For a while, Xie Yixiang clearly felt that she had touched the edge of a crucial secret at this moment, and she had a strong premonition in her heart - as long as this secret could be solved, this series of strange events in Chilong Town would be solved one by one. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

At that moment, she forcibly suppressed the throbbing in her heart, and carefully reviewed these notes again, and the result was still the same: except for the lack of records of the year of the Lunar New Year eleven years ago, the annual records of this Red Dragon Town from ancient times to the present have all been preserved here intact, and even the records of the Qin and Han dynasties thousands of years ago are clearly recorded on those bamboo slips. She couldn't help but recall that the catcher Lao Ye had said that this Chilong Town had existed since the ancient flood period, and now it seems that this is not a lie, the Chilong Town she is in, even if it was not built during the ancient flood period, at least it was built in the Qin and Han dynasties.

As for the missing account from eleven years ago, maybe the chroniclers in Chilong Town didn't record what happened that year at all, or maybe someone deliberately took the record from that year. In either case, there could be only one purpose, and that is an attempt to cover up what happened eleven years ago. And the most suspicious among them are naturally Mayor Wu and Jin Zhutou, especially the Jin Zhutou. That night in the abandoned ancient house of the Yao family, he used the ghosts and gods as an excuse to burn the bones he found in the attic.

Even thinking of Jin Zhutou's burning of the corpse in the Yao family's ancient mansion, Xie Yixiang immediately recalled the twelve wordless spirit seats enshrined on the ground floor of the attic in the ancient mansion, as well as the eleven bones that were first found in the mezzanine on the second floor. At that time, after Ye and Chen's arrest and his own autopsy experience, they all unanimously determined that these eleven bones died about ten years ago, and now correspond to the missing records of Chilong Town eleven years ago in the back hall of the yamen, could it be that the eleven bones died eleven years ago?

Xie Yixiang found this clue, and his heart suddenly brightened, and countless memories flew in front of his eyes one by one, where could he still take care of the danger that was quietly approaching him in the back hall of Chilong Town?Strange dreams, the wordless spiritual position of the Yao family's ancient house, the attic where the corpse was hidden, the flower-faced black-robed monster, the fog on the shore of Poyang Lake, the immortality, the mysterious black-robed man...... All things flashed one after another from Xie Yixiang's mind. However, she tried to reach out and grab it several times, but she was always a little bit behind, unable to grasp the key to this series of things.

It was as if she had been groping in the dark for a long time, and finally found a door that could lead to the light, but she didn't expect that at the last step, she had clearly come to this door, and she found that this door was actually locked. And I have worked so hard, but in the end, I still lack a "key" that can open this door.

What is this "key" to open the door? Xie Yixiang was anxious, and couldn't help but repeat silently in her mouth: "Eleven years ago...... Eleven years ago...... "But the more she thought about it, the more confused she became, and there was a faint pain in her mind. According to Xie Yixiang's experience in a series of large and small cases in the criminal arrest room, this is the critical moment to solve the case, if he doesn't take advantage of the flash of inspiration to find the "key" and completely open the "door" in front of him, I am afraid it will be difficult to find such an opportunity in the future.

At this moment, there was another soft sound of "wave", and Xie Yixiang only felt that the back of his neck was cold, and it was obvious that the liquid that came from nowhere dripped on the back of his neck again. For a while, she couldn't help blurting out: "Water...... Water...... Poyang Lake, Lao Ye Temple, Yin Soldier Dance, Chaos Beast ...... That's right, it's the 'Old Man Temple' on the shore of Poyang Lake!"

Qu Baoshu, the former head of the Chaoyin Cave in Putuo Mountain, had interpreted this sentence to himself, saying that this sentence referred to the four miraculous things that happened in the area of Poyang Lake, and at this moment, Qu Baoshu's words had clearly echoed in Xie Yixiang's ears: "...... The 'Lao Ye Temple' in the second sentence is a bit confusing, it is said that the emperor had planned to build a 'Lao Ye Temple' on the shore of Poyang Lake, but in the end it was somehow lost...... Coincidentally, it was about one or two decades ago, when the world was not yet unified, although the emperor had just won the victory of Li Jiusi and won the victory of Poyang Lake, and then laid the cornerstone of winning the world, but after all, he had not yet ascended the throne and became the emperor. As for why the 'Old Man Temple' was built, the poor acid doesn't know......"

That's right, that Qu Baoshu definitely told himself that when the emperor aimed to build the "Old Man Temple" on the shore of Poyang Lake, it was about the same time as the words "Poyang Lake, Old Man Temple, Yin Soldier Dance, Chaos Beast" were circulated, and they were also eleven or twelve years ago, which clearly coincided with the current missing account of Chilong Town eleven years ago. If the time point of "eleven years ago" is regarded as a line, so as to connect the missing chronicle of the year of the Gui Dynasty in Chilong Town, the time of death of the eleven corpses in the ancient mansion of the Yao family, and the emperor's order to build the Lao Ye Temple, what kind of situation will it be?

You must know that Xie Yixiang is a smart person, what she lacks is only experience and experience, since these three things are connected at this moment, she has deduced a hypothesis in an instant: "Eleven years ago, the emperor didn't know why, he ordered to build a 'Lao Ye Temple' on the shore of Poyang Lake, but in the end, he didn't know what happened, so he had to put this matter away." And in the drawer in the back hall of the Yamen of Chilong Town, the reason why the account from eleven years ago is missing is that he wants to cover up the truth behind the matter of 'the emperor can't build the temple', and it may even be to completely cover up the 'emperor's temple repair'. As for the eleven bones found in the Yao family's ancient mansion, most of them were people related to this matter, so they were disfigured by the murderer and left knife marks on the face bones, in order to completely cover up the emperor's construction of the Lao Ye Temple. ”

If Xie Yixiang's assumption is true, then the current series of strange things in Chilong Town and even the entire Poyang Lake, the imperial court has naturally been involved in it for a long time, and it is even very likely that the two sides have dealt with each other openly or secretly in the construction of the Lao Ye Temple back then, and most of them are the imperial court side who has suffered a secret loss. Therefore, in desperation, the emperor has tolerated the loopholes in this red dragon town to this day.

Thinking of this, Xie Yixiang felt more and more frightened. In the face of such a complicated situation, if you still want to recover the stolen military salaries for the imperial court, it is undoubtedly a fool's dream. It's better to go back to Jinling for the time being, and let my father use the resources of the court to think of a way, so as to gather enough strength to completely blow away the fog on Poyang Lake!

However, after thinking about it, I remember that when the face-tearing demon case was temporarily discussed for a paragraph, the senior brother Xian Jingyue once said to himself in the Xiangyuju teahouse: "The ignorant are fearless and are horsemen; "Could it be that because he saw the complexity of the situation in front of him, he was about to retreat?

Xie Yixiang hesitated, and suddenly found that the chaos in his hand had become hot at some point, as if this artifact was trying his best to remind himself: "Danger is imminent!"

In amazement, she couldn't help but look down at Chaoli in her hand, but saw that on the crimson blade of Chaoli, it was clearly reflected above her head, and a colorful face was floating. Due to the refraction angle of the blade and the faint light of the oil lamp, this flower face was crooked and unusually distorted, and on this colorful face, at the corner of the mouth that was slightly open at the moment, a sticky saliva was falling, no more than an inch away from the top of his head, and he shook gently in mid-air.

It turned out that the liquid that had just dripped on the top of his head and the back of his neck twice in a row was actually saliva dripping from the mouth of this flowery face. Xie Yixiang felt extremely nauseous in an instant, and a shiver broke out all over her body, almost nauseating.
