I was just solving crimes, how could I become an immortal?

Chapter 170 The key to breaking the situation

Experienced in many battles? Unparalleled martial arts?
  The first 26 unlucky guys who died all thought they were awesome.

Except for Mo Xiaoming, who is greedy for life and afraid of death, the other masters don't want to be scared away by this mere invitation? Came without hesitation.

Unfortunately, no one has left this winter hunt alive so far.

Tie Mian is very arrogant, because he has the capital of arrogance. No one in the entire Privy Council is his opponent, and he is outstanding in all assessments.

But even such a proud person will still show fear when faced with a force majeure crisis.

"Don't be so pessimistic. Things are not as serious as you think." Cao An picked up the crossbow arrow he had just pulled out and observed it for a moment.

The arrow is about a foot long, and the arrow body is very thin. It is not even considered a heavy crossbow.

As long as it misses the heart and takes the special elixir, there will be no serious problems with the iron-faced physique.

"But what about the next attack? How should we deal with it?" Tiemian was now completely defeated.

This little injury cannot defeat him.

But he tried his best, but still couldn't block even a single move. The opponent's strength was probably at the first level, and Tie Mian felt powerless in his heart.

There will still be some time before the fog dissipates. With his current situation, the next sneak attack will be the day of death. Now it is like waiting to be put on the guillotine. Death is certain no matter what, it is really frustrating.

"You also know that he is attacking in a sneak attack. If the opponent is really a first-class master, do you still need to attack in a sneak attack?" Cao An dropped the arrow and replied disdainfully.

Tie Mian saw hope again and quickly asked: "Since the opponent is not strong, how can he shoot such a powerful arrow?"

"I don't know yet, so I'm going to investigate. If I can barely stop you, I'm afraid the other one..."

There were three people who received the invitation, and the last one, who had a relationship with Cao An, was the six-door blue-clad Lin Captou.

That person's strength is definitely worse than Iron Mask by more than a star, and he is probably already in danger.

"How about you follow me? I might be able to look after you."

Tie Mian did not refuse Cao An's suggestion, and the surrounding Privy Council spies also expressed their gratitude.

At least for now, it seems that the Tsing Yi Department is the only one that can block the sneak attack. They don't want to catch the murderer, they just hope that Iron Mask can survive this most dangerous stage.

……

The group of people continued on the road, and in the foggy and confusing world, it was impossible to identify the direction at this moment.

Layers upon layers of villages appeared, accompanied by a large number of attacks by innocent souls. I don’t know where the prince’s cave is, let alone where the way out is.

Fortunately, Cao An could still clearly see the flare flying into the sky. He quickly rushed to the scene of the incident, and all he saw was a group of angry and grieving six-door policemen.

"Cao Shuixiu!" Seeing his arrival, the detectives saluted one after another.

They were also very confused about Cao An.

Whether it was the Minister of Dali Temple or the Minister of the Ministry of Punishment, they had repeatedly reminded them not to provoke Cao An. It was best to just leave without saying a few words. This would be a big trouble for walking.

But another detective in blue, Qiao Yundong, had reminded them that if they encountered any trouble, they should go to Cao An. He was the most reliable person in the entire Shangjiang City.

But no matter what this group of people thought, Cao An still came.

"Did something happen?"

"Yes, Capt. Lin was... plotted against. Come and take a look." The detectives spoke hesitantly and seemed unable to describe the case, so they could only take Cao An to the scene of the crime.

Cao An sneered at the ability of these people to handle cases.

It's just a murder case. It's nothing more than a white knife going in and a red knife coming out. What's there to be hesitant about? A group of people who have never seen the world...

"What!! Is your headhunter so deadly?"

Cao An was stunned, and Sanyang, Tiemian and others who were accompanying him were also a little shocked.

There are cases every day, but the death in front of you is really unheard of.

I saw Captain Lin sitting in front of a low table. On the low table was a footbath with water in the basin less than a foot deep.

Then... Lin Captou drowned in the footbath.

"Are you kidding! Can this kill someone?" Cao An didn't know how strong this person was, but no matter how bad he was, he wouldn't die in the footbath.

First of all, this is a warrior. Even if his head is pressed or immersed in water, he can use his strength to break the foot basin.

Secondly, how much water is in this footbath? Wouldn't it be enough to drink it all in one gulp?
  It's strange that he could be drowned.

"Have you seen the murderer?" Cao An asked the policeman on the side.

The detective shook his head: "Captain Lin received the invitation, and we were also worried about his safety, so we were very careful along the way. This time we found a clean room to rest, and we all guarded the surrounding area tightly. There was no one around. ah!"

"Did you hear anything?"

"No, we rested for a quarter of an hour and wanted to deliver food to the boss. When there was no answer when we knocked on the door, we noticed something strange."

Can't you see the enemy's crime again? This is similar to what happened to Iron Mask.

"Where's Qiao Yundong? Why didn't you see him?"

"Captain Qiao led another team away and seemed to be on a mission."

Sure enough, that kid had his own mission. The six doors were now leaderless and obviously in disarray.

As for Tiemian, he and Lin Baotou were old acquaintances. Now that they were dead and injured, they couldn't help but feel a little sad.

He asked Cao An in a low voice with a hoarse voice: "I'm afraid the opponent's strength is really extraordinary if he can kill people silently! Do you have a clue?" Cao An nodded: "Although I don't want to say it, Captain Lin With his head dead, the case will be easier to solve."

Iron Mask:? ? ?
  Ignoring the strange look in his eyes, Cao An carefully examined the state of Lin's death.

"There are water marks on the eyes and nose, the skin is blue-purple, and water overflows when pressing the abdomen. Typical symptoms of drowning."

Those present were either police officers or spies, and the cause of death was obvious.

It's just that the amount of water that drowned was so shocking that more than just this basin of water must have drowned. This is just a confusing illusion.

"Is it possible that he died by the river and was dragged here?" Pan Daxi analyzed at the side.

【Six distinct senses】

Cao An activated his skills and carefully observed the ground.

Not to mention the traces of dragging, he couldn't even see the footprints. This should be the scene of the first crime.

But where did the water that drowned people come from?

【Miracle Walker】

Cao An simply activated the most powerful skill and directly checked the murderer's path.

As long as the crime occurs not long ago, this skill can take effect, not only through traces on the ground, but also through the smell, strength, etc. that have not yet dissipated, to capture the traces of the murderer.

This time, he succeeded, but this guiding airflow actually pointed all the way to the window?

Enter through the skylight, kill someone, then jump out through the window.

Is this technique so untechnical?
  Cao An looked at the police officers around him, and there were nearly fifty of them at a rough count. If the crime was not committed internally, then the enemy would have been completely invisible and could have sneaked in with such arrogance.

Calmly, Cao An continued to gently tap his finger on Lin Captou's forehead.

[Please leave your last words].

"Gululu~~Help, help! What is this! Don't pester me~~"

Stop pestering me?
  This sounds very novel!

Those who can use this expression are either frivolous things like silk, or they are haunting people.

If it's a ghost stalking someone, that's very possible.

For example, a water ghost can indeed cause death by drowning if it directly hugs Lin's head.

But Lin's head-catching ability is not low!

Anyone who dares to come here to kill ghosts will definitely be killed by a water ghost, right?

[Suspicion of corpses]

Cao An used the fourth skill and rushed to the scene of the crime as soon as possible. The skill was used smoothly.

The claw marks on the tabletop, the drag marks of the chair rubbing against the floor, and a scene quickly simulated before my eyes.

Lin Captou must have had something wrapped around his head. He wanted to struggle, but found that his hands and feet could not move.

His fingers were digging into the tabletop frantically, and his legs were struggling hard, but it seemed as if his body was being held down so hard that he couldn't move until he drowned.

Ordinary innocent souls would never be able to do this. Was he killed by a group of innocent souls?
  Cao An did not tell the results of the investigation because he felt outrageous.

While I was thinking, there was another whine outside the house, the sandstorm broke out again, and the turbid world seemed to be stained with a layer of sallow.

Vaguely, countless ghost figures came with the sandstorm, and a new battle began.

With Cao An's strength, he was naturally not afraid of these evil souls causing trouble, but the feeling of palpitations rose again.

Dang rang~
  Pan Daxi showed off his iconic golden chain and prepared to lead his sister into the battle.

But Cao An had an idea and suddenly shouted: "Pan Jinlin, you brothers and sisters stay, and you, senior sister, stay too."

Cao An's instructions were strange, because the most powerful people present were probably Red Fox and Sanyang.

But he didn't mention these two by name. Instead, he asked the Pan family brother and sister and the eldest sister to stay. Is there some special situation?
  Everyone did not dare to neglect, and worked hard to protect Cao An, keeping a close eye on the visions around him.

Soon, the wind and sand stopped, and the innocent souls were all reduced to ashes in the hands of the angry Six Gates.

"Nothing happened!" Ying Huorong scratched the door with her sharp claws. She thought there would be a big battle, but unfortunately there was nothing weird.

"The biggest weirdness is that there are no visions." Cao An finally let go of his palpitations and said, "So that's it. Their killing method turned out to be this."

Cao An's soliloquy gave Tie Mian next to him hope: "Do you know the murderer's methods?"

"I know, I have to say, it is indeed a power that is hard to guard against. Haven't you noticed that since you followed me, the sneak attacks have completely disappeared?"

"I noticed it, how did you do it?"

Since there would be one sneak attack, there would definitely be a second one. Tiemian was terrified all the way, fearing that an arrow would suddenly shoot out from somewhere.

Without this journey, the sneak attack would not have happened at all, and Cao An must have contributed to it.

"It's not my credit, it's the credit of these two door gods." Cao An looked behind him.

The Pang brothers and sisters and the eldest sister are the key to breaking the situation.
