On the way back, Qianyu kept thinking about a question. Is Zhao Ruxun really as kind as the citizens said? Or is the "Great Good Man" just an identity he uses to disguise himself?
Qianyu did not tell the honest monk about his suspicions. Before there is conclusive evidence, no matter how many speculations there are, they are just empty words.
He wants to find evidence!
"Let's go and report the situation to City Lord Liao first." Monk Honest led Qianyu to the City Lord's Mansion. The City Lord's Mansion is located in the center of the City of Shadows and is not heavily guarded. This is Liao Yunchuan's arrangement.
Liao Yunchuan felt that if you are upright, you are not afraid of slanting shadows. As long as you don't do anything bad, there is nothing to be afraid of. Therefore, there is not even a guard at the gate of the huge city lord's mansion, and anyone can come in and out at will. Unexpectedly, the city residents
They all abide by the rules, and even people passing by the gate have no idea of going in and taking a look.
Under the recommendation of the honest monk, Qianyu easily met Liao Yunchuan. Liao Yunchuan was in his late thirties and looked like he was in his forties or fifties. He was energetic and very graceful. He was neither humble nor overbearing in his conversation, and he was also very easy-going in his treatment of others. He left a lasting impression on Qianyu.
Made a good impression.
Regarding the disappearance case, Qian Yu and Liao Yunchuan exchanged their thoughts with each other. In fact, there was nothing to communicate. There is currently no clue to the case and there is no way to investigate it. Liao Yunchuan did not blame them, but encouraged: "As long as you have patience, you can definitely find out the truth.
.”
Qianyu nodded, and then asked: "City Lord Liao, I have a question I want to ask you about, I don't know..."
"But it doesn't matter."
"What kind of person is Zhao Ruxun?" Qianyu wanted to hear the city lord's opinion.
"You have asked the right person. I have been friends with him for more than ten years. Although he is not handsome, he is kind-hearted and willing to help others. He is also extremely talented, whether it is spiritual gathering skills or spiritual practice.
, he has very profound attainments. In terms of life, he likes to be alone and in a quiet environment. In terms of personality... he is a bit contradictory. Sometimes he is very talkative and easy-going. Sometimes he is very paranoid, and no one wants to change him.
Thoughts. He is a bit perfectionist, but he can also accept imperfect things." Talking about Zhao Ruxun, Liao Yunchuan's chat box opened up, which was very helpful for Qianyu's investigation.
Liao Yunchuan continued: "An incident happened two years ago, which hit him hard. His fiancée passed away due to illness. He could not accept it and has been looking for a way to resurrect. People cannot be resurrected after death. This is the way of heaven. How can humans do this?
Shengtian? I have persuaded him many times, and every time he promised me to give up this idea, but I know that he is still looking for it privately. Alas, he is also an infatuated person, trapped by love."
"What kind of disease does his fiancée have? Even a fifth-grade spiritual gathering master like him can't cure it?" Qianyu was very curious.
"I don't know this. I only know that his wife lay on the bed all day long, unable to move, eat or drink. As she lay there for a long time, her body functions gradually failed, and finally she was unable to recover."
Hearing this symptom, Qianyu was helpless and could only bow his head helplessly.
"Actually, Ru Xun has countless admirers in the City of Shenying. As long as he is willing, countless girls are willing to marry him. More than ten years ago, Shenying was just a slightly larger village. At that time, I
Not the city owner. Because the place we live is close to the mountains and forests, the people in the village rely on the mountains to eat, just like hunting ferocious beasts in the mountains and forests. Once I accidentally disturbed the Kirigakure macaques in the mountains and forests, and the macaques killed and injured most of the young people in the village.
, I was also dying at the time. Ru Xun stood up, used his powerful cultivation to defeat the macaque, and then used the spirit gathering technique to heal all the injured in the village. It can be said that if Ru Xun had not been there that time, the entire
The villages will all be destroyed. Without Ruxun, perhaps there would be no Shenyin City."
"It was also because of that disaster that Ru Xun attributed all the credit to me, but he walked away without leaving any credit or fame. Therefore, I became the city lord and took over the City of Divine Shadow. In this case of disappearance,
I once consulted Ru Xun, investigating the age of the missing woman, and registering the names and addresses of all women, which were all strategies he gave me." Liao Yunchuan was very truthful and told everything that happened.
Any exaggeration.
After hearing about Zhao Ruxun's past, his image suddenly became much taller in Qianyu's mind. It turned out that Zhao Ruxun had accomplished such a feat before.
"Donor Zhao is really a saint!" The honest monk listened very enthusiastically and couldn't help but praise.
"For the citizens of the City of Divine Shadow, Ruxun is a god-like existence. He will distribute daily necessities and healing elixirs to poor people for free from time to time, receive patients for free, and his attitude is very kind. But he
One characteristic of him is that every time he does good deeds, he wears a human skin mask to cover up his original appearance. Therefore, the people in the city only know Zhao Ruxun's name, but not his appearance. Even I can't
Determine his true appearance, because the first time he met me, he was wearing a human skin mask."
"So, what we saw today..."
"That's right. He is a low-key person and doesn't like to show off. Even when I see him, he never shows his true colors. What's more, you and he are strangers..." Liao Yunchuan's explanation dispelled Qianyu's doubts.
.
Qianyu began to feel that Zhao Ruxun was a bit unpredictable.
"Report!"
Suddenly, a hurried voice came from outside the door, and a cultivator who looked like a guard rushed in and said loudly: "City Lord, another girl is missing!"
"What's going on?" Liao Yunchuan immediately stood up and asked worriedly. Qianyu and the honest monk also hurriedly listened.
"This afternoon, when we were patrolling the city, we discovered that a girl was missing from the gangster team near the slums. We suspected that she was missing."
"Already searched?"
"We searched, searched the entire slums, and the deserted suburbs outside the city, and found nothing."
"Tell me the girl's name and address."
"Report, no... no record."
"Why is there no record?" Liao Yunchuan was a little confused and a little angry at the same time.
"Because, there are more than 300,000 people in the City of Divine Shadows, and only about 270,000 people actually have homes. Ten thousand are floating population, and more than 20,000 are idle gangsters and casual cultivators. These people have no relatives or friends.
We don’t have a fixed place to live, and if we want to register them all, we don’t have enough manpower..." the guard argued helplessly.
Hearing this, Liao Yunchuan frowned. What the guard said was true, "Has anyone seen her last time?"
"Yes!" the guard nodded immediately. "The boss of the bun shop saw her in the morning. She stole a few meat buns and ran away. A teenager paid for her. The boss said she had a nickname called "Little Liar".
Cheating and stealing in the slums."
"Has the identity of that young man been found?"
The guard shook his head and said: "The boss said that the young man is a foreign cultivator and does not look like a resident of the city."
Liao Yunchuan was a little disappointed. Qianyu suddenly spoke and pointed at himself: "If you are right, the young man you are talking about... should be me..."
