The moment he saw the body, the landlord collapsed instantly.
No matter how mentally prepared he was, no matter how indifferent he was to life and death, after all, his whole family was gone and he couldn't control his emotions.
However, the Imperial people did not believe in tears after all. He only cried for a few minutes before gritting his teeth and contacting the city guards.
After the city guards arrived, they checked each deceased person and began to ask him what happened.
Although the landlord was not a professional, he could tell from the decomposition of the body that his family member had been dead for more than a day.
He has never heard of any awakened person that can speed up the decomposition of corpses, so his family must have died at the hands of kidnappers.
It is impossible to say that he does not hate the tenants and his group. If those people did not show up, how could anything happen to his family?
However, the deceased is dead, and his first priority now is to avenge his family.
Secondly, the tenant may be more arrogant than the kidnapper, and he has been openly threatened.
Thinking of this, he felt a faint pain again in his newly connected arm.
Thinking about it from another angle, how did the other party know where the kidnapper buried his body? Obviously, he couldn't have bumped into him on the spot.
The technical staff of the City Guard determined this - the time of death of the deceased was the night of the kidnapping.
The landlord had reason to believe that the tenants should have caught at least some of the kidnappers and interrogated them to find out where the bodies were buried.
Then there is another question. If one of the kidnappers slips through the net, who is more trustworthy, the tenants or the city guards?
Landlords believe that aggressive tenants are more reliable.
If the city guard was really so trustworthy, he would have called the police as soon as his family was kidnapped.
Moreover, the kidnapper's request was to sell the manor to the government after evicting the tenants. How could this not make him doubtful?
Some of the city guards were inspecting the site, and some were questioning him, how did he discover this place?
The landlord replied without hesitation, "I dreamed about it...I thought I couldn't find anyone to try my luck."
This answer is a bit excessive, but it cannot be said to be deliberately causing trouble.
Even with the development of science and technology in the empire, there is still no scientific explanation for the soul.
The current mainstream thinking is that the soul exists objectively, after all, it has been observed.
But where does this thing come from, where is it going, especially whether there is an afterlife... There is no authoritative answer to this.
Even the theory of "seizing the body" has many Supreme Beings who express doubts, and almost none can truly master it skillfully.
When Paranoid met Qu Jianlei, the reason why he approached Qu Jianlei cautiously was also due to this factor.
If he could seize the body skillfully, he might really be able to do it. The key is that he himself is not sure.
It wasn't until he heard that Qu Jianlei also talked about seizing a body and promised to help him find a body that he agreed.
When he did the specific operation, he still didn't have much confidence in his heart, but he had food in his mouth and would not be willing to give it a try.
Anyway, the way he exists is already like that, how much worse can it be? It's better to risk death.
This is a bit far-fetched. The key is that in a society with such advanced technology, the theory of reincarnation is often mentioned.
So the dreams that family members entrust cannot be considered to be false - although the probability of their occurrence is almost legendary.
A more scientific explanation is that it is somewhat similar to the supreme release of mental power, which can not only perceive but also transmit some thoughts.
As for how ordinary people can do this, that really belongs to the realm of metaphysics.
Anyway, the reason given by the landlord made the city guards a little upset, "Speak carefully and don't say such nonsense!
"
"That's the truth," the landlord replied angrily, "My son's family of six is gone. Do I have the heart to joke?"
The city guards still didn't believe it, but they didn't pursue it further - if you don't tell us, we still can't find out?
"You'd better think clearly. The patrols will also come to inspect. They are more professional!"
Patrol guards and city guards both belong to the public security system, but the former has a higher status and correspondingly greater power.
When the landlord heard this, he felt a little pinched in his heart - he had not made any attempt to hide his recent contacts with the tenants.
Not to mention patrols, even city guards, it is not difficult to verify this information.
But then he thought again, if you want to check, go and check. I want to see what the result will be if you confront them.
He has chosen to rely on tenants, so he has to continue on. In the empire, half-heartedness is not a good quality.
However, at this moment, a city guard ran over and said, "There's something going on over there with the patrol. No one can come for the time being."
"What's going on?" The other city guards became interested after hearing this, and asked all kinds of questions.
It is a pity that the city guard who brought the news did not know what happened. He only heard that the situation was serious.
In fact, even the patrols were confused at this time: How could the second-in-command Halman disappear?
Because Halman had his own lounge, the patrolmen didn't realize at first that he disappeared during the night.
It wasn't until someone came to the headquarters looking for someone in the morning that the patrols were stunned, "He was on the night shift, didn't he go back?"
Halman is the second-in-command of the patrol and has considerable autonomy. Who would be free to check his post?
But the person who came here got the news from Harman's house and knew that he never came home, so he came to the work to look for someone.
Everyone went to the second-in-command's office but found no one. The key was that none of his three attachés were there.
At this time, the patrols felt something strange. Some called Harman's watch, while others checked the surveillance camera.
Then everyone discovered that the second-in-command only had records of entering the headquarters, but no records of leaving!
Not only him, but three of his entourage have only records of their entry, and no images of their departure.
This strange phenomenon proved that 90% of the time there was something wrong, and the patrol headquarters immediately became busy.
It's not clear if other patrols know what Harman has done recently.
But there is no doubt that even if someone knows the secret of the second in command, it is impossible to tell it.
As time goes by, the atmosphere at the patrol headquarters becomes more and more solemn - four people cannot be contacted, something serious has happened!
At this time, the patrols who were on mission outside were all recalled one after another. Why would they care about the new mission?
However, the city guard team at the scene did not realize that what happened to the patrol headquarters was one and the same with the incident in front of them!
Anyway, there is no need for patrols anymore. The city guards also have their own technical staff, but they are just less professional.
No matter how unprofessional it is, there is no problem in checking the communication records, and it is not difficult to check the landlord's whereabouts.
In less than an hour, the city guards had locked in a group of highly suspicious people—it was Qu Jianlei and his friends.
The landlord has been in frequent contact with this group of people lately, and even visits from time to time.
Even this morning, he went to the manor first - even if he is the owner of the manor, there is no need to be so diligent, right?
So there must be something wrong with the tenants in the manor.
Since the landlord won't tell us, let's go find those people. I don't believe that as outsiders, they dare not tell us.
Wait! Ahem...is it Rhodiola's team? Then we must maintain the necessary respect for the Supreme!
In fact, after the city guards knew that the tenant was the Rhodiola rosea team, they didn't even want to deal with this murder.
You really can't mess with matters of the highest importance. Although the city guard is a security force, it still has the attribute of "civilian affairs."
In this case, if they offend the Supreme Being, they may die without knowing how.
Anyway, the water here is too deep, so everyone should just stay out of it.
In fact, someone has already thought of it. It is said that there is currently a Balon Supreme, and it seems that he is planning to deal with Rhodiola Rosea?
A supreme being is enough to make people tremble and fear.
As for being involved in such a super whirlpool like the eye of a storm - how unthinkable would it be to commit suicide like this?
Then, a strange thing happened.
The death of the landlord's son and his family is said to be a big tragedy, and the identity and origin of the tenants indicate that they are probably related to the tragedy - not just anyone can make such a big enemy.
But coincidentally, the city guards investigating the case completely ignored this clue and acted as if they didn't know anything.
The City Guard is a law enforcement agency used to maintain law and order. Although it can be considered a violent machine, most people only think of it as a job.
At the same time, the landlord was also observing Cheng Wei very carefully - after all, he didn't tell the truth, was he guilty?
After observing Cheng Wei's reaction clearly, he felt relieved: Sure enough, you are afraid too.
Qu Jianlei and Mrs. Jia returned to the manor, and did not take the initiative to go out again - the general direction had been set, and they were just to stop quietly.
There were potential enemies observing secretly, which made Qu Jianlei a little distracted - it wasn't that he didn't feel safe, it was because there were real enemies!
Otherwise, what kind of character is Harman? He actually embodies the style of a dead soldier?
However, things in this world are really strange sometimes. He is always wary of the outside world, but his cultivation level improves very quickly.
This really feels like "born in sorrow and dying in happiness". Is this the correct way to attract black physique?
Starting from the second day after he and the old lady returned to the manor, dark clouds slowly began to accumulate in the surrounding area of tens of thousands of square kilometers.
Clouds accumulate very slowly, so slowly that ordinary people can hardly feel it.
People from the local meteorological department discovered this situation and were a little surprised, "Will there be a rainy period at this time?"
It is true that Sky Blade Star occasionally has long rainy periods, but it is not the current period.
"Isn't this unusual? But with such a large area, it's not considered a rainy season. It might dissipate in a few days."
"There is no obvious large warm and humid air flow in the troposphere, which does not support the rainy period hypothesis, but the increase effect is obvious in the short term."
Two days later, the clouds became somewhat thicker and the area reached more than 100,000 square kilometers.
In the manor, Hua Xiezi looked at the sky, "Is it enough for such a large area of clouds?"
Mrs. Jia sat under a big tree and said calmly, "I can still persist."
