"Xu Shan, who do you think the murderer is targeting?"

After Qinglong finished speaking, Xu Shan smiled and replied, "The sponsor of this case!"

"My chances are not small, and yours are not small either."

"Such a confident murderer might be right under our noses, waiting to admire his 'masterpiece'."

In the tailor shop located in the inn where the crime occurred, a dark shadow looked through the wooden window at the constables diagonally opposite, who were constantly carrying out corpses from the inn.

"Hehehe!"

After taking in the entire scene, he let out a sinister laugh, revealing his yellow and black teeth.

"do you died?"

"What emperor's personal soldiers, the glory of the court..."

"Nothing!"

'Pah-ta-ta.'

"Xu."

Just as he finished muttering this, Li Yuanfang, who had rushed from the palace, returned to the crime scene with many files and a brocade box.

Not long after, the dark shadow hiding in the tailor shop saw his target person, Xu Shan, jump out of the inn and stand on the roof.

When he saw Xu Shan holding a square plate and looking around for something, the confident smile on his face froze in an instant.

"Star compass?"

"Xingluodiankun!"

"He's looking for my location?"

"how is this possible?"

"He knows the art of summoning evil spirits? He also knows about [Bone Flute to summon evil spirits, Death Gate to occupy Kun]?"

While saying this, the shadow's right hand, which was like a dead branch, grasped the bone flute made of human bones beside him, making it squeak.

The plan that he claimed was flawless was thwarted by the other party just like that?

At this moment, Qinglong and others in the inn were looking up at Xu Shan standing on the roof.

He asked Li Yuanfang in surprise, "Yuanfang, what did the Heavenly Master say?"

"Tianshi, upon learning it might be [Demon Spell], you immediately ordered the files to be handed over to your subordinates. Before leaving, you solemnly handed this star compass to me."

"It is said that Lord Xu was able to identify it as a magic spell, so he recognized this thing."

"He even muttered 'Zhao Qi Zhan Kun'!"

Hearing this, Qinglong looked at Jin Jiuling beside him, and they both said in unison: "Kun Palace, Death Gate!"

"Yes! It can simultaneously inflict curses on five victims..."

"The location chosen by the murderer must be the 'Death Gate' located between the three inns."

"This thing is metaphysics!"

While people below were talking, Xu Shan, who was on the roof, was looking at the star compass and muttering to himself based on his memory.

"Death Gate, the Five Elements belong to Earth!"

"Become a minister in summer, be imprisoned in winter, and die in spring."

"Gen Palace is in reverse, Xun Palace is in the tomb, and Zhen Palace is suppressed..."

"The southwest Kun Palace is Fu Yin!"

'Shuh! '

Xu Shan identified the direction of the Death Gate based on the compass, the surrounding terrain and the direction, and stared at the closed tailor shop with sharp eyes.

He tightly grasped the handle of the Zhengyang Sword and jumped from the roof to the ground.

During this time, he shouted to Li Yuanfang: "With this tailor shop as the center, all the surrounding streets will be blocked off."

"Yes."

Upon hearing this, Qinglong, Jin Jiuling, Tieshou and others jumped over the inn and went straight to the tailor shop.

'boom. ’

As Xu Shan kicked open the door, a strange smell mixed with blood hit his nose.

"Dead! The body is covered with livor mortis."

"It's so cold, it must last at least six hours!"

After making sure that the tailor shop was empty, Qinglong and others who found the bodies of the former owner and the clerk talked in low voices.

As they said this, their eyes followed Xu Shan's figure and were locked on the attic.

Following them up, they saw Xu Shan looking at an incense burner made of a human skull.

"Call for the incense!"

After sniffing it carefully, Xu Shan muttered to himself.

"The incense ash is still warm!"

As he said this, Xu Shan stood in front of the black shadow, watching every move outside through the hollow carvings on the wooden window.

"He was standing here just now, watching our every move."

"So damn arrogant."

After Xu Shan finished speaking, Qinglong and Jin Jiuling immediately ordered people to thoroughly investigate all suspicious people on the surrounding streets.

After communicating with the shopkeeper and the clerk, Xu Shan got nothing. However, he saw a bloody portrait at the angle of the corpse.
