I'm a detective for Dongchang

Chapter 143
Lu Xizhi stared at the three plaques in his hand, they looked a bit old, definitely not new.

East!It's the East Palace again.

It was exactly the same as what was found at the scene of Jia Dafu's death. It seems that the people behind the scene also suspected that Lu Jinzhi and Jia Yun hid in the woods.

"How many are they here?"

"I don't know for now. We searched for Miss Lu separately, so I only saw three corpses."

Lu Xizhi continued to ask: "The people sent to hunt down and kill Lu Jinzhi should not be weak in martial arts. Who was so powerful and killed three of them at once?"

"They all died of arrow wounds. Two of them were hit by the arrow on the chest and one on the neck. Both were fatal with one arrow. The shots were very clean and neat. Apart from the fatal wound, there was no second wound on their body. It's what an expert does."

After listening to Xing Yun's narration, Lu Xizhi fell into deep thought. Not only were they looking for Lu Jinzhi and Jia Yun, but also the assassin sent behind the scenes to chase after him, and now another murderer came out to kill the killer... What is the purpose of this murderer? ?
When Donghai and the others came back, Beixue and Xingyun had already packed up the battlefield, and the snake corpses all over the ground had disappeared. Except for the charred branches and soil, it could not be seen that they had experienced a fierce battle.

"How is it?" Lu Xizhi asked.

Dong Hai shook his head, and replied dejectedly: "I don't know what kind of demon method the thief used. We chased him around in circles. Fortunately, there was a brother who knew a little about strange things, so he came out."

In fact, Lu Xizhi didn't hold out much hope, since that person can play around with so many of them, he is naturally not afraid of being chased.

"Before Xingyun found three dead people on one of the roads, and they had this token on them." Lu Xizhi handed it to Donghai, "Did you find anything there?"

Dong Hai took the sign in surprise, asked several other people, and shook their heads in unison.

I really didn't expect it to be so unfavorable to start a teacher. I looked up at the night, and it was getting late.

"Donghai, Beixue, we won't be able to get out here for a while, the other party must have ambushed, let the brothers rest on the spot, and make plans tomorrow morning."

"But he, the factory supervisor, must be very anxious." Donghai hesitated. With the abilities of him, Beixue, and the other brothers, it would not be difficult to rush out together, it just took more time.

"If I give up now, Lu Jinzhi and Jia Yun won't be able to hide for too long, they will definitely be caught and killed, and my father's case can't stand any further delays, Yuan Factory Superintendent will understand."

Donghai and Beixue looked at each other, then nodded in agreement.

They found an abandoned courtyard sheltered from the wind and cleared enough space. Lu Xizhi counted the number of people, including herself, there were [-] people in total. She divided the people into three groups, one group was ready to eat, and the other group was ten meters away from the courtyard. Take precautionary measures around the place, and another group of people is responsible for patrolling.

She wanted to participate, but Donghai dared to agree, just let her rest by the side, and let them do the rough work.

He couldn't resist him, so he sat under the tree and stared at the fire in a daze.

The mastermind behind the scenes (Prince? Mysterious Young Master Yu?)—killing Lily——killing Jia’s family—killing Wei Qianzhou—chasing and killing Lu Jinzhi, Jia Yun—the killer was killed instead (protecting Lu and Jia) Or something else.)
If it was done by the prince, he shouldn't be so careless. If he was found out to frame Zhongliang, he would lose his status. Therefore, he is unlikely to shoot himself in the foot.

And if you succeed in framing the crown prince, the only ones who can reap the benefits are the remaining King Xuan, King Rui, and the newly appointed King Jing, so...among the three...

It seems that after going back, he should ask Yuan Yanxi carefully to learn about the royal family.

As for Mr. Yu, it might be a pseudonym, and it would be a bit difficult to find out. If the reasoning is true, the student Yu Li's customs clearance documents are a coincidence, and his suspicion can be ruled out.

"Miss Lu, let's eat something first." Bei Xue came over and called her.

As soon as the words fell, Lu Xizhi woke up suddenly, and a strong smell of barbecue came to his nostrils, and the whole air was filled with the pure smell of meat.

"Well, it smells so good."

After receiving the meat that Bei Xue handed over, she realized that she was already hungry.

While chewing, he asked, "What kind of meat is so fragrant?"

Dong Hai said bluntly: "Use local materials, don't waste those snake meat."

what? !

"Ugh..." Lu Xizhi stood up abruptly, covered his mouth and ran behind the tree to vomit.

Bei Xue glared at Dong Hai, picked up the water bag and the hot sweet potatoes and walked over.

Dong Hai innocently swallowed a mouthful of barbecue, why did he still vomit?These snakes are very plump and fragrant.

Lu Xizhi behind the tree vomited upside down, this time it was good, she even vomited up all the food she ate in the morning, leaning against the tree weakly, the nausea just now was an instinctive reaction of her body, she couldn't suppress it live.

"Miss Lu, here are roasted sweet potatoes, and there are some dry biscuits in the package, you can make do with it."

"Thank you." Lu Xizhi accepted it gratefully.

Suddenly, there seemed to be some abnormal noise in the dark, her adrenaline burst out instantly, a rush of blood rushed to her head, and her feet naturally took a step back.

Bei Xue also noticed something strange, and pulled Lu Xizhi back to the campfire, and everyone immediately became alert.

Lu Xizhi didn't dare to vent his anger, his eyes were fixed on the bush behind the tree.

"Who?" Dong Hai rushed to the bush with lightning speed, and stabbed with his sword.

He frowned, and took a look at the sword, only to see a piece of red cloth hanging on the sword. Dong Hai immediately chased forward, but in the blink of an eye, the opponent disappeared. He was worried that this was the opponent's distraction, so he did not rush to continue the pursuit. Go back to the yard with the rag.

"It's the red dress again." Xing Yun muttered.

But at this time, Lu Xizhi raised his voice, "Okay, okay, these are all tricks to scare people, it's fine to scare children, but this girl is not afraid of these, come on, let's continue eating, we are exhausted after a long day of driving, Get a good night's sleep after eating."

The rest of the people were all well-trained go-getters. They understood her intentions instantly and sat down on the ground one after another, as if nothing had happened, and continued to eat and drink what they should eat and drink, and chatted about what they had and what they didn't, and made a lot of noise.

Lu Xizhi didn't show any signs, and whispered to Beixue: "Tell everyone, be careful tonight, it seems that she can use mystical skills, especially when she takes turns to guard, don't let anyone take advantage of her loopholes."

After they all received the order, Lu Xizhi looked at the time and it was about the same.

"Thanks for your hard work, everyone. Let's look for it tomorrow." Then he walked to the corner first, lay down on the meadow-covered ground, and fell asleep leaning against the wall.

Donghai asked the others to clean up and find a good place to rest, while he pretended to take a rest and went to the back of the yard.

Two quarters of an hour later, the whole yard was quiet, only the sound of sparks from the bonfire remained.

In the mountains in the middle of the night, the cold air is threatening, and the cold wind whistles with the rustling of leaves, like a monster in the dark night; under the pale moonlight, the bushes are like graves, terrifying.

Suddenly there was the sound of dead branches breaking in the backyard, crackling, weird and slow.

Lu Xizhi opened his eyes violently:
coming!

　later two more
