Xuantian Law Envoy

Chapter 130 New Enmity, Old Enmity

"Secondly, from the way the three corpses were dismembered."

"This person did not use spells or imperial objects to dismember the corpse, but held a weapon to dismember the corpse. Judging from the texture on the corpse fragments, it should be the right hand."

"Judging from the proficiency of the technique, this person is very familiar with the structure of the human body. He may be a doctor or a poisoner."

"Of course it could be a pervert."

"Thirdly, as I said before, the method of this person's killing may be a mind-soul attack, but I don't think it can be judged directly like this."

Seeing that Ye Hongliu seemed suspicious, Xu Qing smiled and said, "You forgot one most basic thing, he still lost his head."

Ye Hongliu was startled for a moment, and then suddenly said: "Yes, yes, maybe the murderer directly chopped off his head and caused the death of the person."

"Hey, I'm on the edge of a dead end."

She smiled awkwardly.

Xu Qing laughed out loud.

Everyone smiled slightly.

The atmosphere is good.

At least, Li Chengfeng who was sitting on the side didn't see any nervous expression.

"At least for now, without the head, we cannot determine the method of killing."

"Okay, let's put aside the murder method for now, let's see where the corpse is thrown."

"The other party dared to kill people and throw corpses in Yingyue City, so it was clear that they were demonstrating and provoking against the Moon City, or Gu Yuezong."

"As for the three places where the corpses were thrown, one is a ruined temple in the north of the city."

"One is the outskirts in the south of the city. I remember this place was an urban area before, right?"

Xu Qing looked at the guards of Yingyue City and the monks in the yamen.

Everyone nodded.

One of them, a frail young man named Ye Wusheng, got up and pointed to the third dumping point marked on the map and said:

"That's right, this used to be a Sanxiufang city. A fire 50 years ago completely burned it down, and it hasn't been rebuilt since then."

"The cause of the fire?" Xu Qing asked.

The man quickly flipped through the file in hand: "The reason is unknown."

At this moment, Xu Qing caught the hesitant expression of another monk from the Yamen of Yingyue City: "Say, don't hide it."

The man hurriedly said: "It was rumored back then that the reason why this square city was destroyed by fire was because someone set it on fire."

"Someone set fire, what's the specific reason?"

Xu Qing asked again.

The cultivator hurriedly said: "This is just a rumor in the market. It is said that there seems to be a conflict in the market. Some elders of the Gu Yue Sect were unfair and took away the casual cultivators."

In the end, he gradually lost his voice.

The monk on the side quickly poked his arm, signaling him not to continue.

Li Chengfeng's eyes lit up at the side.

He slapped the table and said excitedly: "Continue, who is that elder? What's his name? What is it, tell me!"

However, the cultivators kept their mouths shut.

Looking at each other, no one wants to be this early bird.

Speaking ill of the elder Gu Yuezong in front of the monks of Gu Yuezong, and it is very likely that it is someone's master present here.

This man is so stupid that he has no winks.

Xu Qing waved his hand to signal Li Chengfeng not to get excited: "Okay, sit down and talk."

Then he looked at everyone: "I know everyone has concerns in their hearts, but in order to solve the case, it is better to say these things."

"Besides, if any elder really has a problem, we, as the Hall of Law Enforcement, will naturally deal with it."

"We only discuss the facts and analyze the intelligence without mixing any personal emotions into it."

Sure enough, the frail Ye Wusheng said again: "According to rumors, that elder should be the Great Elder Han Jing who passed away a year ago."

Xu Qing suddenly showed a dazed expression.

It turned out to be him, so it was understandable.

However, Ye Hongliu and Zhang Han seem to be unclear about Han Jing's behavior.

Regarding this point, he suddenly frowned.

"Well, I know about this matter, so is there any detailed record about the dispute that happened that year?"

Xu Qing didn't care, she looked at Ye Momo and asked.

Everyone shook their heads, but Xu Qing didn't feel disappointed either.

Because most of these rumors do not leave any detailed information.

"So, the arsonist may have burned Fangshi out of hatred, so is it possible that this serial killer is the arsonist who holds a grudge?"

Li Chengfeng's eyes lit up.

Xu Qing shook his head: "This is obviously unreasonable. After all, for the next 50 years, that person and Gu Yuezong have been living in peace. Why did it suddenly explode today?"

Everyone nodded and felt that what he said made sense.

Li Chengfeng was immediately disappointed.

Well, he's not good at this.

"Okay, let's put this matter aside for now, then let's talk about the third place where the corpses are dumped—Guyue Garden in the center of Yingyue City."

"This is the garden ruins left by the ancient monks."

"It has always been the iconic landscape of Yingyue City."

"Whether it is day or night, there will be tourists staying here, but no one has seen anyone throwing the body."

"When is there no one in the whole Gu Yue Garden?"

"Only Yinshi. At this time, ordinary people are resting, and practitioners are also resting."

"The other party is obviously sensible and doesn't want to be seen."

"Then based on the above information and the degree of decay of the corpses, we can make an inference about the sequence of where the corpses were dumped."

"The first corpse dumping site is in a ruined temple on the outskirts of the city, the farthest from the center of Yingyue City."

"The second corpse throwing site is in the ruins in the south of the city, which is already inside Yingyue City."

"And the third place where the body is dumped is Gu Yue Garden in the center of the city."

"That is to say, every time the murderer dumps his body, he will get closer and closer to the center of the city."

"From this, it can be inferred that the murderer's mentality, his/her mentality becomes stronger and stronger with the continuous killing."

"The meaning of provocation against Gu Yuezong is becoming clearer and clearer."

"It can be seen from the selection of these several locations that the murderer is constantly growing, and the methods of killing and throwing corpses are also constantly improving."

"It shows that this person is not only bold, but also calm and rational."

"To be able to kill with one blow without leaving any traces, this person's strength is at least in the middle stage of Jindan."

"I'm talking about strength, not cultivation."

"Similarly, this can also be inferred from the identities of the three bodies."

"The ruined temple in the north of the city, the person who died was an outer disciple of the Ancient Moon Sect, a monk in the late foundation establishment period, female, the exact identity is uncertain."

"Also check the soul lamp."

"In the ruins of the wasteland in the south of the city, the one who died was a disciple in Tsing Yi from the Hall of Law Enforcement. He completed the foundation establishment and was a male. He also needs to check the soul lamp."

"In the ancient moon garden in the city, the person who died was a patrol envoy of the yamen of Yingyue City. At the early stage of Jindan, male, Liu Duankong, 82 years old."

"This can also be judged from the degree of decomposition of the corpse."

"That is to say, we roughly determined the order in which he/she killed the three people, but then the problem came."

Xu Qing looked at Zhang Han and asked, "I know that disciples of the sect have Gu Yue's seal to identify them."

"Then how did you determine the identity of the No.3 deceased, that is, the patrol envoy of Yingyue City?"

"I didn't see anything related to clothing or identity at the scene, only fragments of the body."

Zhang Han hurriedly said: "From the attribute of spiritual power, this patrol envoy named Liu Duankong is a rare wood spirit body, and he is the only one in Yingyue City that fits this point."

"He has been missing for a day, and he should be on duty today."

Xu Qing nodded, and then asked a question: "Then, why is the cultivation of an outer disciple of Gu Yuezong and a disciple of Tsing Yi from the Hall of Law Enforcement in the foundation building stage?"

"In the late stage of foundation establishment, the foundation establishment is complete."

"Tsk tsk, the inner disciples and the purple clothes of the Law Enforcement Hall are nothing more than that."

Zhang Han quickly said: "Yes, this is exactly what we are puzzled about."

"It's understandable if a person hides his cultivation."

"However, if both of them hide their cultivation, and there is such a big gap from the real cultivation they should have, it would be a bit weird."

Everyone nodded one after another, all with puzzled faces.

Xu Qing pondered for a while, then suddenly said slowly: "This can only explain one thing, the spiritual power in their bodies is strange."

"How to say?" Li Chengfeng, who had been listening in, finally became interested.

"Based on the remaining aura in the flesh and blood to deduce its cultivation, this is the traditional practice of the Hall of Law Enforcement."

"Because the amount of spiritual energy distributed in the body of monks with different cultivation levels is different, and the quality is also different."

"But if they are dying, the aura in their bodies has changed."

"For example, taking some kind of elixir that can greatly improve the quality and purity of spiritual power?"

"In this way, the cultivation base obtained by still using this set of reverse deduction methods will not be accurate."

Everyone nodded suddenly.

"It makes sense! Why didn't I think of it!" Ye Hongliu said excitedly.

Li Chengfeng said speechlessly: "Even if we know this, what can we do? It won't help us find the murderer."

"Hey!" Xu Qing waved his hands and smiled, "That's not necessarily the case. The murderer we guessed just now killed people because of his enmity with Gu Yuezong."

"But what if he didn't kill people because of his old enmity with Gu Yuezong?"

"It's because of benefits." Xu Qing pointed to the corpse, "For example, this kind of elixir that can greatly increase the quality and quantity of spiritual power in the body."

"The uneven distribution of benefits is the new enemy."

Zhang Han suddenly slapped the table and stood up excitedly: "That's right! We've been looking for people with old enemies to track down."

"But if you change your mind, the other party just kills because of a dispute over interests?"

"Then, can we find out whether there are such types of high-quality pills sold in all the Pill Pavilions in Yingyue City recently?"

Ye Hongliu followed closely: "Or, find out if there are any treasures such as caves, ancient ruins, and ancient monks' caves near Yingyue City recently."

Ye Wusheng also nodded, his slightly pale cheeks flushed slightly: "That's right, maybe they just carried out a team exploration, but they killed people because of the uneven distribution of spoils?"

"Then the reason why he chose such a place to throw the corpse is to disturb our thinking, give us wrong guidance, and make us think that the old enemy is looking for us!"

Xu Qing nodded with a smile and said, "Look, in this way, has your mind opened up?"

Everyone got excited.

"Senior brother is really amazing! Just mentioning a few words opened our minds."

Zhang Han quickly praised.

Li Chengfeng on the side rolled his eyes, this flattery came too timely.

When did this kid become so good at flattering?

"However." Seeing everyone's excitement, Xu Qing couldn't help pouring cold water on them.

"However, the above are just my guesses. It's possible, but not absolute. So we have to consider both possibilities."

"So we have two parts to investigate, one part to investigate new hatred, and the other part to investigate old hatred."

"Understood!" Everyone nodded.

Xu Qing glanced at everyone: "Well, Zhang Han, you and Xiaoye go to check the files of the Law Enforcement Hall and the City Lord's Mansion to find old grudges."

"At the same time, check the soul lamps of the disciples in the sect to determine the specific identities of these two Gu Yuezong disciples."

"Junior Brother Ye, take someone to check the Pill Pavilion in the city and some news about the city."

"Focus on whether there are any treasures near Yingyue City recently."

"Or is there any monks who form a group together to explore the treasure hunt?"

"Your Yingyue City guards and yamen should be more familiar with this point."

"As for the manpower you bring, you allocate it yourself."

"I know this!" Ye Wusheng nodded silently, "We also often take on similar tasks or form teams."

"I know all the places in Yingyue City where these missions may be issued or monks may be organized."

Xu Qing nodded in satisfaction: "Okay, let's move on. We will send people back to report and update the information every hour."

"it is good!"

Li Chengfeng quickly asked: "Then what are we two doing?"

Xu Qing thought for a while, then smiled at Li Chengfeng and said, "We can check the corpse while waiting for them."

"Autopsy? Here?"

Li Chengfeng scratched his head, but he was fine, why not do an autopsy.

Maybe we can find new clues, solve the case earlier, and go back to practice.

Just do it.

The two began to re-examine and organize the three bodies on the spot.

until midnight.

The two teams all returned, each bringing back the latest news.

Ye Hongliu was the first to say: "The identities of the two sect disciples have been clarified."

Xu Qing said lightly: "Say."

"Outer sect disciple Chen Yu, female, 39 years old, perfect in Qi refining."

"Tsing Yi disciple of the Hall of Law Enforcement, Wang Chang, male, 27 years old, has completed Qi refining and is about to break through Foundation Establishment."

"According to the familiar disciples in the sect, the two of them don't know each other on weekdays."

"I haven't seen any contact."

"As for the whereabouts of the two, the disciples who are familiar with them in the sect said that they don't know."

"However, there is one thing worth noting," Ye Hongliu said emphatically, "Among them, this female disciple Chen Yu recently formed a Taoist partner with a monk from a foreign sect, which seems quite sweet."

Hearing his words, Li Chengfeng and Xu Qing looked at each other.

Li Chengfeng said with a smile: "It seems that the test results are the same as ours."

Zhang Han quickly asked: "What do you mean?"

Xu Qing explained: "After you left, the two of us conducted a new autopsy on the three corpses."

"We found that this female disciple's vital yin was damaged, and the spiritual energy in her body was intertwined with yin and yang. It was obvious that she had just undergone an extremely intimate double cultivation."

"So it is also judged that she should have recently become a Taoist couple."
