I don't know how long I was lost in the camphor forest.

This is the first time Yan Li has been lost, he has a strong sense of direction since he was a child, and it is the first time to experience getting lost, this experience is not novel and interesting, if you change to a person with a fragile heart, it will not take half an hour to be driven crazy by the depressed jungle.

Yan Li tried several methods, but couldn't find a way out, knowing that this camphor forest must be from the hands of a master of metaphysics. He hadn't studied metaphysics and wanted to get out of here unless he could fly.

However, he was not discouraged, and he believed that when the day came, this little maze would not be able to stop him.

But now we can only wait.

Waiting is undoubtedly a long process.

Fortunately, practitioners can still consume time by entering meditation.

When Yan Li opened his eyes, the skylight just cast the first light, and he quickly jumped onto a camphor tree, climbing to the top of the open line of sight, surrounded by the vast forest sea.

It seems to be a bit optimistic.

From the outside, Zhang's Mansion does not occupy a very large area, even if it is used for planting in other places except for Zhang Huaibi's small courtyard, it is not so exaggerated.

Yan Li concluded that this was another trick.

When he encountered something he was not good at, he was really helpless, so he could only use the stupidest method, choose a random direction, and go straight forward.

But after walking for a long time, he still circled in one place, for he had gone back to the marked tree more than ten times.

"Engong...... Eun-ko-sama......"

At this moment, a voice came from an unknown direction, and he really couldn't tell the difference between southeast and northwest.

Turning in that direction, he saw a glimmer of light shining in the vast forest sea, his heart moved, rushed in that direction, and after walking a short distance, he saw Li Rulong carrying a white lantern with an anxious face looking for it, and saw Yan Li overjoyed: "Lord Engong, you are really here, it is so hard to find you below......

"Why don't you come in......"

Li Rulong said with a smile: "Don't worry, Engong has heard of the strangeness of this forest a long time ago, so he came in with a rope tied to it......"

Only then did Yan Li find that he had a red rope tied to him.

followed Li Rulong outside, and suddenly found that his face was full of solemnity, and he couldn't help asking, "What's going on outside?"

Li Rulong smiled reluctantly: "It's dead again." ”

"Who's dead?" Yan said.

"Hu, Mr. Hu is dead. Li Rulong said.

Yan Li raised his eyebrows and quickened his pace.

Out of the camphor forest, I saw that there were a lot of people in the courtyard, Rongcheng is different from the Martial God Fortress, it is not a combination of military and government, strictly speaking, the murder is under the control of the government, and the army cannot interfere.

Of course, Yan Li was hand-picked by the emperor, so he was naturally outside the system.

At this time, a middle-aged man who looked like a catcher came over and said unceremoniously: "I am Sun Bo, the head catcher of Rongcheng, you are Yan Li, where were you when Manager Hu died last night?"

Yan Li glanced at him, this person was unkempt, his face was full of scum, his trapping uniform looked dirty, and his tone of speech was very lazy, he was usually a casual person, but he was interrogated as a suspect, which showed that he had no good impression of him at all.

"Where is Chief Manager Hu's body?" Of course, Yan Li would not give him a good face.

"You kid is so bold that you dare to talk to our head catcher like this!" said a catcher.

Yan Li sank his face: "Where is Manager Hu's body!"

"In, there, there......" Na Catcher shuddered in his heart and pointed to the courtyard next door.

"Wait a minute!" Sun Bo suddenly stretched out his hand to stop Yan Li.

His sleeves were stained with some kind of vegetable juice or other liquid, and he looked oily, cloudy, and disgusting.

Yan Li was blocked by such a sleeve, not to mention how disgusting it was, but he was unwilling to back down, and said coldly: "What do you want?"

Sun Bo smiled slightly, and said: "You are a master on the Tianjiao list, what can I do with you?" But please answer my question, where were you when Manager Hu died last night?"

Yan Li said: "What if I don't answer?"

Sun Bo withdrew his hand, shrugged his shoulders and said, "You are the Jin Wuwei appointed by His Majesty, what can I do with you." ”

Yan Li frowned slightly, didn't say anything more, and strode towards the courtyard next door.

When he arrived, several servants and maidservants were crying around the corpse, and to his surprise, Shen Liuyun was actually there.

Seeing Yan Li walk in, Shen Liuyun bit his teeth slightly, and his eyes were red: "I remember when I was a child, the Zhang family was still in Yongling, and Manager Hu and Uncle Zhang Shi used to hug me, but now they are ......."

When Yan Li saw the corpse, he was a little surprised, because the cause of death was not a throat cut as he imagined, but a beheading.

Yan Li wanted to comfort her, but she didn't know how to speak. He thought for a moment and said, "When did the former head of the Zhang family die, and what was the cause of death?"

Shen Liuyun said: "I died of illness three years ago. Uncle Shi's health has always been poor, and he once needed camphor to curb his illness. ”

"Camphor?" Yan Li's heart moved.

Shen Liuyun nodded: "The addition of special spices to the camphor will make people hallucinate and get rid of physical pain. ”

Yan Li nodded and said, "I see." Take good care of your health, sir. After saying that, he turned around and left.

Shen Liuyun looked at his back, there was pain and contradiction in his eyes, and after hesitating for a long time, he finally spoke: "Wait!"

Yan Li stopped.

"If there's anything I need help with, I'll do my best. "Shen Liuyun Dao.

"Thank you. Yan Li finished speaking and left.

Listening to these two words, looking at Yan Li's unstoppable back, Shen Liuyun only felt full of bitterness.

......

Leaving Zhang's mansion, as soon as he returned to his residence, before his buttocks were hot, a person hurriedly broke in: "Yan, Yan's departure is not good......

Yan Li recognized it as a student from the outer courtyard, and said unhurriedly, "What's wrong with me?"

The student's face was full of anxious looks: "No, it's not you, it's Ruan, Ruan Jiaoxi is dead, Your Majesty asked you to go over immediately." ”

Yan Li's action of carrying water immediately stopped, and then slowly put the bowl on the table, and said, "How did you die?"

The student sighed and said, "It's the same as Zhang Huaibi......"

"Lead the way. ”

Yan Li really hasn't been to Jin Wuwei's temporary official residence, he is the ruling Jin Wu, but His Majesty is crowned, but he can't even live in the official residence, which is really cold enough.

The location of the official residence is in the south of the city, close to the Sanjin Mansion under a large banyan tree.

When the two of them came here, they saw an old man who was selling baked cakes in a cart, and shouted from afar: "Big brother, buy a baked cake to eat, I made my own baked cakes, which has a good reputation, and Tong Suo is not bullied......"

The two of them felt hungry, so they bought two pieces of baked cakes and ate them with the boiled water given by the old man.

"I've heard of Ruan Tianhe, a very strong first-class martial artist, but I didn't expect to be assassinated. Li Rulong said.

Yan Li said: "Zhang Huaibi is dead, what is Ruan Tianhe, if the assassin is murderous, all of us will die." ”

Li Rulong said: "Lord Engong thinks that what is the purpose of the assassin?"

Yan Li said: "You can't escape the word fame and fortune." ”

The student said anxiously, "You should hurry up and eat, Your Majesty is waiting." ”

Yan Li said, "When was the body found?"

The student said: "When His Majesty summoned everyone this morning, Ruan Jiaoxi didn't come, so I went to his room to look for him, but I didn't expect him to be dead. ”

"Go check it out. ”

Ji Paper Kite was outside Ruan Tianhe's door, saw Yan Li coming over, and said, "No more dead people, can you decipher the murderer's intentions?"

Yan Li shook his head, walked into Ruan Tianhe's room, and found that Ruan Tianhe was also sitting on a chair and died, when he died, it was as if he had discovered something terrifying, half of his face was distorted, and the blood hole on his neck was exactly the same as Ye Qing and Zhang Huaibi, almost the same, which showed that the murderer's control of power had reached a peak.

Ruan Tianhe is also a leader among the first-class martial artists, he didn't expect to die here, he taught assassination techniques in the academy, maybe he didn't think that he would be assassinated one day.

Ji Paper Kite then walked in, her pretty face full of anger: "What does the murderer want to do?"

Yan Li suddenly sniffed, frowned, and said, "Do you smell a smell of wine?"

Ji paper kite smelled it, and sure enough, there was.

At this time, Li Rulong said embarrassedly: "Lord Engong, Your Majesty, the smell of wine is on the lower body......

Yan Li subconsciously looked at his trouser leg, shook his head and sighed, "I thought I had found a clue." ”

Ji Paper Kite said: "I can't figure out why he wants to attack Ruan Tianhe." ”

"He's sending a signal. Yan Lidao.

Ji Paper Kite said, "What signal?"

Yan Li said: "I can do anything, you have to fulfill my wishes." ”

Ji Paper Kite said: "He has something to ask for?"

Yan Li said: "Unless you are a madman, killing people must be accompanied by interests, whether it is Ruan Tianhe or Zhang Huaibi, they are just one of the victims." ”

Ji Paper Kite said, "What is he asking for?"

Yan Li shook his head and said, "I can't be completely sure of many things, and when I find definite evidence, I will probably know the murderer's motives." ”

Ji Paper Kite said: "You still have a day and a half." With that, he turned and left.

Yan Li spent another half an hour, but still didn't find any clues.

When leaving, he met Sun Bo again, he came from afar, covered his nose and said, "You two should change your clothes......

Yan Li then remembered that the last time he took a bath was eight days ago, so he went to buy a set of clothes and returned to his residence to prepare for a bath.

Of course, you have to bathe with loose clothes, and when you take off your clothes, suddenly a piece of paper falls off.

When he picked it up, it was a small piece of paper folded into a square, with faint handwriting on it.

When did this note come about?

After thinking about it carefully, he almost didn't stop after returning to Rongcheng, and he came into contact with many people during the period, but the only one who had the opportunity to put the note in his arms was Sun Bo.

I'm afraid that Sun Bo quietly let him in when he stretched out his hand to stop him.

Why would he do this?

Yan Li slowly opened the note.
