After asking ten questions like this, Meng Qi and Zhuang Li's eyes also fell on him. Song Minhuan came back to his senses, and was really fascinated by Shen Yingxue just now.

He opened his mouth, but before he had time to explain, Meng Qi from the ten sides laughed and said, "Because Xianjun looks good, it's normal to be fascinated by Shanshan."

Hearing this, Zhuang Li looked up at Shen Yingxue's face with ten eyes, paused for ten moments, then looked away, and then his breath became a little indifferent.

Shen Yingxue on the opposite side had a panoramic view of the reactions of the three children. Meng Qi was heartless, Zhuang Li disliked him, and the eldest apprentice seemed to be curious about him.

Song Minhuan frankly said: "Master is really good-looking, but I just thought of it."

His eyes swept across the stairs of the inn, which were made of wood, and when they came down, they were facing the door of the inn.

"Yesterday, when we came down, we met ten night flower girls, do you still remember?"

Meng Qi: "Remember, you said at the time that you thought she was strange. I thought it was the tenth time you saw this kind of woman working in a dark kiln."

"Night Flower Girl was also something we met ten times... At that time, you were the only one who felt something was wrong, but was it because of this? It doesn't make sense."

After all, when they said it was strange, they didn't say it in front of the night flower girl, and Song Minhuan didn't say ten words to that night flower girl, they just passed by and looked at it ten times.

Song Minhuan: "I felt weird at the time. I was closest to her at that time, and she smelled terrible...and she gave me ten kinds of disobedience."

"Sense of violation?"

"It's the feeling that her temperament doesn't match. She walks like... like Zhuang Li, a disciple who has abided by his rules for a long time. She can tell even if she deliberately pretends to be a martial artist."

Song Minhuan: "I used to watch Zhuang Li practice swords often. Zhuang Li's walking posture is as inscribed in his bones, with ten tenacity. I can recognize him just by looking at his back."

"Later, I observed other disciples. Many disciples were very similar to Zhuang Li, especially those who practiced swords every day. I don't know if it was because they absorbed the influence of spiritual energy over time. can avoid making a sound."

Zhuang Li turned to look at him, "Are you following me?"

Anyway, it happened a long time ago, Song Minhuan admitted: "At that time, I asked you where you were going and you ignored me, and the master was not there. I was afraid that something would happen to you, so I went to see what you do every day."

"What about me? Can you recognize me by looking at my back?" Meng Qi asked curiously.

Song Minhuan: "Yes, we are already very familiar with each other, you can recognize me in ten ways."

Meng Qi: "But what if I pretend to be intentional?"

Zhuang Li: "Can you tell the difference between disciples who cultivate immortals and ordinary people with ten eyes?"

Of course Meng Qi could, as long as his cultivation was not too much higher than theirs, ordinary disciples of cultivating immortals would of course be able to tell.

She understood Zhuang Li's meaning, the night flower girl was pretending yesterday, they didn't see it, but Song Minhuan did.Because Song Minhuan's observations are more detailed than theirs, it feels a little different.

These are still doubts, and the specific situation of the night flower girl remains to be seen.

"According to what you said, there may indeed be something wrong with that night flower girl. Now whether there is any problem or not, let's check first. I don't know whose room she went to yesterday."

"Now we are definitely not the only ones to check, let's inquire about the news first."

Zhuang Li sat in his seat without moving, and calmly said: "I remember more than ten times."

"That's because you go out too many times." Song Minhuan patted Zhuang Li on the shoulder, "Brother is worried about you, afraid that you will be bullied by other disciples in the peak."

The three of them went to inquire again, and learned that the night flower girl was indeed called by ten disciples yesterday, in the ten alleys behind Shanglin Street in Chongguang City, and all the night flower girls lived in that alley.

"Are you going there too? The night flower girl tastes really good, but you have to be careful not to be discovered by your elders."

Meng Qi smiled and said, "I think the one you called yesterday looks very exciting. Do you remember where she lives?"

"You said Biying, you really have a vision, she also lives there, in the alley to the west... I don't remember the details, she was waiting for someone outside the door. Just come over."

Song Minhuan asked, "Did she stay with you all day yesterday? What time did you leave?"

"Why are you asking this?" The disciple came to his senses, "You suspect her? She stayed with me until yesterday and left this morning."

"I don't know the rest, what about the spirit stone you agreed on?"

Meng Qi threw two low-grade spirit stones into the disciple's hands.

They were on the second floor when they heard bustling sounds from the tenth floor.Song Minhuan leaned on the railing and looked around, and heard the discussion of the disciples next to him.

"It's Xu Wanqin from Haoyue Peak... I didn't expect to send him to investigate the case."

He saw the teenagers surrounded by the door.

The young man is dressed in a robe of cirrus clouds with star and moon patterns, his black hair flies into his temples obliquely, his eyebrows are straight and straight, his lips are extremely pale, and his ten pairs of black eyes are calm and indifferent when looking at people.The aura on his body is very restrained, he doesn't have the poor and silent background of a humble family, on the contrary, he has a reliable majesty and convincing force in his gestures and gestures.

Meng Qi whistled and said with a smile, "The watchdog from Shangjing is here."

"Yesterday, when I heard that he had entered the Dao of Kendo for three years, I admired him a little bit. I didn't expect him to be from Shangjing."

Song Minhuan understood after hearing this. He had heard of these things before. There are twelve cities in the Twelve Prefectures of Jingzhao, among which "Shangjing" is the name of a similar organization founded by ten royal cities and some sect monks. The organization exists to maintain the aristocratic families that surround the royal city and the monks.

They serve exclusively for the aristocratic family, listen to the orders of the aristocratic family, and do things for the aristocratic family. Their organizations exist in the three realms.

Originally, "Shangjing" was nothing. After decades of development, it has gradually taken over dozens of underground workshops. surgery.

For those who offended aristocratic families, they protected each other from officials and officials, and directly silenced people behind their backs. Besides, they also did a lot of things that were criticized.Although these things have not been widely spread, there are still many monks who know about them.

Many of these sects kept their eyes open and closed their eyes. Many monks knew about "Shangjing" with scorn, and many monks appealed to disband the organization, but the four major sects all opposed it.

"I don't know the significance of the existence of this organization. Could it be that the aristocratic family's own strength is not enough? Staying here will only harm people."

Originally, Meng Qi had a good impression of Xu Wanqin. She knew that Shangjing would send someone over, but she didn't expect to send Xu Wanqin.In this way, the impression is greatly reduced.

"Naturally there are reasons for existence. It must be a lot easier to travel if you can enter Shangjing. Everyone has different choices."

They are just ten knives, can the knives make their own choices?Whoever his master wants him to kill, he must kill.Since he wants to climb up, it is naturally impossible for him to choose everything by himself. There are too many times when they don't want to do it and have to do it, even if they have to.

If you choose this path, no matter how hard it is, you will smash it into your stomach, otherwise everything will be in vain.

"They have done so many evil things behind their backs. This arrest of a disciple with a low cultivation level may be the tenth of the illegal transactions they have done. It's really... a thief calling for a thief."

Song Min laughed happily, "I'd like to see how they solve this matter."

While they were talking, Xu Wanqin had already gone upstairs.

Xu Wanqin was followed by two disciples, all of them were star-moon patterns in all colors, which were the patterns of Haoyue Peak's sect.In addition, they all wear bronze tokens on their waists, with the word "Shangjing" plated in gold on them.

The three of them went to the sealed room of Shui Jiuqi at the end, where people from the Shui family were guarding, and after they showed their tokens, they were let in.

Meng Qi: "Let's go in and have a look."

Zhuang Li: "We may not be able to get in."

"That's not certain. They have tokens in their hands, but we also have reward orders from outside."

Meng Qi said that she had already passed with the reward order, but the people from the Shui family also let her go after seeing it.

"Come here," Meng Qi waved towards them.

The three of them went in with Shi Qi, and they were the only ones inside at the moment, and there were disciples who also followed in. The guards of the Shui family didn't let anyone in.

"There are already enough people inside. If you want to enter, you have to wait for them to come out."

The room has been sealed by magic, and they will not destroy the scene if they go in.There were still bloodstains on the ground, and the bloodstains spread into the room from the outside. It could be seen how Shui Jiuqi crawled out of the room.

"Shui Jiuqi's cultivation is not low. If the murderer wants to kill him easily, his cultivation needs to be at least two levels higher than him. In Chongguang City, there are not many people who are two levels higher than him."

They didn't hear anything in the inn last night. Obviously, it was very easy for the murderer to kill Shui Jiuqi, and Shui Jiuqi was almost helpless.

Song Minhuan entered the room ten times, and smelled incense in the room.He looked at the censer in the corner, there were ten layers of incense ash on it, and the incense sticks had long been extinguished.

"Did you smell a familiar smell?"

Meng Qi: "There are ten kinds of incense sticks in the inn. They are ten kinds of sandalwood. They can soothe the nerves and remove odors."

"We have them in our room, too."

Song Minhuan wasn't sure if it was his delusion, he was always more sensitive to this kind of fragrance, and always felt that the fragrance in this room was much stronger than his room.

It was as strong as the scent of powder on the night flower girl he had seen ten days ago.

The three of Xu Wanqin and the others were also in the room, they were checking the window sill, and upon hearing this, they looked at Song Minhuan.

"My lord, did you find anything?" Xu Wanqin asked, taking back his fingertips that were on the window sill.

Song Minhuan was a little surprised, he didn't expect that the other party would take the initiative to talk to him, and before he could speak, Meng Qi pulled off his sleeves by the side.

Meng Qi sent ten voices to him, "Don't tell them if you find out, if he finds out before us, wouldn't we make wedding dresses for them?"

"We don't have any clues now, why don't we see what he said, maybe we can find out more."

"Xiao Zhuang, what do you think?"

Zhuang Li had no objection and let Song Minhuan decide.

Meng Qi thought about it ten times, and reluctantly agreed.

"I think the fragrance in this room has not dissipated yet, it's a little weird."

Because the entire room was sealed, including the smell, the room still kept the same smell as before.

Xu Wanqin asked, "What's so weird?"

"The incense sticks in my room don't have such a strong smell," Song Minhuan looked at Zhuang Li, and asked, "The incense sticks are burned carefully. When does the incense burnt have the strongest smell?"

Zhuang Liping: "Incense sticks can be burned for two hours, and the scent of incense sticks is usually the strongest when three-quarters of the time is burned."

"The incense sticks on this censer are burned out, but the smell remains at the most intense moment. When was the scene sealed?"

"The people from the Shui family sealed it immediately after they came over this morning."

Xu Wanqin already understood Song Minhuan's meaning, "According to the time estimate, more than ten hours forward, it happened to be the time when Shui Jiuqi died. The murderer lit the incense stick after killing someone."

"Not only that, she is very cautious, worried that people will find out that there is something wrong with the incense sticks in the incense burner, and then replace the unburned incense sticks with burnt ones."

Song Minhuan: "I'm not sure, but I think the fragrance is indeed ten times stronger than the one in my room. Mr. Xu can ask someone who understands fragrance to come and confirm."

After that, Xu Wanqin did find someone who knew about incense sticks, and that person told Song Minhuan that it was indeed the strongest smell, about three-quarters of the time when the incense sticks were burned.

"Since she was able to return to the scene, she must have been in the inn at that time," Xu Wanqin glanced at the disciples behind him, "Go to the innkeeper and ask for ten copies of last night's overnight stay list, and by the way, ask those disciples if they were there in the morning. Saw suspicious characters."

The disciple took the order and went out according to the words.

Song Minhuan also asked: "Young Master Xu just looked at the window all the time, but what did you find?"

"The window was left open. The murderer came in through the window."

This clue is too obvious, and Meng Qi is obviously unhappy, "You can see this? We have told you everything. If Mr. Xu hides it, it will be boring."

Xu Wanqin's eyes fell on Song Minhuan for ten seconds, with a little strangeness, and then quickly turned to Meng Qi, with neither a good nor a bad tone.

"The footprints on the window are of a woman's, with a size of seven inches and three. As far as I know, only Miss Meng's foot in this inn fits this size. Miss Meng might as well explain ten times first. Where were you at Yinshi last night?"

Song Minhuan was a little surprised, did Xu Wanqin know their identities?Although they are Shen Yingxue's apprentices, Shen Yingxue has been in seclusion for ten years. In these ten years, apart from going to Haoyue Peak ten times, their experience is also near the sect, and they have hardly traveled far.

All sects are very curious about them, they usually wear low-key clothes, and they don't have the lotus pattern totem of Tianxuezong.Shen Yingxue was hiding her figure, and Lan Su was not there, so they were not easy to be recognized in the crowd.

When ordinary disciples see them, they will think that they are disciples from some small sect, and they have not paid too much attention to them.

The three of them are very comfortable with this, if it gets out that they are Shen Yingxue's apprentices, they might be treated like monkeys, and it would be inconvenient for them to do anything.

Haoyue Peak... Song Minhuan realized that Xu Wanqin belonged to Haoyue Peak.At that time, he hadn't come here yet, and it was the original owner who went there, maybe the original owner had met them ten years ago, so it was not surprising that he recognized them.

His eyes fell on the window sill again, where there were ten complete black boot prints.

The author has something to say: Seven inches three ≈ 24.3cm, which is almost a size 39
