The tragedy in the imperial capital shocked the court.
At the court meeting early the next morning, the corpses of people from thirteen families who died were all carried to the main hall.
There were more than twenty corpses in total.
There are people of all ages.
Moreover, these corpses, without exception, did not have any external injuries, but they all maintained a look of pain on their faces.
Dongfang Su personally inspected the corpses and quickly found out the clues.
"The soul was taken away."
Dongfang Su said with a gloomy face.
The ministers also looked solemn.
These are just ordinary people.
Why was the soul taken away?
It's simply insane behavior.
"Were there any clues found at the scene?"
Dongfang Su looked at several ministers.
Several ministers all shook their heads.
Dongfang Su looked at Lone Moon not far away again.
Gu Yue nodded slightly.
After the incident, Dongfang Su also sent Gu Yue to check the scene.
Obviously Gu Yue must have found something.
"Carry the body down first."
"yes!"
The guards carried the body out first.
Then Dongfang Su ordered the capital to be under martial law, and three of the four city gates were closed, leaving only one able to enter and exit.
Moreover, people entering and leaving the city gate must also undergo strict interrogation. If there is any unidentified person, they will be detained immediately.
Patrols in the capital have also been strengthened a lot.
Originally, only ten teams of Imperial Guards would patrol the capital.
It has now increased to twenty teams.
After retiring from the court, Gu Yue came to Dongfang Su's side.
"Did you find anything?"
Dongfang Su asked immediately.
"I found a footprint in a common people's home."
Gu Yue said as she took out a jade slip from her storage bag.
The impression of the footprints was carved into the jade slip.
Dongfang Su glanced at it and couldn't help but frown.
This footprint doesn't look big.
It should be a woman's footprints.
"woman?"
Gu Yue nodded.
Dongfang Su took a deep breath.
"There are still too few clues, and we don't know if the murderer is still in the city."
On the second day.
Tragedy happened again.
Three more families died inexplicably.
Just like the previous deceased, there were also
There was no trace of trauma, but the soul was directly taken away.
Dongfang Su was very angry.
I have sent people to patrol day and night, but something like this still happens.
He cursed the commander of the imperial guards.
Then I personally went to the place where the incident occurred.
Unfortunately.
No clues.
Everything seemed normal.
Nothing out of the ordinary.
Dongfang Su can only continue to have people patrol closely, but there is no other effective means of response.
Night falls again.
Above the imperial capital.
Dongfang Su stands in the sky.
Behind him were Gu Yue and more than ten personal guards.
Dongfang Su will come and watch in person tonight.
No movement in the entire capital could escape Dongfang Su's ears.
The first half of the night was calm.
Nothing happened.
No one was walking around on the street.
After all, something like this happened two nights in a row, and every household was scared to death.
When it gets dark, the doors and windows of every house are tightly closed.
In the streets and alleys, guards are constantly patrolling.
The entire capital seemed very strict.
In the middle of the night.
Everything seems to be calm.
But all of a sudden.
Dongfang Su's eyes narrowed.
He saw a dark shadow flash past among the houses below.
"Chase!"
Dongfang Su immediately caught up.
The black shadow was extremely fast. Although Dongfang Su saw the black shadow, he couldn't catch up with it for a while.
soon.
The black shadow disappeared.
Dongfang Su's face was extremely ugly.
"I actually let this person run away!"
Gu Yue and others immediately went to check on the situation of the nearby people.
