At night, there was chaos on the sea. Several boats surrounded it, and several lights swept back and forth. More and more people gathered on the coast, all looking at the intersection of lights in the vast night.
During a period of chaos, Tang Zhao and others saw two bloody people being carried up on the beach. Their dead bodies could not be clearly seen, but they could vaguely see white notes nailed to their bodies.
As for what was written on the note, Tang Zhao and the others were too far away and the night was dark, so they couldn't really see it.
After a while, Long Yuan's people rushed over and began to maintain order, evacuate the crowd, and asked everyone to go back to their houses.
Because Tang Zhao and the others were not residents of the human area, they were given special attention by Long Yuan's disciples. Fortunately, Wusuntong and Chesha testified that they were friends, and they came to chat with him at night, so it was considered that there was a reason. In addition, Tang Zhao, as the top leader in the Tiandi District, seemed to be able to sell his face. He was recognized by Long Yuan's disciples, and he was able to escape temporarily.
After being almost driven back to Tianqu Guest House by Long Yuan's disciples, Tang Zhao and Jiang Shenyi looked at each other.
When no one was around, Jiang Shen Yifang said in disbelief: "The people from Ironforge are dead? They died like this?"
Tang Zhao said: "Yes. There may be trouble later."
From the look just now, it was obvious that someone from Ironforge had an accident when they went out to play at night, and could only be killed.
A Talisman Sword Master was killed before the Talisman Association. Should we track down the murderer?
How to trace it? First, eyewitness testimony, checking the suspicious persons present, and then investigating...the motive?
Who has a motive?
Zhuoyu Villa has it.
The entanglement four years ago may not be a big deal that everyone knows about, but it may not be known to everyone. At least Tourmaline Villa probably still remembers it, who knows they won't take the initiative to report it? Not to mention that he was framed, maybe the other party really thinks that he did it?
Of course, those who are clean will be cleansed themselves. This matter really has nothing to do with them, and there are witnesses who can prove it. However, all the troublesome investigations involved may not have been dealt with all at once.
Tang Zhao even thought of the matter in Jiuyuan, which seemed to be unresolved. Even his spirit envoys along the way had their own thoughts. People in Longyuan were divided, and there was an undercurrent in the Fuhui this time.
It was an undercurrent before, but after tonight, it may be a stormy sea.
Jiang Shenyi suddenly thought: "Do you think King Xiaoguang is also dead? Just like the two people from Ironforge?"
Tang Zhao pondered, recalling the stories he had heard, and said: "Are you talking about a serial murderer? I don't think so. If it is the same murderer, he should have the same style and the same technique. For example, these two high-profile murderers this time He placed it on the sea and stapled a note to prevent others from knowing. Then he shouldn’t have been secretive about killing Xiao Guang Wang. The body should have been released long ago. Furthermore, the motives for the serial murders should be similar or the same. The dead all have something in common. Is there any historical entanglement between King Xiaoguang and Ironforge?"
King Xiaoguang comes from the North Sea, thousands of miles away, and can no longer even be called the land of China. Ironforge is a wandering sect, and it's hard to say where it belongs. It is said that the castle of Ironforge is like a huge iron car, traveling across the land of Kyushu, rarely stopping in one place. It cannot be said that the two sides definitely have no intersection, but I have never heard of any relationship between Ironforge and Yuanji Palace. Just based on imagination, it is difficult to think of anyone who would single out these two people for consecutive killings.
Of course, if it is not a specific killing, it is another matter.
Jiang Shenyi thought of something again and said, "Maybe King Xiaoguang killed them? Now King Xiaoguang is nowhere to be found, how could he know that he wasn't hiding in the dark to kill people?"
It also makes sense.
However, after listening to many reasoning stories, Tang Zhao always felt that the person who disappeared from the beginning and was identified as a candidate for the murder was unlikely to be the murderer. He should have been really dead from the beginning.
Of course stories are stories and facts are facts. Facts don't follow the rules of the story.
Tang Zhao thought of something: "It seems like the people in Ironforge have notes stapled to their bodies? It would be great if we could know what was written. It should have something to do with the motive."
Jiang Shen Yihun said nonchalantly: "We will know tomorrow. This kind of thing must be known to everyone. There were many people at that time, and someone must have seen it and couldn't help but tell others. Long Yuan can't suppress it at all. Tomorrow Everyone will know it in the morning. By the way, let me guess, what do you think the note says?"
Tang Zhao said: "The scariest thing to think about is 'whoever leaves the island will die'."
…
Jiang Shenyi got goosebumps.
Fortunately, Tang Zhao's speculation based on Li's knowledge did not come true.
Early the next morning, what happened last night really caused a stir in the city, and everyone knew the words on the note.
There is only one word, "thief".
The word "thief" evokes many associations. But at least it shows that this is a personal grudge killing, not a random and indiscriminate killing, and others will not be so afraid. Some people speculated that the people in Ironforge must have taken other people's things and been taught a lesson by others. It can only be said that they have no expressions, and the murderers are also bold. Even if they are thieves, this is Jianzhou and Longyuan's territory. How can they kill people directly?
Tang Zhao also met other people who were also talking about this matter, and they chatted for a while. Some straightforward people, such as Yun Xiyan, said that this is not strange. There are similar bastards in Maze City who casually remove the bones of their colleagues and make them scary. . It can be seen that there are still some bold people, but even if they want to be tyrannical, no one can do anything about it.
There are conspiracy theorists such as Mo Ganfeng's Chu Shanxia. Although they did not say it directly, they suspected that Long Yuan himself was responsible. Based on the word "thief", he said: "Don't you all know that Iron Furnace The history of the castle? If you look it up, you will know who is qualified to say that Ironforge is a thief."
The most surprising thing was that after he finished speaking, Wu Yunfei nodded, and even Zhuge Yudan, who had always been calm and gentle, looked thoughtful. It made Tang Zhao really want to look up the history of Ironforge.
Do you want to go to Long Yuan's library to check?
But no matter what, Tang Zhao still didn't believe that Long Yuan would openly kill people from small forces on his own territory. If he wanted to kill people where he couldn't kill them, he had to make people panic here? It's not like a pure madman like Yi Zhixin, who has the intention of intimidation, and is more likely to be the mastermind behind it.
Long Yuan probably thought so too. They implemented martial law and restricted everyone to various areas and were not allowed to move around. Among them, the inhabited area is the strictest. Because there are many people and little land, it is extremely complicated, and everyone is only allowed to stay indoors without leaving the house. At least Tianqu can still move around in the area.
Although extra manpower was deployed to carry out strict inspections, Long Yuan could not go too far. Because they are just hosts, not the government, or even the only big force. Many big forces and even middle forces may not obey him. Even if you are a small force, if you offend too many people and slander you when you go out, this talisman meeting will be in vain.
Even now, Long Yuan is still preparing to hold a successful talisman meeting, and this original intention has never changed.
So Long Yuan stepped up his investigation and quickly arranged for everyone to pick up souvenirs. However, for the sake of safety, most people get a list first, and then they can go to the designated place to pick it up.
The reason why I say most of them is that the winners of the day area will receive preferential treatment. They can go to the warehouse to take a look at the souvenirs that are inconvenient to put on paper.
At noon that day, Qi Yuheng came to Tang Zhao and took him to the warehouse in Jianzhou.
"I wonder how prepared Brother Tang is?"
Qi Yuheng asked with a smile as soon as they met.
For some reason, Tang Zhao always felt that his attitude was much better than yesterday, and his smile was very kind.
Tang Zhao said with some guilt: "I was about to explain to the leader that I was half dreaming last night when I heard my senior brother say that the talisman meeting would be postponed for one day. I couldn't help but feel slack and couldn't finish it in one night. I planned to finish the article today. Ending, I wonder if I missed something?"
Qi Yuheng smiled and said: "It doesn't matter - this is as it should be. It's a good thing to have more time and more preparations. As long as Brother Tang gives me a word, can it be completed tomorrow?"
Tang Zhao said resolutely: "Of course I can."
Qi Yuheng breathed a sigh of relief and said: "In that case, I'll leave it to Brother Tang. Now our manpower is so tight that we can't even find someone to review the manuscript, let alone revise it. We can only ask Brother Tang to do his best."
The two of them came to the souvenir building one after another. This place was a dragon-shaped corridor, with scales and claws from beginning to end, and the end was lifelike, like a dragon lying in a field. Tang Zhao sighed in admiration, and Qi Yuheng led him in from the tail and straight to the head.
"From the outside to the inside, the souvenirs are getting better and better. The goods here at the tail are very ordinary, and they are prepared for people who have never been to Jianzhou. You can take whatever you want. But the good things are all at the beginning. Ministry, you can choose any three."
As the first name, Tang Zhao can take three souvenirs. These three refer to the highest gifts. As for the ordinary and worthless souvenirs at the back, he could use them as extras if he wanted.
There are three common souvenirs, dragon might, dragon chant and dragon scale.
…
Yes, these are the three materials produced by Long Yuan. Considering that they have been closed for hundreds of years, these things have not leaked out at all. They are really piled up. Isn’t it a big deal that every one of the hundreds of people attending the meeting has one?
Seeing this, Tang Zhao remembered that he still had a magical sword in his hand. It's the one that was pulled down from the old abyss. It was a magic weapon that unleashed dragon power. It could be considered a control type, and it was also useful. But Tang Zhao was not satisfied. He planned to find an opportunity to visit Longyuan, and then collect a sword manual so that he could use the simulant.
Dragon Tooth Sword, the Sword of Zhenyuan, it should be very strong, right?
Passing by the negligible souvenirs, the treasures in front are slightly valuable, and the ones further forward are more precious, until the most precious treasures are placed at the front.
Qi Yuheng stopped in the second half. He was not responsible for guiding the way or introducing the materials. He had to rely on the Fu Sword Master's own vision to make choices. Even if he really wanted to sell Tang Zhao, he couldn't take the initiative to speak. If Tang Zhao is hesitant, he doesn't mind giving a hint, but it's impossible for him to introduce cabinet by cabinet like a tour guide or shopping guide and ask, "Do you want to buy it?"
Tang Zhao put on his glasses and walked through the corridor. Although he didn't have to look left and right, he could clearly see every souvenir. He knows what he wants.
Sword blade material, and...
As soon as Tang Zhao stopped, there was a piece of soil placed in front of him.
