In the end, things still didn't go in the worst direction, although Xiahou Tai had a tough attitude, Zhuge Zheng was tougher than him.

In addition, there is indeed no obvious evidence that Ma Teng is the murderer of Xiahou Yuan. So in the end, Ma Teng was only confined to the state guesthouse, and he was not able to leave Kyoto until he was completely cleared of suspicion.

As for why it is a state guesthouse, this is also a decision made by Zhuge Zheng after considering that Xiahoutai may jump over the wall in a hurry and directly kill Ma Teng through improper channels.

After all, the State Guesthouse is directly under the royal family, even if Xiahoutai's father is a minister, he doesn't dare to mess around here.

And for this result, Ma Teng also said that he had no objection. Because he didn't believe that Xiahoutai could find any useful evidence.

Following several staff members of the Demon Suppression Division back to the State Guesthouse, Ma Teng once again lived a simple life.

But in his opinion, this is no different from before, anyway, he usually doesn't like to go out much.

And even if he was in the room, it didn't affect his cultivation. With the special existence of the training camp, the constraints of the venue no longer exist.

At the same time that Ma Teng entered the state of cultivation. The Demon Suppression Division also launched a close investigation into what happened during the previous martial arts hunt.

Because this matter had a great impact and even attracted the attention of the monarch, the Demon Suppression Division did not dare to slack off in the slightest.

They first mobilized all the cameras and video data taken by drones in Yulong Mountain to investigate one by one.

But the process was not going well for them. This is because there are a significant number of areas where video material does not exist.

In some places, there is no video recording device, and in other places, the surveillance footage is lost.

"Minister Xiahou, the last place where your prince appeared was near Snake Valley, but it's strange there, all the drones crashed for no reason. So much so that no video data was left. ”

In the monitoring room, a technician reported the situation to Xiahoutai truthfully.

Hearing this clue, Xiahoutai's expression obviously changed. Apparently he knew some of the details.

"In addition, according to our survey in the Snake Valley in the later stage, there was a big battle in the Snake Valley, and the scale of the battle was very huge, and even we suspect that the Snake King was once involved." Speaking of this, the staff's tone paused.

"Judging from all indications, the Snake King may have been defeated."

Xiahou Tai, who was originally breezy and calm, immediately frowned when he heard this.

As the deputy head of the Kyoto branch of the Demon Suppression Division, he clearly knew what kind of strength the Snake King was.

This Alien Viper King, who had been captured alive by dispatching three Yuanzheng-level powerhouses, was already a monster at the peak of the Golden Pupil level just by virtue of his physical strength. Plus it's weirdly poisonous. Even if it was a Essence Realm martial artist, it would not be easy to kill it.

That's why after hearing that the Snake King was defeated, Xiahou Tai was so shocked.

"Immediately send a drone to detect it and see if the snake king is injured."

In order to verify this speculation, Xiahoutai immediately ordered his men to send out drones.

After an hour, after losing several drones, the people of the Demon Suppression Division finally found the snake king who was nesting in the valley to recuperate from his injuries.

When Xiahou Tai saw the wound on the snake king's tail that had not yet healed, his face suddenly became even more gloomy.

Since the Snake King was really injured, it also means that someone really injured the Snake King. And this person is most likely the murderer of his son. An unknown martial artist with the strength of the Spirit Qi Realm.

And with the discovery of the second video related to the incident, Xiahoutai became more and more sure of this speculation.

"This is what we found in the drone footage around the last deceased."

As the staff clicked on a document, a video that was not particularly clear was displayed in front of Xiahoutai.

In the picture, a muscular man wearing green bib pants with a golden airplane head is brutally crushing a man's neck.

And after killing someone, he smirked in the direction of the drone, apparently he discovered the existence of the drone. But it seems that because of his own strength, he seems a little fearless.

Needless to say, this was naturally left by Ma Teng on purpose, otherwise he would not have laughed specifically in the direction of the drone.

In order to completely clear his suspicion and create the image of a murderer who does not exist.

Of course, what he didn't know was that he had another consequence by doing so, that is, he completely angered Xiahoutai.

"Ahh Check, check for me, you must find out who this person is, no matter what his identity is or what strength he has, I want him to live better than die! ”

With an angry roar, Xiahoutai slapped the table next to him into powder.

Seeing Xiahou Tai's anger, everyone was silent, for fear that he would spill his anger on himself.

Soon, the video materials about the man in the video were sent to all parts of the country through various channels of Datang. They even asked the Witcher Guild to use the power of the Witcher Guild to find this person

However, the results are predictable.

Neither the official channels of Datang nor the channels of the Demon Hunter Association have found a martial artist who satisfies both appearance and strength.

A week has passed, and only a few warriors who look a little similar have been found, and most of them are foreign warriors. No matter how powerful the Demon Suppression Division is, it is impossible to arrest people across the border.

With such a result, Xiahoutai's heart almost collapsed. He even began to wonder if someone was deliberately targeting him, and the Xiahou family had sent such a strong man of the Spirit Realm to kill his son.

Just when he was on the verge of despair, a call hit his phone.

"Dad, do you mean to let me go to Xiyue to find that magic stick?"

"But aren't they just a bunch of liars?"

"Sorcer? Okay, I see. ”

Hanging up the phone in his hand, Xia Houtai rekindled hope in his heart.

Because just now, his father Xiahou Yi told him a way.

If someone else told him this method, he would definitely spray that person in the face. But this was what his father told him. Then he would have to believe it. And this is also his last hope of catching the murderer.

As for what this method is, it may be a bit mysterious to say it, and people in the Tang Dynasty call it fortune telling. In the Western Yue Kingdom, it is called divination.

However, in reality, it is just a group of tricksters who have mastered special tricks and are deceived under the guise of gods.

"Come on, arrange a plane for me, I'm going to West Vietnam."

In order to find out who killed his son as soon as possible, Xiahou Tai flew to Xiyue as soon as possible.

At the same time, Ma Teng was also told that his suspicion had been completely cleared and that he could finally leave the state guesthouse.
