Xu Yan was very fortunate that Luo Wanqing was a smart person, which could make their cooperation easier.
Seeing that Luo Wanqing had directly guessed the truth, Xu Yan stopped beating around the bush.
"That's right, the bodyguard shot at me, naturally it can only be related to the Green Fire Insect."
"The reason why I was able to react in time and avoid the first shot was actually because of Xiao Yuanwang."
"I observed it at the gate of the zoo. There was the breath of green fireflies on his face. It was very faint, but it was there!"
Luo Wanqing's pretty face tightened and she quietly clenched her fists.
Xu Yan continued: "I have thought about it carefully. This does not mean that Xiao Yuanwang is the mastermind behind this."
"After all, if it was him, he should have discovered me at that time."
"Didn't you say that he is not abnormal? It seems that he is either unaware or hiding it too deeply. Which do you think it is?"
Luo Wanqing frowned and said thoughtfully: "In my opinion, even if Xiao Yuanwang hides some secrets, he is not as deep as a person in the city."
"But the bodyguard is his, and the people who tried to drive you away before are also his. Aren't these all pointing to him?"
Xu Yan thought for a while and nodded slightly.
"That's a question, but I want to know how much Mr. Luo knows about that bodyguard?"
"Bodyguard?" Luo Wanqing thought for a moment, "I only know that he has been following Xiao Yuanwang for several years, and he seems to be a very powerful warrior."
"When Yuan Shan was here, he disliked this man very much and said he was too arrogant."
"In my impression, this bodyguard's behavior is indeed a bit irregular. Moreover, he takes more vacations than ordinary bodyguards."
"I really don't know the details. After all, I haven't met many people and I haven't paid much attention to it."
This is true, she is Xiao Yuanwang's sister-in-law, so naturally she cannot pay too much attention to Xiao Yuanwang, let alone his bodyguard.
However, the known information is enough for Xu Yan.
At least we can be sure that the bodyguard is not an ordinary bodyguard, and may have another identity?
Seeing that Xu Yan was silent, Luo Wanqing said solemnly: "Doctor Xu, let me be frank. For me, things are a bit too complicated now."
"I also believe you have already made a judgment, so what should we do next?"
What to do? Xu Yan was actually a little confused.
After all, even if the Xiao family didn't know that the death of the bodyguard was related to him, the mastermind behind the whole thing would probably be related.
Fortunately, Luo Wanqing has been cured, so there is no need to worry about the Green Fireworm itself.
But if we want to continue the investigation, we have to avoid the Xiao family from the front to avoid being misunderstood by them.
Things are really troublesome!
After thinking about it carefully, Xu Yan said seriously: "I can only give you my suggestions."
"After all, if we want to continue investigating this matter and find evidence, we have to start from within the Xiao family."
"We already know that there is a problem in the Xiao family. The next step is to find out who it is and then deal with it in detail."
Luo Wanqing obviously understood the situation very well. He nodded solemnly and said, "Okay, what exactly do you want me to do?"
"Go back and secretly check who this dead bodyguard is." Xu Yan said seriously: "He knows the whole thing, but there is no evil in him, so there must be someone else."
"Try to find out his identity and the people who have a special relationship with him in the Xiao family."
"If there is any progress in this matter, the truth will basically be clear."
Luo Wanqing calmed herself down, nodded solemnly and said, "I understand, I'll go back and try to investigate in secret."
"Doctor Xu, is there anything else we should pay attention to?"
Xu Yan thought carefully and said, "Pay attention to safety!"
Luo Wanqing was startled, her pretty face became more solemn, "I will pay attention, Doctor Xu, please pay attention to your safety too!"
"You have saved me several times, and now you are helping me again. Don't let anything happen to you, otherwise..."
"Then please pay attention to safety!" Xu Yan stood up with a smile, "It's getting late, so I won't send it away."
"If you have any news, please contact me immediately. I will also try to find out where the bodyguard came from."
Luo Wanqing responded seriously, wrapped her clothes tightly again, and got up to go out.
Xu Yan didn't pretend to be a gentleman. If he followed him out, he might be targeted by someone who wanted to do it. There was no need.
Luo Wanqing definitely didn't come alone, there should be bodyguards around her.
Xu Yan remembered that she had met her brother earlier. The bodyguards around that young man were not simple!
Early the next morning, Xu Yan ran to the antique street and found the layman Lingbao.
Layman Lingbao was very happy to see Xu Yan again. He warmly welcomed him downstairs and pulled him upstairs to sit down.
After a brief exchange of greetings, Xu Yan stopped talking in circles and went straight to the point and mentioned the green fire bug.
Layman Lingbao was shocked when he heard this, "Why did the evil thing appear again?"
"There was Blood Thread Gu before, and now there's Green Fire Worm. How do I feel that more and more evil things are being exposed?"
"In the past, we rarely heard of these things appearing. Occasionally there were weird rumors, which may be evil things, but the frequency of their appearance was also very low. Now it is too frequent!"
Xu Yan's heart moved slightly and he asked curiously: "Has the layman ever come into contact with such evil things to harm people before?"
"Don't blame me, we in Lingbao Pavilion have not had much contact with each other for several generations!" Layman Lingbao said with a bitter smile: "What we have discovered in the past are at most nightmares. Compared with evil things that can directly harm people, they are nothing like that.
What a level!”
Xu Yanning nodded and exhaled: "This is indeed strange."
"So it is necessary to find out the source of the green fire bug as soon as possible. If this kind of thing spreads, it can be more dangerous than the blood thread Gu."
"When we find the source, we may be able to find some regular reasons."
Lingbao nodded seriously, "What specifically can I do?"
Xu Yan has actually wanted to come to Lingbao Pavilion for a long time. The last time he came, because Wu Yan and the others were there, he couldn't open up about many things.
This time, I can talk about all the doubts I have accumulated.
However, not everything can be asked or discussed.
For example, if Xu Yan wants to know the origin of the dagger in his hand, Lingbao may have some clues.
But Xu Yan is not sure whether he can say anything about Trumpet Mountain where he got the dagger.
After all, Xie Di and Xie Sha are inherently involved. If they are exposed, they might be suspected of going to Trumpet Mountain.
After thinking for a while, Xu Yan tapped his fingers on the table and asked in a deep voice: "Father, I have always been curious. Since evil things have always existed, and things that have harmed people have indeed happened, is no one taking care of them?"
"Since there are people like you who collect spiritual objects and limit nightmares, are there also people who deal with evil objects?"
Layman Lingbao couldn't help being stunned when he heard this, "Who knows how to deal with evil things? How dangerous those things are!"
"Doctor Xu, if you weren't a doctor, would you risk doing something like this?"
"I've heard that many people are robbing spiritual objects and treasures. After all, these are good things."
Layman Lingbao smiled softly as he spoke, as if he was used to seeing through such things.
Xu Yan was silent. Speaking of which, the leech king he met in Trumpet Mountain was also an evil thing in itself. It was just that it was too terrifying, so it was called an evil evil.
And in the ancestral cave notes of Niujiadong, it is recorded that there are people who deal with evil spirits, that is, there are still people who are restraining evil spirits!
Seeing that he was silent, Master Lingbao scratched his head and said with a smile: "What I said may be a bit too absolute. In fact, I heard that there are people who deal with evil things, but no one has seen it!"
"It doesn't matter, let's talk about it!" Xu Yan took a sip of tea and said, "We are just chatting, we have nothing to worry about."
"Hmm, I remember hearing before that the Taoists in the mountains are good at dealing with evil things."
Lingbao said strangely: "Well, this matter is actually related to folklore."
"Many rumors about ghosts are probably caused by evil things that harm people, and Taoist people are just able to restrain these."
Xu Yan suddenly understood that after all, Taoist sects have always had the ability and responsibility to catch and exorcise demons. If they are connected, it is natural that they will restrain evil objects.
And this thing is probably true. As far as he knows now, the Taoist sect has many magical methods.
Not to mention restraining evil things, the Taoist sect may even be able to deal with evil spirits!
So, the senior Niujiadong saw the mysterious man who defeated the evil spirits, maybe he was also a member of the Taoist sect?
You can ask Fu Dongliu about this later. Although there are some doubts about his identity, he must be a member of the Taoist sect, so he must know something.
After thinking about it, Xu Yan was ready to put this aside for now, took out the black dagger and put it on the table.
"Look, layman, can you tell where this dagger comes from? Be careful, it's a bit sharp!"
Layman Lingbao glanced at it, but took a breath first!
