"My lord, just now there was a report from Jiuling Mansion that a local sect had disappeared overnight. Xianyun came to Lu Sheng's office and reported.

Originally, this kind of case was thoroughly investigated by the local government, and after no result, it was either reported or filed. If Lu Sheng hadn't given an order, all unbelievable or strange things would have to be reported to him. Only then did the Jiuling Mansion report the case.

"Is there anything suspicious about the disappearance of a martial arts sect?"

"Yes, they disappeared overnight and seemed to be eating when they disappeared. There were no traces of a messy fight, as if they were eating and suddenly putting down the dishes and chopsticks and leaving.

However, this sect is usually quite weird and never communicates with others. So they were found only after they had disappeared for several days. ”

"Then how do you determine the time of disappearance?" Lu Sheng asked curiously.

"Judging by the degree of spoilage of the food on the table. It's a little warmer now, but it's still quite cold. At such temperatures, it takes three to four days for food to spoil.

It gives the food a strong sour taste, and they're at least five days away. ”

"Let's go. ”

There is nothing important under his hands, and there is no way to investigate the strange events at present. Lu Sheng took Xianyun to the scene of the crime in Jiuling Mansion.

The head of the Jiuling Mansion Branch hurriedly came up to greet him, "My lord, this sect is called the Lihua Sect, and it was established twenty years ago. But the people around him never regarded him as a martial arts sect, and their behavior was more like a martial arts family, and it was a hidden family. ”

"Why is it ......? So?" Xianyun was the first to step into the Lihua faction, but the mess in front of him made Xianyun frown.

"In the rules of the Xuantian Mansion, the collection of evidence must not destroy the scene. You don't know that?"

"Forgive me, I didn't make it like this, we already did it when we came. At first, I thought it was for the Lihua faction to collectively disappear and take away the seats at home or something.

But later I learned that the nearby martial arts sect that first found out that Lihua had sent people to the empty building swarmed and emptied the Lihua faction. ”

"Nearby martial arts sects? are they crazy? they don't even let go of a chair?"

"Poor is crazy, Lanzhou is still generally poor. Jiuling Mansion Banner said with a wry smile, "Fortunately, they still know how to measure and didn't empty the canteen." And the nearest sect is very close, if the Lihua sect changes, they must know. There was no bloodstain in the entire Lihua faction, and there were no sword wounds.

Therefore, there are two speculations of Xia Guan, one is that the Lihua faction left by itself, and the other is that the Lihua faction all lost their ability to resist and was taken captive. ”

"My lord, there's a clue. At this moment, a Brother Xuan Tianwei came running in the distance, sweating profusely.

"This is Lord Chief, and this is Lord Slim. Mr. Qi hurriedly introduced.

"Meet your lordship. ”

"Well, what clue?"

"We searched for a day and found out the whereabouts of the Lihua faction. ”

"Where are they?" Lu Sheng misheard at first, thinking that he had found a living person from the Lihua faction. Later, I learned that it was the body of the Lihua faction that was found.

The new soil in front of me was excavated, and the corpses of the Lihua faction were stacked on top of each other under the pit.

"We think that whether it's life or death, there's always a bit of a clue that just disappears. Later, traces of wheels were found outside the mountain road. It's a remote place, and it's not a business road, so there are no cars and horses on weekdays, so I was in the mood to try it out and look for the wheel tracks.

In the shade of the mountains, this tombstone was found, the tomb of the Lihua faction. Then he started excavating, and sure enough, the bodies of the Lihua faction were all there. ”

"Why did they die?" Lu Sheng asked.

"There are no injuries on the outside, and the specific cause of death needs to be examined by the coroner's team. ”

"Take the body back for examination. Ask the surrounding sects, try to collect news about the Lihua faction, and see who they have enmity with. Although it is a martial arts sect, it is also the people of Dayu, and it has been destroyed inexplicably, and we can't sit idly by. ”

"Yes!"

"Adult, small...... The little one thinks it's a little strange. Xuan Tianwei, who had just come to report the news, said with some doubts.

"What's strange?" Lu Sheng asked casually.

"My lord, look at the corpses of these Lihua factions, there are men and women, but they ...... There are no old or young!, these women are all dressed as women, and the Lihua sect is not like an ordinary sect and more like a ...... Martial arts family. If it is a martial arts world, it should be all ages. ”

was said like this, Lu Sheng suddenly felt strange. A family of eighty-one mouths, all young and middle-aged?

But these doubts can't be answered from the current situation, and Xuantian Mansion needs to have more information. Back in the Lihua faction, Xianyun is leading the brothers to collect evidence.

Although it is said that the Lihua faction was emptied by the surrounding poor and crazy martial arts sects, Xianyun is still unwilling, what if? Xianyun believes in this intuition very much, because when he was a snitch, he couldn't find a target and relied on this intuition.

And this intuition rarely makes Xianyun go home empty-handed, and every time he targets someone who ordinary people think that this person can't be rich, Xianyun can always find his ill-gotten wealth and ...... Moderate satiety cough cough cough cough ...... Rob the rich and help the poor.

"My lord—"

A cry of surprise came, and after following Lu Sheng for many years, he rarely let out this kind of surprise cry for discovering treasures. That search made Xianyun nostalgic for the past.

Lu Sheng followed the sound, and in the bedroom of the Lihua faction, he was dug three feet into the ground by Xianyun and then found a secret room. Xianyun was still very proud, and he was very impressed by Lu Sheng's smile.

"Although I have been Xuan Tianwei for so many years, it seems that the business is not unfamiliar. Lu Sheng teased with a slight warning.

"As long as it's property, no matter how hidden it is, don't try to escape my nose. ”

"People who are so good at finding money are so bad at hiding private money. I heard that some time ago, your private money was copied by Baili Juan'er?"

As soon as these words came out, Xianyun's sorrow dissipated instantly. Hiding money and looking for money are two different things.

Going down the secret room, there were more than a dozen coffins in the secret room. Nothing but coffins.

"No, my instinct tells me that there should be money here...... How did it become a coffin? Is it really rusty after so many years of not doing it?"

"Do you want to go back and practice again?"

"Okay, okay......" Xianyun nodded consciously, but instantly realized that something was wrong and quickly shook his head.

"You...... Whose coffin was placed in their own secret room? Obviously there is a problem. Lu Sheng stepped forward, and these coffins were nailed. Lu Sheng lightly slapped his palm on the coffin lid, and a circle of nails instantly rose into the air.

"If there's any undead in there, don't be surprised. Lu Sheng said in his mouth and lifted the coffin lid with one palm.

Wow –

The scene in front of him pierced the eyes of the surrounding Xuan Tianwei with some pain, and the coffin was full of jewels. It turned out to be a coffin of neat gold and silver jewelry.

As soon as Lu Sheng waved his hand, the other Xuantianwei rushed up. More than a dozen coffins were opened one by one, revealing the contents full of belongings.

These dozen coffins are like the professional plating of a top chef. The jewelry on it looks messy, but it is colorful and neat. Underneath the jewelry, stacks of gold bricks are stacked. The purity of gold in this era is not as high as what Lu Sheng saw in his previous life, so it doesn't look so beautiful.

But...... Where did a martial arts family get so much gold, silver and jewelry?

"Could it be...... The murderer took a fancy to the Lihua faction, which is why there are so many gold, silver and jewelry...... No, it doesn't make sense! If the murderer's purpose was gold, silver and jewelry, he would have dug three feet into the ground.

But there is no trace of looting in the entire Lihua faction...... Obviously not! The Lihua Sect is an ordinary sect, where did it get so much gold and silver?And what is the purpose of the murderer's murder?" Xianyun muttered to himself again.

Moving the gold, silver and jewelry back to the Xuantian Mansion of Jiuling Mansion, Lu Sheng was also listening to the information collected by his subordinates.

"Lihua was founded 20 years ago. It claims to be a martial arts sect to the outside world, but the surrounding sects have never regarded it as a martial arts sect and more like a family.

The Lihua faction does not open the mountain gate, and it has been closed since the establishment of the faction. We do not accept disciples from outside. When the sect was first established, there were people who came to make friends and people who came to ask for advice.

But all of them were turned away. Because the arrogance of the Lihua faction also triggered a small alliance crusade back then, but the strength of the Lihua faction is not bad, and these crusades have been blocked, and no one has bargained.

After a long time, the surrounding martial arts sects found that the Lihua faction was low-key and never took the initiative to infringe on the interests of the surrounding areas. Guarding one's own one-third of an acre of land is happy, and it is no longer regarded as a thorn in the side. And just like that, twenty years have passed. ”

"Keep a low profile and don't communicate with the outside world. Although the sect is small, its strength is not bad. Lu Sheng propped his head and thought about it and said, "If you want to hide any secrets, you can turn into an ordinary person."

Since you have started a sect, don't be low-key, and you have to have low-key strength if you are low-key. How can a small sect make a living in such a low-key manner? If it is so secretive, there must be other schemes.

The gold, silver and jewelry in the secret room are proof of this, and the Lihua faction is afraid that it is not a good type. I suspect most likely...... Black eats black. But the murderer did not search for the whereabouts of the treasure...... Again, that doesn't make sense. ”

"My lord!" At this time, Madoka knocked on the door and came in, "My lord, the coroner's team has received news, the cause of death seems to be a little strange, they ask your adult to take a look." ”

"Okay!" he said, looking up at Xianyun, "Let's go together." ”

Coming to the coroner's team, the coroner argued. Seeing Lu Sheng's arrival, he stopped arguing.

"Your Excellency!"

"What are you arguing about?"

"My lord, judging from the corpse spots on the deceased, the time of death was more than five days. But we have a different view of the cause of their deaths.

Team Leader Peng believed that it was caused by the martial arts master's palm shattering the heart veins, and all the deceased's hearts were shattered several times. However, Team Leader Gao believed that the deceased was slapped after death. ”

"Oh?" Lu Sheng took the autopsy report curiously, and then looked at the open abdominal cavity of the corpse.

"My lord, my heart was suddenly shattered, and there must have been a large amount of blood pouring into my abdomen. But when we open the abdominal cavity, there is very little blood in the abdominal cavity. ”

"Although Team Leader Gao also has martial arts, he is not a martial arts person after all. There is a lack of understanding of the methods of martial arts people. Team Leader Peng sneered unconvinced.

"There are tens of thousands of palm techniques in the martial arts, and there are no less than 100 kinds of broken heart palms. Some martial arts are poisonous, and some have other special properties.

It is not impossible to block its blood vessels while breaking the heart with one palm, causing blood vessels to shrink and slow down the amount of bleeding. ”
