Chapter XXV: Cases of Missing Persons

Li Wei didn't understand too much about what Li Yun said about the intersection of the central area.

Li Yun explained: "Father, if you look at these crime locations, they seem to be intricate and scattered, and each crime scene seems to be far away from the Colosseum and the tide listening platform, but in fact, if you connect all the crime locations in space, you can see that they are actually centered on these two places and diverge out." ”

Li Wei pondered intently, picked up his pen, drew each place of the crime on the silk silk, and finally used a line to connect them, and sure enough, after some sketching, a dotted line map centered on the Colosseum and the Listening Tide Platform came out.

"I see. In this way, the murderers came from these two places. Li Wei's eyes lit up.

"Yes, there must be more than one murderer, hiding here, raiding people in different places every day in order to confuse the ears and eyes, and finally returning to the vicinity of these two places, of course. ”

"What are they doing plundering these young and strong men?"

"There must be a purpose. From the analysis of the industry, there are 56 in total, indicating that the industry is not in the scope of the murderer's consideration. And these people are all young and strong, and they have all practiced Xuangong, but they are all between the first Xuanyi realm and the third Xuanling realm, which is the greatest commonality. It can be seen that the murderer must use the commonality of the target to achieve a certain goal. ”

The southern central area belongs to the Chen family's sphere of influence, and it seems that only the Chen family has the strength to do this. Li Wei asked a little suspiciously.

Of course, the Chen family can't rule out suspicion, and the possibility is still very high, but they can't make a conclusion immediately. Li Yun said.

"Yes, there has to be proof. But strangely, there have been no cases of missing persons since yesterday, so it is a bit difficult to go there and catch the murderer now. Li Wei said.

"It seems that they have enough people for the time being. However, I don't think it's likely to be the Chen family, they can't be so frustrated, even if they want to make trouble, they can't commit crimes so intensively in a short period of time. Li Yun pondered.

Li Wei nodded, Chen Gangba is indeed not such a person, his behavior has been normal for so many years, it is impossible for him to become so crazy all of a sudden.

Suddenly, he remembered something and hurriedly said: "By the way, if you talk about the Chen family, there has been a big move recently! Ten days ago, the second and fourth masters of the Chen family transported dozens of mysterious beasts from Xirong, which were extremely fierce. Could it be that ... They're going to eat people?!"

Li Yun didn't know about it yet, and when he heard Li Wei mention it, he couldn't help but be stunned.

Li Wei continued: "Could it be that it is because these mysterious beasts need to eat young and strong human flesh that the Chen family robs people everywhere to feed the mysterious beasts? Moreover, the time of the disappearance is really after those mysterious beasts come in. ”

"Father, your imagination is really rich!"

"Do you really think it's what your father says?"

"It's not. ”

"Why?"

"It has been a hundred years since the Chen family's Colosseum was built, and almost all varieties of mysterious beasts have appeared there, and I have never heard of any kind of mysterious beasts that are fed solely by human flesh. If this is the case, then there must have been similar cases in history. Moreover, the Chen family is in business, and doing business is about harmony and wealth, if they make a little money but have to attach a lot of lives, it is estimated that they will not do it. Li Yun analyzed.

"It makes sense, the Chen family has been based in Tingchao City for hundreds of years, and what they pay attention to is that the tree has big roots and deep roots, and it is harmonious to generate wealth. It is indeed impossible to do such a self-digging grave. So... Who could it be?"

"Father, the case is developing, and our evidence and materials are insufficient to make a trial, and only by going to the scene to investigate can we understand the truth. Li Yun said.

"Yes, fortunately, you showed us the way, otherwise I really don't know where to start. Li Wei sighed.

"I'm going to check it out this time, too!" maybe it's not that simple," Li Yun mused.

"No! it's too dangerous!"

"It's okay, they're going to arrest people between the ages of fifteen and forty, and I'm not their target. In addition, I am a heaven-level student of Tingchao Academy, and I have my own way to save my life. Li Yun said confidently.

"It's... Fine, but you must not leave me. ”

"Good. ”

......

Listening to the city lord of Chaocheng Huang Yu like an ant on a hot pot, he was so anxious that he was turning around in the room.

He muttered: "It's over, it's over! So many cases, so many missing people, my black hat... I'm afraid there are no good days to live. ”

Countless officers and soldiers were gathering outside the city lord's mansion to resist the families of the victims who were pouring in outside.

"Give back my husband!"

"Give back my wife!"

"Give back my son!"

"Give back my father!"

"Daughter, you're so miserable..."

Li Yun and Li Wei came to the City Lord's Mansion, and when they saw such a situation in front of the mansion, they couldn't help but feel a sense of sadness in their hearts.

Hurriedly took a detour, entered through the back door of the City Lord's Mansion, and walked quickly to Huang Yu's place.

"Mr. Li, Mr. Li has arrived!"

Huang Yu was stunned for a moment, quickly turned around and rushed out, crying and said, "Mr. Li, how is it good?" Ah, Li Gongzi, my God, I am saved, come in quickly!"

Seeing Li Yun, Huang Yu was like a drowning man who had caught a life-saving straw, and immediately grabbed Li Yun's hands tightly, refusing to relax anymore, in his opinion, the one he could rely on at this moment was probably Li Yun.

"Lee... Childe, have you heard about it?" asked Huang Yu eagerly.

"Not bad. ”

"How's it going? Can you find the missing person?"

"Well, at present, I have found a clue to trace it, but I still have to cooperate with the City Lord's Mansion to investigate. Li Yun said.

"Okay! Great! Whatever you need, whatever you need, how to arrange for you, I will definitely let people fully cooperate. ”

"City Lord, this case is a big case, and in my opinion, the murderer has a lot of ambitions. I'm afraid that what is happening at the moment is only the tip of the iceberg. Therefore, we must not mess around. Li Yun said.

"It's... Do you think there is something more terrible to happen?" Huang Yu was stunned, his fat hands trembled a little, and Li Yun was shaken.

"Well, if I'm not bad as expected, I'm afraid this matter will involve the safety of the entire Tingchao City, and even the entire southern region of the empire. Li Yun said slowly.

"There's... So terrible?!" Huang Yu and Li Wei were dumbfounded and asked at the same time.

"Yes, the murderer dares to commit crimes so fearlessly and intensively, treating people as if they were nothing, and there must be a huge force behind them. By doing so, they must be detrimental to Tingchao City. At present, it is necessary to tighten the city defenses, order the city guards to closely monitor the personnel and materials coming and going, and report any abnormalities in time. At the same time, spies are dispersed throughout the city to search for suspicious people. The staff of the Criminal Division and the Legal Division of the city government need to organize personnel to conduct a more detailed investigation of the families of the missing people to see if they have been in contact with any suspicious persons. Now, the critical moment has come for the investigation of the case, and all personnel must be mobilized. Li Yun said.

"Just... According to the words of the child, I will immediately order. ”

Huang Yu hurried out, and after a while, brought a man in.

"Li Gongzi, I have gone down as you said. This is Qin Yi, the director of the Criminal Division of the City Lord's Mansion, let the city government special guard led by him assist you in solving the case. Huang Yu said.

"Okay, Director Qin, I don't know how many people you have?" asked Li Yun.

"Li Gongzi, just call me Qin Yi, there are one hundred and eight people in our special guard, all of whom are carefully selected, well-equipped with mystical weapons, and skilled in mysteries. ”

Li Wei said on the side: "Yun'er, Director Qin is a master in the early stage of the Eighth Xuangong Realm, and his cultivation is comparable to Chen Gangba, the head of the Chen family, and he is one of the masters I have heard of in Chaocheng. The group of special guards under his command have cultivated from the third level of the Xuanling realm to the seventh level of the Xuanling realm, and their combat power is amazing, and they are the elite team of my Tingchao City. ”

Qin Yi heard Li Wei say this, a smug smile appeared on his face, and said: "Mr. Li has won the award, the matter of eating the king, the matter of loyalty to the king, our special guard has been practicing hard every day, just to be able to serve the country in times of crisis, and now that we have this opportunity, it is the time for us to play." ”

"Director Qin has worked hard! This time the situation is urgent, please cooperate with Li Gongzi to investigate this case and arrest the murderer behind the scenes!" Huang Yu said.

"City Lord, rest assured, Qin Yi will do his best!"

"Wait!" Li Yun said suddenly.

The three of them were stunned and looked at Li Yun in confusion.

"City Lord, I'm afraid that the special guard team of Director Qin alone will not be able to cope with the current situation at all. I think you must report to Gale County right away and send a large army over. At the same time, send an urgent report to the imperial capital that there may be military intelligence. Li Yun said.

"It's... Yun'er, are you sure?!" Li Wei asked in surprise.

"Sure, to be sure!" Li Yun nodded.

"Okay! everything is according to what Li Gongzi said!" Huang Yu's face changed drastically, and his clothes were soaked with sweat.

"Gongzi Li, what about the families of those missing people outside?" Qin Yi asked.

"Build a shed for them, and provide them with good wine and food, and they will naturally not make trouble again. Moreover, don't drive them away, let the people behind the scenes be paralyzed, so that the people's hearts can be more stable. ”

"Yes!"

......

Li Yun, Li Wei, and Qin Yi soon came to the vicinity of the Colosseum in the south.

The Colosseum is located in the most prosperous area in the south of Tingchao City, not far from Tingchaotai, and the two echo each other from afar.

These two places are the big industries of the Chen family, and they are making money for the Chen family.

When the three of them came, it was already noon, only to see people coming and going on the road, bustling, not far away the tide of the river surrounded, the sails on the river shadow dotted, there are a few painting boats floating on the river, the lanterns are colorful, the warblers are singing and swallowing, it is eye-catching.

There are many shops on both sides of the road, eating, drinking, and having fun, and everything is strange, making it a good place to play.

According to Li Yun's intentions, the special guards of the city government have disguised themselves as ordinary people and scattered to the surrounding area.

"Li Gongzi, there is the Colosseum in front, shall we go in, or..." Qin Yi asked.

"Since you are here to investigate, of course you have to go in, but don't alarm the Chen family, so as not to startle the snake. Li Yun pondered.

"Good!"

The three of them followed the flow of people and soon came to the Colosseum.

When Li Yun looked at it, he secretly exclaimed in his heart: "Big enough! Magnificent enough!"

I saw that this is a multi-storey building with a circular structure, the outer walls are made of jade, the eaves on the wall are light, the beasts and birds are carved, lifelike, dazzling.

It occupies a very large area, with multiple entrances and exits, each of which is guarded.

The three of them entered from the north gate, only to see that there were many mysterious beasts along the way, which were both displayed and sold, and they were all businesses controlled by the Chen family.

After paying the entrance fee, the three of them entered the inside, but found that the space suddenly opened up, only to see that the top was open-air, surrounded by multi-level seats, which could accommodate tens of thousands of people, and there were ten giant Colosseum platforms in the middle of the venue.

Among them, the highest one is the main Colosseum, which is 30 zhang high, and the other nine are 15 zhang high, surrounding the main Colosseum, like the stars and the moon, which is amazing.

At this time, the Colosseum was already full of people and lively.
