Doctor Lin twitched the corners of his mouth, looked at Lin Xi speechlessly, and said, "You girl, you really don't make me worry."

He waved his hand: "Go quickly, go quickly, I can still lie to you!"

Lin Xi looked at him suspiciously, and turned back several times before walking to another open cave entrance.

Finally, Lin Xi decided to trust Dr. Lin's order again, turned around and left.

After she left, Dr. Lin's face suddenly darkened. He looked back at the strange fragrance on the table with a scary cold look in his eyes.

The road directed by Doctor Lin was also a tunnel. Lin Xi took out a fire stick and blew it on, and ran forward with this tiny light.

There was no fork in the road, and about two-quarters of an hour later, Linxi reached the end.

There was an upward stone staircase in front of her. When she walked up, she found a trap door.

Lin Xi tried to push and was able to push.

She pushed up with some strength and finally opened the trap door. When she smelled the fresh air, she took a few big breaths.

It's suffocating her down there!

Lin Xi then looked around and found that when he came out, he was in a small house, similar to a woodshed, with a lot of debris around it.

Lin Xi cleaned up the surroundings and climbed up using the ground.

After thinking about it, Lin Xi felt that she still couldn't believe Dr. Lin's shameless temperament. So Lin Xi struggled to push the box next to him and pressed it against the trap door.

Then he went out.

Then I discovered that this should be a residential building somewhere, but because no one lives there all year round, it looks very desolate and messy.

There was no one in the main house and the side house, and there was even a thick layer of dust and cobwebs.

Lin Xi didn't take a closer look and opened the door and went out to the street.

It was ten minutes in the middle of the night, there was no one on the street, and Lin Xi had never been here before, so he didn't know where to go back to the Yamen.

She looked around and decided to knock on her neighbor's door to ask someone.

But just as she was about to do it, there was sudden movement on the street in the distance.

Lin Xi looked over and heard many footsteps at the end, and then a bright light appeared. Many people were coming holding torches.

If you look carefully, isn't it an official job?

Lin Xi was overjoyed and ran towards them quickly.

But those people seemed to be searching from house to house, and they dispersed to do their own things. Someone noticed her and immediately shouted: "Stop! You are not allowed to go out during the curfew. Who are you!"

Lin Xi hurriedly said: "I am Lin Xi, the person responsible for the autopsy at the Yamen today!"

Unexpectedly, as soon as these words came out, all the officials looked at her and stared at her with great reaction.

Lin Xi was a little frightened, doubting that something would happen, right?

Just as he was thinking about it, the official said excitedly: "I found it! I finally found it!"

Almost crying with joy, Lin Xi looked confused and was taken away by them before he could recover.

However, before leaving, Lin Xi still asked several officials to guard the courtyard where she came out, and then she followed them and was finally taken to the Yamen.

At that time, the sky broke and the dawn showed its light.

Lin Xi was a little confused when she saw that the officials were very careful with her and were very eager to send her back to the Yamen.

Until they arrived at the Yamen, Lin Xi saw Shen Chen at the door of the Yamen.

She quickly ran over: "Shen Chen!"

Hearing her voice, Shen Chen looked over. Before Lin Xi could recover, he had quickly reached her and hugged her into his arms.

Lin Xi was almost out of breath from being hugged by him.

"Where have you been? I searched the inn but couldn't find you!" Shen Chen asked in a deep voice. He let go of Lin Xi and checked her from beginning to end. He was relieved when he didn't see any injuries.

Lin Xi didn't know that Erbao and Wu Jiu went back after frightening the innkeeper. They didn't see her and thought she had gone out.

As a result, Shen Chen returned to the inn after finishing his work at the Yamen, and Lin Xi did not appear.

Only then did they realize that Lin Xi was missing.

Shen Chen flew into a rage on the spot and ordered everyone to search for Lin Xi everywhere, but failed to find her in the inn. He went to the Yamen to mobilize manpower and expanded the search from house to house throughout the county.

Shen Chen looked at Lin Xi closely, with fear still in his eyes.

The moment he learned that Lin Xi was missing, he felt that the sky was about to collapse, fearing that Lin Xi would be captured by the murderer.

Because the murderer has not yet been found, the murderer’s method of committing the crime is unknown.

This means that he does not know the murderer's ability. If Lin Xi is really murdered...then he cannot guarantee whether he can rescue Lin Xi in time before she is killed.

Lin Xi was stunned for a moment, and quickly comforted Shen Chen that he was fine, and said: "You don't know, there is a secret passage in the deceased's room in the inn! I went there to see if there was any unexpected gains, but I didn't expect that I fell in on the bed!"

Shen Chen looked slightly stunned and frowned: "Nonsense! Do you know how dangerous this is..."

"I know, gee, but I really got something!"

Lin Xi said coquettishly, and quickly told Shen Chen what Doctor Lin told him.

"Send someone quickly, the person there might be the murderer, and he might not have escaped yet! No, the murderer is so cunning, go there yourself!"

Shen Chen's frown deepened. He did not doubt Lin Xi's words and pointed out a group of people first, but he insisted on sending Lin Xi back to the inn in person.

The two were on the same road, so Lin Xi did not refuse.

After arriving at the inn, Lin Xi urged Shen Chen to go quickly.

When Shen Chen saw Er Bao and Wu Jiu coming down, he told Wu Jiu with a cold face not to leave mother and son for a while, and then left in a hurry.

Erbao threw himself into Lin Xi's arms with red eyes: "Mom! You scared me to death! I thought something had really happened to you!"

It was cold outside, so Lin Xi took him in and comforted him: "Look, mom is fine. Don't cry. The second baby is a man, so don't cry."

Erbao rubbed his eyes, held Lin Xi's hand and followed her step by step.

Lin Xi originally wanted to go back to that room to have a look, but when Erbao was like this, he sent him back to his room, coaxed him to sleep first, and asked about the shopkeeper.

Erbao then cheered up and said, "Mom, you don't know that the shopkeeper is actually related to the last man who died! Because that man was carrying a lot of gold and silver treasures. He was interested in the wealth and said that there happened to be someone at this time. When two men came to him, he became angry and teamed up to kill the man!"

"How?" Lin Xi asked in surprise.

Erbao shook his head: "He said he was only responsible for providing convenience, and those two people did the murder."

Lin Xi thought to himself, aren't the two of them just what Dr. Lin said they were going to do?

I hope Shen Chen can catch him.

Lin Xi saw that Erbao was so sleepy that he couldn't even open his eyes, so he asked him to sleep first.

Erbao was afraid that Lin Xi would disappear again after he went to bed, so he refused to sleep. After Lin Xi's repeated assurances, he was reluctantly willing to sleep.

Lin Xi waited for Erbao to fall asleep and then went out. Wu Jiu immediately stood up straight outside.

Seeing that his face was a little green, Lin Xi said kindly: "You have been on guard all night, so you should go and rest."

"No need."

Wu Jiu looked ugly because he couldn't accept that Lin Xi could disappear while he was around.

Although it was because of the secret passage, he was still a little embarrassed.
