The coroner and the concubine doctor pursue the murderer in the Dali Temple

Chu Yunxi was not convinced. "I am not doing this to help you. Otherwise, why don't you just marry Xiaowei? Besides, you have Ruyunlou. Are you afraid that you will have no food to eat for the rest of your life?"

"That won't work. I'm a bachelor, but you've labeled me a jinx. Will any girl dare to fall in love with me in the future? This is too much of a sacrifice for me."

Wen Rulan raised her head proudly. Everyone looked at the two people with amusement, as if they were watching a good show. No one joined in.

Chu Yunxi felt that it was really embarrassing to have such a senior brother, so she said slowly: "Okay, in that case, I will go to Madam Wan now and tell her that I remembered your birthday wrongly, and let you enter the bridal chamber tonight, is that okay?"

As she spoke, she pretended to stand up. As expected, Wen Rulan's expression immediately changed. "Okay, okay, since you are my dear junior sister, I will forgive you."

Everyone felt a chill and got goosebumps all over their bodies.

In the middle of the night, Wen Rulan, dressed in black, avoided the night patrol and searched room by room to see if he could find any clues.

Everyone else stayed in the room and did not go out. After all, this was the Wanjian Sect, and there were many masters there. If one did not have the ability to completely avoid those people, it would be better not to cause trouble.

Chu Yunxi is still together with Hongyu and Qingmei. Qingmei's health has improved a lot recently, and she has gradually come out of the shadow of the Sun family's affairs. She has changed her way of addressing Chu Yunxi, calling her "Princess". She also follows Hongyu to do things and serves Chu Yunxi closely.

The name Sun Shaozhen gradually remained only in the depths of everyone's heart.

It was late at night, and Chu Yunxi was still not sleepy. She was lying on the bed thinking about something. Suddenly, there was a chaotic sound of footsteps outside, and someone ran over with a torch. Soon the lights outside came on. Chu Yunxi was startled, and just as she sat up, someone knocked on the door loudly.

Hongyu, who was sleeping on the couch at the door, responded, "Who is it? It's so late, our girl has already gone to bed."

Someone outside the door said, "Open the door, everyone come out, there has been a murder inside, and we are here to investigate on the orders of the old lady."

Murder? Chu Yunxi thought of Wen Rulan going out tonight, and she couldn't help but feel a little uneasy.

After getting dressed and opening the door, he saw Xiao Mubei, Chu Zhongxi, Bai Yu, Heimu and the others coming out, but Wen Rulan was missing. The yard was full of people, except for them and the people from the Wanjian Sect.

Chu Yunxi looked at Xiao Mubei and asked him about it. She felt relieved when she received his comforting look. Sure enough, after a while, Wen Rulan and Wan Ruwei appeared in the yard together.

Madam Wan also came. Chu Yunxi asked, "Madam, what happened? Why did you wake everyone up in the middle of the night?"

Old Madam Wan glanced at Wen Rulan and Wan Ruwei. Wan Ruwei lowered her head, picking at her fingers, and said nothing. Wen Rulan nodded to Old Madam Wan gracefully.

Madam Wan said, "Just now, a disciple on night patrol arrived at the ancestral hall and heard the sound of fighting. When he entered the door, he saw a disciple lying in a pool of blood, and a masked man in black just jumped out of the window and ran away. There are people guarding the gate of the village, so this person must not be able to escape, so I asked the disciples to gather everyone and find out who is a suspect."

At this time, a disciple shouted: "There has never been any trouble in the sect before, but as soon as these few people came, something happened. It must be them who did it."

As soon as he shouted, someone immediately echoed, "Yes, it must be them."

"They are the only outsiders. If not them, who else could it be?"

"Catch them."

Hongyu said anxiously: "It's not us, we are all sleeping in the room."

Chu Yunxi stopped her and said, "No need to explain. It's useless to explain to them."

Sure enough, Madam Wan waved her hand, and the noise of the crowd gradually subsided. Madam Wan said, "We in the Wanjian Sect are a place that abides by rules. Since something has happened, we must investigate. We cannot let the murderer go unpunished, but we cannot arbitrarily accuse people."

Chu Yunxi nodded and said, "Yes, you can doubt us, but if you want to convict us, please show us the evidence."

She glanced at the people casually and saw that no one said anything, so she asked Madam Wan, "I wonder if the deceased can let me see the body?"

Madam Wan said, "It's still in the ancestral hall. Follow me."

Chu Yunxi followed Madam Wan, and Xiao Mubei also came. The others were guarded by the disciples of Wanjian Sect and could not come over.

As soon as we entered the ancestral hall, it was just as Madam Wan had described. The ground was covered with blood, and a young man about seventeen or eighteen years old was lying in a pool of blood, lifeless.

Chu Yunxi stepped forward and squatted beside the dead body. Madam Wan said, "This is a new disciple who has only been in the sect for three months. He is currently learning from the sect's senior disciple. He has not left the mountain once since he came here. I didn't expect that..."

She sighed and couldn't continue.

Chu Yunxi carefully examined the young man. He was still holding a sword in his hand. He was indeed killed in a fight. There was a trace of blood on his lips. The fatal wound was a sword piercing his chest. He died on the spot.

"Who was the first to discover the dead man?"

"It was Yan Xu who was on night patrol. He passed by here and happened to hear the fighting coming from here. He hurried in but only saw the murderer's back."

Madam Wan was very cooperative and answered every question Chu Yunxi asked. Chu Yunxi walked to the window and looked at the ground and the windowsill. There was only a shallow footprint.

It shouldn't be Wen Rulan. Wen Rulan would not leave footprints, and he would not kill such a young man. More importantly, with his martial arts skills, there is no way the young man could discover him and even exchange a few moves with him.

Chu Yunxi felt relieved and didn't say much. Her current identity was just a member of the escort agency, so it would not be appropriate for her to investigate the case.

Back in the open space in front of the room, Chu Yunxi told Wen Rulan and the others what she had just discovered. Old Madam Wan had already arranged for people to take people away one by one, question them separately, and search for suspicious people.

Chu Yunxi took this opportunity to ask Wen Rulan, "Why were you with Xiaowei just now?"

Wen Rulan lowered her voice and said, "Actually, I also saw the murderer."

Chu Yunxi was shocked, and Wen Rulan then quietly told them what happened tonight.

It turned out that he went out to look for clues tonight with no particular purpose. Wherever he went, he would listen to the noise to see if there was anything suspicious.

When he was just above the ancestral hall, he heard the sound of fighting coming from inside the hall, so he secretly looked down from above and saw the dead boy attacking the man on the opposite side with his sword, saying as he fought, "How can you be worthy of your master by doing this?"

The man opposite just dodged at first and did not fight back, but later he heard a noise outside and he became anxious. His martial arts skills were much higher than that young man's, and he killed the young man with just one move.
