The inn where the eldest grandson and others stayed was called "Zhegui Inn", and looking at the freshness of the gold characters on the plaque, it is estimated that it was also specially changed for this New Era Cup.

However, just looking at the noisy scene of people in the inn, it shows that this trick is working.

The eldest grandson and the others had to go to the two rooms on the third floor, and in the process of going upstairs, there were mostly young talents, and it looked like even if they were not finalists, at least they were players who had participated in the siege and defense of the city.

But compared to the young talents who live in the Inner Servant District and Gangneung District, the players here are a little shabby.

After all, the restaurants in the Inner Servant District and the Jiangling District are either specially designed to receive the pride of heaven on the siege list and the city defense list, or they are chartered by some sects.

The pomp and circumstance of hugging before and after going out is indeed not comparable to these powerless players.

The talent and strength of the eldest grandson can be regarded as the top in the entire New Era Cup, but they are not interested in pomp.

Several people arrived at the room in a low-key manner, and the eldest grandson, as the owner of the house who paid the money, naturally occupied the only bed in the room.

Pingchuan didn't know if it was because he didn't want to take off his hat, or because he knew that he was at a loss, but when he saw this situation, he consciously sat down at the table and prepared to meditate for a night.

Wu Qing looked at the tacit understanding between the two, but there was no flaw, and he didn't give him a chance to peek into his true face.

Wu Qing, who tried to no avail, finally had to sit by the window helplessly and drink tea alone.

In the dead of night, Wu Qing listened to the sound of the two of them breathing for a long time, but he was disturbed by everything that happened today.

Although Wu Qing has a rare talent in the world, everything he learned today has a big impact on him.

In fact, this can't blame Wu Qing's weak endurance, after all, in his cultivation career, most of the time he was on the side that was protected by his master.

The sheer cultivation environment made him never think about the complexity of the world outside his master's sect, let alone the dark side of human nature.

Even in his cognition, when he cashes his talent into strength, he will be greeted by cheers and applause from the entire continent, and he deserves to be the pride of the continent.

It's just that Wu Qing didn't think that the moment he endured the cheers and applause, his fate would also be linked to this continent.

Carrying the mainland forward will be a heavy responsibility that he must shoulder in this life.

And at this time, he realized all this.

Wu Qing looked at the eldest grandson who was sleeping soundly on the bed after being distraught, thinking that all this was caused by this guy.

But it was difficult for him to hate the eldest grandson for the first time, because he knew in his heart that all this was the growth he had to go through to become a strong man, but he didn't know how to face these calmly now.

Just when Wu Qing looked at the eldest grandson on the bed and was distraught, he suddenly found that the eldest grandson was sitting up straight in the dim candlelight.

Wu Qing was stunned for a moment, and before he could open his mouth to ask, he also found a trace of abnormality.

"...... of flesh"

Hirakawa at the table woke up almost at the same time as the eldest grandson.

The three exchanged glances, and without superfluous communication, they understood what each other meant.

I saw the eldest grandson go out of the window directly, and the remaining two people rushed out of the door.

Hirakawa's goal, like the eldest grandson, rushed to a certain room downstairs, while Wu Qing rushed to the counter on the first floor to inform the store.

The first to arrive at the room was Hirakawa.

Hirakawa pushed the door outside the room, and found that the door was locked, so he didn't think much about it, and chose to break the door directly.

Hirakawa rushed into the room, choosing to take a defensive stance first.

Seeing that there was no danger, he let down his guard and looked around the room.

I saw that the room was neatly furnished and intact, and there was no trace of a fight, but the blood in the room was very heavy.

Hirakawa looked inward along the blood qi and saw a man lying on the table, with a pool of blood under him, from which the blood qi came from.

At this moment, the eldest grandson also rushed to the room.

Ping Chuan glanced at the eldest grandson, who had been late, and asked with some confusion, "Why did you arrive?" ”

The eldest grandson first glanced at the corpse on the table, his pupils contracted undetectably, and said, "The windows are locked from the inside......

Pingchuan let out an "oh", not understanding why the eldest grandson didn't break through the window like himself.

But what Pingchuan didn't expect was that after the eldest grandson said this, he turned his head to look at the door damaged by Pingchuan, and said, "We're in trouble......"

After a while, Wu Qing arrived with the store.

At the same time, because of this movement, the surrounding tenants gathered around.

"Dead!"

"Who is so bold as to dare to kill people in the imperial capital!"

The surrounding tenants were talking, and at this time, the store was also stunned by the scene in front of them, and suddenly felt a little at a loss.

After a while, the focus of everyone's discussion gradually shifted to the eldest grandson.

"Who are these young men?"

"yes, how did they get there before we did?"

"Shhhhhh Maybe they're the murderers......"

Gradually, the eyes of the people around them looked at the three eldest grandsons and became vigilant.

Just when the scene was about to be disordered, the arrester of the county government patrol finally rushed over and blocked the scene.

And with the arrival of the county government, the scene of the eldest grandson's investigation was also interrupted.

At the same time, the three of them, who were the first to arrive at the scene, were also controlled as suspects.

However, the arresters of the county government only routinely interrogated the three people, and did not embarrass the three people.

After all, such a murder case is beyond the scope of the county government, and it is to be handed over to Dali Temple to deal with, and they are just going through the motions.

Not long after, the officials of Dali Temple finally came late.

This is not to blame the officials of Dali Temple for being lazy, but it is really because of the recent influx of foreign population in the imperial capital, and these people are uneven, which has caused a surge in the crime rate in the imperial capital recently, and there is a shortage of manpower in all districts and counties, and the officials of Dali Temple have to join the team to maintain the daily security of the imperial capital.

The officials who came from Dali Temple were a team of five people.

In the history of the Tang Dynasty, Dali Temple actually did not have a servant.

Until the Taiyuan period, that is, during the reign of Emperor Shirong, the power of Dali Temple reached an unprecedented height, and even overwhelmed Shangshuling at that time.

It is since then that Dali Temple has a servant, so that Dali Temple not only has the power to judge cases, but also has the force to enforce the law.

This further established the status of Dali Temple as a giant in the court.

Originally, the officials of Dali Temple were the same as the county officials, and they were divided into three classes: the capture class, the inspection class, and the miscellaneous class.

Full-time law enforcement, patrol and other work.

Chaban is unique to Dali Temple, responsible for going out to investigate the case, investigating the crime scene and collecting evidence. It is generally composed of experienced and experienced officials who have experience in handling cases.

The miscellaneous shift is responsible for all kinds of chores in the daily office, from cleaning to copywriting work of sorting out files.

But as time went by, the successive Dali Siqing also found that there were many inconveniences in sending out operations in such shifts.

For example, although the officials of the arrest squad have the best physical strength and the highest force, they are all inexperienced and simple-minded young people, and they are often blinded when investigating cases.

In addition, the cases investigated by Dali Temple are often important murder cases, and the criminals are all extremely vicious criminals, and it is often easy to have unnecessary casualties without a certain amount of force.

Therefore, in order to make the case more efficient, Dali Temple is often sent in the form of a group, and in a group, the inspection team is often used as the first officer, equipped with a catch class and a miscellaneous team.

In this way, the experienced inspection team leads the arrest team and the miscellaneous team, which not only makes the case handling more efficient, but also solves the problem that some of the arrest teams will not investigate the case and the miscellaneous team will only do trivial and miscellaneous things.

This is how the five-member group that the eldest grandson saw at this time was formed.

I saw two arresters immediately controlling the scene and being responsible for vigilance; As the first officer, the inspector team took a miscellaneous team to inspect the scene, and the last miscellaneous team was responsible for docking the case with the head officer of the county government.

The eldest grandson couldn't help but nod when he saw it, such cooperation really made the investigation more efficient.

The first chaban showed the professionalism he deserved.

I saw that he first cautiously walked to the corpse, did not turn the corpse, but leaned down to look at the wound on his neck, which was a smooth and slender knife wound.

Then he carefully dipped his index finger in the puddle of blood on the table, rubbing his index finger and thumb to feel the viscosity of the blood, trying to find some clues in it.

With that done, he looked at the messy table top, with overturned teapots and soaked rune paper.

However, he only paused for a moment before proceeding to investigate the rest of the room.

After checking it for a week, the head soldier finally crouched in front of the table, looked at the puddle of burnt black paper ash on the ground, carefully picked up a piece, squinted, and looked at it carefully in the light.

At this time, the miscellaneous squad had also finished docking with the county government, and walked quickly to the side of the head officer, seeing that he was carefully checking and did not dare to disturb him.

The foreman sensed the movement, carefully handed the paper ashes in his hand to the miscellaneous team next to him, and said, "Take these paper ashes back."

Just as he was about to get up, he remembered something, and then instructed: "It's a whole thing to bring back, if it's broken, then I'll rub you into ashes."

The small body of the miscellaneous squad next to him trembled, and hurriedly packed the ticket to the head to ensure the integrity of these paper ashes.

The head soldier didn't care, turned his head to look at the other miscellaneous team, and asked, "How is it?" Is there anything useful to ask from these straw bales? ”

The words of the head officer were full of contempt for the county government, and the miscellaneous team did not dare to talk for a while, and he didn't understand why his head officer wanted to humiliate the county government so much.

The status of the officials of Dali Temple is higher than that of the county officials, which is well known in the imperial capital, but usually everyone will do a good job of surface work, after all, they are all colleagues.

The chief soldier was a little impatient, and he urged: "Speak quickly!"

Only then did the miscellaneous class dare to talk.

"The deceased's name is Lu Tiancheng, and he only stayed in this inn yesterday. According to the store's recollection, I came to the store alone, and I didn't have any companions, and I didn't see anyone visit me in the past two days......"

"That's all?"

The head officer frowned, thinking that it was indeed a group of straw bales.

"Oh, also, this afternoon he specially told the shopkeeper not to disturb, saying that he was going to practice and prepare for the competition......"

"Practicing and preparing for the competition? He is? ”

The chief officer looked at the miscellaneous squad in some surprise.

The miscellaneous class nodded and said, "That's right, Boss, he is a contestant in the New Era Cup, and Lu Tiancheng, who ranks fiftieth on the city defense list......"

The miscellaneous team looked embarrassed, and it was a big deal to kill a contestant at this juncture.

The first soldier was suddenly a little upset, and scolded and said, "Why do I say it's so familiar, this unlucky person is a 'genius player'."

Miscellaneous class nodded, even people like the head servant who never cared about current affairs had heard of Lu Tiancheng's name, and it was conceivable that the New Era Cup was a sensation in the imperial capital now.

When the news of "Lu Tiancheng's mysterious death" spreads tomorrow, what kind of Xuanyuan wave will it cause in the imperial capital.

Miscellaneous classes can't imagine......

"Fuck, who found the body first?"

The chief officer asked angrily.

The miscellaneous class came back to his senses and hurriedly pointed to the three eldest grandsons not far away.

The chief turned and looked at the miscellaneous squad's fingers, and saw a man wearing a hat, a mask, and a man with his back to him.

"Pretending to be a ghost is not a good thing at first glance. All of them are sent back for interrogation! ”

Some people died, but not completely......
