"Senior Brother Zhai does have a wife and daughter, and they all live in Jingcheng."
When Shu Guan found the second senior brother Mu Yao with the notebook, the longevity lock and the jade pendant, Mu Yao was also quite surprised.
At first, out of respect for Senior Brother Zhai, he did not move anything in half of the building, so he did not find the hidden cabinet.
"Over the years, I have visited Senior Brother Zhai's wife and daughter every once in a while, and sometimes the master will also go. As for the lives of Senior Brother Zhai's wife and daughter, they have always been secretly taken care of by Taiyi Temple Taoist Chen, so there will not be any question."
"So, Second Senior Brother, these two things..."
Shu Guan handed over the longevity lock and jade pendant.
Mu Yao smiled and shook his head and said:
"Junior Brother Shu, since you found these things, and you chose Brother Zhai's half of the building at a glance, and you and Brother Zhai are destined to be together, you should send these things over! Also stop by. Meet Senior Brother Zhai’s family.”
Naturally, Shu Guan would not refuse and nodded in agreement.
Then Mu Yao told him where Senior Brother Zhai's wife lived now, and Shu Guan was planning to go directly there later.
Then at this moment, Li Zhixia strode down from the top of the cliff, holding a newspaper in his hand, his face was very serious.
"A big event happened in Jingcheng last night."
"The mayor of Jingcheng City, Tan Yankai, was killed by that 'swallow'!"
Li Zhixia said something to the two disciples.
"What!"
"What!"
Mu Yao and Shu Guan both exclaimed.
Li Zhixia handed over the newspaper in her hand.
Mu Yao took it and opened it, while Shu Guan hurriedly put his head over it.
This newspaper is naturally still the "Begonia Newspaper", and today's "Begonia Newspaper" headlines on the front page are a line of blood-red characters:
A generation of heroes died suddenly in the study! Why did the hero 'Swallow' take action?
Below is a picture of a middle-aged man lying on his back on a desk with a blood-stained paper bird on his face.
Mu Yao raised his head and was about to say something, but Li Zhixia waved her hand.
"You two, come with me and have a look."
"We'll talk about the rest first."
…
Dozens of minutes later, Li Zhixia, Mu Yao, and Shu Guan appeared at the residence of Jingcheng Mayor Tan Yankai.
Tan Yankai's mansion is located on Zhonglou Street in Yingcheng District, a few kilometers away from the Jingcheng City Government. It is a small villa with a small garden lawn and a four-story mansion. building.
With the Tan family's heritage, they can naturally own a more luxurious and spacious mansion. In fact, the Tan family does own several manors and mansions in many places in Jingcheng. For example, Tan Yankai's son, Tan Mingcheng, basically lives in Among those manor houses, he would never come to live in this small villa. Of course, it was also because he did not want to be restrained by his father Tan Yankai and he lived in debauchery.
Tan Yankai purchased this small villa on Bell Tower Street mainly for the convenience of working.
When Li Zhixia, master and apprentice, arrived at Tan Yankai's mansion, the street outside the mansion was already filled with vehicles of all kinds, and a group of soldiers with live ammunition were guarding the outside. There were faint sounds of crying from many people inside.
The three masters and disciples each took a picture of the invisibility charm and then walked directly in.
The villa was overcrowded at this time. If someone like Tan Yankai died, there would be no shortage of people who came immediately after hearing the news.
Of course, the purpose is different.
Just like there were many people crying loudly in the villa at this time, but it was hard to say how many of them were truly grieving.
In the lobby on the first floor of the villa-style building, there was a red sandalwood coffin.
The incident happened suddenly, and naturally the place where Tan Yankai's body was kept could not be found so quickly. It was quite good to be able to find such a coffin temporarily.
At the side of the coffin, there were many people gathered around. They saw Young Master Tan, whom they had not seen for a long time. Young Master Tan knelt down in front of the coffin, put his hands on the coffin, and cried so loudly that tears flowed down his face.
But Shu Guan could tell that Young Master Tan was really crying and feeling really sad.
It's hard to imagine that this young man who seemed so arrogant and domineering every time he saw him would one day cry so pitifully.
And from now on, the life of this playboy who lives a relaxed and comfortable life relying on his father's protection may completely change his life.
Shu Guan thought with some emotion, followed Li Zhixia, passed through the crowd, and walked up the stairs beside the hall.
They soon found the study room where the incident occurred on the third floor of the villa.
There was no one in the study at the moment, except for two guards guarding the door.
The three masters and apprentices directly used the wall penetration technique to pass through the wall between the two guards.
Then Mu Yao waved his hand, and a green leaf appeared in his hand. The green leaf flew into the air and instantly became extremely large, covering the entire space in the study. Then, with a flash of green light, the entire leaf disappeared into the surrounding walls. Disappear.
"Okay, now if we make any noise inside, no one outside can hear it."
Mu Yao smiled and said something to Li Zhixia and Shu Guan.
Shu glanced at Mu Yao, his senior brother's words were very thought-provoking.
And Li Zhixia had already walked to the desk. According to the photo published in "Qiu Haitang Newspaper", Tan Yankai died on this desk.
There was still a lot of blood stains on the desk. Before I could clean it up, there was also a pool of dried blood on the ground.
Li Zhixia's eyes swept over the bloodstains, frowning and saying nothing.
Mu Yao and Shu Guan had quickly searched the entire study.
"Master, it seems there are no useful clues."
Mu Yao came to Li Zhixia and said.
Before he finished speaking, Mu Yao's expression moved slightly, and Li Zhixia had already raised her eyes towards the door.
The leaf that Mu Yao had just thrown appeared again around the study. The green leaf rippled slightly, and then two figures walked out of the leaf.
Walking in front was a dark, thin, plain-looking monk, but he was none other than Master Miki of Guiyuan Temple.
Behind him was a young monk with sallow complexion, a wide mouth and a lion's nose, and a pair of eyebrows. He was naturally Nagarjuna.
"I have met Zhixia Zhenren."
"I've met Master Miki."
Li Zhixia and Master Sanmu saluted each other, while Shu Guan smiled and nodded towards the young monk Nagarjuna behind Master Sanmu.
】
I haven't seen this little monk for a long time. I wonder how his little Vajra Body is doing.
Nagarjuna also smiled at Shuguan.
"Master Miki, do you have any clues about this matter?"
Master Miki's sudden arrival made Li Zhixia a little surprised.
Because Shan Ji Guan had negotiated with Guiyuan Temple and Yuelan Academy at the beginning, Gui Shan Ji Guan was responsible for the "Swallow" matter, so Li Zhixia asked this question at this time.
"Master Zhixia, please wait a moment and we will talk together when Chief Su Shan arrives."
"Chief Su Shan is coming too?"
Li Zhixia raised her thick eyebrows.
At this moment, the huge green leaf in the room lit up again, and then Su Jie's voice sounded.
"Such a big thing happened in Jingcheng, how could I not come?"
Su Jie, the headmaster of Yuelan Academy, slowly walked out of the green leaves, and behind him was Yang Jianqing.
Su Jie was right. Although Tan Yankai was just an ordinary person, his identity was too extraordinary, and he died at the hands of a practitioner, so this was also a big event for the Seven Immortals Alliance.
Su Jie came to Li Zhixia and Master Sanmu with a serious expression.
"This time, we must find this 'Swallow'. This person has interfered too much in worldly affairs. I don't know who he will attack next time."
Su Jie said solemnly to the other two people.
Li Zhixia smiled slightly and said:
"What Chief Su Shan said is certainly correct. It's just that we have been looking for that person for half a year, but we still don't have any clues about that person's identity."
Su Jie's eyes swept across the study room. He also looked at the blood stains on the desk and on the carpet, without stopping at all.
Then Su Jie turned his attention back to the desk. He first glanced at the Boloni pistol on the table, then walked over and picked up the pistol. He unloaded the magazine very skillfully and looked down.
"This gun was never fired."
Su Jie said this.
"Just now, I have asked someone to inquire. It is said that after Tan Yankai entered the study last night, the servants and guards in the house did not hear any unusual sounds in the study. Until this morning, Tan Yankai's wife saw Tan Yankai coming out. It's usually a little late, so when I went into the study to check, I discovered that Tan Yankai was dead."
Mu Yao introduced the situation to several division commanders on the side.
None of the people in the study were surprised by what he found out.
It is very simple for a practitioner to kill an ordinary person silently. Just like there are so many of them in this study at this time, but the people outside the door are not aware at all.
At this time, Su Jie had already put the pistol back on the desk, looking carefully at the paper, pens and other items on the desk, and then his eyes swept over the desk calendar.
At first, Su Jie's gaze did not stop, but then he immediately turned back, his expression seemed to become a little strange.
He reached out and picked up the desk calendar, looked at the date on the desk calendar, his eyes flashed, as if he remembered something.
At this time, Yang Jianqing said something.
"Why did that 'Swallow' want to kill Tan Yankai?"
Yang Jianqing said with some confusion:
"That 'Swallow' took action twice before, once to kill Jorge and once to kill Zhou Bancheng. Both were people whose flesh the people of Jingcheng could not wait to eat alive."
"But this Tan Yankai has always had a clear official reputation and is a prominent family member in Jingcheng. He has served as the mayor of Jingcheng for many years. I have never heard of him doing anything harmful to nature. Why did the 'Swallow' want to kill him this time?"
What Yang Jianqing didn't expect was that his words would cause his master Su Jie, Li Zhixia, and Master Sanmu to have extremely weird expressions on their faces.
Then Su Jie turned his head and said seriously to his disciple.
"No, this man really deserves to be killed."
"Good kill."
Li Zhixia also said the same thing.
Even Master Miki nodded and said:
"A worthy death."
At this time, not only Yang Jianqing, but also Shu Guan and Long Shu looked at their masters in great surprise.
What kind of heinous things did Tan Yankai do that made the three teachers feel vaguely happy about his death?
Only Mu Yao seemed to know something, so there was nothing unusual about the reactions of the three division commanders at this time, and he also had a look of approval on his face.
Su Jie held up the desk calendar, pointed to the date on it, and said to Li Zhixia and Master Sanmu:
"Do you still remember this day?"
Li Zhixia and Master Miki looked at each other, then nodded, their expressions extremely solemn.
"Do you think Yanzi killed Tan Yankai because of the incident back then? Otherwise, it would be too coincidental for him to choose yesterday to do it."
Then Su Jie continued to ask.
"If it's for that matter, then is it possible that this 'Swallow' was already in Jingcheng sixteen years ago, and has a deep relationship with that matter that year? But after thinking about it, I really can't think of it. There is such a person in our Jingcheng."
Li Zhixia frowned and said.
"Yes, I can't think of it. It's really unreasonable to say that such a strong man has been hiding in Jingcheng and has never shown his whereabouts before, but now he takes action continuously."
Su Jie also nodded.
At this moment, Master Sanmu, who had been silent until now, suddenly announced the Buddha's name, and then said to Li Zhixia and Su Jie:
"You two, I actually have something to discuss with you today, and it's about how to find this 'Swallow'."
Li Zhixia and Su Jie both looked at Master Miki with a look of surprise.
They were already at a loss for this matter, but Master Miki seemed to have found a way.
Master Sanmu looked at Li Zhixia at this time, pondered for a moment and said:
"Master Zhixia, do you still remember what happened to Master Qixia when you visited him five hundred years ago?"
A strange look flashed across Li Zhixia's face, and then she nodded.
"Back then, Master Qixia in Guiguan went crazy, but no one noticed it for a long time. As for the reason why he was discovered later, do you still remember Master Zhixia?"
Master Miki looked at Li Zhixia and continued.
Li Zhixia was silent for a moment and nodded again.
"I remember."
"It was because a master from your temple used the spirit summoning technique to summon Shi Zibin's soul at the spirit-transferring ceremony held by Shi Zibin, the painter who was controlled by Qixia Master's uncle, and only then did he realize the true identity of Qixia Master's uncle."
Master Miki still looked deeply at Li Zhixia and said slowly:
"The method of summoning souls is a magical power that is extremely difficult to cultivate. There are many conditions and requirements for those who practice this magical power. It is impossible for someone like me to master the skill of summoning souls."
"In fact, in the five hundred years of our Guiyuan Temple, only Master Kongchen has mastered the art of summoning souls."
"And the Patriarch Kongchen is actually still good in the world. I specially invited him here this time!"
Finally, Master Miki said this.
