Ji Langyue slowly opened her eyes, and Rumo's pupils slowly changed from empty to original indifferent and distant, but she was startled when she saw the people around her.

"Cen Jin, why are you in my room?"

There was a hint of panic on his expression, he wouldn't have slept with this guy in his arms again yesterday, right?

Li Wanjin pursed her lips, showing her hurt face, "Master, you were drunk and talking nonsense for half the night last night. This disciple can only watch you here, and never leave you."

"what?"

Drunk?

Talking nonsense?

Ji Langyue's face flushed slightly.

This person is set to collapse to death!

"What did I say last night?"

You won't say any strange words that came through a book.

Li Wan saw the panic on Ji Langyue's face at a glance today. He thought that this guy would always be so calm, but he didn't expect that there would be times of panic. Seeing how flustered he was, he still didn't forget to maintain his indifferent appearance. feel.

Pretty cute.

"Master said that he likes a man named Li Wanjin, who is that man?"

Li Wanjin blinked and looked at Ji Langyue curiously.

Ji Langyue: "..."

This character is really broken! ! !

How could Ji Langyue like the traitor Li Wanjin!

Ji Langyue stood up all of a sudden, and said indifferently, "You must have misheard, Li Wanjin is Qing Yunfeng's enemy, it is him who defected from the sect and killed Tianyang Immortal Venerable, I can't wait to unload him Eight yuan, how could you like him?"

These words were resounding and resolute, as if hating Li Wanjin to the bone, he left without looking back after speaking.

Li Wanjin stared at his back and laughed silently.

The mouth is not the heart.

Yan Zhenjiu can't lie, Ji Langyue can't fake his feelings for him, but why?

The two had no relationship when they were senior brothers, and it was even more impossible after they killed Tian Yang.

If it wasn't for Ji Langyue's unique strength, he would have wondered if Ji Langyue in front of him was also a fake.

However, if Ji Langyue really loves herself, can she use this to get Leng Yuwan?

The sun rises.

Outside the courtyard, the shadows of the trees danced and the cicadas chirped.

Most of the disciples of Qingyun Peak were hungover last night, so they woke up at this time and had breakfast in the hall.

Ji Langyue was going to eat a bowl of hot porridge to rest her stomach. Chen Zhai's white porridge was very fragrant, with thick rice oil on top.

Just when Ji Langyue was full, Jiang Huaiyu on the left handed over a boiled egg, and Cen Jin on the right handed over a plate of fried dough sticks.

Huaiyu showed a smiling face, with a fawning expression on his face, "Master, eat eggs, I was really curious about the taste of Yanzhen wine last night, so I tasted it..."

"So you tasted six cups?"

Suifeng told Ji Langyue this number, and when Suifeng said it, he gave a thumbs up with admiration on his face.

"Senior nephew Huaiyu is huge!"

Jiang Huaiyu blushed for a while, "It's so delicious." She shook Ji Langyue's arm, her round eyes curled up, "Master, don't be angry."

Ji Langyue snorted softly.

"It's not an example."

He picked up the boiled egg and peeled it, leaving the fried sticks untouched.

The main reason is that he feels that eating fritters is not in line with Xianzun's temperament.

Said, "Cen Jin, one egg is enough for me, you can eat it yourself."

Li Wan watched him eat the eggs Jiang Huaiyu gave him, but he didn't touch his own fried dough sticks, feeling worried.

He took the fried dough sticks back, and noticed that Ji Langyue liked a sour pickle very much, so he reached out and took the pickle away.

Let you eat eggs so delicious.

Ji Langyue didn't feel that she had finished her breakfast at all.

After eating too much breakfast, it is time to investigate the case.

After asking the servants, Ji Langyue knew that the biggest case in Chen's house was the death of three young maids, all around 20 years old, and all of them looked like flowers and jade.

The three maids died in the three months since Aunt Fourteen entered the mansion, and each time it was the second night Chen Yuanwai favored, they slipped and fell into the water and drowned.

When they were found, there was no trauma on their bodies, so it should not be caused by human beings.

The servant lowered his eyebrows and said cautiously, "One of the servant girls who served Fourteenth Aunt said that when Fourteenth Aunt was changing clothes, she seemed to see a fox's tail. My lords, it is said that fox demons have the ability to confuse people's hearts. It is rumored that Aunt Fourteen was jealous of the maids, so she bewitched these maids and made them jump into the pond and drown herself."

……

They were all beautiful maids, they were all favored before they died, and they were all drowned.

Ji Langyue nodded and continued to ask.

"Apart from the absence of trauma, do those corpses have any common characteristics?"

"Common traits?"

Hearing this, the servant shook his head, "No more."

When he was about to bow his head and leave, he suddenly remembered something and said, "By the way, those maids have..."

"Ah yes!"

A female voice came from a distance, interrupting Ah Shi's words.

Ji Langyue looked at Mrs. Liu who was hurrying over, raised her brows, nodded and said, "Madam Liu."

Mrs. Liu smiled and said, "Is the Immortal Elder investigating the case? The servants in the mansion don't know anything. I handle the final funeral of these maidservants. Why don't the Immortal Elder come and ask me, I will know everything."

Jiang Huaiyu stared at Liu Shi. Liu Shi's smile was a little stiff because of too many wrinkles on his face.

I don't know if it's an illusion, but Jiang Huaiyu always feels that today's Liu family seems to have a few more wrinkles than yesterday's Liu family.

Is this person aging too fast?

It's a little weird fast.

Although Mrs. Liu spoke politely, after saying this, she immediately signaled the servant to go away with her eyes, and the servant understood and immediately withdrew.

Ji Langyue raised her eyes to look at the servant who was walking fast, knowing that she couldn't ask anything here today.

However, the process that should be followed still needs to be followed.

"I want to ask, is there anything in common between these maids?"

Mrs. Liu frowned and thought for a while, then finally shook her head and said, "No, I collected the corpses myself, except that they were all favored, they were all drowned, they have nothing in common."

Ji Langyue continued to ask, "Is there a servant patrolling the Chen residence that night?"

"some."

"Then why did these three servant girls die so silently and no one noticed?"

Liu's expression was not flustered, and she replied calmly, "Maybe she has been bewitched by some kind of trick, so that she forgot to call for help and struggle."

Ji Langyue shook her head, and said solemnly, "The fox demon's bewitching technique will fail when it comes into contact with water. These maids should have been thrown into the pond after they died."

Liu Shi raised her head abruptly, and was facing Ji Langyue's sharp eyes, a trace of panic flashed in her eyes, which was quickly overwhelmed.

"How could it be? The officials of the government have come to inspect them. There is no trauma on these maidservants. Wu Zuo also judged that they fell into the water by slipping."

"Oh? Then what if someone drugged them and threw them into the water?"

Ji Langyue took out a medicine bottle from her pocket and said to Liu Shi, "Wu Zuo can only test for injuries, but this bottle of medicine for me can detect what was taken in the corpse before death."

Jiang Huaiyu looked at Ji Langyue in surprise.

When did Qingyun Peak have such a magical thing?

Li Wanjin also raised her eyes slightly, staring at Ji Langyue who was serious and nonsense with great interest.

I haven't seen you for ten years, and this guy has changed so much.

In the past, this guy would never lie, and he despised this kind of lying behavior very much, but now he can lie without changing his face, and he is so serious.

"Mrs. Liu, if possible, we would like to open the coffin for an autopsy."

In □□, Ji Langyue uttered such a chilling sentence.

Liu suddenly sighed, "Immortal Chief, I'm sorry, I was afraid that these maids would make trouble after death due to some sorcery, so I cremated them directly."

Although her tone was very disappointed, everyone present could tell that she was obviously relieved.

Hearing this, Ji Langyue took back the medicine bottle and said, "That's a pity."

Mrs. Liu saluted the three of them, "If the three elders need anything, just ask the servants. I have something else to do, so I'm sorry."

After speaking, he led his subordinates and left straight away. Although he was still calm and calm, his footsteps were a little hurried.

Ji Langyue took a sip of tea, staring directly at the back of the gradually receding figure.

Jiang Huaiyu observed for a while and found no one around, so he said quietly, "Master, I think this Liu family is very suspicious."

She frowned and said, "This person seems to be obstructing our investigation."

"Well, crushing bones and ashes is the death penalty. Liu's cremation of them seems to destroy the evidence." Ji Langyue said slowly.

He himself knew who the real culprit in this case was, but everything had to follow the procedure.

Jiang Huaiyu said, "That servant seemed to know something just now, why don't we ask him again?"

Li Wanjin sneered, "The man has been hinted by Liu Shi, so he will definitely not say anything."

Jiang Huaiyu let out a sigh of relief, and said helplessly, "There is no way to find out, this family is all members of the Liu family."

"One more person."

"And her."

Two voices came at the same time, and Jiang Huaiyu suddenly smiled with crooked lips.

"Master, junior brother, you have a tacit understanding, who else?"

in the inn.

Ning Yan'er was locked in an inn, and two high-ranking disciples were guarding her.

When Ji Langyue saw Ning Yan'er, she was still silently wiping her tears with a handkerchief. When she saw the three of them, she always looked behind them habitually. After she didn't see the Chen Wansheng she was thinking of, she felt lost again. .

She invited the three of them to sit down and asked, "Do you have anything you want to ask?"

Ji Langyue went straight to the point, "Did you use bewitching skills on those three maids?"

Ning Yan'er shook her head, "I don't know these things, besides, I never ask who the master likes, as long as he is willing to come to my room, that's enough."

Ji Langyue: "..."

This is too humble!

So what's so good about the one surnamed Chen, has he poured ecstasy soup on all the young ladies?

"Then have you ever seen a dead body?"

Ning Yan'er nodded without hesitation, "I found the first corpse."

Only then did Ji Langyue know that the courtyard they live in now is the place where Ning Yan'er lived before, called "Thousand Carp Courtyard."

People died in the pond in front of her yard. She was as beautiful as a monster, and the body was only discovered after she came. When she moved away later, no one died in it again.

Perfect planting.

Ji Langyue asked, "Then have you found out if the corpses have anything in common?"

"Anything in common?"

Ning Yan'er's beautiful eyebrows were tightly frowned, and she hesitated, "A little bit, but I don't know whether I should say it or not."

Ji Langyue immediately said, "Say."

"These corpses all have a strong smell of alcohol." Ning Yan'er recalled

"Smell of wine?"

"Yes, but the Chen's house is in the winery business, and the servants can drink the wine from the master's house, so I don't know if this is considered a common point, but the smell on them is too strong for people not to notice."

"Is that wine Yanzhen wine?"

Ning Yan'er shook her head, "Yanzhen wine is only sold to high-ranking officials and dignitaries. It is rare to brew, and only one jar is produced a year. Even Brother Sheng doesn't drink it easily. How can these servants taste it?"
