At the same time, Meng Yin and the other two were looking for clues near the teahouse where Xia Nian had the accident.
They knew something had happened to Xia Nian in the early morning. The three of them rushed to Xiahou Mansion. Xia Nian was still sleeping. They saw her lying on the bed with a slightly pale face. They were extremely angry and left because they didn't want to disturb Xia Nian's rest.
They learned from Qi Sheng where Xia Nian got into trouble and decided to see if there was anything they had overlooked.
The three of them asked everyone on the street. There was a lantern festival that night and almost everyone went to watch the parade. No one had any impression of the two.
"How could this happen!" Xu Zheng punched the pillar, extremely angry.
Meng Yin grabbed her hand and said, "A Zheng, don't worry. At least we have gained something."
She shook the human skin mask in her hand. In the sunlight, the human skin mask was wrinkled and looked very weird.
When they arrived here, they happened to see a group of children holding this thing. Meng Yin had seen this thing at Gu Ling's place and recognized it as a human skin mask at a glance. Combined with what happened last night, she thought it must have been left behind by the person who harmed Xia Nian, so she exchanged this with them for a few pieces of candy.
"But isn't this person too careless? Isn't it too casual to just throw this here?" Tao Tao frowned.
"Yeah, I was wondering what was going on." Meng Yin stroked his chin and leaned against the pillar. "Logically, they wanted to frame Xiao Xian. Now that they have this, doesn't it clear Xiao Xian's suspicion?"
"Could it be that Nian Nian became angry and humiliated after escaping? So he just dropped this behind? Or maybe something happened when he left and he had to drop this behind?" Tao Tao guessed.
Meng Yin sighed and said, "I don't know either, but there is a sect we must meet."
Her eyes became sharp, and her whole aura was different, as if she was wrapped in a layer of ice.
Tao Tao nodded: "Bishui Villa."
Xu Zheng took their arms and shouted, "What are we waiting for? Let's go back and talk to Nian Nian about this first!"
The three were returning to the street when a man suddenly ran past them at a high speed and almost tripped Tao Tao.
"What kind of person is this? He has no manners!" Xu Zheng supported her in time and cursed at the man.
Tao Tao touched her scattered hair and her expression changed drastically: "Where is my hairpin!?"
Meng Yin looked and found that the peach blossom hairpin she was wearing was indeed missing.
"That man took Taozi's hairpin!" Meng Yin shouted.
As if he heard her voice, the man turned around, waved the hairpin in his hand proudly, and flew onto the roof.
Xu Zheng was furious and jumped onto the roof to chase after him.
Meng Yin grabbed Tao Tao's hand and ran towards the two of them.
The man was not running very fast, and Xu Zheng was almost catching up with him, but he suddenly jumped down and ran into an abandoned restaurant.
Xu Zheng rolled her eyes and flew down to chase after him.
She went inside, but found no trace of the man. She touched the hidden weapon in her sleeve and cursed: "I advise you to return the things! Otherwise, Qianji Sect will not let you go!"
It was very empty inside and she could only hear her own echo.
With a creaking sound, the door on the second floor was moved. Her eyebrows raised and she rushed up.
The place had been in disrepair for a long time, and the wooden stairs creaked when she stepped on them.
Outside, Meng Yin and Tao Tao also ran in and saw Xu Zheng rushing towards the house.
Xu Zheng suddenly opened the door and saw Tao Tao's hairpin on the ground. She went forward to pick it up. The front window was open, so the man must have run away from there.
She was about to tell the two that she had found the hairpin, but when she turned around, she found a dead body lying behind the door!
No matter how brave Xu Zheng was, she couldn't stand such a fright. She shouted reflexively: "Oh my god! There's a dead person here!"
When Meng Yin and Tao Tao heard this, they immediately ran upstairs.
This was a male corpse. His clothes were torn, and one could clearly see the marks of his stomach and chest being tightly wrapped with rope-like objects. Also, his neck was almost half broken, and his head was drooping to one side. His eyeballs seemed to be about to fall out, and he died with his eyes open.
"Oh my God!" Meng Yin covered her mouth. The horrifying scene before her made her get goose bumps all over her body like mushrooms after rain.
Tao Tao frowned, observed carefully, and said in a deep voice: "He must have died last night."
She caught a glimpse of the token on his waist out of the corner of her eye, and walked forward to take a look. On the blood-stained token, she could vaguely see the word "Nan".
"He seems to be from a certain sect." Tao Tao said.
The sound of "bang" startled all three of them.
The three of them walked out, only to find flames rising into the sky outside. The restaurant was on fire!
"Oh my god, run!" Xu Zheng took the hands of the two and prepared to run, but the wooden board under her feet suddenly broke. She hurriedly retracted her feet, turned her head to look to the other side, only to find that the stairs there had already broken.
The three of them had no choice but to retreat back to the room. The fire below was not big, but the wood here had been eaten by insects for years and would break if stepped on even a few times.
"How could the fire suddenly start?" Meng Yin widened her eyes and tried hard to calm herself down and think.
Someone stole Taozi's hairpin and deliberately lured them here! The bang just now was probably someone throwing explosives!
No wonder she found a lot of water on the ground and on the abandoned table when she just came in, it turned out that was oil!
With a "boom", flames shot up into the sky, almost touching the roof above.
Xu Zheng suddenly thought of the window. She turned her head and found that the window had been closed at some point!
"Someone wants to kill us!" Meng Yin gritted his teeth.
They could already feel the heat beneath their feet and thick smoke was rising around them outside.
"Damn it!" Xu Zheng raised her leg to kick the window. This place had obviously been in disrepair for a long time, but the window was extremely solid, and it was obvious that someone had tampered with it.
For a moment, the fire trapped the three people and the corpse.
There were few people on this street, but the restaurant caught fire and black smoke was coming out of it. The neighbors still noticed it and shouted for people to go and put out the fire.
Han Liuyi and Lin Yue stood below, looking at the restaurant with flames on it.
"Success!" Han Liuyi was very excited and shook Lin Yue beside her.
There was no emotion on Lin Yue's face. He just looked at her profile silently.
How come he didn't notice that his beloved junior sister was decisive and her methods could be described as cruel?
Han Liuyi saw people around her trying to put out the fire, so she weighed the ball in her hand and smiled slyly: "I'll give them a big one!"
Her plan against Xia Hou Yu and Xia Nian failed, so she decided to start with the whole group and directly provoke a fight between the sects.
Lin Yue paused, nodded slowly, turned and left.
She flew onto the roof, but because of her petite figure, the people who were trying to put out the fire below didn't see her at all. Han Liuyi stood on the roof of the restaurant and looked down. There was a sea of fire below, which made her shiver.
She didn't see Meng Yin and the other two, but she was sure they didn't run away.
Han Liuyi was holding the dynamite and was about to throw it down, but the wooden board under her feet became loose. She was about to change position, but the entire roof suddenly collapsed, and she fell down with it.
She was so frightened that she broke out in a cold sweat. Fortunately, she was very good at martial arts, and when she fell into the sea of fire, she jumped and grabbed the shaky wooden walkway plank, which happened to be in front of where Xu Zheng and the other two were.
Han Liuyi was still frightened. She didn't expect that she would add fuel to the fire but end up getting herself involved. Fortunately, the place was not high and she could use her lightness skills to fly out.
Just as she was about to struggle up, she heard a scream from inside.
"Zheng is so awesome! Let's go!"
Xu Zheng kicked the window hard and broke it. Meng Yin pulled the token off the body and saw Xu Zheng standing outside waiting to pick them up.
Han Liuyi narrowed her eyes and decided to let them escape!
She screamed, "Help!"
Meng Yin and Tao Tao stopped - this voice looks so familiar?
"It's Han Liuyi!" Meng Yin thought of it first. She opened the door and saw Han Liuyi hanging in front of her, almost falling down.
"Miss Meng! Save me, the person inside is my fellow disciple! I'm here to find him..." She cried, looking so pitiful.
"Okay, don't move, this can break easily!" Meng Yin warned.
A smile of triumph flashed across Han Liuyi's eyes. She held on to the wooden board with great effort, ready to jump up and push the three people over when they came over.
Xu Zheng climbed in from outside and stopped Meng Yin and Tao Tao: "Don't go, I can pull her up by myself."
Han Liuyi frowned and was about to say something when a piece of wood suddenly fell from above and hit her directly on the head.
