Chapter 21: The Man in the Black Robe

What Li Huaiyun saw was a mutilated face, a face full of scars, a large red scar on the top of his head, a little hair growing sporadically on it, and no part of his entire face, including his neck, was intact, much like a person who had been severely burned.

This terrifying appearance, as long as you look at it, will make your hair stand up.

"Look at you like this, you should have died once!"

The black-robed man hid his face again, "That's natural, but I will double this pain to Da Zhou." ”

It seems that it is likely that he has been persecuted in Da Zhou and has a certain status.

Li Huaiyun actually thought that when he saw this person's true face, he might be able to find this person's true identity with his appearance, but now that he has that terrible face, this hope has been dashed.

Li Huaiyun also wanted to get some information, "Your Excellency should have been wronged!" If you can tell me something, I can overturn the case for you!" ”

The black-robed man laughed coldly, "Hmph! You are the person who slays the demon division, and you are not Dali Temple, why help me. ”

"You just want to know more!"

Li Huaiyun raised the corners of his mouth and said with a smile, "That's true!" But I'm a dying man, so why don't you tell me everything, including what you're plotting? ”

"You guys?" The black-robed man was silent for a moment, "It looks like you've found something!" You're quite capable! ”

Li Huaiyun nodded, "Thank you!" This affirmation of yours is an appreciation to me. ”

"Then thank me when you get underground!"

"Okay! I'll find them, thank you! ”

The black-robed man gritted his teeth and crunched, and his words were always so unexpected.

"They were burned to death, too!" Li Huaiyun could clearly see the body under the black robe, trembling slightly.

"So, I can help your family settle their grievances."

"Humph! How many bites? A family of more than 30 was burned to death by fire overnight! How can a low-level demon hunter like you be able to manage it! ”

"You'd better go on the road with peace of mind!"

The black-robed man straightened up, his shadow suddenly began to lengthen, and then struck at Li Huaiyun, and as long as the shadow passed through the planks and paper on the ground, none of them were cut in half.

The shadow was aimed directly at Li Huaiyun's head, and he turned his head slightly, and the shadow slid over his face, leaving a slender cut on his face.

Bright red blood slowly flowed from the wound.

"What!" The black-robed man's body leaned forward, "You actually unlocked the immobilization technique." ”

"Immobilization! It's a nice name to get," Li Huaiyun wiped the wound on his face, and a smug smile appeared on his face, "It's just a silver needle pierced into the boot and sealed the acupuncture points of the human body's feet, as long as I am lucky, the silver needles on the acupuncture points will be bounced away!" ”

The black-robed man replied in a slightly surprised voice. "I can't believe you even know this!"

"My aunt has done this to me before."

"It seems that she is not simple!"

"No, she's just a female doctor who treats people and takes medicine."

As soon as Li Huaiyun finished speaking, he immediately turned sideways, rolled to the side, rolled a few times, and then half-squatted there.

The shadow just now circled back from a distance.

The shadow that this guy is manipulating is supposed to be some kind of special cloth that can be released and retracted at any time, and there is something sharp hidden in it that can cut something open

"Anyone who is about to die is lying! I should have dealt you a hard hand just now. ”

"I'm not lying, it's you who are dying."

"Humph! If you don't know how to fix yourself, you think you're amazing! What are you capable of dealing with me. ”

"Then try!"

Li Huaiyun clenched his fists and ran up quickly, avoiding the flying black shadows from time to time, although his clothes were scratched a few times because of hiding these things, he had already narrowed the distance between him and the black-robed man.

This opponent should not be good at getting close, and on that basis, he has hope of defeating the opponent.

"Who the hell are you and why are you here?"

"Do you really think I'm going to answer you?" The black-robed man was already floating in the air, and his body was rapidly retreating, and soon retreated under the willow tree.

He stretched out his arms, pulled up the cuffs, revealing his burned, scarred arms, and squatted down, and when he slapped the ground, the whole alley suddenly fell silent, and the ground began to shake slowly.

Looking at the cracked ground in front of him, many pairs of rotten arms stretched out, Li Huaiyun subconsciously jumped back.

It's another trick! He landed in a safe place and pointed at the black-robed man, "You're the Yin Sorcerer!" ”

The black-robed man, who was already clinging to the trunk of the willow tree, let out a penetrating smile, "You know enough. ”

"I can't keep you anymore!" Just when the black-robed man wanted to really do it, several more people rushed to this alley.

In order not to be exposed, the black-robed man's attack came to an abrupt halt, "Spare your life this time, next time, you won't be so lucky!" ”

When the black-robed man slowly disappeared into the trunk of the tree, after that, there was no longer any breath.

Ah Tian and several other demon hunters arrived at the scene, and when they saw Li Huaiyun standing in the alley, they stepped forward to ask.

"I'm fine!" Li Huaiyun waved his hand with his back to them, his eyes looked at the willow tree in the alley, and pondered for a long time.

Seeing that he was still standing there, Ah Tian stepped forward and asked in a low voice, "Ah Yun!" What happened to you? ”

"It's nothing, it's just a little bit bad!"

"Did you track down the man in the black robe?"

Li Huaiyun shook his head, "No! Let him run away, this guy has come and gone without a trace. What is certain, though, is that guy should be a sorcerer. ”

He turned his head to look at Ah Tian, "Is there anything else you found in the mansion of the military department officials?" ”

"Not yet! However, it is necessary to investigate in depth. Ah Tian responded, he suddenly remembered something, "By the way, there is still a wing room left that has not been checked, do you need to go back to check?" ”

"Back!"

They returned to the mansion and went to the official's chamber to check for any other clues.

Ah Tian followed, "After you chased out, you really didn't see the person in the black robe?" ”

"Yes, but it's only a simple conversation, and I only know that this person is here for revenge"

"Revenge, to whom?"

"I don't know!" He can't say that he is taking revenge on Da Zhou! "I'll talk about it when I go back and report to the secretary."

They walked into the wing, which was dressed and furnished like the rest of the house, and was silent.

Li Huaiyun walked around the room, and finally sat down at the table opposite the door, on which was a tablecloth woven of precious silk.

He tapped his fingers on the table, making a crisp sound, and kept thinking about the ins and outs of the whole case.

At that moment, he saw an envelope pressed under the candlestick in the middle of the table, on which nothing was written.

Li Huaiyun picked up the envelope and took out the paper inside, but he didn't expect it to be an invitation letter from the Department of Education, which said that the content was rough, that is, he hoped that this official would go to the restaurant next to the Weihe River during the Lantern Festival.

Judging from the delicate handwriting above, the person who wrote this letter must have been a woman, and the strength of holding the pen and inscription was relatively light, and there was no force to penetrate the paper.

It's just that there is no signature on it, and I don't know who wrote it!

Li Huaiyun folded his chin inwardly, "Looking at the content of the letter, this guy won't have a leg with Oiran, right?" ”

"Highly likely!" Ah Tian walked up, sat aside, and looked at the envelope in his hand, "Maybe it's a plot to meet in the restaurant to discuss things!" ”

"If that were the case, this envelope should have been burned a long time ago, how could it have been put on the table, pressed only by a candlestick."

Forehead! Ah Tian was a little speechless for a moment, and casually found an idea, "Could it be that it was too late and was taken away by our people." ”

"There is another possibility!"

Ah Tian immediately asked, "What other possibility is there?" ”

"It's just that the contents of this envelope are too ordinary, and if it is burned, it will attract unnecessary attention."

"That's right!"

Li Huai clapped his hands vigorously, "Hurry up and contact the boss, so that the boss must pay attention to this lantern festival, it may be dangerous." ”

"Good!"

Before leaving, they checked again at the official's residence, and there was basically nothing left except for the clues they had found before.

They slipped out of the mansion and walked down the street, Li Huaiyun said, "It seems that it is necessary at night, go to this lantern festival to have a look, maybe you can find clues in that restaurant." ”

"That's just right!" Ah Tian smiled and nodded in response, this Lantern Festival, he had agreed with his sweetheart a few days ago that he was going to the Lantern Festival.

Li Huaiyun held back a glance at Ah Tian, and found that a smirk appeared on his face inadvertently, and he pushed Ah Tian, "What are you thinking?" Are you so happy? ”

"Of course, I just took my sweetheart to the Lantern Festival." Ah Tian responded, and he patted Li Huaiyun on the shoulder.

"This is an investigation! You're really an event for the Lantern Festival! ”

Ah Tian responded with a smile, "Do you want to think that there is a team heavily guarded, plus the people of the Demon Slayer Division, those monsters or the black-robed people, can you go back to that kind of place?" ”

Li Huaiyun scratched his neck and pointed at Ah Tian, "You kid, you are very thoughtful in this regard!" ”

"That's it!" Ah Tian replied with a smug face, "When are you going to find someone you like!" Otherwise, it would be boring to come to the lantern festival alone. ”

"I'm definitely not going to come to the Lantern Festival alone, besides, this Lantern Festival is made by the Sect Division, and I take my sweetheart to go, why do I always feel like I'm fattening my sweetheart!"

When Ah Tian was said like this, his eyebrows immediately straightened, and he glared angrily at Li Huaiyun, a guy full of nonsense, "You bastard, what are you talking about!" ”

"Oh! No! I'm just talking about my opinion. ”

They returned to the Demon Slayer Division and went directly to the council hall to report what had happened to the Ministry of War officials.

At this time, there was only one person in the council hall, and after listening to what they said, Qin Gang couldn't sit still, standing in the middle with his hands on his shoulders.

"It seems that it is necessary to interrogate this military official, this guy must know something, just pretending to be innocent."

Li Huaiyun clenched his fists, bowed down and said, "Si Zheng, you still need to go through those files to see if there is a case of more than 30 members of a family being burned to death, I think that behind this person, there must be some other cases involved." ”

"I'll send someone to check on this." Qin Gang nodded and glanced at Li Huaiyun, "Are you really okay?" It stands to reason that the cultivation of that black-robed man must be above you, and it didn't work against you at that time? ”
