The two hidden guards disappeared again after Ye Chengyu appeared, and Shen Yunxi and Wen Rongchuan soon came to Ye Chengyu's room.

After seeing Ye Chengyu, Shen Yunxi put away the knife, and the two nodded slightly as a greeting, they seemed to have known each other for a long time.

Wen Rongchuan looked back and forth between the two. Compared to just now, Shen Yunxi's complexion has obviously improved a lot. Obviously, the two are not just friends who met by chance. He couldn't help but think of Shen Xuanyi asking Ye Chengyu when he left the green bamboo forest. ── In terms of appearance, Shen Yunxi and Ye Chengyu can be regarded as a perfect match.

Ye Chengyu waved his hand to signal the two to sit down, Wen Rongchuan snorted coldly, and sat down on both sides of him with Shen Yunxi.

After the simple politeness, Shen Yunxi cut to the chase and said, "Master Ye has been with him for half a month, so do you know that Min Shan was arrested nearly a month ago, and the person who captured him was Wen Rongchuan!"

After all, Shen Yunxi glared fiercely at Wen Rongchuan who was sitting in front of her.

Wen Rongchuan said indifferently: "That's really a coincidence. Master Ye and I left the Yan's house together a month ago. At that time, there was nothing wrong with Yan Minshan."

Because of the commotion just now, Wen Rongchuan was irritable, and his tone towards Shen Yunxi became extremely bad. Ye Chengyu heard his tone was not friendly, and firmly held Wen Rongchuan's wrist with the hand placed under the table, and sat on the other side Shen Yunxi said: "We left Yan's house on the third day of June. Min Shan sent us away at that time, and Rong Chuan has been with me since then, so it is impossible for Min Shan to be taken away by him. Miss Shen, does she know what is going on?" How did it happen?"

Upon hearing this, Shen Yunxi looked at Wen Rongchuan hesitantly for a while, apparently unable to let go of the suspicion in her heart.

But Ye Chengyu's attitude is firm, and Shen Yunxi has no evidence of Wen Rongchuan's actions, so she can only temporarily believe in Wen Rongchuan's innocence.

She shifted her gaze to Wen Rongchuan's knife placed by the table, sighed lightly, and then told what she knew.

On the day when Ye Chengyu and the two left, Yan Minshan returned to the room after seeing them off. The guards stayed outside as usual, but not long after, Yan Minshan came out to order the guards around the room to All guards patrol elsewhere.

Because Yan Minshan personally gave the order, the chief guard did not suspect him, and immediately led the surrounding guards to evacuate. After that, they never saw Yan Minshan stepping out of the room.

It wasn't until lunch time that the servants went to inform Yan Minshan to eat, only to find that Yan Minshan was no longer in the room.

The guards rushed in to investigate, and saw the blood written on the book case by "Wen Rongchuan", and warned the Yan family not to speak out if they still wanted Yan Minshan to live.

After Mrs. Yan learned about it, she was worried that Minshan's disappearance would attract Xiaoxiao who was lurking in the dark, so she also kept the matter a secret.

Shen Yunxi and Yan Minshan were investigating the case of Xinyang Village, and they made an appointment to meet in Xinyang Village that day, but Shen Yunxi couldn't wait for Yan Minshan's arrival, and when she went to Yan's house to inquire about the matter, It was already the morning of the second day.

When explaining this to the two of them, Shen Yunxi seemed very worried.

"At first the guards hesitated and refused to tell the truth. They only told me that Minshan was out with friends and would not be back in a short time. But when I saw their expressions were different, I said that I had already made an appointment with Minshan. They After hesitating for a while, he honestly told me how Min Shan was captured."

Ye Chengyu frowned and said: "Minshan was arrested, the Yan family really suppressed the matter like this?"

Shen Yunxi said: "I also think this is strange. Based on my understanding of Aunt Yan, she is not such a fearful person, but this is a matter of the Yan family after all. Madam Yan also has her considerations in doing this, so this I can only secretly investigate this matter according to the wishes of the Yan family."

Ye Chengyu pondered for a while, and his expression flashed with hesitation: "When you asked, did the guards mention... the guests who were at Yan's house at that time?"

Wen Rongchuan was startled, and suddenly remembered that before they left that day, someone did come to see Yan Minshan. Ye Chengyu would ask this, obviously the guest was still in Yan's house when they left, but there was no such thing in Shen Yunxi's words. Mention the presence of this guest.

Hearing Ye Chengyu's question, Shen Yunxi also frowned: "It is true that the guards did not mention that other people were there. I wonder who Master Ye is referring to?"

Ye Chengyu said vaguely: "A friend."

Seeing that Ye Chengyu didn't want to talk more about that person, Shen Yunxi seemed to understand something, she chuckled lightly, but didn't ask any more questions.

The two were playing riddles here, but Wen Rongchuan sat on the side but was confused, feeling a little uncomfortable, but Shen Yunxi continued: "As far as I know, before Minshan disappeared, he had been investigating the matter of Xinyang Village. In addition, the guards of the Yan family reminded me to be careful of killers, which may have something to do with Min Shan's capture."

As Shen Yunxi said, she put the silver needle she picked up on the table, just as Wen Rongchuan thought, the silver needle was really aimed at Shen Yunxi.

Ye Chengyu picked up the silver needle and looked at it for a while, then asked: "How many times is this?"

Shen Yunxi said: "This is the first time in a month that the killer has made a move. I have already sent guards dressed as overseas Chinese to find out who issued the silver needle."

After all, Shen Yunxi looked at Wen Rongchuan coldly, the meaning behind her words was very clear.

The killer hadn't moved for a month, but he moved at the same time as she met Wen Rongchuan. Such a coincidence, Shen Yunxi really didn't blame her for thinking too much.

Ye Chengyu handed the silver needle to Wen Rongchuan, and said: "I believe that Miss Shen is a sensible person. Rongchuan has been with me during this time. If she really had contact with other people, she must not hide it from me and the secret guard." Eye."

Shen Yunxi stared fixedly at Ye Chengyu for a while, but finally let go and said, "Master Ye is an upright person and also a good friend of Minshan. Since I have your guarantee, then I believe that he did not do this."

Wen Rongchuan snorted and said, "Miss Shen, who is 'reasonable', just came here and decided that I was the murderer, and didn't even give a chance to speak."

Ye Chengyu said: "Miss Shen must be impatient when Minshan is missing, and she will inevitably be impulsive when doing things. Now it's just a matter of clearing up the misunderstanding."

Shen Yunxi said coldly: "I don't know how you came together with Master Ye, but even if you didn't do this, you still have many crimes on your hands. In Weicheng alone, there is a case against the Chu family. , even if I kill you now, it will be for the sake of the people."

Wen Rongchuan sneered, and was about to say a few words of sarcasm, when Ye Chengyu rushed in front of him and said, "Those things were not done by Rongchuan, but were framed by the ghost sect, and Min Minshan also knew about this in detail, I hope Miss Shen can understand."

Wen Rongchuan snorted forcefully, Ye Chengyu looked at him, the hand under the table was tightened again, with a hint of warning, as if he was worried that Shen Yunxi would be offended by what he said nonsense, which made Wen Rongchuan even more depressed .

He threw the silver needle on the table and said with a cold snort: "The poison on this silver needle is the same as that painted on the killer's hidden weapon that he met in the tea shed that day. It seems that he is also a person who taught ghosts."

Ye Chengyu nodded slightly, and said to Shen Yunxi: "If this is the case, then Minshan's disappearance must be related to the Ghost Demon Sect. The person who did it and the killer Miss Shen met were all sent by the ghost king Yang Rui."

Shen Yunxi frowned and said, "Master Ye, although I believe in you, Wen Rongchuan's innocence cannot be proved by a few simple words from you."

As Shen Yunxi said, she took out a wooden board from her bag, on which was written a provocative speech and Wen Rongchuan's signature. The handwriting was strong and powerful, and it was obviously written by a different person from what Ye Chengyu saw at the Yang's house in Yucheng.

Wen Rongchuan wanted to say something, but was stunned after seeing the writing on the wooden board.

Shen Yunxi said: "This is the wooden board that Min Shan and I found in Xinyang Village. Isn't the writing on it left by Wen Rongchuan himself?"

Ye Chengyu said: "The night before we left Yucheng, the Jiang family in the west of the city was also destroyed by 'Wen Rongchuan'. At that time, the same words were left on the wall in blood, but the handwriting was scribbled and clumsy. It is similar to that of Xinyang Village. The fact that the boards were clearly made by different people is enough to prove that these murders were not done by the same person."

Ye Chengyu turned to Wen Rongchuan, and was about to ask him to write it down again, but Wen Rongchuan stared blankly at the board and said, "This...is indeed my handwriting."

Ye Chengyu was startled: "How come? Could it be that Yang Rui imitated your handwriting?"

But if Yang Rui could imitate Wen Rongchuan's handwriting, why would the Jiang family write so distortedly?

Ye Chengyu was wondering, but Wen Rongchuan looked away: "...Maybe."

Seeing Wen Rongchuan's expression changed, Ye Chengyu became even more suspicious, and Wen Rongchuan seemed to dodge guiltily from his probing gaze.

At this time, Shen Yunxi said coldly: "I don't care if someone imitated your handwriting, now I just ask you, did you keep the words on it?"

Wen Rongchuan was silent for a while, and said in a muffled voice, "I didn't leave these words behind, and I never committed any massacres."

After all, Wen Rongchuan fell into deep thought, Ye Chengyu looked at Wen Rongchuan and frowned slightly.

He naturally believed that it wasn't Wen Rongchuan's doing, but Wen Rongchuan's current attitude clearly had something to hide from them.

On the other side, Shen Yunxi received the answer and immediately put the board away again.

"I will investigate this matter again." She stood up and was about to go out, "For the sake of Master Ye, I will believe you this time. But in the future, if I find out that you have lied a word , I, Shen Yunxi, will definitely take your life."

Seeing that Shen Yunxi was about to leave, Ye Chengyu hurriedly said: "Miss Shen, please stop. Since you have been to Yan's house, have you seen the handwriting of the kidnapper left in Yan's house?"

Shen Yunxi said: "The accident took place in Minshan's room, and I was only asking the guards about what happened outside, and I didn't go inside Yan's house. If I want to know the handwriting, I'm afraid I'll have to trouble Master Ye to check it out in person and show the ghosts what happened." On the other hand, I will also investigate, and if there are any clues, I will send someone to notify Master Ye."

Ye Chengyu said again: "Since Miss Shen is looking for Minshan, why don't you go with us?"

Shen Yunxi said: "Wen Rongchuan is not completely innocent yet. I don't move him now because of your guarantee, Mr. Ye, but if you want me to walk with a person whose position is unknown, forgive me for not being so tolerant."

Ye Chengyu stayed and said: "I don't know the position because Miss Shen doesn't know much about him. If that's the case, wouldn't it be better to stay with him for a few days to understand him? I believe that after getting to know him, Miss Shen will also know him." will understand that he was definitely not the one who committed the murder."

Wen Rongchuan snorted coldly at the side: "Come on, you don't want someone to leave, don't use me as an excuse."

Shen Yunxi just said: "Thank you, Master Ye, for your kindness, but I think Minshan's whereabouts are unknown, and it would be much easier to find them separately. Let me leave."

Her eyes flicked across the knife in Wen Rongchuan's hand again, and she seemed to hesitate for a while before saying to Wen Rongchuan: "I hope you can take good care of this knife."

After finishing speaking, Shen Yunxi cupped her fists at Ye Chengyu, and left the room just like that.
