Chapter 421 The murderer appears
Manager Zhou and others wanted to persuade her again, but Madam Xu now showed the aura of the mistress of the house and had people prepare the carriage. Seeing that she had made up her mind, some people hurried to the teahouse opposite to report the news.

Before, Tan Mazi had brought a group of people to look for Xu Erlang, but this time it was Dr. Tea who personally brought the rest of the people to protect Madam Xu.

The group of people rushed towards Yicui Tower in a mighty manner.

Gu Qingyi also planned to go over to watch the fun, so that she could question Mr. Xu after redeeming him.

However, Malu stopped her again and said, "Wait."

"what happened?"

"Something is not right. We just found out that Deputy Sect Leader Xu has a hidden illness and needs to take medicine. As a result, the most suspected person, Master Xu, was captured by the Beggars' Sect, and Madam Xu was forced to come and apologize."

Gu Qingyi's expression changed. "Could it be that the murderer is really Madam Xu, and she wants to take this opportunity to escape?"

Ma Lu shook his head. "No, after the death of Deputy Sect Master Xu, she became the focus of Tianlong Sect's protection. Didn't you see how many experts Tianlong Sect had arranged outside Xu's residence? Wherever she went, those experts followed her. Even if she left Xu's residence, it would be difficult for her to escape."

At this point, Ma Lu was suddenly stunned, and then murmured, "Master Tan took a lot of people with him when he went to look for Master Xu, and now the remaining people have also gone with Madam Xu, which means..."

"The other party's target is actually the Xu Mansion?" Gu Qingyi continued to reason based on Ma Lu's thoughts.

"But Deputy Sect Leader Xu is already dead. What else is there in the Xu Mansion that is worth coveting? Could it be that the Beggars' Sect's Lotus Bowl is hidden here?"

Gu Qingyi gave full play to his imagination.

But Malu said, "No, that's not right... They are not targeting something in the Xu Mansion. The reason they transferred the guards outside is because someone is afraid of escaping. He knows that if we get in touch with Master Xu, his story will not be able to continue."

"Who is that person you are talking about?" Gu Qingyi asked curiously.

"I'm not completely sure yet, but I know there is a way to make him reveal his true form." Malu said, touching his nose.

"Let's go, let's follow Madam Xu."

"Follow Madam Xu? But didn't you say the murderer is still in the Xu Mansion?"

"Yes, but he won't let down his guard until we leave. We can follow Madam Xu first and then sneak back."

Millipede looked up at the sky. The sun had already set. In a short while, the sky would probably be completely dark. The cover of night was perfect for some evil-minded guys to act.

This also indirectly confirmed Malu's previous guess that the timing of the beggar's appearance was obviously carefully chosen.

However, when it got dark, it was also convenient for him and Gu Qingyi to paralyze the murderer. The two pretended to follow Madam Xu, but after walking for a while, they made a circle and came back.

Then they found a big tree next to Xu's mansion, and Malu and Gu Qingyi used their lightness skills to climb up.

After waiting for less than a quarter of an hour, the door of Xu's mansion was opened again. Manager Zhou stuck his head out and looked around furtively.

Then he rushed out from behind the door carrying a cloth bag, took a step forward, and ran into the night.

Gu Qingyi looked at Malu beside him and asked in a low voice, "Chase?"

Malu hesitated and said, "Wait a little longer."

"The person is about to run away, what are you still waiting for?" Gu Qing was a little anxious.

Malu had previously said that the murderer was hiding in Xu's mansion, and she was a little skeptical. But now that the murderer has really shown up, Malu remains indifferent and watches him disappear into the night.

"If you want to chase him, you can go ahead." Malu thought about it. He really couldn't guarantee that Manager Zhou was not the murderer or accomplice.

It just so happened that he and Gu Qingyi had two people, so they could split up into two groups. "What about you?" Gu Qingyi asked.

"I'll wait a moment." Millipede said, then bent down and tried his best to hide his body behind the tree canopy.

So Gu Qingyi no longer hesitated, stepped on his left foot, flipped over from the tree, and chased after Manager Zhou.

After she left, Malu held his breath and continued to wait patiently.

He was not in a hurry. The one who should be anxious at this moment was the one in the mansion, because although he had sent away all the people from the Tianlong Sect outside the Xu Mansion, he also deceived Gu Qingyi.

But the time will definitely not be too long. Once either party finds out that they have been deceived and abducted, they will not be able to escape.

So he must hurry up.

Malu's guess was correct. Less than half an incense stick of time had passed before another black shadow climbed over the wall from Xu's mansion.

He was wearing a nightgown and had covered his face with a black cloth, leaving only a pair of big, bright eyes visible.

He was quite agile and landed silently. After he got out of the courtyard wall, he didn't look around and just kept running.

His lightness skill is surprisingly quite good. Even if it is not the best, it is definitely not comparable to that of ordinary people in the martial arts world.

He was as fast as a rabbit and could run several meters away in the blink of an eye, but unfortunately he met his opponent today.

The Xianyun Zhuyue Gong that Malu obtained from the late Deputy Sect Master Xu is one of the most outstanding light skills in the world. Moreover, Deputy Sect Master Xu has practiced this light skill to the state of great perfection.

The millipede was already at its full level when he picked it up, so he didn't have to put in any effort at all. He floated down from the tree and gently covered the black shadow like a cloud.

The latter also realized that he was being followed, so he quickly quickened his pace and used his Qinggong to the extreme. However, no matter how fast he ran, he could not get rid of the pursuers behind him.

That man was like a full moon, always hanging high above his head, leaving him nowhere to hide.

Finally, realizing that he couldn't outrun the other person, he had to stop and cried out.

"Master Ma, what do you want in exchange for letting me go?"

"Miss Caidie... why did you want to kill Deputy Sect Leader Xu?"

Caidie did not answer, but asked, "Why do you say that I am the murderer of Deputy Sect Master Xu?"

"Because after Detective Gu noticed the medicine, you panicked and threw in Master Xu to attract everyone's attention, but this also made you a suspect."

Ma Lu explained calmly, "According to your explanation, there were actually three people who had access to the medicine. In addition to Madam Xu and Master Xu, you who had been picking vegetables at the back door could have easily slipped into the kitchen when Madam Xu was not around.

"Of course, you should also be aware of this, so you deliberately tempted me so that I would not doubt you."

"But what I'm doing seems to have the opposite effect. Do you think I'm unattractive, Mr. Ma?" Caidie said, biting her lip.

"really."

There is never a lack of beauties in Malu's life, whether he is out shopping for food or in the original universe, Pochi, his witch team, Zhen Ye, An Qi, He Xiaoqian, the wandering warlock...

They are all very beautiful and have their own characteristics, so Malu has no interest in little girls like Caidie who are obviously not fully grown.

But the truth always hurts, and Caidie is very hurt now.
