After saying this, the nameless killer tilted his head and lost his breath.

The corners of Lin Qianren's mouth twitched, and he knew that the matter was not so simple to investigate clearly.

Immediately, Lin Qianren began to manipulate Lin Tianshi to start a search in this warehouse all over the heart, and walked down in a circle, except for the crystal box used to place the heart, he looked at a bunch of other things, but Lin Qianren did not find anything else.

He picked up one of the boxes and checked the information inside his backpack.

[Storage box: Quality-Van is a storage box made by a special method to ensure that its contents will not deteriorate. ]

Isn't this an alternative refrigerator?

With a sigh, Lin Qianqian returned to the unknown killer before, and after thinking about it, he decided to search the body to see the situation.

After stripping the nameless killer clean all over his body, Lin Qianren got a broken brown skin roll.

[Broken Brown Scroll: Quality-Fan, a broken brown scroll with some ciphertext written on it.] ]

This seems to be the same as the cowhide scroll he got when he was in Jinan and Feng Yunan when they exterminated the remnants of the Heart Devouring Demon Sect?

Lin Qianren looked in the backpack, and finally found that the fractures of these two cowhide rolls really seemed to coincide.

So what is the ciphertext written on it?

Reluctantly manipulating Lin Tianshi to walk to the street, Lin Qianren used a guide ruler again.

The faint golden light dots sprinkled out, pointing out a direction for Lin Qianren.

Lin Qianren walked there, walked a short distance, and came to a dwelling.

"What's the problem here? Or where is it behind the dwelling? Lin Qianren was puzzled, but he still chose to believe the guide ruler, directly broke the door lock, and stepped into the house.

As soon as he entered, an old man with white hair walked out of the house.

[Xia Zhongjing: "Hou Sheng, why did you break into my house in the middle of the night for no reason? It also broke my door lock, how can it be justified! ”】

Lin Qianren was stunned for a moment, it seemed that the other party didn't seem to have anything to do with the black hand behind him?

[Lin Tianshi: "Old man, I am in Jinan to arrest fast, and I am handling the case, I got the news before, saying that you seem to be related to this case here, so there is a reckless trip, and I ask the old gentleman to forgive me." ”】

Hearing this, the old man shook his head, and then stroked his beard and looked at Lin Tianshi.

[Xia Zhongjing: "You are in this life, according to your approach, even if there is really a criminal, you will have already heard the movement and fled, you can tell me the news you got, I was also an official in the Criminal Department when I was young, and I know a little bit about all kinds of clues, I can't say, I can directly help you solve this case." ”】

Hearing Xia Zhongjing's words, Lin Qianqian immediately felt in his heart, no wonder the guide ruler brought him here, it turned out to be for him to analyze the ciphertext.

[Lin Tianshi: "It's these two cowhide rolls, and I ask the old gentleman to help take a look." ”】

As he spoke, Lin Qianren opened his backpack, selected two kraft rolls and handed them to Xia Zhongjing.

Xia Zhongjing took the cowhide roll and looked at Lin Tianshi a little strangely.

[Xia Zhongjing: "Housheng, you handed over things to me so easily? You're afraid you didn't come all the way to find me, did you? ”】

[Lin Tianshi: "Don't blame ..... old gentleman"]

[Xia Zhongjing: "Well~~, come with me into the house, the ciphertext on this cowhide scroll is still a little complicated, and I need some time." ”】

With that, Xia Zhongjing turned around and walked towards the house.

Lin Qianren manipulated Lin Tianshi to follow him and entered the room together.

In the room, Xia Zhongjing lit an oil lamp, and then slowly covered it with a gauze cover to avoid mosquitoes, and then he slowly spread two cowhide rolls on the table, and brought a set of pen and ink tools from the side.

He looked at the ciphertext on the brown scroll as he began to write something on the white paper.

Lin Qianren came to his side, looked at the white paper, and what was printed in his eyes were the four big characters of "Nine Tricks and Divine Heart", and in the content that was constantly analyzed, different place names and numbers were written......

At this moment, Lin Qianqian suddenly saw two familiar place names, that is, Gaozhu Village and Qianshui Village in Linyang County, and the corresponding numbers behind them also matched the population of the two villages combined.

At this moment, he seemed to understand something.

After the two cowhide rolls were all analyzed by Xia Zhongjing, his expression was a little strange.

[Xia Zhongjing: "Hou Sheng, isn't this a register of household registrations?" Why do you still take ciphertext and write it on a brown scroll? Hey, no, these locations are scattered and untidy, but what kind of target is it? In the future, what case are you investigating? ”】

When Lin Qianqian heard Xia Zhongjing's question, he couldn't help but admire the professionalism of this old man, but unfortunately, he really couldn't say anything about it, otherwise it was very likely to bring trouble to the old man.

[Lin Tianshi: "Thank you old gentleman for helping to parse the ciphertext, but this matter is very involved, I'm afraid I can't tell you." ”】

[Xia Zhongjing: "That's it, you take your things and go, I'm old, that's all I can do." ”】

As he spoke, Xia Zhongjing handed the white paper on the table directly to Lin Qianren.

[System Prompt: You have obtained the Nine Tricks Divine Heart List (Remnant).] ]

Lin Qianren opened his backpack and looked at his profile.

[List of Nine Tricks of Divine Heart (Remnant): Quality-Fan, which records a list of some of the places where the Nine Tricks Divine Heart needs to obtain the Heart Seed.] ]

The words "Nine Tricks" really shocked Lin Qianren.

If the Seven Tricks Exquisite Heart to speculate, the Nine Tricks Divine Heart, the heart needed may have reached an unprecedented level, if the other party really succeeds, then the word corpse mountain and sea of blood will not only exist in the imagination.

After leaving ten taels of gold on Xia Zhongjing's table, Lin Qianren manipulated Lin Tianshi and left the old man's residence without looking back.

Immediately, Lin Qianren took out the map, directly found the location of Jinan, and began to let Lin Tianshi automatically find the way back.

It didn't take long for Lin Tianshi to return to Jinan.

All the way to the official mansion, Lin Qianren directly found Feng Yunan.

At this point, a cutscene begins.

Feng Yunan took the list from the ciphertext from Lin Tianshi's hand, his expression changed for a while, and then he looked at Lin Tianshi.

[Feng Yun'an: "Master Lin, this matter is not trivial, I'll go to Lord Hou together and make a decision." ”】

With that, Feng Yunan took Lin Tianshi into Hou Yan's small courtyard together.

Hou Yan saw the two of them coming, and even said that he already knew about it.

[Hou Yan: "I already know about this matter, but for some reason, I can't make a move, so it's up to you to stop the Mind Eater Demon Sect." ”】

[Feng Yunan: "Please instruct me." ”】

[Hou Yan: "All the counties around Jinan Prefecture have their strongholds for hiding their hearts, I need you to go and uproot them against the places on the list, and as for other places, I will also notify the corresponding people to solve them."] ”】

[Feng Yunan: "Subordinates obey orders.] ”】

The cutscene ends, and the system prompt arrives at the right time.

[System Prompt: You have completed the quest [Investigate the Truth], gained XP*1200, and obtained the Jinan Prefecture Heart Stronghold Map*1.] ]

[System Prompt: Hou Yan is unable to interfere with the conspiracy of the Heart Eater Demon Sect for some special reasons, as his disciple, it is naturally incumbent upon you to uphold justice, please uproot all the heart seed strongholds near Jinan Mansion and smash its conspiracy.] ]

[Quest Tips: This quest is a long-term quest, and the reward depends on the number of strongholds you uproot, the more you uproot, the more rewards.] [Current Progress 050]]

The moment he saw this task, Lin Qianren became excited.

He thought it would be a little difficult to upgrade in a short period of time, but he didn't expect someone to hand him a pillow when he fell asleep.

Fifty strongholds, even if it is one hundred, Lin Qianren can also brush five thousand experience, and it is not easy to upgrade?

In the backpack, I checked the location of the stronghold written on the map, and there were fifty red dots large and small, completely surrounding Jinan.

Lin Qianli made a rough calculation and found that if even if the number of strongholds in Linyang County was counted, at least more than 100,000 people might lose their lives because of this.

This is too exaggerated, after all, Jinan Mansion is only one of the prefectures of Great Xia, if every prefecture has the arrangement of the Heart Devouring Demon Sect, the lives involved will definitely not be hundreds of thousands.

Recalling the four words "Nine Tricks Divine Heart" he saw before, Lin Qianren's heart couldn't help but ripple in circles.

He had seen the Linglong Mental Method, and he knew how many hearts it needed to achieve it.

Roughly calculated, that is, 800,000 people's hearts, but what if there are nine tricks? Is it still stacked upwards according to that geometric index?

If so, isn't that tens of millions of people's hearts? Cutting the population of Daxia by one-fifth may not be enough!

Who was so mad as to create this exercise?

Shaking his head, Lin Qianqian found that his imagination was still too shallow, he thought that the Linglong Mind Method was already the limit, but he didn't expect that there was a higher level of things on it.

This thing, just thinking about it, makes people shudder.

With a sigh, even if Lin Qianqian was going to set off to complete the task, only by quickly uprooting these strongholds and killing the remnants of the Demon Sect could he avoid more people being slaughtered.

However, when he looked at the map of the stronghold, he couldn't help but be stunned.

On the map, the name of Laiyang County is impressive, and it is also one of the targets chosen by the Demon Sect.

Laiyang County is far from Jinan Province, and in fact, it is not considered to be under the jurisdiction of Jinan Province, so why does this name appear on the map?

Lin Qianren was thoughtful, and even roughly guessed the reason.

Lin Tianshi is from Laiyang, and Meng Yu, the head catcher of Laiyang County, is his junior brother, that is, his uncle, so it is not an incomprehensible thing for the name of Laiyang County to appear on the map.
