Qinzhou, Qinwangfu.|.|

King Qin rushed to his son's room and said, "Jie'er, I received news that the Ninth Guard has found out who injured you, and they are rushing to the mansion. ”

"Really?" Li Hanjie, whose expression was slightly decadent, immediately came to his senses.

During these days, in order to make him happy, the people in the house kept sending beautiful girls to him. This person does not refuse, and indulges in gentleness every day, so his face has a serious kidney deficiency.

King Qin smiled and said: "Absolutely accurate, after careful investigation, they finally got a clue, I instructed the housekeeper, as soon as the person arrives, he will bring you directly here." ”

At this time, someone reported to the captain of the Ninth Guard and asked to see him.

"So fast, huh. King Qin waved his hand: "Let him in." ”

The person who came was a middle-aged man in his forties, and he saluted the two of them first: "Shi Jun, the captain of the Ninth Guard, meet His Royal Highness King Qin, and meet the little prince." ”

Li Hanjie couldn't help but take the first step and asked, "Find out who the person who hurt me is, right?"

The middle-aged man nodded and said, "I found it, but I'm not sure yet." ”

"What do you mean?" King Qin asked with some displeasure as he swept the smile on his face.

The middle-aged man replied: "All kinds of evidence point to Xiao Chen, the core disciple of the Emperor Extreme Sect, whose appearance and the weapons he uses are all right, but the last step is still missing. ”

Li Hanjie was also a little unhappy: "Which step?"

"Identified on the spot. The middle-aged man replied.

Li Hanjie stretched out his hand and pointed at his nose: "Can't you handle such a simple thing? The guards who escorted me back last time have all seen him, you can take one of them over to take a look, won't you know the result?" ”

The middle-aged man looked neither humble nor arrogant, shook his head and said, "It's not that his subordinates are incompetent, but that Xiao Chen has been away from the Emperor Extreme Sect for more than three months, and no one knows where he went." ”

King Qin and his son glanced at each other, and the two of them said at the same time: "Send someone to find it!"

The middle-aged man shook his head again: "I can't find it!" Not only are our people looking for it, but the Emperor Jizong and Zixiao Gate are also looking for it, as well as Huayin Gate, that kid doesn't know where to hide, and there is no news." ”

......

Zixiao Gate, the back mountain hides the ice cellar.

The ice cellar was transformed from a natural cave with a small entrance and a large inside, which stored tens of thousands of cubic meters of ice, which was left over from the sect's disciples after eating shaved ice for a summer.

There are three iron gates at the entrance to ensure that warm air from the outside does not enter.

Li Tao found the person guarding the gate and ordered: "The deputy gate master has an order, we must ensure the safety of the bodies of Elder Xu and the others, and no mistakes must be made." ”

The janitor nodded and said, "Senior brother, don't worry, there will be no mistakes, it's autumn now, you don't need to open the door often to get ice, it's safe inside." ”

"That's good, don't take the deputy master's words seriously. ”

After Li Tao left, the janitor returned to the hut next to him, and took out two plates of side dishes and a pot of wine from the cabinet with a smile.

I just poured myself a glass, and before I could drink it, there was a clattering sound outside.

"Who?" he put down his glass and rushed out.

After a few minutes, he returned to the house, shook his head and said to himself, "Damn, a wild cat, I thought someone was coming to steal the ice and disturb my Yaxing." ”

He took the wine glass and drank it all, and when he drank the third glass of side dishes, he lay his head on the table.

Taking advantage of the opportunity he went out just now, Xiao Chen drugged him with alcohol, which was enough for three people.

Get the key and open the iron door layer by layer.

There was a lantern hanging in the ice cellar, a huge block of ice reflected the light, and it was not dark at all, and ten corpses were on the right side, on a simple platform made of several pieces of ice.

He strode over and upon cursory inspection, it was revealed that the men had indeed died from throwing knives and bloody throat poison.

There were no obvious injuries on the corpse other than fatal wounds, indicating two possibilities: first, the killer was a person they knew well, so they did not resist, and second, the murderer was extremely high-ranking and extremely skilled in using throwing knives, and they had no chance to resist at all.

Who did it, I have to admit that this trick is very bad.

Others may not know, but the people of the Emperor Extreme Sect know that Xiao Chen's martial soul is a leaf that can be used as a flying knife, and it is poisonous.

In addition, Xu Jingnan has a grudge against him, and he is dead, of course everyone has to suspect Xiao Chen.

No, he immediately found a clue from the wound on the corpse that turned out, it was a wound left by a flying knife, there is no doubt about it, but his leaf martial soul has a sharp edge, and the wound will definitely not be so smooth.

Besides, poison is not right.

The poison of the martial soul is a combination of the red-headed Jiao and the purple spirit snake, and the ten guys in front of him are more like scorpion venom.

Obviously, the real murderer was a little negligent, only knowing that Xiao Chen's martial soul could cause scars similar to throwing knives, ignoring the jagged teeth on the edge of the blade, as well as the toxicity.

This is not surprising, there are only a few people who know the toxicity of his martial soul.

The appearance of these two clues can completely keep you out of the matter, but the matter is not over here, who is the real culprit behind the scenes?

From the previous conversation between Liu Jianhong and his subordinates, it can be judged that it should not have been done by him, but it cannot be completely ruled out that it has nothing to do with Zixiaomen, just because the deceased did not have any resistance, it is worth the suspicion.

In Zixiao Gate, he can kill Xu Jingnan and ten other people in an instant, in addition to Liu Jianhong, there is also the master of the door, Sun Dong.

Secondly, it is Huayinmen, they left Huangjizong with Xu Jingnan, and they clearly know the route of Xu Jingzong and others.

Suspicious, he removed a clotted and dried blood clot from the wound of the corpse next to him, put it in a box, and put it in a bracelet.

The presence of highly toxic substances in the blood is the key to determining toxicity.

Since the corpse was powerful to him, he changed his previous intention to destroy it, locked the three-tiered iron door, rehung the key on the janitor's belt, and left quietly.

The next thing I'm going to check is Huayinmen, it's sad enough to think about it, I just left Jizhou, and I have to go back again, and I don't know what happened to the nobles and officials over there.

Not to mention, it's a bit of a bit of a look.

Hurry up, did not make any stops on the road, and by the next morning, the little marquis had already stepped into the boundary of Jizhou.

When it got dark, he happened to pass by a town, and he stopped to find a restaurant to prepare a full meal.

The restaurant was small, with only seven or eight tables, and they were all full, so he had to share a table with someone.

Moreover, these diners turned out to be all soul warriors, ranging in rank from the Condensing Martial Realm to the Immortal Martial Realm, and they all carried portable weapons.

What's the situation, the soul warriors have a conference?

He smiled and approached the people at the table: "This hero, the little brother has just come back from the south, is there something going on here?"

The other party was a very easy-going person, and replied with a smile: "The hero doesn't dare to be, you came back from other places, no wonder you don't know." Ten days ago, something strange happened here, it was said that a treasure that fell from the sky that would be very helpful to the cultivation of soul warriors, so everyone came to look for it. ”

Xiao Hou Ye's eyes glared: "Baby, what baby?"
