[The book continues from the above, and the last book said that Zhao Liang and the director of the hall staged a good show of being intimidated by the director and no longer pursuing the immortal path, but in fact, he turned the investigation into the dark. On the other side, Mu Qingming found two colors of powder from the broken underground dark grid, and Mo Han relied on the fox demon's keen sense of smell to sniff out one of them was ebony powder. After luring out Miaole to arrive, and after smelling out that another powder was the secret medicine of the color gate through their sense of smell, Mu Qingming and Mo Han found the sandwich wall that had been sealed with brand new green bricks by the Immortal Dao in the West House. 】

A gust of spring breeze blew in from the open door, and Mu Qing muttered as he pondered, "How can there be powdered ebony here?" He wrapped his handkerchief for fear that the powder would be blown away by the wind.

"What about the other one?" After putting away the handkerchief, Mu Qingming asked again.

Mo Han twisted his eyebrows into pimples, and after a deep groan, he racked his brains to think about it, and he didn't know what the other powder was, so he had to shake his head silently with some embarrassment.

The other powder is almost odorless, not slightly sweet and salty like ebony, making it difficult to tell what it is by smell alone. And although Mo Han is a three-hundred-year-old purple fox demon, he has lived in the mountains and villages for a long time, and has no frequent contact with the outside world, so his experience is naturally shallow. Even if the powder smelled, her experience might not be recognizable.

"I had to take it back and let Miaoyu see it, maybe she can know." Mu Qingming was not discouraged, but smiled indifferently and said, "Let's go, let's go see Westinghouse." ”。

But before he could take a step, Mo Han asked at the moment when he spoke, "Then what do you think is in this underground dark grid?" ”。

Mu Qingming turned his head and visually measured the height and length and width of the dirt pit, the size of which could not fit too big a thing; So he said thoughtfully, "I think maybe it's a tool that can rub the powder against the object, or maybe it's the powder packed into a bag; There's the ebony one, and there's the powder one you can't even smell out. ”。

"Are you saying it could be a medicine mill?" Mo Han suddenly remembered the medicine mill at home, so he blurted out a question. After seeing Mu Qingming's slight bow, she thought about it and asked, "But there's no need to take this thing away?" ”。

"Of course it is necessary, Li Jin is a policeman, not a pharmacist, let alone a doctor, and there are more things at home that are not needed, which is to leave clues." Mu Qingming put away his smile and said, "It may be something else." ”。

"Put these inconsequential speculations aside for now, and let's go to the Westinghouse." After a pause, Mu Qingming took her hand as she said this, bypassed Xiao Xu's corpse and walked towards the outside of the house.

The small courtyard outside the house was breezy in the breeze, and it felt refreshed without a cold corpse, and the depression in the air was naturally not as heavy as in the main house.

It's just that after all, the corpse is close at hand, and Mo Han always feels that this sunlit courtyard is not so warm.

She followed Mu Qingming to the West House, and saw that the West House was used as a kitchen. The West House is the same size as the East House opposite, and it is also one zhang wide and more than two zhang long, which is not large. There is a table of eight immortals next to the door, with cutting boards, kitchen knives and vegetable washing basins, as well as several jars of pickled cabbage. In the corners of both ends, on one side is an earthen stove with thick dust, and even the firewood piled up next to the stove has fallen a lot of dust. On the other side is a standing cabinet placed next to the wall, which is used to store dishes, chopsticks and spoons.

Mu Qingming stood still in the room, looked around for a while, and frowned.

It stands to reason that there are few furnishings in this west house, and it can be said that it is clear at a glance like the east house and the main house. But after Mu Qingming looked around for a while, he always felt a little weird, but he couldn't say where the weirdness was for a while.

Just as he was about to continue to take a closer look, Mo Han suddenly said, "I sensed that someone was coming, it seemed to be Miaole." ”。

"Oh, I asked her to come over and see the weird babies in the stone chamber under the East House." Mu Qingming, who was interrupted from his thoughts, simply put away the fox suspicion first, and went out of the Westhouse with Mo Han to open the door for Miaole.

When Zhao Liang left, he was afraid that someone with good deeds would come in to watch, so he closed the door after going out, and then Mo Han plugged in the latch at the back of the door.

Mo Han walked to the back of the door in two or three steps, opened the latch and opened the door, Miaole just walked to the door. Seeing that the door opened before knocking, Miaole was also stunned.

Then she saw that it was Mo Hanhou behind the door, she smiled lightly, and said in a voice like a mosquito: "Miss Mo." ”。

"Come on in." After Mo Han turned sideways and welcomed her in, he closed the door again and plugged in the latch.

"Miaole, did you watch it when you came? Where's the bottom of this neighborhood? Mu Qingming also greeted him and asked urgently.

They came out of the secret passage, and Zhao Liang didn't have time to say the location of this place, so when he used his mind to transmit the sound, Mu Qing secretly explained that Miao Le must pay attention to the location of this place when he comes.

"Near Daxingpo in the northeast of Jiulong Pond (now the intersection of Yuantong Street and Qingyun Street in Kunming), not far from Yulongdui (now the area of Cuihu North Road)." Miao Le frowned, looked around Mu Qingming towards the main house behind him, and then muttered, "How can there be the breath of a dead man?" ”。

The Lock Dragon people have their own physiques, such as Mu Qingming and Tie Hua are good at fighting and strange arts, while Miao Yu has a natural sensitivity to all kinds of drugs, and can sniff out what kind of medicine it is without looking at it. Miaole, on the other hand, has an innate perception of living and dead things, and can also distinguish from the breath whether the dead have been used or practiced in their lives.

That's why Mu Qingming asked her to come and see those corpse babies.

"The deceased is still a man, and it seems that the manpower to kill him is not small." I didn't see the body, and I told the gender of the deceased just by perceiving Miaole. If it weren't for her or the dragon locker, Mu Qingming knew her special ability, and would definitely arrest her as an accomplice to the murderer.

"Yes, the neck bone was shattered with a palm." Mu Qingming nodded and said.

"There are still a lot of dead babies." Miaole, who frowned slightly, continued to sense the surroundings, and said slowly: "Underground, it's a deformed baby." ”。

As soon as these words came out, Mu Qingming's face remained unchanged, but Mo Han was shocked with a little admiration. Miao Le didn't even see the corpse, and she knew what the corpse was by her perception alone, which made her admire it.

"Yes, just to let you see if there are any signs of the spell on these babies, but I don't see any traces of the spell on the surface; I don't know about the internal organs, and then you move them all back by the way. Mu Qingming took out the embroidered handkerchief, carefully unfolded it in front of Miao Le, who nodded in response, pointed to the handprint printed by the lilac powder on it, and asked, "What do you see this powder is?" ”。

Miao Le silently stared at the lilac powder that formed the handprints for a moment, and then his brow, which was slightly furrowed, furrowed even tighter.

After thinking for a moment in silence, he said thoughtfully: "This seems to be the secret medicine of Caimen." ”。

"Huh? Color Gate? Mu Qingming also frowned, and after the shock flashed on his face, Mu Qingming suddenly realized.

The rivers and lakes are called Caimen, and Cai is the meaning of Cai Lizi, which is the lip language of the trick. In the eyes of many ordinary people, the people in Caimen are just a group of people who can conjure up immortals to pick beans, empty boxes to turn into foreign fires and broken fans to restore and other tricks, and the magicians who are popular all over the world today are all the way.

As everyone knows, the development of Caimen is today, and juggling is not their main income, the main income is to sell their own secret medicine.

There is a profession in the color gate, which is called the removal of the confession in the Jianghu lip dictionary, which is the position set up in the color gate after the year of Gengzi (1900 AD), that is, under the guise of teaching people small tricks, the person who sells some of the secret medicines of the color gate.

As far as Mu Qingming knew, among the various secret medicines sold to the outside world, this "immortal stripping" had the best sales. Just hide this secret medicine in the nail cover, and when it is time to use it, quietly flick the powder into the neck of the opponent from behind the person you want to deal with, and it will take less than a cigarette to ensure that the other person is itching and unbearable, and you must immediately undress.

Many people who are not right-minded often use this kind of medicine powder to tease women, or when men want to pretend to be gentlemen and don't want the overlord to force women from good families to strip and submit. Even in the brothels, there was always this secret medicine of Caimen, which was used together with aphrodisiacs, especially against the girls who were only sold in the kilns; Or it is used to add a bit of interest to the guests who come to the door.

This makes the mysterious Caimen who once seemed to be so shameless in the eyes of mortals, and Caimen was therefore labeled as unscrupulous to make money.

"I didn't think of that." After the consternation, Mu Qingming's eyes flashed with remorse: "The drug that Wu's mother used at the beginning may have come from Caimen!" ”。

Saying this, Mu Qingming also had an urge to slap himself a few times in his heart. At that time, he limited his guesses and clues to the people who took flowers, and he actually forgot that many of them couldn't prepare secret medicines by themselves, and they were all bought from Caimen, which made the progress of the investigation slow.

"But what kind of medicine is Caimen, the young master has to ask Senior Sister Miaole, she is an expert in this area." Miao Le said slowly.

Mu Qingming nodded and put away the handkerchief again.

"Then young master, I'll go see those dead babies." Miao Le saw that he was silent, as if thinking about something, so she offered to see the dead baby first.

"Hmm." Mu Qingming nodded, raised his hand and pointed to the east house not far away: "There are still mechanisms inside, you be careful." And there's a secret passage that leads to the underground detention cell under the police station, so don't go in. ”。

"Got it." Miaole answered, and then turned and walked towards the east house.

Mu Qing continued to be silent after speaking, thinking about whether he should visit the local Caimen, when the dust suddenly collapsed from his brain, and then his eyes lit up, and his frowning brows relaxed: "I know there is something wrong with this West House." ”。

"I always felt something was wrong when I was in the house." After a pause, under Mo Han's surprised gaze, he looked at the West House beside him, and said slowly: "There is a lot of dust on the stove and the firewood piled next to it, obviously Li Jin has not been cooking in it for a long time, but there is no dust on the cabinet on the other side, obviously someone put it somewhere." ”。

After saying that, he walked straight into the house, and stood directly in front of the cabinet and moved it open. Then a new brick wall came into his eyes.

In the brick joints, you can also see glutinous rice paste with sediment that has not yet fully solidified.

Mu Qingming pursed his lips, clenched his right hand into a fist without hesitation, and raised his hand to punch the wall.

Under Mo Han's worried soft exclamation, the few green bricks that he had concentrated shattered into countless pieces and fell with a bang. A sandwich wall, no more than two feet wide, appeared before their eyes.

What's in the wall? Whether the color gate and the immortal road are in the same stream, I want to know what will happen next, and listen to the next decomposition.
