"I..." Tao Mo stared at the jade pendant in his hand, as if overnight, he became very unfamiliar with this ornament that had been with him for many years. It will become evidence that reveals the identity of the murderer.

Everything seems to have been designed.

Tao Mo thought of Bai Wangyan's every possible way of blocking him before going to Yanshi Pavilion, and his mind suddenly became clear.That mysterious white-clothed scholar had expected it... That's why he stopped Mo Bin, and that's why he told himself to be careful, and that's why he tried to find a way to send himself out of the villa.

It's a pity that the crowd surrounded him layer upon layer, almost making him breathless, and he couldn't find the white shadow through the wall-like crowd.

"I ask you, is this waist pendant really yours!" The expression on Mo Li's face instantly resembled a Rakshasa in hell, ferocious and ferocious, like a tall, thin black ghost standing in the center of the hall.

The voice of questioning echoed in the hall, hit Tao Mo's ears, and made his brain buzz.Suddenly feeling dizzy, Tao Mo stared blankly at the familiar emerald jade pendant in his hand, on which there was blood that had turned brown. Suddenly, the blood gushed out from the jade pendant, splashed onto the ground, and turned into a stench unbearable blood...

Tao Mo blinked vigorously, and his mind returned to clarity. The emerald jade pendant was nothing more than an emerald jade pendant stained with blood.

It's his stuff.

"Yes," Tao Mo replied, lowering his head, "it's mine."

"You!" Mo Bin, who was standing behind Mo Li, heard Tao Mo's honest and silly answer, and suddenly became angry again, with a severe headache.

"It's yours, okay, so it's your jade pendant," Mo Li seemed to have finally got what he wanted, he turned around slowly, and showed a smile to his domineering third brother before. With a cruel smile, "It seems that the murderer who killed my father was found without any effort."

Mo Bin's face was once again as cloudy as the sky outside. He clenched his fists tightly and stared at Mo Oak, but Mo Oak just looked away.

"How did this kind of unknown person get in here!" Someone shouted.

"Kill him! Pay for Zhuang Zhu's life!"

"kill him!"

"It's, it's really yours... Brother Tao, how could you do such a thing!" Wang Yong asked in pain, "Why did you kill Zhuang Mo!"

"Wang Yong!" Jin Shuisheng glared at his subordinates fiercely. Wang Yong shut his mouth immediately, but his gaze was still piercing Tao Mo like a knife.

Jin Shuisheng sighed, and said, "Don't be impatient, all chivalrous men, there are still many doubts about this matter. Young Master Mo, how do you deduce that this thing was indeed left by the murderer? It is also very possible to deliberately frame Tao Shaoxia .”

Regarding Jin Shuisheng's rhetorical question, Mo Li answered very fluently: "Mr. Jin, I heard that Tao Shaoxia was your savior before? Maybe it is also possible that he deliberately sneaked into the manor with the opportunity of saving you? The reporter said that my third brother would never bring anyone into his secret place casually. It must be this "Tao Shaoxia" who pretended to be honest and tricked my third brother! All this is easy to speculate. My third brother entered the Yanshi Pavilion to assassinate his father, but he never expected that his own jade pendant remained next to the body... If it weren't for this evidence, I don't believe that this seemingly honest Tao Shaoxia would do such a thing. matter!"

Jin Shuisheng didn't answer immediately, Mo Li said what he was thinking before, but he always felt that something was missing, but with Tao Mo's secretive answer to him before, the owner of the bustling chamber of commerce just bowed his head and twisted his beard. language.

After these words, there was no continuation, Tao Mo cast a look at Jin Shuisheng, but what he got was a suspicious look.As if his heart sank into the bottom of a cold lake, Tao Mo knew that what he was talking about at the moment was just a sophistry.

Seeing that Jin Shuisheng was silent, Mo Li's tone changed: "Tao Shaoxia, is there anything else you want to say? About how you entered the Tiange, and why you murdered my father!"

"This jade pendant is mine." Under Mo Li's repeated questioning, even Tao Mo had to argue for himself, "But the owner was not killed by me."

"The ironclad evidence is like a mountain, yet you still dare to argue!" Mo Li roared angrily, "What kind of grudge does my father have with you, and why did you kill him!"

"There is no grievance, and I didn't kill it." Tao Mo suddenly raised his head and looked directly at Mo Oak in the center of the hall.Since no one can help him defend himself, now only he can get a chance if he resists. After all, he can't just be trapped here because of an unjust case.He still has other things to do, for example, find Mr. Ge... Although Tao Mo has continued to live like a duckweed since the Shimen tragedy happened, he must fulfill his master's last wish before he died here!

"you!"

"The young master said so."

Thunder rumbled from the sky, rainstorm hit the eaves, and the hall was full of chaos. Among the chaos, only this clear and clear voice pierced into Tao Mo's head, catching him off guard.Among the crowd, that white shadow stood in the corner, but it was particularly obvious in his sight.

The person who speaks is Bai Wangyan.

Grief, disbelief, and disappointment mixed together on Tao Mo's face, shattering the original calm expression.No one believed him anymore, because this so-called evidence, whether it was Mr. Jin who always believed in him, Wang Yong who called him brother and brother, or Mo Bin who said before that he wanted to make friends with him, all chose to remain silent.But now, Bai Wangyan, whom he sent his last hope, still said something like this...

In the crowded hall, it seemed that he was the only one left, standing alone, alone.

The white-clothed scholar leisurely waved his white fan, walked to Young Master Mo from the corner of the hall, cupped his fists at him, and continued to speak loudly: "It is indeed possible that the murderer lost this jade pendant."

Mo Bin, who was almost hidden in the darkness, looked at Bai Wangyan in shock, and muttered, "You...what are you talking about!"

This Bai Wangyan had been protecting Tao Mo, but at this moment... Mo Bin was startled, could it be that he thought of something?

This next sentence made Tao Mo's already cold heart even colder. He lowered his head at this moment, with his forehead covering his eyes.He didn't dare to look at the face of the white-clothed scholar. At this moment, all hopes were like extinguished flames, turning into cold ashes.

"But can the murderer who killed the owner here be so negligent and leave his things here without anyone noticing?" The white fan closed, and the white-clothed scholar cast his gaze at the crowd in the hall, then retracted it, and turned to On First Young Master Mo, he stared into Mo Li's eyes, and said seriously, "Young Master, this matter is strange, we must not just convict Tao Shaoxia like this."

"Oh?" Mo Li narrowed his eyes slightly, but Mo Bin breathed a sigh of relief. It seems that there is a way to forget the words!

The crowd began to whisper again, and it seemed that what he said had an effect.Bai Wangyan took a step forward and continued, "Young master, I know you are eager to pursue the murderer, but if you conclude that Tao Shaoxia is the murderer with just a jade pendant, wouldn't you let the real murderer go free? Tao Shaoxia, an outsider who has just entered the villa, how did he enter the Tiange to commit murder? What kind of weapon caused the owner's chest injury? Since you speculated earlier that Tao Shaoxia pretended to be honest and silent to approach Mr. Jin, then with his scheming, He should not have committed such negligence, and the matter of the waist pendant is very far-fetched."

His words were enough to shake people who didn't know the truth, but some people who firmly insisted that Tao Mo was the murderer questioned him.

"What are you? The evidence is conclusive. Do you still want to defend him!"

"Me?" Bai Wangyan snorted, "This time, not only Tao Shaoxia and the third young master Mo entered the Yanshi Pavilion, but I am also one of them. According to the statement of the young master, any one of the three of us may Murder! Or, did the young master think that the three of us did this together?" Having said this, Bai Wangyan held the fan in his hand, and turned to look at Mo Li.

Mo Bin, who was already relieved, was coughed by these words. In order to excuse Tao Mo, Bai Wangyan even brought him out!

Looking at Mo Bin who was coughing loudly, a trace of haze flashed across Mo Li's eyes, but it disappeared quickly. He once again assumed the demeanor of the young master of Senluo Mountain Villa. It was completely different from the previous aggressive attitude. His calm Looking at the white-clothed scholar in front of him, he spit out a few words: "So, what does Mr. Bai want?"

The folding fan was held in Bai Wangyan's hands. He lowered his eyebrows and his tone softened a lot: "I implore the young master to let me investigate this matter. I will definitely find out the real culprit and comfort the spirit of the owner in heaven."

Mo Li squinted at him, clenched the jade pendant tightly in his hand, and even his fingertips turned slightly white. Finally, he let go of his hand and said in a deep voice, "Okay, but I can only give you one day. Tomorrow today, If Mr. Bai can't find out the so-called real culprit... then don't blame me for being ruthless."

"Thank you, Young Master." Bai Wangyan saluted Mo Li deeply, after that, he turned around, passed through the crowd, walked straight to Tao Mo, and stretched out his hand to him.

"Tao Shaoxia, this way please, I have something to ask you."

Tao Mo raised his eyes and met his eyes that were about to shine, and lost all words for a while.

Like the morning sun peeking out from behind thick clouds, this light pierced through the oppressive haze around him at this moment.When isolated and helpless, it was Bai Wangyan who was trying to buy time for himself and defend himself. Tao Mo only felt that something was slowly thawing in his heart, making the slight sound of a glacier breaking.

But there was another voice in his heart echoing in his head.

"The people you rely on will eventually face annihilation, just like your master... fell into a pool of blood."
