Ximen said hopelessly: "The luthier is dead, and our clues have been cut off again."

Shu Yi said: "Isn't there still that tattoo? Our clues are not broken. Besides, who said that the luthier is dead?" Everyone was stunned, and they all stopped and looked at Shu Yi.Ye Qinghan said: "Didn't you say that the luthier might have been killed?"

Shu Yi said: "I think you should have seen the corpse, right? Do you think a pair of hands full of calluses can do such delicate work? I said that the luthier may have been killed, but I believe that the dead must not be Luthier." Shu Yi smiled and said, "Especially this piece of rosin, which made me firmer in my judgment, and I concluded that this luthier must still be in this county, and I admire this opponent quite a bit. He decided that I would think that luthier It’s going to be in danger, so it’s interesting to make such a move right away!”

Shu Yi continued: "But he's too impatient, such a cover-up can only show that the luthier is still alive, it's not their kindness, maybe the luthier is still useful to them."

Ye Qinghan said: "Shu Chu, what should we do next?" Shu Yi said: "Leave Ximing." Everyone asked in puzzlement: "Leave Ximing? Let's leave when there is some clue about the case?" Shu Yi said lightly Said: "Well, let's leave. The case of the hanging corpse will naturally be solved by the police station, and we will wait for the result. As for you saying that the case has clues, where are the clues?"

His words caught everyone's attention. Yes, the case seemed to have a clue, a guqin, a piece of rosin, and a hanging corpse, but they had no way of investigating these so-called clues.

Xiao Sheng asked: "There must be a place to go after leaving Ximing, right?" Shi Qing looked at Shu Yi quietly, only he knew Shu Yi, and he knew that since Shu Yi said so, he must have already made a fuss.

Shu Yi said: "Leaving Ximing, we will divide into two groups, the little monk, Tian Han and Xiao Sheng, and Ximen and I. Tian Han, you go to the provincial capital to investigate two things secretly. First, check Are there any guilds, roads, and gates in the provincial capital with a relatively long history, preferably those that existed before the liberation, and see if there are tattoos as symbols. Second, young monk, you have all the temples in the provincial capital and nearby Take a visit, mainly pay attention to those who raise a large amount of money for the temple and have a Taoist background.”

Shu Yi continued: "Remember, it's just a secret investigation, don't make any noise."

Ye Qinghan asked: "What about you?" Shu Yi said: "I went to Jiangnan Province with Ximen, I remember someone once mentioned to me that there is an old luthier in Jinling who can also make ice strings, maybe he can give us some hint."

When the car returned to Xincheng, an untimely rain fell. Seeing the car stop, Yan Ling held up a big umbrella and took everyone into the house.Shu Yi said: "Uncle Yanling, we are coming back to bid you farewell, we will go back in a while." Yanling said: "Don't you wait for the girl to come back before leaving?"

Shu Yi smiled and said: "No, please tell her that we may meet again."

Yan Ling said: "Okay then, I'll go and prepare right away, you guys go after dinner." Shu Yi said: "No need, Uncle Yan Ling, we have something urgent to rush back to the city." Said: "How is that good?" Shu Yi smiled and said: "There is nothing wrong with it, I have troubled you for the past two days, this is our rent and meal money, you take care of it."

Yan Ling took the 500 yuan that Shu Yi handed him: "Here, I don't need so much." He took out two of them, and then put the rest back into Shu Yi's hand, Shu Yi said: "Not much, We may come to bother you again, just treat it as a deposit in advance." He pushed the money back.

Yan Ling couldn't refuse anymore, so he smiled honestly and accepted it.

After 10 minutes, everyone packed up their luggage, and Yan Ling sent everyone to the car. When the car was about to disappear from his sight, a haze flashed in his eyes, and he snorted softly in his nose.

The bright sunlight passes through the gaps between the leaves, through the morning fog, and gently blows on the car windows.Ximen Wuwang said softly: "Shu Chu, we've arrived in Jinling." Shu Yi opened his eyes, "I've been driving all night, thank you for your hard work, let's find a place to stay and have a good sleep before we talk about it." .” Ximen Wuwang smiled and said, “I’m really sleepy.”

The two found a hotel to stay, Ximen fell into bed hopelessly and fell asleep, Shu Yi called Ye Qinghan, told him that he had arrived in Jinling, and asked them about the situation there, as he expected, Still no progress.Ye Qinghan was a little anxious, and Shu Yi smiled and comforted him: "Isn't it only two days? Don't worry, if it doesn't work, just treat it as a trip. Sometimes it's like this when handling cases. If you want to plant flowers but don't grow them, you don't want to plant willows." Liu Chengyin."

Ye Qinghan was chattering on the phone, Shu Yi said: "Just say what you have to say, what are you talking about?" Ye Qinghan said: "Shu Chu, are we in charge of the Xiaohang Group case with the Fifth Bureau?" Collaborate with comrades? Maybe they can provide us with useful information?"

Shu Yi said: "No need, we handle the case independently. I don't want to have too many horizontal and vertical connections with other units. First, it is not easy to keep secrets, and second, it will affect our judgment. Profile, don't forget my rule."

After hanging up the phone, Shu Yi also fell on the bed.

It was already past three o'clock in the afternoon when Ximen Wuwang woke up, and Shu Yi was sitting on the bed reading a book.Ximen Wuwang smiled and said: "Shu Chu, why didn't you wake me up?" Shu Yi put down the book: "Let's go, go eat something first."

Jinling, Qingliang Mountain Stone City.

Shu Yi led Ximen Wuwang into a piano shop called "Gu Ya Feng Yun".A young man in his 20s came forward and said, "Hi, do you want to watch the piano?" Shu Yi said, "Look at the strings." The young man smiled and said, "Those two are in the right place. Jinling is the best and the most complete, with all kinds of musical instruments.”

Shu Yi said: "Do you have Guqin?" The young man said: "Yes, silk strings?" He said, he took out several silk strings from the counter for Shu Yi to choose.Shu Yi looked at it and said with a smile: "Young man, you are not authentic. Is this the silk string you gave me?" imitated."

Shu Yi smiled: "Young man, is your boss there?"

The young man said: "Have tea with friends in the back." Shu Yi said: "Can we meet him?" The young man hesitated, Shu Yi said: "We want to discuss a business with him." The young man said: "That's good Come on, let me talk about it." The young man ran to the back hall.

Ximen Wuwang asked softly: "Shu Chu, so you don't know that old qin master?" Shu Yi said: "I don't know, I just heard that he opened a piano shop in Stone City." Ximen Wuwang said: " But there is more than one piano shop on this street." Shu Yi said: "So we can only find one by one."

Just as he was talking, the young man had already come out: "You two, our boss invites you in." Shu Yi and Ximen Wuwang followed the young man and walked towards the back hall.

Passing through a wing room, there is a small yard. In the yard, there is a coffee table made of a big tree root, and a few stools made of tree stumps next to it. Three people are drinking tea, two men and one woman.Seeing Shu Yi and the others coming in, the woman stood up with a smile on her face: "I don't know what you two are looking for?" The young man hurriedly said to Shu Yi: "This is our boss."

The woman said to the young man: "Go ahead and look at the business." The young man responded with a cry and stepped back.The woman led them to the coffee table: "Please sit down." Shu Yi and Ximen Wuwang sat down, and Shu Yi glanced at the two men, one fat and one thin, one old and one young.The fat one is an old man, about fifty years old, and the thin one is a teenager, about fourteen or fifteen years old.

The old man smiled and nodded to Shu Yi and the others, but the young man just glanced at them lightly, his eyes full of aloofness and indifference.Shu Yi and Ximen sat down on the tree stump calmly, and the woman poured Shu Yi and them two cups of tea: "I am the owner of the piano shop, my name is Yu Li, and this is my business card."

Shu Yi took the business card with both hands, glanced at it, and put it away carefully.At this moment, Shu Yi quietly took a look at this Yu Li, her facial features were very delicate, a typical Jiangnan beauty embryo, she looked at most 25 or [-] years old, but her way of dealing with people and things, her speech and conversation were very good.

Yu Li waited for Shu Yi and the others to have a sip of tea, and asked softly: "I don't know what you two want from me?" Shu Yi smiled and said, "We want to buy a pair of ice strings." Yu Li also smiled and said: " Customers can really joke, where are there ice strings now? The technology of making ice strings has been lost in the early Republic of China.” Shu Yi said: “To be honest, I heard from my friends that there is an old luthier living in Stone City, Qingliang Mountain, Jinling. , he can make ice strings, I don’t know if Miss Yu knows it.”

Yu Li shook her head: "I've never heard of this, Uncle Fan, have you?" She looked at the old man.The old man also shook his head: "I haven't heard of it either. If there is such an old luthier, he should be very famous. Do you know his name? Maybe it's much easier to find a name."

Shu Yi shook his head: "I don't know." Ximen Wuwang thought to himself, if he wanted to know the name, he would have to inquire hard, if he could go to the police station, he would know.The elder Fan said, "Is your friend making a mistake? I am familiar with the piano shops in Stone City, but I have never heard of such a person."

Yu Li said: "There is an old monk in the Xingjiao Temple here, whose Dharma name is Huiyin. I heard from the elders that he is also proficient in rhythm and plays the piano well. He may know. You might as well ask." He didn't talk to Shu Yi and the others at all, and didn't even bother to look at them, drinking tea alone.

Shu Yi stood up: "In this case, Miss Yu, let's take our leave first, excuse me."

Yu Li said: "You're welcome, I hope you can find the person you are looking for."

Coming out of "Gu Ya Feng Yun", Ximen said hopelessly: "Will you go to the remaining few piano houses?" Shu Yi said: "It's okay to go, anyway, it's on the way."

After asking the remaining piano shops one by one, no one knew the old piano player Shu Yi mentioned.Finally, Shu Yi decided to go to Xingjiao Temple to meet the old monk named Huiyin.
