Xifu used his real power to investigate, and there was a strong smell of blood there, "There are dead people there!"

"Then let's go and see, I don't know if it's a young woman again. "Twelve Niang made a decision.

The people of Xifu went against the flow of people and walked towards the river, fortunately, there was a big man turned into a Qinnu to open the way in front, otherwise they would definitely be rushed by the chaotic flow of people and unable to move forward.

Sure enough, there was a female corpse lying by the river, dressed in pink, and from a distance, I could see a large patch of red on her chest, which was the color of blood.

The two Yongcheng mages saw a few people coming, and one of them shouted: "The City Lord's Mansion is handling the case, and the idlers are not close!"

One of them also whispered something to the speaker, and he didn't need to listen carefully, just by looking at the look in his eyes, he knew that it was not a good word.

"He said, there's a youkai!" said Chennu in a whisper without looking back.

Several people stood three feet away from the body and stopped.

Twelve Niang walked forward slowly, and said with a smile from a distance: "The two mages have worked hard, you should know me," Twelve Niang said while taking off the big hat of the cloak, and the green silk like a waterfall hung out, "I often go to the city lord's mansion!"

"It turned out to be the Twelve Niangs of the Sword Immortals, of course I know, of course I know!" An older man in gray stood up and waved at the Twelve Niangren, the younger one didn't make any moves, and there was contempt in his eyes.

Twelve Niang could understand the young mage's mind at a glance: "After all, isn't it just a prostitute, as for such a small mention?" "Can the two mages allow us to take a closer look, too many young women have died in the past six months, and I am uneasy every day, and there are all kinds of rumors, so I want to see for myself what is going on!"

The older mage nodded, agreeing to come closer.

The young mage pointed to the black beast boy and Qin Nu behind Twelve Niang, and asked, "Are they also with you?", with an unfriendly look in his eyes.

"Exactly, exactly. These two are the nurses I hired recently, isn't it not peaceful, so I paid a high price to hire these two masters!", Twelve Niang's lies were extremely natural and flawless. He also turned around and squeezed his eyes at the black beast boy, for fear that these two princes would not give face to the scene.

"Did you know they're not human?" the young mage still had no intention of accommodating.

"Thank you, Master, for reminding me, I know that. The city lord of this Yongcheng city has never been distinguished by race, and all good people can enter the city, does the mage have an opinion on the decree signed by the city lord himself?" Twelve Niang's face showed an unhappy look, she has always been in and out of the city lord's mansion, everyone will admire her on the surface, and call her a "sword fairy lady", but she was pushed back by such a young man, she was really angry.

The young mage was about to speak again, but the older mage patted the former on the back, and the former did not speak again, but retreated to the other side of the corpse.

Twelve Niang led a few people to the corpse.

This is a fourteen or fifteen-year-old girl, her face is full of muddy water, she can't see clearly, her body is on the shore, so her clothes are not too muddy water, the original color can still be seen clearly, it is a peach blossom-like pink, and she is wearing the most popular white boots on her feet, and the edges of the boots are embroidered with golden flower and bird patterns.

Twelve Niang rushed to the front and stared at the chest of the deceased, where the flesh and blood were blurred, and she couldn't determine whether it was as rumored to say: the deceased were all killed by the removal of their hearts. Twelve Niang Chong Xifu said, "Can you see her heart?"

Before Xifu could use his divine sense to investigate, the black beast boy replied, "No!"

"Can you see any clues to solve the case? I can only see a looming demonic aura. Xifu asked the black beast boy in a low voice.

"There is a demonic spirit, that's right, judging from the smoothness of the wound, this monster has a sharp palm, and the position is extremely accurate, it must be a veteran!"

The two mages looked at each other, and the older one walked up to the black beast boy, clasped his fists and saluted: "What this prince said is very true, deaths like this, in the past six months, there have been eighteen cases, no, plus this is already nineteen cases." ”

The black beast boy Earth Eye Mage raised his legs and walked in front of the corpse and circled.

Judging by the deceased's expression, it seemed that she had not yet noticed the danger coming, and that it was all over. That is, it is possible that the deceased knew the monster, or it is possible that the monster has an invisible method, and the deceased cannot see it at all."

"Usually long-term invisibility requires strong mana, but a powerful demon clan, it is impossible to snatch the heart of mortals with such a rough technique, it must not be a powerful demon clan, if it is not a powerful demon clan, it is a talent, and some monsters do not need to cultivate much to have long-term invisible magical powers."

Xifu nodded, this knowledge, she has heard the demon lord talk about, it is true, and the monsters with the talent of invisible supernatural powers are usually very weak, and no matter how much they cultivate, it is difficult to become a powerful monster. The Heavenly Dao is constant, and the invisible supernatural power is more like a compensation given by the heavens to it for not being able to cultivate further.

"When it comes to monsters with innate invisible powers, there are only eight or nine kinds of monsters in the world, and it should be easier to track them down. Xifu whispered.

The young mage stood up and solemnly clasped his fists at the others, "Thank you for providing such a valuable clue, thank you!" and then whispered to the older mage.

Xifu can feel that the attitude of the young mage has changed dramatically, and he really respects them and his group, some people in the world are like this, they only believe in practicality, as long as you have strength, they will respect you from the bottom of their hearts, if you are not as strong as him, he will treat you like dung. There are not a few such people in the Immortal Cultivation Realm, and they represent a mainstream value in the Immortal Cultivation Realm.

Everyone present did not have a good impression of this young man in gray, and no one returned the salute.

Xifu politely clenched his fists: "Mage doesn't have to be polite, I'm just telling the truth, if it helps you to chase the murderer, we are also very happy." ”

The young man in gray went away and went to the city lord's mansion to move troops, leaving the elderly mage here to guard the scene of the murder.

"This kind of murder has been going on for half a year, and there are still no clues at all?", Twelve Niang asked with a puzzled face, "Isn't it true that the City Lord's Mansion intends to shield the murderer as rumored to be?"

The elder mage's face changed on the spot when she asked him, he became red, and his eyes were about to stand up, but after a while, his face returned to normal, and he said in a low voice: "In any case, there has been no result for half a year, and we do have real responsibility, but as for the rumors, the sword fairy lady should just listen to them as a joke, how can the rumors be fully believed." You have also seen our lord of the city, not to say that he loves the people like sons, at least he also governs the city according to the law, and before the law, all living beings are equal, how can he shield the murderer? What is the benefit of the dignified city lord shielding a serial murderer? Besides, there is only one young girl in the city lord's family, who is twelve years old, has a docile temperament, is raised in the deep boudoir, and rarely goes out, so it is impossible for him to commit these things!"

Xifu nodded, thinking deeply, this old mage is really not an ordinary person, suppressing his anger, and explaining it is reasonable and convincing, this is not the cultivation that ordinary people have.

Even the martyr Twelve Niang had to agree: "What the mage said is very true, I didn't speak too much, and I hope the mage will not blame." However, the rumors are circulating, and it is not good for the city lord's mansion in the end, and the people are also panicking, so it is better to catch the murderer as soon as possible!"

Xifu shook his head, this Twelve Niang is really a thorny flower, and even asking for forgiveness is so aggressive. However, Xifu can also see that speaking so hurtful is not the usual style of Twelve Niang, she is also concerned about it.

"Why do you care so much about this kind of murder?" asked Twelve Niang in a whisper on the way back.

"You don't know, among so many people who died, they were all young girls, the eldest was only eighteen or nineteen, the younger one was only eleven or twelve, and six of them were all prostitutes, all of whom had not left the cabinet or had not appeared. Among them, there are three children I know, good children who are alive, and they died in the blink of an eye, how can you not care? Many of my disciples are afraid to go out at night, and many of them are absent from my Sword Dance Club because of this. ”

Xifu nodded in understanding. However, she also knows that this kind of case is indeed too difficult to investigate, the murderer has a talent for stealth, and he has not left any clues, so it is easier said than done, and it is normal to drag on for half a year.

When they walked to the Three Provinces Inn, the Su family father and son were meditating in the room.

Then the group went to the inn where Feng Hu stayed, there was no light in Feng Hu's house, and when they heard that their sister knocked on the door, they lit the lights and opened the door. When Xifu made it clear that he wanted to invite him to visit the night market with him, he immediately agreed.

It's not that Feng Hu likes to visit the night market, but that there are more people to chat and have a look, and the night will be easier to pass.

A group of six people, through the crowded main street, walked to a small wharf, on the wharf parked a few small boats, all wooden boats, on which a beautiful wooden pavilion of similar style was placed, the pavilion was placed with tea utensils and melons and fruits, for people to sit and chat, outside the wooden pavilion there was a girl or person playing the pipa or piano, softly singing a tactful song, the boatmen were mostly sturdy middle-aged men.

Twelve Niang took everyone to sit on such a small painting boat, the wind of the winter night was a little cool, but in addition to Twelve Niang, none of them were afraid of the cold, Twelve Niang was fully armed, the cloak was very thick, and the hat was tied tightly, although it was a little cold on the water, but Twelve Niang has always been happy, and it was really a beautiful enjoyment to enjoy the winter solstice Shuchengqing in Yongcheng on the water.

Looking at the people coming and going on the shore through the water vapor, through the action of water vapor and water surface, there is a kind of transcendent tranquility. In particular, there is a theater pavilion on the water, there is one every one or two miles, listening to those operas on the water, there is a unique ethereal and beautiful.
