaze, he felt fortunate that he was a fox now, otherwise Lu Lixiao would have noticed that his face would turn red.
"You...don't look at me like that...we were still fighting...I'm still angry..."
"Did we quarrel?" Lu Lixiao looked amnesiac.
Zhou Ziruo was angry: "I was driven out of the yard by you, how dare you say that there was no quarrel? If you didn't drive me out, maybe that guy would not dare to attack you and I don't have to stay up in the middle of the night and run around..."
His words suddenly stopped because he saw a smile in Lu Lixiao's eyes.
"So you're running around without sleep most of the night" because of me?"
I wipe! This guy deliberately pretended to have amnesia to lure him to say something about him!
Zhou Ziruo lowered his head angrily, and was about to really ignore him, when Lu Lixiao said, "Thank you for your hard work."
Hmm... Actually, it's not particularly hard work. I used to stay up all night when I went to school and work...
Lu Lixiao lifted Zhou Ziruo a little higher, and looked into his eyes from below, "I chased you as soon as you left, but I was suddenly attacked by the man in the black cloak, so I couldn't catch up with you."
Zhou Ziruo felt that he was very spineless, and his anger dissipated after listening to a few soft words, but Lu Lixiao didn't even say a word of apology.
He raised his small paw to rest on the bridge of Lu Lixiao's nose, and pressed it with the pad. Lu Lixiao grabbed his paw and squeezed it, brought it to his lips for a kiss, and then gave him a handsome smile.
Zhou Ziruo's entire face was on fire in an instant, probably even his head was covered with heat, and he actually leaned over to touch the tip of Lu Lixiao's nose with his wet nose, and then kissed his thin lips.
Lu Lixiao was a little dazed, but Zhou Ziruo had already realized what he had done, and hurriedly struggled in Lu Lixiao's hands. Lu Lixiao put him down, and Zhou Ziruo curled up into a ball of fur on the ground, refusing to look up at him.
Lu Lixiao caressed his furry body and said to himself, "When will you be able to transform again?"
Zhou Ziruo was so sensitive that he got goose bumps all over his body.
Shapeshifting again? ? Hero, what do you want the young master to do? ? I think it's good to be a cute little fox!
Lu Lixiao stood up and walked towards the door, Zhou Ziruo secretly turned around and saw him making gestures to open the door.
What is this for? Brother, you are currently being imprisoned|imprisoned, do you know that?
Lu Lixiao pushed open the two heavy doors, and the two disciples outside turned around suspiciously. Before they could finish shouting "Fourth Senior Brother", Lu Lixiao knocked each on the back of the head, and fell unconscious on the ground.
Zhou Ziruo stared dumbfounded at Lu Lixiao straightening the two of them upright, pretending to be guarding the gate, then turned to him and said, "Let's go."
Zhou Ziruo was speechless in admiration for this fresh and refined way of escaping from prison.
"Where are we going now?" Zhou Ziruo followed.
Lu Lixiao picked him up, "Junior Brother Leng."
"Um?"
"Didn't he take you to the classics library?" After Lu Lixiao finished speaking, Ta Ye flew up.
Zhou Ziruo thought when he was carrying him through the woods: The hero must have opened his eyes!
When they came to Leng Mo's small courtyard, the person who opened the door was Mu Qijun. Mu Qijun was surprised to see the star, and warmly invited Lu Lixiao into the room, "Brother Xiao, Daxia Lu, I, Mu Qijun, if you often mention you to me, I will look up to you for a long time!"
Who so often mentions the male lead in front of you! It's just nonsense. Zhou Ziruo slandered.
Lu Lixiao looked at him carefully, "Ruoruo? Who are you?"
Mu Qijun felt the cold wind hit his face inexplicably. At this time, Leng Mo came out of the inner room and said, "He is the elder brother of the junior brother, and Mo Qinghuajue is the proof. Fourth senior brother, Mo Qinghuajue is the one you gave to the junior brother, right?" ?”
"Brother?" Lu Lixiao's eyes fell on the fox in his hand, and he said word by word, "I did give him Mo Qing Hua Jue."
Zhou Ziruo couldn't help shivering, the hair on his body stood on end.
"Fourth senior brother, you came out of the precept hall..." Leng Mo hesitated.
Lu Lixiao said: "Soon there will be a large-scale search for me, let me hide here with you."
Leng Mo nodded firmly: "Don't worry, Fourth Senior Brother, I won't let anyone find you."
"Um... Hero Lu, did you plan to investigate the case and clear up your grievances yourself when you escaped from prison?" Mu Qijun interjected weakly.
Lu Lixiao raised the corners of his eyes towards him, and replied, "There is a plan."
Leng Mo took out the book from the classics library from his jacket, spread it out on the table, and several people gathered around the table.
"This incident is related to the old case 30 years ago. If the murderer of the two cases is not the same person or has no connection, then someone deliberately imitated the modus operandi of 30 years ago." Leng Mo said.
Mu Qijun said: "There are actually not many people who know about the old case thirty years ago, or who are directly related to the old case."
Leng Mo pointed to the names on the paper, "Duan Peng, the eldest disciple of the deceased, has passed away. The second disciple is Master, who is now the head of the sect. The third and fifth disciples are Master Du and Master Ouyang respectively. The seventh disciple Uncle Yunhao is wandering outside..."
Zhou Ziruo took a few steps while listening to read the words on the book clearly, just as he walked up to Mu Qijun's hand, his back suddenly sank, and Lu Lixiao pulled him back. Zhou Ziruo's claws left several long marks on the table, and in his heart he angrily scolded Lu Lixiao for his mad possessiveness. When he stepped back, he happened to see the name "Lu Chenzhou" on the book.
He couldn't help but look back at Lu Lixiao.
The surname is Lu, and he is also the fourth disciple. Isn't this a coincidence?
"The fourth disciple, Lu Chenzhou, and the eighth disciple, Meng Ruoying, are not in the sect now, and their whereabouts are unknown for the time being. The sixth disciple, Si Qin Jiangyue, was suspected of the murderer at the beginning. Will this incident have something to do with the three of them?" Mu Qi Jun looked up at the others.
The room was so quiet that a needle could be heard, Leng Mo's face was cold for some reason, and Lu Lixiao was also silent.
Mu Qijun gave two awkward "cough coughs" and changed the subject: "Hero Lu, you must have an idea when you ran out of the precept hall, right?"
Lu Lixiao said: "Since there is no clue about this case, why not investigate the case from 30 years ago, maybe there will be unexpected discoveries."
"But there are no clues about the old case thirty years ago in the door. Besides, you are escaping now, and you can't get information from head Qiu and the elders."
Lu Lixiao raised his chin and pointed his eyes at Duan Peng's name recorded in the book, "It's not necessary to look for clues in the door. There may be important clues hidden behind the people involved in the incident back then."
The remaining three people all have a feeling of enlightenment, indeed, they can be found from the deceased back then! The death of Duan Peng is the beginning of everything, and this source may have an unknown secret!
If you want to thoroughly investigate Duan Peng, you need to find the file that records the information of the disciples from thirty years ago. It is already three o'clock in Yinshi, and this matter is arranged for tomorrow.
Leng Mo put away the booklet, and was thinking about where to hide Lu Lixiao, when the door of the small courtyard was knocked heavily.
Then Wei Heng said coldly: "Junior Brother Leng, we are ordered by the head to search for Lu Lixiao, the disciple of Dai Zui, and open the door quickly!"
