The team members communicated via voicemail and discussed the case.
Xiang Chen didn't say a word, but he was already contacting the Ye family under his command in the North. Ye Qingshan's branch of the Ye family was also in the North.
In the Divine Machine Mirror, Ye Qingshan’s spiritual thoughts were quickly transmitted through the Internet.
"Son."
"Qingshan, do you know about the imperial tribute being robbed in the north?" Xiang Chen asked straight to the point.
"I know, this matter is making a big fuss here in the North, but I don't seem to know what force did it." Ye Qingshan replied.
Xiang Chen asked again: "How many forces in the north are capable of robbing the emperor's tribute?"
"There are two, one is the Li family, and the other is the Liu family. But in the entire northern part of the Northern Thunder Sea Star Territory, there are many more forces. At least more than ten forces have this strength. Young Master, are you participating in the investigation of this
Case?"
"Yes, you mobilize the people of the Ye family to help me pay more attention to these forces. If there is anything useful, report it to me immediately."
"Okay, I will contact you immediately if there is any news."
After breaking off the communication with Ye Qingshan, Leng Xiu also asked Xiang Chen: "Xiu Chen, what do you think?"
Xiang Chen thought for a while and expressed his opinion: "Since the internal investigation has focused on the Li family, the Li family is the most suspect, but I think that if I were the Li family, I would not rob the emperor in the north.
Jie, wouldn’t it be easy for suspicion to be placed on oneself?”
Leng Xiu nodded and said: "That's true. If you can rob the emperor's tribute, you are definitely not weak. If you reduce the scope to the northern border, only two families have this strength. If I were the Li family, I would not rob in the northern border.
"
Lao Zhu said: "We can't rule out the possibility that the other party will use this idea of darkness under the lamp to create difficulties for us. If it is the Li family who robs the emperor's tribute in the northern territory, the chance of success will be greater than in other places."
Xiang Chen narrowed his eyes slightly and said, "Is there a possibility that while someone wants to rob the emperor's tribute, they also want to put this shit basin on the Li family's head."
As soon as these words came out, everyone present looked at Xiang Chen in surprise.
Xiang Chen smiled and said: "It's just an idea."
"No, it's also possible!" Leng Xiu said solemnly: "The robbery was carried out within the Li family's territory, framed by the Li family, and the disaster was diverted to the east."
"Then let's speculate that if it wasn't done by the Li family, it must have been done by an enemy of the Li family or something like that."
Chu Fei said in a deep voice: "But the place being robbed is covered by the divine net. When the opponent wants to rob, he blocks the divine net at the same time. With this ability, the Li family is the most suspect."
Xiang Chen suggested: "Brother Leng, I suggest that we go to the place where we were robbed and see if we can find any clues."
"That's what I mean, let's set off now."
Leng Xiu also had the same idea, and a group of people rushed towards the teleportation array.
Soon after, they took the teleportation array to the area where the Northern Continent is located.
Arriving at the city in the north, Leng Xiu took them to the place where the imperial tribute was robbed.
It was above a barren forest mountain range. After everyone arrived, they also saw that other teams from Ye Ming Division had already arrived.
The green ghost and others are also exploring here, and there are a large number of troops stationed around to protect the scene here.
Many places in this wild forest and mountain range have collapsed, with traces of battles, huge pits, and cracks like rift valleys.
However, the energy here is extremely chaotic and has been deliberately disturbed and covered up by someone.
Leng Xiu brought people here, showed his identity and was let in. He asked people to disperse and began to check the situation here.
Xiang Chen came to a pit created by an energy explosion and looked at the huge pit with a diameter of ten thousand feet. Only the Lord God and the powerful above could create such destructive power in the Superior God Realm.
He grabbed a handful of dirt and sniffed it. His nose turned into a wolf's nose, and his sense of smell was fully activated.
There is a very messy atmosphere and energy left in the soil, and it is impossible to distinguish individual ones.
Xiang Chen went to other places to check, and came to a huge straight rift, which should have been cut by a sword or something, and it was difficult to distinguish the sword energy in it.
Xiang Chen probed carefully, his eyes widening, looking for any clues he could find.
Suddenly, I came to a place in the rift valley, bent down and picked up a grain of sand-like debris.
He looked at the grain of sand and narrowed his eyes slightly.
"It's not an ordinary grain of sand. This is the remaining fragments of the refined purple divine iron. It's a fragment of a broken artifact."
He collected the sand and then checked other places. In other places, he also found some sand-like objects, which were artifact fragments.
These debris are really hard to find without paying attention.
"Brother Leng Xiu, are the troops escorting the imperial tribute soldiers from Prince Luan's palace, right?" Xiang Chen asked.
Leng Xiu responded: "Yes, did you find anything?"
"I found something. Come and take a look."
After hearing this, Leng Xiu immediately teleported over and appeared in front of Xiang Chen.
Xiang Chen took out these scraps, Leng Xiu took a look at them and frowned: "Sand, what does this prove?"
"No, it's not sand, it's artifact fragments. These are fragments of broken purple iron that has been refined. It may have been left by the escorting troops, or it may have been left by those who robbed the emperor's tribute."
Leng Xiu's eyes lit up, he took the sand and looked at it carefully, and said in surprise: "It's really true."
He immediately became excited and said: "I immediately asked someone to check the escorting troops, but someone used purple iron as the artifact. If it doesn't belong to the escorting troops, it belongs to the robbers."
Xiang Chen smiled and nodded, this was what he wanted to check.
Leng Xiu immediately contacted someone to help investigate.
The people who checked over there responded quickly.
At that time, no one in the escort force used artifacts forged from purple iron.
If it's not escorting the troops, it belongs to the robbers.
Xiang Chen immediately analyzed some of the qi contained in it, and then coldly investigated those forces, which liked artifacts forged with purple iron.
He found in many ruins that it was obviously not one person's artifacts that used this material, but many people's artifacts that used this material.
After checking for a long time, the Intelligence Department's intelligence investigation showed that it was still a divine cultivator of the Li family, who had a large number of artifacts forged from purple iron, because the Li family had a purple iron vein.
"In that case, it was the Li family's doing." Leng Xiu looked at the handful of purple iron scraps collected by everyone in his hand, and carefully twisted them.
"Captain, this is the evidence. Based on this, we can convict the Li family." Team member Zhou Wei said excitedly.
"That's right, with this evidence, the Li family can't escape its involvement."
"Haha, what are you waiting for? Just report it. We can't let others take the credit for the discovery."
Everyone looked excited, Leng Xiu also showed a smile, and smiled at Xiang Chen: "Good brother, I owe you a favor, but you are still narrow-minded."
Xiang Chen held the purple iron shard in his hand but fell into deep thought.
When Leng Xiu was about to contact him to report it, he was suddenly stopped by Xiang Chen.
