I don’t know if it was just bad luck. I just said goodbye to the young monk Chang Ming, but before I had gone far, Li Nanke met another acquaintance.
Moreover, this acquaintance was someone he really didn't want to meet.
The woman clasped her hands on her chest and leaned against the wall as if waiting for someone.
Carrying a long box behind him.
Wearing a black outfit, her exquisite and convex figure was perfectly displayed. The tightly wrapped and slender legs were full of strong muscles, especially the waist curve, which was extremely thin, yet firm and firm.
It not only exudes a strong mature charm, but also contains a bit of youthful vitality.
There is a different kind of charm between a mature woman and a young girl.
With her tall ponytail and aloof temperament, she looks like a cold lady.
"Nie Qianhu."
When Li Nanke saw this, he bowed to the woman and was about to leave.
"Let's talk?"
Unexpectedly, Nie Ying spoke to him.
The voice was still cold.
One can't help but wonder if this woman has been frozen in an ice cave since she was born.
Leng Xinnan is cold on the outside and hot on the inside.
This woman... is probably cold inside.
Li Nanke stood still, cupped his hands and said, "If Master Qianhu wants to ask about Princess Shanyun's body, please forgive me for being incompetent and unable to give any useful clues."
Nie Ying pursed her pink lips and said nothing, but looked at him indifferently.
Li Nanke waited for a few seconds but didn't see a response from the other party, so he headed home.
But unexpectedly, after walking for a while, he found that the woman was following him, with a distance of about ten meters between them.
He stopped, and so did the other person.
When he leaves, so does the other party.
Li Nanke was at a loss and turned to Nie Ying and said, "Master Qianhu, I really can't help you."
The woman still looked at him with an indifferent expression.
Li Nanke opened his mouth to say something, but remembering Leng Xinnan's instructions, he was too lazy to talk to her anymore, so he turned around and left.
Nie Ying moved her long legs and continued to follow.
When he was almost home, Li Nanke turned around helplessly and stared at Sister Bingshan who was following closely, and said: "Master Qianhu, I really don't know. Instead of wasting time here, you should go find her quickly."
The woman's face was as cold as frost, and she turned a deaf ear.
It was the first time for Li Nanke to see such a person, and he was both funny and speechless.
Afraid that his wife would see him bringing another woman, Li Nanke walked up to Nie Ying and said, "Nie Qianhu, I've heard the rumor about Princess Shanyun, so if the people of Tianqiong Sect robbed the ice coffin, even if they don't
Even if Dongqi County is sealed off, they will not transport the ice coffin away.
In this case, you can conduct a blanket search and you will always find something.
It doesn't make any sense for you to follow me now, do you understand?"
"Please help me check."
The woman finally spoke.
But what he said made Li Nanke frown and feel very unhappy.
"Higashi Qianhu said before that this is a matter for the Shadow Guards. I am not qualified and have no interest in investigating."
"He is him, and I am me." Nie Ying said.
"Why?"
Li Nanke laughed, "Are you using your official position to pressure me? Although I am from the county government, I am already a member of the Night Patrol Department. The two departments cannot give orders to each other."
"I can recommend you to join the Shadow Guard."
"I dont go."
Li Nanke immediately refused.
Nie Ying frowned, and seemed to understand something when he saw the other person's resistant expression. He was silent for a moment, slightly raised his dazzling white long neck, and said coldly: "I owe you a favor."
The favor of someone of Nie Ying's level is worth a lot of money.
Li Nanke was puzzled: "You just believe me?"
"bet."
The woman's red lips uttered a word.
It was said to be a 'gamble', but in fact Li Nanke's ability shown before, coupled with Shen Chunhe's introduction, were enough to show that this man might be able to help her.
Even if you can't help, you haven't lost anything.
"Forget it, if you want me to say -"
Just as Li Nanke was speaking, his vision suddenly went dark, and his brain felt extremely dizzy again.
But this time, my head felt particularly heavy.
It seemed like there were huge rocks weighing down.
Nie Ying looked at him strangely: "What's wrong with you?"
Li Nanke waved his hands and wanted to say something, but every word was stuck in his throat and it was difficult to utter it. He felt like the world was spinning, and his body unconsciously fell towards the woman in front of him.
His hands instinctively grabbed forward, like a drowning person grabbing for life-saving straws.
But in the eyes of women, this looks like a man's wild hair.
"presumptuous!"
Nie Ying raised two frown-like eyebrows, with a cold look in her eyes.
With a flash of silver light, an Emei thorn slipped out of his sleeve, and he was about to teach this man who wanted to take advantage of him a profound lesson.
But soon she discovered that the man was not taking advantage, but was about to faint.
Nie Ying withdrew her Emei Thorn with a flick of her wrist and went to hold it up instead.
But she was naturally resistant to contact with the opposite sex. After feeling the approaching masculine aura of the opposite sex, she felt a surge of disgust in her heart and subconsciously turned sideways.
As a result, while hesitating whether to help or not, the man fell down.
Coincidentally, a hand grabbed her skirt...
There was only a sound of "chi la" and the sound of fabric tearing.
Faintly, Li Nanke seemed to catch a glimpse of a bright full moon jumping out of the dark clouds, which was extremely dazzling.
"It's over."
This was Li Nanke's inner cry when he was in a coma.
…
After an unknown amount of time, Li Nanke slowly opened his eyes in the cool mountain breeze and found himself leaning against a tree.
My back seemed to be soaked with sweat and felt sticky and uncomfortable.
A breeze blew by, and the leaves swayed with the wind, making a rustling sound.
The slender woman stood not far away, staring at the fading clouds in the sky. She was as quiet as a stone statue carved by heaven. Her long and slender legs contained the strength and strength of her muscles.
"woke up?"
Nie Ying turned around, her hair falling in front of her smooth forehead fluttering gently, like quicksand, silent and cold.
This cold royal sister style is very charming.
Li Nanke patted his forehead and apologized: "I'm sorry, I've been too tired these days."
He glanced at the woman's clothes.
The skirt of the clothes was tied up with a thin iron wire, and signs of being torn could be clearly seen.
Li Nanke lowered his head with a guilty conscience and did not dare to look.
That startling glance flashed through my mind again, thinking that this woman looked very thin and had quite a lot of material.
Fortunately, he fainted, otherwise he would have been beaten to death.
Nie Ying didn't react at all, her beautiful cheeks were still as cold as ice, and she said calmly: "You are too weak. If you don't have the ability, don't show off in bed, otherwise you will lose your life."
This does not sound sarcastic, but rather a well-intentioned persuasion.
But Li Nanke was furious and stared: "Who are you talking about? I take tonics every day."
"No wonder."
A sneer passed through the corner of the woman's lips.
The subtext is, if it is not empty, why do you take supplements every day?
Li Nanke was speechless and said in a dull voice: "Whatever you think, I am not interested in helping you solve the case. I don't want your favor, let alone get involved with the shadow guard."
"It is a serious crime to hide red rain secretly."
The woman threw a word lightly.
The man who was about to get up and leave was startled and quickly touched his chest.
Hongyu is missing a bottle!
He raised his head and stared at the woman, a red curtain formed in his eyes, and there was actually a hidden murderous intention floating around.
"Want to kill someone and silence them?"
Nie Ying held the small white porcelain bottle between her slender white fingers, her cold almond eyes filled with a hint of disdain. "Are you qualified?"
"This is what we found out through investigation, and we will report it when the time comes."
Li Nanke said in a deep voice.
Nie Ying half-smiled but said, "Oh, in that case, I might as well inform the Night Patrol Division in advance. But... Master Leng seems to be still looking for the lost Hongyu today."
Li Nanke remained silent.
Whoosh!
An arc passed through.
Li Nanke raised his hand to take the porcelain bottle thrown by the woman, looking puzzled.
Nie Yingdan said calmly: "I have no interest in prying into your secrets. Besides, your half-full bottle of 'Red Rain' and Leng Xinnan's protective temper will not be able to convict you of a big crime.
I still say the same thing, you help me investigate, I owe you a favor. As long as this favor is within my ability, I will never cheat on it."
Half a bottle missing?
Li Nanke heard the woman's words and unscrewed the cork.
Sure enough, there was only less than half of the 'Red Rain' inside.
He took out the other two bottles, but they were empty. The 'Red Rain' that was once full was gone!
how so?
Where is Hongyu?
These three bottles were kept on him all the time, and no one else could come into contact with them.
Was it stolen by Nie Ying?
But in the blink of an eye, I thought, there was no need to play this game with the other person if he wanted to steal.
The only possibility is his wife Luo Qianqiu.
Because yesterday when he was in coma, his wife changed his coat, but there was no reason for him to take his red rain.
Li Nanke's mind started to get confused again.
"How's it going? Have you thought clearly?" Nie Ying asked calmly.
Li Nanke tried to calm down and analyzed the pros and cons of being involved in this case in his mind. He finally made a decision and asked, "Have you found any clues?"
"have."
Nie Ying nodded. "We found a cave that had been dug before, but there was nothing inside."
[To be honest, I have been using Yeguo to read and catch up on books recently. I can switch sources and read aloud with many sounds. www. Android and Apple are available.]
"Take me to see it."
"good."
Nie Ying's red lips curled up slightly, knowing that the other party had agreed to help him.
…
Following Nie Ying, Li Nanke came to the cave that had been invaded by mudslides.
Judging from the structure of the underground tunnel, it is indeed manually excavated. It is narrow at the top and wide at the bottom, with several bends and flat passages.
There are many holes on the top of the cave, and the holes are connected together, like a huge mesh sieve.
In the uppermost part, there is a switch slate.
When the stone slab is opened, a large amount of debris flow will flow in, but the flow will be weakened by the dense holes.
"Smart."
Even though Li Nanke had made guesses before, he couldn't help but admire the methods of Tianqiong Sect.
He glanced at a net piled in the corner and analyzed:
"First lay a large net, wait for the ice coffin to be pushed by the mudslide and then move along the previously dug groove, then fix the ice coffin with the net and pull it towards the underground cave.
It doesn't require much effort, as long as it doesn't deviate from the direction. Wait for the ice coffin to reach the top of the cave, then open the stone slab and pour the ice coffin in along with the mudslide.
After the mechanism is closed, these holes will be used to slow down the impact of the mudslide, and then the people below will transport the ice coffin away..."
Li Nanke carefully observed every trace of the cave, but gradually tightened his brows.
"Not quite right."
"What's wrong?" Nie Ying asked.
Li Nanke pointed to the traces of mudslide penetration and said: "If the plan succeeds, there cannot be only these traces. The only possibility is that they changed the plan and changed to other connection points."
"Change the plan?"
Nie Ying was puzzled, "Why change the plan?"
Li Nanke's eyes were dark: "Logically speaking, this plan is perfect. The underground cave is very well designed and easy to transport out. It is also difficult for the shadow guards to find it. There is no need to change it. Unless -"
"Unless there's a spy out there, they have no choice but to change their plans!"
Nie Ying gave his own inference.
Li Nanke shook his finger: "If there is a spy, then the entire plan will have to be changed. Just temporarily changing the pick-up location will not work. The only possibility is that there is an internal conspiracy."
"The black eats the black?"
"Yes, there is a gangsterism within the Tianqiong Sect!"
Li Nanke said in a deep voice.
Nie Ying quickly sorted out the information about the Tianqiong Sect in his mind, and said: "The person who robbed the ice coffin this time was Yan Shuangdao, which shows that the person behind the scenes is Wan Wuya, the deputy leader of the Tianqiong Sect.
Nangong Ge, the other deputy leader of Tianqiong Sect, has always been at odds with him, and the two sides have been fighting for power for many years.
If the enemy takes advantage of others, then it is Nangong Ge."
Regarding the situation of Tianqiong Sect, Li Nanke had already learned about it from Leng Xinnan.
Since the death of the leader He Nantian, the power within the church has been controlled by the two deputy leaders.
They are Wan Wuya and Nangong Ge respectively.
Wan Wuya supports the leader's daughter He Panjun as the new leader, but Nangong Ge is opposed to it.
As a result, the position of leader has been delayed until now.
If Wan Wuya is the mastermind behind the robbery of the ice coffin, what role did He Panjun play?
Recalling He Panjun's previous 'harassment' to him, Li Nanke fell into deep thought.
In order to verify his conjecture, Li Nanke continued to look for other caves nearby.
Sure enough, another smaller hole was discovered a hundred meters away.
Here, you can rob the ice coffin one step in advance.
But after carefully investigating the cave, Li Nanke still shook his head: "No, it's not here either. Moreover, the location was not chosen well. The geology is soft and it can easily be blocked by mudslides."
The two continued to search.
After half a stick of incense, Li Nanke finally discovered a cave that had been buried by a mudslide in a very secluded place.
Although the design is simple, it is very safe and the ice coffin can be robbed in advance.
Now Nie Ying was lost in the lake.
"Is it possible that there are still black people who eat black people and eat black people again?"
Li Nanke didn't respond. He followed the transportation route designed by the cave and came to the entrance of a low slope cave that had been buried.
After conducting a detailed investigation, Li Nanke affirmed: "The ice coffin was transported from here."
"you sure?"
"Yes, I'm sure." The man nodded.
"It would be very difficult for such a big ice coffin to be smuggled out secretly and hidden in a place where no one would find it. This means that there are places to hide in the surrounding area."
Nie Ying's cold eyes looked around, and her eyes gradually focused on a temple not far away.
Lichen Temple?
Li Nanke sat on a stone and began to sort out clues.
Although there is no direct proof, judging from the wisdom shown by He Panjun before, this plan to use the mudslide to rob the ice coffin should have been designed by her.
Including the first burrow discovered.
The structure is so exquisite that it is obviously a plan that has been brewing for a long time.
But judging from the roughness of the structure, the second hole was obviously dug by someone else to imitate the first hole.
This is a typical 'cutting off' behavior.
This person did not know enough about the destructive power of mudslides, and the place he chose was very dangerous.
As for the third cave.
Although the structure is also simple, the transportation efficiency is extremely high, and the safety factor is also extremely high.
It is similar to the first underground cave.
Li Nanke took out a small book and wrote on it with charcoal 'He Panjun', 'Wan Wuya', 'Nangong Ge', 'Yan Shuangdao' and others, and began to sort out the information he knew.
The mastermind behind the robbery of the ice coffin is the deputy leader Wan Wuya.
The person who made the plan was He Panjun, the daughter of the former leader.
The person who carried out the plan was the protector elder Yan Shuangdao.
Although Wan Wuya has been recommending He Panjun as the new leader of the Tianqiong Sect, his real purpose is to "hijack the emperor to order the princes."
Using He Panjun as a puppet, he holds power behind the scenes.
But this woman, He Panjun, obviously would not accept the other party's control, and had been secretly developing her own power within the church.
So from this point we can analyze:
Yan Shuangdao and He Panjun do not trust each other.
"Distrust..."
After analyzing this, Li Nanke straightened up abruptly, his eyes sparkling. "I understand!"
Nie Ying raised her eyebrows, waiting for the other party's answer.
Li Nanke said: "All the plans to rob the ice coffin were designed by He Panjun. But Yan Shuangdao is a Wanwuya man, and he doesn't trust any Panjun, so he does it secretly.
So he dug a new hole in the ground without telling He Panjun and planned to cut off the beard!
However, Yan Shuangdao miscalculated.
Because others had already known that this guy was up to something, they actually took one step ahead and intercepted him, and then the third hole appeared.
Therefore, the ice coffin must be in the hands of this woman, He Panjun!"
Under the man's analysis, Nie Ying quickly figured out everything that happened.
Yan Shuangdao was afraid of being plotted by He Panjun, so he secretly dug a new hole.
Unexpectedly, he was tricked by He Panjun.
What is this called?
Before you plot against me, I have already plotted against you!
"Awesome, really awesome."
This was the first time that Li Nanke admired a woman so much and didn't know how to evaluate her.
I can only say that He Panjun really has insight into human nature.
I was sure that Dong Wankun would not listen to the advice, and I was sure that Yan Shuangdao would be careful.
"Besides, I heard that Guishen Qiang also tried to stop you. It's very possible that He Panjun and Guishen Qiang are in the same group, and the two of them secretly cooperated."
Li Nanke said again.
The figure of the woman wearing a bamboo hat appeared in his mind.
The other party once reminded him of the clues about the 'mudslide' in a restaurant for no reason, which shows that she already knew the Tianqiong Sect's internal plan at that time.
Judging from the post-analysis, it must have cooperated with the people of Tianqiong Sect.
This person is only He Panjun.
Nie Ying frowned: "But I got a clue not long ago that Guishen Qiang had a meeting with Nangong Ge."
"Oh, there is another one?"
Li Nanke was stunned for a moment, then laughed, "Meeting does not mean cooperation, maybe it is to confuse other people?"
Nie Ying's beautiful eyes condensed, and surprise appeared on her cold and frosty cheeks: "You mean, this is He Panjun's method? The purpose is to confuse Yan Shuangdao and the others? Make them mistakenly think that Nangong Ge has cut off Hu. ."
"right."
Li Nanke has a sharp gaze.
After seeing the man's ability, Nie Ying believed the man's inference and murmured: "I can't believe that someone as aloof and arrogant as Guishenqiang can cooperate with others."
"After all, Princess Shanyun has a special status."
Li Nanke smiled.
Seeing the long box the woman was carrying, he couldn't help but ask: "What is that? I remember you didn't carry this thing before."
"Ghost Spear."
Nie Ying opened the long box and showed the weapons inside.
