On the second day after Xingjue broke through to the high-level War Saint, they finally arrived at a county town called Shacheng, but now this most glorious mansion in the past has become a dead house, and the mansion is filled with evil spirits.
The smell of blood was nauseating, and the outside of the house was blocked by a large number of county government officials.
Yamen are the guards of the county government, and they are the fighting force to maintain peace in the county. However, most of them are composed of civilians. Although their strength is similar to that of soldiers and guards, their actual combat capabilities are far different.
"I, the villain, Shacheng County Magistrate, pay my respects to all your lords."
Just after Xing Jue and others walked down from the palace, a large number of government servants surrounded them, and the first one, an old man with a plump body and big ears, wearing a gorgeous robe, led everyone forward to salute, and he
He is the parent official of this county.
"Get up and tell me, when did you find out that Mr. Li's mansion was massacred?"
General Zhao, who was used to this kind of scene, waved his hand and turned his eyes to the gloomy mansion, and the Master Li he mentioned was the owner of this mansion.
"My lord, it was discovered in the early morning five days ago by the government officer who was responsible for patrolling here." Seeing this, the county official did not dare to neglect and answered quickly.
Just when General Zhao was asking the county magistrate about the time of the murder, Xing Jue led Lei Xing and others into the house. After entering the house, even Xing Jue, who had seen many bloody scenes,
The others couldn't help but tremble in their hearts, and a chill slowly dissipated.
Because this house is really miserable. There are large blood stains everywhere on the walls and floors. Although the blood has dried up after many days, the strong fishy smell emanating from it still makes people feel sick. As you can imagine
The tragic appearance at the time of the incident.
And Xing Jue also discovered that Mr. Li's mansion was really not that big. At a glance, it was almost half the county town. And looking at the intact buildings around him, Xing Jue could guess that this person from Li's mansion was
Not all of them were killed with one blow, but killed one by one.
Such a method of committing a crime was able to allow thousands of people in the Li family to escape, which shows that the murderer should not be just one person, but more like many people.
However, except for the bloodstains everywhere, there is no trace of a human being, because the body has been moved to another place by the county government. However, despite this, Xing Jue and others still circled this huge house carefully.
After searching the house, General Zhao and the county magistrate of Shacheng also came in.
"According to what you said, the massacre of the Li family happened at night, and could it be that you didn't notice such a big movement?"
The deeper he went, the greater the damage suffered by Xing Jue. Compared with the intact buildings on the outside, the inner perimeter was in dilapidated condition, especially in the deepest back garden of Li's Mansion.
, this place was almost razed to the ground.
In other words, there had been fierce battles here. If such a battle happened at night, it would not be earth-shattering, but it would certainly cause a sensation in the whole city. However, the county magistrate said that he was discovered early the next morning.
All this is too far-fetched.
"This..." Upon hearing Xing Jue's question, the county magistrate instantly turned pale, and even his body began to tremble uncontrollably, which showed that he was indeed feeling guilty.
"Why are you lying? Tell me!" Seeing this, Xing Jue shouted loudly while staring at him with his sharp eyes.
"Plop"
And Xing Jue's roar, filled with the coercion of a high-level warrior saint, made the county master, who was a mid-level warrior saint, tremble, and then he knelt down in front of Xing Jue with a thud.
"Sir, it's the villain's fault. It's the villain's fault. Villains shouldn't lie."
"It's just adults, you must have seen that the strength of the little people is too weak. Even the strong Li Mansion cannot resist the murderer. Even if I wait in, I will only seek death."
"So, even though the Li Mansion screamed and flames shot into the sky that night, no one dared to approach it. On the contrary, many people packed up their bags and fled out of the city overnight just to avoid being implicated."
Xing Jue's loud shout clearly frightened the county master. He was crying with snot and tears. Looking at his appearance at this moment, Xing Jue could tell that he had not lied again.
"General Zhao, what do you think about this matter?" After hearing what the county magistrate said, Xing Jue turned his attention to General Zhao. Xing Jue was really not good at this kind of thing, so at this time he only asked
General Zhao, who is good at solving crimes, asked for help.
"Master Xingjue, Master Li himself has the strength of a junior God of War. Anyone who can defeat him must be at least at the level of a junior God of War."
"In our Starfall Dynasty, all those who have reached high-level war saints have been accepted as the pillars of the dynasty, and the strong gods of war hold important positions, so when I learned about this case, I had already begun to order people.
Investigate the formation of dynastic officials."
It turned out that General Zhao had already started the case, but to Xing Jue's surprise, he actually directly targeted officials of the Starfall Dynasty.
"General Zhao, couldn't it be someone from another dynasty who did this?" Xing Jue asked in confusion.
"This possibility cannot be ruled out, but apart from the emperor and a handful of ministers today, only the generals of our Tianji camp have contacts with officials from other dynasties, and Mr. Li happens to be not in this group."
"So this greatly reduces the possibility of friction between Mr. Li and people from outside the dynasty. Naturally, the possibility of being assassinated by people from the outside dynasty is also very low."
"So I think the murderer is most likely to be our dynasty." When asked by Xing Jue, General Zhao stated his personal views with reason and basis.
"So that's it. It seems that now we can only wait for the results of the inquiry." After hearing General Zhao's explanation, Xing Jue couldn't help but nodded, because he felt that what General Zhao said was very reasonable.
"Master Xingjue, you don't have to worry. The dynasty has records of the transfer of officials, and it is not difficult to check. Logically speaking, we should be able to get the answer today." Seeing this, General Zhao said again.
"kindness"
Upon seeing this, Xing Jue also nodded in agreement, but after that Xing Jue searched Mr. Li's residence carefully several times, because Xing Jue knew that this case was definitely not that simple. If he simply investigated the transfer and transfer of dynasty officials,
If we can find out the heinous murderer in this itinerary, then solving the case will be too simple.
But to Xingju's helplessness, after half a day of careful search, no clues were found. At this moment, General Zhao finally received a piece of news, which was the recent itinerary of officials from the dynasty.
But what makes Xingjue and others helpless is that, except for Mr. Li who is on vacation at home, no official in the dynasty with strength at the God of War level has left their respective posts. In other words, the possibility that an official within the dynasty is the murderer is almost zero.
.
"It seems that we can only go and see the remains of the Li family members."
After learning about this situation, Xing Jue sighed helplessly, with a look of disappointment on his face, and then led the way to the county government office in Shacheng, because now the body of Qianjo was in the Li Mansion.
All are stored in the county government office.
The reason why they came to check the remains was because Xingjue and the others wanted to find some clues here, because both spiritual weapons and martial arts would have special effects, and would also cause special marks on the corpses, which often
is the best way to find the murderer.
But after seeing these corpses, Xing Jue and the others felt even more horrified, because they were shocked to find that the corpses of thousands of people in the Li family all had the same characteristics!
That is, the origin of the soul is strangled only after the blood is exhausted. In other words, before they die, their blood is drained alive, and after their blood is drained, the origin of their soul is strangled.
"What a cruel method. This murderer must be caught."
After walking out of the underground passage where the corpses of the Li family members were stored, Xing Jue's face was full of anger. His blood was drained before his death. You can imagine how much pain the Li family members suffered before they died. And the people of the Li family suffered a lot.
People are strong and weak, old and young, but they all die in this way, which shows how cruel these murderers are.
"General Zhao, in your opinion, what should we do now?"
Suddenly, Xing Jue turned his attention to General Zhao beside him for help. Because so far, they had not found any clues, so at this moment, Xing Jue could only ask for help from this expert who was good at solving crimes.
"I'll be honest with you, sir, such a brutal way of committing a crime without leaving any traces. This is truly the cruelest and most difficult case I have ever seen in my life. There is nothing I can do about it."
But to Xingjue's surprise, at this moment, even General Zhao, the Xingyun Dynasty's best at solving crimes, was powerless and didn't know what to do.
"Damn it, are we really going to let this heartless murderer go free?"
Seeing this, Xing Jue's fists couldn't help but clenched, and his face was full of unwillingness. At this moment, not to mention that he would be punished by the marshal for this unsolvable case, which would bring disgrace to the emperor. The most important thing is to encounter
Such a cruel thing, even if it has nothing to do with him, Xing Jue will not just sit idly by.
"Sir, actually there are clues, but I don't know if they can help this case." But at this moment, the Shacheng County man who had been silent for a long time suddenly spoke.
"What clue? Tell me quickly!" After hearing his words, Xing Jue and General Zhao asked him almost at the same time.
"While transporting the body of the Li Mansion, we found a young girl in the back garden of the Li Mansion."
"The girl was sleeping in the messy back garden at that time, but she didn't have any injuries on her body. The most important thing is that the girl was not on the list of the Li family." Jian Xingjue asked, this
The county gentleman slowly told the story in a low tone.
(Don’t question the number of chapters I updated. In fact, it’s easy to tell because when I update every day, I mark the chapter number. For example, if I updated three chapters yesterday, I will update five chapters today, and I will update the one chapter that was missing yesterday.
