Ziru said with interest: "What a strange method?"

Zhan Fei also knew her identity, and said, "Tianji Sect specializes in controlling evil, so I can help take a look, and the two of you will come with me." ”

The two curiously followed him into the inn, but saw three corpses lying in a row on the floor of the main hall. Zhan Fei said: "The deceased are all guests here, and one of them has deducted all the money for the house, but no one comes out to check out, and the shopkeeper goes in to see that the person is dead." After that, they investigated one by one, and found that three tenants had died. ”

When Canghai approached, he saw that the deceased were two men and one woman, both young men, and said, "Well, I seem to have seen this person." ”

Zhan Fei said: "Several of the deceased have participated in the hunting conference, and the one you said has also been verified, called He Xiaoyu." I heard that the scout camp wanted him at the time, but he died in the inn, otherwise he would have worked with you now. ”

Canghai nodded, and saw that the three people had different skin colors, some of them had corpse spots, and some of them were not yet stiff, and said, "It seems that they didn't die at the same time." ”

Zhan Fei said: "Yes, according to the examination, the time of death of these three people is about one day apart, the earliest is three days ago, and the latest is tonight, it is estimated that it has not been more than an hour before now. ”

Ziru said thoughtfully: "Three days ago, it was the end of the hunting conference. ”

Zhan Fei said: "Not bad. ”

Canghai said: "What is the cause of death?"

Zhan Fei pulled He Xiaoyu's clothes away, but saw a black mark on his neck, as if he had been strangled to death. Then the whole corpse turned over, and a large black shadow of a human figure appeared on the skin of its back, and at first glance, it looked like a figure lying on his back.

Canghai said in horror: "What is this?"

Zhan Fei said: "It should be a person." ”

Canghai said: "People will not leave such black marks. ”

Zhan Fei said: "Normal people really can't, so this person's shape is a bit strange." We thought it was a coincidence of the murderer's posture when he killed someone, but it was clearly not. "The clothes of the other two corpses were also unwrapped and flipped upside down, and the back also showed the same black mark in the shape of a human. Then he looked at Ziru, as if asking for her opinion.

Ziru stared for a moment, shook his head slightly, and said, "I'm afraid it's not just strangulation." ”

Zhan Fei showed a hint of approval and said, "The King of Xicheng also said the same. ”

Ziru said: "Uncle Xiwang has also been here?"

Zhan Fei said: "Yes, he just thought that this death was unusual, so he ordered martial law." ”

Canghai was a little confused, and said: "Although the black marks on his body are indeed quite strange, they are not to be ordered under martial law." ”

Zhan Fei said: "This time, you can look away, it was not the black seal that made the King of Xicheng give martial law, but the real cause of his death." ”

Canghai narrowed his eyes and looked at the corpse, and said, "The real cause of death? If it wasn't suffocation, what was it?"

Zhan Fei said: "The cause of death of these people is very hidden, and even our guard battalion didn't see it at the beginning. If it weren't for the King of Xicheng personally going into battle, I'm afraid he would still be confused until now. Squatted down and pried He Xiaoyu's teeth open, and said, "Look." ”

I saw He Xiaoyu's tongue shrinking and rolling upside down, like a drooping aquatic weed after the tide receded, and the throat was blocked, revealing only a small hole. Looking through the narrow hole, the throat wall was covered with black blood. Canghai said: "Is this poisoned?"

Zhan Fei said: "No, it's not poison, but being taken away from anger." The black marks on their bodies are the traces left by the leakage of anger. ”

Canghai exclaimed: "Anger can also be taken away?"

Zhan Fei said: "Of course. Do you remember the case that happened in Yunxia Town? The demon of the Jinliang Kingdom called Black Earth used the blood slaughter technique to suck the essence of people's blood, and the dead were all left with a pair of skins. Although the ways of death of these people are different, they have the same end, but last time they sucked flesh and blood, and this time they sucked anger. He and Zhang Weiwei were like brothers, and when he thought of his death at the hands of the black soil, he still couldn't help but moisten his eyes.

The cruelty of the Blood Massacre Skill, Canghai was very clear, and said, "You said this is the Blood Massacre Skill?"

Zhan Fei said: "Even if it's not, it's something like this. ”

Canghai became nervous and said, "So, there are people from the Jin Liang Kingdom sneaking in the imperial city. ”

Zhan Fei said: "Very likely. So the king of Xicheng immediately issued martial law. Several other cities echoed each other, and now the whole city should have been put under martial law. The king of Xicheng said that the murderer's cultivation is not low, and now he doesn't know where he is hiding in the imperial city, especially those remote residences, everyone must be cautious, once the enemy is found, report it immediately, and try to avoid startling the snake. Additional patrols have to be sent to all parts of the streets. Alas, it seems that our guard battalion and patrol battalion have been busy during this time. ”

Canghai muttered, "A remote abode?" Thinking that his father was left alone in the house, he was concerned, so he immediately said goodbye to the two and hurried back to his residence.

Cang Baizhong drank the wine given by Ziru, fell asleep on the bed. Seeing this, Canghai felt a big stone in his heart before he landed.

The next day, when they returned to the scout camp, they were all talking about the mysterious death of He Xiaoyu and others, and the rumors among the people on the street were even more mysterious, after all, martial law in the whole city was not a joke. Obviously, the strange way of death of the deceased has cast a shadow over the imperial city.

Shen Jianhub assigned tasks to his subordinate scouts one by one, and the tasks assigned to different people were also light and heavy, for example, the tasks that Wu Qu got were similar to shopping. In the end, only the sea remained, but Shen Jianhub didn't divide it, turned around with his hands behind his back and left. Canghai chased after him and asked, "Scout Chief, what about my mission?"

Shen Jianhub was slightly stunned, thought sideways for a long time, and said: "You are a newcomer, and you still don't understand many rules, so you have to train and learn the professional skills of scouts, such as action code language gestures or something." So, you go to the logistics barracks and ask Lao Hou for a few scout manuals, read through them first, okay. ”

Canghai wondered: "I'm not the only one who is new, why don't they need training?"

Shen Jianhu shook his hand and said: "They are different, they already have experience in this area when they are in the locality. Like Wu Qu, the little prince of Xicheng has been familiar with various yamen since he was a child, and he doesn't need to be taught at all. ”

Canghai had no choice but to go to the logistics to ask for a book. The day was spent with books in the corridor behind the barracks. Those manuals are written about the origin and development of scouts, and there are also a number of classic examples interspersed to illustrate the importance of scouts in diplomatic warfare, but it doesn't matter if you don't look at them. But since Shen Jianhub had something to say first, Canghai had to brace himself and watch it carefully.

In the afternoon, I suddenly saw Shen Jianhub passing through the corridor with the snow, and Canghai said hello. Piaoxue did not intend to meet him again in this place, and was quite surprised, and saw that he was reading with pleasure in holding the manual, so she praised him for his diligence. Canghai smiled bitterly. The two sides exchanged a few words, and Piaoxue left with Shen Jianhub. I could vaguely hear them talking about interrogation or something, and Canghai didn't care.

When I went home after work, I saw a flying beast lying on my stomach in the courtyard and closed my eyes to recuperate, and when I entered the house, I saw that Ziru was talking to his father again, giggling, and couldn't help but laugh heartily. Thinking that this girl was really idle, he looked around, and there was no one else, and asked, "Who is that flying beast outside?"

Cangbai said: "Ziru saw that it was inconvenient for you to be on duty, so it was a mount for you." ”

Canghai was stunned for a moment, and said, "The mount for me?"
