    The meal was fairly stable, and there were no small tricks, but when the two of them went back to the county government office after eating, they were told that Liu Xiaoran left shortly after they left.

    "Liu Shaoqing left first? Did he go back to the inn?" Su Mu asked curiously. He didn't believe it in his heart. Liu Xiaoran wished he could sleep in the county office every day these days. Now that the sun has just set, it is impossible for him to go so earlyrest.

    Lu Lingjue was the old god, hooking Su Mu's shoulder and said mysteriously: "It looks like he didn't go back to the inn."

    "That……"

    "Don't look at our adults who always seem to be very disciplined on weekdays. In fact, he does things the most unruly. Since he didn't tell us, someone must be in trouble."

    Su Mu was at a loss, obviously not understanding the logical relationship between these words.

    Lu Lingjue didn't continue to explain, she blinked and said, "You will definitely find out tomorrow, if you are lucky... Maybe you will find out tonight."

    Since there was nothing wrong with the county government, Su Mu climbed into bed early after a long absence, and when he was about to fall asleep in a daze after thinking wildly for a while, there was a sudden sound of urgent footsteps outside, and then there seemed to be a sound coming from outside the window.There was a little noisy noise, which made Su Mu finally wake up.

    He sat on the bed and hammered his head, then put on some clothes and opened the door. As soon as he opened the door, he saw Mo Shu standing at his door with a serious face. However, although he was holding a sword, his expression was blank.was woken up.

    "Mo Shu, what's the matter?" Su Mu patted Mo Shu on the shoulder and asked.

    Mo Shu shook his head, indicating that he didn't know. Just when Su Mu was going to ask Lu Lingjue next door, he found that the room next door was already empty.

    What's wrong?

    He patted his head, entered the door in a daze, opened the window and looked out.

    At the end of the silent long street, a fiery red color seemed to be faintly printed, dyeing the night a little red.

    Su Mu woke up instantly.

    Lu Lingjue's absence was naturally due to an accident, and what alarmed him must be related to the Hong Mansion case.

    Is something wrong in the Hong residence?

    Before he had time to tie his hair, he hurriedly put on his clothes and went out. Although Mo Shu didn't understand why, he still followed behind him.His attire has always been simple, and now he has tied up his hair quickly with only a hair rope, which looks neater than Su Mu's.

    When the two arrived at the Hong Mansion, they saw that the people in the Hong Mansion were crowded, and that the place where the fire started was indeed here, Su Mu's heart tightened.

    He knew better than others that there was extremely important evidence and traces on Liang Xuanxuan's body in the main hall of the Hong Mansion, and this fire was by no means accidental.

    Without any time to think, Su Mu squeezed in through the crowds. Seeing that the fire was raging in the main hall, he was anxious and wanted to rush in to see the situation.

    Seeing that his expression was wrong, Mo Shu was about to step forward to stop him, but he didn't expect that Su Mu's actions were so fast that he disappeared into the fire curtain almost in a blink of an eye.

    He immediately became anxious, and wanted to follow in and pull Su Mu out, but he didn't want a hand stretched out behind him to grab his sleeve tightly.

    "What are you doing, what are you doing inside with such a big fire!" Lu Lingjue's voice sounded, Mo Shu turned his head and saw him and Liu Xiaoran.He couldn't speak, so he could only point his fingers into the fire field, and then wanted to shake off Lu Lingjue's hand and continue to rush in.

    Lu Lingjue couldn't understand what he meant, so naturally he refused to let go, but Liu Xiaoran's expression changed, he realized the reason why Mo Shu was so anxious.

    "He's in there?"

    Mo Shu was stunned for a moment, then nodded fiercely, his expression even more anxious.Lu Lingjue was taken aback by the thoughtless words, before she could react, Liu Xiaoran beside her suddenly dodged into the scene of fire without hesitation.

    Lu Lingjue glanced blankly at his back, thinking that she might not be awake enough.

    Why do these one and two like to rush into the fire?

    Not long after Su Mu entered the fire scene, he found the coffin in the hall. Because the fire started from the outside, there was still some room around the coffin. When he was about to take a closer look, his wrist suddenly fell.A cold touch.

    As soon as he turned his head, he saw Liu Xiaoran who was coming against the flames. He was dressed differently from usual today. He was dressed in black with narrow sleeves around his waist. He looked quite like a martial arts assassin.

    "Don't die?" Although his tone was still cold, he could still hear the worry in it, "Get out."

    "But this...cough cough..." Su Mu just wanted to turn his head to look at the coffin wrapped in flames, when a puff of smoke rushed towards his face. Even though he quickly closed his eyes and held his breath, he still couldn't escape the tearA cracking cough.

    Liu Xiaoran's expression was even colder, and she directly grabbed the person's wrist and walked out. Although the fire was huge, fortunately, it was discovered long ago, and most of it was almost extinguished now. He took Su Mu to hide in several places where the fire was still burning,It can be regarded as out of the fire scene without any danger.

    Just when he wanted to let go of Su Mu's wrist and ask why this man is not afraid of death, he found that the little finger of the hand he was holding was covered with a layer of blisters, which looked like it was burned by fire.Traces, his brows twitched violently again.

    After breathing enough fresh air, Su Mu stopped coughing, looked at Liu Xiaoran with eyes that had been coughed up with normal saline, and said persistently: "Then Mrs. Liang's body still has traces of being pushed into the water.Just let her disappear inexplicably."

    Facing such eyes, and hearing these words, Liu Xiaoran felt that the flame in her heart quickly disappeared without a trace.

    Seeing Liu Xiaoran's complex expression, Su Mu felt a little uncomfortable being stared at by him, and quickly added: "I didn't rush in casually, I saw that the fire in the south was almost extinguished, so I thought about it for a while.You can come out from there with the corpse... or find a way out!"

    He considered Liu Xiaoran's expression, and when he wanted to continue talking, Liu Xiaoran shook his head slightly.

    "The one inside is not Liang Xuanxuan's body."

    "Ah?" Now it's Su Mu's turn to be unable to make any sense of the matter. The amount of information in this sentence may not be large, but his brain has just experienced hypoxia, and this will be a bit overwhelming, "What's in there is...?"

    "The corpse in the coffin has been replaced by the adults, and now it is just an empty coffin used by the adults to lure the snake out of the hole. Even if it is burned to ashes, it will be fine." Lu Lingjue watched Liu Xiaoran and Su Mu come out of the fire, this timeIt was only then that I realized why Mo Shu went into the fire without hesitation just now, "Yu Zhi, you are really brave, you just rushed in like this, and you are not afraid that the fire will swallow you up?"

    "I..." Su Mu, who finally understood what happened, suddenly had an inexplicable emotion in his heart. This feeling made him feel more oppressed in his chest and dizzy in his head. He wished he could fall asleep right away, "It turns out thatMaster Liu thought about it a long time ago, it was unnecessary for me to trouble Master Liu to come in and save me."

    He understood from the bottom of his heart that he was not an official family member, and had nothing to do with this matter from the beginning to the end.Disappointment is inevitable.

    Hearing this man's weak words, Liu Xiaoran also felt quite strange in her heart. He didn't intend to hide Su Mu alone, and even Lu Lingjue just knew everything he did.He did all this just because he was used to dealing with these things alone, but he didn't expect Su Mu to rush directly into the scene of fire in order to preserve the evidence.

    He lowered his eyes slightly, and then saw the mottled wound again, and felt a little guilty.

    He always believed in the fact that too many people got in the way, so he didn't want to tell others about his plan, but facing Su Mu who had been working hard to help solve the case these days, he felt that he was really doing something wrong.

    Although Su Mu was not from Dali Temple, he could not only see a lot of strange things from the corpse, but also told everything he knew in detail without any reservation.

    Without his assistance, this case may not have been investigated at all, but I have been hiding it everywhere, and even put him in danger——

    Liu Xiaoran frowned tightly, unexpectedly feeling a bit annoyed towards herself.

    Seeing that Su Mu was not in a good mood, Lu Lingjue still felt that he was frightened, so he quickly stretched out his hand to hold Su Mu's shoulder, checked carefully, and when he saw the wound on his little finger, he opened his mouth and complained: "My lord!, Look, I want you to keep it a secret! Yu Zhi’s hand must have been burned inside, it must have hurt to be burned like this...My lord, you have to take responsibility for this.” He babbled, stillBlowing on the wound.

    Su Mu was slightly taken aback, and just about to explain that the wound wasn't scalded just now, but then he thought about that night, the scene of Liu Xiaoran meticulously making supper for herself in the foggy kitchen, and suddenly choked up again.

    It can't be said that it was burned when the fire was lit. If someone finds out—it would be too embarrassing.

    And... Su Mu carefully glanced at Liu Xiaoran's expression, and felt a little discouraged when he saw that his face was tense and silent.

    At first, I thought that the distance had been shortened a little, but now that I think about it, Liu Xiaoran should still never fully believe in herself.Now that I have added unnecessary work to him for no reason, I might be very angry, so I better not touch his bad luck.

    So in the face of Lu Lingjue's concern, he could only accept it as a trace of a hero, which is not bad.

    When the fire was completely extinguished, none of them could sleep peacefully. It is said that the arsonist was caught by Liu Xiaoran, and he even had a fire pocket in his hand.Su Mu took a closer look at the man who was tied up by five flowers, and he was considered an old acquaintance.

    "It really is him." Su Mu shook his head helplessly, "I didn't expect him to go this far to protect himself."

    Lu Lingjue said rather disgustedly: "This person is no longer a human being. If the adults hadn't arranged in advance this time, and let Li Zhishan come back from the inside to meet him, the third lady and the servant girl who were guarding the spirit in the hall would be the same person.Wait, don't you want to become a wild ghost? I have seen many vicious people, but I am the first one who is merciless towards my family who have been facing each other day and night for so long."
