Ji Xiamo and his entourage went to the first floor with Feng Shaojin, and after a tired day, Ji Xiamo didn't follow Feng Shaojin politely, under Feng Shaojin's angry and funny gaze, he picked up the best and called a table, and when he was full of wine and food, the sky was already dark.

Feng Shaojin couldn't stay longer in the palace, so he said goodbye to Ji Xia Mo and the three of them got into the carriage back to the palace, looking at the carriage that was getting farther and farther away, Lian Qiguang withdrew his hands and groaned for a moment, and looked back at Qin Yan on the side.

"Qin Xiaoyan, you will also go back to the General's Mansion later, I just suddenly thought of something to go to the Pan Mansion, it is getting late, don't run with you."

"Don't worry, this son will go with you." Qin Yan hugged his arms and hummed. "Anyway, it's not early now, and I'll go back to the Prime Minister's Mansion with you directly when it's late."

"You really don't treat yourself as an outsider?" Ji Xia Mo glanced at Qin Yan, turned around and hooked Jin Wuji's arm with a smile. "Brother Jin~~"

Jin Wuji nodded silently, and took the lead in turning around and opening the way, and Ji Xiamo followed with a little short-legged fart.

When the three of them arrived at Pan's Mansion, it was already completely dark, and looking at the devastated and ruined walls, Qin Yan rubbed his arms and only felt gloomy. "Ji Xiamo, is there anything you can't come tomorrow? Are you panicking in the middle of the night? ”

"If you're scared, go home." Ji Xiamo snorted angrily.

"Afraid! Will this son be afraid? Qin Yan put down his hand and shouted with his neck stalked.

Looking at someone who was holding on, Ji Xiamo shook his head, took the torch handed over by Jin Wuji, and took the lead in entering the Pan Mansion, and Jin Wuji silently followed.

Seeing that the two of them were walking away, Qin Yan peeked at the dark surroundings, a gust of wind blew, Qin Yan trembled, and ran to catch up with Ji Xiamo.

Inside the Pan Mansion, which has almost been burned to ruins, it is crumbling and crumbling at a glance. The pale moonlight sprinkled on the quiet ruins, and it brought a shocking gloom and coldness.

Ji Xia Mo stepped on the scorched wood and masonry all over the ground, and carefully moved inside, the dim torches fluttering in the wind, whirring.

"It's strange that there isn't a single soul left." Ji Xiamo looked at the empty surroundings and muttered softly.

Qin Yan, who was closely following Ji Xiamo, heard Ji Xiamo muttering quietly, but he didn't hear the content clearly for a while, and asked suspiciously, "What did you say?" ”

"Nothing." Ji Xia Mo shook his head. "Let's go! Go to Master Pan's room and have a look. ”

Qin Yan was used to being rough, and when he saw Ji Xiamo saying this, he didn't think much about it, and followed Ji Xiamo to turn around and leave.

The three of them walked through a long corridor to a crumbling door, Ji Xiamo stretched out his hand to push the door open, a scorching smell came to his face, Ji Xiamo frowned and fanned the dust in front of his nose, squinting his eyes and looking into the room.

Jin Wuji took the torch from Ji Xiamo's hand, and held him with one hand, Ji Xiamo was slightly stunned, then smiled back, and was slowly entered the room by Jin Wuji.

The room has been burned to the ground, but I can still vaguely see a model.

Jin Wuji handed the torch to Qin Yan, protecting Ji Xiamo with one hand, and cleaning up the gauze tents and fallen scorched wood in front of him with the other hand.

Ji Xia Mo walked in the burned room, carefully looking at the layout around him. After passing through a few screens to the inner room, you can see a dilapidated wooden bed.

Ji Xia Mo motioned for Jin Wuji to let go, stepped forward and walked to the bed, squatted down on one knee, stretched out his hand and knocked on the bed, frowning and looking at the objects on both sides of the wooden bed.

"Pan's body was found on this bed, and although the surrounding furniture had been burned by fire, some of it was only charred on the outside, but it was intact on the inside. But look at this bed, it's burned to charcoal inside and out. ”

"What do you want to say?" Qin Yan was puzzled.

"If the fire was burning from the outside, that shouldn't have happened." Jin Wuji spoke. "From this, it can be inferred that it was this bed that caught fire first."

"That's right." Ji Xiamo nodded. "At that time, Master Pan should have died, and the murderer put Lord Pan on this bed, and then poured a large amount of kerosene on it and ignited it, destroying the body and destroying the traces."

"What kind of person is so vicious." Qin Yan frowned and said angrily.

Ji Xiamo took out a hand towel and wiped his hands, and was about to get up, when suddenly his eyes locked at the foot of the bed.

"Qin Xiaoyan, come over and take a closer look." Ji Xia Mo walked to the foot of the bed and beckoned to Qin Yan, who stepped forward and raised the torch in his hand closer. Ji Xiamo knelt on the ground, leaned under the bed with one hand, and took out a black lampstand from inside.

"It's ...... Menorah?? Qin Yan spoke.

Ji Xia Mo was holding the lampstand and observing it repeatedly, pondering for a moment, then got up and handed it to Jin Wuji. "I think the murder weapon that killed Master Pan has been found."

"You mean this lampstand?"

"If nothing else, it should be, but what kind of method did the murderer use to make the wound look so weird?" Ji Xiamo frowned, puzzled in his heart.

After thinking about it for a long time and failing to figure it out, Ji Xiamo rubbed the corners of his eyebrows and raised his head to signal the two of them. "Let's get out first."

The three of them left Master Pan's room and came to the backyard, found a fairly clean place to settle down, Ji Xiamo glanced at the torch in Qin Yan's hand, and turned to look at Jin Wuji. "Brother Jin, go find some firewood to make a fire."

Jin Wuji looked around, made sure that there was no danger, nodded lightly, and turned to leave.

Ji Xia Mo hugged his arms and paced slowly, sorting out the doubts in his heart, Qin Yan saw that he was thinking carefully, and he didn't dare to disturb quietly, and stayed quietly aside.

Looking up, a bright light flashed in the dead grass of a rockery, Ji Xiamo was slightly stunned, walked quickly, squatted down on one knee in front of the grass, carefully pushed aside the grass, and pinched a jade bead the size of a fingernail.

Ji Xiamo carefully looked at the jade bead in his hand by the moonlight, and suddenly a darkness broke into his sight, Ji Xiamo put the jade bead into his waist casually, leaned over and approached the dark color on the rockery.

After a moment of silence, Ji Xiamo stretched out a hand and touched it, put it in front of his nose and sniffed lightly, and opened his eyes wide.

It's, bloodstains!!

However, at this moment, a cold light flashed in front of his eyes, and Ji Xiamo only felt a chill in his back, and a familiar sense of crisis instantly spread throughout his body. Ji Xiamo didn't think much about it, and reflexively turned around to dodge.

A black figure flew in, the long sword in his hand grazed his body, blooming with blood, and a bone-piercing wound cracked open on his arm.

Ji Xiamo gasped, retreated again and again, barely stood still, covered his bleeding arm with one hand, and looked at the black masked man holding a sword opposite with a white face.

"Ji Xia Mo!!" Qin Yan was shocked by this change, roared angrily, and pulled out the long sword in his hand to kill the black-clothed masked man.

"I greet your grandparents for the eighteenth generation!! Dare to bully Lao Tzu's brother. Lao Tzu cut your whole family!! ”

Qin Yan held a sword and killed in front of the masked man, the masked man met and resisted, and the two fought each other, both of them were ruthless, and the swords and swords did not give in to each other. The two sharp swords collided, and sparks flew around.

Between the masked man and Qin Yan, he still struggled to move towards Ji Xiamo, making it clear that he didn't want to keep Ji Xiamo alive. Qin Yan naturally saw the masked man's intentions, and immediately became angry.

"Grandma's! I still think of the idea of beating Lao Tzu's brothers! Lao Tzu chopped you! Chop you! Chop you!! ……”

Qin Yan slashed at the masked man again and again, although the move was messed up, but this deadly way of playing still caught the masked man a little off guard.

The blood that kept flowing out made Ji Xiamo's face whiter and whiter, and his body was a little unstable on his feet. Ji Xia Mo frowned, staring at the masked man with burning eyes, remembering this person's moves.

Suddenly, the masked man made a false move in his hand, deceived Qin Yan, pointed the sword in his hand, and flew towards Ji Xia Mo. The movements are fierce and ferocious, and it seems that Ji Xia Mo is about to be killed.

"Ji Xia Mo!!" Qin Yan's eyes widened and he hissed angrily.

Looking at the attacking sword, Ji Xia Mo took a wrong step, and a silver hairpin quietly appeared in his hand, and his eyes were cold.

Seeing that the sword was about to pierce Ji Xiamo's heart, a figure fell from the sky, the cold light flashed, and the masked man instantly flew several meters away, falling heavily into a ruin, a mouthful of blood spurted out, and there was a blood mark on his chest that could be seen deeply.

Ji Xia Mo was stunned for a moment and fell into a cold embrace.

The masked man covered his chest, stared at Ji Xiamo with a sinister gaze, turned around and flew away from Pan's mansion.

Jin Wuji watched the masked man leave coldly and did not chase after him, he looked back at Ji Xiamo in his arms, the surging anger was suppressed on his body, the hand holding the sword 'clicked', and the anger in his black eyes flashed.

"Ji Xia Mo!" Qin Yan hurried to Ji Xiamo's side, and looked at the bloodstains on Ji Xiamo's body at a loss.

Jin ...... Jin Guard, what's the matter, what should I do~~" Qin Yan was in a panic, and the strange accent that he didn't know where jumped out directly.

Ji Xiamo listened to Yile, accidentally involved the wound on his body, suddenly bared his teeth in pain, his eyes were black, his head was dizzy and he couldn't distinguish between day and night, and he fell into Jin Wuji's arms.

Jin Wuji hugged Ji Xiamo's arm tightly, panic flashed in his eyes, and he quickly picked up Ji Xiamo by the waist, and disappeared into the huge Pan Mansion.

"Jin Guard, you wait for me!!" Qin Yan was anxious and flew over.

In the pale moonlight, the red-clad girl sat on a charred log, dangling her feet happily, a string of bells like human bones around her waist tinkling in the dark night.

A translucent soul was imprisoned in a cloud of red light, struggling in agony.

The girl in red looked up, and her translucent soul let out a terrible scream, which was swallowed by the girl.

The girl stretched out a small hand as pale as jade, and a red ant lay obediently on her fingertips.

"I'm still hungry." The murmuring sound drifted through the air in the wind, like a shallow sigh. "Shall we go find something to eat?"

The wind blew the girl's neck-length short hair, revealing a white and slender neck, and a red line that was faintly beating like a heart.

The bell swayed in the wind, and the girl hooked her red lips like blood, and let out a crisp 'giggle' laugh.

"Hee-hee-hee-hee-hee......"

"I'm so hungry, I'm so hungry......"
