16. Knowing "contentment" is always happy (5/5)

After all, this is the headquarters of Wudang Feimen, and the one who investigates the case is the first god to arrest, and the efficiency is extremely high.

When I was looking it up...

Xia Wushu still squinted at the rather oozing headless corpse.

She couldn't help but have a question in her heart:

Why did the murderer cut off the head of the king?

Why did the toxin spread in the corpse of the king, causing his meridians, flesh and bones to be infected with the toxin?

Why is the death of the king different from the others?

And also left the words?

Strictly speaking, she was completely unable to confirm whether the corpse was the king's catcher.

Or maybe it's just a person about the same size as the king, but he wears the clothes of the king and appears where the king should appear.

Then, the severity of the matter increases.

It's just that now she has no other choice but to continue to investigate with this clue, after all... The wedding of the crown prince and the "Lady of Flowers" Bai Yueying is not far away.

Not allong...

The man had already found out the time of death - it was the night before.

Following this clue, everyone almost quickly began to inquire about all kinds of information, such as who had entered here at that time, and where the various catchers of Wudang Feimen were at that time.

It didn't take long...

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. ”

"My lord, the Wudang Feimen branch in the north has never seen Luo Wuqing. ”

A report came.

Xia Wudi's eyes lit up, and he walked quickly: "Come with me!"

With that, she directly used her body technique to fly towards Luo Wuqing's house.

As she twitched, her mind racing.

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...

If it's him, then everything makes sense.

Because in this world, there is a thing called ventriloquism.

But speaking in ventriloquist requires one condition, and that is to be near the deceased.

This can also explain the fact that the spontaneously combusting corpse that Zhao Xue encountered outside the city could say the sixteen words "the door of the underworld is opened, and the ghost is revived", because Luo Wuqing was by his side.

And when Zhao Xuexue died, because he was there, Luo Wuqing was afraid of being discovered, so he didn't dare to say it.

Then there is the Cross and the Trapper's cronies, who perfectly meet these two requirements.

Finally, there is the problem of corpse charcoal, because the samples from outside the city were also taken by him, and in the process, he probably did something to make it impossible for him to find out.

A lot of thoughts flashed...

It seems that everything makes sense.

But Xia Wushu was still a little uneasy.

Because... It's so smooth.

Just as she was thinking about it, she had already arrived in front of Luo Wuqing's house.

The tigress vigilantly grabbed the Mo knife back with her right hand, and then without saying a word, she rushed forward directly and kicked the door violently.

There was no ambush in the house, and there was no hidden weapon to open the door to kill.

The light was dim, inexplicably cold, and some of the places where the 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 papersβ€”the 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. ”

"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. ”

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.

...

...

"Your second sister has found it!"

"In the Prince's Mansion!"

"She's going to apply for a search warrant tomorrow... However, I don't understand why the prince has to do this?"

Jiang Xueyi pondered with her cheeks raised, "I have a feeling that your sister is being led into a trap, but she has to investigate, because the clue is broken here." ”

Xia Ji looked at her: "You are very well-informed... My second sister hasn't come back yet, you know?"

Is this equipped with a mobile phone?

Jiang Xueyi said: "Of course, on the territory of this Shu Kingdom, my beggars have ears and eyes everywhere! ”

Perhaps after realizing that the teacher was not a "grandfather", she was obviously much more lively, and her way of speaking was different from before.

Xia Ji thought for a moment and asked, "Are you sure it's the Prince's Mansion?"

"Sure. ”

"I see, keep an eye on how this goes. ”

After Xia Ji said this, he turned his head slightly, and the future princess he had met with the fat man inadvertently appeared in his mind, "Lady Blossom" Bai Yueying.

Since it is the Prince's Mansion, then this matter is inseparable from Bai Yueying, who is the "Heavenly Maiden" of the Blood Demon Sect behind her.

He already had a plan in mind.

And suddenly, he noticed Jiang Xueyi's strange look.

The big-headed beggar gang leader asked in a low voice, "Teacher, are you content and happy?"

Xia Ji: ???

He suddenly found that when he was thinking about it just now, he was inadvertently looking at the snow-white feet of the girl in front of him who had taken off their boots and were warming by the charcoal stove.

Xia Ji: "Hehe..."

Jiang Xueyi's ten crystal clear little feet opened up like a demonstrative, and then retracted, she leaned over, thought about it, and mustered up the courage to ask, "Isn't it?"

Xia Ji said: "Get out." ”
