Chapter 21: Murders
The two of them in the 'Divine Walk', after hearing what Huang Xiaoqi said, immediately rushed to the Mercenary Guild.
At this time, the sky had already darkened, and after the few people who rushed over arrived at the scene, they saw that there were already many people watching, and in the process of watching, everything around the body had been destroyed. This means that the on-site investigation is basically impossible.
The people around were talking about it, and the people who came were basically capable people, and few civilians came, and after such an incident, the civilians of the Heavenly City were all in danger.
And the expression of the capable person was slightly excited, after all, this kind of murder in the city has not happened for two years, and the last time it happened was the 'water cloud' incident in Tiesen Province.
It's not a big deal to watch the excitement, after all, killing people outside the city is just a common thing, and now killing people in the city has a different meaning.
This means that the Empire will forcibly intervene and clean up the killers once they are found, regardless of their rank.
When Ji Zihe got into the crowd, when he saw this corpse, his pupils shrank, it was him.
That's right, the corpse that Ji Zihe encountered was none other than the person who crashed into Ji Zihe's arms after Ji Zihe came out of the Mercenary Guild today.
"This kind of thing is only taken seriously in the city." Said the people around him.
"That's right, if this is put outside the city, it will be a pile of deaths, and no one will look at it. I have long felt that the three major laws of the empire are unreasonable, why do you not care about killing people outside the city, but not inside the city. ”
"You're mentally retarded, if the inside of the city is the same as the outside, you sleep at night, and you don't know how you died."
"What did you say?"
"Didn't you hear what I said?"
"It's fun now, it's only been a long time since the last 'water cloud' incident, and this kind of thing happened again."
"Does anyone want to usurp the country?"
"You'd better pay attention to what you say, if you don't know what you say, your enemies will hear it, and go to the 'Dingyuan' organ to sue you, and you will feel good at that time."
The person who seemed to be a friend next to him kindly reminded.
"It's boring, go back. I don't know who's going to be finished this time, but I'll always know that I'll be able to get some benefits out of it. Hey, hey, hey..."
After the gloomy laughter, there was no trace of the person.
In a dark corner of Fengyuan City, a man dressed in ordinary clothes stepped on a man whose whole body was tied.
"How, how does it feel to look at your brother's corpse?"
"You'd better not let you find an opportunity, or not only will you die, but your family will also be doomed." The man who was trampled on the ground yelled at him angrily.
"What are you talking about? We do this for the sake of the Empire, do you know how many people are dissatisfied with the Empire now? And you know what kind of impact this dissatisfaction will have on the empire? ”
"What will happen to the Empire, I don't know and I don't want to know, I just want to kill you now and avenge my brother."
"Hehe, when you see the storm caused by your brother's corpse, you may also feel honored for your brother's death."
Although the location of the two was not far from the corpse, the conversation in this corner was not overheard by others. Even the angry roar of the kidnapped man did not react at all.
Ji Zihe looked up at the buildings around him, the houses on the periphery of the mercenary guild were lined up one after another, large and small, arranged very neatly.
"Ji Zihe, what do you think?"
"What do you think? What do you want me to see? ”
Ji Zihe was confused by the sudden question.
"Isn't this the kind of thing the empire should be in charge of? Besides, how long has this body been here? No one from the empire came. This kind of work efficiency, even if they destroy the people in Quanfeng Yuan City, they may not be able to find the murderer.
Moreover, do you see where people are standing now, what has happened to the crime scene? Except for the corpses, all filthy footprints. It's no show, I don't think the empire can find a murderer, and in the end I can only find a scapegoat, and this matter can only be counted like this. ”
"The scene of the crime? What is it? ”
Wang Yi looked at Ji Zihe with a puzzled expression, and Huang Ziqi also looked at Ji Zihe with wide eyes after hearing Ji Zihe's explanation.
"Where we are now, that's the scene of the crime, understand?"
"What's the point of protecting this?"
"How did you solve the murders in the past?"
"Except for the recent 'water cloud' incident, I haven't heard of anything like this for quite a long time. Moreover, the 'Shuiyun' incident was also Shuiyun's statement that he did it himself. And this kind of thing is also the task of the 'rat'. ”
"That's a terrorist attack, okay?" It's really hard for the rat, isn't this kind of thing the Empire's management? ”
"Hmph, a bunch of wine bags and rice bags, now that the empire has long since rotted to the roots, what else can you expect them to do?"
Huang Xiaoqi said angrily after hearing what Ji Zihe said.
"If you say this, be careful of being caught."
"If the master is afraid, he won't be a man."
"Count the time, it's almost. It's time for us to go. Wang Yi said.
"Why?"
"Because if the 'Dingyuan' organ of the empire comes, everyone here will be arrested and then tried one by one, and finally the murderer will be caught from here. Do you understand? Wang Yi said: "Huang Xiaoqi is right, the current empire has rotted to the roots. Time to go. ”
After Ji Zihe talked to the two of them, there were only three of them left. After Ji Zihe left, he turned his head to look at the little boy again, and then saw a strange object pressed by the hair from under the little boy's long hair.
"Was it intentional, or was it ......?"
Ji Zihe didn't touch this thing, and kept telling himself in his heart not to have anything to do with this matter.
And when Ji Zihe had this idea, according to his previous experience, he had an idea in his heart that he would definitely have a connection with this matter.
When the interruption continues, it is chaotic. Ji Zihe is not the kind of person who is afraid of wolves and tigers, and then rushed over with an arrow, grabbed the object under the little boy's hair, and then immediately withdrew.
"Huh? Who's that? Who took it? That person wasn't fooled, but I was really surprised. ”
The people in that corner saw Ji Zihe take something with an arrow through the mirror condensed by the elements, and sneakily ran away.
Not long after Ji Zihe and his party left, the Dingyuan organ of the empire came, after seeing the corpse and the empty scene. Grabbed the body and left.
After returning to the 'Shenxing', Ji Zihe couldn't wait to open the thing, and after constantly pinching it, Ji Zihe was also a little puzzled, saying that it was paper, it didn't look like it, it didn't look like paper, but it did feel like paper. And this symbol, which is like a ghost painting symbol, makes Ji Zihe even more curious.
"What is this?" Ji Zihe looked left and right, soaked in water, and roasted with fire, but did not show any information.
"This is the exclusive text used by 'rats' to report intelligence, and it is only used in the circle of 'rats' and at the top level."
Wang Yi, who was standing behind him at some point, said to Ji Zihe in a serious tone.
"You know?"
"Nonsense, I've been following my sister for so long, even if I can't tell what's written here, I know what it's for."
"Your sister is so reassuring about you."
"Of course."
Wang Yi didn't seem to hear Ji Zihe say these words in a strange tone.
"You can't soak it in water or roast it over fire. Let me see. ”
After that, Wang Yi snatched the things in Ji Zihe's hand.
"It's useless for you to soak it in water and roast it over fire, and although your technique looks peculiar, it's useless.
This is made of special skin, and it is appropriate to say that it is paper, because it does feel like paper, and this thing is made from a skin called 'water needlemon' in the Miasma Valley. ”
"Sun He, you injected the earth system elements into this sign."
Later, the symbols on the leather spread out like ink on paper meets water, and then displayed as a map.
After that, Wang Yi turned the map over, injected the wind element into the back, and then took the skin and tore it into two skins of the same size.
One is a map, and the other is a word that Ji Zihe reads as a preface and does not match the afterword. The two skins were then overlapped, in turn.
Then the whole paper turned red, and then Wang Yi said, "Wu Hua, it's your turn." ”
Subsequently, under Wu Hua's operation, a ball of fire elements poured into the overlapping paper, and the entire skin changed to its original color again.
Then he took out the elemental crystals of the four series and ground them into powder, and evenly spread them on this piece of paper. That's when something strange happened.
I saw that the powder on the skin suddenly jumped on its own, and then continued to hover in the air, merging into a strange map.
Ji Zihe looked at the map intently.
"Go and see the back, nerd."
Wang Yi said disgusted to Ji Zihe.
Just when Ji Zihe wondered if it was something else in the future, Ji Zihe once again sighed at the wisdom of human beings in this world.
