Gu Huainan's gaze was like a sharp knife for boning, carefully walking along Xie Zaiyue's meridians and bones.After a moment of silence, Xie Zaiyue noticed that the other party was abnormal, and couldn't help but stand on end, pretending to be drunk, and slipped away with Wangwang.Gu Huainan was still sitting in the private room, stroking his cup and smiling, wondering what he was thinking.

After leaving Deyi Building, it was completely dark, except for the restaurants with lights on, there was no light on the long street.

Seeing that there was no one around, Wang Wang immediately showed his real body.For some reason, Uncle Mao seemed to be in a bad mood, his eyes were particularly gloomy, he followed Xie Zaiyue for a while, and finally said: "Zaiyue, whether this Gu Huainan is the murderer or not, he deserves to die."

Xie Zaiyue was taken aback for a moment, subconsciously said: "Why?"

Wangwang raised his fluffy head, stared at his round eyes, and said very solemnly: "Because he...molested you."

Xie Zaiyue: "..."

Wang Wang said again: "If he is the murderer, then it just so happens... If not... the king must do it himself."

"The fat cat still knows about protecting the Lord. I am very pleased. I didn't waste those small dried fishes I stole from the kitchen for you." Xie Zaiyue laughed, but didn't understand the meaning of the words, and said in a low voice: "But , Gu Huainan is the murderer... the evil thoughts in him... I can feel it."

As soon as the words fell, the heavy snow came again in the darkness and silence. The gust of wind swept across the ground, blowing hard and dense snowflakes like salt particles, slapping the pedestrian's shoulders and cheeks.The few pedestrians on the road shrank their necks and quickened their pace.Xie Zaiyue tightened her cloak, rubbed her frozen ears, leaned over to pick up Wangwang, and hurried back to Dali Temple.

The lights in Dali Temple are brightly lit, as bright as daytime, and the earth dragons that are around the clock are roasting every inch of the air. The inside and outside of the house are like two different worlds. Xie Zaiyue, who just wanted to go out wrapped in a quilt, At this time, he couldn't stop using his hands as a fan, fanning his face.

"Master Duan is so generous, he is willing to spend so much money on charcoal fire." Xie Zaiyue couldn't help but sigh with emotion, dripping with sweat.

Hao Didian smiled, and said: "Master Duan is younger after all, we did not pay for the charcoal fire in Dali Temple by ourselves, otherwise how could Master Duan be like this..." He seemed to realize that what he said seemed to be talking about the leadership, so he immediately changed the subject Turning around: "The charcoal fire money in Dali Temple is specially distributed by the imperial court. It's not pity for our hard work in handling cases. It's just to find a job opportunity for prisoners who need to be reformed through labor. That's why they built many boilers and kept burning the fire all day long. "

Liu Yu, who was drinking tea at the side, laughed and said, "Master Duan, what we got is not warmth, but the criminal's naked hatred for us."

Xie Zaiyue: "..."

While talking, Duan Qiankun pushed the door open and entered.He took off his thick cloak, and was only wearing a single shirt underneath, so he didn't feel hot at all. He strolled towards the desk, looked at the sweaty crowd, and said, "It's only appropriate to wear clothes like this in Dali Temple." , why do you still wear such thick clothes one or two? Did you listen to what the old man usually says?"

Xie Zaiyue wiped off his sweat and said, "Master Duan, we all have to go out to handle cases. If we dress up like you, we will freeze to death on the street sooner or later."

Duan Qiankun glared at him and said, "Are you questioning me?"

Xie Zaiyue smiled sheepishly, and said "I dare not", thinking that Mr. Duan's attitude is really different whether Mr. Yan is there or not.

After Duan Qiankun finished educating his subordinates, he felt refreshed, cleared his throat and asked, "Is there any progress in the case of Zhang Bu's family search?"

Xie Zaiyue said: "The lower officials believe that Mr. Gu Huainan, the teacher in the house, has serious suspicions."

Duan Qiankun raised his eyebrows and asked, "Oh? How can you see that?"

Xie Zaiyue reported all the investigations during the day, and Duan Qiankun became more and more excited.

"Master Duan, Gu Huainan must be hiding something. His relationship with Tao Tao is definitely not what he said."

Duan Qiankun only smelled the gossip, squinted his eyes and said with a half-smile: "You just said that Zhang Shangshu's daughter had an affair with that teacher?"

Xie Zaiyue: "This...in my opinion, the key point is to pay attention to the relationship between Gu Huainan and Tao Tao."

Duan Qiankun had never heard of it, stood up with a whoosh, and said with a low smile: "Old Zhang, Lao Zhang, you have enough love for your job and dedication, but not enough care for your family. How can you compete with me for this year's top ten ministers?"

Liu Yu whispered, "My lord, why don't we talk about the case first?"

Duan Qiankun realized that he had lost his composure, and quickly said with a serious expression: "This old man and Zhang Shangshu have always been a fair and friendly competition. If there is no evidence, you are not allowed to act rashly, so as not to give others a blame. Do you understand?"

Xie Zaiyue nodded, this is also his scruples, Zhang Buxun is the official of the imperial court, and he is also the minister in charge of the Ministry of Punishment, he needs to be cautious in obtaining evidence, otherwise it is easy to fall into the wrong place, let Master Duan take the burden of quick success and discredit his colleagues reputation.

Seeing that his subordinates had no objections, Duan Qiankun put on his cloak again and disappeared into the vast night.

At this time, the sky was full of drums, and Liu Yu and Hao yawned profusely, so they couldn't help but say goodbye and go to rest.There was only one cat and one person left in the house, still thinking about the case.

Wangwang said: "Zaiyue, have you noticed that Gu Huainan is always groping for something?"

Xie Zaiyue frowned and nodded: "That thing is very strange, I have never seen it before, it looks like a piece of... skin..."

Wangwang raised his head, his night-like dark eyes gleamed with an unknown light, he was silent for a moment, and said softly: "I was also surprised at the time, I just thought the smell was a bit familiar, now that I think about it, it should be Tao Tao's human skin!"

Xie Zaiyue was horrified when he heard the words, and said in disbelief: "Is your sense of smell reliable?"

Wangwang said: "No mistake, when I entered Dali Temple, I thought of the taste of Taotao, which is exactly the same as that pendant."

Xie Zaiyue fell silent suddenly, and turned to look outside the house. The lanterns under the eaves were very bright, and she could clearly see the snowflakes roaring and turning downwards anxiously. A dense net seemed to be approaching step by step.

People in the warm room do not know that the wind and snow are approaching.

After a long time, Xie Zaiyue suddenly said: "Gu Huainan wants to kill Tao Tao, but also to dismember the body and take the skin. This needs at least a safe and quiet place. Where do you think it will be?"

Wangwang thought for a while, and said: "I met Zhang Mengyao and Gu Huainan in front of the Zhang Mansion this afternoon. Zhang Mengyao said that Gu Huainan was going home, so he didn't live in the Zhang Mansion, so his house...maybe the place where the crime happened! "

Xie Zaiyue nodded: "I don't believe his family has no evidence at all, fat cat, call Lao Liu tomorrow during the day, let's sneak away."

Wangwang said, "Go during the day?"

Xie Zaiyue said: "Gu Huainan has to go to Zhang's residence for classes during the day, and there is no one at home. This is a good time for us to sneak in."

Wangwang said: "The plan is good, but Liu Yu will do this kind of thing with us?"

For the employees of Dali Temple, trespassing on private houses is a crime of knowingly breaking the law, and it is an extra crime.

Xie Zaiyue frowned, he couldn't help being in trouble, he could naturally go alone, with his kung fu, it is estimated that the two Gu Huainan are no match.It’s just that for some reason, I panicked for no reason, always felt that something was waiting for him ahead, so I wanted to invite people to go with me, so that we could take care of each other at that time, so that if something happened, there would be no one to report it.

Yan Han and Hengbo are not here, Lao Liu can't do it, Song Liuguang is too weak, where can I find a helper here?Xie Zaiyue thought about it, and suddenly his eyes lit up, and said: "Yes, there is him!"

The next day, around noon, Xie Zaiyue had just stepped over the high threshold of Dali Temple with one foot, when he saw Hengbo standing outside with a pensive expression.

"Sister Hengbo, why are you back, where is Lord Yan?" Xie Zaiyue looked left and right, but Yan Han was not there.

Hengbo raised his head thoughtfully, stared at Xie Zaiyue intently for a while, then suddenly smiled and said: "Your Majesty still has some things to do, he sent me back first to help you."

"Sure enough, Mr. Yan is kind and caring for his subordinates. Sister Hengbo's visit here is really a timely gift." Xie Zaiyue praised sincerely.

Xie Zaiyue originally planned to go to the foot of Lihen Mountain to find Yao Jinge, and asked him to spy on Gu Huainan's mansion together with him, but now that Hengbo came, the two of them happened to be walking together, and there was a god who made a move, and one of them was worth at least ten Yao Jinge, so this trip was quite sure.

"Hengbo, why did Yan Han go back to the underworld?" A cold and deep voice came from nowhere.

Hengbo glanced around vigilantly, and said, "Who is talking?"

Xie Zaiyue pointed to the hairpin on his finger and said, "The White Tiger Immortal is prosperous."

It turns out that Wangwang has turned into a hosta hairpin today, pinning it on Xie Zaiyue's head proudly.

Hengbo smiled knowingly, and said inexplicably, "Wangwang, you have really worked so hard for...."

Wangwang said, "You haven't answered my question yet."

Hengbo shrugged his shoulders, and said in an unnatural tone: "There is something going on in the underworld, and it's beyond your control."

Wangwang obviously didn't believe it, so he lowered his voice and said, "Really? Hengbo, my lord warns you, don't pretend to be smart."

Hengbo lowered his eyebrows, then quickly looked away.

"Hey, what charades are you two playing?" Xie Zaiyue was at a loss.

"Don't worry about it." One cat and one fairy said in unison.

Xie Zaiyue: "..." Well, since Master Yan is not here, even the cat rebelled.
