The fire in the mourning hall is burning.

Two days of figures flew by, stopping in front of the raging fire.

"How can it catch fire?" said Yuyao.

Jiang Yuhuo's face was cold, and the flames jumped in his eyes, "What do you mean by this?"

Yu Xiaoyao said: "I mean, why did this fire burn at this time?"

Jiang Yuhuo immediately understood, "You mean, someone is destroying corpses?"

Yu said freely: "I'm afraid that someone doesn't want me to see Old Man Xu for the last time." ”

Jiang Yuhuo said: "The person who set the fire may naturally be the murderer." ”

Yu Xiaoyao said leisurely: "Xue Qing can only use a sword, not a fire." ”

"Not necessarily. Jiang Yuhuo said, "This fire may not have been set by him." ”

Yu Xiaoyao suddenly said: "You seem to have a deep prejudice against Xue Qing?"

Jiang Yuhuo said: "I don't have any prejudices against him, I just rely on evidence to speak." ”

Yu Xiaoyao pointed to the spirit hall and said, "Your evidence is going to be burned now." ”

"Then what are you going to do?" Jiang Yuhuo asked.

Yu Xiaoyao looked around and saw a large vat with lotus flowers in the courtyard, he swept over, jumped into the vat with a thud, and jumped out of the vat drenched, with a lotus leaf on his head.

Jiang Yuhuo looked at him dumbfounded: "Are you crazy?!What are you going to do here?"

Yu Xiaoyao smiled slightly and said, "I'll go and pick up Master Xu." ”

As he spoke, he was wrapped in his drenched clothes and rushed headlong into the fire.

Jiang Yuhuo looked at his back blankly, suddenly gritted his teeth, stomped his feet hard, and also learned from the jade carefree way to get himself wet, turned around and rushed into the raging fire.

He thought he must be crazy too.

There was smoke everywhere, fire everywhere, crackling and burning everywhere.

He even wondered if he had fallen into hell.

In the thick smoke of the fire, he could no longer make out the direction, let alone go to find Jade Xiaoyao.

There was a tooth-aching cracking sound from the burning sound, and he suddenly felt a blazing flame coming towards his top door, and before he could think about it, he rolled on the ground, and before he could stand firmly, he heard a crisp click, and a burning beam broke in two behind him.

A hand suddenly reached out from the side and grabbed him by the shoulder.

Jiang Yuhuo was shocked and wanted to fight back.

But the hand apparently didn't give him a chance to fight back, and he picked him up, and he felt his body light, and with a clatter, he smashed through the burning window and flew from the inside of the house to the outside.

Jiang Yuhuo rolled on the ground, taking the opportunity to get rid of the control of that hand, and before he could stand up, he had reached out and pulled out the long sword at his waist.

"If I were you, I wouldn't draw my sword. Yu Xiaoyao said as he bent over and coughed.

Jiang Yuhuo put away his sword in a daze, "It turned out to be you, I thought..."

Yu Xiaoyao straightened up and said with a straight face: "Why do you think it's a ghost?"

Jiang Yuhuo snorted coldly and changed the subject, "Did you see the coffin?"

Yu Xiaoyao wiped the cigarette ash from his face and nodded.

"How?" Jiang Yuhuo asked eagerly.

Yu Xiaoyao smiled bitterly, "The whole coffin is burning, and there is really nowhere to start." ”

Uncle Xu hurriedly came in from outside, followed by a large group of young people, as soon as he saw Yu Xiaoyao and Jiang Yuhuo, he hurriedly shouted: "Two sons, are you all right?!"

Jiang Yuhuo greeted him and said, "Uncle Xu, what are you doing?"

Uncle Xu pointed to the young man behind him who was setting up a water hose to pump water to extinguish the fire, and said, "I saw that there was a fire, so I went to find the water dragon team." ”

Yu Xiaoyao also walked over and asked, "Then have you ever seen the person who set the fire?"

Uncle Xu shook his head and said, "I just came back from the backyard and saw thick smoke, and when I came closer, I found that the fire was already very big, so I hurriedly ran to find the water dragon team." ”

It took half a day for the water dragon team to finally extinguish the fire in the mourning hall, the front of the mourning hall was filled with water vapor, damp and hot, and the black and gray dirty water overflowed on the stone slabs.

Yu Xiaoyao and Jiang Yuhuo walked into the mourning hall where the residual heat had not subsided, and stood in front of the coffin that had been burned to pitch black.

"If you want to see it, you might as well watch it now. After what happened just now, Jiang Yuhuo's attitude towards Yu Xiaoyao was somewhat better.

Yu Xiaoyao smiled bitterly: "What's the matter?

Jiang Yuhuo looked at the pitch black, and he couldn't see any expression on his smoky face, "Anyway, it's definitely going to change the coffin, let's see." ”

Although the fire had been extinguished, the coffin was still hot, and Yu Xiaoyao reached out and knocked the coffin lid away, with a slight look of unbearable expression on his face.

The coffin, which was originally lined with splendid lining, has now turned into a black mess, and the corpse lying in the center of the coffin has also been deformed by the fire, and it is difficult to distinguish its original face, and the burnt air is mixed with a trace of the smell of barbecue.

The young people of the water dragon team came around, wanting to see the excitement, and when they saw the scene in front of them, they hurriedly ran away, lying on the side and vomiting.

Yu Xiaoyao held his breath, stretched out his fingers, and gently brushed the corpse's neck, he brushed away the burnt skin and saw the wound.

"How?" Seeing that he didn't speak for a long time, Jiang Yuhuo couldn't help but ask.

Yu Xiaoyao withdrew his finger and lowered his head, "It's him." ”

"Who is it?" Jiang Yuhuo asked.

"Xue Qing. ”

He still said the name, although even he didn't want to believe this conclusion, but he had seen Xue Qing kill people, and he had also seen the wounds of those killed by Xue Qing.

So he knew that this was indeed Xue Qing's swordsmanship.

But he was also sure that this could never be Xue Qing's doing.

It was full of weirdness, but he couldn't tell where this weird feeling came from.

"What are you thinking?" Jiang Yuhuo asked.

Yu Yaoyao said: "I'm thinking, why did the person who set the fire set the fire?"

Jiang Yuhuo said: "Naturally, the corpse has been destroyed." ”

Yu Yaoyao said: "Then why do you have to wait until I come to set this fire? If you want to destroy the corpse, shouldn't you have done it a long time ago?"

Jiang Yuhuo's eyes lit up, "Then what do you think?"

Yu Xiaoyao said: "He must be afraid that I will find some suspicions, some suspicions that only I can see." ”

"Sword wounds?" Jiang Yuhuo raised his eyebrows, "You said that you could tell at a glance whether the wound was injured by Xue Qing's sword." ”

Yu Xiaoyao nodded and said, "But I can still identify the wound on the corpse now, this is not a skin wound after all." ”

He scrutinized the corpse, and the indescribable feeling grew stronger.

"Maybe the person who set the fire deliberately wanted you to see the corpse?" Jiang Yuhuo hesitated.

Yu Xiaoyao raised his head, his eyes flashed with an inexplicable light, why did the person who set the fire deliberately want to let him see the corpse?

Yu Xiaoyao suddenly said: "As soon as I saw the corpse, I was sure that the person was killed by Xue Qing." Isn't it?"

Jiang Yuhuo nodded and said, "Not bad." ”

Yu Xiaoyao said again: "Then who would deliberately want me to see the corpse? Or if I identify Xue Qing as a murderer, who is in the best interest?"

Jiang Yuhuo said: "There are two situations, the first is that I set the fire, in order for you to admit that Xue Qing is the murderer." ”

Yu Xiaoyao said: "But you definitely won't use this method. ”

"Not bad. Jiang Yuhuo's face was gloomy, "Master treats me like a mountain, and besides, I don't need to prove it to you in this way." ”

Yu Xiaoyao said: "Then there is only the second situation left, the fire was put by the real murderer, but this murderer is not Xue Qing." ”

Jiang Yuhuo nodded and said, "If we determine that Xue Qing is the murderer because of this, then the real murderer will be able to get away with it." ”

Yu Xiaoyao smiled slightly and said, "If you don't target me anymore, we will definitely become good friends." ”

Jiang Yuhuo said coldly: "Now that I know that Xue Qing is not the real murderer, I don't need you to interfere in this matter." The rest is to be handed over to us with six doors. ”

"That's not going to work. Yu Xiaoyao smiled, "Someone put the black cauldron on my friend's head, I have to know why." ”

Jiang Yuhuo asked, "How much is he worth you doing for him?"

Yu Xiaoyao said: "I only know that if this happens to me, he will definitely take care of it." ”

Jiang Yuhuo suddenly said: "But we are not friends. ”

Yu Xiaoyao blinked and said, "No." ”

Jiang Yuhuo said with a smile: "Although they are not friends, it is still okay to have a glass of wine together." ”

Yu Xiaoyao also smiled, he patted Jiang Yuhuo's shoulder, and said, "Maybe we can really become friends." Now, let's go to the study first to see if Miss Xu has found anything, and then go to have a drink together. ”

Although there are still many troublesome things, Yu Xiaoyao is happy now, whether it is drinking or making friends, it will make him happy.

Since you can't solve these many things today, you might as well put the mundane affairs behind for the time being, just care about the wine in the cup and the people in front of you, but ask for a drunkenness, and be free.

The two came to the study side by side, and although they didn't talk much along the way, the previous estrangement no longer existed.

"Yanyan, did you find anything?" Jiang Yuhuo pushed open the door of the study, and suddenly paused at his feet, "Yanyan?"

No one in the room responded.

Jiang Yuhuo seemed to have been kicked from behind, and rushed into the study, but suddenly stood still.

"What's wrong?" Yu Xiaoyao put away the smile on her face.

Xu Yanyan was not in the study, it was as quiet as when he left just now, and the sunlight shone in through the window lattice and shone on the bookcase.

A little lion carved from blood jade squatted quietly on the bookcase, and the faint blood-colored lines circulated in the sunlight.

Jiang Yuhuo walked over, moved away from the blood jade lion, picked up a piece of paper from the bookcase, and only glanced at it, his face turned pale.

Yu Xiaoyao silently took the paper from his hand, and the ink marks on the paper had not yet dried. On the white rice paper, eight characters with no beginning and no end are neatly written in block letters.

"Tomorrow night, by the Black Tiger Spring. ”

Jiang Yuhuo suddenly picked up the beautifully carved blood jade lion and smashed it on the ground, splashing thousands of pieces of broken jade, shattering the ground blood red.
