Chapter 409: Tracking
This is the territory of the Night Moon Kingdom, although it is not the territory of Bai Zhuojun and Yue Qingrou, but the two of them are also gloomy. 『』
actually let people smash the Lin family's shop in Yeyue, which really made the two of them angry.
Yun Qing didn't say much, and walked directly into the store.
There was not a single intact item in the store that was smashed.
Yun Qing quickly checked every room.
"What have you all discovered" Looking at the other people, Yun Qing's eyes were cold and piercing.
"Judging by the remaining bloodstains, there are heavy casualties. It's just that I don't know if it's the Lin family's guards or the enemies who come to attack. Yue Qingrou's face was full of anger: "Yunqing, you continue to investigate here, I'll go to this city lord and ask him to see what he knows." ”
"Well, there you go. Let's ask around. Yun Qingdao.
"Wait a minute, I'll go too." Bai Zhuojun then followed.
The two of them quickly walked in the direction of the City Lord's Mansion.
Xinghui pulled Yunqing to a room upstairs: "What do you think of these traces?"
There were several marks on the wall that had been slashed by an unknown weapon, and it was these marks that Starlight was referring to.
"Judging by the residual breath, this should be left by the knife." Yun Qing once comprehended the sword path of the god of war, so he was very sensitive to sword qi.
"Hey, you can actually sense the sword qi" Starlight was surprised, he didn't notice it at all.
"I also think it was left by the knife." Xinghui said: "If it is a sword, the traces left will not be so deep. After all, the sword is not good at chopping, leaving such deep and long traces, thinking about it, there is only a knife. ”
"There are one hundred and forty-eight knife marks crisscrossing this surface, and each one is continuous. In this way, the man with the knife was attacking against the wall, and his opponent dodged all his attacks. Yaer analyzed.
Yun Qing looked at the knife marks on the wall and nodded: "Yes, it can be seen from this that this makes the knife man's strength more than a step worse than his opponent." ”
"The color of the blood stains left behind has changed, it should have happened for a long time, but you can still detect the residual knife intent of this knife mark, which means that this person's sword path cultivation is not low, and the cultivation should also be a grandmaster." Xinghui analyzed.
"It should be good, and if you analyze the depth of this knife mark, you can determine the direction of each knife mark. Judging from the direction of each slash, the man should have been a left-hander. Let's ask the people around us if they see anything. Yun Qing agreed with Xinghui's analysis, but there were no noteworthy clues for the rest.
Several people came to the surrounding shops to inquire, and the people in the shops still remembered what happened that day, and soon got some information.
After asking the people around them, they met again.
"How," Yun Qing asked.
"I think the man with the knife should be the enemy who is coming." Xinghui said: "The boss of the cloth village over there, I saw that among the people who went in that day, there was a knife hanging on his right waist. In this case, only left-handers are more convenient. ”
"I got about the same information. The man was bald, probably in his forties. Yun Qing said: "And the owner of the stall over there said that it was this bald head who took the lead in at that time." From this, it can be inferred that he is likely to be the leader among the people who came. It is also very likely that he is the most powerful. ”
Princess Ya'er said: "If this is the case, then there must be one of the people in the Lin family shop whose strength is higher than this bald head." In this case, even if something happens to everyone else in Lin Jiadian, this person may not be dead, and it is very likely that he is still alive. ”
"There should be no doubt that he is alive." Yun Qing looked at the smashed Lin family shop and said, "If he dies in the hands of those people." I'm afraid we're seeing a burned house, not this anymore. But I don't think he's going to be doing well, and maybe even getting hurt. ”
"That's right, only in this way will the incoming enemy abandon the practice of setting fire to the house and destroying the clues. Because they wanted to kill him, they all chased him out. Xinghui said.
Yun Qing showed a sneer on his face: "But judging from this situation, that person is afraid that he escaped from the tracking of that group of guys." If we can find him, we will have a detailed understanding of what happened. ”
At this moment, a group of city guards galloped in.
"May I ask if you are the Tianhua Protector and his party," the leading guard captain asked.
"I am." Yun Qing stepped forward and said, "What are you looking for me?"
"Lord Protector, our city lord is invited. Lord Duke and Lord Jisuke are waiting. The captain of the guard said.
Yun Qing nodded: "The two of them didn't come over, I'm afraid they found something." Let's take a look. ”
Follow this group of guards all the way to the City Lord's Mansion.
On the way, Yunqing couldn't help but ask this group of guards.
"It happened three days ago in the evening." The captain of the guard replied, "It was the time of our shift change, so there was no one patrolling this shopping street. ”
"But no one expected that in that short cup of tea, such a bloody case would happen." The captain of the guards had a very ugly face, after all, this kind of thing happened, and he was responsible as the captain of the guards.
"So, these people are familiar with your patrols." Yun Qing's face became even colder: "If you don't have spies inside, or they have been lurking in the city for many days. ”
"Your Excellency. The spy will never be us. The captain of the guard hurriedly defended: "Every brother under my command is a man of the fair and fair, and he will never do such a thing." ”
Looking at Yun Qing's suspicious eyes, the captain of the guards explained: "Actually, don't hide it from the Duke, when it happened, I also suspected that there were spies among us. But when I investigated, I found that the group had been in the city for five days. Previously, they lived at the Yuefu Inn in the north of the city. ”
"Since you've gone to the inn to investigate, have you found anything?"
"Lord Duke, there is indeed a discovery. According to the innkeeper, the group spoke with a cloudy accent. The captain of the guard replied, "Since all of the sixteen members of their group have Drifting Cloud accents, we guess that they are probably from the Drifting Cloud Kingdom. Otherwise, it would be too difficult to find so many people with cloudy accents from our neighborhood. ”
"Drifting Cloud Man" Yun Qing's eyes flashed away.
After a short meeting, everyone came to the city lord's mansion.
The lord of this city is a fat man who is as fat as a ball.
Yun Qing looked at his body shape and was genuinely worried about his legs.
The lord of the castle stood there, and the whole thing felt like a ball had been stiffened with limbs and a head.
It's just that to Yun Qing's surprise, although this city lord is fat as a ball, he is not slow.
The pair of small short legs moved, and soon greeted him: "The little one is Lord Duke." ”
"Alright, take me in." Yunqing Road.
"Yes." The city lord respectfully led the way in front: "Lord Duke." Xiao knew that the attack on the Lin family store was not trivial, so he asked my people to bring back the corpses inside for proper preservation as soon as the incident happened, so as not to be destroyed by anyone if they were left there. ”
"Hakaze and Jisuke-sama are now checking on the condition of those corpses."
"Thank you so much." Yun Qing was quite surprised by what this city lord did.
Follow him all the way to a basement, where the city lord stands in front of a room in the basement: "Lord Duke, this is the place where the corpse is kept. ”
Pushing open the door, a cold air immediately rushed out, and it turned out to be an ice storehouse.
Inside, there are piles of ice collected from the mountains, and the cold is biting.
"Lord of the City, please prepare a room for these two girls to rest." Yun Qing suddenly remembered that Lei Qi's body was weak, but he didn't dare to let her enter here, so he hurriedly said.
"No problem, two girls, please here. I'll arrange a room for you. Then the lord of the city led the two girls out of the basement.
As soon as I entered the ice warehouse, I saw more than 20 tables in the middle of the ice storage, and there was a corpse on each platform.
And the moon was soft and Bai Zhuojun looked at these corpses solemnly.
"Did you find anything?" asked Yun Qing.
"Of the twenty-eight corpses, twenty-three are the guys of the Lin family. The remaining five are from the incoming enemy. Yueqing said: "Judging from the scars left on the body of the Lin family shopkeeper, there are at least fifteen enemies who are attacking. ”
Bai Zhuojun lifted the white sermon covering the five corpses and said, "These five people are the ones who attacked the Lin family's shop. Judging by the marks left on the corpse, it was killed by the same person. I think there should be one person in Linjiadian, whose strength is not low. ”
Yun Qing frowned and examined it one by one: "There is no corpse of the shopkeeper." Is the man who escaped the treasurer?"
"Escape" Bai Zhuojun looked at Yun Qing: "How do you know that he must have escaped"
Yun Qing then explained the situation and analysis he had heard.
"I see, in this case, it is indeed very likely that he escaped. The group of people didn't even have time to clean up their own corpses, and it seems that the shopkeeper is not weak, otherwise those people would not have left someone to clean up the corpses of their own. Bai Zhuojun nodded, and then shouted: "Come on, immediately notify the nearby towns, and once someone buys a large amount of injury medicine, report it immediately." ”
When the soldiers who were waiting outside heard this, they immediately agreed and ran out.
"Whether it's the shopkeeper or the person who attacked the Lin family's shop, I don't think it will be unscathed. If you want to heal your wounds, you need to buy them in large quantities. Bai Zhuojun said: "I hope to wait for good news." ”
Yun Qing looked at the corpses and muttered, "I think it is necessary to let the surrounding towns pay attention to whether there are a group of eleven left-handed swordsmen who speak with a floating cloud accent." ”
"If the captain's investigation is correct, there are eleven of them left. But it's hard to know for sure if the captain of the guard is wrong, or if the guys are living separately in multiple inns. And after they did this kind of thing, they didn't go separately. Whether the accent is a camouflage or not, we can't tell. "So I think they should be on the lookout for left-handed bald swordsmen." In addition, tell them that this person may have accomplices with him. Don't report the exact number of people. ”
"Well, you're still thoughtful." Yunqing Road.
Then another soldier ran out to interrogate
