Chapter 307: Ning Hongbin's Death
"Can you tell me what the Land of Vanity is like?"
Ning Hongbin looked sideways at Lin Xuan, "Don't you believe me?" Why ask? β
"It's not that I don't believe it, I just want to give you an explanation, everyone doesn't want to take extra responsibility, you should be able to understand."
"Actually, it's nothing, when Tingji first arrived in the land of vain, everyone didn't believe him, and said that he brought the catastrophe, sometimes, once the prejudice in people's hearts is formed, it is difficult to change."
Lin Xuan agreed with Ning Hongbin's statement, it was the same as Gusen Academy's S plan, who could have known that Lin Xuan, the demon king, was just an expectation created by Lao Hailing and Wu Rong with them.
"Let's talk about it, is there still an ancient demon in the Land of Illusion?"
Ning Hongbin shook his head honestly, then looked at Lin Xuan and said, "If the thunder has disappeared today, if the ancient demons are still alive, do you think I still need to beg you?" β
"Then how is everyone's life, how many demon clans are there? And how many witches? When you come out, where are you going to settle down? β
Lin Xuan's question suddenly made Ning Hongbin a little difficult to answer, because before this, Ning Hongbin had never thought about these questions.
"The two Lich clans together, there can be more than 30,000, and there are some human races, the total number does not exceed 40,000, as for how to place them, this is a problem that your demon king should consider, I am only responsible for handing them over to you."
"You're responsible?" Lin Xuan glanced at Ning Hongbin suspiciously. "Are you the leader of the Land of Vanity?"
"Me?" Ning Hongbin lowered his head and thought for a while, and then said: "Sort of, although the city is controlled by Lord Jifa, the army is in my hands, and everyone is willing to believe me, just like they believe in you." β
"Them?" Lin Xuan sighed, "If I say that they don't actually believe me, will you believe it?" β
"Why, you are the demon king, you are very powerful, you are still the dean, of course they should believe you."
"The human world is different from the land of illusion, you will understand later, I am just a sword in their hands, they need us, and we also need them, use each other, live in harmony with each other, but if there is a conflict of interests, you will soon be able to see the true face of many people."
Ning Hongbin didn't understand Lin Xuan's words very much, because in the land of illusion, no benefit could be greater than life and death, and under the thunder tribulation, they didn't have the extra mind to calculate more things.
Early the next morning, Du Feng came in a hurry.
"Lin Xuan, what about people?"
Lin Xuan opened his eyes dimly, he drank some wine with Ning Hongbin last night, and when he woke up again, the sun had already risen in the east.
"People, who?"
"The demon clan that came out of the land of delusion!"
Lin Xuan stretched out his hand and patted his head, and then said, "It's in the room next to it, we drank too much last night, he should be in the ......" β
Lin Xuan said as he got up and opened the door of the room next to him.
"Isn't it in there?"
Du Feng's eyes widened suddenly, Lin Xuan also turned back suddenly, Ning Hongbin covered his chest, blood flowed all over the ground, and some despair was revealed in his stunned pupils, Lin Xuan woke up in an instant, someone killed Ning Hongbin, and it was right under Lin Xuan's nose.
"Lu Jun, Mu Yun, Wu Daochang!"
Lin Xuan shouted hoarsely, and all the people were attracted by Lin Xuan's shout.
"What's going on? What are you howling in the morning? β
Ting Ji glanced at it from a distance, then turned around and left quietly, he knew that no matter who did it to Ning Hongbin, it would definitely be his turn next.
"Teacher Gu, something happened, what about Daoist Wu?"
Gu Jing stepped forward to take a look, and then said in a low voice: "Wu Rongfei went back to the Heavenly Dao Academy overnight last night, saying that Han Xiangsheng had something important to discuss with him, what is going on, haven't you been together all the time last night?" β
"What about Lu Jun and Mu Yun?"
Lin Xuan looked up and looked around.
"What's wrong, Dean Lin, what's wrong?"
Lu Jun hurriedly came out of the crowd.
"Who was in charge of patrolling last night?"
"Patrol people?" Lu Jun thought about it sideways, and then said, "It seems that there are several disciples of the outer court, and Mu Yun is in charge of this part, and I don't know very well." β
"Bring Muyun to see me immediately, and also, block the scene and news, and don't leak the slightest rumor."
Lu Jun's eyebrows tightened, this sudden accident changed everyone's plans, including Gu Jing and Lin Yiting.
"There are only three of us in the bastards, you tell me honestly, do you suspect who did it?"
Lin Xuan looked up at Gu Jing, and Gu Jing looked sideways at Lin Yiting again.
"Anyway, it wasn't the three of us who did it, and we have no reason to object to the release of the demon clan."
"Aren't you talking nonsense, if I were suspicious of you two, I wouldn't let you analyze it with me."
Gu Jing stretched out his hand and scratched his head, then said, "I think it may be Wu Rongfei." β
"Oh? Why do you suspect Wu Daochang? β
"This man died on his territory, obviously, he doesn't want to release the demon clan from the land of vain."
"But if it's Daochang Wu, why did he kill him after arranging for me to meet Ning Hongbin, Ning Hongbin broke into Kunlun Mountain privately, and killed him directly with Daochang Wu's cultivation, not more simply."
Lin Yiting is also frowning.
"Could it be that Wu Rongfei suddenly felt that something was wrong, so he killed Ning Hongbin?"
Lin Xuan shook his head slightly.
"This is unlikely, Daochang Wu was not in Kunlun yesterday, except for the three of us and Daochang Wu, there should be no one who is Ning Hongbin's opponent, who can kill him quietly, this person must be a master."
"No, there's one other than us."
"Tingji!"
Lin Xuan and Gu Jing both thought of him.
"But did he have a motive to kill? Why did he kill Ning Hongbin, he brought the person, and killed the person at the critical moment, this is unreasonable. β
"Isn't Du Feng here? Both of you have worked in the serious crime team, so there should be no problem with this matter being handed over to the two of you to investigate, right? β
Lin Xuan nodded solemnly, what gave him a headache now was not how to investigate this case, but that Ning Hongbin was dead, many clues were broken, how to save the demon clan in the land of illusion, and how to appease these immortal descendants in the human world. Without Ning Hongbin, everything was back in Lin Xuan's hands.
"I think we have to find the guy who killed Ning Hongbin, now everyone in Kunlun is suspicious, I will go over with the Du group to check the scene first, you help me control the scene, immediately notify Daochang Wu, and the people who made the complicated patrol last night must also be found."
Lin Xuan's arrangements were very detailed, and Gu Jing and Lin Yiting complied with them one by one, but there seemed to be a problem with the on-site investigation.
"Du Group, how are you going?"
Du Feng shook his head with a frown.
"The situation is not very good, you should know, although only a quarter of an hour has passed since we found the deceased, but the people here are complicated, and the climate change in Kunlun is very large, and I can't determine the true time of the deceased's death now."
"This can be handed over to the ......"
Halfway through Lin Xuan's words, it suddenly occurred to him that Ji Han was not around, and they were not the forensic doctors who were used to specifically examine the dead bodies, and Kunlun was not prepared.
"Then this is indeed a problem, even if Ji Han is found immediately, it will take at least a day, our time is limited, we have to solve the case as soon as possible."
"Although the specific time of death cannot be determined, the cause of his death can be certain, you see."
Du Feng pointed to the wound on Ning Hongbin's chest and said: "This is it, the one who killed Ning Hongbin was a master, who went straight to the heart and killed him with a knife." Moreover, there were no traces of a fight nearby, and the deceased's pupils were dilated, so he should have been killed unguarded. β
"An acquaintance committing a crime?"
Du Feng nodded affirmatively.
"It's somewhat similar to the murder in Nara, but the murderer is not as cruel as Genji, and it is certain that there are not too many personal vendettas between him and the deceased, and the murder is likely to have been only given certain instructions, or because of some interests."
Lin Xuan glanced at Du Feng up and down, and then said with a smile: "I haven't worked for a few years, but now I am still shrewd, it seems that Du Group's treasure knife is not old." β
"Don't be kidding, let's do a good job of public relations first, now your identity is special, and the people in the four departments are watching closely, and Ning Hongbin's identity can't be disclosed yet."
Lin Xuan nodded with a gloomy face, then looked at Du Feng and asked, "Do you think the person who killed Ning Hongbin has anything to do with Kunlun?" β
Du Feng glanced at Lin Xuan puzzled.
"Of course it matters, you, me, the ancient seniors, and your uncle, before the case is cleared, everyone in Kunlun is suspicious, how can you, a professionally trained person, ask such a naΓ―ve question?"
"I mean, could it be the hand of someone who knows the Dao?"
"I'm not sure about this, the tools for killing have not been found, and based on the wounds alone, it should be difficult to determine whether the murderer is a human or a demon."
"I have a suspect writing it."
Before Lin Xuan could say anything, he was pressed back by Du Feng.
"You are not suitable for this job now, your subjective consciousness is too strong, which will affect your judgment, you now think that it is Kunlun's Taoist who killed Ning Hongbin, as for who it is, you don't care, you have the answer in your heart, you want to work hard to put the truth on the result you want, how to say it, it is like a ..... of being seated and wanting to add to it."
Lin Xuan stretched out his hand and covered Du Feng's mouth.
"Hey, hey, I don't mean that, it's all Kunlun people here, you killed me."
Du Feng glared and glanced at Lin Xuan up and down.
"If you are a thief, don't worry, I won't harm you, but you have to promise me that I will investigate this case and you will assist."
Lin Xuan raised his head and thought about it, then nodded reluctantly.
"Did you find all the people who patrolled last night?"
"Teacher Gu and my second uncle are already investigating, and there should be results soon."
Suddenly, a Kunlun disciple ran and said, "Dean Lin, it's not good, Senior Brother Lu Jun asked me to tell you that Senior Brother Muyun is gone, and a few disciples who patrol the night are also gone, and the Sea Beast Tingji, he is also gone." β
Lin Xuan stretched out his hand and patted the back of his head, then looked at Du Feng and said, "Damn, these guys are prepared, now you can narrow down the range of suspects, right?" β
After Du Feng bowed his head and was silent for a moment, he instructed the disciple who came to report the news, "Can you take me to the room where the court is staying?" β
"Yes, Ting's place is not far from here, and they have not been here for a few days, and they live in a model house built at zero hour."
"Model house?"
Lin Xuan looked sideways, and then asked, "Is this the one?" β
The disciple who came to report the news nodded slightly.
"That's right, it's this one, I just moved here yesterday, and he said that he lived here closer to Ning Hongbin."
Lin Xuan looked around thoughtfully.
"How do you think of the two of them after getting along with Tingji these days?"
"People are pretty good, just..."
