Suddenly Ye Caitang started struggling desperately, and Xia Yue was startled. He was about to step forward and take him down when he suddenly heard her hurriedly saying: "Don't touch me."

Xia Yue made a move and understood what Ye Caitang meant.

When Lin Ling was hoisted up, she must have been struggling violently. When a person was struggling, the force of falling was definitely not just the weight of her own body weight. If the silk thread could not withstand this force, then there was something fishy.

There were no clocks and stopwatches in this era, so Ye Caitang was counting the time in his mind, but it was okay with Xia Yue beside him, so even if the rope broke, he wouldn't be afraid of falling.

But I had underestimated my weight just now and didn't think of putting a thick piece of cloth on my hands. Although the silk thread was wrapped with satin, it was still quite tight.

The wind and rain were heavier than before. Although the Octagonal Pavilion had a roof, it could only cover some of the rain above. The wind blew her body around.

Finally, Ye Caitang counted three minutes in his mind, and it was almost over. Although Lin Ling was still breathing at this time, she definitely had no strength to struggle anymore.

The silk thread given by Hai Wangtian that was made through a special method can indeed support a person's weight.

Ye Caitang was hit by the heavy rain and couldn't open his eyes. Although Xia Yue kept looking up at her, he couldn't see her expression clearly for a while.

Ye Caitang opened his mouth and wanted to say get me off quickly.

But the silk was tied around her neck, so it was not easy to make a sound. She struggled to open her mouth, and the wind and rain came in. She choked and coughed immediately, and she couldn't even cough without making a sound.

Ye Caitang was horrified, I wouldn't be strangled to death in public, would this be considered a death in the line of duty? I've already died once and don't want to die again, and the case hasn't been solved yet, so I won't die in peace.

Ye Caitang could not make a sound, but he glanced down and saw Xia Yue beside him. At this critical moment of life and death, he quickly stretched out his legs to kick him regardless of the disobedience.

At this height, the kick hit Xia Yue's shoulder.

Fortunately, if Xia Yue was shorter, he would have been able to kick him in the head. Ye Caitang was still thinking wildly at this time. If he was kicked in the head, it would not count as me beating the imperial official. I really didn't mean it.

Fortunately, Xia Yue had been watching with high vigilance at this time. After being kicked by Ye Caitang, she immediately reacted and quickly held her leg and shouted: "Liu Sha, let go."

What was easier than putting the person down was Liu Sha quickly letting go of his hand.

The rope loosened with a snap, and Ye Caitang screamed and fell backwards... Immediately, Xia Yue grabbed the skirt of his clothes and pulled him into his arms, and then his head fell into his arms.

Ye Caitang breathed a sigh of relief and was placed firmly on the ground.

The ground was wet and cold, but it didn't matter. They all looked like they had just been fished out of the river. Liu Sha, who was struggling to climb up from the pond, was covered in mud from his shoes to his calves.

.

As soon as Ye Caitang landed, he covered his neck and started coughing. Liu Sha quickly ran over: "Is it okay? Is it okay?"

Ye Caitang coughed a few times, stopped, and said in a hoarse voice: "It's okay."

Xia Yue frowned and said: "It's too dangerous. Next time something like this happens, I'll have to find someone with good skills."

In fact, there was no danger. He kept watching and counting the time. As long as the time was a little longer, even if Ye Caitang didn't make a sound, he would directly carry the person down.

But even though it wasn't dangerous, looking at this scene, he still felt uncomfortable.

Ye Caitang stood up holding on to the table and waved his hand: "It doesn't matter, sir, this thread can really support a person's weight. The murderer probably used this method to kill Lin Ling, so Kim Jong-li's suspicion is even heavier

.”

Although Feng Shui masters are not jugglers, they have certain similarities. In order to make money, there are many fortune tellers who also know many unique skills of jugglers. For example, Hai Wangtian is a Feng Shui master, but he knows a little bit about all the heretical things.

.

And Kim Jong-ri not only tells fortunes, but also performs rituals for people. When performing rituals, he will inevitably have to use some tricks to hide from others.

Xia Yue listened to Ye Caitang's voice becoming hoarse and said, "Let's go back first."

They came here to verify whether the silk thread could possibly support Lin Ling's weight, and they got a satisfactory answer. They didn't even have to wait for Wang Tong to come back before they could conduct a public and detailed search of Kim Jong-li's family.

Hai Wangtian said, don't look at such a silk thread, because the production process and materials are very difficult, so it is very precious. If Kim Jong-li got it by chance, he would never throw it away after use, but would definitely

It will be stored properly.

Like seven years ago, like now.

The difficulty is that such a small thread can be hidden anywhere. If he really wants to hide it, it will be difficult to find.

Everyone hurried back to the six doors and went to take a shower and change clothes without saying anything else.

Fortunately, except for Liu Sha who stepped on the mud, Ye Caitang and Xia Yue only got wet from the rain. They took a shower, changed clothes, and washed their hair, and they were all done quickly.

Ye Caitang changed his clothes and sat in front of the dressing table, wiping his hair before feeling pain in his neck.

Xia Yue was considerate. She probably looked like a girl, so she even had a dressing table in the room. Unfortunately, he didn't know that Ye Caitang didn't have any rouge or gouache. She could only apply some moisturizer occasionally when the weather is dry in autumn and winter.

However, it was difficult to see the position of the neck with a fixed mirror. Ye Caitang raised his chin and rolled his eyes. He didn't see it for a long time. He reached out and touched it, and it hurt even more when he pressed it.

But from the feeling of soaking in hot water just now, the skin is not broken. I guess it is just because the ribbon is a little bruised, so it is nothing serious.

Just when Ye Caitang changed his position and looked at his neck, there was a knock on the door.

"Here we come." Ye Caitang hurriedly opened the door.

Unexpectedly, the person standing at the door was Xia Yue. Xia Yue also had a tray in his hand with a bowl of soup on it.

"Master Xia." Ye Caitang quickly straightened his clothes.

Xia Yue hummed, walked in generously, and placed the tray on the table.

"The ginger soup cooked in the kitchen was brought to you by chance." Xia Yue said, "Come here and see if you were injured just now?"

Ye Caitang shook his head repeatedly: "No."

Although he said it wasn't, his voice was a little different from usual, a little hoarse.

The ginger soup smells hot. Although it is early summer, you still have to be careful not to catch the cold even if you get wet.

Just as Ye Caitang reached out to hold the bowl, Xia Yue suddenly said: "Wait a minute."

"Huh?" Ye Caitang paused.

Xia Yue stretched out two fingers and lifted Ye Caitang's chin.
