"Dean, what are we looking for?" In Xue Yun's room, Wang Xiaoxiao asked in a muffled voice, sweating profusely and panting.
At this moment, the disciples of Dafeng Academy were all crowded in Xue Yun's room. They were rummaging through everything from bookshelves to bedsheets, cabinets to clothes, and even every floor was knocked to confirm.
But just as Wang Xiaoxiao asked, everyone just followed Li Danqing's order to search, but they had no clue what they were looking for.
After hearing Wang Xiaoxiao's question, everyone who had been searching for half an hour cast doubtful glances at Li Danqing.
Li Danqing smiled bitterly and shook his head - he himself also had no idea what he was looking for.
He just remembered that Xue Yun took something from the corpse yesterday, and after Tong Yue caught Xue Yun, he immediately took that thing away from Xue Yun.
Li Danqing was too far away to see the appearance of the thing clearly, but from the vague conversation he heard, he noticed that Xue Yun seemed to have jumped in front of Yong'an Martial Arts School more than once. If his guess was correct, then
Xue Yun must have hidden the thing he obtained before somewhere. If he finds that thing, he may be able to understand the whole story.
"Dean! You didn't say anything. Our general assembly has been searching for so long, but we haven't found anything yet?" Liu Yanzhen's temperament was exactly the same as her father's, lacking patience.
The disciples in the courtyard who had been busy for a long time also looked confused when they heard this.
Li Danqing was a little embarrassed and didn't know how to explain it.
"Everyone, keep looking. The dean will not lie to us." At this moment, Ning Xiu's voice suddenly sounded.
Because of his status and the way he stood up when he was in trouble at Yong'an Martial Arts School that day, Ning Xiu has accumulated enough prestige among many disciples in these days.
She stood up to speak for Li Danqing, and everyone stopped talking. They lowered their heads and started busy looking for her again.
Li Danqing glanced at the other party in surprise. The other party did not say anything, but turned around and continued to search the room.
More than half an hour later, Xue Yun's small room had been turned upside down by everyone. Even Li Danqing himself began to doubt his own judgment, or maybe Xue Yun did not put those things in his room.
He frowned thinking about the situation at that time, and flashed in his mind when Xue Yun was taken away, and he looked back at his open lips.
What on earth did he want to say to himself?
Li Danqing thought secretly, but still had no clue.
At this moment, Xi Wenjun suddenly walked in. When Li Danqing saw him, he winked at her and walked out of the room with her.
"Did you ask?" Li Danqing asked straight to the point.
Xi Wenjun frowned and said, "I have tried every method, but Yuwen Guan is still unwilling to explain."
Such an answer made Li Danqing's heart sink - Li Danqing knew very well what kind of person Yu Wenguan was.
The only way to keep this weakling with no moral integrity is to tell Li Danqing and the others the truth about the matter, then what awaits Yu Wenguan will be a thousand times more terrifying than death.
Yu Wenguan's father was quite powerful in the court, and he was a close confidant of the chief commander of the Shenhe Division. If he could be afraid of something like this, it must be extraordinary.
This bizarre murder that happened in Gale City may be more terrifying than Li Danqing imagined.
Li Danqing frowned a little deeper when he thought of this.
"Where is the identity of the deceased?" Li Danqing asked again.
Lord Xiwen responded in a deep voice: "I have seen it, starting from the seventh day of last month until now.
On that day, excluding the two Yong'an martial arts disciples, a total of twenty-two murders occurred in Da Feng City. The deceased were all male. The youngest was eighteen years old and the oldest was forty-three. There was no pattern in the time of death.
But the families of the deceased were relatively well-off, but they didn’t have much contact with each other, so it shouldn’t be a vendetta.”
Li Danqing pondered for a while after hearing this: "In a small town like Dafeng City, so many murders have occurred in less than two months. Yong'an Martial Arts School has never found the real murderer, but it has not reported it to the court. At the same time,
They seem to know the time of death of the deceased very well, they must know a lot of inside information, and even have some connections with the murderer."
"And if your inference is correct, the method of turning people into mummies is really done by the Youyun Evil Sect. They use certain evil objects to extract the flesh, blood or vitality from the human body to refine what they need.
Things. If we find those things, we may have the bargaining chip to solve the current dilemma, but now we have rummaged almost through Xue Yun's room but still found nothing."
Xi Wenjun also frowned at this time, and she said: "Not only that, when I just went outside the academy, I heard that several gates in Dafeng City have been blocked by people from Yong'an Martial Arts School today, and only allowed
No entry or exit is allowed, it is said to be to search for Xue Yun's associates, but it seems to be aimed at us."
"I just said that after beating away the people from their Yong'an Martial Arts School, why did they disappear? It turned out that they wanted to catch a turtle in a jar for us." Li Danqing said, with a look of surprise on his face.
Lord Xiwen looked solemn and said: "His Yong'an Martial Arts School dared to cause such a big battle today, and he has acted without considering the consequences. I am worried that Tong Yue may want to attack the young master and Dafengyuan.
Kill them all.”
"This shows that the recent murders in Dafeng City are indeed related to Yong'an Martial Arts School, and the secret behind it may involve things beyond our imagination, so that Tong Yue has to take risks and take action against the entire Dafeng Academy."
As Li Danqing said this, he took out a letter from his arms and handed it to Xiwen Jun.
"Now there are informants from his Yong'an Martial Arts School everywhere outside Dafeng City. It is probably unrealistic to leave the city head-on. Take this letter with you and go to Heiyun City to find Liu Zizai and ask him to bring people to rescue."
"Liu Zizai?" Xiwen Jun was a little confused.
"Heiyun City is at least two hundred miles away from Gale City. It will probably take a day and a night to get there. Why not directly ask the other four colleges in Yangshan to come for help?"
"A martial arts school can grow big in Gale City. Although it has something to do with that bastard mountain master, I guess there must be people from Yangshan behind it who are adding fuel to the flames. It's not safe to find them." Li Danqing said.
"But even if Liu Zizai cares about his daughter, he may not be able to trust me. Just a letter can make him send troops to rescue Dafeng City? Do you want to bring Liu Yanzhen with you to make sure nothing goes wrong?" Lord Xiwen asked again.
asked.
Li Danqing shook his head: "It's not easy for you to hide your identity alone. If you bring Liu Yanzhen with you, I'm afraid it will scare the snake. Don't worry, as long as this letter is delivered, Black Cloud City will definitely help.
"
Li Danqing's tone was determined. Xiwen Jun seemed to have thought of something when he heard this. His face changed, but he quickly hesitated and said: "But if I leave, and the people from Yong'an Martial Arts School attack again..."
"At this point, we can only take something from the fire and give it a try. I don't like to sit back and wait for death!" Li Danqing interrupted Lord Xiwen's words.
Lord Xiwen also understood the other party's temperament. At that time, he took a deep look at Li Danqing and said, "Young master, take care of yourself!"
After saying this, she turned around decisively and left quickly.
…
Another half an hour passed, and the sky was already bright. Everyone who had not slept well was experiencing the troubles at Yong'an Martial Arts Hall and this one.
After searching for a long time to no avail, I was very tired both physically and mentally.
Li Danqing also knew that if he continued searching like this, there might be no results, so he stopped everyone and ordered Wang Xiaoxiao to steam some steamed buns for everyone, so that they could have a good rest after eating. He was still in Xue Yun's room,
Look around and look for it.
I don't know if it was because what happened today was too impactful to these disciples, but they did not obey Li Danqing's instructions. They just sat dullly on the steps outside Xue Yun's room, eating steamed buns.
And after Ning Xiu gulped down the steamed buns, she turned around and walked into the room again, wanting to help Li Danqing continue to search.
Li Danqing saw this and said in a deep voice: "You haven't slept all night. Go and rest. Leave this place to me."
Ning Xiu's eyes were red, but she didn't say anything. She just continued to rummage around the room.
Seeing her like this, Li Danqing stepped forward and stretched out his hand to grab her, saying in a strong tone: "Be obedient and go back."
"Xue Yun will be fine."
Ning Xiu said without raising her head: "I don't know what I'm looking for, but I want to save him."
"No, we have turned this room upside down. What we want is not here." Li Danqing said.
These words seemed to break through some of the defenses in Ning Xiu's heart. Her body went limp and she collapsed on the ground.
"Then what should we do? Are we just going to watch him being..."
What happened in the room attracted the attention of everyone outside the room. They gathered around the door, looking a little gloomy, but they didn't know how to comfort Ning Xiu.
"No. The dean will definitely think of a way." Wang Xiaoxiao suddenly said at that time.
But this would obviously not make Ning Xiu feel at ease.
"What can be done...what can be done?" Ning Xiu murmured to himself.
"My dad said, don't do anything on your own."
"Just like before, Xiaobai laid eggs but liked to hide them. I kept looking for them but couldn't find them."
"My dad told me that we can't find the eggs, but we can follow Xiaobai. Xiaobai cares more about the eggs than we do. There will always be a time when he goes to see the eggs, and then we can find the eggs."
The irrelevant stories in Wang Xiao's novel obviously cannot alleviate everyone's concerns.
Wang Xiaoxiao's face turned red when he saw this, and he explained: "What I mean is that even if we can't find anything key, we can think of other ways and start from other places..."
The more he spoke, the more he felt that his enlightenment was of no help to the predicament of the people in front of him. His face became redder and his voice became softer and softer.
"etc."
But at this moment, Li Danqing's expression suddenly changed.
He looked at Wang Xiaoxiao and recalled the other party's story of "chasing the chicken to find the egg" in his mind - since he couldn't find the key information from Xue Yun's room, he would start with the victims.
The family is well-off, and the men are all young adults.
These conditions all show that the other party has obvious tendencies in choosing objects.
And if you want to plant that terrible thing in these people's bodies without knowing it, you obviously need a reasonable place to hide it from others.
Men, young adults, from a good family background...
Where are these people likely to go?
As Li Danqing thought this, his brows furrowed deeper and deeper, but at that moment, the words on Xue Yun's twitching lips flashed through his mind.
His pupils suddenly dilated at that moment, and an answer was about to come out——
