Chapter 957: Peeling Back the Threads

"Minister Xu, the identities of the corpses just now have been confirmed, all of them are church staff, and the cause of death should be some kind of lethal spell, like the evil way curse death technique."

Xu Liquan nodded and didn't make a sound, but looked sideways at Fang Shi beside him, Fang Shi snorted, and he didn't know whether he agreed with this person's statement, or said that he heard it.

The group continued on, and in the foyer of the apse, they finally saw a scene after a fierce battle, where most of the equipment was broken, the glass was shattered, there were bullet holes in the walls, knife marks could be seen on the furniture, and two foreign men in black coats and two men in priests' robes had fallen on the ground.

The large blood stains on the floor had dried, and the air was filled with the choking smell of blood, the blood stains looked black, and the corpse fit perfectly with the blood stains, and it should not have been moved.

Ilya's face was pale and trembling, and she finally couldn't help but run to the side and vomit, but Fang Shi ignored her, but looked at the corpse on the ground in a daze with an expressionless face.

Xu Liquan secretly looked at Fang Shi, and then looked at Lou Jingzhong, Lou Jingzhong shook his head slowly, everyone waited quietly, so Ilya's retching sound was particularly loud.

The voice of the security bureau officer sounded a little inappropriately: "The identities of these people have also been confirmed, they are all clergy in the church and people who accompanied Mr. Ryan to visit Xiangjiang. ”

Fang Shi nodded: "Go to Elder Rian's dormitory and have a look." ”

Elder Ryan's dormitory was at the end of the second floor, and there were several corpses in the dark corridor, and the floor and walls of the corridor were covered in black blood, and it seemed that the battle was fierce. The wounds on the corpse that fell to the ground were also terrifying.

But the inside of Elder Ryan's dormitory was clean. Except that the door was broken. The contents were all complete, except for a chair that had fallen to the floor, and a corpse lying on the edge of the chair, and the lamp on the desk was still on.

Elder Rian's face was not the pale of the corpse, but jet black, and at a glance he knew that he had been poisoned, his expression was calm, and his body posture was also stretched. It shows that this poison does not make people feel painful, and in his hand, there are several fragments of broken silver magic weapons, the cracks are gray and black, as if they have been corroded, and in his other hand, he clutches a pocket version of the Bible.

Ilya looked at Elder Li An with a pale face, and tears welled up in her eyes, but she didn't let the tears fall.

"This is Elder Ryan, according to the preliminary identification. He died of toxins, neurobiotoxins. It should be a highly poisonous spread by Gu worms, and there are traces of corrosion on the broken magic weapon, indicating that there was a fighting spell, and the magic weapon was damaged because it could not withstand the impact of the spell, but the strange thing is that there are no other traces of battle here, and there is only the breath of the magic force system in the residual fluctuations. ”

Xu Liquan raised his hand, signaling his subordinates not to say any more, and everyone looked at Fang Shi, who slowly moved around the room, looking around, but did not touch anything.

After a while, Fang Shi turned his head to look at everyone, and found that everyone was watching him, Fang Shi grinned: "Let's go, let's start from the place where we entered the door and try to reorganize the situation." ”

Xu Liquan nodded excitedly, Ilya quietly wiped the corners of his eyes, gritted his teeth and followed.

Returning to the door of the chapel, Fang Shi pointed to the door and said: "The door was opened from the inside, and there was no violent breakdown, perhaps, the people who came from the church knew each other, but as soon as the door was opened, this unlucky guy fell for the spell, which is a typical evil trick and curse to death." ”

Xu Liquan just listened, while Lou Jingzhong squatted down curiously to carefully examine the corpse at the door.

Fang Shi continued to walk forward: "Then the raiders entered, a total of thirteen people, leaving a Xuanmen warlock to guard the door, and the others quickly moved inward, and the first one was the warlock who cursed and killed this person. ”

Along the main passageway, the two corpses that had fallen in front of the podium had apparently died of the same spell.

Fang Shi pointed to the statue of the chapel and the surrounding arrangement: "The sneak attackers know very well that they can't let the people of the church activate the defense system in the church, so they have left one person at the entrance on both sides of this chapel, and these two people are not warlocks, but willing monks. ”

Ilya glanced at Fang Shi curiously, the previous speculation had some basis, but this speculation was difficult to convince.

Fang Shi seemed to hear Elijah's heart, and pointed to the doorway leading to the apse and the confession room respectively, and said, "There is a residual aura of will power in these two locations, which means that there are people here who are guarding against the magic of the wish power. ”

Ilya nodded suddenly, and the staff member of the Security Bureau looked incredulous, but Xu Liquan was silent, and he didn't bother himself.

A group of people continued to move forward, and when they arrived at the foyer in front of the secret room in the apse, Fang Shi pointed to the messed up: "The knife marks here are actually claw blades, there are very few people in Huaxia who use this kind of claw blades, but there are many in the Wa Kingdom, if you look closely, you can find that these traces are left by four people, judging from the traces, these people belong to the first-class lower-level martial artists." These four warriors entangled the two cathar knights, and finally combined to kill the two knights, and one of these two priests died from the magic blow of the Wish Power system, it was this priest who was bleeding from the mouth and nose, and the other priest died from the Xuanmen spell, it should be the Nine Yin Soul Snatching Technique, you can check the back of his neck, if there is a black spot on the back of the neck, it is right. ”

Lou Jingzhong gently shook the priest's corpse when he heard this, and on the back of his neck, sure enough, there was a black spot the size of a copper coin.

Lou Jingzhong said: "The Nine Yin Soul Snatching Technique is actually a technique that uses magic to cut off the transmission of autonomic nerves in the human body, so the autopsy can also find that multiple organs are failing, this black spot should be caused by a spell blow, right?" ”

Fang Shi nodded: "Yes, the technique may be different, but the principle is the same." This person's defensive spell could not block the yin and evil qi of the spell, and the yin and evil qi froze the transmission of the cervical autonomic nerve and caused death, so the magic weapon in his hand was still intact, and the magic weapon of the other priest was damaged by the attack of the powerful wish power spell. ”

"There are three out there, six here, nine people already. The remaining four people went to attack and kill Elder Ryan, is there a little less? ”

Xu Liquan interjected and asked.

Fang Shi shook his head: "It's not four." It's three. There were seven men here, and one had been standing behind with a gun to assist in the attack, this man was a very clever gunman, and the two priests' defenses were probably breached after being interfered with by the gunmen. ”

"Three left?"

Fang Shi nodded, Xu Liquan frowned and said, "There are only three people who went to kill Elder Lian, and there are six assistants around Elder Lian, plus himself, isn't this a bit too much?"

"Just because you have more people doesn't mean you can win. In fact, they succeeded, let's go, by the way, they didn't enter this secret room, although they knew that there were good things in the heavily guarded place, but they didn't go in, you know why? ”

Lou Jingzhong said: "I'm afraid that if I take something, I will be followed." ”

Fang Shi smiled and said nothing, turning around and walking towards the stairs.

There were a lot of blood marks in the corridor, but there were no traces of weapons left on the wall, Lou Jingzhong said, "Did they use daggers?" ”

Fang Shi shook his head: "Look at the blood stains on the wall." He used a knife, and it was a thin-bladed thick-backed. A short knife less than two feet long, with no point. ”

"That's not a chai knife, a chai knife, and a Dali broken knife door?"

Lou Jingzhong suddenly exclaimed, Fang Shi smiled noncommittally: "Don't draw conclusions lightly, it's not just the Broken Knife Door that uses this kind of knife, there is a local sect in Xiangjiang that likes to use this kind of knife." ”

Lou Jingzhong thought for a moment and then came to his senses: "Nanhai Jiuli Knife! ”

Fang Shi still smiled noncommittally: "This person who uses a knife is a master, a super-first-class martial artist, has reached the threshold of entering the Tao with martial arts, this person has a domineering knife technique, and takes a domineering path, but with a knife fierce but not explosive, crazy but not chaotic, such a person is easy to find, I don't understand, why does he expose his identity." ”

"What about the other two?"

Fang Shi did not answer Lou Jingzhong's question, but continued to walk along the corridor to the end of the corridor, everyone looked at the blood stains on the wall, imagining the tragic killing in the early morning, this person was a short knife, killing one person in ten steps, and one step at a time, like a bloodthirsty madman, thinking about it made people feel a little palpitating.

Standing at the door of Elder Rian's room, Fang Shi's eyes were a little sloppy and said: "So far, all the guards are dead, that person kicked open the door, and then retreated, letting the other two enter, one of them has not made a move, but the defensive means on his body have revealed his identity, he is a monk of the Willing Power Department, and it is another Xuanmen Warlock who made the shot, this person is proficient in the Spirit Attack Spell and Gu Poison, first assault with the Spirit Technique, lure Elder Ian to fight with the Wish Force Technique, and then take advantage of his unpreparedness to cast a poisonous Gu, Approaching Elder Ryan from the ground, and looking at Elder Ryan, he was standing barefoot on the ground, and that was why he died.

Everyone looked towards Elder Rian's feet together, but they couldn't see anything, and Lou Jingzhong squatted down and looked carefully for a while before finding a red dot on the back of his little toe.

"That's right, this is it, it's a pity that the Gu worm is gone."

Fang Shi said: "It must have been recovered, because the Gu worm will reveal his identity." ”

"What about the swordsman?"

Fang Shi thought for a while and said: "It should be extinguished, that swordsman deliberately left traces, just to let his swan song remain in the world, perhaps it was because he knew that he would die, so he comprehended his sword path at the last moment." ”

"If he has already entered the Tao with martial arts, and suddenly attacks at this time, he may not be able to earn a way to live, right?"

Fang Shi glanced at Lou Jingzhong, and said with hatred: "Isn't he being held hostage by someone who wants to be a key person or a relative?" ”

Everyone was stunned, Xu Liquan exhaled and said: "The situation is probably clear, but the identities of these people still can't be confirmed, judging from Master Fang's analysis just now, it doesn't seem to be the same organization, is it a hired murderer?" ”

Fang Shi smiled silently, and Ilya said urgently: "Elder Fang, the Xuanmen technique is magical, can't you use the method of calculation?" ”

Fang Shi shook his head: "Since there are Xuanmen Warlocks here, they naturally know how to avoid being tracked, and they are well planned, even if we extrapolate based on their remaining traces, we will probably be led astray by them." ”

Ilya bit her lip and asked unwillingly, "Is there no way?" ”

Fang Shi shook his head again: "No, in fact, that swordsman has already told us the identity of the murderer!" ”

"What?!"

"Really?!"

Lou Jingzhong screamed and rushed towards the corridor, he wanted to check the scene more carefully, and Ilya looked at Fang Shi in disbelief.

Fang Shi pointed to the corpse on the ground: "Pay attention to the position of their knife, you will find that the position of each person is different, and the starting point of the knife must be an acupuncture point." ”

"Acupuncture points?!"

Xu Liquan was also a little confused, what can the acupuncture points mean? (To be continued......)
