Chapter 20: Arrest the Murderer
"Hurry, this way!" came the voice of the guard in the distance, and he could already hear the approaching steps.
"Damn!" the black robe scolded angrily, and hurriedly fled, a ghostly light flashed around him, and his hidden figure disappeared.
Not long after the black robe left, a team of mansions came to the alley, which was in a mess, the walls collapsed, the ground was broken, and it was all potholes. There was a thick blood in the alley, and there was a half-cut corpse lying at the exit.
"It's late. The team leader muttered and looked at the others, "Zhuo Yi, send four people to surround the scene, and the rest of the people, search carefully, don't let go of any clues, notify the other teams to come over, confirm the identity of the victim, and send the body to the morgue and wait for the medicine person to dissect." ”
The team members listened carefully to the task arranged by the captain, and they didn't notice that half of the corpse not far away seemed to tremble.
After assigning the task, the ten people scattered to carry out their own tasks.
Two of the guards walked towards the corpse, chatting as they went.
"How many are you doing in recent times?"
"There are more than a dozen, but this is the only one that still has some flesh and blood, maybe there can be some clues after the dissection study. ”
"Also, at least you can know how the previous ones disappeared. It seems that this corpse is still very important. It's just a little miserable, half of the body is gone. ”
"Not really, but fortunately, there is still half of it, and we can study it more. ”
Dark clouds obscured the moon and the trembling corpses on the ground.
"Bang!" an arrow struck and struck into the crevice in the stone next to the corpse, splashing a lot of debris.
"Who!" "Over there!"
The captain took off and chased after the dark shadow of the eaves in the distance. Seeing this, the black shadow hurriedly fled.
"Whew, I'm scared to death, that arrow was missed, and if it hits me, I'm probably not dead or half-crippled. ”
"It's just, out of nowhere...... Huh, what about corpses?"
The two of them made a false alarm, turned around and prepared to move the body. But the body was gone.
"I didn't see it. ”
"I didn't see it either!"
"Zhuo Yi's team, the body is gone!" the two hurriedly ran over to report the situation.
When the teams converged, several captains were furious, and the captains who had returned from chasing the archers were also annoyed, blaming themselves for not investigating properly.
That corpse may be hiding a murderer!
Several squads left twenty people, and the rest spread out to search, not letting go of anything suspicious, and those who searched for anything they saw had to stab twice with their swords.
......
A manure dump in a slum
Several of the guards stirred around the dung pit with their swords, and their faces were not very good, and they had been stirring here for half an hour to make sure there was no problem.
"Let's go, it's been half an hour, and we're all about to play with our feelings!" one of them complained.
"I don't know who came up with it, so we've been here for so long!"
"It's not Zhao Laosi! This person is purely disgusting us. ”
"Okay, okay, let's take a look, let's go if it's okay. ”
"Okay. ”
Another quarter of an hour later, a few "booms" came from a distance, and several people left scolding, rushing towards the sound, and by the way, they were ready to settle accounts with Zhao Laosi.
Not long after they left
A figure and half a corpse crawled out of the pile. This is the same archer and half corpse that fled.
With a "poof", the body was torn open from the inside by a pair of hands.
"Ha~ suffocated, huh~ almost exposed. These people are all perverts! Fortunately, they were finally led away by a hero. The figure that crawled out of the corpse with great difficulty turned a little pale.
"It's a pity that this dough doesn't work. As he spoke, he pulled his hand his face, and a piece of human skin fell off, revealing a somewhat fat figure, if Rong Qingbai and the others were here, they would recognize each other, this was the "guide".
"Nuyi, do you say that there is something wrong with these people! I wanted to pretend to be a corpse to escape, but the other party directly wanted to slice me, and I almost fainted in fright! Is this what people do!" The fat figure kept complaining.
The slave didn't speak, he knew that the actions of the person in front of him were much more cruel than what he said, but he wouldn't refute anything, just listen to him quietly.
"Okay, alas, you occasionally face me, it's not interesting to talk alone. The fat figure seemed to be resting, got up and said, "Let's go, there will be people here in a short time." Alas, the blood on the body can't be removed for a short time, it's very annoying!"
Leaving the slum, one kept complaining, the other followed silently, and the two gradually disappeared into the night.
......
Deep in the dungeon
Guo Qiuran looked at the middle-aged man in front of him with a withered face and lack of energy, and was silent for a long time.
The man seemed to feel something, and when he opened his eyes, the dim dungeon made him unable to see the other party's face clearly: "You are here." ”
The voice was a little hoarse and dry.
Seeing that the other party did not speak, he swallowed his saliva and continued to ask, "Is General Zhou back?" or are the other generals back?"
Finally, the other party still spoke: "It's General Zhou who is back." ”
"Think about it, among us people, he is the most afraid, after all, he is still young, he is a genius, a genius, and he is not willing to be subordinated. ”
The boy did not reply.
"You came to see me today, are you finally planning to join the Evil Sect, or do you want to use them?"
"What about taking refuge, and how about using it?"
"The evil sect is an evil sect after all, you ....."
"Okay, now you're starting to educate me? In my eyes, you're no better than those people. Isn't it your own fault that you have ended up like this now?" the young man showed a sneer, and his eyes were cold.
Seeing the miserable and depressed man who was silent, the young man was not so angry in his heart, but said flatly: "The teacher was released by me, the Wang family has been destroyed, and Wang Cheng was crucified at home." In a few days, I'll take you out to see, and after spending so long in prison, you probably want to go out and have a look. ”
With that, he turned and left.
The man lying in the dungeon was shaken, and crawled to the cell door with difficulty, he looked at the young man in the distance, and in his eyes the other party was like a pool of burning stagnant water, and the feeling of suffocation rushed towards him.
He collapsed in despair, muttering, "It's wrong after all." ”
He is not a genius, and it took a lot of effort to climb to the position of this city lord.
Thinking that in order to be promoted to the Nine Heavens, the demon was stunned and did something that was intolerable to heaven. Now that his cultivation has been sealed, he has fallen into the cultivation furnace of others, and his realm has fallen a lot. Is this retribution?
Unconsciously power and immortality made him lose himself.
He knew that when he went out, it was when he died. He knew his son so well that he guarded against him and manipulated him every day.
"Heavenly Master, Heavenly Master, do you really think that you can escape without dying? Do you really not understand your students? Or do you deceive yourself?"
A long sigh came from the depths of the prison.
......
meanwhile
A figure climbed the restaurant, and with a wave of aura, he gently opened the window and climbed in.
"Ahem~" A mouthful of blood was forcibly swallowed back by him, and the black robe could finally take a breath.
At this time, the formation around him flickered, and the frequency became faster and faster, I was afraid that he would not be able to hold on for too long.
The nearby soldiers and government guards are also investigating one by one, which has caused dissatisfaction among many residents, but they have expressed their cooperation when they heard that it is the murderer who has arrested the missing case.
He still underestimated the ruthlessness of his student, he had already escaped before, and the squad leader behind him also returned, just as he relaxed, his formation began to shatter one rune after another, and the aura in his body began to collapse from the pipa bone.
He knew that he had been put on a position by his own students, and now his strength was barely building a foundation, and the rest formation was also on the verge of collapse, and he had encountered a squad of soldiers before, detonating some formations, and when he was wounded, he finally escaped.
This made him a little desperate.
The self-defense attack array is a little damaged, it can only detonate and retreat the enemy, and the rest array around him is also on the verge of collapse, and no one in this world can probably know their own formation layout except for their own students.
Now I don't dare to use other formations, I am afraid that I can harm myself. His own students said that they had left a glimmer of immortal life, but it was only a glimmer of life.
The black robe did not give up, meditating and resting, while thinking about all kinds of things.
He was very puzzled, why did Shaocheng mainly expose himself, the person behind the disappearance case, could it be that the young city lord knew? And he always felt that that person was somewhat familiar.
"Knock Knock"
"Open the door of the shopkeeper! Routine, open the door for inspection!"
"It's coming, Master Jun, don't knock!"
......
Alas, I have to run away again, the city can't get out, I don't know where to hide, I hope the Gathering Array can hold on a little longer.
The black robe always felt that something bad would happen once the formation was broken.
Gently push the window open
He rubbed his eyes a little puzzled, was he mistaken?
Isn't that the third lady of the Lin family in Evergreen City?
How could she be here?
The black robe's eyes rolled, and he quietly left the restaurant and followed the little girl, this may be his last chance!
......
Rong Qingbai, who was far away in the inn, frowned, feeling as if there was some big trouble coming, what could it be?
"Is the shopkeeper there?"
"Yes, yes, what's the matter?"
"Routinely hunt down the murderer, I hope the shopkeeper will be convenient. ”
"It's easy to say, please come in the military master. ”
"There's a shopkeeper in Lao. ”
......
Listening to the sound coming from downstairs, Rong Qingbai pondered, as if he had thought of something.
"Big brother, it's a little noisy downstairs, what's going on?" Bai Xiangtian came out of the house, and he was disturbed by the sound downstairs.
"Third brother, you take this sign and go and send those soldiers away. Rong Qingbai took out a jade plaque engraved with the word "green" and handed it to Bai Xiangtian, "If you see your second sister, you can bring her up." If not, you'll be waiting for her below. ”
"Okay, big brother. ”
Bai Xiangtian took the jade plaque and excitedly held it in the palm of his hand, this is the nameplate of the sect, he is also the first time to see it, only the inner disciples have it, and the three words "do not confuse the peak" appeared in his sight, like magic, deeply attracted him.
The young man's desk in the house was full of rubbed scrolls, and his eyes flashed.
......
West City Gate
Zhou Zhengxuan was listening to Lao Liu's report on the city wall.
"General, the gates of the city are occupied by our army, and the walls are garrisoned everywhere. ”
"Well, got it. ”
......
