Suspect
Lin Yuan turned her head and saw Yuan Xuanlang leaning on the windowsill, the hazy silver moonlight flowing around him, and his brocade white robe seemed to blend into the moonlight. The invincible spirit of the young man was softened by the moonlight at this moment. Under the moon, he was as white as jade, and the young man was unparalleled in the world.
Lin Yuan admitted that she was amazed by him, but she was glad that she was not a beauty lover, otherwise she would have shouted "Brother, I can do it!". She just needed to appreciate this person and this scene as a beautiful sight.
Throwing away all the distracting thoughts, Lin Yuan retorted: "Well, Senior Brother is also very free, coming to the girl's room late at night."
Yuan Xuanlang crossed his arms and got straight to the point: "I'm curious, where did you learn your swordsmanship? Did you have a disciple before coming to Jinghu Sect?"
Lin Yuan threw The World Without Swords to Yuan Xuanlang, a little annoyed: "I have never become his disciple. I only got this book by helping an old man."
Yuan Xuanlang flipped through the book and discovered it didn't belong to any sect. He continued, "Today, Hua Yi told me to be careful of you, saying you have sinister intentions and are plotting something ill. Do you think I should believe her?"
Lin Yuan: "Haha, whether you believe it or not shouldn't be something you see? Why do you need others to tell you?"
She stood up and pushed Yuan Xuanlang down the window, then "bang", locked the window and turned off the lights.
Yuan Xuanlang gritted his teeth, regretting his rashness. Seeing that the lights were off, he had no choice but to return to his room.
As the eastern sun rises, crystal clear dewdrops cling to the tips of the grass, about to fall.
Lin Yuan listlessly pushed open the door, and Yuan Xuanlang happened to push open the door as well. Their eyes met, and Lin Yuan glanced at him briefly. She walked straight out, but unexpectedly, Yuan Xuanlang grabbed her arm and turned around to ask unhappily, "What are you doing?"
Yuan Xuanlang smiled awkwardly: "I forgot to take your book. You can't show martial arts secrets to others casually. And I shouldn't have doubted you so casually."
"Oh, thank you... You are right to doubt it. What if one day I really do something detrimental to our sect? It is better to be safe than sorry. You don't have to blame yourself." Lin Yuan took the book and said calmly.
Yuan Xuanlang opened his mouth, but for the first time in his life he didn't know how to answer. He could only watch Lin Yuan's departing back.
Mu Yunxi was slightly surprised when she saw Lin Yuan: "Junior sister, did you not sleep well last night? You look a little pale."
Lin Yuan: "Indeed, there was a nasty ghost floating around in front of the window last night. It was really scary."
Mu Yunxi's face was full of question marks. She looked at her junior brother who came late and was ignored by Lin Yuan. She seemed to understand that the two had a conflict, but she believed that her junior brother should be able to resolve it easily. After all, someone said that they should be a harmonious family.
However, the atmosphere at the dinner table dropped to zero at one point, and the people around sighed in their hearts: "He is really a model of 'not talking while eating'!" The three of them finished their meal hastily in the inn and set off for Qin's mansion.
"Ding Dong—" System: "Congratulations, host. Mission triggered: Go to the Qin Mansion, redress the injustice, and obtain the Lone Star Sword Manual map."
Haha, the system was silent before, and Lin Yuan almost thought it was offline. "Any tips or additional information?"
System: "No. Create a smooth path where there is no road, and open up a world among thorns. Host, please use your smart brain to redress the injustice of those who have been wronged!" However, Lin Yuan did not respond to the system's ambition.
Silence, silence, silence is Cambridge this morning.
The system silently shed tears: "How embarrassing, wuu ...
The lintel of the Qin Mansion was covered with white cloth, and the red lanterns were replaced with white lanterns. Passersby felt unlucky at the sight of them.
It is said that a few days ago, Qin Lan'er, the daughter of the Qin family, was planning to marry Liu Ziyu, a disciple of the second elder of the Mu Tian Sect. However, the day before the wedding, Liu Ziyu was murdered by his fellow disciples, and Qin Lan'er became a widow.
The Qin Mansion's gates were tightly shut, and there was no movement from within. Since the Qin Mansion was difficult to enter, and the three men had no connection to the Qin family, they gathered information and returned to the inn to discuss matters.
"The murderer has confessed his guilt and committed suicide out of fear of punishment, but I always feel something is wrong." Yuan Xuanlang said.
"Don't you think Liu Ziyu's death is very strange? It happened before the wedding. The cause of death may not be killing by fellow disciples. The so-called murderer may be a scapegoat." Lin Yuan speculated based on the system task.
Yuan Xuanlang glanced at Lin Yuan and continued, "It's very likely. Liu Ziyu is the Second Elder's favorite student. No one would want to cause trouble before the wedding, in front of so many people. Wouldn't that be courting their own destruction?"
It's okay for the two of them to have a conflict, but the mission must not be delayed because of it.
Lin Yuan was slightly excited but lowered her voice: "To find out the cause of Liu Ziyu's death, we can go for an autopsy!"
Yuan Xuanlang and Mu Yunxi both gave him strange looks. Lin Yuan shuddered, "What's the matter? Is it not possible?" "Isn't that how it's played out in TV dramas?"
Mu Yunxi shook her head. "It's feasible, but..." She smiled. "I didn't expect Junior Sister to be so courageous. This is also the quickest way to collect evidence. After all, we'll only be down the mountain for a dozen days."
As the saying goes, "Dark nights and strong winds are the times for murder and arson." The three men agreed to set off tonight.
The old demon's black wind silently surged in the empty and silent cemetery. The trees seemed to be stuck and the summer insects were silent.
Looking around, all I could see were dead silent "paintings." Only in the center was a faint light flickering, like a firefly entering a forbidden area.
Something crackled open, and three masked men stood beside a black wooden coffin. Yuan Xuanlang went to examine the body, while Mu Yunxi stood on the left, holding a tool bag, and Lin Yuan stood on the right, keeping watch.
The deceased was Liu Ziyu. He had no symptoms of unusual bleeding or purple face, but he had a sword wound 3 inches to the right of his heart.
But this is not a fatal injury. The most fatal thing is a tiny needle hole on the neck, which is the location of the death point. Even if the silver needle is non-toxic, as long as you use 30% of the force to pierce the death point, the seriously injured person will stop breathing.
Yuan Xuanlang had a rough idea in his mind. He glanced to the right and laughed inwardly, "This guy was so excited before, but now he doesn't even dare to look at the corpse."
Just as Lin Yuan was mobilizing all her senses to guard against her surroundings, she suddenly felt something cold on her shoulder. The cold air blew from behind her, making her hair stand on end.
She froze instantly, her heart pounding, and she asked in a trembling voice, "You... don't feel... particularly cold..."
