The sun still rises above the sea level in the east as usual, and the once bustling West Street is now only a pile of broken rubble, with the laughter of children, the noise of husbands and wives, and the chanting of old people...... All turned into black smoke released from the dark buildings, although the fire has been extinguished, the rescue work continues, and the West Street is still cordoned off, and it is the real army that enters this time.

There were many onlookers, in order to ensure the smooth progress of the rescue, a lot of soldiers were stationed at the entrance of West Street to maintain order at the scene, when a bloody corpse was dragged out of the rubble, there was a terrible wail from the crowd, the living hugged the blackened body of the deceased and wept bitterly, there were mothers who lost their children, wives who lost their husbands...... Of course, there is nothing to lose, although they are not from West Street, but seeing a large number of compatriots who have died unjustly, their hearts are indescribably sour.

The major media in the Vulken Islands learned about the massacre through various channels, and the three islands of Yi, Dong and Dye all sent special reporters to the scene to cover the incident, and of course, the local media of the island, the island news agency. A female reporter from the Gazisma News Agency questioned an officer-like person with a mana pencil, and behind the officer lay a corpse carried out by the soldiers.

"General Salmor, there are rumors that this street massacre is related to the military on the island, is this true?"

"Of course not, I can assure you that this incident has nothing to do with the military. Salmo touched his chin and thought for a moment, "However, it is possible that someone wants to frame the blame, judging from the scale of this incident, there must be a rather large force behind the person who can mobilize so many black-clothed masters." ”

"Next question, General Salmo, in your opinion, is this incident related to *, or is it simply to curb the spread of black spot that the person behind the scene ordered the massacre? ”

"I can't judge this, it's hard to answer. Salmo said and waved to leave, but the female reporter followed to ask a few more questions.

"General Salmo, please answer my last question. ”

The female reporter chased after her, but it was a priest's robes who stood in Salmo's way.

"Why are you here?"

Tong Yi looked very sad, and paused and said, "Don't care why I'm here, General! We're a step too late, Sheriff Gu Zeyi is dead!"

"What are you talking about? What the hell is going on?, how did the sheriff die for no reason?" Salmo couldn't believe his ears, he tugged at the comet and shook it vigorously, but the comet kept repeating the same sentence before he believed it was true.

So Salmo opened a female reporter and accompanied him to the place where Gu Zeyi was killed. After crossing a few streets, Salmo saw the figure lying on the half-broken wall - Gu Zeyi, he was still wearing his long-term sergeant uniform, his eyes stared at his front, and his angry expression before death was well preserved, making people can't help but wonder who made Gu Zeyi so angry.

A young man played the role of a forensic doctor, carefully examining Gu Zeyi's body, he pressed the corpse with his gloved hand, then stood up and stared at the edge of the broken wall, and then looked at the blood stains on the corpse's chest, and thought for a while.

"Mr. Sheriff was killed by a swordsman, but the swordsman's swordsmanship was below him. ”

He introduced this person to Salmo as his apprentice Yan Yanfang, and Salmo then asked, "Why do you think that the murderous swordsmanship is under Sergeant Gu Zeyi?"

Judging by the sword marks left on this broken wall. Tong Yanfang pointed to the wall behind him and said to Salmor, "You see, the scratches caused by the many sword moves on such a wall just coincide with Gu Zeyi's sword edge. Salmo immediately picked up Gu Zeyi's saber and compared it with the scratches on the wall, confirming his words.

Tong Yanfang continued: "The position where Mr. Sheriff fell was exactly facing the broken wall, but the location where he attacked the murder with his sword was indeed facing the broken wall, indicating that someone attacked him before he subdued the murder, and it was precisely because of the sneak attack of the other party that Mr. Sheriff would be taken advantage of by the murderer." ”

"See the place that caused Mr. Sheriff's fatal injury?" Tong Yanfang pointed to Gu Zeyi's heart, where the blood that overflowed had already coagulated, "It is unimaginable that a sword spell master with strong sword skills like Mr. Sheriff was actually pierced through the heart with a sword, which shows that the person who sneaked up on Mr. Sheriff must have cast a spell that strongly restricted his movements, and as far as we know so far, the only spell that can restrict the actions of others is the temporal attribute spell, and there are many masters who are proficient in the temporal attribute spell, but the most powerful one on the island is our high priest." ”

"What? You are saying that the high priest Mo Ran is the murderer of Gu Zeyi, which is not a small accusation. Salmo was taken aback, expressing his incomprehension of Yan Yanfang's analysis.

"Mo Ran is just an accomplice, and there is someone else who killed Mr. Sheriff. ”

"Why are you so sure that Mo Ran is an accomplice?"

"Because I fought him. Yan Yanfang said in a straight voice, and then told Salmo how he overheard Mo Ran's plot to slaughter the street, and how he had assassinated Mo Ran.

After listening to what Yan Yanfang said, Salmo couldn't help but be a little annoyed, and said, "Since you already know about Mo Ran's conspiracy, why don't you try to dissuade the patriarch? ”

Yan Yanfang sighed and said: "It's useless, as long as there is the trump card of the patriarch's daughter in hand, Mo Ran can threaten the patriarch, if the patriarch does not agree, he will use Shen Fangli as an ominous person as an instigable person to incite the people to coerce the patriarch to carry out human sacrifice on his daughter and appease the so-called divine anger." ”

"This is too much, unforgivable!" Salmo roared.

He stroked his beard and said, "That's why we need your help, General Salmor." ”

"How can I help you, if it is more than enough to borrow troops against the black-clothed men under Mo Ran's men, I am afraid that if I do this, it will trigger a full-scale civil war in the entire island, which the patriarch does not want to see. ”

Facing Salmo's doubts, Tong Yi said indifferently: "We only need you to send troops to escort Shen Fangli from the island and let her go to the Middle-earth Continent." ”

"This ...... I'm afraid ......"

"I knew it was cruel for a young girl to say goodbye to her family and the hometown where she had lived for so many years, but we had no choice. Seeing that Salmo was still hesitating, she continued to persuade, "This girl has carried too many things since she was a child, and the turbulent island can't protect her safety at all, only the vast Middle-earth continent can find the sky that belongs to her, and ...... I'll tell you anyway, but you have to promise me that you have to keep it a secret. ”

Salmo raised his right hand and swore an oath, so he told him the prophecy about Shen Fangli.

"Now you understand!"

"I see!" Salmo touched his chin and said, "Please rest assured, I will definitely send more men and do my best to escort the patriarch's daughter to the sea." ”

"After getting rid of Gu Zeyi, Mo Ran will definitely speed up his steps to seize power, and his next step may be ......" Tong Yan suddenly thought of something, and his expression became very nervous, "I know what Mo Ran's intentions are, he wants to use this incident to incite the people to demonstrate to the patriarch, and then threaten the patriarch to hand over his daughter." ”

In his opinion, if a large-scale demonstration breaks out, it will lead to very serious consequences, and the opposition can take this opportunity to criticize the political measures of the patriarch, and Mo Ran can take the opportunity to obstruct it, and if the scale of the demonstration is not contained, regional armed conflict is inevitable, and the other three islands of the Walken Islands can also take the opportunity to intervene in the affairs of the island.

If there are no survivors in the West Street rescue work, the public resentment will be even greater, and he suggested that Salmo send more people to guard the patriarch's residence in the past few days in case of accidents. He and Yan Yanfang tried to persuade the patriarch to let Shen Fangli go to sea, and they wanted to prevent the situation from expanding before Mo Ran threatened the patriarch with this incident.

Salmo walked up to Gu Zeyi's corpse and closed his eyes with his hand, once he and Gu Zeyi were both classmates who graduated from the same military academy, but now the beloved Mr. Sheriff has completed his life journey in this way, in addition to sadness in his heart, there is also resentment, he vows to find the murderer of the sheriff.

"Who do you think the killer of the sheriff will be?" Salmo asked, standing up.

"There is one person who is very suspicious, and that is the new sergeant of the police station, Shaper. Tong Yanfang thought for a while and said, "After the sheriff died, it didn't take long for him to climb to the position of sheriff, which shows that he has nothing to do with this matter, and there are all kinds of signs that the murderer and Mo Ran are in a cooperative relationship, what will happen if we assume that the shaving eagle is the murderer?"

"Assuming that Shaved Eagle is the murderer......" Salmo touched his chin and thought, his eyes suddenly lit up, and he said to the child, "Your apprentice's reasoning is really powerful, if the assumption is true, Mo Ran can use Shaved Owl's relationship as a sheriff to indirectly control the police in the city." ”

"Thank you, General, for complimenting the apprentice, since we all understand this, the incident will be clear. He touched his white beard and said, "This matter needs to be kept secret from the outside world, we have to act at night to rescue the patriarch's daughter, understand?"

Seeing that both of them nodded, they looked at the end of the street, in front of them was a road leading to North Street, every person in the island knew that the north block was the administrative center of the entire island, the administrative residence, diplomatic embassies and buildings related to politics were located there, once the demonstration broke out would lead to a chain reaction, they had little time left.

So the three of them went their separate ways, with Tong and Yan Fang heading to the North Block, while Salmo headed south, preparing to mobilize the army.
