Lu Sangjiu has to pretend to be stupid and sweet to the end, so she has been just eating with her head down, looking like she doesn't care much about anything.

And when it comes to asking questions or temptations, Yan is drunk, supplemented by Xie Ningyuan.

After chatting about the city lord's wife, Yan Zui didn't detour anymore and went straight to the point.

"We came in a hurry this time, and the junior sisters who came last time haven't had time to tell us the specific situation, so what is going on in this matter, we still need the city lord to explain it to us in detail, so that we can know where to start investigating."

The city lord was stunned for a moment, and his face couldn't help but show a little suspicion, "This...... Although the task has not been successful, but when you come out and do the task, you should report it to the sect, right? Didn't you get the dossier from the sect? ”

Yan Zui said a little embarrassed, "I won't tell you the truth, the relationship between the senior sister who came back last year and me is relatively poor, and the two of us also have some competitive relations." ”

"Especially this mission, the meaning of her own success is different from that of me, so ......"

She didn't say anything more when she said this, but only gave the city lord a "everyone understands" look.

Although it is ambiguous, where there are people, there is a power struggle.

As the lord of a city, the twists and turns in this are still somewhat clear, so at this time, his face also showed a little understanding, as if he believed what Yan Zui said.

"I see...... However, when the fairy investigated here, he didn't reveal the specific content to me, and there may not be much I can tell you. ”

When he said this, the city lord looked ashamed, but Lu Sangjiu didn't miss the flash of joy in his eyes.

Yan Zui didn't feel that something was wrong, and only smiled sincerely, "It's okay, the city lord can say as much as he knows, it can help us." ”

Then the lord of the city told the whole story of the matter.

The first female cultivator to go missing in the city was a casual cultivator in the foundation building period, just a month ago.

At that time, she lived in an inn in the city, but later the shopkeeper found that the person was missing, and thought that she had run away, so she didn't pay much attention to it.

The other cultivators who had made an appointment with her to go to the forest outside the city to hunt demon beasts also came over, only to find out that the female cultivator might be missing.

It's just a casual cultivator, although I think it may be missing, but everyone doesn't want to make trouble, so they don't report it to the City Lord's Mansion.

The second one is also a loose cultivation in the foundation building period, and the situation is similar to the first.

It wasn't until the third missing nun appeared, it was a young lady from a big family who sneaked out to play, and the family chased them all the way, only to find that the person was missing, which alarmed the City Lord's Mansion.

At that time, the big family said that those who could provide clues would give a bounty, and the matter of the two missing female cultivators before was revealed one after another.

However, the City Lord's Mansion did not find a clue after some investigation, and as a result, another nun disappeared six days later.

This one is better than the previous one because it was discovered immediately and there were eyewitnesses.

After tracking all the way, four female corpses were finally found in the woods outside the city, and after identification, they were the four missing female cultivators.

And they died in a miserable state, as if they had been sucked dry by something, which was very horrible.

Only then did the city lord realize that something was wrong, and hurriedly reported it to the Hehuan Sect.

Hearing this, Xie Ningyuan suddenly spoke, "This matter doesn't sound simple, but why did the sect not give a high rating after you reported it, and only sent foundation building period monks before?" ”

The city lord looked helpless, "I don't know about this!" I wrote it clearly, maybe because the female cultivators who were killed were only in the early stages of foundation building?

"To be honest, I also felt strange when I saw the foundation building period that came back last year, but thinking that the foundation building period of the sect might be more powerful than the Jindan period I had here, I didn't say anything."

Yan Zui nodded and asked, "What about after that?" ”

"Not long after I reported to the sect, another female cultivator disappeared, and then the people from the sect arrived."

"At that time, when they were tracking, they happened to encounter another female cultivator who was missing, and it seemed that they had traced some clues, but they didn't tell me, and then before they could find out a result, they said that they had something to go back to the sect first, let me wait."

The city lord spread his hands helplessly, "In this way, I have no other choice but to wait, and then another person died while waiting." ”

After a pause, he added, "Calculating the time, it has been five days since the last person died, and it is estimated that someone may die again in the next few days." ”

Luo Linlang couldn't help listening to it, "They went back, and you, the city lord, won't continue to investigate?" They can find some things just during the foundation building period, it makes no sense that you can't do anything in a primordial infancy, right? ”

The city lord had a wronged expression on his face, "This fairy, you can blame me for saying this." ”

"I have to deal with all the affairs in this city, where do I have time to stay in the squatting demon all day long?"

"I have a few Jindan periods under my command, but they also have their own things to deal with, and they are all inseparable from people."

"In the remaining foundation building period, those who are not comparable to the people of the sect, where can they have that ability?"

"And if we could, we wouldn't have asked for help from the sect in the first place, wouldn't we?"

Luo Linlang was not lightly affected by his quibbling words, but he didn't know how to refute it, so he had to throw out a sentence angrily, "...... It's all excuses! ”

She always wore a golden mask on her face that could cover the upper half of her face, which not only concealed her own aura, but also made her whole person inconspicuous.

The city lord hadn't paid much attention to her before, and only regarded her as an unimportant role.

At this time, hearing her say this, his face was a little unsightly.

"This fairy, everyone is doing things for the Hehuan Sect, I have always respected you, but it doesn't mean that you can bully me at will."

Luo Linlang frowned, "I'm just talking about things, what's good to bully or not to bully?" I'll tell you the truth, you're in a hurry, is there a ghost in your heart? ”

"That's it!" Yan Zui couldn't help but speak, then turned his head and glared at Luo Linlang, "Don't talk nonsense." ”

Luo Linlang was still a little unconvinced, but saw that Lu Sangjiu also glanced at her, asking her not to be impulsive.

She had no choice but to sit down aggrievedly, and then ...... Then the tears couldn't help but snap and start to fall.

Castle Lord: "......"

No, after she scolded people, why did she still cry???

Yan Zui coughed lightly, "I'm sorry, my friend is not sensible, not intentionally offended." ”

The city lord's face was still very heavy, but he seemed to be particularly afraid of being drunk, so as soon as she spoke, he didn't say anything more even if he was unhappy.

After that, Yan Zui asked the city owner the specific file of this matter, and the meal ended without embarrassment.

On the way back, Luo Linlang held Lu Sangjiu's arm aggrievedly, and complained to her.

"That old guy is not a good person at first glance, I think we can first take the city lord's mansion to the end, and then arrest him and torture him, maybe this case will be over!"

Lu Sang wine: "......"
