Last night, Xiao Jinan sent someone to say that he would not go home, and he did not send anyone to his home tonight to spread the word, so Liu Yingluo guessed that Xiao Jinan would go home, so he waited in the hall, and was happy to see Xiao Jinan come back.

"Jinan, I'm back!"

"Immortal Chief, come, please inside!"

Xu Mo felt a headache again, he did enjoy the pleasure of them calling himself an immortal at first, but now, he was repulsed in his eyes, raised his eyebrows, Xu Mo responded with a smile, and did not enter the middle hall, but went back to the house first.

"Hey, the immortal chief is not angry with me!" When Xu Mo walked away, Liu Yingluo muttered.

Xiao Jinan said with a smile, "Where would the immortal chief be angry with you, it's just that on the way back, we met the murderer who captured the shadow, he took away Miss Yue's shadow, and now Miss Yue is unconscious." ”

"Ah!" Liu Yingluo was unexpected, and screamed.

"Well, let's go and prepare dinner!"

When eating tonight, Xu Mo didn't come to the hall, his meal was sent by Ping'er, after eating, Xu Mo wandered around the room, saw the sleeping Yue Linlang, and kept sighing, even if a few suspects could be identified now, Xu Mo was still very worried about her.

"I'd better practice more swordsmanship, otherwise there will be more danger!" Xu Mo realized the seriousness of the problem, walking the rivers and lakes, he must have a skill, he originally wanted to practice swordsmanship, but the hateful thing is that since the thirteen and Ziqing Butterfly Sword met, they have been flying in the sky, and now they don't know where to fly at all, he can only recall practicing some immortal methods, as for the content on the seventy-seven forty-nine blank papers, it is not too late to practice in the future, sit cross-legged and meditate, the immortal method left by Chi Jingyuan is arranged and arranged page after page like a book in his mind, and the first thing that consciousness perceives is that the five elements are used to decide, and when he cultivates to perfection, he can arbitrarily master and drive the five elements of heaven and earth。

"Since it's gold, wood, water, fire, and earth, let's start cultivating with gold first, and besides, if you cultivate well and use the gold technique, maybe it will also help Edgeworth. Xu Mo sat cross-legged, exhaling clear air, gradually, the body became very light, as if slightly leaning, he could fly to the sky, and the body became thorough, closed his eyes, he could see his body skeleton and the acupuncture points and veins attached to the skeleton, practice to seek immortals, the so-called realm of the saying, in fact, is mainly measured by the color state of the bones and muscles and veins, it is said that the practice to the peak, the skeleton acupuncture points and the tendons and veins are all integrated, all transparent, such as white ice, like crystal.

In addition, half an inch above his lower abdomen, there were four golden talismans neatly arranged.

"What's that?"

"Let's wait and ask Miss Yue later. ”

In this way, Xu Mo sat quietly all night, until dawn, pushed open the door, when the breeze outside the house hit, he suddenly felt refreshed, energetic, and stretched his waist differently, just at this time, Ping'er asked Xu Mo to go to eat breakfast, after eating, he seriously sorted out the recent case with Xiao Jinan, Xu Mo tapped the edge of the bowl with chopsticks, and said in no hurry" In fact, it is very clear now that the reason why the murderer attacked the junior sister last night and took away her shadow was nothing more than that he was afraid that the junior sister would pose a threat to him, and when he talked to the junior sister yesterday, except for you and me, there were only Qin Hansheng, Yu Wanquan and He Sheng, and Lord Xiao thought that which of them was the murderer. ”

"They...... The three of them, I don't think they look like them. ”

Xu Mo sighed, "The topic we are talking about now is whether it is or not, not whether it is like or not. ”

Xiao Jinan scratched his head and thought, "Qin Hansheng has always been diligent in his affairs in the state government, it can never be him, and as for the captain of the fish guard, he is also ......."

"And what about Who?"

"He Sheng is even more impossible, he is a weak doctor who is powerless. ”

"Your Excellency, your Excellency. ”

When the two were talking, Su Ruhai ran over and said in a panic, "My lord, there is news from the state government, saying that there is a fire in Zhang Gui's house, and there is a sea of fire at this moment. ”

"Ah, it seems that the murderer has done it again, but he has already killed Zhang Gui, why is he setting fire to his house at this moment?"

Xu Mo snapped his fingers and said, "I'm afraid I'm worried that we will find some clues and evidence of collusion between him and Zhang Gui in the Zhang family, so let's strike first and set the fire on fire, Lord Xiao, let's go over and take a look." ”

"Okay, Immortal Please. ”

Si Pingwei's men and horses have already surrounded the Zhang family, don't look at Zhang Gui is just a small official in charge of the state office, the scale of his mansion can be compared with Hua Bo'an, the county official of Yunhai County, the bigger the mansion, the bigger the fire will burn, when Xu Mo and Xiao Jinan arrived, they saw that in addition to the scorched bricks, they were still scorched bricks.

"Search again and see if there is anyone alive!"

"Yes!"

Xiao Jinan instructed Si Pingwei to go and search, while he and Xu Mo waited for news, in fact, Xu Mo knew in his heart that even if he searched, he might only find a few scorched corpses, and it was basically impossible to leave anything in the sea of fire.

"Alas, Zhang Gui's mansion is big, it's not easy to search, it seems that the governance level of Changqing Prefecture is good, and a small state government clerk can live in such a spacious courtyard. ”

Xiao Jinan naturally heard the faint ridicule in Xu Mo's words, and didn't know what to say, so he simply kept silent, pretending not to understand the deep meaning, in fact, Xiao Jinan is a capable and good official, but in the past half a year, because of family affairs, it is inevitable that he will not be able to do government affairs.

"Dang!"

"Clank!"

"Hold him and stop. ”

Suddenly, there was a sound of fighting from the messy courtyard burning behind, Xu Mo and Xiao Jinan ran over, and saw Si Pingwei's guards fighting with a man in black, although the martial arts of the man in black were above the guards, but there were many guards, as the saying goes, two fists are hard to beat four hands, and soon the man in black was defeated and was captured by the guards.

"Stop, dare to cut off your head again!"

On the neck of the knife holder, he finally subdued the man in black, and then it was Xiao Jinan's time, he walked to the front with his hands behind his back and said, "Let me ask you, who are you, why are you in the Zhang family, is it you who set the fire, is it you who has plundered the shadow of the state people recently?"

The man in black hung his head and said nothing.

"You thief, you don't care if you say it or not, today it falls into the hands of this official, and you have to say it if you don't say it. Frightened, Xiao Jinan took out the hood and face towel of the man in black, that is, at that moment, Xiao Jinan was stunned, his breathing became tight, and the black cloth in his hand fell to the ground in surprise, and said in disbelief, "You...... Why you, I really didn't expect it. ”

The people around Si Pingwei were also shocked, and the long knife in the hand of the guard, who originally looked radiant after holding the knife to subdue the man in black, subconsciously retracted.

"Fish head?"

"How could it be a fish head?"

Yes, the man in black is the captain of the Si Ping Guard, Yu Wanquan, and yesterday morning when Yue Linlang recounted the shadow stealing technique in the public court, he was indeed there, with his identity, he could indeed grasp the direction of the investigation of the case at any time, Xiao Jinan didn't know what to say, the former Si Ping Guard Captain stepped down, and when he faced many successor candidates, he tried his best to promote him, and now Yu Wanquan made such a shocking and weird case, he didn't expect it, and even said that he never dreamed of it.

"My lord, since the matter has come to this, I have nothing to hide, yes, it is me who stole Niu Yingping's shadow, you can catch me!"

"I didn't expect it, I really didn't expect that the murderer would be you!" Xiao Jinan's voice trembled.

At this moment, Xu Mo suddenly said, "Of course the murderer is not him. ”

"No, the murderer is me. Yu Wanquan shouted.

Xu Mo denied again, "I said that the murderer is not you. ”

"No, it's me!"

The people next to him, including Xiao Jinan, were dumbfounded, and the people investigating the case encouraged that the person he saw with his own eyes was not the murderer, and the person who was caught in the net emphasized that he was the murderer in this situation, and the two of them were like arguing, similar incidents, they had never seen them before, and Xu Mo shook his head and sighed, "Okay, Captain Yuwei, since you said that you are a murderer, okay, I will stand in front of you, come, you do it, take away my shadow." ”

"You ......" Yu Wanquan's face turned pale, and he said in a flash, "Since I have already been found out by you, why do you use that evil magic again." ”

"I think, are you not?" Xu Mo smiled, picked up a knife left on the ground, handed it to Yu Wanquan, did not say anything, simply gestured with his eyes, although Yu Wanquan did not understand what medicine was sold in his gourd, he still reached out to catch it, and when he took it, it was his left hand, after he took the knife, Xu Mo stopped talking nonsense, and immediately said, "Lord Xiao, quickly send someone to block the whole city, strictly check the entry and exit of pedestrians, and arrest He Sheng, in addition, Niu Yingping's wife Niu Shi must also be arrested." ”

"Ah!" Xiao Jinan was stunned.

"Hurry up!" Xu Mo had to scold.

"Oh, quick, quick, what are you still doing in a daze, hurry up and do what the fairy chief says. ”

"Yes!"

The guards took the order and left.

"Stop, come back, come back to me, come and arrest me, I am the murderer, I am the murderer, it has nothing to do with Dr. He. Yu Wanquan shouted, rushed up, tore Xu Mo's collar, and shouted, "I'm the murderer, I'm the murderer." ”

"Shut up, I said it a long time ago, you're not!"

"Captain Fishguard, please calm down. Sure enough, Xiao Jinan, as a superior, spoke usefully, and drank all the noisy fish with one sound.

"Alas. Xu Mo sighed and said, "Captain Yuwei, you are a murderer, why don't you use the shadow capture technique when you are just arrested, if you use the shadow capture technique, wouldn't the chance of escaping be greater, and also, try to ask where there is a murderer who does not leave after setting the fire, and stays at the scene and waits for being caught, the most critical point is that when you fought with the guards under your hand just now, I found that you were left-handed, and Zhang Gui's wound was clearly a fatal wound stabbed with his right hand." ”

"Whoosh!"

"Bang!" Immediately after Xu Mo's words fell, a wisp of fireworks shot up from the ground at the east gate of the city, blooming in the air, even in broad daylight, the fireworks still looked extraordinarily bright.

"Si Pingwei's signal to request reinforcements!"

Xiao Jinan and Yu Wanquan said in unison.

"Let's go, let's hurry over, He Sheng has a strange technique, and Si Pingwei's guards are afraid that they are not his opponents. Running out two steps, Xu Mo turned his head and stared at Yu Wanquan, and said meaningfully, "No matter what, the people who are desperate with He Sheng there are all your Si Pingwei's brothers." ”

After speaking, Xu Mo didn't bother to say more, pulled out the arrow and walked in the direction of the fireworks, Yue Linlang's shadow was still in He Sheng's hands, he had to take it back.
