The first thing that made Long Xi (Song Xi) suspicious was Qin Fusheng!

Because it was he who told her about Wang Fulai's presence at the banquet. But then she denied this idea, and regardless of the open-minded attitude he showed to life, it was not like he would kill, just saying that he was old, how could he fly off the wall to commit murder.

What's more, he could have led her suspicions to Wang Fulai between words, or just pulled a bystander, anyway, who remembered what he had done after drinking too much, and he didn't risk exposing himself to kill him at all.

The next thing she suspected was Chen Shengxiao, because she suddenly realized that since she met Chen Shengxiao, all her thoughts had been based on the information he provided, whether it was Xu Ju's matter, or the squire's dinner, or finally about Wang Fulai's debts, all the key points were related to him, as if he was waiting there on purpose and made a special trip to tell her these things.

Just like so many coincidences before, Long Xi (Song Xi) didn't think this coincidence was reasonable. Chen Shengxiao's ability to say so many key words, intentionally or unintentionally, shows that he is either the murderer, or he knows the murderer's plan, and he is a complete bystander.

So she decided to take a risk and see if Chen Shengxiao was the murderer.

At this time, Xiao Xuehu, who had been lying on Long Xi's shoulder, suddenly spoke: "Master, I sense that my good friend Ginseng Tree is in trouble, and is besieged by many cute pets, and they want to eat it, but there are no roots left! It has not yet transformed and can't escape, and needs my help, I'm going to leave you! Take care of yourself! If you want to see me again, you can play the game "Cute Pet Cultivation Academy" game, which is a subsidiary game of the "Little Detective of the Song Dynasty" game, and I am waiting for you in that game! Master, take care, we will see you in the rivers and lakes!"

"Huh?" Long Xi was reluctant in his heart, but he didn't keep it. She knew that Xiao Xuehu would not leave for no reason.

If she wants to find Xiao Xuehu in the future, then go to that "Cute Pet Cultivation Academy" to find it, it's a very simple thing!

Xiao Xuehu jumped off her shoulder, bent her knees very sensibly, nodded at her a few times, with tears in her eyes, and jumped away.

Long Xi (Song Xi) glanced at the little Pixiu who was playing in the distance, and thought to himself, fortunately, I still have one!

That night, Long Xi (Song Xi) set up the incense case candlestick in the courtyard, took out the peach wood sword and rune paper she had bought, put on the wide robe that almost wrapped her completely, and began to practice.

Zhao Kaizhi (Mo Kun) held a basin full of water and stood respectfully on the side.

Long Xi (Song Xi) first raised his hands above his head and made a lifting posture, and then slowly put it down, and his colleague took a deep breath, as if he had received the aura of heaven. Then she shook her head and hummed a language she didn't understand, and then brandished her peachwood sword and walked around the incense table. It didn't take long for her to suddenly let out a loud shout, open her eyes, wave her sleeves, and boom, a huge flame burst out of the candle flame on the incense table, burning people's eyes.

Outside the courtyard stood many maids and maids, and the loud noise frightened them to take a few steps back, for fear of setting themselves on fire, and some of the timid even screamed and collapsed in the arms of their companions.

Long Xi (Song Xi) ignored them, stared at the three pillars of incense in the incense burner with his eyes, and continued to chant the words in his mouth: "The Jade Emperor, Taishang Laojun, Tai Bai Xing, Antarctic Immortals, Nine Heavens Immortals, disciples are concentrating on seeking advice, who is the real murderer of these murders!"

Then she picked up a stack of rune papers, lit them on the candle flame, and shouted: "Hurry like a law, the murderer has appeared!"

She walked a few steps, threw the lit rune paper into the basin in Zhao Kaizhi's (Mo Kun) hand, and shouted again: "Quickly appear!"

The talisman ash stained the basin of clear water in a muddy state, and the unburned rune paper floated and sank in the water, but other than that, there was nothing.

Long Xi (Song Xi) stared at the water with a serious face, and said continuously: "I see, so it is, it will be him!"

"Who is it? Some people in the crowd whispered, speculating about what she saw, but she turned her back to everyone, except for Zhao Kaizhi (Mo Kun) who was holding the basin, no one could see the scene in the basin.

Her expression made Zhao Kaizhi (Mo Kun) want to laugh out loud, but in order to cooperate with her pretending to be a ghost, he still made a very reverent appearance and looked at the basin of muddy water.

"It's—"

Before Long Xi (Song Xi) could say anything, a huge explosion came from the east chamber, and then the flames rose into the sky, and chaotic footsteps and screams also came.

"Let's go to the water, let's go to the water, let's put out the fire!"

"Master, Lord and Mrs. are still inside!"

"Come and put out the fire!"

......

Long Xi (Song Xi) and Zhao Kaizhi (Mo Kun) glanced at each other, hurriedly tore off their robes, and shouted at the stupid servants: "Why are you still stunned, go and put out the fire!"

The group of people woke up like a dream, and busily picked up the buckets and other things in the courtyard, and ran towards the east wing.

Wei Chijing, who was hiding in the shadows, didn't expect this to happen, he was originally to protect the safety of Long Xi (Song Xi), who would have thought that the Chen Mansion would suddenly go out of the water. Seeing this, he could not hide it, and beckoned the officials who were with him to run towards the place where the fire started.

Outside the fire, the housekeeper was directing the family members to put out the fire, but the fire was too fierce, and dozens of family members took turns pouring water but still couldn't make the fire shrink slightly, and the water that was splashed quickly evaporated.

Hearing that Chen Shengxiao and his wife were all trapped in the room, Long Xi (Song Xi) was also anxious, but he couldn't help at all. She originally suspected Chen Shengxiao that she had today's practice, how could she have thought of such a drastic change, could her suspicions be wrong, Chen Shengxiao is not a murderer, but an insider, the real murderer killed him directly in order to cover up the crime?

If this is the case, then didn't her behavior intensify the murderer's determination to get rid of Chen Shengxiao?

As soon as she thought of this, her heart became even more anxious.

"Butler, come on......" There was a faint shout from the fire.

Long Xi (Song Xi) looked at it fixedly, it was a sturdy man who walked out of the fire with Chen Shengxiao, who was already unconscious, but the fire was too fierce, and the hair and clothes of the two were scorched in many places.

Seeing this, the housekeeper immediately beckoned someone to help the two to a safe position, and ordered someone to find a doctor to take a look at the two.

The man gasped intermittently and said, "Madame, Madame is still inside, go and save Madame." ”

Chen Shengxiao had already passed out of a coma because he had inhaled too much smoke and dust.

The butler replied busily, but when he had chosen two young and strong men, the largest timber on the beams of the house suddenly fell, bringing up a large cloud of dust, which directly blocked the way into the house, and the fire jumped even higher.

"Ma'am!" the butler looked at the flames, tears streaming down his face.

Other maids and servants also cried bitterly, Mrs. Chen is known for her good heart and never criticizes her subordinates, so the subordinates in Chen's mansion like this housewife very much, how can they not be sad now.

Long Xi (Song Xi) looked at the unconscious Chen Shengxiao and the crying people all over the yard, and only felt cold, could she really be wrong? Because of her random speculation, the murderer first attacked to get rid of Chen Shengxiao and his wife?

The fire was extinguished the next morning, Chen Shengxiao was still unconscious, the housekeeper and others found a burned unrecognizable corpse in the rubble, and a bold girl came forward to identify it, confirming that the body was Mrs. Chen, who had not escaped from the fire.

Long Xi (Song Xi) only felt chest tightness and shortness of breath, and the uncontrollable nausea forced her to run to the side and retch, Zhao Kaizhi (Mo Kun) hurriedly turned around and ran away when he saw this.

"Don't stay here if you're not feeling well. Zhao Jin, who stayed here all night like her, handed over a handkerchief and said in a low voice.

"Thank you. Long Xi (Song Xi) took the handkerchief with a pale face and clutched it in his hand, and his heart was heavy like pressing a mountain.

Now she couldn't care about being afraid, and self-blame burned in her chest like a prairie fire, burning her in agony.

She felt that it was her mistake in reasoning that led to the murderer's first strike, so there was this fire, which caused Mrs. Chen, who had only one side of the fate, to die in the fire.

"Brother Song, drink water. Zhao Kaizhi (Mo Kun) panted and brought a teapot and teacup from the west wing, poured a cup of water and handed it to Long Xi (Song Xi).

Long Xi (Song Xi) took the water cup and drank it all, but the chest tightness did not improve in the slightest. Her delicate brow almost knotted, she had never doubted herself so much since she was a child.

"I think they still have to clean up these things, and we can't help much, so let's go back to the West Chamber and wait. Zhao Jin glanced at Wei Chijing, who was directing everyone to clean up the mess, and glanced at Gongsun Wuming (Yan Lichuan).

Gongsun Wuming (Yan Lichuan) nodded and left, and Zhao Kaizhi (Mokun) thoughtfully removed his gaze from him.

At this time, the sun is slowly rising, and the bright yellow light is shining on the earth, which is the best time of the day. But against the blackened wreckage of the house and the sad looks on everyone's faces, this should have been a beautiful moment could not be more cheerful.

Long Xi (Song Xi) and Zhao Kaizhi (Mo Kun) followed Zhao Jin back to the West Chamber, and sat down in the pavilion in the courtyard.

Long Xi (Song Xi) didn't want to speak, Zhao Kaizhi (Mo Kun) had nothing to say, and Zhao Jin pondered.

For a moment, there was silence in the pavilion, only the sound of birds flapping their wings in the treetops came intermittently.

It didn't take long for Gongsun Wuming (Yan Lichuan) to return to Zhao Jin and whisper a few words in his ear, the latter's expression changed slightly, and then he quickly regained his composure, still looking like a beautiful son.

"Miss Song, there is something you should be interested in knowing. Zhao Jin smiled mysteriously, and tapped his slender index finger on the table.
