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.

And the size of this front yard is also beyond everyone's expectations, with a semicircular courtyard in the middle as the center, thinking that there are more than a dozen rooms arranged 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!
