Next, Xu and Luo inspected almost all the houses of the victims, but the results were not satisfactory and they still found no clues.
It was not until dusk that Wang Ruhai, who had been shrinking his head, finally found the courage to speak out.
"Sir, it's getting late today. Why don't we take a rest early today? The county government has already prepared a food and beverage room. We can continue tomorrow morning."
Xu Luo looked at the sky and felt a little depressed.
Until now, he still couldn't be sure whether it was caused by something strange, and he didn't even detect the slightest sinister aura from Wushengzhu.
If it is really a strange thing, then not to mention other abilities of this thing, at least in terms of hiding the aura, it is really the best.
Hey, this situation is a bit like the weird baby back then. Thinking of the Crying Mountain Ape that has been haunting the nearby Huanjian Mountain these years, Xu Luo couldn't help but feel a little awe-inspiring.
He was about to agree to Wang Ruhai's proposal, but at this moment, the transparent heart in Xu Luo's body trembled slightly, and an originally dim light quickly flickered.
He subconsciously raised his head and looked in the direction where the light extended, Rugui Inn!
Xu Luo frowned slightly, thought for a moment and then sent Wang Ruhai away with a few words.
The owner of Rugui Inn is obviously not a business person. Although his property is a two-story building, his front door is extremely narrow, as if he is afraid of others coming in.
As soon as Xu Luo walked in, no attentive waiter came to join him, but a handsome scribe sitting behind the counter glanced lazily this way.
"Our restaurant does not provide meals. Please pay to stay in the hotel."
Although he said "please", the scribe didn't say anything about getting up to greet him. He just glanced at him and returned his attention to the book in his hand, acting like he couldn't help but love him.
Xu Luo looked at him again and again and confirmed that this slim scribe was just an ordinary person.
He was a little stunned for a moment, "Isn't this scene the magnanimity of the legendary master who hides himself in the city?"
He took out a gold baht from his pocket and threw it on the counter.
The scribe raised his head amidst the clanging sound, looked at Xu Luo carefully for a few times, then took out a No. 7 wooden sign and handed it over.
Thinking of Tong Ming's strange state of mind just now, Xu Luo didn't bother to argue with him. He took the wooden sign and walked up to the second floor to find room A7.
Although the attitude of this store is not very good, the room is surprisingly clean and tidy.
Xu Luo didn't want to go downstairs anymore. He wanted to see what surprises he would get if he lived here?
"Bang, bang..."
The midnight watch drum sounded on time, and Xu Luo opened his eyes in the dark room. Until now, nothing unusual had happened.
Just when he was doubtful, a soft pop came from the corridor outside, but there was no movement immediately.
Xu Luo seemed to notice something, and there was a trace of surprise on his face that could not be concealed.
He quietly walked to the window and suddenly opened the wooden window. A black figure lurked under the window in shock. Before the shadow could react, Xu Luo had already carried him into the house.
Snap, the wooden window closed tightly again.
The black shadow lay motionless on the ground. Xu Luo stretched out his hand to call, and the H-shaped lamp illuminated the scarlet flame, but the light seemed to be tightly restrained in the room by some powerful force. If it was seen from the outside, it was still pitch black.
Xu Luo nodded with satisfaction, and now he is becoming more and more comfortable in using the E-shaped lantern.
He turned to look at the figure on the ground and chuckled.
"You kid can't get up yet, how can you be in such a mess?"
As soon as he heard his voice, the figure on the ground suddenly raised his head, with a look of disbelief on the bloody young face. It was Zhao Yang who had just parted ways not long ago.
"Sir, why are you in Blackwater City..."
Before he finished speaking, he seemed to remember something again, and the surprise on his face suddenly turned into a look of panic.
"Sir, please, please go and save Boss Cui!"
Zhao Yang was crying anxiously and kowtowing on the ground. Xu Luo reached out and grabbed him, then lifted him to the wooden table and sat down.
"This man has gold at his knees. Either talk to me properly or get out of here!"
Zhao Yang was full of thoughts. He knew there was a way out as soon as he heard his tone, and he didn't dare to delay. In a few words, he told what happened to Huang Hewei after they parted.
Cui Hao originally wanted to ask Xu Luo to investigate the disappearance of his beloved daughter Xiao Sang that day.
But Xu Luo was angered because of Huo Qiye and his wife, so he could only take Zhao Yang back to Heishui City in frustration. Unexpectedly, a few days later, Huo Qiye and his wife came directly to the door.
The three of them deliberately ignored Zhao Yang and discussed for a long time. After Huo Qiye left, Cui Hao suddenly changed his mind. He often blamed Zhao Yang for trivial matters, and finally even drove Zhao Yang away.
Although Zhao Yang didn't know what Huo Qiye and his wife said to Cui Hao that day, he absolutely did not believe that Cui Hao would become so indifferent to right from wrong.
So he pretended to be disappointed and left, but in fact he was secretly watching Cui Hao's every move.
Unexpectedly, he discovered something shocking. Cui Hao was actually inquiring about the Li family's affairs. What was he planning to do?
No matter how young and ignorant Zhao Yang is, he still knows that doing this kind of thing in Blackwater City is almost like lighting a lantern in a latrine - courting death!
Do you really think everyone is Xu Luo?
But for a while, Cui Hao seemed to be silent again, and Zhao Yang finally let go of his worries.
While using the talisman to write a letter asking Huo Qiye and his wife what happened that day, he secretly stared at Cui Hao, fearing that he would be distracted by the Li family.
But what is supposed to come will always come. Just late last night, Cui Hao actually sneaked into the Li family's residence.
What made Zhao Yang even more tearful was that Huo Qiye and his wife never left Blackwater City, and even sneaked into Li's house right after them.
Hearing this, Xu Luo also understood why Zhao Yang was so embarrassed?
Gee, these scumbags actually want to trouble the Li family. Who gave them the courage?
"In other words, how many of them are in danger now?"
Zhao Yang shook his head with a sad face.
"I don't know either. Before I could rush over to dissuade him, I was blocked by the old guy Bai Yan and Lieutenant Xuan Yan. After that, he ran away desperately before returning to Xiucai."
Scholar?
Xu Luo thought of the thin scribe who couldn't let go of the scroll just now. It seemed that the relationship between the two was very familiar.
At this time, Zhao Yang was about to beg again, but Xu Luo suddenly waved his hand to signal him not to speak.
He quietly walked to the wall again, and the sharp claws in his hands instantly grew and penetrated straight through the solid wall.
With a pop, a small hole was first cracked in the wall, but then it fell apart again under Xu Luo's strong retraction, creating a human-shaped gap.
Xu Luo came back with a figure in his hands. Not to mention asking, he didn't even take a second look before using his fingers.
A heart-wrenching snapping sound was heard, and the neck of the figure who was lurking quietly outside was directly pinched.
Xu Luo threw the person on the ground like trash and signaled Zhao Yang to continue talking with his eyes.
Zhao Yang looked at this unlucky man who was in the same realm as himself, and recognized that he was one of the Xuanyan Lieutenants who was chasing him like a mad dog.
He swallowed and said carefully.
"Be careful while patrolling. This person is Xuanyan Lieutenant Li Bomu, who is stationed in the Exorcism Department of Blackwater City. There should also be Bai Yan, Tang Yuxin, and Qiu Buyan."
Hearing the familiar name Bai Yan again, Xu Luo finally remembered the scenes at Sanhe Fort.
This man was Li Boyu's personal bodyguard back then, and he must have been a close confidant of the Li family. His expression moved slightly and he subconsciously looked downstairs, but what he said was totally irrelevant.
"How is your relationship with that scholar?"
Seeing that Zhao Yang was still confused and confused, Xu Luo said angrily.
"What I mean is, is that person worth saving? If you stay in a daze for a moment, that person will be beaten to death by Lieutenant Xuanyan and the others!"
"Ah... that person is a close friend of mine. It is thanks to him during this period that the boy was able to find a place to stay in Blackwater City. Please give me a helping hand."
Now Zhao Yang understood and quickly revealed the relationship between the two.
Xu Luo reached out and lifted him up again. The floor beneath his feet cracked silently, and the two of them had landed in the hall downstairs.
"Scholar..."
Before Zhao Yang even hit the ground, the scene in front of him made his eyes dizzy.
The thin scribe was curled up on the ground at this time, and the dark red blood stains under his body spread on the smooth floor, which looked particularly dazzling.
His already fair face was as pale as paper. When Zhao Yang appeared, a wry smile appeared on his face, and he was about to say something.
But the tall figure next to him, covered in talisman armor, kicked him in the face again.
Bang, at some o'clock, his big snow-white teeth were kicked away. The scholar covered his face in pain and twitched all over like a prawn being roasted over charcoal.
"You bunch of beasts, he is just an ordinary person, he has the ability to come after me!"
Seeing that his friend was clearly about to lose his hold, Zhao Yang, who was being held in his hand, screamed angrily subconsciously, forgetting who was the king and struggling desperately in Xu Luo's hands.
Xu Luo pouted. To be honest, he respected this kind of brotherhood, but he also hated this kind of incompetence and rage.
What's the use of talking more, you have to do it!
Oops, the scarlet candle flame instantly overshadowed the dim light, revealing three figures sitting and standing two.
Sitting there was the old man with an orange-skinned face and gloomy eyes. It was Bai Yan who had accompanied Li Boyu to Moshui County for training. On his shoulder, there was a white eagle the size of a fist lying lazily.
Next to him was Qiu Buyan, an old acquaintance of Xu Luo, who had a picture of a black tiger descending from the mountain tattooed on his bald head.
At this moment, he was looking at Xu Luo and Xu Luo who suddenly appeared with a ferocious smile on his face.
Suddenly surprised, the tall figure wrapped tightly in talisman armor subconsciously raised his head and glanced at the E-shaped lantern floating above, but immediately lowered his head, drew his knife, and stabbed the scholar.
Hum, not to mention Xu Luo, even Ezi Deng seemed to be completely angered by this act of disregard, and a few scarlet fireworks fell like lightning towards Captain Xuanyan and the others.
Not seeing each other for so many years, the old man Bai Yan has also been promoted to the Body Washing Realm.
He was the first to notice the danger of this inconspicuous candle flame, and the indifferent expression on his face suddenly changed, and he jumped up as if someone had stepped on his tail.
"Lao Qiu, brother Tang, hide quickly, this damn thing is a Xuan-level spiritual creature!"
The white eagle that had been lying on the shoulder rose up with its sharp chirp, and the sound wave was like a tide, knocking the candle flame away hard.
Lao Qiu roared wildly, and the black tiger tattoo on his head jumped down and turned into a ferocious black tiger, blocking it in front of him.
