Yanhu Purple Sword Sect and Yin Yang Sect are two top sects that dominate Jiaxing. The latter may be limited to the cultivation world, but the former’s network of relationships has penetrated into every area of the city, so Shi Chishang is just a phone call away In the meantime, through Chen Zuoheng, he obtained the right to review the surveillance of the streets near the crime scene.
However, Shi Chishang and Yu Lewei went to the nearby public security bureau and checked all the surveillance of the nearby streets the night before yesterday, but they could not find a single suspicious person.
Although he had expected it, after searching for several hours, he still found nothing. Shi Chishang still felt that his temples were swollen.
Seeing him frowning, Yu Lewei held his shoulders and said softly: "Don't worry."
"No, it's just a bit strange," Shi Chishang put his thumb on his temple and said in a deep voice, "Although this area is an old city, the density of surveillance is not low. Even you and me, unless we are flying, are It’s hard to escape surveillance.”
"Maybe it's flying!" Yu Lewei said.
Shaking his head, Shi Chishang calmed down the anxiety in his heart and said solemnly: "I have seen the dead man, and his power was only D level, but if you look at the traces at the scene, the murderer definitely did not kill with an overwhelming advantage. But it was after a fierce fight.”
Yu Lewei also reacted and frowned: "Yes! Otherwise, the murderer would not give up killing people in the same way that this person tortures and kills animals. It means that he can kill this person at his limit. In other words, his strength is not considered Very high."
Shi Chishang muttered: "The human world is overturned. Warriors can only fly after the Mahayana stage. If the murderer is a Mahayana warrior, how can he still fight fiercely for a long time against a D-level superpower, so he must be Escaped surveillance through other methods.”
The so-called heaven overturn refers to the repressive force formed by the influence of the movement of all realms on each other. It not only suppresses the power, speed and cultivation efficiency of all living beings, but also suppresses the flow of time in one realm.
Talents in the human world appeared during the Taizong period of the Tang Dynasty. Before that, warriors only needed to reach the level of heaven to fly in the sky, and their movements could shake the earth. Unlike now, all major systems are limited. It is difficult to show the majestic appearance of the prehistoric and ancient times.
Shi Chishang, who did not believe in evil, browsed the surveillance videos again, and in order to avoid making mistakes, he released four people including Ma Hanxue, plus Yu Lewei, a total of six people, and browsed the surveillance videos separately.
But until late in the evening, the six people's eyes were sore from watching, but they still couldn't find any suspects.
"Perhaps this person is good at hiding?" Zang Wuchang rubbed his eyes and said distressedly, "Brother Shi, I really can't find him!"
Although Emperor Zhanwu still had that cool expression, his eyes were a bit cloudy. It was obvious that staring at the screen for several hours in a row was a bit unbearable for this proud son of the zombie clan.
"Brother Shi," Ma Hanxue also imitated the name Zheng Wuchang and asked, "Are you sure you are a warrior who is good at the Eagle Claw Kung Fu?"
Shi Chishang hummed, Ma Hanxue lifted up a few strands of mane on his head with his hooves, and said hesitantly: "I just watched several other surveillance videos, and I really can't find anyone who matches them!"
As practitioners, especially warriors who specialize in physical training, their body shape and walking posture are very different from ordinary people. As Shi Chishang and others speculated, due to years of practicing claw skills, their fingers and arms will be more prominent than ordinary people. Slender.
They watched the surveillance video throughout the afternoon and evening, and indeed saw some similar people. However, after investigation by the Yanhu Purple Sword Sect's intelligence network, they found that these were just ordinary people and could not be the murderer at all.
Rubbing his nose, Shi Chishang tried to calm himself down and filtered the whole thing through his mind again. He happened to catch a glimpse of Ma Hanxue rubbing his nostrils with his hooves. Suddenly, an idea flashed in his mind, and he lost his voice and said: "It's not a human being." !”
"Gah?" Ma Hanxue saw him staring at him and said blankly, "I just rubbed my nose because it was itchy. Why isn't it... Oh, I'm not a human being. What are you doing?"
Seeing Ma Hanxue's unhappy face, Shi Chishang laughed, patted him on the shoulder, and said with a smile: "I'm not talking about you, but I figured it out. We have always fallen into a misunderstanding, thinking that the murderer is a substitute. A person who seeks revenge for an innocent animal that died in vain, but if you think about it carefully, is this kind of thing more likely for humans or for animals?"
"What are you talking about?" Niu Sanshan asked confused.
Emperor Zhanwu's eyes lit up and he said solemnly: "I understand, you are saying that the murderer is not a human, but a demon!"
"That's right!" Snapped his fingers, Shi Chishang sat up straight and said solemnly, "Looking back at the case, those claw marks are more like the claws of demons than warriors practicing claw skills!"
Yu Lewei recalled the marks on the wall and frowned: "Those marks were not caused by bird claws. There were too many dogs and cats. We are not experts in zoology and cannot analyze what animals they are."
Shaking his head, Shi Chishang turned to look at the screen and said with a smile: "No need, since we are sure it is not a bird, then this monster must not be able to fly, so we only need to find the stray animals that have appeared during this period."
As usual, starting last winter, urban areas began to strictly inspect stray animals and pets walking without leashes. However, this time it is stricter than before. It is already June and this regulation has not been cancelled. Therefore, most residents in the urban area walk their pets on leashes. The only ones who can commit crimes are stray animals.
Moreover, this murderer came all the way from the north, so it is impossible for him to be a pet with an owner.
After discovering new clues, the six people were all refreshed and gathered in front of the screen to browse the surveillance again. This time, they did not need to observe everyone's behavior. They only had to pay attention to whether there were stray animals, so the efficiency was much faster than before. However, In two hours, they had found all the stray animals that appeared near the crime scene last night.
There are a total of six stray animals, four dogs and two cats, of which three dogs belong to one group, two cats belong to one group, and only one black dog lives alone.
After writing down the places where these animals had appeared, Shi Chishang took Ma Hanxue and the others back to their souls, and set out to Jingshui Community to investigate the origins of these six stray animals. Yu Lewei stayed behind, waiting for news.
After arriving at the community, Shi Chishang visited the surrounding area and quickly found out that the two stray cats had been here for several years. They usually went to nearby restaurants to eat leftovers. The restaurant owners knew them. .
As for the three dogs, they were not stray dogs at all, but were raised by an old man in a nearby community. However, the older generation mostly kept dogs free-range. These dogs went to sleep in the garage at night and ran out for a walk during the day.
So in the end, the suspicion of the murderer fell on the lone black dog.
Shi Chishang asked the merchants on a street, but no one knew about this black dog, which explained the problem. Generally, stray dogs have a strong sense of territory and rarely go to strange places.
After receiving the news from Shi Chishang, Yu Lewei called up the surveillance camera to follow the traces of the black dog.
The surveillance showed that the black dog appeared near the community the afternoon before yesterday, wandered around for a while, and finally disappeared in the surveillance blind spot at the back door of the community. It did not appear until about four o'clock the next day, then headed west along the road, and finally disappeared. In an alley.
Knowing that the clue was broken, Shi Chishang frowned unconsciously. Although there are a lot of surveillance in urban areas now, there are also many blind spots. These blind spots are difficult for people to avoid, but for a dog, they are very easy to avoid. .
"What should I do?" Yu Lewei's voice was serious on the phone, "I looked at other surveillance videos near the place where it disappeared, but I couldn't find it."
Shi Chishang was silent for a long time, then suddenly laughed and said: "It seems that this dog demon is very smart! He knows how to avoid surveillance cameras. Senior sister, I remember that you have raised a dog. Can you tell its breed?"
"It should be Bian Mu's Chuan Chuan!" Yu Lewei was a little unsure. She had a dog at home when she was a child, but the dog died of old age before she went to junior high school. She didn't know much about dog breeds and could only give a rough idea. infer.
"Border Collie? I remember that Border Collie seems to have the highest IQ among dogs, right? No wonder, dogs become spirits!" Shi Chishang muttered.
"Why are you asking me this?" Yu Lewei asked puzzled.
"You have to know the level of your opponent!" Shi Chi smiled and explained, "I know how to hide from surveillance. I have been able to fake so many cases into ordinary people committing crimes. I remember that there didn't seem to be any evil spirit left at the scene, right? That's enough. Be cautious!"
Yu Lewei was speechless, shook her head and said, "You are really thoughtful."
Shi Chishang smiled and said thoughtfully: "To find it, we need to use a lot of manpower to check all the surveillance cameras in the entire city. Maybe we can find it, but this is too troublesome and can easily alert the dragon team."
"So?" Yu Lewei had already guessed what he wanted to do. Shi Chishang smiled and said, "Let's find someone to post a notice for missing dogs! Just say that the dog at home is lost. Find a black dog that is similar to it. Take the photo and mark it with a hefty reward.”
"Okay, I'll have someone print a dog-hunting notice," Yu Lewei nodded, "Let's print a thousand copies first, and then post them here in Nanhu District. For a reward, five thousand will be fine. It's too much and the noise is too much. Big, it would be bad if it provokes the news media.”
Shi Chishang hummed and explained a few more details about the dog search notice before hanging up the phone.
"A black dog?" In the soul palace, Ma Hanxue listened to the conversation between the two and muttered, "I have encountered several dog demons before, they are fierce thieves."
"I remember you were bitten by a dog demon, right?" Niu Sanshan sneered.
Ma Han's bloody face turned black. When he was still young, he encountered a dog demon raised by the Underworld. As a result, he was only born at that time and was chased all over the city by the dog demon.
For the levels above the palm sea level, the names of the Seven Realms and Liuhe are different, but they are collectively referred to as several levels, such as the ghost world and the underworld. Going up, they are Ming Shi, Ming Master, Pluto King, Pluto Lord, Pluto Emperor, Pluto King, and Pluto King. Zun, Ming Emperor, and several current ghost emperors in the ghost world are all at the Ming Emperor level.
There are not many Hades Emperors in the ghost world, so a Hades Lord is considered to be the top combat power in the ghost world. Even if the dog demon he raised almost bit the horse and sweated blood, in the end this matter was nothing. .
Just because of this incident, Ma Hanxue has been extremely hostile to the dog demon since he was a child.
