Yan Xiaotian took a while to calm his state of mind, and then said: "I had the same feeling before you came here, no matter what you did, there seemed to be someone following in the shadows behind you, and I also felt as if someone was secretly staring at me. It's exactly the same as what Shi Niang described at the beginning. ”

I scratched my scalp and asked him, "When did you start feeling this way?" ”

Yan Xiaotian: "It happened the day before I found out that Shi Niang had committed suicide, when Master and I found Shi Niang's body, Shi Niang happened to be dead for a whole day. ”

Liang Houzai: "In other words, on the day your master passed away, you felt this way." In this way, Yan Xiaotian, let's assume now that your sister did commit suicide, so what was her motive for committing suicide? Is it really because of the gossip of the elders? ”

"It's not gossip," Yan Xiaotian shook his head: "It's an attack." The day after I confronted Shi Niang, those elders suddenly came to the main hall and asked me what the relationship between Shi Niang was. They couldn't shake me, so they even went to the Hundred Refining Hall every day to insult my master, and it was also in order to protect the senior sister, so I met the requirements of the Elders' Council and agreed to them to buy more shares, at first they bought sixty percent, and later Elder Wei resold one percent of them to me. ”

Liang Houzai nodded: "So, on the surface, your senior mother was forced to death by the Elders." How did she die? ”

The questions asked by Liang Houzai poked Yan Xiaotian's sore spot every time, but these questions may indeed be the key to the matter.

Yan Xiaotian was silent for a while before responding: "Dagger." Shi Niang committed suicide with a dagger. ”

Liu Shangang: "Where is the fatal injury?" ”

Yan Xiaotian squeezed out two words from between his teeth: "Throat." ”

Seeing that he couldn't hold it anymore, I waved my hand at Liang Houzai and Liu Shangang, signaling them to stop asking.

Yan Xiaotian sat behind the desk, put his head against his forehead, and fell into a long silence.

I'm not good at persuading people, and I don't know what to say at this time, looking at Yan Xiaotian from afar, I suddenly have a sense of powerlessness, and when Li Liang and Liang Houzai parted, such a sense of powerlessness also appeared.

Liang Houzai patted me on the shoulder, I turned to him, and he leaned towards me and whispered, "Brother Dao, do you remember how Zhao Dekai was crazy?" ”

I thought about it for a moment and said, "I don't know how he went crazy, but when someone rescued him from the secret passage and I chased him out, he was already crazy. ”

Liang Houzai: "You say, who is the person who rescued him and made him crazy?" ”

I shook my head: "I didn't see that person, did you think of something?" ”

Liang Houzai: "Actually, I've always wondered, why did Zhao Dekai suddenly go crazy?" ”

I said: "Zhao Dekai lost his heart because he was hooked by someone. ”

Liang Houzai lowered his voice: "Have you noticed that when we first met Yan Xiaotian at the gate of the main hall, his soul was also a little weak. ”

I immediately understood what Liang Houzai meant: "You mean ......"

Liang Houzai nodded: "I think the reason why Yan Xiaotian's sister's personality has changed suddenly may be because she fell for someone else's technique." The person who made Zhao Dekai lose his heart and the person who manipulated Yan Xiaotian's mother are likely to be the same. And now he is eyeing Yan Xiaotian again. And I think that this person is still hidden in the Baiwu Mountain. ”

I raised my eyebrows: "The gate of Baiwu Mountain is guarded by a fierce god, and outsiders really can't enter." ”

At this time, Yan Xiaotian suddenly raised his head and whispered to me and Liang Houzai: "Find him!" ”

"If we move too much, it's easy to startle the snake." Liang Houzai said to Yan Xiaotian: "Besides, many things are just my speculation, and they may not be accurate. ”

I also said to Yan Xiaotian: "Yan Xiaotian, you calm down first, don't use your strength in the wrong place." What we have to do now is to determine whether your master committed suicide or not. ”

Yan Xiaotian: "It's definitely not suicide, it's definitely not!" ”

Liu Shangang: "If you want to verify whether your master committed suicide, in fact, the best way is to conduct an autopsy, but the premise is that the body has not been cremated." ”

Yan Xiaotian immediately said: "There is no cremation, and the master has not been buried yet." Until the murderer is found, Shi Niang will not be blind, and I will never agree to go into the ground like this. ”

"It seems that you haven't completely lost your mind," Liu Shangang said, standing up, "Take me to see the corpse." ”

Yan Xiaotian quickly bypassed the table and walked straight towards the hall gate, he walked in a hurry, and the speed was very fast, and a few of us immediately followed.

Out of the main hall, Yan Xiaotian took us out of Baiwu Mountain as quickly as possible, passed through the canyon outside the mountain, and took us straight to the nearest supply point in Lishanmen, where he said was his master's mourning hall.

On the way, I asked Yan Xiaotian: "Does the old master know about your master's affairs?" ”

Yan Xiaotian sighed: "I know, but the master can't help now." ”

I said, "Isn't there a lot of old master under his hands...... Eyeliner? Why can't it help? ”

Yan Xiaotian: "Master failed to break through the level a year ago, losing most of his cultivation, and the spirits and ghosts that originally worked for him have all been out of his control. Alas, if the master survives, he is already a creation, and I really can't bear to let him work for me anymore. ”

The old master failed to break through, Mrs. Cao passed away, and Yan Xiaotian's sister committed suicide, why did all the bad things rush together?

I have a vague bad feeling that these things happened at the same time period, maybe not as simple as a coincidence.

After that, I asked him again if the second master and Wang Lei were still in Baiwu Mountain, but Yan Xiaotian didn't know that the second master had been here.

When we entered the supply point, the first people who appeared in front of us were the second master and Wang Lei.

The second master was sitting in front of a silver-white iron coffin talking to Wang Lei, and when he saw us coming in, he waved his hand at me: "Why did you come, I waited for you for a whole month." ”

I said, "I've been staying at Liangzi's side, second master, why haven't you left?" ”

The second master handed me a half-foot-long dagger, and said: "Listen to the old master, Ye Fanxin died very strangely, Wang Lei and I have been investigating here for a month, and finally found out a little way, you take a good look at that dagger." ”

It was only when I heard him say this that I remembered that Yan Xiaotian's sister was called Ye Fanxin.

I looked at the dagger, it was jet black, the blade was very sharp, and there were some lotus petal-like patterns carved on the handle, but there was nothing special about it.

At this time, Yan Xiaotian walked over and arched his hand towards the second master: "Second master." ”

While speaking, Yan Xiaotian looked at Wang Lei again, this should be the first time he met Wang Lei, and he didn't know how to greet him for a while, so the second master introduced him: "This is Wang Lei, the long-term worker of our old family, he is a Shura." ”

If it was in the past, Yan Xiaotian would definitely greet Wang Lei warmly, but he really didn't have that mood now, he just nodded at Wang Lei.

I asked the second master, "Is there anything wrong with this dagger?" ”

The second master said: "A few months ago, the dagger was coated with poison, I licked it just now, and the poison at that time should have been relatively strong. However, by the time the old master found it, the poison had already been cleaned up. This is the dagger that Ye Fanxin used when he committed suicide. ”

I don't know what kind of method the second master used to reach these conclusions, but his words have always been more credible.

Yan Xiaotian stared at the dagger in my hand, his eyes became redder and redder, as if he was about to get angry, Liang Houzai patted him on the shoulder, and said in the back: "Yan Xiaotian, you have to calm down, if even you are messed up, that is the real trouble." ”

Yan Xiaotian took a deep breath and nodded.

The second master took the dagger from my hand, and I asked him, "Is there an autopsy?" ”

Second Master: "I have examined, the fatal wound is in the throat, the knife is very deep, the major artery in the neck is completely severed, and the cause of death is suffocation and excessive blood loss." But in Ye Fanxin's body, I didn't find any toxins. ”

Liu Shangang wondered: "Isn't the dagger coated with poison, why is there no toxin in the body?" ”

The second master said: "There is no conclusion yet. Now we speculate that the toxin may have been discharged along with the blood when Ye Fan's heart was bleeding. There is also a possibility that after this toxin enters the body, it will be completely metabolized in a very short time, and the time required for its metabolism is shorter than the time from Ye Fanxin's self-murder to death. ”

Yan Xiaotian finally couldn't bear it anymore, and said sullenly: "Master, she will never commit suicide. ”

The second master sighed and said to him, "There is no doubt that she did cut her throat with a dagger. But at that time, there were indeed people who wanted her to die, and self-killing was not necessarily Ye Fanxin's original intention. ”

I looked at the second master, and the second master also turned his gaze to me: "If the poison on the dagger was painted by Ye Fanxin herself, then the poison is enough to kill her, she only needs to cut a little skin on her hand, why cut her throat?" She chose to end her life by killing herself, which means that she did not know that the dagger was poisoned in advance. So I speculate that the person who poisoned him had long known that Ye Fanxin wanted to die, and he also knew that Ye Fanxin would use this dagger, and he was afraid that this dagger alone would not kill Ye Fanxin's life, so he smeared poison on it. ”

After speaking, the second master asked Yan Xiaotian again: "Ye Fanxin's body is placed here, few people should know about it, right?" I think this supply point should have been abandoned for a long time, and no one usually comes, and the old master took me to her tomb, since the tomb has been erected, do you want to tell others that Ye Fanxin has been buried in the ground? ”

Yan Xiaotian didn't respond for a long time, and he didn't nod until Liang Houzai patted him.

The second master frowned, and asked him again: "Ye Fanxin's body is placed here, who knows about it?" ”

Yan Xiaotian responded after a long time: "Actually, I didn't deliberately hide this matter, the people of the Elder Council, as well as a few disciples in Baiwu Mountain, all know about it. ”

"Well, that will make sense," Second Master Qi nodded, and said to us: "Not long after Ye Fanxin's body was put here, someone came here, and we found that there was a small wound in the place of her heart, which should have been pierced with a long steel needle, and the wound went straight to the heart. By the time the needle was inserted, her body had not yet been completely frozen, so much so that when the flesh was cold and contracted, the pinhole was enlarged, and there were still traces of cracking around the edges. But I don't understand a little, it is said that Ye Fanxin left so much blood, and the time of death was more than a whole day, why did the other party come over to make up for it. ”

When the second master said this, Yan Xiaotian's body was already trembling, I already knew that he had a very special affection for Ye Fanxin, and now that he is dead, not to mention, the corpse has not been spared. If it had been me, I'd probably be going crazy by now.
