After the fire was lit, Xu Zun lit a torch, took the lead into the ruins, and began to survey the scene.

The temple was already dilapidated, and most of the rooms had already collapsed, and it seemed that there was no need for fire at all.

Xu Zun saw that even a big tree in the yard was burned to charcoal.

There are all tiled houses here, and if the fire can burn so big, it must be arson!

He took a closer look and saw that there was only one house to live in before the fire, so he drilled directly into the house through the charred doorway.

The house was also burned sufficiently, with little left except for a few piles of ash and debris.

Xu Zun smelled a strong smell of tar, which was even more certain that it was man-made.

"It's so dirty," Huo Anu stood at the door, reluctant to come in, "my newly bought clothes are dirty and can't be washed off!" ”

"Okay, then don't come in," Xu Zun instructed, "Hold the wind outside, and let me know if the catchers come." ”

"Good!" Huo Anu couldn't ask for it.

Xu Zun looked through the wreckage with the branches prepared in advance, and found that the charred ones should be some daily necessities.

The room is not large, almost at a glance.

Xu Zun quickly noticed that there was an extremely narrow doorway in the deepest part of the room, leading to another room inside.

And strangely, there was a pile of ashes in front of the doorway, as if something had been destroyed by fire there.

At first, he thought that there was a door in the doorway, and the ashes were left behind by the door, but after looking at the shape repeatedly, it felt more like a cabinet or other furniture.

Odd!

If this is a doorway, then what is the purpose of blocking it with a cabinet before?

Thinking of this, Xu Zun walked quickly into the doorway, and as soon as the firelight shone, his face suddenly tightened.

But the walls were empty, and the whole room was charred black, but there was no charred ash on the ground.

Why?

There's nothing in this house, so why use fire to burn it?

It was an unusually small, dark hut with an outstretched arm touching the roof, and there were no windows around it, making it look more like a cave.

It's unbelievable, what does the murderer want to do?

Xu Zun walked around the house several times, thinking that there would be a secret passage mechanism or something, but after looking for a long time, he didn't find anything.

No, no......

Xu Zun pondered, the murderer took great pains to burn down the Taoist temple, and he must have wanted to cover up something!

Well......

Ay?

Suddenly, Xu Zun's mind moved.

Ignoring the charred ashes, he wiped the walls with his sleeve.

Under this rub, I saw something on the wall, and it was actually a - word!

No, not one word, but many!

Moreover, there are messy scratches on the words.

Oh......

There are words on the walls!

Did the murderer set the fire to cover up the handwriting?

"Hey, Xu Xiaoparalyz, come out quickly!" Who knows, at this critical moment, there was a sudden call from Huo Anu outside, "They are coming!" ”

Alas!

What a time!

In desperation, Xu Zun could only exit the room and extinguish the torch.

Looking into the darkness of the night, you can see a faint firelight moving in the distance.

Seeing this, the two immediately withdrew from the Taoist temple and found a place that was more conducive to observation and concealment.

After a while, I saw Zhao Yu leading a few catchers to the front.

"It's over, it's over, it's over......" As soon as he saw the tragic situation of the Taoist temple, Zhao Yu took the lead in shouting several "It's over"!

"What's going on?" The catchers were also shocked and disappointed, "Why are you still burned by the fire?" ”

However, after some discussion, Zhao Yu was still experienced, and immediately said the same thing as Xu Zun:

"It is precisely because of the fire that it is even more confirmed, and the old way in the concept of immortality is the one lying in the coffin! Come on, brothers," he ordered, "let's go in and look for it, and see if we can find anything?" What if there are other corpses? ”

The catchers didn't say much, immediately sorted out the torches, and entered the Taoist temple in turn to search.

After searching around, like Xu Zun, they also unanimously decided that only that small house could be inhabited, so they began to focus on the search......

"Hey," Huo Anu stabbed Xu Zun and whispered, "Isn't this quite normal?" Where are the spies? ”

Xu Zun ignored her, his eyes fixed on the hut, wondering if the catchers could spot the words on the walls?

After waiting for about a minute or two, there was a cry of excitement in the hut.

Oh?

Xu Zun's mind moved, it seemed that they must have discovered words.

However, something unexpected happened to Xu Zun, only to hear a famous catcher in the house shouting: "Zhao Zhutou, come and see, this should be a piece of jade!? ”

What!?

Hearing this, Xu Zun took the lead in leaning out, feeling incredible.

"Say what? With such a big fire, the jade has already been burned, right? Zhao Yu's voice came from inside the house, "Let me see!" ”

While talking, Zhao Yu walked out of the house with a thing, and there was a catcher next to him who lit a torch.

Zhao Yu rubbed the things in his hand vigorously, and said in surprise: "Niang Niangxiong, is it really evil?" What a quick jade! ”

"Be careful, be careful," reminded the torch-wielding catcher, "this jade has been burned, is it...... It's a jade pendant, right? ”

Listening to the other party's discussion, Xu Zun felt his heart beat faster and his blood boiled.

He had obviously searched those ruins just now, if there was really a piece of jade pendant, how could he not find it?

Also, with such a big fire, can't this jade pendant really burn out?

He reviewed his chemistry knowledge and vaguely remembered that the melting point of jade was about 2,000 degrees.

However, he didn't know if the fire at the Taoist temple could reach more than 2,000 degrees.

"Xu Zun," this time, Huo Anu changed his name again and said to Xu Zun, "If there is no problem, let's go over and have a look, shall we?" It's all your men anyway, and that thing might be important! ”

Xu Zun immediately waved his hand, which meant that they had already lied, and now going out would not only be difficult to explain, but would make the traitor suspicious.

Next, the catchers talked about the jade pendant again, and Zhao Yu said that they didn't know it, and they had to find someone who knew how to show it tomorrow.

"Zhao Zhutou," one of them said quickly, "With this jade pendant, Ming'er will be able to deal with our county lieutenant, right?" I can get some sleep when I go back! ”

"yes, it's such a big place, what are you searching for?" The other said, "If our foolish county lieutenant is not happy, let him come and check on himself?" ”

After hearing the term "confused county lieutenant", Huo Anu couldn't help but snicker.

"No," Zhao Yu said solemnly, "Haven't you noticed that our confused county lieutenant seems to have become a little smarter recently?"

"Besides, let's not all do it for him, this case is so serious, don't be sloppy, let's search me inside and out again! Be careful! ”

The catchers had no choice but to disperse again and conduct a second search of the Immortal Concept.

Seeing Zhao Yu enter the house, the two little catchers outside quickly started talking again.

This one said, "Hmph, you're getting smarter!" Even our foolish adult, we can't solve such a big case if we find a hundred clues! ”

"Yes," the other chimed in, "the iron coffin has reappeared, I think he has done it too......"
