Kill the Demon King from the Demon Slayer Dungeon

Chapter 12 The third dragon wakes up, killing intent

As soon as a faint whiteness appeared on the eastern horizon, Jiang Nan got up.

Dress neatly, push open the door, and a gust of fresh air with the smell of earth rushes in.

The rain last night stopped in the middle of the night.

Except for the flower beds and bamboo groves, the green bamboo house is paved with thick bluestone floors without soil.

Apart from a little stagnant water, it was clean and dry.

Therefore, there is no muddy place that cannot be plugged in.

Jiang Nan practiced swordsmanship and read books as usual.

Li Ze bought breakfast from outside.

"No news yet?"

Jiang Nan asked.

Li Ze shook his head, looking worried.

Jiang Nan felt a little heavy in his heart.

Li Lu hasn't heard anything from last night until now.

This is not the harmonious society of the previous life.

This world is very dangerous.

Not to mention that human life is worthless, the imperial bureaucracy is very indifferent to life.

Moreover, in addition to humans, there are also demons.

It's normal to die.

A girl has not seen anyone since last night, even if this is Kyoto, it is likely to be a bad luck.

"Did you report the crime?" Jiang Nan asked.

"Not yet." Li Ze shook his head, "The government office hasn't gone to work yet, but Brother Zhou just passed by."

Jiang Nan nodded.

After breakfast, Zhou Qing came back.

"Young master, the case has been reported, and the government will send people to investigate." Zhou Qing clasped his fists and said.

Jiang Nan looked serious, nodded and said: "For such a big man, it is impossible to say that he is gone. The government sent people to investigate, and we have to investigate. You go back to my grandfather's side and ask the general's mansion to transfer some Manpower, find someone as soon as possible."

All I need to say is that you need to see people when you live, and you need to see corpses when you die.

Zhou Qing said: "Yes, young master."

……

The sun is westward.

Jiang Nan's speed of killing demons today is much faster than yesterday, so he gets off work earlier than usual.

As soon as he got out of Demon Slayer, he saw the carriage parked not far away.

Both Li Ze and Zhou Qing stood beside the carriage.

Jiang Nan walked over and saw Li Ze's eyes were red.

My heart suddenly sank.

Before Jiang Nan could ask, Li Ze choked up and said, "Master, my sister is dead."

As he spoke, tears came down.

Although he had expected it, Jiang Nan couldn't help but feel a twitch when he heard the bad news.

But with a calm face, he asked, "How did he die? Where is he?"

Zhou Qingdao: "It was found in a mass grave outside the city. The cause of death was preliminarily judged to be suicide. It is now parked in the government morgue."

Mass grave outside the city?
Jiang Nan narrowed her eyes slightly.

Obviously, this is a man-made corpse.

It can never be as simple as suicide.

Without going home, the carriage went directly to the government office.

The inner city of Kyoto Prefecture.

Being degraded by the emperor as a commoner, although he cannot live in the inner city, it is still no problem to come to the inner city.

And it happened for a reason.

When he came to the government office, Governor Yu Zhicheng personally received him.

Then he asked the chief arrester, Xing Jiu, to take him to the morgue to identify the body.

Xing Jiu stretched out his hand and said, "Young Master Jiang, please."

Jiang Nan thanked Yu Zhicheng, and the three followed Xing Jiu to the morgue behind.

In the morgue, Jiang Nan and the others saw Li Lu.

"sister--"

When Li Ze saw the familiar face that he had depended on since he was a child, he collapsed on the spot, wept loudly, and trembled all over his body.

Jiang Nan felt a sudden pain in his heart.

The girl who was still lively yesterday was lying on the cold mortuary board, separated forever.

But this place is not a place of grief and mourning. Jiang Nan forcibly restrained his sadness and looked carefully.

Li Lu's clothes were stained with blood, and there was a lot of dirt on her hair.

With her eyes closed tightly, her pale face was still terrified, and her whole body was wet.

The most eye-catching thing is the jade hairpin on the chest.

It was deeply inserted into her chest, only a faintly red hairpin was exposed.

Apparently a lot of force was used.

"Someone came to the Yamen to report this morning, saying that they saw a fresh female corpse in the mass grave in the south of the city. We thought that Zhou's guard would come to report this morning, so we immediately took people there."

Xing Jiu said.

"When we found her, the upper part of her body was wrapped in black cloth, and there were no footprints around. It may be because of the heavy rain last night. The rain washed the soil and exposed her body.

According to the inspection, there were traces of binding on her wrists and body, and her virginity was intact and had not been violated.

There were two wounds on her body, both on her chest, and each wound went straight to the depths of her heart.

According to the angle at which the hosta was pierced, we deduce that she died of suicide.

In other words, she had inserted this hosta into her chest by herself, and stabbed it twice in a row.

Every time it stabs deeply.

It's a one hit kill.

Obviously, she was determined to die.

In addition, this jade hairpin is very valuable, the market price is at least three taels of silver, but it has not been taken away.

It can be seen that the other party either doesn't like this jade hairpin, which shows that the other party's wealth is rich; or he left it on purpose to tell others that he committed suicide.

Of course, there is another kind of thinking that it is a murder weapon, and it is an ominous one, so I didn't move it. "

Jiang Nan listened to Xing Jiu's introduction with a gloomy expression.

He gently pulled off Li Lu's clothes, and when he saw the hideous wound on his chest, his heart ached again.

It's really hard to start!
It was hard for him to imagine what kind of situation would force Li Lu to be so cruel to him.

"Do you know the murderer?" Jiang Nan asked, with a murderous look in his tone.

Li Lu's death seemed simple, but he thought of more.

There are so many dignitaries in the capital, but the one who died was his maid, a worthless son.

If he said that no one deliberately targeted him, he didn't believe it at all.

Reminiscent of the recent events, Jiang Nan felt that Li Lu's death was by no means accidental.

"Still investigating." Xing Jiu said.

Jiang Nan nodded, and carefully arranged Li Lu's clothes and her hair.

He took a deep look at her, turned around and said, "Let's go."

The case has not been closed yet, and the body cannot be taken away for the time being.

Li Ze looked at his sister's body, his body trembled, and he clenched his hands tightly.

His knuckles were white from the tight grip.

"Let's go."

He was forcibly pulled by Zhou Qing, and they walked out together.

Leaving the yamen, Jiang Nan turned to Zhou Qing and said in a cold tone: "Mobilize everyone to investigate, and I will know the exact news by tonight at the latest!"

The government office is also looking for the murderer, but he can't wait.

"Yes, sir."

Zhou Qing cupped his fists.

Although because Jiang Nan was demoted to a commoner by the emperor, there is basically no one in Prince Yong's Mansion except for the necessary guards, but since the young master of Prince Yong's Mansion wants to investigate, the General's Mansion will definitely support it with all its strength.

With so many experts investigating the cause of a maid's death, it shouldn't be a big problem.

When he got home, Jiang Nan locked himself in the house.

Sitting on the chair, Jiang Nan looked sternly.

He knew from the inexplicable appearance of his predecessor in the palace prison that this was a conspiracy.

What caused him to be involved in this conspiracy is so far unknown.

He felt a huge black hand enveloping him.

He needs to find out the truth of the matter.

But after awakening Goldfinger in the dungeon, he was not as anxious about finding the truth as he was at the beginning.

Rather than looking for the reason and the truth, it is better to hide in the dungeon and improve your strength now.

As long as the strength is improved, no amount of conspiracy will be of use.

However, the tree wants to be still but the wind does not stop.

Only a few days later, his maid Li Lu died unexpectedly.

Li Lu was in her prime, young and beautiful, her death may have been an accident.

But it cannot be ruled out that it was a warning or a temptation from the black hand in the darkness.

No matter which one it is, the target seems to be pointing at him intentionally or unintentionally.

Or point to the Jiang family.

As for why, he still doesn't know for the time being.

The water in Kyoto is too deep...

Jiang Nan's eyes were cold, and then he let out a sigh of relief.

"Since it's very deep, why don't we just muddy the pool of water!"

"Perhaps only by muddying the water, some fish hidden deep in the dark can jump out by themselves..."

Whether it works or not.

Even if it was to seek justice for Li Lu, he was prepared to do so.

After making a decision, Jiang Nan calmed down.

The mind enters the three-color tree space.

A light red fruit ripens again.

Take it off.

Swallow it in one gulp - "Ancestral Dragon Opens Heaven" is running...

roar~
The third flood dragon wakes up.

A tyrannical force surged through the whole body, and the god-monster body erupted with tyrannical force.

Thirty thousand catties of great force!
Leave the house and enter the backyard to practice swords.

What is different from the past is that this time when practicing swords, the murderous aura is overwhelming.

Under this murderous aura, his comprehension of "Shadowless Sword Art" rapidly improved...

The sword is shining, five swords in one blow...six swords in one blow...seven swords in one blow!

Seven cuts!
This practice was practiced until the sunset.

Zhou Qing is back.

At the gate of the courtyard, Zhou Qing looked at Jiang Nan, who was exuding masculinity and sweating all over his face, with a solemn expression, and clasped his fists and said, "Master, the murderer has been found."

This time, the General's Mansion dispatched more than 100 expert guards, which shocked the entire capital.

According to various reports, the murderer was found in just two hours.

This efficiency is not high.

"who is it?"

Jiang Nan stopped, raised his knife and asked.

"Zhou Tingyu, the second son of the left servant of the Ministry of Officials."

Zhou Qing said.

"The son of the left servant of the official department..." Jiang Nan narrowed his eyes slightly, and a dangerous look flashed in his eyes, "Why?"

Zhou Qing said briefly: "Someone tied up Li Lu as his maid and gave it to Zhou Tingyu. Zhou Tingyu wanted to force her, but Li Lu was stubborn and committed suicide. Zhou Tingyu has already admitted this, and he is willing to compensate—"

"Compensation?" Jiang Nan sneered, "I will make him compensate!!!"

It's not as simple as making compensation for his Li's death.

Whether he was forced to death or killed, he was not going to let this Zhou Tingyu live.

"Then what is Zhou Tingyu's cultivation?"

Li Lu is not an ordinary person with no cultivation.

Although her aptitude is not good, she is also a martial artist in the body training state.

If there is not much difference in strength, there is no need for Li Lu to be forced to commit suicide when she can move her hands and feet.

It can be seen that Zhou Tingyu's strength must have surpassed Li Lu's by a lot.

Sure enough, Zhou Qing said: "He is the eighth heaven of Kaiyuan Realm."

Jiang Nan nodded slightly, but her face didn't change much.

Then he stopped asking Zhou Tingyu's question, but asked: "Do you know who kidnapped Li Lu?"

"According to Zhou Tingyu, it was a man named Cao Jing and a man named Xu Chuliang. Among them, Cao Jing claimed that he had a very beautiful maid to give to him, and the purpose was to make friends with him."

Zhou Qing said.

"But according to the investigation, there were no such people at all.

Obviously, either Zhou Tingyu was lying, or the other party was probably a pseudonym.

But judging from the results of the investigation at the Jiaofang Division, Zhou Tingyu didn't talk enough. There were indeed two people drinking with Zhou Tingyu at that time.

Now it seems that these two people have either gone into hiding or have left the capital. There is no news about this yet. "

"Continue to investigate these two people!"

Jiang Nan said, his eyes sharp.

"If you have any news, let me know as soon as possible."

He didn't ask how to investigate Zhou Tingyu, these are not important for the time being, what matters is the result.

While speaking, he threw the long knife casually, and the long knife in his hand turned into a graceful arc, and accurately inserted into the distant knife holder.

Zheng~
The blade trembled endlessly and shone with a cold light.
