Chapter 287 Making excuses
Song Shiyun hummed deeply and looked around: "There is nothing to hide here. If a ferocious beast is really attacking, why are the footprints broken here?"

"This is indeed a problem." Xie Rugu nodded.

There is a wide view all around, except for a small hillside.

There are neither deep mountains or forests nor rivers and lakes.

There is absolutely no way the footprints were here, and they suddenly disappeared.

Xie Ru remained silent.

Song Shiyun looked at him.

The two of them felt more and more that this matter was even stranger.

Following those footprints, Song Shiyun and Xie Rugu walked back.

In order to avoid bumping into Zhou Zhenren and others, Song Shiyun and Xie Rugu walked a little further away.

After bypassing Zhou Zhenren and others, Song Shiyun and Xie Rugu arrived and found the scene with the most corpses.

It was also speculated by local policemen as the scene where Jing Yuanyi and others were killed.

The place where Jing Yuanyi and others were killed happened to be at a fork in the road.

There are hills on both sides, and the road narrows. Going forward, there is a fork in the road.

There are still some blood stains on the official road.

It can be vaguely seen how tragic the situation was at that time.

Song Shiyun knelt down and examined the blood stains.

The dark red blood was mixed with a faint smell of corpse.

Not only that, Song Shiyun could see a trace of light yellow in the pile of blood stains.

Song Shiyun looked at it, but couldn't see what it was.

She couldn't help but look at Xie Rugu, "Xie Rugu, what do you think this is?"

Xie Ruyi raised his eyebrows slightly when he heard her calling him that.

Seeing him staring at her, Song Shiyun looked away evasively, and then glared at Xie Rugu, "I asked you to look at this, what are you looking at?"

"I only cared about looking at my second sister, but I forgot about the main business." Xie Rugu said frankly with a smile.

Song Shiyun's mouth twitched.

Before she got mad, Xie Rugu focused on the blood in front of her.

The light yellow traces were mixed with the blood.

It doesn't look like ordinary blood, nor does it look like internal organs or brains.

Xie Rugu couldn't tell the difference for a while, so he shook his head, "I can't tell, maybe it's the blood of some kind of animal?"

Song Shiyun frowned, "Even ferocious beasts don't have blood stains of this color, right?"

Xie Ruyi raised his eyebrows, "It seems so."

Song Shiyun: "..."

If she couldn't tell that Xie Ru was teasing her on purpose, then she would be a fool.

Song Shiyun was too lazy to have a verbal argument with Xie Rugu at this time.

She checked the other bloodstains.

There were a lot of blood stains in the film, but there was only this pool of blood, which was a bit strange.

Other blood stains looked normal.

Seeing this, Song Shiyun couldn't help but frown.

Xie Rugu stood next to Song Shiyun and suddenly let out a sigh.

Song Shiyun couldn't help but look over, "What's wrong?"

Xie Rugu stretched out his hand and said, "Stand up and take a look. Are there any traces of rubbing on these blood stains?"

"Rubbing marks?"

When Song Shiyun heard this, he stood up dubiously.

Look down from Xie Rugu’s perspective.

At first glance, there were indeed a few traces of something sweeping over the blood stains.

Song Shiyun frowned, "Didn't Magistrate Xu say that the scene had not been cleaned?"

Xie Ru said: "He did say that."

Song Shiyun frowned sharply, "Then why are there such marks?"

Xie Ruyi shrugged, "I don't know about that."

Song Shiyun carefully looked at the blood stains on the road.

Almost every blood stain has traces of being swept by something.

It looked like it had been cleaned specially.

Cleaned specially...

Song Shiyun's eyes darkened.

The soul-shattering formations on the head were deliberately scratched away.

Now, the bloodstains have been cleaned again.

There are human traces everywhere here.Someone must have done it on purpose.

Moreover, this person behind the scenes knows a lot about Xuanmen matters.

The soul-breaking formation is not a simple formation.

This person is not only familiar with the Soul-Smashing Array, but is also skilled in using the Soul-Smashing Array.

This person, perhaps knowing that someone from Xuanmen would handle it, deliberately tampered with the evidence.

Obviously he is also someone who knows the Tiansi Bureau and the supervisory offices in various places.

Song Shiyun thought about this and couldn't help but look at Xie Rugu, "Xie Rugu, it seems that Jing Yuanyi's death was really not an accident."

Of course Xie Rugu knew what she meant and nodded slightly, "Indeed."

Song Shiyun and Xie Rugu both knew that this matter was by no means an accident.

But there is no more evidence now.

Everything now is their guess.

Song Shiyun touched his chin and looked at Xie Rugu, "Xie Rugu, do you think this matter has something to do with the local Taoism?"

The person behind this must know magic.

Song Shiyun was inclined to think that the other party should be a member of Xuanmen or an evil cultivator.

Xie Rugu guessed: "There should be many Xuanmen around here, not just the Wang family, the Wang family is responsible for supervising the dormitory, and there are also many other aristocratic families, all of which are suspicious."

Song Shiyun recalled Wang Xuan's appearance.

Wang Xuan seemed quite decent.

His eyes are also clear.

He shouldn't look like a bad person.

Song Shiyun's face darkened, and after a moment, he said, "We have to find a way to meet the local Xuanmen people."

Xie Ru said as usual: "If you want to meet the local Taoist people, you may need help from the Wang family."

After all, Zhenren Zhou has stayed in the capital for many years.

Even Zhenren Zhou probably doesn't know that much about the local Xuanmen.

They want to meet the local Taoist people, and they definitely need someone to introduce them.

Song Shiyun narrowed his eyes: "Then go back and ask Wang Xuan."

Hearing this, Xie Rugu looked at her: "Does the second sister believe Wang Xuan?"

Song Shiyun pursed his lips, "I don't believe it, but I have seen him after all. From now on, there is nothing wrong with him. I can only be more suspicious of others."

Xie Ru nodded understandingly, "Then let's go back first?"

Song Shiyun hummed. After all, they had an excuse to come out for some air.

You have to go back now.

If it is discovered, it will be even more unclear and more likely to be suspected.

Song Shiyun and Xie Ru then went around in a circle and returned from the other side of the hillside.

When they went back, Zhou Zhenren and others had also gone back.

Seeing the two of them coming down the hillside, Zhou Zhenren asked with concern: "How is the second lady doing?"

Song Shiyun's face was still a little pale, "It's much better, my chest is no longer tight, but I still feel uncomfortable."

Zhenren Zhou looked at Song Shiyun's expression, which was indeed not good. For a moment, he thought it was true, "What should I do? Do you want to ask the doctor to take a look?"

Although it is said that in Taoism, there are nine doctors out of ten.

But Zhenren Zhou happened to be the one who had no research on medical skills.

Wang Xuan also practiced external skills, and he was good at fighting, but not good at medical skills.

When Song Shiyun heard this, she felt that this might be an opportunity. She held her heart and said, "I have an old problem. The Yin Qi has eroded my body before, leaving sequelae."

When Master Zhou heard this, he thought it was a problem left over from the last time he helped catch the Painted Skin Ghost.

He immediately frowned, "Then we have to clear out the Yin Qi quickly and then use medicine to repair the internal organs!"

Song Shiyun had a pale face and said nothing, but quietly squeezed Xie Ruji's palm.

Xie Rugu was supporting Song Shiyun, with a clear conscience, a calm face, and said cooperatively: "I'm afraid this won't be solved easily."

Zhou Zhenren said: "Indeed, we need to take medicine..."

Xie Rugu raised his head and looked at Magistrate Xu and Wang Xuan, "Is there anyone in the local Xuanmen family who is good at medical skills?"

Wang Xuan looked at Song Shiyun's pale face and replied: "The Li family in Yuyang are good at medical skills."

When Master Zhou heard this, his eyes immediately lit up, "Yes, the Li family in Yuyang is indeed good at medical skills! I remember that the head of the Li family is known as a miracle doctor. I wonder if the head of the Wang family can take us to see him?"

Naturally, Wang Xuan would not refuse, "That's no problem, but..." he paused, "What should we do about this official case?"

Master Zhou stroked his beard and looked thoughtful.

At this time, Song Shiyun covered his mouth, turned his head away, and coughed crazily.

After a while, his cheeks turned purple from coughing.

Seeing this, Master Zhou quickly said: "Nothing, let them put away all the bloody soil and stones first, and we will check back later."

Xie Ru also frowned and stared at Song Shiyun worriedly.
