24. Strange Misfortune (Second Shift - Ask for Recommendation and Collect)
Xia Xuan didn't leave the city immediately, and the "procedures" for going out once were very complicated.
He ran straight into the small building southwest of the Teaching Division... Then the Sutra of Absence was removed in advance.
In a small building in the distance...
The red yarn rolls with the autumn wind,
A few days after the red sandalwood case, Jiang Xueyi sat alone, looking like he was playing chess.
But she seems to be with her left hand and right hand, and she is so fast that she can fall almost without thinking.
The left hand holds white, and the right hand holds black.
Bai Zi is upright, bright and upright, worthy of the heart of the right way...
However, Kuroko is extremely treacherous, like a ghost, and every step is full of vicious, hasty killing thoughts.
Suddenly, Jiang Xueyi's expression froze vigilantly, because she felt that someone suddenly appeared in her perception.
But then, her expression soothed again, because she had already determined that the person who came was Childe.
When she realized this, her right hand moved a few times, and she quietly grabbed the sunspot and scattered around, and suddenly, the trend of the sunspot became bright...
After doing this, Xia Xuan had already run over.
When Jiang Xueyi saw this man, she was happy from the bottom of her heart.
No.
Even if you hear his footsteps, you will be sincerely happy.
But she knew very well that she couldn't show these emotions, so she got up and said, "Childe..."
Xia Xuan said: "I suddenly missed you in broad daylight, so I ran out secretly." β
Jiang Xueyi's heart was sweet, but she knew that Childe was talking nonsense casually, so she didn't break it, but just followed his words: "It just so happened that Xueyi was also thinking about Childe." β
Xia Xuan said as he went directly to the boudoir of the famous Ji of this sect.
Then, under Jiang Xueyi's shocked gaze, he skillfully got under the bed of this famous concubine, and then knocked and knocked, as if some mechanism had been triggered, and then took out a dark gold box.
He skillfully activated the mechanism lock of the box, and when he opened it, he seemed to take something out of it and put it in his arms.
Then he slowly withdrew from under the bed, looked at the girl in red and said, "I'm going out for something, but I can't be known, so you pretend to be in your room until dark, okay?"
Jiang Xueyi didn't laugh either, and responded obediently: "Childe has been in my boudoir today and hasn't gone anywhere." β
Xia Xuan praised: "In place." β
With that, he took the bulging thing in his bosom in his hands and ran out.
Running and running, he suddenly disappeared from Jiang Xueyi's perception.
Jiang Xueyi was stunned for a moment, and her mood suddenly became complicated.
She is happy that Childe may regard her as his real own, so he hides all the secrets in his boudoir, and also asks herself to help him hide his whereabouts.
But what she is not happy about is that Childe is obviously hiding a lot of secrets,
It doesn't matter if she doesn't know these secrets......
However, as long as she thinks of "whether anyone else will know, whether other people will be the closest person to Childe", she will be in great pain, and she will only feel that all her internal organs have been thrown into the raging flames and burned.
She wants to be the closest person to Childe in this world.
She can be righteous or evil, Childe is on the right path, she is a fairy on the right path, Childe is on the evil path, she is the demon queen of the Demon Gate.
...
...
"The people of the Demon Gate have already infiltrated to such a point?!"
Xia Wushu squinted his apricot eyes.
And the embroidery of the Quartet Patrol has already returned.
"Lord Qiyu, Luo Wuqing is missing!"
"My lord, the records of the Quartet City Guards entering and leaving the city since yesterday have been queried, and there is no record of Luo Wuqing. β
"My lord, the Wudang Feimen branch in the north has never seen Luo Wuqing. β
A report came.
Xia Wushu pondered.
Luo Wuqing was the head catcher who went to the outside of the city with Zhao Xue, one of the four gods, and he was also the head catcher who was at the scene when Zhao blood spontaneously combusted...
Since Xia Xuan's analysis yesterday, this Luo Wuqing has almost become one of the many suspects.
Coupled with the "disappearance" at this time, he is almost the biggest suspect in the coffin.
The first is ventriloquism, he can say the sixteen words "the door of the underworld is opened, and the ghost is returned" outside the city, but he didn't dare to say it in front of Xia Wuyi.
Then there is the Cross and the Trapper's cronies, who perfectly meet these two requirements.
Finally, there is the problem of corpse carbon formation, because the samples from outside the city were taken by him, and in the process, he is likely to have done something to make it impossible for him to find out.
However, since last night, when everyone's suspicious eyes focused on him, the head catcher disappeared.
But though he vanished, it was clear that he had left in such a hurry that the room was in such a mess that there were some traces of burning, apparently in a hurry to destroy important information.
Now, although Wudang Feimen is temporarily controlled by the black-clothed Tingwei, Tingwei has a lot of things to do every day, and the investigation finally falls on Xia Wudi's shoulders.
At this time, Xia Wudi thought for a while, and said, "Go to Luo Wuqing's house and have a look!"
Although Xiao Xuan suspects that it was the king who killed the king himself, the case still has to be driven by clues little by little... Imagination doesn't mean much to the truth, and sometimes it can even be misleading.
Soon...
She came to a mansion.
The catchers who were guarding the scene around the house said, "I've seen Lord Xia..."
As soon as Xia Wushu raised his hand, he stepped into the house resolutely.
The light in the room was very dim, revealing an inexplicable coldness, and some places where materials and temporary files were stored were even more cluttered.
Xia Wuxian's eyes swept and observed everything here,
Her eyes fell on details such as "the broken candle on the ground separated from the candlestick", "the central table arched almost slightly towards the door at an angle of about 15 degrees", "some shattered paper on the ground", and so on...
The tigress's unique apricot eyes narrowed slightly, and at this moment, she had already begun to perceive what was happening at the scene...
She seemed to see Luo Wuqing's panic when she learned the information, but after hearing the footsteps of the patrol coming this way, she hurriedly raised the candlestick on the table, and directly lit some important information on the bookshelf.
But the patrol came too fast after all, Luo Wuqing gritted his teeth and hurriedly got up, but because he was in too much hurry, he hit the table, and then he saw that the materials had not been burned, so he hurriedly shook his luck, and then fled in a hurry.
Xia Wushu pondered for a long time, and at this time, the elite embroidery that came with her had already begun to recover the shredded paper information.
Long...
For a long time...
The First Hunter finally saw a name in the scattered papersβthe Phosphate Swallower.
Xia Wushu is not omnipotent, she doesn't know what it is, but there are a lot of people in Wudang Feimen and Shenying Hall, after all, someone recognizes it, and someone soon came out to answer.
"Phosphorus swallowing insect is a strange insect that likes to devour white phosphorus, or whether it is a worm is not easy to determine, because no living thing likes to eat white phosphorus, so some people say that this is an evil thing born of spirits. β
"Spirits?" Xia Wushu squinted, she had a little impression of spirits, these things are evil and evil, extremely treacherous, not life, but they like to be troubled,
And some ferocious spirits will even turn into a scourge that destroys a place, which is called a strange disaster.
It's just that in Shu Kingdom, let alone strange disasters, even cases involving spirits have never happened.
The man continued: "Yes, it is a spirit, but if the water that has been stained with a phosphorus swallow insect is poured on a person, if it is not removed in time, it will cause spontaneous combustion in the light...
If the amount is large, the moonlight can also spontaneously combust,
If the amount is small, it needs to be under the scorching sun.
Its water is colorless and tasteless, its fire poison is terrifying, and the temperature of the flames caused by it is extremely high. β
Xia Wushu listened silently, while the "recovery of torn files" on the other side continued.
Before long, there was a new discovery.
It's about the origin of the phosphorite...
On the ambiguous paper, many clues pointed to an unexpected place - the Prince's Mansion.
