"In the first case, Mrs. Gu disappeared inexplicably. It is inferred that she left Fenghe Garden alone that night because of the immortality technique."
"In the second case, Han Ziyi died strangely. It is inferred that something happened before she came to Gu's house, which made her the murderer's prey."
"In the third case, Gu Qinghuan disappeared and was suspected to be dead. Except for the stones he left behind, there are almost no other clues, including the motive!"
Faced with the three case briefs he had drawn up on paper, Zhou Ziruo lost the pen in his hand with a headache.
Lu Lixiao stood by the table and looked at it for a while, then picked up a pen: "Since the three cases are related, then we should not look at them separately, but treat the three cases as a whole, and share all the clues, maybe we will find an unexpected connection " While speaking, he drew a line connecting the second case with the third case, "Why did the murderer kill Miss Han? Why did he attack Gu Qinghuan? It doesn't make any sense, but if you connect these two people What about Miss Han and Gu Qinghuan, only the day when Yaohua Palace arrived at Gu's house, Gu Qinghuan offended Miss Han. Is it possible that this matter hides the reason why the two of them became the murderer's target?"
Zhou Ziruo closed his eyes and tried hard to recall the dispute at that time, trying not to ignore any trivial details, "Miss Han handed over the name card of Yaohua Palace, Gu Qinghuan took the opportunity to rush up and kiss her! Her classmate pushed Gu Qinghuan away , and then I came forward. The people who witnessed this were probably the disciples of Yaohua Palace, several servants of the Gu family, and the disciples of two small sects. Later, Gu Qingyan rushed to bring Gu Qingfeng and Gu Qingce. Master, Master Jiu, and Gu Jue don't know when they will arrive, and you... But this matter must have been circulated in private, so the murderer may not be the person who was present that day. Moreover, what key points are hidden here that will cause the murderer to Focus on Miss Han and Gu Qinghuan?"
"I don't know for the time being, but we can basically pin down the reason why the two of them were killed. Next is Mrs. Gu," Lu Lixiao simply wrote the word dispute on the line connecting Gu Qinghuan and Han Ziyi. Tunneling to the old lady Gu, "In order to manage the Gu family for a few more years, the old lady asked Senior Cang for a way to live forever, but was unexpectedly rejected. In addition, Gu Jue is a member of the Crimson Moon Palace. Assuming that Gu Jue would agree to reversely design the Crimson Moon Palace, then the Gu family would be in crisis! This sense of crisis urged her, so she left Fenghe Garden and went to a certain place."
"The train of thought stops here, where will she go?" Zhou Ziruo asked.
"As outsiders of the Gu family, it's not easy to determine where she will go, but we can try to analyze her state of mind at the time. For example, under frustration, she might try to find the magic of immortality by herself?" Lu Li Xiao looked up.
"How can you find the way of immortality if you want to find it..." Zhou Ziruo was not convinced by this speculation, but saw that Lu Lixiao wrote down the three words "Ghost Mirror Clan" on the paper, and then talked with Gu Lao. Taijun is online.
Zhou Ziruo was stunned for a moment, and suddenly had a flash of inspiration.
"Could it be!"
"Perhaps the method of immortality exists in the Ghost Mirror Clan, or more precisely, Mrs. Gu thinks so. Because of a person—" Lu Lixiao drew another line from the word "Ghost Mirror Clan", and wrote at the other end of the line It was given a name, "Cang Shui Yao."
Zhou Ziruo looked at him: "You think Senior Cang is a member of the Ghost Mirror Clan!"
"Do you still remember the night we met Senior Cang in Qinghe Town, how she told about her immortality?"
That year, I performed the ceremony of becoming a human being in the family, and I would never grow up again... Before I knew it, a hundred years had passed...
In the clan, coming-of-age ceremony...
"Miss Han said that when the pair of sisters in the story of the Ghost Mirror Clan were captured by their father for experimentation, the elder sister had just passed her coming-of-age ceremony, and the younger sister was not even a teenager... sisters... Cang Shuiyao and the silk puppet... Zhou Ziruo muttered to himself, "But... this is wrong! The Ghost Mirror Clan is an ancient nation thousands of years ago, so the story of the sisters should be very old!"
"Senior Cang has blurred the concept of time, she must have been away from the world for more than a hundred years." Lu Lixiao was sure.
"But the two sisters in the story are dead, but Senior Cang is immortal! This is seriously inconsistent!"
"Don't forget that's only the first half of the story. Maybe in the second half of the story, the elder sister of the pair of sisters survived by luck, and the younger sister died unfortunately. Then something unexpected happened, causing the elder sister to never die. will age."
This is not impossible, after all, the story on the animal skin scroll is only half, and any turning point in the future is unpredictable.
Lu Lixiao continued to write clues on the paper, "If the animal skin scroll records the story of Cang Shuiyao sisters, it is not surprising that Gu Jue loves Senior Cang and wants to get the second half of the story. Other than that In addition, the ancestors of the Gu family had a famous ancestor who was also a member of the Ghost Mirror Clan with Senior Cang. Through this relationship, Senior Cang and the Gu family formed a fate, and it is precisely because of this that Mrs. Gu believed that the Gu family contained a secret about the immortality of Senior Cang. .It all makes sense."
Zhou Ziruo followed his strokes and nodded, "Then the question now is, where does the Gu family have the secret of immortality?"
"I'm afraid that not many people in the Gu family know about this, so we need to figure it out." Lu Lixiao wrote another clue in the blank space again.
Zhou Ziruo said: "Xuanmingzhu...?"
"That's right, Xuanming Pearl." Lu Lixiao said, "Since this object comes from the Ghost Mirror Clan, it must be not easy."
Lu Lixiao seemed to be very interested in the Ghost Mirror Clan. Zhou Ziruo thought for a while and said, "I think... the secret Senior Cang wants to hide is related to the Ghost Mirror Clan. Didn't you promise her that she wouldn't look into unnecessary things? Well… "
"My original words were 'Don't pry into the superfluous things in the matter of Mrs. Gu', but now there are cases of Miss Han and Gu Qinghuan, I think the Ghost Mirror Clan is in both cases. It is important to find out important clues, so it is not a breach of faith, right?" Lu Lixiao took it for granted.
Zhou Ziruo is slanderous and cunning! So cunning! He actually stayed back when he promised Cang Shuiyao!
"What kind of magic weapon is the Xuanming Pearl? What supernatural powers does it have? Even my master is looking for it, and in order to get it, he forced me to participate in the Immortal League Competition!"
"Master Uncle Yunhao wants the Xuanming Pearl?" Lu Lixiao was surprised, and then suddenly realized, "So it seems that what Siqin Jiangyue wants to get through this Immortal Alliance Competition is the Xuanming Pearl."
"Ah? Why?"
"When I talked with Uncle Du, he once told me that when they were young, what Uncle Yunhao liked to do most was to grab Siqin Jiangyue's things. Because before Siqin Jiangyue entered the school, he was ranked first among the big disciples. The sixth place, Siqin Jiangyue ranked seventh when he just started, he probably thinks that Siqin Jiangyue stole his ranking."
Zhou Ziruo: ...
Speechless.
It turned out that Yun Hao took Wang Han and Zhu Sha away that night when he rescued him from Siqin Jiangyue. Do you want to be so childish
Lu Lixiao thoughtfully said: "So Master Uncle Yunhao learned that Siqin Jiangyue was aiming at the Xuanming Pearl, the winning reward of this Immortal League Grand Competition, so he planned to get the Xuanming Pearl first, so he forced you to go to Zhuri Mountain Playing..."
Zhou Ziruo is ashamed to listen to it, the master is already old and dishonest! !
He hastily changed the subject: "What does Siqin Jiangyue want Xuan Mingzhu to do?"
Lu Lixiao looked over.
The room fell into silence, and Leng Mo's voice sounded clearly without warning: "Maybe I can provide a way of thinking."
Zhou Ziruo jumped up from the stool in surprise, the door of the room was opened with a creak, and he saw Leng Mo's tall and straight figure standing solemnly.
When did the beautiful boy come? He didn't notice at all?
Leng Mo turned to him out of the corner of his eyes, expressionless, "I didn't eavesdrop, the door was ajar, I happened to overhear you guys talking about Xuanming Pearl."
Zhou Ziruo immediately looked at Lu Lixiao with reproachful eyes, and silently reprimanded him for not closing the door properly when he entered. Really, luckily the one passing by is a beautiful boy, if the murderer overhears it, it will be a big trouble!
Lu Lixiao hesitated to speak, but shook his head helplessly, "Okay, it's all my fault..."
Zhou Ziruo suddenly remembered that he was the one walking behind when he came back just now...
"Junior Brother Leng, what do you want to say about Xuan Mingzhu?" Lu Lixiao asked Leng Mo.
Leng Mo didn't come in, so he just stood at the door and said, "The Xuanming Pearl is actually called the Ming Pearl. I don't know much about it other than that, but I know about another item related to it... the Soul Refining Vessel."
"Soul Refining Vessel..." The name sounds full of evil charm and madness.
Leng Mo's handsome face was stained with cold frost, and his hands under his wide sleeves were tightly clenched into fists: "The soul refining dish is a treasure kept by the ancestors of the Leng family. Six years ago, the Jiangyue Palace destroyed my whole family of Leng's family... for this thing! When I was young, I happened to see a saying in a certain book at home... The soul refining vessel, the underworld pearl, and many other strange things that I have never heard of, are related to the legendary art of bringing the dead back to life!"
Back to life!
It's back to life again!
"Siqin Jiangyue's purpose is to bring the dead back to life!" Zhou Ziruo looked at Lu Lixiao in a blink of an eye, and found the same deep thought on the other's face.
Ghost mirror family, resurrection technique...the more you investigate, the more ubiquitous these two are in these cases, as if all the doubts and clues will point to them after layers of cocoon peeling and in-depth exploration! From another perspective, it seems that these two are the root of all cases!
"Siqin Jiangyue came from a foreign tribe in the borderlands. There are many evil and ancient spells circulating in the tribe. It sounds somewhat similar to the Ghost Mirror tribe. Perhaps the Siqin Jiangyue tribe has some connections with the Ghost Mirror tribe. I don't know where I got it from." Senior Zhi Cang is the daughter of the Ghost Mirror Clan person who is obsessed with the art of bringing the dead back to life. She is also the rare or even the only living person who has witnessed the so-called art of returning the dead with his own eyes. Research on the art of bringing the dead back to life to help. These years, the Red Moon Palace has hidden away to collect evil and resentment everywhere, which may also be needed for research. He needs a key item, the Xuanming Pearl, and plans to communicate with Gu Jue in this Immortal Alliance Grand Competition The Xuanming Pearl was supposed to be stolen, but the murderer suddenly disrupted his plan, and Mrs. Gu disappeared with the Xuanming Pearl!" Lu Lixiao guessed at this point, holding his pen tightly, "How long did the murderer imprison Old Madam Gu?" Maybe it’s not just what Old Madam Gu discovered that night, the murderer also has another purpose—he also needs Xuanming Pearl! Because, "
Zhou Ziruo spoke his next words: "The murderer is also studying the art of bringing the dead back to life!"
