Daxuanti criminal officer

Chapter 84 International Students

The fire was extinguished by the next morning.

Fortunately, Lujia Bookstore has a single family and is next to a small river.

After the fire broke out, the Wuhou shop in the city immediately mobilized nearby residents to use the river water to fight the fire. After a night of hard work, the fire did not spread to other places.

This Wuhou shop is the official fire brigade organized by Shangyuan City. If there is no fire prevention mechanism in such a large city, the consequences of a fire will be disastrous.

After the fire was extinguished, there was almost nothing left of the Lujia Bookstore, with black smoke billowing and mess everywhere.

After hearing the news, Tai Min, the sheriff who rushed over, stood alone in front of the ruins, looking lonely and helpless, dumbfounded.

"My lord," Huo Anu, whose face was full of black and gray stains, sat wearily beside Xu Zun, said angrily, "It seems that this fire was specially set for us?"

"How is it?" Xu Zun also had a messy bun and was extremely embarrassed, but his face was still cool, "Are you still saying that I am a soldier?"

Huo Anu shook his head slightly, looking at the ruins in the distance, his eyes were also a little dazed.

"why why?"

Looking at Zhao Yu again, it is not enough to use the word "wolf" to describe him, but seeing his hair burst, his face scorched black, his clothes torn, full of holes, as if he had been shot out by a cannon.

If it wasn't for the physical and mental exhaustion and aches all over, I'm afraid both Xu Zun and Huo Anu would have to laugh out loud.

"Someone is following you, but we didn't notice, Huo girl..." Zhao Yu complained, "You are a master who is out of standard!"

Unexpectedly, for the first time, Huo Anu did not get angry, but nodded pertinently and said:
"This can only explain one problem, either the people who follow us are too skillful, even I don't notice; or, they are already here waiting for us!"

"I'm so stupid, look..." Zhao Yu stretched out his finger, "There are obviously two questions!"

"I don't understand," Huo Anu looked at Xu Zun, "You came to the bookstore on a whim tonight, how could the person who lit the fire know that we are coming?"

"I'm thinking about this too," Xu Zun nodded, "It should be, whether we come or not, they are already ready to burn this place down!

"Perhaps, we just arrived by chance, and they had no choice but to move ahead."

"Who? Who is it?" Huo Anu clenched his fists, "Why did they burn this place? Are they afraid that we will find Lu Xiaofeng's family? Or are they afraid that we will find the daughter of the Marquis Mansion?"

"Hey..." When Huo Anu said this, Zhao Yu also expressed concern, "Master Xu, this place has been burned, can you still find the daughter of the Marquis Mansion?
"Don't forget, you have issued a military order with Lord Hou, if you can't find it, then... tsk tsk..."

As soon as Zhao Yu spoke, smoke even came out of his mouth, Xu Zun almost couldn't help it, he quickly covered his mouth to hold back his laughter.

"Yes, my lord," Huo Anu said, "The clue is broken, what should we do?"

Unexpectedly, after asking, the two found that Xu Zun was staring at the Taimin Sheriff in the distance in a daze, as if he was thinking about something.

"What's wrong?" Huo Anu was curious, "You don't think there is something wrong with the sheriff, do you?"

"No, I just think it's a bit strange," Xu Zun said while staring at Tai Min, "I mentioned Lu Xiaofeng to him yesterday, and now that the bookstore is on fire, according to the normal reaction, shouldn't he come over to me in a hurry? Is it right to ask?"

"Oh?" Huo Anu also looked at Tai Min in the distance, and asked, "What do you mean by impatient eyes?"

"It's nothing but urgency," Xu Zun explained, "Dialect can also be interpreted as impatience."

"Oh, you said earlier that it would be over if you were impatient?" Huo Anu complained in a low voice, "If you insist on speaking a dialect with me, a foreigner, cut..."

"Wait, alien?" Xu Zun turned to look at Huo Anu, as if thinking of something.

"My lord, don't be so surprised, okay?" Huo Anu was a little embarrassed.

"Yeah," while Zhao Yu was thinking about the previous topic, "There is indeed something wrong with this sheriff!"

But seeing that Tai Min was still staring at the ruins in a daze, he didn't have the slightest intention to come over and ask Xu Zun and others.

"Anu," Xu Zun said to Huo Anu while continuing the topic, "You are wrong, our clues have not been broken.

"Because there is a fire here, it is even more obvious that my thinking is correct!
"Miss Lu's disappearance is indeed not simple!"

"Yes...is it?" Huo Anu's brain was no longer able to control, "You mean, the mysterious disappearance of Lu Xiaofeng's family has a lot to do with the disappearance of the daughter of the Marquis Mansion?"

"Yes!" Xu Zun nodded, "This fire, someone wanted to cover up their tracks, and didn't want us to find out anything!"

"Since it has been burned, doesn't it mean that the clue is still broken?" Huo Anu spread his hands, "I seem to be right?"

"This clue is broken, we can check another one," Xu Zun said with bright eyes, "Anu, go back and take a shower and dress up now, you will have an important task today!"

"Ah?" Huo Anu's eyes widened, "What mission?"

Xu Zun glanced at Tai Min in the distance again, and said two words: "Go to school!"

……

Qinglan Academy is located in Qinglan Temple in Shangyuan City.

Since Qinglan Temple was established, no man has ever entered.

However, Huo Anu is different, not only a woman, but also a foreign woman.She came to Qinglan Academy to study, which naturally attracted the attention of the nuns in the library.

Huo Anu is from the Western Regions, although the Western Regions belong to Daxuan, they can't be regarded as the same origin.

Therefore, Huo Anu is an out-and-out student studying abroad!
Before, Xu Zun had already written a letter of recommendation to Huo Anu, and the letter bluntly stated that Huo Anu's identity was the assistant of Xu Zun who was punished by Tangzhou.

The purpose of coming to Qinglan Academy this time is to learn the etiquette of poetry and calligraphy, so that I can work in the future.

Although Qinglan Academy is quite mysterious to men, it is not harsh on women who study, as long as they have a certain status and financial resources, they will welcome them.

After all, under such a feudal background, there are not many people in the family who sincerely hope that women will study.

What's more, the academy only held classes twice a week, and they also hoped that more girls would come to study.

However, as Huo Anu is new here, it is naturally impossible to become a formal student so soon.Can only be arranged to attend the school, and can only become a regular after the expiration.

Of course, Huo Anu came with a mission, as long as he can attend a class once, it is enough.

Seeing Huo Anu being allowed to enter the academy, Xu Zun heaved a sigh of relief.

However, Zhao Yu couldn't understand it at all:
"My lord, isn't it too late to look for clues inside now? Besides..." He looked at the Taoist nun at the entrance of the academy, and said worriedly, "He and Miss Lu belong to the same family, so what's wrong with it?
"Don't you think that Miss Lu will be hidden in the academy?"

Seeing that Xu Zun also looked at the academy and said nothing, Zhao Yu continued to express his concern: "Besides, you don't know Huo Wangwang's frizzy personality and fiery temper?

"If this guy makes trouble inside, he will cause you big trouble..."

"Hmph," Xu Zun smiled faintly, "I didn't send her in to be a good baby! Let's go..."

"Let's go?" Zhao Yu hurriedly asked, "Where are we going?"

"Yamen," Xu Zun said, "Let's see if the monk's corpse has made any progress..."
