In the dark alley, the fire was blazing.

There were a large number of officials outside to prevent idle people from approaching.

"This!" Zhu Zhutou squatted on the ground and pointed to the location of the corner of the wall, "It looks like some kind of scratch or something, before we only cared about carrying away the corpse and searching for the relics of the deceased around, and we didn't notice the scratches on the corner of the wall at all." ”

This alley is the only way to go to the inn, and it was walked before Baili Chang'an, and it was ......

"Master, it seems that someone was squatting there at that time." Zi Yan was in a trance, as if she had seen a figure in the corner, but she was not sure if it was the deceased.

At that time, the alley was very dark, only the light of the street outside, which inevitably caused an accident, and he did not linger in the dark place, so he hurried away, but did not pay much attention to the black shadow.

"Yes!" Zilan also nodded.

Baili Changan frowned, bent down to look at the scratch, "What is this?" ”

"Like a mark?" Zhu Zhutou scratched his head, "It's like a word, written like a dog." ”

As soon as he finished saying this, Zhu Zhutou hurriedly lowered his eyes.

"The eldest princess forgives her sins, and she is ...... lowly"

Baili Chang'an waved his hand, motioning for him to flash aside, squatting in front of him, looking at the mark that this word did not look like a word, "Could this be a special mark, only people who do this line of work...... to understand? ”

Hearing this, Li Jin immediately patted Zhu Zhutou's shoulder, "Go find a few herb pickers and see if anyone can understand what this means?" ”

"Okay!" Zhu Zhutou ran away.

After thinking about it, Li Jin said again, "Ah Hao, you quickly draw this mark, remember it, and don't make a mistake." ”

"Yes!" Lai Hao bowed.

Since he is a master, he carries paper and charcoal with him.

Hearing this, Baili Chang'an let go of the way and walked slowly in this alley.

Li Jin was by his side, and Zi Yan and Zi Lan followed behind.

"It's just a few feet alley, and someone should be able to see it when you enter and exit." Baili Changan frowned, "Have you asked?" No one saw it. ”

Li Jin nodded, "The only thing I've ever seen is that ...... The person who testifies against you. ”

"Give him twenty boards." She was not happy, "Hit hard, if it is light...... You make it up. ”

Dare to accuse her of killing, these twenty boards are all light.

"Yes!" Li Jin nodded curtly, turned his head and glanced at the servant, "Twenty boards, hit hard!" ”

The official saluted, turned and left.

"Where will you go if you kill someone?" Baili Chang'an walked out of the alley, looked at the long street and was stunned, "What is the place in front?" What's the place in the back? ”

Li Jin hurriedly explained, "The front is the inn where you stayed before, and the back is ...... It's a dyeing shop, and it's not the main street, it's a home that doesn't matter. ”

Indeed, in front is the inn, and the inn is the main street facing the street.

"I didn't see anyone coming in behind me." Baili Chang'an carefully recalled, "If you live in a guest house, someone should see it, and when you go out on this street, you will also be seen." ”

Thinking of this, Baili Chang'an walked slowly towards the end of the street.

"The accident happened at night, because of the matter in Guangling Mansion, the city gate was heavily guarded, and it was absolutely impossible to let people out at night, so this person should still be in the city at that time." Li Jin followed, "Before dawn and before the city gate was opened, someone found the corpse in the alley, and the minister ordered at that time to strengthen the security at the city gate." ”

What he didn't dare to say was that because Lai Hao arrested the eldest princess and put her in prison, he simply closed the city gate, so as not to leak the news, and then it would be even more disaster-like.

"What do you mean, he can't get out?" Baili Changan glanced back at him.

Li Jin thought for a while, "I probably didn't get out." ”

Don't you dare to say it too hard, lest you lose half your life when you slap your face......

"It's all searched in the inn." Li Jin continued, "I haven't found any suspicious people for the time being, and I've asked from door to door, and there is no news of strangers for the time being." ”

Either the man has a foothold in the city, or he is hiding in disguise.

"It's a small dyeing shop, and there are not many people. The shopkeeper of this small dyeing workshop left Nanlin Mansion some time ago, saying that he had gone to the south to learn a new dyeing craft, and he would not come back for a while. Li Jin introduced, "Our people have searched during the day and found nothing abnormal. ”

The door was closed and locked.

"Zilan!"

As soon as Baili Chang'an spoke, Zilan pulled out the hairpin and stepped forward, and opened the lock with three times and five divided by two.

Li Jin: "......"

"Master!" Zilan opened the door.

Inside the small dye shop, it was pitch black.

The officials quickly surrounded the small dyeing shop to ensure safety.

Li Jin followed Baili Chang'an in, looked at the cloth hanging on the shelf, and subconsciously swallowed his saliva, it was okay to look at it during the day, but when the wind blew at night, there was an inexplicable weird and gloomy feeling.

In the small dyeing workshop, there is no one, only the wind blows the cloth and flies wantonly, from time to time there is a hula sound, and occasionally there are night birds flying in fright, and there is nowhere to stay.

Suddenly, there was a "whoosh" sound.

Zi Lan suddenly took out her sword, and a cold light appeared.

In an instant, the cold arrow was broken to the ground, and when she looked up again, Zilan had already chased after her.

Zi Yan immediately took out her sword and stood alone in front of Baili Chang'an, her sharp eyes quickly swept around her.

"Someone, someone! There are assassins! Li Jin shouted.

The official at the gate came in at once, and the whole courtyard was lit up by the light of the fire.

The bright light stabbed Baili Chang'an half-narrowed his eyes, stared directly at the person who was stopped by Zi Lan on the roof, and said that it was too late and that it was fast, Zi Lan cut off the opponent's arm with a sword and kicked the person down directly.

The roof tiles were crushed, and the moment the man hit the ground, a mouthful of blood came out of his lips, covering his bleeding severed arm, and he let out a painful wail.

"Grab it!" Li Jin drank vigorously.

The official immediately stepped forward and picked him up.

However, the next moment, Baili Chang'an's eyes were steep, and he squatted down abruptly and tore open the placket of the man in black.

In an instant, the fruit dew festered in a large area under the firelight, which made Zi Yan exclaim, and hurriedly dragged the stunned Baili Chang'an away from a distance, "Master, be careful!" ”

Baili Chang'an's hand trembled involuntarily, and a pair of beautiful eyes instantly turned cold to freezing.

"This is ......" Li Jin rolled in his throat, his face turned pale.

All around, there was a dead silence.

But the man in black, after wailing, let out a feeble laugh, "You guys...... Don't even think about running for any of you! No one can run! ”

Zilan: "Master? ”

Zi Yan: "Master? ”

"Pass my order, let the official at the door go to the doctor and the servant, and the others ...... Close the door of the dyeing workshop, and no one is allowed to step out of the door! Baili Chang'an gritted his silver teeth and gurgled, "Those who violate the order will be killed!" ”

Li Jin was stunned suddenly, but he really didn't expect that Baili Chang'an would actually ......

"Eldest princess?" Li Jin's heart trembled slightly.

"Tie him up!" Baili Chang'an took two steps back, his eyes fierce as a blade, "Do it immediately, immediately!" ”

"Yes!"
