Everyone slept peacefully all night, no one bothered them, and when they woke up the next morning, after the group had breakfast, Lin Chunxi arranged for everyone to go separately to investigate the news related to the case.

Xue Lingheng went to the yamen of the capital, where there were people from the prince's mansion waiting early, Xue Lingheng planned to look at the case file again, and find some clues from the written records of the scene, because the case of the loss of the child in the capital is currently handled by the prince, and the person with the prince's mansion is responsible for the introduction, so Xue Lingheng did not receive too many obstacles along the way, and he did not want to cause more trouble, so he went straight to the archives warehouse, the purpose of this trip is very clear, because nearly three months have passed since the first case, the scene no longer exists, and the only trace to follow is the original written record。 Xue Lingheng soon came to the archives under the guidance of a special person, which manages and collects all the records of large and small cases that have occurred in the capital in recent years, which can be described as a large warehouse full of documents, if it is not for someone to guide, it is like looking for a needle in a haystack to know the clues in these files.

Because this case has been very eye-catching recently, the yamen did not dare to be careless, knowing that someone would definitely come to read the file, so all the materials and physical evidence materials had been prepared early, and the person in charge of the reception found a reason to leave after leading Xue Lingheng to the warehouse. Xue Lingheng ignored these, first opened the text file, and began to check it, it turned out that the first case was recorded, the loss of the child was a wealthy family, there are three restaurants in the capital, a pharmacy, and a warehouse, although it is not as good as the rich and noble people in the capital, but compared to the ordinary people's homes, it is more than enough than the top, this lost is a boy, the old shopkeeper is old, he loves the child very much, and hires a number of special personnel to protect him, including some martial arts guards, it is said that no one in the capital should dare to blatantly kidnap and extort, since a special guard has been arranged, it should be said that it is foolproofIt is recorded that after the nurse put the child to sleep, she did not leave, but talked with the child's biological mother in the house, and then the two also fell asleep, but all the guards were in the outhouse, there was no abnormal movement, it rained all night, and after dawn, the family found out who should have been beside the child was gone, and the family reported to the official after looking around, and everyone did not leave the yard, but the child disappeared.

Xue Lingheng felt that things were a little strange, to be able to do this level, in addition to being a ghost, it must be the master's doing, but who would be a master of the rivers and lakes to steal a child for no reason, and it was not for money, and there was no sign of revenge, and the child was lost inexplicably.

Xue Lingheng looked at the next case with questions, this is a famous blacksmith in the capital, the ironware of his family can be directly purchased by the palace, it can be said that the reputation is not small, the lost child is not the owner of the family, but the young daughter of a technician, the technician has worked in the blacksmith shop for nearly ten years, the shopkeeper treats him like his own family, and later the technician marries a wife and has children, and he has a home in the capital, eating and living in the store, although she gave birth to a girl, but according to records, this girl is different from ordinary girls, she doesn't like dolls, she likes to beat iron, and she also likes the sound of iron, and in the past, she likes to be held by people to watch the blacksmiths make iron, This is also a small anecdote in the streets, such a child was also lost, but the careful Xue Lingheng found in the case file, according to the records at the scene, the gold and silver at home were not lost, but a hammer was lost, which was also used by the family to tease the children in the past, and it was because ordinary children did not like these iron tools, so it was specially recorded.

In the third case, it was reported that a timber merchant, whose family was also well-known in the capital, specially transported the best timber from the north to the south, and the child of the family was lost in swaddling clothes on the day of the full moon, when only the shopkeeper and his wife took care of the child in the house, according to the confession, the hospital workers at that time, no one noticed anything unusual, because the wood is different from other items, it is easy to fire, so the courtyard is also arranged to be guarded, everyone said that they did not perceive any noise, but after getting up in the morning, they found that the child was strangely lost。

...

Xue Lingheng looked at a few more children, and began to have a strange feeling in his heart, Xue Lingheng had devoted himself to studying the Yin and Yang Five Elements Formation in the past, and he also had some research on physiognomy gossip, combined with what he had learned and understood in the past, coupled with the various records in the case, he had a very terrifying conjecture in his heart.

The children of the rich families were lost on a rainy night, and the rich families had a lot of money, and the money was water, and the night when the children were lost fell into heavy rain.

The children of the blacksmith family are lost, and the blacksmith family is mostly ironware, and the children are fond of iron, and regard the small hammer as a toy. Euro eBook

The carpenter's child was lost, and there were many wooden utensils in the house, and the day when the child was lost was the child's full moon, which was recorded from the yellow calendar, and that day belonged to wood

...

Xue Lingheng followed his conjecture and continued to read other cases, and sure enough, a fire broke out in the house on the night when the child was lost in the family of the small boss who was engaged in the coal business, and after the fire was extinguished, the child disappeared inexplicably.

When the child was lost in the family of the craftsman who carved the jade, the child was sleeping soundly and holding a small jade pendant in his hand, which was lost along with the child.

Xue Lingheng not only gasped, but also metal, wood, water, fire, earth...

He suspected that the whole incident was not a coincidence, someone was stealing the child in the order of gold, wood, water, fire and earth, and the child who stole must also be consistent with or related to the above attributes, which made him shocked, it seemed that someone was going to use the Yin and Yang Five Elements Formation to do something wrong.

But why were the bodies of the first stolen children found in the Chenghuang Temple, and then there were successive incidents of losing children, and from the dossier, the order and characteristics of the loss of children also showed the laws of metal, wood, water, fire, and earth.

Xue Lingheng was a little puzzled, but he felt as if he had sensed something important, although he couldn't express it, but as a Yin Yang Rune Master, he trusted his own judgment. Thinking of this, he immediately put down the file in his hand, sorted out his notes, and then hurriedly left the yamen to find Lin Chunxi and others.

Just when he left the Yamen archives in a hurry, there were several pairs of eyes secretly staring at him, and when he left, someone quietly followed, and Xue Lingheng, who was a little weaker in martial arts, did not perceive the danger.
