Chapter 16 Rain Gold
Inside the room, the ashes scattered and turned into dust and fell to the ground.
The burned letter lay lonely on the ground.
Chen Yutian's expression was slightly condensed, and he stretched out two fingers, gently clamped the end of the letter, and carefully picked it up.
Much of the letter has been reduced to ashes, from the remnants, even the whole word...... I can't see it.
On the side, Gongsun frowned slightly.
Judging from the situation in the room, Qin Wuxi should have left secretly after receiving the letter.
And in order not to alarm anyone in the villa, he even burned the letter directly to avoid being known by others.
I think there should be a sign in the letter asking him to go alone.
It's a pity...... The letter has been burned so much that it is impossible to confirm whether this inference is right or wrong.
Gongsun sighed softly.
Chen Yutian's expression was even more solemn, and the ominous premonition in his heart was aggravated the moment he found this letter.
"Inform everyone in the villa and search outside the villa immediately!
Hearing this, everyone was stunned!!
"Brother Chen, are you ......" Hao Qian wanted to speak and stopped, he seemed to have guessed something.
Chen Yutian nodded solemnly slightly, "Yes, that's exactly what I thought." ”
Hao Qian's expression suddenly changed.
Wu Linling and the others on the side also understood what they were talking about, and they all showed incredulous looks.
But they also couldn't ignore this matter, and after Chen Yutian's words fell, everyone left the villa one after another and went outside to search for Qin Wuxi's traces.
Gu Huang even mobilized all the maids in the villa to go out to search.
In an instant, the entire Wind and Snow Mountain Villa was dispatched.
Chen Yutian and Xuan Xi were in a group, shouting as they walked, and came to the cedar forest.
"Qin Wuxi's senior...... Qin Wuxi's predecessors ......"
The silent and empty voice reverberated in the cedar forest, and the sound was wrapped in internal force, which shocked the snow on the trees and fell!!
Xuan Xi shouted for a while, and looked at Chen Yutian with some doubts, "Yutian, do you really think that Qin Wuxi will be here?"
Chen Yutian nodded slightly, "Of course, with Qin Wuxi's current situation, what do you think can make him leave secretly without thinking about it?"
"Hmm......" Xuan Xi thought for a moment, his eyes lit up slightly, "What do you mean......"
"That's good!!" Chen Yutian nodded with a smile, "I think about it, and I think that only the truth about the deaths of Tear and Joy can make him so. So I think the letter from the other party to him should be written to want to know the truth about the death of the two of them, and go to a certain place alone. ”
"Since it's to tell the truth about death, I think the other party should find a place related to those two. Thinking about it, only this cedar forest where Le Wuhuan died is more eligible. ”
"I see. Xuan Xi nodded slightly, and then continued to shout Qin Wuxi's name with internal force.
But the two of them searched for a long time in the cedar forest, but they still couldn't find any trace of Qin Wuxi.
Chen Yutian couldn't help but wonder in his heart, could it be that his own inference was wrong? The place that the other party agreed with him was not here at all?
However, at this moment, Xuan Xi's expression condensed slightly!!
"Who?"
As soon as she drank it, the internal power of the clear shadow in her body flourished!
Chen Yutian's brows also furrowed slightly, and then Lingjue sensed a sound of breaking wind, coming from afar!
As soon as I looked at it, I saw a ray of light roaring, like tearing through the air, and the sound was amazing!
Chen Yutian hurriedly used the internal force in the palm of his hand, and reached out to grab it fiercely!
The light was immediately grasped in his hand, and then the light converged, and he saw a letter in his hand.
Chen Yutian's eyes suddenly flashed with a touch of amazement!
Being able to shoot paper items such as letters like throwing knives shows the strength of the sender's internal strength, and this kind of skill is probably not far from the sage.
After a moment of silence, he opened the letter in his hand.
On it, there are only three words written on it.
Broken Soul Cliff!
Underneath these three words is a map. It seems that the location of the Broken Soul Cliff has been marked.
"Broken Soul Cliff?" Chen Yutian muttered, groaning slightly.
Although I don't know what the intention of the person who sent the letter is, looking at the handwriting of these three words, it is not the same as the murder notice letter. At least, it's certain that this wasn't written by a night returnee.
"Could it be ......" Suddenly, his complexion changed greatly, and he pulled Xuan Xi and directly followed the map to the Broken Soul Cliff.
After a few breaths, the two arrived at their destination!
Here, they finally found the missing Qin Wuxi!
But...... After seeing the scene in front of them, Rao is two have gone through it many times, but they are still the same, and their faces have changed.
"This ...... This is ......" Xuan Xi looked shocked, and his pupils contracted.
Chen Yutian's expression slowly became gloomy.
In front of them, in a large area of white snow, a corpse that had been frozen was lying on its back to the sky.
His stagnant expression was calm, as if he didn't care about death, and a huge bloody hole pierced his body, and the snow all around him was stained red.
Chen Yutian sighed.
Qin Wuxi!
Unexpectedly, he was finally poisoned......
......
......
Gongsun gently touched the corpse and shook his head slightly.
"The corpse was a little frozen, and it was difficult to determine the exact time of death. However, depending on the temperature here, it will take at least three hours to freeze like this. ”
"Three hours, that is, he will die this afternoon at the latest?" Chen Yutian touched his chin and groaned.
Gongsun nodded.
Around, Wu Linling and the others who rushed over after hearing the news all looked at the corpses on the ground with complicated expressions.
No one thought that such a thing would happen!
He was resting in his room at noon, but he was killed in the afternoon. The murderer's movements are inevitably too fast!
Lin Dao squinted his eyes and looked around.
Lin Tao also looked around and wondered, "Dad, do you think there seems to be something strange here?"
Lin Dao glanced at his son, and his expression was slightly strange.
When did this kid become so observant?
Lin Tao was not wrong, there is indeed something strange here, and that is footprints.
The deceased died on the empty snow, and it stands to reason that there should have been at least the footprints of him and the murderer coming here and the murderer leaving around the deceased.
But there are no footprints left around here.
This could not have happened, but at this moment it was truly presented in front of everyone.
Chen Yutian also found out about this, and immediately frowned.
How exactly did the murderer do it?
Thinking about it, his gaze looked around and inadvertently landed on the side of the snow, in the blood-stained snow.
"Huh, that's ......."
As soon as Chen Yutian's expression moved, he saw that there was a strange trace in the snow stained red. It looks like a trail left by a long strip of rope or something that has been scratched.
"What is this mark? How can it be so strange?"
At this moment, Han Tong, who was conducting an autopsy with Gongsun on the side, suddenly changed his expression!
"Huh, Master, why is his belt open?"
Hearing this, the light in Chen Yutian's eyes flashed slightly, and he looked around and found that on both sides of the corpse not far away, there were just two big trees growing strongly.
"Spread belt, wait a minute, isn't it ......"
As if thinking of something, he hurried to the foot of one of the big trees, and looked at the tree opposite.
Then he circled around the trunk of the tree in front of him, as if looking for something.
"If my reasoning is correct, that thing should be on one of these two trees...... Ah, found 1"
Chen Yutian's eyes flashed, staring at a trace on the tree.
And sure enough, the loose belt, the trail of the rope slipping through the snow, and the trail...... The murderer really used that method. ”
"But why did he go to such great lengths? Couldn't he just kill the dead as he had done before, why did he have to go to such great lengths to carry the corpses here?"
Chen Yutian stared at the traces on the tree and groaned.
Above the trunk of the tree, there was a slight shade of depth, as if it had been pierced by a sharp object.
The moment he saw the traces of the rope, Chen Yutian already had a guess in his heart.
Later, the phenomenon that the deceased's belt was unexpectedly spread reminded him and confirmed his guess even more.
It wasn't until he found the traces that he finally affirmed his thoughts.
"It's just that, using that method, the normal posture of the corpse should be prone to it, why is Qin Wuxi's corpse lying on its back?"
"What the hell is going on?"
Chen Yutian frowned again.
At this time, Gongsun and Han Tong's preliminary examination of the corpse ended.
The results of the test were not satisfactory.
There is no way, the corpse is really a little frozen, just in this inspection, there are not too many clues at all, only to bring it back and thaw it first, in order to carry out a deeper examination.
So, Lin Dao and Haoqian lifted the body and prepared to take it back.
However, at the moment when the corpse was lifted, the expressions of the people around who had been paying attention to the corpse suddenly changed slightly1
"That'...... What's that?"
"Underneath the corpse, there seems to be a bloody ......"
Hearing this, Gongsun hurriedly instructed the two to carry the body away first.
Chen Yutian under the tree heard the movement and also walked over.
Before he reached the place where the corpse was lying on its back, he saw from a distance that there was a patch of snow that had been completely flattened in the place where the corpse was lying on its back.
And on top of the snow, there are two bloody big characters written!
Rain Gold!!
"Rain...... Gold...... This, what does this mean?" Wu Linling read it again, looking confused.
Hao Qian shook his head slightly and smiled bitterly, "I don't know." ”
"Could it be...... The information about the murderer that he left before he died?" Ling Ruoyin spoke, looking at the two words on the snow with a speculative tone.
The expressions of everyone in the Nine Dragons Mansion present became slightly solemn.
Death message...... But what does that mean exactly?
......
......
"Rain gold...... What do these two words mean?"
Back at the villa, Chen Yutian picked up the pen and wrote these two words on the paper, narrowing his eyes slightly.
On the side, Xuan Xi looked at it and said a little dazedly: "I don't know, but is it really a death message left by Qin Wuxi?" It looks like a code. ”
Chen Yutian nodded slightly, "It should be a code, but I don't know, what do these two words mean?"
"Could it be the name of the murderer?"
"Perhaps. Chen Yutian hesitated for a moment and nodded, without revealing this code exactly, it was difficult for him to be sure whether this contained the name of the murderer.
However, the only thing that is certain is that these two words must be related to the murderer!!
"Now I can only wait for the results of Gongsun's autopsy. There were too few clues at the scene, and the murderer did not leave any clues to expose himself, alas......"
Chen Yutian sighed slightly.
Xuan Xi also smiled slightly bitterly.
"But...... Maybe we can try our luck again in his room. ”
"Oh?"
"I think since he was in such a hurry that he didn't even have time to wait for the results of the letters that needed to be destroyed in the house, maybe there were any clues left in his room. ”
Looking at Chen Yutian's gaze, Xuan Xiqiao's face was slightly red, and she said weakly.
After hearing this, Chen Yutian's eyes suddenly flashed with a bright essence!!
"yes, why did I forget there was that place!" he slapped his thigh and stood up.
Xuan Xi was suddenly taken aback by him.
"Great, Xi'er, thanks to your reminder, I almost forgot that there is still this most critical place that has not been investigated!!" As he spoke, he took Xuan Xi's little hand and came directly to Qin Wuxi's room.
The furnishings in the room are still the same, and there is no change from before.
Chen Yutian looked around, scanning every corner of the room.
Xuan Xi looked at him, but his mind echoed from time to time, and Fang Caichen Yutian was extremely excited to praise him.
"He's finally complimenting me!!"
Xuan Xi's face bloomed with an extremely happy smile, and the whole person suddenly had a sense of brightness.
Chen Yutian inadvertently glanced at her, and he lost his mind for a while!
For some reason, he always felt that the girl in front of him was more beautiful than before.
"Could it be that this is Xi Shi in the eyes of a lover?" Chen Yutian came back to his senses, glanced at the girl slightly, and muttered to himself.
"Oops...... Now it's time to think about these times......" Chen Yutian shook his head, throwing out the distracting thoughts in his mind one after another, and scanned around the room wholeheartedly, looking for clues.
Suddenly, his gaze stopped on the bed.
Except for a few wardrobes directly opposite the door, there is only one place where you can hide things.
Chen Yutian came to the bed, stretched out his hand to open the futon, and his eyes flashed slightly.
I saw a golden invitation card quietly placed there under the futon.
It was an invitation to participate in this meeting of the Wind and Snow Villa.
Chen Yutian picked up the invitation, opened it and looked at it, and his expression suddenly changed again!!
And so it was...... It seems that the murderer's target this time should be the three of them, and it seems that they are all related to this person......"
He squinted his eyes and stared solemnly at the place where the owner's name was written on the invitation.
There, a familiar name is written:
The wind is not confused!!
