The truth is obviously not as simple as Xiao Yan imagined, otherwise after so many days, Hao Yun and they would not have found no clues.

In fact, after hearing that Ling Xuan was missing, Xiao Yan's first suspicion was Shan Weifeng, who had a holiday with them, because Shan Weifeng had been peeking at Ling Xuan's beauty, but he couldn't know where to start, so his motive was the greatest.

But the reason for deceiving Ling Xuan was Xiao Yan's disappearance, and the people who knew Ling Xuan's thoughts about him should only be known by the 9 people who were with them, and Shan Weifeng should not know, but Xiao Yan never understood, with Ling Xuan's wisdom, he shouldn't have thrown himself into the net just because of such a specious piece of blood cloth, could there be any details that they ignored?

The victims this time are all women, and they have not left any traces after their disappearance, so if this is not an acquaintance who committed the crime, so that everyone has no defense, or the murderer is thoughtful and has disposed of all the clues, no matter what the possibility is, it proves that this murderer is an extremely cunning character.

Xiao Yan asked Hao Yun to go back to investigate the information of those missing girls, especially who he had been in contact with before his disappearance, what abnormal things he had said, and what things he had done that were different from usual, including what reactions of the people around them had after the disappearance, all of which Hao Yun recorded one by one, while he himself stayed here to continue the investigation.

In the woods of Nuoda, there was only Xiao Yan alone, surrounded by towering trees and bamboo forests, a gust of wind blew, the leaves "whoosh" sounded, and a few leaves slowly fell with a breeze, falling on Xiao Yan's shoulders, in this dark night it seemed so depressed and lonely.

Xiao Yan stretched out his hand, took off the slender bamboo leaf on his shoulder, and put it in the palm of his hand, the turquoise color set off the white palm, which looked particularly beautiful under the flickering firelight, he sandwiched the bamboo leaf between his index finger and middle finger, rotated his fingers, and looked at the flame in his hand, observing the different colors on the front and back.

One side is the emerald green that has been moistened by the sun for a long time, and the other side is the tender green that can never see the light, the same leaf, different colors, just like people, there is a bright side, there is also a dark side, in the face of different people, there will be different sides, you can never know how many faces others have, and others cannot understand how many faces you have.

Bamboo leaves...... Bamboo leaves...... Bamboo leaves!

Right! It's bamboo leaves!

The clue that he has been ignoring all along, is Bamboo Leaf!

Although there are many bamboo leaves on the ground of this forest, the time when each bamboo leaf falls is different, and Ling Xuan is here to find him, no matter who the other party is, even if it is an acquaintance, with her vigilance, she will not be easily captured, she will definitely make a move with that person, once she does it, Ling Xuan will definitely draw her sword, then there will definitely be leaves left nearby that have been cut off by the sword qi, no matter how careful the murderer is, it is impossible to destroy all the leaves.

Of course, there are many leaves on the ground, and it is absolutely impossible for Xiao Yan to look for them one by one, so it depends on the time, according to Hao Yun's description, it should have been 5 days since Ling Xuan disappeared, and the leaves that generally fall on the ground will turn completely yellow in 5-7 days, and they will become dry after more than 7 days, due to the dampness of the woods, this time may be extended, so Xiao Yan only needs to find the leaves that have turned yellow or have a trace of green inside, but are not completely dry.

Everywhere Xiao Yan walked, he looked for this kind of yellow-colored, but not dry leaves under the trees nearby, since it was a fight, there would not be only one or two leaves falling, and maybe even on an inconspicuous tree, there would be residual traces of fighting.

Everywhere he passed, he would grab a handful of withered yellow leaves from the ground, roughly sweep them over their roots, and see if there were any horizontal and smooth facets, and by the way, one by one, one by one, the bamboos, swept one by one, without letting go of any clues.

It has been 5 days since Ling Xuan disappeared, and it will be the sixth day soon, the best time to find a person after she disappears is one day, after a day, the clues will be easily destroyed, and it will become more difficult to find someone, not to mention that it has been five or six days now, and I don't know if Ling Xuan is still alive in this world, in short, the sooner she is found, the greater the chance of her survival.

The wind continued to blow, the sky was already a little white, this night, Xiao Yan had no gain, the scope was too wide, and the clues were too small, this was simply looking for a needle in a haystack, but no matter how small the odds, Xiao Yan had to look for it, if he lived to see someone, he had to see him when he died...... Corpse!

Poof! ~Yes!

Xiao Yan was fascinated by it, he didn't notice his feet, he suddenly fell and ate, and his body lay straight on the ground, although there were many leaves on the ground as a buffer, but it was still a little painful, mainly his chin, and his chin hit the ground hard, fortunately he closed his mouth in time, otherwise his tongue would have to be bitten off.

Xiao Yan rubbed his chin that was almost flattened, fortunately it was only painful, and there was no blood, otherwise he would have broken his appearance! is not very handsome in the first place, and once he breaks his appearance, what should Xun'er do if he dislikes him?

Thinking of this, Xiao Yan stood up in annoyance, "I want to see what it is that dares to trip you and me!" ”

He squatted on the ground, pulled away the leaves on the upper layer, looking for the culprit who tripped him down, and pulled the thick leaves away, the things in front of him made Xiao Yan stunned, he originally thought it would be a stone or something, but he didn't expect it to be half a piece of bamboo left by being cut down!

Only a small section of the bamboo was left outside the soil, covered with thick leaves, which was usually difficult to find, if it hadn't tripped Xiao Yan today, Xiao Yan probably wouldn't have found it.

"Cut, a piece of bamboo, I thought it was! A single piece of bamboo dares to trip me, damn it! Xiao Yan suddenly became playful and stomped on the half of the bamboo.

"Oh~!"

As a result, instead of stepping on the bamboo, Xiao Yan was choked by the bamboo, and he screamed in pain.

"Forget it, I'm not as strong as a broken bamboo!" Xiao Yan, who suffered a loss, had no choice but to give up, and after giving the half of the bamboo a roll of the eyes, he continued to move forward.

Soon, the sun had reached the top of the head, the blazing sunlight passed through the layers of leaves, and reached Xiao Yan's body below, the sky was getting hotter and hotter, the water vapor on the ground evaporated, and the whole forest was now like a big steamer, stuffy and hot.

The hot Xiao Yan was sweating all over, he took off all the clothes on his body, leaving only a short trousers, and his upper body was naked, revealing his thin but very strong body, long-term cultivation in the wild, creating his bronzed skin, and the scars on his body one after another are his meritorious commendations over the years, and there is a profound story behind each one.

He sat on the ground, leaning against a tree trunk that was not very thick, took out a kettle, took a sip, and glanced at the half of the bamboo that emerged from the many leaves not far away, this half of the bamboo was as thick as a wrist, and had completely withered yellow, which showed that it had been cut down a long time ago, and the bamboo had a slanted mouth on it, and the mouth was uneven, so it could be seen that it had been cut down after many cuts.

Because of its hollow structure, bamboo is mostly used by people to divert water, and because of its tough texture, it is the main material for making many mechanical crossbows, so it is often cut down by people, but after this forest is under the jurisdiction of the Temple of Light, no one dares to cut it down, so this withered yellow half of the bamboo should still be cut down many years ago.

Thinking of this, a bright light flashed in Xiao Yan's mind, and his intuition told him that this thing was very important, he looked at the half of the bamboo in front of him, and suddenly had a flash of inspiration.

That's right! It's bamboo!
