Xin Daofu disappeared more than 200 years ago and has never returned. It is very likely that he was dead by then.
So it's not surprising that he has wounds on his body.
It's just that the location of the wound... now seems a bit subtle.
It's actually near the back of the heart.
After all, Xin Daofu is also a third-level supervisor. He deals with strange things all the year round and goes out to handle cases, so he must have basic vigilance.
The probability of being stabbed in the back should be very small.
Of course, another possibility is that he has lost his ability to move.
But if that was the case, the murderer didn't have to kill him from behind. He could just chop off his head or insert a knife into his chest.
Wounds on the back of the heart are usually caused by sneak attacks from behind.
Lu Jing's heart moved when he thought of this.
Then he took out the dagger he had picked up first.
Because it is an artifact that is more than two hundred years old and has not been well preserved, the dagger now looks rusty.
After Lu Jing was sure it was not a magic weapon, he didn't take a closer look at it.
Now he held it up to his eyes and looked at it carefully again, but he saw a small gap on the blade.
Although it could not be confirmed that the gap was caused by piercing Xin Daofu's back and slashing his ribs, the dagger did become suspicious in Lu Jing's eyes.
It's a pity that he couldn't find anything else in the dry well that could further confirm or overturn his speculation.
Moreover, Xin Daofu was killed by his own dagger, which seems hard to explain.
In the end, Lu Jing stopped making wild guesses. After all, this happened two hundred years ago, and the murderer must have died like Xin Daofu.
It doesn't matter who it is anymore.
…………
Lu Jing packed the bones and took Amu back to the academy.
Then I found Uncle Chen and asked him to find a place under the big banyan tree, bury the package of bones, and then add a memorial tablet to Xin Daofu in the hall behind the banyan tree.
Lu Jing also burned two sticks of incense for Xin Daofu to thank him for his legacy.
As a result, before I even went out, I heard a bell ringing in the distance.
This is someone calling together all the teachers and students of the academy.
Lu Jing did not hesitate. After inserting the incense in his hand into the incense burner, he walked out of the main hall shop and came to the school building where he usually listened.
And there are already many academy disciples gathered here.
There were both excitement and apprehension on their faces. Many of them kept clenching their fists nervously, and even their knuckles were turned white from the pinching.
Lu Jing saw Yan Yun in the crowd and took the initiative to say hello to the girl.
And Yan Yun didn't avoid him, and nodded generously to him as a return gift.
Lu Jing ignored the strange looks from around him, moved closer to Yan Yun, and asked, "What happened?"
Yan Yun raised his eyebrows, "You don't know?"
"what do you know?"
"Today is the first time that everyone goes out to investigate a case. Of course, it is not the first time for you, Master Lu." Yan Yun said calmly.
As soon as Lu Jing patted his head, he really forgot about it.
Recently, he has been busy with too many things, and he is still immersed in the joy of owning the fourth flying sword. Seeing that the one-month period mentioned by Professor Xu has arrived, Lu Jing has already He forgot about going out to investigate the case.
Only then did he realize that he seemed not to be ready yet.
Well, he doesn't need to prepare much, because he has already handled enough cases.
But for other academy disciples, this is the first time in their lives that they have officially participated in a strange object case.
Before this, they had only seen those weird and bizarre cases in lecture halls and files. It would be a lie to say they were not nervous.
Not to mention that this was something they should have faced only in their third year of training in the academy.
But now, the first year of training has not yet ended, and Si Tianjian has to recruit them in advance due to lack of manpower.
Coupled with the unprecedented decline of secret power in ten thousand years, even the concentration of secret power in the academy has dropped a lot, and a group of academy disciples also feel that a storm is coming.
However, even so, no one chose to back down.
When Su Tixue and Huang Supervisor came outside the academy, they saw that one hundred and twenty-three academy disciples had arrived, and their originally frowning brows relaxed a lot.
But after a pause, Huang Supervisor still spoke, pouring cold water on everyone first, "The job of supervisor is not that easy to do."
After speaking, his eyes swept across everyone present, lingering for a moment on Yan Yun and Lu Jing, and then continued, "To tell you the truth, just in the past month, Si Tianjian lost seven more people. Supervisors, and there is also a fourth-level supervisor among them.”
His words also made all the academy disciples in front of the academy take a breath of cold air.
Seven supervisors died in one month. Putting aside the initial turbulent years, this would probably rank high in the history of Si Tianjian.
It can be seen that Si Tianjian's load has indeed reached its limit during this recent period.
Everyone has heard rumors more or less that strange things are emerging in various places, and one inspector often has to handle several cases at the same time, which further increases the dangers they face.
Even a fourth-level supervisor could die because of a mistake, let alone newcomers like them who were still studying in the academy.
But on the other hand, everyone knows that they have no way out of this situation.
If the monster really gets out of control, it will be useless to hide anywhere.
So after Huang Jianyuan finished speaking, no one had any intention of quitting.
Everyone was just waiting quietly for the next step from the Huang Prison.
This time, Huang Supervisor did not say any more nonsense and said directly, "Okay, since no one has quit, let's wait for the messenger to pick someone. I have reported the specialties and brief introduction of each of you to Si Tianjian, supervisors The adults will select people based on their own needs, and when they have made the selection, they will naturally contact you.
"You can go meet your partners on your own then."
While Huang Supervisor was talking, Yan Yun also said to Lu Jing, "You are just standing next to me, aren't you worried?"
"You're not afraid of those rumors, so what do I have to be afraid of?" Lu Jing said.
"I'm not talking about rumors," Yan Yun shook his head, "Didn't you tell me that night that you wanted them all? But if this continues, you may lose that girl Xia."
Lu Jing was speechless.
Indeed, since the news of that night spread, the person he was most afraid of facing was no longer Yan Yun, but Xia Huai.
Lu Jing couldn't even imagine how sad the girl would be after hearing the rumors about him, Yan Yun and Wen Xiaochuan, so he planned to find a time to talk to Xia Huai about his future plans.
I just couldn't find the right time.
