Peach Blossom Button

Seeing the jade pendant, the expressions of the other three changed.

Bai Wangyan only felt his heart sink. It turned out that the jade pendant that he could not find when he came back here unexpectedly appeared here in this form!He glanced at Tao Mo out of the corner of his eye, and sure enough, this idiot who had just entered the rivers and lakes only found out that he had been framed.The expression on Mo Bin's face was also very embarrassing, his red and swollen eyes rolled away, and just as he was about to say something, Mo Li, who was holding the jade pendant tightly, spoke first.

"This jade pendant must have been lost by the murderer," he stared at the jade pendant. "I'll find someone to find out who owns this jade pendant! Now that there is no way out, the murderer who killed my father must be in this village!"

Before recovering from his grief, Mo Bin was out of breath. He wiped his tearful eyes with his sleeves, sat up unsteadily from the ground, and opened his mouth hesitantly, The voice was hoarse: "But, but this is not necessarily..."

His sharp eyes swept over, and Mo Li asked in a cold tone: "Does the third brother have another opinion?"

"I, I... Maybe this jade pendant is not the murderer..." The more Mo Bin said, the more he lost his confidence. The jade pendant belonged to Tao Mo, even if he knew that Tao Mo would not kill his father, but now the one who brought him into the Yanshi Pavilion I can't escape this relationship, if I continue to talk about it, once someone finds out, it will only become more and more black. Now among the four of them, the only one who can clear up the suspicion is Mo Li.

"Don't talk about it, follow me to open the gate of Yanshi Pavilion," Mo Li flicked his sleeves, "I have already informed Uncle Yang about this matter, and we will discuss with father's body first."

What was supposed to be a day of birthday turned into a day of great mourning.Shocked by this sudden funeral incident, the puppet servants quickly removed the festive red lanterns and all the decorations, and the peaceful and festive villa suddenly turned into plain white, cloudy, and the rain drenched the brightly colored remains on the ground. Flowers, heavy rain is more bleak.All the guests were caught off guard by the bad news. They were happy to come here to celebrate their birthday, but they didn't expect that there was just a funeral.

"Oh, I came here to celebrate my birthday, but I didn't expect it to be a murderous event," Boss Jin's bodyguard Wang Yong couldn't help sighing, and he glanced sideways at the silent Tao Mo, "Brother Tao, you don't look good. ?”

Tao Mo suddenly raised his head, but didn't know what to say, so he waved his hand.

He really didn't know what to say. When the four of them came out of the Tiange, Mo Li ordered the agency to transport the old owner's body away first. Mo Bin was so weak from crying, his eyes were dim, and he was carefully supported by Bai Wangyan along the way. When he was in front of the old servant, he couldn't hold back his emotions, and broke the embankment again with the tears he was holding back.

Life is full of ups and downs.After receiving the key to the Yanshi Pavilion, the next owner of the village, Mo Sanshao, who will call himself the boss and boss his brother around, will cry like this.Before, he had a slight prejudice against this Third Young Master Mo, but now he can't feel disgusted with him. This strange empathy made Tao Mo's heart feel even heavier.

Why do you have to bear this painful parting?

Just when Tao Mo bowed his head and said nothing, Jin Shuisheng had already walked in front of him. This boss Jin, who had a close relationship with Senluo Villa, now had a completely different attitude from the previous one.

"Benefactor," Boss Jin asked solemnly, "When you found Master Mo, was there any clue beside him?"

"Clue?" Tao Mo looked up blankly.Clues, there are clues, but the so-called "clues" are his lost jade pendants.He didn't know how to explain this matter to Mr. Jin who treated him very well, let alone how it would end once this matter was exposed.

Will anyone believe him?

Seeing Tao Mo was silent, Jin Shuisheng sighed, knowing that he couldn't ask anything from him.Just now, Jin Shuisheng heard from the attendant who went to check, that the death of the owner of the Mo village was extremely miserable. He was pierced through the heart by a sharp weapon, and his face was ferocious, and his eyes were wide open. The young master brushed his hands three times before closing the eyes of the owner. .

Jin Shuisheng knew in his heart that this was a violent death, there must be something hidden in it, he was surprised and regretful at the same time.He also knows that this old friend of many years is running out of time, and this birthday banquet is to show his life's painstaking effort to the guests, and then he is going to retire to the world and wait for his death in peace, but he never thought that this puppet artist The wizard, unexpectedly passed away in such a tragic way.

It was too cruel.

But he is a businessman after all.The owner of the villa passed away, but the one holding the position of the owner was Mo Bin, a young master. Although the third young master had high attainments in puppetry, his personality was his shortcoming. Moreover, the practicality of puppetry in certain aspects Not as good as Mechanism, this is not a very good business partner.Relatively speaking, the eldest young master with a calm personality is the first choice for doing business. Unfortunately, he can't stretch his fists in Senluo Villa, and Mo Bin, who will inherit the position of owner, has a bad relationship with him. I'm afraid... ...I'm afraid I will have to establish some "friendship" with Bei Gongshu.

Shaking his head, Jin Shuicheng sighed, this trip was really rough, encountered an ambush by the White Tiger Gang on the way here, and encountered such a tragedy in the village, it seems that the recent bad luck.

But Tao Mo didn't know what was going on in Boss Jin's mind. Now he was in a panic, and he didn't listen to a word Wang Yong whispered in his ear. His thoughts were completely absorbed by the jade pendant. Seeing the shadow of the young master, he was afraid that the jade pendant would be pointed out as his own in the next second.

But so what, the person didn't kill him, it was just a jade pendant.Thinking of this, he suddenly calmed down again, held his breath, and the young swordsman clutched the hilt of his sword, silently looking out of the crowd.

At this time, he didn't realize that in the crowd, he was also secretly watched by another person.

"The young master is here." The crowd suddenly retreated to the two sides, leaving a passage in the middle. In the heavy rain, it was the two young masters of the Mo family who came from far to near.Mo Li walked in front, and Mo Bin staggered behind. At this moment, the expressions on their faces were completely different.The heavy rain drenched Mo Li's robe black as ink. The black shadow that came from the pouring rain just walked quickly through the passage among the crowd and walked straight into the main hall. He didn't say anything. In a word, but the chill in the eyes is like this cold rain.Mo Bin's eye circles were red, and he couldn't tell whether it was rain or tears on his face. He walked with difficulty, followed behind his brother with his head down, and his robe dragged a long water stain on the floor.The two brothers just walked to the center of the hall, and the crowd gradually followed them, like the surface of water being smoothed.

silence.

When everyone thought that the young master had lost his voice, Mo Li opened his mouth slowly.

"Dear guests," unlike the trembling finale just now, every word that First Young Master Mo uttered was as dull and cold as raindrops falling on the eaves, "Because my father was attacked, the birthday party was forced Sorry about the cancellation."

"My condolences..." There was a heavy sigh in the main hall, and the guests also learned about it from various channels. Some people were in great pain because of the death of the owner of the villa, and some felt sorry for the loss of a puppet master in the rivers and lakes. People just regret not being able to witness the master's masterpiece in his life.

Mo Li's eyes wandered over the faces of the guests with different expressions, and suddenly, his eyes stopped on the white-clothed scholar standing in the corner.Bai Wangyan didn't stand with Tao Mo, he just stood in the corner of the hall, holding the white fan in his palm, lowering his eyes, as if he was thinking about something.At this moment, Bai Wangyan raised his head and met Mo Li's eyes.

Colliding with this line of sight, Mo Li naturally averted his gaze, and continued to speak: "I think everyone already knows what happened today. Father, he was killed by someone. Now the wind and rain have destroyed the mountain and cut off the The connection between Vientiane Lone Peak and the outside world, the murderer must still be hiding in Senluo Mountain Villa!"

There was an uproar.

Mo Li frowned, he just felt that now, it was too noisy, his head started to hurt again, and his bloodshot eyes were even more uncomfortable.Mo Bin, who barely stood behind Mo Li, his eyes were red and swollen like two peaches. He reached out and rubbed his eyes vigorously, but he was thinking about how to deal with the next thing.

This guy Mo Li is too straight-minded, he will definitely take out the jade pendant and ask the master directly, if this is the case... that brother Tao who has no city in his chest will definitely be implicated.He blinked those swollen eyes from crying vigorously, and at this moment, another gaze responded to him.Bai Wangyan shook the fan in his hand, and there was a calm and calm light in his eyes.

Mo Bin was taken aback for a moment, for some reason, Bai Wangyan had known him for many years, but he had never seen him treat anyone as well as Tao Mo.Mo Sanshao didn't know much about feelings, but he could still tell to this extent.

"Then did the young master find any clues?"

"We must help the young master and find the murderer! Avenge the owner!"

Sure enough, Mo Li glanced at all the guests, and said sharply: "The clue is already there. I found this jade pendant on my father's body. This jade pendant must have been left behind by the murderer!"

A stone stirred up a thousand waves.

"As long as we find the owner of the jade pendant, we will definitely find the murderer!" Someone concluded.

"Yes! To avenge the owner!"

Hearing the word "murderer", Tao Mo looked at the people in the martial arts who became more and more emotional, and suddenly felt as if his heart skipped two beats.How should this be done?Do I want to show that this waist pendant is my own now, but he didn't kill the owner?Tao Mo didn't have much experience in the world, so his mind was very confused for a while.But Boss Jin beside him suddenly changed his face when he saw the waist pendant.

Of course Jin Shuisheng knew this waist pendant.Ever since he was rescued from the White Tiger Gang by this silent young man in black, he has been secretly paying attention to this chivalrous young man, no matter in terms of clothing, appearance or behavior.He naturally recognized the emerald jade pendant hanging from the hem of the black clothes, and knew that the jade pendant was very valuable.But this jade pendant was found on the owner's body now...

Could it be that my years of acquaintance with people really made a mistake?Jin Shuisheng narrowed his eyes slightly and twirled his beard. Maybe this young man is just looking for Ge Baiyou as a cover, but his real purpose is to kill Zhuzhuang Zhu?This is really the most brilliant disguise, pretending to be honest, just to confuse them?But it doesn't make sense... If such a scheming person, why did he suddenly go wrong and leave things beside the corpse?

After staring at the waist pendant for a long time, Wang Yong finally understood why it looked so familiar. He looked at Tao Mo beside him, and pointed to his empty hem: "Isn't this waist pendant... yours?"

It was as if Tao Mo had been struck by lightning. He felt a chill all over, and he couldn't help taking a step back. Suddenly, countless pairs of eyes in the hall focused on him.

"murderer!"

"It looks quite honest, but it actually sneaked in to assassinate the owner!"

"Surround him, don't let him run away!"

The malicious words were like countless sharp swords, stabbing at Tao Mo suddenly, and what's more, they had already drawn their weapons and rushed towards him.Tao Mo was flustered, he had never been wronged so much before, he just stood there blankly, letting those cold words and hateful eyes pierced his body, in the confusion, he hurriedly asked Boss Jin who had always trusted him look away.

But he didn't get the response he wanted.

There was a lot of rain outside the window, and suddenly a thunderbolt struck the sky. Standing in the center of the hall, Mo Li picked up the jade pendant in his hand, and cast a serious look at the young swordsman who was almost overwhelmed by the crowd.

"This waist pendant is yours?"
