finally got a clue, but all of them were interrupted in an instant, Chen Wuji was rescued, the ghost market was attacked, Li Ke was unwilling, and felt extremely depressed in his heart, seeing that the Shangyuan Festival was approaching in less than two days, Li Ke couldn't help but feel anxious, but he still cheered up, turned his head and said to Pei Min: "Brother Pei, then bother you to check it out." Pei Min nodded, so the two began to check.

The twelve people who died, all dressed as ghost servants, but there were no defects in their bodies, and they were all out of breath at the moment, Li Ke took off the mask of one of them, this person had a somewhat special appearance, he was not a person from Middle-earth, with a high nose, deep sunken eyes, thin cheeks, and the blood flowing from his mouth was dark black. Pei Min came over to take a look, and took off several masks one after another, the situation was about the same, and he said to Li Ke: "Judging from the appearance and body shape of these twelve people, I expect that they should be Turkic. ”

Pei Min's inference was consistent with Li Ke, and Li Ke nodded and said, "It should be so, maybe these are Keduo's subordinates." ”

Pei Min looked around, he was busy fighting just now and didn't take a closer look, only to see that the four walls of the hall were full of bloodstains, and the tables and chairs and other things also had traces of being destroyed by the fight, Pei Min said: "Brother Li, I think this place should have been attacked." ”

Li Ke also noticed the surrounding environment, although Li Ke came to the ghost market many times, but he only stayed in the hall, he didn't know what the periphery was, he got up and said to Pei Min: "That red-haired Yama is also a top master, but Brother Pei has also seen the power of this four-elephant gossip sword formation just now, if he meets the enemy alone, I expect it to be more auspicious." Li Ke said that he began to search around.

Li Ke came to the small door that the red-haired Yama often came and went, this room should be the inner room, Li Ke had never entered, he gently pushed, the door opened, and there was a heavy smell of blood from the house, Li Ke saw the light of the hall and looked at the inner room, the room here is not big, you can see it at a glance, there is a couch, it should be the usual resting place of the red-haired Yama, but at this moment the ground in the house seems to be full of corpses; Li Ke waved his hand to Pei Min, Pei Min immediately took down the lamp and candle in the hall and walked over, under the illumination of the lamp and candle, the two finally saw the situation in the house, there were blood stains everywhere in the house, but there seemed to be no traces of a fight in this room, more like the murderer used to pile up the corpse.

Li Ke approached and leaned down and began to examine carefully, these corpses were all mutilated, but this mutilation was not caused by the battle, but was a congenital defect, Li Ke checked their wounds again, all of them were killed by a knife in the neck, it seemed that there was no chance to fight back, Li Ke checked many corpses one after another, and most of the situations were the same.

Finally, after they looked through all the corpses, Li Ke shook his head and said to Pei Min: "If my expectations are correct, these should be the real ghost servants of the ghost city, who were all killed by the twelve people outside, and then disguised themselves here and waited for me to enter the urn, planning to kill them together." ”

Li Ke pointed to the neck of one of the corpses and said to Pei Min: "I think about the murder of the camel team at the gate of the city a few days ago, and the case of the destruction of the Qile family, I think it should be the same group of people. Listening to what Li Ke said, Pei Min also came over and carefully examined the wound.

Pei Min finally replied: "From the depth of the deceased's knife edge and the angle of attack, we can basically judge the strength of the murderer, martial arts moves and sword habits, I think Brother Li's inference should be correct, and the perpetrators of these three cases should be the same group of people." ”

Hearing that Pei Min also had the same judgment, Li Ke had a bottom in his heart. Pei Min continued to ask: "Could it be that the perpetrators of all kinds of evil deeds in the Shendu in recent days are the twelve people outside?" Could it be that Khdo is also among the twelve? ”

Li Ke shook his head, and said in an unusually firm tone: "Impossible! ”

Pei Min asked puzzledly, "Why is Brother Li so sure?" ”

Li Ke didn't answer immediately, but walked to one of the corpses and leaned over to Pei Min and said, "Brother Pei, please look at this corpse, this is the only deceased who did not die from a throat cut, and the cause of his death should be that his neck was broken." ”

Pei Min still asked with a puzzled face: "What does that mean?" ”

Li Ke straightened up and said, "This shows that this person was not killed by the twelve people outside the door. Judging from the deceased, the martial arts of the two sides should be quite different, so they will be killed with a knife, let me ask Brother Pei, since he can kill with a blade, why bother to break the other party's neck? Is that unreasonable, unless the man is not holding a blade at all? ”

As soon as Li Ke said this, Pei Min suddenly realized, and Li Ke continued: "Today, I fought with Keduo in the cell, and he didn't hold a sword at that time, so I think maybe the murderer who killed this ghost servant should be Keduo; Moreover... There was no Chen Wuji among the twelve people outside the house, so it would not be enough for Keduo to ambush here, let Chen Wuji go first, this is unreasonable; And most importantly, there is no body of the red-haired Yama in this house, maybe he was not killed, maybe he escaped or was captured, or Kedo would not have let him go and stayed to ambush me. ”

After Li Ke said that, Pei Min immediately replied: "That's right, things must be as Brother Li said, I was almost misled." ”

Li Ke continued: "In any case, the target of the investigation is now locked, and the perpetrators of the successive cases that have occurred in the past few days can be regarded as having been found, so we should leave here as soon as possible, and then look for clues and chase down Keduo; Keduo is a ruthless person, and he even dares to directly slaughter the ghost market, it seems that he must not be taken lightly, the person behind him must be extremely powerful and has hands and eyes! ”

Pei Min didn't say anything more, nodded, and the two left the hut together, came to the ghost market hall, and then walked into the ghost market maze. Although Li Ke has walked through this ghost city labyrinth several times, he has never seen its true face. This is a dark and long stone road, the top of the stone road is not high, it is higher than the height of a person, enough for a person to stand upright through, the surrounding walls and the ground seem to be coated with secret materials, the light of the lamp and candle does not shine far at all, the distance visible to the eyes will not exceed three steps away, some strange patterns are painted on the walls around the wall, I can't see what it looks like, walking in this stone road makes people particularly depressed. Li Ke had heard that this ghost market labyrinth was extraordinary, it was designed by a master, and it would be difficult for ordinary people to get out of it if they strayed into it. The two walked to the end of the passage and encountered a fork in the road, which was passable on the left and right, Pei Min looked left and right, and said, "Why don't we go our separate ways, find the exit and echo loudly?" ”

After hearing this, Li Ke shook his head and replied, "No." We don't know how big this labyrinth is, and what if we can't hear it? Besides, this is only the first fork, I believe that there must be a fork in the back, so how to choose? I don't think we should be separated, but it would be better to take care of each other. ”

Pei Min also felt justified after hearing this, so he set off from the left side with Li Ke. Sure enough, they didn't go far, and another fork in the road appeared, and the two discussed it and continued to set off from the left road, and the forks in the back were like this, but I don't know how long they walked, and they never found the exit; Li Ke's heart became anxious, he proposed to set off to the right when he encountered a fork, Pei Min agreed, and so on, and after a long time, he still did not find the exit.

Li Ke has always been a little impulsive, and finally couldn't hold it back at this moment, and began to slap the top of the wall and the surroundings hard, but the stone wall did not move at all, thinking that this stone road must not be destroyed by manpower, so Li Ke was even more angry, and attacked the surrounding walls even more frantically, and the sound of "bang, bang" resounded throughout the labyrinth; Pei Min has been hidden from the world all the year round, with a gentle temperament, and when he saw Li Ke having such an attack, he didn't dissuade him, but he also felt a burst of anxiety in his heart, and began to beat the wall frantically with Li Ke.

Seeing that Pei Min also followed him and slapped the wall like crazy, this made Li Ke calm down instantly, Pei Min's behavior was too abnormal, and he had been friends for many years, no matter what Li Ke had never seen Pei Min like this, what happened today? Even if he is trapped in this labyrinth, Pei Min will never be like this; Seeing this, Li Ke stopped slapping, and hurriedly stepped forward to dissuade Pei Min, but Pei Min continued to slap around as if he hadn't heard it, Li Ke suddenly realized that something must be wrong, he didn't dare to slack off, while Pei Min was slapping, he threw Pei Min to the ground and pressed him down, but Pei Min didn't mean to stop, and still looked at the struggle to break free; Li Ke knew in his heart that something must have happened to this Pei Min, he pressed Pei Min desperately while calling his name loudly, but Pei Min didn't pay attention to it at all, but struggled even harder, and the whole person seemed to be crazy; Pei Min lost his reason, his strength instantly became terrifying, seeing that Li Ke was almost unable to suppress it, Li Ke was helpless, saw the opportunity, and slammed his palm on Pei Min's erect neck, Pei Min finally stopped struggling and fainted.

Li Ke gasped for breath in his mouth, looking at Pei Min who had fainted, he really couldn't understand why Pei Min was like this? It all came too suddenly, without warning, and Pei Min felt as if he had fallen under a spell. Li Ke looked at the candlestick in his hand, it was about to burn out, if there was no light for a while, then it would be even more difficult for the two of them to get out, thinking of this, he couldn't help but become impatient again, but he quickly closed his eyes, adjusted his breathing, controlled his mood, and finally slowly began to calm down.

He began to think carefully about why Pei Min was like this? Could it be that this oppressive stone path made him lose his heart? But that's not enough, even he can finally control his emotions, so how can Pei Min not be able to control it? If it is about the heart, he is a big difference compared to Pei Min; So what caused Pei Min to be like this?

Li Ke was thinking about it, Pei Min suddenly coughed and woke up.
