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

Hearing that they were from the Dali Temple, the night watchman felt relieved. He saw Xiao Mubei and Chu Yunxi squatting beside the corpse.

The deceased was none other than Doctor Yan, who was known for being able to snatch people back from the hands of the King of Hell, but this time he failed to snatch himself back.

His fatal wound was a sword piercing his heart. The murderer acted very skillfully without any hesitation. The edge of the wound was smooth, and the man had already died as the sword went in and out.

"The murderer was targeting Doctor Yan. It was a premeditated murder." Chu Yunxi concluded after examining the cause of death, "It seems that the murderer knew that Doctor Yan would pass by here at night."

Xiao Mubei nodded and ordered Hei Mu to go to the Dali Temple to call for help, and Bai Yu brought the night watchman over.

Xiao Mubei said: "Tell me everything you just saw."

The night watchman trembled and said, "Just now, when I came over the bridge, I vaguely saw someone coming towards me from under the bridge. I wondered why there was someone there so late at night, so I took a few quick steps to see who it was. Just as I saw clearly that it was Doctor Yan, a man suddenly flew out from the alley at a very fast speed, holding a shining sword in his hand, and stabbed Doctor Yan in the heart with one sword, and then pulled it out. Doctor Yan fell to the ground, twitched twice, and then he was motionless."

"Then did you see the other person's appearance clearly?" Chu Yunxi asked.

The night watchman shook his head. "That man was dressed in black, with a black scarf wrapped around his head and face, leaving only a pair of eyes exposed. I was so scared that I stood there stupidly. That man glanced at me, and I got scared and immediately turned and ran. He didn't chase me, and when he came back, he was with you guys."

Although the night watchman was quite frightened, his description was quite detailed. Chu Yunxi then asked, "Is that person a man or a woman? Is he fat or thin? Is he tall or short?"

The night watchman thought hard and said, "It's a man, a little shorter than this gentleman," he pointed at Bai Yu, "not fat, but strong, you can't tell from his appearance."

Chu Yunxi habitually tapped the Liyue bracelet and said while thinking: "You just said that the murderer flew out? Does he know Qinggong?"

The night watchman nodded hurriedly, "Yes, that's right, it was Qinggong. He was so fast that in the blink of an eye, he had already stabbed the sword into Doctor Yan's chest."

He can perform Qinggong, and it seems that he is a martial artist. Doctor Yan is just a doctor who is weak and looks to be over 50 years old. Who would wait here in the middle of the night to kill him?

Chu Yunxi thought for a moment and said, "You said that Doctor Yan often walks this road alone in the middle of the night? Do you know where he goes?"

The night watchman shook his head. "How could I know? But he was carrying a medicine box, so he must be going out to see a doctor."

Chu Yunxi saw that there was indeed a medicine box rolling next to Doctor Yan, but there wasn't much in it, just some common wound medicine and a set of golden needles. She murmured, "No, if he was going out to see a doctor, why didn't he bring a medicine boy or an attendant? Jin Yutang makes so much money, it doesn't make sense that they can't even afford a medicine boy."

Xiao Mubei said: "Maybe he is not going to see a doctor. You can find out the answer by asking at Jinyutang."

"Yes." Chu Yunxi responded and said to the night watchman, "Go back and leave your home address. Don't go far away recently. If there is any need, we will contact you at any time to ask questions."

After the night watchman hurriedly responded, he fled the scene. At this time, people from the Dali Temple also arrived, and Li Jinghong also came.

Chu Yunxi asked curiously, "Li Shaoqing, why are you here? Aren't you at home packing up and taking care of your aunt?"

Li Jinghong ordered the Dali Temple police to carry Doctor Yan's body back, and then he said, "I originally wanted to go back to the Dali Temple to get something, but I didn't expect to catch you asking Hei Mu to call for help. I had nothing else to do, so I followed you."

"Then come with us to Jinyutang. We have finished our work here."

Chu Yunxi, Xiao Mubei, Li Jinghong, Baiyu and Heimu arrived at West Fourth Street together. It was quiet here and the people had already gone to sleep.

The wonton stall was also covered with oilcloth and pressed down with a few bricks. The same was true for the other stalls. Chu Yunxi walked slowly, and suddenly she squinted her eyes and looked into the distance.

"What are you looking at?" Xiao Mubei didn't quite understand.

Chu Yunxi pointed to the street ahead and said, "Your Highness, look, is there any light over there? Are there still people doing business?"

Xiao Mubei used all his eyesight to look over there, and indeed saw a glimmer of light, "Bai Yu."

Bai Yu immediately understood and used his Qinggong to go over. He came back in a moment and said, "Your Highness, there is an old man selling noodles at the corner of the street."

Xiao Mubei looked at Chu Yunxi approvingly, "You have a pretty good eye."

"No, it's just average." Chu Yunxi said modestly, but she couldn't hide the pride on her face.

"Want to go ask?"

Chu Yunxi shook her head, "Not for now."

I haven’t asked Jin Yutang yet, so I’d better go to Jin Yutang first.

In fact, several people were already at the door of Jinyu Hall, but Jinyu Hall was now pitch black, and it was obvious that either there was no one inside or everyone was asleep.

Hei Mu went forward and knocked on the door. After a while, he heard footsteps. A young man's voice asked with a bit of sleepiness, "Is the master back?"

"The Dali Temple is investigating a case. Open the door quickly." Heimu said in a very confident manner.

The people inside were obviously panicked for a moment. There was a sound of a stool falling to the ground, mixed with a low cry of pain from the boy. A light came on from the crack of the door, and after a while, the door opened from the inside, and a fair-skinned boy appeared in everyone's sight.

The boy was about fifteen or sixteen years old, with bright eyes. He blinked his big eyes and said hesitantly, "My lords, it's so late, what can I do for you?"

Chu Yunxi separated the crowd and walked to the front, asking, "Is your shopkeeper here?"

Everyone knew that Doctor Yan couldn't be here, so they didn't quite understand why Chu Yunxi asked this question. Sure enough, the young man hesitated for a moment and said, "The shopkeeper is not here, what do you want to see him for?"

"Where has the shopkeeper gone so late at night? The Dali Temple wants him to assist in investigating a case." Chu Yunxi lied without blushing or beating her heart.

The young man had obviously never experienced this phenomenon before, and said without hesitation: "The master went to treat the noble man and has not returned yet."

A noble person? Chu Yunxi and Xiao Mubei looked at each other. Xiao Mubei deliberately frowned and said, "You are lying. How could a noble person ask your master to go to the doctor in the middle of the night? If you are interfering with the investigation, I have the right to put you in jail."

The young man panicked when he heard this, "Sir, it's true, the master really went to treat the noble man. He went there every few nights in the past few months, but he never allowed me to follow him, so I don't know where the master went."

Keeping it so secret? It doesn't seem like a good thing. Chu Yunxi could see that the boy was not lying, so she smiled faintly and said, "Okay, I believe you."
