After bidding farewell to Tian Lingling, Lin Wanqing, and Ma Teng, Xu Yichen turned around, took two steps closer to the official, and said:

"It's been a little delayed, I hope this adult doesn't mind!"

The corners of the official's mouth were slightly raised, and he always spoke with a pleasant face:

"Don't get in the way, don't get in the way!, then Lord Spiritual Weapon, please follow me to the council hall, I have something to say to you!"

Xu Yichen followed the official into the City Lord's Mansion, although the City Lord's Mansion was a bit magnificent from the outside, but the internal furnishings were very simple, and there were not many people in the mansion.

The so-called council chamber was not as big as the Easy Academy, and it was probably the size of the side room of the Purple Mountain Villa.

After taking his seat, the official ordered his servant to make a pot of tea and ask him to bring the porter with him when he went out.

Xu Yichen saw that the official was doing things so mysteriously, and he couldn't help but be a little curious, what kind of thing was it that made this official do this?

The official personally poured a cup of tea, handed it to Xu Yichen, and then spoke:

"The spirit weapon envoy is really embarrassed, maybe in your opinion, this approach is a bit too strange, but in order to avoid panic among the people of Moling City, it is still necessary?"

Xu Yichen took the tea handed over by the official, blew it gently, then took a sip, and said slowly:

"Is it because of those dried corpses?"

"Yes, Lord Spiritual Artifact, the purpose of your trip should be more than just soup kitchen, right?"

Xu Yichen looked at the official, there was obviously anticipation in his eyes, as if he very much hoped that his answer would be similar to what he expected.

"Well, it's just that I originally planned to come to the adults to bother me after the soup kitchen, but I didn't expect the adults to mention it first. ”

Hearing that Xu Yichen's answer was completely in line with his expectations, the official's face couldn't help but show a reassuring smile, so much so that his voice was louder than before.

"That's great, I'm still wondering if I should make a special trip to the Academy, and ask you to go down the mountain to help, because it's a bit impossible to hide if it continues like this. ”

"I've only heard a rough idea of this, can you please let me know the details? ”

"Of course no problem!"

The officer reached for his cup of tea, took a sip, and continued:

"This happened half a month ago, the place of the crime was in the people's residential area in the north of the city, it was late at night, and the newspaper of the time had just thought about it not long ago, the soldiers on patrol at night saw a black shadow passing by, Moling City is not like other towns, there is no night market at night, and naturally there are few people walking on the streets at night. ”

At this point, the official paused, cleared his throat, and continued:

And the speed of that figure was too fast, ordinary people almost didn't have this speed, so the city defense soldier followed, but as soon as he entered the residential area, the figure disappeared, and only the dried corpses left on the ground could be seen. ”

Xu Yichen nodded and asked:

"Did the soldier see what the shadow looked like?"

The official shook his head and said:

"I didn't see anything other than I could see it at all, because the figure was so fast. ”

"My lord, you are talking about this as if you have experienced it yourself?"

The officer nodded unexpectedly:

"Yes, after this happened, I stepped up my night patrols, and every other night I would go on patrol with the soldiers, and I happened to see them once. ”

Xu Yichen nodded and said:

"Since then, there have been several such cases!"

The official thought carefully for a while, and slowly spoke:

"There are 7 up!"

"And those bodies are kept?"

"Preserved, and strangely enough, these dried corpses, even after all this time, still show a hint of decay and stench. ”

"Oh?"

Xu Yichen was very curious about this matter:

"So, my lord, where are those corpses stored now, and is it convenient for me to go down and take a look?"

"Convenient, of course convenient, these corpses are being stored in the yamen, I will give the spirit envoy a token and a letter later, so that basically all places and departments in Moling City will cooperate with your investigation. ”

As he spoke, the official took out a token with a green background from his sleeve and handed it to Xu Yichen.

"Please also ask the spiritual artifact envoy to wait here, and I'll write a letter immediately!"

Xu Yichen nodded, and when the official was about to walk out of this house, he seemed to remember something, and said:

"Have you ever practiced martial arts?"

When asked suddenly, the official was a little surprised, and said:

"The lower official has never practiced martial arts, why does the spiritual weapon envoy ask this?"

Xu Yichen got down and said:

"No, just ask, please don't care!"

When the official walked out of the conference hall, Xu Yichen gently picked up the teacup, took a sip of the warm tea inside, and said:

"It's kind of interesting!"

After a while, the official handed an envelope to Xu Yichen, who took it and planned to get up and leave.

"If the spirit weapon envoy doesn't come, the lower officials really don't know what to do!"

"Your Excellency, please rest assured, although I am not talented in Xiaxia, since I have received the order of the academy, I will definitely go all out to prevent the people of Moling City from falling into panic. ”

"Then it's all up to the spiritual artifact to make the adult......"

After walking out of the City Lord's Mansion, Xu Yichen let out a long breath of turbidity, he was very uncomfortable with the meals of various leaders in this world, and every time he ate with the leaders, he felt that he was pressed by several mountains. The communication with this official also made him feel very uncomfortable.

The yamen was not far from Tian Lingling's porridge, but Xu Yichen did not go directly to the yamen, but looked for people to ask for directions and found a more famous local tavern.

The tavern is a place that is extremely mixed, all kinds of people will drink and chat in it, want to get information and the information they want, choose this place is naturally the best place, of course, more importantly, he has not drunk since coming to this world, Xu Yichen is a little curious, what is the difference between the wine in this world and the current world.

But just as he was on his way to the tavern, a gripping sound came to his ears.

Xu Yichen was a little surprised, he didn't expect that in this town, he could actually hear the sound of the piano played better than Vice Dean Ziyun.

This caused his feet to unconsciously move towards the place where the sound of the piano came from.
