Chapter 408: Joint Investigation
Feng Ren didn't need to glance at it to know who it was, and he didn't turn around and said in a deep voice: "What's the matter, didn't you wish Liu Jun died before, and you were willing to help again at this time?"
Qin Zi, who had just stepped into the house, was a little unhappy in the face of Feng Ren's rudeness, but he retorted with reluctance: "Who said I wanted to save him? This time, there was no live mouth. According to the information brought back by the disciples who went to check, it was very similar to Liu Jun's previous night. I suspect it must have been the same murderer, or the same group of people. ”
"Whew, it's just in time. In this way, Liu Jun's side can be somewhat slow. But what I still don't understand is why Liu Jun was accused, there must be something strange in this. Feng Ren's expression improved slightly, but the worry between his eyebrows still did not dissipate.
Qin Zi shook his head and said, "I can't think of this either...... What is even more puzzling is that the two women who accused Liu Jun hanged themselves within three days. ”
Feng Ren muttered helplessly: "Death is a small matter, but loss of discipline is a big matter." Damn, in this case, Liu Jun is even more difficult to argue. Forget it, let's go down the mountain, I just hope to find some clues in the last bit of time. ”
Hearing this, Yun Qingkong snorted: "Go down the mountain? We are all under house arrest, and we can't even get out of the mountain gate." ”
Qin Zi immediately coughed and said, "It's okay, I'll go and tell the hall master, I should be able to save some of the situation." ”
"Thank you very much. Feng Ren smiled kindly and watched Qin Zi go away. It wasn't until the slender figure completely disappeared from sight that he slowly spoke: "Yun Qingkong, how much do you think Qin Zi can trust?"
Yun Qingkong shrugged and said, "At this time, you can only trust it very much. ”
"That's right. If she really wanted to stumble on us, there was no reason to make such a big turn. Feng Ren laughed at himself in his heart, now he can even trust Yun Qingkong for the time being, let alone Qin Zi, the senior sister of the Liuyun Palace.
Yun Qingkong immediately got up, looked out of the door and said in a low voice, "I always feel that I have a bad premonition...... This time, just the two of us. If something really happens, it's easier to deal with. ”
After that, he also deliberately warned Yun Ruoshui, who was on his side with an excited face, clearly telling her that it would be a burden if she followed.
And Feng Ren smiled lightly: "Wrong, the poppy will definitely go." Her strength, you can't rest assured?"
Yinyuexin bowed slightly when she heard this, and she didn't say a word. Even if she doesn't mention it, she will keep up.
Yun Qingkong glanced at Yin Yuexin, but didn't say anything.
But another voice came from outside the door: "I'm going too." ”
Feng Ren was slightly shocked when he heard this, and turned his head in surprise: "Shen Yuehan, have you recovered?"
Shen Yuehan, who had changed into a water-green long dress, had faintly recovered her original cold and glamorous temperament, and the fluctuations in her aura had even reached the double level of the realm level. If it weren't for the occasional unnatural flash of sorrow on her face, Feng Ren would probably have thought that Shen Yuehan had encountered not a disaster but an adventure during this time.
Shen Yuehan looked at Feng Ren, and a rare smile appeared on her cold face, as if the white and elegant snow lotus in the extremely cold land was blooming. Not to mention that Feng Ren and Yun Qingkong were a little distracted after seeing it, even Yun Ruoshui and Yinyue Xin's two daughters secretly felt a little ashamed of themselves in their hearts.
"Well, I have recovered, and under the nourishment of Elder Qingtong's elixir, my physique is far better than before, and my strength has also grown. Thank you so much this time. Shen Yuehan smiled again, and for a while, it seemed that the faint chill that lingered around her body also subsided.
However, after Feng Ren came back to his senses, he pretended to be stern and said, "No, you can't follow." Because of my mistake you have already suffered an ordeal that you shouldn't have had, and I will never let it happen again. ”
Shen Yuehan's face suddenly changed slightly, the previous smile dissipated, and a cold filled his eyes: "Don't underestimate me so much, can you?" If I hadn't been seriously injured before, how could I have caught me with those miscellaneous fish alone? Also, I have my freedom, and you have no right to order me. ”
"Well, I hope you don't get into any unnecessary trouble. Feng Ren sighed helplessly, he didn't expect Shen Yuehan to turn his face faster than turning a book, and he lost a little bit for a while, and it was not good to refuse to refute again.
It didn't take long for Qin Zi to be ordered to come back, bringing another piece of news: until the truth was discovered, Liu Jun would only continue to be imprisoned and would not be executed.
In the evening of the same day, a group of two men and three women had already arrived in the town where the incident occurred again, and the sky was still light, the town was already empty, the doors of every house were closed, and all kinds of neighborhood shops were closed early. If it weren't for the faint glimpse of the few lights in many of the houses, Feng Ren would definitely think that this was a dead town.
"Looks like everyone is in danger here. For ordinary residents, such a tragedy is simply not something they can accept. Fortunately, we arrived in time. Qin Zi said softly, and suddenly turned his head to look north, and the two figures on the roof were rapidly approaching. Looking at their clothes, they are the disciples of the Liuyun Palace.
"See Senior Sister. ”
The two of them landed on the street, looking very respectful.
Qin Zi nodded and replied, "Did you find anything unusual, or did you find any clues?"
The two shook their heads a little embarrassed and ashamed, apparently unyielding.
Feng Ren looked like a bystander, raised his hand and rubbed his chin to look at the town, and muttered softly: "If I were the perpetrator, I shouldn't have committed it again in the same place." Rather than searching here and probably not finding any actual clues, you can try your luck in a nearby town. ”
Qin Zi was stunned for a moment, and said suspiciously, "What do you mean?"
Feng Ren pretended to be mysterious: "I thought about it for a long time on the road just now, and I felt that something was not right. In a short period of time, he committed two bloody crimes, and his methods were cruel, and each time he wiped out three families. The only three living mouths for the first time were all women, one went crazy, and two committed suicide. In the second time, only three women were missing from the corpses, and all of them were under 20 years old. I wonder if there is a connection. ”
"What can it do, even if you really want to rob people, there is no need to kill people. Yun Qingkong shook his head.
Suddenly, Feng Ren thought of something and blurted out: "One is crazy, and two are delirious and indiscriminate...... The three women were taken captive...... Shen Yuehan, come here. ”
Shen Yuehan was a little surprised, and wondered, "What's the matter?"
Feng Ren motioned for her to follow her farther away, and hid under an eaves before asking softly, "After you were captured by the Styx Sect, did they use any drugs to confuse your mind, or any other means?"
Shen Yuehan shook his head and said, "I don't have an impression." What do you mean, could it be that these were done by the Underworld Sect?"
"I'm not sure, it's just a guess. Kidnapping the young woman, my first reaction was the Underworld Sect. However, I also asked Poppy before, and she didn't know much about the Underworld Sect, but she told me with certainty that most of what the Underworld Sect did was to resell the population, and the simple killing was very little. So, what I suspect is ......" Wind tenacity wants to talk and stop.
And at this time, Shen Yuehan seemed to have realized something, and said in a low voice: "I remember that after being taken away by the Underworld Sect, I once heard someone whispering in a daze, as if to say...... One of them asked again if he needed special training in medicine, and the other replied that this time the color was very good, and it could be of greater use, and that there was no need for that kind of means. ”
Feng Ren snorted: "In this way, I am a little more sure." Looks like there's another town fifty miles to the northwest, right?"
Shen Yuehan shook his head and said, "I don't know about this." ”
"It's better to take a gamble, it looks like this time we have to go our separate ways. Feng Ren whispered silently, slowly walked back to Yun Qingkong and the others, sighed and said: "Qin Zi, Yun Qingkong, the two of you and these two friends of the Liuyun Palace, you go to the town in the northwest to guard first, focusing on those family courtyards that have become rich in a short period of time. ”
"What about you?" Qin Zi stretched out his hand to stop his two junior disciples from arguing, his expression a little serious.
Feng Ren smiled, "I'll follow." Now, I want to see if I'm right. Shen Yuehan, Poppy, you two come with me. ”
Qin Zi and Yun Qingkong didn't say anything more, they didn't have a clue at the moment, since Feng Ren spoke, it meant that there should be some clues, so they simply listened.
The two sides acted separately, and Feng Ren and the two daughters soon came to one of the destroyed courtyards. The bustling decoration is still the same, but there is no population and a dead silence. On the ground, you can clearly see the dried blood stains, and looking at the humanoid blood stains that are all over the place, you can know what happened if you think about it slightly.
In the air, there were still a few traces of blood that had not dissipated.
Leaning over and pressing his palms to the floor, Feng Ren closed his eyes and meditated quietly, and a few internal forces were slowly injected into the ground. After a few moments, he got up again and sighed, a hint of disappointment in his open eyes.
"No, could it be that I guessed wrong?"
Feng Ren muttered, and continued to move more than ten into the courtyard, and walked into the main hall. Looking at the chaotic hall, I seemed to think of some clues for a while, but that little thought was very vague in my mind, floating uncertainly, and I couldn't grasp it at all.
Yin Yuexin, who followed him into the room, seemed to be aware of it, and took a few steps forward to the hanging painting in front of the main seat in the center, looking at the pattern in the painting and thinking slightly.
Feng Ren looked at it casually and found that it was just a very common peony picture. Peony, the rich and noble of flowers, there are many such pictures in ordinary business families.
However, since Silver Moon Heart is interested in it, it means that there must be something different about this painting. According to Feng Ren's understanding of Yinyuexin, at this time, it is absolutely impossible for her to repeat the ordinary girl's heart when she was shopping, and she must not be interested in the fine depiction of the peony picture.
"Poppy, what did you find?"
Silver Moon Heart pointed to the lower right corner of the peony picture and said, "In the lower right corner of the picture, the black stripes on the petals have a total of thirteen spots, forming an arc of moon. This is one of the symbols of the Oblivion Pavilion, which means that this is one of their eyeliner. ”
And so it was. It seems that my previous guess was correct. Feng Ren smiled inexplicably, and a little coldness swept in his eyes.
