Following.

Sunlight pours into the room through the curtains, and the warm morning light illuminates the bedroom, where the protagonist is in the eye. Xiao Han lay quietly on the bed, breathing slightly, slowly waking up as if bathing in the sun. The corners of his mouth rose slightly, as if he had a good dream.

Gradually, his eyelashes fluttered, and then he slowly opened his eyes. There was a hint of clarity and serenity in those bright and deep eyes. He rubbed his still groggy head with his hand to make his thoughts clearer.

Last night, Xiao Han had a good conversation with their master and apprentice, so a few people drank a few glasses of wine, and they chatted until late at night, and gradually Xiao Han fell asleep, and in retrospect, Mu Tianan carried him back to the inn.

At this time, there was a commotion outside the door.

I saw that Mu Tianan hurriedly ran into the house and said, "Just now, someone found a corpse in an extremely miserable state in a farmer's house. ”

"Oh! Do you know that person, why do you care so much? After speaking, Xiao Han seemed to think of something, put on his clothes and walked out of the room quickly.

"Xiao Han, where are you in such a hurry?" Mu Tianan followed behind Xiao Han and said unhappily.

"Go to the scene and see if it's the person! Anyway, where is the scene of the crime? Xiao Han replied.

"Alright! I'll show you there! Mu Tianan said.

It was not far from the inn, and Xiao Han and Mu Tianan climbed a few small alleys to reach their destination.

To the southeast of the inn was a farmer's family, and a tragic corpse was found by passers-by this morning. It has three scars on its back, and three slash marks have left marks of varying degrees on its back. One of the marks was a deep, wide wound with a sharpened face, which could be judged to have been cut with a sharp weapon such as an axe, and it was a fatal wound.

This also confirms Xuan Qingzhen's guess that day, Xiao Han is also a man who has seen strong winds and waves in the police force, and when he saw this scene, his expression also felt a little trance, he never imagined that the young man he met for the first time in the teahouse yesterday would be so ruthless.

At this moment, a giant hand patted Xiao Han's shoulder, and he quickly came to his senses, turned his head and said, "Sir!" It's exactly what you said, but the young man was too heavy! ”

Xuan Qing Zhenren stroked his beard and smiled, "I was tired and tired all day and wanted to go home happily, but when I saw that scene, anyone would rise up to kill me!" ”

Xiao Han nodded, and then said, "As the saying goes, killing pays for life, and there were laws about this during the Xuanlong Dynasty, but I wonder if they can continue to be implemented now?" ”

"This is also the only good thing that the Nine Underworld Divine Sect has done in the past five years, and Wu Desi has still upheld legal and professional ethics over the years, protecting the safety of ordinary people and social order, and fighting for justice for the victims." Xuan Qingzhen said.

Wudesi is an organization that specializes in handling civil and administrative cases, as well as the functions of prisons, Wudesi and Fengjizong are both organizations dedicated to serving the Xuanlong Dynasty, and they guard the lives of the people in the light and in the dark. The purpose of the establishment of the Wude Division is to maintain the safety of the people, so it is rare to get involved in the affairs of the rivers and lakes, and over time, those sect forces have also developed a tacit understanding, and they will never conflict with the Wu Desi in peacetime.

While Xiao Han was talking to Xuan Qingzhen, three people dressed in completely different costumes from the common people came over, they carefully squeezed into the crowd, and then took out a scroll from their waists, and said loudly, "We are the people of the Wude Division, please take three steps back!" ”

After Xiao Han saw that Xuan Qingzhen took three steps back, he hurriedly did the same.

One of the three of them looked up at the cabin in front of him, sighed and said, "Go and bring Xiao Li back, that kid has killed someone!" ”

"Xiao Li? The young scholar who accidentally offended the big man, I've read the books he wrote! Another said in surprise.

Seeing the professional methods of the three of them, Xiao Han couldn't help but think back to the scenes he had in the criminal police brigade before his death, and Xiao Han at that time was as rigorous as them in handling the case at hand.

Xiao Han's gaze quickly caught their attention, and one of the middle-aged men also looked towards Xiao Han's position, and at this moment they looked at each other.

After a while, the middle-aged man smiled on his face, and immediately turned his head and whispered something to the two people beside him.

This inadvertent glance narrowed the relationship between Xiao Han and them in the future.

The three of them acted quickly to deal with the scene, and it didn't take long for the body to be taken away completely.

The crowd drifted away, leaving only an empty log cabin, still under the tree.

After that, Xiao Han said goodbye to the master and apprentice of Xuan Qing Zhenren, before leaving, Xuan Qing Zhen Zhen did not continue to keep Xiao Han, he just warned Xiao Han to be careful in everything, and he could ask for help from his apprentice if he had something.

Xiao Han readily agreed, only to see that after he waved at them, he took the opportunity to blend into the crowd and disappeared around a corner in front.

"Master! Did you really let him go? I don't know if it's true or not, it seems that rumors have begun to spread among the rivers and lakes that the tenth prince Li Muyao is still not dead! Mu Tianan frowned and said.

"Look at the way he left, would he be that easy to arrest? Last night, I calculated that this time is not suitable for you to meet! Xuanqing Zhenren looked at the direction in which Xiao Han disappeared and said with a smile.

"Huh?" Mu Tianan shrugged his shoulders and said.

······

Three days later, Xiao Han finally returned to the cabin in the mountains.

Xiao Han didn't rush back, but deliberately went around in a big circle, and after a good tour, he set foot on the way home.

"I wonder if Senior Sister and Master miss me?" Xiao Han thought in his heart, and slowly pushed the door open with both hands.

“······”

There was no one in the house, and Xiao Han called a few times but no one answered.

"They must be out of town!" Thinking to himself, Xiao Han walked to the coffee table, and wanted to pour a cup of tea to moisturize his throat, but he was surprised to find that the teapot was empty.

On weekdays, the junior sister knew that Xiao Han liked to drink tea, so she usually put a small handful of tea leaves in the teapot in case he felt that he wanted to drink it at that time.

Xiao Han looked at the empty teapot, blinked thoughtfully, and soon seemed to have an answer in his heart, and then looked at the other side of the coffee table sharply.

I saw a letter on the other side of the coffee table.

Xiao Han carefully held the unopened letter, his palms sweating slightly, and his heartbeat began to accelerate. I can't help but imagine the various messages that the letter may contain, good news or bad news. I took a deep breath, clenched my fists, and tried to control my emotions.

Slowly tearing open the envelope, time seemed to freeze at that moment······
