In the early morning, the sun rises.
After resting all night, Chen Yutian opened his eyes and got up to wash up.
The sun was shining brightly outside the window, and wisps of warmth poured into the room through the gaps in the window.
Ever since he learned from the head escort Li Xiuniang yesterday that the client's right wrist also had a scar similar to that on a headless corpse, Chen Yutian had an astonishing idea in his mind.
And this idea further confirmed Yue Lingxiao's identity as the murderer!
"Could it be that the murderer is really Yue Lingxiao?"
He stood in front of the window, looking at the beautiful scenery outside the window, murmuring to himself.
Although all the fingers were pointed at Wu Chengtian's old friend from the beginning, he was still not sure whether this person was the real murderer.
And the evidence discovered now further proves this!
"I hope that portrait can be of some help..."
He sighed slightly. When he returned to the capital yesterday, he saw the portraits with human heads plastered all over the streets of Xuandu.
Now I can only hope that someone can explain this person's identity after seeing this portrait.
In this way, they can also know the identity of one of the deceased without being blinded like now.
But he didn't know that at this moment, in a corner of the capital, a hurried figure suddenly stopped walking after passing the portrait posted by the Gyeonggi Prefecture!
He looked at the face on the portrait, a look of shock flashed in his eyes!
But he seemed to have more important things to do. He just took a deep look at the portrait, remembered the information on it, and left in a hurry.
All this without alarming anyone around.
In the Jiulong Mansion, everyone had already gotten up. Lin Tao and Han Tong were reviewing their morning lessons under the guidance of Gongsun. Lin Dao, Wu Dongtian and Tang Fengling were standing in the training ground in the backyard, going back and forth with each other. spar in martial arts.
Xue Tianhan and Ling Miaoyin stood aside and watched quietly.
On the other side, the Four Saints, Ice King, Flame Lord, Sword Saint and Dragon Lord, also looked at the scene where the three of them were competing, sometimes smiling and giving some advice.
"This girl's internal strength is as good as that of Lao Tou'er. Once she uses the Void Escape Technique, I'm afraid it will be difficult for the other two to shake her..."
Yan Zun looked at Tang Fengling who was calmly performing her movements in the field, and nodded approvingly.
"Yes...but if Wu Dongtian can combine the strengths of his two masters, the result may not be certain if he goes further."
The sword master nodded slightly, but he had a different opinion.
Immediately, her eyes shifted from Wu Dongtian to Lin Dao's sword skills.
Seeing Lin Dao's movements with the sword, her eyes suddenly froze slightly.
She remembered someone from the past.
The other three people also looked at Lin Dao and sighed slightly.
"We weren't like this when we were in Tianji Mansion?" Long Zun suddenly spoke and sighed.
"Yes... but time is ruthless, and we can never go back to that time..." Ice King sighed deeply, with a rare look of loneliness on his face.
Seeing this, the other three looked at each other and sighed.
When they were in Tianji Mansion, that man was the best friend with Bing Wang and Wu Kuang. After that incident happened, Bing Wang and Wu Kuang were the most regretful.
"well……"
Recalling what happened back then, the four people suddenly had endless regrets in their eyes.
On the side, Chen Yutian, who was walking from the front, couldn't help but be curious when he saw the sighs of the elders opposite.
At this moment, there was a sudden sound from behind.
"It's time to eat!"
With a sound, everyone in the yard, whether they were participating in the competition or watching the battle, sat down at the stone table in the yard as quickly as possible.
This table was made yesterday, specially for everyone to eat.
After all, there is now a female chef in Jiulong Mansion. After eating her cooking, everyone no longer wants to eat food from outside restaurants, so Huo Yuanji specially made use of Xue Tianhan's family connections to make something like this A stone table.
Chen Jing was stunned when he saw everyone's lightning-like reactions.
Seeing this, Chen Yutian also smiled bitterly.
After a while, Lin Feifei and Huo Yuanji came in holding steaming meals.
Although it was just breakfast, Lin Feifei still cooked a sumptuous meal. Four or five dishes, several rounds of steamed buns, and a pot of steaming wontons immediately aroused everyone's greed.
Chen Jing couldn't help but twitch her index finger when she smelled the aroma of food filling the air.
When the food is on the table, everyone gets started immediately.
Dozens of pairs of chopsticks moved towards the plates of deliciously delicious food.
Chen Jing was immediately startled. I wonder what happened to these people? Why does it look like you haven't eaten in a long time?
He casually put a wonton in his bowl into his mouth.
Immediately, an indescribable wonderful feeling flooded my taste buds.
Chen Jing was stunned for a moment, and then ate another one.
The wonderful feeling came up again, and it was stronger than the last time, making his eyes light up involuntarily!
"Wonderful! Wonderful! These are simply the most delicious wontons I have ever eaten in my life..."
He was full of praise, and Huo Yuanji's eyes flashed with pride.
Of course, it was my Feifei hand after all... He thought to himself.
Then he picked up his chopsticks and tasted it carefully...
Everyone was getting excited about eating when they heard Zhou Lin's voice suddenly coming from outside the door: "It's not good, it's not good, another body has been found..."
Everyone's brows suddenly frowned, and a touch of bitterness flashed across their eyes.
It can't be such a coincidence, right?
…
…
Zhou Lin took three steps at a time and came to the backyard while shouting.
When he arrived at the backyard, he was stunned by the scene in front of him.
I saw Chen Yutian looking at him with a smile and a half-bitten Xiao Long Bao, and asked: "Zhou Captou, what happened? Why are you so anxious?"
Zhou Lin was stunned for a moment, and a strong smell of food rushed into his nostrils, making his stomach growl unsatisfactorily before he could have breakfast.
"Gu..."
Chen Yutian glanced at him with a smile, picked up a small steamed bun from the table and stuffed it into his hand.
"You haven't had breakfast yet? Come on, take it."
Zhou Lin took the bun in a daze, and soon realized what he was doing here, and shouted quickly.
"My lord, I'm sorry, we received a report this morning and found another headless body in a ruined temple in the east of the city."
Chen Yutian frowned, nodded immediately, and calmly ate the bun in his hand, with a look of anticipation on his face.
"Okay, please tell Uncle Xing that we will be there right away."
After saying that, he picked up the handkerchief and wiped his hands gently.
Then he glanced at everyone who was still eating, and was slightly speechless.
…
…
The body was found in an abandoned Chenghuang Temple in the east of Xuandu City.
There was no incense here a long time ago, and it has always been just a shelter for some beggars and homeless people. Occasionally, there will be some penniless passers-by who spend the night here.
The person who discovered the body was the beggar living in the temple.
The most prosperous night market in Xuandu opened last night, so these beggars did not rest. Instead, they begged in the night market all night, and did not return until the night market closed at dawn.
However, as soon as they returned to their usual place of residence, they found a headless corpse lying in front of the statue of the City God Temple. It was extremely terrifying.
The beggars were frightened and backed away in confusion.
The more timid ones even fainted.
When the Gyeonggi Prefecture received the news, an hour had passed since the body was found.
The person who came to report the crime was not the beggars, but a rogue gangster named Liu Er who had a good relationship with these beggars.
Although Liu Er is a gangster, he values love and justice. He is also smarter than ordinary gangsters. He also read some books and knew some words when he was young.
When he was walking on the street yesterday, he happened to see the portrait announcement posted by the government.
After seeing the corpse in the temple, he immediately remembered the notice and went to Gyeonggi Prefecture with a few bold beggars to report the crime.
After receiving the report, Xing Enming immediately led his troops to the temple.
When he saw the headless corpse lying in front of the broken statue, his brows suddenly furrowed.
Like the corpses he had seen before, the deceased had no head and was wearing a pure black silk robe, lying on the ground covered in blood.
Judging from the material of the clothes on his body, the deceased should be either rich or noble.
But as before, without his head, it was difficult to identify him.
As always, Wusaku came to the corpse and began to examine it.
Xing Enming looked at Liu Er who reported the crime and asked: "Liu Er, I want to ask you, do you think these beggars discovered this body?"
Liu Er nodded and said: "Exactly, sir. This was originally the residence of my beggar friends, and occasionally penniless wanderers would come to spend the night... Last night happened to be the night market, so my These beggar friends stayed away all night, and when they came back at dawn today, they found this headless body lying here..."
"Oh?" Xing Enming's expression changed slightly, he turned to look at the beggars and asked, "Have you ever seen this person before?"
The beggars shook their heads and said, "I've never seen him before, and this person doesn't even have his head, so I don't even know who he is..."
Hearing this answer, Xing Enming sighed.
The biggest problem right now is here.
Since the deceased had no head, his identity could not be determined, and naturally he could not get clues from the people around him.
At this moment, a little beggar next to Liu Er looked at the black clothes of the deceased and showed a thoughtful expression.
When Xing Enming saw this, his eyes flashed!
"What did this little brother discover?"
The little beggar was startled, glanced at Xing Enming timidly, and said with a slight stutter: "Sir... I think this person's clothes are somewhat similar to the person who came to spend the night last night..."
Hearing this, the beggars around them all changed their expressions.
Xing Enming glanced at the little beggar, his eyes lit up, he glanced at the beggars and said, "Oh? Are you sure?"
The beggars around looked at me and I looked at you, with a hint of surprise in their expressions.
A beggar suddenly said: "That's right! That's that person. The clothes are exactly the same! It should be that person!"
There was a hint of excitement in Xing Enming's expression, and he was about to ask in detail when he heard a chuckle suddenly coming from outside the temple gate.
"Oh? Who is it?"
Hearing this laughter, Xing Enming's expression suddenly changed.
Liu Er and the beggars also looked behind them, and saw a young man in white clothes holding a jade fracture fan walking in with a smile on his face.
Behind him, there was a scholar in white and a good-looking young man in white.
After that, there are three beautiful girls, an equally good-looking man in red, and an ordinary-looking but rough young man.
Finally, there was a kind-looking young man in white and a swordsman in black with a scar on his face.
The young man's face was full of smiles, giving people a sense of intimacy.
The black-clothed swordsman had a cold expression on his face, which made the beggars around him couldn't help but be startled!
The appearance of these people immediately made Xing Enming smile.
"Yutian, you are finally here."
These people were the people from Jiulong Mansion who came as quickly as possible after being notified by Zhou Lin.
Chen Yutian waved his hand slightly, glanced at the bold beggar, and said with a smile: "Brother, who does the deceased's clothes belong to?"
The bold beggar glanced blankly at Chen Yutian, then at Xing Enming, and found that he was not angry, so he said, "That's the person who stayed here for the night last night!"
Chen Yutian frowned slightly and asked, "A person staying overnight?"
"Yes, when we left last night, a man in black wearing the same clothes as this man came here to spend the night. He also said he had an appointment with friends here and asked if he would disturb us. We also told him to relax I told him that we were all going to the night market to beg, and we probably wouldn’t come back at night. He seemed very happy when he found out."
said the bold beggar.
Hearing this, Chen Yu's eyes narrowed slightly, and after pondering for a moment, he asked: "Then do you still remember that person's appearance?"
"Of course!" The beggar nodded without thinking, "Although I have no impression of his appearance, I remember that he had a big scar on his cheek, just like this big brother."
He pointed to Lin Dao beside him.
Chen Yutian nodded slightly and said, "I understand. Thank you for your cooperation. If you remember anything later, remember to tell us in time."
"Okay." The beggar nodded.
Chen Yutian turned to look at the body on the ground.
Gongsun is conducting an autopsy with the governor of Gyeonggi Prefecture.
After the last lesson, the governor of Gyeonggi Prefecture obviously learned wisely. Before Gongsun came, he did not draw a conclusion directly, but kept his results in his heart for the time being.
Gongsun reached out and touched the body gently, frowning slightly.
Obviously, the deceased suffered the same heart-destroying sword energy as before, and his internal organs were severely damaged, but nothing could be seen from the outside.
He glanced at Chen Yutian and then picked up the deceased's right hand.
The next moment, he pushed up the sleeve of the deceased's right arm.
Suddenly, his eyes flashed suddenly!
I saw that on the right wrist of the corpse, there was also a scar that looked like a washed-out tattoo.
Looking at the scar, Chen Yutian's eyes flashed slightly. At this moment, Tang Fengling behind him suddenly spoke and shouted: "I finally remembered. No wonder I think this guy looks familiar. It turns out It's him..."
Everyone’s eyes suddenly flashed!
Chen Yutian glanced at her curiously and asked, "Who is it?"
"They are the two mysterious people I met at the gate of the Wu family manor that I mentioned before. One of them was wearing clothes exactly like this corpse!"
Tang Fengling said this.
