Before dawn, Xiao Jiading and the others buried Jiao Niang's body. Then continue on the road.

After only a few miles, Xiao Jiading stood still, staring at the corner of the mountain road in front of him in amazement. Ge Lao and the others also stopped, looking there, their faces were even more frightened. -- On a large tree at the corner of the mountain road, a corpse hung high, which was the tuberculosis shell that had escaped the night before. He was naked, his neck had been broken, he was pulled over his shoulders, and a thin rope hung from his broken neck. The left side of his naked chicken breast is also a bloody bloody hole.

Directly below the corpse, the clothes of the deceased, had been stained red with blood.

Huang Shiyun screamed in fright and threw herself into Xiao Jiading's arms desperately.

Xiao Jiading comforted her softly, walked to the corpse, and looked up to observe.

Siqi and the three of them, as if they were nothing, walked over, and walked under the corpse, as if there was no corpse hanging on it. When he walked to the mess of blood-stained clothes under the corpse, Siqi suddenly stopped, squatted down, then stood up again, and continued to support each other and walk forward.

Ge Lao and Loess were already sifting through chaff, standing there unable to move, and said to Xiao Jiading in a trembling voice: "Shaoxia, what should I do now?" ”

Loess also said: "Yes, why don't we run together?" I'm old and young, I'm ......, I don't want to die......"

Xiao Jiading said coldly: "Damn the ball!" Immortal for thousands of years, only to bite the bullet, at this time, we have no choice. It's almost time to Sizhou, the road behind, let's not separate, take turns to sleep, and at the same time, stay away from Siqi and the others, be wary of anyone who approaches. ”

Loess could only nod, he had no choice. If you run away on your own. Without a super master like Xiao Jiading, there is only a dead end. The current tuberculosis shell is the best proof, and the old woman reminded that if you take the money and run away, you will die.

Pavilion Lao looked at the three people walking slowly in front of him, Nunu, and said, "Shaoxia suspects that they did it?" ”

"I was so suspicious, but from yesterday to today, the three of them have never left my sight, so it can't be them. At least kill the tuberculosis husk. It can't be them. ”

"Who the hell is that? Who is going to kill us? ”

Xiao Jiading pondered for a moment and said, "I believe I am close to the truth. ”

―――――――――――

The sun set, this time, Xiao Jiading did not make any arrangements, after Siqi and the three of them fell asleep, he, Ge Lao, and Loess also rested, and Huang Shiyun was by his side. This time, Xiao Jiading did not sit cross-legged like the previous times.

Instead, he lay on his back on the grass and fell asleep.

The night was quiet, the surroundings were dark, and the two of them were so nervous that their heads were sweating. Where can I still sleep, sitting back to back, sword in hand, nervously staring at the night of the black hole in front of me. Siqi and the others slept on the grass not far away. Snuggle up to each other.

Time passed little by little, and the night darkened little by little. Moreover, there is a thick darkness in the air. In the same dark night, no one noticed the change.

Ge Lao and Loess, who were sitting back to back, their originally tense nerves slowly relaxed, and their eyelids began to fight. The black fog that deepened the night enveloped the two of them.

At this moment, the loess suddenly lowered its head and shook its body twice.

Then the black fog quickly dissipated, and Ge Lao realized that the loess on his back seemed to be wrong, and he wanted to turn around to take a look, but the loess tilted its head and fell on the grass. Ge Lao immediately smelled a strong smell of blood, which rushed to his nose.

He was taken aback, jumped up, the long sword in his hand danced, protected his body, and exclaimed: "Xiao Shaoxia! Oh no, the loess was killed! ”

He immediately thought that the loess was actually behind his back, clinging to himself and being killed, but he didn't notice it at all. If the murderer is targeting himself, then he can say that he has no chance to escape. Thinking of this, he couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat all over his body, trembling, and the rest of the words came out.

Xiao Jiading did not react as much as before, and still lay on the grass without movement, but Huang Shiyun was awakened by the scream, hugged Xiao Jiading at once, and looked around in horror.

Xiao Jiading was still lying down, his hands even pillowed on the back of his head, and said slowly: "Siqi and Siqin, your methods of killing people are very clever!" ”

The old woman, Aunt Wang, said angrily: "What do you mean? ”

"You know exactly what I mean! I also know very well, but there is one thing, I don't know, - why do you want to kill these men who are guarding you? ”

Ge Lao was shocked and angry, and immediately stood beside Xiao Jiading, and said angrily at Siqi and the three of them in the dark: "It turned out that you did it!" Why? ”

Aunt Wang said indifferently: "I don't understand what you say. However, I think you also know that our lord is a Chinese scholar and one of the prime ministers, so not everyone can frame him. It doesn't matter who you are. ”

Xiao Jiading said: "Of course I don't dare to frame the prime minister's family, but if it is a murderer, it is the prime minister himself, and I will not indulge!" I am now the commander of the prince of Chang'an Yongzhou Mansion, and I am in charge of the criminal name of Yongzhou Mansion! ”

"Yongzhou Mansion Clothes?" The old woman was taken aback, "Are you Xiao Jiading?" ”

Xiao Jiading smiled: "I didn't expect that my fame is already so big, even you women who live in the courtyard know it." ”

"Humph! Xiao Zhiyi, even if you have the right to arrest the murderer, then you have to come up with evidence, right? You can't spew blood without proof! ”

"Evidence? Of course, there is. At this moment, Xiao Jiading slowly sat up, stared at the three people not far away, and said to the elder next to him: "Ignite the fire sickle!" ”

The fire sickle was quickly ignited, Xiao Jiading took it, and came to the ground, only to see that there was a faint layer of frost on the ground, which extended to the Siqi sisters.

Ge Lao was surprised: "It's early autumn now, and the weather is still relatively hot, where is the frost?" ”

Xiao Jiading raised his middle finger: "I found that I practiced a kind of martial arts that can turn objects I come into contact into freezing. So, after lying down, I laid this frozen hoarfrost around the two of you. In such a dark night, it is on the ground again, and no one will notice. Sure enough, I got the footprints of the murderer, and as I expected, the murderer was Siqi and the three of them! ”

Aunt Wang had to say more, but Siqi had already stopped her: "Xiao Zhiyi, if you want to arrest us, let's show evidence first!" ”

Xiao Jiading didn't speak again, he stood up and followed the footprints until he disappeared in front of his sister Siqin.

Xiao Jiading sighed and said, "Unexpectedly, the murderer turned out to be my sister Siqin, who had not spoken all the way. I'm sorry, I'm going to check her hands now, and I'm sure the blood on them hasn't been wiped off yet. ”

After that, Xiao Jiading reached out to grab Siqin's arm, and Siqi raised his hand to block Xiao Jiading's arm.

Xiao Jiading's whole body was shocked, staring at Siqi, and the light in his eyes immediately became grim, like a cheetah, facing a lioness.

Siqin slowly let go of Xiao Jiading's hand and said, "You can't touch my sister." She can't be a murderer either! ”

"Oh? Please give me a reason to convince me. ”

Siqi pondered for a moment, and finally asked slowly, "Do you really want to know?" ”

"Yes!"

Siqi was silent for a long time before he said, "Okay, you come here, I'll tell you." ”

Xiao Jiading did not hesitate, immediately put his ear up, and heard Siqi's voice so thin that it was almost inaudible: "Because my sister Siqin is ...... and dead!" ”

Xiao Jiading's body was shocked, and he slowly withdrew his head, looking at Siqi, there was a kind of horror in his eyes, and then, he turned his real gaze back to Siqin in front of him. At the same time, he reached over and gently landed on Siqin's cold iron wrist with two fingers.

There is no pulse, and there is no warmth in the skin of a living person. He raised the fire sickle high and shone it on Siqi's face, her face was lifelike, and there was no breath of death, except for those eyes, Xiao Jiading had already seen that her pupils were already cloudy, as if covered by a layer of white film.

This is one of the signs of death. Once again, it turns out that Siqin is actually a corpse.

Dead person? A corpse, actually a murderer?

Then, Siqi also raised his hand and sent his hand to Xiao Jiading: "Whether I am a murderer or not, you can also check." Let's see if there's any blood on my hands. ”

Xiao Jiading glanced down and glanced at it, and with the fire sickle in his hand, he could see clearly that her palm was also clean and clean, without the slightest trace of blood.

Xiao Jiading shook his hand, and the fire sickle in his hand was extinguished: "I'm sorry, Miss Siqi, I'm sorry." However, I still don't understand at all: why do footprints continue from the loess to your front? Can you explain? ”

"Can't!" Siqi replied lightly, "We are sleeping, we don't know anything else, as for why there are shoe prints to us, this requires you, the great detective, to investigate carefully." - I heard that you have a good ability to solve cases, and now is the time for you to show your talents. ”

Speaking of this, the corners of Siqi's mouth even showed a sly smile.

Xiao Jiading also smiled reluctantly and said, "What the girl said is that you can't suspect the two of you just by a string of footprints, it's me who is abrupt." The murderer came and went like the wind, and his martial arts were extremely skillful, and he killed people in the crowd a few times before, but we didn't know it, and now it is not a difficult thing to leave a series of footprints to frame the two girls. It seems that I misunderstood the two of you. Please forgive me! ”

After that, Xiao Jiading stood up and bowed.

Siqi just smiled faintly and said, "It's okay, Xiao Zhiyi is also tolerant, nothing." It's still early, we need to rest, so we won't chat with Childe. Then he closed his eyes and recuperated himself, and said no more.

Xiao Jiading returned to Huang Shiyun's side, Huang Shiyun didn't hear their most critical words, that is, she didn't know that Siqin was a corpse, she didn't understand why Xiao Jiading looked confident before, and after listening to Siqi's few whispers, he immediately judged the two of them. He wanted to ask, but seeing that Xiao Jiading didn't mean to explain to her, he swallowed the words. (To be continued......)
