The head of urban peach blossom

Chapter 1245 Another Murder

Just as the people in the royal city were panicking, there was finally movement in the royal palace, and notices were posted everywhere in the city.

The general content is that the monsters are causing trouble, and the palace has long been secretly investigating, but they haven't found a trace of clues.Therefore, a huge bounty is offered for clues related to monsters.At the same time, recruit experts to cooperate with the palace to catch demons.

This notice reassured the common people a little.

After seeing the notice, Hua Xiaolou couldn't help but feel moved: "Xiaowan, why don't we sign up?"

"Ah?" Tang Xiaowan blinked.

"Anyway, our coming here is equivalent to traveling, maybe this incident is our breakthrough?"

"All right!"

Tang Xiaowan thought about it, and what Hua Xiaolou said seemed to make sense.

So, the two went to dress up first, and then went to apply for the job according to the notice.

It seems that there are not many people who come to sign up.When Hua Xiaolou and Tang Xiaowan went, there were three old men sitting in the room chatting leisurely.

From the perspective of momentum, the other party is almost the cultivation level of Taiyi Jinxian.

"Three, we came here after seeing the notice."

"Oh?"

An old man in black sitting in the middle glanced at Hua Xiaolou and the two, and said casually, "Do you have any experience in catching monsters?"

"Hehe, of course there are." Hua Xiaolou smiled conceitedly.

"Then let us see your abilities... Don't get me wrong, this is also to prevent some cheating food and drink."

"Understand."

Hua Xiaolou nodded with a smile, and then slightly released his aura, and the expressions of the three old men changed at the same time... because they suddenly felt a huge pressure at that moment.

This shows that the opponent's strength is much higher than theirs.

As a result, their expressions suddenly became dignified, and they all cupped their hands and said: "I didn't expect that Your Excellency is a master. I hope you will forgive me if I offend you."

"Hehe, it's okay, you are only responsible for your duties. By the way, this is my friend. Her strength is about the same as mine. This time I went out with me and happened to meet this incident, so we came to join in the fun .”

"Okay, I'll take you to the palace now..."

When you go to the palace, you don't meet the king of the empire, but the commander of the palace guards: Zhang He.

This time, Zhang He was in charge of the demon removal operation.

When seeing Zhang He, Hua Xiaolou couldn't help but secretly startled, because he finally met the master.From the perspective of momentum, Zhang He's strength is almost not in the realm of Xingjun.

Only in terms of realm, it is similar to Hua Xiaolou.

At the same time, this guy is also very arrogant.

"Master Zhang, the two of them came to help catch the monster after seeing the notice..."

"Ok!"

Zhang He just glanced at them lightly, and then waved his hands impatiently: "Take them to register and settle them down."

"Yes, my lord!"

Not long after, the old man handed over the two of them to another middle-aged man named Meng Xiu.

This person is a sub-captain of the Royal Palace Guard, and his strength is almost equivalent to Da Luo Jinxian.

"Captain Meng, I'll leave it to you. I'll go back first."

"Ok."

Relatively speaking, Meng Xiu's attitude was much more enthusiastic, and when the old man left, he looked at Hua Xiaolou and the two cheerfully and said, "You two are welcome to join, if there is anything you don't understand, or if you need anything, just come Find me."

"Thank you..."

Hua Xiaolou smiled.

Then he asked again: "By the way, Captain Meng, I would like to ask, what progress have you made so far?"

Meng Xiu hesitated for a moment, then shook his head: "Not yet."

Soon after, Meng Xiu took Hua Xiaolou and the two to a compound adjacent to the palace.

"You will live here temporarily in the future, and we have recruited five or six people to help..."

"Oh? Are there so few applicants?" Hua Xiaolou wondered.

Meng Xiu smiled wryly: "Perhaps, everyone feels that they don't have the confidence to catch the demon."

From Meng Xiu's expression, Hua Xiaolou always felt that this guy seemed to know something, but he didn't say anything, and he became even more puzzled.

"By the way, this is the token of the two..."

Meng Xiu seemed to have thought of something, and handed over two storage bags: "With this token, I can mobilize some guards to help you. Also, there are some fairy crystals in it, which can be regarded as early rewards. If the two of you make meritorious service , the rewards will be generous.”

"OK, all right."

Now that they took this job, Hua Xiaolou and Tang Xiaowan naturally paid special attention to it.

The next day, I received news that two more men had been killed in Pingyang Town.

Pingyang Town is not far from Wangcheng, Hua Xiaolou and Tang Xiaowan volunteered to investigate with Meng Xiu.

The two men killed, one named Henry Zhang and the other Ye Zhengyong, were both in their prime.

It was Henry Zhang who Hua Xiaolou and his party checked first.

Tang Xiaowan didn't go to look at the corpse, but mingled with the crowd and eavesdropped on the discussions of some local people.

Hua Xiaolou had seen the murdered man in Wangcheng once before, but he didn't look closely at that time.Now that I have official duties, I naturally have to check carefully.

Same as what I saw last time, Henry Zhang seemed to be dry firewood, obviously his energy was drained, and the whole body was completely deformed.

If you look closely at his expression, there is no trace of fear at all, and there is even some enjoyment.

Hua Xiaolou inspected it carefully, and probed it with his spiritual sense. He can judge that this guy did have an intense, indescribable exercise before he died.

Moreover, it can also sense a ray of evil spirit that has not dissipated...

The place where he was killed was on a sloping field on the edge of the town, and it was night.However, this guy is inexplicable, what is he doing here at night?

"Wuwuwu, my lord, you must avenge my husband, he died very unjustly."

Henry Zhang's wife sobbed and answered questions intermittently.

"Was your husband home yesterday?"

"No, he's been away for a few days..."

"Have you been away for a few days? Why did you suddenly appear here again?"

"I, I don't know either..."

But at this time, Tang Xiaowan was standing in the crowd, but heard some unusual information.

"Maybe this is retribution..."

"Yeah, these two guys have spoiled countless women. Now it's all right, and the retribution is coming."

"Keep your voice down, everyone is dead, so don't say such sarcastic remarks..."

After a while, Hua Xiaolou and others went to check Ye Zhengyong's body again. The situation was similar, but the location was different.

Judging from the time and method of death, two banshees should have appeared here last night.

"Okay, let's leave, we will definitely find a way to find the banshees and destroy them."

"My lord, many people have died here, you have to hurry up..."

"That's right, it's making people panic..."

"Don't worry, didn't you see the notice? We are stepping up our investigation and will definitely find those harmful banshees..."

Meng Xiu kept comforting him.

And Hua Xiaolou looked around on the hillside, frowning and thinking...
