Chapter 284: Mystery
Three days later, Jiang Xing, who was traveling alone all the way to the north, sent a message to Yao Qingyi and learned that she had also successfully escaped, so he let go of his heart and set foot on the road back to Kowloon City with peace of mind.
It's just that what he doesn't know is that Kowloon City is already facing the danger of destroying the city at this time.
Such a big change happened in Kowloon City, in fact, there was an accident on the third day after Jiang Xing left Kowloon City, but at that time, it was just an ordinary villager who was murdered, Wei Xuanji didn't pay attention to it, he just handed it over to the guards to investigate, and he didn't pay attention to it.
But it was this little negligence that caused a big disaster!
On the second day, three more villagers died, on the third day six villagers died, and on the fourth day eight villagers died!
The death toll is increasing day by day!
Moreover, most of the people who died were innate monks, and the identity of the deceased also spread from ordinary villagers to guards, generals, and even refiners!
This incident shocked the whole Kowloon City, and Wei Xuanji ordered a thorough investigation of the matter. At the same time, all guards in Kowloon City were ordered to patrol strictly.
But for several days, Wei Xuanji's investigation still found nothing, and he didn't even see the shadow of the murderer!
Death continues!
Moreover, from the beginning, most of the people who died were innate stage city citizens, and gradually became the most of the dead people in the Qi refining stage!
The murderer is getting stronger!
Wei Xuanji, who was already helpless, hurriedly transmitted the message to Jiang Xing, but unfortunately, Jiang Xing, who was in a different space like the Heavenly Ghost Secret Realm, couldn't receive it at all.
In just seven days, 100 people have died in Kowloon City!
Panic is spreading in Kowloon City!
The bereaved citizens of the city were already on the verge of a mental breakdown, and in this terrifying environment, they were completely broken and crazy!
They are complaining that Wei Xuanji and other sovereign people can't find the murderer!
They resented Jiang Xing even more for not standing up to rescue them when this catastrophe came!
And Wei Xuanji has already had a big head in the face of a corpse every day!
He knew that there were assassins in Kowloon City who had infiltrated Kowloon City, but he couldn't find out who he was!
He had checked all the corpses, so there were only two ways to die for corpses, one was to die by a sharp blade through the throat, judging from the wounds, there was no trace of the use of spiritual power, all of them killed with physical strength!
Judging from the technique, the murderer is a master of hand-to-hand combat!
In addition, judging from the expressions of these people, everyone here showed a look of consternation, as if they were surprised why the other party would kill him.
From this, it can be seen that the murderer may be an acquaintance!
And the most vigilant guards among the dead, most of them only had time to stretch their hands to their waists, or they had already pressed on the hilt of their swords, but without exception they had no chance to pull them out, and then they were killed!
Obviously, either the killer acted too quickly, so that they couldn't react at all and were killed. In addition, it was the murderer who was an acquaintance they knew, which made them relax their vigilance!
Wei Xuanji prefers both of these speculations! The murderer is both an acquaintance and a master of hand-to-hand combat!
The second method of death looks extremely strange, and the person who dies by the second method of death has no wounds on the outside, but the internal organs are like melted porridge, and the whole body cultivation is also gone.
This method of death is very similar to the venom that after a poisonous snake bites its prey, the venom will invade the prey and melt everything inside the prey into a porridge-like characteristic. But this time, the murderer's goal is not to devour their bodies like poisonous snakes, but to devour the essence of the deceased's bodies!
Judging from this technique, the murderer may not be a human, but more like a demon beast!
This point is not valid with the first way of death, which is a hand-to-hand combat master.
Although there are contradictions between these two methods of death, they also have something in common, that is, something that infiltrates Kowloon City or a supernatural power that the monk will possess.
At this point, all the mysteries of the Kowloon City murder case have been explained.
Inside the conference room.
Wei Xuanji, Shao Zeng, Xiao Fan, Xiao Shuang, Ah Li, Xiang Caifang and other leaders of Kowloon City all looked very solemn at this time!
The first to speak was naturally Wei Xuanji, who was in charge of investigating the case, and he examined the fatal wounds of every corpse and saw some problems in the corpse.
He stood up and said loudly: "The two causes of death of the corpse must be known to everyone, the first cause of death is man-made killing, each wound is almost identical, and the naked eye can hardly distinguish the difference between them, which shows that the person's control over the direction, speed and strength of the shot has reached an incredible degree. But one thing is obvious, the strength of the opponent's attack is different every day! The scratches on the armor on the guard's body are deep and shallow, some scratches can be seen at a glance that the attacker is extremely powerful, and some scratches are left by a person whose strength is weaker. But the direction, speed, and strength of the two shots all show that they are the same person's shots!"
Speaking of this, Wei Xuanji paused for a moment before continuing: "It's like understanding the murderer as a kind of possessed monk, then everything will be explained. When he possesses a villager to kill someone, his strike power becomes smaller, and when he possesses a guard to kill, his strike power increases greatly, which explains the difference in the depth of these scratches!"
Xiao Fan on the side said with a solemn face: "If this is the case, wouldn't he be any of us in Kowloon City at this time!"
Xiang Caifang also said with an ugly face: "If we can't find him, we can't guarantee our safety!"
Wei Xuanji took a deep breath and said, "Indeed, the murderer may be possessed by anyone at the moment, but we must find a way to find the murderer!"
Ah Liang said: "Can be possessed by anyone, so what are the characteristics of the possessed person? Maybe this characteristic can help us find the murderer!"
Wei Xuanji said: "This is the second death characteristic I am going to talk about next!"
As Wei Xuanji spoke, he ordered the body to be carried in, and after the body was brought in, he began to dissect the corpse.
I saw that as soon as the corpse was dissected, there was nothing in the abdomen of the corpse, just an empty shell and a cavity full of blood!
"As you can see, the second way to die is that there are no wounds on the outside, but the internal organs have turned into blood! This symptom is often the traces left by some special monsters to kill people, but this time it is an exception! I once suspected that the murderer was a person and a demon, but when I found that the traces left by the murderer of the hand-to-hand combat master were all left by these citymen whose internal organs were turned into blood, I came to a conclusion!"
"That is, the murderer is a hand-to-hand combat master who can possess others! When he attaches himself to the people of the city and kills people, the killed person will leave traces of hand-to-hand combat! And the person possessed by him, the final result is that the internal organs will turn into blood! At this time, the murderer will change another body!"
Everyone was terrified!
Ah Liang said: "Since the murderer turned the internal organs of the possessed person into blood, then the face of the possessed person must be very pale during the period when the internal organs are turned into blood, and we observe the people with abnormal faces in the city, maybe we can find the murderer!"
Wei Xuanji shook his head and said, "No one has ever seen someone with an abnormal face! I guess either someone who has seen a murderer has either been killed or possessed! or someone who has been possessed, his face is as usual!"
Xiao Fan said: "Since the possessed person has no obvious characteristics, why did you say that the possessed person has characteristics?"
"Of course there is! I don't know if you have noticed that from the beginning when the murderer was only possessed by people in the innate stage, to now he can be possessed by qi refining cultivators, it can be said that his strength is getting stronger and stronger! This is also the reason why he kills more and more people day by day! We can narrow down the scope of the objects he will possess according to this characteristic of him, and maybe we can find him!"
As soon as Wei Xuanji's words were finished, Shao Zeng, as the head of Kowloon City, was the first to stand up and object, because the citizens of Kowloon City plus the Dawn Legion, which was full of Qi Refining Cultivators, all the Qi Refining Cultivators added up to nearly nine hundred!
Wei Xuanji did not object to Shao Zeng's words, he knew in his heart that the soldiers of the Dawn Legion were all war beasts and were not afraid of the monster's possession, and the remaining dozens of people, with so many Dawn warriors to stare at, may not be able to find the traces of the murderer.
But now he must keep this secret, he must know that the Dawn Legion is the secret of war beasts, and only he and Jiang Cheng are two!
If you take the liberty of exposing the secret that the mother nest can create war beasts, causing the secret to be passed out, it is very likely to attract the snatching of the sect, and Kowloon City will cease to exist at that time!
But now, apart from using this method, he has no strategy to deal with the possessed monster or monk at this time, and the only thing he can think of is the strategy of protecting the core people of Kowloon City with heavy troops to prevent them from being assassinated by the murderer.
He smiled wryly and said, "Now, we don't know anything about that thing except that it can possess it. If this continues, we will never be able to find that thing! Before this thing is attached to our important people in Kowloon City, we must let the Dawn Legion of the City Lord protect all the people in the city who hold important positions! Only the Dawn Legion of the Lord is the most reliable!"
As soon as Wei Xuanji's words fell, everyone's originally gloomy mood immediately rose with a ray of sunshine!
That mighty, mysterious legion is their only hope!
However, the horror of death is not over yet!
