Chapter 19: Traces of Life and Death

The room is frugal and tidy, with tables, chairs and pans.

The most striking thing is the big cauldron on the stove, which is still "clattering" and still "clattering" in it.

A fire is burning in the hearth, dishes and chopsticks are on the table, vegetables are piled up in the corner – all signs indicate that someone lived here and never stayed away.

"There's still something boiling in the pot, where did the people go?" Jiang Chen followed Chiyang to the stove, carefully uncovered the lid of the pot, and the pungent smell on his face suddenly made him frown, "It doesn't smell very good." ”

After the heat cleared, he could see what was boiling in the pot, a yellow and green paste, and vaguely saw the shape of vegetables and meat, but because it had been boiled for too long, it was completely messy, and it looked very unappetizing.

"That's what he gave Mrs. Jia to eat?"

Jiang Chen couldn't help but worry about Mrs. Jia.

She is also a pampered daughter, and she left everything to elope with her lover, but it was only a momentary mood, and how could she get used to this kind of hard life after calming down.

Chiyang was worried about another point, and after he looked around the room, he didn't hide his doubts on his face: "The dish is already cooked, why did he leave?" Could it be that he sensed our arrival in advance? ”

As the premier master of Western Liao City, Chiyang has enough confidence in his perception.

Except for a very small number of monks with special supernatural powers, it was difficult for anyone to detect Chiyang before he could perceive the other party.

Before he entered, he hadn't noticed any hidden aura in the house.

His gaze fell on the face of the girl in green clothes, revealing an inquiring look.

Even if his sixth-order "blood moving" perception is not as good as that mysterious chopsticks master, but the peach blossom assassin in front of him is the seventh-order "Xuangang" of the "Upper Three Realms", and it is impossible for the world's most counted characters to lose to the other party, right?

The girl in cuiyi stepped aside as early as when Jiang Chen uncovered the lid of the pot and covered her mouth and nose with her hands. Sensing Chiyang's gaze, she shook her head: "There was no one in the house. ”

"Maybe something happened to go out temporarily!" Jiang Chen put down the lid of the pot, "Let's look around and see if there are any other clues." ”

The three of them split up to find it.

Jiang Chen followed Chiyang and rummaged through the water tanks, low cabinets, and broken boxes in the house, and his expression gradually became a little ugly.

"I may have guessed wrong." Jiang Chen stared at the dilapidated wooden box and said in a low tone, "Mrs. Jia may not live here. ”

Chiyang turned his head to look at him suspiciously: "How can you see it?" ”

"It's all pots and pans, not a single woman's thing, especially a mirror." Jiang Chen recalled Miss Gan's face and sighed in a low voice, "It's impossible for a beautiful woman like Mrs. Jia not to look in the mirror every day......"

Chiyang also frowned, and the scars on his face were twisted together. "That's the problem......"

"Come and see here!" Outside the house, the voice of a girl in green clothes was heard.

Chiyang straightened up and strode out the door.

Jiang Chen followed.

The two of them came behind the girl in green clothes, and when they saw the scene she was pointing to, even though they were in the midday sun, they couldn't help but feel a chill behind themβ€”

It was a naturally formed crater, obscured by a boulder, mostly in shadow.

But just the scattered limbs exposed at the edge of the shadow make it easy to guess what is inside.

At first glance, at least a dozen corpses can be counted, and more are stacked in the depths of the pit, placed randomly like debris, and the dense limbs make people's scalp tingle.

"Madame Jia might be in there." The tone of the girl in green clothes also lost her original lightness and agility, and she stated in a monotonous and indifferent manner, "Go and find it, it may not be complete, you need to spell her out before the sun goes down." ”

Jiang Chen froze in place, unable to act.

The thought of needing to find the part that belonged to Madame Jia among so many corpses made him shiver and his stomach cramped.

The girl in green clothes didn't urge him, just turned around and walked away.

After a while, Chiyang let out a long sigh, "I'll go over and have a look." ”

With heavy steps, he burrowed into the pit along the slope, enduring the pungent stench and looking down to carefully identify the corpses.

Based on their clothing and physical characteristics, they can almost recognize men, women, young children, and the elderly...... If you want to find out Mrs. Jia more accurately, you can only judge from the fabric of the clothing.

Mrs. Jia is noble and pays attention to the character of life, and her clothes and accessories must be the most exquisite among them......

"No, no......" Jiang Chen muttered in a low voice, tapping his forehead with his right knuckle, "It shouldn't be like this......"

The girl in green clothes circled around the fence at the edge of the wooden house, then returned behind him, and asked, "What do you think is wrong?" ”

Jiang Chen hadn't realized that this was the closest he had been to the Peach Blossom Assassin alone, so he still knocked on his forehead and frowned and pondered: "The development of the whole thing can't be strung together at all. ”

"Because Mrs. Jia died too easily?"

"That monster worked hard to hide from everyone's eyes and ears and bring Mrs. Jia here, if you kill her easily......"

"You're wrong." The girl in green clothes paced leisurely in front of him, "This is not a 'lot of hardship', if that monster is superb, kidnapping Mrs. Jia is just a matter of convenience, and then killing the witnesses, it doesn't take much effort!" Mrs. Jia is equivalent to the whole world to Fourth Master Jia, but for that monster, Mrs. Jia is just one of its many toys, and she will kill it when she gets tired of playing, and she will not get any special treatment because of her dignity and beauty. It's hard to accept, but that's the truth! ”

"That's not right! Wrong! Jiang Chen shook his head violently, "This can't explain why there are two pairs of dishes and chopsticks on the table!" ”

"Two pairs of dishes and chopsticks......" the girl in green clothes recalled the furnishings in the wooden house, her eyes changed slightly, "it may have invited other guests." ”

Jiang Chen shook his head: "I can feel that the user of one pair of dishes and chopsticks is Mrs. Jia!" ”

Listening to Jiang Chen's firm words, the originally empty eyes of the girl in Cui Yi seemed to be a little more bright and smart: "So you still don't believe that Mrs. Jia is dead?" ”

She blinked twice, "Since you have a very smart nose, then you might as well smell it, where did Mrs. Jia go?" ”

"I ......"

Jiang Chen just wanted to say that his perception could not be so fine, and he could only roughly confirm that Mrs. Jia was moving around the area. But looking at the smiling face of the girl in front of him, he suddenly woke up, his mind fell back to the real situation, and he immediately realized that something was wrong - he was alone at the moment, and he was only a stone's throw away from the Peach Blossom Assassin, and Chiyang was five or six feet away!

Cold sweat instantly broke out from his back of the spine.

- Ben Shaoxia is so obsessed with tracking Mrs. Jia's whereabouts that he ignores the danger that is close at hand in reality!

Has the Peach Blossom Assassin been waiting for this moment for a long time?
