Mayor Hao's life is not good, and his only daughter, who has no children, also died three years ago. ”

When Su Xiaran heard this, he finally heard the crux of the problem, and continued to ask: "You said that this Mayor Hao originally had a daughter who died three years ago?" ”

Seeing Su Xiaran's reaction so big, Master Li said, "That's right, when his daughter died, she was only seventeen or eighteen years old, which is a pity." Su Xiaran heard Master Li say this, although he still had a lot of questions in his heart, but he didn't speak again.

Seeing that Su Xiaran didn't ask anything more, everyone didn't worry about Mayor Hao's affairs. But Su Xiaran's heart has not calmed down for a long time. Why is it so coincidental.

These young women who died were also seventeen or eighteen years old, and Mayor Hao's daughter was also seventeen or eighteen when she died. Su Xiaran had to link the two together.

But at this time, she suppressed the doubts in her heart. Walking to the side of the dead Miss Li, Su Xiaran squatted down. Indeed, as the outside world said, the corpse did not have any scars.

Even if you suffocate to death, there should be traces of struggle. But there was nothing, it was as if I was asleep. There must be something strange at this time. Su Xiaran carefully observed the corpse of this young lady of the Li family, and did not let go of any place.

She didn't believe that there would be any ghosts in this world, and she didn't believe that the people in the city said that ghosts had come to Crescent Town. From the eyes of their healers, there must be something in Miss Li's body that keeps her body from rotting.

After rummaging through Miss Li's body, Su Xiaran didn't find anything. The nameless master said on the side: "Since we haven't found anything, don't look any further, we will have other methods, let Miss Li family settle in the ground as soon as possible." ”

Su Xiaran didn't stop, and said, "Give me some more time, I'll definitely find something." "Su Xiaran, as a disciple of the Nameless Master, the Nameless Master naturally knows her character.

didn't admit defeat easily, so he didn't persuade anymore, and waited quietly on the side. After Su Xiaran calmed down, she finally found a different touch in the place where the back of Miss Li's body was covered by hair.

After turning Miss Li's body over, Su Xiaran pulled off her hair, and suddenly saw a needle the size of Su Xiaran's plum blossom needle inserted into the back of Miss Li's head.

Su Xiaran opened his mouth and said, "I know, this is this thing." Su Xiaran pulled out the needle in the back of Miss Li's head. Miss Li's body dried at a rapid pace.

Turned into a decomposing corpse. The nameless master who saw this scene, and Master Li, as well as everyone else, were shocked. They all surrounded Su Xiaran. Su Xiaran loaded the needle he pulled out and handed it to the nameless master.

He said: "Nameless Master, this should be the reason why her corpse does not decompose, there should be some remnants in it, you can take it back and check it." ”

After the nameless master took the small needle in Su Xiaran's hand, he said, "Don't worry, I will study the ingredients on this needle as soon as possible." ”

When Master Li saw that his daughter had turned into a dried corpse, he quickly ordered someone to cover her with a white cloth and carry her out. Then he said to Su Xiaran: "The little brother is really discerning, such a small needle can be seen, the old man admires and admires." ”

Lone was also even more impressed by Su Xiaran at this time. At that time, in the swordsmanship competition, Gu Gu felt that Su Xiaran must not be simple, but he didn't expect that he really surprised the people around him again and again.

After coming out of Li's house, Su Xiaran didn't speak all the way. Xia Qingyi looked at her expression and asked, "Qiu Yi, do you think there is something wrong with the mayor of Crescent Town?" ”

Hearing Xia Qingyi say this, Gu Ye also said: "Look at that mayor is very ordinary, is it possible that he has anything to do with this matter, Qiu Yi, what do you know, tell me then, we can also prepare early." ”

Su Xiaran looked at the two of them and said, "I do think there is something wrong with this mayor, Lone, you go to the mayor's mansion with me at night, I want to see what secrets he has." ”

Gu hesitated for a moment, looked at Xia Qingyi and said, "But Sister Qingyi doesn't know martial arts, I'm not here at night, what if something happens?" ”

Su Xiaran opened his mouth and said: "Qingyi, now the safest place in the entire Crescent Town is where the Nameless Master is, you don't go back to the inn tonight, go to the Nameless Master, he will guarantee your safety, and you can also study the things on the needle as soon as possible." ”

Su Xiaran's arrangement naturally has its own reasons. In front of outsiders, the nameless master only has a high attainment in medicine and poison. But as Su Xiaran's master, Su Xiaran naturally knew that the nameless master was not an ordinary person.

Arrange Xia Qingyi to the nameless master, she can also rest assured. Xia Qingyi has appeared so many times in the market in the past few days, maybe she has been targeted by someone with a heart.

As for whether Xia Qingyi should lead the snake out of the hole, Su Xiaran still has to see if he can find anything in the mayor's mansion tonight, and then make a decision. So now Xia Qingyi must not have an accident.

Seeing Su Xiaran say this, Xia Qingyi said: "I understand, you guys be careful at night, I'll go to the nameless master now, don't worry about me." ”

Seeing that Xia Qingyi had an arrangement, Gu didn't say anything more. The reason why Su Xiaran is not worried about Lone's accident is because Lone does not meet the characteristics of these dead women.

Su Xiaran thought that behind the scenes, the people he was staring at must be women who were similar to his goals. For example, these people are very similar to the mayor's dead daughter. So Lone is not in the target range.

After seeing Xia Qingyi leave, Su Xiaran and the others quickly returned to the inn, and made some preparations, preparing to visit the mayor's mansion at night to see if there was really any ulterior secret as Su Xiaran thought.

Su Xiaran and Gu returned to the inn where they had stayed. When he walked up the stairs, Su Xiaran said: "Lonely, you pack up your things, we will change to an inn after we go to Hao's Mansion in the evening, and there are still things to bring, now we will pack them out." ”

Gu replied: "Don't worry, Qiuyi, I know everything, I hope our intuition is accurate this time, otherwise we will have to start all over again, and we don't know where to start." ”

Su Xiaran smiled and didn't say anything more, and the two went back to their rooms. For Su Xiaran, this decision to visit Hao's Mansion at night was definitely not a whim. There must be something wrong with this Mayor Hao.

It's just that Su Xiaran doesn't know what his problem is. On the surface, it seems to be very close to the people, but in fact, it is killing the people in his own town. Although Su Xiaran is not a good person, he still doesn't want to see what disasters the people have suffered.

"Could it be related to Mayor Hao's daughter who died three years ago?" Su Xiaran didn't just think so. Stay in the inn until nightfall. Su Xiaran walked out with Lonely.

The Crescent Moon Town at this time was exactly the same as the situation when Su Xiaran and the others arrived on the first day. The market, which used to be bustling during the day, was depressed when night fell, and there was no shadow of a single person in sight.

Su Xiaran looked at Gu's shoulder with a bow and arrow on his back, and said: "The first time I saw you take out the bow and arrow, I haven't seen you shoot an arrow, I heard that you are the first among the outer disciples of the Bow and Arrow Academy, I really want to see how accurate you can shoot." ”

Seeing that Su Xiaran was praising himself, he said with a hearty smile: "Haha, don't worry about this, you can always see it, it's not too early to see it, let's go over early, maybe Mayor Hao is doing something now." ”

Su Xiaran nodded, and disappeared into the night with Lone. As early as today's daytime, Su Xiaran had already explored Mayor Hao's mansion clearly. Now there is no need to grope anymore, and he walked directly to the door of Mayor Hao.

Gu looked at the closed door, and said to Su Xiaran: "Qiu Yi, you said that this high wall is surrounded, and we can't go in directly, how can we not be found to go in?" ”

At this time, Su Xiaran was thinking about the same problem as Gu. Surrounded by high walls, the only entrance was the iron gate in front of them. If you knock on the door, you will alarm the people inside.

However, this also made Su Xiaran more sure that there must be something wrong with this Hao Mansion. Along the way, I haven't seen any people who have designed their mansions like this. So airtight.

Su Xiaran thought for a while and said: "I think this high wall is only about two meters high at most, let's find a remote place, you step on me first, and I will naturally pass after you pass." ”

Gu said worriedly: "What if you can't come, I think there must be a back door in this Hao Mansion, if he is really related to the missing woman, there must be a secret channel to directly transport people in and out." ”

Hearing Gu say this, Su Xiaran suddenly realized: "That's right, thank you Gu, it's because I thought too narrowly I came over in a hurry during the day and didn't see any other way, so I denied what you said, since that's the case, let's look for it separately now." ”

Lone agreed, and the two of them looked for it from different directions. The mansion appears to be surrounded by high walls on all sides, with only a large gate in front of it. But as Gu said just now.

The whole Crescent Town is full of people. If they really had a problem, they wouldn't have been able to transport the bodies from their main entrance. Su Xiaran walked to a weed, and looked suspiciously at this piece of weed, which was very prominent outside the smooth wall.

Tentatively, he poked his sword inside. Sure enough, the sound of something being stabbed reached Su Xiaran's ears. Su Xiaran thought to herself: "Sure enough, there is a problem." ”

Then he said to Lone on the other side: "Lonely, don't look for it, I found the entrance, follow me." With that, he took Lone and crawled into the pile of weeds. After entering, the two of them realized that there was a cave in it.

After walking for a while, Su Xiaran and Gu Ben walked into an underground passage. Su Xiaran said: "It seems that this Hao Mansion is indeed not simple, and such a passage has been dug out underground. ”

Lone also sighed and said: "I really didn't expect it, I don't know where the end of this place leads." ”

After saying a few words, the two did not say anything more. Walk cautiously to the front. Even though they have come in now, the two of them still can't be assured of vigilance. Maybe there's going to be some mechanism or something.

Gu said with some worry: "Qiu Yi, do you think there will be a trap here?" ”

Su Xiaran looked at the road ahead and replied, "No, at least in this underground passage, they won't have traps." "The two of them walked for about two incense sticks before they saw the exit of this underground passage.

The two of them stood inside and looked out, Su Xiaran said: "It seems that it is indeed the courtyard leading to Hao's Mansion, it doesn't seem that there is anyone now, let's change into night clothes and prepare to go out." ”
