Chapter 199 Thief

At night, there was chaos on the sea.Several boats surrounded the past, and several lights shot back and forth.More and more people gathered on the coast, all looking at the intersection of lights in the vast night.

Amidst the confusion, Tang Zhao and others saw two bloody people being hanged up by the seaside. They couldn't see the death clearly, but they could vaguely see white paper strips nailed to their bodies.

As for what was written on the note, Tang Zhao and the others were too far away, and the night was dark, so they couldn't really see it.

After a while, Longyuan's people rushed over and began to maintain order, evacuate the crowd, and asked everyone to return to their houses.

Because Tang Zhao and the others were not residents of the human area, they were taken care of by Long Yuan's disciples.Fortunately, Wusuntong and Chesha testified that they were friends, and there was a reason for coming to chat with him at night.Coupled with the fact that Tang Zhao, as the number one in the Heavenly Region, seemed to be able to show his face, he was recognized by Long Yuan's disciples, so he was able to escape temporarily.

Being almost driven back to Tianqu Guest House by disciples of Longyuan, Tang Zhao and Jiang Shenyi looked at each other in blank dismay.

When there was no one around, Jiang Shenyi said in disbelief, "The people from Ironforge died? They just died like this?"

Tang Zhao said: "Yes. There may be troubles later."

With the look just now, it was obvious that the people from Ironforge had an accident when they went out to play at night, and they could only be killed.

A talisman sword master was killed before the talisman meeting, do you want to track down the murderer?
How to track down?First, eyewitness testimonies, suspicious persons present, and then investigation... motive?
Who is motivated?

Zhuoyu Villa has it.

The entanglement four years ago may not be a big deal that everyone knows, but it's not necessarily that everyone knows.At least Tourmaline Villa probably still remembers, how do they know they won't take the initiative to report?Not to mention framing, maybe the other party really thinks he did it?

Of course, those who are cleared will clear themselves. This matter really has nothing to do with them, and there are witnesses to prove it.But all the troubles of investigation in the middle, it may not be said that they have gone through it all.

Tang Zhao even thought about the matter of Jiu Yuan, and it seemed that it was still unresolved. Even the spirit envoys he had been along the way were also thinking carefully.

It was still a dark tide before, but after tonight, I am afraid it will be a stormy sea.

Jiang Shenyi suddenly thought: "Do you think King Xiaoguang is also dead? Just like those two people from Ironforge Castle?"

Tang Zhao pondered, recalling the stories he had heard, and said, "Did you say it was a serial murderer? I don't think so. If it is the same murderer, it should have the same style and the same method. Put it on the sea, and nailed another note, lest people will not know. Then he should not have concealed the murder of King Xiaoguang, and the body should have been announced long ago. Moreover, the motives of the serial murders should be similar or the same, There is something in common between the dead. Is there any historical entanglement between King Xiaoguang and Ironforge?"

King Xiaoguang came from Beihai, thousands of miles away, not even the land of China.And Ironforge is a wandering sect, it's hard to say where it belongs to.It is said that the castle of Ironforge is like a huge iron cart, cruising the land of Kyushu, rarely stopping in one place.The two sides can't say that there must be no intersection, but I haven't heard of any friendship between Ironforge and Yuanji Palace.Just based on fantasy, it is hard to think of anyone who would single out these two parties for serial killing.

Of course, if it is not a specific murder, it is another matter.

Jiang Shenyi thought of another thing, and said: "It is also possible that King Xiaoguang killed them? Now that King Xiaoguang has disappeared, how do you know that he is hiding in the dark and killing them?"

It also makes sense.

However, Tang Zhao has heard too many reasoning stories, and always feels that if he disappears from the beginning, the person identified as the murderer candidate is unlikely to be the real murderer, and he should be really dead from the beginning.

Of course stories are stories and facts are facts.Facts don't follow the same set of rules as in stories.

Tang Zhao thought of something: "It seems that the person in Ironforge has a note nailed to his body? It would be great if he could know what was written. It should have something to do with the motivation."

Jiang Shen Yihun said indifferently: "I will know tomorrow, and everyone will know about this kind of thing. There were so many people at that time, someone must have seen it, and then couldn't help but tell others. Long Yuan can't hold it down at all. Tomorrow Everyone knows it in the morning. By the way, let you guess, what do you think is written on that note?"

Tang Zhaodao: "If you think about the scariest thing, it's 'the one who leaves the island will die'."

……

Jiang Shenyi got goosebumps.

Fortunately, Tang Zhao’s speculation that knowledge from the novel did not come true.

Early the next morning, what happened last night really caused a stir in the city, and everyone knew the words on the note.

There is only one word, which is "thief".

A thief word, caused a lot of associations.But anyway, it shows that this is a personal grudge killing, not a random and indiscriminate killing, so other people are not so afraid.Then some people speculated that the people in Ironforge must have taken other people's things and were taught a lesson by others.It can only be said that they have no winks, and the killers are also bold, even if they are thieves, this is Jianzhou, which is Longyuan's territory, how can they kill people directly?

Tang Zhao also met other people who were also talking about this matter, and they chatted for a few words. Some straightforward people like Yun Xiyan said that this is not surprising, and there are similar bastards in the Labyrinth City. up.It can be seen that there are still some bold and bold people, even if they want to be domineering, no one can do anything.

There are conspiracy theorists such as Mo Ganfeng's Chu Shanxia. Although he didn't say it directly, he suspected that Long Yuan himself did it, based on the word "thief", and said: "Don't you all know that the iron furnace The history of the castle? Check it out and you will know who is qualified to say that Ironforge is a thief."

The most surprising thing was that after he finished speaking, Wu Yunfei nodded his head, even Zhuge Yudan, who was usually calm and calm, thought about it.It made Tang Zhao really want to check the history of Ironforge.

Do you want to go to Longyuan's Library Pavilion to check?

But no matter what, Tang Zhao still didn't believe that Long Yuan would openly kill people of small powers on his own territory. If he wanted to kill people who couldn't be killed, he had to make people panic here?It's not like a pure lunatic like Yi Zhixin, who has the meaning of intimidation in it, and is more likely to be the mastermind behind the scenes.

Long Yuan probably thought the same way, they enforced martial law, restricting everyone to each district and not to move around.Among them, the crowded area is the strictest, because there are many people and few lands, it is very complicated, and everyone is only allowed to stay in the house without going out.At any rate, the sky area can still walk around in the area.

Although additional manpower was sent to investigate strictly, Long Yuan couldn't go too far.Because they are just hosts, not the government, not even the only big power, many big powers and even middle powers may not obey him.Even if it is a small force, if you offend too much and people will slander you when you go out, this talisman meeting will be in vain.

Even now, Long Yuan is still preparing to hold a successful talisman meeting, and his original intention has never changed.

Therefore, while stepping up the investigation, Long Yuan hurriedly arranged for everyone to pick up the souvenirs.However, for the sake of safety, most of them have obtained a list first, and can only go to the designated place to pick it up after selection.

The reason why I say most of them is that the winners of the sky zone will have preferential treatment, and they can go to the warehouse to see souvenirs that are not convenient to leave on paper.

At noon that day, Qi Yuheng came to Tang Zhao's place and took him to the warehouse in Jianzhou.

"I don't know how brother Tang prepared?"

Qi Yuheng asked with a smile as soon as they met.

For some reason, Tang Zhao felt that his attitude was much better than yesterday, and his smile was very kind.

Tang Zhao said with a little guilty conscience: "I was about to explain to the chief. I had half a dream last night, and I heard my brother say that the talisman would be postponed for a day. I couldn't help but feel slack. I didn't finish it overnight. I plan to write the article today. At the end, I don’t know if it’s a mistake?”

Qi Yuheng smiled and said, "It's okay—it's a matter of course. It's a good thing to have more time and more preparations. As long as Brother Tang gives me a word, can we finish it tomorrow?"

Tang Zhao said firmly, "Of course."

Qi Yuheng breathed a sigh of relief, and said, "Since that's the case, I'll leave it to Brother Tang. Now we're short on manpower, and we can't even get someone to review the manuscript, let alone revise it. We can only ask Brother Tang to do his best."

The two came to the souvenir building one after another. This place is a dragon-shaped corridor. From the beginning to the end, it is full of scales and claws, and the end is lifelike, like a crouching dragon in the field.Tang Zhao sighed in admiration, and Qi Yuheng led him in from the tail and went straight to the head.

"From the outside to the inside, the souvenirs are getting better and better. The goods on the tail side are very ordinary, and they are all prepared for people who have never been on the road to Jianzhou. You can take whatever you want. But the good things are in the head You can choose three of them."

As the first name, Tang Zhao can take three souvenirs.These three refer to the highest gifts.As for the ordinary souvenirs that are not worth much, they can be added if he wants.

There are three common souvenirs, Longwei, Dragon Yin and Dragon Scale.

……

Yes, it is the three materials produced by Longyuan. Considering that they have been closed for a hundred years, none of these things have been leaked out, it is really piled up like a mountain.Isn't it small to have one of the hundreds of people present?
Seeing this, Tang Zhao remembered that he still had a magic weapon sword in his hand.It's the one pulled from the old abyss.That is a magic weapon to release Longwei, which can be regarded as controlling and useful.But Tang Zhao was not satisfied, he planned to find an opportunity to visit Longyeon, and then receive a sword manual, so that he can use the imitation.

Dragon tooth sword, the sword of Zhenyuan, should be very strong, right?
Skimming the negligible souvenirs, the treasures in front are a little valuable, and the ones that go on are even more precious, until the most precious treasures are placed at the very front.

Qi Yuheng stopped in the second half, he was not in charge of leading the way and introducing materials, it was up to the sword master to choose with his own eyesight.Even if he really wanted to sell Tang Zhao a favor, he couldn't take the initiative to speak.If Tang Zhao is hesitant, he doesn't mind giving a hint, but it is impossible to introduce cabinet by cabinet like a tour guide or shopping guide, asking "Do you want to buy it?".

Tang Zhao put on his glasses and walked through the corridor. Although he didn't need to look left and right, every souvenir was recorded clearly.He knows what he wants.

The material of the sword body, and...

Tang Zhao stopped, and there was a piece of soil in front of him.
