Bai Ziqi waved his hand, and the officials immediately came forward and searched from building to building.
no one.
No one is in any of the buildings.
But there are some discoveries in the lighted room.
Bai Ziqi and others walked in and saw that the windows were closed, the door was ajar, the candles were only half burned, and there were two wooden cups on the table.
He touched the cup and said, "It's warm."
The person in the house had just left.
"Probably they found out we were here." If Cen Boqing escaped here, he would undoubtedly be vigilant at all times. He Lingchuan pointed to the ground and said, "Does this look like a spell casting site?"
There were a few bird feathers on the ground, a handful of straw, and a yellow oil stain of unknown origin mixed with a bit of red thread, which looked sticky.
There are still traces of burning on the brick surface.
He Lingchuan knew at a glance that those few bird feathers belonged to magpies. Magpie feathers always fell out of his home in Panlong City, because sparrow hawks always committed crimes there.
The strange thing is that the burning smell that remains in the room is actually a little sweet. If you smell it for a long time, you will feel dizzy...
He Lingchuan quickly opened the window.
Bai Ziqi took some straw and dipped it in oil, put it under her nose and smelled it.
"The corpse oil is very pure." Everyone showed disgust, and He Lingchuan was slightly stunned: "They really were hiding here just now?"
Bai Ziqi nodded: "Cen Boqing is also very cautious. If the officer Zhou Tailai is arrested and interrogated, his whereabouts will inevitably be revealed, so he took the time to go around in a circle and sneaked to the west after leaving the city."
"It's windy tonight." He added, "This kind of spell must be cast in a quiet, sealed and windless environment."
That's why two fugitives sneaked in here.
"But they just escaped and we can still catch up."
The official who went to search the surroundings also came back and reported: "There is no trail behind, but the mountain is not too steep and you can still climb down."
Bai Ziqi took out another candle from his arms.
Others are puzzled: There are lights in this room, why is he lighting candles?
He Lingchuan stood close and had good eyesight, and noticed that the white candle he took out also had a hint of gold, which made him look very classy.
After the flame is lit, there is white light from the inside to the outside.
Bai Ziqi pinched the heart of the candle, and a small ball of flame stood firmly on his fingertips.
Only then did everyone see clearly that the flame had taken on a form, with a head, a body, and hands, but there was still a ball of light below the waist.
What is this, a ghost of light?
