In the small alley not far from Zhou Ji Restaurant, Chen Yutian, Xue Tianhan, Ling Xiaowu and others found the last serpentine mark.

"It seems...... This should be the last one. ”

Looking at the Zhou Ji Restaurant that was faintly visible not far away, Chen Yutian's brows stretched slightly.

From Bai Fan's mouth, it can be known that before the deceased, he had appeared in front of the door of Zhouji Restaurant.

And at this moment, this strange serpentine mark was also painted all the way to the front of Zhouji Restaurant, and the relationship between the two is self-evident.

"It seems that the deceased should have been led step by step to the scene where we found the body. ”

Looking back at the road he had come to, Xue Tianhan sighed slightly.

"You're right. There is no doubt that the killer used this mark to lead the deceased to the ambush he had chosen in advance and kill him. But have you ever thought about how the murderer knew that he was bound to appear in front of Zhou Ji Restaurant?" Chen Yutian suddenly laughed.

Hearing this, Xue Tianhan was slightly stunned.

Beside him, Ling Miaoyin and the others also looked moved, and fell into a deep groan.

However, after a while, Xue Tianhan's eyes flashed, and he suddenly looked at the bamboo pole hanging with wine in Zhouji Restaurant not far away, and said with a hint of surprise: "Could it be ......?"

Chen Yutian smiled faintly and said, "It seems that Brother Xue also thought of ......"

Xue Tianhan nodded without expression, frowned slightly, and looked at the bamboo pole in front of Zhou Ji Restaurant.

The others looked at the two of them blankly.

I had no idea what kind of dumb riddle they had just played.

Xuan Xi followed Xue Tianhan's gaze and looked at the bamboo pole in front of Zhou Ji Restaurant, and suddenly there was a flash of essence in his eyes, and he exclaimed, "Could it be ...... Are you saying that the head hanging in front of Zhou Ji Restaurant is also related to this case?"

Hearing this, everyone's faces showed a look of sudden realization,

Chen Yutian smiled slightly and nodded.

"Yes, we do...... If you think about it carefully, as the surviving snake head of the Nine Snake Society, how would the deceased react if he saw the head of his former brother being hung on a bamboo pole?"

Hearing this, everyone was silent for a while.

"As a matter of common sense, if I saw my brother's head hanging in such a place, I would have taken him down first, lest my brother should suffer such humiliation when he died. Wu Dongtian thought about it and spoke.

Chen Yutian nodded, and said with a slight smile: "Yes, most people think like this, so when they see this scene, they will definitely subconsciously come over to see what is going on." And this is exactly what the murderer is aiming for. ”

"You mean...... The murderer hung the head here just to attract the deceased to this place, so that he could discover the mark he had left behind, so as to lead it to the scene of the crime in Fang Cai?" Wu Dongtian touched his chin and pondered for a while, and said slightly.

"Not bad. Chen Yutian nodded.

"If this is the case, then this mark must have an extraordinary effect, otherwise the deceased would not have obediently walked along the mark as soon as he saw it. "It's cold in the snow.

"Makes sense. Wu Dongtian nodded.

Moreover, from this aspect, it can be inferred that the murderer who hangs the head and the murderer should be the same person. Ling Miaoyin said.

"Exactly. But the question at the moment is, we don't know exactly what this mark is, and why did the deceased, after seeing it, go unsuspecting into the trap laid by the murderer?"

Chen Yutian narrowed his eyes slightly.

At this moment, he found that Ling Xiaowu and the others in Taiyi Tianfu on the side were all looking at the imprints on the wall and pondering, and they didn't know what they thought.

"Alright, it's useless to just stand here and dream, let's go back to the scene. ”

After a moment, Chen Yutian withdrew his gaze and spoke to everyone who were frowning.

"Okay, I think Gongsun's side should have completed the preliminary autopsy, let's hear what conclusions he has on his side first. ”

Ling Miaoyin agreed and nodded.

Xue Tianhan also nodded.

Immediately, everyone followed the original path and returned to the remote alley that was inaccessible......

......

......

On the green mountain, the four ancestors of the green-robed man moved slightly, and his eyes looked at the cave release machine in front of him.

Shi Dong Ji's expression was calm, looking at the four ancestors in front of him whose skills were much higher than his own, but there was no half of the color in his eyes, and he was always unwavering.

"What do you want to say?"

"Fourth Ancestor, my subordinates have been thinking about it for a long time, and they always feel that this whole thing is full of weirdness, especially those things about Yue Lingxiao. ”

"Oh, is there anything wrong with Yue Lingxiao?"

The fourth ancestor's expression did not change, looked at the cave release machine, and asked.

"The adults must have also discovered that Yue Lingxiao's attitude and style of acting before and after are completely different, and they are even completely like two people. "The cave release machine said.

"Yes, what do you want to say?" the Fourth Ancestor nodded slightly.

"My subordinates think that it will be possible to ......" Speaking of this, the words of the cave release machine were suddenly paused, and then his expression moved, and he actually cast a beam of sound into a line and transmitted the sound to the four ancestors.

And after hearing his words, the four ancestors' expressions changed!

"Are you serious?"

"I'm not completely sure, but it's a 90% chance. The cave release machine nodded, "And if things are really as I expected, then Cai Xiang and Zhang Yong's trip is probably more auspicious!"

Hearing this, the Fourth Ancestor nodded slightly.

"It's okay, my two minds have already lodged on the two of them, and even if they both die, I should be able to know the location of the last remnant. ”

Hearing this, the expression of the cave machine moved.

"It seems that the ancestor has already planned, but the subordinates are not worried, since this is the case, the subordinates are waiting for the good news of the ancestors. ”

"The subordinates retired first. ”

With that, the cave release machine then turned and left.

The fourth ancestor looked at the back of him leaving, and there was a slight ray of strange light in his eyes, and after a while, he suddenly said in a loud voice: "Since you are here, why don't you show up and see it?" Are you still afraid that I will not be able to ask you for money?"

The moment the words fell, a laugh suddenly came.

"Haha...... Of course I'm scared, after all, you're my biggest creditor, and I'm afraid of asking me for a debt. ”

The fourth ancestor also smiled rarely.

"Don't come, I don't know your temperament yet, I see that you never wanted to pay back my money......"

"Haha...... Those who know me, it's really you......"

Before the words fell, a pure figure came by the wind, with a hearty smile, stepped into the air, and came to the top of the green mountain.

"Friend, I've seen you for a long time......"

The person who came was dressed in white hair and white clothes, wearing a Taoist crown, pedaling road boots, holding a white whisk, as if the Nine Heavens Immortal had descended, and smiled loudly at the four ancestors on the green mountain.

The Four Ancestors stood up from the top of the rock.

Li Ge looked at the coming figure, wrinkled his face bitterly, and then bowed respectfully: "I've seen Lord Eight Ancestors!!"

The white-clothed Taoist Eighth Ancestor smiled slightly, then reached out and touched Lige's head, and said with a smile: "Good ...... Here, here you go. ”

As he spoke, a candy suddenly appeared in his hand.

Li Ge frowned and hesitantly took the candy from the Eight Ancestors' hands.

Seeing this, the Eighth Ancestor couldn't help but smile and said, "What's the matter? Don't you like it? Then I'll bring other flavors next time." ”

Lige looked at the four ancestors with a bitter face.

The Fourth Ancestor smiled slightly and said to the Eighth Ancestor: "He just doesn't like you to still treat him as a child, after all, he is already fifteen years old." ”

"Isn't fifteen years old still an adult? Why aren't you a child?" said the Eighth Ancestor as he touched his forehead.

Hearing this, the four ancestors were slightly speechless.

Lige looked at the Eight Ancestors and said, "But...... Lord Bazu, this kind of candy is something that only children who are seven or eight years old like, and I am already fifteen years old, so of course I will not like it. ”

"I see, then I think I'll ask what kids your age like next time......"

The Eight Ancestors suddenly realized.

After hearing this, the four ancestors were even more speechless.

"Are you here for me, or are you here to find Lige?"

"Of course...... Find yours. The Eighth Ancestor smiled slightly, then touched Lige's head, and walked to the Fourth Ancestor and sat down.

The fourth ancestor was even more speechless.

"Since it's not to repay the debt, then what are you looking for me?"

"You're so ruthless...... Am I looking for you only to pay off my debts? can't I get in touch with the feelings?"

"Until you pay off the debt you have eaten and drunk with me, there is no affection between us. ”

"Uh......" The Eighth Ancestor looked at the Fourth Ancestor and was stunned for a while.

"Uh...... You're not serious, are you?"

The fourth ancestor glanced at him helplessly.

Seeing the Fourth Ancestor with such a look, the Eighth Ancestor immediately smiled.

"I know that you will never be so ruthless, okay, I won't joke with you, I didn't come to eat and drink again, but I received a secret order from the sect leader to help you. ”

"Help me?"

The Fourth Ancestor was slightly stunned for a moment, and then spoke: "The task of the Wind Clan's Holy Land was originally assigned to me by the Sect Master, could it be that the Sect Master felt that my ability was not enough to take on this responsibility, so he sent you?"

The Eighth Ancestor shook his head slightly. ？

"No, no. It's not because of that, I wonder if you've ever heard of the legend of the Wind and Rain Clan?"

"Oh?"

Hearing this, the fourth ancestor paused slightly, and there was a sudden hint of doubt in his expression.

......

......

"Mr. Gongsun, how is the autopsy?"

Chen Yutian returned to the scene, looked at Gongsun who was standing in the corner of the wall and looked at the serpentine mark, and asked.

Gongsun nodded.

"The preliminary autopsy has ended. The inferred time of death should be half an hour ago, and the cause of death is the same as before, which is that he was first hit by the Heart-Destroying Sword Qi, and then he was beheaded by a sharp weapon and died. In addition, as for the poison needle you found on the corpse, I have carefully examined it, and I have not detected any poison reaction on it, so I can be sure that there should be no poison on it. ”

"No quenching poison?" Huo Yuanji frowned slightly, "If there is no quenching poison on the silver needle, then why is there a silver needle on the deceased's body?"

Gongsun shook his head slightly, and said: "This is also what I can't figure out at the moment, obviously the deceased died under the heart-destroying sword qi, but there are silver needles inserted in his body, and he has not restrained the deceased from any big acupoints, which is really a bit strange." ”

"Could it be a hidden weapon similar to the Rainstorm Pear Flower Needle?" Ling Xiaowu proposed.

"After all, hidden weapons such as the Rainstorm Pear Flower Needle never win with poison, but with a large number, could it be that the murderer used this kind of hidden weapon, and the deceased failed to dodge one of them when he dodged the huge number of flying needles, and was pierced in his body?"

When everyone heard this, they groaned slightly.

"This should be given unlikely. "It was not the people of the Kowloon Mansion who spoke, but Liu Huangcui.

"If it is that type of hidden weapon, if so many needles are shot out, there should be corresponding traces left at the scene, but there are no other traces of battle at the scene except for sword scratches, so it can be seen that the murderer should not have used that kind of thing. ”

Chen Yutian and Gongsun nodded slightly.

Chen Yutian said: "We will discuss this matter later, Gongsun, please continue." ”

Gongsun nodded and continued: "In addition, I found a token representing the snake head of the Nine Snake Society in the clothes of the deceased, and according to the token, it is inferred that this person should be the third snake head of the Nine Snake Society. Also, I found something strange in his clothes. ”

As he spoke, Gongsun took out a broken piece of jade from his arms.

"It's ......"

Everyone looked at the jade slip and looked at each other, no one knew what this thing was.

"Look at the lines on it...... It seems to be an inscription artifact from the Holy Martial Era......" Chen Yutian muttered slightly.

"Yes, it's an inscription artifact. Gongsun nodded.

"However, this kind of magic weapon is very rare in today's martial arts, even a force like our Taiyi Tianfu, there is inevitably one inside, how can there be such a thing on his body?"

Yu Xiaoxiao's eyebrows frowned slightly, and a look of worry swept her eyes.

On the side, Lin Feifei suddenly spoke: "The focus now should not be on why he has this thing on his body, but to figure out what the function of this thing is......

Chen Yutian nodded, "Not bad." ”

He looked at Lin Feifei, his eyes suddenly flashed, and he asked, "Miss Lin, I remember that when you were in the Sealing Dragon Palace, you once fused the memories of the ancestors of the Sealing Dragon Clan, I think there should be information about this thing in that memory, right?"

"Not bad!"

Lin Feifei nodded, "I have already investigated the memories of our ancestors, and learned that this thing is called Destiny Jane, which is an extremely ordinary inscription artifact in the Shengwu Era, and the function is that when someone drops their own essence blood on it, when their life ends, this jade slip will be shattered, so as to notify others." ”

"In the Holy Martial Era, as long as there was a small scale of martial arts family, its family disciples would have such a piece of jade and place it in the ancestral hall, as long as a family disciple died, they could immediately know. In addition, the life slip also has the ability to communicate, which can transmit the last words of the deceased back to the family so that everyone in the family can know. ”

After hearing this, Chen Yutian looked at the broken jade slip in Gongsun's hand and said, "According to what the girl said, now this piece of life slip has been shattered, which means that it ...... The man who drips blood on it is dead...... And it was found from the deceased...... This life should belong to the deceased. And what he will have is supposed to be given by the Heaven Covering Sect behind it. ”

Gongsun nodded slightly: "It should be good!"

The rest of the crowd also nodded slightly.

But at this moment, Ling Xiaowu on the side suddenly asked, "Brother Chen, what exactly is the Heaven Covering Sect in your mouth? Why have we never heard of such a force in the rivers and lakes?" ”

Hearing this, Chen Yutian was suddenly stunned.

Just now he actually forgot that the Heaven Covering Sect belonged to the secret of the Sage, and it was impossible for ordinary martial arts people to know about it, and he and the others had more understanding from the Four Sages because they had been in contact with them many times, and Ling Xiaowu and the others did not have anyone from the Holy Realm, so naturally they had no way of knowing.

But he just forgot about it...... He blurted out the secret of this sage directly!

Now Ling Xiaowu and the others opened their mouths to inquire, but he didn't know whether he should tell them the truth or not.
