As soon as Qi Luo walked into the morgue, he felt something was wrong with the surrounding environment and atmosphere.

Although the hot wind was blowing in the courtyard of the morgue, it made people feel a bit cold and shuddering.

"Why did Lulu come to the morgue in the middle of the night? The environment here doesn't look like there are people." Qi Luoxin said, already feeling a little wary.

Qi Luo opened the door of the morgue calmly and found that it was pitch dark inside, so he lit up the firebrand and looked around and found that there was nothing in the morgue.

Two bodies were missing.

Qi Luo hurriedly started searching again, but there was still nothing in the room. Finally, he saw a group of disciples who had fainted on the ground in the backyard of the morgue.

There is a strange smell in the backyard.

Qi Luo covered his mouth and nose, and hurriedly walked over to check everyone's breathing, and found that there was still breath, and these people had just fainted.

At this time, Qi Luo smelled a different smell wafting in the air, and hurriedly covered his mouth and nose again, muttering to himself: "This is... Mi Xiang..."

Qi Luo was unwilling to give in and called out of thin air: "Lulu, are you in the morgue?"

The night sky was silent and no one responded.

Seeing that everyone was okay, Qi Luo woke them up. Then he suddenly thought of something and hurried to the door, only to find that the two disciples on duty at the door had also fallen to the ground.

"It seems that the two disciples of the Fire Control Hall were also confused by the same spell." He murmured to himself.

The sword was sheathed and Qi Luo strode out of the morgue.

【Orientalism·Conference Hall】

Several masters did not delay the time because of the late night. After being informed by various disciples, they still gathered in the meeting hall. The meeting hall that should have been dark and silent was now brightly lit and looked solemn and quiet.

Qi Luo, who came in a hurry, saluted several masters and began to report the situation: "The disciple just came back from the morgue and already found that the body was missing."

"Who sent you to the morgue?" Duan Jie looked a little unhappy, because it was his disciples who discovered that the body was missing, and it was his most favored eldest disciple who was missing. This undoubtedly added some suspicion to him.

Qi Luo replied calmly: "Master, I'm going there myself. I went to the Fire Control Hall first, hoping to find Junior Sister Zheng Lulu and ask about some findings about today's investigation. Little did I know that the murderer started so quickly. , when I arrived, two bodies had been stolen."

Zheng Lulu, who was standing behind Mo Xiao, came over and said, "I've been to the morgue a long time ago. Why did Senior Brother go there to find me? Why did you say that?"

Qi Luo replied: "Junior Sister Lulu, it seems that the disciple on duty tonight of your Fire Control Hall lied."

Upon hearing what Qi Luo said, Mo Xiao immediately called someone, asked about the disciples on duty in front of the Fire Control Hall tonight, and called them.

Qi Luo looked at the disciples who walked in and said, "Did you just tell me that Senior Sister Zheng Lulu was in the morgue?"

"Senior Brother, you haven't been to the Fire Control Hall tonight, how did we see you?" The two disciples looked at Qi Luo seriously and replied.

As soon as these words came out, Qi Luo's expression changed several times.

Everyone was silent.

In the end, Qi Luo spoke first: "Master, and fellow masters, as a great disciple of the Eastern Sect, Qi Luo must not dare to lie. Just three-quarters of an hour ago, I went to the Fire Control Hall, and at the gate When I met these two junior brothers, I asked them about the whereabouts of junior sister Zheng Lulu, and they told me that it was in the morgue."

"So you went to the morgue?" Duan Jue stepped forward, ready to answer the conversation and help Qi Luoyuan go down.

"Yes, I went to the morgue and someone was on duty. They told me that Junior Sister Zheng Lulu was inside. Then when I went in, I found that the body had disappeared long ago. There were also a group of disciples who were poisoned by the incense and fell down. In the backyard." Qi Luo briefly explained the process.

"Elder brother, why don't they know about this?" Yunzhi asked.

Qi Luo paused and guessed: "I'm afraid he was caught in some confusing spell."

At this time, Lian Bo said: "Qi Luo, besides you, who else can prove what happened?"

"There is no one else." Qi Luo thought for a while and said helplessly.

Feng Sanyi said aloud: "In this case, Qi Luo's suspicion cannot be ruled out. After all, even the eldest disciples have the possibility of guarding and stealing. There is also a precedent before. This is how Qianqiu and the others are treated, and those who are suspected are treated like this. Disciples must also treat everyone equally."

Feng Sanyi always speaks directly without regard to other people's opinions and opinions.

As soon as Feng Sanyi finished speaking, Duan Jue glared at him.

Duan Jue said coldly: "Qi Luogui is the senior brother with the highest level of cultivation among my Eastern Sect disciples. How could he do such a thing?"

"Whether it can be done is one thing, and whether you should doubt it is another matter. Senior Brother Duan, I just think that since you have doubts, you should treat them equally." Feng Sanyi said with a smile, "And now should Qianqiu wash his hands?" Some suspicions have been cleared, and he is now in prison, but there are still people going to the morgue to steal the body, which clearly shows that there are at least two murderers."

"Even if some suspicions are cleared, we can't let him go. The footprints are evidence. Since he has an accomplice, we should interrogate him. Who is the accomplice?" Duan Jue waved his sleeves, obviously dissatisfied with Feng Sanyi's exoneration of Qianqiu. what was said.

"Okay, what are you arguing about? How do you behave as a master?" Lian Bo said immediately when he saw Feng Sanyi and Duan Jue arguing.

"According to my order, Qi Luo will also be temporarily admitted to the Repentance Hall, and Qianqiu will not be released. As for other suspected disciples, they should continue to be detained. Each Five Elements Hall should seize the time to investigate who stole the body. It is really unreasonable. Our century-old Oriental sect allows people to come and go freely in the sect to commit murders and steal corpses. If the leader comes back and we still can't solve it, how should we explain this?"

"You two have your own instructions. This matter must not be leaked. Please refuse to visit us for the next month." Lian Bo said.

"Yes." Everyone present agreed.

Afterwards, several people walked in outside the meeting hall and said to Qi Luo: "Elder brother, I'm sorry, then please come."

Qi Luo didn't hesitate at all. He had his hands tied and walked out of the meeting hall calmly.

After Qi Luo left, Duan Jue found a place to sit down, his face was ashen, and he felt naturally very uncomfortable.

Yun Qixi coughed softly.

Yun Zhi hurriedly handed Yun Qixi a glass of water.

"Junior sister Yun, please go back and rest first. We are here, so you don't have to work so hard." Lian Bo said when he saw Yun Qixi's appearance.

"Qixi, you should go back first." Feng Sanyi also said.

Yun Qixi looked at everyone and felt that he was indeed feeling unwell, so he stood up and apologized before leaving the meeting hall.

"At this critical moment, there is actually a master whose strength has been greatly reduced. This is because this year is the year when our Eastern sect is rising, and now it seems that it is best not to cause a big mess." Mo Xiao watched Yun Qixi walk away. sighed.

Lian Bo added: "With the leader away, we can only rely on ourselves."

Feng Sanyi said: "Speaking of which, this murderer is too rampant. He has committed crimes in our Oriental sect one after another. Could it be that he is really deceiving no one in our Oriental sect?"

"The thief who stole the body may also be someone from my sect." Zheng Lulu, who had been silent for a long time, suddenly said.

"Lulu is right. The person who can bewitch the disciples and steal the two corpses under our eyes cannot be an outsider. If there is such an expert, he will not lower his status to embarrass us, so it is probably our sect. There is a traitor inside." Feng Sanyi said.

"Check, check for me, we must get to the bottom of it!" Lian Bo slapped the table and said angrily.

[Oriental School·Repentance Hall]

Sitting in the cell, the bored Qianqiu was squinting his eyes to sleep when he suddenly heard the door of the penitence hall creak open.

"What's your name?" It was still the voice of the old guarding woman.

"Senior, I am Qi Luo from the Alchemy Hall."

When Qianqiu heard this, he hurriedly sat up and thought to himself: "Elder brother was also arrested?"

After a while, Qianqiu saw the truth: Qi Luo walked into the cell next to him expressionlessly.

"No way? Senior brother, did you kill those two sisters?" Qianqiu hurriedly lay down next to the prison and asked.

Qi Luo ignored Qianqiu and just meditated by himself.

Qianqiu bit a straw and saw that his senior brother Qi Luo was unwilling to pay attention to him, so he sat down and started practicing.

In the cell, he naturally did not dare to use the Heart Demon Pearl to enhance his cultivation speed.

Qianqiu picked some basic cultivation techniques and ran them over and over again in order to become more familiar with them.

After an hour, Qianqiu, who was sweating profusely, heard something in his ears.

"Since you have entered the level of magician, why are you still practicing basic magician skills?"

Qianqiu opened his eyes and saw that it was his senior brother who was looking at him and talking.

He stood up, looked at Qi Luo, gave a salute, and said: "Senior Brother, my foundation is not strong enough, so I will just practice it here. To tell you the truth, I am a master of the most basic meditation method. They have not been completed yet.”

Qi Luo looked at it and couldn't help but laugh: "The meditation method is the most basic. You haven't even finished practicing this... Are you Qianqiu?"

"I am the one who has long admired the name of Senior Brother Qiluo." Qianqiu said with an embarrassed smile.

"I don't dare to take it seriously. I heard that you have a body of five elements. Why can you reach the rank of junior magician at such a young age?" Qi Luo directly asked the matter that concerned him the most.

Qianqiu's mind turned around and he replied: "It's also luck, relying on the advice of the master and masters. Senior brother, why are you in jail late at night?"

He cleverly changed the subject and dropped the words.

Upon hearing this, Qi Luo let out a breath and said in his heart: "Since there is nothing to do here, you might as well talk to this boy about the whole story."

After listening to Qi Luo's words, Qianqiu nodded.

Qi Luo looked at Qianqiu's calm expression and asked curiously: "Aren't you worried that if you can't get out of here, you won't find the murderer and will be used as a scapegoat?"
