Ash Lane.
Wang Cheng stared in one direction and said, "Did you notice something flashing past just now?"
Xu Chao and Yang Si, who were standing next to him, looked at each other and then shook their heads at the same time.
"Did you see it wrong?"
Because of the bonus of the Soul-Eating Pearl, Wang Cheng's eyesight is extremely good, especially since his telekinesis cultivation has reached the realm of controlling objects. He can see clearly things a hundred meters away.
He still believed his eyes, so he took Xu Chao, Yang Si and others and went straight there.
The group of people came to the poorest section of Huitu Lane. Every house here was in a very dilapidated state.
Basically, each courtyard has only one room. The courtyard looks like it has existed for tens or hundreds of years. It may suddenly collapse one day.
Wang Cheng walked slowly on the road, his mind power spreading to both sides like radar.
When he reached a courtyard, he suddenly stopped, his body flashed, and the person appeared in the courtyard.
The yard is not big and there is no one around.
Several other people followed them into the courtyard. Xu Chao looked around and said, "Sir, is there something wrong with this courtyard?"
Wang Cheng's nose twitched and said, "Did you smell a strange smell?"
Yang went to the tomb and was quite sensitive to the smell. He sniffed it for a while and said, "It seems a little strange, a little fishy, and a little strong."
Wang Cheng walked to a place, leaned down, and looked at the ground carefully.
It's not all dry, there's about a meter of it that's moist, and that's where the smell comes out.
Yang Si also came closer, looked at it curiously for a while, and then stretched out a finger to poke underneath.
"Don't touch it!"
Wang Cheng grabbed his hand and scolded: "Do you want to die? Just touch it?"
Yang Si was startled and stammered: "Is there... a problem here?"
Wang Cheng said solemnly: "If my guess is correct, this is the corpse water left behind when the bone powder is melted away from the corpse!"
"What?"
Yang Si was really frightened at this moment, and he immediately retreated several meters away.
Everyone present knew about bone powder, and there were few people in the world who had not heard of it. It was a highly toxic substance that could turn an adult into a puddle of corpse water in just a few dozen seconds.
At the Lianyunbao Secret Road, Wang Cheng used the name of this thing to scare off the master Yang Dalong.
In fact, Wang Cheng only knew something about bone powder, and his master, Doctor Zhang, accidentally mentioned it. If he was asked to prepare such a poison, he would not know how to do it.
"Sir, there's one here too!" Xu Chao said, pointing to another area of damp ground.
Wang Cheng looked at the two wetlands and said: "The ground is not completely dry yet, so it took less than half a stick of incense to take action."
"Who did it?"
Everyone couldn't help but be a little curious.
Using bone powder is obviously destroying the corpse and eradicating traces. The person who did it did not want anyone to find out the identity of the deceased.
"Huh?"
Wang Cheng's eyes suddenly lit up. He quickly came to the door of the small courtyard, and then took out something from the joint between the threshold and the corner of the wall.
It was a metal ball the size of a baby's fist, shiny and glowing with golden light.
When Yang Si came to the front, he was immediately attracted by the metal ball. He was about to snatch it away out of habit, but he stretched his hand into the air and stopped again.
"Iron gall, it looks like it's plated with gold. It won't be like this for ten or twenty years. What a treasure!"
"Do you know whose this belongs to?" Wang Cheng asked back.
Yang Si shook his head and said, "How do I know who it belongs to?"
Wang Cheng said: "Jin Jiuye!"
"Jin Jiuye?" Yang Si was surprised again.
They came here just to catch Jin Jiuye. Now that no one saw it, they found Jin Jiuye's personal belongings. Combined with the corpse water left by the bone powder on the ground, everyone thought that Jin Jiuye might have died. Here it is!
"He won't really die here, right?" Yang Si couldn't believe it.
"Sir, if this is really where Jin Jiuye left it, how come there are two traces here?" Xu Chao said, pointing to the two wetlands in front and behind.
Wang Cheng didn't think about it for a moment, and immediately ordered Xu Chao: "Notify other Xuanwei to block all entrances and exits of Huitu Lane, and no one is allowed to enter or exit at will!"
He added: "Also! If you find a suspicious person, don't do anything. Send a signal as soon as possible!"
Regarding Jin Jiuye's identity information, the spies of the Hou Mansion have already investigated everything.
This person joined the Yulong Gang more than thirty years ago, but he has always been a small role, doing low-level jobs like running errands, but he has also accumulated a certain network of contacts.
This laid the foundation for him to take the stage later.
Six years ago, the fourth year of Zhaowu, Ninghou Zhou Zhaoguang settled in Tiandu Mansion and purged the Yulong Gang. Although Jin Jiuye had a small status at that time, he was not considered a high-level executive. He barely made it to the middle level and luckily escaped the purge.
Since most of the middle and high-level members of the Yulong Gang were wiped out, he became a senior member. On the surface, he was in charge of Bai Yutang, which sold gold and silver jewelry, but secretly he was developing the Yulong Gang.
After six years of development, the Yulong Gang has regained a lot of popularity. The gang has grown from less than a hundred members to nearly a thousand members. Jin Jiuye has contributed a lot to this. In the past two years, he has become the talkative person of the Yulong Gang. His methods are evident.
Such a person with superb methods and scheming, and also strong strength. Now that he is dying here, the person who took action must be an extremely powerful person!
Xuanwei would definitely get no benefit from confronting that person, and he would risk someone else's life if he didn't do it.
After everyone split up, Wang Cheng did not leave immediately, but continued to investigate the place.
Although the yard is dilapidated, it has all the living facilities, the ground has been taken care of, and it is inhabited.
Suddenly, Wang Cheng noticed the little horse in the courtyard. To be more precise, it was the cigarette ashes beside the little horse.
Wang Cheng squatted down, with a little cigarette ashes stuck to his fingers, some of which had not yet been burned off. A picture immediately appeared in his mind.
A figure was smoking a cigarette. The tobacco was not very flammable and the last few puffs tasted bad, so he knocked it on the ground a few times to clear the cigarette butt, which would otherwise be blocked.
He brought the cigarette ashes to his nose again and took a whiff. The next second, his expression changed.
There are actually drug ingredients in this tobacco!
A smoker actually adds intoxicating drugs to his tobacco. Isn't he afraid that he will be intoxicated as well?
wrong!
Wang Cheng suddenly thought of a medicinal herb, had some ideas in his mind, and quickly left the yard.
Huitu Alley is an east-west alley, nearly a mile long, with six entrances and exits.
There are two major entrances in the east-west direction and four smaller entrances in the north-south direction.
Xuanwei acted very quickly. After receiving the order, the other Xuanwei scattered in Huitu Alley immediately blocked all six entrances and exits with Luzhai.
On the roof of the house near the entrance and exit, there are also Xuanwei guarding them. They stand high up with iron-armed copper crossbows to ensure that they can see whether anyone is passing by in the air nearby.
The search work on the ground did not stop. Xu Chao and Long Tao each led a team to search.
The blockade is so tight that almost no pedestrians can be seen walking in the entire Huitu Alley.
At an entrance to the south, an old man in green clothes was walking slowly.
There was a cloth bag hanging on his shoulder, and in his right hand he held a flag with three big characters "Accurate Calculation" written on it. In his left hand he had a pure copper bell, which he shook step by step while singing:
Qiankun is in need of lawyers. Is it better than a small animal to live in peace?
The fellows are very modest and hesitant to follow, and the poison comes to watch and bites the bile.
There is no such thing as a large animal, and it has a distance of thirty preparations.
…
When Xuanwei who was blocking the road saw this person, he immediately yelled: "Stop the person coming! Tell me your identity!"
At the same time, several other Xuanwei aimed their iron-armed copper crossbows at the man.
The old man in green said: "I, Zhang Banxian, make a living by telling fortunes. Mr. Liu from the south of the city would like to go to his house to divine fortunes. Can you, sir, be of convenience and let me pass by?"
The Xuanwei said with a strong attitude: "No one is allowed to enter or leave here without the order of the Marquis!"
The old man in green suddenly said: "This master's seal has turned black, and there will be a bloody disaster within three days!"
The Xuanwei was stunned for a moment, then a bright light suddenly flashed before his eyes, and his neck felt cold.
Breathing becomes difficult for a moment!
He grabbed his neck with both hands, and a stream of heat spurted out between his fingers, and he couldn't stop it no matter what.
"Send... a letter..."
He shouted desperately, really desperately, and finally shouted the last word "order", and then fell on his back.
"Quick! Send the signal!"
Several other people finally came to their senses after a brief panic, and each took out the flares from their arms.
When the old man in green saw this, his expression changed. He finally stopped hiding himself and disappeared in an instant.
The next moment, several cyan figures appeared in front of several Xuanwei almost at the same time.
No one knew how he would take action, but a few rays of light passed through their bodies, and blood immediately splattered everywhere.
The dignified Xuanwei were all above the Qi and Blood realm, but they couldn't even catch the opponent's moves.
"A bloody disaster!"
The old man in green looked at the several corpses on the ground and shook his head, but then his color changed.
"call out!"
A signal bomb suddenly shot into the air, and then exploded with a "boom", and the sound spread hundreds of meters.
The one who sent out the signal bomb was Xuan Wei who was guarding the roof!
The old man in green was no longer as calm as before, and he didn't even care to deal with the mysterious guard on the roof. He disappeared in the dust alley in a flash.
Soon, Wang Cheng, Xu Chao, Yang Si and others appeared here.
The Xuanwei who was lucky enough to escape with his life saw Wang Cheng and immediately told him what had just happened.
"Zhang Banxian?"
Wang Cheng asked Xu Chao and the Xuanwei people who had been living here if they had heard of this person, and they shook their heads at the same time.
"Sir, is the person who took action just now the same person who killed Jin Jiuye?" Xu Chao asked.
"Probably!"
Wang Cheng was not completely sure, because he had a doubt in his mind. The man who killed Jin Jiuye smoked, and Zhang Banxian was a fortune teller, and his identity and image did not match at all.
He came to several corpses and examined them carefully. He found that they were all dead with one blow, and the wounds were deep and large.
It's like a sword wound but not a sword wound. The sword wound is not that big, but it's not like a knife wound. After all, the knife wounds are mainly from chopping.
He then carefully looked at the corpse whose head and body had been separated. The wound was very flat and had been severed by a single blow.
You know, the neck is the key point of the human body. When facing a person to kill, the victim will inevitably dodge. If you want to kill with one blow, how fast must you be!
Moreover, the attack must be extremely powerful, otherwise it will be difficult to cut off a person's neck.
Who is taking action?
Is he the same person who killed Jin Jiuye?
