Chapter 85: The Case of Lost Babies
The news that the Third Highness Long Hao was canonized as the Holy Prince was soon transmitted to the various prefectures of the Heavenly Dragon Empire, causing a great sensation throughout the country, and the influence continued to ferment.
Especially in the Tianlong Imperial Capital, it is even more joyful, people run to tell each other, to the streets, houses, trees... Wrap up in festive attire.
Moreover, just today, there was even a good news in the imperial capital, the Qingyuanmen Immortal Master Wuwuzi, who was supposed to come to the Tianlong Empire to select immortal seedlings a month later, actually arrived in advance!
This made the genius teenagers who had already gathered in the imperial capital overjoyed, and the major families began to prepare one after another to participate in the immortal seedling selection ceremony.
"Master Sanssouci is here?!"
Li Yun was a little surprised when he received the news from His Royal Highness.
"Master, are you going to meet him right away, or will you go back when you are going to pick the fairy seedlings?" asked Xiaoxing.
"Hmm... Let's go check it out first, and give him a vat of wine by the way, hehe. ”
Li Yun was a little excited, and immediately controlled the jade and headed towards the palace.
According to the news of the Third Highness, the Immortal Master of Sanssouci was arranged to rest in the palace of the former national teacher Wuliangzi, so Li Yun flew quickly in the direction he pointed out.
......
In a side hall of the Imperial Palace, an immortal master with an immortal wind and bones was playing with two palace maids.
"Haha, haha! Don't run, good..."
"Immortal Master, come, have a drink..."
A palace maid with a full body of charm carried a glass of wine, brought it to the immortal master's mouth, and slowly poured it in.
"Hee-hee, Immortal Master, you have a good amount of alcohol, um... You're so bad!"
The palace maid's hand trembled, and the remaining wine in the cup spilled onto the immortal master's glittering robe.
"Okay... It seems that you deliberately helped me untie it and throw it aside... Haha..."
"Well... Immortal Master, your hand?!"
"What's wrong with my hand... Baby... You're so tender here..."
The two women and one man were having fun on the big jade chair, and they were stunned by Li Yun and Xiaoxing who were watching outside the window.
"Master, this is still... Master Sanssouci, Master?" Xiao Xing was shocked.
"It's... It looks the same, but this way of playing..."Li Yun was also a little hesitant.
"No, his cultivation seems to only have the appearance of the seventh layer of qi refining, and it is impossible for him to be carefree at all. Xiaoxing concluded.
was reminded by Xiaoxing, Li Yun immediately paid attention to the cultivation of this immortal master, and sure enough, looking at his appearance, he was just slightly taller than Yang Qian.
Moreover, it seems that the foundation is very shallow, but it seems to be promoted by medicine, if you really fight with Yang Qian, it is estimated that you can't beat it.
"What the hell is going on?!" Li Yun was a little confused.
Looking at the 'carefree child' who was having a good time on the jade chair, Li Yun had an idea, flew in, and searched all rooms.
"Qingyuan door robes, big gourds, waist cards... Hey, why is it written on the waist card that says Cao Teng?!Four generations of disciples?!"
Li Yun finally discovered the truth.
"Haha, this fourth-generation disciple of the Qingyuan Sect, Cao Teng, actually pretended to be a carefree son and came to the Heavenly Dragon Empire to deceive!" Li Yun laughed.
"Hehe, however, I also have to admire that he is brave enough to dare to pretend to be carefree, if he is found by the real carefree, I am afraid that the end will be worrying. Xiaoxing smiled.
"That's true. It's only been a little more than a month since Sanssouci came to pick the fairy seedlings, and it's really admirable that this guy dares to come to fight the autumn breeze in advance. ”
"Master, it's a little strange that he really looks like him, and even has almost the same penchant for drinking. The appearance of this appearance is almost the same, no wonder the people in the Tianlong Dynasty have been deceived by him. ”
"Hmph, this guy actually dares to come to fight Qiu Feng, I want to teach him a lesson, first take away all his outfits!"
Li Yun smiled and packed Cao Teng's things, turned to leave.
......
"How did Guan Zheng come to my house?"
As soon as Li Yun came back, he found that Guan Zheng and Zhao Yu of the Criminal Health Department and his father Li Wei were all in the room, and their faces did not seem to be very good.
He walked in and said, "Hello uncle! Uncle Zhao is good! Father is good!"
"Childe is back!" Guan Zheng's eyes lit up.
"I just went outside for a spin. I wonder what you're talking about?"
"Hey, Childe doesn't know, recently our Criminal Health Department has been disturbed by a big case, so I can't find you!" Guan Zheng sighed.
"Big case?!, let's hear about it. Li Yun's eyes lit up.
"For many days in a row, there have been reports of missing babies everywhere, and now it has made the imperial capital panic!"
"Where's the file?"
Zhao Yu immediately handed Li Yun the stack of thick files he brought.
Li Yun took it, concentrated slightly, and quickly flipped through it.
After a few moments, put the file aside and close your eyes in meditation.
"Childe, how is it?" Guan Zheng asked a little hesitantly when he saw Li Yun finish reading it so quickly.
"Although these cases occurred in various places in the imperial capital, it can be determined that the same person committed them. Li Yun judged.
"The same person?!Why did Childe make such a conclusion?" Zhao Yu said in astonishment.
"The modus operandi is basically the same, the time chosen to commit the crime is the same, and even the target of the crime is the same, so it can be determined. Li Yun said.
"The goal of the crime is the same? Childe, the missing baby, there are men and women, big and small, fat and thin...," Zhao Yu said.
"These babies were born when they were all born in the lunar year, the lunar month, and the cloudy day. Li Yun said.
"This..."
Guan Zheng and the three of them were stunned, and immediately picked up the file and checked it one by one, and sure enough, these missing babies were indeed born when they were all cloudy in the lunar year.
"Childe, is there a use for this person to grab these babies?" Guan Zheng said in horror.
"It's nature..."
The facts of this case made Li Yun involuntarily think of the bee general Kuiya in Beikunshan, and his mind raced: "Could it be that someone needs such a baby to heal his wounds? Well, it would be easy to handle it if he knew its specific purpose." ”
"Childe, what should I do now?" Guan Zheng asked.
"This person committed the crime every day during the dark hour, and only one person was arrested at a time. The scope of his crimes is extremely large, and his speed is extremely fast, not like an ordinary mortal, but like a person who cultivates the truth..."
"What?!Cultivator?!"
Guan Zheng and the three of them were shocked, if it was really as Li Yun said, it would be troublesome.
"Yes! This man's actions are almost demonic... Demon..."Li Yun's eyes flashed.
"Childe... What are you talking about?!"
"We have to go to the Heavenly Machine Pavilion. Li Yun said.
"Tianji Pavilion?"
"Yes, progress can only be made if you understand who such a baby is useful for. ”
......
"A baby born when the lunar year is cloudy, the moon is cloudy, and the sun is cloudy..."
Jiang Ming, the master of the Great Pavilion of Tianji Pavilion, groaned after listening to what Guan Zheng said.
"Pavilion Master..."
"I wonder if you have found the bodies of these babies?" Jiang Ming asked.
"No, nothing has been found since the disappearance. Zhao Yu said.
"In fact, such a baby has a variety of uses, and there are specific uses in different immortal sects, and even in the demon path. Therefore, it is impossible to judge if the bodies of these missing babies cannot be seen. Jiang Ming explained.
"I wonder if the Pavilion Master can explain some of these usages?" Li Yun asked.
"For example, in some immortal sects, if someone is injured by fire poison or something, the blood of these babies can be used to alleviate the fire poison or even heal it. And in the Demon Dao, some special exercises also need the flesh and blood of these babies as a guide. Jiang Ming said.
Everyone shuddered when they heard this, and a chill hit their bodies!
"Is it fair to say that if it is used to heal wounds, only the blood of the baby is needed. And if it's a practice, you need the flesh and blood of a baby?"
Li Yun noticed this difference.
"It's... Basically, that's true. Jiang Ming nodded.
"I don't know how the cultivators can tell that the baby was born in the lunar year, the lunar month, and the cloudy day?" Li Yun asked again.
"It's not something you can see directly, it's just a feeling. Some people may know this kind of baby at a glance. Jiang Ming groaned.
Li Yun nodded and muttered, "If such a person is to heal his wounds, it is possible that after he finishes sucking blood, he may throw away the baby's corpse, so that we can find it." If such a person is for practice, there is no possibility of a baby corpse appearing. So, now we need to search the whole city carefully to see if the body of the missing baby has been found. Judging from the current situation, I am inclined to think that this person is here for practice. ”
"Oh... Why is Childe so sure?" Jiang Ming asked.
"For several days, the Criminal Health Department has searched extensively and has not found any body of the baby. Secondly, the fact that this person has been able to catch this special baby very quickly and accurately each time he commits a crime shows that he must have a special feeling for such a baby, and only a person who has been immersed in a certain practice for a long time can do this. ”
"Not bad!" Jiang Ming praised.
"Childe, even if we know the whereabouts of this person, but, with his cultivation, I'm afraid it can't be captured by mortals like us, how can this be good?" Guan Zheng sighed.
"Director, isn't it that the Worry-free Immortal Master of Qingyuanmen just came to the imperial capital? Zhao Yu suggested.
"Yes... Makes sense!" Guan Zheng's eyes lit up.
Li Yun snickered in his heart and echoed: "Uncle Zhao's suggestion is not bad, you can try it." ”
The four of them said goodbye to Jiang Ming and hurried to the court.
......
Above the court, it was Long Hao, the third highness, who was there.
It turned out that the Holy Emperor was sick and let the Holy Prince temporarily take over.
When Long Hao heard what everyone said, he immediately sent someone to invite the immortal master Wuzi to come out.
Everyone waited for a long time, and the Worry-free Immortal Master finally appeared, his face was full of red light, his face was a little strange, and he was dressed in a golden brocade robe, but the iconic big gourd on his waist was gone.
"I've seen the Holy Prince!" said Sanssouci Shili.
Long Hao had already stood up and bowed to greet him, and said respectfully: "Please take a seat at the Immortal Master!"
"I don't know why the prince summoned this immortal?"
"There is a big case in the imperial capital recently, and I want to ask the immortal master to help arrest the important criminal. ”
Long Hao asked Guan Zheng to explain it carefully to Wuwuzi.
"I see. This is a trivial matter, and when this immortal casts a spell tonight, he will definitely arrest this thief!" said Sanssouci casually.
"Thank you, Immortal Master!" Guan Zheng said happily.
"Hey, although there is no problem with this immortal's spellcasting, but this time when I came to the Heavenly Dragon Emperor Capital, due to the rush of the trip, I forgot to bring the magic sword, and those talismans were also lost halfway. Therefore, please ask the Holy Prince to prepare a good peachwood sword for the immortal, as well as several stacks of blank rune paper. Sanssouci said.
The crowd listened a little confused.
