Even with so many things happening, Yuezhou City is still as lively as ever.

As a big city in the south, commerce and transportation will always be the theme of Yuezhou City.

No matter how dangerous it is, it can't resist the enthusiasm of the merchants.

However, Xu Yuke is not so enthusiastic.

Since the last Lingmen faction case occurred, another month has passed in the blink of an eye.

In this month, Xu Yu investigated all the places in Yuezhou City where there might be murderers.

As a result, there are still only a handful of clues harvested.

Looking at the stacked files on the table, but there were no valuable clues in them at all, Xu Yu was smoldering.

Disheveled!

Xu Yu suddenly waved his hand and swept the file in front of him to the ground.

"The commander is calm and impatient, the case is not an ordinary small case, and it is reasonable that it is difficult to investigate. ”

Yan Nanming happened to come in from the outside, and when he saw the file that had fallen to the ground, he understood a little in his heart.

"Master, I really don't understand why this group of people are so rampant on the boundary of Yuezhou. Xu Yu was still angry.

That is, when he saw Yan Nanming, his face looked a little better.

In the past month, Yan Nanming has not been idle.

The swordsman, who has always been cynical and uninhibited, has also become a down-to-earth person.

This is also his nature, small things are confused, big things are serious, which is more important, Yan Nanming has always been very clear.

It is precisely because of such a temperament and a unique understanding of swordsmanship that Yan Nanming's status in Xu Yu's heart has been high during this time.

"I have searched every restaurant station in Yuezhou City, and every Jin Immortal and their circle have been checked, but I can't find the slightest clue. Could it be that this group of people is really hiding underground?" Xu Yu slammed his fist on the table.

Yan Nanming was not in a hurry, picked up the scattered files on the ground one by one, and rearranged them on the table.

Then he straightened his robe and sat down on a chair beside him.

This shows that those people and places are innocent, and that group of murderers has another place. Yan Nanming said.

"But where will that be?" Xu Yu asked, "Just yesterday, the envoys from the Asgard Palace came, and they told my father to investigate the matter thoroughly. ”

"Such a long time has passed, but we still have no clue, we are really ashamed of the love of the Immortal Palace and the expectations of the people of Yuezhou City. ”

"Perhaps...... We have entered a misunderstanding?" Yan Nanming touched his chin with his hand and said to himself.

"It is said that the most dangerous place is the safest place, is it not that the lights are dark so we can't see or find it? If it weren't for the lamp of the Xicheng Army, then ......"

Speaking of which, Yan Nanming didn't continue.

Xu Yu is also a smart person, and he heard Yan Nanming's extraneous voice.

Dark under the lights?

But on the side of the Xicheng Army, almost all of them were dug into the ground, and they couldn't find any clues.

If it's not in the Xicheng barracks, then ...... There's only one possibility.

The Xu family's mansion!

"Commander, I've always had a suspicion, but there's no basis for it. With the ability of the Xicheng army, it is only able to control the right to speak in the Xicheng. ”

"But assuming that this group of murderers stays in the Xu family's mansion in the city, then it makes sense that we can't find anyone during this time. ”

"The master is right. Xu Yu's voice lowered.

Yan Nanming gave him a direction that he had never thought of before, and he didn't even dare to think of.

"If there are ghosts in Yuezhou City that have become a shelter for this group of murderers, then it is normal that we can't find them. ”

Xu Yu was really smart, and he quickly discovered a new idea.

It's just that if he knows that his eldest brother and father have a connection with these killers in the demon world.

And these bloody cases happened at their behest, how should he feel?

For such a chivalrous man, there is no doubt that he is falling into a cliff, right?

But why does Yan Nanming have any assumptions?

It's very simple, when the Barbarian Witch Continent was fighting against the Desolate Ancient Continent, how many traitors were planted?

How many famous sects are willing to be their wall grass?

Don't talk about it far away, let's take Chu Ke's own original sect.

was turned into a big stronghold of the Barbarian Witch Continent on the Ancient Continent by the Blood Queen.

Although the conscience of Blood Ji later found out and gave the stronghold to Chu Ke, this is also a later story.

Moreover, the people in the demon world are not blood concubines, and Yuezhou City is not Chu Ke.

"Okay, since we assume that this inner ghost exists, I wonder what the Commander's plan is to find out this guy?" Yan Nanming asked.

"If this inner ghost is in the middle of the high-rise in Yuezhou City, it will be easy to do. Xu Yu frowned.

"I know that Asgard has sent someone over to investigate this matter secretly. They also need the help of our Xu family, and we can also use the power of the Immortal Palace agents to picket this person out. ”

"Then what if this person is from the Xu family?"

Yan Nanming asked this coldly, and he immediately saw the corner of Xu Yu's eyes, and twitched obviously.

"What if...... In that case, I hope to find that person out on my own. Xu Yu took a deep breath and said.

"If the inner ghost is the Xu family, then being discovered by the Immortal Palace and being reported by the family will have two completely different results. The former will make Asgard and Yuezhou disappointed in my Xu family, which is extremely unfavorable. But if it's the latter, then it's a different story entirely. ”

Yes, it sounds a little brighter to kill relatives in righteousness than to be caught with your hands tied.

The two were discussing how to investigate the situation in the upper echelons of Yuezhou City next.

At that moment, a soldier suddenly came to report.

said that there was a sword-carrying man with a fairy wind bone from outside the camp who wanted to see Xu Yu.

Xu Yu and Yan Nanming glanced at each other, and then asked the soldiers to invite the future.

The person who came was really immortal, and the instrument was magnificent.

After this person saw Xu Yu, he bowed slightly.

"In Xia Xiangong Wu Wen, I have seen the second son. ”

Not to mention that Wu Wen was rude, as one of the envoys sent by the Immortal Palace, his status was only half a level lower than Xu Zhuo.

So when you see Xu Yu, you only need to be a little polite.

"I've seen the Envoy. ”

Xu Yu and Yan Nanming immediately got up and returned the salute.

Although the envoys sent by the Asgard Palace are also high and low, even if Wu Wen is not the head of the envoy, his identity is by no means comparable between the two.

After finishing the salute, Yan Nanming looked at Wu Wen's outfit and secretly smacked his tongue in his heart.

This is the person with status, the guys from Asgard, all of them have such an identity?

Wu Wen, the envoy of the Immortal Palace, came, and Xu Yu immediately invited him to sit down.

The cronies on the left and right also served good tea at the right time, and then left separately.

In the huge room, there are only Xu Yu, Yan Nanming, and Wu Wen, the envoy of the Immortal Palace, left.

"I came here today, and it was a murder. I wonder if Xu Ergongzi's investigation over the past few days has some eyebrows?"

Putting down the teacup, Wu Wen cut straight to the topic.

"To tell you the truth, in the next period of time, the investigation has yielded little results. To this day, no trace of these murderers has been found. Xu Yu said with a look of shame.

"This group of villains is not ordinary, and the Ziyang Immortal King has a good evaluation of them. Commander Xu's ability to fulfill his duties is already rare and valuable, and it is rare to be worthy of his duties. ”

I thought that this immortal envoy would look displeased, and then immediately criticized him.

Unexpectedly, Wu Wen didn't mean to blame at all, but expressed his understanding.

However, the more Wu Wen said this, the more sorry Xu Yu felt for his character.

"Xu is incompetent, he has the trust of the Immortal Palace, and he is ashamed. ”

Wu Wen waved his hand, signaling that he didn't have to take it to heart.

"Wu came this time to help the second son investigate the case thoroughly. Wu Wen said, "Although the Immortal Palace is far away from the south, it still has some grasp of what happened in Yuezhou City recently. ”

As he spoke, Wu Wen stood up and took out a map of Yuezhou City from his arms and placed it on the table.

There were a few red dots circled on the map, and Xu Yu and Yan Nanming knew at a glance that they were the places where several sects that had had bloody cases were located.

"Look, these marked places are all committed by people from the Demon Realm. After enclosing these places, I wonder if you two can see something?"

The two of them followed the signs on the map and found that these red dots were mainly distributed around the center of the city, and the location of the Xu family's mansion was in the shape of stars and moons.

"This seems to be the people of the Demon Realm deliberately taking the Xu family as the center and committing crimes around. Yan Nanming looked at the map for a while and said thoughtfully.

"Of these incidents, the farthest one is miles away from Xu's house. The nearest one is just two streets away. ”

Two streets, no more than a hundred steps away.

"The gangsters in the demon world are all picked at night, and I have considered the possibility of them running around to commit crimes. For example, lurk near the target of the crime in advance and wait for the opportunity before acting. Wu Wen said.

"But not only the sect called Lingmen this time, has not found any suspicious signs near the crime scene several times before. And I heard that Xu Ergongzi has already investigated the entire Yuezhou City, right?"

"Hmmm......"

Xu Yu didn't look up at Wu Wen, just lowered his head and snorted.

Yan Nanming glanced at Wu Wen quickly, and then shifted his gaze to the map.

"There is a saying that the lights are dark, I don't know if the two of you have heard of it. ”

Xu Yu's eyes suddenly widened, and Yan Nanming also frowned slightly.

"Looks like the two of you know. Wu Wen looked at Xu Yu's appearance and laughed silently.

"Then we will get another explanation, in fact, the murderer will not lurk near the target in advance, they should have a fixed stronghold, but this stronghold is more difficult to find. ”

Wu Wen said no more when he said this, but the air in the room suddenly became extremely depressing.

What does Wu Wen mean?

Yan Nanming secretly said in his heart, this immortal palace envoy wouldn't have come here specifically to find fault, right?

He doesn't think that the Xu family has something to do with this matter, right?

But having said that the Xu family has something to do with the killers of the Demon Realm, I haven't thought about this.

But during this period of time, Xu Yu's performance has been normal.

Wait! If these killers were used by the Xu family to cut off dissidents......

Thinking of this, Yan Nanming suddenly walked to a cabinet on the side and took down a thick book from it.

Yan Nanming, who took off the books, casually found a place to put things nearby.

He put the book on it and began to flip through it quickly.

"What are you doing, Your Excellency?"

Wu Wen looked at Yan Nanming's actions curiously, he just suddenly picked up a book like this and started to read it frantically, what's going on?

Yan Nanming ignored Wu Wen and continued to flip through the book in his hand.

After flipping through the time when there were two sticks of incense, Yan Nanming stopped.

"That's exactly what happened. Yan Nanming nodded to himself, and his eyebrows were full of surprise.

Just as Wu Wen and Xu Yu looked at Yan Nanming suspiciously.

Yan Nanming had already closed the book and walked back.

"Envoy Wu, you just get straight to the point, the countrymen are timid, don't scare us. Yan Nanming said with a smile.

Wu Wen looked at Yan Nanming unexpectedly, and then suddenly smiled softly.

"I didn't expect to see such an interesting person as you in this Yuezhou City. Wu Wen smiled, but it was a smile full of kindness.

"Okay, I'm not going to whet your appetite anymore. The real intention of my visit this time is to tell you about Commander Xu. ”

Wu Wen tidied up his clothes, sat on a chair, and gradually straightened his color.

"Young Master Xu Yu, I know that you are the second son of the Xu family, so you listen to me calmly for some of my next words. ”

Xu Yu's face was very ugly, he was not a stupid person.

From the conversation just now, he had already sensed some clues.

"According to the instructions of the intelligence in our hands, these things that happened in Yuezhou City have nothing to do with the Xu family. Wu Wen said.

"A lot of signs point to that, and that's what we've extrapolated, and it's the most likely outcome. ”

When Xu Yu heard this, his heart was already half cold.

He had thought about this in this month, because he was in charge of the Xicheng Army, and there were very few things that he couldn't do in Yuezhou City.

But even so, I still can't find a single clue about the murderers, what does this mean?

Either these murderers are all Demon Emperor cultivators, otherwise how can they not find a trace?

But this is obviously impossible, so there is one of the most likely reasons.

These guys have been sheltered by the Xu family, and with the help of Xu Zhuo or Xu Feng, Xu Yu can not find the slightest evidence.

Although, Xu Yu didn't want to believe it.

But these words have already come out of Wu Wen's mouth, the spies from the Asgard Palace, do they still need to doubt their strength?

"Envoy Wu, I ......"

Xu Yugang wanted to say something, but Wu Wenyi raised his hand and interrupted what he was about to say next.

"I know it's hard to accept, it's human. Wu Wen said, "But Second Prince Xu, you must also know that the people of the Immortal Palace will not lie to you for anything." ”
