Chapter 84: Thirty-six students, walking through Jinling by sword (1)
Owen Peak's death is an unsolved case.
However, Du Ruo, as the first suspect, was easily cleared of suspicion. When the two returned to the inn that night, although it was already very late, there were still a few vendors selling food.
Moreover, when they were not far in front of the inn, Du Ruo happened to go to buy fried chestnuts with Owen Feng. The old man was so impressed by the two of them that he bought all the remaining chestnuts in one go to make him happy.
come home early.
It was also the old man who came out to do the certification and confirmed that Du Ruo and Wen Feng returned to the inn together. It happened that both Du Ruo and Wen Feng still had a lot of uneaten chestnuts left in their rooms.
Du Ruo only entered the escort room for one night and was released the next day.
Xue Hongyi escorted Du Ruo out of the yamen. From a distance, Du Ruo saw Heitou waiting beside the stone lion outside the yamen.
"I will send you here." Xue Hongyi stopped and said, "Du Ruo, we have just met each other. Let me remind you that the French Open is very comprehensive and there are no omissions. God is watching what you do."
Du Ruo slowly turned around, looked at Xue Hongyi, and said, "Xue Captou still thinks that I am the murderer of Brother Ou?"
Xue Hongyi shook her head and said: "I'm not talking about this, you should understand what I'm saying, Gang Leader Du!"
Du Ruo nodded and said: "I understand, but I also want to ask Capt. Xue for advice. Gangs like the Canglang Gang are right under your nose. Can you say that they are all regular businessmen?
"
Xue Hongyi choked.
"But it still exists."
Du Ruo added: "Xue Captou, let me remind you that there is no absolute light in the world. Everyone yearns for light. Therefore, in the dark night, there is a lamp, but this lamp still cannot light up the whole world.
For example, the government office you work in is also the same, there are black and white?"
Xue Hongyi frowned deeply and said: "I understand what you said, but I still hope that you will not go astray. Really, although I have not known you for a long time, I can feel that,
If you... choose light, you will definitely be able to illuminate the earth, but if you choose darkness, you can also cover the earth."
Xue Hongyi looked at Du Ruo deeply and said, "I hope you choose the light."
"Light and darkness are not just what you see."
Du Ruo smiled slightly, cupped his hands, and slowly turned around and left.
Blackhead came over and put a cloak on Du Ruo. In the early morning, Jinling was shrouded in a lot of fog, the air was full of moisture, and when the wind came, it was slightly cold.
A policeman at the Yamen Gate came to Xue Hongyi and whispered: "Boss, Du Ruo is too dangerous. Should we pay attention..."
Xue Hongyi waved her hand to interrupt the catcher's words, looked at Du Ruo who was walking away, sighed deeply, and said: "Anyway, he is just a teenager. He has lived since he was a child."
It's naturally different to have such a hard life, but as long as he is guided by good people, he will definitely be able to take the right path!"
…………
"Master, that female catcher is investigating you."
Heitou carried a knife on his back and followed Du Ruo, walking on the somewhat cold street. When he turned a corner, he suddenly said: "It's not just because of Mr. Ou."
"I know." Du Ruo said, "Don't worry about her. By the way, what happened to Brother Ou's death? Did you find anything?"
"No." Heitou said: "Young Master Ou came back with you that night, but his body appeared under the bridge at the end of Zhuangyuan Street. His throat was sealed with a sword, and he showed no resistance at all.
"
Du Ruo intertwined his fingers and put them on his belly, his cloak was gently blown by the wind, and said: "Either he is an acquaintance or a master. If he can move the body out of the inn without disturbing anyone, he is more likely to be a master.
"
Heitou nodded and said: "According to the inference from the Yamen Office, Mr. Ou should have returned about an hour after you came back. Unfortunately, at that time, there was no one on the street."
Du Ruo pondered for a moment and said: "Forget it, we can't help with this kind of thing. Let's wait for news from the Yamen. Well, in addition, I killed people from the Canglang Gang in prison this time. Please pay attention during this time.
Try not to go out."
"Yes." Blackhead nodded.
Du Ruo has nothing to worry about offending the Canglang Gang. Anyway, he is only here to take the provincial examination. As soon as he passes the provincial examination, he will return to Sichuan. If the Canglang Gang dares to reach out to Sichuan, it will be the Canglang Gang who will be unlucky.
…………
On August 13th, there was still no result in the case of Ou Wenfeng's murder. However, the limelight of this matter had gradually faded away. After all, the day for the provincial examination was getting closer. Regardless of whether they were sure or not, all the students had already
Entered into a tense atmosphere.
This is the third day after Du Ruo was released from prison. However, Chu Tianfang, a fellow from Shuzhong, is still in the detention room. Du Ruo visited Chu Tianfang yesterday with a lot of food.
In today's Zhuangyuan Street, whether it is day or night, the number of fallen police officers has increased several times. This is not only because more and more students are coming to take the provincial examination, but also partly because of Owen Feng's death.
After a certain conclusion, the Yamen was also a little anxious.
This also allowed Du Ruo to take advantage of the situation.
After all, he killed people from the Canglang Gang in prison. The Canglang Gang must want to get the place back, but now that the limelight is in full swing, the Canglang Gang does not dare to commit crimes against the trend.
Early that morning, a group of sword-wielding men in robes suddenly appeared outside the inn. They were all young men, all wearing blue robes, with a green flying crane tattooed on their left sleeves and chests. Dozens of horses were parked on the street, and dozens of horses were parked on the street.
Everyone landed in unison and walked into the inn.
When this group of people entered the inn, they immediately attracted the attention of everyone in the inn.
"People from Heshan Academy."
Someone recognized these people, wearing green shirts and flying cranes, which is the symbol of Heshan Academy.
At that moment, everyone in the inn basically understood that it must be for Chu Tianfang, who was still in prison.
Du Ruo sat at the table, chewing the steamed bun slowly, and looking at these people. He had been coming to Jinling for a few days and had met many academy disciples, but this was the first time that so many of them appeared at one time.
The disciples of these academies usually hang out together, but no academy has more than ten students who come to take the provincial examination. When dozens of young people dressed in uniform suddenly appear, it's hard not to pay attention.
However, among this group of uniformly dressed people, there are two familiar faces. They are the same two people who followed Chu Tianfang to fight the Canglang Gang last time.
Just at this moment, one of them saw Du Ruo, walked forward, pointed at Du Ruo, and said to an older student at the head of Heshan Academy: "Brother Yuchen, this is Brother Du Ruo!"
Du Ruo was stunned for a moment and looked at the student named Yu Chen. Yu Chen happened to look over, strode over, cupped his hands and said, "Brother Du, I'm Yu Chen from Heshan Academy. I've heard about what happened in the prison."
