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

Chapter 316 The murderer is everywhere
Either the mystery is untrue, or there are so many clues that it becomes overwhelming.

This case is really weird.

"But isn't it bad to have too many clues?" Sima Shu stood aside and asked strangely.

Although he didn't understand the source of Cao An's clues, at least in his understanding, the more clues, the easier it would be to catch the murderer.

But Cao An just shook his head regretfully: "There are many clues, and it may confuse the eyes, making it impossible for me to accurately locate the key."

Sima Shu didn't understand Cao An's answer, but it didn't stop him from taking notes quickly. He wanted to record Cao An's case handling process in detail.

Of course, it was useless to record it, because he had no idea what clue Cao An was referring to. In his eyes, there were only bleak withered vines in this place.

But in Cao An's eyes, what he saw at this moment were countless densely packed threads.

The mystery case has been accepted, and the skills at this moment are completely trouble-free. The most efficient one is naturally [Miracle Walker], which can directly capture the murderer's trajectory.

For those who are more lucky, just like the time in Nanchu, you can find the murderer by following his tracks, which is quick and easy.

"Oh, the Supreme Elder has profound skills and has set up a soul tablet in the sect, so that's why he knew about it. As for the other brothers and sisters..." Tan Mian said, his face also became sad.

"What are they doing?" Cao An asked strangely.

Is this murderer that busy?

Cao An touched his chin and turned to look at the disciples around him. Indeed, at this moment, everyone had serious faces and were running around in the inner gate.

"I, Tan Mian, am just a direct disciple of Ziyun Valley. I cannot bear the title of Taoist Master." The young disciple quickly returned the greeting.

It can be felt that these inner disciples of Ziyun Valley have a very high sense of belonging to the sect, and their ability to take the initiative to share responsibilities in the face of crisis is completely unmatched by the [Three Shadows Studio].

In Dongzhou, Taoism is the most popular, but not every monk can become a Taoist priest.

"Oh, the disciples are helping to maintain the vitality of the vines and block the withered extension." After hearing his inquiry, the direct disciple who was following him said.

"Brother Cao, I just heard what you said. After my junior brother was frozen, his vitality was not extinguished. Is it true? How long can he last? Is there a way to unlock it?" Tan Mian asked with concern.

There is no doubt that this is an insider's crime, and judging from the back and forth, it seems to be very busy?

Track 1, Track 10, Track 100... densely packed tracks are overwhelming, criss-crossing the Ziyun Valley.

Cao An nodded, raised his hands and asked, "How do you call this Taoist priest?"

Of course, even just one disciple is working hard for the sect's crisis at this moment.

There were even many overlapping traces, so that Cao An couldn't figure out the source.

But this time, there are clues, but they are numerous.

The moment the skill was activated, the world suddenly darkened, and a warm emerald green wind floated between the sky and the earth along the murderer's path.

Only masters with high moral standing and above the third level can be called Taoist priests. The Tan Mian in front of him is far from enough.

"I don't have a way to untie it, and I don't even know how long it can last. But I just heard what Elder Dingyun said. The Supreme Elder of your sect is also not dead, so why do you ask me?"

He was frozen into an ice sculpture, his pulse could not be detected, and he could not maintain his breathing. In the eyes of many people, he was dead.

The only thing he knew was that the Supreme Elder had left a soul card. If the soul card was not broken, it proved that he still had a breath left. It was probably because of his profound skill that he had temporarily activated the "Turtle Breath Technique".

As for the rest of the disciples, I'm afraid they are not optimistic. Their strength will not last long.

With no other choice, the disciples could only work hard to use their skills to inject true energy into the Ziyun Vine to maintain the vitality of the vine. I hope this dilapidated scene will not spread to the outer gate to prevent panic and shock Xiaoxiao.

"But this is not a long-term solution! There must be quite a few people suffering from freezing symptoms."

"There are already hundreds of people." Tan Mian rubbed his face and tried to cheer himself up.

It has been several months since the first ice sculpture appeared. Counting the disciples from the outer sect, hundreds of them have been frozen into ice sculptures, and some of them are probably lifeless.

"Take us to see the situation." The doctors on the side expressed sympathy for Ziyun Valley. All they can do now is to find ways to cure the victims.

But when everyone entered the side hall and saw the scene in front of them, they couldn't help but sigh sadly.

113 symptomatic patients were coldly displayed in the side hall. Counting the 21 seats at the outer gate, a total of 134 people suffered.

At this moment, most of them are still in the state of ice sculptures, and their life and death are uncertain.

There is also a small part that has been unfrozen, but has no life, and is sadly covered with white cloth.

"We have tried many methods, including breaking ice, burning with fire, boiling in water, etc., but the result is that the body is dead and the soul is gone. It is only with the help of the soul card of the Supreme Elder that we know that its vitality is not extinguished. We have invited you all, but there is no need to do anything. To lend a helping hand.”

Elder Dingyun looked miserable and bowed to everyone, hoping that things would turn around. Everyone was unequivocal and quickly invested in the treatment.

Naturally, Cao An was also helping, but the people he chose were not living people, but dead people.

When the white cloth was lifted, the dozens of corpses lined up in front of them had all been thawed, but they all had scars more or less on their bodies.

Such as burns, scalds, bruises, etc...

"We have tried all methods, but unfortunately the layer of ice cannot be lifted with gentle means, so we thought of injecting zhenqi to counteract it. Unexpectedly..." Tan Mian followed Cao An to assist him in investigating the case.

At this moment, his face was also full of guilt.

If according to what Cao An said, the frozen people are not dead yet, then their move to forcefully lift the frost may very well be the last straw that crushes the hope of life.

Cao An sighed: "You don't have to blame yourself. Even if you don't try, they won't survive long. You have done your best."

Cao An pricked a silver needle and activated the [Silver Needle Poison Detection] skill, and feedback came quickly.

"The silver needle poison test is completed. The poison in the corpse is: [Han Ling Devours Yuan Sha]."

The toxin came out, and he died of poisoning.

Cao An looked at the doctors behind him and said loudly: "What they hit is [Han Ling Devouring Yuan Sha], have you heard of it?"

"[Han Ling Devours Yuan Sha]?"

Cao An's words shocked all the doctors.

They didn't understand where Cao An's conclusion came from, but no one refuted it at this moment, because the symptoms were very similar.

"I just suspected that it was caused by cold poison, but I have only heard of [Han Ling Sha]. What is this [Han Ling Devouring Essence Sand]?"

"It should be an improved cold poison. I don't know how this poison was administered."

"How to poison is second, but now the more important thing is how to detoxify?"

"There is no cure for this poison!"
