"No traces of smoke were found in the body of the deceased or in the wing. Is it possible to retain the phantom formation and confinement?"
"There are obvious signs of rummaging in the auction warehouse, which is suspected to have been done by the murderer after the murder. However, after comparing the entry and exit records of the auction house, nothing was lost in the warehouse."
"According to Qin Za from the auction house, the three owners will gather in the warehouse after the auction every day to prevent others from disturbing them."
"No one noticed that the suspicious person came into contact with the three deceased persons."
"The three deceased people had many enemies due to their complicated business experiences over the years. We cannot rule out the possibility of deliberate vendetta."
...
I have gone through the dossier one by one, the basic procedures have been completed, and the first-hand case information obtained is relatively complete. From Shen Hao's point of view, although there are no highlights, it is not wrong, and it is quite satisfactory.
There are many doubts.
"Looking through boxes and cabinets, we are looking for something. But there is no theft, which means that the thing the murderer is looking for is not in the warehouse." Shen Hao took the file and habitually deduced it in his mind, just to pass the time.
"There are a lot of items coming in and out of the auction every day, but they are all recorded in detail. If there are no items in the warehouse, it means that they are either not stored in the warehouse, or they have been sold during the day."
"Hiss..." Shen Hao thought of this and suddenly realized that the time of this case seemed to be related to him. Because he and Chen Tianwen went to the Hongyun Auction together during the day when the crime occurred, and they each bought something from the auction. What Chen Tianwen took back was the low-grade dagger-like magic weapon, and what he took back was the piece of Yin Jade.
Thinking back carefully, the most expensive item at yesterday's auction was the rare mid-grade soft armor, and then there was a very ordinary high-grade magic weapon. Other than that, there was nothing special.
Except... Shen Hao had to think of the Kuaiyin jade he got back. To say "special", he was sure that the most special thing in the entire auction yesterday was the Yin Jade he took. However, there was something strange about that piece of Yin Jade. Ordinary people would not be able to tell that there was a layer of residual images on it. .
As a result, Shen Hao suddenly felt that this matter might really come to him.
For that piece of Yin Jade?
Thinking of this, Shen Hao might be a little unable to sit still. With a wave of his hand, he led ten members of Baihu Guards and Zhang Liao's Group B back to the camp.
I rushed back to the tent. Fortunately, the things were still there.
I am extremely lucky that I changed into regular clothes when I went to the auction yesterday. After entering, he did not identify himself. He even took pictures of things and came out without communicating with anyone else at all.
If, Shen Hao was thinking, if he had not changed into regular clothes at that time, would the result have been different?
Looking at the Yin Jade in his hand, Shen Hao felt depressed and knew that he was in big trouble this time.
threw? Anyway, can’t you just trace the picture above yourself?
But as soon as the thought came to his mind, he felt a stabbing pain in his chest. It seems that it cannot be thrown away.
Fortunately, this thing is not too big. It is about the size of a palm and although it is a bit awkward to carry in your arms, it is still manageable. At present, this is the safest way he can think of.
"Why......"
I had been feeling depressed all day, but in the blink of an eye a new day came. Tomorrow was the day when the gate of Guishan Monastery would be opened, and the whole Pingjiang city was at its peak. Not only could there be no room for so many people in the city, but there were many temporary tents outside the city near the city wall, and people who came in a hurry were living outside the city.
However, the lively scene made the Xuanqing guards feel depressed.
Another person died in Pingjiang City last night.
Three people died, two adults and one child. In the inn. The body was discovered by the resident next door to the room where the crime occurred. They also died quietly, their necks were cut and they bled to death, and there were no traces of a fight at all. Even if the guests living next door hadn't smelled the strong smell of blood, no one would have discovered it until dawn at least.
There have been murders for two consecutive days, but all the people who died were monks, even with high levels of cultivation. The previous three God-Gathering Realms, this time there was one God-Gathering Realm, one Qi-Refining Realm, and a seven-year-old child.
There were obvious signs that the room had been searched, but it was unclear whether anything had been lost.
What made Shen Hao frown the most was that he had seen the younger of the two adults who died this time. If he remembered correctly, this person was sitting behind him and Chen Tianwen.
The first case could still be suppressed, but the second case happened immediately afterwards, and it couldn't be suppressed, especially since the crime occurred in an inn, and it was spread around immediately. Not to mention causing panic, at least everyone who heard the news was secretly on guard.
If you can kill someone in the God Gathering Realm, then you are not an easy person to deal with.
The person who took over the second case was Ji Ziqi. The general's name was Ma He. He knew that this matter was too troublesome and he did not dare to take responsibility alone. He immediately asked Liu Chuan for instructions and requested that the investigation be merged with yesterday's first case.
No surprise, the two cases were quickly merged and reported to Licheng at the same time.
And Liu Chuan simply said that since the case could not be suppressed, he would simply open it and publicize it widely. Anyway, it seems that the murderer's target is currently locked on the monks who came to attend the grand event at the gate of Guishan Monastery, so that everyone can know After there is a killer in the dark, we should be more vigilant and reduce the scope of activities of some killers.
However, the cases were merged, but the intensity of the investigation did not increase. Neither Liu Chuan nor Han Yuan and Ma He, who were specifically responsible for the case, focused on the case because the grand event at the gate of Guishan Monastery was about to happen and they were not busy at all. Don't come.
Only Shen Hao was more and more certain in his heart that he was the one the murderer was looking for.
On the first day, I broke into the auction to look for something, but found that it was not there. I happened to run into three auction owners who were meeting in the warehouse. They probably asked questions, but they only asked about the general appearance of the person who bought the thing, such as their age. and physical conduct, as well as general seating position. Then there was the murder the next day. Although the person found this time was about the same size and age as Shen Hao, it was a pity that the person found was a row away from him, so he died unjustly.
Shen Hao simply thought through the logic in his mind, and then secretly said that it was very dangerous, with a cold sweat on his back.
"No, it's only a matter of time before we are found if this goes on. We have to find a way."
In fact, the easiest way is to just leave and run far away so that the other party cannot find him. After all, it is still difficult to find the right person based on superficial clues. But the problem is that Shen Hao can't leave now.
What's even more troublesome is that judging from the other party's methods in the two cases, his cultivation is probably terrifyingly strong. Shen Hao feels that once he is found, he will basically be dead.
what to do?
...
November 12th, sunny and breezy.
The gate of Guishan Monastery is wide open, with three gates set up to recruit disciples.
