After the torch was lit, Xu Zun lit a torch, entered the ruins first, and began to survey the site.

This Taoist temple was already dilapidated, most of the rooms had already collapsed, and it seemed that there was no need to burn it.

Xu Zun saw that even a big tree in the yard was burnt to charcoal.

Here are all tile-roofed houses, and the fire can burn so big, it must be arson!
After careful observation, he found that there was only one house that could be used for human habitation before the fire, so he went directly into the house through the burnt door.

The house was also fully burned, except for a few piles of ashes, there was almost nothing left.

Xu Zun smelled a strong smell of tar, which was more certain that it was caused by man.

"It's so dirty," Huo Anu stood at the door and refused to come in, "My newly bought clothes are so dirty that they can't be washed off!"

"Okay, then don't come in," Xu Zun instructed, "Stay outside and let me know if the police come."

"Good!" Huo Anu couldn't wait for it.

Xu Zun looked through the wreckage with the branches he had prepared in advance, and found that the charred ones should be some daily necessities.

The house is not big, almost clear at a glance.

Xu Zun soon noticed that there was an extremely narrow doorway in the deepest part of the room, leading to another room inside.

What is strange is that there is a pool of ashes piled up in front of the door opening, as if something had been burned there before.

At first, he thought that there was a door in the door opening, and the ashes were left by the door, but after observing the shape repeatedly, he felt more like a cabinet or other furniture.

strange!
If this is a door opening, what was the purpose of blocking it with a cabinet before?
Thinking of this, Xu Zun quickly walked into the doorway, his face tightened when the light of the fire shone.

But seeing that the walls here are empty, the whole room is scorched black, but there is no charred ashes on the ground.

why?
There is nothing in this room at all, why use fire to burn it?
This is an unusually small and dark hut, the roof can be touched by straight arms, there are no windows around, and it looks more like a cave.

It's unbelievable, what the hell is the murderer trying to do?
Xu Zun wandered around the house several times, thinking that there would be a secret channel or something, but he couldn't find anything after searching for a long time.

no, no...

Xu Zun thought, the murderer took so much effort to burn down the Taoist temple, he must be trying to cover up something!
Ok……

Hey?
Suddenly, Xu Zun thought about it.

Regardless of the charred ashes, he wiped the wall with his sleeve.

After rubbing it, I saw something suddenly appeared on the wall, it was actually a - word!

No, not one word, but many words!
Moreover, there are messy scratches on the words.

Oh……

There are words on the wall!
The murderer lit the fire, did he want to cover up these writings?

"Hey, Xu Xiaopan, come out!" Unexpectedly, at this critical moment, Huo Anu's call suddenly came from outside, "They are here!"

Ugh!
What a bad time!
In desperation, Xu Zun had no choice but to leave the room and turn off the torch.

Looking into the dark night, you can see a faint fire moving in the distance.

Seeing this, the two immediately exited the Taoist temple and found a place that was more convenient for observation and concealment.

After a while, he really saw Zhao Yu leading a few police officers to the front.

"It's over, it's over, it's over..." Seeing the tragic situation in the Taoist temple, Zhao Yu was the first to shout "It's over" several times!
"What's the situation?" The police officers were also shocked and disappointed, "Why did they still get burned?"

However, after some discussions, Zhao Yu was still experienced, and immediately said the same words as Xu Zun:

"Because of the fire, it is more confirmed that the old Taoist in the view of longevity is the one lying in the coffin! Come on guys," he ordered, "let's go in and look for it, and see if we can find anything else? What about the other corpses?"

The police officers didn't say much, and immediately packed up the torches, and entered the Taoist temple one by one to search.

After searching around, like Xu Zun, they also agreed that only that small house can be lived in, so they began to focus on the search...

"Hey," Huo Anu poked Xu Zun and muttered in a low voice, "Isn't this all normal? Where are the spies?"

Xu Zun ignored her, staring fixedly at the hut, wanting to know if the policemen could find the writing on the wall?

After waiting for about a minute or two, there were excited cries in the cabin.

Oh?
Xu Zun thought about it, it seems that they must have discovered the writing.

However, something unexpected happened to Xu Zun. He only heard a famous policeman in the room shout: "Captain Zhao, come and take a look, this should be a piece of jade, right!!?"

what! ?

Hearing this, Xu Zun leaned out first, feeling incredible.

"What are you talking about? With such a big fire, the jade has been burned long ago?" Zhao Yu's voice came from inside the room, "Let me see!"

While speaking, Zhao Yu walked out of the house with something in his hand, and a policeman beside him lit a torch for him.

Zhao Yu rubbed the things in his hands vigorously, and said in surprise: "Young lady, Xiong, you are really crazy? It's really a piece of jade!"

"Be careful, be careful," reminded the policeman holding the torch, "This jade has been burned, it is... a jade pendant, right?"

Listening to the other party's discussion, Xu Zun felt his heart beat faster and his blood boil.

He had obviously searched those ruins just now, if there was really a jade pendant, how could he not have found it?

Also, with such a big fire, can this jade pendant really survive?

He reviewed his chemistry knowledge, vaguely remembering that the melting point of jade is around 2000 degrees.

However, he didn't know whether the fire in the Taoist temple could reach more than 2000 degrees?

"Xu Zun," this time, Huo Anu changed his name again, and said to Xu Zun, "If there is no problem, let's go over and have a look? Anyway, they are all under your command, and that thing may be very important!"

Xu Zun immediately waved his hands, which meant that they had already lied, and going out now would not only make it difficult to explain, but would make the mole suspicious.

Next, the policemen discussed the jade pendant again, and Zhao Yu said that they didn't know it, and they had to find someone who knew it to show it to them tomorrow.

"Captain Zhao," said one of the policemen, "With this jade pendant, we can have a job with our county captain tomorrow, so let's call it a day? You can sleep when you go back!"

"That's right, it's such a big place here, what's the point of searching?" Another said, "If our foolish county captain doesn't like it, why don't we let him come and search it himself?"

After hearing the term "Confused County Captain", Huo Anu couldn't help laughing.

"No," Zhao Yu said seriously, "Didn't you notice that our muddled county captain seems to have become a little smarter recently?
"Besides, we're not all for him. This case is so important, so don't be careless. Let me search everything inside and out again! Be careful!"

The police had no choice but to disperse again and conduct a second search on the Temple of Longevity.

Seeing Zhao Yu enter the room, the two small policemen outside started talking again.

This one said, "Hmph, you're getting smarter! Just our foolish lord, we can't solve such a big case with a hundred clues!"

"Yes," another echoed, "The iron coffin has reappeared, I think he's done his job well..."
