Xiao Ti took the arrow and looked at it, and his expression changed slightly.

Wei Xiao also saw the arrow and couldn't help frowning.

"The system of this arrow is very similar to the arrows in the army."

Xiao Ti said in a deep voice: "It's just an image." ”

Wei Xiao took a closer look and found that this arrow was still a little different from the arrow in the army in terms of details.

He asked, "Is there anything else to discover?" ”

Yan Nanguan: "There is still a lot of money hidden on the ship, we checked it, and the money should have been looted by the bandits, that is, the boat is indeed owned by the bandits." ”

Wang Yue couldn't help but interject.

"Could it be that the water bandits were retaliated against by the enemy? They make a living by robbing passing merchant ships, and people like them must have many enemies. ”

Xiao Ti looked at the arrow in his hand and said slowly.

"The people who can use this kind of arrow are certainly not ordinary people."

Wei Yu continued.

"The other side only kills people, not money, which shows that they don't care about the money at all.

A group of water bandits, can they provoke such a powerful enemy?

Could it be that they not only robbed merchant ships, but also robbed official ships? ”

Wang Yue immediately shook his head.

"That's not going to happen, these bandits aren't crazy, how dare they rob the official ship?

If they dared to attack the official ships, the imperial court would have sent troops to destroy them a long time ago. ”

Luo Pingsha said thoughtfully.

"Another point, if it's really to seek revenge, you just need to kill someone, but what about corpses?

Why is there not a single person on board? ”

Wei Xiao laughed softly.

"It's getting more and more interesting."

Wang Yue didn't think it was interesting at all, he rubbed his arms, and his face was scared.

"Could it be that those who were killed by them turned into ghosts to seek revenge on them?"

Yan Nanguan was speechless: "It's a pity that you don't write a script with your imagination." ”

Wei Yu proposed: "Those bandits often move around here, which means that their lair should be near here, why don't we look for their lair?" ”

Wang Yue shouted in horror.

"There's no need for this, let's just assume that we can't do it?

Anyway, those bandits are not a good thing, they deserve to die, leave them alone. ”

Xiao Ti didn't care if the group of water bandits lived or died, but he cared a lot about the origin of this arrow.

The people who can make these arrows are probably related to the military.

He quickly made a decision.

"Check."

Wang Yue was reluctant in his heart, but the prestige of the king of Langjun was there, and he didn't dare to disobey.

The merchant ship slowed down and made its way along the riverbank.

As a result, they really found the traces left by the water bandits.

There is a small ferry by the river, but because it is blocked by trees, you can't see it unless you look closely.

To be able to make a ferry in such a place where there is no village in front of the village and no shop in the back is in all likelihood to facilitate the group of water bandits to go and rob.

Yan Nanguan took the eagle guards to approach the ferry in a small boat and landed from that ferry port.

Others stayed on board and waited.

Everyone waited for a long time before Yan Nanguan and his party came back.

Yan Nanguan's face was ugly.

"His Royal Highness the King of Qiyu County, we found the lair of the water bandits, but all the water bandits are dead, their bodies and houses have been burned clean, and not a single living mouth has been left."

Wei Xiao became more and more interested, and planned to go ashore to see it for himself.

Xiao Ti also decided to go to the scene to see the situation.

The boat set off again.

Xiao Ti and Wei Yu landed at the small ferry.

As they walked along the mountain road, they found that the grass and trees on the side of the road were stained with blood.

If you look closely, you can see blood marks on the ground, which should be left by the corpse when it was dragged.

Wei Yu smacked his tongue.

"Tsk, forget about killing, you have to drag the body back and burn it, this group of people's habits are a bit weird."

When they found the stockade where the bandits lived, it was charred black, and the whole stockade had been burned to the ground.

Peel back the collapsed beams and reveal charred corpses that have been burned beyond recognition.

These charred corpses are all in one place.

It shows that after those people killed the bandits, they deliberately dragged the corpses here and burned them in a centralized manner.

Wei Xiao touched his chin: "Why are they doing this? ”

Xiao Ti looked at the ruins in front of him and was silent for a while before he spoke.

"Maybe it's to make it easier to count them."

Wei Xiao suddenly said: "Yes, there are so many bandits, plus their families, there must be a lot of them, in order to avoid the fish that slip through the net, those people will definitely count the number of people." ”

He praised Xiao Ti for a rare time.

"It's worthy of being the king of Langjun, and the guess in his heart about the murderous demon is too good."

Xiao Ti ignored this guy's yin and yang weirdness.

His gaze lingered on one of the charred corpses for a long time, and he noticed that the charred corpse's right hand was clenched into a fist, and a faint green could be seen between the fingers.

Like you're holding something in your hand?

Xiao Ti raised his feet and walked over.

He pried open the charred corpse's fingers with the knife of no return, and an emerald emerald bracelet rolled to the ground.

Xiao Ti wrapped the bracelet in a handkerchief and picked it up.

At this time, Wei Xiao also came over.

"The texture is transparent and clear, the color is bright and green, it's a good thing!"

Xiao Ti turned the bracelet around, his eyes stayed on the inside of the bracelet, and his eyes narrowed slightly.

Wei Yu immediately asked, "What did you find?" ”

He reached out to take the bracelet and look at it.

However, Xiao Ti avoided his hand and wrapped the bracelet into his sleeve.

"It's nothing, let's go back."

Wei Yu was very dissatisfied: "Hey, you obviously found a clue, why didn't you tell me?" You can't be so selfish and stingy! ”

Xiao Ti didn't bother to take care of him, so he squatted down and checked the charred corpse in front of him.

Male, medium build, cause of death was an arrow through the heart.

Because the corpse was burned too badly, Xiao Ti could see this for the time being.

He commanded the eagle guards behind him.

"Take this body back."

"Whoa."

The eagle guards made a simple stretcher out of tree branches and carried the male charred stone down the mountain.

Wang Yue was relieved to see that they had finally returned, and was about to open his mouth to urge them to leave this place of right and wrong quickly, when he saw that the eagle guards had brought back a charred corpse!

Wang Yue was so frightened on the spot that he gasped and almost fainted.

"You, you, you, how did you bring this thing back? Throw it off the boat! ”

Xiao Ti said lightly: "This is important physical evidence, and it can't be thrown." ”

After speaking, he no longer paid attention to Wang Yue, who was anxious and afraid, and turned his head to Luo Pingsha and commanded.

"I'll give you a test on this corpse, and I'll get a result as soon as possible."

"Whoa."

Then Xiao Ti walked straight to the cabin.

Wang Yue couldn't wait to shout: "Hurry up, hurry!" ”

The merchant ship set sail again, and after leaving the small ferry, continued along the original route.

In the guest room, he breathed a long sigh of relief when he saw Xiao Ti come back safely.

Yu Yuanxuan asked the reason for the stoppage.

Xiao Ti told her about the killing of the bandits, and took out the jade bracelet wrapped in a handkerchief from his sleeve.

"This is not an ordinary bracelet, it flows from the palace."

Xiao Ti: If you make an important discovery, of course, you have to be the first to tell me about Jia Bao'er.
