In the room, flying ash scattered, turned into dust, and fell to the ground.
The burned letter lay lonely on the ground.
Chen Yutian looked slightly condensed, stretched out two fingers, gently held one end of the letter, and picked it up carefully.
Most of the letter has turned into ashes, and from the remaining parts, even the complete words...cannot be seen.
Gongsun frowned slightly.
Judging from the situation in the room, Qin Wuxi should have left secretly after receiving the letter.
And in order not to alarm anyone in the villa, he even burned the letter directly to avoid others knowing.
I think there should be a sign in the letter asking him to go alone.
It's a pity... the letters were burned too many times, and it's no longer possible to confirm whether this inference is right or wrong.
Gongsun sighed lightly.
Chen Yutian's expression became more solemn, and the ominous premonition in his heart intensified the moment he found the letter.
"Inform everyone in the villa to search outside the villa immediately! We must find the senior!"
After hearing this, everyone looked startled! !
"Brother Chen, could it be that you..." Hao Qian hesitated, as he seemed to have guessed something.
Chen Yutian nodded solemnly and said, "Yes, that's exactly what I thought."
Hao Qian's expression suddenly changed.
Wu Linling and others on the side also understood what they were talking about, and they all looked in disbelief.
But they couldn't just ignore this matter. After Chen Yutian finished speaking, everyone left the villa one after another and went outside to search for traces of Qin Wuxi.
Gu Huang even mobilized all the maids in the villa to go out to search.
In an instant, the entire Fengxue Villa was mobilized.
Chen Yutian and Xuan Xi walked together and shouted as they arrived at the cedar forest.
"Senior Qin Wuxi...Senior Qin Wuxi..."
The silent and empty voice echoed endlessly in the cedar forest. The voice was filled with internal energy, which made the snow on the trees fall rustlingly in shock! !
Xuan Xi shouted for a while and looked at Chen Yutian with some confusion, "Yutian, do you really think Qin Wuxi will be here?"
Chen Yutian nodded slightly, "Of course, do you think that with Qin Wuxi's current situation, is there anything that can make him leave secretly without telling everyone?"
"Well..." Xuan Xi thought for a while, his eyes brightened slightly, "What do you mean..."
"That's right!!" Chen Yutian smiled and nodded, "After much thought, I feel that only the truth about the deaths of Lei Wubei and Le Wuhuan could make him do this. So I think the other party's letter to him should contain It just says that if you want to know the truth about their deaths, you have to go to a certain place alone.”
"Since we are telling the truth about the death, I think the other party will find a place related to those two people. After thinking about it, the only one that meets the conditions is the cedar forest where Le Wuhuan died."
"I see." Xuan Xi nodded slightly, and then continued to shout Qin Wuxi's name with his inner strength.
But the two searched for a long time in the cedar forest, but still could not find any trace of Qin Wuxi.
Chen Yutian couldn't help but wonder in his heart, could it be that his inference was wrong? The place the other party agreed with him was not here at all?
However, at this moment, Xuan Xi's expression condensed slightly! !
"who?"
She drank Qing Ran, and the Qingying inner energy in her body burst into flames!
Chen Yutian also frowned slightly, and then his spiritual sense sensed the sound of breaking wind coming from a distance!
As he looked around, he saw a ray of light roaring towards him, tearing the air apart with an astonishing force!
Chen Yutian quickly used his inner strength in his palm, stretched out his hand and grabbed it hard!
The light was immediately caught in the hand, and then the light converged, and a letter was caught in the hand.
Chen Yutian's eyes suddenly flashed with a look of surprise!
Being able to shoot paper items such as letters like flying knives shows the strength of the sender's inner strength. With this kind of skill, I am afraid that he is not a saint, and he is not far from a saint.
After pondering for a moment, he opened the letter in his hand.
On it, there are only three words written.
Soul-breaking Cliff!
Under these three words, there is a map. From the looks of it, it seems to have marked the location of the Soul-Desolating Cliff.
"Soul-breaking cliff?" Chen Yutian murmured, pondering slightly.
Although I don’t know what the intention of the person who sent the letter was, the handwriting of these three words is different from that of a murder notice letter. At least, it is certain that this was not written by Ye Guiren.
"Could it be..." Suddenly, his expression changed drastically, and he pulled Xuan Xi and directly followed the map to the Soul-Desolating Cliff.
After a few breaths, the two arrived at their destination!
Here, they finally found the missing Qin Wuxi!
But... after seeing the scene in front of them, even though the two of them had experienced it many times, their expressions still changed.
"This... this is..." Xuan Xi looked shocked and his pupils shrank.
Chen Yutian's expression slowly darkened.
In front of them, in a large expanse of white snow, a frozen corpse lay lying on its back.
His stagnant expression was calm, as if he didn't care about the coming of death. A huge blood hole penetrated his body, and the snow all over him was dyed red.
Chen Yutian sighed.
Qin Wuxi!
Unexpectedly, he ended up being killed...
…
…
Gongsun touched the body gently and shook his head slightly.
"The corpse was quite frozen, and it is difficult to determine the exact time of death. However, according to the temperature here, it would take at least three hours to freeze like this."
"Three hours? That means he died this afternoon at the latest?" Chen Yutian touched his chin and pondered.
Gongsun nodded.
All around, Wu Linling and others who came after hearing the news looked at the corpse on the ground with complicated expressions.
No one expected that such a thing would happen!
He was still resting in the room at noon, but he was killed in the afternoon. The murderer's movements were a bit too fast!
Lin Dao squinted his eyes and looked around.
Lin Tao also looked around, wondering, "Dad, do you feel like there's something weird here?"
Lin Dao glanced at his son, his expression slightly strange.
When did this kid become so observant?
Lin Tao was right, there was indeed something strange here, and that was footprints.
The deceased died on the deserted snow. It stands to reason that there should be at least the footprints of him and the murderer coming here and the murderer leaving around the deceased.
But around here, there are no footprints left at all.
This could not have happened, but at this moment it was truly happening in front of everyone.
Chen Yutian also discovered this and immediately frowned.
How did the murderer do it?
Thinking about it, his eyes looked around and accidentally landed on the snow beside the snow, which was stained red with blood.
"Huh? This is..."
Chen Yutian's expression changed and he saw a strange trace in the red snow. It looks like the traces left by a long object such as a rope.
"What trace is this? Why is it so strange?"
At this moment, Han Tong, who was doing the autopsy with Gongsun, his expression suddenly changed!
"Huh? Master? Why is his belt open?"
Hearing this, Chen Yutian's eyes flashed slightly. He looked around and found that there were two large and strong trees on both sides not far from the body.
"Loose belt, wait a minute, could it be..."
He seemed to have thought of something and hurriedly ran to one of the big trees and looked at the opposite tree from a distance.
Then, he circled around the trunk of the tree in front of him, as if looking for something.
"If my inference is correct, that thing should be on one of the two trees...ah, found 1"
Chen Yutian's eyes flashed and he stared at a trace on the tree.
"As expected, the loose belt, the traces of the rope sliding across the snow, and this mark... the murderer indeed used that method."
"But why did he go to so much trouble? Couldn't he just kill the deceased directly like before? Why did he have to go to such trouble to carry the body here?"
Chen Yutian stared at the marks on the tree and pondered.
On the trunk of the tree, there was a mark about an inch deep, similar to a mark that had been pierced by a sharp object.
The moment he saw the traces of the rope, Chen Yutian already had a guess in his mind.
Later, the phenomenon that the deceased's belt was unraveled reminded him and further confirmed his suspicion.
It wasn't until he discovered this trace that he finally confirmed his idea.
"It's just that using that method, the normal posture of the corpse should be prone. Why is Qin Wuxi's corpse lying on his back?"
"what on earth is it?"
Chen Yutian frowned again.
At this moment, Gongsun and Han Tong's preliminary examination of the body ended.
The results of the inspection were not satisfactory.
There was no way, the body was too frozen, and just by examining it, we couldn't find many clues. Only by taking it back and thawing it first could we conduct a deeper examination.
So Lin Dao and Hao Qian lifted the body and prepared to take it back.
However, the moment the body was lifted up, the expressions of the people around it who had been paying attention to the body suddenly changed slightly.
"Then...what is that?"
"There seems to be blood writing under the body..."
Upon hearing this, Gongsun quickly asked the two men to carry the body away first.
Chen Yutian, who was under the tree, heard the noise and came over.
Before he reached the place where the body lay on his back, he saw from a distance that there was a piece of completely flattened snow where the body lay on his back.
And above the snow, there were two big bloody characters written on it!
Rain gold! !
"Rain...gold...what does this mean?" Wu Linling read it again, looking confused.
Hao Qian shook his head slightly and smiled bitterly, "I don't know."
"Could it be... the information about the murderer he left behind before he died?" Ling Ruoyin spoke with a speculative tone, looking at the two words on the snow.
Everyone present in the Jiulong Mansion looked slightly solemn.
A death message...but what does this mean?
…
…
"Yu Jin... what do these two words mean?"
Back at the villa, Chen Yutian picked up a pen and wrote these two words on the paper, narrowing his eyes slightly.
On the side, Xuan Xi looked at it and said with some confusion: "I don't know, but is that really the death message left by Qin Wuxi? It looks like a code."
Chen Yutian nodded slightly, "It should be a code, but I don't know what these two words mean?"
"Could it be the murderer's name?"
"Maybe." Chen Yutian hesitated for a moment and nodded. Without clearly revealing the code, it was difficult for him to be sure whether it contained the name of the murderer.
However, the only thing that is certain is that these two words must be related to the murderer! !
"Now we can only wait for Gongsun's autopsy results. There are too few clues at the scene, and the murderer did not leave any clues to expose himself. Alas..."
Chen Yutian sighed slightly.
Xuan Xi also smiled slightly.
"But... maybe we can go to his room and try our luck again."
"oh?"
"I think since he left in such a hurry and didn't even have time to wait for the results of the letters in the room that needed to be destroyed, there might be some clues left in his room."
Looking at Chen Yutian's eyes, Xuan Xi's pretty face turned slightly red and she said weakly.
After hearing this, Chen Yutian's eyes suddenly flashed with a bright light! !
"Yeah, why did I forget there was that place!" He slapped his thigh and stood up directly.
Xuan Xi was immediately startled by him.
"Great, Xi'er, thanks to your reminder, I almost forgot that this most critical place has not been investigated!!" With that, he took Xuan Xi's little hand and went directly to Qin Wuxi's room.
The furnishings in the room are still the same, with no changes compared to before.
Chen Yutian looked around, scanning every corner of the room.
Xuan Xi looked at him, but Chen Yutian's extremely excited words of praise echoed in his mind from time to time.
"He finally praised me! That's great!!"
Xuan Xi's face burst into an extremely happy smile, and his whole person suddenly felt bright.
Chen Yutian accidentally glanced at her and became distracted for a moment!
For some reason, he always felt that the girl in front of him was more beautiful than before.
"Could it be that beauty is in the eye of the beholder?" Chen Yutian came back to his senses, glanced at the girl slightly, and said to himself.
"Oh...it's time to think about these things now..." Chen Yutian shook his head, shook off the distracting thoughts in his mind, and scanned around the room wholeheartedly, looking for clues.
Suddenly, his eyes stopped on the bed.
Except for a few wardrobes directly opposite the door, this is the only place where things can be hidden.
Chen Yutian came to the bed, reached out and opened the quilt, his eyes flashed slightly.
Under the quilt, a golden invitation was quietly placed there.
It was an invitation to attend this gathering at Snow Wind Villa.
Chen Yutian picked up the invitation, opened it, and his expression suddenly changed again! !
"As expected... It seems that the murderer's target this time should be the three of them, and it seems that they are all related to this person..."
He narrowed his eyes and looked solemnly, staring at the place on the invitation where the host's name was written.
There, a familiar name was clearly written:
Feng Wuhuo! !
