Refusing to ascend at the beginning

Chapter 61 Encounter
When they heard someone calling out the names of Su Han and Su Han, they both turned to look.

Then I saw a man in black attire standing not far away, his face full of surprise and surprise.

After taking a closer look, I was shocked to recognize that the man was actually a man of grain.

Su Han and Chen Chuyao were both stunned, never expecting to meet him here.

Gu Deman once said that the strongholds he was responsible for were mainly in the Pei State area, and when they parted before, he said he was going to Jiukui City to investigate the case.When Su Han passed by Jiukui City earlier, he was still curious about whether he could meet him.

Unexpectedly, after more than two months of separation in Yunwu City of Pei State, instead of meeting him in Jiukui City, he met him in Shouyan City in the Middle Earth.

Gu Deman walked over quickly, said hello to the officers and soldiers who questioned him, and then led them to a place with few people.

"Why are you two here?" he asked. When they parted in Yunwu City, Su Han only said that he was going to Luwei City, and when the latter left Luwei City, he did not tell Zhao Xiang where they were going.

He only knew that Su Regret had left from Luwei City, but he didn't know where he went, so he forgot about it later and concentrated on investigating the case at hand.

Looking at the surprised Gu Deman, Su Han said: "The two of us set off from Luwei City a month ago and headed for Guicheng. This place is one of the scheduled places for merchant ships to dock. But you, why are you here? Why are you here? Among the interrogating teams? What happened in Shouyan City?"

He asked several questions in succession.

Listening to Su Han talk about Luwei City, Gu Deman once again thought of the messages he received from Gu Zhen and Zhao Xiang a month ago. The former asked him to pay more attention to the changes in the Hundred Beasts Palace, while the latter asked him to provide detailed information for him. It explains what happened under the cliff of "Niaohuitou" in Luwei City.

So, Gu Deman bowed to Su Han and solemnly thanked him: "Zhao Xiang has told me about the things in Luwei City in the letter. Su Shaoxia saved Brother Wang and her from Qiu Baijing. I am really grateful." All."

Su Xuan waved his hand, saying this matter was not worth mentioning.

After thanking him, Gu Deman began to answer the questions Su Han had just raised.

It turned out that after Gu Deman separated from Su Han in Yunwu City, he returned to Liangning City, the stronghold of Sifang Prison where he was located, as planned. After imprisoning the murderer of the Jade Girl Sect, he rushed to Jiukui City without stopping.

The distance between Jiukui City and Liangning City was less than half of Pei State's territory, which was still quite far away. Therefore, it took nearly a month and a half to reach Jiukui City.When he arrived, Su Han had already left there.

After arriving in Jiukui City, he began to investigate the incident "suspected of being caused by Chuanxin Palace". Upon inquiry, he discovered that no one had been killed since the "Qingzhu Oiran Case" that shocked the whole city.

Hearing this, Su Han and Chen Chuyao were stunned. The former asked slightly in surprise: "The case of Qingzhu Oiran?"

Gu Deman nodded and said: "Qingzhu Oiran is one of the nine prestigious Oirans in Jiukui City, and is the focus of the city. One morning, her body was discovered in her boudoir by her maid. The heart is missing and the death is quite miserable, which is the consistent killing method of Chuanxin Palace."

Su Han and Chen Chuyao looked at each other and saw that their expressions were different. Gu Deman asked strangely: "Why do you two look like this?"

Chen Chuyao considered her words and said, "The Qingzhu Oiran has a relationship with us. When we arrived at Jiukui City, we happened to meet her choosing a husband at Qingzhu Tower, so we went to have a look."

Gu Deman frowned and said thoughtfully: "When did you two have this relationship with her?"

After Chen Chuyao told the time of entering, meeting, and leaving the city, Gu Deman was stunned and said: "The Qingzhu Oiran was killed on the day you left!"

He asked urgently: "Then have you encountered a man wearing a red cloak?"

Su Xuan nodded.

On the night when Qingzhu Oiran chose her husband, it was the devil in the red cloak who got the beauty and even provoked him, but no bigger conflict broke out.

Gu Deman said in a deep voice: "If what I predict below is correct, that person is the culprit in this case - Yan Weiyi."

"Yan Weiyi?"

It seems that the "Yan Yi" that the devil introduced himself to at that time was not his real name, but just a pseudonym, Su Han pondered.

Gu Deman nodded and continued: "This person is the most outstanding figure among the disciples of Chuanxin Palace. He is not very old, and his cultivation has reached the late stage of the third realm, which is one level higher than his palace master. "

He paused and added: "Some people say that his cultivation level was accumulated by taking blood alchemy. The actual situation cannot be tested."

He shook his head and continued: "He was very ruthless in his attacks, adhering to the consistent style of Chuanxin Palace. Killing people must take their hearts. The method is consistent with the death of Qingzhu Oiran. Moreover, the Oiran's way of choosing a lover Wan, it happened to be him who was chosen - no, based on the results, it should be said that he chose Qingzhu Oiran.

"According to the maid's confession, after Yan Weiyi and Qingzhu Oiran spent a day together, they disappeared the next day, leaving only the latter's body.

"Moreover, no one was killed after Qingzhu Oiran. It seems that after killing her, Yan Weiyi ran away."

After he finished speaking, he fell into silence, allowing Su Han and the others to digest the information.

Chen Chuyao opened her mouth slightly, but she did not expect that after leaving Jiukui City, the Qingzhu Oiran who had a close relationship with her would die tragically.

Although she was still drunk at the time, she vaguely remembered that Qingzhu Oiran was a very beautiful woman and was also very good at music.Moreover, when the latter found out that she was drunk, he specially ordered someone to prepare sobering soup for her. He was a kind-hearted person.

Chen Chuyao asked: "Then, have you caught Yan Weiyi?"

Gu Deman shook his head and said, "No. But that day, some people said they saw a small boat carrying a man in red heading east, while others said it was heading northeast..."

Gu Deman continued to talk about his journey.

In Jiukui City, he only got the characteristics of the "man in red cloak", so he suspected that the perpetrator was Yan Weiyi.

So he sent a summons back to the Sifang Prison headquarters in Jiukui City, reported the matter in detail, and asked the practitioners to arrest the head for support.He told Gu Zhen that it would be best to ask for help from the Immortal Sects to see if they could send some disciples out to punish the evil.

The reason why he wanted to ask Xianzong for help was because he knew that if his father found out that Yan Weiyi was the one who committed the crime, his father would do it himself, and he actually didn't want his father to be in danger.

If the Immortal Sect can send practitioners from the Four Realms or even higher levels, they can solve this matter more perfectly.

After passing the news, he thought for a moment and decided to continue the investigation, but he had to be very careful every step of the way.

He can only hang far behind Yan Weiyi to provide clues for the subsequent practitioners to catch their heads.

After making his decision, he chose to travel northeast.Because in his opinion, going northeast is close to the Lushan Mountains, and Yan Weiyi can hide there very well.

Moreover, there happened to be a city called Huaizhu City in the northeast, and he was worried that Yan Weiyi would go there to continue committing crimes.

After a long journey to Huaizhu City, after investigation, no trace of Yan Weiyi was found. It seemed that he was pursuing the wrong direction.

But it was not all without gain. In Huaizhu City, there were also traces of suspected Chuanxin Palace people's activities, but some time had passed.

Based on the clues, he learned that the perpetrator in Huaizhu City was traveling in the southeast direction.

Gu Deman took out the map and compared the direction of travel of the Huaizhu City perpetrator and Yan Weiyi, and was shocked to find that the intersection of their routes was located in the area around the Flame Mountain.

Both clues pointed to the Flame Mountain. Gu Deman reported this discovery back to the headquarters, and then set off again to the Flame Mountain.

There is only one city around the Flame Mountain: Shouyan City.

When he entered Shouyan City, he found that the people in the city were panicked. He immediately went to the City Lord's Mansion, revealed his identity, and asked what happened in the city.

The city lord told him that there had been some heart-breaking incidents in Shouyan City recently. The methods of committing the crimes were very bad, and they seemed to choose people at random, so the citizens were very panicked.

According to the city lord, there was more than one criminal, ranging from ordinary warriors to practitioners. As for the specific number, they did not know.

Gu Deman stayed in the city for several days and witnessed several new murders with his own eyes.

Once, the person who pierced the heart palace was discovered during the attack, and the second-level practitioners of the city lord's mansion arrived in time. However, after a fierce battle, the practitioners of the city lord's mansion were defeated and had their heart removed.

Gu Deman once again sent an urgent message to Gu Zhen, who also replied that the Qingji Sword Sect had sent disciples to eliminate the evil.

Seeing that the guarding cultivator was dead and the situation was completely out of control, the Lord of Shouyan City also sent a message to the Zhou royal family, requesting assistance.

The royal family of the Great Zhou Dynasty re-sent the practitioners and ordered the city lord to keep all the merchant ships passing through Shouyan City, and everyone who entered the city needed to be carefully interrogated.

Merchant ships entering the city were not allowed to leave the city to prevent evildoers from sneaking into the merchant ships and escaping.

Therefore, Gu Deman and the city lord waited patiently for help to arrive.

At the same time, the number of heart-breaking incidents in Wuyi Town at the foot of the Flame Mountain is slowly increasing.

Nearly a decade after the summons, that is, two days ago, help from the Qing Chi Sword Sect and the Great Zhou royal family arrived almost at the same time.

The Qing Chi Sword Sect only sent one swordsman disciple, while the Great Zhou royal family sent three practitioners.

Within two days after their arrival, they successfully killed three criminals from Chuanxin Palace, which slightly curbed the deterioration of the heart-dissection incident and allowed Shouyan City to breathe.

Sitting here for two days, Shouyan City has been peaceful, but the situation in Wuyi Town has not improved.

Gu Deman guessed that that was the main place for people from Chuanxin Palace to attack, and suggested that the troops should be divided into two groups, so that the royal family's reinforcements could rush there first, while the Sword Sect disciples would continue to sit there for one day and set out again tomorrow.

His suggestion was adopted, and royal help rushed to Wuyi Town today.Coincidentally, a merchant ship entered the city today, so he came to investigate with the officers and soldiers of the city lord's palace.

Then, he met Su Han here.

After listening to Gu Deman's journey, Su Han and the others already knew why he appeared here.

Su Han pondered for a moment and suddenly asked: "Why did they gather here to commit murder?"

　Let’s gather the previous clues first.

　　Then continue to ask for recommendations, collections, further reading, and all data!Grateful!
