As he had arrived at the place where lunch was expected, the driver drove the bus to the parking lot next to the check, where there was a row of restaurants and shops serving passing passengers. The driver told everyone that after everyone was checked, they went to a restaurant called Yuzhou Hotel for lunch.

Generally speaking, this kind of long-distance bus has its own familiar "designated hotel" on the highway, and the driver takes passengers to eat for free, and there are some small rebates.

However, there is no compulsion to eat at a designated restaurant.

Passengers queue up to pass through checkpoints, check their documents, and occasionally the police officer asks questions.

Ling Li was inspecting that he handed out his military academy student card, which had not expired.

"What are you doing in Dingchuan?" The policeman who checked the documents asked with some curiosity after looking at Ling Li's papers.

There is no problem with the documents, and if you are a cadet, naturally there is no problem.

"Just passing by, I'm going to Xiahe." Ling Li replied.

"It's been a little unsafe lately, military cadets like you are going out, so be careful." The policeman reminded Ling Li when he returned his papers.

"Is it a cultist? That's a bit too rampant, isn't it? After Ling Li understood the meaning of the other party's words, he secretly thought to himself.

As he walked to the front of the restaurant, he thought about it and turned into the shop next door.

"Boss, come to a pack of Qingcheng." He asked for a pack of cigarettes and then casually asked, "What's wrong?" It's very strictly inspected on this road, and even the army has been dispatched, so it won't be like this all the time, right? ”

The owner of the shop, an elderly man, said while taking a cigarette: "Of course you won't hear about it on the road, I heard that there was an accident last night, and there was a major murder of the Bai family in Huaiqiang Fort, killing dozens of people, and people set fire to the entire mansion to the ground. ”

"So serious? What is the reason? Ling Li pretended to be surprised and curious, he took the cigarette and deliberately handed over a hundred-dollar bill so that the shopkeeper could make more change.

"I heard that the Bai family killed someone a few years ago, and that person's son came back to seek revenge, only one person, and the methods were very ruthless." The boss said, then pulled open the drawer and began to give Ling Li change.

"One man...... Now almost everyone is practicing martial arts, is the Bai family weak? Or is the person seeking revenge strong? Ling Li asked again.

"The Bai family...... It's really not weak, there are dozens of guards at home, but in Dingchuan County, it's a character who trembles when he stomps his feet, but the revenge seeker is too strong, I heard that he is an extraordinary person...... Even one of the chiefs of the Sheriff's Bureau was killed......"

This statement made Ling Li feel a little strange, it stands to reason that transcendents will not get along with ordinary martial artists, and ordinary people would not dare to provoke transcendents easily, let alone make enemies.

If the person who seeks revenge has grown in strength by leaps and bounds and entered the transcendent realm in just a few years, there are even more strange things in this.

You must know that it is very difficult for a practitioner to step into the transcendent realm.

For example, Zhu Fatzi's cultivation qualifications are not bad, and he is not short of money and cultivation resources, and he has also used genetically modified drugs. Even so, it was only two months ago that he had stepped into the transcendent realm. And Fan Xiaopang is still in the Yuanying realm, and it is estimated that he will not be able to advance until next year.

Ling Li came to the restaurant, asked for a fried noodle skin, and while sitting and drinking tea, he listened to the discussions of some travelers who had just come out of Dingchuan, and he probably figured out some clues.

Last night, there was a major homicide in Huaiqiang Fort in Dingchuan City, the murderer is on the run, and he is very arrogant, according to the available information, the perpetrator should be an extraordinary person, and there is a high probability that he is still a demon cultivator.

However, listening to the discussions of the people of Nanchuan, the unfortunate Bai family seems to be the local head snake, and it can be regarded as a tyrant, and it is very powerful in Nanchuan.

After hearing that the Bai family actually maintained dozens of martial artists to protect the courtyard, Ling Li felt that this case was far from being so simple.

The trouble now is that the murderer threatened to take revenge on the survivors of the Bai family, and if the other party is extraordinary, things will be a little difficult to handle. Looking at the situation on this road, the police and the military have obviously made arrangements, and it is estimated that it is difficult to gain anything from such an inspection.

Even if the murderer is discovered, the strength of these police and army soldiers will not be able to subdue the other party.

There is an old saying, "Confucianism uses literature to mess with the law, and chivalry uses martial arts to violate the ban." This means that the literati guide public opinion to disrupt the social order, while those who think they are chivalrous will rely on force to break the law. In fact, it is a situation where some people challenge the rules of society by relying on their own strengths.

With the recovery of the source qi and the beginning of the era of national military cultivation, in fact, the gap in the strength of individuals is even greater than before the cataclysm, and even greater than the gap between the army with heavy weapons and the ordinary people before the cataclysm.

With their individual abilities, transcendents can even resist an army composed of hundreds of Innate Realm martial artists.

A case, if it involves a transcendent person, is not a trivial matter.

Ling Li thought about it for a while, and greeted the driver, saying that he had something to do in Ningchuan temporarily, and he wanted to get out of the car early.

The long-distance bus driver found a bus to Nanchuan and asked him to help bring Ling Li to Nanchuan for free.

The big cars are all running line cars, and they are familiar with each other, and they will help each other when there is something.

After lunch, Ling Li transferred to the shuttle bus to Nanchuan.

……

Just as Ling Li boarded the shuttle bus to Nanchuan.

Huaiqiang Fort.

Several servicemen in general's uniforms had already arrived at the scene of the incident.

Due to the importance of the matter, and the fact that the Demon Sect's transcendent realm powerhouse was also involved, Ningchuan City and Xiahe Prefecture could only quickly report the case, and as soon as it was noon, the personnel sent above had already rushed to the location of the crime.

Inside the fortress, the Bai family's mansion, which had been burned down for most of its time and was filled with the smell of burnt and blood, had been surrounded by the security police and city guards.

In the courtyard, Shi Bingyan, director of the Xiahe Prefecture Detective Bureau, looked at the row of charred corpses that were lifted out of the room. Bai Renji, the deputy director who followed him, had a gloomy face, but he could still endure his grief and maintain his composure.

Because the case involved the transcendent realm and demon cultivation, plus it was the family of his deputy Bai Renji, this alarmed Shi Bingyan to come to the scene in person.

What made Shi Bingyan angry was that the murderer was very arrogant after committing the crime, not only threatening to retaliate against other members of the Bai family, but also unabashedly writing a few words of blood on the wall.

"Good is rewarded with good, evil is rewarded with evil, evil is full of evil, and there is a heavenly punishment!"

These words are clearly accusing the officialdom of Xiahe Prefecture of colluding with black and white, and they can't give justice to the people at all, if this word spreads, it will be very detrimental to the future of the city lord He Mingfeng.

It's okay to kill people and set fires, and dare to provoke the government, this kind of thing is absolutely intolerable!

Shi Bingyan was extremely annoyed when he looked at the blood words on the shadow wall, and said to the assistant behind him, "Take someone to tear down this shadow wall in a while, so that more people can see it!" ”

Before he could finish speaking, he heard someone outside the gate say, "What are you doing?" This is also physical evidence, how can it be easily destroyed?! ”
