"Don't talk as if my senior brother is some kind of city lord killer." Ye Zhizhi said angrily to Zhou Tianmin, "My senior brother has said that your father committed suicide in fear of sin. ”

Zhou Tianmin snorted coldly, "Who knows if what he said is true or not!" ”

Ye Zhizhi has already hinted at this, and Zhou Tianmin has not yet understood it, so he can only say that he is indeed not very smart.

Huang Ruyu on the side came out to play a round and said, "I have already sent a message to my father before, and he is now waiting for you in the mansion, let's go in quickly!" ”

The group entered the City Lord's Mansion, where Zhou Tianmin was still chattering at Huang Ruyu: "You have to be careful, your father is very dangerous!" ”

Huang Ruyu laughed, "My father is sitting upright, there is nothing to worry about." ”

At this time, Zhou Tianmin's heart was stuffed, he closed himself and stopped talking.

Seeing this, the corners of Ye Zhizhi's mouth twitched, and he only felt that he really didn't know how to look at people's eyes.

She looked up at Jiang Huaiyi beside her, and saw that Jiang Huaiyi's expression was calm and cold, and she didn't seem to care about all this.

The group came outside the study.

Huang Ruyu walked into the study and called out to the middle-aged monk sitting inside, "Father." ”

Huang Yingping, the city lord of Yinchuan City, put down the bamboo slip in his hand and looked up, and saw Ye Zhizhi, Jiang Huaiyi and his party hurriedly got up to greet them, "Presumably this is Jiang Zhenren of Tianwen Sect!" ”

He accurately identified Jiang Huaiyi in the crowd, "Please sit here, come and serve tea!" ”

"I have heard that Jiang Zhenren broke the case of the disappearance of a woman born in the lunar calendar in Chicheng fifty years ago, and the same incident happened in Yinchuan this time, with the help of Lao Jiang Zhenren, we will solve this case as soon as possible!" City Lord Huang Yingping solemnly asked Jiang Huaiyi to say.

Jiang Huaiyi replied, "I will." ”

Hearing this, Huang Yingping had a smile on his face, "Then I'll bother Jiang Zhenren!" ”

After leaving from the city lord Huang Yingping, Zhou Tianmin said with a strange face: "How is it? See what's coming, is the Yellow City Lord a suspect? ”

Ye Zhizhi annoyed him, and directly scolded back: "You think everyone is like you, suspicious and suspicious?" Even if you want to be skeptical, you must pay attention to the Basic Law. What can you see just from that face? ”

"Rest assured, my father will never be a murderer." Huang Ruyu said, "Every city lord of Yinchuan City has sworn that if he violates the teachings of his ancestors and does unrighteous things, he will be punished by heaven. ”

Hearing this, everyone suddenly looked sideways.

Zhou Tianmin opened his mouth, then lowered his head and said, "I'm sorry......"

Huang Ruyu smiled and didn't care, "This is the time when Yinchuan City was founded, at that time, the environment of Yinchuan City was even more sinister than now, the desert was full of ferocious and terrifying monsters, and humans lived in a corner, and built a small city to defend themselves and huddle together for warmth." ”

In this difficult situation, the first lord of Yinchuan City made this oath and borrowed from heaven to lead the residents of Yinchuan City through the most dangerous period, which has been passed down from generation to generation. Since then, every city lord of Yinchuan City has to make an oath to the Heavenly Dao. ”

This is the consciousness of human survival in a wild and remote place, the more dangerous the environment is not easy to survive, the more we understand that survival is the first element to tide over the difficulties together.

"What did you all look out?" Jiang Huaiyi raised her eyes and looked at Feng Yuan, Huang Ruyu, and Xue Ningshuang and asked.

"Let me explain!" Feng Yuan opened his mouth and said, "I, Huang Daoyou, Xue Daoyou, and several other Daoists investigated this matter together, but before I could find out anything, several other Daoists were killed one after another, leaving only me, Huang Daoyou, and Xue Daoyou still alive." ”

Speaking of this, the expressions on the faces of Huang Ruyu and Xue Ningshuang on the side were also gloomy.

For a while, the atmosphere was heavy.

Even Zhou Tianmin, who has never been able to read the air, did not make an ignorant sound, and was rarely quiet.

"Have you ever wondered why you survived?" Seeing that no one spoke, Ye Zhizhi had to go on her own, and she pointed this out.

Feng Yuan, Huang Ruyu, and Xue Ningshuang were stunned when they heard this, "Is there any reason for this?" ”

They hadn't thought about it before.

Ye Zhizhi raised his eyebrows, looked at them and said, "Do you think it's your luck?" ”

“……”

“……”

“……”

Feng Yuan, Huang Ruyu, and Xue Ningshuang were silent for a moment, they really felt so.

"Isn't it?" On the side, Zhou Tianmin said in an innocent tone, "Everyone else is dead, only they survive, isn't this their fate?" ”

Ye Zhizhi looked at him with a deep look in his eyes, you, you are really not very smart!

"Senior Brother Feng is the inner disciple of Tianwen Sect, Huang Daoyou is the son of the city lord, and Xue Daoyou's identity is also extraordinary, right?" Ye Zhizhi reminded them.

Xue Ningshuang was stunned for a moment, and then said, "My father is an elder of the Medicine King Valley. ”

"That's it!" Ye Zhizhi said, "I think the identities of those friends who died should be ordinary, such as scattered cultivators, or disciples of small sects?" ”

Hearing this, Feng Yuan, Huang Ruyu and Xue Ningshuang were stunned.

Then the expression on his face was complicated.

"No, no!" Zhou Tianmin shouted on the side, "It's really right for her, does the murderer behind the scenes still depend on his identity?" Dogs look down on people! ”

"It's a warning." At this time, Feng Yuan also reacted, he looked ugly and said, "He is warning us not to pursue it any further." ”

"That's right, the murderer behind the scenes is killing chickens and monkeys!" Ye Zhizhi said with a look of approval, "The monks of the small sect, or the casual cultivators, die and no one cares. ”

"But if the son of the city lord, or an important disciple of the great sect dies, then he will cause endless trouble, so the real culprit behind the scenes is warning you not to investigate."

Speaking of this, Ye Zhizhi smiled, "But he definitely didn't expect that you would go to move the rescuers." ”

Hearing this, the expression on Feng Yuan's face suddenly became a little embarrassed.

He is a junior brother in the master's gate, and he is used to asking the senior brother above for help when he encounters trouble, and he has no psychological baggage, so this time after several Taoist friends died one after another, he really coaxed and retreated. But if he wants to give up like this, he is not reconciled.

He also wants to avenge his dead friend and find out the real culprit behind the scenes!

Feng Yuan felt that he couldn't handle it, so he decisively returned to the sect to move the rescuers.

He originally wanted to see if he could find out any useful information from Jiang Huaiyi, but he didn't expect Jiang Huaiyi to directly offer to help, so he naturally nodded and agreed immediately without saying a word.

"Still."

Ye Zhizhi looked at Feng Yuan, Huang Ruyu, and Xue Ningshuang in front of him, and asked a question, "Why are you investigating this case." ”

Hearing this, the three of them were stunned.

"Since you know that someone is secretly kidnapping an innocent girl, you naturally can't turn a blind eye!" Feng Yuan said with a righteous face.

Ye Zhizhi looked at him and changed his words, "In the beginning, how did you find out that there was a girl in the city who disappeared for no reason? ”

Feng Yuan was stunned.

At this time, Huang Ruyu said, "I found it." ”

"The daughter of a tavern I frequented was lost, and when I saw that the tavern owner was frowning and asked him what was going on, the tavern owner told me that his daughter had been lost not long ago." Huang Ruyu said, "I went with Feng Daoyou, Xue Daoyou and several other friends to find the boss's lost daughter, but I accidentally found that a lot of girls had been lost in the city in the past six months. ”

They sense that something is wrong and continue to investigate, and as soon as they find out that the lost girls are all born in the lunar calendar, their friends are killed one after another.

After hearing this, Ye Zhizhi said, "I see. ”

Then she asked the question, "Is the owner of the tavern okay?" ”

Hearing this, Huang Ruyu was stunned.

Then I realized something, and my face changed dramatically!
