"Old Shi, shall we go in now? Will it be a little earlier? ”

At this time, there were still many pedestrians walking around in the alley, and the laughter of drunkards could be faintly heard in a restaurant not far away.

"Of course not, we have to wait until after the end of the day, and there are no more people on the street before going in, after all, we may not be small after we go in this time, I don't want to make everyone watch."

Shi Cheng took the two to a nearby high ground, and the three came to a jujube forest, Shi Cheng took out three sets of night clothes from the storage bag and told the two to change together.

The waiting time was long and lonely, Wu Neng was still not used to waiting quietly like this, he whispered to Shi Cheng and Tie Mian from time to time, in addition to relieving his nervous mood, he also had the idea of passing the time.

It's just that Iron Mask is really not a talkative person, and Wu Neng stopped talking to this Iron Pimple after a few boring times.

Gradually, there were fewer and fewer pedestrians on the streets, and the lights on both sides of the street dimmed.

After a team of night patrol guards left, Shi Cheng suddenly said, "Let's act." ”

The three of them quietly walked out of the jujube forest, Shi Cheng walked in front, lifted his breath and jumped lightly, flashed and moved a few times on the roof of the nearby house, and then landed cleanly in the south courtyard of the Camel Bell Chamber of Commerce.

Tie Mian and Wu Neng also jumped into the wall, because Wu Neng's light skills were really not as good as Shi Cheng and Tie Mian, the sound of him landing was still slightly louder, but fortunately, Shi Cheng reacted quickly, and quickly knocked out a nurse who came to check the suspicious movements, and the three of them finally managed to sneak in.

The three of them came to trouble Huang Yuan this time, so Shi Cheng didn't have any scruples in his heart, if the nursing home found them, then just knock them out before the nursing home warned the other companions.

"Old Shi, will we go directly to the East Side Courtyard where Huang Yuan is located now?"

"Well, capture the king first, and then see if there are any suspicious clues in the rest of the chamber of commerce."

Shi Cheng and the three of them went all the way to the backyard, and on the way to the backyard, the three of them cooperated with each other and connected and put down the six guards.

There are not many nursing homes in the Camel Bell Chamber of Commerce, compared with the last time Shi Cheng came, there are only a few more strong men wandering around the courtyard, and all the nursing homes are basically only wandering around the area they are responsible for, and they don't move around. Shi Cheng and the three of them sneaked all the way to the backyard, but they didn't cause a single sound.

The east side of the chamber of commerce is not very large, there is only a large room and two utility sheds in it, and when the three of them walked to the gate of the courtyard, they happened to run into a nursing home that came back from the latrine. Shi Cheng's eyes were quick, and he popped out a stone that had already been buckled in his hand, and knocked the empty point of the nursing home with his eyes wide open and his mouth open to shout to the ground.

"It's dangerous." Wu Neng said softly, he wiped his sweat, and rejoiced: "Fortunately, Lao Shi, your eyes are sharp." ”

"Let's go in quickly, that Huang Yuan should be here." After speaking, Shi Cheng jumped and landed lightly in front of the door of the main house in the side courtyard.

However, just as he was about to push open the door and rush in, Shi Cheng, who had a keen sense of the five senses, suddenly smelled some strange smell, and a faint fishy sweet smell with the smell of rust poured into his nostrils.

"Not good!" Shi Cheng's heart was alarmed, and he hurriedly pushed open the door and rushed in.

After entering the house, Shi Cheng rolled on the ground, grabbed a corner first, and then began to look at the scene in the house.

Wu Nenghe and Tie Qian, who was holding the long sword in his hand, entered the house with his feet in front of him, and the scene inside the house shocked the hearts of the three of them.

The house was very messy, and all the tables and chairs were overturned to the ground. Huang Yuan, dressed in black robes, knelt against the wall directly north like a soft noodle, a large red hole in his chest that stood out unusually in the black. His wounds were bleeding anymore, and the ground beneath him seemed to be whitewashed with dark red paint.

"Old Wu, Iron Mask, close the door first!" Shi Cheng quickly reacted from the shock.

Iron Mask turned around and closed the door.

"Old Shi, what the hell is this?" Wu Neng was so shocked that he had already spoken unfavorably.

Shi Cheng's face was very grim, he waved his hand, signaling Wu Neng to calm down as soon as possible, and then he gently walked towards Huang Yuan, who had fallen to the ground. With his clever light skills, Shi Cheng did not leave a trace on the ground he walked on.

Shi Cheng was extremely vigilant about the changes that might occur around him, he walked to Huang Yuan's body, squatted down gently, and after some inspection, shook his head towards Wu Neng and Tie Mian.

"Dead?" Wu Neng asked in disbelief.

"It's dead." Shi Cheng said.

Iron Mask pressed his sword tightly in his hand and cautiously looked around the room.

"Old Wu, I'll check the corpse, you go to the gate and pay attention to the movement outside." After Shi Cheng finished giving the order, he looked down intently to check Huang Yuan's corpse.

"Okay." Wu Neng nodded, he also wanted to stay as far away as possible from the disgusting thick bloody aura beside Huang Yuan, he took out a repeating crossbow from the Hidden Heaven Box, and then squatted down in front of the door of the room, quietly paying attention to the sound outside.

After taking a cursory look at the wounds on Huang Yuan's body, Shi Cheng stretched out his hand and took off the mask on Huang Yuan's face.

A face that made him feel familiar was revealed, and Shi Cheng's heart was shocked, and his brain thought quickly, wanting to remember where he had seen this face.

Tie Mian leaned in and took a look, he thought for a moment, and then said with some surprise: "How could it be him?" The Wang surname of the Camel Bell Chamber of Commerce is in charge! ”

As soon as Tie Mian said this, Shi Cheng also remembered where he had seen this face, and when the three of them visited the Camel Bell Chamber of Commerce for the first time, it was the steward surnamed Wang who received them.

"He's Huang Yuan? Why did he die here? Who's the hand? Countless questions flashed in Shi Cheng's heart for a while.

With these questions, Shi Cheng took out a knife from the storage bag, cut through Huang Yuan's clothes, and began to conduct a detailed examination of his whole body.

Iron Mask didn't bother Shi Cheng, he also knew that Shi Cheng was the only one of the three of them who was a fairly knowledgeable professional, so he turned around to check the bookcases around him, trying to find some clues from other parts of the scene.

If you didn't look at the bloody hole in the chest in front of the corpse, Huang Yuan's corpse still looked relatively white. After examining his head and torso, Shi Cheng took Huang Yuan's clean and smooth palm into his hand and pressed it gently, as if to test the stiffness of his palm.

After examining all his limbs, after a long while, Shi Chengcai stood up, his face was expressionless, and Tie Mian and Wu Neng didn't know what he was thinking in his heart.

"Old Wu, Iron Mask, you all come over for a while, and we'll sum it up together." Shi Cheng said to the two.

Wu Neng pinched his nose and walked over with Tie Mian, and he asked in a thick nasal voice, "Old Shi, Lao Tie, what have you discovered?" While speaking, Wu Neng tilted his head as much as he could, not allowing himself to look at the bloody scene.

"Let me start with some of the findings so far." Shi Cheng said as he wiped the knife, "Considering the deceased's status as a monk and the temperature in the house, judging from the degree of stiffness, he probably died an hour ago. However, this is only a rough judgment, not a fine one. ”

"You have also seen the fatal wound, there are silk threads in the wound that do not belong to the clothes of the deceased, so as far as I can judge, Huang Yuan ...... Or that the Wang steward of the Camel Bell Chamber of Commerce may have been directly pierced through his left chest by the murderer in front of him. ”

"This king is in charge......" Iron Mask muttered, "Now it seems that he is a master of the cultivator realm, the last time I saw him, I didn't actually see what kind of realm monk he was, now I think that at that time, he should have a magic weapon on his body that could cover his cultivation...... Such a not simple character was killed without resistance, and I don't know where the murderer is. ”

"No resistance?" Wu Neng looked at the overturned furniture around him suspiciously, "Isn't there a sign in this room like this?" ”

"Iron Mask is right." Shi Cheng nodded and said, "Old Wu, take a closer look, two masters of the Cultivator Realm are fighting in this room, leaving traces of true qi and even destroying this room, and there are no obvious traces left after the fight in other parts of the deceased's body." ”

Wu Neng didn't dare to look at Huang Yuan's body, he turned his head and looked at the scene in other places carefully, and sure enough, he found no trace of what Shi Cheng said.

"Huang Yuan may have a magic weapon on his body, have you found it?" Tie asked Shi Cheng.

Shi Cheng shook his head and said, "No, if he has such a thing on him that can perform the methods of a grandmaster, I believe I can recognize it at a glance." ”

Wu Neng guessed: "Could it be that Huang Yuan didn't bring things with him, but put them somewhere in this room?" The killer turned this place into a mess, maybe just to find something! ”

Iron Mask nodded, apparently thinking so too.

"Iron Mask, have you found anything?" Shi Cheng asked.

"The furnishings of the house are not complicated, there are three landscape paintings on the wall, and on the ground there are four bookcases, two storage cabinets, eight tables and chairs of various kinds, two incense burners and five lamps. Bookcases and lockers were the mess up, and when I looked at the contents, they were mostly filled with lamp oil, straw rope, and incense. There are a lot of books in the bookcase, and I haven't had time to check them carefully, but what I see so far are geography, gossip and weird stories, and books about business. Overall, this room felt like a study to me. Iron Mask told his discovery in great detail.

"Are there any letters or deeds, are there any mezzanines in the cabinet and behind the paintings? Are there any secret passages in the room? I don't think the killer necessarily came in through the gate. ”

"None of this has been found at the moment."

Shi Cheng didn't ask anything more, he suspected that the murderer was looking for not only magic weapons in this room, but also things related to private information such as letters, but the people of the Western Desert would not necessarily put important letters in their own study, so he couldn't make a conclusion.

"I'll have to take a look at the other rooms." Shi Cheng thought to himself.

The three of them searched the room carefully, but in the end they found nothing. Before beckoning Iron Mask and Wu Neng to leave, Shi Cheng looked around the room again. Like the people of the Union Khanate, the people of the Western Desert also had the habit of keeping the owner's favorite miscellaneous playthings or precious antiques in the study. However, the slightly shabby furnishings in the room of the Camel Bell Chamber of Commerce made Shi Cheng feel more deeply the strange and different temperament of the owner of the Chamber of Commerce.
