"It seems to be Wang Lang's residence. Why can't he see other people after it was burned like this?" Wen Ruyue asked strangely.
Mu Qianyu lay lazily on the hillside, yawned and said, "Maybe he went out."
"How much have you drunk and you are so drunk?" Wen Ruyue expressed her disgust at Mu Qianyu who just wanted to sleep.
Mu Qianyu waved his hand: "I really can't do it anymore. Sir, you can drink it by yourself. I'll chat with you."
Wen Ruyue reluctantly agreed.
Mu Qianyu looked down the mountain. It was not yet completely dark but the entire mountain forest was already illuminated by the fire as bright as day. She hummed to the tune of a modern song, thinking about what people would think when they found out.
The fire was quickly extinguished. Just when Wen Ruyue thought there was no more excitement to watch, she suddenly heard someone shouting from below: "There is a burnt corpse here."
"What?" Everyone was surprised.
How could someone in the academy die so peacefully?
Wen Ruyue immediately stopped watching the excitement and frowned: "How could someone be killed?"
"What?" Mu Qianyu was already confused, but now he opened his eyes again.
"You are here, I will go down and take a look." Wen Ruyue stuffed her wine bottle into Mu Qianyu's arms.
"Sir..." When Mu Qianyu spoke, Wen Ruyue had already stepped on the flying sword, and a stream of light went down.
"No, you left as if I was the only one here watching the fun. If this is discovered, I won't be fined any resources." Mu Qianyu said this and ran back to the room.
This time she didn't plan to sleep on the ground, she slept directly on Wen Ruyue's bed and covered herself with a quilt.
What she wanted to do has been done, and she can make as much trouble as she likes outside.
What she didn't know was that this kind of thing had never happened in the academy. The academy exploded on the day it was discovered. Only two days ago, one person died on the ring, and now another person was burned to death?
Why have people died in succession in the past two days in the pure land that was originally the safest place in the entire dynasty?
Although they know that the first one is an accident, people always feel that these two things are not particularly auspicious when put together.
No news came after the body was taken away by the Penal Court, but some disciples who witnessed it said that there was a sword stuck in the body, indicating that someone had obviously killed him.
And that room belonged to Mr. Wang Lang from the outer courtyard. Wang Lang was not found after the incident. It is very possible that the burned body with no face visible was Wang Lang.
That day, everyone in the college was in panic. Only Mu Qianyu slept soundly in the bedroom.
When Wen Ruyue came back in the evening, she saw that Mu Qianyu was still asleep, and she woke her up helplessly: "Such a big thing has happened, how can you still sleep?"
"I drank too much last night." Mu Qianyu rubbed his temples and sat up with difficulty.
"Wang Lang is dead. I don't know who killed him." Wen Ruyue looked at her: "You live so close and you are not afraid?"
"Don't be afraid. I have never done anything wrong. Even if there is a killer, they will not kill me." Mu Qianyu stretched out.
Wen Ruyue laughed angrily at her: "Aren't you afraid of predators?"
Mu Qianyu blinked in a daze and nodded affirmatively: "I'm afraid, then I will be the first one to look for you."
"Okay, stop being so pretty and go wash your face. Dinner will be delivered soon." Wen Ruyue laughed.
Mu Qianyu felt that the two of them had become much closer after a night of drinking.
"Yes, yes." She agreed and went to wash her hands.
While the two were eating, Wen Ruyue still couldn't avoid this matter, frowning and saying, "Who would kill Wang Lang? I didn't hear that he offended anyone?"
Mu Qianyu just ate with his head down.
"I don't know if the Criminal Court can find the murderer. The atmosphere of this college has become worse and worse recently." Wen Ruyue said to herself: "First you were assassinated, then you were kidnapped, and there were murders as you got closer.
It’s really not peaceful.”
Mu Qianyu still didn't answer.
"Are you talking?"
"I'm reflecting on why it was related to me both times." Mu Qianyu said dullly.
Wen Ruyue laughed.
"Sir, you see it's getting late. It's not safe for me to go back alone. Can I sleep here with you?" Mu Qianyu asked after eating.
"The prerequisite is to wash your hands first."
"Forgot." Mu Qianyu went to wash his hands dejectedly.
This incident has shocked many students in the academy. Thinking of such a thing happening around them, they dare not sleep at night.
The one who suffered the greatest impact was undoubtedly Han Mobai. He had not yet come out of the shadow of Yue Zihang's murder. His back was immediately soaked with cold sweat after hearing the news of Wang Lang's death.
He really wanted to report Mu Qianyu, but this would involve him sending two people to kidnap Mu Qianyu. This crime was not the same as murder.
But what else can he do? If he continues to sit still and wait for death, he will be the next one to be killed.
He was really afraid, because both Yue Zihang and Wang Lang were much stronger than him, and he had no ability to resist against Mu Qianyu.
It couldn't be easier for Mu Qianyu to kill him.
After much deliberation, he finally decided to fight back!
The Penal Court started an investigation that day, but after inspecting the scene and conducting an autopsy, nothing special was found. The body showed no signs of poisoning, but was pierced by a sword.
Therefore, the Penal Court focused its attention on people who were stronger than Wang Lang, but after repeated searches, there was no one who had any grudge against Wang Lang.
Mu Qianyu finally sobered up after a good sleep. After breakfast, she was ready to leave.
When I was saying goodbye to Wen Ruyue, there was a knock on the door.
"Who is it this morning?" Mu Qianyu went to open the door.
When she opened the door, she saw two disciples from the Penal Court, the same two people who had detained her before.
Mu Qianyu smiled even more cordially when he saw the two of them: "Why are the two eldest brothers here? Are you looking for me to reminisce about old times?"
"We brothers are also wondering why we have been entangled with you recently. Stop talking nonsense and let's go." One of them said in a dumbfounded voice.
Mu Qianyu wondered: "Where to go?"
"Where else can we take you when we come?" Another person teased with a smile.
Mu Qianyu suddenly said: "I understand, Master Yuanzheng wants to come to me to reminisce about old times. Let's go. I just happened to buy some good wine."
"What are you thinking? Someone is reporting you for murdering Wang Lang."
Mu Qianyu was confused: "Who accused me? Why didn't I know that I killed someone?"
"We can't say much, so let's go to the hall." The two of them said and pulled her out.
Mu Qianyu turned to Wen Ruyue and said, "Sir, don't drink all the peach blossom wine. I'll drink it in two days."
Wen Ruyue didn't realize what happened at all. She just nodded blankly when she heard the words.
Mu Qianyu arrived at the lobby of the Penal Court with ease, and then unexpectedly saw Han Mobai in the hall, who was looking at her with a determined expression.
Apparently he was sure that it was her who did it.
Mu Qianyu also saw Mu Yanyan at the side, and Mu Yanyan looked at her with eyes full of hatred, even more so than before.
She wondered in her heart, when did she offend her again?
