Lin Ji subconsciously covered his mouth and nose and observed the corpse for a moment.
"The degree of decomposition of this corpse is that it must have been dead for seven or eight days at least."
"The county's head catcher is at least one of the best in the third realm. He died here, but there were no signs of a fight around him."
"If you can't do it in the Tonghui realm, let's just say it's a night trip."
"Even higher."
"It's all rotten like this, but I can't smell any stench. How did it happen..."
Lin Ji felt a little bit in trouble. The arresters who reported the news were all dead. He was really clueless when he came by air.
This case is troublesome. .
After two seconds of silence for the catcher, Lin Ji continued to walk inside.
After taking two steps, he suddenly stopped and his pupils shrank.
"wrong!"
Lin Ji suddenly remembered that when he came to Pingchuan County, the Pingchuan County police chief summoned him in the morning, saying that he was seriously injured and six brothers died.
But if the corpse in the flower bed at this time is the arrester of Pingchuan County, then who is being summoned? !
Lin Ji suddenly turned around and looked at the decaying corpse.
The more he looked, the more frightened he felt.
"It seems that everyone in the county government has died."
"Not only that, when such a big thing happened, the people outside didn't react at all."
With some caution and doubt, Lin Ji continued to go deep into the county government office.
When we arrived at the lobby of the county government office, there was no one there.
After searching with his spiritual sense for a long time, he still had no clue.
Continuing to walk inside, finally, after passing through the corridor and arriving at the inner hall, blood stains appeared on the ground.
The blood stain may not be appropriate. It should be said that the blue brick floor has been stained dark brown by the dried blood.
Lin Ji's feet would feel a little sticky whenever he stepped on the ground.
"It's not a simple murder, it's more like torture and revenge."
"Did the county government of Pingchuan County offend someone?"
"No clue."
While thinking, he stepped on the bloody ground and continued walking inside.
Until the moment he walked into the inner hall room and opened the door, Lin Ji couldn't help but step back as soon as his feet crossed the threshold.
"I'm stupid."
The sight before him made him unable to help but curse.
The place where he was about to settle just now was a broken arm, which was also corrupted.
Look inside again.
There were seven or eight corpses dressed in the official uniforms of demon hunters, as well as those of ordinary detectives, government servants, masters, and county magistrates.
Okay, all the people from the Pingchuan County government are here.
Lin Ji walked into the room cautiously and searched around for a long time, but couldn't find even the slightest clue.
When he was at a loss what to do, footsteps suddenly sounded outside.
Lin Ji turned around and saw an old man leading a young man and woman to the door of the room.
"Who are you?!" the girl asked first.
Lin Ji was too lazy to pay attention to her, but focused on the old man.
The old man's eyes were half-open, but there were only whites inside. He looked blind.
But even though he was blind, his actions were not affected at all when he first came. After Lin Ji's spiritual exploration, he found that the old man's cultivation was at the late night wandering stage.
At the same time, the old man also raised his head, opened his blind eyes, and symbolically looked in the direction of Lin Ji.
"Who is your Excellency? Why are you here?"
"I should ask you this." Lin Ji said coldly, "Lin is from the Supervisory Office and is here to investigate the case."
"It turns out he's a friend of Jian Tiansi." The old man bowed slightly.
On the other hand, the young man and woman behind him had a bit of disgust on their faces.
"It turns out he is a lackey of the imperial court." The woman sneered.
"Oh, the day lilies were cold before anyone came. It's really the style of Jian Tiansi." The man was also weird.
But the moment he heard this, Lin Ji suddenly looked at the young man.
With a gentle step, in just a blink of an eye, he was in front of the young man, grabbed the other man's collar, and lifted him up with one hand.
Seeing this scene, the girl's expression suddenly changed and she wanted to take action, but the old blind man was one step faster.
He raised his hand, but the crutch in his hand had already fallen in front of Lin Ji.
Lin Ji didn't panic. He grabbed hold of the powerful and heavy crutch with his left hand.
"You old guy, your eyes are blind and your heart is blind."
After the words fell, Lin Ji snorted softly, and a wave of air shook the surroundings.
The old blind man couldn't stand firmly and had to let go of the crutch in his hand and take two steps back. The young girl even sat down on the ground, her face turned pale.
The girl is not a night traveler, so she cannot see the depth of Lin Ji.
But the old blind man's expression suddenly changed.
"The soul is like fire, are you a monk in the Sun Travel Realm?!"
"He is a day traveler, how is that possible?" the girl exclaimed.
The man in front of her looked like he was only in his early twenties, a few years older than her. How could he be a monk in the sixth realm?
"Mr. Lin, we are not bad people." The old blind man changed his attitude of getting into a fight over a disagreement. He did not dare to ask for his crutches back, and instead said in a low voice.
"Whether he is a bad person or not is up to you."
Lin Ji looked at the man who was struggling in his hands.
"You just said that the day lilies are cold. What do you mean?"
"me..."
The old blind man sighed softly and said, "Mr. Lin, please put my disciple down. I have some clues about this matter."
Hearing this, Lin Ji let go of his hand, ignored the angry glares of the young man and woman, looked at the old blind man, and threw the crutch back.
"Say it."
"This... is actually not the first place where something like this has happened."
"Where else?!" Lin Ji's voice suddenly rose.
If this kind of tragedy was not the first, how could there be no news from Supervisor Tiansi?
As long as Supervisor Tiansi knew even a little bit, his arrival would never be concealed.
"Yes, the master and the disciples and I came from Yunzhou and went all the way south. And there have been three tragedies like this in Pingchuan County that I have seen."
"As for whether there are more..." The old blind man paused and did not continue.
But Lin Ji already understood.
There are definitely more.
"Other than that? Who did it? Is it a human or a demon?"
"I don't know." The old blind man shook his head.
But just when Lin Ji was about to change his face, the old blind man clearly couldn't see anything, but he quickly added: "But we suspect that it was the Holy Fire Cult."
"Holy Fire Cult? When did this appear? What is its origin?"
"In the barbaric area north of Yunzhou, the god worshiped by the barbarians there is called the God of Fire." The old blind man explained, "The Holy Fire Cult is the holy religion of the barbarians."
This was the first time Lin Ji had heard of the Holy Fire Cult, but he knew about the barbarians in the north.
The imperial court stationed troops in Yunzhou just to guard against those barbarians.
"But how could the Holy Fire Sect in the far north come to Jingzhou?"
Obviously, the old blind man has no answer to this question.
