Xia Xinran saw that Xiao Wuji refused to take the advice, and was so angry that her back molars almost broke, and she cursed in a low voice:"Xiao Wuji, don't be proud, I will not just let this matter go."

"snort."

Xia Xinran snorted coldly and left angrily.

Not long after, a loud roar came from outside.

"hateful! hateful! How abominable!"

"Xiao Wuji, this princess will never give up."

"This case has been settled by this princess!"

At the door of Qian's Mansion, Xia Xinran was so angry that she cursed and kicked her detective away.

The detective felt aggrieved and said,"Princess, it's Xiao Qianhu who is angry with you, why did you hit me? Xia Xinran said angrily:"

I can't beat him, so of course I can only beat you.""

At this time, a beautiful woman walked up to Xia Xinran and whispered:"Princess, it's best that the princess doesn't get involved in this case."

This beautiful woman is Xia Xinran's bodyguard. She is a powerful master. She was sent by Xia Yuanxiang to protect Xia Xinran.

Xia Xinran frowned and asked,"Why? The beautiful woman said:"This case is not simple. If the princess intervenes, I am afraid she will be implicated.""

The beautiful woman is well-informed and has much more experience in the world than Xia Xinran.

When Xia Xinran led people to inspect the Qian Mansion scene, she also saw it.

Through the death conditions and the number of corpses, the beautiful woman can be sure, The person who wiped out the entire Qian family was a huge force, with many murderers. There were only a few people with this kind of force in Jinling City, and each one had a big background.

In addition, Xiao Wuji was the one who personally investigated the case, and The decree issued by the emperor himself further proved that this case was more terrifying than they imagined.

If they got involved rashly, it would probably affect themselves.

Although she was a strong master, she could not guarantee that she could save Xia Xinran.

Xia Xinran He said with a solemn expression:"Is it possible that those people still dare to kill this princess?"

"This possibility cannot be ruled out."

The beautiful woman said in a deep voice:"The princess wants to know that there are many unscrupulous murderers in the world."

"They don't care about the identity of the princess. Once there is profit, they will kill the princess without hesitation."

"Just like the golden-faced lion king, he even dared to bloodbath the entire Li family, and even dared to force his way into the palace."

"Li Wenbo was still killed while hiding in the palace."

"Princess, for your own safety, please do not act rashly. Xia

Xinran rolled her eyes and shook her head:"No, this is my first big case. I can't just let it go.""

"I 540 must check it out to see who else dares to look down on me."

"Come on, let's go back to Liumen. Uncle Xuanyuan must know the inside story."

After saying that, Xia Xinran hurried back to the six doors.

Seeing this, the beautiful woman shook her head helplessly.

Xia Xinran is good at everything, but her reckless character cannot be changed. She is obviously weak and pitiful, but she likes to be chivalrous and righteous all day long. He clamored to eliminate harm for the people.

This newborn calf is not afraid of tigers, and it is somewhat similar to those young disciples from martial arts sects.

It's just that Xia Xinran is not a martial artist after all. She is the honor of the princess and has a noble status.

Xia Xinran If Xinran was good at anything, how could Xia Yuanxiang spare her as a guard? The beautiful woman thought for a while and hurriedly followed.

In the Qian Mansion, many guards in golden clothes took over the work of catching the six doors.

They took the corpses one after another from They were carried out from each room and placed neatly in the courtyard.

Xiao Wuji walked into a room and looked up, only to see two corpses hanging from the beams.

The two corpses were a man and a woman, both servants of the Qian Mansion. , were all hanged from the beams after death.

More than a hundred people in the Qian Mansion were all killed, and their bodies were all hung from the beams.

The horrific scene could even scare a person into a lunatic.

After seeing the murder scene, Song Limin and many of the imperial guards couldn't help but shake their heads and marvel at the murderer's ruthlessness.

This is another warning!

Xiao Wuji has already sent people to the residences of the other two deceased people. If Xiao Wuji guessed correctly, , the residences of those two officials have also been bloodbathed.

The poisoning of Qian Qianyi and other three officials was the first warning, and the bloodbath of the three officials was the second warning.

The purpose is to warn those investigating the case not to Continue to investigate.

Otherwise, not only will I die, but my whole family will also have no way to survive.

"How audacious, he is even more arrogant than me."

Xiao Wu (bhfd) looked at the corpses all over the courtyard and had some thoughts in his heart.

Like the golden-faced lion king, he only destroyed one mansion in one night.

This man in the dark actually destroyed three families in one night. It's not like that. Does he still want to be arrogant?

"Lord Qi, the corpses are all here, one hundred and forty-seven in total."

Song Limin came behind Xiao Wuji and said respectfully

"Did you find any useful clues?"

Xiao Wuji asked

"No."

Song Limin shook his head, with a look of helplessness on his face,"There is nothing but corpses."

"We checked Qian Qianyi's study and found that his study had been emptied, not a single piece of paper was left."

"What about the secret room? Didn't find the secret room?"

"No"

"Is it possible that we really gained nothing?"

"Didn't Qian Qianyi leave a way out for himself?"

Xiao Wuji frowned slightly

"Go and have a look again."

Xiao Wuji came to Qian Qianyi's study.

The bookshelves and desks in the study were empty.

As Song Limin said, the study had been emptied.

When the murderer was silenced, he emptied all the books in the study.

So. Once Qian Qianyi left something suspicious, they would have already taken it away.

"These officials are all old foxes. It is impossible for Qian Qianyi to leave nothing behind."

"Selling ordnance is a major crime against the Nine Clan. If this official is Qian Qianyi, he will definitely leave behind"

"Whether it's for self-protection or atonement, there will definitely be some clues left behind."

Xiao Wuji's cold eyes swept through the study, not missing any clues.

Song Limin led people to search the study every inch, knocking on all the walls and every floor tile, looking for possible secret rooms or secret rooms. grid.

But in the end still got nothing

"Is there really none?"

Just when Xiao Wuji was about to give up, a ray of sunlight suddenly passed across Xiao Wuji's eyes.

The sunlight was so dazzling that Xiao Wuji couldn't help but squint his eyes.

Looking along the light, Xiao Wuji saw something on the ceiling above his head. There is a hole.

The hole is very small, only half the size of a baby's finger.

The sunlight shines into the room through that small hole.

"After all, Qian Qianyi is also a fifth-rank minister of the imperial court. Why is there a hole in the ceiling of the study room? Isn't he worried about rain leaking? Song

Limin was confused.

Xiao Wuji smiled and said,"Maybe this is the clue Qian Qianyi left for us. Go up and take a look.""

"yes."

Song Limin walked out of the study, used Qinggong to fly to the roof, and found the small hole. (To read Baoshuang novels, go to Feilu Novel Network!) This small hole was made using a special technique, and some mechanism techniques were used. Principle.

Although the small hole exists, rainwater will not flow into the study through the small hole.

Looking inside through the small hole, you cannot see the full view of the interior of the study, only a candlestick.

"Candelabra?"

Xiao Wuji immediately found the candlestick.

The candlestick was ordinary. The whole body was covered with a thick layer of wax, as if it had been used for many years.

Other than that, it was no different from an ordinary candlestick.

There was no interlayer or There was no engraving.

But Xiao Wuji knew that the small hole left by Qian Qianyi to hint at the candlestick definitely had a deep meaning.

Xiao Wuji used his palm skills to peel off all the wax on the surface of the candlestick.

Sure enough, he found something on it.

It was not an engraving, but a Pattern.

It was a small scorpion, which was carved out with a knife. It was carved very beautifully.

Xiao Wuji knew that Qian Qianyi was a porcelain carving enthusiast, and his own porcelain carving skills were not weak..

I think this scorpion was carved on the candlestick by Qian Qianyi himself.

After carving the scorpion, he wrapped it in wax and hid it. It was placed in the open, and others would not care at all. Unless it was through the small hole in the roof, outsiders would not notice it.

I don't think there is anything special about this candlestick at all.

Even if the thief sets fire to the study and burns it to ashes, this candlestick can still survive. Moreover, the fire will melt the wax and reveal the scorpion on it.

In any case, this clue is also can be retained

"As expected, all of these officials in the imperial court are old foxes."

Xiao Wuji sneered twice, handed the candlestick to his men, and asked them to take it back to Beizhen Fusi for sealing.

In the entire Qian Mansion, perhaps this is the only candlestick that is useful.

And when Xiao Wuji saw the scorpion, he always felt a little familiar, as if Where have I seen it before?

"Let's go back to Fusi, Beizhen."

Afterwards, Xiao Wuji left half of his people to continue investigating in Qian Mansion to see if there were any missing clues.

He took people back to Beizhen Fusi.

After returning to Beizhen Fusi, Xiao Wuji went there immediately Archives room.

According to some memories in his mind, Xiao Wuji looked through more than a dozen files and finally found the scorpion.

"He was right."

Xiao Wuji opened a file and pulled out a piece of kraft paper.

There was a scorpion clearly drawn on the kraft paper.

This scorpion was exactly the same as the scorpion left by Qian Qianyi.

"This is the symbol of the Scorpion Gate."

The Poison Scorpion Sect is an evil sect outside the Mobei Great Wall.

Because it is far away from the Central Plains, the major sects in the Central Plains don't know much about the Poison Scorpion Sect.

Jin Yiwei's information about the Poison Scorpion Sect is also very limited. He only knows about the poisonous scorpion sect. Everyone will have a scorpion tattoo.

The disciples of the Poisonous Scorpion Sect are good at poison skills and are also proficient in the art of Gu. Moreover, the Poisonous Scorpion Sect has been keeping a low profile for many years, and has not caused any big disturbances in the world, and there are no famous figures.

Xiao Wuji The information about the Poison Scorpion Sect in my hand was preserved twenty-three years ago.

At that time, a Poison Scorpion Sect traitor fled into the Central Plains and caused a series of murders. He was finally captured and brought to justice by a member of the Jinyi Guards.

What is recorded in the file is the poisonous scorpion sect traitor back then.

"Why did a sect from outside the Great Wall of Mobei come to Jinling City? Is it also related to the arms reselling case?"

Xiao Wuji fell into deep thought.

Suddenly he thought that Fan Da and Fan Er were also from Mobei.

"Now it seems that it is no coincidence that these two forces come from outside the Great Wall."

"Maybe the real culprit behind the scenes is to use people from outside the Mobei Wall to confuse the public and reduce his own suspicion."

Xiao Wuji quickly guessed the truth.

"Sir, Yuan Qianhu invites you."

At this time, Song Limin walked into the archives room and reported respectfully.

Xiao Wuji nodded slightly,"I know, I will go immediately."

Putting the files back to their original positions, Xiao Wuji rushed to Yuan Xiong's Qianhu Office.

In the middle hall of the Qianhu Office, Yuan Xiong sat in the main seat, and Yang Zongping sat on the right

"Third brother, here I come."

Xiao Wuji said to Yuan Xiong, and at the same time nodded to Yang Zongping

"sit down."

Yuan Xiong said

"Have you found any clues?"

Xiao Wuji said:"Three officials of the Ordnance Manufacturing Bureau were killed. It can be confirmed that they were silenced."

"I went to Qian Qianyi's residence and found that Qian Qianyi's entire family had been wiped out. The residences of two other officials were also bloodbathed. I can confirm that they were all murdered and silenced."

"Damn it!"

Yuan Xiong was so angry that he slapped his palm on the tea table, knocking the teapot and bowl over on the floor.

"These people are so audacious that they dare to kill court officials wantonly in the city of Jinling and wipe out their families. It is really unreasonable!"

Yuan Xiong's eyes were red and bloodshot, and he was obviously furious.

Xiao Wuji said:"Third brother, calm down first. Although they killed Qian Qianyiman's family and did it very cleanly, I still found the clues."

"oh? What is it? Say it."

Yuan Xiong turned his worries into joy

"This is it."

Xiao Wuji took out the piece of kraft paper and handed it to Yuan Xiong.

Yuan Xiong took the kraft paper, and Yang Zongping also leaned over to look at it.

"What's this?"

Both Yuan Xiong and Yang Zongping didn't understand what it meant.

We can't blame them. After all, the Scorpion Sect files are an old case from 23 years ago.

Yuan Xiong and Yang Zongping may not have been exposed to it.

Even if they have seen it, they have not seen it. The ability of photographic memory may have been forgotten a long time ago.

Xiao Wuji explained:"This is the symbol of the Poisonous Scorpion Gate outside the Mobei Great Wall, and it is also the clue left by Qian Qianyi"

"I think the people from the Poison Scorpion Sect were the ones who wiped out Qian Qianyi’s entire clan."

"Poison Scorpion Gate? A sect outside the Great Wall of Mobei?"

"Aren't Fan Dafan Er and the others also from Mobei Beyond the Great Wall?"

Yuan Xiong and Yang Zongping also thought of this.

"Yes, I think the Scorpion Gate has become a killing tool in the real murderer behind the scenes."

Xiao Wuji said:"Qian Qianyi and Fan Dafan Er are the same. They may have participated in reselling ordnance because they were threatened."

"None of them knew who the real culprit was behind the reselling of arms, but Qian Qianyi might have seen the symbol of the Scorpion Gate during his contact with the person who sent the message, and wrote it down."
