With a buzz, Zhong Yan's brain went blank for a moment.

Shen Lanxin is dead!

The Zhuji family, the direct bloodline, the core disciple, the character who was willing to use the spiritual vein to marry on his body, is now dead in his own mansion.

It's too big!

Zhong Yan took a deep breath, regained his ability to think, and immediately took out three 'Gathering Talismans' to imprint the scene in the room.

Then he summoned Yu Qingyao and asked him to secretly seal the entire mansion.

The maid Xiao Taoqiao's face turned pale, kneeling in front of Shen Lanxin's corpse, helpless, the six gods had no master, and turned around and cried out:

"Uncle, Master Zhong, what should I do? How could Miss be killed? ”

During her accompanying service, the young lady died, and she still had no way to live.

Wiping away her tears, she got up and stared at Zhong Yan: "Miss died here, you are fully responsible!" Maybe it's someone in your house who did the murder! ”

"Idiot! Do you want to be silenced? ”

Zhong Yan stared at her coldly, she was already irritable and annoyed in her heart, and she wanted to slap her to death with one palm.

The maid Xiao Tao's face tightened, and her lips moved and she didn't dare to speak again.

"You brand yourself at the scene of the crime!"

With that, Zhong Yan began to look around.

The room was a little messy.

Two maids lay on the edge of the large bathtub, lifeless, and beside them were two wooden buckets of hot water, and the water in them was still steaming.

The two bamboo baskets containing flower petals were overturned, the petals were scattered all over the ground, and there were still a little water stains on the wooden floor, and wet footprints, which could be seen to belong to Shen Lanxin.

And Shen Lanxin was lying on her side more than two meters away from the bath bucket, her snow-white and smooth body was wet, and there were no other scars except for the blood hole in the eyebrows.

In front of the tub was a table where clothes were kept, shattered into wooden blocks, and there were several sword marks on the wall after the attack......

Obviously, Shen Lanxin discovered the abnormality before being killed, and came out of the bathtub to resist, but after a not fierce fight, he was killed in an instant by the murderer who came prepared.

Zhong Yan stepped forward and squatted down, pressed everywhere on the corpse, there was still residual warmth, and he had just died.

"When did you leave?"

The maid Xiao Tao hurriedly said: "When I was approaching, I showed my body when I went to look for you, and I came back to walk with you, about a stick of incense before and after, maybe a little more." ”

"See if there's anything missing."

"Oh!"

Zhong Yan carefully inspected the bodies of the two maids again, and there were no external injuries, it should have been cut off with Yuan Li.

"Master Zhong, my lady's storage bag is missing! I don't know much about what's in this room. ”

Zhong Yan turned his head and asked, "All the dowries have been brought this time?" ”

The maid Xiao Tao hesitated.

Zhong Yan stared at her and said coldly, "Say!" If you don't find the murderer, do you think you can live? ”

Xiao Tao's body trembled, thinking that the young lady was already dead, she gritted her teeth and said, "In addition to the spirit vein, all the dowries worth 66,000 lower grade spirit stones have been brought!" ”

"But the things are placed in Liu Keqing's place, the magic weapons taken out from the hall are on me, and the lady's storage bag is her personal belongings, but ......"

Zhong Yan frowned: "But what? Honestly say it all! ”

Xiao Tao: "Miss also has a lot of resources in her storage bag, and she has saved her own dowry over the years, and she has brought all her family resources with her, because, because we originally planned to stay in Qingyang this time." ”

Zhong Yanhu asked suspiciously: "Stay in Qingyang?" ”

Xiao Tao nodded and continued: "Yes, Miss is worried that you may refuse to marry, so she begged the ancestor and asked for permission, and she can marry Qingyang and stay in the Zhong Mansion."

In this way, with such a heavy dowry, and you don't have to go to Changning, you have no reason to refuse this marriage.

However, before entering the city, the young lady received a summons from the ancestor again, and she was not allowed to stay in Qingyang, so you could only go to Changning......"

As she spoke, Xiao Tao glanced at Zhong Yan carefully.

Zhong Yan exhaled and asked, "So, the spiritual vein is fake?" ”

Xiao Tao shook her head and said, "The slave doesn't know. ”

After a pause, she added: "Miss said that she could ask the ancestor to provide spiritual veins. ”

Zhong Yan's eyes flickered, his brain quickly turned and thought about it, condensed the isolation shield, and took out a few transmission notes to quickly arrange.

"How is your young lady's combat power?"

"Although Miss only has the sixth layer of qi refining, it is impossible to be killed immediately in the face of the seventh or eighth layer of qi refining, she has treasures and defensive talismans in her storage bag, and she will definitely be able to call for help in time, so the murderer has at least the realm above the peak of the eighth layer of qi refining!"

Zhong Yan glanced at her and said lightly: "She is taking a bath, and she doesn't notice that she is being attacked for a while, and the same level may also be able to do it." ”

In fact, he had already seen that although Shen Lanxin came out of the bathtub, he didn't have the slightest ability to fight back, and the 'fighting traces' presented were probably fake.

As for the murderer, it is not difficult to identify!

"From now on, do as I say, and I can still find a way to save your life."

Xiao Tao hesitated a little, nodded and said, "Yes, please ask the mage to command!" ”

Zhong Yan looked at her and asked, "Among the guards who came with you, is there a young lady from your family?" ”

Peach: "This ......"

Zhong Yan snorted, "Your young lady is notorious in Changning, will it be groundless?" She's a sex addict, right? How can it not be called a good companion? ”

"Now that the person is dead, there are so many monks in the mansion, and there are dozens of them in the late stage of qi refining, what do you think is the probability of being able to determine the murderer?"

"I signed a marriage letter, I can get the spiritual vein, there is no reason to kill her, and it is impossible for anyone in Zhongfu."

"And except for the people of the Zhong Mansion, in this huge mansion, only you and Escort Liu know the specific residence."

"If you want me to say, it is you who colluded with the guards, coveted your young lady's resources, and plotted to kill people!"

Xiao Tao's face changed greatly, and she trembled with anger: "You, you are talking nonsense!" ”

Zhong Yan continued: "There must be an explanation for this matter, if you can't find the murderer, someone has to come out to take the blame, if you don't want to, then find someone else."

Since Miss Lan Xin has the confidence to ask your ancestor to come to the spiritual vein, it shows that your ancestor attaches great importance to this granddaughter, and there is no clear statement, you all have to be buried together! ”

Xiao Tao's face changed again and again, and she said hurriedly: "There is a Keqing guard on the fifth level of Qi refining who has an improper relationship with the young lady, and now lives in the 'Hetai Inn' in the Southern District. ”

"The guards all live together?"

"No, he is with a maid and two maids, but he is the closest to the Zhong Mansion, so it is convenient to come over, and the other guards are separated, and the young lady asked them to inquire about the power of Qingyang City and all kinds of information."

Zhong Yan nodded and told the address of the small courtyard where Yu Qingyao originally lived, "The summons will ask him to come over and wait." ”

Xiao Tao hurriedly did so.

"Call Escort Liu again, and Changning has to say something about it."

Xiao Tao said: "There are no high-level messengers here, only Miss and Liu Guard can contact the family. ”

"Then I'll wait for him to come."

After Xiao Tao finished the interrogation, she put on clothes for Shen Lanxin's corpse, and wanted to put it in a storage bag temporarily, but was stopped by Zhong Yan.

Not much.

There were shouts outside.

Zhong Yan and Xiao Tao walked out, and Zhou Yunning, Chen Wanmiao, and Gu Baiyu stood at the door.

Chen Wanmiao smiled and asked, "Brother Dao came to us, what do you have to say?" ”

Zhong Yan, whose divine sense had surpassed the seventh layer of ordinary qi refining, was already able to transmit the sound, and explained to Chen Wanmiao and Gu Baiyu respectively.

"Chen Daoyou, no matter what method you use, if this matter is done well, you are a guest of Zhongfu, and you are fifty years old!"

Chen Wanmiao pursed her lips and groaned for a moment, and said decisively: "Okay! ”

Gu Baiyu on the side flashed his eyes and nodded, "Yes." ”

Zhong Yan took out two stacks of talismans and handed them to the two, "Yun Ning, take them out through the east side door!" ”

"Yes, husband!"

As soon as the three of them left, Yan Sandao ran over, gave Zhong Yan a look, and said:

"It's all arranged, the three portals are closed and not allowed to go out, and the other guards are stepping up the search in the house to see if they can find suspicious clues......

After speaking, Yan Sandao asked with a worried face: "Husband, this is ...... With so many monks gathered in the mansion, who was so bold as to commit murder at this time? ”

Zhong Yan's eyes narrowed slightly, and several figures quickly flashed in his mind, and the suspect target had basically been determined, but there were still some things that he couldn't figure out for the time being.
