Chapter 24: Xiao Yao's reasoning

On this day, Xiao Yao actually got up very early, and he kicked open the door of Yang Yichen and Dongfang Bai early in the morning.

Yang Yichen and Dongfang Bai both looked at Xiao Yao with sleepy eyes, they really drank too much yesterday, and as for the headache this morning, Yang Yichen complained: "Big brother, are you going crazy today? What are you doing this morning?"

Xiao Yao looked at the two people in front of him and said solemnly: "Yesterday, I heard that Sunset City has not been peaceful recently..."

Xiao Yao told everything he heard yesterday, and Yang Yichen and Dongfang Bai listened.

After hearing this, Dongfang Bai stood up: "There is such a thing! Do you have any clue?"

Xiao Yao was the first to walk out of the room: "Yes! Let's go and check first, and we'll know who did it." ”

They went to the restaurant where they had been drinking yesterday, and the owner saw them coming again and hurriedly stepped forward and said, "A few guest officers, we haven't started business today, why don't you come back later?"

In fact, the owner of the shop didn't want them to go in at all, and the three of them drank two-thirds of the wine in their cellar yesterday.

I also ate their food for nearly a month, and at the same time as the boss said this, he walked into Wangxinzhai alone: "Come to a pot of good wine and order good dishes!"

The boss looked at Xiao Yao and the others embarrassedly.

Xiao Yao smiled slightly: "Boss, let's have something to eat and inquire about something by the way!"

After that, Xiao Yao took Yang Yichen and Dongfang Bai inside, and the shopkeeper couldn't stop him.

Soon after, the boss sent Xiao Yao and them out with tears on his face, he looked at the backs of Xiao Yao and the others in the distance, and muttered: "Revenge! This is definitely revenge!"

Xiao Yao also ordered a table of dishes after they entered, and began to eat them.

I also asked the boss about the recent loss of children in the city, and they didn't give money after eating, saying that we are all so familiar with each other, and we will give it next time.

The owner is 100% sure they won't come back.

Xiao Yao and the others went to the Li family who lost their child not long ago, the man of the Li family is called Li Jiang, he is a cultivator in the later stage of foundation building, but he is a good man, and now his face is full of weight and dark circles.

It looked like he hadn't eaten, drank, or slept for several days, so Yang Yichen went up and asked, "Hello, are you Uncle Li Jiang?"

Li Jiang nodded, and Yang Yichen asked again: "Can you tell me about the process of losing your child?"

Li Jiang heard Yang Yichen mention that the child actually picked up and grabbed Yang Yichen's shoulder and shouted, "Who are you? Do you know where my daughter went? Did you steal it?"

Yang Yichen couldn't break free for a while, and then a woman came out of the house and said, "They seem to be from the City Lord's Mansion to investigate!"

Li Jiang let go of his grip on Yang Yichen's hand when he heard her say this, and said, "I'm sorry, I'm too anxious." ”

After saying that, he walked outside, Xiao Yao saw that the woman was also yellow and thin, and she also had the cultivation in the early stage of foundation building, but what could be done with these two monks whose strength was still passable.

Dongfang Bai said directly: "What were you doing when your child was lost?"

The woman replied: "At that time, I was cleaning up the bed and preparing to sleep, and the owner of the house also told me how the harvest of the past few days was, and Xiao Yan was playing outside at that time, and then the head of the house said that after feeling the fluctuation of the aura, we went out to see that Xiao Yan was gone." ”

The woman was already crying as she spoke.

Xiao Yao asked, "Then didn't you notice anything wrong?"

The woman thought for a moment and replied, "By the way, Xiao Yan told me a few days ago that she saw a few dark shadows, and now that I think about it, this may be the method used by the murderer, why didn't I find out before?"

Xiao Yao comforted me a few more words, and the woman walked out of Li's house

Xiao Yao took Yang Yichen and Dongfang Bai to find a few more families who lost their children and asked, I don't know if it was Xiao Yao's bad attitude, or the reason why the family members who lost the children were very irritable, anyway, Xiao Yao and they were beaten out every time.

In the end, Xiao Yao took Yang Yichen and Dongfang Bai to the City Lord's Mansion, although they didn't go in, Xiao Yao looked outside for a while and then went back.

Yang Yichen asked Xiao Yao curiously, "Big brother, how is your investigation?"

Now Xiao Yao has narrowed his eyes, and the child's innocent spirituality in his eyes has been reduced by half, revealing a lot of coldness.

Xiao Yao lit a cigarette for himself, took a puff, and said slowly: "I already know who the murderer is." ”

Dongfang Bai hurriedly asked, "Who is it?"

Xiao Yao took another puff of his cigarette: "The one who captured the child was the city lord Qian Jiangnan." ”

"What, big brother, did you think wrong, how could this city lord of Sunset City do such a thing?"

Xiao Yao smiled: "How is it impossible? Several families we visited all said the same thing, they said that a few days before the child disappeared, they all said that they saw a few black shadows, which means that this is a person or a gang, combined with what the store owner said before, at the beginning, it was just some small families and children disappeared, but after a few days, even some children from large families began to disappear, which means that the murderer knows the population distribution and strength of this sunset city very well. ”

Yang Yichen interrupted Xiao Yao: "But even if the eldest brother is an outsider, he can know as long as he investigates, right?"

Xiao Yao continued: "Yes, this is not the most effective evidence, but at the beginning, this case was directly taken over by the people from the City Lord's Mansion, remember? ”

This time, Dongfang Bai interjected: "But this doesn't mean that this is what the people from the City Lord's Mansion did?"

Xiao Yao looked impatient: "Yes, but have you ever wondered why they have investigated for so long without a single clue?"

This time, Yang Yichen and Dongfang Bai didn't speak, Xiao Yao continued: "They were afraid that someone would find any clues from the beginning, even the ancient gods in this world would be difficult to do this kind of thing, but the murderer actually did it, that is to say, someone is deliberately hiding clues or cleaning up the mess for the prisoner." ”

Xiao Yao said that the cigarette in his hand had been smoked, and he lit another one, and then said: "Actually, this doesn't mean anything, what I noticed the most is that the people in the City Lord's Mansion have always been able to catch human traffickers recently, this matter makes me very puzzled, they first pushed the suspicion on the human traffickers, and then wantonly arrested people, even human traffickers have a lot of intelligence networks, they should know that this Sunset City is cracking down on recently, why are they still arrested again and again?"

Yang Yichen also seemed to think of something and asked, "Then big brother, this may also be done by some evil magicians?"

Xiao Yao gave him a blank look: "I said it once or twice, and it makes sense, why does the evil magician always succeed? Even if he is in the City Lord's Mansion, someone can't always come to investigate the scene, right?"

Yang Yichen thought about it, and what Xiao Yao said was right.

Xiao Yao continued: "Actually, it's very simple, they took advantage of the victim's anxiety because of the loss of the child, and they went in to clean up the clues about where they left before." In the end, what I care about the most is that those human traffickers are quickly released every time they are caught, what can they give a city lord to let a Jindan Dzogchen monk let them go again and again?

Dongfang Bai said: "Why did they ransom the city lord's child?"

Xiao Yao glanced at him disdainfully: "Are you stupid! Of course they are not redeeming, they are trading, they give money to the city lord's children, the city lord gives them money, and if I am not mistaken, they must have hooked up a long time ago, but I don't know who couldn't help but attack the children in the city, so the city lord thought of such a way." ”

Xiao Yao skimmed off the cigarette butt in his hand and made a final summary statement: "All in all, and in short, all this is a case made by the city lord of this sunset city, but if you want to say that there is an evil magician here, it is the city lord, just now I was wandering outside the city lord's mansion and found bursts of yin qi gushing out of the city lord's mansion, so I am sure that this city lord is not simple." ”

Dongfang Bai asked again: "Then what will the city do with these children in the end?"

Yang Yichen also asked, "Yes, yes, is he raised as a granddaughter?"

Xiao Yao really didn't want to pay attention to these two idiots: "Is it good for you two to use your brains, they are all girls, what else is there with the addition of evil magicians? Of course, the women who have picked yin and supplemented yang and the yuan yin has not been broken are excellent, but the better ones are only children who are under the age of ten, their yuan yin is not broken and there are still some life force left when they were born." ”

Yang Yichen and Dongfang Bai's faces sank when they heard Xiao Yao say this: "I didn't expect them to do such a thing, big brother, or we will teach them a lesson tonight!"

Xiao Yao's face was calm: "Let's go back and think about it in the long run." ”

And in an uninhabited alley in this Sunset City, Lan Xuexi looked at Xia Motong in surprise: "Motong, do you know what you said just now?"

Xia Motong nodded calmly: "I know, what I said is based on evidence." ”

Xia Motong looked down at the several city lords who had fallen to the ground and were already dead, and said, Now the aura on Xia Motong's body is the cultivation of the Great Perfection of Foundation Building.

Just now, Xia Motong said the same reasoning as Xiao Yao, and it was still the kind of punctuation that was not bad.

Lan Xuexi asked, "What! Just the people we asked before?"

Xia Motong and Lan Xuexi, like Xiao Yao, also asked some families who lost their children today, just now Xia Motong felt that someone was following her, and she led them here and killed them directly.

Xia Motong said calmly: "Actually, I read their memories before they died, and found that although the human traffickers who were arrested these few times had changed their clothes, they were simply a group of people in some small actions and habits, so I came to the conclusion just now." ”

Lan Xuexi asked again, "Then what are the children doing in the city here?"

Xia Motong shook his head: "I don't know, let's go and see it tonight." ”

And Xiao Yao's side, from coming back to discuss it to the present, came to a conclusion that it is better to start early.

Because today Xiao Yao and the others pretended to be from the City Lord's Mansion to investigate, and it was already suspected, if they dragged it on, when the City Lord found out and found them, they wouldn't know who taught whom.

Xiao Yao and the others made up their minds, so they went to forget their hearts and fasted again, ordered a table of good dishes, and they started eating without asking for wine.

They wanted to eat here until the evening and go directly to the City Lord's Mansion, and the shopkeeper came over to ask them how they were investigating today?

Xiao Yao said directly: "You just wait to see the results tomorrow, right?"

Xiao Yao's words made the shopkeeper confused at all, but he still said that as long as Xiao Yao and they could find out the murderer who stole the child, the food they ate here would be free of charge, and they would be free of charge in the future.

Xiao Yao and the others laughed when they heard the shopkeeper say this, if the shopkeeper knew what Xiao Yao and they were going to do tonight, he would definitely not say that.
