Chapter 198: Hideous Corpses
Su Hongxue frowned, looked at the two young men and the bodyguards who were far away, and sighed softly.
Zhou Yan said: "What's wrong?"
Su Hongxue was puzzled: "It's a little weird, why is Gongsun Zhi here." ”
Zhou Yan said: "What? Who is he?"
Su Hongxue said: "The grandson of the Protector of the Kingdom, eighteen years old, broke the third heaven of the robbery, and is almost recognized as the successor of the Protector of the Kingdom. ”
"This young man doesn't seem to have any scheming, but in the place where the fish and dragons are mixed in the Shaking Light Divine Capital, he has never made a mistake, and he is deeply loved by His Majesty the God Emperor. ”
"He is not a swaggering person, it stands to reason that he will not come to Sword City because of the excitement, maybe there are other things. ”
Zhou Yan immediately smelled the smell of conspiracy.
I didn't make a mistake in a place like Shaking Light Shendu, and it was definitely not luck...
If he wants to do something in Sword City, I'm afraid it's really hard to guard, because this kind of person uses his brain to do things, unlike Zhang Lingzhi, a second ancestor idiot.
He was silent for a moment before frowning, "It's best not to conflict with us, I don't want to care about this kind of idle matter." ”
Su Hongxue smiled bitterly: "But he just appeared, which means that he is probably not here to do the family's private affairs, nor will it be a secret mission of the Kingdom of God, otherwise he would not be so high-profile." ”
Zhou Yan said: "A low-key person suddenly raised his profile... Showing his face this time is also part of his plan, and he needs others to know that he is coming. ”
Su Hongxue said: "I can't guess anything now, let's wait and see." ”
"Something's wrong!"
A shout suddenly came, interrupting Zhou Yan's thoughts.
They turned their heads to look behind them, only to see a person running over like crazy, rolling and crawling, and hurriedly said, "A few lords of the Divine Gate, come with me to have a look." ”
Shangguan Zheng glanced at him, frowned, and said, "Catch fast, our work content is different, you are looking for your boss." ”
The man shook his head and said, "The boss is at the scene, it's not an ordinary murder." ”
Zhou Yan and Su Hongxue glanced at each other, and at the same time roared, "Go." ”
"Hey..."
Guo Ningshuang snorted softly, thinking that I was still standing here.
Zhou Yan turned around and winked at her, said hello, and strode forward.
The two walked through only two streets to a luxurious mansion.
There was a cry inside, and when he rushed in, a guard rushed up and was pressed aside by the catcher.
Then he said loudly, "Get out of the way, the Lord of the Divine Gate is here." ”
The weeping men and women in the room hurriedly retreated, and an old man dressed in rich clothes came up and cried bitterly: "Adults, save my son!"
Zhou Yan and the others didn't speak, just looked at the front carefully.
The luxurious and restrained stone floors are tightly seamed, lining the furniture to make it more luxurious, and the interior is very stylish, but it is full of a strong smell of blood.
The body lay in the middle of the room, stripped naked, limbs and head cut off, and the whole body divided into six parts.
The cut surface is extremely smooth, but the ground is not broken in any way, and the power control is excellent, which should be the work of the cultivator.
The scene was bloody, hideous, and full of weirdness, just because the six corpses were arranged in a strange pattern.
The limbs are located on both sides of the torso, like a "north" character, the head stands in the center of the torso, and there is a hole in the center of the eyebrows, and the dried blood and white pulp are mixed together and flow all over the cheeks.
Shangguan Zheng took a deep breath, gritted his teeth and said, "It's so cruel, the sin is unforgivable." ”
Zhou Yan didn't speak, staring at the side of this strange shape, and the blood was also painted like this.
This... It's like some ritual.
I looked for other clues, but there was no trace.
Zhou Yan said: "How did the murderer come in?
The old man cried, "No, in broad daylight, our house is full of guards, but we didn't find out how the murderer got in." ”
Zhou Yan smiled coldly and said, "Even a swordsman in the Champion Realm can't sneak in, even if he kills all these guards with one move, it's impossible to hide from such a tight guard." ”
Speaking of this, he suddenly raised his head and said sharply: "Call all the people in this mansion, including the guards, to the courtyard to see who is missing." ”
The old man said, "My lord, you mean, it is possible that someone from inside did it?"
Zhou Yan said: "Is it someone inside, don't you know if you call it?"
So the old man hurriedly called the people out, and in less than half an hour, they were all gathered in the courtyard.
Maids, maids, servants, guards, and a group of relatives, there were seventy or eighty people.
Zhou Yan glanced at it and said lightly: "Let's see who is missing." ”
The old man said: "I've seen it all, and there is no one missing, all of them are here." ”
Su Hongxue said in a low voice, "Did you notice something?"
Zhou Yan shook his head, and then said: "Even if a martial artist of the Champion Realm travels in the sky, it is impossible to fly through a few courtyards to get here, and no one will notice it, right? ”
And even if he didn't see it, how did the murderer know that at that time, his target was in this position. ”
"In this way, it can only be an inner ghost. ”
Su Hongxue said: "But I looked, there are no cultivators at all, these are all ordinary people." ”
Zhou Yan nodded lightly, frowning and pondering.
If it's not an outsider, it can only be an internal ghost, and it's full of ordinary people...
Can ordinary people cut people like that?
If it's a unique knife or sword, sharp enough to a certain extent, it's okay.
But this doesn't make sense, because the deceased didn't call, which means that the first knife was cut off by the head.
Then when a person falls, an ordinary person swings a sword and slashes his limbs, and it is impossible to perfectly control the force so as not to leave a mark on the floor.
Doubts have arisen on all sides, then... It can only be the last explanation - pollution.
It can also be said to be possession, bewitchment, dreaming, and so on.
Based on the cultivator's ability, give the controlled a certain amount of power...
Zhou Yan raised his head and said sharply: "Find! Rummage through the entire mansion for me, looking for murder weapons, or bloody handkerchiefs." ”
The old man was stunned, and then hurriedly commanded everyone to find it.
Shangguan Zhengdao: "Honest man, you still suspect the inner ghost?"
Zhou Yan took a deep breath and said, "I suspect... It was done by a cultivator of the Dark Ghost Dao, and he bewitched people in the way of dreams. ”
"Dreaming?"
The old man suddenly stepped forward and hurriedly said, "My lord, my son had a strange dream before he died. ”
Zhou Yan's face turned pale and said, "Let's talk about it in detail." ”
The old man said: "For several days before my son died, he said that he had the same dream every night, and he said that there was a bat in the dream, and he was always smiling at him. ”
"For four or five days in a row, it was like this, and I even invited Lang Zhong to come over and see him. ”
Su Hongxue took a deep breath and couldn't help gritting her teeth and said, "There are only two possibilities for this kind of weird dream, either it is a dark ghost disciple or a weird pollution. ”
Zhou Yan said: "There is a difference, the difference is that pollution will always leave traces and will not disappear instantly, and it is not long before the case occurred." ”
Speaking of this, he shook his head slightly and said, "It's not pollution, I didn't notice it." ”
The puppet doll is extremely sensitive to pollution, and if it is not aware of the residual pollution, it can only be a ghost.
Of course, Su Hongxue knew about Zhou Yan's situation, so she immediately said, "If it's a dark ghost disciple, I have a way!"
Zhou Yan suddenly glared.
Su Hongxue took off the brass mirror on her chest and said, "The reason why our Divine Sect can deal with the means of the Dark Dao is thanks to this brass mirror. ”
"When the object of the dream is found, I can retrace the dream!"
