Rod looked at the monster minus the distant figure, and said extremely depressedly: "Damn, why does this guy still run so fast despite such a strange running posture?"

"I don't know!" Goode shook his head and said, "Maybe he has very strong leg muscles to run at this speed." ”

Rod said, "Who the hell is this guy?"

"Although he looks like a human being, he may not be of the same kind as us. ”

"It may be human, but it's not the same kind?" Rod wondered, "What do you mean?"

"I don't know what I'm talking about, but my gut tells me that this guy can't be described as a 'human'. ”

These two people are really powerful, although they are running and talking, their pace still does not slow down, but keeps speeding up. They jumped from roof to roof, chasing each other on the roof, and after running like this for about a minute, they came to the foot of the Celestial Star Tower.

"There is a big mountain ahead, where do I see you fleeing?" Goode smiled confidently, because in his opinion, no matter how high the other person jumped, he should not jump over the mountain.

Sure enough, the strange man stopped in front of the mountain.

Goode said, "Did he give up?"

"No!" Rhodes saw the stranger make a squatting gesture, like a spring, and as his feet turned from curved to straight, the stranger jumped up like a cannonball, and the roof where he was standing immediately went down, and there was a puff of smoke, but fortunately it was only a warehouse, and no one lived in it.

But the strange man's leap had brought him halfway up the mountain.

"What!" Goode and Rod couldn't help but be dumbfounded when they saw this. The two of them stopped at the foot of the mountain at the same time, not knowing what to do, because they knew that it was impossible to catch up now.

This is, the strange man made a squat pose halfway up the mountain. And then it leaps upwards like a cannonball. Just as the strange man jumped upward, a fireball appeared in front of his eyes silently, and the strange man wanted to avoid it, but his body was in the air and had no way to borrow his strength.

"Bang!", like fireworks, hit the strange man's body. There was a small explosion, and the strange man immediately fell from a height of 100 meters with all his body weak.

With a "boom", the strange man fell to the ground and shot up a puff of smoke and dust more than ten meters high.

Seeing this, Rod and Goode immediately ran to the place where the stranger fell. At this time, the other soldiers patrolling the city also rushed to the smoke and dust when they saw this, and Chen Fan also slowly descended.

"Boom!" There was a bang from the air, and a red fireball with a radius of three meters hit the strange man's body, and suddenly, the fireball exploded like fireworks, and the strange man dragged the tail formed by the black smoke and fell sharply from a height of 100 meters.

"Bang!" the strange man fell to the ground. Like a fountain, several meters of dust rises into the air with the sound of houses collapsing.

Rode, Goode, Chen Fan, and all the patrolling soldiers immediately rushed to the smoke and dust.

"Everyone do their best to search, the weirdo should be nearby. Also see if there are any injured people, even though this is the warehouse area, it is inevitable that no one will pass by here!"

"Yes!" Because the smoke and dust were too heavy, everyone could not find the specific location of the strange man for a while, so the subordinates under the command of Goode were able to find the strange man, or the body of the strange man. Because in Goode's view, falling from a height of 100 meters. Surely he will die.

Rod said to Chen Fan: "Brother Chen, I was fortunate to have you to help just now. If not, we'll let this weirdo escape. ”

"It's nothing, it's just a trivial matter!" Chen Fan replied coldly: "I believe that this strange person should be related to those forest murders, in order for us to leave here as soon as possible, it is also necessary to assist you in investigating the case." ”

"Anyway, you helped us again, and as the patriarch of the Mengshi clan, I should say 'thank you' to you. ”

At this time, a soldier walked over, bowed slightly to Rhodes and said, "Return to Lord Rhodes, Lord Good, Lord Chen, we have found that monster." ”

"Take us there at once!" Rhodes ordered, and the three of them immediately followed the soldier to the pile of rubble.

In the light of the torches, the strange man, nay, rather a monster, lay on the ground in the shape of a "big" figure.

I saw that it was skinny, and its whole body was covered with not skin at all, but small green fish scales, probably due to the fireball explosion just now, the scales on its chest had been shattered and burned black. Its appearance was even more terrifying, with a head like a seaweed and a head like a dinosaur, a long, large mouth full of fangs, and its eyes closed, probably dead.

"I've never seen this guy before, what the hell is it?" Rhodes said suspiciously, "Could it be the new sea monster?"

Goode replied: "Regardless of what it is, it fell from such a high altitude and was intact, you know that this guy's bones and scales are very hard, and we are not sure whether he is dead or not, so be careful." ”

Rhodes nodded and said to the soldiers, "Tie it up with a thick rope and put it in a prison." ”

"Yes!" the soldiers replied in unison.

At that moment, the monster's eyes suddenly widened, and then it screamed in a strange voice like a child, and then, quickly, rolled over and stood up.

When everyone saw this change, they were all taken aback and retreated.

The monster didn't say a word, bent down and squatted, and immediately made a jumping posture, just when everyone was still at a loss, a black shadow flashed in front of everyone's eyes, and then saw a flash of fire flash twice in front of the monster.

"Ahh

When everyone came back to their senses, they found that the black shadow turned out to be Chen Fan, and the moment everyone was stunned when they saw the monster standing up, Chen Fan pulled out the Xuantian ring ruler and completely cut off the monster's limbs at the speed of lightning, stone and fire, and now Chen Fan has put away the ring ruler in his hand.

Seeing this, everyone had to feel admiration and envy in their hearts, this was not just for Chen Fan's swiftness in drawing his sword. There is also that extraordinary momentary judgment and calmness that is not alarmed.

The monster struggled on the ground, like a fish falling on the ground, constantly jumping its body, and like a snake, constantly moving from side to side. Attempts were made to escape from the crowd, but all this was in vain.

Seeing this, everyone immediately realized that because its limbs were injured by the Xuantian Ring Ruler, the wounds had already been burned into black charcoal due to the high temperature, and there was no need to stop the bleeding. After everyone tied up the monster, under the leadership of Rhodes, Gude and Chen Fan, some soldiers carried it back to the dungeon of the city tower.

After searching by other soldiers, it may be late at night, plus this area is a warehouse area. So there were no casualties as a result of what had just happened, so the soldiers returned to their posts after cleaning up the rubble scattered on the ground, and the tense hunt officially came to an end, and the city returned to the quiet it should have in the middle of the night.

After returning to the city tower, Chen Fan asked Rod and Goode, "What are you going to do with it?"

Rhodes replied, "Since it can speak, we should ask what it is, and if there are any other companions, before making a decision." ”

"Then now that you have caught the murderer in your murder incident!" Chen Fan continued, "Then it proves that Mira Forest should not be in any commotion as you said." Then it's time for me to go to Mira Forest. ”

"Brother Chen is really in such a hurry?" said Rhodes, "Now I only caught one, if there is only one, it is nothing, I am afraid that it may have companions." Besides, there are still some doubts in this case that have not yet been solved, so I think it would be better for Brother Chen to wait for the matter to be cleared up before going to Mira Forest. ”

"I've been here for a long time, and after all, I still have a task ahead of me, and I don't want to drag it out any longer. ”

"But now the matter is just a little bit of an eyebrow, and I believe it will be found out soon. Can you wait a day or two before leaving?" Rod continued to persuade: "Besides, Miss Luo, they haven't made a decision yet, I think it's better to give her some time." ”

"Don't say any more. I already had a rough idea of what the guy had decided, and the murder was only the work of one or two monsters. So there's no need to wait any longer, tomorrow I'll ask her about her decision and leave, that's all. After Chen Fan finished speaking, he took a step forward and walked quickly towards his room.

"Rod!" said Good, who was next to him, "Why do you have to keep him here? If he wants to go, you can't just let him go?"

Rod shook his head and said, "I always feel that this matter is not so simple, my intuition tells me that we need the help of a strong hand like Chen Fan." ”

Puzzled, Goode asked, "Isn't the murderer caught now?" Isn't the case clear? Why do you still say these things?"

"Although the murderer has been caught by us, there are still doubts in this case. ”

"Suspicious?"

"Hmm!" Rhodes nodded and continued, "I think the disappearance of Forest Detection Team 6 has something to do with this matter, but if they were just killed by this monster, it doesn't seem to make sense. ”

"What do you mean by that?"

"Think about it, if the members of Forest Scout Team 6 were really eaten by this monster, then why couldn't they find their corpses?"

"Is their bodies too remote, we haven't found them for the time being, or I will go to the north of the city with my brothers tomorrow to carry out a large-scale search, what do you think?"

"Hmm!" Rod nodded and said, "It's a good job." ”

Following.

Due to the sunlight, Luo Qingyun finally woke up, she turned her head to look at Rose on the side, and found that she was still asleep.

"Knock knock!" At this time, there was a knock at the door, and then, a female voice came in: "Princess Rose, Miss Luo, I will put breakfast outside the door first, you remember to eat it." ”

"Got it. Luo Qingyun replied.

"Is there another thing you don't know?" said the maid outside the door, "I heard that the murderer has been caught by Lord Rhodes. ”

"What!" When the two heard this, they were stunned for a moment, the murderer who happened the day before yesterday can be caught today, and they all feel that Rod's work efficiency is really powerful.

Luo Qingyun said: "Okay, I know, I have you to thank you." ”

"Then the slave is now retired!"

After hearing the footsteps and walking away, Luo Qingyun said to Rose, "Let's finish breakfast quickly, and then go to Rhodes to see the progress of the case." ”

"Good!"

This is the fifth floor of the castle tower, in the patriarch's room. Rhodes was checking the registration form of the family's affairs in the past month, such as the entry and exit of grain, the supply and demand of material materials, and so on. Because the murderer has been caught in the murder, as long as the people from the interrogation department end the interrogation of the monster, everything will be revealed, so now, he finally put down the autopsy report. Returning to the duties of the patriarch.

"Knock knock!" a rhythmic knock sounded from outside the door.

Rhodes asked, "Who is it?"

"Brother, it's me, I'm Rose!"

"And me, Luo Qingyun!"

"Come in, the door is unlocked. ”

The two pushed the door open and walked to Rod's desk. Rhodes said, "Miss Luo, you came just in time, in fact, I also have something to say to you." ”

"What?"

"I think you should know very well!" said Rod lightly, "It's been a day now, and I hope you can give me an answer, do you want to stay here or do you want to leave with your companions?" Your decision will not affect whether Rose will leave you, in fact, I have also talked to Rose, if you really want to leave, I will also secretly assist Rose to leave with you, so all this decision is in your hands. ”

Although Rod said this, and his tone was indifferent, Luo Qingyun could see that his eyes wished he stayed here. However, Luo Qingyun can also understand Rod's feelings. Father and mother are gone, and his only relatives are this sister, if even his favorite sister leaves him. Then he must be very sad.

This is different from Luo Qingyun, who has no relatives, if Luo Qingyun has no relatives, at least he doesn't have any concerns, but Luo Luo originally had relatives, and then left him one after another, although Luo Qingyun couldn't understand this kind of thought. But it's not so pleasant to believe. So when Luo Qingyun heard Rod say "don't think about anything else" or "will secretly assist Rose to leave", Luo Qingyun really felt that this brother was very great.

"Brother!" Rose said again, "We're not here to talk to you about this." We want to know if we really caught the murderer?"

Rhodes replied, "What I can say about this is that we seem to have caught the murderer." ”

"What do you mean by 'as if you've caught the murderer?'" Rose wondered, "Do you want to say that you don't seem to have caught it?"

"Actually, that's true. Last night, with the help of Brother Chen, we did catch a monster, but since we don't know if it has any other accomplices, we still don't know if it was responsible for those killings, so I can only say 'it seems'. ”

"Then brother said it could be innocent?"

"That's not it, it also committed a crime in Star City last night, killing one of the residents of the Star Tower, so it is still guilty and must be executed. ”

"Bang!"

At this moment, the door was suddenly pushed open, and a man walked in angrily.

After a while, Chen Fan rushed in angrily and shouted, "Rod!"

Yue Wuya also followed Chen Fan in.

Chen Fan stopped, looked at Luo Qingyun and said, "Oh, it turns out that you are also here, that's just right!"

"Ah, Chen Fan, it's you, it's early!"

"It's still early?" Chen Fan said, shouting at Luo Qingyun, "You will make a decision for me right now, do you want to stay here or leave here with me?"

"Huh?"

"What, which one to choose?"

"I, I!" Luo Qingyun looked at Chen Fan's angry expression, and didn't know how to answer for a while.

"Yes!" Rod also interjected, "Miss Luo, I also want to know your mind. ”

"Huh?!"

There is really no way to go and there are chasing soldiers, facing Chen Fan and Rod's eyes, Luo Qingyun couldn't get an answer, Luo Qingyun's heart kept shouting, is there a way to have the best of both worlds? Luo Qingyun understands the truth that fish and bear's paws can't have both, but she still wants to find the most suitable solution in the middle of no way.

Luo Qingyun felt very distressed now, she looked at Rose, and then at Yue Wuya, hoping that they could think of some way for themselves, but seeing their eyes expecting her to answer, she knew that she could only rely on herself now.

"What's the matter?" Chen Fan took a step forward, staring at Luo Qingyun without blinking.

Rod also said: "Miss Luo, no matter what your answer is, no one will blame you. ”

Damn, now it's just a duck on the shelf, how do you tell me to choose? On the premise of not hurting anyone's feelings, how do you tell me to choose?

Is there anyone who can save me? Is there anyone who can save me?

"Knock knock!" As if in response to the shout in Luo Qingyun's heart, there was another knock outside the door.

"The savior has arrived?" Luo Qingyun was overjoyed.

Rhodes asked aloud, "Who is it?"

"Back to Lord Rhodes, we are members of the interrogation department, and the interrogation of the monster has already been decided, so we are here to report back to you. ”

"Brother Chen!" Rod said, "Let's deal with Miss Luo's matter later, let's listen to the report first, okay?"

Chen Fan snorted, clasped his hands in front of his chest, and leaned against the wall.

Seeing that Chen Fan agreed, Rod shouted, "Come in." ”

The door was pushed open, and a well-proportioned young man walked in, looking like he might not be a cadre-level person, although it was a bit rude to him, but he looked more like an errand runner.

He walked to the center of the room, bowed to Rhodes and said, "Little Dana, see Lord Rhodes." ”

"Excuse me, you said the interrogation is over, what is the result?"

"Returning to Lord Rhodes, the Coroner's Department conducted an examination of its skin, fur, etc. Dana presented the report to Rod: "I have this report, please look at it." ”

Let me explain here first, in fact, the so-called "interrogation department" is a general term that integrates interrogation, testing, autopsy, inducement, extortion of confessions and other departments, and the coroner's department mentioned above is only one of the interrogation departments, because it is the deceased who is found, so there is no need for interrogation and inducement and other departments to participate in the work, and now it is the living who are arrested, but they have the ability to speak, that is, they have thoughts, so this time the entire interrogation department needs to be dispatched together.

Rod looked at it casually, his face instantly sank, and he let out a surprised voice: "What?" (to be continued)
