When Shangguan Shenhao, the head of Shangguan family, rushed to Zuihualou Songzhu Pavilion, the place had been burned to a white ground.
There was nothing left except some indestructible green bricks.
At this time, Shen Zhou, the proprietor of the Zuihua Tower, Cao Xuan of the Qianhu of the Jinyi Guards, and Li Guangyu, the chief arrester of the Six Gates of Xiushui County, had all arrived before him.
"There's nothing left here."
County Lieutenant Shen Zhou turned back and glanced at Shangguan Shenhao: "All the corpses were burned to ashes in a very short time. There are no clues at the scene. However, your son and two of my family's sixth-grade martial arts cultivators should have died. .”
He then clasped his fists towards a young man wearing a silver-white battle armor behind Shangguan Shenhao: "Could it be Mr. Chu, the loyal general, in person? Mr. Shen is polite."
Behind Shangguan Shenhao, Chu Xuangjie also cupped his fists and responded: "Master Shen!"
He looked around intently, with an inquiring look in his eyes.
Chuxuan Festival came to Xiushui two days ago.
He stayed in Linhai County for more than a month, but failed to investigate the case of Chu Zhengyang's attack and murder. He had to give up temporarily and went to Xiushui County to visit friends.
Unexpectedly, only two days later, there would be such a tragedy as the Shangguan family's legitimate son and dozens of his followers were killed.
Shangguan Shenhao's face turned pale as he walked to a wall and looked at the dark brown marks on it.
This is the master room of Songzhu Pavilion. The blood on it must be Shangguan Longjian's.
"It's not like there are no clues at all."
Qianhu Cao Xuan put his hands behind his back and thought thoughtfully: "All the gold and silver here have been taken away, all the corpses have been destroyed, and there are not many traces of battles at the scene. At that time, there were six seventh-grade people inside Zuihua Tower, two They were all killed by one blow. According to the confessions of those in the main building of Zuihua Building, they didn't even make a sound.
This reminds me of the Longjia Warehouse case a few months ago. The two cases are somewhat similar. Both cases were resolved in a very short period of time. Both gold, silver and magic weapons were taken away, and both cases were destroyed afterwards. The corpse was removed. Of course, all this could be a coincidence. This time the murderer did not use corpse-dissolving water, and there was no inscription on the Blood Wind Thief."
Chu Xuangjie's expression changed when he heard this.
In Xiushui County, some people also use corpse water to destroy corpses and eliminate traces?
It is very common in rivers and lakes to use corpse-dissolving water to destroy corpses, but I don’t know what the recipe is?
Xuangjie of Chu had heard of the Long family from Xiushui County.
This is a newly rising local wealthy family with considerable strength.
Long's warehouse must have at least a sixth-grade martial artist in charge.
This perpetrator could kill a low-level sixth-grade martial artist in an instant, and he was also capable of killing his clan brother Chu Zhengyang.
Chu Xuangjie couldn't help but narrowed his eyes, thinking that he could ask Li Guangyu for a file on the Long's Warehouse case later to see what happened.
Li Guangyu, the chief catcher of Six Doors, picked up a piece of iron in the corner that had seeped into the cracks in the floor tiles.
"These iron blocks are made from the locust crossbow's arrows melting into iron juice and seeping into the floor tiles to cool down. And here, they are made from the melting of swords and hammers. They are made of different materials. I looked around. , it is inferred that the murderer who killed Mr. Shangguan has a cultivation level between the seventh and eighth grades."
Cao Xuan couldn't help but narrowed his eyes: "In other words, the murderers this time are two people? No, there is also the technique of burning the sword into iron juice, it may also be three people."
Shangguan Shenhao listened quietly until Cao Xuan and Li Guangyu couldn't explain anything anymore, so he raised his fists towards them: "Thank you for your hard work. I hope you two will do your best in the case of the dog's death. We will wait until the truth about this case comes to light."
, I will prepare a banquet with wine to reward you two."
In the case of Shangguan Longjian's death, he will definitely not rely solely on the Six Doors and the Jinyi Guards. The Shangguan family must do their best to find the murderer in order to wash away this shame.
Shangguan Shenhao cupped his fists and saluted the Commander-in-Chief Shen Zhou again: "I'm in a hurry, Commander-in-Chief, please forgive me!"
Then he led a group of people and walked out like a dragon and a tiger.
"Notice to go ahead and seal off the ancient market tonight and search for suspicious people in the town! Determine as soon as possible how many fifth-grade and fourth-grade people are on the ground in Xiushui County. Also, go and ask the Tieguan Sanren from Yunsongguan in Xishan to come over. His
That natal spirit beast is good at tracking and finding traces——"
Shangguan Shenhao was giving orders to several of his trusted family generals when he found a figure kneeling in front of him.
"Are you Shangguanyuan?"
Shangguan Shenhao narrowed his narrow willow eyes slightly, then walked up to Shangguan Yuan with his hands behind his back and expressionless: "Your master is dead, why didn't you go to accompany him?"
Cold sweat suddenly broke out on Shangguan Yuan's forehead: "Master! At the moment of the incident, the villain was planning for the young master to kill Chu Xisheng of the Zhengyang Martial Arts Hall. He was not in the Songzhu Hall."
"Zhengyang Martial Arts School Chu Xisheng?"
Shangguan Shenhao thought for a moment: "Is it the newly promoted Qingyun Tianjiao? Is it to compete for the chief position of the True Legend?"
Shangguan Yuan kowtowed three times on the ground: "Exactly! Before the incident, I had contacted Baiyun Village and asked them to kill someone. At that time, I was on the order of the young master to withdraw money from the account and pay the deposit."
Chu Xuangjie followed behind, and his expression changed slightly when he heard the words.
Chu Xisheng?
This Chu Xisheng was also present at the last battle in the Ninth Grade Secret Realm.
However, since this son came out of the secret realm, he has been with the people of the Zhou family, and there is no way he could do anything to Chu Zhengyang.
In addition, this person is also a subordinate of Cao Xuan and the newly promoted deputy 100 households of Jinyiwei.
Judging from his life experience, he is quite innocent.
Unexpectedly, this person was related to the Shangguan family case.
"I have heard of this boy, a very fine young man."
Shangguan Shenhao's eyes were dazed for a moment, and then he chuckled: "In Xiushui County, we haven't had such a high-ranking Qingyun genius for a long time. But my children were also expected to be geniuses, and they also have a bright future -"
His cold eyes gradually softened: "Since it is the last wish of the child Long Jian, then you are responsible for completing this matter and don't let him leave with regrets. If he wants Chu Xisheng to die, then let this person
Go down and accompany him. As soon as possible!"
Upon hearing this, Shangguan Yuan kowtowed heavily and made a muffled sound.
At this time, his back was soaked with cold sweat.
Shangguan Yuan knew that he had temporarily escaped death, but when he raised his head full of luck, Shangguan Shenhao had already left for a long time.
Shangguan Yuan's eyes then showed a sharp look.
The so-called ‘as soon as possible’ means that the sooner the better——
※※※※
Chu Xisheng and the others threw all the magical weapons they brought out in the middle of the Shenxiu River.
The gold and silver were taken by Chu Yunyun and melted into two balls of silver and gold with flames.
In fact, there is not much gold and silver, only more than two thousand taels in total.
After all, it was a brothel and there wasn't much cash.
Afterwards, the two took a bath in the river to wash away the odor-masking drugs on their bodies, and changed into clean clothes.
By the time they returned to Zhengyang Martial Arts Hall, it was already dark.
After Chu Yunyun returned, she continued to retreat to condense the true talisman.
December 20th is the real test, and she has to be promoted to the eighth rank before this day.
This not only determines her qualifications to enter the Divine Weapon Academy with Chu Xisheng, but also affects the Suanni spirit evil spirit.
Only when the Suani she simulates is more complete can she be able to activate the Suani.
So I didn't even bother about the flagpole.
Chu Xisheng went out as if nothing had happened and went to the disciples' residence to look for brothers Hu Lai and Hu Kan.
In recent days, his martial arts points have been rising more and more slowly.
Chu Xisheng thought about it again and again and decided that she could no longer wait passively.
At this time, he had almost digested the harvest from the previous ninth-level secret realm, and only three Lingtian Pills that could enhance the power of spiritual thoughts were left.
However, his martial arts foundation has been firmly established again.
Now it's time to think of a way to get more martial arts points.
