Xia Zhiyuan is dead!

This news was like a bolt from the blue, and Xu Ning's whole body stiffened in shock! A large basin of cold water poured down from his head, and the whole person was stunned, looking at Song Yun expressionlessly.

In Qingfeng City, although there is a large population, there are not many celebrities who can be counted.

The patriarchs of the five major families are naturally indispensable, Song Yun of the Song family, Duanmu Shangpu of the Duanmu family, Lin Invincible of the Lin family, Zhao Wu of the Zhao family, plus the Shangguan family and the Ouyang family who have been defeated, when people talk about these characters, they are all the default overlords in their hearts!

And Xia Zhiyuan, as the imperial patrol of Qingfeng City, is even more well-known to everyone, and the various cases handled by him over the years have benefited almost everyone in Qingfeng City! Both adults and children know that this white-bearded old man with a stern face has always been upright and honest!

How could he die? Xu Ning's mind was tumbling back and forth like a pot of porridge!

There is no sign of death at all in my physical condition, and the martial arts ability of my King Realm, even if I don't live to be a hundred years old, I can live to be eighty years old!

Xu Ning was shocked, and two words came to his mind: murder!

This is very natural, if you want Xia Zhiyuan to die naturally, you have to wait for at least thirty years, if it is not a natural death, then the rest of the possibility is to be murdered. Moreover, when Xu Ning guessed this answer, he unconsciously thought of himself.

Song Yun's "wrong choice" should refer to herself!

But what is right and wrong? What does it have to do with yourself? There is a sin under heaven called the sin of desire!

"Patriarch Song. It's better for you to be clear. Xu Ning said coldly, "I think the three of them have the posture of asking for guilt!" ”

In addition to Xu Ning, it was Ouyang Zhantian, for Ouyang Zhantian, Xu Ning was not surprised, his identity seemed to have been announced to these people at this moment, and it could be seen from the looks on their faces that their expressions were equally shocked.

The remaining three people are Duanmu Shangpu, Song Yun and Zhao Wu, although these three people are the patriarchs of the family. But in the face of Xu Ning's questioning. But they didn't say a word.

Xu Ning's anger is not in one place!

Although Xia Zhiyuan is a patrolman, he has also worked Qingfeng City, and these people have to deal with Xia Zhiyuan every day, and now they are dead. Don't track down the murderer. Instead, God mysteriously found himself here. What the hell is going on?!

Just about to get angry, Ouyang Zhantian spoke.

"Xu Ning, don't get excited. Like you, they just learned the news of Xia Zhiyuan's death, and what Patriarch Song said just now was also what I told them. ”

Ouyang ...... Predecessor! Xu Ning hesitated, but still shouted.

Ouyang Zhantian stood up, his expression was very strict, he walked to Xu Ning's side, and said in a low voice: "You should also see that this is an extraordinary time, and there is no need to hide my identity, but Ruyu didn't know that she said my granddaughter, this secret, you still need to continue to keep it!" ”

Xu Ning nodded slightly, and the doubts in his heart were not relieved, but became stronger.

"Xu Ning, you think too much, I don't blame you, we were all discussing just now, how to get through this hurdle! As Ouyang senior said, people can't be resurrected after death, but people still have to find a way to continue! Song Yun's face softened slightly.

"I was a little impulsive just now." Xu Ning's face was also a little calmer, but it was not completely relaxed, especially the brows condensed into a pimple.

"However, the choice you said just now was wrong, could it be that Xia Lao was forced to patrol by someone? If I'm not mistaken......" Xu Ning's eyes gradually released a kind of oppressive force, a kind of hatred, and a kind of murderous intent!

"Dongzhou Imperial Family!"

"Looks like you've thought of it a long time ago." Ouyang Zhantian sighed.

"Hmph, when I came back this time, I didn't plan to spend it peacefully, but I didn't expect that it would affect everyone in Qingfeng City, as well as Xia Zhiyuan's seniors......" Xu Ning's fists were clenched tightly, and there was a crisp sound of "click, click, click" at the joints, and his fingertips were pale because of excessive force, as if all the blood was pouring onto his face!

"Xu Ning, you don't have to blame yourself, although the death of Xia Lao's patrol has something to do with you, but other strange things in Qingfeng City are still used for a reason."

It was Duanmu Shangpu who spoke, in Xu Ning's opinion, the Duanmu patriarch has always been a taciturn and very introverted person, the Duanmu family's power in Qingfeng City is not big or small, and there has never been a fight with other forces, but no one will mess with them lightly. In addition to the status of the Duanmu family, there is also a point that the people of the Duanmu family do things very decently, or they are a little sleek, and it is difficult for outsiders to find their faults.

Left and right, please everywhere, no one can be offended.

But right now, even Duanmu Shangpu has been provoked, and things are definitely not simple.

Xu Ning thought about it slightly, and also felt a little strange.

"Duanmu Patriarch, everyone, if that's the case, I don't want to know the details of the matter right now. Trouble you to tell me, how did Xia Zhiyuan's predecessor die? Who did this to you?! ”

Duanmu Shangpu and Song Yun turned their heads at the same time, looked at Zhao Wu who was speechless, and following their gaze, Xu Ning's eyes also swept on Zhao Wu's body, full of the oppressive force of the thunder and lightning attribute, which soon made Zhao Wu a little uncomfortable.

"Patriarch Zhao, are you clear about the matter?" Xu Ning walked over and asked coldly.

"This ...... Ahem, I happened to be nearby when Xia Xun was killed, so ......"

"Who! Dry! Target! Xu Ning gritted his teeth and asked word by word!

"If we knew who did it, we wouldn't be here today." Zhao Wu let out a long breath, letting the nervous feelings slowly relax.

"Is the death of Xia Zhiyuan's predecessor related to today's events?" Xu Ning looked around and asked.

"Of course." Zhao Wu stood up and said with a frown, "Since Xia Xun was killed, it has been half a month in a row. In Qingfeng City, except for your Xu family, the other four major families are killed almost every day! Moreover, these people are all messengers without exception! ”

"What?!" Xu Ning was stunned for a moment, "What do you mean, the same group of people did it?!" ”

"To provoke the people of the four major families at the same time, and the goal is the same, do you still need to guess?" Song Yun sighed and asked rhetorically.

Xu Ning sat down in his chair slowly, trying to calm his brain and go through all the clues.

Before he offended the Dongzhou royal family, the Xu family in Qingfeng City began to be plotted. Then Xia Zhiyuan was killed. His murderer was not one, but a huge force. This force obviously didn't get what Xia Zhiyuan wanted, and from the time calculation, it was when his letter was delivered to the Xu family. From this moment on. The actions of the Dongzhou royal family against the Xu family moved from the bright side to the underground. Then. The messengers of the four great families were killed......

Behind this conspiracy, the real purpose should not be the Xu family, or a Qingfeng City.

If that's the case. It can be achieved by a few slightly underhanded means, such as assassination. Although the power of several major families cannot be underestimated, compared to an empire, it is still far behind!

The reason why Xia Zhiyuan died, if he was implicated in his own relationship, he would definitely not want to harm himself!

According to his fierce character, he must have fallen out with the other party, worried that the secret would be leaked out, so he killed people!

No wonder, Song Yun said he made the wrong choice! If he chose to kill Xu Ning, he might not die!

One link after another, the more I think about it, the deeper I go, the whole incident seems to be a tight chain, and it seems to be a huge conspiracy net, which makes people unable to break free after falling into it!

"Dongzhou Imperial Family!"

Xu Ning slammed the table with his fist, raised his head, and said with red eyes!

The room was very quiet, and no one would deny it.

"Since this series of events, we have activated all the relationships, but the other party's actions are very secretive, and some of the people who are caught will commit suicide or be killed by others, so there is very little information. However, as you judged, it was indeed the people of the Dongzhou royal family who killed Xia Zhiyuan's predecessors. Song Yun sighed and said.

"Did you find evidence?"

"Well, though, the evidence has already ruined me!"

"Why?" Xu Ning asked in surprise. With the evidence, will it be possible to track down the real culprit soon? Why destroy the evidence!

"Xu Ning, you don't have to be so surprised, it's also my idea to destroy the evidence." Ouyang Zhantian walked over and said slowly.

"This ......"

"If you don't destroy this evidence, the entire Qingfeng City will be in chaos!"

"I don't understand!"

Zhao Wu walked over and said with a sigh: "Xia Xunzhuo has a total of five fatal wounds on his body, his heart was stabbed into the mouth, his dantian was hit hard by his fist, and at the same time, there were signs of poisoning on his body, three different hidden weapons were inserted into his ribs and lungs, and a fragment of armor was dropped on the ground, and his meridians were all strangled by a thin thread. ”

"What are you telling me all this for?" Xu Ning was a little impatient.

"Hmph, of course it does!" Zhao Wu sneered and said, "The knife wound on the chest, judging from the material and shape, is forged by the ore produced by your Xu family's Qilin Mountain Range!" And the heavy blow of the dantian, whether it is strength or exercise, is the ancestral Iron Soul Fist technique of our Zhao family! As for the hidden weapons, they are the Star Darts, Willow Leaf Flying Knives and Triangular Pyramids cast by the Song family's weapons workshop! The source of the poison on the body is the Lin family, and the thin thread that cuts the meridians is the Duanmu family's heavenly silk! Xu Ning, think about it, if this evidence is left, what will become of Qingfeng City! ”

Xu Ning was dumbfounded all of a sudden.

What the hell is going on?! Who's behind it?! How could this conspiracy be so huge!

"Xu Ning, no, Patriarch Xu, I know that your relationship with Xia Xunzhu is extraordinary, but this matter is too weird, we are worried that after you hear about it, you will act rashly, so we have made this decision to invite you here." Song Yun said.

"So, you already know I'm back?"

"From the moment you entered Qingfeng City, at least the four major families got the news at the same time." Zhao Wu stood up and said, "The current Qingfeng City looks no different from usual on the surface, but in fact, every family's hermitage has been dispatched!" ”

"So—" Xu Ning raised his head and asked, "Have you come up with any ideas?" (To be continued......)
