Chapter 1237: Investigation
As expected, when it was dark, there was a chaotic sound outside, and it seemed that the surrounding residents were all shouting. Du Feng accompanied Xiaohui and also got out of the ruins.
"Something happened in our area last night, now let's take a look at the situation. ”
As soon as the city defense captain who led the team spoke, Du Feng knew that he was okay today. It was clear from the captain's tone that he was not so concerned about the death of the bookstore owner. It may be that there are rules in the city defense department, and the residents who have reached the Ascension Realm have died, and they must be investigated, and to put it bluntly, they must complete an errand and give an explanation to the official.
"I don't know, I don't know anything, I went to bed early last night. ”
"yes, I don't know, I sleep to death. ”
Most people don't want to get into trouble, and even if they hear the sound last night, they pretend not to know, and say that they are asleep.
"Report to Captain Yan, I heard an explosion last night, it seems to be coming from Lao Wang's family. ”
"Yes, Lao Wang died a few nights ago, and his wife died again last night, this matter is too coincidental to be investigated. ”
Most people who don't want to get into trouble, but there are always good things. And among these neighbors, there are still people who are more familiar with Lao Wang. The old king died a few nights ago, and his wife died again last night, and even the house was destroyed. So next, whether the disaster will befall them, everyone is still a little worried.
"Don't get excited, everyone, we're here to investigate this matter. ”
Captain Yan found that things were not as easy to solve as he imagined. I thought that everyone didn't want to get into trouble, so it was okay to bring someone over to deal with it. As the saying goes, the people do not pursue the officials and do not hold them accountable. Now that the common people have been held accountable, the official city defense department has to do something.
"So, let's talk about what you heard and saw last night. ”
After Captain Yan raised this question, everyone began to chat. Some said they didn't hear anything, some said they heard explosions, and they heard screams. But after chatting, no one saw anything. Because when Du Feng came back with Xiaohui, it was already close to the third watch. As a normal resident, he had already honestly hid at home and closed the doors and windows. I'm afraid that a man-eating monster will appear, so where do you dare to come out and see it?
This is exactly what Du Feng is smart, he didn't come back early with Xiaohui. If you go home as soon as it gets dark, you will definitely be followed, and it will inevitably attract the attention of many people at that time. So the night he killed the shopkeeper's subordinates, he came home close to the third watch. And the sky is just the opposite, he, Xiaohui and Qin Siling haven't gone out for a day, so outsiders naturally can't see it.
"My sister is injured and we go out all day. I went to bed early, didn't hear or see anything. ”
When it was time for Xiaohui to answer the question, he immediately covered up the question. The three of them are all at home and haven't gone out, so naturally they won't provoke anyone, and they won't conflict with anyone.
"That's not right, you are the closest to Lao Wang's house, will such a big impact not be affected?"
Another neighbor, Lao Li, questioned and felt that something was wrong. Because the ancestral home of Xiaohui's family is closest to the old Wang family. Although it is now in ruins, it is still the closest household. Lao Wang's house was directly blown up, and the ruins of their house are still in place, which is really unreasonable.
"yes, what's the matter, even the walls of my house have been shaken off. ”
As soon as Lao Li raised his head, Lao Liu immediately jumped out, thinking that his house was relatively close, and the huge explosion sound last night shook the skin of his house and made the skin of his house fall off, and he was really afraid of collapsing at that time.
"I'll explain this!"
Just when everyone pointed the finger at Xiaohui's house, Du Feng walked out slowly. As soon as he appeared, he attracted everyone's attention, because most people didn't know him. Everyone is an old resident of the alley, and the sudden appearance of a stranger is of course the most suspicious.
"Why haven't I seen you before, I think the affairs of the old Wang family have nothing to do with you. ”
"That's right, I also think there's something wrong with this person, he seems to have only come a few days ago. ”
Everyone, you and I said a word, and began to target Du Feng. Someone has indeed seen him come a few days ago, and he just came to the alley when he had an accident.
"Here's the thing......"
Du Feng was not in a hurry, and he didn't care what everyone said, and looked at Captain Yan with his eyes and began to explain the cause and effect of the matter to him. As he spoke, he also took out his Formation Mage Badge and solemnly put it on his chest.
The general course of the incident is that he came to Yundu from the southern capital. I didn't think it was safe to stay in a hostel, so I thought about renting an apartment. As everyone can see, he rented Xiaohui and Qin Siling's house. But because he didn't feel safe enough, he arranged the formation. With the reinforcement of the formation, the ruins will naturally not be destroyed by the shock wave.
In order to confirm his statement, Du Feng also deliberately made a big circle towards the pile of ruins. Sure enough, as he said, the ruins became unusually solid. In fact, all of this was just arranged by Du Feng this morning. The reason why he did this was because he didn't want to expose the real dwelling underground. There are many more enemies to face in the future, and the sooner you reveal your true abode, the more dangerous it becomes.
"Seventh-level formation mage, very good, very good!"
It's such a coincidence, Captain Yan is also a formation mage, but it's a pity that his talent is average. Now seeing that Du Feng's formation is so ingenious, I can't help but feel respect. Lao Li originally wanted to black Du Feng, but now he was dissolved by one of his formations. Moreover, Captain Yan likes to study formations, and the situation in front of him can be said to be clear at a glance.
As a result, after a round of investigation, a bunch of useless information was collected, but there was no result for the death of the bookstore shopkeeper. As for Lao Wang's death, in fact, the city defense department didn't care about it at all, just because of this incident. But a few neighbors around him only cared about Lao Wang's death, and didn't care about the bookstore's shopkeeper.
"This matter will be investigated here for the time being, and if there is a need in the future, I will trouble you again. ”
Captain Yan felt that things were almost confused, so he left with his brothers. Before leaving, he also left a contact information for Du Feng. In fact, as a senior captain, he is also a formation enthusiast, and he knows it very well.
Since Du Feng chose to live in Xiaohui's house, it was definitely not so simple to arrange one in the ruins. If he was in front of so many people today, he couldn't tell everything. So he left a personal transmission note for Du Feng to contact him in the future.
