Chapter 20 As for why Chu Jing was said to have nothing to do with the deaths of Deng Si'er's adoptive father and brother, and why Chu Jing and those cruel killers were not the same people, Zuo Chi had some considerations in his mind.
Not only was the timing of Chu Jing's appearance slightly delayed every time, whether it was when the seventeen corpses were discovered by Deng Si'er or when Deng Si'er's adoptive father and brother were murdered, Chu Jing's appearance was obviously not in accordance with the plan.
Plan goes ahead.
What's more, since they met Chu Jing, although Chu Jing's words were full of loopholes and seemed to be beyond his expectation, he didn't panic at all and seemed very calm and calm, as if he didn't care about being fooled by Zuo Chi.
Exposing truth and falsehood.
From this point of view, Chu Jing is not an enemy, at least not yet.
However, Chu Jing's goal could only be the treasure map on Deng Si'er.
However, if the treasure map is not on Deng Si'er, where is it?
Zuo Chi shook his head, stopped thinking, and looked up at Chu Jing and Deng Si'er in the stable of the inn not far away.
Yesterday, it was decided to go to Chongyang Academy to investigate the case.
Early this morning, the three of them were ready to set off.
The things had been prepared before, but the sudden addition of an extra person surprised Zuo Chi.
Chu Jing actually wanted to go with them.
Although Chu Jing's origins were unknown according to the current situation, with Chu Jing here, it would be easier to investigate the case.
After all, since Chu Jing can know what happened in Bai'an Village fifteen years ago, knows the identity of Deng Si'er, and knows so many things that they don't know, then he must also have some understanding of the mastermind behind the entire case. , at least, you should have your own judgment.
Deng Si'er didn't have as many thoughts as Zuo Chi.
When he heard that Chu Jing was also going to accompany him, he was awkward all night and chatted with Zuo Chi for a long time.
Helpless, although Zuo Chi and Deng Si'er didn't share the same bed, they still lived in the same room, and they didn't even want to hear it.
Finally, after patiently listening to Deng Si'er's complaints, Zuo Chi's sleepiness was mostly gone.
He didn't fall asleep slowly until late at night.
He didn't feel very energetic when he woke up in the morning.
As early as when Chu Jing arrived at the inn, he came on horseback.
At this time, in the stable, Deng Si'er looked at Chu Jing's tall maroon horse with envy.
"This is your beautiful horse.
What's its name?"
Chu Jing smiled slightly after listening to Deng Si'er's words, patted the horse's neck casually, and said: "The name of this horse is Hongying.
Although it is not a magical horse, it is smart and has good leg strength.
It is indeed a good horse."
Deng Si'er looked at other people's horses and then at his own donkey.
Zuo Chi originally wanted to buy a horse for Deng Si'er that day, but Deng Si'er missed his donkey and said it was given to him by Uncle Li, and he was reluctant to sell it.
Zuo Chi felt that he was not in a hurry right now.
The donkey didn't matter, so he followed Deng Si'er.
But now, Zuo Chi himself is riding a horse, Chu Jing is also riding a horse, and only Deng Si'er is riding a donkey.
No matter how you look at it, it's a bit awkward.
When Chu Jing saw Deng Si'er leading his donkey, he kept staring at Deng Si'er curiously.
His eyes were crooked, obviously smiling.
Deng Si'er had been awkward all night yesterday.
When he saw Chu Jing this morning, he thought that he was his biological father after all, but he was too embarrassed to call him by his first name like Zuo Chi did, so he didn't know what to call him for a moment.
But seeing Chu Jing looking at him with a smile, it seemed that for a moment, Deng Si'er felt warm, and the resistance in his heart was reduced a bit, and he was finally able to talk properly.
Zuo Chi also came over to lead his horse, and the three of them left the inn and embarked on the road to Chongyang Academy.
Because Deng Si'er's donkey ran slowly, Zuo Chi and Chu Jing had to slow down to match Deng Si'er's pace.
The team of three people was very conspicuous on the official road, and it was indescribably funny, causing passers-by to laugh frequently.
Stop and watch.
Although Chu Jing is dressed as a Jianghu man, his face is majestic and his eyes are bright.
Zuo Chi, not to mention Zuo Chi, is dressed in a black police officer uniform, looks cold and handsome, and his handsome appearance is extraordinary at first glance.

Only Deng Si'er, although he has changed some clothes, still looks like an ordinary person.
He is thin and small and rides a donkey.
Apart from Deng Si'er's face, which looks delicate, his whole expression and movements are just like that of a common man. .
To outsiders, the three of them were a rich man, a talented young man, and a servant.
Chongyang Academy is the most famous and influential academy in the entire Xining Dynasty.
It has trained countless outstanding figures.
Even the current emperor lived in the academy for half a month to study and seek advice.
The emperor was like this, and other rich and powerful nobles also followed suit and sent their children and grandchildren to study in the academy.
The reputation of Chongyang Academy gradually increased, and it became the best in the entire Xining Dynasty, unparalleled.
Along the way, Zuo Chi and Chu Jing both ate three meals a day, very regularly, and they were never seen eating too much.
But Deng Si'er was different.
Along the way, he basically never stopped, eating melon seeds, peeling peanuts, or eating two cakes of different flavors.
Seeing that there were not many snacks bought before departure, Deng Si'er The child was unhappy now.
"Master Zuo, let me tell you, how long do we have to go?
This person is in the middle of nowhere.
Isn't he going to sleep in the wilderness again?"
Deng Si'er raised his head and looked at the fading sky to the west, frowned and said with obvious displeasure in his tone.
Zuo Chi just turned his head and glanced at Deng Si'er, but ignored him.
Chu Jing on the side also ignored him and didn't even move his head.
Along the way, whenever they missed their accommodation, they would sleep in the open air.
Deng Si'er complained like this every time, and the two of them were already used to it.
Chu Jing saw a small river in front of him, so he pointed there with his riding crop and said: "I think this place is good.
Let's set up a tent here tonight."
Zuo Chi nodded in agreement, jumped off the horse, and went to the river to let the horse drink water and eat grass.
The same goes for Chu Jing.
When Deng Si'er saw that the two men ignored him, he angrily walked under a tree.
The donkey didn't care and just let it stand there.
This donkey had been getting along with Deng Si'er for a long time, and he must have had a little bit of Deng Si'er's temperament.
He was gnawing on the turf on the ground with a very leisurely expression.
Deng Si'er was even more angry now.
He saw a pebble and hit the donkey.
Unexpectedly, the donkey turned its head and hid, still grazing there.
"A stupid donkey" Deng Si'er cursed and ignored it.
Zuo Chi came over and happened to hear Deng Si'er's words.
He was stunned for a moment, and then frowned again, thinking that Deng Si'er was talking about him.
Deng Si'er was raising his head to look at the birds in the sky, when suddenly a shadow enveloped him, making Deng Si'er sit up straight in fright.
"Hey, Mr.
Zuo, you can't make a sound when you come here.
You scared me to death."
It turns out to be Zuo Chi.
It’s strange.
Why is Zuo Chi’s face so dark?
I didn’t provoke him, right?
When Deng Si'er saw Zuo Chi looking at him but not speaking, he couldn't help but feel guilty.
He quickly stood up and walked towards his donkey.

"I really offended him," Deng Si'er said to himself as he pulled his donkey towards the river.
Chu Jing happened to be walking from the river at this time, saw Deng Si'er and said: "The grass in front is pretty good.
You can lead the donkey over there, and we'll get it here."
Deng Si'er thanked him and walked around Chu Jing.
Chu Jing walked up to Zuo Chi and saw Zuo Chi's gloomy face.
She felt funny in her heart.
It was Deng Si'er who did it again.
The two people here were preparing to light fires and water to set up tents, when they suddenly heard Deng Si'er's panicked cry: "ah" Immediately, a flock of frightened birds flew out of the woods.
Chu Jing and Zuo Chi were startled, looked at each other, and immediately ran towards Deng Si'er:
