I cross the cold pond

In fact, this has always been a very puzzling point for Xu Ziru.

In a world where there are demons and ghosts, and they can summon souls to exorcise evil spirits, and ask immortals to ask questions. If someone is murdered, they can only report to the government to deal with it, or rely on evidence to find out who the murderer is.

Xu Ziru feels that the background setting of this world view is not perfect and needs to be strengthened.

The hour was almost over, and Xu Ziru was holding a small lantern in his hand, not wanting to disturb the discussion of the case between the distant brothers and sisters in front of him, and he was really sleepy too.

He yawned, thinking that if he died tomorrow, he would wait until today was over, and with a small lamp in his hand, he prepared to go back to his room and go to sleep first.

The foot only moved half an inch, and Yan Qinghe, who was analyzing the death scene with others, reached out and directly grabbed his wrist holding the lantern.

Xu Ziru was stunned for a moment, and suddenly felt that the skin on his wrist seemed to be scalded by boiling water. His hand trembled, and the small lantern he was holding fell to the ground with a "plop".

The candlelight quickly licked the lantern paper.

The boss of Xu Ziru didn't want to wave away Yan Qinghe's hand pinching his wrist, and raised his foot to step on the burning fire.

"Unlucky!" Xu Ziru complained in a rough voice.

Yan Qinghe raised his hand and pinched a formula to extinguish the fire under his feet.

Just at this moment, the clouds covered the moon, and after the candles under his feet were extinguished, Xu Ziru became half blind.

In the entire corridor, only Xu Ziru did not have the night vision function. After the candles were extinguished, he could only vaguely see the two people standing in front of him.

He stomped his feet, cursed bad luck twice, and stretched out his hand to grab Shen Di blindly.

"Junior Brother Shen Di, take me back to the bedroom, and I will solve this murder case for you."

Yan Qinghe, who had been silent all this time, murmured after hearing the words: "Do you know who it is?"

Shen Di was young and energetic, and when she heard the words, she retorted: "How do you know what you said is right?"

Xu Ziru pretended to laugh twice: "Because I am a half-immortal and you are not."

Xu Ziru coaxed Shen Di to send him to the door of his room, he stood at the door, pushed the door open and chattered: "I don't know what's going on in this He family's house?"

"I didn't care about the banquet, and there were so many young servants standing together in the front hall that no one could get down, but a few candles were reluctant to light, and a corridor could not even see a light..."

Xu Ziru opened the door of his room chattering, picked up the torch next to the door, and immediately lit the lamp.

"You can't see at night?" Shen Di asked at the door of his room.

Xu Ziru smiled when he heard the words: "We who are half-immortals use our health to reveal the secrets to you. What is it that we can't see at night?"

——Of course, there may be vitamin A deficiency.

Xu Ziru silently added in his heart.

Hearing this, Yan Qinghe frowned and stepped directly into Xu Ziru's room. He raised his hand and pinched Xu Ziru's wrist, and put his two fingers on the pulse to diagnose Xu Ziru's pulse.

After two or three seconds, he put down his hand and asked concisely, "You said you knew the murderer?"

Shen Di heard the words and looked over with burning eyes.

"Exclude me first."

He spoke freely and slowly.

"..." Shen Di paused, the expression on his face was a bit indescribable.

"Well, what about after that?" Yan Qinghe answered calmly.

Xu Ziru walked to his desk, straightened his cuffs, and poured himself a cup of tea.

"I don't have any deep hatred with Xiao An. At most, I see that he likes to tease him, and it will never be to the point of murder."

Shen Di and Yan Qinghe were still standing at the door of Xu Ziru's room, and they both looked at Xu Ziru calmly.

"Death in front of the spirit summoning platform, and there is obviously no trace of violent fighting, it proves that the murderer is an acquaintance of the deceased, or someone who will not be guarded by the deceased when he appears next to the deceased. This can also rule me out.

When Xiao Qi saw me, he was like a hedgehog ready to attack at any time. "

Xu Ziru added.

"No one doesn't believe you."

Yan Qinghe said lightly.

Xu Ziru nodded: "Well, then you won't stand at the door of my room listening to me.

But under normal circumstances, I have to clear my suspicions first. "

Shen Di came in from the door first, and he sat beside Xu Ziru, hesitantly said after a while: "I didn't really believe you before."

Xu Ziru blinked her eyes pretending to be surprised when she heard the words, and then sighed: "Then you really have a bad brain. If all the young people of your school are people like you, it will be very difficult in the future."

Shen Di frowned.

Yan Qinghe walked into the door, stood against the wall, and asked for a while, "Do you think that the person who harmed Xiao An and He Dashan is the same person?"

"Huh? Why?" Shen Di was a little puzzled.

Xu Ziru nodded: "I had some doubts before. I suspected that it was the housekeeper or He Chan who made the good man fall asleep."

Xu Ziru added: "No matter what the two of them expressed at the banquet is true or false, but the matter should be what He Chan said, and the two who are the worst are also trying to make money.

The money and property in this house are all donated by the good man Jiangnan's hometown. If the good man passes away, they will never receive the large amount of gold and silver from the good man's hometown on time. "

"So they are the ones who most hope that the good people can live well?" Shen Di nodded upon hearing this.

Xu Ziru said: "I really don't know who a good person has had a bad relationship with.

But Xiao Qi, who died in front of the summoning platform today, I think it's obviously because the murderer didn't want the good man to be rescued. "

Xu Ziru said again: "And I just happened to set up a platform for this person before entering the gate. Firstly, this person could have killed Xiao An and framed me, who had quarreled with Xiao An since the beginning of the entrance. Second, he might really be afraid of me. This half-immortal nickname that was called out by others can make today's soul-calling ceremony fail again."

Xu Ziru paused and then added: "The next day, I, the suspect, was brought into the government and imprisoned.

Maybe this person can also push the good man's affairs onto me by the way. "

After Xu Ziru finished speaking in one breath, he took a sip of water to moisten his throat, and Shen Di couldn't wait to ask: "Then who is this murderer?"

Xu Ziru stretched out his finger to dip the water in the teapot, and wrote the word "one" on the table: "The murderer needs to satisfy one, he has a vicious relationship with a good person."

Xu Ziru wrote the word "two" on the table again: "We need to consider what kind of person and what kind of reason can simply ask Xiao An to come to the summoning platform at night when there is no one around."

Shen Di pondered for a moment: "Xiao An is cautious, stingy, caring and somewhat jealous. The reason why he asked to go to the soul-calling platform, I guess the reason given is to let him participate in this soul-calling ceremony to save the benevolent, or someone told him Know who is the murderer who persecutes good people?"

Xu Ziru gave Shen Di a thumbs up, and said with a smile: "It seems that you know Xiao An's character very well."

Shen Di suddenly looked a little embarrassed, he couldn't arrange the dead people so freely like Xu Zirou.

"In the afternoon, you also helped to tie the guide strips for the soul-calling. Do you know a thing or two about the soul-calling ceremony at night?" Xu Ziru asked.

Shen Di said: "The summoning ceremony was arranged by Master An and Master An Xi, we don't know anything else.

And he asked us to inform everyone in the house that it is best not to go out when the twilight is approaching, so as not to spoil the spiritual summoning ceremony. "

Xu Ziru nodded: "When I tell fortunes to others, I don't like to be seen by others.

After all, he is a guy who eats, so it is not good to be learned by others. "

"..." Shen Di was a little speechless by Xu Ziru's words, and the thoughts that were originally condensed were disconnected.

Yan Qinghe, who had been silent at the side all this time, suddenly said, "Even if the two of them preside over the ceremony, they can't put aside the suspicion of others."

Shen Di let out a slow "ah": "It means that it is not certain that the murderer is Mr. An and Mr. An'xi?"

Xu Ziru said nonchalantly: "Xiao An is very cautious by nature, and there is a good man who has not woken up for several months sleeping in the He family mansion.

If an eight-foot man asked him out in the middle of the night and said he knew who the murderer was, would he go out? "

Shen Di was silent for a moment: "So the person who asked him out was much weaker than him, and he thought he could deal with it completely?"

After Shen Di finished speaking, he added: "Maybe Master An and Mr. An'an are going to carry out the soul-calling ceremony. They asked for his help. Presumably he felt that the three of them would be very safe, so he happily went to the appointment."

Xu Ziru said: "At dawn tomorrow, you can ask these target groups about their past with the good man. You should inquire from all angles of themselves, as well as the servants and adopted children in the good man's house."

Shen Di frowned when he heard the words, with suspicion on his face: "So you don't actually know who the murderer is, right?" He said, "The final determinant factor depends on who among the people today has a relationship with the good person. other sources."

Xu Ziru yawned and put gold on his face: "There must be very few good people who do good all their lives.

At least I narrowed it down a bit for you, right? "

After posting, he waved his hand: "Okay, it's getting late, I'm tired.

You also rest. "

Shen Di is very professional. After sorting out the information, he packed up and prepared to leave. He thought about going to ask everyone for news the next morning, and to observe the people who came yesterday and would not make Xiao An feel threatened. .

He got up and said goodbye to Xu Ziru, and walked towards the Yanqing River and said, "Brother, who do you think is likely to do this?" Yan Qinghe still stood silently inside the house.

"Brother?" He wondered.

"You go first, I have something to say to him."

Yan Qinghe said.

"Oh."

Although Shen Di had some doubts about what problem existed between Xu Ziru and Tianji Gate, she still left Xu Ziru's room very obediently.

After Shen Di left, she graciously closed the door for the two of them.

"Do you know the person who harmed Xiao An?" After a brief moment of silence in the room, Yan Qinghe asked aloud.

"Second Sound Immortal."

After Shen Di left, Xu Ziru's face turned cold, and when he heard the question, he only replied succinctly.

Yan Qinghe paused: "How do you know?"

Xu Ziru sneered: "Senior brother, I said earlier that I have the ability to see the future.

The half-immortal nickname was not picked up on the road, so if I pinch my fingers and do the math, don't I know the truth? "

Yan Qinghe looked unhappy, and his tone became cold: "Is this what you exchanged with the monster in your arms?"

Xu Ziru was stunned when he heard the words, and after realizing it, he replied in a cold tone: "If senior brother wants to subdue the demon, then he has to wait until I become a demon."

Yan Qinghe's tone was severe: "Tianjimen will not show mercy to you just because you are old acquaintances with them."

Xu Ziru laughed angrily at Yan Qinghe: "Yes, yes, I am not incompatible with the righteous and gentlemen.

After smelling your scent from a distance of 800 meters, I will run away with my tail between my legs. "

The expression on Yan Qinghe's face remained unchanged, dignified and solemn, as if he had been punished in the ancestral hall of the sect.

Xu Ziru said with a smile on his face: "Then please leave my devil's lair, lest I have to find a way to escape with my tail between my legs in the middle of the night."

The expressive expulsion order has been pasted on his face, but Yan Qinghe, who has always been praised for his understanding of etiquette and knowing how to advance and retreat, did not leave.

His face was gloomy, as if he foresaw the future that Xu Ziru had already entered the abyss.

At this moment, Xu Ziru suddenly realized why when he was still on the mountain, when his little senior sister made a mistake and was caught by Yan Qinghe, he would always whisper to him that seeing Yan Qinghe was as scary as seeing his own father.

Xu Ziru used to see that Yan Qinghe always had beautification several feet thick, and felt that everything about his senior brother was good, and he had no shortcomings.

Now that the self-beautified eyes are back to normal, I find that Yan Qinghe is really pedantic, and the three cardinal guides and five constant rules and precepts are bound to his body all the time, strictly abide by his own rules, and never make a single mistake.

People are really boring.

It is really……

When Xu Ziru thought of this, a feeling of irritability rose in his body that didn't come.

Yan Qinghe returned to his normal state after the short-term antipathy subsided, and sighed silently for a while.

"Since you said that Miao Yinxian is a harmer, why didn't you tell Shen Di directly and analyze so much with him?"

Xu Ziru seemed a little dispirited, and said casually: "It's all just a way to deceive children. Who knows that he has a bad brain and really believes everything."

Yan Qinghe seemed to think for a while, and finally sighed: "You have to do it yourself."

Xu Ziru replied, "I don't want to spare your trouble."

Yan Qinghe nodded, he turned around and wanted to leave, ready to end this unhappiness again.

Xu Ziru, but the boss became upset: "But I'm curious, the great virtuous man and the Tianji sect don't have a deep relationship. Could the Tianji sect, who has been hiding from the world for six years, come out simply because the great benevolent man fell asleep?"

Yan Qinghe glanced at Xu Ziru.

Xu Ziru wondered to himself: "And considering the relationship between you and the Great Shanren, is it really necessary to send you, Liuying, and Linglong together?"

Yan Qinghe seldom lied unless it was necessary, so he didn't say anything to refute the words freely, but asked instead: "Then why did you come?"

Yan Qinghe continued on his own: "You don't have a close relationship with the good man, and you have such a personality. It doesn't seem like something you can do to visit the good man because he is sleepy."

After he finished speaking, he clicked his tongue twice, and couldn't help raising the bar with Yan Qinghe: "Yes.

I have a stingy personality, and I will retaliate, and I don't have the slightest sense of gratitude for people and things. "

Yan Qinghe's tone seemed a little helpless: "I didn't say that about you."

Xu Ziru speaks with thorns, but Yan Qinghe seems to be invulnerable. Seeing that Xu Ziru wants to tear his face that looks like it will not change before the landslide.

Xu Ziru raised his leg and kicked his own bed board, and teased pretendingly: "Senior brother still stays in my room at this moment, do you want to stay and sleep with me?"

Yan Qinghe frowned when he heard this, but his tone of voice was still very restrained: "It's time for this matter, you need to go back to the Promise Gate with me.

The monsters you raise must be locked in the exorcism abyss of the sect. "

Xu Ziru didn't want to talk to him, so he joked more foolishly: "Senior brother, since you don't want to leave, don't think about monsters and other things, good nights are short."

Yan Qinghe's face remained unchanged: "Although you are not good at learning, you have been playful and willful since childhood.

But Uncle Liu also told you that monsters ravaged the world hundreds of years ago, and it took nearly a hundred years for people to die.

If there were no sects such as Tianjimen who sacrificed their lives to suppress demons at that time, it is not certain whether you and I are alive or dead, human or ghost at this moment. "

Feel free to say nothing.

Yan Qinghe continued: "I know you hate and blame me, but you must not make fun of the lives of the people in the world.

Keeping the monsters by your side is not something you do alone, feel free.

This is something for all of us. "

But Xu Ziru faintly sensed something from Yan Qinghe's serious words: "Now you can't even control such a small monster on my body, let it run down the mountain, right?"

Yan Qinghe frowned.

Xu Ziru's expression also became serious: "What is the purpose of your trip down the mountain? How many monsters have escaped from the Exorcism Abyss? Why is the good man lying on the bed? Do you know?"

Yan Qinghe didn't face Xu Ziru's continuous questions directly, and told Xu Ziru plainly: "The secrets of Tianji sect, you can't tell others."

Xu Ziru laughed when he heard the words: "Brother, don't you admit it in disguise?" He stood up from the table and said word by word while walking towards Yan Qinghe, "Also, brother, don't forget I
