Chapter 49 Murder case in the mountain city
The morning sky in the mountain city was still gray, Chu Liang and Yun Chaoxian set off early, and before the sun came out, they arrived outside a huge courtyard on the edge of the city.
The high courtyard walls are wrapped with iron wires, like thorns, and only the corner of the cornice can be seen from the outside.
The surroundings are quiet, and the door is closed.
"The echo of Tianyinbo is inside, let's rush in and kill him by surprise." Yun Chaoxian said impatiently.
"Wait." Chu Liang grabbed the halberd on his back and stopped him.
"Huh?" Yun Chao froze for a moment, "Brother Chu, what are you doing grabbing my halberd handle?"
"..." Chu Liang was speechless, took a deep breath, and explained to him: "It's too quiet around, I feel something is wrong."
"Is it normal to be quiet at this hour?" Yun Chaoxian was puzzled.
Chu Liang shook his head, "I have just searched the entire front yard with my spiritual sense, it is empty, there is nothing, it is too abnormal."
The distance of his spiritual detection can only see the front yard, and there is no one in the whole front yard. Not only was there no one, but there were no insects or birds, which made him feel very strange.
"Then what should we do?" Although Yun Chaoxian was confused, he still listened to Chu Liang's words.
"Let's wait and see first."
After finishing speaking, Chu Liang led Yun Chao to dodge first, hid in the side street, lowered his figure, and observed the courtyard.
After only a moment, there was a rush of footsteps, and the sound of Yufeng breaking through the sky.
Turning his head to look, he saw a team of black-clothed policemen with knives rushing over from the end of the street, very fast.
The catchers in the mountain city are probably the second-level warriors, and the leader of the team is the third-level warrior, who is already considered a master in the city.
An ordinary border town normally has this configuration.
The team of arresters rushed over quickly, and immediately two people kicked open the gate, several people flew up to the courtyard wall, and entered the courtyard from all directions.
As soon as someone stepped into the front yard, they felt a wave of monster energy rippling.
Chick—
The grass and trees in the front yard suddenly stretched out, turning into long vine ropes, entangled the incoming officials, and flung them around in the air.
The few weaker ones were in a panic for a while. Thanks to the arresters who came in to support them, they chopped off the grass with a few knives.
"Sure enough, there is something strange." Chu Liang, who was probing outside with his spiritual sense, whispered.
These plants are not monsters, but enchanted, similar to formations, which will be triggered after someone enters, causing some troubles for those who come.
Immediately afterwards, the officer rushed into the backyard.
A burst of blood instantly spread out!
There were dozens of corpses strewn all over the ground, all of them were in miserable condition, with blood flowing like rivers.
"If we rushed in rashly before, and were slightly blocked by the formation in the front yard, when we entered the back yard again, we would happen to be bumped into by the official who rushed over."
Chu Liang finally understood the purpose of this arrangement.
"When the time comes, the monster will be able to get away and blame us."
Although it is impossible for these officials to have the strength to keep the two of them, it will still be very troublesome for them to be discovered at the scene of the crime.
If you stay, you may not be able to explain clearly, and you will have to be detained for a period of time until you find out the truth before you can be released. If you leave by force, you will be found at the mountain gate sooner or later, and the pressure from the court will be on the Tiangang Sect and the Shushan Sect, and it is impossible for nine heavens and ten earths to condone the lawlessness of the disciples.
No matter what, by the time they figured things out, the monster **** envoy had already calmly left the city.
"So it's always better to calm down when things happen." Chu Liang could only smile.
"But..." Yun Chaoxian wondered again, "Why does his arrangement seem to be specially prepared for us?"
"It should be." Chu Liang said: "The monster **** envoy must have received the news about the hidden forest mountain. Since you can trace the Tibetan forest mountain, it is not surprising that he guessed that he has the magical power you left behind. Against such a cunning enemy, it is difficult for the same trick to work twice."
"Huh?" Yun Chaoxian suddenly realized, "Has my Tianyin wave been cracked? Damn it, I can't catch him now."
"No hurry, let's go back first." Chu Liang turned around and said.
…
Not long after the two returned to the inn, the official notice was issued.
Last night, an extremely vicious massacre occurred in the city. All 17 members of the family were killed, and the assailant is still at large.
The victim was a medicine dealer in the backer city, and some precious medicinal materials were indeed lost in his home, the most precious of which was a Nether Sea Golden Lotus.
The preliminary judgment was that the murder was due to money. The government immediately closed the backing city, and also offered a large reward for the trace of the assailant and the golden lotus in the sea.
The backing mountain city is adjacent to Zhennanyu Mountain. Many cultivators venture into Zhennanyu Mountain all year round to be herbal collectors, and the natural materials and treasures they gather are resold in the city. Therefore, there are many drug dealers like the victim in the backing city. At this time, this case suddenly broke out, and everyone in the city is in danger.
The government attaches great importance to it.
"Golden Lotus in the Underworld..."
After reading the notice, Chu Liang murmured the name.
It seems that I heard the "sha" in the soul space mentioned before that he has cultivated to the third level of the Five Elements Realm, and he needs yin and water to refine it. Among them, the sea monster is a very suitable choice.
This dark sea golden lotus is one kind.
It can help the cultivators of the fifth realm break through the realm, so it can be seen that it is indeed a treasure of high value.
And this thing comes from the south of the South Territory, and grows in the sea of darkness in the extreme south. It is quite rare near Zhennanyu Mountain.
"I really can't feel his trace anymore." Yun Chaoxian tried a few more times, but Tianyinbo did not respond.
The previous echo at the scene of the crime was the envoy who deliberately seduced him into the trap.
"It's okay, he was smart this time but he was mistaken by his cleverness." Chu Liang analyzed: "He probably reported to the government after the murder. He originally wanted to throw you out to attract the attention of the government, and then he can get rid of your tracking , can also take advantage of the chaos to escape. But...we did not fall into his trap, the government did not catch the suspect, and chose to seal the city immediately."
"The gate of the city hadn't been opened when the crime happened, and he had no chance to escape. The envoy was probably also sealed in the city at this time."
"If he forcibly escapes from the mountain city, unless there is some secret channel, he will definitely attract the attention of the government. He is a monster, and he should not act so risky in the territory of the Yu Dynasty. Before that, we still have a chance to catch him in the city. Hold him."
Yun Chaoxian stared at Chu Liang who was calmly narrating, and felt that he didn't follow a step, so he couldn't understand every sentence.
But after Chu Liang finished speaking, he nodded immediately, "Brother Chu is right...about the same as I thought."
Then he bowed his head and stroked for a long time, but couldn't help asking: "So, where are we going to catch him?"
"Let me think about it, there is always a way." Chu Liang said calmly.
After Yun Chao left first, he didn't think hard by himself, but took out the soul restraining order.
Whether it is the government or them, they are all forces on the right path.
The perspective is limited after all.
If you want to investigate this kind of thing, maybe you should ask the brothers in the underworld.
So he put his consciousness into the soul restraining order, and sent a message on his own initiative.
[Fifty-eight]: "Zunsha, my subordinates have found some information about the monsters of the underworld, and learned that there is a golden lotus of the underworld at this time in the backing mountain city. It's just that the exact location is unknown, and I don't know if I can seek it from my fellow sect. Some help?"
