After nightfall, Zhan Zhaohe Chao Mahan and others went to watch the people on the list.

Huangfu Nan stood in front of the blackboard, looking thoughtfully at the portraits of the deceased.

"What are you thinking about?" Gongsun Ce walked to her side, and thanks to Huangfu Nan, the room that could only use candles in the past was now as bright as day, because it was the first time Huangfu Nan went to Kaifeng Mansion for business at night , she was very resentful about the darkness of the room, and then she did not know where she took out a night pearl and put it in the room.

Huangfu Nan didn't turn her head back, her hands were behind her back, her head was slightly raised, and the aqua-green headband of that bundle of hair was hanging down behind her.

"I was wondering whether these people deserved more than their death."

Gongsun Ce: "Regardless of whether there is a surviving death or not, this is their life."

Hearing this, Huangfu Nan smiled slightly, turned around and stood opposite Gongsun Ce, "Gongsun, let's go to the Yuelai Inn." She has never seen the crime scene yet.

Gongsun Ce nodded slightly, "That's exactly what I meant. I went there during the day and analyzed the location, but there is always a difference between day and night. The so-called one person counts the short and the other two count the long, maybe there is something wrong , which I overlooked."

When Gongsun Ce and Huangfu Nan went to Yuelai Inn, they didn't bring any servants with them.When Huangfu Nan went out, she picked up the bow and arrow she left at the door. Although she didn't think there was any danger, it was better to be prepared.

Gongsun Ce glanced at the bow and arrow she held in her hand, and said casually, "It's a good bow, Zhanwei really has a heart."

Huangfu Nan nodded, and said calmly: "He has a heart for everyone. When you were stabbed a big hole in Hangzhou, he blamed himself very much."

Gongsun Ce: "..."

Huangfu Nan: "Speaking of which, Ni Lin of Zhan Huwei can be counted on one finger, and Kaifeng Mansion is one of them."

Gongsun Ce: "..."

He turned his head, looked at Huangfu Nan with a strange expression, and really wanted to ask her if she really didn't see his intention?But when the words came to his lips, he swallowed them back abruptly.Talking is the most taboo, if you want to talk or not, you can't mention the feeling of suffocation, but Gongsun Ce just suffocates.Whether as a friend or a colleague, Gongsun Ce thinks he knows Huangfu Nan well.

Master Bao would joke a few words in his spare time, saying that Zhan Zhao still has a long way to go, and Huangfu seems to be born not good at love words.

However, Gongsun Ce felt that Huangfu Nan might not be out of touch, but that he could see too clearly.There are thousands of tender feelings in the world, and the love between men and women is just one of them. Some people will live forever if they are deep in love, so it can be seen that the word love hurts people.Since he got to know Huangfu Nan, he has talked with her about all kinds of things, but every time he inadvertently mentioned those romances, she always had a slight smile on her lips, and that slight smile did not contain any irony Meaning, but there is no yearning in the eyes, it seems to be watching you roll in the soft red silk, while she is alone.

Gongsun Ce felt that at such a time, it was enough for him to know what Zhan Zhao was thinking. If he made it clear that he might even scare Huangfu Nan back, then he would be guilty of a serious crime.

Seeing that Gongsun Ce didn't respond, Huangfu Nan, who was carrying the quiver on his back, glanced back at him, "Aren't you leaving?"

Gongsun Ce suddenly came back to his senses, "Go, of course!"

The moon is dark and the wind is high, the best time to do bad things.

When Huangfu Nan and Gongsun Ce arrived at the scene of the murder at the Yuelai Inn, that was the only feeling they had.It was probably because of the murder, so there was no one in the entire Yuelai Inn. Huangfu Nan and Gongsun Ce were walking in the corridor. A gust of wind blew by, and the light of the oil lamps in the corridor flickered, causing a ghostly look. a feeling of.

Huangfu Nan stood on the corridor, looking at the wall ahead.

Gongsun Ce said: "The room next to the wall is where Mr. Feng died."

There is a high wall, a row of flowers and plants are planted under the wall, and the room is more than ten feet away from the wall.Huangfu Nan walked over slowly, pushed the door open and entered, the things in the room were ordered to remain as they were, so the messy bed was covered with bloodstains.

She looked at the messy quilt, her eyebrows slightly raised.

Gongsun Ce came over and asked, "What's the matter?"

Huangfu Nan turned his head, looked at Gongsun Ce with a strange expression, and said, "I suddenly thought, why didn't these dead people call for help even though they were not tortured? Whether they were strangled, suffocated or stabbed to death, they Did they all fall asleep to death at the same time?"

Although this case was handed over to the Kaifeng government, they were not present at the crime scene of the previous deceased, and I don't know how the people present at the time analyzed it?Is it because these people are high-ranking officials that some important things are hidden in order to take into account their reputation.

Gongsun Ce was taken aback.

Huangfu Nan frowned, and after thinking twice, he considered his words, and said to Gongsun Ce: "Do you think they died before...well, is there that..."

Gongsun Ce's eyes fell on the blood-stained bed, and he felt that it seemed inappropriate to discuss this issue with Huangfu Nan, but after thinking about it, it was all for solving the case, not to mention how many messy books Bao Xing searched for Huangfu Nan See, there is something that cannot be discussed with her.

Thinking about it this way, Gongsun Ce, who was still a bit reluctant to let go, suddenly felt relieved. He walked over and said, "There should be."

Huangfu Nan stretched out his hand, as if he wanted to touch the quilts, but his hand stopped in the air, his face was struggling, and finally he retracted his hand, and the retracted hand stroked the other hand. Bow and arrow, said: "Have you checked the incense in the room?"

Gongsun Ce nodded, "Incense is just for fun, it has no effect on calming the mind and falling asleep."

Huangfu Nan: "After people are extremely excited, they will be more tired than usual, but you also said that incense is only for fun and has no effect on calming the nerves, but why did those dead all sleep to death by coincidence?"

Gongsun Ce looked at Huangfu Nan, "Do you suspect that they were drugged?"

Huangfu Nan nodded.

Gongsun Ce shook his head, "Although the few dead can't be said to be able to call the wind and rain in the court, they still have a place. The heart of defense is much stronger than you and I. It is not easy to prescribe medicine to them."

Huangfu Nan blinked, and asked cautiously: "But if the murderer hides medicine in his body, how can these lustful guys guard against it?"

When Gongsun Ce heard Huangfu Nan's words, he accidentally lost his breath, and coughed for a while, the cough was heart-piercing.

Seeing this, Huangfu Nan tapped his index finger on his lips, with an innocent expression on his face.She swears, she really didn't mean it.

Gongsun Ce managed to breathe a sigh of relief, supported the bedpost beside him with one hand, and said with a wry smile: "Huangfu, can you prepare me a little next time?"

She speaks out like this every time, has she considered their feelings? !

Huangfu Nan pouted, but did not speak.

Gongsun Ce raised his forehead and couldn't help muttering: "Perhaps it's time for the adults to take care of Bao Xing. He has scanned some books and came back to show you."

Huangfu Nan didn't hear clearly for a while, and frowned, "What did you say?"

Gongsun Ce sighed, and said weakly: "I didn't say anything, I said what you just said is indeed possible."

Huangfu Nan nodded and continued to speculate: "If I were the murderer, after I succeeded, I would get up and kill the man who was sleeping on the bed. There was no murder weapon at the scene, which means he took the knife away. You see Some of the bloodstains on the bed were spray marks, which means that after he stabbed down, he pulled out the knife." Huangfu Nan stood in front of the bed, gesticulating, "The murderer should be standing in this position, there is no one on the ground. The dripping blood, he stood here and wiped the blood off the knife, and you said that a white handkerchief was left at the scene, which should be used by him to wipe the knife.”

Gongsun Ce nodded, "The fabric of the handkerchief is a bit special, I have asked someone to find out where the handkerchief came from."

Huangfu Nan turned around and analyzed as she walked, "After I kill someone, because of my poor martial arts skills, I will be worried that my deeds will be exposed, and after I sort it out, I will leave as if nothing had happened." She stepped out of the door and looked towards the corridor , "It was dead of night at that time, if I walked out swaggeringly, I would definitely attract the attention of the waiter at the door, so I would choose to jump over the wall and leave."

As she spoke, she walked to the wall, frowning slightly.

Gongsun Ce walked up to her and asked, "And then?"

"Then..." she murmured, looking around, she heard from Zhan Zhao that martial arts practitioners, no matter how good their lightness kung fu is, need to have some strength.The wall is so high that it is probably impossible to jump over it.

Huangfu Nan was trying to find out where the murderer would choose to use his strength, or whether it would leave traces when he borrowed his strength.

Suddenly, there was a slight sound, as if someone had accidentally stepped on a dead branch that fell on the ground.

"Who?!" Huangfu Nan instantly raised the bow and arrow in his hand, aiming the sword in the bow forward.

Gongsun Ce's expression changed, and he turned around to look over, only to see a tall and thin figure standing there in the shadows ahead.

"I don't want to hurt you, come out." Huangfu Nan kicked Gongsun Ce distractedly while talking.This yard is far away from the front, and the shopkeeper probably can't hear it even if he shouts his throat.

Gongsun Ce frowned slightly, of course he understood what Huangfu Nan meant, but did she really think that her archery skills were good enough to compare with these people?

Huangfu Nan aimed at the other party with a bow and arrow, "I'll say it again, come out. Don't make me say it a third time." As she spoke, she kicked Gongsun Ce's calf hard this time without being polite.

Gongsun Ce knew that if he didn't leave at this time, if the opponent was very skilled, it would be a cinch for him to stay.While Huangfu Nan was able to contain the opponent, he still rushed to rescue the soldiers.So he turned around and ran, calling for someone to come while running.

Seeing this, the other party let out a cold snort, and his body rose into the air, Huangfu Nan narrowed his eyes slightly, loosened the full bow in his hand, and the arrow in the bow flew out, the person in mid-air snorted, and went straight to down.

Just as Huangfu Nan was about to pass by, she suddenly felt a gust of knife wind behind her. Before she could react, a knife hit her neck. She let out a muffled groan and lost consciousness all at once.
