Immersed in practice, Qianyu cannot feel the change of time at all. He can only feel that the energy in his body is constantly filling, moving closer to a higher realm...
One day, the energy of the Heart of Duel was completely exhausted, and the vitality in Qianyu's body had already reached its peak.
"laugh!"
The eight extraordinary meridians in his body seemed to have been suddenly opened. Qianyu felt unprecedentedly relaxed. He used his spiritual sense to explore and found that the soul in his Dantian turned from black to white. This meant that he had been promoted to the Yuanyang realm.
!
Before absorbing the Heart of Overcoming Disaster, he was only in the late stage of Yuanyin Realm. After completely absorbing it, he broke through two realms in succession. The Heart of Overcoming Disaster is truly a divine thing!
"call……"
Qianyu stretched out comfortably, moved his joints, and suddenly heard a crisp sound like exploding beans, and his whole body seemed to take on a new look.
"It shouldn't take long, right?" Qianyu thought to himself, and took a look at the situation in the room. There were spider webs on the tables and chairs, a layer of dust, and moss on the windowsill. It seemed like it had been there for a long time.
Someone has come to clean this room. This is normal. Before practicing, he told his boss not to disturb him.
He opened the door, but it was locked. So he had no choice but to break out the window. After jumping from the second floor window, he landed right at the entrance of the inn. The boss was startled and said: "Sir, you are finally awake.
!”
"How long has it been?"
"One year and eight months."
"So long?" Qianyu was also surprised. What he was worried about was not the training time, but whether the disappearance case had a result. According to his current cultivation level, it would take at least two years for a normal cultivator to advance to a higher level.
The difference in time and qualifications may take three to five years. His speed of improving to two realms in two years can be described as abnormal, but he himself did not realize it.
"My good disciple, long time no see." A long-lost voice appeared behind Qianyu. Qianyu turned around in surprise, and then saw Zhao Yangtian in a tattered Taoist robe.
"Master?" Qianyu couldn't believe it. What was Master doing in the City of Shadows? Then he saw the honest monk who was walking with Zhao Yangtian.
"Don't be surprised. I came here this time, firstly because I was entrusted by someone, and secondly because I haven't seen you for a long time. I stopped by to see you." Zhao Yangtianyan explained the reason briefly and comprehensively, and then praised: "Not bad, I have made a breakthrough in more than two years since I came out.
He is in the Yuanyang realm, and he is worthy of being my favorite disciple."
Qianyu smiled politely, cupped his hands and said, "Thank you for your teachings, Master."
"Why are you standing here? Let's go into the room and talk." The honest monk led the master and apprentice into the guest room.
"The speed of the donor's cultivation is really beyond my reach." The honest monk praised, he rarely praised others.
"It's just a fluke." Qianyu didn't want to say more, "How is the disappearance case?"
"Hehe, I knew you were going to ask this." The honest monk had already expected it, and then pointed at Zhao Yangtian, "Senior brother, you will talk about your special performance."
"Haha, then I'll start talking." Zhao Yangtian began to talk with excitement...
After Qianyu entered the practice mode, the honest monk could only investigate the case alone. But he knew nothing about investigating the case and did not know how to investigate it. He could only hang out in taverns and spring buildings every day, hoping to hear from drinkers and prostitutes.
Some clues. His hopes were quickly dashed. Two months later, he found nothing, and the case became an unsolved case.
Two more disappearances occurred in the city. The missing men were both men in their forties. These two men were both casual cultivators and their cultivation was at the seventh level of the Solid Yuan Realm. Such cultivation was not considered weak in the City of Divine Shadow.
.Moreover, both of them were kidnapped in the crowd. There were a lot of witnesses, but no one could clearly see the appearance of the murderer. The murderer was dressed in black and masked, only showing a pair of eagle-like eyes. He struck quickly.
The speed is jaw-dropping. From this, it can be inferred that the murderer's cultivation level must be in the Yuan Yin realm or even higher.
Liao Yunchuan found Monk Lao Shi and asked him how he was progressing. Monk Lao Shi had a big head and couldn't say anything. He felt very guilty, so he asked Zhao Yangtian to come out. Zhao Yangtian stopped practicing and came to the City of Shadows to investigate the case.
As a first-level time traveler, he has read many detective stories, so he is very clear about the investigation process. After a disappearance case occurs, first investigate the scene of the crime to see if there are any footprints or hairs of the murderer, and whether there are any witnesses. Then
Then investigate the name, address, habits and hobbies of the missing person, whether he has any family members, and whether he has had any conflicts with others in the recent period. This is to find out the motive of the murderer.
It has to be said that Zhao Yangtian is more experienced than Qianyu in investigating cases. After questioning, the rough suspect was quickly identified. After identifying the suspect, they immediately dispersed the investigation and found the murderer within three days. This person was also
A casual cultivator named Liu Chen. He killed two men and dumped their bodies in the wilderness. The motive for the crime turned out to be that the two men fell in love with the same girl as him, and he did not allow the girl to like other men.
, so he committed this vicious act.
Zhao Yangtian's outstanding detective skills were sought after by Liao Yunchuan, and also attracted the attention of Zhao Rushun. Zhao Rushun took the initiative to meet with him and explore things related to the case with him, and later suggested that he could contact him if he needed elixirs in the future.
.
After the case, Zhao Yangtian was hailed as a detective, which made him extremely happy. When he met people, he said that he was a detective who could solve all cases, and he was full of confidence.
After the City of Divine Shadows was quiet for more than a month, the disappearance happened again. This time, a man and a woman were missing, and they both disappeared while sleeping in the middle of the night. The places where they happened were also very different, in the south and north of the city respectively.
.The two sides are separated by dozens of miles, and even for ordinary cultivators, it takes an hour to go back and forth. But the strange thing is that the two disappearances happened at the same time, because the sound of the flute appeared when the two disappeared, and they appeared at the same time.
.
Detective Zhao Yangtian took action again, first investigating the crime scenes. Both crime scenes were in closed rooms, and there were people guarding outside the rooms. There was no trace of resistance at the scene, and no clues were left behind. The people just disappeared.
This stumped Zhao Yangtian. He visited the parents of the missing man and woman and the guards that night. They all said that it was an ordinary night and nothing special happened. Moreover, the two missing people were housebound.
Type, I rarely interact with people on weekdays, let alone make enemies.
"There are no witnesses, and there is no motive for the crime... What do you think we should do?" Zhao Yangtian suddenly asked Qianyu.
"Maybe we can start with the sound of the flute..."
"I checked the day after the incident. There are about 4,000 people in the city who can play the flute. I can't check all 4,000 people, right?"
Qianyu was speechless for a moment and didn't know how to answer.
"Since then, there have been missing cases every month. Sometimes there are two men, sometimes two women, there are old people and teenagers. And the disappearances all happen in the middle of the night. The same sound of the flute appears, and the same closed environment continues.
So far, the case has not been solved. So far, thirty-two people have disappeared." As he said that, Zhao Yangtian's face darkened and he laughed at himself: "It's a shame that I call myself a detective. After a year and a half of investigation, I can't even find the murderer.
It’s so ironic that no one can find it…”
"Master, this is not your problem, the murderer is too cunning." Qianyu also felt that this case was very difficult and it would be very difficult to find the real murderer.
"Disciple, I have already given up. I will leave this case to you." Zhao Yangtian didn't want to investigate any more. He was tired.
Qianyu respected Zhao Yangtian's decision and nodded solemnly: "Don't worry, Master, leave it to me, I will definitely get to the bottom of it!"
After Zhao Yangtian left, Lao Shishang and Qian Yu took over the case. Two days later, Liao Yunchuan brought news: the murderer was found!
