Flower Moon

There was peace in Tao Yue'er's bedroom. A small lamp was lit by the bedside. The wick was specially cut in half. The pea green-sized candle was not bright and dazzling, but it also illuminated the room, making it easier for Tao Yue'er to wake up at any time to retrieve her belongings. There is an incense burner placed on the table in the room. The fragrance of tea curls up, diffuses and has a calming effect. Standing in Tao Yue'er's room, the bloody storm outside seems to have nothing to do with her inside.

Her room was exceptionally comfortable and homey. And she herself knew nothing about Chen Qiubi's death.

"What should I do? Do you want to tell her?" Bai Xiangjing also rushed over and asked Ji Hanyu.

Ji Hanyu asked him: "Have you checked the cause of Chen Qiubi's death?"

"He died of suffocation, but he was not hanged. He was strangled on the ground and then hanged."

"The body of an immortal shouldn't have died like this, without any other traces?" Ji Hanyu asked again.

Bai Xiangjing shook his head: "I can't tell."

Ji Hanyu pondered for a while and said, "Don't tell Tao Yue'er yet. It won't be too late to wait until her injury recovers."

"Okay." As soon as Bai Xiangjing finished speaking, a man in purple walked past the two of them and walked into the room. She strode over, picked up the water on the table, and poured it on Tao Yue'er.

Tao Yue'er woke up from her sleep. Her whole body ached when she moved, and she woke up instantly from the pain. She opened her eyes and saw Chang Yu standing in front of her bed. And behind her, there were a series of bloody footprints.

"What are you doing?!" Seeing this, Ji Hanyu quickly walked in and pulled Chang Yu away.

Even Bai Xiangjing, who was usually close to Chang Yu, disapproved of Chang Yu's actions at this time.

Chang Yu sneered and said: "A murder occurred in her house. Shouldn't she be woken up for interrogation? After all, she is the biggest suspect!"

"Who...are you saying is dead?" Tao Yue'er was confused, and when she saw that Chen Qiubi, who had been by her side, was not there, she had a very bad suspicion in her heart. Regardless of the severe pain, she struggled to get out of bed, and she was about to fall before taking two steps. Fortunately, Ji Hanyu had quick eyes and quick hands and helped her, so she didn't fall. But it was at this time that she saw the tragic scene outside the door. .

Chen Qiubi's limbs were limp and her head was weak. She was hung on the beam at the door. It was as if he had no breath.

She knew faster than others, not only because they had already investigated, but because she found that she really couldn't hear a single sound in Chen Qiubi's heart.

She completely left this world, leaving not even a trace of her soul behind.

Ji Hanyu quickly went to notify General Tunan and Chang Peidiji. Naturally, the Immortal Lord also knew about it, and specifically allowed General Tunan and Chang Peidiji to bring people into the inner courtyard to investigate.

"No one can enter this house without the permission of the owner of the house. In other words, the suspect is among the four of you." As soon as they arrived, Chang Peidiji announced the suspect.

Ji Hanyu frowned: "You mean, only me, Bai Xiangjing, and Chang Yu who followed Tao Yuer'er back to the room are suspected?"

"Yes, including Tao Yue'er herself. After all, most of the time, she and Chen Qiubi are alone in this room. Chen Qiubi is dead, but she is intact, which is really strange."

"Chen Qiubi is my friend! I brought her from the human world, how could I kill her!" Tao Yue'er was dissatisfied and shouted angrily.

Chang Pei Diji's enigmatic answer: "Then I don't know. People's hearts will change. Maybe they were close friends one moment, but they were separated for inexplicable reasons the next moment. Even... maybe there is no need for a reason, maybe Your temperament has changed drastically due to being tortured today. What did she say wrongly that made you unhappy, so you killed her?" "This is absolutely impossible!" Tao Yuer'er denied excitedly.

Ji Hanyu saw that the wounds on her body began to ooze blood again, and presumably opened again, so he hurriedly comforted her and asked her to lie down.

Ji Hanyu said: "I know it can't be you. Don't be angered by Chang Pei Diji. She just classified us as suspects. When the real culprit is found, the truth will naturally be revealed. But..."

"Just what?" General Tunan asked.

"It's just that I saw a strange thing in Tao Yue'er's room before, like a white cat... flashing across the ground."

When Tao Yue'er heard this, she guessed that he was talking about Shen Tu.

But Shentu had no limbs and could not be the murderer of Chen Qiubi. Although Chen Qiubi is not very powerful, she is definitely capable of fighting back against Shen Tu.

"Impossible." At this time, General Tunan also said: "Only the servant boy can enter the backyard. No other people or other creatures will enter. The suspects are only among the four of you."

"I see..." Ji Hanyu said he understood, and at the same time, his expression when looking at the other two people became serious.

Chang Yu and Bai Xiangjing looked at Ji Hanyu the same way.

"If I remember correctly, you were the first person to rush into Tao Yue'er's room." Chang Yu looked at Ji Hanyu and said.

Ji Hanyu nodded: "My room is closest to Tao Yue'er's. I rushed over as soon as I heard the sound. What's the problem?"

Chang Yu stared closely into his eyes, seemingly not letting go of any clues on his expression, and said, "You are fully clothed. It doesn't look like you are resting in your room. It looks more like you know what will happen in the middle of the night." , so we made preparations and rushed to the scene as soon as possible.”

"If I really have such thoughts as you said, in order to avoid suspicion, shouldn't I come back at half hour in the evening?" Ji Hanyu said disdainfully: "Besides, our Xuanqing Sect is a large sect that has been inherited for thousands of years. My etiquette is that my appearance must be neat and tidy. I must keep myself spotless at all times. What’s the problem?”

"Really? But you can take off your clothes faster than anyone else on the boat." Chang Yu teased, which reminded Ji Hanyu of the scene on the boat where he abandoned everything and let go of all his pride.

It turned out that not only Tao Yue'er saw these scenes, but everyone else also saw them.

Ji Hanyu's face instantly turned red. He didn't want to argue with him, so he turned to General Tunan and said, "I act upright and sit upright. I have never done anything like this. I accept all your investigations."

Bai Xiangjing, who had been silent until now, nodded and said, "I'll do whatever you want."

"It's getting late now. You go back and rest first. I will send someone to your respective rooms tomorrow morning to question you. Don't go anywhere until the questions are finished. Do you understand?" General Tunan looked at several people and said.

Chang Yu, Bai Xiangjing, and Ji Hanyu nodded and were about to leave.

At this time, Ji Hanyu seemed to have remembered something and asked Tao Yuer, "Do you want to move to my place?"
