Chapter 173: Enemies and Friends
Xu Han probably never thought that Ye Hongjian's mouth would spit out such a sentence.
He froze in place, his pupils widened suddenly, but the corners of his mouth twitched, and that look was wonderful to the extreme.
Poof!
Seeing him like this, Ye Hongjian couldn't help but let out a chuckle. She didn't continue to dwell on this issue, but when she saw that her face was straight, she put aside the topic and asked, "I see that you have been sketching on this map for the past few days, how did you find a clue?"
When Xu Han heard this, he came back to his senses, and he naturally didn't dare to continue chatting with Ye Hongjian on that issue. At this moment, he happened to follow this step and said: "Indeed, I have been to the Spiegel Division through Nangong Zhuo's relationship and have seen the remains of the eight people who were killed before. ”
It's probably because of the panic in his heart, when Xu Han said this, there was an extremely rare trill in his tone.
Such a posture naturally inevitably attracted Ye Hongjian's chuckle again.
Xu Han also secretly felt out of shape, he forcibly suppressed the strange appearance that had just risen in his heart, and continued calmly: "The identities of the eight victims are very different, some are ordinary market people, some are businessmen doing small business, and some are chivalrous people in the rivers and lakes, and they have no connection with each other..."
When Ye Hongjian heard this, she was also aroused, she put away her thoughts of laughing with Xu Han, frowned and asked, "You mean to say that the so-called 'monsters' are just killing people for the sake of killing?"
Of course, there may be such villains in this world who kill people just because they like to kill, but this one is obviously not. Xu Han finally entered the state at this moment, and he continued: "Others may not know what these eight people have in common, but they can't hide it from me. ”
"These eight people seem to be ordinary, but the corpses have been taken out of their hearts and livers, and the blood in their bodies has not coagulated after several days. ”
Ye Hongjian also smelled a little strange from this, but she couldn't connect it, so her gaze at Xu Han became more and more suspicious: "This is indeed a bit strange, but these alone still can't find out the murderer, and even if they are all flesh body cultivators, it can't explain anything, there are not many monks who cultivate the flesh body in this Great Xia, and this common point also can't determine what kind of person the murderer is targeting." ”
Xu Han looked at Ye Hongjian, who looked puzzled, he smiled slightly, and continued: "Of course these are not enough, but those dead people not only discovered their physical cultivation, but also something more important. ”
"What's it?" Ye Hongjian asked.
Xu Han blinked, as if he intended to take revenge on Ye Hongjian's previous teasing, he was silent at that time, until Ye Hongjian's eyes gradually flashed with anger, and he said, "Demon Qi." ”
"Demon spirit??" Ye Hongjian's heart was shocked, and with her lively mind, she naturally thought of the Senluo Hall that Xu Han had told her before. Cultivating the flesh with demonic power, as far as she knows, there is only one in the world.
It seemed that he also saw Ye Hongjian's thoughts, Xu Han nodded: "You are right, it is Senluo Palace." ”
"Although the stronghold of the Senluo Palace in the Henghuang City has been eradicated by Fang Ziyu with the Sword Pavilion, from what I know about the Senluo Palace, they have always been pervasive, and it is not a strange thing that there are still some of their spies lurking in this Henghuang City. ”
Ye Hongjian suddenly understood, but soon a new question rose in her heart, and she asked again: "Since you have found the target of his attack, then why do you still want to startle the snake and send those sword-wielding people to patrol the city these days?"
According to Ye Hongjian's idea, the best way to catch the murderer at this moment is to find out those Sen Luo Hall spies who are still lurking in the Henghuang City, and then arrange people around them, waiting for the murderer to strike again and capture one of them.
But instead of doing this, Xu Han let the sword-wielding people patrol the Imperial City with great fanfare, which clearly wanted to tell the murderer that he wanted to arrest him, so that if the murderer was not stupid to the extreme, he would hide it anyway, at least until the rumors passed before it would appear again.
It's just that at this moment, Xu Han's face can't see the slightest self-defeating self-defeating consciousness, and the corners of his mouth still outline a faint smile: "There are many people who want to arrest him, such as the Ming Spiegel Division of Great Xia who has planted no less than a thousand people in this Henghuang City these days, and wants to take down one of them when this person makes a move." But that guy was able to evade Spiegel's pursuit for so many days, and he was obviously an extremely sharp person. ”
"Of course, I sent these sword-wielding men to startle the snake, but it was not only the snake that was shocked, but also the snake catchers who wanted to catch the snake. ”
"Wherever the sword bearer goes, those dark lines of the Spiegel Division are afraid that they will also be exposed to the eyes of this murderer, and they will naturally hide for the time being. They are just as you think, the sword-wielding man wants to catch the murderer so blatantly, and the murderer will naturally not appear. And the movement of those dark lines allowed me to figure out the distribution of the manpower that the Spiegel Division had placed in the Imperial City. When Xu Han said this, he pointed to the map of Henghuang City that he had sketched all over.
Hearing Xu Han's words, Ye Hongjian looked at the map again, and then realized that the places outlined by Xu Han were all the dark lines that he had noticed in the Spiegel Division these days.
"So what you've been doing these days is actually to avoid the eyes and ears of those Spiegels' dark lines, and to find a place where their surveillance network is relatively weak, or simply non-existent. Ye Hongjian's gaze swept over the map one by one, and finally landed on a corner that had not yet been marked - Kutou Lane!
"Are you afraid that those people from the Spiegel Division will find out the murderer, and when you lead the other party out, they will ruin your calculation and take the credit?" Ye Hongjian said with deep eyes, her gaze at Xu Han couldn't help but be a little different at that time, of course she knew that Xu Han was a smart person, but she never imagined that Xu Han could sort things out so clearly in such a short period of time, not only the enemy, but also some of the unstable factors that existed.
The corners of her mouth rose slightly, with a smile, the man she fancied was really extraordinary.
It's just that before this smile could completely swing at the corner of her mouth, Xu Han shook his head.
"I really don't want Spiegel to be involved in this matter, but I'm not afraid that they will take the credit, I want to save him..."
Xu Han said, his eyes suddenly lit up with a cold light, and his tone became a little gloomy.
"After all, the enemy of this enemy is a friend... Not an enemy, at least for now..."
