Chapter 56: Unlicensed Houses
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 who were not right in Jiazi 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.
