Chapter 77: Identity of the deceased, bold decision-making
Outside the arresting hall, Li Jingtai’s fourth uncle was still kneeling on the same spot.
A powerful wizard.
Just kneel down in front of yourself.
This made all the detectives and agents feel a little uncomfortable, and they subconsciously glanced at Tie Tang.
It is said that foreign monks can recite sutras.
But now it seems... This person is not as simple as chanting sutras, he seems to want to turn the entire Longyuan City over.
Facing Tie Tang's questions, Li Jingtai did not dare to neglect.
"Sir, we will meet you underwater. You should know that Li is not the real murderer."
"What about before that? Where did you go? Are you alone or with others?"
"Li flew into the whirlpool with some elders in his family, but when he woke up, he was not in the same place.
Afterwards, Xunxunmi walked for a while and bumped into the cave where the adults were."
Tie Tang's eyes were bright and he looked directly at Li Jingtai, who did not avoid him and seemed to be confident.
"You should know... The ability to commit such a major crime in Longyuan City has nothing to do with your four aristocratic families.
Tie also believes that among the four of you... there will always be one who wants to stand out.
If you can help me a little bit with this matter, maybe the Li family's status can be further improved."
This statement is still straightforward enough. For people like Li Jingtai, he can decide on the countermeasures in an instant.
"Sir, Li can only say that this matter has nothing to do with the Qujiang Aquatic Tribe..."
"Nonsense!"
Tie Tang took action, but the other party didn't want to cooperate at all.
"Come here, please invite Mr. Li to sit in the cell. At the same time, please invite the Huang family brothers back and ask them to go to the cell to 'make a string of confessions'."
"The chief arrester..." A police officer was so frightened that he wanted to dissuade him, but Wu Yulong reached out and stopped him.
"Didn't you hear what my lord said? Please invite Young Master Li down first, and I will go to the Huang family in person."
He was hesitant before, looking forward and backward, not daring to tease the four great families.
But the figure kneeling outside...has told him the current situation.
The Qujiang Corpse Dismemberment Case must be solved. Even if Long Yuan is wiped to the ground, the murderer must be found.
This is a great trend and no one can stop it, including the four major aristocratic families.
Li Jingtai did not resist and allowed the two detectives to take him down.
Before leaving, he left a message.
"Sir, the four great families are connected by the same spirit, how can they care about the head and not the tail? This matter has nothing to do with us."
"It's irrelevant? Ha!"
Tie Tang sneered and turned around to find Magistrate Long Yuan.
Inside Sanshengtang.
Tie Tang and Zhang Qingmo sat separately.
"Sir, I am planning to interrogate the Qujiang Shui Tribe. Do you have any suggestions?"
"You want to interrogate the Jiaolong clan?"
Zhang Qingmo understood the meaning of Tie Tang's words. If other soldiers and generals were to be interrogated, there would be no need to inform him.
Tie Tang said slowly: "There are so many people dead under the water. If you want to ask... you have to ask someone who can take charge.
What's more, there are traces suspected of being left by the dragon's claws everywhere on the bodies of the deceased.
They are most likely one of the murderers!"
Zhang Zhixian was silent for a moment, then raised his hand, and a curtain of light rose everywhere.
"Qujiang is the territory of our human race, and the Shui tribe within it must indeed abide by the laws of our race.
But you and I both know.
A dragon is a dragon and a human being is a human being.
The two are different after all.
If they are to be interrogated, there will definitely be some controversy.
Moreover, the Jiao clan is very powerful. If this is really going to happen... we will have to ask the Overwatch Council to take action."
"Control Yuan?"
Tie Tang thought of Zhao Mingzhe, who had a bruised nose and swollen face. He was afraid that he didn't want to go out for the time being.
"With the inspection order in hand and the cooperation of the adults, am I still unable to capture a dragon?"
"Who do you want to interrogate?"
"Qujiang Dragon King!"
——
The rising sun rises in the east and the fog gradually thins.
The bright golden light dyed the clouds red and gave the dark mountains in the distance a golden edge.
Tie Tang discussed with Zhang Zhixian for half a night, finalized the countermeasures, and made sufficient preparations.
Before that.
He still needs to see Wang Andao.
Yizhuang outside the city.
This place is still surrounded by a large number of agents and conscripts, but unlike before, a new passage has been opened.
This is prepared for the family members of the deceased to identify their bodies today.
Tie Tang stepped forward, pushed with both hands, and with a strange creaking sound, the door slowly opened.
The strong stench hit his face and rushed into his nasal cavity.
"Lao Wang, how is the progress?"
Wang Andao, who was buried in the pile of corpses, was full of evil spirits. His robe was stained with unknown objects and his clothes were bloody.
He looked up at Tie Tang, his voice slightly hoarse.
"If this can't be done, it won't be my turn to be the medical director."
Tie Tang walked forward and squatted down, not shying away from Wang Andao's filthiness, and patted him on the shoulder.
"Thank you for your hard work, have you made any other discoveries?"
"It really does!" Wang Andao's eyes lit up.
"Oh? Please elaborate."
Wang Andao stood up and pointed to the two groups of broken corpses on the left and right sides of the corner.
"They didn't care, they really didn't see anything. But the thirty-seven people here...all have the same characteristics."
"For example?"
"Among these dead, there are no women, and they are all accomplished people, except for the group led by Tang Huaqing.
Most of the others are in the realm of muscle-changing, marrow-cleansing, and even blood-transforming!"
Tie Tang was shocked: "So powerful?"
Easy tendon, marrow cleansing is not weak.
If he were in Yuncheng, he would already be considered a master of martial arts. Even Qingfeng, a county magistrate, would only be a master of Yi Jin.
Not to mention the blood exchange realm.
Even in Longyuan City, he is a famous character, and there is no weak one.
"This is the strange thing. The murderer seems to have made a choice and selected a group of strong and vigorous men."
Wang Andao picked up a piece of bone that was as long as one finger, bent his index finger and knocked it, and it made a sound of gold and iron clashing.
"Look, this person's cultivation level... may not be much weaker than Tang Huaqing's. He may have penetrated fifty or sixty acupoints.
He is already a master who can step into the secret realm of witchcraft. Even such a character would die.
The murderer’s strength is extraordinary!”
Tie Tang frowned and his mind was spinning with thoughts.
"Where did Longyuan City come from with so many masters? Among the dead... there are definitely people from the four major families!"
Wang Andao also came to a realization: "All the masters in my family are dead, but no aristocratic family came to report the case. What mystery is hidden in this?"
"Old Wang, have you ever found out the identity of this 'person' in your hands?"
"Never!"
"The files obtained by the Supervisory Yuan do not cover all the deceased people. I can only find twenty-nine of them.
There are eight others who have a lot of parallels, and they are all masters at least at the Marrow Cleansing Realm or above."
"Then why do the other people's files appear here? Wait... I understand." Tie Tang remembered what Li Jingtai said.
Many people are trapped in the place of trial and have not yet come out.
It happened that such a big case happened again...I am afraid that their family members also thought that the other party was missing and dead, so they went to the county government to report it.
Even though he knew the answer, Tie Tang still confirmed it: "Of the twenty-nine people whose identities were discovered...are they from the four major families?"
"No!"
"There are only some local powerful people or rural gentry, and most of them are the backbone of their families.
Once the trace is lost, the family members must have been extremely anxious."
Tie Tang guessed: "In other words...these eight unknown masters and the remaining dozen are mixed together in the mud.
There are people from four major families!"
"Now it seems that this should be the case."
"If they insist on refusing to admit it, I can't do anything to them, but sooner or later they won't be able to hold it in any longer.
Before that, we have to kill the chicken and show it to the monkey!"
"What are you going to do? Tietou?"
"Improve your cultivation first, and then go to interrogate Qujiang Dragon King."
Wang Andao looked puzzled. Only then did he notice that Tie Tang seemed to be different from what he had seen earlier.
"Your acupuncture points...how many penetrations are there?"
Tie Tang smiled slightly: "I want to start practicing the second phase of the Ten Jue Hegemony Body reversely, and I can't trust other people including Magistrate Long Yuan.
Lao Wang, come and help me protect the Dharma. Don’t let others disturb me easily.”
"Reverse training of the second phase..." Wang Andao already knows the real method of practicing the Five Phases of the Wild Ox, and has even seen the thick roll of animal skin.
It's just that his technique has long been finalized and there is no way to change it.
After thinking for a long time, Wang Andao finally reacted, slapped his thigh and exclaimed.
"You have penetrated one hundred and forty-four acupoints?"
