Chapter 168: Finding the Real Murderer



The cause of the fire accident made Fern feel that something was fishy and there must be a big secret behind it. It needed to be investigated thoroughly. If the cause was not found out, it would be more troublesome in the future.

Fern stayed with Little Zhima in the dormitory for a while. Although Little Zhima said it was fine, he must have been very worried, so Fern chose to stay a little longer to slowly calm him down.

"Master, what happened to the fire just now? Is Brother Feifan okay?" Little Zhima asked about the situation with great concern.

"It's okay, don't worry. No one was hurt since the incident happened in the kitchen. Fortunately, we had dinner early today and everyone had been evacuated when the incident happened." Fern said seriously.

Xiao Zhima was really frightened after hearing this. It was hard to believe that such a big thing would happen to him. This was the first time he had encountered a big fire in his life.

After listening to Fern's statement, Xiao Zhima's first thought was whether it was done by the Demon Cult. But after thinking carefully, it was unlikely. They just wanted to get Fern's technology and didn't mean to kill him.

Thinking back to the time when he came here, the reason the cult leader asked him to come here was to absorb Fern's technical knowledge and then pass it on to them for further research. The ultimate goal of the cult was to obtain Fern's technology.

The leader is very impressed by Fern's abilities, and is very interested in both his medical secrets and technology.

After careful consideration, the rational Xiao Zhima still felt that something was wrong and it should not be the work of the Demon Cult.

Little Zhima thought about this idea several times in his mind. The conflicted little Zhima never told Fern, believing that his master would have a better idea and could reach a fair and just result through careful analysis.

"Little Sesame, what are you thinking about?" Fern asked, looking at Little Sesame's confused eyes.

"Huh? What's wrong?" Xiao Zhima, who had come to his senses instantly, answered in a panic.

"I mean, what are you thinking about, so serious?" Fern said to Xiao Zhima in a teasing tone.

Xiao Zhima began to get a little nervous, and thinking back to what he had just thought about made him even more nervous...

"No, nothing. I was just thinking that it would be very difficult for you to put out such a big fire." Little Sesame looked at Fern cleverly and said.

"So you were thinking about this. It's definitely difficult, but fortunately Feifan's cleverness enabled the fire to be controlled more effectively." Fern smiled and said to Xiao Zhima.

When Xiao Zhima heard that it was Brother Feifan, he was so excited that a bright smile immediately appeared on his face.

"He is worthy of being the hero in my mind. Brother Feifan is really awesome." Xiao Zhima couldn't help but sigh.

At this moment, Fern felt a little strange after hearing what Xiao Zhima said. He was obviously Xiao Zhima's master and should be his best role model, but now he became Fei Fan...

Fern was really feeling a little jealous. Feeling a little disappointed, he just smiled and didn't say anything, because this method was indeed thought of by Feifan, and he admired him very much. Even he admired Feifan so much, so there was no reason not to let Xiao Zhima like Feifan.

Fern felt a headache when he thought of the cause of the fire. Fire was not like other things. Even if there was evidence, it would be burned and it was difficult to find valuable clues.

In this case, if you want to find a breakthrough, it is like looking for a needle in a haystack. You have no idea how to deal with it. If you hope to make smooth progress, you can only make judgments about the progress through external surveys.

Fern now feels that it is a very troublesome thing to think about, but things have developed to this point, and the murderer must be found.

I just got away with it this time, but I might not be so lucky next time...

Fern's mind was a little confused and he didn't know where to start. After all, he was not the first one to discover the accident and arrive at the scene, so he always felt like something was missing.

"Little Sesame, I'm going out for a while and will be back soon. Can you wait for me in the house?" Fern looked at Little Sesame seriously and said.

"Ah? You're going out again? When will you be back? Can you not go out? You just came back." Little Sesame looked at Fern with grievance and said.

At this moment, Xiao Zhima was still in a very conflicted mood. After all, the incident had just happened and he was still somewhat worried. The most important thing was that he was afraid that other situations would arise in a while.

Fern was just very curious. Who was responsible for this? What secrets were hidden in it? And most importantly, what was their purpose? Too many questions appeared in Fern's mind.

"It won't be long. You can choose to rest for a while. Maybe I'll be back when you wake up." Fern smiled and comforted him.

"Okay, it must not take too long." Little Sesame looked at Fern reluctantly and replied.

"No problem, don't worry." Fern looked at Xiao Zhima and said that, then quickly walked out.

Fern had just walked out of the dormitory and was looking at the heavy rain outside. He felt inexplicably sad.

Whenever it rains, I always have this feeling. I can't tell why, I just feel sad. On the road to Feifan, Fern walked very fast, eager to know the whole story.

At this time, Feifan was lying on the bed resting. Just when he was about to fall asleep, he heard someone knocking on the door.

After struggling to get up, Fei Fan stumbled to the door, opened it listlessly, looked up and saw that it was his master, and he woke up instantly.

"Master, please come in." Fei Fan said politely.

"Okay." Fern smiled and said to Feifan.

"I'm sorry to disturb your rest." Fern looked at Feifan with some guilt.

"No...no, Master, do you have anything to say?" Feifan looked at Fern very seriously and said.

"Yeah, I wanted to know how the fire happened. I was negligent and didn't notice anything unusual. When I went there, it was too late." Fern said ashamedly.

"Actually, I only found out about it later, maybe earlier than you, but I wasn't the first person to discover it. I just heard someone in the yard shouting that there was a fire, and then I ran out." Feifan answered seriously while recalling the incident.

This answer made Fern feel confused. What was going on? It turned out that the incident was so subtle that people who were not paying special attention would not notice it at all...

"Oh, so that's what's going on. Let me think of other solutions. You should take a rest first. You must have consumed a lot of energy just now. Go get some sleep." Fern looked at Feifan and said, pretending to be relaxed.

"It's okay. If I want any valuable clues, I will tell you the first time." Feifan looked at Fern seriously and answered.

This incident happened in the Pure Saint Empire, and many people outside must have known about it. I wonder how they view it. The truth will always come out...

After saying goodbye to Feifan, Fern quickly returned to the dormitory. He still needed to calm down and think carefully.

Fern thought that Little Sesame had fallen asleep by then, so he didn't knock on the door but walked in directly.

As soon as the door opened, Little Zhima jumped up in surprise. He was really scared.

"Master, you came back so soon. Why didn't you knock on the door? I was scared to death." Little Sesame looked at Fern with both joy and fear.

"I'm sorry, I thought you were asleep, so I didn't knock on the door for fear of disturbing you. I'll pay attention next time." Fern quickly explained to Xiao Zhima.

The clever little Sesame could tell something was wrong with Fern's mood, considering that his master came back so early, he must have wondered what he had done.

Taking everything into consideration, Xiao Zhima could probably guess that Fern's recent trip was not handled properly. The clever Xiao Zhima made this inference.

"It's okay. Actually, it's my own fault that I'm too timid. Hehe." Xiao Zhima smiled and said to Fern.

At this moment, Fern was still immersed in the accident that had just happened, his face was serious and there was no smile at all.

In Xiao Zhima's opinion, such a thing might happen to him, and he became confused and uncertain, but he did not expect that his master would also feel the same way. It turns out that everyone has their own troubles.

Seeing the worried Fern, Xiao Zhima wanted to go forward and comfort him, but he didn't know how to say it, and he didn't know what to do.

After thinking for a while, I decided to let Fern calm down and think about it first without disturbing him.

Fern and Little Sesame both lay down to rest. Little Sesame wanted to talk to his owner, but gave up every time he saw Fern's expression of serious thinking.

After a few minutes, Xiao Zhima fell asleep. In Xiao Zhima's mind, rainy days and sleeping are the best match.

At this time, Fern was still filtering every detail of what happened in his mind, and even wondered if he had overlooked something, so he had no clue at all...

After thinking about it over and over again, he didn't get any results. Fern was a little upset and didn't know what to do. He couldn't sleep and got up after struggling for a while.

Seeing that the rain outside had subsided a lot, I decided to go to the kitchen to see if I could find any valuable information.

Fern set off quickly, and the kitchen that had been in good condition before was now in ruins...

Fern's heart ached. This place was full of beautiful memories of him, Mo Kexuan, Xiao Zhima and his brothers, but now it has become like this.
