So after solving this point, clues three and four seem to be of little value, after all, the answer to the mystery has been solved.

But Su Anran knew that this thing must not be that simple.

Because so far, every clue given by the system must be related, and even new problems will be involved.

For example, clues three and four seem to be solved, but the question involved is: what is the relationship between the pastry shop owner and Zhou Yitong?Even at the expense of anonymity, he came to settle in this small village.

There must be deep involvement and secrets that he has not discovered yet.

But Su Anran knew that this was the reason why the progress was too fast due to the cheating device.

Because if ordinary people encounter this kind of problem, it will take a lot of time to search and ask for clues in all aspects, and the subsequent intelligence sorting and analysis is not an easy task.Therefore, it is absolutely impossible for someone like Su Anran to reason the whole incident to such an extent in just half a day, and almost solve the problem.

"Huh." Su Anran exhaled lightly, "The next step is the last step."

"Little friend, why are you looking for us in such a hurry?"

"I probably already know the specific situation." Su Anran looked at the head of the Tianluomen, several elders of the Tianluomen, and three personal disciples.

"What?" An elder showed surprise, "It's only been half a day..."

"The matter is not complicated, so it is enough." Su Anran nodded slightly, "But before that, I hope you can capture the owner of the pastry shop. Only when I find him and I ask the last question can I be sure what happened Who is the murderer."

"Are you sure?" The head of Tianluomen frowned, "You suspect more than one person now?"

"Yes." Su Anran did not deny, "I have three suspects here, and the owner of the pastry shop is one of them. But he is indeed a key person, so we must find him and ask what I want. Only then can I identify the murderer."

"Can you tell me who the other two are?"

"Not for the time being." Su Anran shook her head, "I don't want to wrong anyone until I get real evidence. This is my habit, please forgive me."

"Then let's go to the pastry shop in the village now."

"I came back there just now, and the pastry chef has already run away." Su Anran said, "It should be the moment Zhou Yitong died, and the other party left immediately. But the other party kept secrets, and some things were not dealt with." It was clean, and I found it."

"what?"

"One of the things is the dream grass."

"Returning Dream Grass?" Several elders were taken aback, "What can that thing do?"

"The slow speed of Zhou Yitong's cultivation is not due to his lack of talent, but because he was also injured when he had an adventure, so the true energy in his body will run away at any time, so he needs to suppress it with dream grass every once in a while." Su Anran did not hide it. This clue, but said directly, "The pastry chef is a monk, and the other party used the way of making spiritual meal to medicine the dream back grass into a kind of white jade cake, and then through the disciples of the outer sect of Tianluomen to replace it." The illusion of Zhou Tong running errands brought him this kind of spiritual meal."

"What!" The man who was Zhou Yitong's master was shocked, "But when I was accepting apprentices, I obviously checked him, I..."

"So he must have concealed something at the beginning, and it should be the handiwork of the pastry chef." Su Anran replied, "After all, he can make spiritual food and ignite the smokeless charcoal of the elixir, and the other party must be a strong one. The alchemist. The personal elixir made by the alchemist is full of strange things, so this is also very normal."

"I understand." The head of Tian Luo Sect nodded slightly, "Please trouble the two elders to follow the route to the Dream Grass Valley and Xiaoxiangzhilin... The other party has only been away for half a day. At this time, at the speed of the two elders , should be able to catch up soon.”

Huimeng Grass Valley and Xiaoxiang Zhilin are located in the northwest and northeast of Tianluomen respectively.

Xiaoxiangzhilin is the only official road that is close to the sect with the teleportation array, and it is about a day's walk from Tianluomen.Going back to Dream Grass Valley, Su Anran had already heard from the head of Tianluomen that it would take about two days to travel—this was also what surprised Su Anran, he did not expect that there was actually a growing area in the mountains near Tianluomen. Back to the valley of dream grass, no wonder the pastry chef can have a stable channel of dream grass.

"But the other party has been away for a long time, I'm afraid it will be difficult to catch up?"

"Hehe, this footstep is calculated based on the level of a monk below the natal realm, but if it is the elder of my sect, then it is unnecessary." The head of Tianluomen said with a smile, "It doesn't take two hours. It's enough for them to catch the person back, little friend just wait for a while."

Su Anran was a little surprised: "A monk below the natal realm? The owner of the pastry shop is actually below the natal realm?"

"That's for sure." The head of the Tianluomen nodded, "If the other party has a cultivation level above the natal realm, I would have discovered it a long time ago. Unless the other party has taken a pill that can hide the cultivation level, or practiced similar Secret technique. But if this is the case, then if he wants to kill Yitong, he can do it directly while Yitong is going to the village, there is no need to poison."

【Ding--】

Su Anran ignored the head of the Tianluo Sect who was in urgent need of rainbow fart deepening, and immediately opened her mission system to check for new clues.

[Clue 5: The pastry shop owner's cultivation is below the natal realm. 】

"I see." Su Anran nodded suddenly.

The head of Tianluomen nodded with a smile and said nothing.

After about two hours, the two appointed elders returned to the sect.

Seeing the empty-handed appearance of these two elders, the head of Tianluomen couldn't help frowning: "Are you run away?"

"No, no one was found." The faces of the two elders looked rather ugly, "We chased all the way, and then went back the same way to investigate carefully, but we didn't find any trace... We suspect that the other party may be the Did not run, even hid in the village."

"Let's go to the village to have a look." The head of Tianluomen got up immediately.

"No need." Su Anran suddenly said at this moment, "The person you will never find."

"Why?" The elders were all taken aback.

"Could it be that..." the head of Tianluomen realized something, with a little surprise on his face, "He died?"

"I'm going to ask you this, Master Yang." Su Anran suddenly smiled.

"Ask me? What do you mean, little friend?" The head of Tianluomen asked with a puzzled expression, frowning, "I don't quite understand."

"Of course it's literally." Su Anran shrugged, "I've already figured out a lot of things, the only thing I still don't understand is why you killed Zhou Yitong? If it's because of the sale of the ancient sacred tree, then You should have done it five years ago, instead of delaying it until now... But since you choose to do it now, then there must be some unexpected changes, or... Zhou Yitong is out of your control."

"You little brat, what are you talking about!"

Several elders and guests have already started to curse.

Su Anran looked at these people with a speechless face. He felt that these monks in the natal realm could become the elders of Tianluomen, not because of their strength, but because they were stupid enough and knew how to send rainbow farts. .

"You people, you have to help count the money after being sold." Su Anran shook her head, "I really don't know how you all cultivated to be in the natal realm, God is really blind."

"You brat!"

"It's madness!"

Su Anran didn't bother to pay attention to these pig heads. He turned his head and looked at the head of Tianluomen, with a very helpless expression on his face: "I don't know what kind of trouble Zhou Yitong got involved in, but I don't really care. As I said before By the way, I just came to Zhou Yitong to ask about the ancient Shenmu, but he died unexpectedly in front of me. In fact, I was forced to get involved in this trouble. You should understand my feeling of beeping the dog, right? ?”

"Beep the dog?" The head of Tianluomen couldn't understand, but soon he shook his head and said with a smile, "When did you find out? Or, where did I show my flaws and caused you to suspect? ?”

The heads of several Tianluomen were stunned.

Why did you say that, the painting style of the master suddenly changed?

How do we wash this place?

"Actually, there wasn't one at the beginning." Su Anran shook her head, "The person I doubted the first time was not you, but your personal disciple Luo Yuan."

"Me?" Luo Yuan looked confused.

From the beginning to the end of the whole incident, he didn't understand it at all. It was purely a background passerby with only a name.

"Because you and Fang Min are the only two people who are relatively close to Zhou Yitong, and it also fits some abnormalities in the period when Zhou Yitong got the adventure." Su Anran looked at Luo Yuan, and then explained, "For example Your cultivation has improved by leaps and bounds during that time."

"I was..."

"Okay, needless to say, since you are not a prisoner, I am not interested in why your strength has improved by leaps and bounds." Su Anran stopped and signaled Luo Yuan not to say any more, "Who hasn't had an adventure yet."

Luo Yuan opened his mouth, but didn't know what to say.

He suddenly felt like he was a little bit hard.

"Let's talk about Zhou Yitong's death." Su Anran looked at the head of Tianluomen, and then continued, "I said that I just came to Zhou Yitong to find out something, but at first you But when it came time to lead the topic to the secret realm, I really thought that Zhou Yitong had entered a certain secret realm and gained considerable benefits from it... But this kind of thing is also normal, after all, adventures in the mysterious world are not Mostly, when it comes to adventures, you must have strayed into a secret realm or realm that has not yet been discovered."

At the very beginning, Su Anran did not have the slightest doubt about this.

However, it wasn't until he checked the clues again that he realized that he had been misled.

[Clue 1: Zhou Yitong once had an adventure. 】

From the beginning to the end, the prompts given by the system are "adventures", not "secret realms".

If, as the head of Tianluomen said, Zhou Yitong had entered a certain secret realm, then the system's prompt would have changed a long time ago.

This point can be known when referring to clue four.

[Clue 4: The white jade cake seems to be a kind of spiritual meal, with some special ingredients added to it. 】

[Clue 4: White Jade Cake is a kind of spiritual meal, which contains dream-returning grass. 】

It is also the fourth clue, but the change of information is after an "international phone call" between Su Anran and the elder sister Fang Qianwen.At that time, Su Anran noticed that the head of Tianluomen had repeatedly hinted that Zhou Yitong had entered a secret realm by mistake, but the clue [-] had never been updated, so at that time he said "Zhou Tong entered a secret realm" This information was removed.

Of course, Su Anran would never say these words.

What he said was: "Afterwards, I learned through inquiries that Luo Yuan and Fang Min had a close personal relationship with Zhou Yitong. Moreover, Zhou Yitong and Fang Min both like to go to the pastry shop in the village to buy pastries... Monday What Tong bought was white jade cake, but it was actually a spiritual meal to cure his unmentionable illness; while Fang Min bought peach osmanthus cake, a kind of cake that was so sweet that it made people feel sick. I didn’t notice it at first, After thinking about it carefully, I discovered the commonality among them.”

"Oh?" The head of Tianluomen raised his brows, "What do they have in common?"

"Not ordinary people can eat." Su Anran said lightly, "but the peach osmanthus cake is just a very ordinary pastry, without any aura, so why does Fang Min always buy this thing? So I made a bold guess, It must have been some sort of mission he had agreed with the pastry shop owner."

"Where's the evidence?"

"The evidence is that Fang Min buys peach osmanthus cake and Monday pass buys white jade cake at a fixed time." Su Anran shrugged, "Your preset communication method is too careless... Monday pass buys white jade cake It’s understandable that the time is fixed, but a normal monk still needs a fixed time to buy some snacks? Are you sick?”

"So that's the case." The head of Tianluomen nodded, "It was indeed negligent. But how did you know it was me?"

"With the death of Zhou Yitong, the only people who can kill him are those inside the Tianluo Sect, but there are not many people who can get close to Zhou Yitong. I asked the disciples of the outer sect, and it is absolutely impossible to do it, while the disciples of the inner sect The disciple couldn't find anyone because of Fang Min's going out, so I did suspect Luo Yuan for a while."

"I?"

"Ah, you have nothing to do now, just stand there and don't talk." Su Anran waved her hand as if to repel flies.

Luo Yuan's little grievance.jpg.

"At first I didn't think of a coincidence, but I did have suspicions that the owner of the pastry shop was from Tianluomen and the real murderer who killed Zhou Yitong." Su Anran shrugged, "Because Zhou Yitong died of various factors. It is a strong poison formed by contact with the toxins. And the owner of the pastry shop is obviously also an alchemist who can use spiritual implants. Isn't it quite normal for an alchemist to master some poison theory and poisoning skills... So at that moment , I will lock the murderer."

"The owner of the pastry shop, Luo Yuan, and Fang Min are the three people I suspected at first... But then I thought about it carefully, could the owner of the pastry shop be one of Luo Yuan or Fang Min? If If this is the case, then the list of murderers can be narrowed down to two people." Su Anran stretched out two fingers, "This is consistent with my previous reasoning that Fang Min was communicating with the owner of the pastry shop in secret. It is certain that Zhou Yitong was poisoned and murdered by others, and the murderer was two people instead of one."

"Then why do you doubt me?"

"You exposed it yourself." Su Anran said, "It is said that the villain died because of talking too much, and you have exposed too much information yourself. Especially you are very sure that the pastry shop owner's cultivation is below the realm of life, and you said All the journeys are based on monks who have been cultivated below the natal realm."

[Clue 5: The pastry shop owner's cultivation is below the natal realm. 】

"It takes more than half an hour for me to go to the pastry shop in the village, but if it was you, I'm afraid it will not take a few minutes? Then you will have a long time to clean up all traces of your existence in the pastry shop. "Su Anran said, "And only you can come and go with Tianluomen and the pastry shop without anyone noticing. Only you can arrange actions for Fang Min that will not arouse suspicion."

"After eliminating all the impossible, the last remaining answer, no matter how absurd, is the truth." Su Anran held up a finger, "Because there is always only one truth!"

The head of Tianluomen smiled and began to applaud: "It's really a wonderful reasoning, although some of it is not very rigorous, and I can't figure out how you connected, but I can only say that you His thinking is quite jumpy and active, and he has quite amazing intuition... If, if it takes one or two more days, then you should never find any clues about this matter. It's a pity, but you only spent a few minutes In half a day..."

Because I have plug-ins.

Su Anran smiled: "I'm so honored... But I really can't understand why you killed Zhou Yitong."

"It's not that I want to kill him, but the people above want to kill him."

"The people above?" Su Anran was puzzled.

"You won't understand even if I tell you, you're not someone from Shocking Hall." The head of Tian Luo Sect shook his head.

Amazing!

Su Anran pretended to be puzzled on the surface, but she was quite shocked in her heart.

Although he is quite unfamiliar with the organization of Jingshitang, at least he has heard of it.

On the surface, this organization is an emerging force organization, with members all over the mysterious world. It is almost composed of countless geniuses and has a strong influence. It has even gradually become the vane of the younger generation in the mysterious world: most young monks They are all proud to be able to join the Shocking Hall.

But in fact, the core members of Shocking Hall are all reincarnations in the reincarnation of the world, or the camp of those who are afraid of chaos in the world.

"Is it related to the ancient god tree?" Su Anran asked.

He has not forgotten his mission, which is to collect the whereabouts of other ancient sacred trees.

This enigmatic Tianluomen murder incident is just a small episode in it.

"It's okay to tell you, anyway, you are dead." The head of Tianluomen said slowly, "Yitong is also a member of Jingshitang. He joined Jingshitang five years ago. But in fact he just came in Spying on Jingshitang’s information, and the ancient sacred tree in your hand was indeed sold by him when we were not paying attention. It’s just that he himself didn’t expect that the Lone Cliff faction would seize the ancient sacred tree for a long time. It’s been five years, and it’s only recently been put up for auction.”

"Sure enough, I still keep my mouth shut." Su Anran nodded, "Then you know the news about the ancient Shenmu?"

"Of course I know." The head of Tianluomen nodded, "but why should I tell you? You are just a dead man, and after killing you, I can recover this ancient sacred tree. Shitang’s mission requirements have been overfulfilled.”

Su Anran sighed: "So in the end, we still have to fight."

"It's really naive." The head of Tianluomen shook his head, "I admit that I did underestimate you before, I didn't expect you to find out so many things. But it's not too late now, a mere fourth-level Tongqiao Realm It’s just a little monk, I will kill if I want to... Four elders, what I told you about the secret realm and the rise of our Tianluomen is true, you don’t need to worry, wait for me to take down this little Guys, I’ll explain it to you later.”

"Do you want to catch it without a fight and take out the ancient god tree yourself, or do you want me to kill you and get it myself?"

"Say it as if you will let me go if I take it out myself."

"If you are willing to join Jingshitang, it's not that you can't consider it." For Su Anran who can discover so many things in half a day, the head of Tianluomen still appreciates it, especially he thinks that Su Anran dares to travel like this , and also bid for the ancient sacred tree, the master behind him must be extraordinary.

This kind of distinguished disciple is the most favorite member of Jingshitang.

"Let me ask."

"what?"

"Tell me everything you know about the ancient Shenmu, maybe I can spare your life if I'm in a good mood."

"Heh, since you're asking for death, then..."
