The guard guard clasped his fists and said, "Sir."
Jiang Wenfeng asked: "Miss Ming, what should we do?"
Ming Wei said: "Get cinnabar ink and a pen."
Jiang Wenfeng glanced at him and saw that the officer knew what was going on and went downstairs. After a while, he came up with something.
This kind of thing is everywhere in Xuandu Temple.
Mingwei took the pen and ink, circled Yuyang's body, and began to draw on the ground.
Ning Xiu looked at it for a while and asked, "Is it a formation diagram?"
"Hmm." Mingwei finished the painting in one breath and then replied, "In fact, according to common sense, the breath in the wound will dissipate quickly, and it is almost impossible to identify the murderer based on this.
The reason why it can be used this time is because the Merit Tower is special and the energy here is sealed, which is why the body can be preserved here for a long time."
Jiang Wenfeng frowned, remembering Xuan Fei's reminder when he wanted to carry the body out during the day.
What does he mean?
"Okay, let's get started!"
She took out the magic talisman and activated it with a snap of her fingers.
Jiang Wenfeng and the two guards felt a cool breeze blowing around them.
In the eyes of Ning Xiu and Yang Shu, the formation diagram on the ground suddenly came alive, with energy flowing, forming a unique cycle.
The flowing Qi brushed over the wounds on Yuyang's body, and faint invisible breath slowly escaped from them.
These breaths condensed together and turned into a faint breath.
"Xiaobai." Mingwei whispered.
"Here." The little white snake escaped from her sleeves and ran to Yuyang's body, letting itself be entangled in the weak breath.
After a while, it got down from Yuyang's body and swam downstairs.
Mingwei Ningxiu and Yang Shuneng saw it and immediately followed it downstairs.
Because Jiang Wenfeng had that jade pendant with him, he could also sense Xiaobai's presence.
When they reached the first floor, they saw the little white snake sniffing Xuan Fei again and again, saying, "That's him!"
The four people paused.
"Are you sure?" Mingwei asked again.
"Yes, the breath is the same!"
Recalling the little white snake, Mingwei remained silent.
Xuanfei opened his eyes and watched, but said nothing the whole time.
For a moment, the air seemed to freeze.
After a long time, Jiang Wenfeng sighed and asked him: "Master, you said earlier that you didn't kill Yuyang, right?"
Xuanfei raised his eyes and looked at him.
"What's your excuse now?"
Xuanfei lowered his eyes, smiled silently, and said, "I have nothing to say."
The four of them silently exited the Merit Tower and returned to the back mountain.
"Miss?" Duofu saw them coming back and quickly poured tea and water.
Jiang Wenfeng drank in silence for a while and then said: "I have been working on cases for more than ten years and have seen many criminals like this. He obviously did the thing, but he acted extremely innocent and even threatened death. Come to think of it, maybe it was him.
If you can't face yourself, then you should also lie to yourself."
None of the three said anything.
They didn't know what to say.
Before that, they were more inclined to believe that Xuan Fei was innocent, but after Little White Snake identified him... they had to admit that they didn't trust Xuan Fei enough.
What's more, people are so complicated. Even if they have known each other for decades, can they be sure of each other's character?
Duofu asked: "Miss, have you confirmed that the National Preceptor is the murderer?"
Mingwei shook his head and explained the matter simply: "...That's the case now. Whether it's based on the traces on the scene or Xiaobai's breath identification method, it all points to him."
Jiang Wenfeng saw her thoughtful look and asked, "What do you think, Miss Duofu?"
Duofu shook his head hurriedly: "No! Maybe I am stupid and feel that there are many things I can't think clearly, so I don't know how to judge whether the imperial master is the real murderer."
"There are so many things you can't figure out clearly?" Jiang Wenfeng was stunned for a moment, then he patted his head and said with a smile, "I'm so self-righteous. I still don't know the ins and outs of this matter. How can I tell the difference now? We should find out the facts first."
"
He cheered up and said, "Guys, I'm going back to handle the case first."
Mingwei glanced at her, and Yang Shu hurriedly said, "Then let's go too. Senior brother, what about you?"
Ning Xiu shook his head: "It's getting late, I'm going to rest."
"All right."
Ning Xiu replaced Duofu, and the four of them returned to Xuandu to watch.
Jiang Wenfeng led them into the courtyard where they were staying temporarily, where he would be working for the next few days.
"Sir." Lei Hong came forward.
"What happened to the confession question?"
Lei Hong replied: "The interpersonal relationship between the Imperial Master and Immortal Yuyang is very complicated. Today we only asked people who are relatively close to them, and they are all here."
"Um."
Lei Hong said again: "By the way, Sir, the comparison of Yuyang Immortal's weapons that you ordered has come to fruition. Based on the testimony of people close to him, we have confirmed that the wounds on the body are consistent with their width."
Then present the picture.
Jiang Wenfeng compared them one by one, and then read the confessions.
This matter is extremely boring, because there are already dozens of confessions collected so far, and there are still a lot of meaningless contents in them.
Jiang Wenfeng watched very patiently, extracting the necessary information while reading.
"Junior disciples who are close to Yuyang confirmed that he has recently been frustrated, his status in the temple has been repeatedly reduced, he is in a bad mood, and he has many complaints against the National Master."
Mingwei nodded: "Xuan Fei... is using the Phoenix Lotus incident to eliminate dissidents."
"The conflict broke out the day before yesterday. Yuyang was originally in charge of Xuandu Guan's finances, but his job was withdrawn by the imperial master. Three people mentioned this in their confessions, proving that Yuyang once said that he wanted Xuanfei to be good-looking. Yesterday evening
, he went out and never came back."
Yang Shu raised his head: "Could it be that Yuyang made trouble for Xuanfei, and was then killed by Xuanfei?"
Mingwei nodded in a confession: "Look here, Yuyang once complained that he was the real heir because Master Xuxing told him a big secret before he died."
Yang Shu took it, compared several confessions over and over, and finally said with a smile: "It seems that there is a consensus in Xuandu Temple! Didn't your fifth cousin say that? They are competing for a piece of Xuxing's national master.
The relic, whoever can get it is the best magician in the world. The reason why they are facing each other at the Taoist platform is to stare at this thing."
Jiang Wenfeng thought for a while: "So, Yuyang went out yesterday evening, probably to get this object and turn defeat into victory. As a result, he went to the Gongde Tower, but was killed by the national master."
"Then we need to find out two things." Mingwei said, "First, why the murder weapon disappeared, and second, find what they were fighting for."
"This is a bit difficult!" Jiang Wenfeng frowned and said, "If the national master doesn't tell me, where will we find it?"
"I thought that this thing was not on Xuan Fei's body." Yang Shu suggested, "Since the murder weapon is missing, does this thing also disappear with it?"
Mingwei suddenly smiled: "Maybe I can find it." (To be continued)
