The scene was quiet. Qingyi Ke was a little worried and secretly alert. The other party was an elder of the Yinnu Sect. He could obtain the status of an elder in a sect like the Yinnu Sect. The other party's cultivation level was not lower than his own, even if there were three people on his side. , I'm afraid he won't be able to get any favors if he takes action, and besides, he doesn't dare to really take action against the Yinnu Cult.
But some things must be explained clearly. Following the clues found in the murder case, we can't let it go just because the other party reveals his identity as the elder of the Yinnu Cult. What's more, he has other thoughts of his own.
The woman said: "I just killed him, I don't know about the rest."
The guest in green asked: "You killed him, how could you not know?"
The woman shook her head and said: "Killing is a very simple thing, so I will do it. What happens after the person dies naturally has nothing to do with me."
These words were unexpectedly recognized by Gu Chen. In his opinion, some things should be simpler and not made so complicated. Just like he didn't have to give up his cultivation, let alone go down the mountain and return to earth, but he But he did unnecessary things, but when he thought about it, it seemed wrong, because his original intention of doing it was to make things simpler and not to implicate Master Dongyang, but the result seemed to be contrary to what he thought, although he did not implicate him. Master Dongyang did this.
The guest in Tsing Yi was silent, knowing that as the woman was, there was really no need to lie, but there were many puzzling things about the matter. He looked at the woman and said, "His brain was eaten. I need to find out the truth."
Being eaten and disappearing are two completely different concepts. All the residents of the town turned pale when they heard this. Some of them had too much imagination and ran away with their mouths covered. The sound of vomiting was heard not far away. .
Gu Chen looked solemn and understood what "evil means" were.
The woman turned her head and looked at Yang Chan, whose face was bloodless and covering her mouth, and then said coldly: "One day."
"What?"
"I only give you one day. You still can't find out by tomorrow. If you stop me again, don't blame me for being rude."
After saying that, she didn't wait for Qingyi Guest's response and walked back to the inn with Yang Chan.
The guest in Tsing Yi stood there for a while, and then left with the two people. He secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and finally half of his goal was achieved.
If you let that woman leave, you don't know where she will go, and you won't know if she has discovered that thing, and how much she has discovered, and whether she can stabilize her day by day. As for tomorrow... let's talk about it tomorrow!
He came to Old Man Xu's house. There were also several people from Xuanmumen here. He looked at the body, especially the empty head. The man in green sighed slightly and asked, "Who is this?"
"Master, this is already the thirteenth household."
The guest in Qingyi asked "a", but the disciple answered "house" because in the previous murder cases, no one living in the same house was alive. Sometimes one body was left behind, and sometimes two were left behind. One corpse, sometimes three corpses, or even more.
This is not the first time this kind of thing has happened. The previous corpses were all handled by Xuanmumen in time, without letting the residents see it. However, the murderer was never found. This time, an eyewitness unexpectedly appeared, which made everyone aware of the incident. , but this accident was also used by Tsing Yi Ke as an excuse to retain the elders of the Yinnu Cult, which can be regarded as making the best use of everything.
The only fly in the ointment is that he followed the clues and found the person involved. The other person also admitted to the murder, but had nothing to do with this series of evil incidents.
The disciple next to him asked in a low voice: "Sect Master, who could have done such a thing?"
"You ask me, who am I going to ask!?" Qingyi Ke suddenly became furious, "Everyone is a waste. They have been secretly investigating for so long and found nothing. You actually want the sect leader to come here in person? You guys What do each of them do for food!?”
The Xuanmumen disciples all kept silent and did not dare to reply. They had been secretly investigating, but not only did they find nothing, but they also felt ashamed as they watched murders happen one after another under their noses.
The man in green clothes asked again: "How many lost children are there in total? How many have been found? Are they alive or dead?"
"There are a total of nineteen lost children. No trace has been found. They are alive and dead... I don't know."
Qing Yi smiled politely and pointed at the disciples beside him, trembling slightly. All the disciples lowered their heads and did not dare to look at him.
"Leave half of your manpower to watch over Qingmu Town, while everyone else goes to the woods to search. Don't let go of any clues. Remember, if you find any suspicious whereabouts..."
The guest in Tsing Yi paused for a moment, narrowed his eyes slightly, but his thoughts were changing rapidly and he was hesitant. After a long while, he slowly said: "Don't scare the snake, find out the identity of the other party, and then make a long-term plan when you come back."
"yes."
As the disciples' arrangements continued, Qingyi Ke stared at the old man Xu's body for a long time, and murmured: "Even the dead are not spared, who could have done it?"
…
…
The woman took Yang Chan back to the inn, and everyone at Xuanmumen also left. However, the street did not become quiet because of this. Instead, it became more lively because the immortal masters with great magical powers were gone.
People were talking a lot, talking about the lost children and the dead people before, and then they summarized and concluded that the accident happened to each family, and once the accident happened, no one could escape, even if it was a few days after the disappearance of old man Xu’s granddaughter Time passed, but old man Xu still died in his own home.
Then they talked about the death of old man Xu, and slowly became quiet, and then walked away one after another. They didn't know who the next family would be in trouble. They were afraid that they were the people who were having deep conversations with them at this time. People with whom I have close friendships are even more afraid that it will be my turn next.
In the past, Xuanmumen had always secretly disposed of the corpses because of such worries. Once certain specific situations were known, not only would it not help solve the problem, but it would intensify people's fear, and more people chose to leave. Even if the immortal master has already come here.
Gu Chen's eyes always fell on the door of the inn, where people were coming in and out in a hurry, but he never saw Yang Chan again. He wanted to know how Yang Chan was doing now and what would happen in the future, and then he was thinking Are they really going to leave early tomorrow morning?
While thinking wildly, he suddenly felt waves of hot air blowing against his face. Gu Chen turned his head and saw a cage of steamed buns in front of him. He glanced at it and saw that there were four of them.
Zhang Dashan, the owner of the bun shop, casually sat next to him, pointed to the four buns one by one, and said: "This is pork, this is bean paste, this is bamboo shoots, and this is cabbage. The ingredients are all newly bought today. They are exactly right." It's fresh, but I think you won't be able to eat it, and it won't taste good after being stored for a long time, so I made these four first and brought them over, and you can eat them first."
Zhang Dashan left in a hurry early in the morning to go back and make steamed buns?
Gu Chen also felt hungry in his belly, but he did not rush to get those buns to eat, but said seriously: "Uncle Dashan, I still owe you two copper coins. I may not be able to pay you back, let alone eight... No, here comes ten coppers."
Zhang Dashan laughed and said: "Not counting the meat buns before, I invited you to eat them."
Gu Chen stared at the four steaming buns without blinking and said, "I can't even get out eight copper coins."
Zhang Dashan looked at him with a smile in his eyes and said, "I've treated you to a steamed bun, so it's no different if I treat you to another steamed bun."
Gu Chen glanced at him with wandering eyes, but was immediately attracted by the hot buns. He spoke slightly slurred and said, "Here are four buns."
Zhang Dashan stretched out his hand, pointed at them one by one, and said at the same time: "One by one, they are all the same buns."
Gu Chen reached out and picked up a bun. He forgot what kind of stuffing Zhang Dashan just said, so he opened his mouth and bit into it. He couldn't help but said: "It's delicious."
Zhang Dashan laughed.
Gu Chen felt that the taste of this bun was very familiar. He found that it was the same as the one he ate yesterday. It was stuffed with pork. He was very moved. He looked at Zhang Dashan and also smiled and said: "Uncle Dashan, you are very interesting and a good person. .”
