Chapter 879: Murder

The area where the situation occurred was on the edge of the other end of the forbidden city, and when Ling Xiao arrived at the alley where the incident occurred, he saw only blood all over the ground, a mess, and a headless corpse.

Many onlookers gathered at the scene, and when they saw Ling Xiao, they were all in a commotion.

"Lord Ling!"

"Lord Ling personally patrols?"

The crowd eagerly stepped forward to talk.

Ling Xiao glanced at the corpse, feeling the remaining spiritual energy fluctuations at the scene, and his tone couldn't help but be a little grim, and asked, "What happened?" ”

"I don't know."

"When we came, we only saw this corpse!"

"There was a strong fluctuation here just now, there must be someone fighting here!"

“……”

Everyone talked about the situation, and they looked like they were palpitating.

The scene was very chaotic, the battle covered a wide area, almost destroyed the entire alley, affected the warehouses of many shops, and caused the scene to scatter materials.

Ling Xiao slowly stepped forward, his divine sense swept over the corpse, and his face was still calm.

The head of the corpse was deliberately removed, obviously as a means to prevent soul searching, and the fatal wound was in the waist, and the deceased was directly smashed by someone from behind.

Storage bags are also missing.

It is unclear what the purpose of this was a deliberate crime.

More people are attracted to come and watch from afar.

"He's wearing the clothes of the Furong Chamber of Commerce, and he's from the Furong Chamber of Commerce!"

Someone whispered, recognizing the deceased's costume.

"The Furong Chamber of Commerce?"

People couldn't help but be awe-struck.

The Furong Chamber of Commerce is not small in Dragon City, with a total of eight shops, the business scope is mainly materials and spiritual food, and the business routes are all over the country, there is a specially formed demon hunting group, and several Jindan monks have been recruited, and the strength is not bad.

"Your Excellency!"

The team arrived at the scene breathlessly at this moment.

"My lord, do you want to disperse the crowd?" One asked.

"Not necessarily."

Ling Xiao leaned under a tree with a crooked neck, shook his head slightly, and then looked out of the crowd.

The crowd also stirred slightly, and spontaneously moved out of the way.

A woman came with the crowd.

This woman seems to have just attended a grand banquet, wearing a graceful red dress, with an elegant posture and a beautiful appearance, like a blooming red rose, but her face at the moment is gloomy and abnormal, and she is followed by a large number of guards, including a mid-stage Jindan monk.

"Shopkeeper Guo!"

This woman is the current treasurer of the Furong Chamber of Commerce, Guo Hongyi.

Guo Hongyi's expression, after seeing the headless corpse on the ground, became more and more gloomy, and he arched his hand and said, "The little woman has seen the governor!" ”

Ling Xiao felt a trace of pressure, and there was a resolute woman on the other side, who was very difficult to provoke.

"This is Guo's shopkeeper?"

He asked, pointing to the corpse on the ground.

Guo Hongyi took a deep breath and said, "Not bad." She winked, and the employees behind her immediately grabbed it, ready to take the body away.

"Lord Governor, the little woman has no intention of reporting the crime, and the corpse will be brought back by me for burial!"

Guo Hongyi said coldly, and at the same time glanced at the Praetorian Guards led by Ling Xiao, the expression on his face was indescribably irritable and depressed.

The Jin Dan guard behind her was startled, and couldn't help but say, "Shopkeeper, how can you not report the case?" Guo Yan has 30 million spirit stones on him! ”

The person who died was not an ordinary employee, but a capable officer of the Chamber of Commerce.

This time, Guo Yan carried a heavy gift and went to visit a certain senior for Guo Hongyi, who expected that he would die halfway, and 30 million spirit stones would be gone, how good could Guo Hongyi's mood be?

Rao is like this, Guo Hongyi didn't say much, just shook his head and said, "Let's talk about it when I go back." ”

The Jin Dan guards were indignant, but they couldn't refute her decision, so they could only snort coldly: "Lord Governor, the people of our Chamber of Commerce were killed on the street, when did the security of Dragon City get to this point?" ”

The faces of everyone in the Chamber of Commerce were very bad, and they looked at the guards with a rather angry expression.

"You show your wealth, why do you blame the security in the city?"

"That's it, the adults have rushed over as soon as possible!"

The guards were not convinced, and immediately retorted, taking the opportunity to say good things for Ling Xiao.

"The first time...... Hmph, it seems that the Praetorian guards are really hardworking, but you are all working so hard, why are there still so many people dying every day in Dragon City? The Jindan guards sneered.

"Enough!"

Guo Hongyi turned around and snorted coldly, stopping this senseless verbal confrontation, and then said to Ling Xiao: "Lord Governor, the little woman retires." ”

Ling Xiao didn't say a word the whole time, until this moment, Fang seemed to come back to his senses, glanced at the corpse that was taken away, and the corners of his mouth hooked up a meaningful smile.

"Shopkeeper Guo, if you have revenge, you have to revenge, and you have to avenge your grievances. If you don't report to the official, do you have to let the murderer get away with it all the time? He asked with a smile.

"No need."

Guo Hongyi replied stiffly and turned around to leave.

However, the figure in front of him flickered, but Ling Xiao didn't know when he was blocking in front of him, there were so many people on the scene, and no one noticed how he came over.

The Jindan guard was shocked, subconsciously pulled Guo Hongyi behind him, and said, "Lord Ling, how are you doing?" Do you have to be troubled by the Lord? ”

Ling Xiao smiled and shook his head slightly: "I misunderstood, I just want to ask clearly, does Shopkeeper Guo really want to report the case?" ”

Guo Hongyi was about to answer, but saw Ling Xiao pointing to the corpse, and said lazily: "Sneak attack from behind, the method is crisp and neat, and the deceased will not be able to see the identity of the murderer until he dies." ”

As soon as these words came out, everyone was stunned and didn't know what they meant.

Guo Hongyi was thoughtful, reacted immediately, and frowned: "So, there is no need to take off the head." ”

And the murderer did just that.

It is not for wealth.

Either the murderer is afraid that Guo Yan will be searched for souls, or the murderer intends to search Guo Yan's soul!

Either way, Guo Hongyi smelled a hint of conspiracy.

After thinking for a moment, she shook her head and said in a deep voice: "Thank you for reminding me, please forgive me for my gaffes, and prepare a small gift another day, and come to the door to apologize!" Leave! ”

She planned to discuss it with a few good seniors in the city first.

If this matter is aimed at the Seremban Chamber of Commerce, it is better to prevent it in advance.

But Ling Xiao stretched out his hand again and stopped her.

"Lord Ling?" Guo Hongyi was a little impatient, the other party blocked him three times and twice, what did he want to do?

"Oh, although you don't want to report the case, since you were bumped into by Ling, there is no reason to ignore it." Ling Xiao said pitifully, chuckled, and his figure suddenly leaped like a spirit ape, rushing straight to a certain place in the crowd of onlookers.

This time the rabbit rose and fell, and the crowd sounded a series of exclamations, followed by two crisp sounds of "click", and the crowd spontaneously got out of the way, but saw Ling Xiao carrying a person like a chicken, and slowly walked back.

Throwing the person to the ground, Ling Xiao clapped his hands and said with a smile: "You dare to kill people during Ling's inspection, it's very rampant." ”

The tone was mixed with deep murderous intent.

The reason why the onlookers were not dispersed was to arrest people, and the murderer was in the crowd!

The crooked-necked tree he leaned on had already helped him identify the murderer!
