Bai Kaguya withdrew his gaze from the child who had turned away.

Although it is strange for a child carrying a leg of mutton to sway on the street, and the child's hair is tied up at will, and the clothes are plain, but they are cleanly combed and good-looking, and the smile reveals a free and uninhibited meaning, which makes people feel good. But Bai Huiye didn't mean to contact him, because he came to Huinan Mansion this time to shoulder a heavy responsibility.

A month ago, he was ordered to come to Huinan Mansion to investigate the case of the disappearance and death of the secret agent of the Martial Arts Division, but after all, this secret agent still did not arrive in Huinan in the end, so he first went to the other party's route of action to find out. Although I didn't find any clues, I had also seen the arrogant water thieves on the Tinghe River collecting tolls, and I was basically sure that this matter was related to Yuhu Village and the Tinghe Gang.

Now he disguised himself and came to Huinan with the inspection envoy sent by the state lord, just to hide people's eyes. Although I don't know if the Tinghe Gang has noticed Huinan's relationship with the secret agent, it is better to be careful.

Sure enough, after coming to Huinan Mansion, Bai Huiye understood that his caution was right. He inquired that a large local family had been convicted by the government more than a month ago, and the whereabouts of the whole family were unknown. In the mouth of the local gang, it is said that the family offended the Tinghe gang and was killed overnight.

If this is true, it means that at least the Lord of Huinan Mansion has been bought by the Tinghe Gang, and not only is it no longer his help, but it is a big obstacle.

Bai Huiye does not have a fixed position in the state lord's mansion, but he can be regarded as the confidant of the state lord Liu Liang. He belongs to Liu Liang's secret forces, and there are not many people in the state capital who know about his existence, so he has to do something under the table.

He was originally a collateral descendant of the Bai family in Jiangnan, the Bai family is one of the twelve families in the world, and it is a wealthy family that opposes Zhou with the royal family, so it can be said that he is resting with the country. There are their own people in the court and in various states, and there are several elders in the family who are at the peak of the outer gods, and their strength belongs to the second class after the royal family, and the head of the family inherits the title of "Duke Su Yi". And the Ministry of Rites in the court is also a member of the Bai family, and there are Austrian aid in the court and the opposition.

The sister-in-law of the Bai family is naturally the high-profile Tianjiao, but unfortunately Bai Huiye's grandfather is the main family's concubine, and he can only be regarded as a sideline when it is his turn. Therefore, although the Bai family will give him some resources, when it comes to the innate realm, all the Bai family can give is a surname. If he wants to transcend the innate and achieve the outer god, he still needs to work his own. He is not the kind of martial arts training seed with outstanding talent, so he has to walk under Liu Liang's door through the Bai family's path. Liu Liang belongs to the family of the pro-Bai family, he cultivated to the innate seven heavens in his forties, and he is strict and organized, and he is also a relatively optimistic official of the imperial court. This time, he was sent to Yunzhou to take charge of a state, in addition to the secret mission of his own family, on the surface, it was also to increase his qualifications and prepare for his transfer to the Shendu in the future.

Bai Huiye is now in the realm of the Innate Twin Heavens, and if he can help Liu Liang successfully complete the task this time, he can also get a lot of resource rewards, which is enough for him to refine the Twin Heavens again. The innate three heavens are divided into one realm, and after reaching the fourfold level, they belong to the intermediate level. He will be thirty years old now, and only when he has risen to the innate intermediate level in the past one or two years can he gain a certain amount of attention from the Bai family, get the coveted support, and obtain more advanced exercises, so he can't help but not try his best.

Bai Huiye was experienced, and he knew at a glance that the idler next to him was spying on Zhang's mansion, so like Zhang Qing's choice before, he went around to the side and found a corner where no one was around, and began to search carefully in the mansion.

To be honest, Zhang Qing was better at that time, but now a month and a half has passed, first by fire, and then by wind and sun for more than a month. The ground was full of ruins and weeds, and there was no way that there were any clues left to survive. However, Bai Huiye was not in a hurry, since he was here, it meant that there was a way to find something useful from this pile of ruins.

He first found a clean place, then stood in his clothes, closed his eyes and calmed down for a long time, took out four copper coins from his arms, twisted them with both hands and raised them to his eyebrows, recited words in his mouth, mobilized the true yuan of his body, suddenly his eyes lit up, scattered the copper coins in his hand on the ground, and then carefully observed.

It is said that those who are proficient in this way can avoid evil and predict the future. Bai Huiye, as a side disciple, of course can't learn the core magic skills of the family, but the "Four Broken Heart Methods" he learned is deduced from the "Six Lines and Six Hearts", and some of the effects of "Six Lines and Six Hearts" can be vaguely calculated. He just used this set of rituals to use the family heirloom method to find the location of the clues he wanted.

After carefully inspecting the four copper coins on the ground, calculating the signs for a long time, he finally put the copper coins away, and then came directly to the rockery in the back garden. When he saw the hole in the rockery, he smiled slightly, made a torch with charcoal next to him, and Shi Shiran entered it.

It was no different from when Zhang Qing came, but the dust was thicker. Bai Kamiya was not the slightest impatient, carefully examining the items left on the ground. Sure enough, the hard work paid off, and he was keenly aware of the uneven thickness of the dust on the ground, as well as different traces of action. This shows that before Zhang's house was burned, the people of the Tinghe Gang discovered this secret room, and then took everything in the secret room. But some time afterward, there were still people who entered the chamber. Moreover, the person who came also made a careful cover-up, and if you don't look carefully, you can't see that anyone has come, which means that the person who came is not in the same group as the Tinghe Gang, so it is likely to be relatives and friends of the Zhang family. And this person is the key to Bai Huiye's understanding of the hidden secret.

He checked the remaining relics in the secret room little by little, and when he saw the stone Buddha statue, he first knocked on it to make sure that it was solid. He moved the Buddha statue away, and sure enough, he found a hidden compartment underneath.

Bai Huiye pried the dark grid open, reached in and kept groping, it was empty, but there were still some remnants of wood chips. He carefully wrapped the sawdust in a cloth and hid it in his arms, only then did he check the secret room again to make sure that nothing was missing, returned everything to its original place, and left Zhang's mansion.

He did not rush to find the person who later entered the secret room, but first contacted the secret intelligence agency under the state lord, and asked them to investigate the name of the family that was destroyed, what was the relationship with the secret agent of the Martial Arts Division, the specific situation on the day of the crime, and so on. He first had to determine whether this was the right person before continuing to investigate. Because the only clue now is the sawdust in his hand, if he wants to deduce the location of the other party by something, he needs to make a lot of preparation in advance, and it will take a lot of effort. So if he hadn't confirmed the news, he wouldn't have done it first.

In this way, Bai Huiye has been wandering around the city and outside the city for the past few days, secretly looking for all the information about the Zhang family, and at the same time preparing the tools for the rituals and deductions, while waiting for the results of the investigation from his subordinates. And in the past few days, the patrol envoy has also dragged down the lord of Huinan Mansion, and he has constantly gone out to parade, bringing most of the official forces with him, which has also facilitated Bai Huiye's work.

Finally, three days later, in the evening, when the results of the investigation came from his subordinates, Bai Huiye closed the doors and windows of the temporary residence, making sure that no one was paying attention to him, and then began to carefully examine the file in his hand.
