A light shone in the sky, dispelling the darkness of the night.

Li Xiuran also led his men to search the last location, but the case still made no progress.

Luo Dazhuang and others all walked on the street with depressed expressions and frown.

From time to time, officers and soldiers galloped past. Under the heavy pressure of solving the case within a time limit, the prefect made a ruthless move. Not only did he send out three yamen runners, but he also sent out all the personnel of the inspection department and conducted searches from house to house, which was more careful than Li Xiuran and others.

However, they have not received any notification until now, which only means that the inspection department has gained nothing.

Li Xiuran frowned and thought secretly in his heart. Could it be that his thinking was wrong? Otherwise, how could he find nothing?

Or is the murderer who was more cunning than he expected and hid deeper, and deceived all of them?

If it is the former, how should he adjust his thinking?

If it were the latter, how could he find the murderer when the third yamen runners and the inspection department almost turned over the city and still found nothing?

Li Xiuran racked his brains and thought for a long time, but he still had no idea.

Luo Dazhuang said dejectedly: "I've been busy all night and my legs are almost running thin, but I didn't find anything. How can I investigate this case?"

"The case is only three days, one night has passed, and now there are only two and a half days left, and there are no clues at all. How can the case be solved in such a little time? I think we will definitely be bound to punish this punishment."

"We are just dereliction of duty, so we shouldn't beheaded, right?"

Wu Songshan and others also sighed.

Li Xiuran withdrew his thoughts, glanced at everyone, and said, "Okay, it's only been one night, and there are still two and a half days, what are you saying despicable words.

Before the last moment, any situation could happen. Maybe some clues were suddenly discovered and the case was solved directly?

After checking all night, everyone has worked hard.                                                                                                                          

The chaotic situation did not affect the pace of life in the city. As soon as the sky was dawn, restaurants opened early, and vendors setting up stalls appeared on the streets, starting a new day of work.

Li Xiuran casually found a stall and took Luo Dazhuang and others over and said, "I'll treat you what you want to eat."

"Hehe, thank you, boss."

"Boss, give me a bowl of soup cakes."

"I want a bowl of wontons, and then I'll get a bun."

After a hard night, everyone was already hungry. When they heard that they could have a meal, Wu Songshan and others' depressed mood also rebounded. They ordered breakfast.

Li Xiuran also ordered a bowl of soup cakes, and then continued to think about the case.

What exactly is the problem?

Did you really make a mistake in your judgment?

Or was the murderer hiding deeper, so that he was confused during their investigation?

Or... he missed some details?

Luo Dazhuang and others were bored and began to communicate the case.

"You guys say, who will the murderer be? The whole city is almost searching, why can't there be any clues found?"

"Who knows that the demons are weird. Maybe there is a method to hide their whereabouts."

"Even if the murderer has the means to hide his whereabouts, he should show his strength when the whole city is raiding, right?"

"Is it possible that the murderer is not a demon, but a normal monk? We are wrong, so we can't find clues?"

"Impossible. Only demons can suck human blood and practice. If the murderer is not a demon, why should he suck the blood of the two guards dry?" Wu Songshan said confidently.

Li Xiuran, who was just clueless, suddenly heard this sentence, his brows suddenly tightened, raised his head and stared at Wu Songshan, and said in a deep voice: "What did you say just now?"

Wu Songshan was stunned: "I, what did I say?"

"It's the last sentence."

"The murderer isn't a demon?"

"It's not this sentence, it's the next sentence."

"Then why did he suck the blood of those two guards?"

"That's the sentence!"

Li Xiuran's eyes lit up instantly, and he vaguely grasped the key points. He felt that his previous thinking had fallen into a misunderstanding. After inspecting the scene last night, he felt that there were too few clues, so he focused on finding new clues, and then made a breakthrough in this way, ignoring the analysis and reasoning of existing clues.

After the survey last night, he had already obtained two clues.

First, both guards were killed by one blow, which means that the murderer is very powerful and his cultivation should be above the two guards. Even so, he still chose to attack, which means that he wants to fight quickly and does not want to waste time, so as not to cause accidents.

For this reason, after being discovered by two witnesses, he did not even choose to silence his mouth, but immediately fled away, which also confirmed this.

2. The blood in the two guards was sucked dry.

Since the murderer chose to attack sneakily, he didn't even choose to silence him after being discovered, just didn't want to waste time, so why did he waste time and suck the blood of the two guards?

You know, those are two human bodies, not one basin or a bowl of water, just pour it on.

It would take at least some time to suck the blood of the two bodies, at least it would be more troublesome than to destroy the mouths of two ordinary witnesses.

But he did not silence him. Without wanting to waste time, he would rather spend time than suck the blood of the two guards dry. His behavior was obviously abnormal.

He has absolutely no purpose for doing this!

And this purpose is definitely not for practice. If it is for practice, he can wait until afterwards to slaughter some people as the target. With the strength of the murderer, this is not difficult.

There is no need to waste time sucking blood and practicing while thinking about a quick battle.

The only reason why he had to do this was that he wanted to cover up something, and what he wanted to cover up should be just enough to prove his identity!

Or at least it can point the way for the case!

Then...what exactly is he trying to cover up?

While trying to fight quickly, he would rather waste time than suck the blood of the two guards dry. Could it be that what he wanted to cover up was the blood of the two guards?

Can……

How can the blood of the two prove the identity of the murderer?

This is not a previous life, nor is there any blood identification technology.

Li Xiuran frowned, his brain teasers turned rapidly, and devoted himself to it. He focused on one possibility after another. At the same time, combined with some knowledge accumulated in his previous life, his thoughts kept flying.

Suddenly, a light of inspiration flashed through Li Xiuran's mind. He remembered a possibility, which instantly made his eyes lit up. Then he suddenly stood up, raised his foot and left.

Luo Dazhuang and others were all stunned.

"Boss, you haven't eaten yet, why are you going?"

“Investigate the case.”

Li Xiuran said without looking back: "Two people come with me, and the others will continue to eat your meal."

"Ah? Boss, what have you thought of again?" Wu Songshan was happy on his face and volunteered: "I'll go with you."

Luo Dazhuang also stood up and wanted to follow him, but looking at the soup cake he had just served on the table, he had not had time to eat, a trace of confusion flashed in his eyes. Finally, he bit his teeth and bite it, without feeling hot. He picked up the bowl and slapped it twice, killed half of the bowl at once, and then threw it down and chased after him.
