Chapter 14: Touching the melon along the vine
It may be that Ji Xiao's dependent appearance makes Si Yuanchen very useful.
Si Yuanchen explained to Ji Xiao, and his voice was a little cheerful.
"Styx."
These two words are Si Yuanchen's hint to Ji Xiao.
Styx? River?
In an instant, my mind recalled the poem hidden under Li Xueer's inkstone.
The monarch lives at the head of the Yangtze River, and the concubine lives at the end of the Yangtze River.
What if this phrase is not just used to express longing and love?
The place where Li Xue'er's body was found was in the River Styx, not far from the palace.
Got it!
Ji Xiao looked at Si Yuanchen excitedly, and said in a somewhat excited voice.
"There's a good chance that the lover is in the lower reaches of the River Styx!"
Love poems tend to be loved only if they resonate.
The location of their tryst was again in the River Styx
Everything seems to be clear at a glance.
Si Yuanchen nodded slightly, approving Ji Xiao's idea.
Before he was happy for a while, Ji Xiao suddenly discovered something.
"You...... Already thought of it? ”
Ji Xiao was asking Si Yuanchen on the surface, but in fact, he already had his own answer in his heart.
If Si Yuanchen hadn't thought of it, how could he wake himself up?
In response to Ji Xiao, only Si Yuanchen's silence was there.
"Then why didn't you remind me when I was running around on both sides before?"
Do you want to see yourself make a fool of yourself?
As soon as the evil thought appeared, Ji Xiao immediately nipped it in the bud. Si Yuanchen is good to himself, he sees it in his eyes, and he shouldn't think of him like this.
"Trust you." Si Yuanchen replied without thinking about it.
In just four words, Ji Xiao's head exploded, and an indescribable feeling spread in his heart.
Moved, in addition to being moved, is still moved. Heartbeat, seems to be a little heartbeat.
"Hmph." Ji Xiao forced himself to stay calm.
It's just that the slightly trembling humming sound is really not convincing.
Si Yuanchen nodded slightly, he was a little clear, but why was the smile in his eyes so obvious?
"You, you, you!" Ji Xiao was a little annoyed and angry, "Don't laugh, don't laugh!" Did you hear me? ”
"I didn't laugh." Si Yuanchen still had that faint tone.
Ji Xiao turned his face directly, pretending not to pay attention to Si Yuanchen.
Yes, Si Yuanchen's paralyzed face was not smiling. But Ji Xiao is not a fool, he can clearly feel that Si Yuanchen is laughing at him!
"Let's go!" Ji Xiao walked towards the lower reaches of the river without looking back.
Si Yuanchen didn't speak, so he followed Ji Xiao unhurriedly.
On the way there, Ji Xiao thought that Li Xue'er's little lover should not be a person with status.
Why else would you want to hide?
He had already made some preparations in his heart, but the scene in front of him was still beyond his expectations.
This is the slum of the underworld!
How do you find this?
Houses are made of human bones gathered from the ground.
Every little ghost here is a skinny kind, and it doesn't seem to have the ability to practice the exercises at all.
is still eating the flesh and blood of the underworld for a living.
"It's okay, let's look for it slowly." Si Yuanchen saw Ji Xiao's thoughts and comforted him.
This time, Si Yuanchen's comfort did not alleviate Ji Xiao's worries.
If there is no way to find out the real culprit within the specified time, Si Yuanchen's oath of God will really .......
Ji Xiao looked at Si Yuanchen with some hatred, "If you can't find the murderer, it's you who will have an accident at that time, how can you not be in a hurry?" ”
"What's the use of being in a hurry!" Si Yuanchen asked Ji Xiao rhetorically.
yes, what's the use of being in a hurry? Are you in a hurry that the murderer will come out?
"Besides......" Si Yuanchen's words changed, "I believe in you." ”
This is not the first time Si Yuanchen has said this to Ji Xiao.
But every time, Ji Xiao can regain his strength when he listens to it.
Ji Xiao stood in place, trying to forget all the affairs around him.
Immerse yourself in your own thoughts.
As far as a normal lover is concerned, Li Xueer will definitely help her lover when she sees her lover living such a poor life.
On the basis of hiding him, it must not be too blatant.
In this way, both the poorest and richest classes in the slums can be excluded.
Those who can't go up or down are within Ji Xiao's consideration.
But there are so many people in the slums, how can they be eliminated one by one?
In just these few minutes, Ji Xiao's mind had already turned a thousand times.
And Si Yuanchen seems to know how to read minds, knowing his mental journey,
"Has he been with Li Xue'er all the time before?" A question from Si Yuanchen woke up Ji Xiao.
Variation!
That's right, it's change!
The living environment of that little lover must have changed a lot before and after getting to know Li Xue'er, as long as you ask people nearby, you can narrow down the scope of the search.
"Thank you!" As soon as the words came out, Ji Xiao looked at Si Yuanchen with a shocked expression.
"How do you know what I'm thinking?"
Si Yuanchen threw Ji Xiao a secretive look, paused, and then said, "Looking at the font of that letter, it should also be a reader." ”
yes, why didn't he think of it?
Ji Xiao admired Si Yuanchen even more at this moment.
With the efforts of the two, Li Xueer's little lover was finally found by Si Yuanchen and the others.
This person's name is Yun Zhao, and he was a scholar before his death. Now a person lives alone in a slum.
"Is there anything you can do?" Yun Zhao saw the arrival of a stranger, and subconsciously nervous.
But still very polite.
"May I ask if you know Li Xue'er, the daughter of the King of Yucheng?"
When Ji Xiao asked this, his eyes were fixed on Yun Zhao's expression.
Sure enough, a trace of panic flashed across Yun Zhao's face. Although it was adjusted at once, it was still discovered by Ji Xiao.
"What are you talking about?" Yun Zhao's eyes were a little erratic, "I'm just an ordinary ghost, how could I know the daughter of the famous King Yucheng?" ”
"And what's going on with this letter?" Ji Xiao didn't bother to talk to Yun Zhao, they didn't have much time.
You still have to investigate the incident of Demon Ling Cao, so you have to solve it quickly.
As soon as he saw the envelope in Ji Xiao's hand, Yun Zhao's face suddenly darkened.
What's going on? Could it be that Li Xueer was discovered?
Yun Zhao still wanted to do a dying struggle, "How do you know that this letter is mine?" Is there any evidence? ”
"Poof," Ji Xiao couldn't help laughing.
Isn't this guy stupid? This house is full of his pen and ink, just compare it directly.
Maybe Yun Zhao also found that his question was a bit stupid, so he simply didn't pretend and poured out the questions in his head.
"Has Cher been discovered? Did something happen to her? King Yucheng didn't do anything to her, did he? ”
Yun Zhao's anxious eyes didn't seem to be fake, and Ji Xiao didn't suspect him.
Because it's really too hard for a person who can't even hide his emotions to lie.
"Tell me first, did you meet her that night?" In order to get more useful information, Ji Xiao did not tell him the news of Li Xue'er's death for the time being.
"I ......" Now that Ji Xiao has come up with "ironclad evidence", Yun Zhao doesn't want to defend anything.
"Yes, I met Cher that night." Yun Zhao also said an astonishing news, "For the sake of decency, I also deliberately wore the same clothes as you"
"Nonsense." Si Yuanchen's face was dark, his clothes were rewarded by the Jade Emperor, how could he be worn by others?
"I did meet Cher!" Yun Zhao was a little confused, and asked him just now, why is he talking nonsense now?
"He's talking about clothes." Ji Xiao was very anxious about Yun Zhao's low IQ, and he was really stupid to read.
Yun Zhao reacted, presumably this dress is more special.
"It's a little spell I learned by accident after coming here to mimic what I see." Yun Zhao began to cast the spell as he spoke.
Bursts of white light rose from under his feet, surrounding her. The white light dissipated, and Yun Zhao's clothes turned into moon dust.
Even a hint of surprise flashed in Si Yuanchen's eyes,
Even the Jade Emperor's specially customized clothes can be imitated.
"When did you see me?" Ji Xiao had another question at the moment.
He and Si Yuanchen just came to the underworld, and the time was not very long. How did Yun Zhao have time to see him?
"The last time you bought that slave, because you were more conspicuous, I saw it."
Hearing this, Ji Xiao was a little embarrassed. Dare to love is a disaster caused by one's own mess.
Ji Xiao threw an apologetic look at Si Yuanchen, if it weren't for his own problem, there wouldn't have been so many things now.
Si Yuanchen just glanced at Ji Xiao quietly and didn't say anything. It seems that he doesn't care at all.
"Can you tell me what happened to Cher?" Yun Zhao seemed to be unable to stand Ji Xiao and Si Yuanchen's "eyebrows" anymore.
Finally couldn't help but ask.
"Ahem" Ji Xiao was inexplicably a little weak-hearted, and then straightened up, "The daughter of King Yucheng has died, don't you know?" ”
"And he died on the night of your secret date."
This news made Yun Zhao feel like five thunderbolts and died? Why is this happening?
"So, now I want to ask you to go back to the Yucheng King's Mansion with us to investigate."
The conscience of heaven and earth, Ji Xiao said this sentence really just unintentionally.
It was just that he wanted Yun Zhao to go back with them to do some investigations, and he didn't mean anything else.
can be immersed in Yun Zhao, who has lost his lover, and wants to get this.
"You think I'm a murderer?" Yun Zhao's tone had changed, "Impossible! I love her so much! ”
Yun Zhao was already completely immersed in his emotions.
"That...... I didn't mean that......" Ji Xiao had already fallen into extreme embarrassment, "You calm down!" ”
"Calm down, how do you calm me down?" Yun Zhao was already roaring, "Do you know that the person who loves her the most in the world is me!" ”
"How could she die? How can you leave me alone? Have you found the murderer? Yun Zhao was holding Ji Xiao's robe, as if grasping the last straw.
"The murderer was not found, didn't we come to you to investigate the situation?" Ji Xiao was caught by Yun Zhao, but he still patiently explained to him.
This scene was fully watched by Si Yuanchen, and he saw that he frowned slightly, and gradually became suspicious of this book in his heart.
"So, you think I'm a murderer?"
Yun Zhao seemed to have settled on this point of view and couldn't listen to anything else.
"No, I can't go back with you." Yun Zhao muttered to himself, "I still have to find out the real murderer of Xue'er." ”
Hearing this, Ji Xiao was a little anxious. How could Yun Zhao be let go like this?
Although he didn't say that Yun Zhao was the real murderer, he was the most suspicious now.
If you don't bring him back, how can you give Ghost Li/Confession? Besides, he should at least make a statement about his relationship with Li Xueer!
He must not be let go.
Thinking like this, Ji Xiao subconsciously grabbed Yun Zhao's arm.
It was this action that completely ignited Yun Zhao.
