In the forest, the blade of a long sword stabbed at Huangfu Nan.

Huangfu Nan dodged in embarrassment, and the long sword followed him like a shadow.Huangfu Nan let out a cry of surprise, all the pear blossom needles in his sleeve were shot out, and the opponent blocked most of the needles with a long sword, but his arm was still pierced by a lot of needles, causing him to croak in pain.

Huangfu Nan heaved a sigh of relief while still in shock, and in front of her, a group of people were fighting in scuffle, swords and swords dazzled her, and she couldn't tell whether they were enemies or friends.

Sure enough, the murderer would strike again.

She looked at the sedan chair among the crowd, and suddenly saw a figure approaching from a distance, and the passing figure was like a bird.He didn't join the melee, but rushed directly to the sedan chair.However, before he kicked open the sedan door, a long sword as clear as autumn water stabbed out from inside the sedan chair, "Brave robber!"

Ding Yuehua scolded angrily, and the person had already jumped out of the sedan chair in a frightened manner.

Huangfu Nan looked at the enemy and us, and couldn't help frowning.It stands to reason that the murderer acted again, he must have known that the government had intervened in this matter.But why is there such a disparity in the balance of power between the enemy and ourselves?Since he wanted to make the plot in the book a reality, he must have the mentality that he must succeed, and the people he sent could not be so weak.

After Huangfu Nan watched Zhan Zhao, Ma Han and the others finish off those people, he put one foot on the back of the bandit on the ground, and watched Ding Yuehua and the man with two knives fighting in leisure time.

Huangfu Nan: "..."

Although it is said that Ding Yuehua is in the upper hand, can these bears be a little bit sympathetic, so as not to make them too tired.

Just when Huangfu Nan was sighing, he saw that Ding Yuehua had already flew up, and in mid-air, he swung the Zhanlu sword in his hand, and slashed out several sword auras. It had already landed with a "bang", and then the whole person knelt on the ground.

Ding Yuehua's figure lightly landed on the ground, Zhanlu Jianfeng pointed at the man's throat, "Damn it, take your life!"

However, before she could make a move, the Juque sword in Zhan Zhao's hand had already flown over, hitting Ding Yuehua's wrist impartially, "Miss Ding, keep someone under the sword."

And the man was so frightened that his face turned ashen, "Grandma, please forgive me, hero please forgive me, the little one is only the man's money, and I don't know anything else."

Huangfu Nan frowned, and looked at Zhan Zhao, who was also looking at her.

The question in their hearts was the same: How could such a person be the one who killed the three members of the Chen family quietly and arranged the scene flawlessly?

Huangfu Nan's heart sank, she must have overlooked something.

At this moment, Zhao Hu was galloping over on his horse, "Fourth Miss, guard Zhan, Mr. Gongsun has been assassinated!"

Huangfu Nan: "...!"

Zhan Zhao's face changed, but he was used to seeing scenes after all, so he calmed down immediately, "Where's Ms. Chen?"

Zhao Hu: "Miss Chen is missing, my lord tells you to go back quickly."

When Huangfu Nan and Zhan Zhao rushed back to the mansion, Gongsun Ce was already unconscious, and the doctor was helping him bandage the wound. Huangfu Nan couldn't go in and could only wait at the door.She stood on the corridor outside the room, pursed her lips, and watched pots of blood-stained water coming out of Gongsun Ce's room with a blank expression.

Chen Ruxue and Ding Yuehua were also present. Chen Ruxue said that Gongsun Ce was injured because of the Chen family's affairs, and insisted on coming with Ding Yuehua to confirm that Gongsun Ce was safe before returning to the mansion.Huangfu Nan, Zhan Zhao and others were eager to return home at that time, and they didn't say much.

Huangfu Nan leaned tiredly on the railing of the corridor, remembering that she once sat alone outside the chair in the operating room, looking out into a long corridor, and at the end of the corridor was a door that cut off the outside world.She just sat on the chair, looking at the operating lamp that was on, feeling bewildered.

Life and death always come without warning, and she has no power to fight back.

When the door of the operating room opened, the doctor took off his mask and said, "We did our best, please forgive me."

The bright light that illuminated her life was extinguished, and her world fell into darkness.

There was a faint smell of herbs and blood in her nose, and for a moment, she couldn't tell where she was.Until she heard a "squeak", Zhan Zhao's voice came from the door——

"Gongsun is fine, the doctor said he hasn't taken the medicine yet and won't wake up for the time being."

Huangfu Nan blinked and looked up.

Zhan Zhao was also looking at her, "You've been tired all day, go back and rest first."

Huangfu Nan was startled, then looked at Chen Ruxue and Ding Yuehua who were not far away, "I haven't sent Miss Chen and the others back to the Chen residence yet."

Zhan Zhao: "I will arrange someone to take them back."

Huangfu Nan nodded, turned around and was about to leave.

"Huangfu."

Zhan Zhao's voice suddenly sounded behind her, she turned her head and looked at Zhan Zhao suspiciously.

Zhan Zhao recalled her face when she heard Gongsun Ce's assassination in the forest, although she was trying to stay calm, the hand by her side trembled slightly.He showed her a comforting smile, and said softly, "It's not anyone's fault."

Huangfu Nan's heart warmed slightly when he heard this, "Don't worry, the murderer hasn't been caught yet, so I won't think wildly."

Zhan Zhao looked at the figure going away, and didn't look away for a long time. It wasn't until Ding Yuehua walked over with heavy steps that he came back to his senses.

"Miss Ding, Zhan will immediately arrange for someone to take you back to the Chen residence."

A polite smile appeared on Chen Ruxue's face, and she blessed him, "Master Lao Zhan."

Ding Yuehua was just standing three steps away from him, her pair of bright eyes looked at him quietly, and suddenly asked: "Is it because of her?"

Zhan Zhao was taken aback, but before he could speak, Ding Yuehua turned around and walked towards Chen Ruxue, "Ruxue, let's go."

Zhan Zhao smiled wryly and raised his hand to wipe the layer of sweat on his forehead, it's really hot today!

Knowing that Gongsun Ce was out of danger, Huangfu Nan did not stay in the mansion any longer, she went directly to the hut where Chen Xiangyu stayed.

When the murderer came, not only the two yamen servants were seriously injured by the murdered Gongsun Ce, but also the deaf and half-blind old man was not spared.Huangfu Nan stood quietly outside the house, looking at the environment outside the house, his eyes fell on a forest in front of him.

She frowned slightly, and was about to walk over, when suddenly a voice sounded behind her——

"Zhao Hu said that you had something to go out, so I thought you were here."

Huangfu Nan was stunned for a moment, then turned around, and saw Zhan Zhao standing outside the fence, she immediately looked away, her tone could not hear sorrow or joy, "I want to see if I can find some clues."

Zhan Zhao walked over, "Then what did you find?"

Huangfu Nan shook his head, "I just arrived."

Hearing this, Zhan Zhao raised his sword eyebrows slightly, and walked into the room first, "Then what are you waiting for?"

Huangfu Nan looked at the man in casual clothes, his heart warmed up slightly, the haze between his eyebrows dissipated a lot, and he also walked in.

"The other party is a master. When he came in, the two yamen servants had almost no power to fight back, and they were already killed by him." Zhan Zhao was in the room, looking at the layout of the room and the marks left by the Hangzhou yamen servants.

Huangfu Nan walked to the round table in the room, two chairs showed signs of being moved, one chair was still stained with blood, and under the table was a broken cup, "When the murderer came in, Gongsun should have been sitting there. In this position, after the murderer killed two yamen servants, Gongsun stood up, and was seriously injured by the opponent's sword."

"After the murderer seriously injured Gongsun, he walked up to Chen Xiangyu, pulled her up and took her away. But she was unwilling, and the two of them accidentally knocked over the cup during their entanglement. Chen Xiangyu was knocked unconscious by the murderer and took her away." Zhan Zhao walked to Huangfu Nan's side and looked at the messy footprints in front of another chair. At that time, Gongsun Ce had already bled a lot, so the soles of their shoes were stained with blood, and only one person walked out of the house in the end. footprints.

Huangfu Nan nodded, looked around, and then her eyes fell on the window sill.

Zhan Zhao followed her gaze, "What's wrong?"

"The incense burner is gone." Huangfu Nan said softly.

The lotus incense burner is gone, why?Because that's what the murderer did?

Hearing this, Zhan Zhao walked to the window sill, looked out the window, and happened to see the low forest that Huangfu Nan noticed just now.

"Huangfu, come here."

Huangfu Nan walked over as he said, and stood side by side with Zhan Zhao.

Zhan Zhao looked at the lush trees in front of him, "Chen Xiangyu said that she felt that the murderer was watching him all the time, maybe it was not an illusion. The murderer didn't just sneak into her house at night, maybe he was standing in a place where no one else could see , has been observing Chen Xiangyu."

The two moved to the low jungle, the trees and the weeds in front made the light dim inside, but there was a place on the green grass that was very smooth.Standing at that place, you just happened to have a panoramic view of the small house in front of you. Through the window, you can see almost every move of the people inside.

Huangfu Nan lowered his eyes, his long eyelashes trembling like butterfly wings, "It is very likely that when we came to find Chen Xiangyu that day, he was also here."

Zhan Zhao pushed aside the branches protruding in front of him, let Huangfu Nan go out, and said in a deep voice, "He is also watching us and waiting for the opportunity to act. His thoughts are very careful and he is very patient."

Suddenly, Zhan Zhao felt that he couldn't get enough breath in his heart, which made him almost choke to death.Although when he comforted Huangfu Nan, he would also say that it was not anyone's fault.The fact is also the same, the person who handles the case often comes and goes with swords and guns, but no matter what, he has encountered many cases in Kaifeng Mansion for such a long time, and he has never let anyone around him fall under his nose The bottom is hurt like this.

The doctor said that if the murderer missed another stab, Gongsun Ce would not have been seriously injured but would have died.

Really, damn it...

If Zhang Long, Zhao Hu and the others were standing beside Huang Fu Nan, Zhan Zhao would have been rude.

Huangfu Nan stood in the open space in front, unaware of the ups and downs in Zhan Zhao's heart, pondered for a moment, then turned around and said, "Guard Zhan, let's go back to discuss with my brother-in-law first, I think all the current things are enough for us to judge the murderer. people."
