The sword energy was flying around the body of the two-headed puppet, but it still ignored it and rushed directly towards Lu Xiaoyue.
Lu Xiaoyue frowned and subconsciously ducked to the side to pass the charge of the two-headed puppet, while adding another sword energy behind it.
But the two-headed puppet was completely unaware and continued to rush forward desperately.
At some point, a figure appeared behind Lu Xiaoyue, it was City Lord Meng Yuanhai.
When Lu Xiaoyue escaped, she turned into him and faced the two-headed puppet!
Meng Yuanhai had a look of horror on his face, as if he had been frightened out of his wits. He looked at the two-headed puppet rushing towards him and stood motionless.
The next moment, the two-headed puppet rushed to his side, pulled out a stone dagger from his chest, and pointed it at Meng Yuanhai's neck.
"Whoever makes a move will die!"
The words of the two-headed puppet were simple and clear, and the threat was quite strong, not like what a puppet could say at all.
However, so far, the people present will probably never regard it as a puppet again.
This guy's IQ is probably no lower than the people present...
Lu Xiaoyue suddenly stood still, looking coldly at the two-headed puppet and Meng Yuanhai in its hands.
At this time, Meng Yuanhai seemed to have come to his senses. For the sake of his own life, he cooperated very well and remained still, allowing the two-headed puppet to toss around him.
"Where do you think you can run?" Lu Xiaoyue asked coldly.
At this time, the two-headed puppet was like a criminal at the end of his rope, trying to find a chance of survival by taking hostages, but unfortunately it encountered Lu Xiaoyue and Jian Zhen.
"You can't control me, I can go wherever I want!" the two-headed puppet roared, his voice excited and his face ferocious.
"Really? Then let's go! As long as you don't harm City Lord Meng, you can go wherever you like!"
Lu Xiaoyue was too lazy to negotiate terms with the other party and directly expressed her opinion.
Isn't the purpose of taking hostages just to escape?
Then I'll let you go, you can go as you please, if you can run away, I'll chase after you!
Neither the two-headed puppet nor Meng Yuanhai expected that Lu Xiaoyue would be so straightforward. They were both stunned for a moment, and then Meng Yuanhai burst into ecstasy and finally said: "You should leave quickly! Since Master Lu has promised to let you go, he must
I won’t chase you anymore!”
"Okay!" The two-headed puppet nodded, suddenly let go of Meng Yuanhai, and then stamped its foot heavily.
With a swish, it dived directly into the ground and turned into a slightly bulging bag.
Seeing this scene, Lu Xiaoyue sneered: "City Lord Meng, do you think it can escape?"
The next moment, sword energy burst out from the two-headed puppet, and a series of crackling sounds were heard.
Since it was underground, everyone only heard a muffled sound and saw the little earth bag shaking a few times, but the two-headed puppet underground had turned into rubble on the ground.
"Bang!"
There was a soft sound, and the small bag of dirt that the two-headed puppet turned into suddenly exploded, countless rubbles scattered in all directions, and smoke and dust filled the air.
After a while, the smoke and dust cleared, and the small dirt bag turned into a big pit. The pit was filled with thumb-sized gravel, not a single piece of which was complete.
Needless to say, everyone knew that the two-headed puppet was dead.
At this point, the last puppet has been destroyed, and there is no more Goshan puppet in Huayin City!
Seeing the rubble on the ground, everyone breathed a sigh of relief, and even Lu Xiaoyue let out a long sigh.
For some reason, Meng Yuanhai was not very happy. He had a cold face. After seeing the gravel in the pit, he turned around and left without saying a word.
At this moment, the shopkeeper of Baixiaolou suddenly stood up and said loudly: "City Lord Meng, stay here!"
"What are you doing?" Meng Yuanhai stopped, turned around and asked, "Isn't the matter settled? Is there anything else?"
"The matter is not over yet!" The shopkeeper waved his hand and said seriously.
"Oh?" Meng Yuanhai raised his eyebrows and asked with a look of displeasure: "What's not settled yet? Pavilion Master Lu has already said that after these puppets are destroyed, Huayin City will be safe. Does Shopkeeper Liao have any objections?
"
"Don't you dare!" Shopkeeper Liao waved his hands repeatedly, saluted Lu Xiaoyue at the same time, and said loudly: "Master Lu, please forgive me for speaking frankly! You just ignored something, and I suddenly thought of it. It happened that City Master Meng was still there.
, so I can’t wait to take it out and solve it!”
Lu Xiaoyue's face suddenly turned red, and she waved her hands quickly, saying: "It's okay, it's okay... If Shopkeeper Liao discovers something, just tell me, no need to be polite to me!"
She felt ashamed of her previous negligence, but she felt very good that Shopkeeper Liao could point it out bluntly.
People always make mistakes and are careless. The most important thing is to know your mistakes and be able to correct them.
"Then I'll tell you the truth!" Shopkeeper Liao straightened up and said loudly: "Both the owner of the hotel and the puppet said before that both victims had been robbed by robbers, so where did these robbers go?
The homeowner is a puppet, and the old man who told the victim the address is a puppet, but those robbers can't be puppets too, right? Their numbers don't seem to match up!"
Robber? Yes!
Lu Xiaoyue suddenly remembered something, her eyes widened instantly, and she turned to look at Mu Yunyan behind her.
Sister Mu said at the beginning that a group of more than a dozen robbers robbed them. She and Tieniu resisted desperately, but in the end they were defeated because of the overwhelming number of people.
It's impossible for a bandit gang of more than a dozen people to be all puppets, right?
Where did they go?
Not only Lu Xiaoyue, everyone present was thinking about this issue, but after thinking about it for a moment, they immediately turned their attention to Shopkeeper Liao.
Since Shopkeeper Liao came forward and spoke about this matter, it means that he must know something.
At this moment, Shopkeeper Liao spoke again: "Huayin City is the most beautiful city in Hanling Kingdom, and it is also one of the cities with the best security. There have been no robbers for decades. Why are there robbers robbing in the suburbs?
What? City Lord Meng, I hope you can give me an explanation!" At this point, he suddenly stretched out a hand and pointed directly at Meng Yuanhai who had already walked to the door.
Meng Yuanhai's expression changed instantly, and he suddenly sneered: "What explanation do you want to hear? Huayin City is so big, how can there be no bandits! Bandits happen every year, but I sent people to eliminate them before they became known to the public.
It’s gone, so you can live and work in peace and contentment! Huayin City is a tourist city, and it depends on a large number of tourists coming to play. If news of bandits spread every year, who would dare to come here to play? "
This...this seems to make sense!
After listening to Meng Yuanhai's explanation, everyone nodded in agreement.
In a city like Huayin City, there really cannot be any bad rumors. Even if there are bandits, they will be eliminated silently and cannot be spread, otherwise tourists will never dare to come again.
Just like this murder case, although only one person died, it received great attention.
The City Lord's Mansion must investigate the case thoroughly before the murder causes panic, and it is best to end the case quietly.
