CHAPTER XXXIII
Excellence looked at the entire room and found no signs of the second person, and it seems that the killer had cleaned up the traces. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
"There are no other traces here, it seems that this clue is broken, what should we do next?. He Qi also looked around, but found no traces or breath of other people.
"Can Boss Zheng determine the identity of this person?" asked Zhuo Zhuo, pointing to the corpse.
"I've met this man twice, but I don't know who he is. Boss Zheng carefully looked at the deceased's face and replied.
"It's better to wait for the four seas to find out the identity of this person, and then let's talk about what to do next!" Before determining the identity of this person, Excellence had no way to analyze it further.
"I'll let Lei Kun investigate. With that, He Qi went to contact Lei Kun.
In the evening, on the third floor of the Four Seas Restaurant, there were only three people in the room: He Qi and Lei Kun.
Excellence was the first to ask, "What is the identity of that deceased?"
"He is a small material merchant in the west of the city, his main job is to collect some materials from the scattered cultivators at a low price, and then sell them to the upper family, Tian Guang is his old customer, often sell him materials, so the relationship between the two is quite familiar. Lei Kun replied, "This person has only come to Sihai City in the last few years to operate, but when he collects materials, the price is more realistic, so many casual cultivators are willing to trade with him." ”
"Where's his family?" asked Zhuo Zhuo again.
"Ye family!" Lei Kun replied.
There are too many traders who help the Ye family buy materials, and this person is just one of the more ordinary ones, if there is no more important evidence, He Qi and they will not be able to go to the Ye family to ask.
After thinking for a while, Zhuo Zhuo asked, "How many other missing people have anything to do with him?"
Lei Kun quickly looked through the information of those missing people, and finally replied: "There are also seventeen people who have a relatively close trading relationship with him. ”
"So many?" exclaimed Excellence.
"There are more than 60 casual cultivators who have a fixed cooperative relationship with him alone, and there are more than 300 casual cultivators who often trade with him and have a foundation of trust like Tian Guang. The disappearance of eighteen people among so many people does not arouse suspicion at all, especially when it refers to the fact that during this period of time, the evil way wantonly killed outside the city, and a large number of scattered cultivators who went out died, and only a dozen people were missing, which would not attract attention. Lei Kun explained.
"Then you can check the other material dealers, focusing on those who have a closer trading relationship with those who are missing. Go!" He Qi then ordered.
After Lei Kun left, Zhuo Zhuo spoke: "How is the situation over there, have you found anything?"
"There was a discovery, but it wasn't as good as expected. He Qi replied happily.
"Did you really find it?" asked Excellence, a little surprised.
"If you only find a stronghold, it shouldn't be their lair. He Qikai replied.
"Whose house is that stronghold?" asked Excellence again. If you can determine which house belongs to, it will be of great help to determine the mole.
"Ownerless, the owner of the house is sure to be dead in the swampy jungle. "It's a pity that the mastermind behind the scenes is not exposed here, the house is very clean, and there is certainly nothing useful to be found in this regard.
"How did you find out?" Excellence pulled the question back to the evil cult lurking in this stronghold. If you can find a breakthrough from this group of evil ways, even if you can't find out the traitors, it would be good to sweep away the nests of evil ways lurking in Sihai City.
"There are indeed evil people lurking at the scene this afternoon, and just as we entered Tian Guang's small courtyard, one person quietly left for a while. He Qi began to tell the story of this tracking,
"Thankfully, we had arranged for our men to follow him down the other street, where he connected with another person, got the word out, and then returned to the scene. We followed the man again, and finally came to a small courtyard three blocks away. ”
"But he never came out after he went in, our people have been watching that small courtyard, no one has ever come out, and the killer who killed people did not go out of that small courtyard. They must have used some kind of magic weapon to send the news directly to another stronghold. ”
"Is that stronghold big?" asked Excellence again.
"Not small! Five people went in this afternoon and evening, and none of them came out yet, and there should be more than ten people inside. And there must be a leader, otherwise there wouldn't be so many evil ways coming back here. He Qi then asked, "Do we continue to monitor and wait for this stronghold to contact their lair, and then follow the vine, or do we just arrest people and force us to ask for what we want." ”
"Let's arrest people directly! lest the night be long and dreamy, but you can't go with great fanfare, it's not good to startle the snake. "Excellence weighed it and felt that it was better to catch people directly.
Since you have to know the strength of the other party if you want to arrest people directly, you have to know the strength of the other party, so you asked again. "How is that leader's cultivation, have you found out?"
He Qi shook his head and said, "No, that leader has never been out of the courtyard, and our people can't find out about his cultivation." However, its cultivation should not be in the foundation building period, and now there are foundation building period monks patrolling the city every day in Sihai City, and that small courtyard is just on the patrol route of a foundation building elder in our family, if there are foundation building monks in it, they will definitely not be able to escape our reconnaissance. ”
"It's good if there are no foundation building monks, it's enough for the two of us to make a move. "I am sure that there is no foundation building monk excellence, I am a lot more relieved, and against a group of monks in the Qi cultivation period, the two of them are still sure to wipe them out quietly.
"Then the two of us will go and let the Four Seas Society investigate those material vendors and attract the attention of the evil ways and the traitors. He Qi agreed.
"There is no moon today, so it is good to hide, and we will go in the early morning. "Going early in the morning is the least noticeable.
............
Ling Chen, Zhuo Zhuo and He Qi changed into black clothes and set off, and the two of them sneaked all the way, using Xiao Hei's perception to reconnoiter and avoid the eyes and ears of the evil path that might exist.
Soon the two of them came to this small courtyard, and Zhuo Zhuo first used the 'silent enchantment' to envelop the entire small courtyard, and the 'silent enchantment' can not only make the people inside unable to hear the sound outside, but also prevent the sound inside from coming out.
Then He Qi also urged the magic weapon to block out the warning circle set up by the other party on the periphery, allowing the two to sneak in quietly.
After entering the small courtyard, Zhuo Zhuo immediately used his thermal vision to reconnoitre, and found that in this small courtyard, which only had two entrances, there were more evil ways hidden than expected, there were twenty-eight people, three of whom were in the cellar, twenty were resting in the room, and five were hiding in all corners of the small courtyard as secret sentinels.
Fortunately, the two of them deliberately chose a dark corner to come in, just to avoid the eyes of the dark sentinel, and were not discovered.
This small courtyard is also full of vigilant formations, and it is really not easy to take down these people quietly.
When Excellence was worried, He Qi pulled Excellence, Excellence turned his head and found that He Qi was taking out one formation plate after another, and then began to set up the formation.
A quarter of an hour later, He Qi's formation was ready, and then he carefully injected spiritual power to activate the formation, and after the formation was fully activated, He Qi made an offensive gesture. The two of them walked out of the shadows in an instant, silently killing the five dark sentinels, during which all the vigilance formations were not triggered.
"Brother He, what ......is your formation?" asked after solving the dark whistle.
"This is a set of shielding arrays, after the formation is unfolded, within a radius of ten zhang, the alert arrays with a lower level than this set of arrays cannot be triggered, so all the alert formations here cannot be triggered, now hurry up and act quickly." Heqi explained.
"Kill the rest of the people in the house first, and then deal with the three in the cellar, and their leader should be one of the three. With that, he walked towards the room on the right.
He Qi nodded and headed to the left.
Three minutes later, the two met at the entrance of the cellar. If it weren't for the fact that they didn't make any movement as much as possible, so as not to alarm the three people in the basement, these Qi cultivation monks would have been able to solve it without a few dozen breaths.
