The original wife who died young and dressed as the villain regent

However, when Lin Xi returned to the fallen entrance along the road, he found that the board had been closed.

Lin Xi guessed that this should be controlled by the agency, because she didn't see any pull-tab locks or the like, which also prevented her from opening it.

After searching around, Lin Xi even touched the board and surrounding walls like a carpet search, but could not find where the mechanism was.

"Strange, how did the people who came here before open it?"

Lin Xi couldn't find it, so he had no choice but to go down and see what the way out was ahead.

Fortunately, he still had a firelight for lighting, so he wouldn't have to fumble around in the dark. Otherwise, Lin Xi felt that he would definitely be scared.

Slowly, Lin Xi walked to the place where he fell and stopped.

Lin Xi walked more cautiously on the way back, always paying attention to whether there was anyone in front of him.

Anyone who appears here will most likely be a murderer.

She has no martial arts skills, and it will definitely be very dangerous when she confronts the murderer, and her life may be at stake here.

After walking for about a quarter of an hour, Lin Xi turned in front and saw the vague appearance of a hole inside. It was even darker inside, but through the light of the fire folding stick in her hand, she could see the outline of some things.

That should be the deepest part of the tunnel.

Lin Xi tiptoed close to the wall, paying attention to the movement before and after.

In fact, the back part is not necessary, because this tunnel leads to the end, and Lin Xi didn't find a fork in the road when he walked through it.

There are official officials at the inn, so they should be on duty on the second floor, so it is impossible for the murderer to come in from the inn room above.

But it still provides some psychological comfort.

At the end, Lin Xi listened carefully.

There was no movement or breathing.

There should be no one.

Lin Xi held up the fire folder and looked around at the entrance of the cave.

The area that the firelight can illuminate is limited. From her position, she can only vaguely see some tables, cabinets, benches and other items in the distance. There are also some bottles and jars and other objects and outlines on those tables.

It shows that this place is very big. At first glance, it is as big as two inn rooms.

The peculiar smell in the air is even more obvious.

Lin Xi was sure that this was the place where that strange fragrance was made.

No one was seen, she should be the only one here.

Lin Xi boldly went in and found several large tables with candlesticks on them. She lit them one by one.

In an instant, the place lit up, enough for Lin Xi to see the whole scene clearly.

Her first reaction was that someone must have lived here for a long time. There was a bed against the wall on the right hand side, with quilts and pillows folded very neatly. No one had slept in it in a short period of time.

There are water basins, chamber pots and other things next to it, and there are some rice, flour, pancakes, charcoal fires, etc. next to several large cabinets on the left.

Lin Xi walked to those who were eating and touched the pancakes, which had become dry and hard.

Judging from her experience, there has been no one living here for two days.

It exactly corresponds to the time of the deceased above.

Lin Xi walked to several tables and looked at the spice utensils on them and the raw materials next to them. She twisted the starting point and sniffed lightly, and her face suddenly changed.

She recognized it as the smell of delphinium, and delphinium grew in the north.

Shen Chen said that the Yueqin was a masterpiece planted by the Fifth Prince's rebels in the past, and the murderer might also be the Fifth Prince's man, who killed the Yueqin to protect himself.

But things from the north appear here. Could it be that the murderer is colluding with the border barbarians?

etc!

Shen Chen also said that Yueqin's case was related to the Yanmenguan case. Could it be that someone in Da Qin colluded with the Hu people to frame Shen Chen, and they are still colluding now?!

Lin Xi's expression became solemn, and she quickly pulled down the purse from her waist, opened it, and put some ingredients inside.

Immediately, Lin Xi suddenly heard a muffled roar.

somebody is coming!

Lin Xi looked around in panic.

However, Lin Xi couldn't tell where the sound came from.

In a hurry, Lin Xi had to blow out all the candlesticks quickly and hid in the nearest corner of the bed.

The sound became more and more obvious, and Lin Xi's nerves became tense, and her heart almost jumped out of her throat.

Soon, Lin Xi heard a completely different sound. It must be that the stone wall had moved away.

Probably in the direction of the cabinet not far away.

Immediately, there were footsteps. The footsteps were so light that if Lin Xi hadn't been listening with all his concentration, he would hardly have been able to hear them.

Judging from past experience, Lin Xi understood that the murderer was indeed a martial arts practitioner with extremely high martial arts skills!

It's over, it's over, if the murderer finds her, will she end up like that female corpse?

But now Shen Chen didn't even know she was here and couldn't save her. She also arranged for Wu Jiu to help Erbao pretend to be a ghost and scare the shopkeeper.

While Lin Xi was thinking wildly, he heard that the man seemed to be walking to the table and didn't know what he was doing.

The other party didn't use anything like a fire stick to illuminate him, so Lin Xi couldn't see who the other party was.

After thinking about it, Lin Xi decided to take the initiative and strike first before the opponent noticed her, catching the opponent off guard!

So Lin Xi held her breath and stood up, moving as lightly as possible.

At the same time, the other party was turning over something, and the movement was enough to cover up the sound of Lin Xi's footsteps.

Lin Xi listened to the direction the other party's voice came from and moved out, pulled out the dagger in his sleeve and raised it high, slowly approaching.

Seeing that he was getting closer and closer to the source of the sound, Lin Xi was so nervous that he forgot to breathe.

But I never thought that a light suddenly lit up in front of me!

The other party lit the candlestick placed on the table, and Lin Xi used the light to see that the other party was a man with a slightly stooped back and a bit of stature.

Seeing that the other party was about to turn around and the distance between them was still two meters, Lin Xi threw the dagger directly.

But the other party was as sharp as she expected. He turned around almost instantly and avoided it immediately.

But he still couldn't dodge, and the opponent's arm was severely scratched, and blood suddenly spurted out.

When Lin Xi saw that the blow missed, her heart skipped a beat and she pounced on him and started beating him up.

The other party was caught off guard and fell to the ground and was hit several times. He shouted in pain: "Where did this bastard come from! It's still a girl? How brave!"

This voice sounds familiar.

Lin Xi was stunned and was pushed down by the other party.

Lin Xi saw out of the corner of his eye that it was a little old man, and he was...

"Old man Lin?!" Lin Xi shouted in surprise.

The other party was also stunned, covering his arms and turning his head to look, and then his eyes widened, as if he had seen a ghost.

"why you?!"

"I still want to ask you! Why are you here!"

Lin Xi got up from the ground, but he was no longer afraid, only full of surprise.

She pointed to the hole and asked: "Go out from there. There is an inn room above, and a man and a woman died in it! It was you who did it?!"

Doctor Lin's wound was already in severe pain, and he felt even more headache after hearing these words, "What inn room, what dead person? What are you talking about? It's such a mess!"

"I……"

"Okay, okay, look, you hurt me, why don't you bandage me quickly!" Doctor Lin was about to cry without tears.
