Chapter 358

As night fell, Tuo Luo Town was silent.

The government soldiers guarded the town tightly, and the patrols went back and forth.

The old Yuelai store was lit with lights, and there were several guards standing in front of the door.

There are two corpses in the lobby: Yuan Tiangang and Xiao Qingfang.

Di Renjie examined Xiao Qingfang's body carefully.

After a long time, he raised his head, pondered for a moment, and quickly walked to Yuan Tiangang's body to inspect it.

Wang Mang walked over slowly, Di Renjie turned around, looked at Wang Mang quietly and did not speak.

Wang Mang said: "Sir, you must want to ask how Xiao Qingfang died?"

Di Renjie nodded.

Wang Mang said softly: "I killed it!"

Di Renjie raised his eyebrows: "Oh? Why, tell me?"

Wang Mang looked around and said, "My lord, this is not a place to talk, what we have to do now is to go back to Luoyang!"

"Luoyang?"

Di Renjie raised his head.

Wang Mang nodded: "Exactly!"

At this time, Wang Mang made a mouth shape: the wall has ears!
Di Renjie took a deep breath and didn't speak.

At this time, Li Yuanfang and Ruyan came down from the stairs, and when they saw the situation in the hall, they immediately slowed down.

Wang Mang glanced at the two of them and asked, "How is Uncle Wen Zhong's injury?"

Li Yuanfang nodded: "It's much better. My lord, what were you and Jing Yang talking about just now?"

Di Renjie took a deep breath and said: "We defeated the 'Snake Spirit' main altar and captured a large number of rebels. Niqu Yuan Tiangang and Xiao Qingfang were awarded the leadership. It should be said that we have won a complete victory.

However, I did not have the slightest joy of victory. "

Li Yuanfang and Ruyan sighed at the same time.

Di Renjie glanced at Wang Mang and said, "Accordingly, the death of Yuan Tiangang and Xiao Qingfang should mean the destruction of the 'Snake Spirit'. However, today Xiao Qingfang was assassinated by a mysterious assassin, and all of this happened so abruptly and so inappropriately." Reasonable, is there a second force in the 'Snake Spirit'?"

Li Yuanfang was surprised: "The first and second forces?"

Di Renjie said: "Think about it, why did this mysterious assassin kill Xiao Qingfang?"

Li Yuanfang and Ruyan looked at each other, then shook their heads slowly.

Wang Mang also shook his head, looking at Di Renjie quietly.

Di Renjie said: "You said in the stone room that Xiao Qingfang rescued Yuan Tiangang from Hanguang Temple in order to get a secret from him, right?"

Li Yuanfang nodded: "Yes."

Di Renjie said: "Xiao Qingfang killed Yuan Tiangang now because she has obtained this secret."

Li Yuanfang suddenly understood: "You mean that the reason why this mysterious assassin killed Xiao Qingfang was because she was afraid that she would reveal the secret if she fell into the hands of the adults, so kill her to silence her!"

Di Renjie raised his head: "Isn't it?"

Ruyan said softly: "Yes, yes. The thing the murderer took from Xiao Qingfang must be the secret."

Di Renjie nodded: "So now we can be sure that there must be a second force in the 'Snake Spirit'.

And this mysterious assassin is very likely to serve this force, and of course it is also possible that he is the representative of this second force. "

Li Yuanfang and Ruyan nodded: "It makes sense."

Di Renjie said: "Thus, although we broke through the 'Snake Spirit' main altar and captured a large number of rebels, the case is far from over. And I dare say that the mysterious killer is not far away from us, even right before us around!"

Li Yuanfang took a deep breath: "My lord, do you mean that the killer is among us?"

Ruyan was stunned, and looked at Li Yuanfang.

Di Renjie shook his head: "I have also thought about what you said, but those around us who are capable of doing this were all following you and me at that time, and there was no time to assassinate."

Li Yuanfang thought about it carefully, and after a long time, he nodded: "That's right. At that time, except for Jing Yang and Ru Yan who led the army to search for the passage, the others were with us all the time."

Ruyan glanced at him, and said unhappily, "Then you doubt me."

Li Yuanfang glared at her: "Suspicion breeds dark ghosts."

Ruyan snorted softly.

Wang Mang smiled, but did not speak.

Di Renjie patted her head with a smile: "You are like a child."

Ruyan smiled and said, "Uncle, listen to what he said, is that what he means?"

Di Renjie smiled and said: "He was just talking about the situation at that time. We just broke through the main altar and started searching, and the killer acted. He killed Xiao Qingfang, and the time coincided with our actions.

Think about it, if the killer didn't hear me assigning missions at the altar, so he knew our movements, how could he time the assassination so well? "

Wang Mang nodded: "It makes sense, I think that mysterious assassin must have been hiding somewhere in the altar and heard our conversation."

Di Renjie nodded slightly.

Li Yuanfang nodded: "Oh, by the way, my lord, there is one more thing I want to tell you."

Di Renjie nodded.

Li Yuanfang said: "In Tuoluo Town, I met a terrible killer."

"Oh?"

Di Renjie raised his head.

Wang Mang also looked at Li Yuanfang.

Li Yuanfang said: "This person is wearing the clothes of 'Viper'. His martial arts are very high, and he is on the same level as me. At that time, in order to find out the entrance of the main altar, I deliberately sold the opening..."

On Tuoladi Street, the killer and Li Yuanfang were fighting silently.

Li Yuanfang deliberately turned around and gave his back to the killer, who swept his shoulder with the killer's blade.

"Snapped!"

The clothes on Li Yuanfang's back were torn, and a stream of blood seeped out.

There was another soft sound, and the clothes on Li Yuanfang's chest burst open, and blood spurted out.

The person opposite laughed lightly.

"boom!"

Li Yuanfang's belt was torn apart and flew out, and a bloody arrow shot out from his abdomen.

His body shook a few times and slowly fell to the ground.

The killer walked into the shop, reached out and patted the door frame lightly, and a secret door popped up in the center of the door frame.

He carved a snake-shaped mark on the doorpost, then reached out to open the secret door, revealing the button inside.

Then lightly press the button, and the ground in the center of the shop slowly rotates.

Li Yuanfang leaned over and looked into the store, only to see the killer walked to the place where the ground was spinning, and with a bang, the ground in the center of the store dropped rapidly, and disappeared into the underground black hole in a blink of an eye.

Li Yuanfang covered the wound on her abdomen with her hand, ran into the grocery store, and patted the door frame lightly.

"Crack", the secret door popped out, he picked up the belt buckle in his hand and inserted it heavily on the door frame, then quickly ran back to the original place and lay down.

Li Yuanfang let out a long breath and said: "After about half an hour, more than a dozen men in purple clothes came out from the grocery store and carried me into the main altar."

Di Renjie nodded: "So that's the case! Li Yuanfang, you said just now that the killer was wearing the clothes of 'Viper' Hu Jinghui?"

Li Yuanfang nodded: "That's right. My lord, the most surprising thing to me is that since I entered the main altar, until your lord led the army to break through the Dharani, this mysterious killer has never appeared again."

Di Renjie and Li Yuanfang looked at Wang Mang. Wang Mang glanced at Di Renjie, pointed to the east wall, and nodded slightly.
