Mo Xian was so angry by the System that she could not speak, so she simply threw her hands into the Demon Catcher Bag and slowly fell asleep under the blanket.
Mo Xian slept right into the middle of the night. When she opened her eyes, it was pitch black everywhere. She suddenly jumped up, not knowing what time it was. If she missed the appointed time, wouldn't Qi Huaizhao have waited a long time?
Mo Xian took something out from behind her waist and looked at the time on her phone. Luckily, it was just 1: 40 and there was still 20 minutes before their appointment time.
In case she was about to take action, she put on her melon skin hat and took a gulp of cold water before sitting at the table. She was much more clear-headed now.
After the gong sounded twice, she walked out and went up to the third floor. At the corner of the stairs, she met Qi Huaizhao, who was wearing a white robe. Ye Zichen couldn't help but sigh. This person really liked wearing white clothes.
Mo Xian wordlessly waved her hand as a form of greeting. The man slightly nodded his head before turning around and walking towards the hallway.
The place they were going to hide tonight was at the end of the corridor, and the advantage of that was that there were no lights. He could hide in the darkness and not be easily discovered.
Mo Xian, who was in front, could feel the scorching heat coming from the man behind her. Qi Huaizhao said the reason she was in front was because her body was smaller.
After waiting for about half an hour, there was finally some movement at the other end of the corridor. The person who was heading towards the middle room with the crickets and crickets in his hands was most likely the murderer.
Mo Xian's hearing was excellent. She leaned her ear to listen and was stunned for a moment. She turned around and mouthed to Qi Huaizhao, "Two."
The man nodded to show that he understood.
With a creak, the knife scar's room was pushed open by someone. The sound of the door opening was especially ear-piercing and terrifying in the middle of the night. Two figures flashed in.
"We're going too!" Mo Xian used her angry voice to speak to Qi Huaizhao. Luckily, the two of them were standing so close, otherwise Qi Huaizhao would not have been able to hear her.
When Mo Xian stepped into the room, she subconsciously held onto the Demon Catcher Bag at the back of her waist tightly. He could still smell the nauseating smell of blood. It didn't seem to be clean, and it smelled even worse than it did two days ago.
"Who?!" Someone attacked Mo Xian from the darkness. She subconsciously pinched the person's wrist and with a "Kacha" sound, it was dislocated.
Mo Xian didn't expect that she would be able to subdue him so easily. Furthermore, the wrist she was clutching in her hand was extremely slender. Otherwise, it wouldn't have been so easy for her to break it.
"Big brother!" What's wrong?! " It was the voice of a little girl, with a hint of sobbing.
Mo Xian was stunned for a moment. She suddenly recalled the siblings sitting in front of them at noon today, as well as that burning gaze. It was likely her brother who had broken her wrist.
"Take these two out first." Qi Huaizhao said softly in the darkness.
Mo Xian acknowledged him with a grunt and walked out with the young man on her arm. The girl followed him out of the room.
When they reached the corner of the stairs, at a place that would not attract attention, Mo Xian let go of his wrist, "Speak, what happened to you two? Why did you enter the knife scar's room in the middle of the night?"
The youth was in so much pain that cold sweat broke out on his forehead, but the girl was already crying. "You two bad guys are bullying the weak and bullying my brother!"
Mo Xian raised her eyebrows. Yo, you're still complaining to the wrong person.
The youth seemed to be in extreme pain, but he gave up on trying to stop the girl. "Little sister, don't talk nonsense. They aren't bad people."
Mo Xian's interest was piqued. "Kid, how did you know we weren't bad people?"
"I saw you guys investigating the knife scar's room last night, and you guys have no enmity with him, why did you kill him?" The youth was extremely calm.
However, Mo Xian didn't expect him to actually follow her last night. "Then according to what you said, the murderer is you and your sister?"
"Nonsense!" The girl beside him suddenly shouted loudly, startling everyone present.
However, Mo Xian did not think that they were the culprits. The two immature brats were only about fifteen or sixteen years old. If they could raise their big blades and kill, their martial power would be too low.
Thinking about this, she let out a faint sigh, bent down and grabbed the youth's wrist. The girl suddenly pounced over and wanted to push Mo Xian away, but she was lifted up by Qi Huaizhao first.
Mo Xian finally reacted. The girl thought that she wanted to hurt the teenager so she explained with a smile, "You're thinking too much. I'm not trying to hurt your brother." With that, she twisted the youth's hand back into its original form.
The pain vanished and the youth hurriedly stood up. He anxiously asked, "May I join your investigation?"
The reason why Mo Xian remembered him was because when the unaccompanied little girl was held back by the knife scar, he had righteously dared to point it out.
"Why do you want to follow us and investigate?" Qi Huaizhao, who had always been silent, spoke lightly in the night.
"I wanted to find out about this. I've been interested in it since I was a kid." The youth's eyes beamed with joy at the candle flame that was not far away.
The girl tugged on the youth's sleeve. "Big brother, don't. Can you not go?" A voice that was close to begging.
Mo Xian inexplicably believed in this unclear explanation. She raised her eyes and looked at Qi Huaizhao, seemingly inquiring.
Qi Huaizhao didn't have any objections, so she didn't have any objections, "Alright then, you have to listen to me. Don't run around."
"En!" The youth responded, "Oh yeah, I'm Li Yaoxing, my sister Li Feng."
Mo Xian found Li Yaoxing's sudden appearance to be cute, so she burst out laughing.
"My surname is Mo, his surname is Qi."
His sister, Li Feng, didn't really like them, especially Qi Huaizhao, who picked her up just now. She glared at him fiercely, but Qi Huaizhao didn't seem to notice at all.
"There's nothing to be gained tonight. Let's go back." The man was extremely tall, a full three heads taller than Li Yaoxing. He had an inexplicable charisma looking down on him from above.
Li Yaoxing still liked to be close to the fair Mo Xian, so he looked at her eagerly.
Seeing Mo Xian nod, he brought his sister Li Feng up to the fourth floor.
Mo Xian followed beside Qi Huaizhao. She observed his expression and asked, "Are you angry? Blame me for bringing him in? "
"Not at all." Qi Huaizhao's tone was still indifferent.
"Do you think this has anything to do with them?"
Qi Huaizhao said this time, "Don't care about the surface." With these words, he returned to his room. Mo Xian felt a headache coming on, and this ambiguous words left her a little confused.
She always felt that there was something Qi Huaizhao was hiding from her. It was a heart-wrenching feeling.
-
The next morning, Mo Xian was woken up by someone else again. She was so agitated that she didn't have a temper. This room had a huge disadvantage, the soundproofing was extremely bad! Especially if there was a commotion at the door, the higher-ups would be able to hear it clearly.
She woke up this time and didn't get up. She just lay on the bed and listened to the fight below.
It seemed that someone wanted to leave the inn, but was stopped by Jiang Huaige. The person refused to comply and continued to cause trouble.
"Didn't they say that if you prove that this has nothing to do with it, you can leave?" I've already testified to myself, why did you stop me!? "
Jiang Huaige was quite calm, "Master Luo, what I said yesterday was that after we found out and captured the culprit, everyone would go and stay. I will not stop anyone."
Master Luo was angry, "I don't care what kind of broken rules you have. I will get out if I don't kill the person!"
Jiang Huaige refused to back down, "Grandpa Luo, be careful when you speak. Don't move your tongue."
"Son of a b * tch, you want face but not shame?!" "Don't think that I wouldn't dare to hit you just because you're a woman!" Master Luo spat at Jiang Huaige, as if he was about to make a move.
This Master Luo was also one of the scum of the world. He actually wanted to hit a woman, and it was even a good-looking woman like Jiang Huaige. Mo Xian lamented on the bed.
"This is not a place for you to behave atrociously! If you want to mess around again, you can get out the door and put on the shackles! " The male voice suddenly sounded. It was one of yamen, who came yesterday to investigate. The one with a slightly longer face.
The noisy surroundings also quieted down. They were hoping that Master Luo could break out of the ring, and the people behind them could do as they pleased. Who knew that yamen's appearance would destroy all their hopes?
Master Luo scolded. No one knew what he said, but no one could hear him downstairs anymore.
Mo Xian had originally thought that this was just a small episode, but she quickly tossed it to the back of her mind.
Another day passed. Qi Huaizhao suddenly said that he wasn't going to wait for her tonight, so Mo Xian could only agree. She tossed and turned in her room, but couldn't fall asleep. Perhaps it was because she slept too much during the day, but she didn't sleep at all at night.
"Rustle, rustle …"
She suddenly heard a sound, as if someone was dragging something away. There was also the sound of liquids being mixed together.
Just thinking about it made her feel disgusted. When Mo Xian thought about it, she was too lazy to go and fell asleep.
However, what they did not know was that on the second day, there was an uproar within the Penglai Inn: Another person had died!
Mo Xian's sleepiness was suddenly gone. She hurriedly put on her melon leather hat and knew without even needing to ask where the dead man was. It was the one on the fourth floor. The railing was completely surrounded by people.
However, when she went up, she saw that almost everyone's face had turned pale. They covered their mouths, feeling like they were about to vomit but couldn't.
A person rushed out of the door. Mo Xian was dragged by the person beside her, so she didn't run into him. She subconsciously felt that this person must be Qi Huaizhao.
Mo Xian turned around and saw that it was Li Yaoxing. He stood straight like a cypress, with Li Feng following behind him. Mo Xian couldn't help but think, 'What a good relationship between these siblings.'
"Thank you, Brilliant Star."
"Thank you." He asked, "I heard another one died. Did you go and take a look?"
Mo Xian threw up her hands and said, "I just arrived and haven't had the chance to go in yet."
"Let's go in together." Li Yaoxing turned around and ordered Li Feng, "Sister, don't move. Be obedient and wait for brother's return."
Li Feng's face was pale. He was probably afraid of the scene inside.
As soon as he entered, he saw that the door was covered with red elliptical marks of blood. It was densely packed, as if something had been thrown and stuck onto it.
Mo Xian took a few steps forward and found the same marks on the ground. Some of them had already congealed into dark clumps and were covered in blood.
The room was filled with elliptical bloodstains, and the smell of rust lingered at the tip of his nose.
Could a person's blood flow this much?
Mo Xian couldn't help but ponder.
