The next day, a group of green card hunters gathered in the courtyard.
Since the establishment of the pursuit team, it has been a rule to meet once every morning and evening to compile clues and discuss the case.
Sometimes Jiang Wang can participate, sometimes not, often depending on the importance of the case.
When he came out today, he made a special observation and found that Ma Xiong's expression was a little unnatural.
Obviously Yue Leng's methods are quite frightening, and even Ma Xiong, a fourth-level green brand head catcher who has dealt with punishment all year round, has difficulty adapting.
But Lin Youxie's expression remained as usual. I don’t know if it’s because her will is unusually strong, or if it’s just something she’s become accustomed to.
King Taishan was still in the living room, and the screams had stopped at dawn. He didn't know whether he was dead or alive.
After everyone was almost there, Yue Leng wiped his hands carefully with a handkerchief and walked out slowly.
This action inevitably reminds people of what kind of torture Yue Leng used these hands to perform.
Ma Xiong looked around and frowned: "Where is Liu Jieren? Why hasn't he come yet when the time comes? Are there any rules? Do you want Mr. Yue to wait for him?"
Liu Jie is one of the ten green-branded head catchers in the Neifu realm.
Ma Xiong is a pretty good person, and he is relatively protective of his colleagues. He reprimanded first just to protect Liu Jie from waiting for Yue Leng to lose his temper.
"I didn't see anyone when I passed by his room." A green-branded head catcher said hesitantly.
This mission of chasing down Hell Wumen has attracted the attention of Emperor Qi. It’s a good opportunity for promotion, but it’s also very strict.
Everyone in the pursuit team, except Jiang Wang, must be strictly controlled. If anyone dares to neglect their duties during the handling of the case, it is simply because they do not take their own future seriously.
Everyone present was a veteran head catcher, and they immediately realized something was wrong.
"When was the last time you saw Liu Jie?" Yue Leng asked.
"It should be yesterday." The same green-branded head catcher said, "Yesterday when you interrogated King Taishan, we went back to our rooms. He lives next door to me."
Yue Leng asked again: "Are you sure he didn't go out?"
"I can only confirm that he did go back to his room yesterday. But whether he left after that or where he went, I don't know."
This green head catcher is very strict in his words.
They are all in the inner palace realm and are colleagues. Generally, no one will stare at each other all day long. If Liu Jie went out secretly, it would be difficult for him to find out.
Ma Xiong directly asserted: "Something must have happened to Liu Jie."
Yue Leng frowned and said nothing.
Liu Jie is also an experienced green card player. How could he leave the station silently at this time? Did you find any clues? If something happens to him, where will it happen?
Everyone was discussing and analyzing various possibilities.
Suddenly, someone from Bei County came in to report.
"The body of Wupin Qingpai leader Liu Jie was found by the Tanzhu River. The county has sealed off the surrounding area. Do you want to go and investigate?"
Liu Jie's body is by the Tanzhu River!
The pursuit team has been chasing Wumen in Bay County for a while, and they are no strangers to the Pearl River.
It is a small river, a tributary of the Zihe River. It is said that in the early years, this river was rich in pearls, and many people made a fortune by picking up pearls. Many years have passed and the pearls have long disappeared, but the name of Tanzhu River has been retained.
In terms of distance, it's not too far from their current location. At normal speed, they can get there and back in half a stick of incense.
It was a wise choice for the Bay County Government to seal off the surrounding area to protect the environment and wait for the pursuit team to investigate. Because when it comes to finding clues, no one in Bay County can match them.
But in any case, Liu Jie's death cast a shadow over the pursuit.
"Did Captou Liu die by the Tanzhu River, or did his body appear in the Tanzhu River after his death?" Yue Leng's question went straight to the point.
"Um..." The man sent by the Bay County Government looked hesitant: "How about you send someone here to take a look?"
"What? Your Qingpai here in Bay County can't even confirm this kind of thing? Otherwise, just take off the brand!" Ma Xiong said in a bad tone.
Although it is impossible for the Qingpai head catcher from Bei County to compare with the Qingpai head catcher from Beiya, he is not unable to make this level of judgment. It is just that this person does not dare to confirm for fear of taking responsibility.
After Ma Xiong pressed him like this, he could no longer shirk the blame and could only say: "He died by the Tanzhu River."
"I know very well Liu Jie. He is not someone who neglects his duties. The reason why he went to explore the Pearl River must be that he found some clues." Ma Xiong volunteered: "Master Yue, I will take someone to take a look."
Yue Leng shook his head: "No. You all stay here, I will take a look myself."
How Liu Jie died by the Tanzhu River is still unclear. But it cannot be ruled out that Hell has no way to lure the tiger away from the mountain. After all, King Taishan, the seventh in the Ten Halls of Yama, is now in the hands of the pursuit team.
At the same time, we cannot ignore the possible clues on the other side of the Pearl River. A green-branded head catcher left his life there, and the God-catcher Yue Leng cannot ignore it.
And if Liu Jie's death is really related to Hell Without a Gate, it would be very dangerous for Ma Xiong to lead the team there.
Yue Leng went to Tanzhu River alone to search for clues. Four foreign-level green-brand headhunters guarded the station, which was undoubtedly the safest choice.
Even if there is really no way to lure the tiger away from the mountain, there is no need to worry that the station will be easily breached if there are four foreign-level green brand leaders. Moreover, Yue Leng himself can return support at any time, and even the Bei County Prefecture will not hesitate to provide support once they notice the movement.
It is almost impossible to rescue King Taishan from Hell.
Don’t forget, there is another Yan family in Bei County. Former Prime Minister Yan Ping is recuperating in the clan area. If anything happens to disturb him...
In short, the pursuit team has the advantage, so there is nothing to worry about.
Yue Leng works vigorously and resolutely, and leaves immediately without any delay.
Ma Xiong also showed sufficient qualities as a veteran. After arranging everyone's tasks on the spot, he personally moved a chair and sat in front of the living room door.
The other arresters also quickly dispersed, patrolling and stationing, and they were well-trained.
But from beginning to end, no one thought about going in to take a look at King Taishan.
Jiang Wang thought about it briefly and made a quick decision. While the others dispersed, he walked directly to Ma Xiong and said to him, "Ma Shatou, I plan to leave today."
Ma Xiong knew about the deal between Zheng Shi and Zhong Xuansheng, so he was not surprised. He just glanced at Jiang Wang and said, "Now?"
"I'm very pressed for time and can't stay any longer." Jiang Wang replied.
The real reason is certainly not the case.
King Taishan was captured, Liu Jie died, and the pursuit team's pursuit of Hell's Gateless immediately entered an intense moment. There is a tendency that the mountain and rain are about to come and the wind will fill the building.
Jiang Wang didn't want to get involved in this big trouble, so he decided to get out as soon as possible.
Of course, it was more or less related to Lin Youxie's eyes that seemed to be able to penetrate people's hearts. He didn't want to reveal any secrets.
Ma Xiong thought for a while, but was not embarrassed and just said: "You can leave when Mr. Yue comes back."
"Okay." Jiang Wang didn't bargain, and turned back to the room to pack his things. He could still afford to wait for half a stick of incense or less.
But just when he stepped out of the yard, something happened!
Ma Xiong was originally sitting on a chair, and the bright morning sun cast a shadow under him.
At this moment, in this shadow, a pale hand suddenly appeared!
Cold, icy, and silent.
