Qin Xiao couldn't find any words to refute his fiancée's reasons, so he had to raise his hands in surrender and let her continue.
Mu Yunyan was indeed ill and stupid at that time.
In order to get well as soon as possible and to rush back to the capital as soon as possible, she did as Tieniu said without even thinking carefully.
The key is that she injured her leg and couldn't walk, and Tieniu didn't have much money. As a result, the white cloth strips and the elixir were sent by the landlord.
She used it as a matter of course.
Thinking about it now, Mu Yunyan was still frightened for a while, and her whole body was trembling slightly.
If the landlord had evil intentions, she might not even know how she died!
When Qin Xiao saw his fiancée's appearance, he gently came over and hugged her, patted her on the back, and comforted her: "It's okay... everything is over."
Mu Yunyan didn't know what the consequences would be, but Qin Xiao had already vaguely guessed it.
That dark thing in the room seems to be another...victim!
Nothing happened all night.
As soon as it got dark the next day, Qin Xiao woke Mu Yunyan up, quickly washed up, and prepared to leave.
Just as they hurried downstairs, they suddenly heard an exclamation coming from the lobby of the inn.
"Wow! Someone actually took on that top-level investigation mission!"
"Yes, yes! I didn't expect that someone picked it up today after posting it last night!"
"Who is it? Do you know who it is?"
"I heard it's a force called Moon Martial Arts School..."
"Moon Martial Arts School seems familiar...but they are not among the top ten forces on the red list, right?"
"Definitely not! I can recite the names of the top ten forces on the Red List backwards. How can there be any Moon Martial Arts School?"
"Then why do they accept this mission?"
"Tch! Why do they have it? Let me tell you, I saw it with my own eyes last night. It was the shopkeeper of Baixiao Tower who knelt down and begged to be picked up!"
"ah?!!"
"oh……"
"Really or not?"
"I lied to you, I'm a pig!"
When Qin Xiao and Mu Yunyan heard this, they immediately quickened their pace and soon arrived in the hall.
The Moon Martial Arts School took over the mission, and it was obviously not them... Then there was only one possibility - someone from the Martial Arts School in Qingyue City came!
They didn't know who was coming, but judging from the tone of those people, it was probably one of the three major disciples: Chen Zhen, Liu Xiyun, and Li Muhong.
Only they are qualified to represent the Moon Martial Arts School to accept tasks on the red list.
But there was one thing that made Qin Xiao very strange. Why would the shopkeeper of Baixiao Tower kneel down and beg someone from the Moon Martial Arts School to take over the task?
This question was completely solved when they came to the hall.
"Teacher...Master!"
As soon as he arrived in the hall, Qin Xiao immediately saw a familiar figure and couldn't help shouting.
Mu Yunyan on the side also spotted Lu Xiaoyue, and immediately shouted in surprise: "Sister Xiaoyue, why are you here?"
These two shouts attracted everyone's attention, and only then did everyone in the Moon Martial Arts Hall realize that it was Qin Xiao and Mu Yunyan.
Lu Xiaoyue was also full of surprise and immediately waved to them and said: "Sister Mu, I didn't expect to meet you here!"
Although she knew that Qin Xiao and Mu Yunyan were on their way back to Qingyue City, she didn't expect to meet him in Huayin City. It was better now that she didn't have to go all the way to find him.
Qin Xiao and Mu Yunyan walked over quickly and soon arrived at Lu Xiaoyue's side.
Only then did they realize that there was a red list in front of Lu Xiaoyue. The writing on it was not yet dry. It seemed to be a newly written red list that had not yet been posted.
The first line on the list is the name of Moon Martial Arts School!
Qin Xiao just glanced at it and turned his gaze away happily.
"Master, why did you come here?" He was a little confused. Didn't he say he was waiting in Qingyue City?
"How can we have the nerve to wait in Qingyue City when you hold a wedding..." Lu Xiaoyue smiled sheepishly and said, "I was thinking about going to the capital to congratulate you, so I brought them here."
, Lu Xiaoyue pointed to a few tables next to them, where they were all disciples of the Moon Martial Arts School.
Qin Xiao smiled and greeted everyone, and then sat next to Lu Xiaoyue.
Chen Zhen, Liu Xiyun, and Li Muhong were also there, saying hello to Qin Xiao one by one.
After chatting with everyone for a while, Qin Xiao asked again: "Master, I just heard that the shopkeeper of Baixiao Tower asked you to take on that task..."
"Oh, this is what you are talking about!" Lu Xiaoyue took out a ledger from the side, handed it to Qin Xiao, and said, "Read the description inside for yourself."
Qin Xiao gently took it and looked at it with Mu Yunyan.
While reading, Lu Xiaoyue explained: "Originally I didn't want to waste this time... But after reading this description, I felt that it was somewhat similar to Sister Mu's original situation, and Bai Xiaolou also told me some other things, so I had to accept it.
Come over here."
Upon hearing this explanation, Qin Xiao's heart suddenly skipped a beat.
Could it be that Master also saw that thing with white cloth strips all over its body?
What was recorded in the ledger was the case that Qin Xiao and the others discovered, which was also a major murder case in the Red List mission.
The description inside is very detailed, from how the guards discovered the yard, to what was in the yard, to finally when everyone rushed into the room and carried out a highly decomposed corpse, and even the specific appearance of the corpse was described in detail.
Qin Xiao didn't look too carefully. Even though he had seen many strong winds and waves, he didn't dare to think about it seriously.
After reading these descriptions, his mind was filled with memories of what Mu Yunyan looked like back then...
If they hadn't accepted the mission issued by Mu Yunyan, if they hadn't taken Mu Yunyan away... the victim in the murder case might have been Mu Yunyan!
Mu Yunyan was trembling all over as she watched, with chills running down her spine. Especially when she saw the description of being wrapped in white cloth, she was so frightened that she closed her eyes.
After reading it, both of them fell silent.
Lu Xiaoyue took the account book back from their hands and said solemnly: "Now do you know why I took this task? If we had not taken Sister Mu away..."
"Master!" Qin Xiao stood up suddenly and said, "We will investigate this case with you until the investigation is clear!"
In fact, the wedding has been postponed several times, and it is not a big deal to postpone it again.
But this murder case was related to Mu Yunyan's life. Even if it was over, Qin Xiao could not let the murderer go easily.
What's more, the other party seems to have no intention of letting Mu Yunyan go...
The tall and thin man who wanted to arrest someone, the assassin last night... all of this showed that the murderer was targeting Mu Yunyan again.
Lu Xiaoyue laughed happily, slapped the table and said, "Okay! Then let's solve this case and then go to the capital!"
