This is the head of an old man. Judging from the face, he is about fifty years old. His eyes are slightly sunken, and his face is full of traces of time.
Bai Fan instantly understood why the Taoist boy showed such a horrified expression when he held the box. It turned out to be because the box contained a human head.
"Guanzhu, this is..."
Xie Dingtian sighed slightly and said: "Everyone has seen it too... It is because of this thing that Pindao can conclude that all of you will definitely come to this temple in the near future."
"I see..." Everyone nodded.
"But where did you get this head?" Wu Dongtian asked the most critical question. Everyone nodded in agreement.
Xie Dingtian said: "I think this is a bit strange. Although Wulongguan is not completely aloof from the world, we almost never get involved in martial arts matters. Logically speaking, we should not provoke friends in the world, but When I woke up this afternoon, the little Taoist boys in the temple discovered this wooden box at the door."
"You said this wooden box was found at the door?"
Huo Yuanji's eyes flashed slightly.
"Yes. But this wooden box was brought by Yi Nian. You can ask him for the specific situation." Xie Dingtian pointed to the little Taoist boy beside him.
Everyone's eyes immediately followed his direction and looked at the little Taoist boy.
When Xiao Daotong saw everyone's eyes turned towards him for an instant, he couldn't help but feel nervous.
Seeing this, Huo Yuanji smiled slightly, showed a kind smile, and said: "Little master, can you tell us the details of the situation at that time?"
The little Taoist boy nodded timidly, his little face flushed red from being too nervous. He looked at Bai Fan and nodded slightly.
"At that time, the temple owner was still taking a nap. Because I couldn't sleep, I did my chores first. But when I got to the yard and was about to sweep the floor, I suddenly heard a slight sound coming from outside the door..."
The little Taoist boy's voice was slightly quiet.
"After hearing the sound, I felt a little strange, so I opened the door and took a look, but I didn't find anyone, and there was only the box on the ground..."
"I thought this box was a little strange, so I opened it and took a look. Who knew I had just opened the box..."
The little Taoist boy's face suddenly turned pale, and his eyes were filled with fear.
"...I saw a human head inside!"
"I was frightened at the time and quickly took the wooden box to find the owner."
Hearing this, everyone in Jiulong Mansion secretly looked at each other.
Then, Huo Yuanji looked at Xiao Daotong again.
"And after that?"
"After that..." The little Taoist boy hesitated for a moment and looked at the viewer next to him.
Xie Dingtian smiled and said: "Let me tell you what happens next... Yi Nian found me with a wooden box. After I saw the human head in the wooden box, I immediately remembered the uproar in the capital recently. I originally planned to send someone to your residence for the unsolved case, but after I personally conducted a divination, I calculated that you would come to visit today, so I asked Yi Nian to wait at the door..."
"You all know what happened next..." Xie Dingtian smiled and looked at Bai Fan and the people behind him.
Huo Yuanji nodded slightly, and then looked at the box in his hand. The human head lay quietly in the box, glowing with faint golden particles under the dimming light of dusk outside.
He frowned slightly.
Judging from the appearance and age of this human head, it matches the two headless corpses found by the river today.
But could the murderer put his head at the door of Wulongguan?
Not to mention Wulongguan's background in the martial arts world, it simply has no connection with the case, so it should be impossible for the murderer to implicate it.
Not to mention, they also sent them blood reports.
Since none of this could have been done by the murderer Yue Lingxiao, then who could it be?
Futian Sect?
If it was really them, then why did they do this?
"Is it to force Yue Lingxiao out?"
Huo Yuanji murmured to himself.
"But how can they force Yue Lingxiao out like this? If he hides because of this, wouldn't it be more of a loss than a gain?"
"Or... their purpose is far beyond this?"
His gaze became deeper and deeper, and a look of deep contemplation filled his eyes.
After a while, it returned to normal.
Then, he looked at the other people around him calmly. After everyone exchanged glances, Huo Yuanji spoke again: "Master, we all understand the general situation of the matter... Let's take this thing first. We are back, if there is any latest news, we will definitely inform the temple owner."
Xie Dingtian nodded slightly and said: "That's very good. Just think of it and help me send it to you all."
The little Taotong nodded slightly, but Huo Yuanji waved his hand slightly and said with a smile: "No need, I'll take my leave right now, please."
After that, he led everyone directly out of the main hall of Wulong Temple.
After walking out of Wulong Temple, everyone headed straight towards Jiulong Mansion.
…
…
At the same time, inside the Kowloon Mansion.
Xue Tianhan and Ling Miaoyin walked in with a white baggage.
As soon as they entered the main hall, they saw Chen Yutian and Xuan Xi sitting in the main hall, looking at them indifferently.
"Come back?" Chen Yutian glanced at Xue Tianhan lightly and smiled.
Xue Tianhan also smiled, looked around, and then said: "It seems that you missed everything and found nothing."
Chen Yutian also nodded and said with a smile: "Yeah... I didn't expect that my luck would be so bad, and I missed it... I have to wait here for you to come back."
As he spoke, his eyes fell on the white bundle.
"It looks like you really gained something."
"Yes... But for me, I would rather not have such a harvest." Xue Tianhan said lightly, and then took the baggage from Ling Miaoyin's hand.
Seeing such action, Chen Yutian suddenly had a guess in his heart.
"For you to be able to do this, it seems that the harvest this time is indeed not small."
Xue Tianhan didn't pay attention to him, but unbuttoned the baggage and completely opened the outer baggage skin. And the moment the baggage was opened, the contents inside suddenly revealed their true colors.
The eyes of Chen Yutian and Xuan Xi suddenly flashed!
As their bodies trembled slightly, their pupils also shrank involuntarily!
"It is indeed a rich harvest!"
Chen Yutian looked at the head and sighed slightly.
Xuan Xi frowned slightly. Unexpectedly, the "things he wanted to find" written in the blood book referred to the heads of the deceased who were taken away.
This is indeed what they are looking for!
But how did the messenger know where the murderer hid the head?
In other words, these heads were originally hidden by him.
But if so, why did he want to return these heads that he had worked so hard to take away from the dead, and what was his purpose?
Xuan Xi narrowed his eyes slightly.
As she spends more and more time with Chen Yu, her thinking about problems is now much better than before.
But even so, she still couldn't figure out the current problem.
Xue Tianhan looked at the head and frowned slightly. Chen Yutian knew that his innate mysophobia had occurred again, so he did not force himself and said to him: "Brother Xue, if you really can't stand it, go outside first." Let’s take a rest in the side hall.”
"That's fine." Xue Tianhan nodded.
He really couldn't stand it anymore.
Although the head was carried by a woman named Ling Miaoyin along the way, even so, he still felt uncomfortable. As soon as he saw the white package and thought of a disgusting head full of blood inside, he I couldn't help but get goosebumps all over my body.
It’s really unbearable!
After Xue Tianhan left, Chen Yutian asked Ling Miaoyin to describe in detail the whole process of discovering the head. When he heard that the head was placed on a clean wooden plate, his eyes suddenly flashed!
"You said the head was placed on a clean wooden platter?"
Ling Miaoyin smiled slightly. nodded. "Yes."
"Isn't this strange?" Chen Yutian frowned slightly.
On the side, Xuan Xi also frowned.
It is indeed a bit strange. The ruined temple has not been inhabited for many years, so it should have been filled with dust. And according to Ling Miaoyin, the ruined temple was indeed full of dust, and Xue Tianhan almost turned around and left because of this.
But the wooden tray used to place the head was actually clean!
This is too unreasonable.
"In this case, there is only one explanation... that is, the wooden plate and the head were not originally placed in the ruined temple, but were placed there recently." Xuan Xi said.
Chen Yutian nodded slightly.
"Yes, this is indeed the most reasonable explanation, but there is another question, which is who put those things there? Could it be Yue Lingxiao?"
"This..." Xuan Xi was speechless for a moment, "I really don't know how to answer this. According to common sense, this is naturally impossible, but Yue Lingxiao has done something similar before, so it's difficult for me. Make sure he did this."
Chen Yutian smiled slightly, "Yes, I think so too. It seems that our top priority is to find out who did these heads and the bloody letter."
"These?" Xuan Xi was slightly startled!
"Yeah... don't forget that there are two addresses written on the blood book. I think there should be a human head waiting for us at the Five Dragons Temple in another place!"
As soon as Chen Yutian finished speaking, he heard Huo Yuanji's laughter coming from outside.
"Brother Chen is really good at predicting things!"
As the words fell, Huo Yuanji, Bai Fan, Wu Dongtian, Lin Dao, Tang Fengling, Tian Ying, and Lin Feifei walked in together. Huo Yuanji held a square wooden box in his hand. The eyes of several people in the room immediately focused on this wooden box.
Seeing this scene, Huo Yuanji laughed even harder.
Then he saw the human head on the table on top of the white cloth.
"It seems that our gains are very similar..."
As he spoke, he took out the human head from the box. When they saw this thing, even though they had been prepared in their hearts, Chen Yutian, Xuan Xi, and Ling Miaoyin couldn't help but shrink their pupils slightly!
Then Chen Yutian looked back at the head brought back by Ling Miaoyin. He had not noticed it just now. Now when he saw the head brought back by Huo Yuanji, he realized that the face of this head seemed to be different. Not young, probably around fifty or sixty.
This age is similar to the age of the two headless corpses that Gongsun speculated this morning.
Could these be the heads of those two corpses?
Chen Yutian frowned slightly.
"Counting these two, we are only one short of one." He suddenly said.
Hearing this, Huo Yuanji nodded, "Yes... we are just missing the last one. I wonder when he will appear in front of us?"
Listening to such a strange conversation between the two, Ling Miaoyin and Xuan Xi couldn't help but feel a little confused.
"What are you talking about? Why is there still one missing?"
Chen Yutian smiled slightly, "Of course it's human heads... Think about it, how many people died in this case, how many headless corpses did we find? How many heads were found?"
After hearing Chen Yutian's series of questions, the two women immediately calculated in their hearts, and then their expressions suddenly changed!
"So, the last one who is worse is..."
"Yes, it is Wu Chengtian's head, and it is also the head of the first victim in this case!" Gongsun suddenly walked in and looked at the two heads on the table.
"This is what you gained from this trip." He asked.
Everyone nodded.
Gongsun smiled, "It seems that this case is getting more and more interesting... These two should be the two corpses in the morning, but it's not clear which one belongs to them."
Chen Yutian nodded slightly.
"We have also thought about this... But what we are more confused about now is who sent the blood letter and the two heads? Could it be Yue Lingxiao, the murderer, or someone else?"
Hearing this, Gongsun frowned slightly.
"This matter is indeed important, but I can't get relevant information just from these two heads."
"Of course we are aware of this matter." Chen Yutian nodded again, and when he was about to continue, his expression suddenly changed!
Others in the hall were also agreeing on the time, and their expressions changed drastically!
"You feel it too?"
Everyone nodded.
Chen Yutian narrowed his eyes slightly, then took a step forward, directly to the door of Jiulong Mansion, and shouted: "Since you are here, why don't you come in and sit down?"
"hehe……"
The moment Chen Yutian's words fell to the ground, a laugh suddenly sounded.
"I can't bear Master Chen's invitation. I came here this time just to give you a gift. Please keep it!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the rapid sound of breaking wind suddenly hit him, causing Chen Yutian's complexion to change slightly, and then he poured his inner strength into his right hand and suddenly thrust forward.
And the moment his right hand popped out, something with the force of thunder crashed directly into his hand.
"The things have been delivered, please say goodbye!"
The voice sounded again, and then drifted farther and farther away. Chen Yutian winked at Tang Fengling behind him.
The latter immediately nodded and disappeared.
Looking at the direction where the sound went away, Chen Yutian looked at his hands.
And the moment he saw the thing in his hand, a huge wave surged in his heart!
The moment his mind was swallowed up by the huge wave, his hands trembled suddenly and he almost dropped what he was holding!
"How...how...could it be...this..."
He looked at the thing in his hand and was speechless for a long time!
An unexpected look of shock filled his eyes!
I saw that the thing in his hand was also a human head!
And the face of this head is clearly... the real culprit in the entire case!
The face of this human head is exactly the same as the face of Yue Lingxiao painted on the wanted poster!
It’s certain that this should be Yue Lingxiao’s head!
But, why does his head appear here?
At this moment, Chen Yutian's heart was filled with mystery.
