After talking with He Xixue.
The two made preliminary plans.
Xu Yang pretended to be a foreign merchant, and Lin Haitang acted as one of his maids.
The two of them wandered around the island secretly, purchasing elixirs, and in the process, they investigated suspicious people.
On He Xixue's side, collect the possible locations where the Disemboweling Robbery Cultivator may appear, his approximate identity, etc.
After talking about this, He Xixue talked about the border situation again.
It was the same as Xu Yang guessed.
After Zhou Baishu arranged for Fan Meimei to reveal the defense plan of this place to the Taiyi Quan Sect, there were frequent changes in the Taiyi Quan Sect.
"I suspect that there are masters from the Taiyi Fist Sect who have come here. They will attack the mine veins at any time and delay my mining plan!"
"It is also possible that we will attack the defense locations."
He Xixue guessed.
She continued: "Fortunately, I have sent close associates to deal with these two places to strictly investigate unknown persons."
"Well done, we must not let the Taiyi Quan Sect feel that the defense here is lax. This will make them afraid to take action." Xu Yang said.
"Well, the next step is to find a way to defend against Taiyi Quan Sect's attack and obtain evidence of Zhou Baishu's collaboration with the enemy."
Although, Xu Yang has Fan Meimei as a witness.
But it is still very difficult to bring down Zhou Baishu with just one witness.
Moreover, Fan Meimei has a communication talisman inserted into her body by Zhou Baishu. Fan Meimei's every move is monitored. If Fan Meimei betrays her, she will probably be killed by Zhou Baishu immediately.
Therefore, Xu Yang's next plan is to let Zhou Baishu continue to show his flaws.
While chatting with He Xixue, Xu Yang and Lin Haitang had already entered a more prosperous area of the city.
In the Heiyue Daofang market, the elixir material prices are relatively low.
Because the spiritual fields here are fertile and elixirs grow in abundance, the size of the city is larger than that of Sanqing Mountain.
After Xu Yang and Lin Haitang had something to eat, they opened a nice room. There were second-level spiritual veins here, which was enough for them to practice.
Rested for a while.
Xu Yang put on a wretched male mask and a businessman's robe, just like a businessman doing business.
During this day, Xu Yang scanned a batch of goods.
Xu Yang discovered that the prices of materials here have increased a lot recently.
It is said that businessmen have a keen sense of the market, and it is indeed true.
They had a premonition that there might be a war due to border friction, so they started to increase prices on many products.
While scanning the goods, Xu Yang also quietly sold a batch of elixirs.
Although the price of the elixir here has always been the wholesale price, overall, due to the recent slight price increase, the price is in line with Xu Yang's psychological expectations.
that's all.
Xu Yang wandered here for many days. On this day, the case happened.
Follow the crowd.
Xu Yang followed a group of passers-by to a river.
The river was rushing, and a female corpse lay on the ground in disheveled clothes.
On her head was a yarmulke! !
"This yarmulke belonged to a businessman who was in the robe business. Now it appears here... it's him, it's him, the evil cultivator."
A businessman-looking man shouted in horror.
Suddenly, the crowd was in panic.
"Is this the fifth one?"
"Every few days, someone is killed. It's really scary."
"It seems we have to leave here, otherwise, the next person to die may be one of us."
A female nun dressed as an aunt and carrying a basket said in horror.
Many people nodded in agreement and thought about leaving here.
Xu Yang noticed that at this time, someone took the opportunity to spread panic rumors and persuade people to leave here.
Among them, the aunt who just spoke and the monks around her are the most suspicious.
He secretly recorded their breaths.
"Get out of the way, the Law Enforcement Department is handling the case!!"
Soon, a team of people from the Law Enforcement Department arrived.
Among them, Zhao Liyan actually led the team in person. It was obvious that Zhao Liyan attached great importance to this case.
Xu Yang disappeared among the crowd and noticed that after the body was opened, the internal organs of the deceased were hollowed out.
Someone exclaimed: "Her name is Luo Yan, she is a spiritual planter. Her husband died a few years ago and she has been living alone these years. I remember she has a necklace around her neck."
Now, the necklace around the woman's neck has been removed.
Obviously, the murderer planned to put the necklace on the next deceased person as a token of his murder.
At the same time, there was a letter left in the corpse's arms.
Xu Yang's pupils shrank.
The killing techniques of the disemboweling evil cultivator are all matched one by one! !
After this person kills someone, he will leave a letter to provoke others.
Zhao Liyan picked up the letter, opened it and read it.
In the letter, it was recorded how the evil cultivator discovered the woman and how he killed her.
Very detailed! !
"Tortured for two hours!! This bastard."
Zhao Liyan was so angry that she cursed.
Xu Yang looked at the corpse and sighed. Frankly speaking, it is indeed difficult to track down such an 'omnivore' serial evil cultivator.
Because he is not fixed and has no fixed target, it is difficult to get started.
Xu Yang looked around.
Considering that the murderer has the habit of returning to the scene, he guessed whether the murderer would be among the crowd at this time.
Unfortunately, I didn't find anyone strange.
There are two possibilities.
First, the murderer had excellent disguise skills and successfully deceived him!
Second, the murderer simply didn't come over.
…………
Xu Yang frowned as he watched the people from the Law Enforcement Department move the body.
"Depending on the current investigation direction, it may be difficult to find the murderer."
Xu Yang believed that Zhao Liyan must have the ability to serve as the director of the Law Enforcement Department for so long, but now she was at her wits' end and tried every means possible.
Seeing Zhao Liyan sweating profusely, Xu Yang shook his head. He might not be able to find the murderer in a short time.
"It's a pity that this world doesn't have things like DNA and fingerprints as investigation directions! Otherwise, the investigation should be much easier."
Xu Yang thought.
He even thought of psychological profiling, psychological criminology and other investigation methods.
Thinking of this, Xu Yang suddenly felt something in his heart.
“Yeah, psychological criminology!!”
Doesn’t this evil cultivation conform to psychological criminology?
He wrote provocative letters to the Department of Law Enforcement and even left the victim's belongings for the next victim.
Even torture them...
This step by step is to satisfy his own desires. He wants to be famous and succeed.
He wants to prove to the world that he is strong! ! !
Xu Yang recalled some criminal psychology programs he watched in his previous life.
Once upon a time, Jack the Ripper in London and some serial murderers in the United States all had one characteristic.
Narcissism and wanting to prove yourself.
Xu Yang began to recall these contents, trying to find common ground between the criminals in those documentaries and this evil cultivator! !
Generally, serial murderers like this have a perverted mentality. When this happens, they have encountered major setbacks.
This evil cultivator desperately wants to prove that he is strong, so in life, he is definitely not a strong person.
At least, there are some flaws.
"Well, based on this analysis, we can rule out that he is a master, at least he is definitely not a golden elixir monk."
Xu Yang estimated that it was probably a fake elixir, and it was unlikely to be a real elixir, and it was even less likely to be a golden elixir.
It was precisely because of the failure in forming the elixir that he felt lacking.
Plus, there may be physical deficiencies as well.
Xu Yang thought about the dead for a moment.
Most of them are women.
This person may have suffered a lot from women and hates women.
Suddenly, he thought of a case he had seen in his previous life. A police detective used the murderer's arrogant and narcissistic character to come up with a way to catch them.
That destroys his source of confidence!
How to destroy it?
In that case in the previous life, the police detective deliberately announced to the public that the criminal had been found.
The real murderer was furious because he didn't want the fruits of his labor to be 'stolen' by others! !
So he was very angry and tried to kill this fake 'murderer'.
Just like that, he was caught by the waiting police detective.
After thinking about it, he sent a message to He Xixue and said that he had thought of a way.
He Xixue, who was in seclusion, was summoned and raised her eyebrows slightly.
"Is it okay to provoke this evil cultivator??"
Xu Yang said that he could try it.
Even if you fail, it won't affect anything.
"Okay, it's up to you."
He Xixue decided to give it a try.
Because there was no other way, Zhao Liyan personally investigated the case in the past few days, but unfortunately found nothing.
This person's whereabouts are really mysterious and erratic, and I have no idea when he will make his next move.
You can’t have someone protecting you everywhere, right?
If he did this or that, I'm afraid this evil cultivator wouldn't be here anymore and would have moved to another place long ago.
And Xu Yang's method might make this person come to him on his own initiative.
She didn't know if it would succeed.
But just like Xu Yang said, you can try it, it won’t affect anything anyway.
That evening.
There is news from the Law Enforcement Department that the disemboweling evil cultivator has been caught.
But he was caught by a powerful female cultivator who was in the late stage of foundation building.
