The grass is soft and fragrant, and a few small flowers in the grass spread their petals, waving in the wind. In March, everything is full of vitality.

But the boy in front of him has lost his life forever.

His eyes were wide open, and the moments of despair and horror that preceded death still lingered on his face.

Yu Xiaoyao reached out and gently closed his eyes for him.

His fatal wound was also in the neck, and a sword sealed his throat.

is the same as the dead man in the Hall of Ten Thousand Lions, and the same as Xu Sanying.

Could it be that the real culprit behind all this is really Xue Qing?

Why did he kill people again and again? What did he have to do with the blood jade lion? What about Lion Liu? What conspiracy did they have?

There is still residual warmth on the corpse, and the murderer should not have gone far.

Yu Xiaoyao jumped up suddenly, because he suddenly thought that this is an island in the middle of the lake, surrounded by water, it is a Jedi, and the murderer will not stay for long after killing someone, if he wants to leave here, he can only row!

As if he had gone mad, he ran around the island in the middle of the lake.

Then he found out that he was a big fool, and there were about a dozen boats coming and going on the lake, far and near, and how could he tell which one was the one he was looking for.

Thousands of sails are not, and the slanting veins are long.

Yu rowed the boat and rowed back to the shore with Hu Yi's body, and the old man who rented the boat widened his eyes and turned around and ran away without saying a word.

Yu Xiaoyao simply sat down on the boat, and it was just after noon, and he had already seen two dead people, and this already very strange murder case was now even more confusing.

He's tired, and he just wants to rest now.

The boat was tied to the pier, gently swaying with the rippling water, the wind blowing from the water, and the humidity carried a chill.

The first to arrive was not the official errand, but the friends he had just made.

Wan Fei stepped into the boat with an arrow step, and the hull shook violently a few times, and Wan Fei's face turned pale.

"You killed Brother Hu?!" Wan Fei asked loudly, his hand trembling slightly, not just out of anger but also out of fear.

"It's not. Yu Xiaoyao said lightly.

Tears rolled from Wan Fei's eyes, he gritted his teeth and said, "Very good." ”

Yu Xiaoyao glanced at him, "Good?"

Wan Fei said: "If you kill Brother Hu, then I can only kill you to avenge him." ”

Yu Xiaoyao sighed softly, turned his gaze to the lake again, and said, "You are not my opponent. ”

Wan Fei said angrily: "Sacrifice your life for righteousness, why don't you die!"

Yu Xiaoyao turned his head, looked at the flames and tears in the young man's eyes, and suddenly asked, "Then am I still your friend?"

Wan Fei said: "Yes." ”

Yu Xiaoyao suddenly stood up, patted him on the shoulder, and said, "Then I'll go and help you find out the real murderer." ”

The tears in Wan Fei's eyes could no longer be suppressed, and the big ones fell.

The young man's blood was like a pot of spirits, and it ignited a flame in Yu Xiaoyao's heart, even if it was Guan Shan Wanzhong in front of him, he believed that he could grit his teeth and go on.

He returned to the Hall of Ten Thousand Lions, and was not surprised to see the six doors in front of the Hall.

A catcher saw him coming, greeted him, and said, "This is not the place for you to come, hurry up!"

Yu Xiaoyao said: "I'm here to find Jiang Yuhuo." ”

The catcher was slightly stunned, and asked suspiciously, "Do you know Jiang Tou'er?"

Yu Xiaoyao was slightly surprised, he didn't expect that Jiang Yuhuo, who looked very young, was actually the head catcher of the six doors.

Jiang Yuhuo heard the voice, walked out of it, only glanced at Yu Xiaoyao, and ordered, "Let him in." ”

Yu Xiaoyao stepped forward. Jiang Yuhuo asked, "How did you find here?"

Yu Xiaoyao avoided answering the question, "Did you find that corpse?"

Jiang Yuhuo's eyes lit up, "How do you know there's a corpse here?"

Yu Xiaoyao said: "I not only know that there is a corpse here, but also know who killed it. ”

Jiang Yuhuo's eyes flashed, and he asked in a deep voice, "Who is it?"

Yu Xiaoyao said: "Lion Liu." ”

Jiang Yuhuo wondered, "Where did you know this name?"

Yu Xiaoyao said: "You have your way, and I naturally have my way." ”

Jiang Yuhuo said: "Then do you know who died?"

Yu Xiaoyao smiled bitterly: "Someone told me it was Lion Liu, but I know now that it must not be him." ”

Jiang Yuhuo nodded and said, "It's really not." Because it's my six doors that are dead. ”

This time it was Yu Xiaoyao's turn to be surprised, "Have you been suspicious of Lion Liu?"

Jiang Yuhuo shook his head and said, "It's strange here, no one knows why he came here and why he died here." ”

Yu Xiaoyao said: "Then we can only find Lion Liu and ask." ”

Jiang Yuhuo smiled bitterly: "It would be nice if it was so easy." See there isn't. ”

Yu Xiaoyao looked in the direction he pointed, and a thin middle-aged man rubbed his hands, accepting a quick question.

"That's Wan Deshun, the hall owner of the Ten Thousand Lion Hall, he said that Lion Liu usually lives in the small courtyard at the back, and he doesn't have any real estate in the local area, except for the people in the hall, he has almost no friends, so he doesn't know where Lion Liu is now. ”

Yu Xiaoyao thought for a moment and asked, "Then can I go and ask him a few questions?"

Jiang Yuhuo raised his hand and said, "Please." ”

Yu Xiaoyao turned aside the catcher who was questioning, looked Wan Deshun up and down, and suddenly found that he looked a little similar to Wan Fei, "Are you Wan Fei's father?" he asked.

Wan Deshun nodded, and the expression on his face changed instantly, "What's wrong with my Xiaofei?!"

"He's fine. Yu Xiaoyao said: "I am his new friend." ”

Wan Deshun's face looked a little better, he raised his hand to wipe the beads of sweat from his forehead, and muttered: "Alas, how could such a thing happen..."

Yu Xiaoyao asked, "How long have you known Lion Liu?"

Wan Deshun said: "It's been almost ten years. ”

Yu Xiaoyao asked again: "Is there anything strange about him?"

Wan Deshun smiled bitterly: "He is a very strange person, in addition to liking to drink, he is to make lions, and the lion dance head and lion dance skin in our hall are all made by him." ”

Yu Xiaoyao nodded and said, "What about other than these?"

Wan Deshun thought for a while and said, "There's nothing else to say, he doesn't like to be lively, he doesn't like women, and he doesn't see any friends around him." ”

Speaking of this, he paused and said, "For ten years, he has hardly gone wrong, and he has not caused any trouble, how, how..."

Yu Xiaoyao interrupted him, "What about his apprentice Hu Yi, what is the relationship between the two?"

Wan Deshun said: "Hu Yi, Hu Yi is a good boy, he wants to learn Lao Liu's craft of making lions, so he worships Lao Liu as a teacher." What's wrong with him? Is he okay?"

Yu Xiaoyao didn't want to answer this question, so he vaguely said: "He's with Wan Fei." His kung fu seems to be good, who did he learn it from?"

Wan Deshun said: "We all learned from contemptible people, we eat juggling, and we will have more or less martial arts on our bodies." ”

Yu Xiaoyao asked again: "Then Hu Yi has any other close people in the city?"

Wan Deshun shook his head, "His family lives in the countryside, and he lives with my family Xiaofei on weekdays. ”

Yu Xiaoyao secretly scolded that he didn't have a brain just now, and he should have asked Wan Fei first when he was by the lake just now. But in that situation, he really didn't want to bother Wan Fei anymore.

"But," Wan Deshun remembered something again, "I heard our Xiaofei say that Hu Yi seems to have been very close to a girl named Cuicui in the Pearl Courtyard recently. ”

"Pearl Temple?"

Wan Deshun hurriedly explained: "It's in Xicheng, it's a small green building. ”

Yu was at ease, after all, he was a young man with strong blood, and it was not strange to go to that kind of place.

Jiang Yuhuo walked over and asked, "How is it?"

The corners of Yu Xiaoyao's mouth hooked and asked, "Have you ever visited the kiln?"

The expression on Jiang Yuhuo's face was a little unnatural, "Kiln?"

Yu Xiaoyao said: "It's the Qinglou, a place to spend money to drink and sleep." ”

Jiang Yuhuo's face was slightly red, and he said coldly: "I naturally know what kind of place it is." ”

Yu Xiaoyao felt even more amused and continued: "You won't have been there. ”

Jiang Yuhuo said coldly: "Tell the truth!"

Yu Xiaoyao smiled slightly, and said, "Serious business? The next serious thing is that you and I will go to the Qinglou together, find someone to drink, and chat." ”

Naturally, you can't walk to the Qinglou.

Yu Xiaoyao said: "If you want the old bustard to be obedient, in addition to a lot of silver, you have to take a good car, so that no matter what you say, she will listen obediently." ”

Jiang Yuhuo frowned slightly, and said, "Six doors to handle the case, do you still have to cover it up?"

Yu Xiaoyao smiled: "If you say that you are a person from the Six Doors, then where do those small people in the market dare to tell the truth?"

"So?" Jiang Yuhuo asked.

Yu Xiaoyao said: "So, next, you have to follow my method." ”

So they sat in a spacious and comfortable carriage.

The carriage was brought in by a man with six doors, and it was not only comfortable, but also gorgeous. Yu Xiaoyao and Jiang Yuhuo sat in the carriage, dressed like two rich children who came out to look for flowers and willows.

"You have something to say to me, don't you?" Jiang Yuhuo said suddenly.

"Oh?" Yu looked at him with a smile, "Why do you say that?"

Jiang Yuhuo said: "Pearl Courtyard is a small green building, and the people who go there are all ordinary people, so where is the need to be so exaggerated." ”

"So?" asked Yu Xiaoyao.

Jiang Yuhuo said: "So, you are looking for a chance to be alone with me, so you must have something to say to me." ”

Yu Xiaoyao said: "I do have something I want to ask you. ”

"You say. ”

Yu Yaoyao said: "Do you remember the words on that note?"

Jiang Yuhuo looked at him strangely and said, "Naturally, I remember, tomorrow and night, by the Black Tiger Spring." ”

Yu Xiaoyao said: "The murderer left this note, naturally it will not be for us to take people back empty-handed." ”

Jiang Yuhuo said: "But he didn't say what he wanted. ”

Yu Xiaoyao stared into his eyes and said, "He didn't say it explicitly because he knew that the person who saw this note knew what he wanted." ”

Jiang Yuhuo's eyes widened suddenly.
