Chapter 32 Theft, Corpses, and Paintings
"What's wrong with you?"
There was a sudden crisp, but curious voice outside the door, and Chen Yutian and Gongsun were slightly taken aback!
Immediately, the two of them looked back at the door where the voice came, and saw that the Nine Dragons Divine Catchers led by Yixue Tianhan and Huo Yuanji were all gathered together, looking at them with a little curiosity. Even, by the window, even the Sages such as Long Zun and the Ice King gathered one after another.
"What happened?"
Huo Yuanji took Lin Feifei and looked at the two curiously.
Xuan Xi walked directly in front of the two, and when she saw the remnant picture in the mezzanine of the painting, her bright eyes suddenly widened.
"This, is this ......?"
She looked at the two in the room with a look of disbelief.
Chen Yutian and Gongsun nodded slightly.
"Great! This is really a no-brainer!" Xuan Xi showed an extremely happy smile on his face, and everyone at the door was slightly stunned.
Then more people walked in, and the room was quickly packed.
And when each of them saw the remnant picture, they all showed an incredible look of surprise without exception.
"I didn't expect that the things that the Heaven Covering Sect had been looking for for so long would fall into our hands so easily, if they were known by the Cave Relief Machine or Ye Hong, they would definitely have a crooked nose. Tang Fengling smiled happily.
Everyone nodded slightly in agreement.
Chen Yutian also smiled slowly, I have to say, this discovery is too exciting, after all, this remnant map involves a lot, it involves whether the Wind Clan Holy Land, one of the eight great saint clans of the past, is going to reappear in the world, which has an extremely important role in the final plan of the revival of the Holy Martial Era of the Heaven Covering Sect!
And now, this remnant plan has fallen into the hands of their Nine Dragons Mansion, so it is bound to be a great blow to the plan of the Heaven Destroying Sect!
And this kind of blow is exactly what they like to see.
Thinking that they didn't know that the last piece of the remnant of the picture they had been looking for had fallen into their hands, Chen Yutian couldn't help but let out a chuckle.
"This is the fragment of the map that records the burial place of the Wind Clan's treasure?"
Long Zun took the remnant and looked at it slightly for a while, and asked Chen Yutian, although he and the other sages were not very involved in the investigation of the case, they still heard some things from their respective apprentices. And the notes left by Wu Chengtian were also read by several old-timers afterwards.
So the moment he saw this remnant, Long Zun knew the true face of this thing.
Chen Yutian nodded slightly.
Long Zun, Ice King, and Yan Zun glanced at each other, their eyes showing a rare sense of joy, and said again and again: "Okay, good...... Now that this thing is in our hands, the Heaven Covering Sect will never again be able to open the Wind Clan's holy land. ”
"What Master said is very true. Chen Yutian also nodded.
Everyone was immersed in the joy of finding the remnants, and they didn't notice that outside the door, a figure was hurrying towards this side.
This person is none other than Zhou Lin.
As he ran, he shouted, "Lord Chen, something is wrong!"
He kept screaming and running, getting closer and closer to Chen Yutian's room, and in the room, Chen Yutian frowned slightly after hearing his voice.
He had already understood that another headless corpse must have been found.
Otherwise, Zhou Lin would never appear in the Kowloon Mansion.
Thinking of this, Chen Yutian sighed slightly, then followed the sound and walked out of the room, released the door, and saw Zhou Lin running over with an anxious expression.
Seeing Chen Yutian from a distance, he shouted: "Lord Chen, it's not good, something happened!"
Gongsun and the others in the room also frowned slightly when they saw him like this.
Chen Yutian looked at Zhou Lin, who was running out of breath, and asked with a slightly solemn expression: "Zhou Zhutou, but you found a headless corpse again?" Or did you find a human head again?"
Gongsun and the others also looked at Zhou Lin with solemn expressions.
But seeing that Zhou Lin heard this, he panted and shook his head suddenly, "No, it's not ......."
Everyone present was immediately blindsided.
Even Chen Yutian was curious.
"Since you didn't find a headless corpse, or a human head, why were you in such a hurry to catch the head this week?"
Zhou Lin took a few breaths and said, "Yes...... Be...... The old Yuelai store we had been to before seemed to have been burglarized last night, and all the paintings in the store disappeared overnight. ”
"What?"
Hearing this, everyone present was stunned!
After Chen Yutian, Gongsun and Xue Tianhan glanced at each other, Chen Yutian's eyes suddenly flashed, and he said to Zhou Lin.
"In that case, I hope you can take us over to have a look!"
Zhou Lin nodded and said, "This is exactly why I came here, and I ask you to come with me!"
After that, he pulled his legs and left, and everyone in Jiulong Mansion hesitated for a moment, and then followed one after another......
......
......
Xing Enming stood in the lobby of Yuelai's old store, his brows furrowed tightly.
This morning, as soon as he got up, he got a report from the shopkeeper Li Yun, claiming that something strange had happened in their inn, and all the various incarnations hanging in the store disappeared overnight.
At the beginning, after listening to Li Yun's statement, Xing Enming didn't believe it, after all, there was no thief in the world who would be so bored to steal all the paintings in an inn.
Besides, a painting that can be hung casually in a guest's room is certainly not a masterpiece and is not worth a few dollars.
However, although burglary is not an unforgivable crime, once it is verified, several years in prison are always indispensable.
For a bunch of paintings that are not very valuable, at the risk of years in prison, such a loss-making transaction, no one in the world should go back to do it.
But when he followed Li Yun to Yuelai's old store, he knew that what Li Yun said was true.
Not only the paintings in the guest rooms of the store, but also the huge painting of the welcome pine that I saw in the lobby when I came to the hotel the last time I came is gone.
Where did the thief come from, and how special his hobby came from?
The first time he saw the empty wall, a thought came to his mind.
But this thought only appeared for a moment, and he forcibly suppressed it.
With the inspection of all the guest rooms in the inn, Xing Enming's brows gradually tightened tighter.
Everything is as Li Yun said, all the paintings in Yuelai's old store are gone, and it was overnight.
Xing Enming's expression gradually showed a hint of thought.
Judging from the situation at the scene, the thief must not have been alone, because the traces left at the scene were extremely messy, and it seems that the paintings were stolen in a hurry.
But even in such a chaotic scene, they did not wake up the shopkeeper couple who were sleeping downstairs, which shows that these people must not be ordinary people.
It is very likely that he is also a person in the rivers and lakes with unique skills.
Thinking of this, Xing Enming immediately summoned Zhou Lin over and ordered him to go to Jiulong Mansion immediately to invite Chen Yutian and the others over, after all, they knew best about the people in the rivers and lakes.
So Zhou Lin left in a hurry.
After a stick of incense, Zhou Lin came to the scene with everyone from Jiulong Mansion.
"It's amazing! Even the big painting of the welcome pine has been swept away, this thief is really ...... It's unique!" Tang Fengling looked at the empty wall of the lobby facing the store door, slightly speechless.
The rest of the people were also a little strange, why are there such strange thieves?
Chen Yutian frowned slightly, and walked around the door of several stolen guest rooms with Xuan Xi.
The interior of these rooms is chaotic, whether it is the furnishings of the interior or the open and unclosed wardrobe drawers, which give people the appearance of chaos.
Judging from the situation at the scene, the thieves seemed to be in a hurry, and almost took the paintings hanging on the wall directly.
But such a reckless action didn't alarm anyone in the inn!
Is this possible?
Chen Yutian frowned slightly, judging from common sense, this is naturally impossible.
But if it involves people in the martial arts, this matter is not completely impossible, but even so, if there is no considerable skill, I am afraid it will be difficult to do this.
"This thief is really bold, not only did he sneak into the inn directly, but he was also so arrogant when he stole things, it was really rampant......" Xuan Xixiu's eyebrows frowned slightly, indignant, "It seems that they are very confident in their martial arts...... Are you confident that you won't alarm anyone......
Listening to Xuan Xi's words, Chen Yutian nodded slightly.
"yes...... I think they must have thought so...... And they shouldn't have paid any attention to the people in the inn......"
"It's so rampant...... Who is so bold?" Xuan Xi said.
Chen Yutian smiled slightly when he heard this, and said, "Who do you say would have such courage?"
Xuan Xi was slightly stunned, then turned around and glanced at him, and said, "I...... How could I have known that I must have gone to find the thief long ago. ”
Chen Yutian shook his head slightly and smiled.
Seeing his appearance, Xuan Xi suddenly seemed to understand something, and hurriedly asked, "Do you already know?"
Chen Yutian was noncommittal, and said: "I do have some ideas, but without evidence, I can't make decisions arbitrarily!"
When Xuan Xi heard this, his eyes flashed slightly, and he asked excitedly, "Who is it?"
Chen Yutian smiled, "Think about it, the person who can take these words in such a hurry without making the slightest sound to alarm Li Yun and them should at least be a master of the otherworldly level, right?"
"Uh-huh. ”
"There are so many masters of this level, and in the martial arts, I'm afraid that only the four overlords with the same strength as Taiyi Tianfu can come up with it, right?" Chen Yutian said again, "After all, otherworldly level masters are not everywhere. ”
"Not bad. Xuan Xi nodded.
"Coupled with the fact that we have just found the last fragment of the treasure map from the mezzanine of that painting, there has been such a major theft here, and all the paintings that have been lost, don't you think this is too much of a coincidence?" ”
"Ah......h
Hearing this, Xuan Xi couldn't help but exclaim.
"What do you mean......"
Before she finished speaking, Chen Yutian nodded slightly, "Yes, I think this matter is also their masterpiece nine times out of ten." ”
When he learned from Zhou Lin that there was a theft in Yuelai's old store, and all the lost were paintings, Chen Yutian had this guess in his heart.
But as he himself said, because there was no solid evidence, even if he had affirmed his guess in his heart, he still didn't say it.
And when he came here, seeing the chaotic room, and Li Yun's statement that he didn't hear any sound last night, he was even more sure of his guess.
There is still no evidence.
But even so, he could be sure that the other party must be the Heaven Covering Sect that was eager to get the last remnant of the picture!
After all, he had only just discovered the last remnant of the painting.
"I think it should be that the Heaven Covering Sect learned out of nowhere that the last remnant picture was hidden in a painting in the old Yuelai store, so it sent a master to the old store in Yuelai, the purpose was to retrieve the remnant picture.
But the people on the mission were unable to find the painting.
The members of the Heaven Covering Sect who couldn't find the painting might mistakenly think that the painting was hung by the shopkeeper in other rooms, but after all, there were paintings in every room in the guest room, so he simply didn't do anything and took all the paintings in the inn directly, and in his mind, among so many words, there was always the one they were looking for.
But they didn't know that the painting had already been brought back to the Kowloon Mansion by us. So no matter how they looked, they couldn't find it. ”
After listening to Chen Yutian's explanation, Xuan Xi nodded.
"You're right, it's the most plausible explanation. It seems that the Heaven Covering Sect has realized that the last remnant of the painting is on the painting, and I am afraid that it will not be long before they will also know about the fact that the painting was taken away by us, and I am afraid that they will be facing them head-on again......"
Hearing this, Chen Yutian also sighed and nodded slightly.
"That's right...... And I always feel that what we are going to face next should be more than just the forces of the Heaven Destroying Sect......"
Xuan Xi looked at him in surprise, puzzled.
Chen Yutian smiled slightly and said, "Do you remember the Liu Sanniang and the others we met in the martial arts manor?"
Hearing this, Xuan Xiyu's face was suddenly covered with a layer of clouds.
An incomparably rare killing intent emerged unabashedly.
Chen Yutian smiled bitterly, and then said: "Since they appeared in the Martial Family Manor, and finally took away Mrs. Wu, I always feel that their target should also be the treasure of the Wind Clan......"
A flash of surprise flashed in Xuan Xi's eyes, accompanied by a slight flash of killing intent, and asked, "What do you mean......"
"I'm afraid that the forces we are going to face will have to add a blade organization......" Chen Yutian sighed slightly.
A gleam flashed in Xuan Xi's eyes!
"Really...... That's great...... I'm worried that I can't teach that stinky woman a good lesson, and since they're going to follow us, then don't worry......"
Chen Yutian suddenly smiled bitterly.
It seems that Xuan Xi's resentment towards Liu Sanniang is really big!
At this moment, a servant hurriedly ran in from outside the door and reported to Xing Enming: "Report...... My lord, something is wrong, a few fishermen just came to Yamen to report the case, saying that two floating corpses were found in the river outside the city. ”
