Chapter 149: Falling short

"There were no scars on his body, and there were no signs of struggle, and it looked like he had been sucked out of his soul in his sleep."

Chen Dao glanced at Yu Xiadao, who was frowning and silent.

Yu Xia looked up at him when he heard this:

"Hall Master Chen, do you think I have the strength to extract his soul completely without him noticing?"

This is also ridiculous, not to mention that she will not be able to extract the spell of the divine soul at all, although she and Xu Hao are both second-grade, but she is from a peasant family, and there are not many resources available, compared to Xu Hao, who has endless magic weapons on her body, it is even more difficult.

If the two really face each other, she is not Xu Hao's opponent at all.

To put Xu Hao to death unknowingly is a difficult thing for the current Yu Xia.

Chen Dao did not deny this conjecture, but nodded seriously.

"There are too many unexpected secrets in you, and I can't make an accurate estimate of your true strength."

Chen Dao's words made Yu Xia not know how to refute, but Tan Lin'er rolled her eyes and said:

"Then if she's an ordinary person, just because you don't know her strength, do you also treat her as a suspect?"

Chen Wei was unmoved, "It's enough that she is indeed suspected of murder, and the rest will be thoroughly investigated." ”

"What do you want to do with me?"

Yu Xia appeased Tan Lin'er, who wanted to speak up again, and asked Chen Dao calmly.

"Let's take you into custody for the time being, and don't act until your suspicion is cleared."

"What about the competition of the Xuanshi Conference?"

"Naturally, you will be allowed to participate as usual."

"Yes." Yu Xia nodded, "But I have a request." ”

Chen Dao glanced at her and motioned for her to continue.

"I'm going to work with you to find out what's really happening."

"It's not in order." Chen Dao said indifferently.

"Since I have been wronged, it is reasonable for me to want to clear my suspicion in person."

Tan Lin'er also helped, "Yes, yes, what if I just count on you and can't find out?" Have you been in your care all your life? ”

"That's true, and there aren't many people available in Daoyuan Hall in Huailing County, so let Miss Yu act with you, saving time and effort."

It was South Africa Creek who spoke, and her attitude towards Yu Xia has not changed since Yu Xia was identified as a murderer at the beginning.

Yu Xia showed a smile towards South Africa Creek, his eyes swept over Zhou Sixteen, who looked inexplicable, and Gu Dabao, who looked anxious, nodded to the two, and then took his gaze back.

Daoyuan Tang's protector envoy has traveled outside all the year round, to explore the grievances for its grievances, and there are usually only two people left in Huailing County, and now the news has just been sent, and the two protectors have not yet come.

If you want to investigate the case, plus the words of the guards Yu Xia Tan Lin'er and the others, the manpower is indeed a little stretched.

Otherwise, the corpse would not have been guarded by the people sent by the Celestial Star now.

After all, Daoyuan Hall is the only supervising party, and the Tianxing faction, which is the organizer of this Xuanshi Conference, should also be included in the ranks of suspects.

Although Yu Xia is the most suspicious, everyone in Dengyun Tower is suspicious.

Therefore, it is not in accordance with the rules to let the Celestial Star Sect, who is also suspicious, guard the body.

"Let Miss Yu act with you, you leave one person to guard the body, and the two of you take Miss Yu to investigate the case together, isn't it right?"

South Africa's words moved Chen Dao, Chen Dao nodded, and said to Yu Xia:

"In that case, you will be with me in the next few days."

Due to the murder, today's fight was postponed to tomorrow morning.

The fourth floor is still the same as the private room last time.

"Old man Xu, you are too impulsive today."

Old lady Xu sat slumped in the chair, her face was full of depravity, as if she was much older, and when she heard Mo Daochang's words, her eyelids lifted as if she wanted to look at him, but her eyes were empty, as if she was not looking at anything.

"Impulsive?" Old lady Xu tugged at the corners of her mouth, "How could I think of this, my dignity is lost." But Hao'er is dead, what do you think I should do? ”

As he spoke, tears flowed from his cloudy eyes, and his old face was instantly covered.

"God is going to kill me!"

"Heaven is going to kill my Xu family!"

As he spoke, Mrs. Xu clutched the teacup in his hand tightly, only to hear the sound of "click", which was the sound of porcelain breaking.

Looking at Old Lady Xu's hands again, they were already drenched in blood, and the teacup he was holding in his hand was broken into pieces and stained with blood.

"Alas, Old Man Xu, why are you doing this!"

Seeing Old Lady Xu like this, Mo Daochang broke his hand and took out the fragments of the teacup inside one by one.

Old Lady Xu didn't seem to feel pain, her eyes were still looking ahead with a vacant look, and she muttered:

"Twenty years, I've been planning for twenty years! It only takes four more years to be successful! Who knew that today, all this fell short! ”

Mo Daochang took out the gold sore medicine and sprinkled it on Old Lady Xu, and comforted:

"Don't be too pessimistic, you're wrong by betting all on one option. Isn't the test question for the competition already out? Maybe we can see if there is another way out? ”

"Question ...... Heh......"

Hearing Mo Daochang mention this matter, Old Lady Xu smiled sadly:

"Originally, I said this question just to make Hao'er's answer look better. After so many years, the Xu family has invited all the masters, and that is already the most feasible way. In a mere competition of the Xuanshi Conference, can you expect someone to give a better idea? ”

"The road to heaven is endless, and it has not yet reached the end, how do you know that this is a mortal situation?"

Mo Daochang sighed and said: "The top priority at the moment is to find the real culprit, and the other is to find a new way, isn't there still four years left?" Giving up early is not like your style. ”

Old lady Xu was silent for a long time, and sighed:

"Well, what else can I do now? I just don't know ...... that girl in Qinrong."

As he spoke, a trace of ruthlessness flashed on his face, "If you want me to know who broke my big thing, I won't be able to spare him!" If my Xu family is buried because of this incident, I will definitely take him to the funeral with me! ”

Speaking of this, Old Lady Xu glanced at Mo Daochang again:

"Mo Lao Dao, I know that you are very optimistic about that black girl, but if it is really her doing, I can't take care of you, don't blame me when the time comes."

"If the murderer was really her, I would naturally not come forward to protect her."

Mo Daochang shook his head, "But Old Man Xu, do you really think that she can easily kill your unsuccessful grandson?" ”

Old lady Xu pondered for a moment, "My grandson, although the mud can't support the wall, but I have a good idea of how many magic weapons I gave him to protect himself, and the idle people may not be able to take his life easily." No matter how talented that girl is, she has only been in the Xuanmen for a year...... It's hard to say. It's just that who else but her? ”

"Actually, I have an idea, but maybe I'm overthinking."

Mo Daochang groaned:

"You just think about someone who has a grudge with your grandson to seek revenge, why don't you change your thinking, maybe there is an enemy of the Xu family, I don't know where I learned about your plan over the years, and deliberately want to destroy your Xu family?"
