Secret Notes of a Mystery Investigator

Chapter 156 Changbai Mountain Ghost King Tomb (10)
This tragic scene reminded me of Longlin's sinister expression towards the black wizards. Did he kill everyone just because of me?Thinking of this, I immediately walked up to the young man, helped him up and said, "Hold on, I'll take you to receive treatment right away."

When the man saw my expression, he immediately became terrified. He pointed at my face, as if he wanted to say something, but in the end he tilted his head and didn't survive. He slowly put him back on the snow, turned his head and said to the two people: Is it right? What did you do?
The two immediately denied: "You really wronged us. The two of us never left the cave tonight, and it is not easy to slaughter a group of black wizards. We are only low-level clansmen and cannot accept this kind of task."

I said: What about the dragon scale?Did he do it?
The two of them showed embarrassment and said: "Don't embarrass us, this kind of thing is not something we can talk about."

I sighed, and said: I just said something casually, so many lives were lost, what is the difference between the Tianling clan and those demon clan forces?After finishing speaking, he turned his head and said to those two people: "You guys let Longlin come to see me."

After a while, seeing that the two of them didn't move, I said: Is this how you treat the elder's order?
Although the two of them were extremely reluctant, they still turned around and headed towards the cave. The snowy field in the dark night was silent, and so many dead bodies around me made me somewhat "stressed". Just as I turned around and was about to leave here, I suddenly saw A strange-looking "person" squatted on the root of a dead pine tree.

My scalp was numb, because I really couldn't be sure if this was a human being. I saw that he had silver hair, but his face was very plump. He looked like a baby, but the hand holding the tree was yellow and thin, with black nails. It was long and narrow, like a chicken paw. He was wearing a tattered robe with red and white stripes. Judging from the style, I really didn’t know it was a servant of that era. He stared at me for a long time, just when I was about to ask him " Is it a human or a ghost?" He took the lead to ask: Are you He Zhuang?

I nodded and said: Who are you?

The man laughed strangely and said: Don't care who I am, but I know you are He Zhuang.

I was about to ask further questions, when I heard the sound of footsteps, Long Lin brought six or seven warriors from the Celestial Tribe to come quickly, walked up to me and said: "I heard that you are looking for me?"
He didn't seem to see the "person" squatting on the root of the tree, logically he shouldn't, because he was facing this person, could it be... Thinking of this, my heart tightened, and the "person" on the root of the tree was still smiling He was facing me, but his color was a little blue under the moonlight, so I didn't dare to look at him again, turned around and said, "Did you kill these people?"

Long Lin didn't seem to know about it at all and said: Elder, you should know the rules of the Sky Spirit Clan?
I hesitated for a while and said: What rules?
Long Lin nodded and said: "The Tianling tribe does not allow the aborigines to go out privately when night falls, unless there is an order from the elders or the Wuhua God of War. This is one of the oldest regulations. I just have the courage to go out." , and dare not violate ancient teachings.

I said: If it weren't for you, who in this desolate place could kill a group of black wizards.As soon as I finished speaking, my heart moved slightly, and I looked towards the tree stump behind me. The weird person had disappeared, and I don't know where he went, but there was no trace of footprints on the snow.

Long Lin saw that there was something wrong with my expression, thinking that I was still suspicious of him and said: Elder, if you don't believe me, I can swear a poisonous oath.

I waved my hand and said: As long as you didn't do this, it's fine, but Brother Long, I hope you can investigate this matter clearly, I can't tolerate a murderer appearing near me.

Longlin's expression was relaxed, and he said: Don't worry, I will investigate this matter thoroughly even if you don't order it.

I turned around and walked towards the residence, Longlin followed closely behind me, halfway through I turned around and asked: Did you see a man in a tattered cloth robe?

Long Lin said: No, there are only our own people and those corpses at the scene, did you see irrelevant people?That could very well be the murderer.

I shook my head and said: Maybe I'm hallucinating.After that, he went straight back to the cave to sleep.

10. The War of the Three Clans

When I got up early the next morning, someone put my breakfast on a silver mobile dining table at the door. I pulled into the room and opened the silver cover. I saw two chicken legs and a bowl of dry rice poured with vegetable juice, but The Tianlingzu's rice bowl and vegetable juice are terribly fragrant, which reminds me of dragon meat again.

After taking two mouthfuls of the aroma from the inside out, my appetite was revived. Regardless of the "elder's image", I picked up the plate and picked up the rice. Before I had eaten two mouthfuls, I suddenly saw that a finger was pulled out from the rice grains, and I was unprepared. I felt sick for a while, opened my mouth and vomited, and then took out every grain of rice in my mouth, still feeling sick, and opened the door: Who cooked the breakfast?
All the people eating at the table looked at me, Longlin said: "Do you have any orders?"
I dragged him into the room, pointed to the finger on the plate and said: Don't say this is an extra meal for me.

Long Lin's expression changed drastically immediately, he picked up his finger and looked at it carefully for a while, and said to me: Don't worry, I will definitely give you an explanation.After finishing speaking, he turned around and left the room, saying, "Where's Ma Yan?"Where did others go?
One said: I didn't see him this morning.

Longlin said: Who cooked the rice?
A fat man stood up and said: It's me.

Long Lin said: Besides chicken legs, what else is there?
The fat man said: There is also a piece of pork, I made barbecued pork rice.

Longlin said: Fresh pork?
Fatty nodded, Longlin said: Who sent it?
The fat man was taken aback, then shook his head, Longlin said: "How dare you use inexplicable meat for cooking?"Is it useful to have a brain?
The fat man rubbed the back of his head with a blushing face, and said: I really didn't think about it so much. After all, this is the kitchen of the Tianling clan, and no one can sneak in and do tricks.

Longlin snorted and said: Even if outsiders can't... He immediately reacted when he said this, and changed his words: Let's go to the kitchen to have a look first.

A group of Tianling clan warriors got up and went towards the kitchen. I faintly felt that something might happen, so I followed. As soon as I got to the kitchen door, I heard a roar, and everyone immediately gathered around the kitchen door. I saw a person hanging on the meat hook in the kitchen, and the flesh on his back had been cut clean, revealing the thick bones and blood that had already flowed cleanly, and the flesh and blood were a little white.

Longlin said to Fatty: This is the barbecued pork rice you cooked this morning.

When I said a word, many people couldn't help but spit it out, and my heart was turned again and again, and the fat man's face turned pale with fright: I don't know what happened, but what I saw this morning was a piece of pork, and now it has become a piece of meat. Ma Yan, I do not know why.

One yelled loudly: "Fuck you, Fatty Xu, you are the one who killed people, don't pretend to be confused."

The flesh on the fat man's face trembled because of nervousness and said: "It wasn't me, I really didn't do it."

Longlin glanced at the people outside, and said in a deep voice: Fatty, you don't have to worry. If this matter has nothing to do with you, no one can plant it on you. I believe you will not do such a stupid thing, but you have to Think about it, who was in the kitchen besides you yesterday?
Someone outside shouted loudly: "This is where your long-sword clan is growing, and the elders have also found it. Of course, we don't pay attention to our big axe."

Longlin said: Liangzi, some things are not easy to say. Although we belong to the long knife and the big axe, we are all brothers and sisters of the Tianling clan. Butcher and eat meat?I believe this matter has nothing to do with Fatty, but I will definitely investigate and give you Brother Big Ax an explanation. Before the matter is clear, everyone must restrain their emotions.

Liangzi is the burliest one in the big ax family. Although every fighter in the big ax is very strong, but Liangzi is the strongest big ax fighter I have ever seen, and the strongest human being, except for the peacock spirit of course Father and son Wang, he is two meters tall, his body is wider than a child lying sideways, his shoulders are broad and thick, and he stands taller than anyone else.

Liangzi separated from the crowd and walked up to Longlin and said: "Longtou, I know you are the disciple of Elder He, and I also know that you have the final say here, but it doesn't mean that you can cover the sky with one hand and dominate alone, Ma Yan It's the deputy commander, he's after you, why is it that only he has an accident when everyone else is fine.

The man with the big ax unconsciously gathered around Liangzi. It seemed that these words had already had an effect. Longlin was very calm. He pulled the fat man behind him and said: "There is no point in random suspicion at this point. Make the enemies hiding in the dark even more proud. Ma Yan died today in the residence of the Tianling tribe warriors. The perpetrators are definitely not ordinary people. Therefore, we must unite in front of the enemy, otherwise we are afraid that everyone will be unlucky. Trust me I can bear it for a few days, Ma Yan is definitely not the murderer's first target, the fox will show its tail sooner or later.

Liangzi snorted and said: Why do you make us believe your nonsense?
Long Lin said: "Even if what I'm talking about is nonsense, you have to listen to it today. Ma Yan's body is hanging here. If you are really good for him, you should get out of the way now. Let's bury him first, otherwise you Just take an ax and chop me up, that's all.

Liangzi stared at Longlin for a long time, and finally gave way, and I was relieved, but when Longlin wanted to remove Ma Yan's body, Liangzi said: Stop.Then he walked to the corpse, took Ma Yan's broken body off the hook, held it in his hands, and went out of the cave. All the warriors with big axes followed, and Longlin was about to go out. A tall and thin man beside him The tall man grabbed him and said: Is this necessary?

Longlin said: The one who died today was a brother, I will definitely go to see him off.

The skinny man snorted and said, "Death deserves it. None of these laborers know what's good or bad."

Longlin said: The elder is here, don't talk nonsense.

The thin man gave me a mocking look, turned around and walked into the room without saying a word.

Long Lin said to me: Elders, don't be as knowledgeable as this kind of person, he is good, but he is not forgiving.

In fact, I don't care at all, and said: "Now is not the time to worry about small things. We must figure out these two extremely bad murder cases. The murderer is obviously around us, but we don't know anything about it. This is very important for Tianling." The clan warrior is a great irony.

Longlin said: Actually, I already have a certain idea, but I'm not sure yet.

I said: You tell me to listen.

Longlin said: This matter cannot be explained clearly in one or two sentences, because the object of my suspicion is not a certain person, so I have to start with the current internal situation of the Tianling clan. It is a very disunited race, each group wants to be the center of power, but the saddest thing is that although there is no news of the Wuhua War God and the Elder Sword, there are still dragon guards, and their status is higher than that of the Tianling clan Warriors, so although Shennongjia is known as the holy land of the Tianling clan, in fact, the people of the clan have no status.

The relationship between us and the Dragon Guards is not harmonious, because the Sky Spirit Warriors can't replace these super-capable people, and the Dragon Guards actually have no real concept of rights. They are a group of simple people who have been protecting Shenlong insists on this ideal, so although their status is higher than ours, the actual managers of the Holy Land are the Tianling tribe, and the restrained desire will expand infinitely. Some leaders of the Tianling tribe began to move around and want to seize power. It was soon revealed that these people all died at the hands of the Dragon Clan guards, and some fighters who defected from the Tianling Clan began to mix in the society and make a living by some sidelines.

I was a little surprised and said: I have heard people say that the Celestials used their abilities to steal money and gain ill-gotten gains. Could it be that the Celestials in the Holy Land did these things?

Long Lin nodded and said: That's right, the Celestials in the Holy Land are all human beings with strong self-esteem, they can't do these things, but those who escaped are different, they are helpless and have no special skills , and it is impossible for them to mix in the world and live that kind of ordinary life, black eating black has become their most suitable way of survival, and these days the spirit tribe has also quickly accumulated a lot of wealth, but the trouble is that Although it is impossible for those criminals to go to the police to seek justice for themselves, these people are not fuel-efficient, so they quickly organized forces and started chasing and killing those Tianling tribe fighters. The trouble became bigger and bigger, and finally came the day when it couldn't be stopped. The Tianling clan in the Holy Land finally couldn't take it anymore and started to eliminate these so-called traitors.

To put it bluntly, these traitors are a group of the most unlucky scapegoats. They took the lead in doing something that everyone wanted to do in the Sky Spirit Race, but they were the only ones who were punished. It has become a daily routine. Although these people are being forced, they have no room to fight back. In the end, they can only come to the forbidden place of the Tianling Clan--Changbai Mountain.

I suddenly realized in my heart: So you came to Changbai Mountain because of this incident?
Longlin nodded and said: We have nowhere to hide. In fact, there is no so-called treasure of the Tianling clan. We are the defectors. But the first time I saw you, I thought you looked like Elder He. The blood-cursed knife found from you further confirmed my guess. Now all the people here have basically lost the courage to continue to live. I hope you can send them back to the Holy Land of the Heavenly Spirit Clan safely. Leave it to me alone.

I said: Maybe I want to disappoint you, I don't have this ability at all, and I don't know the holy place that I expect you to send you to.

Longlin said: Maybe you are still blaming me for killing those two Celestial warriors, but there is nothing we can do about it. You saw with your own eyes how the Celestial Tribe who got the news massacred those black wizard tribes that they mistakenly thought were us , we are only forced to do so.

It turned out that the murderer that Longlin guessed was their own clansman, I said: Since Changbai Mountain is the forbidden area of ​​the Tianling clan, why did those two Longbow clan warriors enter it?
Long Lin said: Because they already know why Changbai Mountain is a forbidden place for the Tianling Clan?

I said: why?
Longlin shook his head and said: Traitors have no right to know these things.

I said: When things are in this situation, it is useless for you to find me, the so-called elder, and you don't need the so-called elder at all.

Long Lin's expression became complicated, and he thought for a long time before saying: Maybe the situation is indeed as you said, but Ye Luo returns to his roots, I am a warrior of the Sky Spirit Clan after all, I hope that one day I can return to my former homeland, even if I am a sinner. also can.

I said: I still don’t understand how I can help you?
Long Lin said: You are a descendant of Elder He, finding you is equivalent to a great credit, can there be a greater credit than this?
I said: But what if I am not a descendant of Elder He?Then you're going to be out of luck.

Longlin said: Can I be more unlucky?We are a group of pathetic beings who have been truly abandoned by the true God. Death is not the worst outcome. Since life and death don’t matter, why worry about it?
I said: If this is the case, why bother?
Longlin smiled and said: "Many things are beyond our control, maybe you will have the opportunity to know all this in the future.

I said, "Let's clarify the matter before us first. What should we do if there are people from the Tianling tribe who come to chase you down?"
Long Lin understood what I meant, and said: Don't worry, elder, no matter what, we will ensure your safety first, and I believe that those people who came here should not kill innocent people randomly. In the hearts of all Tianling warriors, as long as they see it, they will be killed.

I said: They may not remember clearly, otherwise they would not kill those black wizards as you.

Longlin said: This is also something strange to me, but I can be sure that those soldiers who came after him will never remember the appearance of a traitor wrongly.
