Usually.

When a practitioner embarks on the path of cultivation, he or she will have less and less contact with ordinary people.

Unless there are specific circumstances, such as red dust refining the heart and the like.

Otherwise, practitioners and ordinary people are destined to be two different worlds and do not intersect.

Because of the relationship between the practice of the exercises.

It is undeniable that there are evil cultivators in this world who want to take shortcuts in their cultivation.

Among them, many evil cultivators will improve their strength by mutilating ordinary people.

It's just—

Once this kind of evil practice appears, it will often become the target of the orthodox practitioners.

So much so that the evil cultivators in the Qing Micro Realm are hiding and hiding like rats in the gutter, even if they kill ordinary people, they will choose to be in a remote place.

As for places like the Imperial City of the Yuding Dynasty.

Evil cultivation is just practicing the Fa and violating the harmony of heaven, but it does not mean that there is something wrong with the evil cultivator's brain.

They will only do things in the imperial city of the Jade Ding Dynasty if they have a long life.

And orthodox practitioners are even less likely to easily mutilate ordinary people.

If there is no valid reason.

Once an orthodox practitioner mutilates a large number of ordinary people for no reason, he will inevitably end up in ruin, discredited, betrayal, and even his own cultivation will be seriously affected, which is referred to as becoming a demon.

So—

Who would have secretly killed so many ordinary people in the Imperial City?

No doubt.

The most suspicious thing is the demon.

The problem is that the demons have not lost their minds, where can the demons who can hide in the imperial city be simple, not to mention that the demons have any reason to kill these ordinary people?

Nian Fan had a lot of doubts in his heart.

But he didn't mean to go to the bottom of it.

At most, he would only secretly inform the Demon Suppressor in charge of his discovery.

However, he didn't know that his every move had already been under the surveillance of the Demon Suppression Division.

"Hehe, I didn't expect this little guy to find out the strange ...... behind it one step earlier than you."

When Xia Mingyuan listened to the first report of the Supervision Division.

There was a smiling expression on his face.

He naturally knew about this strange collective suicide case in the Imperial City, and even attracted Xia Mingyuan's attention to a certain extent.

What is surprising is that he didn't wait for the Demon Suppression Division to find out anything, but Nian Fan, who he ordered someone to monitor, made some gains.

This is undoubtedly a rather slap in the face for the Demon Suppression Division.

But Xia Mingyuan did not blame the division leader who was in charge of investigating the matter, but just asked him to find out the culprit behind the scenes in the shortest possible time.

Outcome.

As the investigation deepens.

The Demon Suppression Division was stunned to find that the culprit behind this case would involve the royal family.

Initially.

The Demon Suppression Division, who got the clues, quickly checked all the watchmen in the Imperial City, and at the same time found the problem from some of the watchmen's gongs, because these modified gongs were the culprits who quietly manipulated the minds of the suicides.

Whenever the gong sounds.

The sound of gongs will emit a special kind of audio.

After the sound of the gong of the third watch.

Anyone who receives this audio will be mentally affected and will commit suicide as if they were sleepwalking without realizing it.

The gongs of the watchmen were all uniformly issued by the Imperial City Si Canghu Cao.

Other words.

There is a problem with the gong.

It means that Kurado Cao has a problem.

When the Demon Division went to Kurado Cao to investigate.

Who knew that the master in charge of Kurado Cao died mysteriously at home.

At this moment, the clue seems to be broken again, but for the powerful Demon Suppression Division, the death of a master book does not mean that they will not be able to check it.

After a multifaceted investigation and interrogation.

Kurado did purchase a new batch of gongs before.

And the person in charge of the purchase is the Kurato Cao Master Book, who died mysteriously.

No one knows where the gong was purchased, as it is the responsibility of the master bookkeeper.

But no matter how secretive the master book is, it is bound to leave clues.

The Demon Suppression Division immediately began to investigate along this aspect, and soon locked down the origin of the gong.

It is reported.

The gong came from an ordinary workshop outside the imperial city.

According to the results of the interrogation.

A few days ago, the workshop received a big customer and customized thousands of gongs in one go.

And through the description of the people in the workshop.

This so-called patron turned out to be an idle scoundrel in the imperial city.

When the Demon Division found out about this scoundrel, the other party claimed that a mysterious person had given him a large sum of money before, and asked him to go to a workshop outside the city to customize thousands of gongs, and then transport the customized gongs to an inconspicuous house in the city according to the other party's instructions.

The scoundrel in the market did not dare to be greedy for this money, it was nothing more than that the scoundrel who had been in the market all the year round knew that the mysterious person was a person he could not provoke, and he was addicted to gambling and he was reluctant to give the other party the reward, so he simply agreed.

After the customized gong was successfully delivered to the designated private house.

The scoundrel in the market kept an eye on it.

Maybe it's because I'm worried that the mysterious person will kill people afterwards.

He had carefully observed the mysterious man without leaving a trace during his contact with them.

Unintentionally.

He had keenly seen a strangely decorated jade pendant hanging from the other party's waist.

After noting down the strange ornamental style of this jade pendant.

So he asked someone to paint the ornament and began to inquire around.

However, the results of the inquiry frightened the scoundrel.

Because—

The ornamentation of this jade pendant is from the royal family.

In other words, only members of the royal family are eligible to wear jade pendants with this type of ornamentation.

Pity.

At that time, the mysterious man wore a hat veil to hide his true face.

So this scoundrel can't depict the other person's physiognomy either.

The clue came to an abrupt end here.

After all, when it came to the royal family, the Demon Town Division didn't dare to continue the investigation, so he could only report it to Xia Mingyuan first.

And Xia Mingyuan directly reported the results of the investigation to the emperor of the current dynasty and ignored it.

If this matter really involves the royal family and the face of the royal family, the next matter will naturally be handled by the royal family itself.

"Do you know who is behind this incident? After all, so many people have died, and those innocent people must be given an explanation, right?"

When this matter is over, it is a lag behind.

Dou Yao, who heard about this, suddenly found Xia Mingyuan.

"I don't know. ”

Facing Dou Yao's questioning.

Xia Mingyuan's answer was very crisp.

"Is there anything you don't know about under this imperial city?"

Dou Yao frowned.

"If it involves the royal family, there are indeed some things under this imperial city that I don't know. ”

Xia Mingyuan said lightly.

"In other words, the culprit behind the murder of more than 100,000 innocent people this time is really from the royal family?"

Dou Yao said in a deep voice.

"If the culprit behind this is indeed from the royal family, things are worse than you and I think. ”

Xia Mingyuan narrowed his eyes lightly and said.

"If there is a situation, remember to notify me as soon as possible!"
