Liu Ruyan hid in the dark after coming out of the small courtyard, and at the same time turned on the perspective of the male protagonist. In the picture, Shen Yanchu's domineering attitude made her feel lingering fear.
Ye Xun reminded her: "It's just that the devil rarely finds an opponent, and the host uses deceitful means to win by chance, so it will naturally attract people's hatred."
"No, if this continues, sooner or later the game will be over." Liu Ruyan sat down and rested her arms, "I don't believe he doesn't have any weaknesses."
Ye Xun thought about it seriously for a while, and suddenly he suddenly realized: "The male protagonist lacks family ties."
Family affection?
Liu Ruyan could not help but feel a chill as she pictured the scene in her mind of her loving mother and her demonic mother and her filial son.
"Even if it doesn't work, the host can still use tenderness to embody it. It's the so-called love between a man and a woman, full of affection and sweetness."
love?
In front of her eyes, she hugged the devil with one hand, smiled evilly, pushed him to the ground, and then leaned forward, hooking the slender chin with her fingertips.
Shen Yanchu was forced to raise his eyes, his lips slightly opened.
She slowly approached and heard the man say in disgust: "He's as heavy as a pig, why don't you get down!"
Liu Ruyan's heart trembled.
No, the only way to treat him is to keep him at a distance. Trying to control him will only lead to self-inflicted fire.
But what if a wonderful balance can be achieved between the two?
She recalled that in the past two months, the devil had to retreat in the middle of the month, and coupled with the recovery of memories these two times...she suddenly looked into the sky and saw that it was a full moon again.
After clearing her thoughts, Liu Ruyan returned to the courtyard.
Shen Yanchu fell into a coma again like last time, so as long as she avoided it in time every full moon, she could at least be safe.
Have a safe night tonight.
It was just dawn, and not long after she fell asleep, she was awakened by a noise.
Outside the door, Bai Zhi's voice knocked urgently: "Another death!"
Liu Ruyan sat up suddenly, no longer sleepy: "Who is it this time?"
"General Zhonglang, Lord Chen." Bai Zhi paused, "Died by hanging."
Mr. Chen is in charge of the defense affairs in the capital. He is brave and strategic and is a rare general.
She hurriedly put on her clothes, disguised herself as a Taoist boy, and followed Bai Zhi to Yiyuan.
Shen Yanchu was already waiting there.
"The real person." Bai Zhi bowed to him and laid out the autopsy tools she brought.
Jingzhao Yin Jiang Wenzhuo had ordered people to take down the body of the deceased, lay it flat on the ground, and asked everyone present to exit the lime circle.
Liu Ruyan stood behind the crowd and looked around. This is the south of Yiyuan. It is only separated from the Wutong Forest where Liu Shangshu hanged himself by a lotus pond, and the layout is quite similar.
The difference is that the elm tree likes light and needs to be pruned during the growth period, but it cannot be pruned during the rainy season to prevent the branches from bleeding.
After several days of spring rain, few gardeners entered the elm forest. Master Chen's body was discovered by Mrs. Lin. The old lady fainted from fright on the spot and has not yet woken up.
Under the tree, Angelica dahurica looked at it again and again, and its face became more and more serious.
"How's it going?" she asked as she approached.
"Same as Liu Shangshu, he was knocked unconscious and then pretended to have hanged himself." Bai Zhi held up the deceased's wrist and looked at his fingers to draw a conclusion.
"According to this, the murderer is the same person." She whispered, looking towards the tree, and could vaguely see some fluorite powder.
Shen Yanchu also noticed this. He flew up the tree and scraped off a little firefly powder with a razor blade.
Bai Zhi hurriedly took the firefly powder and held it in her hands to examine it: "Same as last time, there are centipedes mixed in."
Centipede again?
Liu Ruyan lowered her eyes, it seemed that the murderer was not just trying to imprison the Niu Jade Seal. There must be some connection between the deaths of Liu Shangshu and Lord Chen.
As she was thinking this, she suddenly heard a beep from the system:
"Successfully triggered the new plot, The Phantom of the House."
"Plot reminder, please start with Yingfen to investigate the cause of death of the deceased."
She was startled immediately. The powder the murderer smeared on the tree had an ulterior motive, but why was it a cat?
"May I ask the Medicine Immortal, what's wrong with this corpse?" Mr. Jingzhao Yinjiang stepped forward hesitantly.
Bai Zhi shook her head: "Not yet, there are many people here, please carry the deceased into the house and wait for me to check."
"Yes Yes."
"Master Jiang." Liu Ruyan called from behind.
Jiang Wenzhuo suddenly looked back and saw the Taoist boy next to Ming Juezi.
"I wonder what the private relationship between Liu Shangshu and Lord Chen is like?" she asked.
"The feeling of being in the same robe is like that of brothers and sisters."
"What about Master Jiang and these two?"
Jiang Wenzhuo replied truthfully: "In the old days, we served the late emperor together and became close friends."
Liu Ruyan nodded: "That means we have a close relationship."
"Yes." Jiang Wenzhuo lowered his head.
"If Mr. Jiang is fine tonight, I hope you don't go out, especially this Yiyuan." She sighed, "If Mr. Jiang comes, he may kill someone."
Jiang Wenzhuo suddenly raised his head, but only caught a glimpse of Tao Tong's back as he turned and left.
"Sir, sir..." The attendant nearby called him several times. Seeing that he looked distracted, he hesitated for a moment and then reported, "Sir Chen's body is going to be sent to the room for examination?"
"That's right." Jiang Wenzhuo waved his hand and let the crowd around him recede, "Let's all disperse. Don't go out at night unless you have nothing to do!"
Yiyuan returned to its former tranquility. Jiang Wenzhuo stood under the tree for a long time, until a drop of water quietly trickled down and fell into the back of his neck. He was so startled that he quickly turned around.
The elm trees are lush, with swifts building nests among the branches and leaves. The wind blows, and rain and dew fall sporadically.
His expression changed and he hurried out of the garden.
Outside the park.
Liu Ruyan walked with Shen Yanchu and Bai Zhi.
Shen Yanchu had no memory of what happened last night and was not repelled by her approach. She came forward and whispered in his ear, saying a name.
Shen Yanchu was slightly surprised: "Why do you suspect it's him?"
"It won't take long for him to reveal his true nature, and when the time comes, the prisoner's jade seal will appear."
Bai Zhi looked puzzled: "If you steal the jade seal, why do you still kill people?"
"If you want to know why the murderer kills people, you might as well start your investigation with these fireflies." Liu Ruyan said, "The murderer has amazing arm strength and is good at light kung fu. He can even come and go freely in the house without arousing suspicion. He smeared fireflies on the trees.
, leading the deceased to go alone."
She paused for a while and continued: "We might as well investigate who left the room without permission at night."
The three of them returned the same way, and when they arrived at the small courtyard where they were temporarily staying, Qi Heng had been waiting for a long time.
The moment he saw Ming Juezi, he rushed up to meet him: "I wonder what the real person thinks about this matter. Could it be that Mr. Chen was murdered?"
"This is an unusual matter. I hope the master of the house will not mess up the situation." Shen Yanchu said. He asked Liu Ruyan to go to the study to get a blank name book and handed it to the master. "Anyone who left the house without permission last night was suspicious.
, I’ll trouble the head of the family to examine them one by one. In the afternoon, let these people gather in the lobby, and I can make my own judgment.”
Qi Heng immediately agreed. He sent his servants to investigate from courtyard to courtyard, including the celebrities attending the banquet and the servants in the palace. No one was left behind, and finally ten suspicious candidates were found.
In the afternoon, Shen Yanchu and Liu Ruyan arrived as scheduled.
