As the white cloth covering Zhen Yin's body was removed, Zhen Yin's body was also exposed in front of everyone.
"Master Wei, he is Master Zhen."
Pei Daoyuan said with an extremely sad expression.
Wei Lianyi stepped forward and carefully inspected Zhen Yin's death condition and the fatal injuries on his body.
Su Yu couldn't help but glance over. Lying on the case was a middle-aged man about fifty years old.
He has gray hair and a Chinese character face. He has been in a high position for many years, and his face looks a bit majestic.
There are wrinkles on his brows that look like the word "Chuan". It seems that he often knitted his brows during his lifetime, which is why he still has such deep wrinkles after his death.
There was only one wound all over his body, which was at his throat.
In addition, the corners of his mouth were not the normal pale color after excessive blood loss, but appeared jet black.
In other words, it is very likely that he lost most of his combat effectiveness after being poisoned before his death, and then died after the enemy sealed his throat with a knife or sword.
"Could it be that he was poisoned before he was alive and then his throat was cut to death by the enemy?"
Su Yu's heart skipped a beat and his brows furrowed slightly.
According to the information obtained from the public, Zhen Yin has a cultivation level in the middle stage of the Hidden Dragon Realm, and has also practiced a local martial skill of the Zhenwu Division.
If the enemy only has the cultivation level of Hidden Dragon Realm, it will not be easy to kill him.
And since it was the kind of thing that sealed the throat with a single blow, it was almost certain that this could not have been done by a Hidden Dragon Realm warrior.
According to this calculation, it is very likely that a warrior in the Soul Palace realm would commit the murder.
But if he was poisoned before his death and lost his fighting ability, it would be much easier to kill him.
But for a Hidden Dragon Realm warrior to poison him, it might not be an easy task.
Wei Lianyi observed carefully for a moment, then withdrew his gaze and turned to look at Wang Jinzhong and the four thousand-household masters.
"When were the deaths of Master Zhen and his family discovered?" Wei Lianyi asked calmly.
Pei Daoyuan thought for a moment, and then said: "Yesterday morning, the four of us were in the reception room of Zhenwusi, waiting for Mr. Zhen to come over for a morning meeting, but after waiting for a long time, Mr. Zhen did not come."
"Then there is a guy who delivers food to Lord Zhen's house every day. Yesterday morning when he was delivering food to Lord Zhen's house, he found that everyone in Master Zhen's family was killed, so he hurriedly came to Zhenwu Division to report the case."
Su Yu came to the other cases where the corpses were parked, and then took off the white cloth covering the corpses.
"Huh?"
Su Yu couldn't help but let out a sigh.
"Brother Su, what did you find?" Liang Yuxuan came up and couldn't help but ask.
Wei Lianyi had said before that if he could perform well in this mission, he would have the opportunity to be promoted to the rank of Thousand Households.
Naturally, they had to be more proactive, but they couldn't let Su Yu steal all the limelight.
The eyes of other people couldn't help but glance over at this moment.
"Four lords, who is this deceased person to Lord Zhen?"
Su Yu looked at the four Qianhu and asked with a smile.
The deceased he was looking at was a woman. Judging from her face, she was probably around thirty years old. She also had exquisite makeup on her face and jewelry made of demon crystal hanging around her neck.
"oh."
Wang Jinzhong glanced at the woman, and then said: "She is a concubine taken by Master Zhen eleven years ago, named Ji Ying."
"Ji Ying?"
Su Yu nodded, and then said: "Master Wei, come over and see how she died."
Wei Lianyi heard this, then quickly walked over, carefully observed Ji Ying's death for a while, her eyes couldn't help but condense, and she said slowly: "She was not poisoned."
Immediately she looked at the people who were accompanying them and ordered: "Tear off the white cloths on the other people's bodies and see if there are any signs of poisoning in these deceased people."
"yes!"
Immediately, with the help of many captains, the white cloths on more than a hundred corpses in the morgue were removed one by one.
Wei Lianyi looked around and said calmly: "Do their faces show signs of poisoning?"
"My lord, no!"
"My lord, no!"
"My lord, no!"
"."
The captains present made debrief reports one by one.
Su Yu had already used his spiritual consciousness to observe the death conditions of all the deceased, and at this moment he couldn't help but have an inference in his mind.
In Zhen's house, only Zhen Yin was poisoned, but no one else showed any signs of poisoning.
Can it be inferred that the poisoner specifically targeted Zhen Yin personally?
And being able to specifically target Zhen Yin personally means that this person must be very familiar with Zhen Yin's personal eating habits, and even have Zhen Yin's trust.
Only in this case can he successfully poison Zhen Yin.
Wei Lianyi got the result, and then said calmly: "Let's go to Master Zhen's house to have a look."
The deceased has already seen it, and now he needs to go to the scene to see what the scene looked like on the day after the crime occurred.
"Master Wei, please."
Wang Jinzhong and four other senior officials from thousands of households led the way.
While walking on the way to Zhen's Mansion, Wei Lianyi couldn't help but start chatting with Wang Jinzhong and the other four.
Wei Lianyi asked: "Did Master Zhen offend anyone during this period?"
Wang Jinzhong and the other four thought about it carefully, and then they all shook their heads.
Wei Shutang smiled bitterly and said: "Master Wei must also know that our Zhenwu Division has always had a hostile relationship with the warriors in the world."
"According to our speculation, Lord Zhen should have offended a certain Jianghu warrior during his tenure in the Zhenwu Division. The other party only knew that he was outmatched, so he devoted himself to hard training. When he had enough cultivation, he went to Lord Zhen's house to poison him.
, and then caused Master Zhen to lose his fighting power and commit this murderous crime."
Pei Daoyuan continued: "Before Mr. Wei arrived, we also tested Mr. Zhen's blood and found that the poison he was poisoned was a poison called blood clover."
"Once the toxin from the blood clover leaf enters the human body, it will cause the person to lose the ability to move."
"Bloodweed?"
Liang Yuxuan couldn't help but said: "Four lords, I remember that this poison is extremely irritating to the sense of smell. How did Lord Zhen, as a Hidden Dragon Realm warrior, get poisoned by this kind of poison?"
Li Jianwu on the side said: "You are right, the blood castor leaf does have an extremely strong pungent smell, but if it is mixed with wine, the wine can cover up part of the smell of the blood castor leaf."
"Perhaps when drinking the first few glasses of wine, the smell of blood clover can still be smelled by the warrior, but if Master Zhen drinks a few more glasses, he drinks the wine with blood clover, and wants to
It’s not that easy to notice.”
"So according to our speculation, it is most likely that Master Zhen was poisoned by the blood castor leaf under such circumstances, and then died with a knife to his throat."
Listening to Li Jianwu's analysis, Su Yu, who was walking in the crowd, couldn't help but shake his head.
How could a Hidden Dragon Realm warrior's sense of smell, who had worked hard all the way to be promoted to the position of governor, not be able to detect a poison with a pungent smell like bloody castor leaves?
If the blood clover leaves were colorless and tasteless and mixed into the wine, it might really be possible for Zhen Yin to drink them.
But it has a strong pungent smell, and it is impossible for Zhen Yin to make such a fatal mistake.
From this, Su Yu guessed that Zhen Yin was most likely poured into poison after being killed by the enemy, and then died as if he was poisoned.
What puzzled Su Yu was why the other party wanted to kill Zhen Yin.
What is his motivation?
Vendetta?
Or is it caused by interests?
Vendetta is easy to explain clearly.
It's just that Zhen Yin offended someone many years ago, and the other party thought that he couldn't kill Zhen Yin with his own strength, so he had to work hard and practice hard, and then finally found a chance to take revenge.
But this possibility is very small.
What kind of enemy can kill Zhen Yin after years of hard work when he couldn't kill him before?
He is making progress, and so is Zhen Yin.
In addition, if he were a martial artist, he would have been exhausted just collecting training resources all his life. It was hard to say whether he could be promoted to the Hidden Dragon Realm, let alone deal with Zhen Yin, who was practicing earth-level martial arts.
In other words, the possibility of a vendetta against Zhen Yin is almost slim.
Correspondingly, the possibility of killing Zhen Yin because of profit has become much greater.
If Zhen Yin dies, someone will take his place as governor.
In addition, the senior officials of Zhenwu Division also have access to various core confidential matters.
Maybe Zhen Yin knew something during his lifetime that led to the massacre of his entire family.
Half an hour later, Wang Jinzhong and four thousand-household lords led Wei Lianyi and others to the Zhen Mansion.
Standing at the door, Wang Jinzhong said in a serious tone: "Master Wei, this is Master Zhen's residence."
"We have kept all the traces inside as original as possible."
Wei Lianyi nodded, and then said: "The four adults will wait here while I take someone in to check."
According to the analysis she made at this moment, Zhen Yin's death was most likely committed by an acquaintance.
After all, it is not an easy task for ordinary people to give Zhen Yin blood-weed leaves and make him drink it smoothly.
Therefore, the four Wang Jinzhongs are undoubtedly potential suspects in plotting to murder Zhen Yin.
She could not let the analysis of these four people interfere with her judgment of the case.
Hearing this, Wang Jinzhong and the four others nodded.
Immediately, Wei Lianyi led Su Yu and other five hundred households, as well as the twenty-five captains under his command, into the Zhen Mansion.
The entire Zhen Mansion undoubtedly seemed very quiet at this moment, after all, the entire family had been slaughtered by the murderer.
Walking into the yard, there were shocking puddles of dried, jet-black blood everywhere.
Obviously, these pools of blood are the last traces left by each living person.
All the way to the reception hall, the hall is still as it is, as if a family is having a happy dinner together.
The dishes on the table have begun to turn black due to storage time, and are accompanied by a musty smell.
There were probably many people gathered in the entire hall when the incident happened, so there was a strong smell of blood in the room.
And on the main table and chairs in the living room, dried blood was scattered all over the floor.
That position was naturally where Zhen Yin sat before his death, and the pool of blood was presumably the blood that flowed after Zhen Yin's throat was sealed with a knife.
Wei Lianyi looked around and then ordered: "Everyone, search the entire Zhen Mansion to see if there are any clues left."
"Check these dishes as well to see if there is any poison from the bloodweed in them."
“Remember not to damage the scene and leave it as it is.”
"yes!"
Everyone responded in unison, and then divided their work and inspected every corner of the Zhen Mansion.
Su Yu used his consciousness to look around. There was no sign of any violent fighting in the entire Zhen Mansion.
This also confirmed his guess that Zhen Yin had almost no chance to resist and had already ended up dead.
The ministers in Zhen Yin's house are warriors with low levels of cultivation.
If Zhen Yin didn't even have a chance to resist, he would have already ended up dead.
Then these family ministers would be more likely to be killed.
"Shen Yuanming."
Su Yu called to one of his subordinate captains.
"grown ups."
Shen Yuanming hurriedly came over and asked, "Sir, what do you want from me?"
"Go and buy a chicken from the street." Su Yu ordered.
"chicken?"
Shen Yuanming was startled and asked: "Sir, why do you want me to buy a chicken?"
"I ask you to buy it, so you go and buy it. What are you talking about?" Su Yu said.
"Okay, I'll go right away."
Shen Yuanming responded and hurriedly walked outside Zhen's mansion.
"Brother Su, why did you ask the people below to buy chickens?"
Liang Yuxuan, who was sitting idle on the side, couldn't help but come up to him and asked in confusion.
"Oh, it's nothing, I just want to verify something."
Su Yushi smiled and said, "We'll know after he buys the chicken and verifies it."
Liang Yuxuan couldn't help but glance at him and muttered: "Mysterious."
About half an hour passed, and the entire Zhen Mansion had been searched.
"Sir, there is a roster here. It seems to be the list of Zhen Mansion personnel."
A school captain walked up to Sun Xicui and handed over a list of personnel.
"Personnel list?"
Sun Xicui couldn't help but be startled, then took the list and read it carefully.
"Eh."
Sun Xicui scanned the names on the list and couldn't help but let out a sigh.
"What did you find?"
Wei Lianyi looked over at the side.
"Sir, something is wrong."
Sun Xichui couldn't help but said: "Look at this list, there are a total of 104 people on it, but you told us before that a total of 103 people in the Zhen Mansion were killed, so there are more people on this list
Who is this person?"
Wei Lianyi was slightly startled when he heard this, then took the roster and read it.
After she counted all the names on the list, she couldn't help but frown slightly.
Immediately afterwards, she ordered: "Sun Xicui, take someone to the Zhenwu Division and record the names of all the dead people in the morgue to see which person on the list is not in the morgue.
house."
"yes!"
Sun Xichui took the list and quickly left with the five captains under his command.
"Sir, I bought the chicken."
Shen Yuanming came back holding a chicken and said respectfully.
"Um."
Su Yu nodded, then took the chicken from his hand and fed it to it with a handful of bloody rice.
After it was finished, Su Yu waited for a while, but there was still no abnormality in the chicken.
"really."
After confirming that the chicken showed no signs of poisoning, Su Yu immediately understood that this case would be very difficult.
Because the handful of bloody rice was deliberately dipped in the blood that flowed from Zhen Yin's throat after her throat was sealed with a knife, and then he fed it to the chickens.
But this chicken showed no signs of poisoning, which is enough to prove that Zhen Yin was not poisoned by the blood castor leaves before his death, but was poured into the blood castor leaves after his death, causing him to die after death.
It looked like he was poisoned by bloodweed, pretending that he was killed due to inability to move after being poisoned.
If Zhen Yin was killed after being poisoned, the murderer's cultivation level would not be very high, because he needed to poison Zhen Yin before he dared to take action.
But if Zhen Yin had not been poisoned, how powerful would the murderer need to kill him?
At least with the strength of Qianlong Realm, there is no way to do such a thing, right?
In other words, the murderer who killed Zhen Yin was most likely a warrior in the Soul Palace realm.
But this soul palace warrior deliberately poured blood castor poison into Zhen Yin's body after his death to deceive the investigation direction of the Zhenwu Division.
"What is his purpose for doing this? To get rid of his suspicious identity? But there are no soul palace warriors in Longyang City, so what he does is nothing more than a waste of time."
"Or maybe he just wants to direct the investigation of the Zhenwu Division towards Jianghu vendetta..."
Su Yu couldn't help but fell into deep thought.
At this time, everyone involved in the search had regrouped in the front yard of Zhen Mansion.
"Sir, the search of the west courtyard has been completed and no clues have been found!"
"Sir, the east courtyard has been searched and no clues have been found!"
"Sir, the search in the south courtyard has been completed and no clues have been found!"
"Sir, the search in the North Courtyard has been completed and no clues have been found!"
The captains below reported the results of the investigation one after another.
Then Su Yu and others informed Wei Lianyi of the investigation results.
At this time, Sun Xicui also led the people back again.
Wei Lianyi's pretty face couldn't help but be surprised: "Why are you back so soon?"
"oh."
Sun Xi smiled and said: "The list of people in the morgue has been registered by the Zhenwu Department here. I just wasted some time on the road and did not count the names of the deceased again."
"Um."
Wei Lianyi nodded, and then said: "Compare the names on these two lists and see who the extra person is."
"Sir, I already compared them on the way here."
Sun Xi said respectfully: "The extra person on the Zhen Mansion personnel list is a family minister named Hou Jinchun."
"According to my humble position, I interrogated the personal guards around Master Zhen and roughly obtained his corresponding information."
"Hou Jinchun is a martial artist with a cultivation level in the middle stage of the Iron Bone Realm. He used to come to Yanzhou specifically to hunt monsters. Later, he was seriously injured while hunting monsters. He was living on the streets of Longyang City and was almost dying. However,
This guy was lucky, he was discovered by Lord Zhen when he was passing by, and he was brought back to the house for treatment."
"After he was lucky enough to save his life, he decided to die for Master Zhen and voluntarily became a family minister beside Master Zhen."
Hou Jinchun?
Wei Lianyi frowned slightly and murmured in a low voice.
"Sir, the situation is very clear now."
He Bohong on the side couldn't help but said: "This Hou Jinchun may not have thought that Master Zhen's house will have a list of everyone in the house."
"I think he secretly poisoned Master Zhen, causing Master Zhen to lose his ability to fight, and then he repaid his kindness with vengeance and slaughtered all the Zhen family."
"Yes, Master He's speculation is very possible."
Liang Yuxuan couldn't help but echoed: "There are too many things like repaying kindness with hatred in this world, and this kind of thing is even worse in the world!"
"Based on my humble opinion, I'm afraid Master Zhen led the wolf into the house, which led to this disaster."
Wu Ling, who was standing behind Wei Lianyi, frowned and said: "Everything depends on evidence. This is just a speculation of yours. We have no direct evidence that Hou Jinchun did this!"
As a child of a martial arts family, she also has many family ministers in her family.
Therefore, when I saw the two people speculating that the case was committed by the family Qing, I couldn't help but want to defend the family Qing.
After all, the family minister under the Wu family, based on her experience since childhood, is still very dedicated to her work.
This kind of repayment of kindness with hatred is very common, but there must be evidence to prove that it was him, right?
Otherwise, it would be too arbitrary to conclude that he was the murderer just because his name was not on the death list.
Wei Lianyi couldn't help but look at Su Yu, and then asked: "Su Yu, what did you find over there?"
Everyone's eyes couldn't help but look at Su Yu.
Facing everyone's gaze, Su Yu chuckled and said, "I don't think this case has much to do with this person named Hou Jinchun."
"Oh? Brother Su, what's your idea?" Liang Yuxuan asked.
He Bohong couldn't help but smile and said: "Yes, Brother Su, tell me what you discovered."
"Look at that chicken."
Su Yu pointed at the chicken in the yard, and then said with a smile.
After everyone heard this, they all looked at the chickens looking for food in the yard.
"I just fed it rice stained with Master Zhen's blood, but it didn't seem to be poisoned by ricinella poison."
Su Yu chuckled and said, "Think about it, everyone, if Lord Zhen had not been poisoned by the blood-curing leaves, how could a family minister with only an Iron Bone realm kill Lord Zhen with a single blow?"
"Master Zhen's cultivation in the Hidden Dragon Realm, I'm afraid Hou Jinchun won't even have a chance to get close, right?"
"So I guess that after Mr. Zhen died, the murderer deliberately made him look like he was poisoned in order to confuse the direction of our investigation."
After listening to Su Yu's analysis, everyone's expressions couldn't help but change.
If in this case, Zhen Yin was not poisoned before his death, then he was a Hidden Dragon Realm warrior.
How could a Hidden Dragon Realm warrior die at the hands of an Iron Bone Realm family minister?
It can even be said that it takes at least a soul palace level warrior to kill Zhen Yin instantly and achieve the effect of sealing his throat with one sword!
Looking at the entire Wei Dynasty, there are only a few warriors in the soul palace realm.
Who could it be that is going to kill Zhen Yin’s entire family?
Also, if the murderer is really a soul palace warrior, even if they know his identity, then they are really a bit underwhelming.
However, everyone could not help but breathe a sigh of relief when they thought that Commander Qinglong and Commander Suzaku were hiding in the dark to assist.
With two Soul Palace realm warriors sitting in charge, even if the opponent is really a Soul Palace realm warrior, it would be difficult for him to defeat them with two fists.
After listening to Su Yu's analysis, Wei Lianyi's eyes couldn't help but light up, and then said: "According to your guess, who would have the motive for committing the crime?"
"Based on my humble opinion, this case is not a vendetta, but a matter of profit. Lord Zhen's existence has had a huge impact on a certain interest group. He has to risk exposure and kill Lord Zhen."
Su Yu pointed to the reception hall, and then said with a smile: "Since Master Zhen died in the dining hall, it means that the time of his death should be during the dinner period."
"Look at the guest seats. There is a seat that is not stained with blood. Can we infer that Lord Zhen is entertaining someone he knows well, and then this familiar person exchanges glasses with Lord Zhen at this wine table?
?”
"It's just that in the end, the two of them had different paths and did not work together, and their respective ideals deviated. However, this familiar person suddenly showed powerful force and successfully killed Master Zhen. He also took this opportunity to massacre Zhen.
Full house!"
Everyone stared at Su Yu with their eyes widened.
They all did not expect that Su Yu would have such in-depth speculation based on the few clues revealed.
Several people had to admit that Su Yu's speculation was quite reasonable.
If Zhen Yin was not poisoned during his lifetime, it would not be easy to kill a Hidden Dragon Realm warrior.
Especially since Zhen Yin's throat was sealed with a knife, it can almost be concluded that the murderer is a Soul Palace realm warrior.
But in this Longyang City, there are no strong people in the soul palace realm.
"Brother Su, according to what you said, the murderer can almost be concluded to be a Soul Palace realm warrior."
Liang Yuxuan frowned and said: "But in Longyang City, there seems to be no warriors with Soul Palace realm cultivation, otherwise we would still have a potential suspect."
"But now we don't even have anyone to suspect."
This guy probably wanted to use this sentence to hint to Wei Lianyi that if our strong dragons don't overwhelm the local snakes and don't get into trouble, we might as well pin the murderer of this case on Hou Jinchun.
Su Yu cursed in his heart.
After all, it is not an easy task to find out a Soul Palace realm warrior and then capture him.
In this case, it is naturally better to choose Hou Jinchun, a soft persimmon.
The crime has already been committed.
Hou Jinchun gave Zhen Yin blood castor poison, and then after Zhen Yin lost the ability to fight, he sealed his throat with a knife and successfully escaped.
As for the motive for committing the crime, just make up one at random.
Then the case will be closed, and everyone can go back and receive their merits calmly.
In Zhenwu Division or Yamen, such things are not uncommon.
When you can't find the murderer, you try to find a way to frame a murderer.
What are the top ten tortures in martial arts prisons used for?
Isn't it just used to beat someone into submission?
Even if you don't want to admit that you did it, if you go to martial arts prison, it will be your doing if it wasn't you.
Then the whole process of painting, beheading, and beheading is provided, and the case is considered to be completely closed.
Wei Lianyi thought for a moment, and then said calmly: "Liang Yuxuan, He Bohong, you two take people to visit the neighbors next to Zhen's Mansion and ask these people if they found anything during the period from the afternoon to evening the day before yesterday.
It is important to investigate clearly who comes to visit Zhen Mansion, and when the visit takes place, and no traces can be omitted."
Liang Yuxuan and He Bohong both responded in a deep voice: "Yes!"
Then Wei Lianyi looked at Su Yu and the others, and ordered: "Sun Xicui, Su Yu, Wu Ling, you three and the people below are mainly responsible for asking where Hou Jinchun has gone now. He may be the person we use to solve the case."
The key.”
"It is even very possible that he will be the only survivor in this case."
"If we can find him, maybe we can know who the murderer is behind this case!"
"Other than that, no matter who is asked by anyone from Yanzhou Zhenwu Division, no progress in the case can be revealed to them."
Su Yu and the other three also responded: "Yes!"
Except for Su Yu and Wu Ling, Liang Yuxuan's heart sank.
This shows that Wei Lianyi decided to fight to the end instead of pouring dirty water on Hou Jinchun and characterizing the case.
But if this case was really committed by a Soul Palace realm warrior, then the level of this case would have reached an astonishing level of first-level meritorious service.
Wei Lianyi waved his hand and said: "Okay, let's go to work."
The five people responded again: "Yes."
Immediately everyone led their teams away and went to the streets to find out the news.
It wasn't until the sun went down that Su Yu ended the day's exploration of news. He led his five subordinates into the Longyang Inn where they were staying, ordered a large table of monster meat and started to feast on it.
During the meal, Shen Yuanming couldn't help but ask: "Sir, do you think this case was really committed by a strong man in the Soul Palace Realm?"
Su Yu nodded and said with a smile: "According to the current investigation, it should be a Soul Palace realm warrior."
Bai Congrong said: "If it is really a Soul Palace realm warrior who did it, it seems that there are no Soul Palace realm warriors in Longyang City."
"Yes, sir, you also said before that this man and the deceased Master Zhen may have been acquainted with each other."
Qiu Yuqi echoed: "It is very likely that this familiar person lives in Longyang City. But this cannot be explained clearly, because there are no soul palace realm warriors in Longyang City."
Su Yu picked up a piece of monster meat and stuffed it into his mouth, and said with a chuckle: "There is another situation, that is, this guy who Master Zhen is familiar with is not a soul palace warrior on the surface, but his true cultivation level is...
Already have the soul palace realm!"
"Master Zhen discovered the secret he was hiding, and then he approached Master Zhen and wanted to use this to discuss with him and let Master Zhen stand on his side. However, Master Zhen refused, so he had to take the risk of killing Master Zhen.
"
After listening to Su Yu's analysis, everyone's eyes couldn't help but light up.
Because Su Yu's analysis does make some sense.
General Yuan said: "According to Mr. Su's guess, who is this soul palace realm warrior who has concealed his own cultivation?"
Su Yusheng smiled and said, "How could I know this?"
"But I think Master Wei will naturally find a way to catch him out."
"We just need to do our part, the rest is not our business."
His main purpose for coming here this time was to go to Yandi City to strengthen his bone wings.
Besides, this trip is mainly a gilded journey for Wei Lianyi and Liang Yuxuan.
He is just a foil, and the analysis he made today can be considered as paying the traveling expenses for this trip.
As for how the case will develop next, he has no intention of caring.
He planned to take time to leave for Yandi City tonight, and then return before dawn.
After dinner, Su Yu told his subordinate Ma Zai that he would have a good rest tonight and no one should disturb him, then he got into his room.
At night, Su Yu used the window to sneak out of the room, then walked on the streets of the city, heading outside the city.
Since he knew that the person who killed Zhen Yin was a Soul Palace realm warrior, Su Yu would naturally not use Tiandao Jade in the city.
And as he is the subject of the accompanying investigation, he will probably be one of the targets of the murderer behind the scenes.
He can use the God-Escaping Bracelet to hide his traces, but without the God-Escaping Bracelet, the clone will be directly exposed to the other party's divine consciousness.
In addition to the murderer, there are also two commanders, Suzaku and Qinglong, hiding in the dark.
In other words, there are at least three soul palace realm warriors in Longyang City.
He didn't want to put himself in a dangerous situation, and he was careful to sail the ten thousand year ship
After leaving the city alone, Su Yu plundered more than ten miles of land, and then used his spiritual consciousness to scan everything within a sixty-foot radius.
After confirming that there was no one around, the vitality in Su Yu's body surged into his back.
"puff!"
The bone wings stretched out, Su Yu flapped his wings violently, and flew straight towards Yandi City.
Yandi City is only more than 500 miles away from Longyang City. Su Yu, who has cultivated in the late Iron Bone Realm, no longer needs to rely on clones to use flying martial arts to lead him on the way.
Of course, if he rushed back to Tai'an City directly from Yanzhou, he would still need to create a clone, otherwise his current cultivation level would still be far from enough to cover such a long distance.
It took about half an hour before Yandi City came into Su Yu's sight.
Yandi City was built on a mountain. The most eye-catching symbol is the mountain at the city wall, which was carved by craftsmen into the shape of a man.
If you look at it from a distance in the daytime, the human-shaped mountain with a height of thousands of feet is the statue of Emperor Yan.
Of course, at night with the faint moonlight, Su Yu could also vaguely see the outline of the Yandi statue.
Emperor Yan leaned forward slightly and looked straight into the distance.
His left hand is behind his back, his right hand is hanging in front of his chest, and a blazing flame is suspended in the palm of his right hand.
"Is this what Emperor Yan looks like? He does look quite domineering. Another point is, does Emperor Yan really exist in this world?"
Su Yu, who was hovering in the air at this moment, was speechless as he looked at the huge statue that was over a thousand feet high.
It is not an easy task for craftsmen to complete such a huge statue.
After all, some places need to be filled with stones, and some places need to be carved flat.
Carving this mountain into the shape of a person does not happen overnight.
Su Yu landed one mile away from Yandi City, disguised himself as a martial artist, and walked towards Yandi City.
In Yanzhou, there are monsters everywhere in the wild, and the city can be regarded as a sanctuary.
Because of Yanzhou's geographical problems, it was impossible to grow food crops, which made it impossible for the government to use land to collect food taxes from the people.
And the work that ordinary people are engaged in generally involves deep processing of the corpses of monsters and beasts.
In addition, if warriors want to enter the city to obtain supplies and rest, they also need to pay an entry fee. The general fee is one or two silver.
The people living in Yandi City have another way of making money, which is blacksmithing.
With the help of the inner fire of the Black Flame under Emperor Yan's city, he can make weapons and sell them to earn wages.
When Su Yu walked to the gate of Yandi City, he saw bullock carts carrying cartloads of iron ore heading toward the city.
There is no iron ore in Yandi City, and the iron ore for making weapons needs to be transported from other places where iron ore is available.
This also gave rise to a very special scenery in Yandi City, that is, on the official road leading to Yandi City, you can always see an endless stream of oxcarts.
Oxen are strong and patient, making them very suitable for long-distance transportation of iron ore. With just a few kilograms of fodder, they can travel hundreds of miles a day, making them a very good means of transportation.
"It has always been where there is iron ore that the smelting industry will become very developed."
"The rise of Emperor Yan City is probably very strange."
Su Yu couldn't help but curse in his heart.
In other places, generally there are iron ores and industries are developed.
However, Yandi City is entirely famous because of a kind of flame that surges up from the center of the earth and evolves into a large city.
It can even use iron ore from other areas for its use, which is undoubtedly very rare.
Su Yu stood at the gate of the city, paid one tael of silver, and then received a wooden sign for entry and exit, and walked all the way into Yandi City.
As soon as he entered Yandi City, a middle-aged man greeted him.
"This brother looks a little unfamiliar. Is this your first time in Yandi City?"
The middle-aged man introduced himself with a smile: "I am Cui Jian, a toothsmith. If any brother needs help, you can come to me. The price is easy to negotiate."
In every city, there will be a group of people like this looking for a living.
They are the local cognoscenti in this city, and they are also the know-how in the city. They often gather together when nothing happens and exchange news about the city with others.
Their way of making money is to introduce the city's cultural customs, various delicacies, inns and accommodations, and romantic places to newcomers.
Anyway, as long as you hire such a fan, he will make you familiar with everything in this city quickly, saving you a lot of time looking for people to ask questions.
"oh?"
Su Yu raised his eyebrows and chuckled, "How do you say the price?"
"Fifty taels of silver a day, if my brother comes to me, I will definitely give you value for money!"
Cui Jian glanced at the several tooth people in the distance who were eager to try, and said with a smile.
Once Su Yu misses him, other Ya people will have the opportunity to come forward to solicit business.
Of course, they would have a chance only after the negotiation with the first Yaman broke down.
Otherwise, you won't be able to grab the business of the first person who comes up to talk.
This is a rule that they all must abide by, otherwise once there are customers coming from afar, they will swarm in and disrupt the market.
Su Yu flipped his wrist, took out a piece of silver and threw it over.
Cui Jian, with quick eyes and quick hands, caught the silver ingot.
Looking at this silver ingot weighing ten taels, Cui Jian's eyes couldn't help but light up. It seemed that he had met a big customer.
Su Yu asked: "I came to Yandi City mainly because I want to make a weapon. I need to borrow the Black Flame Earth Heart Fire from Yandi City. How do I do it?"
"Borrowing the Black Flame Earth Core Fire to make weapons?"
Cui Jian couldn't help but be startled, and then he looked troubled and said: "Sir, you may not know that just a month ago, Black Flame Earth Heart Fire was no longer open to outsiders."
"Now that you use the Black Flame Earth Core Fire, you can only become a blacksmith for the official family and make weapons for the official family."
"oh?"
Su Yu's heart sank, and he frowned slightly and said, "Is there any way that I can use the Black Flame Earth's Heart Fire?"
