Chapter XXXI: Results of the Investigation
It's not like someone wants to dig a grave, right?
Although from the Silent Soul Ancestor, he learned that the evil cultivator who created the Nine Turns of Yin Life died near here, but he also had no clue, because the Silent Soul Ancestor had also heard about it, not to mention the specific location, whether it was still uncertain here.
And even if you want to dig up graves, it shouldn't be in this way of making trouble in the city.
Since he couldn't figure it out, Ning Quan could only put it aside for the time being, while looking for a person who could complete the sword spirit transaction, and on the other hand, he honestly followed Niu Chun to investigate the deceased.
But neither of these is an easy matter.
The sword spirit asked for a normal cultivation technique, and it didn't seem like a big deal.
But for him, it would be too difficult to use evil thoughts to accurately find such a person who could have normal cultivation techniques, and this person had to be willing to give the exercises.
Anyone who can be accurately locked is not a few good people, and the possibility that these people can have normal cultivation exercises in their hands is too small.
As for the other method, I don't know how long it will take to apply to the Demon Suppression Division.
As for the deceased in the case, they were either killed or alone, the former is that almost all the people who are familiar with the target are dead, and they can't even tell which one is the target, while the latter is that there are few familiar people at all, and there are almost no useful clues to investigate.
I have to say that after Sun Erliang became an evil cultivator, he was really ruthless, and killed dozens of people for nine targets with different lives.
There are three families that have been wiped out alone, and there are three targets that have killed a bunch of people, and it seems that friends happened to get together to brag and drink, and they were wiped out, and the remaining two were also killed in addition to the target, and several passers-by died.
"Any clue?"
In the lobby of the Demon Suppression Division, Niu Chun was lying on the table, looking at the file in front of him with blank eyes.
After several days of investigation, they collected a lot of information that they didn't know if it was useful, and by the way, they also took all the information of the deceased from the yamen, and now they are on the table for analysis.
Niu Chun, who is obviously not good at this kind of thing, only looked at it for a while, and then lay on the table and closed himself.
Ning Quan was also dizzy, as a non-professional, let alone looking for clues, being able to sort out a table of information was enough for him to drink a pot, so he could only rub his swollen temples and sighed: "No... It feels like these targets are chosen at random. ”
"But the boss asked us to find out if there was any connection between these deceased..."Niu Chun weakly picked up the file he had just put down at hand, and continued to look at it, complaining while reading, "These three families have been destroyed, let alone acquaintance, it is estimated that they have not even seen each other, one city east, and two city north, and they are separated by six streets!" ”
"It should have nothing to do with whether you recognize it or not."
Ning Quan said, thinking of the experience of the past few days, he couldn't help but pull the corners of his mouth.
The death scene of these deceased people is scattered all over the city, and none of them are similar, after investigating one place, you have to rush to the next place and snort, Niu Chun's body cultivation can be said to be easy, but for him, the soul cultivator, it is too far away, and what's worse is that he can't ride a horse in the city, plus this body is already very weak, and it almost didn't burp him.
As a dignified monk, he still remembered the look in Niu Chun's eyes when he rested on the road several times in a row because he couldn't walk.
It's a shame.
He shook his head hard to shake the embarrassing memory out of his mind, and then continued to analyze: "Perhaps, it has something to do with their experience. ”
"Experience? What kind of experience, they don't have much experience in common. ”
Hearing his words, although Niu Chun was complaining, he still stood up, turned over the files on the table again, and then laid out the sorted files in different categories.
"The three families that were destroyed, the first is a merchant who lives in the north of the city, it is a well-off family, since he was born, he has lived in Taiping Mansion for decades, and he has not left, and the second family is also a local, the man is the bookkeeper of the restaurant, and the woman is helping people do needlework to subsidize the family, which is much worse than the first one, and the third is a military household living in the east of the city, and the ancestors are all members of the mortal army for eight generations, and they only moved over five years ago."
After putting the three files out, Niu Chun asked curiously, "Do you think these three families have anything in common?" ”
"Uh..." Ning Quan was also out of idea for a while, looking at the other files in his hand, he didn't know what to say.
However, after Niu Chun finished asking, he seemed to think of something, and suddenly asked excitedly, "You seem to be his target too, right?" ”
“... Can you please not say such scary things. Ning Quan was speechless for a while, "Can't he just run into me in a hurry?" ”
"Guess whatever!"
Niu Chun said eloquently: "Look, if you are also his target, then what do you think you have in common with these people?" ”
"I just came that day." Ning Quan couldn't help but emphasize.
He still couldn't believe that since he entered the city, he had been targeted by an evil cultivator who didn't know the depths.
"So! That's when you think about what you have in common! ”
But Niu Tsubaki still showed quite excitement, as if he had found some breakthrough.
"Look at you, as a monk, that person will definitely find out your cultivation by means such as looking at qi, so why did he let Sun Erliang go to you? Aren't you afraid that Sun Erliang will fight with you and make a big fuss? Therefore, it is very likely that he felt that Sun Erliang was about to get out of his control, so he asked Sun Erliang to find you, and he was borrowing a knife to kill people! It just happens to be the unloading mill after using it to kill the donkey! ”
"It's... It seems to make some sense. ”
Although he didn't want to believe it, it sounded like this, but he had to admit that it really seemed a bit of a possibility.
But if that's the case, then the other party is afraid that he didn't follow him all the way, because he had just entered the city that day, and he wasn't even sure where he lived, and the other party wanted to know where he lived, so he naturally had to follow.
Thinking of this, Ning Quan felt a little creepy.
However, Niu Chun was not afraid at all, and after seeing his approval, he immediately said excitedly: "Hurry up, think about it, have you noticed any suspicious people on the road!" ”
It's a pity that he can't think of any suspicious people.
When I first entered the city, I thought that this was a veritable Taiping Mansion, and I patronized and appreciated the customs on the way.
As for who knows where he lives, he can only think of the surrounding neighbors, or the landlord, or a few government officials who came to register before moving in, and he also spent money to buy an identity for the little girl.
After excluding everyone one by one, he could only shake his head.
How can there be any suspicious people...
Looking at Niu Tsubaki, who drooped his head again, he was suddenly stunned.
Because he seems to have really found a suspicious person.
While investigating with Niu Tsubaki, he still roams the city with his evil thought body, looking for any suspected targets of evil cultivators.
It turned out that he really found one.
