C40

It was night.

After knocking on the door, Mo Xian got up from the bed, put on her melon leather hat and went out.

Qi Huaizhao changed into a new set of clothes. The grey robe was inconspicuous under the dim light of the candle. What attracted his attention was that delicate face.

Mo Xian didn't even bother to exchange pleasantries with him and just silently followed behind him.

He suddenly asked, "How's your arm?"

Mo Xian was stunned. "Much better now."

He inexplicably said, "It's best if you can recover by tomorrow night. There's a bag of medicine here, remember to use it when you go back."

Mo Xian took it, it seemed to still have a faint sandalwood scent on it.

"Tell me, do you think the dead will continue to die tonight?" At this moment, Mo Xian's greatest concern was not to ask this question.

"I don't think so." Qi Huaizhao turned around and continued to walk forward. His back looked extremely handsome.

Mo Xian believed his words, and her heart instantly calmed down.

They kept walking, and Qi Huaizhao took her up to the fifth floor and stopped her in her tracks.

"Shut up."

Mo Xian did as he said, not daring to make the slightest sound. The man's hand lightly pressed against her head, pressing her close to the window.

"Listen carefully."

Mo Xian was startled. She heard two odd voices speaking. They didn't sound like human voices, but their tones were vivid and lifelike.

"It's over, it's over. We did this, so he came to take revenge!" It's a suicidal attack! "

The other voice that was a little hoarse said, "What are you afraid of! If we do not take action, more will definitely die in his hands! "

"But now that Liniang is dead, and Tan Ting Jun is also dead, will it be our turn next?!"

"If he dies, then so be it. I feel that it's worth it to exchange for his life!"

"But, I'm afraid."

"knife scar must not be left behind. Alright, let's go back, this incident never happened to you before, if he came to take your life, I'll block it for you!"

The other person began to cry quietly.

Mo Xian's heart felt as though it had been struck by a heavy hammer. She seemed to have heard some incredible news!

The two men who spoke were the murderer! Moreover, from their words, it wasn't hard to tell that both Liniang and Tan Ting had a part in this. The latter was most likely the man that had been devoured by the devil.

Seeing that Mo Xian wanted to go up to her, Qi Huaizhao stopped her, "What are you doing?"

"Catch the murderer!"

Qi Huaizhao's eyes were dark, "This is just a conversation that the two paper men heard. I don't even know who it is. Once I leave this place, the paper man will melt."

Mo Xian suddenly realized why Qi Huaizhao had brought her here and why their voices sounded so weird. It turned out to be a modern tape recorder.

"Then we'll just watch as they slip away?"

Qi Huaizhao shook his head, "No, we should start from here and continue the investigation." He paused before continuing, "But before that, we need to do one more thing."

-

For the rest of the day, Mo Xian spent almost all of her time interacting with others. She practically finished running through the entire room in the inn. Finally, she returned to Qi Huaizhao's room and filled up a large pot of water.

"Ah, I'm dying of thirst. I'm finally done!"

The gray-robed man stared at her. "What's the news?"

"I'm slowly tidying up, don't worry." Mo Xian told him about what she had heard.

After hearing it, Qi Huaizhao instantly understood, "So, these people are the most suspicious?"

Mo Xian nodded. "It's almost certainly theirs. However, the method isn't very clear."

Qi Huaizhao pondered for a moment and told Mo Xian what he had guessed before. The two of them came to the same conclusion.

"Should we make the truth public now?" Mo Xian asked.

Qi Huaizhao nodded: "Yes. In order to avoid any unnecessary trouble. "

The two of them went to yamen and had them gather all of them. Mo Xian looked at the two yamen and felt a little weird. They acted a little too strangely that day.

At the beginning, yamen didn't listen to what Mo Han and Qi Huaizhao said. After all, as officials, they had to listen to the words of these two commoners.

Mo Xian had been ready since a long time ago, so she took out Jiang Huaige to greet him. Luckily, she had already gone over to greet him.

Everyone was gathered in the hall, cursing loudly. However, there was a faint sense of anticipation as they all hoped to quickly solve this case and get out of here.

In the center of the first floor, a person had died under the watchful eyes of everyone. It was an extremely miserable death, and the people who saw it still felt uneasy.

Almost everyone subconsciously went around that place. No one had a relaxed expression on their face.

That yamen asked: "Is everyone here?"

Mo Xian looked around. Qi Huaizhao was standing beside her. The key figures were all here, but he still seemed to be standing in the same circle. The three brothers of the knife scar had also come, but for some reason, their expressions were a little strange.

Previously, when Mo Xian hadn't noticed anything, she hadn't noticed anything unusual. However, once she did, there was actually an invisible rope pulling her through many of them.

"After delaying for so long, I believe everyone wants to know why so many people died and who killed them. Now let me tell you all the truth. " Mo Xian stood up, her clear and suppressed voice resonating within the Penglai Inn.

Some people frowned, thinking that this was just a kid. What kind of case could he possibly investigate!?

"Who are you?" What makes you say the truth? "

Mo Xian immediately retorted, "There's no law that says ordinary people can't solve cases, right?"

This way, there would be fewer voices of doubt.

Mo Xian then continued calmly: "Since there are a lot of things, let's start with the death of the knife scar. This is the source of this chain of events. "

As she spoke up to this point, she even purposefully looked at the expressions of those key figures. Some of them had excellent mental fortitude and didn't reveal the slightest bit of abnormality, while others didn't naturally look away.

"It wasn't just one person who killed the knife scar, it was six."

Once she said this, the entire inn boiled like boiling water again.

"Six? Isn't that a quarter of the people in the inn? "

"Isn't this too terrifying? One out of six people?"

One of the three knife scar brothers suddenly shouted out: "Don't f * cking keep us in suspense, hurry up and tell us which bastard killed my big brother!"

Qi Huaizhao glanced at them indifferently. His aura was strong and silent. Those few people had bloodshot eyes and did not dare to shout at Mo Xian anymore.

Mo Xian paused. "I won't say who they are. Let's see how they do it first."

"If I'm not mistaken, that night, someone knocked on the door. When the knife scar saw this person, it did not put up any defenses and could not wait to open the door and let her in. After that, the person used something to make the knife scar lose its consciousness, and the two fought on the bed, and then there was someone else who cut off the knife scar's neck, and that blade was a fatal wound. "

Mo Xian looked at their expressions. Some of their lips had already turned white.

"Then they cut off his head, and because he was dead, the blood and the cuts were relatively regular. Some people were still unsatisfied, but perhaps when they thought of a certain memory, they cut out the knife scar's intestines, curled them into a circle and hung them on the wall, as if telling him to show off his evil deeds even after his death. "

Saying that, some of the people who had seen the corpse of the knife scar before could not help but retch on the side, although he could not spit anything out.

"In the end, of course, the corpse was hung up, waiting quietly for someone to discover it the next day." Mo Xian paused slightly. "This series of events could be described as flawless, but unfortunately, the world is vast and the world is vast."

Her gaze swept over the faces one by one.

"Luri, that day you deliberately wet the clothes of the knife scar, knew that he had taken a fancy to you, so you knocked on his door at night; Kang Zhou, you only recognized Luli after you had stepped forward, and you knew her plan; Wei Lu, on the other hand, what you did not see before, was only later discovered, and confirmed that it was related to you; as for the dead Liniang, she actually had a part in the 'missing' Tan Courtyard. Last????? "

Mo Xian's gaze landed on Li Feng, who was standing behind Li Yaoxing. She slowly said, "I thought you were always so timid. "Li Feng, you too."

Li Yaoxing's mouth was agape. He looked at Mo Xian in disbelief: "Brother Mo, what are you talking about? My sister is only a few years old. She's only fifteen years old, how could she be a murderer?! "

Mo Xian didn't say anything as she just looked at Li Feng.

When the others were pointed out, they didn't deny it. Only she wasn't convinced.

Perhaps, Mo Xian thought, the owner of the conversation that Qi Huaizhao's paper man heard was the hoarse Wei Lu and the timid Li Feng.

She didn't believe it, but now the truth was right in front of her eyes.

"NO!" I didn't kill him! I didn't do it, although I hated him, but I couldn't. Once I did it, I wouldn't be able to do it again for the rest of my life. "Because I'm dirty?"

Li Feng screamed, as if he was going to scream out all the pain. She abruptly retreated backwards and bumped into the red pillar. Blood splattered all over the ground as she lay lifelessly on the ground.

No one present had expected such an unexpected turn of events. Li Yaoxing widened his eyes as he staggered forward and hugged Li Feng.

"Little sister, little sister, why are you so stupid! Didn't you say that you had nothing to do with this matter? Why did he commit suicide!? "You don't want your brother anymore?" Li Yaoxing's tears came out all of a sudden. He growled in a low voice, like a wounded little beast.

Li Feng smiled. Her pure black eyes regained their calm. She no longer had anything to fear, and blood kept flowing out from the corner of her mouth.

"Big brother." She raised her hand with difficulty and caressed Li Yaoxing's right cheek, "Sorry, Li Feng is dirty, I … …" I hate myself like this. Forgive me for breaking my promise. "Big brother will live well, live well …"

Li Feng died.

Mo Xian lowered her eyes, as if she couldn't bear to see this. It was so difficult to survive. She didn't want Li Yaoxing to get hurt like this, she didn't expect Li Feng to do this.

"No!" Li Yaoxing hugged Li Feng's corpse and finally broke down crying.
