"Uncle Chen, is something wrong?"

Huo Gang helped the old man into the house.

Shangguan Wanning followed behind them and took the opportunity to look at the room.

Uncle Chen seems to be living alone, with only a kettle and a water cup on the table, and there is no extra stool.

It can only be described as penniless.

Huo Gang asked Uncle Chen to sit down, and his eyes looked around and he suddenly felt a bad premonition.

"Silence, where is Miss Golden?"

"She...she's dead..."

"What?"

Huo Gang's face suddenly changed and his face seemed as if dead.

Shangguan Wanning's heart also skipped a beat. She could guess that the "Golden Girl" they mentioned was probably the evidence that Huo Gang said.

"Uncle Chen, how did Miss Jin die? Is it..."

Uncle Chen waved his hand, and there was a little sadness in his turbid eyes. "She died of drowning."

"Since you left, she has been in a daze, but as time goes by, she has recovered a little and can communicate with me briefly. This is a good child. When she sees me as old as she is, she often helps me with housework."

"One day she went to the river to wash clothes, fell into the river, was washed away by the water. When the villagers rescued her, they had no breath. Oh... it's all my fault. You said, she's a rich man like this.

Miss, how could I let her do the laundry?"

Huo Gang gradually recovered from his senses. He held Uncle Chen's hand tightly, his voice hoarse, but he tried his best to endure it.

"Uncle Chen, it has nothing to do with you. You have taken care of her for me for so long, and it's useless for me... I can't get justice for them."

Seeing Huo Gang's sad look, Chen Bo comforted him: "A Gang, don't be too sad either. They are rich and powerful, how can we beat them? Don't blame yourself, I know you have tried your best."

"While they haven't found you yet, go away quickly. Otherwise, there will be a disaster."

Shangguan Wanning only realized at this time that Huo Gang was still in danger of his life when he came back with her.

"Uncle Chen, take care of yourself. I will come to see you again if I have the chance."

Huo Gang sighed secretly, winked Shangguan Wanning, and walked out of the house.

Shangguan Wanning turned around and saw Uncle Chen staring at Huo Gang's back with a ardent but reluctant feeling, and a feeling of sorrow appeared in her heart.

She quietly put the twenty taels of silver she carried with her by the door.

It was late at night, and the alley was silent. The cold moonlight stretched the figures of the two of them for a long time.

Shangguan Wanning followed Huo Gang silently.

"I'm sorry, Miss, I think...I can't help you anymore."

"Brother Huo, it's okay, we'll think of other ways. But..." Shangguan Wanning hesitated for a long time and mustered up the courage to ask, "Can you tell me what happened to the previous murders? And

,About Wuji Gate…”

Huo Gang fell silent again.

Shangguan Wanning had no choice but to feel that Huo Gang had been avoiding these problems.

The two of them walked for a while, and Huo Gang spoke softly.

"About two years ago, the first murder case occurred. Because the victim was also a daughter of a wealthy businessman, and the crime was extremely cruel, it caused a lot of sensation in the Southeast Prefecture Prefecture. The government has been tracing it for a long time without any clues. Ten days later it happened again.

The second start.”

"As the situation worsened, the magistrate asked for help from Wuji Sect, hoping to use the forces of the martial arts world to help arrest the murderer. I was ordered by my master to assist the government in pursuing the investigation. But soon the third murder case occurred."

"It was in this murder case that the murderer left clues and asked me to follow the clues to find out the Ling family. It was also from that time that the investigation process became extremely unsuccessful. No matter what I found, the clues would be destroyed. Until...

Huo Gang's expression changed again, and his originally calmed thoughts began to churn again.

"There was a girl... she told me the mark of the murderer before she died. I always wanted to ask for a certificate but there was no chance. At that time, the master died. Miss Jin was the victim of the fifth case, and I arrived at that time

At that time, she still had a breath."

"I sent her home, but... the next day, the whole family was covered in blood. I originally thought that Miss Jin had also encountered a murderous move. However, I don't know if God had eyes, Miss Jin was crazy and hid in the cellar.

Escape from a disaster.”

"I didn't say anything about this. At that time... I couldn't protect myself, so I had to entrust Miss Jin to Uncle Chen to take care of her and took Momo away from the Southeast Prefecture. I thought, unless I was fully confident, I would

I won’t tell the whereabouts of Miss Jin.”

Shangguan Wanning could guess from Huo Gang's description that many things must have happened after the murder that year, which led to Huo Gang leaving his hometown.

"Brother Huo, don't think about the past. No matter what, there will always be a solution."

Shangguan Wanning needs some time but carefully sorts out the current situation and thinks about solutions.

"Why don't your senior brother tell the girl around you that even your fiancée died of a life of death?"

A voice came from the air, and Shangguan Wanning saw a young man in white performing his light skills and coming.

He shook the folding fan lightly, with a faint smile on his face, and under the bright moonlight, he was a little gentle and elegant.

However, Shangguan Wanning shuddered when she thought of him killing an innocent woman with one palm during the day.

Huo Gang stretched out his hand to protect Shangguan Wanning behind him and looked at Tie Shijie.

"The grudge between me and you has nothing to do with anyone."

"But if she came to investigate the murder case that year, it would have something to do with me." Tie Shijie looked at Shangguan Wanning slowly, "If a girl changes back to women's clothing, she must be as beautiful as a fairy."

Shangguan Wanning looked at Tie Shijie coldly and did not answer.

"Senior brother, Miss Jin is dead, even God won't help you. I advise you to stop."

Huo Gang was slightly stunned and showed a surprised expression.

"What? It's very strange? Senior brother, I've known about you hiding Miss Jin in Uncle Chen's house for a long time. I haven't taken action for a long time, because I don't think it's worth it."

"Is that? I'm afraid it may not be." Shangguan Wanning could hardly imagine that Tie Shijie would have such a cold heart under his gentle and jade-like appearance. "You want to use Miss Jin as bait, wait for Brother Huo to come back.

.”

Tie Shijie laughed. "You are right."

After saying that, he looked at Huo Gang again. "Senior brother, my master has always said that I am not as talented or talented as you. Tonight, we will compete. If you win, you will leave; if you lose, you will leave.

life."

Huo Gang's eyes became vicious and he snorted heavily.

"Okay, I'll clear the portal for Master today."
