Volume 1 The Knife Rises from Qingzhou Chapter 64 Discussion
City Lord Fu Tianming has been very satisfied recently, although he has been rejected by the state lord to change the name of Qingyu City, but he has really had close contact with the state lord, and he also received personal instructions from the state lord when the weather in Qingyu City changed suddenly, which is a great opportunity for every three years when the state government reports on his work, he can only stand at the end of the city lord's team on the main hall of Qinghua Palace and look at the state lord from afar.
In addition, there are almost no demons in the city to make trouble again, and it seems that a comfortable New Year is already a sure thing, and he should be able to get the commendation of the state lord on the day of the next year's debriefing, and there may be an opportunity to be transferred to the big city at that time.
It's just that his beautiful reverie is destined to disappear by today, because the scene in front of him does not look like it can be regarded as an ordinary homicide.
"Haven't cultivator Tan Gang and the other four come over yet?" City Lord Fu rubbed his temples, feeling quite tricky, and said, "Take the cloth and cover the two of you." ”
"The city lord, I have gone to the residence of the four adults with the head of the city reserve army, and I believe that they will come over soon. Chang Kuan, the head of the city garrison, answered the road and ordered a white cloth to cover the two corpses on the ground.
City Lord Fu sighed, as the lord of a city, he naturally understood that if such a thing happened, the people in the city would no longer be as safe as before, and said: "I can only wait, although Qingyu City has five hundred government troops, and there are more generals in the middle and Huang generals, and Huang generals are assisted, but they are used to deal with the real demon raids and infestations, and they are not good at investigation, and it is not yet possible to determine whether these two people are harmed by demons, it is not enough to mobilize the government army, wait for the four people from the cultivator to inspect and come over, let's discuss it!"
"Report!"
A young man dressed in a city guard officer's uniform jumped off his horse, ran into the house quickly, knelt down on one knee and said, "Report to the city lord and the military leader, there is no one in the residence of the four cultivators, I think they have gone out and not returned!"
City Lord Fu straightened his stomach, waved his hand, motioned for the team on the ground to get up, and muttered, "Then wait a little longer..."
At the same time, in the Fulin Building, there were no guests on the second floor at this time, only the proprietress Hua Yun leaned against the window quietly, ignoring the cold wind blowing in the window.
"Miss, Lin Erdan and Tan Gang went to Grandma Sun's house. Lao Zhangtou squeezed out the space and went up to the second floor to find Hua Yunyu to report.
Hua Yun's eyes moved slightly, and asked, "What, is something wrong?" According to Lin Erdan's personality, if he doesn't finish the day's work honestly and earn enough money to earn it, he won't easily walk away.
Lao Zhangtou lowered his head as usual and replied: "According to Uncle Cai in the neighborhood, it was said that Grandma Sun's family died, and Grandma Sun and her granddaughter Sun Xiaohong lost their lives together. After speaking, he secretly raised his eyes and looked at Hua Yun.
With a "swish", Hua Yun suddenly stood up, looked out the window, and saw that Lin Erdan's figure was no longer visible, and bowed his head and said, "Order our people to quickly investigate the results and find an opportunity to tell the four minor cultivators." In addition, arrange someone to protect Lin Erdan, don't let him lose his life, and don't let him do stupid things. ”
"Yes, my subordinates understand!" Old Zhang Tou got the order and went downstairs.
There was only a soft sigh upstairs.
The location of the Fulin Building is on a street, the street is nameless, not far from the Fulin Tower is the city gate on the periphery of the Sunny Rain City and the 100,000 Mountain, and in the opposite direction is the intersection of this street.
Tan Gang looked at Lin Erdan, who was lost and depressed, and didn't know what to say, only secretly planned to find out the murderer, so as to avenge this guy, who often went to Fulin Building, who didn't know that the shopkeeper of Fulin Building liked to show off that he had a beloved girl, that is, Sun Xiaohong, the granddaughter of Grandma Busun who sold cloth at the corner of the street?
"It should be almost there, right?" asked Xiong Gang as he began.
Tan Gang glanced at the three Jingmen Sect members who followed on their own, nodded and said, "Just turn the corner of the alley." "These three people don't seem to have malicious intentions, it doesn't hurt to keep up, and the Jingmen Sect is a second-rate sect, and it can be regarded as a famous family, so it should be for experience to follow them, right?
The three of them are naturally for the experience, this time escorting the two junior brothers, it seems that they have good luck along the way, and they have not encountered any demons, but if they continue like this, then they will lose the meaning of going down the mountain to practice, and now I hear that there seem to be demons killing people, so they naturally do not want to miss this opportunity, not to mention that people in the practice of subduing demons and eliminating demons are within their bounds.
There is an alley not far from the entrance of the street, and there is a big willow tree at the entrance of the alley, which is about the size of three people hugging each other, but it is a pity that it is the end of the year, and I can't see the beautiful scenery of thousands of silks falling like rain.
The yard of Grandma Sun's house is a little shabby, but it is cleaned up, and there are even clothes in the yard that are frozen hard, and it can be seen that the owner's family was obviously very diligent during his lifetime.
Before everyone entered the courtyard, they had been notified to the city lord by the city garrison, and when everyone entered the hospital, they saw Fu Tianming and Chang Kuan, the head of the city garrison, waiting for them.
"I've seen the city lord!"
Except for Lin Erdan, who had been staring at the corpse covered with a white cloth in the courtyard, everyone saluted Fu Tianming, even the three of Xionggang, this was the courtesy that Fu Tianming deserved as the lord of a city, even if they were cultivators, most of them were yellow-level masters.
Fu Tianming Fu City Lord hurriedly helped everyone up with both hands, at this time he didn't have the intention of enjoying the respect of others, but he still looked at Lin Erdan who didn't salute with a little surprise, I don't know what kind of way this Lin Erdan came from.
Seeing this, Tan Gang understood what City Lord Fu meant, leaned forward slightly, and whispered in the ear of City Lord Fu: "This is the second shopkeeper of Fulin Building, named Lin Erdan, who was adopted by Hua seniors since he was a child, and is a person he is extremely close to!"
"Hey, you mean..."City Lord Fu's eyes were full of surprise, and his gaze at Lin Erdan was much more cautious and awe-inspiring.
"Ahem... Who are these masters, please introduce Tan Daxia?" "In the end, it was the city lord, who reacted very quickly, and skipped Lin Erdan when he spoke, so as not to cause embarrassment.
Tan Gang was stunned for a moment, almost unable to keep up with the city lord's train of thought, but still introduced: "These three are the contemporary disciples of the Fengyin City Pure Gate Sect Xionggang, Xiongying, and Xiongfeng, all of whom are yellow-level cultivators, and the eldest disciple Xionggang is a yellow-level high-level master, I heard that there seem to be demons doing evil, come with me to kill demons and eliminate demons!"
City Lord Fu was overjoyed when he heard this, this is a rare reinforcement, when has there been so many yellow-level masters in this small city?
After the two sides exchanged pleasantries, they finally got to the point, Tan Gang and Xiong Gang opened the corpse in the courtyard together, and saw that it was really an old woman, with a big hole in her chest, and the edges were faintly black, exuding a fishy smell.
"Summon!"
He was an experienced old man, but he didn't have any cultivation, he staggered over, saluted, and said: "The deceased was called Grandma Sun, and died about four watches, that is, around the ugly hour, and the cause of death was a hole in the chest, the heart was removed, and there were no other external injuries. ”
Tan Gang thanked the old man, although they also saw the cause of Grandma Sun's death, they could not specifically determine when the deceased died, and this often contains a lot of clues, such as the murderer acted at night, for example, the murderer may be an acquaintance, or he may be a butcher who specializes in killing at night. It's just that they also found a circle of abnormalities at the edge of Grandma Sun's wound, which made their hearts sink gradually.
Tan Gang's expression was solemn, he glanced at Lin Erdan, who was walking towards the other corpse in the house, and turned back to ask Lao Zuo, "What is the condition of the other corpse?"
"Lord Yu, the other deceased is named Sun Xiaohong, the cause of death is the same as Grandma Sun's chest was pierced and her heart was removed, but the difference is that Sun Xiaohong died at about Yin, and in addition, her lower body was also severely injured......"
Hearing this, everyone looked at Lin Erdan, who was kneeling in front of Sun Xiaohong's corpse in the room, only to see that his body was shocked, and then he lay on Sun Xiaohong's corpse weakly, crying bitterly.
City Lord Fu Tianming said: "Have you made any discoveries, can you tell if it was done by demons?" Although he is generally a yellow-level cultivator with Tan Gang and Xionggang, his cultivation is to be able to be the city lord before he works hard to cultivate, and after that, he has no effort, let alone any experience.
Since the city lord asked, Tan Gang naturally wouldn't hide it, straightened out his thoughts, and said: "There are too few other clues, but just from the dark aura left in the wound, it can be concluded that the murderer must be inseparable from the demon, but where this demon will be, it is still impossible to judge." ”
Xiong Gang then spoke: "The means are so bloody, those who dig out people's hearts, even if they are not demons, should be crooked and ruthless, and after they are caught, they will definitely be broken into ten thousand pieces!"
City Lord Fu stood up, took out a seal from his body and said to Chang Kuan, the head of the city garrison army: "The head of the Chang army took the official seal letter and went to the place where the government army was stationed outside the city, and said that there were demons in Qingyu City and killed the people, please strengthen their patrols, carefully investigate, and make sure that the demon has nothing to hide!
"Yes, Xiaguan will go!" Chang Kuan took the seal letter and took the horse from the leader of the team on the side, turned over and ran out of the city.
Fu Tianming watched Chang Kuan's back gradually fade away, and finally disappeared at the mouth of the alley, before he turned around and saluted Tan Gang and the others: "I hope you will help, Fu Mou has thanked you first!"
Seeing that Fu Tianming was so polite, Tan Gang and Xionggang all patted their chests and promised that there would be no mistakes, and they would definitely work together to kill the demon.
It's just that where is the demon now? I didn't have the slightest clue after arguing for a long time.
And in the room that everyone didn't notice at this time, Lin Erdan's eyes narrowed, and he vigorously picked up Sun Xiaohong's corpse, which was covered with a white cloth, and ran out of the door suddenly, looking crazy.
"Little Brother Lin, you are..."
"This corpse can't move, this is one of the evidence..."
Everyone screamed again and again, but out of some strange tacit understanding, they didn't stop each other.
Lin Erdan ignored everything, and just blindly ran towards Fulin Tower.
Boss, you have to avenge me!
