After I was reborn, I became a supporting villain

Chapter 19 [Picking Up Nine] Unsolved Cases ([-])
It was Xu time when we returned to the inn, and many people had already entered the room to rest. Qingci walked slowly into the room in a soft voice, for fear of disturbing Jinyu who was still resting.

Unexpectedly, when she opened the door, there were actually candles flickering in the room.

Jinyu was sitting on the bed, leaning against her, reading at night with a scroll in her hand.

When Jinyu heard the movement, she looked up and saw Qingci's handsome face appearing at the door with a tired face, "I've been waiting for you for a long time, I don't know when you will come back, the sweet porridge you cook is delicious."

Qingci smiled falsely, "I'm afraid you won't wake up again."

"No." With two simple words, it seemed to let go of all kinds of melancholy in my heart, "Tell me, what did you discover today."

Qingci sat beside Jinyu's bed, and wanted to tell him about the bracelet, but then swallowed the words, "I didn't find anything in the morning."

"Then what about you in the afternoon, where did you go in the afternoon?"

After hesitating for a moment, Qing Ci replied, "I went to Yuncui Building for a cup of tea, but nothing happened."

Looking into Qingci's eyes, Jinyu always felt that her eyes seemed to be a little dodgy, as if she was hiding something from him.

From the looks of it, Qingci wasted a whole day, but Jinyu didn't blame her either.

"Just now when you were away, I picked up the case record file that Li Ye left me this morning and read it carefully for a while. After careful consideration, the first three cases and the three deceased actually have one thing in common."

"They were born in the same year, but not in the same month, and most importantly, they were all born near Daluo Mountain. It's just that the son of the wealthy businessman in the first case moved with his father shortly after he was born." Handed her the document, "The three were born in Meiyue, Juyue, and Taoyue, which are December, September and March."

After listening to Qing Ci, he thought for a moment and said, "The plum moon belongs to the end of winter, the chrysanthemum moon belongs to autumn, and the peach moon belongs to late spring."

Jinyu followed Qingci's train of thought and continued, "And I carefully observed the birth dates of the three of them. According to the heavenly stems A, B and the earthly branch's Yin, Mao belongs to wood, the heavenly stem's C, Ding and the earthly branch's Si. , Wu belongs to fire, etc., the first dead person happens to belong to water, the second dead person belongs to metal, and the third dead person belongs to wood.”

After listening to Qingci, he suddenly remembered something, "Four Divine Beasts..."

"Yes." Jinyu smiled, "How did you think of it?"

"When I was listening to the storyteller in the Yuncui Building this afternoon, I seemed to mention... divine beasts... and so on." Qingci pretended to try hard to remember.

"Every 1000 years, the Emperor of Heaven will select mortals whom he considers to be extremely talented, and attach the spirits of divine beasts to them. After they have experienced life's seven emotions, six desires, life, old age, sickness, death, love, hatred, and death, they will turn into divine beasts and ascend to heaven to guard the heaven." As Jinyu spoke, she coughed from time to time, as if she was still a little weak.

Qingci patted him on the back softly, "I understand, you don't have to speak anymore, take a good rest."

Qingci helped him lie down and put the scroll on the table.

She has an appointment with Xue Mei tonight, she has never forgotten it.

It would be more convenient for Jinyu to rest earlier, so she said, "It's been hard work for you to find so many clues. Let's take a good rest today."

After extinguishing the candle, she glanced at Jinyu who was gradually falling asleep. She never expected that he would have such a breakthrough after being alone in the room for a day.

Qing Ci lowered her eyes, it seemed that she had to quicken her pace.

After glancing at the moon in the sky, it was almost time to set off for Tianxiang Pavilion.
