A sharp whistle spread throughout the world, and along with the sound of hurried footsteps, this tense day suddenly began.
Groups of divine guards wearing golden armor strode across, surrounding the long street layer by layer. Xuanyuan Zhan was holding a golden gun and wearing a divine helmet, looking at the corpses on the ground with a gloomy expression.
Four corpses, all decapitated, three men and one woman, died in extremely miserable conditions. The four heads were arranged in a row, and the wax tears on their foreheads had dried and hardened, sticking to their faces. There was something indescribably weird about them.
"What a cruel method! Behead the head, light the soul candle, and prevent the deceased from reincarnation forever!" Xuanyuan Zhan's face was terrifyingly gloomy.
"General, the search has been completed. Look." A divine guard came over quickly and handed out four dark wooden signs in his hand.
Xuanyuan Zhan looked down, his pupils suddenly tightened, and his heart felt like a big stone was pressing down, extremely heavy.
These four people are actually students of Shendu Academy! This is troublesome!
He slowly tightened his grip on the spear, took a closer look, and suddenly changed his color and said, "It's Ouyang Jing! Hurry! Inform General Ouyang!"
Of course the divine guards know who General Ouyang is. There is only one general named Ouyang in this divine capital city.
Xuanyuan Zhan took a deep breath and knew the seriousness of the matter. He shook his head and said: "Notify the Divine Capital College, notify the family of the deceased, and report to the God Emperor."
"Yes!" Several groups of divine guards responded loudly and rode away.
In the distance, on the balcony of Shendu Inn, two figures stood side by side, looking at the street quietly without any expression on their faces.
Han Qiu said slowly: "Ouyang Yu followed Xuanyuan Kuang, the king of the four directions, on the battlefield in his early years, and made great military achievements. He was made a general of the town and a first-class military prince. The trouble you caused is really not small."
Gu Que smiled coldly and said: "I never cause trouble. Most of the time it's others who make trouble for me. By the way, how do you know my whereabouts?"
Han Qiu said expressionlessly: "I can see with my eyes that they planned to kill Tang Yiyong and put the blame on you, but unfortunately they failed."
Gu Que was shocked and stared: "Your Eyes of Deception are so magical? Can you see everything?"
Han Qiu said: "The Eyes of Deception can see the present, past and future, but I can't reach that state! Moreover, the past and future are full of cause and effect, I don't dare to look randomly, otherwise I will end up like the old man."
Gu Que suddenly laughed: "There are still things you dare not do, haha!"
Han Qiu shook his head and said, "Don't forget our agreement. I want you to repay the favor you owe me. You can't refuse."
Gu Que frowned and said, "But with my strength, I really don't know what I can do to help."
"You'll know."
One night, four people were killed at the same time, which was particularly rare in the peaceful city of Shendu.
The gods were shocked, countless cultivators took action upon hearing the news, and countless people watched the excitement.
The other three city-protecting generals also rushed over, their faces extremely gloomy. This incident was undoubtedly a slap in their faces.
The first person to arrive was the perverted dean of Shendu College. He hunched over and glanced at the wooden sign. After confirming his identity, he stood there, motionless, with no emotion or anger on his face.
Gu Que understood that in fact, this old guy didn't care at all! Because these students did not die in Shendu College, but died outside. There is an essential difference.
Shendu College is a very tolerant place. Students can come in and out at any time. Everyone knows that Shendu College only ensures the safety of students in the school. As for outside the school, hey! How can there be no enemies in life? Is it so strange that a few people have died?
Soon, a scream came, and a majestic figure cut through the sky and landed firmly on the ground.
This middle-aged man was wearing military uniform. When he lowered his head and looked down, his figure suddenly shook and he shouted: "Jing'er!"
With this shout, he immediately lost strength and knelt down.
Xuanyuan Zhan said quickly: "General Ouyang, my condolences!"
Big shots arrived one after another, and there were more and more cultivators outside. Even the students from Shendu College ran over quickly when they heard that four classmates had died.
Then, Xuanyuan Kuang also came, fell from the sky, looked at the corpse on the ground, his face was also gloomy.
"Xuanyuan Zhan! What do you do for a living! This place is less than five miles away from the Heavenly Palace, and such a terrible murder happened. Is that how you act as the general of the city guard?"
Xuanyuan Kuang had a bad temper and immediately shouted loudly, pointing at Xuanyuan Zhan's nose and scolding him.
Xuanyuan Zhan was shocked when he heard this, and immediately knelt down and said loudly: "This general has neglected his duty, please punish me!"
As soon as these words came out, the other three city guard generals also knelt down and clasped their fists.
"Punishment!" Xuanyuan Kuang was so angry that he couldn't help but swear, "Can punishment bring back General Ouyang's son? Has the murderer been found?"
Xuanyuan Zhan did not dare to stand up, and clasped his fists and said: "Not yet, but we can confirm that the murderer is a swordsman, and his martial arts level is probably in the early stage of Nirvana."
Xuanyuan Kuang said sternly: "Do you know how many swordsmen there were in the early days of Nirvana? Keep checking for me! We must find the murderer!"
"yes!"
Xuanyuan Kuang said to the perverted dean again: "Old man Yin, do you have any clues?"
The perverted dean said: "No, these people left the college yesterday afternoon and have never returned."
"Did you have any grudges with anyone before?"
The perverted dean frowned, and a name suddenly came to his mind, but he said slowly: "No, with Ouyang Jing's status, no one is willing to have a grudge with him."
"There is someone who has a grudge against him!"
At this moment, a voice suddenly sounded loudly. Along with the voice, Xuanyuan Mo strode into the venue, hugged Xuanyuan Kuang and said, "I have met Uncle Wang."
"Mo'er? Do you have any opinion on this matter?" Xuanyuan Kuang frowned.
Xuanyuan Mo glanced at the perverted dean and said loudly: "Yesterday, Tang Yiyong, a student of Shendu College, was assassinated and died by a sharp knife! All the evidence points to Gu Que!"
Xuanyuan said silently: "That's right! But later, Teacher Su Xue used the technique of Mirror Flowers and Water Moon to barely clear Gu Que's suspicion, but Gu Que always believed that Ouyang framed him!"
Xuanyuan Mo looked at everyone present and continued: "Uncle Wang, you are also aware of the previous grievances between Gu Que and Ouyang. I suspect that Gu Que was resentful and believed that Tang Yiyong was the victim of Ouyang, so he killed someone late at night!"
"What evidence do you have that he is the murderer?"
A cold voice suddenly came, and along with the voice, a figure in white clothes walked in. His eyebrows were like distant mountains, and his eyes were like autumn water. It was Su Xue.
Gu Que's figure was shocked. Didn't Su Xue go into seclusion? Why did he appear here again?
Yes, she knew herself so well that she must have guessed that she had killed the person, so she came out again.
In this situation, it takes a lot of courage for a person to stand up and speak for himself.
This feeling is irresistible! If a woman behaves like this, I, a tall and dignified man, will look effeminate.
Gu Que sighed deeply, and his eyes couldn't help but become gentle.
Han Qiu said with a smile: "You are so beautiful and beautiful, and such a beautiful woman also falls in love with you."
Gu Que said slowly: "I would rather she not participate in this matter."
In the long street, Xuanyuan Mo also sneered when he saw Su Xue coming forward and said: "Teacher Su Xue really protects his lover! Let me tell you, as soon as the news came out, I immediately went to Gu Que's dormitory
!He's not even there!"
Su Xue's face suddenly turned pale, and the word "lover" pierced her heart deeply. She looked around and saw everyone looking at her with contempt in their eyes.
Seeing this scene, Xuanyuan Mo's tone suddenly became louder and he said loudly: "Gu Que has been in school for several months and has never left the academy! But he happened to leave after his brother died. And today, Ouyang's body was discovered! Before contacting me again,
His grudge with Ouyang, coupled with his identity as a swordsman, means he is not the murderer, but who is the murderer?"
As soon as these words came out, the long street suddenly became silent, and you could hear a needle drop.
Ouyang Yu straightened up immediately, with murderous intent in his eyes, and said sternly: "Where is that man now? Find him! I will make him regret living in this world!"
Su Xue was shocked and said quickly: "How can a mere one-sided statement be regarded as evidence?"
Ouyang Yu's expression changed and he said solemnly: "Who are you? How dare you interrupt here?"
He had a son at an old age, but now he has lost all hope and only wants revenge. Of course, his attitude is not very good.
The perverted dean also had a bad temper, and sneered: "Su Xue is a teacher at my Shendu College! The deceased was a student of my college, and the person you suspect is also her student. Why can't she speak?"
"Okay!" Xuanyuan Kuang waved his hand and said: "Why are you making such a fuss! Xuanyuan Zhan, the whole city is searching for Gu Que! Find him first and then talk."
Su Xue's expression changed and she said hurriedly: "Dean, it can't be Gu Que! He won't kill anyone!"
The perverted dean snorted and didn't say anything. It's not like he didn't know Gu Que's temper. He didn't know how to kill people? Hey! It's better to lie to the child!
But these words immediately made Ouyang Yu unhappy again. He raised his big hand, pointed at Su Xue, and said sternly: "Who are you? Your dean didn't even intervene, but you came here to point fingers! Could it be that he is really your lover?
, do you want to protect him from his shortcomings?"
"If General Ouyang didn't investigate the murderer, why did he start caring about other personnel and private matters?"
A faint voice sounded, and a thin figure strode into the arena. Accompanying him was a tall woman in civilian clothes.
Xuanyuan Mo said in shock: "Gu Que! Do you really dare to come?"
Gu Que ignored him, just strode towards Su Xue, grabbed her slender waist with his big hands, looked at Ouyang Yu as if provoking, and said loudly: "I am her lover, and she is my woman, what? General Ouyang doesn't think so.
suitable?"
Ouyang Yu's face suddenly darkened, and a killing intent could no longer be controlled and swept across him.
Su Xue's pretty face suddenly turned red. She felt that all her strength was gone. She tried to push Gu Que away, but failed several times. She quickly whispered: "Gu Que, please let me go!"
Gu Que didn't say anything, just patted her shoulder.
Su Xue was so anxious that she almost cried: "Let me go quickly, there are so many people!"
Gu Que knew that there was something wrong with her heart, so he slowly let go of her and whispered: "Can it be done when there is no one around?"
Su Xue's pretty face turned red, she gritted her teeth and couldn't help but punch Gu Que in the chest.
Gu Que avoided it and smiled at her. He couldn't help but look at Ouyang Yu and said solemnly: "I will tell you today, you are not the one who killed me!"
What he said was righteous, and there was no trace of guilt on his face.
Xuanyuan Mo said loudly: "Impossible! Gu Que, you sneaked out of the campus last night. What were you going to do instead of killing someone?"
"Can't I have a tryst with a woman?" Gu Que said arrogantly.
And Han Qiu's face suddenly darkened. (To be continued)
