After leaving the Temple of the Moon God, the floating leaves returned to their residence and visited the painting heart again. Huaxin had fallen asleep after taking the medicine, but the floating leaves did not wake her up.

Because Su Mo had to take care of Huaxin and his mother, Fushengye let him stay in the villa.

After receiving the order from Gesang Yuzhen, Lan Ye immediately summoned the Seven Swords to come to the residence of the floating leaves.

The seven of them are now the strongest combat power in the Moon Temple, and with their peers, Fushengye is full of confidence in today's mission.

After Baturu came to Xishan, he ordered Renjie Zhen Dan to lead the team back to Liming Pass and wait for news from him.

Renjie Zhen Dan reluctantly released the people he had captured, and then went down the mountain in disgrace.

Fushengye and Seven Swords, as well as General Baturu, also rode their horses and whips towards Suri Town.

The Floating Leaf took the lead, followed by General Baturu and the Seven Swords.

From time to time, Ahri came out from under the black robe of the floating leaf, climbed on the shoulder of the floating leaf and looked around. General Baturu quickly whipped his horse and said side by side with the floating leaves: "You little white fox looks really extraordinary!" ”

"When I first met Prince Huayan, he wanted me to exchange Ahri for his friendship with me. ”

General Baturu said: "Then why did you reject him? ”

Fushengye said: "I didn't reject him openly!" I just told him that he had misjudged his friendship and the value of my Ahri in my heart. ”

General Baturu laughed: "Then you might as well reject him openly!" ”

Ahri stood on the shoulders of the floating leaves, suddenly becoming restless. The floating leaf hurriedly grabbed the reins, and the horse "neighed" and let out a long roar, and stood upright on its legs.

General Baturu and Seven Swords also stopped. They saw the floating leaves riding on horseback, their eyes slightly closed, their heads slightly tilted and they inhaled deeply.

Lan Ye drove forward: "Is there something wrong?" Eldest brother! ”

Fushengye said: "Do you smell a strong smell of blood?" ”

Lan Ye inhaled suspiciously, savoring the breath in the air. She shook her head and said, "I don't feel it!" Then she looked at the junior sisters, and the junior sisters all shook their heads to indicate that they were unaware.

Lan Ye said: "Big brother, could you be mistaken?" ”

Fushengye said: "I will never be mistaken. ”

General Baturu said: "This place is still ten miles away from Suli Town, even if there is a smell of blood nearby, it will not come from Suli Town." ”

Fushengye shook his head: "Not necessarily, let's go!" ”

Ahri slipped from the shoulders of the floating leaf into his arms, and the group of them hurried on in the direction of the town of Suri.

After crossing a bend at the foot of the mountain, the town of Suri was already in sight. In the distance, they saw the sky above the town of Suri blazing.

General Baturu said: "It's not good, something really happened in Suli Town. ”

Su Sheng's game shop was empty, and the yard was as quiet as death.

Fushengye turned over and dismounted, pushed open the firewood door, and walked into the small courtyard of the game shop. This morning it was still full of life, and when he heard the sound of horses' hooves, the boy named Su Xiao would run over to lead the horses.

Now there were seven horses outside the door, and the sound of horses' hooves trampling on the snow "creaked", but no one came out of the store to check.

Fushengye pulled out the Qingfeng sword and cautiously pushed open the door of the store with the blade and entered the store.

Lan Ye asked the junior sisters to be on guard, and she herself entered the store with the floating leaves.

Fusheng Ye followed the smell of blood and saw Gu Ruoyu's cold corpse on the bed in the bedroom.

Floating leaves' hearts chuckled and were sad for a while. He lamented: "What a good girl, she was fine in the morning, but she became a corpse in the afternoon." ”

Lan Ye also came to the room, glanced at the dead body of Gu Ruoyu, and hung his head and couldn't bear to look at it.

Fushengye endured his grief and came to the bed, ripped off the curtain at the head of the bed and covered Gu Ruoyu's corpse.

Gu Ruoyu's corpse was undressed, and at a glance, Fushengye knew that she had been defiled before her death. After insulting Gu Ruoyu, the gangsters broke her neck, leaving her suffocated to death in despair.

"From the surface of her corpse, it is speculated that the time of her death should be between six and eight hours, and he was violently treated by at least two or more men before his death..."

Speaking of which, Fushengye smashed the dresser at the head of the bed with a resentful palm.

Hearing the movement in the house, Ina shouted, "What's going on in the house?" ”

Lan Ye said: "The boss lady was killed!" ”

Lu Yaoyi's cry came: "Here—there's a dead man here too!" ”

She stuttered a little as soon as she was excited, and it took everyone to understand what was going on after shouting a few times.

Fushengye hurriedly followed Lu Yaoyi's voice to the back kitchen and saw a middle-aged man wearing a white apron lying on the ground. There was a large patch of blood flowing from beneath him.

Fushengye said: "The deceased was wearing a cook's apron, and one leg had an old wound of broken bones, and he was between twenty-four or five years old. Although I hadn't met him before, I speculated that he was Su Sheng, the owner of the hotel. He had his throat cut and bled profusely to death. ”

General Baturu said: "He won't be the witness you say!" ”

Fushengye said: "He's not, the girl inside is." ”

General Baturu said: "But they are all dead, this is called death without proof, do you think their deaths will be related to the disappearance of Prince Huayan?" ”

"I don't know, judging from the time of their deaths, they were killed shortly after we left this morning. If it was related to the Painted Faces Prince, they had been killed when they saw the Painting Faces Prince three days ago! ”

General Baturu said: "You are right! Are there any other witnesses? ”

Fusheng Ye was about to shake his head, but he suddenly said, "There is also Su Xiao, their nine-year-old son." Has anyone seen a child? ”

Seven Swords gathered together when they heard the shouts of the floating leaves, and they all said that they had not found a little boy nearby.

Fushengye said vigilantly: "In the village, go and have a look." ”

General Baturu said: "There is still a fire burning in the village, but I don't see a single person fighting the fire, or someone who is hiding from the fire has escaped, I'm afraid..."

Hearing this, Seven Swords quickly walked towards the village.

On the way, they intermittently found the bodies of several villagers.

Floating leaves immediately checked the victims one by one to see if they were dead, hoping that one or two survivors would be found among the many villagers who had been killed.

If you are lucky enough to find a live mouth, it can also provide the most favorable clues and evidence for solving the case.

It's a pity that I turned over more than a dozen corpses in a row and didn't find a single survivor.

Fusheng Ye said to Lan Lanye: "Lan Lan, you let the junior sisters take it."

This place is a radius of two miles from the "center" to the "surrounding", and carefully examine to see if any clues will be found. ”

Lan Ye said: "Okay! Do you want to broaden your search based on the situation? ”

Fushengye said: "Be careful! Tell everyone to work in pairs, don't go too far with each other, fire arrows for help when you encounter danger, don't hesitate, and don't face gangsters alone. The origin of this gang of murderers is unknown, but there is certainly more than one person. ”

Lan Ye called Yina and the others, and divided them into three groups to investigate the situation in different directions.

General Baturu said: "These villagers who were killed outside the village should be dressed as hunters. There are still many corpses in the village, and it is believed that they are dressed as farmers. The dead were young men, the hunters were armed with spears and bows and arrows, and the farmers were armed with different forks and hoes. It is clear that they were killed in the defense of a foreign enemy. ”

"But their enemies are too strong. There was no trace of a fight at all. They were one-sidedly slaughtered. ”

Lan Ye walked with them: "Where are those old and weak women and children? ”

General Baturu pointed to the sky-high fire in the center of the village and said, "Where should it be?" ”

Lan Ye shuddered as she looked at the billowing smoke mixed with the firelight and imagined that it might be countless corpses burning.

The fire was so big that a few of them couldn't save it.

They circled around the fire, and occasionally they could see figures burning on their stomachs in the fire, both old and young.

Lan Ye couldn't stop vomiting, and Fushengye folded his hands and said, "Hell is in the world!" ”

General Baturu said: "The fire is too big, and it will continue to spread, at least until tomorrow morning." Such a big murder case should be reported to Drifting Snow City, so that the criminal officer of the Criminal Department can dispatch the arrest and work together to solve the case. ”

Lan Ye said: "I will immediately fly the pigeon and report the matter to the Criminal Department." ”

During the Taiping period, such a tragic incident occurred near the Temple of the Moon God, known as the Sacred Tunnel of the Snow Land, and it was of great importance. General Baturu immediately returned to Dawn Pass to mobilize his forces to focus on the case.

When Fushengye returned to his residence, it was too late, and the tragedy in Suli Town had already spread in Xishan. The more people who don't know the truth, the more they can tell the confusing facts of the case.

Fushengye found Su Mo and asked him to pass the order, and all the people on the West Mountain, whether they were miscellaneous servants or doormen, who dared to talk about the tragedy in Suli Town again, would be slapped twenty and expelled from the mountain gate.

The nervous look that had been going on for many days made Fushengye a little tired, and he also began to have a migraine, but he endured the pain and didn't tell anyone.

He had a premonition that his body was about to feel unwell, and it was likely that the blood was about to break out, so he took a qi and blood pill in advance in case of emergency.

After taking this Qi and Blood Pill, there were only two Qi and Blood Pills left in his hand.

He felt for the Starship 09 pistol in his arms. Examination of the pistol's magazine revealed that there were three more bullets inside. He wouldn't use a pistol again until he had to. Because once Starship 09's bullets are depleted, it is not as good as a stone.

The crescent moon like a moth eyebrow hung in the night sky, and the floating leaves looked at the starry sky with thousands of thoughts.

It was another sleepless night, with Ahri alone by his side.

When the sky was just polished, a dry catcher and a handyman came to Suli Town with a few servants.

They are all capable forces drawn from the local yamen overnight in the city near the Moon God Temple of the Flying Brother of the Punishment Department of Drifting Snow City.

More than half of the houses in the village of Suri were reduced to ashes in the fire, and after dawn the handymen began to assist in moving the bodies and counting the number of victims.

The arrester began to carefully observe the crime scene, wanting to explore the possible whereabouts of the criminal through the clues left by the criminal.

It took a whole day for the servants to sort out the number of victims in Suli Town.

The town of Suli originally had a population of 131 people, and 130 bodies of the victims were found. One person is missing, and his whereabouts are unknown.

The servants spent the middle of the night verifying the identities of each of the victims. In the name of the Moon Temple, Fushengye sent a message to the servants, asking them to keep an eye out for a nine-year-old boy named Su Xiao among the victims.

The servants replied that the fire was so large that forty-one of the bodies found in the fire were unrecognizable. I only know that most of them are old and weak, women and children.

The identities of the strong men killed outside the fire have been fully confirmed, and they are all villagers from Suri Town.

No one from the outer village was found in the body. Most of the strong men who were killed were killed with a single sword. The wounds of the victims are all in all vital parts of the human body, and the wounds are evenly sized and reach the organs.

The authors speculated that the murder must have been the work of a group of specially trained killers.

They are deducing the shape of the weapon that caused the wound based on the size and depth of the wound.

The matter of finding Su Xiao has been handed over to a catcher to investigate, and it is unlikely that he will be found. In his reply to the Moon Temple, he asked the floating leaves not to have too much hope for this.

In addition, the arresters also found some murder weapons left by criminals a few kilometers away from Suli Town.

According to them, those tools of crime should be unique to the Tiefutu of the Suzaku Camp of the Zhangxiong Division.

Listening to the news that came, Fushengye felt that someone had woven a large net with a conspiracy and was covering the head of the Zhangxiong tribe.

As the former son of the Elephant Hung Division, he knows the truth that there are eggs under the nest.

For his own safety, he must find a way to save himself as soon as possible.
