Chapter 938, Tracking

When Wu Heng and Shannara heard the information collected by the fifth princess, they reacted immediately.

There are no necromancers.

In other words, the other party has not found a suitable necromancer yet and is in a ghost state.

The direction of the previous investigation was biased.

"Is there any more detailed information?" Wu Heng continued to ask.

The fifth princess replied, "He is a man, about 1.7 meters tall, and he sounds young. He was wearing a hood that covered his face very well, so I couldn't see his face. He was also very careful in what he did."

In other words, the other party is intentionally concealing his or her identity.

Wu Heng was silent and thoughtful. Shannella took over the topic and continued to ask, "Can you find this person?"

"We have people looking for him, but based on the current intelligence, it may take some time." The fifth princess said helplessly.

1.7 meters tall, male voice.

Although this intelligence provided them with a direction, it was also a little too ordinary.

The street can meet this requirement.

The only thing that is certain is that the other party is buying items to nourish ghosts.

This can be compared to the ghost killing.

Shannara pondered for a moment and said, "How about luring him out? For example, we can spread some news and say that we have the rare item he wants."

"Under normal circumstances, this method is fine, but at this moment, the other party will definitely not be fooled."

His own ghost searched the entire city but found no trace of other ghosts.

If we release this news now, it will only let the other party know that we have found out about their acquisition of rare items, and they will only hide deeper or escape from the city directly.

In fact, given the current situation, it is not certain whether the other party has left today.

Shannella thought about it and continued to ask, "Do you think the one who has a grudge against you is the ghost, or the man who bought the rare items?"

Now the two are separated. The one who has a grudge against Wu Heng may be the ghost, or it may be the man who helps the ghost to purchase props.

Wu Heng thought for a moment and said, "The high-level professionals I killed had no ghosts that could escape. The enemy might be that man, but the whole incident is linked together, and the other party seems to be a vassal! It is also possible that the two of them cooperated, one to help with revenge, and the other to help buy props."

When it comes to ghosts, Wu Heng is quite confident.

For all professionals above level 18 who are killed, including the heroic pope, their souls will not be able to escape after their physical death.

I may not be the best among the professionals, but my ghost is definitely the best, and there are three of them.

Those who pose no threat will be controlled by Granda and put into the Magic Soul Pot as ritual materials. Those who pose a threat will be directly swallowed up.

Therefore, I couldn't figure out which ghost had a grudge against me, and as for the man, his identity was uncertain, so it might be that he was one of his relatives or friends whom I had killed.

"That makes sense." Shannara also nodded.

Putting aside the other possibilities, based on the current situation, this is the only possibility.

The two sat in the living room for a while.

"It's okay, don't worry." Wu Heng looked at the other person's worried expression and comforted him.

"Ah~!" Shannara sighed slightly.

Things are always going on.

Treasure Island has just started to show results due to the Snake Emblem Auction, and has not yet welcomed new tourists from other places.

Problems have arisen again in Netale City, and I'm afraid that the previous efforts will be hindered again.

Wu Heng smiled and said, "Don't worry, I'm a hero now, these things won't have much impact on me."

Shannella didn't have any better ideas, so she stood up and said, "I'm going to go back to my room and take a shower. We'll discuss it when I think of a solution."

"Okay!" Wu Heng nodded.

Shannala got up and went upstairs, while Wu Heng remained sitting in his seat.

He quickly sorted out the clues in his mind.

It can be said that the clue provided by the fifth princess is still very important, but this clue is not very helpful in finding the target.

How can I find the target based on this clue?

As he thought about it, his eyes narrowed.

Regarding intelligence matters, I have my own channels.

How could I forget about this?

He picked up the phone and dialed Lilith's number.

After two rings, the phone was connected and Lilith's very textured voice came through, "Well, go ahead!"

"Chief, what are you busy with?" Wu Heng started politely.

"If you didn't call me, I would have been resting. I heard that you went out again?" As Lilith spoke, there was the friction sound of the coffin lid being pushed open.

"We are planning to build a second church in Netale City," Wu Heng said with a smile.

"You are a little too impatient." Lilith said softly.

"The leader is right." Wu Heng said in agreement.

Then, both of them fell silent.

Lilith asked doubtfully, "Do you have anything else to do?"

"There is something I want your help with." Wu Heng said somewhat embarrassedly.

"Say it!"

Wu Heng thought for a moment and said, "I want to find someone in Neitale City, a man, about 1.7 meters tall. He bought a tool for nurturing ghosts in the market a few days ago."

"You want me to use the Whisperer to help you?" Lilith asked back.

A few days ago, Wu Heng wanted to build a database for the Secret Talkers' information, and now he wants to build an intelligence network for the Secret Talkers.

It always gives people a feeling of being watched.

"Ah! This is a very serious matter. I can think of you as the only one who can help me find the information." Wu Heng said directly.

Lilith said helplessly, "What happened? Tell me."

She was quite curious. Wu Heng had become a hero, so what serious things could happen if he went to a coastal city?

Wu Heng paused, but still said: "I held a banquet in the city to entertain the members of the association who investigated the case together, including Elder Tapani..."

"Be brief," Lilith interrupted.

Wu Heng said: "During the banquet, a priestess followed me into the study and broke her neck."

The other side fell silent again.

Then Lilith asked suspiciously, "You mean, a priest of the Church died in your study."

"Yes!" Wu Heng said.

"You killed him?" Lilith asked in a serious tone.

"How is that possible? I was framed, and I'm looking for the murderer behind the scenes." Wu Heng said immediately.

Lilith asked, "Can anyone kill a priest of the Church in the hero's study?"

"It was indeed my negligence." Wu Heng had nothing to say.

"Go on..." Lilith asked him to continue.

Wu Heng recounted the entire story that followed, including the information collected by the Fifth Princess.

After listening to this, Lilith took a deep breath and said, "How come you always get into trouble wherever you go."

"It's not my fault!" Wu Heng said.

Lilith pondered for a moment and said, "I understand. Prepare two silver coins, cut the triangular notch, and go to the tavern in the city..."

After listening to the other party's words, Wu Heng said directly: "Okay, I will go back in two days and tell you in detail then."

Lilith continued, "Have you written a report to the headquarters?"

"I have written it, but it has not been sent out yet."

"Just send it out normally, and I will tell Hadarayi in advance." Lily said.

Hadarai is an elven hero and the sword of justice.

"understand!"

After hanging up the phone, Wu Heng took out two silver coins and used his sword to split the gap. He put on his hood and said to the air, "Xiao Xiao, go tell Aunt Shannella that we are going out to investigate so that she doesn't have to worry."

"Okay!" Xiaoxiao agreed and went upstairs to tell Shannara the message.

After coming back again, Wu Heng took the three ghosts and left directly.

……

Treasure Island, Lilith's Mansion.

After hanging up the phone, Lilith sat on the chair with a frown on her face. She couldn't understand why the other party always caused trouble every time he went out.

This time, during a trip to Netale City, a female priestess died.

"Why do I always get into trouble?" Lilith muttered.

I feel like Wu Heng is someone's naughty child, the kind that is impossible to keep an eye on.

But when I think about it carefully, I feel there is nothing wrong with it.

In the eyes of these heroes, heroes in their 20s are indeed no different from children.

I thought about everything in my mind and felt that if this matter was not handled properly, the situation would get worse.

He sighed softly, took out a brocade box from the space ring, and the shriveled black-haired crow was taken out.

He pierced his fingertip, and drops of blood dripped onto the crow's body. Its tightly closed eyes lit up one by one.

Then he stood aside lively, looking at her with his eyes fixed.

Lilith told the crow about Wu Heng in detail, and the crow disappeared into the void.

After a long while, the crow reappeared and spoke in human language, "Tell him to find the murderer as soon as possible. I will hold a meeting tomorrow. Don't let him have conflicts with the Church again."

After the crow finished speaking, his body stiffened and he lay back down.

Lilith put the crow away.

He looked out the window again.

How can I control him? I can't even find him.

Moreover, Wu Heng should be asked to provide a mobile phone to our headquarters, as communication is too troublesome.

……

Oak Barrel Tavern.

Wu Heng walked into the tavern, and the noisy sounds and the smell of food and sweat hit him in the face.

There were quite a few guests sitting in the pub, drinking and chatting in a messy manner.

He glanced around the pub and walked straight to the front desk.

The obese proprietress wiped the wine glass while glancing at Wu Heng and asked, "Is the guest from out of town?"

"How did you know that?" Wu Heng asked.

"I know all the regular customers. You don't look like a local at first glance." The proprietress said with a smile, and then asked, "What would you like to drink, sir?"

Wu Heng glanced at the price written on the wooden board next to him, took out a few silver coins, put them on the table and pushed them in front of the other party, then knocked on the table three times casually.

The lady boss looked at the money pushed over and said with a smile, "What would you like to drink?"

"Honey bar." Wu Heng said.

The proprietress put the silver coins away and said, "You gave too much money. Do you want mead?"

“Add salt to the second cup.”

"Your taste is quite special." The proprietress said with a smile, and pointed to a seat in the corner. "Please sit over there and wait for a while. We will bring it to you later."

Wu Heng nodded, stood up and walked to a corner and sat down.

A small voice also sounded at the shoulder, "This is so troublesome, can't we just tell Sister Lilith that she asked us to come?"

"For these people, Lilith's level is too high. No one will believe it if I bring it up here." Wu Heng said directly.

"Okay!" Xiaoxiao nodded helplessly.

As they were talking, a young maid came over from the opposite side.

Two glasses of honey beer were placed on the other person's table, and then he said, "Your drink, guest."

Wu Heng handed a silver coin to the other party, who was delighted and said, "The sea god will bless you who are kind-hearted."

"But beer is only for those who observe morning prayers." Wu Heng handed a glass of beer to the maid.

The latter sat down, like a barmaid accompanying a chat.

The maid smiled and said, "My lord, is there anything?"

Wu Heng said, "I'm looking for someone from out of town, a man about 1.7 meters tall, who was looking for items that can nourish ghosts in the city some time ago."

Unlike the Five Princesses' intelligence network, the Whisperers collect all kinds of intelligence.

Especially a department under the association, they should pay attention to people buying ghost props everywhere.

The maid still kept smiling, and to outsiders, it looked like she was interacting with a generous drinker.

Putting it close to her ear, she whispered softly, "Please wait a moment. I'll be back soon."

After saying that, he stood up and left, walking quickly towards the kitchen.

Wu Heng waited for a while, and after finishing a glass of wine, the other party came back and sat in his arms again, whispering in his ear, "The Brilliant Hotel in the central area, the third room on the second floor."

"Is he still there?" Wu Heng continued to ask.

The other party said: "This is the latest information. We haven't received any relevant information about whether they have left or not."

"Okay, thank you." Wu Heng took out two silver coins and stuffed them into the other person's hand.

Then he stood up and walked out of the pub.

The maid began to clean up the wine glasses and tableware and sent them back to the kitchen.

……

Get out of the tavern.

Benny said softly, "The maid went to the basement. Someone was collecting intelligence there. It should be a fixed intelligence base. The highest level is level 11. The maid has a tool to identify lies. She confirmed that there was nothing wrong with you before contacting you."

"What kind of props?" Wu Heng asked.

Benny said: "I don't know. I only heard her and the level 11 manager say that there was nothing wrong with the props. I guess they were just trying to identify a lie."

Wu Heng nodded and continued, "Glenda, Bernie, go to the inn first and check. If you find the ghost, kill the man and control the ghost first."

"Okay!" The two ghosts nodded and rushed out.

Wu Heng nodded and walked quickly towards the central area.

On the way, Glenda and Benny flew back to meet them. Benny said, "The room is empty and has been cleaned."

Glenda said: "The window of that room faces the street leading to the City Lord's Mansion. It must have been chosen here on purpose."

Wu Heng's eyes narrowed slightly.

The room was empty. Did the other party leave so quickly?
We soon arrived at the hotel.

A middle-aged man came over with a smile and asked, "Guests, would you like to stay at the hotel?"

Wu Heng took out the association's emblem and said, "I'm from the association, investigating a wanted criminal. Take me to the third room on the second floor."

The middle-aged man did not dare to delay, "Please."

I took him up to the second floor and into the room.

It was indeed cleaned very well, and the mattress was folded and placed aside.

Wu Heng asked: "When did the person leave?"

"This morning."

Wu Heng continued to ask, "Do you know where he went?"

"He said he was a herbal medicine merchant and was going to the interior of the kingdom to do business. When he left the store, he went to the north gate." The boss said as he recalled.

Wu Heng walked around the room, opened the closet and looked inside, then looked under the bed.

The cleaning is really clean.

"Go and collect all the things that have been cleaned here. Don't leave anything behind."

The boss frowned, hesitated for a moment, and said, "Okay!"
