Chapter 205: Night Meeting with the Young Widow
After handing over the doubtful points in the copywriting and the hand-drawn materials he had sorted out, Si Chao's eyes could not hide his solemnity:
"I'm afraid this matter is not simple."
"Before we went in, Leng Yu and Ying Liu were both masters who could almost fight two people at once, not counting the palace guards. The palace runners and the two elders of the Mu family only assisted them with their poisons and hidden weapons. And Miss Mu was hiding with a baby in her arms the whole time."
"I asked many people before and after, and according to them, they saw the seven people who died."
"But one of them died in a corner of the inner room. Not only was his neck broken, leaving no fingerprints, but even with your skills and gloves, how much internal strength would it take to not leave any traces?"
"This person is not a weak person. He was able to rush to the inner side. Obviously, he is a person with relatively high martial arts skills or a leader among these people."
"But this person died without making any sound, and even died with his eyes open. There is only one possibility, that he was killed without any warning."
"What's even more puzzling is why such a master hadn't taken any action before, and none of us noticed it?"
"I checked their attire. Although they were dressed like ordinary people, they were all martial artists. Regardless of whether they had the mark on their wrists or not, they all wore wrist guards or large bracelets. They must be from the same organization and must be related to the Dragon Spirit Cult."
"They've gone to so much trouble, even risking their lives in broad daylight. Whatever the purpose is, it must be very important."
"Ayi, if I can find out, there may be others who will notice it. Besides, this matter has become so big at this time, I am afraid it cannot be concealed."
Raising his hand to the sky, Si Chao sighed again:
"You have to plan ahead."
If this is really related to that woman's family, he has really taken on the biggest hot potato this time.
Looking through the information in his hand, Beitang Yi's brows were knitted again and again:
"Did you say before that there was a saint in the Dragon Spirit Sect whose pupils were different from those of ordinary people and were light-colored?"
"Do you suspect that Miss Mu or Madam Mu came from the Dragon Spirit Cult?"
With a scream, Si Chao's expression changed immediately:
"No, no way? To be a saint, one must at least be a high-ranking member of the Dragon Spirit Cult. The Mu family doesn't look like that..."
Is there support from a big family?
Having said that, Si Chao paused unconsciously. If not, today's incident would be impossible to explain. On the contrary, even Mu Lianzhi's unusual eye color could be explained.
His face grew even gloomier.
If Beitang Yi's woman is related to the Longling Sect, then these two people are really joining forces to commit suicide.
However, before Si Chao could say anything, Beitang Yi asked first:
"Have you taken any medicine that can turn your eyes darker?"
"Yes, there is, but medicine is toxic to some extent. Taking medicine for a long time for this..." After all, it is not a long-term solution.
"It doesn't matter, as long as it can prove that eye color can be changed."
He nodded rapidly, and suddenly, Si Chao paused again:
"No, you know that she is related to the organization that His Majesty fears the most, but you still want to stand by her side?"
He is gambling with everyone's lives.
"Isn't this what a couple should do? She doesn't even know martial arts, and she threw herself on me without hesitation even though she knew she would die."
Waving his hand, Beitang Yi directly blocked all of Si Chao's subsequent words:
"Not to mention that things are still unclear and there is still room for maneuver. Even if it really comes to that, it's still unclear who is dragging whom down."
"Si Chao, I don't want to let her down."
"Besides, we will not be able to avoid the Dragon Spirit Sect's affairs sooner or later. Maybe this will be a turning point."
He motioned for him to come forward, and the two of them put their heads together to discuss a solution.
……
At this time, in the room of Yuxiuyuan, Mu Lianzhi studied the Mudong pearl hairpin over and over again, thinking about how to deal with this hot potato.
What secret is hidden here?
It would be better if you could untie it before processing.
The wood is very smooth, and there are no signs of carving except for the natural wood grain. Pearl also tried using eyebrow powder, and there were no signs of carving either. Does she have to destroy the hairpin to decipher the secret?
If that's the case, this hot potato will really be a disaster for us.
If it were so easy to be destroyed, this thing wouldn't have survived until now, right?
While she was thinking, Mu Lianzhi inadvertently felt around and felt that the surface of the pearl seemed uneven. Looking at it more closely under the light, she discovered that there were slight wrinkles on the surface of the pearl in some places. At a glance, it looked like undulating mountains.
She had always known that this oriental pearl had many flaws. After touching it and looking at it, combined with the pattern of hollow branches carved on the inside of the hairpin, she suddenly had a bold idea:
Could it be that the map hidden inside is actually made use of the natural flaws in the pearl and the messy branch patterns that half-cover it?
She got up and went to the kitchen to knead some dough, some dyed with spinach juice and some with white flour.
Back in the room, under the light, she pressed the pearl inside, turning it little by little to press out clear lines on the pearl, then she copied it onto paper, and finally even drew the shape of the wooden hairpin.
When both sides were painted and compared side by side, she was shocked.
It was clearly the front and back of a wooden hairpin, and they looked exactly the same, but after being drawn, they were two completely different sets. When put together, it was obviously a small part of a map. One of the nodes was marked with two words, and Mu Lianzhi recognized it as "Baishan" at a glance. As for whether it was a mountain, a city or somewhere else, she didn't know.
The Dragon Spirit Sect is really clever. They can actually use the natural flaws of pearls to leave information. Although some parts of this map are not so clear and controllable, it is roughly clear. Once the complete map is pieced together, it should not be difficult to find.
After tidying up the drawings and putting them away, Mu Lianzhi put away the pieces of dough and used the remaining dough to make a mold for the entire pearl hairpin.
With this appearance mold, Mu Dongzhu will be useless in the future. Whoever wants it can give it to them.
After finishing, she thought for a while, then took the small scraper she usually used to sharpen her nails and scraped some pearl powder off a few places where the protrusions were obvious.
After these few times, the map will definitely change, or even be completely destroyed. In this way, if someone discovers this secret in the future, it will definitely take some time to decipher and repair it.
As a disciple, she can be considered loyal to the Longling Sect!
Just as she was thinking, she heard some movement outside the window:
"Who?"
Mu Lianzhi quickly put away the things on the dressing table and walked out. As soon as she walked out of the screen, a white shadow jumped in from the window. Then she saw Leng Yun outside the window quietly turning his back again.
Beitang Wing?
"How did you get in here?"
After glaring at him with dissatisfaction, Mu Lianzhi pulled him and turned around to blow out or dim the lights in the room.
Outside the courtyard, Jiang was feeling very upset. She looked up and saw a white shadow jumping and flashing in the distance.
