Xu Mo smiled and said, "In fact, it is very simple to eliminate suspicion and determine the final direction of investigation. ”

Xu Mo's voice fell, He Sheng picked up the medicine box and said, "Everyone, I still have some things in the pharmacy, so I'll go back first, I'll check the ancient books again when I go back, and see if I can find some clues, in addition, there is a doctor Hu in Wandefang in the west of the city, I have negotiated with him before, his ancestors specialize in diagnosing all kinds of strange diseases, maybe he can provide some useful help." ”

"Okay, thank you Mrs. He, this official still needs to sort out the case, so I won't send it far. ”

"Lord Xiao, please stop. ”

He Sheng left, the fish were all right, Qin Hansheng felt that Xu Mo and Yue Linlang were there, and it was none of their business, so he also retired, Xu Mo turned to look at Yue Linlang and said, "Actually, if you can be sure that it is a shadow stealing technique, then there is no need to go to that Hu Taifu again, Linlang, do you know if there is any way to make them wake up." ”

"I ......"

Yue Linlang's face turned red and said, "I heard Master talk about the tricks that specialize in cracking the shadow stealing technique, but the cultivation is not enough, so I am not sure." ”

"What do you need to do?" Xiao Jinan said with concern.

Yue Linlang sorted out his thoughts and said, "If you want to recruit shadows, you need to gather the people who have lost their shadows, cooperate with specific runes and spells, and open the altar. ”

"Open...... Open the altar!"

Not only Xiao Jinan, but Xu Mo was incredibly surprised.

Scratching his head, Xu Mo said, "The key now is not to let the victim wake up, that is too passive, we should take the initiative to find the murderer, otherwise there will be more victims." After a little thought, Xu Mo continued, "Lord Xiao, I would like to meet the person in charge of managing the household registration of the state government and ask him a few words. ”

"This ...... Okay, Immortal Chief, wait a minute, I'll call someone to summon me. ”

Xu Mo leaned against the pillar of the hall and waited patiently, and after a while, the person who ran to summon hurriedly ran back, very panicked, and almost tripped in front of the door due to impatience when he entered the door.

"What's going on, what kind of system is panicking. ”

"My lord, Zhang Gui is dead!"

"What are you talking about!" Xiao Jinan's face suddenly turned pale and shouted in a lost voice.

Zhang Gui in the mouth of the herald is the person who is responsible for managing the household registration of the people, Xiao Jinan went to Zhang Gui's office in a messy footwork, Xu Mo and Yue Linlang followed, and came to the study, about the state and county records of Changqing Prefecture and the copywriting, all sealed in this fast, Zhang Gui was fully responsible, when they arrived, the news had not yet spread, and there was no one else at the scene, Xiao Jinan made the right decision and said, "Block the news, don't tell anyone." ”

"Yes!"

The state official who reported the report replied in time, Xu Mo approached the dead Zhang Gui, squatted down to check, and found that Zhang Gui did not lose his shadow like the previous few people, he died under the sharp knife, and the blood flowed into a large pool, which was almost coagulated, but the blood at the wound was still a little warm.

"Ahem......"

Yue Linlang is full of immortal arts, different from mortals, but when he sees blood, he still can't bear it, and he turns his head and doesn't dare to look at it, because the feeling of retching is not comfortable.

"Alas, Lord Xiao, it seems that you don't need to check the fortune teller on the street, the governor's birthday, it must have been leaked by Zhang Gui to the murderer, and now the murderer knows that we will follow the vine, so the first strike is strong, and the vine is cut off. ”

"Yes...... But how did the murderer know that we had to investigate according to the clue of household registration. Xiao Jinan was in a hurry, and he didn't know what to do at all.

"Maybe the killer was there when we were talking in the courtroom, or maybe he was eavesdropping outside the window. Xu Mo shook his head, he couldn't understand how he sat in the governor's position, could it be that Xiao Jinan was indeed a smart person before, but he was so tired because of his daughter's recent work that Xu Mo had to grit his teeth and tear open Zhang Gui's clothes, to carefully examine his wounds, and saw that he was killed with a knife, clean and neat, leaving no room for Zhang Gui's life at all, measuring the length of the wound with his fingers, Xu Mo concluded that the knife in his hand was wider than the common knife, and he opened his thumb and index finger to carefully measure and measure, and it was actually the same width as the blade officially configured by Si Pingwei。

"Could it be ......?"

"Alas, Lord Xiao, things are not simple, let's block the news first. ”

"Hmm. Xiao Jinan nodded.

In the evening, Xiao Jinan still plans to stay in the state office, Xu Mo sighed in his heart that this governor is diligent in his work, and he is indeed a rare good official, but it is inevitable that there are common problems that other scholars also have, that is, scholars are weak and courageous, have ink in their chests and have no good plans, and they are easy to get tired when encountering problems, and the result is to maintain a balance through self-strengthening work, but it is also time-consuming, and when there is still half a street away from Xiao Mansion, the sky is slightly dark, and the sky is full of stars.

"Alas, Lord Xiao, don't you know, Mrs. Xiao cooked a lot of good meals and dishes last night, but you didn't go, it's a pity. ”

Xiao Jinan smiled tiredly and said, "Alas, I am a person who is anxious and a little childish, there is no good plan for trouble, it is inevitable to be anxious, I stayed in the state government last night, and I didn't make any progress in my fart, but I lost sleep all night and never closed my eyes." ”

"Whoosh!"

"Be careful!" Yue Linlang sensed the murderous aura, pulled out the butterfly double sword on his waist, and protected it in front of Xu Mo and Xiao Jinan, almost at the same time as she drew the sword, a long shadow flew out of the alley in front of her, and swept straight towards this side.

"Purple and green twin shadows!" Yue Linlang swung his arms straight, his five fingers were spread, the purple and green twin swords in his hand gave birth to a dazzling light, and flew towards the ghost, the speed of the purple and green butterfly double swords was so fast that it was difficult to distinguish with the naked eye, but the speed of the black shadow was even faster, he avoided the double sword in the blink of an eye, and then fixed his eyes to see, the phantom had already floated in front of the three people, his hands were interlocked, the five fingers were in harmony, and the movements in his hands matched the spell at the corner of his mouth, and the dark blue Xuanguang was pointed at the three of them.

"Leave!" Yue Linlang pushed his palms and pushed Xiao Jinan and Xu Mo away, he was hit by the Xuanguang, Xu Mo clearly saw that Yue Linlang's shadow was pulled out by the Xuanguang, and slowly left his body and moved deeper into the alley.

"Hey, come back, come back. Xu Mo shouted, rushed forward and glared angrily, "Give back Miss Yue's shadow." ”

The shadow in the darkness was like a ghost from hell, and his voice was grim, "Don't worry, don't worry, soon, your shadow will follow." ”

Xu Mo, who didn't have much courage to shout, saw Yue Linlang's shadow being taken away by Xuanguang, and the heroism of the man in his heart completely exploded, not only speaking hard, but also his legs were not shaking.

"Lord Xiao, take Yue...... Take my sister to go first, and I'll deal with him. ”

"No, Immortal Chief, I'll go to the state government to call someone to catch this murderer!"

"Who's it, get out of here. ”

"No one can leave, everyone has to die!"

The phantom suddenly grabbed Xu Mo's throat, and plundered Xu Mo's shadow in another way, only to see his other hand covering the top of Xu Mo's head and sucking it out, Xu Mo's shadow actually stood upright from the ground and flowed towards his palm.

"Not good!"

"Ten...... Thirteen, thirteen!" Xu Mo hadn't had time to practice how to control the sword thirteen with his wrist as Chi Jingyuan said, and he had no choice but to keep calling its name.

"Thirteen, thirteen!"

The shadow didn't care at all, he only thought that Xu Mo was muttering stupidly, and just when he was about to succeed in plundering Xu Mo's shadow with his close-quarters capture, the inky black mark on Xu Mo's wrist once again showed his might, and the thirteen breaking winds with no handle, no sheath, and only a six-inch sword blade were like a whistle, like electricity.

"Ahh

"I'll let you go tonight!" The shadow could clearly feel that Sword Thirteen, both in power and speed, was far above the butterfly purple and blue twin swords, and the corners of his mouth moved into a spell, turning into smoke and disappearing.

"Don't run. Xu Mo rushed over, the wind brought up by the wind dispersed the dust in place, and he pounced into the air, the moonlight just sprinkled like frost, and on the ground, a few blood stains were particularly eye-catching, it seemed that Jian Thirteen failed to keep him, but he was also injured a lot.

"Looks like you still can't sit still!"

Xiao Jinan, who was going to go back to the state government to find a helper, looked at the six roads and listened to the eight directions, and walked over cautiously and said, "Immortal... Immortal Chief, Miss Yue, she's okay. ”

"The shadow is gone, and it seems that they will have to sleep forever like Niu Yingping. ”

"What then?"

"What else can I do, find the murderer and reclaim the shadow. Xu Mo exhaled a long breath and said, "It seems that my guess is not bad, Zhang Gui, who is in charge of the household registration of your state government, has colluded with the murderer, when we investigated Zhang Gui, Zhang Gui was killed, and now, he has attacked us again, it seems that the murderer is very clear about our actions." ”

Xiao Jinan's eyes lit up, and he said, "The reason why he took away Miss Yue's shadow is because he knows that Miss Yue is familiar with shadow stealing techniques, and he is afraid that Miss Yue will be unfavorable to him." ”

"That's good!" Xu Mo sighed secretly in his heart, the governor finally returned to Zhuge Liang.

"But he can prey on shadows out of nowhere, why should he ......?"

Alas, it's only three seconds to be smart, and it's stupid again, isn't it?

Xu Mo said, "Yue... Didn't my sister say that if you want to capture the shadow in the air, the premise is to know the birth dates of these individuals, and he only has the information of the people of Changqing Prefecture in his hands, and there is no birth date of me and my sister, so of course, we have to face to face. ”

"I see, I see. ”

"Alas!" Xu Mo sighed, picked up Yue Linlang and said, "Let's go, go back first, let's slowly sort out our thoughts, the murderer will surface soon!" What gave Xu Mo a headache was that this time Sword Thirteen did not return to his wrist, but flew side by side with the Ziqing Butterfly Twin Swords, following them, the more Xu Mo looked at it, the more he felt that there would be ambiguity between this sword and the sword.
