"I want you to understand a formation within three days, this Qianji still values you kid. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info" The five brothers of the Luo family greeted the door, and the fourth child glanced at the two volumes in Xiao Yun's hand, snorted lightly, and laughed.

Luo Jihu's tone was a little strange, so Xiao Yun couldn't tell whether he was mocking, jealous, or something else. Xiao Yun only knew that with the two volumes in his hand, he was a little more sure in the competition for the first crown of the Shenzhou Martial Arts Association.

For Chihime's question, he really answered seriously.

The first crown, he really didn't know.

If he still had a sense of self-confidence in the past, then now, after seeing the first two rounds of the conference, which were not very exciting, he knows himself more and more clearly.

He said he wasn't sure, then he was really not sure.

He never thinks of himself as the protagonist, so he doesn't have the modesty of the protagonist.

Dealing with people and things, "seeking truth from facts" seems to have gradually become his criterion.

Holding the two volumes tightly, Xiao Yun knew that the result of this martial arts meeting was not just his own business.

The general's mansion was looking at him from top to bottom, and the royal family also acquiesced to him as a last resort, and now, even Qianji seems to have taken a clear stand.

In this way, the "hope" of the entire Yanhua Empire was pressed on him.

It's just that Xiao Yun doesn't know now that this hope is related to the rise and fall of the entire Yanhua Empire!

"General Qiyu. ”

At this moment, a loud voice interrupted Xiao Yun's thinking.

Say. ”

Although Luo Hu stood behind the four brothers, he was the first to speak.

"After Luo Jiajun's investigation, early this morning, the son of Boss Zhu of the Fuyang Tea House in the east of the city, the son of the boss Zhao of the Piaoxiang Restaurant in the east of the city, and the contestants of the Shenzhou Martial Arts Association, Zhuang Kang, Zhang Zhi, Jiang Yan, Chen Yi and several others were killed. Locke, who was making a report, paused slightly and then said, "Moreover, the murderer did not leave any traces. ”

After listening to this Locke's army, several generals showed thoughtful expressions.

After a long time, Luo Hu said: "It's past noon now, why is the case reported in the morning now?"

The reason for this question is that the time of reporting is related to the speed at which the murderer is apprehended.

"General Hui, all this news was dug up by our army, and before that, these murder cases were detained by some officials. The more Locke spoke, the quieter he became, "They said that the disclosure of the case would affect the people's ......."

"Bastard thing, the people's hearts?Hmph, is it just a pretext for those rice buckets to affect the people's hearts?" Luo Hu said angrily after hearing this, "Does not making it public mean hiding the true situation from the emperor's superiors? These miscellaneous things, at this juncture, are still planning for their own black yarn!"

"What did you find?"

Since the Luo family army has come to report, then something must have been found. For his subordinates, Luo Hu has absolute confidence.

"General Hui, as soon as his subordinates found out about the news, they immediately launched an investigation and secretly sealed off the places around the assassination site. ”

As they listened, the five generals nodded, and it seemed that their subordinates were still very satisfied with their actions.

"However, after nearly two hours of secret investigation, we have not found any suspicious persons. There are so many cultivators who have come under the influence of the conference that we simply have no means to eliminate them. In other words, as long as it is a strong cultivator, it is suspicious. ”

Hearing this, the expressions of the five generals were not so good.

Locke's remarks show that their half-day investigation was fruitless.

Sensing the face of his general, Luo Jiajun wiped a cold sweat, but continued: "Although we don't know anything about the murderer, but through our efforts, we found that since yesterday afternoon, people have been killed one after another in the interior of the entire imperial capital, and they are all silent. ”

Leng Yue Luo Hu couldn't hide his anger anymore, and reprimanded: "The total?"

"Counting from the beginning of the Divine Martial Arts Association, plus those who were killed in the suburbs before, we have collected one hundred and seventy-two corpses so far. Of those, 26 were killed between last night and this morning. ”

"Damn!" his fists clenched blue, Luo Hu said coldly, "How many things did those bastards down there not report?!

Xiao Yun stood aside and listened quietly. When he heard that in just a few days, more than 170 people had died in the imperial capital, although he was not as angry as Luo Hu, but his heart was full of sympathy.

More than 170 lives were killed in the days since the opening of the conference. Moreover, this is only the number of corpses collected by Locke, if he wants to say the real number of killed, he knows far more.

Human life is so despicable.

It's so lowly that it can be taken away at any time.

"Where's the body?"

Boss Luo spoke at this time, although he didn't scold like his fifth brother, but it could be seen from his impatient expression that he was also a little dissatisfied with the actions of those officials at the lower levels.

"The morgue outside the prison. ”

"Let's go, let's take a look. Greeting his four younger brothers, Boss Luo followed the Luo family army who came to report and walked quickly in the direction of the prison.

The other four generals didn't say hello to Xiao Yun, so they followed their eldest brother.

After putting away the book given by Qianji, Xiao Yun pondered for a moment, and finally decided to follow along.

When the group arrived at the prison, the five generals of Rao are going in and out of the battlefield full of corpses all year round, but when they saw the nearly 200 corpses neatly lined up outside the gate of the prison, they were also a little frightened.

The Luo Jiajun led them to the front of the corpse array, pointed to the more than twenty corpses here, and said, "This is the victim found between last night and this morning, most of them are eighteen or nineteen years old, and after our verification, they were also cultivators before their deaths. ”

Looking at the corpses that Luo Jiajun was referring to, Xiao Yun faintly felt that several of them seemed to be a little familiar. But where exactly he had seen it and what intersections he had had, he couldn't remember.

After all, in recent months, Xiao Yun has not been in and out of the inner city or the outer city, but there are also a lot. As a result, he also had a lot of dealings with the young people in the imperial capital. There are too many friends in Pingshui, but there are only a few who really remember the name.

So he didn't take it too seriously, he just thought he had seen it before.

"What's wrong with the cultivator?" Luo Shuhu raised his voice, he didn't bother to think about it, and directly urged Luo Jiajun to finish the matter at one time, "Also, you guys are in a row, why are you so neat?"

As soon as Luo Shuhu said this, Xiao Yun also noticed that the corpses here were all placed in a queue. However, the number of each row is not the same, some have only a few people in the horizontal row, and some have more than 20 people in the horizontal row, which is uneven.

At first, Xiao Yun thought that this was the daily quality of soldiers. But the difference in the number of people in each row made him feel that it was not so simple.

"General Hui," Luo Jiajun bowed, "Every row of corpses here is arranged in order of the time of death. The corpses in the same row all died on the same day. In a row like ours, all the victims in the last twelve hours of the day. ”

Hearing this, Xiao Yun understood.

looked at it again, and sure enough, it was found that the further inside the corpse, the more gray the face became. Especially in the innermost rows, there are even a few corpses that already show signs of decay.

He had just figured it out, but he immediately felt that it was wrong.

Isn't there more than 20 corpses in this row in front of you?

Compared to the horizontal rows inside, this front row is undoubtedly the longest, that is, the most corpses!

In this way, last night was the most frequent period of time for murderers so far? Could the murderer be a single person? Xiao Yun was puzzled, but when he thought that one person would wipe out hundreds of people's lives at will without being investigated, he felt that it was unlikely.

So, if it's a group of murderers, do these people belong to the same organization, and what is the position of this organization?

Thinking of this, Xiao Yun swept his gaze over the more than twenty corpses again, confirming that these deceased were all extremely young, and the oldest seemed to be only twenty-five years old. That is, the murderer had a purpose?

So, what is the purpose?

Just because you're young?

Xiao Yun shook his head, he didn't think so, the more than twenty people who died must have some kind of commonality!

Thinking like this, he couldn't help but glance again.
