Chapter 23 Serial Murder Cases
"Brother Bai, can we stay here for two more days?" Yao Jie asked softly.
According to Bai Fei's wishes, he wanted to set off for Baihua Hall immediately. Firstly, he wanted to send Yao Jie home for safety, and secondly, he wanted to finish the work as soon as possible and rush to Paradise Palace. He shouldered the Tianxuan Sect's eagerness for him. Hope, I want to calm down and practice before the conference starts, to see if I can get a better grasp of it.
"Yes, Brother Fei, didn't that person say there will be an auction here in two days?" Yun Ling said.
Yun Ling didn't know why she knew Bai Fei's name for Yao Jie so quickly. She stopped calling him senior brother and shamelessly called him brother Fei. Originally, she didn't even dare to say this title to death, but now It's becoming more and more natural to scream. Not only that, she also urged Bai Fei not to call her junior sister again. Bai Fei didn't pay attention to what she was thinking, but he happily agreed to her. But this sudden change made Yao Jie on the side think a lot.
If not for Yun Ling's reminder, Bai Fei really didn't pay attention to what Ouyang Chisun said. Except for the strange plant, they didn't find anything interesting here. He actually wanted to go to the auction to see it. Look, maybe he really has something he needs, not to mention, he can also take this opportunity to auction off some outdated things and exchange them for some crystal stones for emergencies.
"Okay then, let's wait until the auction is over before setting off." Bai Fei nodded.
The three of them continued to stay in the inn, each still sharing a room.
Bai Fei told the two girls that he had something to do and would not be back until the morning the day after tomorrow. He told them to stay in the inn as much as possible. If they wanted to go out for a walk, they should not go alone or go too far. The two women nodded in agreement. After that, Yao Jie said goodbye and went back to her room. Yun Ling handed Bai Fei a few bottles of Ningshen Pill and left.
Bai Fei had a plan. He wanted to enter the Shentian Ring to deal with some matters. He carefully calculated the time, recited the mantra silently, and entered the space of the Shentian Ring.
After regaining his memory, Bai Fei also knew that the small village in front of him was exactly what he named "Xia Yin Village". At this moment, Xia Yin Village still looks the same, but those familiar people have disappeared. Looking at those familiar houses, Bai Fei's heart is racing, and he misses Qing'er, Xiu'er and Lu'er a lot. A few points.
In the Shentian Ring, except for some buildings, basically everything related to that special world is no longer there. However, two things did not disappear, and Bai Fei was very lucky. In an icehouse they spent all their efforts digging, the ten-thousand-year-old ice still existed, as well as the two peach trees he got from Kunlun Wonderland.
Although it is said that even without the existence of the ice bank and the blessing of the huge spiritual energy of the Shentian Ring, the countless flesh and blood of the monsters will not rot and deteriorate, it is not very elegant after all. Bai Fei spent a lot of time piling all the flesh and blood into the icehouse. Because there was no one to manage it, the things he collected were in a mess. He sorted them into categories again and finally took the bonsai to the two trees. Beside the peach tree.
The two flat peach trees grew more and more luxuriantly. They were originally only one person tall, but now they were two or three feet tall. When he first got these two peach trees, each of them only had two fruits. But now he saw that each tree had so many fruits that he couldn't even count them. He thought that when he lost his memory, these flat peaches helped him a lot.
As soon as Bai Fei placed the bonsai between the two flat peach trees, he heard a "bang" and the porcelain pot containing the strange plant broke into pieces. Then, a flat peach fell out of the tree with a "bang". It fell to the ground. Bai Fei was confused when he saw the flat peach rotting quickly and sinking into the soil in an instant. He was so surprised that he couldn't help but look at the strange plant, and he became excited. He saw that there were only two leaves on the stem, but now another leaf appeared, although it was not as big as the previous two leaves. It’s big, but it’s definitely extra.
Bai Fei thought about it for a long time, but still didn't understand the reason. In the end, he concluded that this thing absorbed the nutrients of the flat peach, and coupled with the unique aura of the Shentian Ring, it was able to start growing normally. He was very happy. Anyway, there were a lot of flat peaches, and now he was really looking forward to what kind of things this little thing would grow. He waited for a while and found that no more peaches fell from the tree, and the little thing naturally had no further changes. He was anxious and couldn't eat hot tofu, so he stopped thinking about it.
Bai Fei had just left Xiayin Village and returned to the inn room. Before he could take a breath, he heard a shout from downstairs. After a while, the door was knocked open and he was taken to the lobby by two security guards.
"Xiao Jie, where is Ling'er?" Bai Fei asked Yao Jie without seeing Yun Ling's figure.
"Probably not down yet."
After waiting for a while, all the members of the Self-Defense Forces had gathered, but Bai Fei still didn't see Yun Ling.
"Master Ouyang, there is a friend of mine above." Bai Fei couldn't help but said when he saw that Ouyang Chisun was about to speak, but Yun Ling was nowhere to be seen.
Ouyang Chisun was stunned for a moment, turned around and asked a few questions to his men, then came back and said to Bai Fei: "Everyone in the inn is here."
"Impossible!" Bai Fei felt inexplicably worried and immediately rushed upstairs.
"Let him go." Ouyang Chisun waved his hand when he saw that his men were trying to stop Bai Fei. At this time, Yao Jie seemed to sense that something was wrong and rushed upstairs. Ouyang Chisun hesitated for a moment, confessed, and followed him upstairs.
"Ling'er, Ling'er..."
Bai Fei called anxiously, but Yun Ling was nowhere to be seen in the room.
"Xiaojie, where is Ling'er?" Bai Fei asked anxiously.
"Yesterday I was still here chatting with Sister Yun Ling. I didn't go back to the room until the evening. We didn't go out at all during this time..." Yao Jie said.
"Master Ouyang, may I ask, what happened?" Bai Fei turned to Ouyang Chisun and asked.
"I just got the news that a murder occurred in the city..."
"What? Who is it?" Bai Fei said in shock.
"Please rest assured, brother, he is not your friend, but you also know this person. He is the old man who sold you the bonsai the day before yesterday. It is initially suspected that this is a murder case. We have checked his Corpse, the middle-grade crystal stone you gave him has been taken away..."
"Sir, do you suspect that I did it?"
"Originally, you were indeed suspected, but I learned about the situation. The innkeeper said that you and your two friends have not been out at all since you came back the day before yesterday, and this murder happened yesterday afternoon, so I believe you."
"Thank you, sir. I wonder if I can leave for a while?"
"...That's fine." Ouyang Chisun said in silence for a while.
"Thank you, Xiaojie, wait for me at the inn."
"Brother Bai, I..."
"Xiaojie, be obedient. Sir, take your leave." With that said, Bai Fei opened the window and disappeared in a flash.
When Ouyang Chisun saw him leaving, he hugged Yao Jie and left. Seeing that he had no intention of telling him to go down to gather, Yao Jie stayed in the room. After thinking about it for a while, he looked at the open window. Sighed slightly.
In the afternoon, Bai Fei came back. He has searched all over the place within a hundred miles, but he can't feel the presence of Yun Ling at all. Is it possible that he is just like Yao Jie's two senior sisters, who were killed and disappeared with corpse powder? Bai Fei was really unwilling to accept such an idea. However, with his cultivation and powerful spiritual consciousness, why can't he even sense the slightest breath as long as the cloud is alive?
"Brother Bai..." Seeing Bai Fei's dejected look, Yao Jie knew there was no news about Yun Ling.
"Alas." Bai Fei sighed.
"Brother Bai, I'm sorry. It was me who failed to protect Sister Yun Ling. I..."
"Xiaojie, I don't blame you -"
"No, Brother Bai, why didn't I notice anything like this happened? If it hadn't been for me..."
"Xiaojie, I told you, I can't blame you."
As evening approached, Ouyang Chisun sent his men to convey a message to Bai Fei. The man said that the murderer of the old man had been found. No one thought that he was the scribe who bid with Bai Fei. However, they found him. When they arrived, they found that he was also dead. The mid-grade crystal stone was found on his body, which seemed to rule out the possibility of murder for money.
Bai Fei asked about the location of the accident and immediately rushed to the scene. The body of the scribe had been moved away. He searched around carefully and finally found a conditioning pill. He was very excited. He knew that this was a clue left by Yun Ling. It seemed that her disappearance was inseparable from the scribe, but he had already Death, it is impossible to investigate with this clue alone.
After returning to the inn, Yao Jie told him that Ouyang Chisun had sent someone again. It seemed that he had something important to tell him. He immediately ran towards the place where the man left.
Ouyang Chisun told him that at that time someone saw the scribe holding a young girl hostage, who must be Bai Fei's friend. However, that person also saw a masked man when the scribe wanted to bully Yun Ling. He rescued her and killed the scribe.
Back at the inn, Bai Fei recalled the matter in detail. He knew that the scribe was only at the early stage of the ninth rank. No wonder he did not dare to touch Yao Jie and hijacked Yun Ling, but he wondered why he did this. If it was just because It is simply impossible for his bidding to lead to such a result.
That bonsai! Bai Fei was shocked. Could it be that that strange plant was really something extraordinary?
It seems that only this explanation is feasible. Thinking of Yun Ling being rescued by someone, since that person saved her from the tiger's mouth and vented his anger on the spot, it seems that there is no malicious intention. Thinking of this, Bai Fei's heart relaxed a little.
In the evening, Yao Jie approached Bai Fei and asked him for his opinion, asking him whether to return to Baihua Hall or go to the auction.
Yun Ling's disappearance has come to a general conclusion. It is useless for Bai Fei to worry about it. Seeing Yao Jie's faint excitement, he did not have the heart to refuse and promised her to attend the auction. After that, he set off overnight. He really He didn't want to stay in this place any longer and wanted to leave as soon as possible. After finishing the affairs at Baihua Hall, he would look around for Yun Ling while there was still some time before the conference. Although he also knew that Yun Ling was rescued by an expert, it meant a lot to her. Maybe it was a chance, but the matter was uncertain, and I felt uncomfortable after all.
