"Dead?"

Qin Lang couldn't believe it, "Isn't he imprisoned in the dungeon with the other nine elders? Besides, your dungeon is heavily guarded, how could he die?"

Luo Qian said in a deep voice: "Today's matter, by the time the soldiers guarding the dungeon find them, it will be too late. ”

"Them?"

Qin Lang's expression moved: "Including Li Chongqing, all the ten elders of the Xuantian Sect are dead?"

"Yes, died quietly, and very strangely. ”

Luo Qian said in a deep voice: "I have checked the picture recorded by the Spirit Mirror, everything was normal in the dungeon at that time, and no outsiders came in, but Li Chongqing and ten people died in the cell. ”

Qin Lang frowned: "Apart from them, what about the other prisoners?"

Luo Qian shook his head: "It's all right, it should just be for Xuantian Sect." ”

"It's kind of interesting. ”

Qin Lang touched his chin and groaned, "So the people from the City Lord's Mansion suspect that I did it, and let you take me to the City Lord's Mansion to cooperate with the investigation?"

"You're wrong. ”

Luo Qian waved his hand: "The city lord didn't mean this, he just wanted to ask you to come over and do a favor." ”

Qin Lang was puzzled: "Everyone is already dead, what else can I help?"

"The cause of their death has not yet been investigated, so it is very strange. ”

Luo Qian said coldly: "They don't have any wounds on the surface, and there is no damage to their internal organs, but after I found out carefully, they all died of suffocation, don't you think it's strange?"

Qin Lang raised his eyebrows: "There are no wounds, there are no outsiders in the dungeon, but he died of suffocation?"

"Yes, that's exactly what I don't understand. ”

Luo Qian said in a deep voice: "And I dare to conclude that this is a deliberate murder by someone at all." ”

"Then the city lord invited me over because he wanted me to help the city lord's mansion investigate?"

The corners of Qin Lang's mouth twitched a few times: "It's okay if you fight and kill, but isn't this investigation of the case the strong point of your Dragon Army?

Luo Qian glared at him: "Boy, you have so many unknown secrets hidden in you, maybe you really have a way?"

Qin Lang's eyelids twitched: "So Uncle Wu, he doubts that I have the ability to help you solve it?"

"You should understand how much negative impact this will have on our City Lord's Mansion and the Dragon Warrior if someone dies in the dungeon under our care. ”

Luo Qian's face was expressionless: "This matter has now been blocked by our people, except for some prisoners in the dungeon, there are not many people who know about this matter, and even the people of Xuantian Sect have not been notified until now." ”

"I see. ”

Qin Lang's face sank.

The death of someone under the nose of the city lord's mansion is not only a matter of dereliction of responsibility, but also disturbs the people's hearts.

After all, the City Lord's Mansion represents the entire Jiangnan City.

Being able to be guarded by so many people, there are still incidents of dead people, which shows that the person who started it will not be afraid of the City Lord's Mansion at all, and even take the City Lord's Mansion in his eyes.

If this spreads, the entire Jiangnan City will be panicked.

"Let's talk about the specific matter when we get to the City Lord's Mansion. ”

Luo Qian patted Qin Lang on the shoulder: "If you can solve this matter for the City Lord's Mansion, maybe the matter of the death of the disciple of the Hanlin Xuan Sword Sect today, the City Lord will also settle it for you." ”

"Is this on my head again?"

Qin Lang wanted to cry without tears: "Fei Ying repented of the agreement first, and then wanted to kill me, it's right for me to kill him, but it can be regarded as self-defense, right?"

"Don't pretend to be confused, excessive defense is also a crime, not to mention, with this addition, you are already the second time. ”

Luo Qian snorted coldly: "Besides, it's still the disciples of the Sword Sect who are dead now, do you think that even if Du Kang doesn't make a move, the people of the Sword Sect will be willing to give up? You are too naïve." ”

Qin Lang sneered: "I hope they don't give up. ”

"Get some rest, and I'll call you again when you get to the place." ”

Luo Yi didn't bother to argue with Qin Lang, and began to close his eyes and pretend to sleep.

Qin Lang pursed his lips, pillowed the back of his head with his hands, and lay down.

The carriage galloped along the way, and after three and a half hours, it finally arrived at the City Lord's Mansion.

After getting out of the carriage, Yang Yanzong and his brothers waited in place.

And Qin Lang, under the leadership of Luo Qian, walked for nearly half an hour and came to a house.

The house is only one floor, but it is about fifteen meters high.

The location is relatively offset, located in a corner of the City Lord's Mansion, and the exterior walls of the house are made of black iron.

In front of the dark gate, two soldiers of the Sword Blade Battalion were guarding.

This is the mortuary, that is, the place where the bodies are kept, which has been vacant for many years.

If it weren't for this incident, I wouldn't want more people to know about it, and I wouldn't have had to move the corpse from so far away from the dungeon.

The people of the Jianfeng Battalion glanced at Luo Yi and Qin Lang lightly, and opened the gate open.

Although the Sword Blade Battalion looks down on the people of the Blade Battalion, it is impossible to find trouble here at this important and critical moment.

Walking into the house, a rotten smell came to their faces, causing Qin Lang and Luo Yi to frown and cover their noses.

Qin Lang's eyes froze and glanced at the furnishings of the room.

The room was ventilated on all sides, but there was no furniture, not even a stool.

In a room of hundreds of square meters, there were only two people, except for ten corpses covered with white cloth and placed on straw mats.

One is a middle-aged man in a silver python robe.

He carried his hands behind his back, and there was a touch of heroism between his eyebrows, which made him look extraordinary.

This person is the city lord Wu Zun.

And beside him, it was not Wu Yong's personal guard, but an old man who was lying on his back.

He was skinny, less than one meter seven tall, but he had a two-star martial arts cultivation, and he was wearing a cyan robe with four leaves, and he was a four-rank Dan master.

"His name is Zhang Chongsheng, he is one of the chief alchemists of the Dan Palace, and he is also the worship elder of our City Lord's Mansion, who is responsible for alchemy and helping to deal with some of the more difficult cases. ”

Luo Qian lowered his voice in Qin Lang's ear: "He and Zhang Yaoyang's grandfather, that is, the deputy hall of the Dandian Palace, advocate filial piety, are relatively close, and he is a little insidious, if he gets into trouble with you, you must bear with it." ”

"Shinobi?"

A sneer appeared on the corner of Qin Lang's mouth, and he walked over.

If it was replaced by an ordinary Dan Master, of course he would not take it to heart, but if it was related to Zhang Yaoyang, he didn't have to guess that this old man would definitely take advantage of the problem to play.

After all, Zhang Yaoyang suffered a big loss at his hands, and many people in the entire Jiangnan City knew about it, let alone the people inside the Dandian?

He sincerely felt that it would be good if this old man knew each other a little, but if he was embarrassed, then he could only be sorry for Wu Zun and Luo Yi.

"Coming?"

seemed to sense that someone was approaching behind him, Wu Zun didn't turn his head, and said lightly.

"Uncle Wu called the kid to come, how dare the kid slack off?"

Qin Lang smiled, came to Wu Zun's side, hugged his fists and said: "No, I'll come non-stop right away, I'm afraid that Uncle Wu will be unhappy and arrest me into the dungeon, then when the time comes, who will I cry to?"

"It's only been a long time since you've seen you, why have you become so oily?"

Wu Zun's face was as usual, and he stretched out his hand and pointed to the ten corpses on the ground: "Since you are here, let's help see how these ten people died." ”

"Do your best. ”

Qin Lang smiled and became serious.

"You are Qin Lang?"

At this time, Zhang Chongsheng suddenly spoke.

Qin Lang turned a deaf ear, didn't even have the interest to look at him, and squatted down.

"Humph!"

A chill flashed in Zhang Chongsheng's eyes, and he hugged his fist at Wu Zun and said: "City Lord, this investigation case has always been carried out by our City Lord's Mansion and the Dragon Army's own people, and now it is handled by an outsider, if it is spread by some villains with bad intentions, the people outside will definitely think that our City Lord's Mansion is empty, this is an insult to the majesty of our City Lord's Mansion?"

"This kid still has some ability, and I asked him to come here to help the City Lord's Mansion solve this matter as soon as possible, so as to save a lot of dreams at night. ”

Wu Zun said lightly: "As long as you work together, I believe that the specific cause of death of these ten people will soon be revealed." ”

"What can a yellow-haired boy with a milky smell of not drying up?"

Zhang Chongsheng was a little unhappy: "Isn't it just relying on some side ways to take advantage of opportunism? ”

Wu Zun raised his eyebrows and remained silent.

Luo Yi's eyes narrowed slightly, and a trace of disgust passed through the depths of his eyes.

"City Lord, if you believe that he can solve this matter, then the old man will not accompany him. ”

Zhang Chongsheng said coldly: "The old man still has pills to refine, and he doesn't have time to waste time with a yellow-haired boy here." ”

Luo Yi said in a deep voice: "Zhang Chongsheng, the city lord asked you and Qin Lang to come over, so that you can solve the matter as soon as possible, not to see that you are angry here, you don't have to rely on having a little relationship with Zhang Xiaotian." ”

Zhang Chongsheng said disdainfully: "The old man is talking to the city lord, when will it be your turn to interject?"

"Old thing, are you going to do something?"

Qin Lang finally couldn't bear it anymore, and suddenly snorted coldly.

He stood up, walked up to Zhang Chongsheng, and looked down at Zhang Chongsheng, who was a head shorter than him, condescendingly, his eyes became cold.
