Pei Zhongze has full confidence in Zhao Ran, so Zhao Ran said how to fight, Pei Zhongze will fight, and where Zhao Ran says to fight, Pei Zhongze will not hesitate to fight.

Pei Zhongze sacrificed the bronze mirror, and the yin and yang Taiji diagram appeared above his head, and the yin and yang fish in the picture burst out of the two yixuan light, directly hitting the east three inches of the roof beam of the firewood house, and at the same time, he showed the bamboo sword and stabbed the door of the firewood room.

Zhao Ran was not idle, and the four fireworks talismans and two Weidao talismans were activated at the same time in several corners of the firewood room.

Zhao Ran stared at the firewood room, and after a while, he shouted: "Increase mana!"

Pei Zhongze's output of real power suddenly intensified, and he only heard the sound of "humming", and the firewood room in front of everyone seemed to have changed, and it seemed that there was no change at all.

Zhao Ran nodded and said, "Senior brother, you can stop it." ”

Pei Zhongze's Yin and Yang Taiji Diagram flew back to the bronze mirror, and the bamboo sword also died down, looking at Zhao Ran.

Wu Anmin sneered and whispered to his brother: "Pretend to be a ghost." ”

Wu Anxian was also inexplicable, but he glanced at his brother and signaled his brother not to be troublesome.

Zhao Ran ignored the two of them, and entered the firewood room side by side with Pei Zhongze, only to see that under the floor in the middle of the firewood room, a huge pit was exposed!

Pei Zhongze was surprised: "Phantom array?"

Zhao Ran nodded and praised: "The very clever phantom array must be used to cover up this cave, the idea of this phantom array is very good, it seems that it has not changed from the original, and it is difficult for ordinary people to find it." ”

Behind Pei Zhongze and Zhao Ran. Wu Anxian and Wu Anmin, who followed in, did not look very good, Wu Anxian looked more embarrassed, and Wu Anmin stared at the hole with a flushed face, eager to jump in immediately.

Zhao Ran didn't care much about himself, and said to a few people: "Let's find a formation." ”

The firewood room is not big, but it is quite messy inside. There was firewood, groceries, and dirt from the holes. Each of the four people was in charge of a fast area, carefully examining the objects that could be seen in front of them.

After searching for a while, Wu Anxian and Wu Anmin were the first to get up, they found nothing, and then, Pei Zhongze and Zhao Ran also found no clues.

Zhao Ran was a little uneasy about the Wu family brothers, and went to their two corners to confirm again. Wu Anmin was very unhappy, and his face, which had just calmed down, instantly turned red again: "It's just a formation plate, Daochang Zhao is not at ease?"

Zhao Ran stared at a piece of wood that Wu Anmin was stepping on under his left foot, and slowly reached out to pick it up.

The wood chips were not much different from the other wood chips in the firewood room, but in Zhao Ran's eyes, there was an extremely faint trace of the Heaven and Earth Qi Machine on this wood chip. Zhao Ran carefully observed it with the eye of the sky, and then split the wood piece vertically into two sections, in the inner circle. I happened to see a section of the formation cloud seal.

Wu Anmin stared at the wood chips blankly, his heart was blank.

Zhao Ran said softly: "Among the murderers, there are formation masters. If it weren't for the fact that Master Cai of the Jade Emperor Pavilion had instructed me in the path of formation, even I would have been deceived. ”

Pei Zhongze asked: "Is it Master Cai Yunzhong of the Jade Emperor Pavilion? Senior brother is so blessed, Master Cai is a number of formation masters in Sichuan Province, and he is a true disciple of Luo Zhenren, with his guidance, no wonder the junior brother can see this flaw." ”

This insight was indeed taken out of Master Cai's mouth by Zhao Ran. However, if Master Cai is here, he may not be able to see the flaws, after all, Zhao Ran has opened his eyes to heaven, but Master Cai does not have such talent. The reason why Zhao Ran said this was all to avoid embarrassment for the Wu brothers. As long as it is not an irresolvable enmity, he still understands the truth of accepting it when he sees it.

With a few words, Wu Anmin's face was slightly pale, and he breathed a long sigh of relief, and the anger and impatience he faced with Zhao Ran before had completely disappeared. Wu Anxian felt very good about Zhao Ran, and sincerely apologized: "Daoist Zhao has good skills, but I underestimated Daochang, and I offended him a lot before, and I hope that Daochang will forgive me." After that, he pulled Wu Anmin together and bowed to Zhao Ran deeply.

Zhao Ran smiled and turned the topic to the wood chips: "This array plate itself is nothing, it's just a simple phantom array. But to cover the real scene with the original scene, the idea is very ingenious, the most important thing is that the other party takes local materials, temporarily uses the wood chips in the firewood room to refine the array plate, and it is also a partition refining, which does not damage the external appearance of the object at all, and directly writes the cloud seal in the heart of the wood, this ability is really clever. ”

Pei Zhongze asked, "What kind of person can refine this kind of array disk?" This question is very important, and it is also the reason why Zhao Ran is not busy tracking down the tunnel and searching for the array disk.

Zhao Ran thought for a moment and said, "At least you need a monk above the mage, right?"

Pei Zhongze was silent for a moment, looked at the hole in the ground, and said to the Wu family brothers: "Please also ask the two of you to guard Lujiazhuang, and wait for Poor Dao and Senior Brother Zhao to go to chase the enemy's traces." ”

Wu Anxian and Wu Anmin shook their heads at the same time: "It's not appropriate." ”

Wu Anxian said: "My brother should go with the two Dao Masters! Although our cultivation is not high, we always grow a little strength when we have more people." ”

Wu Anmin also said: "Exactly, although the enemy is strong, my brother is not afraid, not to mention that the Lu family is my family, how can my brother sit idly by?"

Pei Zhongze said: "This place also needs to be protected, and at the same time, it must be searched and searched. Besides, Poor Dao and Senior Brother Zhao didn't want to fight with the enemy, they just wanted to investigate the traces, and if they got the definite news, they still had to ask the division commander in the hall to take action. ”

To put it mildly, he finally persuaded the Wu family brothers, Zhao Ran played a bright light talisman and went down to the hole with Pei Zhongze.

Zhao Ran and Pei Zhongze were on guard all the way, and walked in the tunnel for half an hour, and finally walked out from the other end of the tunnel.

The exit of the tunnel was hidden in a forest, which had been buried and blocked by mud, and Pei Zhongze and Zhao Ran had a lot of trouble to reopen the hole. After coming out, I looked back, and it was about two or three miles away from Lujiazhuang.

Pei Zhongze said: "It seems that we have to re-sort out the case." The murderer must have been preparing for a long time, and just looking at this tunnel is not an overnight effort. ”

Zhao Ran said: "Yes, the murderer did not enter from the main gate of Lujiazhuang, but sneaked in from the tunnel, and returned the same way after killing people." In order to cover up his whereabouts, he deliberately left Lu Jialang's life and placed him in the firewood room, but it hurt his mind, which can not only make people misunderstand, the search of the firewood room is not strict, but also ensure that the child's whereabouts are not leaked. ”

Zhao Ran said as he played a guard talisman. After a while, he pointed to the south direction and said, "It's been a long time, but the mana fluctuations have not disappeared." The murderer should have fled from this direction. ”

So the two chased due south.

It has been several days since the day of the incident, and the remnants of mana are quite thin, if it weren't for Zhao Ran's extreme sensitivity to the flow and changes of heaven and earth's qi, if someone else, let alone a yellow-crowned monk like Pei Zhongze, even if there is a mage or even a great mage, I am afraid it will be difficult to chase down.

It took more than a day to chase it out, and it was not until it was out of Shehong County that the remnants of mana were gradually eliminated, and with Zhao Ran's heavenly eye, he finally couldn't catch it.

At this moment, if the previous way of investigating the case is followed, there are actually no clues in the case, but Pei Zhongze should feel lucky, he was originally just to bring Zhao Ran in to make some contributions, and the idea of taking the opportunity to repay the favor has reaped the rewards again.

Zhao Ran had not only seen but also personally participated in the investigation of some serious cases before crossing over, and his method was unique and powerful, which was the case investigation.

Zhao Ran built yì, centered on the place where the remnants of mana disappeared, extending fifteen miles to the west, south, and east, and conducting a search-type search within this area.

This is the jurisdiction of Zhongjiang County, Tongchuan Prefecture, Pei Zhongze was unceremonious, and directly broke into the Vientiane Institute of Zhongjiang County, Daomen, and asked He Jian Yuan to transfer personnel.

He Jian Yuan did not dare to slack off, and immediately mobilized 30 Taoist priests and 40 pyrotechnic laymen from the courtyard, and almost transferred the Vientiane Academy.

Nearly 200 people were divided into dozens of teams and spread out in three directions at the same time, questioning all the households, people, shops, and even travelers in the divided area, and investigating any abnormalities on the day of the crime or the next day.

It only took two days, after comparing and analyzing a large number of inquiry records in the newspaper, Zhao Ran quickly discovered an important clue: late at night on the second day of the crime, there was a thunderstorm, and the farmer Zhang Laoshi woke up by the thunder, and then felt anxious, and was about to go out to relieve himself, but when he looked out at the rain from the crack in the door, he suddenly found that there was a man in black under the eaves of the firewood house in his yard to take shelter from the rain, so he didn't dare to go out, and he was stunned to pee in the house.

Zhao Ran immediately informed Pei Zhongze that the two of them, under the leadership of the Taoist priest of Vientiane Academy, came to the farmer Zhang Laoshi's house. (To be continued......)
