Chapter 798: The Murderer
In the territory of Kawaseira, Yingqiu.
The eldest and second, the fourth and fifth of the five fowl brothers, kept watch for a day and a night, until the sky turned white, and the person they were waiting for did not appear, and the third of them, who went to the unknown town to investigate, never came back.
An ominous premonition began to permeate the hearts of the four of them, and none of them spoke, just remained silent. Without the third Li Yi, they suddenly found that they were a little uncertain about what to do next.
At this moment, a man and a horse suddenly appeared on the ground line in the distance.
"It's the third brother's horse!" shouted the fifth Yixun.
He only said horses, but not people, and the expressions of the other three suddenly became gloomy. The boss raised his hand and signaled, and the four of them endured it, and each found a position to hide according to the previous deployment.
This routine was still arranged and designed by the third child, but now his horse is returning, but no one is visible. Who are the people leading the third horse? Lu Ping? But they shouldn't be a group of four, right?
One man and one horse, walking straight towards the woods where they had laid an ambush. When they got closer, they finally saw that it was not just a man and a horse, but also a man on the horse's back, whose face was downward, and he could not see clearly, but his clothes were the same as those of the four of them.
The fifth Yixun was about to rush out, but was stopped by the boss Zhang Hong with a look. They can basically confirm that the one on the back of the horse is their third Li Yi, and the life and death are unknown at the moment, and they don't know what the intention of the person is, so the four of them continue to wait, waiting for the person to enter their ambush, no matter what, take the initiative first.
It's just that the closer it gets, and the eyebrows of the visitors are finally clear.
It's not any of the four people in Lu Ping, the one who led the third mount over, it was Yu Ruo, the lord of Chuanping City.
What's the situation?
The four of them were puzzled in their hearts, and after looking at each other, they remained silent. Yu Ruo led the horse to continue forward, but stopped at a position where he stepped into the ambush range of the four people more than a dozen paces.
"A few adults, are you going to ambush me too?" Yu Ruo shouted.
The figures of the four emerged from the forest, but their eyes fell on the figure carried by the horse.
"Condolences. Yu Ruo said.
The four figures flew out suddenly, and they all landed in front of the horse, and when they looked around, sure enough, it was their third Li Yi who was being carried by the horse, but he had been dead for an unknown amount of time.
"Who is it?" the boss Zhang Hong roared, and the eyes of the four of them locked on Yu Ruo.
"I don't know, when I found it, there was only this one person, one horse. Yu Ruo said.
"Who found it and where?" Zhang Hong then asked.
"In the eastern suburbs of Yingcheng, a passing merchant found it. Yu Ruo said.
Yingcheng!
The four of them were eager to fly, but for now they needed a little more information. Dead people can't speak, but animals are no different from humans in the eyes of their bionic masters. Killing people without killing horses is a big mistake made by the other party.
But the expressions of the four soon changed.
Communication with animals is a small means in the bionic system, but at the moment, they have found nothing to communicate with this horse, all they know is that he carries Li Yi's corpse and walks aimlessly until he is discovered.
"The horse has been tampered with. The second Yu Gang said in a deep voice.
"The other party is a master of the bionic system. Zhang Hong nodded.
"Shouldn't that be Lu Ping?" the fourth Xu Yuan wondered. Judging from the information they have so far, Lu Ping's group does not have the means of the bionic system, which is one of the reasons why the Protector will send their five brothers to carry out this mission.
After speaking, the four of them looked at Yu Ruo together. Yu Ruo didn't show any expression about the judgment they made about the horses, he seemed to have known this for a long time.
"In Kaupira, as far as I know, there are no masters of the bionic system. Meeting the eyes of the four, Yu Ruo said.
"What does City Lord Yu think, you might as well say it directly. Boss Zhang Hong said.
"The cause of death is a little strange. Yu Ruo said.
"The cause of death?" Zhang Hong turned his head to see that the other three were also examining Li Yi's body at this time, and they did show puzzled expressions.
"It's suffocation. The fourth Xu Yuan said.
"There were no injuries, just suffocation. Old Fifth Yi Xun added.
"It looked like there was no resistance, and it was just suffocated to death. Yu Ruo said.
This is indeed quite strange.
Suffocation is a slow process, especially for cultivators, the process can do too much and create too many possibilities. So whether it's a sneak attack or a trap, it's so abnormal that people can't imagine what this is like at all.
The clues have all been interrupted at this point, and the four of them have relied on Li Yi to make up their minds, and they suddenly seem a little helpless at this time. In the end, his eyes couldn't help but fall on Yu Ruo again.
"Why is City Lord Yu here?" asked Boss Zhang Hong.
"When I received the report, I found out that it was Master Li, so I sent it to a few people in person. Yu Ruo said.
"How did you know we were here?" asked Zhang Hong.
"There's very little I don't know about Kawara Ward. Yu Ruo said.
"Then do you know where Lu Ping is, do you know who the murderer of my third brother is?"
"So I say very little, not none. Yu Ruo was calm.
Seeing that the four of them were speechless, Yu Ruo continued: "Lord Li will hand it over to a few, what will happen next, please let the four adults decide for themselves, if there are any needs, but it doesn't matter, Chuanping District will fully cooperate." ”
After saying that, after giving a slight salute to the four of them, he turned around and left unhurriedly along the way he came. The four fowl brothers were at a loss in their hearts. Tracking down the murderer, ambushing Lu Ping and his party, and losing the backbone of Li Yi, the four of them suddenly felt that they didn't even have a direction.
"No matter what, we have to find the murderer!" Zhang Hong, the boss, still stood up at this time and expressed his attitude first. The other three also nodded solemnly, but such a statement seems to be just empty words at present.
"Although our brothers have also had bad relations with some people in recent years, they have not yet had a situation with anyone who is not going to die. At least I don't, the third is the most stable of the five of us, he wants to have it, he won't tell us, what about you? Is there such an enemy?" Zhang Hong looked at the three people.
"The five of us have one heart, and if we have enemies, we are also enemies together, and we don't have such personal grudges. The fourth Xu Yuan said.
"Nope. ”
"Nope. ”
The other two also expressed their positions.
Then it is not difficult to see the motive of the murderer. He may not be Lu Ping, but he must have nothing to do with them. The third child tracked down Lu Ping's whereabouts, and the murderer killed the third child in order to cover Lu Ping and them, which is the only motive I can think of at the moment. Boss Zhang Hongdao.
"That's right!" the other three nodded in unison.
"So if you want to avenge the third child, this matter still has to fall on Lu Ping and them. Boss Zhang Hongdao.
"But they ...... I don't think I'm going to come here, right?" said Fifth Yixun.
One day and one night, based on their estimation of the footsteps of Lu Ping and his party, if they deduced the route, they should have arrived at Yingqiu a long time ago. It was a long time coming, and I thought it was a change of route. If the four of them hadn't waited here for the news of the third Li Yi, they wouldn't have waited so stupidly.
"Start from the beginning! Find the whereabouts of Lu Ping and his party!" Zhang Da Zhang Hong ordered.
"Yes!" the other three responded. This time, not only the task handed over by the empire, but also the blood feud of the third Li Yi must also find a breakthrough from Lu Ping and the others.
"Let's go!" took out the mounts of a few people from the forest, and the four of them stepped on their horses one after another, and finally glanced at Li Yi, the third child who was still on horseback, and left like this.
Practitioners of the biomimetic system emphasize the relationship between man and nature. If it is not necessary, they simply ignore the dead corpse and let the natural environment destroy it. The body of the third child was found in this way, and the murderer also followed this tradition of the bionic system.
Be sure to find him!
With this in mind, the four of them got back on the road.
And Yu Ruo, the lord of Chuanping City, who was separated from them, appeared outside the camp of the Jialing Navy Division soon after.
"What about Xu Qingfeng? I'll look for him. ”
