On a dark and windy night, when the murder was committed and the fire was set, the night was getting thicker. The black clothes crossed the wall and reached the courtyard. The moonlight reflected the cold light of the knife surface, bringing with it a strong murderous aura.

The strong body took a glance at the moonlight and went straight to the wing.

She crossed the window sill lightly and walked to the bed like a cat. The graceful figure of the woman looked particularly enchanting on the bed.

There was a flash of cold light, and the long knife stabbed down suddenly.

The person on the bed dodged the knife like a fish, turned over and sat up.

With a "clang", the swords collided and sparks flew everywhere. Li Xinran stood up and slashed with the sword. The black shadow quickly raised his sword to block, but was knocked to the ground by the move.

As soon as the fire started, Luo Baibai stood at the door with his servants.

The black cloth was removed, revealing an ordinary face that was no longer ordinary.

"Li Hu!" Someone among the government officials shouted in surprise.

Li Xinran looked over in confusion, and the yamen officer quickly reported: "Sir, this is Li Hu, the yamen officer on shift..."

Li Xinran raised his eyebrows and looked at Luo Baibai. When Li Hu's scarf fell off, Luo Baibai's face turned livid.

"Li Hu! Tell me! When did you become a fine craftsman!"

Li Hu raised his head and looked at Luo Baibai: "Sir..." As soon as he said two words, his face became very ugly, and his facial features were distorted, as if he was enduring pain. Suddenly, with a "pop", he vomited out a mouthful of black blood. come out.

Li Hu's eyes widened, as if he didn't expect that he would end up like this. He made a "ho ho" sound in his mouth, fell to the ground, twitching, and lost his life after a while.

Li Xinran looked at the dead Li Hu in silence, and said after a moment of silence: "In that case, do you still want to follow that person wholeheartedly?"

She looked behind the screen. Namusha, who had her acupoints tapped, was sitting on a chair, looking at Li Xinran motionless.

Li Xinran walked over and unlocked Namusha's acupuncture points.

After Namusha breathed a few times, she raised her eyes to look at Li Xinran, her eyes lowered: "Tang Ran, his name is Tang Ran, he is... the younger one, general. He takes care of us."

Li Xinran lowered his eyes and looked at Namusha: "Namusha, raise your head and look at me."

Namusha took a breath, raised her eyes, and looked at Li Xinran intently.

"Where is he now?"

"No, I know, he will come and go by himself."

"What does he look like?"

"On the left side, there is a mole on the face and a scar on the corner of the mouth."

"What exactly does it look like?"

"On the left side, on the face, there is a mole on the cheek, and there is a scar on the corner of the mouth."

Li Xinran smiled, waved to the government officials to take Namusha away, turned around and left the room.

Luo Baibai followed: "Girl, I'm going to draw the prisoner's portrait right now. I believe he can be arrested and brought to justice soon."

"I can't catch it."

"Ah?" Luo Baibai expressed his incomprehension, "The female spy has given such detailed information, why can't we catch him? I can inform Mr. Zhizhou and issue an arrest order."

Li Xinran sneered: "Who told you that she was telling the truth?"

"Ah? You've all seen this kind of murder and silence, and you're still hiding it?" Luo Baibai said he didn't understand.

Li Xinran walked into the courtyard and looked up at the sky: "You don't understand Xirong people," her eyes were deep, as if she could see the border where she grew up through the sky.

"Each of their tribes are separated from each other. Only when they have nothing to eat or drink will they share the same hatred and go south to attack Chu. But among their individual tribes, they are very particular about loyalty. Their totem belief is the wolf, cunning and A loyal guy. When the alpha wolf fails, the other wolves will tear him into pieces without hesitation, but as long as the alpha wolf doesn't lose, no wolf will choose to betray."

"That's really true. It's a pity. I don't know if General Xiao will gain anything." Luo Baibai smacked his lips in regret.

Li Xinran smiled softly: "I would have forgotten it if you didn't tell me. Find the painter and combine the news from our side with the news from General Xiao. I believe there will be a lot of gains."

"Ah? You, didn't you say you couldn't catch it?" Luo Baibai didn't understand.

"I only have one-fifth of the clues, how can I possibly catch it." Li Xinran looked at Luo Baibai with a smile, with some compassion that Luo Baibai could understand.

"You... how do you know?"

"The border officers have been fighting wits and courage with the Xirong people for so long. You don't think we can only use torture to extract confessions, right?" Li Xinran asked with raised eyebrows.

Luo Baibai smiled coquettishly: "Please ask the girl to clarify my doubts."

Li Xinran smiled: "According to the observations of our military advisers from generation to generation, when people lie, their eyes will look up, then to the right or upper right, and when telling the truth, they will look up and to the left. Also Some other little habits, such as taking deep breaths after lying, breathing harder when you are nervous, etc... There are many strange habits. But the most useful one is to look left and right. I only remember this one. ." Li Xinran waved his hand indifferently, "You have to learn more about this kind of thing. It's useless to just listen to people and try to take shortcuts. Find a painter quickly."

Luo Baibai sighed twice and hurriedly went to find the painter.

After a long while, the Yamen servant announced that Xiao Yinchu had returned with his people.

Li Xinran hurriedly greeted him.

As soon as he arrived at the door, he saw Xiao Yinchu carrying Zhu Yuanwai who was so scared that he was paralyzed like a dead pig.

"How is it?" Li Xinran came up to greet him, glanced at Zhu Yuanwai and asked.

"I almost succeeded," Xiao Yinchu mentioned Zhu Yuanwai, "Fortunately, although he is fat, he is still flexible in critical situations."

Li Xinran raised the corner of her mouth: "Have you been caught?"

Xiao Yinchu shook his head: "He's dead. He died as soon as he was caught before he could say a word."

Li Xinran frowned: "The enemy is very cunning."

"Fortunately," Xiao Yinchu sighed and said, "What I'm worried about is not this cunning rat, but how many of these rats there are in the border town."

Li Xinran glanced at the corner: "When you find a mouse at home, there may be a nest of mice in your room."

"Master Xiao, I would like to welcome Master Xiao back home." A sudden voice interrupted.

Li Xinran looked back and saw Luo Baibai running over with disheveled clothes and messy hair. She rolled her eyes: "It's difficult for you, Mr. Luo, to sleep."

Luo Baibai chuckled: "The lower official knows his mistake, the lower official knows his mistake."

Li Xinran was too lazy to pay attention to him and looked at Xiao Yinchu: "The painter is still with me, how many clues do you have?"

Xiao Yinchu smiled and mentioned Zhu Yuanwai: "How many clues do I have, I still have to look at him."

Li Xinran smiled: "Let's go," and then turned to look at Luo Baibai, "Master Luo, take a rest early, you have to go to court tomorrow."

"Shengtang? Do you want to interrogate Mr. Zhu?"

"No," Li Xinran smiled, "I hope Yuanwai's matter can come to an end. As the plaintiff, we still have to sue you about Shopkeeper Jiang."
