Yun Qixi's brows instantly wrinkled.

Yun Zhi and Yan Yu's brows immediately knitted together.

"Say it again!" Yunzhi stepped forward, grabbed the collar of the disciple who reported the message, and asked, "What happened to Xiaofeng and Xiaolong?"

"Both of them...died in the Sutra Pavilion last night!" The reporting disciple said nervously again.

"Master!" Yun Zhi heard this and quickly turned back to look at Yun Qixi.

Yun Qixi gathered up his clothes, gathered up his long hair, and said calmly and expressionlessly: "Lead the way, Yun Zhi and Yan Yu, you two will come with me to have a look, the others will continue to practice, don't delay their practice."

Yanyu Hall was originally in a mess, but after hearing what Yun Qixi said, everyone became quiet again.

Everyone looked at this matter with surprise, except Qianqiu whose mood was extremely complicated.

Last night, he and Yang Xian went to visit Yanyu Hall at night. Unexpectedly, a murder case happened there today.

"When did these two people die?" The biggest doubt in Qianqiu's heart suddenly arose, "If they died before we went there, it stands to reason that we would have been searching there for so long, but there should have been clues, but we didn't find anything. Presumably He should have died after we went there, that would be terrible.”

Qianqiu didn't dare to think about how many people went to the Sutra Pavilion last night, or how many pairs of eyes were hidden to watch them while they were there.

[Oriental School·Tibetan Scripture Pavilion]

The two corpses had been wrapped in straw mats and placed in the open space in front of the gate of the Sutra Pavilion.

Standing around were Lian Bo, several other masters, and a group of Eastern disciples, and everyone was discussing.

Yun Zhi and Yan Yu followed Yun Qixi and walked quickly, arriving in front of the Sutra Pavilion in a short time.

"Junior sister Yun, you are finally here, come and take a look." Lian Bo came over and said immediately when he saw Yun Qixi approaching.

Yun Qixi nodded, walked closer, knelt down, and gently opened the straw mat.

A pale corpse appeared in front of him.

"I've done an autopsy. It turns out that Xiaofeng was injured around midnight last night. He died from a water spell and was hit between the eyebrows by a water knife, killing him with one blow." Mo Xiao stepped forward and said to Yun Qixi.

"Senior Sister Mo, what's going on with Xiaolong?" Yun Qixi opened another straw mat, looked at it, and then asked.

Mo Xiao said solemnly: "When we arrived, Xiaolong died next to Xiaofeng, but there is one difference, which is also extremely important."

Yun Qixi pointed to the burn scars on Xiaolong's neck and said, "Xiaolong died from the fire spell."

"Yeah." The wrinkles on Mo Xiao's face were all squeezed together, and he sighed and answered in one word.

"Early this morning, when the cleaning disciples were cleaning the second floor, they found the bodies of two people, one lying on the left and the other on the right. It looked like they had been knocked to the ground for a short time and there was no fierce fight." Mo Xiao continued.

"Is the Tibetan Scripture Pavilion the first scene?" Yun Qixi continued to ask.

"Well, there is some clutter around the body. It looks like the first scene."

"In other words, maybe he was killed elsewhere and brought to the Sutra Pavilion?" Yun Qixi asked.

At this time, Duan Jue stepped forward and said: "Junior Sister Yun, Junior Sister Mo Xiao and I have checked. Based on the current situation on the second floor, it can basically be determined that this is the first scene."

Yun Qixi was shocked, as Qianqiu's voice and smile appeared in her mind, and she also knew what Duan Jue meant.

"Wang Yue, please talk to Master Yun." Mo Xiao called a female disciple standing aside.

Yun Qixi turned around, two rays of light emitted from his eyes, he looked straight at Wang Yue and asked: "Wang Yue, let me ask you, when did you see Xiaofeng and Xiaolong?"

"This morning at nine o'clock." Wang Yue thought for a moment and then replied.

"Can you tell me more about the locations of their bodies?" Yun Qixi asked.

Wang Yue looked back at Lian Bo.

Lian Bo nodded and said: "This matter is of great importance. Wang Yue, you are the first one to discover it, so take us to see the scene again."

"Yes, master." Wang Yue said obediently.

So, Wang Yue brought everyone back into the Sutra Pavilion, came to the iron door leading to the third floor, and said to everyone: "Masters and brothers, this is how Xiaofeng and Xiaolong were lying on the ground in the morning. .”

Afterwards, Wang Yue briefly demonstrated the positions of the two of them.

"This position can only accommodate one person. Could it be that Xiaofeng and Xiaolong were hit by the same person at the same time?" Duan Jue said.

"Brother, is this impossible? They died from two different spells." Mo Xiao said.

"How is it impossible? It's not like there are no such people in the Eastern Sect." Duan Jue glanced at Yun Qixi intentionally or unintentionally.

Yun Qixi ignored him, rolled up her sleeves, scratched the ground with her fingers, and found a few golden hairs.

At this time, Mo Xiao said again: "Brother, look, there is blood on the door handle."

Lian Bo and several masters walked over, took a closer look, and said, "Junior Sister Mo, can you find out who the blood stains belong to?"

"Yes, but it will take some time." Mo Xiao said.

Mo Xiao is the master of the Fire Control Hall, and he is also one of the more skilled oriental medical practitioners.

Yun Qixi looked around and searched everywhere.

While everyone was searching, Duan Jue said: "Junior sister Mo, can we rule out that it was the person on the third floor who did it?"

"It can be ruled out that there are no traces of demonic energy or demonic power damage on the second floor, and the two disciples do have traces of the Five Elements spell on their bodies," Mo Xiao said.

"Then what else is there to find? The real culprit is already obvious." Duan Jue said bluntly.

Everyone looked at Yun Qixi.

At this moment, Yun Zhi stood up and said: "Master Duan, it would be too hasty to identify the murderer like this. It is also possible that two people committed the crime together and killed two female disciples at the same time."

"Hmph!" Duan Jue snorted coldly and said, "When will it be your junior's turn to speak out?"

When Yun Zhi heard it, he could only lower his head.

At this time, Feng Sanyi came out and said: "Yunzhi, you don't have to worry. First of all, I have personally checked the top and bottom of the Tibetan Scripture Pavilion. There are indeed some footprints left on the second floor windows. I have also sent people I copied the shoe prints left behind. If it is my disciple, I can find the person who climbed through the window based on the shoe prints. Secondly, if what Wang Yue said is true, I compared the distance and found that the two of them were killed with one move. The distance is relatively narrow, so it may be two people doing it together, or it may be one person doing it.”

"If it was done by one person, wouldn't it be Qianqiu from Yanyu Hall who knows both kinds of magic?" Liuli, who was standing in the crowd, shouted at this time.

"Junior brother, there is no need to make random suspicions until there is conclusive evidence." Yanyu stood up and said.

At this time, Yun Qixi came over and said: "There are many doubts about this case. If it was done by one of my disciples, I will never let it go. But until the truth is revealed, my disciples of Yanyu Hall will not have their turn either." Let the other Five Elements Halls come and judge. Senior Sister Mo, I need your help to check the body again."

After Yun Qixi finished speaking, she glanced at Liuli and walked downstairs.

Liuli saw the murderous intent in Yun Qixi's eyes and quickly retreated.

Mo Xiao followed Yun Qixi downstairs and re-examined the bodies of Xiaofeng and Xiaolong.

Yun Qixi first carefully examined the wounds on Xiaofeng's body and confirmed that the death was indeed caused by water magic. But something unusual was discovered in Xiaolong's body.

"How come the flesh at this wound is so burnt black?" Yun Qixi probed the wound on Xiaolong's neck, "The upper half of the wound is burnt black, but the lower half of the wound is much more delicate."

Yun Qixi fell into deep thought and felt that this matter was by no means that simple.

Afterwards, Yun Qixi and Mo Xiao checked for more than an hour and recorded the relevant status before settling the matter.

At this moment, Yun Zhi and Yan Yu hurried over and said, "Master, senior brother and the others are looking for the owner of the shoe print on the window sill!"

Yun Qixi stood up slowly, glanced at Mo Xiao beside him, and said to the two of them: "This is what we should do. You two inform everyone and cooperate fully."

Yun Zhi was about to say something, but was glared at by Yan Yu.

Yun Zhixin understood and knew that there were others around him, so he shouldn't say it at this time.

After Yun Zhi and Yan Yu left, Mo Xiao said to Yun Qixi: "Junior Sister Yun, I don't want to be the mastermind of Qianqiu Xia of Yanyu Hall, but over the years, the world has become more and more unstable, and even our Dongfang Mountain Murder cases have also occurred one after another, so our sect must have been targeted by others, so you should be more careful."

"That's natural. Thank you, senior sister, for reminding me." Yun Qixi gave Mo Xiao a gift and sent Mo Xiao away.

Yun Qixi glanced at the two corpses on the ground again, sighed heavily, and said in her heart: "It must not be you!"

As soon as Yunzhi and Yanyu returned to Yanyu Hall, they immediately called Qianqiu out.

Before Qianqiu could react, he was caught by Yun Zhi.

His clothes were ripped open by the furious Yunzhi.

"Qianqiu! Who are you? Why do all kinds of troubles come one after another when you come to our Oriental Sect Yanyu Hall?" Yunzhi asked.

Qianqiu looked confused when asked, and asked cautiously: "Senior sister, what happened?"

Yun Zhi turned his head away angrily.

Yanyu answered: "Do you know Xiaolong and Xiaofeng?"

"We know each other. The two twin sisters entered the school a year before me." Qianqiu replied.

Yanyu carefully looked at Qianqiu's face and eyes, but couldn't see any clues, and said: "They were killed in the Sutra Pavilion last night. They should have died from two Five Elements spells at the same time."

"What does that have to do with me? Can't this be two against two?" Qianqiu asked hurriedly.

"Based on your position and the fighting scene, it is likely that the person who performed these two different techniques is the same person. In the entire sect, you are the only one who has this condition, and your cultivation level is higher than the two of them."

"This..." Upon hearing this, Qianqiu found that he was indeed very suspicious.

At this time, Yun Zhi stepped forward and said: "Master has tried his best to help you deal with it and try to find out the truth as soon as possible. Qianqiu, senior sister asked you, did you do it?"

"It's unfair, senior sister. I have no grievances with the two young senior sisters. Why do I want to kill them? And why did I go all the way to the Sutra Pavilion to kill them?" Qianqiu explained.

Upon hearing this, Yunzhi and Yanyu stopped talking and began to think.

At this time, Qianqiu's mind was also spinning rapidly: "Could it be Buyu? But last night, the three of us entered the Sutra Pavilion at about the same time, so it shouldn't be her. It seems that the murderer is someone else!"
