Chapter 392 Get Caught Right!

After Zhou Xing climbed over the wall and entered, he started looking for someone.

This house is not big. It is probably old and looks a little dilapidated.

He soon saw someone in the east wing. The man was not very tall and was wearing a pair of coarse green clothes. He was standing with his back to him and was talking to Xi Yan in a low voice.

Why did he think it was Xi Yan?It was just because of the eye-catching clothes Xiyan wore when she went out.The light in the room was dim, so Xi Yan's face couldn't be seen clearly.

He didn't dare to get too close, so naturally he couldn't hear what Xi Yan and the man in green shirt were saying.

As for the man in the green shirt with his back to him, he could not see his face until the man in the green shirt turned sideways, revealing an ordinary face. There seemed to be pockmarks on his face, which was the same as the features he had heard. .

The man in green wears a half-palm-sized white jade on his waist, but it is very eye-catching.

If nothing unexpected happens, the man in green is the Mr. Yan he is looking for.

He still wanted to take a closer look, but the man in green suddenly looked towards the window.

Zhou Xing's heart skipped a beat and he immediately hid in a dark corner.

After a while, he looked around and saw the man in Tsing Yi still talking to Xi Yan.

He turned around and was about to leave, but suddenly stopped and looked back at Mr. Yan, feeling that something was wrong.

Yes, Mr. Yan's back always feels familiar to him...

After leaving the house, Zhou Xing was still thinking about this problem, but he couldn't remember when he had seen Mr. Yan.

Seeing his worried look, Zhao De asked, "Is Mr. Yan not here yet?"

Zhou Xing came to his senses and then remembered the business: "Here we are, we will start arresting people after Xi Yan leaves."

Zhao De didn't dare to say anything and stepped aside, waiting for Gu Xiyan to come out.

But Zhou Xing was still wondering why he felt that Mr. Yan's back was familiar. After a quick glance, he was sure that he had never seen Mr. Yan. In that case, where did the strange feeling of familiarity come from?

While he was thinking wildly, the door of the house opened.

Zhou Xingyi raised his hand and everyone became invisible.

He also stayed far away, only seeing a piece of Gu Xiyan's skirt until she got on the carriage, and then Hu Die drove away in the carriage.

Seeing Gu Xiyan's carriage go away, Zhao De asked in a low voice, "Is Your Highness going to take action?"

"Wait a minute!" Zhou Xing was afraid that Gu Xiyan would notice something strange here before she could go far.

He didn't want to confront her.

Since Mr. Yan is in the courtyard, it won't take more than a minute and a half.

After waiting for about another quarter of an hour, Zhou Xing gave the order and went inside to arrest the person.

The guards Zhou Xing brought were all well-trained masters, and they jumped in from the wall.

Gu Xiyan, who had already been hiding in the cellar, heard the movement and knew that the time had come. She pulled the rope hard, and there was a loud "bang" in the east wing.

When Zhou Xing broke in, he saw the fire in the east wing soaring into the sky. The fire was so powerful that no one dared to break into the sea of ​​​​fire.

His expression changed slightly and he ordered people to put out the fire.

But the fire was too strong, and I didn't know where to find water for a while. I tried to put out the fire, but it was basically too late.

In just this moment, the fire spread rapidly, and seeing that the entire house was about to burn to the ground, Zhao De quickly protected Zhou Xing and exited the house.After the fire was put out, Zhou Xing found a charred corpse in the ruins of the east wing.There was a piece of blackened white jade next to the body, which was obviously the Mr. Yan he had caught a glimpse of.

"Mr. Yan must have discovered our traces and set himself on fire. But Mr. Yan didn't know who we were, so why did we kill ourselves in this way?" Zhao De didn't understand what this meant.

I originally thought that arresting Mr. Yan this time was a sure thing, but who knew that Mr. Yan would respond to them in such a brutal way.

Zhou Xing was very angry. He originally thought that after catching Mr. Yan, it would be easy to check and balance Zhou Mu.But Mr. Yan is dead. Once this man dies, his plan will be in vain.

"I always feel that something is fishy." Zhou Xing's mind was in a mess and he couldn't figure it out.

"Your Highness, let's leave first? There's a fire here. Officers and soldiers will come to investigate the case soon. We have to leave before they arrive." Zhao De reminded.

Zhou Xing stared at the charred corpse for a while, then strode away with resentment in his eyes.

Gu Xiyan's heart was beating fast as she was hiding in the cellar. She was afraid that Zhou Xing's people would find out that the house had a cellar.

In fact, as long as you check carefully, it is easy to find the existence of a cellar.It's just that there was a fire in the house, Zhou Xing brought so many experts here, and there was a charred corpse. Zhou Xing definitely didn't dare to stay too long, otherwise the officers and soldiers who came to investigate the case would not be able to explain it clearly.

She was betting that Zhou Xing had a guilty conscience and had no time to inspect the house carefully.

When the crowd's footsteps faded away, she breathed a sigh of relief.

She also had to leave this place of right and wrong before the officers and soldiers arrived.

But she was worried that Zhou Xing hadn't gone far yet and didn't dare to leave easily.

Yue Mo waited for another quarter of an hour to make sure there was no sound around, and then she quietly emerged from the cellar.

She was still wearing men's clothing because it was easier to move around in men's clothing.But before that, she had washed her face with water in the cellar, wiped a handful of mud on her face, and then crawled out of the cellar.

Before leaving, she specifically checked the cellar, covered up her footprints, and made sure that no suspicious evidence was left behind before leaving the burned-down house in a hurry.

She and Hu Die made an appointment to meet in Hejiacun, a mile away. Hejiacun had another way back to the city.

One mile was not a long journey, and Gu Xiyan was only afraid that Zhou Xing would bump into him before he could get far.

She had only walked half a mile when she saw several officers and soldiers coming towards her.She made a quick decision, turned around and walked to the side of the field embankment.

Unexpectedly, she just walked to the bank of the field when she heard a familiar voice: "Stop!!"

Gu Xiyan was stunned. Wasn't the owner of this voice Xu Yanqing?How did he come to the southern suburbs?
She complained endlessly, neither advancing nor retreating.

Let Xu Yanqing see her face, no matter how much mud she puts on her face, Xu Yanqing will still recognize it.Moreover, the burning house was half a mile away, so she would be in trouble if Xu Yanqing saw her.

"Ayan, I'm in a hurry and won't wait for you." It was Zhao Qingqi who spoke.

He is currently the Prime Minister of Dali Temple, and he just met Xu Yanqing on the road.Someone happened to come to report that there was a fire in a house in the southern suburbs. Xu Yanqing said that he had free time today and came with him to take a look.

Xu Yanqing looked at the figure in green with good eyes. He always felt that this man's figure was very familiar. He must have seen it somewhere.

He thought he had a good memory, but he couldn't remember where he had seen this person.

"Okay, you go first, I'll meet you later." Xu Yanqing had no time to pay attention to Zhao Qingqi, and kept staring at Tian An's back.

Zhao Qingqi was in a hurry and hurriedly led people to the location of the fire.

The closer Xu Yanqing got to that person, the more familiar his back looked. As he got closer and closer, he suddenly had an idea and finally remembered that he had seen this man in Tsing Yi downstairs in Jixiang, whose surname was Yan.

Haha, looking at the title, you would think you were caught red-handed by Zhou Xing, right?
