Mu Changfeng grew up listening to his mother Claire tell the story of this ring. So he cried and asked his father this and that, but the latter was so annoyed by him that he couldn't get the ring in hand, and severely criticized him for his vexatious trouble, so that he quickly broke off this idea. I didn't expect Xiao Luo to give it to himself today......

"Ah...... This is too precious, I don't ......" Before the words fell, Xiao Luo grabbed his hand domineeringly, and with a gentle push, the ring was put on Mu Changfeng's left index finger.

"Shhh I saw that the iron-black ring gradually faded, and there seemed to be a glimmer of crystal light flowing through it, and then disappeared. The heat gradually faded, he raised his hand, put his hand in the sun and took a closer look, the Xuan ring seemed to grow with the meat, and he couldn't take it off.

"Amu, you deserve it." Xiao Luo looked at him seriously, and a pair of black eyes tightly grasped Mu Changfeng's soul, making him feel suffocated. He saw something in those eyes that was difficult to comprehend because of his shallow cultivation. They were brighter than the palace illuminated by the accumulation of thousands of night pearls, bewitching him to abandon his doubts and panic and enter unexplored territory; It seemed so far away, as if he had come nearer and could not reach it.

"Thank you." Mu Changfeng whispered softly, and reached out to wrap his hand around Xiao Luo's neck. The latter's body stiffened: the soft touch as light as a feather just now, strange and familiar, made him unable to tell for a moment whether he was in a dream or reality. Memories accompanied by emotions that were released at night were overwhelming, leaving him at a loss.

"Xiao Luo? Xiao Luo? The summoned man suddenly came back to his senses, only to find that he was still in the center of the main hall. A trace of doubt flashed in the flawless blue eyes like a stream, the eyelashes that were a little longer than a girl blinked slightly, and the extremely innocent state made Xiao Luo's heart feel like being gnawed by thousands of ants, and the more he scratched it, the more he scratched it. He took a deep breath, saluted Mousse and Claire, and slowly stepped back, not daring to look at the perpetrator again.

……

Shenzhou Continent, Drunken Flower Building.

"Master, the matter you asked the apprentice to investigate has been settled." Huohua bowed.

"Oh? What do you think? ”

Senior Brother Huohua smiled:

"Zuo Sheng, whether it is his family background or living habits, is extremely simple. It was easy to find out. He was the only son in the family, and his father died young, and his mother became stupid because of it. He is a dutiful son, and sixty percent of the income he earns as an official is used to buy clothes and supplies for his mother, and the other thirty percent is donated to the victims, leaving only the remaining one percent for himself. As for the secret guard you mentioned, he does have it, and he was sent by the emperor to protect him. He doesn't know martial arts, and he can't perceive others through internal force, maybe even he is kept in the dark about this. ”

Yun Hanying nodded and said, "Well, I see." ”

"One more thing...... Huohua paused, and continued:

"Where he was before the age of eighteen, what he did, tried to obtain information through various methods, but to no avail. But this is not surprising, after all, he was born poor, and before the age of eighteen, he was probably helping his mother farm in a small village in the middle of nowhere. Naturally, our intelligence network can't collect anything. ”

"Hmm." Yun Hanying asked, "In the past few days, how has Wu'er practiced martial arts?" You should have healed from your last injury, right? ”

"Well, he used the best creative medicine, coupled with his strong self-healing ability, he was fine in a few days. He works hard, and his strength is almost the best among this batch of killers. ”

Yun Hanying hooked his lips and sighed softly:

"It's really exactly the same as Jiu'er back then...... From the first time she saw her in swaddling clothes, she captured the vicissitudes and precipitation beyond her age revealed in those beautiful eyes. So that she couldn't read it when she was twenty-seven or eighteen. That kind of maturity seems to force that taciturn child to grow into an adult overnight. She is also herself. I still remember one summer afternoon, Jiu'er found himself after practicing martial arts, insisted on being a poisoner, and even threatened with a knife. She was only six years old at the time, and her body was not fully developed enough to resist the toxin. She agreed, but she couldn't figure out why Jiu'er was so eager to become stronger until Xiao Mu appeared.

"Haha, my junior sister was definitely a demon king when she was a child, and whoever saw her had to turn around and leave." Huohua sneered and continued:

However, I really didn't expect that when she went to Ice City, her whole temperament changed! The last time I met her with that Shang Jin, I smiled so much...... Tsk, I don't even dare to admit it! ”

"Well, it's the right line."

"Master?!" Huohua's eyes widened,

"When did you become a matchmaker? Do you want to open a branch in the future of Zuihualou, specifically to help people pull Lang with ......"

"It's almost there, if you don't say a few words, if you have hundreds of apprentices for the teacher, you will be the poorest."

"Hey, Master, you see that the apprentice is not too young, when will you give me a staff officer?"

"Save it, do you still need to be a teacher? You think I don't know about yesterday? ”

"Whew! Master, don't get started, I was wrong, can't I go to practice martial arts......" Huohua hugged his head and fled from the house in a panic, muttering in his mouth:

"Impossible, I changed my clothes, put on a mask, and chose a path, how could I be discovered? Could it be Ye Shi's stinky girl's complaint? ”

……

Corner of the South Alley Entrance.

Zuo Sheng wore gloves and picked up a piece of moldy black stuff without changing his face, and looked at it carefully under the sun, as if he was looking at some treasure.

"Cough cough, cough ......" Ye Shiqiang endured the sour water that surged into his throat for the third time, covered his nose, and thought while coughing: Zuo Sheng is really terrifying, looking at a corpse with a focused face, I don't know, I thought it was a lover. How did he manage to maintain a clear mind in such a foul-smelling environment......

After a while, Zuo Sheng took off his gloves and analyzed them like a cannon that popped out of his mouth:

"The deceased's daughter, judging by the degree of corpse spots and decomposition, died in three to five days. Judging from the combination of cutting edge marks, depth and strength, the murderer was a male, and the murder weapon was a heavy iron weapon about 9-12 inches long, which had been used many times, and the knife edge was uneven, but it was still sharp. The body pieces are very uneven in shape and size, but the knife is skillful and crisp, so the murderer must have done the work related to cutting. Judging from the several slash marks on the corpse parts, the mental state of the criminal at that time was not very stable, perhaps caused by the stimulation of long-term mental depression and then release; It may also be that the pleasure brought to him by the dismantling of the corpse of the moon branch was intense, reaching a state of extreme excitement. It follows that his choice of targets is unlikely to be random, and is most likely a relative, friend, or key person who caused him to be depressed or explode. ”

Zuo Sheng paused and continued to analyze: "The body parts here are the limbs of the deceased, and the whereabouts of the rest are unknown. I just observed that there was a large market around the dumping site, and there were a lot of people coming and going every day, and the murderer was moving with so many corpses that smelled of blood, which was very eye-catching, so he had to choose to act at noon or late at night. However, what day was the corpse thrown? ”

Ye Shi pondered for a while, and suddenly said: "This alley is from the south of the city to the north of the city Baifang Pavilion, although it is relatively remote, but it has just become a path chosen by many officials to hide people's eyes. The body could not have been found three or five days after it had been here. Zuo Sheng raised his eyebrows, noncommittal to her statement. Guess you're going to be. Ye Shi was worried, hooked his lips and said:

"Besides, Baifang Pavilion chose a new Oiran a few days ago, my senior brother Huohua just went there yesterday at noon, and he went to South Lane to avoid Master."

Zuo Sheng smiled when he heard this:

"I didn't expect that it would be a little useful to take you to the case." Ye Shi heard Zuo Sheng praise himself for the first time, and his heart blossomed, but he replied casually:

"Hmph, it's very useful."

"Okay, then I'll ask next, and you can analyze it." Zuo Sheng snapped his fingers, "It can be determined that the prisoner threw the body yesterday night." After killing the deceased, it took another three to five days before he chose to throw the body, what was the reason? ”

Ye Shi frowned and pondered for a while, and put forward a conjecture:

"I've heard that some murderers have perverted feelings about their chosen target, the deceased. Didn't he do that...... Out of attachment? ”

Zuo Sheng listened to Ye Shi's analysis, snapped his fingers, and said, "There is a possibility." However, we can infer from this that he should have a place in the city where he could hide his body, and the place should not be too close to the crowd, otherwise there would be a lot of commotion; It will not be too far away from South Lane, otherwise it is not conducive to throwing corpses. As for the remaining corpses, there are no more than three places: to be discarded in the suburbs, to be disposed of, or ...... It was also treasured by the murderer. Personally, I prefer the last one, because the part of the body he discarded was the torso, which is unlikely to have strong emotional significance compared to the face, chest, etc. ”

"So what do we do next?" Ye Shi listened to him analyze a bunch of things, but he still didn't have a clue.

"Let's take a look around here to confirm our inference; Let's take a look at the reports of missing persons in the city these days, and rule them out one by one. Zuo Sheng sorted out the small cloth bag he carried with him and said:

"Xiao Zhang, find three more people to deal with this."

"Yes, sir. Alas, you three, come here! ”

"Jingle Bell"

Hearing this, Zuo Sheng turned around and saw a piece of jewelry that had been crushed under the corpse and fell due to moving, and frowned: Such a big clue, I didn't find it? No way, he's searched it all before...... This was the first time that Zuo Sheng had a trace of uncertainty in his observation ability.

"Huh...... This is... Jasper hairpin? Ye Shi said in surprise.

"You know?" Zuo Sheng raised his eyebrows in surprise.

Ye Shi heard the doubts in his words, raised his eyebrows, and said dissatisfiedly:

"Hey, what, Aunt Ben...... Mother is also a woman, right? This is the jewelry of Xuanyun Pavilion, you can't be wrong. Unbelief? Ye Shi clasped his hands to his chest, raised his head and said:

"If you don't believe it, look at the back of it, is there a very small auspicious cloud pattern? It comes from the hand of Xuanyun Pavilion's special carving master, and other families can't imitate it. ”
