Chapter 265

After Zheng Yi finished listening to Li Miao's words, she also stood in place and pondered.

Cao Hanyan and Yin Suqin looked at each other, looked at the miserable corpse bone, felt that they couldn't stay out of it, so they walked over and talked to Zheng Yi, wanting to participate together.

Zheng Yi looked at Li Miao, and seeing that he didn't mean to object, she told the two what she could say, and the three pondered the next action together.

Suddenly, Cao Hanyan raised his head.

"Storyteller! Haunted!"

The other two raised their heads together.

Cao Hanyan said quickly: "Two, first of all, make it clear that there are no ghosts and gods in this world. The legend of haunting has never been fabricated, or it is a lie by people with hearts to cover up the facts."

"Xue Bangzhu has been dead for several years, so the haunting rumor will not be done by her—eight out of ten is the murderer, and the disappearance of the merchant should also be done by the same person."

"Then this matter has two breakthrough points, one is who spread the rumor of haunting, and the other is who did the disappearance of the merchant!"

Cao Hanyan walked a few steps, brewed for a while, and turned to look at Yin Suqin.

"Brother Yin, do you still remember the storyteller who told us about the haunting? How old does he look?"

Yin Suqin pursed his lips, recalled, and said: "About sixty or seventy years old, hair gray, cheeks sunken."

Cao Hanyan clapped his hands.

"Right! This person must have tricks!"

"The age is just about the same as Xue Bangzhu, he could have participated in the things back then!"

"Moreover, the things back then, even Lord Li had to verify from the yamen case files, how could he know so clearly? Even if he heard it, he had to deliberately inquire! Moreover, to spread this haunting rumor, isn't the storyteller the best candidate?"

"Kaifeng Prefecture is so big, and we are bumping around without a head, how could we be so coincidental to meet the insider?"

"I'm afraid he deliberately came to tell us the news!"

Cao Hanyan walked quickly to Li Miao's side and bowed.

"Lord, since Brother Yin and I have been involved, and this matter involves several lives, the two of us cannot stay out of it, can we go with you for a while and check until this matter is over?"

Yin Suqin also stepped forward together and bowed with one hand.

Li Miao smiled and nodded.

"Can."

"Since that's the case, don't delay. Since that storyteller told you the news, he knows your purpose, and he won't drag it out for too long whether he goes or stays. Where did you see him? Let's search first."

Cao Hanyan nodded and agreed, just raised his head, and didn't see Li Miao's figure.

Then his collar tightened, and his feet left the ground.

Thinking of Yin Suqin's experience just now, he understood what was going on, and immediately closed his mouth, ready to "fly up".

But he didn't know—being carried by Li Miao is not the same thing as being carried by Zheng Yi.

The scene in front of him suddenly blurred!

Strong wind poured into the collar, and the clothes were supported!

Like being shot out by a cannon! Every landing was a loud noise that resounded in all directions! And the huge amount of soil and stone that flew away! It crossed dozens of feet in an instant!

On the vast and dark fields, Cao Hanyan, who had always appeared calm and well-behaved since they met, finally couldn't help but scream.

"Ahhhhhhhhhhhhh—"

Following it, there was Li Miao's mischievous laughter.

————————

"Ugh—ugh cough cough cough..."

Cao Hanyan supported the tree trunk and retched.

He was absolutely sure that Li Miao was doing it on purpose. With his Wu Gong, even if he used the light skill of the Ming Sect's "Flying Catkins and Light Smoke", the speed would not be slow at all. He used this violent way of rushing like a meteorite landing, obviously to toss himself.

But he wronged Li Miao.

Li Miao is proficient in all kinds of martial arts, and can handle all kinds of martial arts, but he is not without things he is not good at, and light skills are one.

Most of the light skills he only learned a little bit, and he was too lazy to spend "salary" on deducing light skills. The only thing he is good at is this light skill that is straight and straight like "Hulk", and the movement is strange.

Anyway, you don't have to pay attention to the movement when killing people, the light skill that can rush to the front of the other party the fastest and twist the head off is the best light skill—anyway, he thinks so.

Although it doesn't delay him from killing people, the people carried by him to rush the road suffer a lot. Shen Xunni and Cao Hanyan have both suffered a lot.

Let's talk about the present.

The two have rushed to Yishan.

This place is already dozens of miles away from Kaifeng Prefecture, and there are no official roads or villages around, and it is sparsely populated. The two saw a wooden house at the foot of the mountain from afar.

Cao Hanyan scanned the surroundings, and the place where his sight reached had no houses. Thinking about it, this wooden house should be Xue Bangzhu's residence before moving to the righteous village.

The two walked towards the wooden house.

The closer to the wooden house, the more Cao Hanyan felt that this trip would not have any harvest.

This wooden house should have been uninhabited since Xue Bangzhu, and the materials used when it was built were not good, and it rotted in seven or eight years, the roof collapsed, the windows were broken, the outside of the door was full of weeds, and even mushrooms grew on the wall.

After approaching, I could hear a rustling sound in the house, and some small animals fled out one after another, disappearing into the bushes.

"Even if Xue Bangzhu left any clues here back then, it is estimated that it has been dug out by wild animals."

Cao Hanyan shook his head while walking.

Li Miao smiled.

"This is a good thing."

"You can think of it, the murderer can also think of it. If this place is intact and it looks like you can find clues, won't the murderer come over and search it in advance?"

"The more unlikely there are clues, the more careless the murderer will be, and the more likely it is to leave something behind."

Li Miao narrowed his eyes and scanned the house.

Like the wooden house in the righteous village, this place is also empty. In the seven years since Xue Bangzhu left, the wind brought mud into the house, weeds climbed in from outside, covered the ground, and completely erased the traces of Xue Bangzhu's life.

Cao Hanyan walked in, walked around the wall of the wooden house, but frowned. He was unwilling, squatted down again, knocked on the ground with the sword scabbard, and walked around again.

"Lord, nothing."

Cao Hanyan stood up and shook his head at Li Miao.

"There are no bulges on the wall, and there are no hollows on the ground."

"Even if Xue Bangzhu left any things here back then, it is estimated that they were dug out by wild animals. We made a white trip."

He was frustrated, but heard Li Miao say with a smile.

"No."

"Xue Bangzhu left a lot of things, but you can't see them."

Cao Hanyan looked up suddenly.

Li Miao walked slowly to the corner of the wall, scraped with his palm like a knife on the wall, the mud ash on the wall fell, revealing the wall.

Li Miao beckoned.

"You come and see."

Cao Hanyan walked over quickly, squatted down and looked at the place Li Miao pointed to, but was puzzled for a while. There was indeed a trace in this corner, the color was slightly lighter than other places, I think it was the mark left by something placed in this corner before.

But what can be seen from this mark?

Li Miao smiled.

"You have also seen Little Yizi's sword, think about the length of that sword, plus the sword scabbard, is it just right to card with this mark?"

"Penglai people's faces and Wu Gong are all carved from the same mold, I think this Xue Bangzhu also uses a long sword."

"According to the space and layout in this house, this place should be the head of the bed. That is to say, Xue Bangzhu has always put the long sword at the head of the bed, within her reach."

"What does this explain?"

Cao Hanyan pondered for a while, looked up suddenly and said.

"Explain two points!"

"First, when Xue Bangzhu moved here, her Wu Gong had not completely disappeared, but she was not sure to kill the murderer!"

"So, her Wu Gong and realm are not 'suddenly disappeared', but 'gradually faded'!"

"Second, Xue Bangzhu felt the threat from that time, so she would always put the weapon at the head of her bed, ready to be taken at any time!"

"That is to say, the murderer has been staring at her since twenty years ago when she moved to this place! She knew she might be in danger from that time, and her Wu Gong was gradually disappearing, so she must have been thinking of ways to break the situation from that time!"

Cao Hanyan stood up, walked excitedly for a few steps, and turned to Li Miao.

"This can deduce two conclusions."
