Chapter 109: Talk about secrets, welcome Qier to wake up
Qin Shaobai was really surprised when he heard Xiaolan say that when she first came to Nanyang, she met the missing Lan Yu.
"Then why didn't you save her? You are Duan Zhilan's daughter, you should be good at martial arts."
Seeing that Qin Shaobai was so anxious, Xiaolan coughed violently again, and Qin Shaobai quickly brought a cup of ginseng tea.
"Actually, my mother has never wanted me to learn martial arts, so she has never taught me any martial arts, let alone the Duan family's mentality that is not passed down to others."
"Then how did you escape? And how did you get this martial arts skill?"
Xiaolan's eyes turned to the distant sky.
"That day, when we were in the cave, we heard someone shouting on the mountain, and it was Miss Lan Yu's name."
"I saw the girl next to me who seemed very nervous, but her nervousness didn't feel like a surprise, but more like anger, as if something was going to happen next that would make her very unhappy.
Things are normal."
"I thought at that time that this girl must be Lan Yu, and I was also very sure that this girl did not want to be found by outsiders."
"So, when someone came to us with their faces covered and asked us who was Lan Yu, I saw that the girl was silent, so I raised my hand without hesitation and said, my name is Lan Yu."
"You took Lan Yu's name?" Qin Shaobai couldn't believe his ears. At that time, Xiaolan must have been only seven or eight years old, but she actually had such a good idea.
He suddenly felt that the woman in front of him was really scary, and he couldn't help but take a step back.
Xiaolan couldn't see this change in his mood, but she was too lazy to say anything, just smiled faintly:
"Although my mother did not teach me martial arts, during the years when I accompanied my mother to escape from the Duan family, I have long since learned how to protect myself and how to use others to survive."
Seeing that Qin Shaobai was still silent, she couldn't help but lamented: "Brother Qin, even if I don't use Miss Lan Yu's name, she is still unwilling to go back. She is destined to die."
Qin Shaobai let out a long sigh: "Don't tell anyone about this, especially Song Ci. I'm afraid he will be sad again."
"Of course I won't say it, because I only recently learned that Miss Lan Yu's death was not that simple."
Xiaolan said, took out a folded piece of paper from her body and spread it out carefully...
Qin Shaobai took a closer look, his face turned pale, and his hand holding the note trembled.
That's a transcript of a conversation.
The person who recorded it seemed to be very careful and only used simple A and B to replace the two speakers.
A seemed to be reporting the situation to B, briefly talking about Lan Yu's situation in the cave. It turned out that they had known for a long time that Xiaolan had faked Lan Yu's name. A was asking B if he should hand over Lan Yu.
Kill Xiaolan.
B doesn't seem to like talking much. There is only a brief "No" after his name.
A asked again how to deal with Xiaolan.
B only said two short words: Don't worry.
A continued to ask how to deal with sapphire.
B said a few more words this time: Just like everyone else.
The most important sentence is here.
A said: Sir, will you agree?
B again gave six words: You just need to listen to me.
Qin Shaobai was a little confused by A's last words.
A said: Master, if Miss Lan Yu dies, won’t you be sad?
The conversation record ends here, and B’s answer is blank.
But from Lan Yu's death a few years later, we can infer that B must have said unfeeling words at that time, and it was precisely because of these words that Lan Yu died.
Qin Shaobai took this piece of paper and turned it around again.
Why does this piece of paper exist?
Did A and B ask a third person to record it deliberately, or was it a person hiding in the dark who secretly recorded it.
But judging from the record on this paper, the contents on the paper should be true.
That means that the person who kidnapped Miss Lan Yu was indeed an acquaintance.
As for that gentleman, he should be secretly interested in Miss Lan Yu, and he should even be an important relative and friend of Miss Lan Yu.
And this person should have a high status. That's why A cares about his feelings.
As for B, he also seemed to have a lot of affection for Miss Lan Yu. His simple words made Qin Shaobai feel helpless and even a little heartbroken.
In other words, B is willing to sacrifice the relationship between himself and Lan Yu in order to achieve a certain great cause.
Is this feeling family affection or love?
If it is a family relationship, then the suspects should be Mr. Nishiyama and his family.
Qin Shaobai remembered that Mr. Xishan also had a son who was a general, Miss Lan Yu's brother Lan Ping.
Then could this B be him?
What if it's love?
Qin Shaobai suddenly didn't dare to think about it anymore.
He didn't want to have any suspicion about his idol, but the way Song Ci handled certain cases these days had made Qin Shaobai realize that Song Ci was also taboo about something.
"Xiaolan, where did you find this note?"
"I went to Yuanlou that day. I originally wanted to find some prescriptions to treat eight children. However, I found such a box in the secret room. When I opened the box, I saw this piece of paper."
"You mean, Princess Chaoyang has known about this for a long time."
Xiaolan glanced at Qin Shaobai: "It's normal for the princess to know. You know, the princess has been collecting information in the past few years. Maybe someone sold this information to her."
After thinking about it, Xiaolan added: "I think the princess has not determined who A and B in this note are, otherwise she would have told Mr. Xishan and Mr. Song."
"Xiaolan, who do you think that B is?"
Qin Shaobai asked timidly, as if he would get an answer he didn't want if he asked.
Who would have thought that Xiaolan shook her head vigorously: "After I got the note, I thought for a long time and matched all the people I could think of, but no one met this requirement."
"So, where is Mr. Xishan? And where is Mr. Song?"
Xiaolan raised her head suddenly and looked at Qin Shaobai with incredible eyes: "Brother Qin, how can you doubt them two? If there are people worthy of absolute trust in Song Dynasty, besides you, the only ones are Mr. Song and Mr. Xishan
Already."
Seeing that Xiaolan was so sure, Qin Shaobai couldn't say anything more, so he asked Xiaolan to put the note away.
It doesn't work even if you think about it. If Princess Chaoyang knows about this, Xiaolan will definitely not end well.
He thought it would be better to let Xiaolan send the note back to Yuanlou.
Xiaolan burst out laughing and looked at Qin Shaobai with tender eyes: "Brother Qin, the paper you saw was copied by me according to that person's handwriting. How could I have the courage?
Dare to steal something from Yuan Lou."
Qin Shaobai had to admire Xiaolan's thoughtfulness.
He was about to ask how Xiaolan met Princess Chaoyang and how she acquired such martial arts skills, but he heard bursts of crying coming from the iron cage.
The seven children were huddled in the corner of the cage, crying.
Their faces have also returned to normal, and the blood-red color is no longer visible in their eyes. Even the tears flowing on their faces are particularly crystal clear.
Qin Shaobai was so excited that he didn't know what to say. He circled around the iron cage. At first he was far away, but he slowly got closer to the cage.
The children were crying and looking at him in fear, with no intention of getting up and attacking him.
Qin Shaobai pressed his chest, and he could feel his rapid breathing.
When he raised his eyes, Xiaolan was looking at him with a smile. This made Qin Xiaobai more confident and courageous. He walked around the iron cage again and knocked on the iron cage lightly a few times.
The children stopped crying this time, and their eyes were full of curiosity. Those were the eyes of ordinary children.
Qin Shaobai couldn't restrain his inner joy. He walked around the iron cage for the third time, tapping the cage lightly with every step he took to see if the children would react impulsively.
One child suddenly laughed out loud, and this sound spread to all the children, and they all laughed out loud.
That sound, to Qin Shaobai's ears, was simply more beautiful than the fairy music in the sky.
"Xiaolan, they, they are back to normal."
Qin Shaobai rushed forward happily, picked up Xiaolan and spun her around several times.
He heard the children in the iron cage snickering, and one child boldly said to him: "Big brother hugs sister, big brother loves sister."
Qin Shaobai immediately felt that the person in his arms was feeling hot all over. He quickly put down Xiaolan, but still held her hand excitedly: "Xiaolan, hurry up, go and see if the children are normal."
Xiaolan's face was flushed, as if the morning glow had dyed her thoughts red.
She looked at Qin Shaobai with her bright eyes: "Brother Qin, if you hold my hand, how can I help the children feel their pulses?"
"Oh, yes, yes, go and check your pulse quickly, you will definitely get better news. Yizi, Yizi, where are you? Go quickly, go and tell everyone, children, the children are back to normal.
"
Everyone rushed over in a hurry, and when they saw this scene, they were all dumbfounded.
But in just an instant, joy completely enveloped them.
Cheers spread.
Song Ci and Li Xiaolin had already stepped forward to hug the children one by one and check their pulses.
A smile spread across his face.
"Children, have the children really woken up? Have they really turned back into our children?"
Everyone turned around and saw Mr. Chen standing tremblingly in front of the door. Behind him were a group of expectant men and women.
Everyone's face is so haggard, but every haggard face is filled with sad excitement at this time.
"Old man, folks, the children are now normal. The children have been saved."
Qin Shaobai rushed over and helped the old man towards the iron cage.
When the seven children saw Old Mrs. Chen, they all knelt down.
"Old Master, the children have realized their mistake. The children should not be playful and leave the village."
"It's all over, it's all over." Old Mrs. Chen got into the iron cage excitedly and held the children in his arms. "I survived. How great. I survived."
