Soon, Xuan Donglai and Lan Wangji arrived at the scene in person.

Also with him was the head of the town, He Songyi, and Liu Duan, the commander of the guards of Baishui Town.

To Wang Mu's surprise, this commander of the Baishui Town Guards turned out to be Liu Yao's father.

Of course, this is what Zhao Kun told Wang Mu.

"Senior Lan, my lord," Liu Yao clenched his fists in surprise and said to the three of them, "I don't know what the four adults are doing here?" ”

This is nothing more than an ordinary homicide.

While it is possible that monks are involved, the patrol team is a team of professionals who deal with such matters.

Why not alarm the director of the Patrol and Capture Division, and lead the three supreme commanders of Whitewater Town with the town guard and the escort army?

Liu Duan, the commander of the guards, and He Songyi, the head of the town, almost glanced at Wang Mu vaguely, and then Xuan Donglai spoke: "You don't have to worry about this case, clean up the scene and collect the corpse." ”

"My lord, this-" Liu Yao's face was full of doubts, and when he was about to continue asking, he heard Xuan Dong say: "This person is a disciple of the Fog Sect, just do it." ”

"Yes!" This time, Liu Yao didn't continue to ask, nodded and ordered his subordinates to start cleaning the scene.

Since Xuan Donglai knew the identity of the deceased, there was no need to investigate this case.

It must have been done by some master in Whitewater.

Although I was curious about which master did it, I was able to kill a Fog Sect disciple in broad daylight without realizing it.

But he still knows the rules.

After beckoning Wang Mu and the others to clean up the place, they led the team to wait aside, and at the same time beckoned the officials of the town to send away the people who were watching the play around them.

The body was put into a stone jar and carried away by several ordinary officials.

During this period, Wang Shi came late in a white wolf suit.

After sneaking to the back of the team and saying hello to Wang Mu, he stuck out his tongue: "I finally rested for two days, and I encountered a big case, which is really unlucky." ”

Wang Mu gave him a look, and Wang Shi saw a few big people in Baishui Town standing in the alley.

"What's going on?"

Wang Mu shook his head: "A Fog Sect disciple has died, and it seems that the above intends to investigate." ”

Lan Wangji glanced at Xuan Donglai: "Master Xuan, what should we do next?" ”

Xuan Donglai chuckled: "Just look at it." ”

Liu Duan, the commander of the guard army on the side, suddenly smiled and said to Lan Wangji: "Director Xuan's soul-chasing technique has achieved quite a lot, even among the patrol divisions of Qingshan City. ”

Lan Wangji pursed his lips and said disdainfully: "Then I'm going to open my eyes." ”

He Songyi and Liu Duan on the side looked at each other and smiled, shaking their heads.

The people of the Four Great Immortal Sects have always been a little contemptuous of the patrol division of the Zhao State.

Xuan Donglai ignored Lan Wangji's disdain, but squatted at the place where the corpse had fallen, his fingers tapped the ground, and then a flash of light flashed in his eyes.

"Follow me."

With that, he turned around and walked out of the alley, and everyone hurriedly followed, and the people of the A-shaped patrol team also followed closely behind several adults.

When they saw that Xuan Donglai was about to perform the soul chasing technique, everyone in the patrol team became excited.

Wang Mu asked curiously, "Is this technique very powerful?" ”

Wang Shi nodded and said, "That's for sure." ”

Liu Yao, who was on the side, also said in a low voice: "This soul chasing technique is a low-grade spell majored by the high-level personnel of the Patrol Division, and it is also the most important spell. ”

"It can restore and trace any traces left on the scene, and only the senior personnel of the Patrol Division are qualified to contact and learn."

"Master Xuan started from the grassroots level, and later became the director."

"When he was a patrol envoy in Tianyin Mansion back then, the cases he solved and the records of the Wu Sect disciples who were arrested and killed were cases that all the patrol divisions of the entire Tianyin Mansion had to learn together."

Wang Shi nodded excitedly.

"Such a cow!"

Wang Mu suddenly stared at Xuan Donglai with a curious expression.

However, he still asked with some doubts: "Why can such a powerful technique only be learned by high-level personnel?" ”

"If it's popular, isn't it possible for everyone in the Patrol Division to track down the enemy?"

Liu Yao glanced at him and said with a wry smile: "Do you think the people above don't know?" ”

"However, this spell requires extremely high physical fitness, and under normal circumstances, only the physical fitness of the foundation building monk can meet the basic requirements for learning this spell."

"Therefore, in order to avoid the low-level personnel from wasting a lot of time doing this impossible thing, this rule was set."

"Of course, if you are very confident in your physical fitness, or if you have already reached the Great Perfection of Qi Refining, you can apply to learn this spell."

"After passing the basic test, you can learn for free."

"However, no one in the entire Whitewater Patrol Division will waste their precious time on this."

Wang Mu nodded, it turned out that was the case, and then he asked, "Then what is a patrol envoy?" ”

"The patrol envoy is an official position, and our Baishui patrol department is too small, so there is no patrol envoy."

"In Qingshan City, which is a little bigger, and even Tianyin Mansion, among the patrol divisions, the one above the patrol team is the patrol envoy."

"They are often in charge of investigating major cases related to the monks, as well as overseeing five to ten patrol teams."

"Like our Qingshan City, there are two patrol envoys managing a total of ten patrol teams."

Wang Mu nodded again, he had been in the patrol team for too short a time, and he didn't know a lot of things.

It's just that what makes Wang Mu curious.

Xuan Dong was already a patrol envoy of Tianyin Mansion before he came, so why did he go to this remote and small place in Baishui Town to be the director of the patrol department?

People always go to high places, and water flows to low places.

I've never seen anyone go down.

Did Xuan Donglai offend some big shot?

But with his background, from the Qingquan Sect, who would dare to trouble him?

Or does he have something else to ask for, such as being tired of the strife in the big city and wanting to cultivate quietly here?

Just when Wang Mu was brainstorming in his mind.

A group of people followed Xuan Donglai out of the alley and walked past the place where the beggar and Wang Mu met just now.

In the end, he walked out of Tianyuan Street again, and walked around the streets and alleys north of Baishui Town, sometimes even as if he was going in circles.

About half an hour or so passed.

Finally, the group came to a very ordinary mansion.

This place is already located in the western suburbs of Baishui Town, and the straight-line distance from the crime scene has already exceeded ten miles.

And in this process, everyone who followed behind Xuan Donglai did not show the slightest impatience, including Lan Wangji, they were just curious.

Until you come to this mansion.

Xuan Donglai stopped: "Come out of here." ”

After speaking, he carefully looked at the house.

The courtyard of this house is magnificent, the vermilion doorpost is thick like a needle of the sea god, and the heavy vermilion gate is one zhang high.

The outer wall of the courtyard stands tall and stretches out to both sides, I don't know how long.

At first glance, it is not an ordinary family.

It's just that Lan Wangji, who was originally a little hanging, put away his casual look after seeing this mansion, and looked at the mansion in front of him with some vigilance.

"What is this place?"

Lan Wangji looked at the courtyard gate in front of him, which didn't even have a plaque to hang, and asked.

can afford to live in such a yard, in Whitewater Town, only big families can.

But if it is such a family, it is often a plaque hanging on the main entrance.

For example, "Wang Family", "Li Family", and "Liu Family".

But there was nothing here, not even a doorman.

This is a bit of an anomaly.

Hearing Lan Wangji's inquiry, Xuan Donglai also frowned.

He didn't even have any impression of it.

At this moment, Liu Yao spoke: "Back to the seniors, this is where a mortal family in Baishui is located. ”

"It seems to be a family surnamed Zhou, and the family industry seems to be not small."

"And this house was built by them the year before last."

"After buying it, it was left here and no one lived here, and it seems that only a few servants lived here, but a lot of taxes were paid to the town every year."

Hearing him say this, the head of the town, He Songyi, suddenly realized: "It turned out to be the Zhou family!" ”

"Liu Yao is right, I remembered it when I talked about it, this house has indeed been idle since I bought it that year, how can I be old, is there a problem here?"

Xuan Donglai chuckled: "Is there a problem, just go in and see?" ”

As he spoke, he stepped forward and pushed the vermilion gate open.

With a cold breath blowing in the face, the scene inside the gate was directly displayed in front of everyone.

The faces of everyone present changed.

Everyone in the A-word patrol team, including Wang Mu, subconsciously pulled out their weapons, and their spiritual power surged.

Behind the gate, there is a very tall stone wall carved with flowers, grasses, fish and insects.

But the stone wall, which was supposed to be gray, was now sprinkled with blood.

There are even a lot of bloody handprints visible to the naked eye.

The dazzling bright red makes what should have been a natural and harmonious picture of flowers and birds become a little hideous and terrifying!

But that's not what makes people look different.

Under the stone wall.

A figure was sitting slumped.

It was a man with black hair in dishevel.

Both legs were cut off.

The skin turned a very strange grayish white.

Leaning on his back against the wall, his expression distorted.

His hands were contorted and raised in the air, as if he wanted to grasp something.

Silent.

The group was silent.

Xuan Donglai waved his hand, and Liu Yao immediately understood what he meant.

"Spread out to check the front yard!! Don't let go of a corner, and don't trespass when you encounter an uncertain place! ”

The crowd scattered in all directions, and crossed the wall into the front yard.

Crossed the wall of the photo.

The scene of the courtyard was imprinted into everyone's eyes.

I saw that the entire courtyard was supposed to be lush and clean.

Now it's full of deciduous yellow grass.

Apparently no one has cleaned it for a long time.

The size of the front yard was also beyond everyone's expectations, with a semicircular courtyard in the middle as the center, and more than a dozen rooms lined up in several directions.

This structure, how strange it looks.

It's not like the courtyard of a big family.

It's like a dormitory.

"Separate inspections." Liu Yao took the lead and walked towards the row of houses to the west.

Wang Mu was about to enter a certain room in the east alone, but he heard Liu Yao suddenly speak.

"Wang Mu, you and Wang Shi walked together."

Wang Mu could only obey orders.

Wang Shi leaned over and smiled at him: "Presumably, Team Liu gave this order because I was afraid that you didn't know much about the search and missed any details." ”

"I'll study hard." Wang Mu made a gesture of invitation to Wang Shi.

The two brothers chuckled and entered the house one after the other.

After a stick of incense, the A-shaped patrol team gathered in front of the wall.

"Back to my lord, there is no one, there is no one in the entire front yard, and there is no special discovery."

"There's just one corpse in the whole front yard."

"All the rooms were empty, as if they had been cleaned, or no one had lived in them at all."

"There is no trace of a servant."

Liu Yao summarized the information reported by the team members and said to Xuandong.

Xuan Donglai nodded when he heard this, observed in the courtyard, walked back to the wall and said to the corpse, "Autopsy." ”

"Yes." Liu Yao hugged his fists.

Then, at the signal of one of his eyes, White walked out of the queue to the corpse, and as usual, cleaned the deceased's face and cut off his coat.

But at this moment, he was stunned.

"It's-"

"What's wrong?" Liu Yao, who was standing beside him, was surprised.

The rest of the people were also curious.

A trace of paleness flashed on Bai Fang's face, and he got up and said to Xuan Donglai: "My lord, I know this person!" ”

"What?!" Liu Yao was taken aback when he heard this.

Xuan Donglai also seemed a little surprised.

"Who is this man?" He asked.

White Fang clasped his fists and said, "Lord Hui, this person is ...... It is Chen Yi, a Qi refining cultivator of the Baishui Chen family, and a talented child of the younger generation of the Chen family. ”

"In the early years, we met on a mission, but then we heard that he went to Qingshan City, so there was no news."

"The White Water Chen family?"

Hearing Bai Fang's words, Wang Mu was the first to frown, it was the Chen family again!

And Liu Yao was the same, he immediately said: "My lord, the trick that Wang Mu subdued on Peach Blossom Street last time was a disciple of the Chen family in Baishui!" ”

Xuan Donglai turned his head and glanced at He Songyi, the two exchanged glances, and He Songyi spoke: "Continue the autopsy to find out the cause of death." ”

"Yes." White then crouched down again.

And this time, he didn't pause.

It wasn't until the entire corpse was examined that he wiped his hands clean and got up and said, "My lord, Chen Yi's time of death was in the night three days ago, and the cause of death was...... Died of blood loss. ”

"His killer did not kill him directly, but cut off his legs, picked off his tendons, and cut an artery in his neck to make him bleed to death."

"At the same time, his dantian was forcibly destroyed, and the meridians of his whole body were twisted and broken, and on the whole, it can be said that he was tortured to death."

"Judging by the wounds, the murderer should have used a short sword."

"Cultivation is at least in the late stage of Qi refining."

Bai Fang's face was a little ugly and said: "My lord, Chen Yi, I understand, this person has been vicious since he was a child, and he is kind-hearted, and he will never be in the same league with the people of the Mist Sect. ”

"Besides, his parents died at the hands of the Fog Cultists, and since the day I became acquainted with him, I knew the deep hatred and blood hatred he carried."

"And why is he here?" Tsuru Songyi asked with a frown.

White shook his head, indicating that he didn't know.

At this moment, Xuan Donglai suddenly said: "Okay, there is nothing for you here, Liu Yao, lead the team to guard outside the courtyard." ”

"Yes." Although Liu Yao didn't know what Xuan Donglai was going to do, he still obeyed the order and waved his hand to lead the team outside.

Just when Wang Mu was also about to go out with everyone, Xuan Donglai suddenly said, "Wang Mu, you stay." ”

Wang Mu was a little surprised, but he guessed some reasons.

In the surprised eyes of the others, Wang Mu stayed in the courtyard.

After the A-word patrol team went out, only Xuan Donglai and other four foundation building bosses and Wang Mu, a rookie of qi refining, were left in the courtyard.

"Wang Mu, what about the weapon of the man you killed?"

Xuan Donglai came to the head directly.

Wang Mu was stunned for a moment, looked at Lan Wangji, and only then did he understand when he nodded, it turned out that everyone knew about it.

So he didn't hide it anymore, turned over his hand and took out a short sword from the mustard seed bag on his waist and handed it to Xuan Donglai.

Seeing Wang Mu take out the short sword, Liu Duan and He Songyi both raised their eyebrows and looked at him again.

Although I heard Lan Wangji say it before.

But now when they saw that the evidence was in front of them, they couldn't help but feel a twitch in their hearts.

The fifth layer of Qi refining single-handedly killed a Fog Cultist in the face of a sneak attack......

This strength is simply perverted.

"Tell me about that person's cultivation strength."

Xuan Donglai squatted down, leaned over to Chen Yi's corpse, and said to this Wang Mu at the same time.

"Nine layers of qi refining." After a moment's hesitation, Wang Mu told the truth, and then added a description of the details he had observed during the battle, including the person's dress.

Liu Duan and He Songyi, who were standing on the side, felt more and more frightened the more they listened, and their eyes at Wang Mu became more and more admiring.

"Where's the mustard seed bag?" Xuan Donglai turned his head to look at Wang Mu.

Wang Mu didn't hesitate, took out the mustard seed bag of the Fog Sect disciple from his belt and handed it to Xuan Donglai: "I haven't checked it since I got it." ”

Xuan Donglai nodded, and as soon as the spiritual power in his hand was slightly injected, all the things in the mustard seed bag appeared on the ground.

Lan Wangji and the three of them no longer held the shelf at this time, but squatted down and leaned over to look at the things on the ground.

Wang Mu also looked at it curiously.

There are four items scattered on the ground at the moment.

A bag of spirit stones.

Five porcelain bottles containing pills.

A palm-sized shard like human skin.

A gray stone.

Xuan Donglai didn't touch other items, but directly picked up the flesh skin on the ground.

"This is a human skin, it should be Chen Yi's, he does have such a wound on his body." Xuan Donglai said with a gloomy face.

Lan Wangji suddenly frowned: "What did this murderer do when he cut off his human skin?" Booty? ”

Xuan Donglai shook his head, and silently recited a mantra in his mouth, and with a burst of aura fluctuations, a pattern slowly appeared on the person's skin.

A complex web.

The moment they saw this pattern, He Songyi and Liu Duan on the side suddenly exclaimed, and Lan Wangji's face sank!

"Dark Patrol !!"

Wang Mu suddenly looked at the three people whose faces changed drastically with a curious expression: "What is the Secret Patrol Envoy?" ”

However, Lan Wangji was silent at this time, and turned his head to look at Xuan Donglai.

Xuan Donglai put away the rest of the items again and shook the human skin casually.

The human skin burned and disappeared.

"The Secret Patrol Envoy is a special member of the Patrol Division who is responsible for secretly infiltrating enemy forces, with varying strengths, but they are all monks with strong wills and special abilities."

Wang Mu thought about it for a while, and then he understood.

Isn't this an undercover agent?!

This Chen Yi turned out to be an undercover agent sent to the Fog Sect by the Patrol Division!

Looking at this scene, it is clear that he has been identified and killed.

And that murderer was the Fog Sect disciple who was killed by Wang Mu!
