These two tragic cases of heart-robbing young girls were suppressed by Gu Jianchi.
After all, there are currently two to three hundred thousand cultivators from various sects stationed near Cangyun Mountain. It is normal for a few people to die because of personal hatred.
But I never expected that even the disciples of Cangyun Sect would be poisoned by the other party.
Once this matter involves Cangyun Sect, it will become a big deal.
Gu Jianchi said: "When was Wei Shang killed?"
Sun Yao said: "According to the news from Lihuo Peak, Wei Shang took a shift this afternoon and was responsible for the defense work in the southeast of Lihuo Peak.
She went to work shift in the back mountain in the afternoon.
At dusk, Li Huofeng's disciples went to pick her up as a secret sentry, and when they arrived, they discovered that Wei Shang was already dead.
The body was still warm and the time of death would not have exceeded half an hour.
The nearest hidden whistle to her was only over a hundred feet away, but the disciple did not hear any fighting or strange noises.
Wei Shang was like a mountain ghost hidden in the forest, whose heart was ripped out silently.
And he was killed instantly.
Wei Shang is at the peak level of out-of-body cultivation. He can kill with one strike. He has not attracted the attention of the disciples a hundred feet away. This person's cultivation is unfathomable."
Gu Jianchi's face became a little darker.
He said: "I thought this matter was just an isolated case. Master has been in a bad mood recently, so I never reported such a trivial matter to him.
Now that the disciple of Cangyun Sect is dead, this matter cannot be suppressed.
Three young girls died in three days. The death was horrific, the method of death was bizarre, and they all died in Cangyun Mountain. There may be a huge conspiracy hidden in this matter.
I will report this matter to Master immediately, Junior Brother Sun, you go back and ask your wife what she thinks about this matter."
Sun Yao nodded.
The two parted ways at the gate of the monastic discipline.
Meihezi was in the lobby of the Discipline Academy. She saw Sun Yao and Gu Jianchi whispering outside from a distance, but she did not dare to disturb them.
When Sun Yao came in, she saw that her husband looked wrong, so she immediately stepped forward and said, "Brother Yao, what's wrong?"
Sun Yao didn't answer, but just said: "Let's talk about it when we go back to the house."
The two returned to the inner room, and Sun Yao closed the door.
Then he asked Miheko about the recent spate of incidents of heart poaching of young girls.
Meihezi said: "I already know the news about the accident at Lihuo Peak. Brother Yao, judging from the locations of the three cases, the perpetrator is most likely on Samsara Peak!"
Sun Yao's expression changed drastically and he said: "What?"
Meihezi said: "These three murders and heart-stealing incidents occurred in the northeast, east, and south of Samsara Peak respectively. They are only about ten miles away from Samsara Peak. There is a high possibility that the murderer is on Samsara Peak.
However, it is very difficult to investigate. We have tens of thousands of disciples in Samsara Peak, and there are at least 15,000 expatriate disciples living on Samsara Peak. Dragons and snakes are mixed together, and there are so many people coming in and out that it is almost impossible to investigate.
"
Sun Yao said: "Then we have to investigate. There is such a heart-eating demon in Cangyun Mountain, and there will be endless troubles. I don't know how many people the other party will kill.
Moreover, this matter can no longer be concealed. Once spread, it will have a great impact on the reputation of our Cangyun Sect.
Mihezi, you are smart, do you have any ideas?"
Mihezi walked slowly in the room, lost in thought.
After a moment, he said: "Brother Yao, you are right, this devil must be found out, otherwise it will cause huge panic.
In the first two cases of exhumation, it was almost impossible to investigate because the bodies were discovered very late.
But in the Lihuofeng tragedy today, the other party left a loophole."
Sun Yao said: "What's the flaw?"
Meihezi said: "In the first two tragedies, the victims were all female disciples sent abroad, and they were both not outstanding women. It would be difficult for the disciples to find them after missing for a day or two.
This time is different. Junior Sister Wei Shang is the secret sentry arranged by Li Huofeng at the foot of the mountain. The secret sentry of Cangyun Gate rotates every three hours. At most, Li Huofeng will find out about this matter every three hours.
Judging from the current timeline, the first victim should be the nun from the nunnery, but her body was found two hundred miles away from the nunnery.
The second victim's body was only four miles away from her sect's headquarters.
The third victim today died directly at the foot of Lihuofeng.
The first two victims were both killed late at night, but Wei Shang was killed this afternoon.
This is the flaw.
The other party's murderous pace quickened.
When he killed the first person, he had enough time to find prey and dump the body from a long distance, greatly delaying the discovery of the body.
But when he killed the second person, he didn't have enough time to take the prey further and dump the body.
Today, he had no time to choose his prey, so he had no choice but to attack the secret whistle.
Judging from the trajectory and time of the murder, this person does not seem to be provoking Cangyun, nor does he seem to be seeking revenge.
It's more like a kind of practice, using the human heart to practice, and it has reached the most critical point, so he can't wait to choose to commit the crime during the day, and even chooses to target the secret whistle disciples of Cangyun Sect.
The top priority now is to investigate whether there is anything in common between these three women.
If the other party chooses the target conditionally, it will be easier for us to investigate.
If the other party chooses the target at will, I'm afraid this matter will really cause chaos in Cangyun.
It will also make various parties lose confidence in us, Cangyun."
Yujizi study room.
Gu Jianchi reported to Yu Jizi that Xuan Ying and Li Ziye would come to visit tomorrow, as well as the recent three heart-breaking murders of young women in Cangyun Mountain.
After listening to Gu Jianchi's report, Yu Jizi didn't seem to care about the serial murder case.
He just said lightly: "Did Xuan Ying tell me why she came to Cangyun this time?"
Gu Jianchi shook his head and said: "No."
Then he couldn't help but said: "Master, how should we deal with these three murder cases?
If the murderer is not caught in time, I am afraid more people will be killed."
Yu Jizi glanced at Gu Jianchi and said, "Jianchi, you made a mistake."
Gu Jianchi was stunned and said: "What?
If the disciple is stupid, please ask the master to clarify."
Yu Jizi said calmly: "This is not killing people and poaching their hearts, but poaching their hearts and killing people."
Gu Jianchi was a little puzzled.
Yu Jizi seemed a little disappointed with Gu Jianchi.
Said: “Still don’t understand this?
Murder and heart-gouging is when a person's heart is taken out after death.
And to kill someone by removing their heart, the heart is taken away while the other person is still alive.
Although you did not report this matter to your master, the shadow of Shadow Hall informed your master of this matter yesterday.
I have already made arrangements for my master, so you don’t have to interfere. You only need to do a good job of comforting me both internally and externally, so as to prevent this matter from triggering panic among the disciples of various sects.”
Gu Jianchi did not expect that his mentor would already know about this without leaving home.
Seeing that his master seemed a little disappointed with him, Gu Jianchi did not dare to say anything, bowed and left the study.
