"Do you suspect it's a ghost?" Hearing him tell the truth of the matter, Bai Xiu couldn't help frowning slightly.

Ye Xuan returned to his seat, clicked the mouse, and the pictures on the computer screen quickly switched.

"I can't rule out this possibility, so I want to ask you for an appraisal. ”

Ye Xuan turned his head to look at him, and saw that his fingers tapped lightly on the table, obviously in deep thought.

After a long time, Bai Xiu reopened his mouth and said, "Maybe things are more complicated than you expected. ”

"What do you mean?" Ye Xuan heard what he meant, and hurriedly asked.

Bai Xiu said in a deep voice: "It is very likely that the cultivator did it. ”

Ye Xuan was taken aback, this situation was really a bit unexpected to him.

After all, he didn't know much about cultivators, except for the Bai family brothers, the other few people he came into contact with were also his partners.

So he almost forgot that there are lawless people among the cultivators.

"Didn't you say that every cultivator must abide by the rules of the sect or clan, and if they violate these conventional conventions, such as killing ordinary people, they will be severely punished?"

Bai Xiu nodded and said, "That's right, even a very small family will follow this principle." But...... How to put it, cultivators don't necessarily have a belonging, and there is also a kind of casual cultivator, they don't have a sect or family, so naturally they won't be subject to any control. Of course, there are very few cultivators like this, and their strength will not be very strong, but it is more than enough to deal with ordinary people. ”

Ye Xuan frowned and said, "In this way, aren't they lawless? But no matter how you say it, they are all cultivators, and if they do bad things, it is your cultivator's reputation that is bad, and you people in the cultivation world don't care?"

Bai Xiu couldn't help but smile and said, "Isn't there a special event team? Speaking of which, the special event team has absorbed cultivators of various races and some casual cultivators, and half of its purpose is to deal with the lawless elements among these cultivators. It can be regarded as a cooperation between the authorities and the spiritual community.

While those who do not join the Special Events Group are not subject to any restraints, it also shows that they do not have the protection of their sects and families.

If they provoke someone, or if they are wanted by a bounty in the cultivation world, it will be a dead end. Because no one cares if they live or die. Not to mention breaking the law and committing crimes, provoking the authorities, the special incident team is not a vegetarian.

Because of this, these stragglers also began to look for factions, families, and forces other than the authorities to support them. ”

Ye Xuan snorted and said, "In this way, they are still a little pitiful. ”

Bai Xiu shook his head and said, "No way, freedom is always relative." In fact, even if they don't join the special events team, as long as they register there and live in peace, no one cares. Since they have embarked on the road of doing evil, it is equivalent to pinning their heads to the waistband of their trousers, and they can't blame others. ”

Of course, Ye Xuan didn't sympathize with those criminals, so he asked, "In this way, it is the most likely that a casual cultivator will commit murder?"

Bai Xiu nodded, then shook his head again, and said, "It is not ruled out that the murderer is a family cultivator, and further inference will have to be seen at the scene before proceeding." Is it convenient to go now? There is still an afternoon to go, and we are just in time to investigate this matter. ”

"No problem, let's go. ”

Although things were a little unexpected to Ye Xuan, it was a good progress to finally have a clue.

He has always been a man of action, so he greeted the rest of the team and drove Bai Xiu to the nearest crime site. This is the residence of the third victim, Zhou. Because of the homicide, this already somewhat remote building is extremely deserted.

"This is the house. When he got upstairs, Ye Xuan opened the door and let Bai Xiu into the house.

It's a very ordinary suite. There was nothing left in the room except a bed, a cupboard, a set of tables and chairs.

"We checked the room, bathroom and kitchen and found nothing out of the ordinary, except for the suspicion of the body itself. Ye Xuan walked around the room and turned back to Bai Xiu.

Seeing that he couldn't help frowning, Ye Xuan's heart moved, and asked, "Is there a situation?"

Bai Xiu nodded, walked straight to the only window in the room, and reached out to touch the tightly covered curtains.

Ye Xuan couldn't help but follow, but he looked at it carefully for a while and didn't find anything abnormal.

"What did you find?" he asked.

Bai Xiu lowered the curtain and said very firmly: "It's the traces of a cultivator." The spiritual power fluctuations here are very dense, and there is absolutely no mistake. ”

Ye Xuan sighed lightly, spread his hands, and said, "It seems that this case can only be handed over to the Special Events Team." By the way, can you tell if the murderer is a casual cultivator or a family cultivator?"

Bai Xiu shook his head and said, "This can't be concluded for the time being, we have to go to the other two places to see if there are any other clues." ”

Ye Xuan nodded, decisively locked the door and went downstairs with Bai Xiu.

He didn't know much about the things in the cultivation world, but he believed in Bai Xiu's judgment.

Not long after, they came to the second place of the crime, which was the residence of the No. 1 victim, Zhao.

Similar to the previous situation, after the murder, the place was also a lot more deserted.

The two went upstairs, and Bai Xiu immediately began to investigate.

He soon came to the conclusion that "it was the same person, and it was more complicated than I expected." ”

Ye Xuan's heart moved, and he said in a deep voice: "You mean, nine times out of ten, this murderer is a family cultivator?"

Bai Xiu nodded in response, "That's right." The strength of ordinary casual cultivators will not be very strong, the fluctuations of spiritual power will be relatively weak, and the spiritual pulse path will be relatively mixed, which can be easily identified.

And in the two places we just checked, the spiritual power fluctuations were not only very dense, but also very clean, which was definitely something that only specially trained family cultivators could do. ”

Ye Xuan couldn't help asking, "Then can you tell which family he is?"

Bai Xiu took another turn around the room and sighed, "That's why I said that things are more complicated than I expected.

The cultivator of each sect or family will have a certain number of paths in the process of spiritual movement, and his origin can basically be judged by the number of paths he has. But there is one possible exception, and that is the family secret method. ”

"Family secret method?" Ye Xuan touched his chin thoughtfully and said, "It's something like the unique school mentioned in martial arts novels?"

Bai Xiu couldn't help but smile and nodded, "Almost."

However, there are also two types of family secret methods, one is the family secret method that is already known in the cultivation world. It's like a living signboard, basically representing the identity of a family. For example, the family secret method of the Fang family, a famous practitioner family, is the Imperial Shadow Technique. Those who use this method are the only one, and there are no other branches.

And the other is the secret knowledge in the true sense that no one has ever seen and only family members will know. ”

Ye Xuan suddenly understood, and said, "That is, the signature moves and secret weapons of each family? So you suspect that the perpetrator is very likely to have killed these three people with some unknown secret mastery?"

"That's right, and a cultivator with such strong strength will definitely not be from a small family, and nine times out of ten he will be a master of a big family. Bai Xiu said in a deep voice.

Ye Xuan's heart also sank, it seemed that things were really getting more and more complicated as Bai Xiu said.

"Then what is his motive? Such a well-established cultivator can't get along with a few ordinary people?" he asked.

Bai Xiu sighed lightly and said, "This is also what I can't figure out. Unless ......"

Seeing that he wanted to stop talking, Ye Xuan couldn't help asking, "Unless what?"

"Unless they accidentally discovered a certain family's secret, so they were killed by the cultivators. ”

Ye Xuan was stunned.

The more he thought about it, the more likely it was that this motive was likely. Even the fact that the three of them rarely interact with people seems to support this inference.

"They probably stayed at home to avoid this cultivator. Ye Xuan touched his chin and said.

Bai Xiu smiled and said, "I don't know...... But don't worry about it, since the matter involves the cultivator family, the special event team will definitely send someone to communicate. I'll let my eldest brother know when I go back and ask him to help you type out the assessment report. ”

Ye Xuan shrugged his shoulders and said with some interest: "I think this matter will be over...... Even if they know who the murderer is, will the authorities still turn against that family for the sake of three ordinary people?"

Bai Xiu felt the same way, and said, "I think it's about the same." The outside authorities and the cultivators have always said that well water does not interfere with river water, and there is even a lot of cooperation, so it is indeed unlikely that this matter will be investigated. ”

Ye Xuan suddenly coughed lightly, lowered his voice and said, "You are not curious about this case, if I were a cultivator and met such a great master, I would definitely try my best to find him out." ”

Bai Xiu smiled helplessly: "Brother, I know that you are very interested in solving cases, but the cultivation world has its own rules, and it is a very taboo behavior in the circle to inquire about the affairs of other families. ”

Ye Xuan smiled, patted him on the shoulder, and said, "I'll just talk about it...... Now that the Special Events Team has taken over, I'm happy to be free, so that's the end of the case. ”

He changed his words, glanced at his watch, and simply said: "It's almost time to get off work, when I go back to the team to explain, let's go to the station to pick up Weiwei." ”

Bai Xiu nodded and went downstairs with him.

As a result, as soon as they got into the car, Ye Xuan's mobile phone rang.

Ye Xuan couldn't help but smile when he saw the number, directly connected the mobile phone and handed it to Bai Xiu, and said: "Your second brother is simply ghostly, today I finally let you out alone, and before the half day was over, this 'check gang' call came." ”

Bai Xiu ignored his jokes, but whispered to the other side of the phone: "Second brother, what's the matter......?" It's nothing, it's a special event, I'll talk to you about it in the evening...... I don't know, maybe I'll have dinner with Ye Xuan and the others...... Now, you're already there with Ye Xuan, okay...... See you later. ”

Ye Xuan pricked up his ears to listen to Bai Xiu while driving, and when he heard his tone change, he couldn't help asking, "What's wrong?"

Bai Xiu frowned, returned the phone to him, and said apologetically: "The second brother asked me to go home immediately, saying that there was an emergency at home, and I don't know what happened." He's waiting for me at your team now, and it doesn't look like he can go with you to pick up Wei Wei today. ”

Ye Xuan put away the phone, turned his head and quietly glanced at him, seeing that he was sad and had the heart to explain him, he smiled and said, "That's a good feeling, I still think your light bulb is too bright." ”

Bai Xiu couldn't help but smile, and then turned his head to ponder.

Ye Xuan saw that he was quite concerned, and couldn't help asking: "Seeing that your mood is not high today, have you encountered any troubles?" I am not qualified to be a confidant brother, but I also have a bunch of messy ideas, maybe I can help you analyze and analyze." ”

Bai Xiu shook his head lightly and said, "Actually, it's nothing, it's just a little contradictory to the family." ”

Ye Xuan suddenly became curious.

Bai Xiu's character, as a friend for more than ten years, Ye Xuan is very familiar with it. It may be an exaggeration to say that he has never blushed with anyone, but he is definitely very good at talking.

It must not be a trivial matter for him to feel that it is a contradiction.
