Chapter 17 Transparent Blood
Under the cover of night, the two of them returned to the villa. Sikong Haoxuan threw Nanxing, who was full of problems, into the room, activate the years on his body. He looked back to the room and closed his eyes to practice. It seemed that nothing had happened tonight, and everything was so natural.
The city guards are worthy of being one of the elite troops guarding the imperial capital. Shortly after Sikong Haoxuan returned to their homes, they discovered the abnormality of the surveillance target. The battalion commander in charge of surveillance did not dare to neglect and hurriedly reported the matter.
In a very short time, the commander of the city guards came in person. After breaking in and checking, the faces of the city guards who were facing a great enemy changed drastically, and fifty thieves were killed in the room without exception.
After scolding the battalion commander who was in charge of surveillance with a dark face, the city guard commander was startling to think about how to explain to his superiors. Just kidding, under the surveillance of a whole battalion of city guards, people silently killed fifty people without knowing it. Let's not talk about the face of the city guards for such a dereliction of duty, the head of the city guards would be unstable.
While Karnak was worried about his head, Sikong Buqun, who was in charge of the imperial military affairs, had already disappeared. In the study of Sikong Mansion, he summoned Karnak, the commander of the city guards overnight.
In the study, Sikong Buqun sat upright in the middle, staring at Karnak who was rushing to come. Sikong Buqun was always satisfied with the member of the family who was promoted by himself. He was a capable person. He was also very puzzled. How could such a big mistake occur in such an important matter?
Sikong Buqun said to Karnak, who was standing respectfully in front of him: "Do you know the consequences of this matter?"
Karnak didn't dare to look up and knelt on the ground, "Yes, please punish the master!"
"Punishment?! Can punishment make up for your mistakes? Do you know that if this matter is not handled well, you will be kicked down as the commander of the city guards. You clearly know that this matter was personally inquired by Your Majesty, why are you so careless? Do you think the other families will let this matter go easily in front of Your Majesty?" Sikong Buqun said angrily.
Looking at Karnak, who was kneeling on the ground silently, Sikong Buqun closed his eyes and calmed down his emotions. "Have you ever investigated the scene and found some clues left by the murderer?"
Karnak said: "The subordinates have ordered people to investigate the scene. Judging from the murderer's route, the murderer is very familiar with the defense of the City Guards. Such a bold speculation is that it was done by people inside the City Guards or within the family. Judging from the footprints found on the scene, the subordinates speculated that the murderer was two. The footprints were small and short. First of all, it was ruled out that it was done by the dwarves, because the footprints are relatively shallow, and with the average weight of the dwarves, it is impossible to leave such shallow footprints. The rest are the dwarves, but the subordinates really cannot analyze why the rare dwarves took the risk of killing the Blood Thieves Group."
Karnak said this in one breath and continued with some hesitation: "From the footprints, there is another possibility, that is, underage children. But it is even more ridiculous to say that two children killed the elites of the 50 Blood Thieves Group. In addition, the murderer's killing method is very special, and it seems to be a habit. All the 50 Blood Thieves were crushed to death." Karnak finished speaking and presented the written report to Sikong Buqun.
Sikong Buqun was very satisfied with Karnak's performance when he looked at the report in his hand. After the change, he was able to react quickly. "It seems that footprints and this special killing habit are the only clues left by the murderer. Have the magicians made the footprints replica?"
"The magician from the City Guard has been invited to go there, but because the footprints are too shallow and the compression of the earth element is limited, it takes a long time for the magician to completely restore the footprints left on the ground."
Sikong Buqun nodded and said, "You go back first, and let the city guards block the nine gates and arrest any suspected targets."
After Karnak withdrew from the study, Sikong Buqun handed the report in his hand to the person around him, "Mr. Xi, how do you view this matter?"
Mr. Xi, who lives in seclusion on weekdays, seems very mysterious. No one in Sikong Mansion knows what his name is, but everyone knows that Mr. Xi is definitely deeply trusted by Sikong.
After carefully reading the report, Mr. Xi, who was holding the beard, said: "Kanak is indeed a talent and has a very fast ability to adapt. It is indeed not easy to make such a detailed report just as the incident happened. However, the murderer's killing method is indeed puzzling. Broken Adam's apple is a rare killing method on the mainland. However, scouts in the army often use this method, and it is also very likely that the murderer's intentional concealment. Another possibility is that several other families have fallen in love with the position of the commander and can't stand the loneliness."
Sikong Buqun's eyes flashed, "I won't analyze who the murderer is for the time being. Let's first think about how to maintain one of the commanders of the city guards tomorrow morning. I want to attack our Sikong family, hum!"
That night, the lights in the study of the head of the Sikong family were on all night. Sikong Haoxuan didn't know anything. He thought that the seamless things were about to emerge under the analysis of several people. Magic, Sikong Haoxuan's core skills in this world were still in a ignorant stage.
In the early morning, Sikong Haoxuan opened his eyes on time, washed up under Xueer's careful care, and dressed neatly. A maid came to report that Song Ziyan would have breakfast with Sikong Haoxuan today.
With Xueer who had been cleaned up, Sikong Haoxuan walked towards his mother's villa. Although the morning air was so fresh in the Sikong mansion full of trees and flowers, Sikong Haoxuan still frowned for the long journey to his mother's villa, thinking about making a sedan chair as soon as possible.
On the way, Sikong Haoxuan was thinking about designing his own sedan chair. Although the scenery in the mansion was beautiful, it could no longer attract Sikong Haoxuan, who was in it every day.
If you concentrate on experiencing something, time always seems short, and you will come to your mother's villa without realizing it. Song Ziyan, who has not seen Sikong Haoxuan for a few days, seems very happy, "Xuan'er, I haven't been here for a few days. Have you ever been here for me? Have you ever been forgot about my mother?"
Sikong Haoxuan knew that Song Ziyan was referring to the amethyst card he gave him on his birthday. The crystal coins there were incomparable to the pocket money allocated to him by the housekeepers in the house. Sikong Haoxuan hurriedly stepped forward and helped his mother and said, "Mom, look at what you said. How could I forget to pay you a favor? It's really not close to my yard, and you also know that your son is just a little lazy. It will be fine in a few days. I have already thought of a way to come to see you every day in the future."
When Song Ziyan, who had already been full of joy in Sikong Haoxuan, she would really blame her son, and she took Sikong Haoxuan to sit down at the table, waved her hand to signal the maid to have dinner.
Song Ziyan took a pure-colored golden wine pot from her maid and said, "Xuan'er, this is a specialty sent by your father from southern Xinjiang. It is also a very precious thing in southern Xinjiang. This is what he sent to honor your grandfather. Mom robbed you and you also tried it."
Song Ziyan personally injected a transparent liquid containing a few strands of bright red blood into the wine glass in front of Sikong Haoxuan. "Xuan'er, this is the blood of the specialty golden beast in the golden forest in the southern Xinjiang region. Your father has not mixed a trace of water, try it."
Sikong Haoxuan felt that this liquid was a kind of blood when Song Ziyan poured out the liquid. Soul witchcraft was called the most cruel, weird, and witchcraft in ancient times because the basis of soul witchcraft was blood witchcraft. Only after ingesting biological blood and stabilizing the foundation of witchcraft can one absorb biological souls to practice soul witchcraft. By chance, Sikong Haoxuan directly condensed a powerful innate soul in the mother body. Although he skipped the stage of blood witch, he still had a natural keen perception of blood.
