Chapter 8 Chapter VII

After Xiao Nuo came out of KFC, she broke up with Ma Ming and went home. When she got home, she turned on the computer and planned to relax before reviewing later. Anyway, today is Saturday. She hung up MSN, but Ti Yunzong was not online, and Xiao Nuo was not in the mood to chat with others, so she casually opened the homepage of Canxing Tower, clicked on the "Candle Shadow" column, and began to enjoy the novels inside.There are two novels here, the authors are Ming and Shengzhou respectively, plus half of the novel written by Jinghong (Tang Jing) earlier, this is all the Canxinglou series that Xiao Nuo has seen.

What Ming and Shengzhou told were all stories with themselves as the protagonists walking the rivers and lakes, but the writing styles were very different.Ming's writing style is fresh and pleasant, full of girlish immaturity and liveliness. Xiao Nuo feels that she is very similar to Midori in "Norwegian Forest"; while Sheng Zhou's writing is more vigorous and rigorous, and he writes with a straight line.Neither of the two articles was particularly long. Xiao Nuo quickly finished browsing Ming's articles and turned to Shengzhou's.She moved the mouse slowly, and accidentally saw this paragraph:

Tang Ming yelled coquettishly, raised her hand slightly, and the three jade needles came out in response to the sound, and the movement was extremely fast, and they met the man in white as soon as they saw it.I saw the man in white with a little right foot, and in an instant he jumped more than three feet high. The three jade needles passed by the soles of his boots and were firmly nailed to the Buddha statue behind him. When everyone saw it, their faces changed slightly.Tang Ming is the beloved daughter of the head of the Tang Sect in Central Sichuan. The Tang Sect is known for its hidden weapons. She obtained the "White Horse Crossing the Gap" hand from her father's true biography. It is extremely fast. Few people in the world can avoid this move. I can't think of it The man in white was able to dodge lightly, and everyone secretly admired his lightness kung fu.

Shengzhou thought to himself: "This man in white is unfathomable in martial arts, and Ming'er is definitely no match. If she makes a mistake, how can I explain to Master Tang?" Thinking of this, he pulled out his long sword "swish" and jumped. Entered the circle and shouted: "Wu that thief, don't be rude." Before the other party could respond, a move of "White Fish Leaving in the Sky" pointed directly at the big acupoint of the man in white. Seeing the rapid approach, the man in white was slightly surprised, but he had to take three steps back.Shengzhou's original intention was to force the enemy back. Seeing a successful move, he immediately changed from stabbing to slashing. He swung three swords in a row, and then unleashed his life's unique skills. The offensive continued continuously, and immediately enveloped the man in white in the sword light.

The two men tore apart thirty or forty moves, the man in white suddenly jumped away and said, "What do you call Mr. Luo from the Hainan Sword Sect and Your Excellency?" Hearing this, the man nodded in praise and said, "Brother Tai's Pleiades swordsmanship can be called a masterpiece." Shengzhou was shocked. He was originally from Guangzhou. Flooded on a deserted island.His father worked hard on the island for three years, and he was able to create a set of swordsmanship, which was even more powerful than the Hainan swordsmanship.There was a savage on the island who called himself "Pleiades", so his father called this sword technique "Pleiades".Afterwards, the two returned to the Central Plains, and never mentioned this sword art, and few people knew about it.Only then did Shengzhou know that ordinary moves would not be able to restrain this person, so he used this set of sword techniques as soon as he came up, but he was unexpectedly recognized by the man in white.

Tang Ming was puzzled when she heard this, and turned her head to ask Jinghong: "Sister, what did that man say to Brother Luo?" Liuli wanted to annoy her, so she said: "Of course it's a matter of marriage, the man in white and Luo The eldest brother’s family is a family friend, and he has been married for a long time, and he wants to marry his daughter to him.” Tang Ming was startled for a while, and then realized that this was Liuli’s nonsense, her pretty face flushed, and said angrily: “You are thinking of spring, but you are planted again. To someone else." Liu Li said: "I'm afraid that Nong thinks so in his heart, but he is afraid that others will not know." The two daughters have a crisp voice in Chuanzhong, and a soft voice in Wuyue, and the quarrel is really nice.The people around heard it, and their hearts were filled with joy.Jinghong frowned slightly, flicked his sleeves, and shouted to Liuli: "Stop arguing, it's not decent, if you continue to fight, I will send you back to Jiangnan." I dare not quarrel with Tang Ming again.

Here Sheng Zhou has stopped his move, but he still dare not be careless, the tip of the sword touches the ground and he holds his right hand obliquely, and his left leg slightly bent. Within ten feet is the defensive range, although it cannot control the enemy, but it will never be controlled by the enemy.Shengzhou didn't know the details of the man in the clothes, so he made this move first, and then asked: "How did you know this sword technique?" The man in white smiled and said: "Mr. I don’t know.” Shengzhou’s thoughts turned, and he suddenly thought of someone, and couldn’t help shouting: “Ah, are you Brother Xia from Yiyezhuang, Bengbu!?” The man in white said: “It’s the little brother.”

At first, Xiao Nuo just held down the mouse to browse casually, and quickly jumped over to read, but she always felt that there was something special about this passage, so she went back to read it carefully, and read it several times, and she suddenly realized: During this segment, all five members of the Remnant Star Building appeared.Ming is from the Tang Sect of Sichuan; Jinghong and Liuli are from Jiangnan; "Pleiades" is the homonym of "Maori", so the desert island must be an allusion to New Zealand.In reality, Zhang Chunhua (Ming) is from Chongqing; Tang Jing (Jinghong) and Su Xuejun (Liu Li) are both from Shanghai; and although Luo Shengzhou is not sure if he is from Guangzhou, it is certain that he studied in New Zealand.Obviously, in this novel, Luo Shengzhou designed his personal background according to his real origin and experience.That is to say, Xia Zishan of this "Bengbu Yiyezhuang" is probably in Bengbu City.

Thinking of this, Xiao Nuo saw that Ti Yunzong wasn't online yet, and quickly called Ma Ming.After listening to her analysis, Ma Ming said that he had a friend in Bengbu, and he could ask if there were any strange suicide cases around June 16th. After calling back, Ti Yunzong just happened to be online. (The following is in MSN format) Ti Yunzong said: I found it, I found it. Beria said: Oh?What did you find? Ti Yunzong said: Traces of Zishan. Beria said: ! !What a coincidence, I just found a clue too, but can't confirm it yet. Ti Yunzong said: You go ahead. Beria said:

Just read Shengzhou's novel and you will know that Zishan is probably from Bengbu. Ti Yunzong said: I gonna go see. Ti Yunzong said: In addition to his activities in the "Remnant Star Building", Zishan also went to "Youjian Inn", where he was called "Cold Face Flying Fox". This is the ID he used when I met him.The owner of an inn is very diligent, and will delete a batch of useless posts every so often. If he doesn't show up for a long time, all his posts will be deleted. Ti Yunzong said: But yesterday, someone mentioned an old post to the first page, and I found out that Zishan had followed that post and kept it until now.

address for you. Xiao Nuo opened the address and saw that the subject of this post was "How to evaluate Dongfang Bubai".Someone in it said that Dongfang Bubai likes gays, which is out-and-out abnormal. At this time, a person named Lengmian Feihu replied: "He only hates that he and Yang Lianting are of the same sex, and they can't live together. This mentality is not surprising, doesn't Jia Baoyu also belong to Qin Zhong?" The time was 10:40 on the night of May 5th. Beria says: I wrote down this address, can you delete it without asking Banzhu?I immediately asked others to check this IP to see. Ti Yunzong said: Hope to be of some use. Beria says: Thank you. Ti Yunzong said: No need to say thank you, hehe, I'm here to surprise you. Beria says: She knows, and she will be gratified. Ti Yunzong said: I hope so... The next day happened to be the founding day of the Communist Party of China on July 1st.Ma Ming found out the IP address, and then called Xiao Nuo back: "It's been confirmed. Just like your guess, that IP is from Bengbu...but I only know it's in Bengbu, so I can't be more specific." "Then... have your classmates in Bengbu found any useful news?" "No, he said he searched all over, and none of them mattered. Those few days were the most peaceful days in Bengbu." "...Then what should I do?" "There is only one way." "Oh?" "Through the Bengbu City Public Security Bureau, the country is now very strict with network management. There is a system called the 'Golden Shield Project' that is responsible for monitoring computers. Public security bureaus in various places have special management departments, and the details of that IP should be found there... Do you have any relatives or friends there?" "...It doesn't seem to be there." "Looks like we'll have to go there ourselves." "Bengbu..." Xiao Nuo hesitated on the phone, "I still have a final exam... By the way, wait until my exam is over, it happens to be summer vacation." "Actually, I can investigate it myself, you don't have to go." "No, I'm going." Xiao Nuo insisted, she finally got close to the answer, the truth is within reach, how can she be willing to stay out of it at this time. "In the Remnant Star Building, only Zishan's identity and status are unknown. This is our last clue. This investigation in Bengbu may lead to a decisive breakthrough, but it may also lead to nothing. From then on, the clues will be completely cut off. It has become an unsolved case. In any case, I hope to see the ending with my own eyes, even if it is the ending that completely makes me give up." Xiao Nuo said so, so Ma Ming no longer insisted. In the next few days, the weather was calm, and Ma Ming started to prepare for going to Bengbu, while Xiao Nuo concentrated on preparing for the exam.On July 5th, Xiao Nuo finished the last subject of the exam, and that night, she immediately contacted Ma Ming. Bengbu is a medium-sized city in Anhui Province, about 484 kilometers away from Shanghai, more than four hours by train.Ma Ming checked the train timetable and bought the T138 air-conditioned express from Shanghai to Xi'an, which passed Bengbu on the way. The price of a hard seat was about 70 yuan per person. The earliest train passing through Bengbu after the 5th of the month. "What did you say to your family?" Ma Ming asked casually when delivering tickets to Xiao Nuo. "Oh, I said I would do a summer social survey, and my mother agreed." Xiao Nuo blinked. "Hehe, this can't be considered a lie, it's actually a 'summer social survey'." Ma Ming opened his mouth and smiled, scratching his head at the same time. In the evening, Xiao Nuo opened her email box, and there was a Kaxiu greeting card from Ti Yunzong, with only one sentence written on it: GOOD LUCK. July 6th at 2:15pm. The weather turned hot this day, making people feel the power of summer early.The sky is cloudless, and people in the sun can't open their eyes.Xiao Nuo took a big backpack and wore a light blue dress, and took a taxi to the train station.At this time, the summer vacation had just begun, and it was the upsurge of students returning home. The train station was full of students carrying big bags and small bags in small groups, and vendors who were good at doing business also came to join in the fun. The waiting room and outside were chaotic and dusty. It makes people feel a little bored. Ma Ming arrived early as usual. He only brought a very simple travel bag and a plastic bag in his hand, which contained two packs of instant noodles and two bottles of mineral water.He changed into a more normal T-shirt and wore a 75-style straw hat on his head, which still looked... weird. He saw Xiao Nuo approaching, went up to meet her and took the big bag, and asked her with a smile: "Is everything ready?" "Uh-huh!" Xiao Nuo nodded vigorously. At this time, the radio in the train room sounded, and the T138 train began to check tickets.The two picked up their luggage and walked into the platform along with the long queue that moved slowly. The trip to Bengbu begins, but Xiao Nuo has no idea what is waiting for them ahead.
