No longer paying attention to the empty cells, Lin Ji ran forward quickly.
After not walking far, I saw a person lying in a half-covered cell.
When he got closer, he saw that he was a monk in his forties with a long beard.
This man looked somewhat familiar, as if he had met him at the Jingzhou General Office.
"Mr. Lin, Capt. Zhao..." He Kui, who was chasing after him, had a face full of shock.
Lin Ji checked his blood and found that it was already cold.
Judging from the state of the deceased, he should have died a day ago.
one day ago?
At this time yesterday, Lin Ji was chasing Mr. Li Nan.
Except for him, the four major families in Weicheng are all fighting on their own.
In fact, all the disciples in the city who had some level of cultivation were either manning the magic sealing formation or fighting in all directions.
In other words, the area near the water prison, where few people come, is even more empty.
Someone took advantage of this chaos to kill Zhao Weiguo!
"He Kui, what level of cultivation is Zhao Weiguo?" Lin Ji asked.
"Stronger than me, early stage of the Sixth Realm."
"You are already qualified to be promoted to a star official at the early stage of the Sixth Realm, but this person is willing to guard the Weicheng Water Prison here?" Lin Ji thought to himself, "The monks in the Sixth Realm can already leave their bodies and travel during the day. There are many embankments. From
Judging from the situation at that time, he was fatally struck by a blow in an unprepared state! To be able to do this, you must at least have the strength of the peak of the Sixth Realm!"
"Not to mention, he doesn't have any scars on his body. He died after his soul was killed!"
"Sir, what do you think this is?" He Kui suddenly pointed at a stone fairway that rolled to the corner of the room.
Lin Ji picked it up and took a look. What kind of stone ball was there?
But a stone Buddha head!
Although he has the appearance of a Buddha, his expression is very strange. It is not compassion, not anger, but contempt...
It was as if the Buddha suddenly rolled his eyes at someone.
There is no dust on the Buddha's head, and it is even polished to be extremely round and smooth. It should be something that is often rubbed in the hand.
"Is this something from Zhao Weiguo?" Lin Ji handed it to He Kui and asked.
"I've never met." He Kui shook his head and said, "Although we are both colleagues of Supervisor Tiansi, we have only met each other a handful of times. Weicheng has always been peaceful, and there are four major families guarding it, so there is almost nothing
Monsters and evil things must be dealt with by Supervisor Tiansi. Usually, he is practicing in the water prison and almost no one is seen."
"I've never come this far before. The last time I came here, I just shouted at the door and he came out on his own." He Kui replied.
Avoid others and hide in the water prison every day to practice?
This is not a blessed place of spiritual energy. Why did he...
Lin Jidian suddenly let go of the Buddha head in his hand.
Boom!
Boom, boom, boom!
The Buddha's head fell to the ground and made a series of muffled sounds.
That’s right!
That was the sound just now.
But Zhao Weiguo has been dead for a day, so why did the Buddha's head fall to the ground just now?
Is it possible...
At this time, besides He Kui and I, there are...
Suddenly, Lin Ji turned around and asked: "You said on the way that there was an old man imprisoned in this water prison? What was that old man's background? And why was he imprisoned here?"
"This..." He Kui recalled carefully: "I don't know much about it. I just know that the old man was a snake catcher and he shouldn't have any background."
"About...a few days after the Zhao family contracted the plague and died."
"At that time, Capt. Zhao sent me to Jingzhou to deliver a secret letter. When I came back, I heard rumors in the city that Zhao Weimin was drunk and kicked the old man.
The son was filled with hatred, so he grabbed a green mango and bit Zhao Weimin. Seeing that he was not dead, he mixed a huge poison and put it in the well of Zhao's house, and then the plague spread."
"Zhao Weiguo was the only one in the Zhao family who hid in the water prison all day long to practice and escaped. Then he arrested the old man to vent his anger and tortured him to death in the water prison. Such a big thing happened in the home of Chief Inspector Tiansi
Son, in public and in private...this is nothing, right? Anyway, after a few days of chatting, no one will mention it again."
He Kui said clearly.
Lin Ji paced back and forth with his hands behind his back, carefully recalling the key points.
As he was walking, he suddenly stopped: "You mean you were sent by Zhao Weiguo to deliver the letter to the capital?"
"Yes, although he doesn't take too much care of things, he is the chief arrester after all. He said that this letter is very important and others are worried about sending it, so I can only obey."
"Who is the letter to?" Lin Ji asked.
"He only said to hand it over to the General Director, but didn't say to whom specifically. Anyway, I personally handed it over to Mr. Shen."
"Which Master Shen?" Lin Ji asked.
"It seems to be called Shen Lian! I just arrived at the headquarters and happened to meet Mr. Shen."
Lin Ji became more and more confused that so many people were involved behind this!
How many little-known secrets are hidden in Weicheng, which seems to be the most peaceful place?
But now, the Zhao brothers involved, the suspected snake catcher, and even the most likely insiders, the heads of the four major families and Shen Lian, are all dead! Who should I ask?
Suddenly, the green sword seemed to be checked, and it trembled slightly.
Lin Ji was completely unaware.
"Let's go to the water prison." Lin Ji stepped out of the door and continued walking forward.
He Kui was stunned and asked very strangely: "Sir, isn't this a water prison?"
"Where's the water?" Lin Ji asked as he walked: "The surrounding areas are either stone walls or dust. Where can there be even a drop of water?"
He Kui said with a smile: "You don't know something, sir. The name of this prison is Water Prison! I was also very surprised when I first came here. Later I heard that there are four big monsters in Weicheng. The green hill can't come out, and the stone trees can be harvested."
, the water prison suffers from drought, and the women drag themselves in the sand."
"Oh? That's interesting." Lin Jizhen said with great interest, "Tell me, where is the blame?"
He was talking, but his feet didn't stop at all, and even suddenly sped up a bit.
He Kui hurriedly followed up and said slightly out of breath: "This Qinggang, it's a kind of snake, the most venomous snake in the local area, but it only moves around the Qinggang Mountain area and never goes far away. This stone,
It’s about jadeite. This kind of stone is not on the ground, but it grows on..."
Before He Kui could finish speaking, Lin Ji suddenly swung his long sword, and a ray of green light pierced towards the end of the corridor!
"ah!"
As the sword light exploded, a muffled groan suddenly came from the darkness in the distance, and then, a blurry black shadow fled towards the depths of the water prison very quickly.
"Where to escape!" Lin Jiduan shouted and disappeared.
There was blood on the sword, and the man was injured.
Even though Lin Ji shouted fiercely, he deliberately moved a little slower and kept the distance not too far or too close.
The man ran like crazy until he reached the end of the corridor and suddenly disappeared.
Lin Ji stopped and fell back to the ground. Looking at the unexcavated stone wall in front of him, he suddenly smiled and thought to himself: "I had already noticed when I came here just now. The corridor at the main entrance of the water prison is wide at first and narrow at the end. It is clearly the same place as before.
Even if you rush out of the trap set for the Dragon Clan, you will never come back. So the Dragon Clan back then must have taken another secret path!"
