When the book-traveling little detective meets the two-faced prince

The main veins of this half of the leaf are connected by green-brown color, a small section in the middle is green, and the two sections are dark brown.

The green part shows signs of skin breakage and folding, and the part that has been burned to black and brown also has slight skin breakage.

"It should be the leaves that were burned by the fire just now."

As he spoke, Xiao Yihuo slightly turned sideways and picked up a burnt main vein from the grass that had just been burned by the fire. He held it in front of Lin Lezhi and said, "We can see them everywhere on the ground."

What Xiao Yihuo was holding in his hand was a main vein that had been completely burned by the fire.

It seemed that as long as Xiao Yihuo applied a little force with his fingertips, he could crush the main vein into powder.

Lin Lezhi mustered up his courage and prepared himself mentally before he finally looked at the bunch of dead grass that was burnt black by the fire. Just as Xiao Yihuo had said, there were quite a few leaves that were burned to the point where only the main veins were left.

There were also leaves that were half burned by the fire, with charred edges.

however.

More should have been devoured by the fire and turned into ashes.

Looking at the weeds that were charred into irregular shapes after being devoured by the fire, Lin Lezhi thought so, and at the same time, his heart was filled with pain and his eyes were full of hesitation.

Even if Lin Lezhi didn't want to and was unwilling to admit it, the devastation left by the fire reminded him to accept reality.

However, Lin Lezhi did not let himself get stuck in this mood and continue to be depressed. He adjusted his mentality in a moment.

Xiao Yihuo was right. What he should do now was to help Guan Ziheng clear his suspicion.

Lin Lezhi's eyes immediately darkened, revealing a hint of determination and even a hint of coldness.

Since the murders have not stopped, it means that the real murderer is still hiding in the dark.

Thinking of this, Lin Lezhi stood up suddenly, walked towards the devastated area with a determined look, squatted down and searched for something carefully.

However, no matter how hard they looked, all they could find were weeds and branches that had been burned into a dry brown state by the fire.

"What are you looking for?"

Seeing that Lin Lezhi's eyes were focused and somewhat anxious, Xiao Yihuo came up and asked, wanting to know what Lin Lezhi was looking for and wanting to look for it with him.

Lin Lezhi had no intention of hiding anything, so he held the half of the main vein in front of Xiao Yihuo and said, "I want to see if there is a main vein that is the same as this one, with brown ends and green in the middle and with broken skin."

"it is good."

Xiao Yihuo had no doubt about Lin Lezhi's words.

The two men divided the burnt weeds into two and searched together, but after searching for a while, they could not find the exact same main vein in the charred brown land.

After finding his piece, Xiao Yihuo shook his head at Lin Lezhi with some disappointment.

Xiao Yihuo was not found, and Lin Lezhi also gained nothing, which made Lin Lezhi a little frustrated.

Sudden.

Lin Lezhi suddenly thought of something.

He walked quickly to the place where he and Xiao Yihuo had sat. Because his hand had been pressed in the grass for a long time, it was easy for him to find the bent grass.

After clearing away the grass, we found that the nearby weeds had traces of fire, and there were small broken skins at the bottom of the weeds.

It is very difficult to find it if you don't turn over the grass and look carefully.

There was only a short trace of fire, but the tiny broken skin at the bottom of the weeds extended further forward, and the scratched area gradually lowered until it extended to the edge of the cliff.

Lin Lezhi looked to the side.

It was less than one meter away from where Guan Ziheng fell.

At this time, as the sun gradually rose, the temperature also rose a little bit, and the fog rising around gradually dissipated, and the surrounding mountains could be seen clearly.

"Be careful."

When Lin Lezhi was concentrating on checking those tiny details, Xiao Yihuo's voice, filled with concern and worry, came from behind him.

"Don't worry, I won't jump."

Lin Lezhi's tone was half-joking, but it seemed like he was making a promise to Xiao Yihuo.

Then he turned his back to Xiao Yihuo and waved his hand, saying, "Come and see."

Hearing this, Xiao Yihuo walked to Lin Lezhi's side and squatted down, and found obvious signs of friction on the edge of the cliff, and three or four deeper scratches.

It looked like it was caused by a sharp weapon.

Compared to the place where Guan Ziheng fell, the slope of the scratched area here is obviously gentler, with some inclination, and not so steep.

"You know martial arts, so you must be familiar with weapons. What kind of weapons do you think caused these scratches?"

Lin Lezhi asked Xiao Yihuo seriously.

After Xiao Yihuo stared at it for a moment, he said, "This scratch is narrow inside and deep outside. Weapons with inclined surfaces such as knives, swords, and axes can cause this kind of scratch."

Combining the scratches on the slope, Xiao Yihuo suddenly thought of a weapon that would be a good match for the situation. He looked at Lin Le and knew: "Flying Claw."

Listen and.

Lin Lezhi thought for a moment and said, "If this is the case, the murderer was most likely hiding here when the crime happened. The fog happened to be a good place for him to hide. After everyone left, he would take the opportunity to leave. However..."

As he spoke, Lin Lezhi's eyes darkened even more, and his expression became solemn, as if there was something he couldn't figure out.

"But what?"

"If that's the case, the two of us have been here since the crime happened. How did he manage to leave here quietly? You have excellent hearing, and any movement should not have escaped your ears, but did you hear any sound just now?"

Xiao Yihuo shook his head with a serious look in his eyes.

Since they were here, neither of them spoke for a long time. It was so quiet that they could even hear their own breathing, let alone any other movement.

Not to mention whether the arms can bear hanging on the cliff for a long time. Even if they can, it is impossible for them to remain motionless.

Besides, it was impossible for him to just lie on the cliff and wait for death.

If so.

When the fog disperses, he will be nowhere to hide.

"It seems that the murderer must have left before we arrived, otherwise there wouldn't be any movement at all."

Say it.

Lin Lezhi looked down at the half of the main vein in his hand, his eyes became heavier and more puzzled.

He always felt that the location of this half main vein and the fact that it was burned like this were a bit strange.

If it was going to appear, it should have appeared at the place that had been burned by the fire. Why did it appear in the grass next to it, with only half of the main vein left?

Not only this half of the main vein, but also the scratches between the grass and on the cliff made Lin Lezhi feel uncomfortable, but he couldn't figure out the connection between them for the time being.

perhaps……

It was really as Hong Mingxu said, it was because I had a weird brain and made things complicated.

This half of the main vein just happened to fall from the tree and was washed into the nearby grass by the heat wave caused by the flames. It happened to burn into this state and there is nothing special about it.

Just now, when he was investigating those tiny traces in the weeds, he did find other leaves that were burned by fire. All of them had lost their original leaf shape due to the fire.

Just as Lin Lezhi was puzzled by this, Xiao Yihuo stood up and said, "The fog will soon dissipate."

Hearing this, Lin Lezhi pulled himself out of his complicated thoughts, stood up as well, and looked towards the foggy front.

The earthen temple was built halfway up the mountain, and this place is higher than the location of the earthen temple. Therefore, standing here, one can clearly see the uneven mountains behind the three mountains.

Unexpected.

They actually came to the back of the mountain.

The mountains were much lower than the mountain they were on, and the fog between the mountains flowed slowly like a winding tributary.

Magnificent yet beautiful.

Lin Lezhi gazed at the river formed by mist in front of him, his eyes carefully sketching it, as if he wanted to engrave this beautiful scene in his mind forever.

When his eyes fell on a certain place on the left, Lin Lezhi's pupils suddenly tightened.
