When Lin Haoming arrived at Gu Qiao's residence, it was already surrounded by people.
A few days ago, Yan Yuzhang, who was in retreat just now, was already here, and Xiao Yu was asking about the situation here.
Gu Zhu died here last night, and when Nian Bojun sent people here, the people of the Vine Demon Clan found him dead in his room.
The place where Gu Zhu lives, like Lin Haoming, is a high tower in Black Mountain City. However, it is slightly different from Lin Haoming in that the high tower is guarded by people from the Black Mountain Army. Even if the Vine Demon Clan has guards, they are only in the tower.
guard.
However, neither the Black Mountain Army nor the Vine Demon Tribe themselves discovered that Gu Zhu had fallen. This was really surprising. After all, under such guard, a monk in the Void Refining Stage fell silently.
The horror of this person is beyond words.
Because Nian Bojun was the first to discover it, and immediately came back to notify him after discovering it, so when Lin Haoming arrived, Yan Yuzhang had actually arrived not long ago, and even Gu Zhu's corpse had not been processed, or in other words, there was no way to deal with it.
Because his body was always being guarded, neither Nian Bojun nor Xiao Yu could get close to it.
The reason for this is that Gu Zhu's body was guarded by a female cultivator from the Vine Demon Clan who looked very tall.
This female cultivator, Lin Haoming, has never been seen before, but her cultivation level is much higher than that of Gu Zhu, and she has reached the peak of the Void Refining Stage.
After Lin Haoming arrived here, he learned from Nian Bojun that this woman was Gu Qiao's fiancée, and she seemed to be the daughter of the chief of a large tribe of the Vine Demon Clan. She had been staying here after discovering Gu Qiao's death. At the same time, he
He also learned from Yan Yuzhang that even he would not let this female cultivator get close to Gu Zhu.
The woman's name is Lihua, a name commonly used by mortal women in the human race. Although they are of different races, the appearance of this pear blossom can be said to be extremely beautiful. Even with a light green complexion, it can still attract the attention of many human monks, but
At this moment, she was just sitting quietly in front of Gu Zhu's body.
When Lin Haoming approached, she just glanced at Lin Haoming and asked lightly: "Are you Lin Haoming?"
The woman's voice was a little low, just like her cold look at the moment.
"Yes!" Lin Haoming nodded.
When Lin Haoming admitted, Lihua finally stood up, glanced at the others, and still said coldly: "Everyone else, go out, I want to talk to Lin Haoming."
Logically speaking, there are Yan Yuzhang and Xiao Yu here. They are both monks in the integration stage, and they are also the governor and the county magistrate. They should not leave, but the fall of Gu Zhu obviously makes them feel very troublesome. This matter will be very serious if they are not careful.
It may cause conflict between the two races, and then they will bear a lot of responsibility.
So after Lihua spoke, Yan Yuzhang did not hesitate and immediately left with Xiao Yu, taking the others with him.
After everyone left, Lihua immediately cast a restraining spell to prevent others from eavesdropping on the conversation inside.
Seeing her acting like this, Lin Haoming became more and more suspicious, not knowing what was going on.
"Fellow Daoist Lin, Gu Zhu came to see you a few days ago, right?" Lihua asked directly after waiting for the means of protection last night.
"Not bad, what? Does this matter have anything to do with me?" Lin Haoming asked in surprise.
"No, I just made sure some things. I arrived after Gu Zhu arrived, so when he first arrived, he didn't know some things. Since Gu Zhu came to see you as soon as he arrived here, I guess you can be regarded as his first choice among the human race.
The most trustworthy person among us!" Lihua said.
"I dare not do this!" Lin Haoming said.
"You can check the cause of Gu Jiao's death first!" When Lihua said Gu Jiao, she gave the impression that he was not her fiancé, but just an ordinary stranger.
Lin Haoming didn't know what the relationship was between them. Gu Zhu died here, so he naturally wanted to find out, so he walked over to check it out.
Gu Zhu's body was still very intact. Even if he hadn't known that he had died, it would have been as if he had fallen asleep. Moreover, when he died, his face still maintained an expression that seemed to be extremely satisfied, which looked very strange.
"This...he didn't suffer any external injuries. Could it be that his soul was directly destroyed?" Lin Haoming asked hesitantly after a thorough inspection.
At this moment, Lihua once again sat directly in front of Gu Zhu's body and said: "Fellow Daoist Lin is right. Gu Zhu was not only plotted against, but also directly killed by someone using illusions. Now that Gu Zhu's death has not been reported back, once
After the news is spread back, coupled with the recent conflicts, I am afraid that the relationship between the two tribes will become completely tense, and even a conflict between the two tribes is not impossible."
"Who do you think would do such a thing?" Lin Haoming asked.
"I don't know. There are many people who would do it. People in his tribe who are dissatisfied with him, people in your human race who deliberately create conflicts, and even people in other realms who want to see the conflict between our two races are all possible. But the only way I can
It is certain that the person who did this is a monk in the Void Refining Stage!" Lihua said.
"Why do monks in the Void Refining Stage say that?" Lin Haoming asked.
"This person is proficient in illusions, but Gu Zhu is not an ordinary monk, so although he was defeated in the end, Gu Zhu tried his best to resist before his fall, and inspired some secret techniques. It's just because of the difference in race, so Lin Daoyou, you
I didn't see it!" Lihua explained calmly.
Lin Haoming really didn't know whether what Lihua said was true or not. After all, Gu Zhu was dead. But if what she said was true and it was just a monk in the Void Refining Stage who did it, it would be even more difficult to deduce the person who did it. After all, a monk in the Fusion Stage,
There are only a dozen or so in the entire Black Mountain County, but there are not even ten thousand but several thousand cultivators in the Void Refining Stage. Adding in those who are hidden and those who travel around, it becomes even more difficult to start.
"Do you feel embarrassed, Fellow Daoist Lin?" Lihua saw Lin Haoming's helpless expression and asked.
Lin Haoming smiled bitterly and said: "If you are looking for the murderer of Gu Zhu, Lin would really find it difficult to find him."
"I also know, but if I were you, Daoist Lin, you could choose a target that you think is a headache, and then he would be the murderer!" Lihua said.
When Lin Haoming suddenly heard this, he was stunned and asked somewhat unimaginably: "You don't care who is the real murderer?"
"If I say that Gu Zhu's death is a good thing for me, do you believe it or not?" Lihua asked.
"How do you say this?" Lin Haoming said feeling a little surprised.
"Because I am against this marriage!" Lihua said simply.
"Object to this marriage!" Lin Haoming looked at Lihua. Although he didn't know much about the Vine Demon Clan, Lin Haoming believed that if he found someone to investigate, the Heavenly Demon Guard must have a source of information about the Vine Demon Clan, and Gu Zhu and
A person like Lihua must have a lot of information. Lihua’s dissatisfaction with the marriage must not be hidden from others. And since Guqiao’s death is beneficial to her, could she be the one who killed Guqiao?
After thinking about it, Lin Haoming came up with an incredible idea. (To be continued.)
