"There are many marks of sword cuts on the clothes of the deceased, but there is no trace of wounds on the body, which shows that the deceased should have cultivated a defensive martial art similar to the golden bell jar, so it can cause such a phenomenon. Gongsun pointed to the headless corpse that had been found, and addressed the crowd.

Chen Yutian nodded slightly, then stepped forward, and lifted the cuffs on the wrist of the right arm of the headless corpse, and saw a hideous scar in front of him, which was almost no different from that on Ling Zhanwu and the others.

"He is indeed the snake head of the Nine Snakes Society!" Xuan Xi nodded on the side.

Chen Yutian nodded, carefully circled around the headless corpse twice, and then looked at the old man who was covering his granddaughter's eyes to prevent her from seeing the scene in front of her.

"Uncle, come and see, this person's clothes are the clothes worn by the vicious man who came to your house last night?"

The old man hesitated for a moment, then let his granddaughter stay where he was, and walked forward to take a look, just one glance, his face changed suddenly, and hurriedly said to Chen Yutian: "Yes, my lord, this person ...... This person is the vicious person who came to my house last night! The old man remembered this dress and this scar, and it was only when he saw that he and the person who was recuperating from the wound had the same scar that he thought they were acquaintances! How could he have thought that ......

When the old man said this, he suddenly sighed.

Chen Yutian understood why he sighed, and then carefully observed the headless corpse again, the cause of death of the corpse could be judged from the blood gushing out of the neck, and now what needed to be determined was whether he had been hit by the Heart-Destroying Sword Qi like the previous several deceased.

Generally speaking, since the deceased is proficient in defensive martial arts such as the golden bell jar, it is not easy to break his defenses and then take his life, and the best way is to let the attack be launched from the inside out, first attack the body with weaker defenses, and then take his life from the inside out.

If it is analyzed from here, then the deceased must have been hit by the Heart-Destroying Sword Qi!

But this is, after all, only speculation, not supported by actual evidence. Chen Yutian sighed slightly, his gaze shifted from the headless corpse, and looked around the scene.

The area within a radius of several feet has been completely blocked by the government, and the Gyeonggi Prefecture Arrest, the Yongfeng County Officials, and the Kowloon Prefecture Divine Arrest are scattered around, and a thorough search of the entire crime scene is being carried out. So far, though, they haven't found anything suspicious.

Chen Yutian breathed a sigh of relief, and his eyes inadvertently swept around, but he found that Xue Tianhan was half-squatting under a tree, concentrating on observing something.

"Brother Xue, what did you find?"

Chen Yutian walked over with a smile, and together with Xuan Xi and Ling Miaoyin, he came to Xue Tianhan, and then saw Xue Tianhan frowning slightly, staring at the object in his hand.

It was a dusty white rag!

Judging from the fabric of the cloth, it should be a part of the silk clothing, and the clothing of this fabric is not easy to break, and the edge of the broken place is not a trace of mess, so it can be determined that it should not be unintentionally torn off by a tree branch, but ...... It was cut raw from clothing with some sharp object.

Moreover, the rags were white, but almost all of the deceased's body was made of darker clothes, and even if he did wear a silk undergarment inside, there was nothing torn about the garment, and it was evident that the deceased had not cut it from the deceased's clothes.

So whose garment was this cut from?

The results speak for themselves.

"This is left by the murderer?" Ling Miaoyin said in a tentative tone.

Xue Tianhan nodded, "Sort of......"

"What do you mean, right?" Ling Miaoyin frowned with a hint of doubt and asked.

"Because I'm not entirely sure, I can only say yes. Xue Tianhan replied seriously, then glanced up at Chen Yutian, and found that he was staring intently at the fragment in his hand, so he reached out and gave it to him.

"This was found under this tree, and it should have been cut off by the deceased's blade during the fight between the murderer and the deceased, but strangely, I didn't see any weapons on the deceased's body!" Xue Tianhan said.

Chen Yutian took the piece of cloth from his hand and squinted his eyes slightly, but when he turned the other side of the cloth over and observed it in front of him, he just glanced at it, and there seemed to be a sudden flash of shock in his heart, and the whole person was stunned.

"It's ......"

On the side, Xuan Xi glanced at it with a hint of curiosity, and found that on the back of the cloth, there were several special patterns.

Xue Tianhan also looked at the pattern, and then at Chen Yutian's sluggish expression, with a hint of thoughtfulness in his eyes.

At this time, Gongsun's preliminary autopsy was almost completed.

......

......

"The deceased's name is Mo Lingxiao, a native of Shanyang County, Linzhou, this is the official guide found from him, as well as his token as the head of the Nine Snakes Society. Gongsun pointed to the two objects that had been found on the ground from the dead and said to the people.

Chen Yutian picked up the official guide and looked at it, and then picked up the jade pendant and looked at it. Nodding slightly, he then looked at Gongsun and asked, "What about the time of the deceased's death?" Also, did he ever be hit by the Heart-Destroying Sword Qi?"

Hearing these two questions, Gongsun nodded slightly and said: "The time of death is about four or five hours ago, which is basically consistent with what the old man said, it can be determined that the deceased should be the person who is recuperating from his injuries, if there is no mistake, he should be Yue Lingxiao who is on the run." ”

Hearing this, Chen Yutian frowned slightly.

Xing Enming on the side had a gloomy face and an angry expression.

This Yue Lingxiao harmed people's lives at the feet of the Son of Heaven in the capital three times and twice, and even deliberately sent the head of the person whose head was killed by himself to the government before, this is simply a naked provocation, and it is really too much to take them as public people in their eyes!

"This guy is quite bold......" At this moment, Wu Gongtian suddenly spoke.

Chen Yutian's expression moved slightly, and he glanced at him, and the rest of the people also looked at him with a hint of surprise.

Xing Enming and Chen Tao asked with a hint of confusion: "What do you say about Lord Wu?"

Wu Dongtian smiled and said: "Please think about it carefully, if the murderer is replaced by ourselves, let us consider it from the position of the murderer, if we kill someone ourselves, what will we generally do?"

Xing Enming and Chen Tao glanced at each other.

They were all people who had been in the officialdom for many years, so they could naturally understand the true meaning of Wu Dongtian's words, so they asked, "What does Master Wu mean...... The murderer's behavior is somewhat unreasonable?"

Wu Dongtian nodded slightly.

Xing Enming squinted his eyes and thought about it carefully, and said, "Yes...... If it is an ordinary murderer, the first reaction of killing someone is to run away, and the farther away the better, but the murderer in this case is obviously the opposite, this has been nearly half a month since the crime, and he has been wandering around the capital all the time, and he has killed a few more lives from time to time, it doesn't look like a fugitive on the run......"

Speaking of this, he suddenly paused, and his eyes suddenly lit up!

"Could it be...... His purpose was not to escape for his life at all, or rather, when he chose to leave the capital from the beginning, it was not to flee for his life, but to ...... Lure out these subsequent dead ones one by one and kill them?"

Xing Enming's face changed suddenly!

This is an extremely bold speculation, but judging from the various actions of the murderer so far, it is not completely impossible.

Chen Yutian nodded slightly.

He didn't tell Xing Enming about the Nine Snakes Society, after all, this matter not only involved this case, but also involved the secrets of the Eight Great Holy Clans that had already covered the Heavenly Sect and other saints, and the fewer people who knew about these without the permission of the Four Saints, the better.

And Xing Enming was able to deduce the murderer's purpose without knowing about the Nine Snakes Society and other things, which shows that his own reasoning ability is not weak.

It's just that he still lacks important information after all, and he can't put this puzzle piece together completely.

"Yue Lingxiao's motive for escaping the capital is indeed as Uncle Xing said, it is to wait for an opportunity to lure out and kill the nine snake heads one by one, and the purpose should be to prevent the fragment of the map that records the treasure of the Feng family to fall into the hands of the Heaven Destroying Sect. It's just that I still don't understand why he had to let the deceased be in a different place after killing someone? Could it be just his quirk of killing?"

Chen Yutian thought to himself in his heart.

"No, it shouldn't be that simple...... He must have a deep meaning in doing this, but what is his purpose? And ......"

Thinking of this, Chen Yutian subconsciously looked at the pattern on the white cloth in his hand, and frowned slightly.

“...... How could this thing be at the scene of the killing?"

The moment his thoughts fell, a figure suddenly appeared in his heart that he had only seen once, but would never forget it for a lifetime.

Is that...... Ling Xiaowu!

......

......

A white robe hung gently on the hanger.

The robe was new, it looked as if it had just been washed, and it was on a hanger, with a faint drop of water dripping from it.

At the hem of the robe, in the lower right corner, there is a mark that seems to have been cut by a sharp weapon such as a sword, so that the front hem is significantly less than the back hem.

A bare hand suddenly pinched the front hem that was missing.

A good-looking pretty face appeared with the appearance of her bare hands, and her pretty eyebrows were slightly frowned, as if she was distressed by the torn clothes.

Immediately, with a hint of resentment in her eyes, she looked behind her.

There, a girl in men's clothes was sitting side by side with a man in blue.

And that ray of resentment was looking at the young man in blue.

"Uh......" Looking at the girl's resentful eyes, the young man in blue smiled helplessly, and the girl in men's clothes next to him couldn't help laughing when she saw this.

"Hey...... Let you show off this stinky fart again, this is a piece of clothing that Sister Xiaoxiao sewed by herself, but you only wore it for a few days, and it was torn...... It's really ......" Liu Huangcui looked at Ling Xiaowu and quipped.

When Ling Xiaowu heard this, he smiled slightly bitterly.

Yu Xiaoxiao looked at the broken place for a long time, then let go with a slight frown, came to Liu Huangcui and Ling Xiaowu, and sat down.

"Sister Xiaoxiao, what did you find?" Liu Huangcui hurriedly leaned over and asked with a smile.

Yu Xiaoxiao's face was solemn, looking at Ling Xiaowu, her eyes were faintly complicated: "I have taken a closer look, that kind of neat and uniform gap should not be cut by a sword, that piece should be cut by a sword qi, right?"

"Sword Qi?" Hearing this, Liu Huangcui on the side couldn't help but be surprised.

"There is still a sword qi that can touch your clothes, what is the origin of the other party?" Liu Huangcui looked at Ling Xiaowu in surprise and asked.

Ling Xiaowu smiled bitterly.

Because of the particularity of his own Taiyi Immortal Demon Body, under normal circumstances, the protective body Gang Qi formed by himself in the territory of Gang Qi separated from the body will have one more layer than ordinary people, and it is precisely because of this extra layer that his own defense has almost reached the point of being invulnerable, after all, under normal circumstances, no matter how powerful the attack is, at most it can only destroy one layer of his own body protection Gang Qi. The other layer, which most people would not expect, will naturally not be broken.

Because of this, when Liu Huangcui and Yu Xiaoxiao found that the piece on their clothes was actually cut by sword qi, they were so surprised. Because of this, it means that in the battle, he was broken by a sword qi and broke two layers of body protection qi.

However, this is not the case.

"I don't know exactly where he came from, but his sword aura is really weird...... Because he didn't destroy my first layer of defense, but directly passed through this layer of defense, directly destroying the second layer. Just like his sword aura seems to ...... Able to penetrate internal forces in general. ”

"Penetrate the internal force?" Liu Huangcui exclaimed.

Yu Xiaoxiao's eyes also flashed, and while covering her small mouth, her pupils suddenly constricted, and she remembered a legend about Taiyimen in the past.

Ling Xiaowu obviously knew what she was thinking, waved his hand slightly and smiled, "Don't worry, according to the legend, that sword qi can penetrate the internal force at most once, and my immortal and demon internal force has two layers, as long as you are careful next time, there will be no problem." ”

Yu Xiaoxiao hesitated for a moment and nodded slightly.

Liu Huangcui asked, "Then this person...... Does it have anything to do with your enemies?"

Hearing this question, Ling Xiaowu groaned slightly, and said, "He...... I think they are also one of my enemies, but for some reason, they actually killed each other...... And I also saw with my own eyes that after he killed someone, he cut off the person's head. ”

"You said he cut off the head of a dead man?" Liu Huangcui's eyes suddenly changed and exclaimed.

Ling Xiaowu nodded, his gaze also a little solemn.

"Judging from this situation, the headless corpse we found on the road earlier should be one of them. Yu Xiaoxiao calmed down slightly and said slowly.

The other two all nodded, and then Liu Huangcui narrowed his eyes slightly and said, "Brother Ling looks like this...... The purpose of the mysterious person who sent you the letter should not be simple, maybe it has something to do with the destruction of your Feng family back then. ”

Hearing this, Ling Xiaowu's eyes suddenly turned slightly cold.

"What do you mean......"

"Think about it, since the establishment of our Taiyi Tianfu, we have been looking for the bandits of the Nine Snakes Society on the rivers and lakes, but they have found nothing, which shows that these guys are hidden deep enough, but the mysterious person who wrote to you can easily tell you that they are all hidden in the capital, and ask you to come to the capital to take revenge......, this is a bit strange, right? I've always felt that things shouldn't be that simple, so ...... Be careful. ”

Liu Huangcui changed his previous playful color and said with great solemnity.

Hearing this, Ling Xiaowu also nodded very solemnly.
