Chapter 239：

Gu Qingming was already very curious when she was speaking in Nanhua, and when Yue Zhao finished speaking, she asked hurriedly.

"We were very surprised when we met, but those black feather crows do exist, and the corpses are still being thrown in that street." Nan Hua swallowed the vegetables in his mouth and said.

"Things are getting more and more complicated. This is the first day we came to Canghui City, and we discovered so many things that are wrong. This task is far from as simple as the city lord of Canghui described." Yue Zhao The corners of the lips curled up slightly, and his eyes flickered.

"I am becoming more and more curious about what kind of person the City Lord of Canghui City is. What is the purpose of the letter he sent to Baihu Holy Land for help?" Gu Qing said with interest.

The reaction of other people was similar to that of Gu Qing. They were all aroused by this incident, and they became more and more curious about the identity of the person behind the scenes. Now they are not completing the task to deal with the competition, but their inner thought To know the truth behind this.

After dinner, the sky was completely dark, and the entire Canghui City was quieter. If Gu Qing and the others could overlook the entire city, they would find that except for the rooms of a few of them, the entire Canghui City was dark, even the city. The same is true of the main palace.

The night is dark and the wind is high, which is a good time to do bad things.

Gu Qing and the others did not go out after nightfall, but waited until midnight, when most of them were already asleep.

As in the daytime, they still act separately.

Gu Qing and Jun Wu went to Xicheng District to investigate the situation of the families of those who died.

The two quickly shuttled through the city of Canghui. In order to cooperate with the action, they both changed into black night clothes and covered their faces.

I don't know that it's because of the weather or other reasons. Even the moon doesn't exist at night. If they hadn't had their eyesight at night, and their memory was good, the two might not be able to find the homes of those who died.

Soon, they arrived at the door of the first house they found.

The two looked at each other, and at the same time they crossed the wall and entered. The dead man’s coffin was placed in the yard. After they entered, they saw it at a glance. Beside the coffin, there was a half-sized child guarding him, and he was dizzy. Sleeping, Jun Wu came behind the person, knocked him out with a hand knife, carefully put it away, and then came to the coffin with Gu Qing.

Gu gently stretched out his hand and pushed it, and found that the coffin board was just covered on it, and it was not nailed down. She and Jun Wu lifted the board together and put it aside gently, then looked inside the coffin.

Because it was too dark, even if they could see the corpse at night, they couldn’t see clearly when the corpse was in the coffin. The two of them thought about it, and Gu lightly sealed their hands and quickly placed an enchantment around them and the coffin. Others can't see their situation in the enchantment.

Jun Wu took out a Ye Mingzhu, just to see the situation inside the coffin clearly.

"Depending on the situation, this person should be an earlier victim. He has been dead for about seven days, and his body has been slightly decomposed. He had his heart removed, and his cultivation base should be at Tier 6 before he died." Although the enchantment was there again, Jun Wu's voice was not loud, and he roughly said his own judgment.

Gu nodded lightly, agreeing to Jun Wu's judgment, "As the guy at the inn said before, apart from the heart being removed, there were no other wounds and no poisoning, as if he died in an instant."

The two looked at each other, their expressions a bit solemn.

After the investigation of the corpse was completed, the two of them did not delay. After withdrawing from the shop, they covered the coffin board and went to the next house.

...

Nanhua and Mu Chen went to the Nancheng District that they had explored during the day. When they got there, they first went to the place where Black Feather Crow was killed before to take a look. The body of Black Feather Crow was still there, and the two went to what they found. A chamber of commerce of dead people.

At this time, there was still silence in the Chamber of Commerce, but some breathing sounds could still be heard, and it was obvious that everyone in the Chamber of Commerce was sleeping.

The people in the Chamber of Commerce are not like those civilians. Their cultivation level is not bad, and they have a lot of money. Since the accident in the city, they have opened the formations in their yards. Of course, the formations they set up are not too powerful. , But at least it can have a warning effect.

Nanhua discovered the existence of the formation during the day. This formation was very rough in his eyes. He could just think of a dozen ways to break the formation at will, but they are not here to crack the formation. Instead, he wanted to go in to investigate the situation, so he took Mu Chen into the yard along with the footwork required by the formation, and found the room where the coffin was placed.

After cautiously entering, the two found that the coffin turned out to be open. Looking at each other, Nanhua set up a barrier to isolate it from the outside world, took out an illuminated lamp, and looked inside the coffin.

"This person should have only been dead for a day or two. Except for the wound on his stomach, there were no wounds at all, and he was not poisoned. He didn't seem to have struggled before he died, and his cultivation level should be around the seventh rank." Mu Chen glanced around and said.

"It was his liver that was taken away, and it should be taken after death," Nan Hua added, "The question is, how did he die? No wounds, no poisoning? Can't even be a half-step immortal. Come on?"

Mu Chen looked at Nan Hua, then at the corpse, and shrugged, indicating that he didn't know.

The two checked again and found nothing else, so they could only retract the enchantment, leave quietly, and go to the next house.

...

Yue Zhao, Yun Ran, and Zhuo Tingqiu went to investigate separately. Each one had one family. The first one they found was the one that Yue Zhao entered. The yard of this house is very large, just like those of the merchants. This There are also formations in the yard, and there is more than one. After all, there are many people in these families, and it is not surprising that there are those who are proficient in formations.

Fortunately, Yue Zhao and the others are learning everything. Even if they are not as proficient in the formation method as Nanhua, they know a lot. The people who set up the formation method are obviously not particularly clever. At least they can find the way to enter the formation method at the level of Yue Zhao. Ways not to disturb others.

It took him a quarter of an hour to find the room where the coffin was parked.

After entering the room cautiously, he immediately placed an enchantment to isolate the room from the outside, so that the outsiders would not know what happened in the room.

When he turned around, he was surprised to find that there were two coffins in this room, and the temperature in the room was very low. It seemed that the family had placed a lot of ice basins to protect the corpse from decay. Keep a relatively low temperature inside.

He first walked to the coffin on the left and saw a young woman lying inside, who looked like seventeen or eighteen years old. Because the body was wearing clothes and the wound on it was not visible, he thought about it and turned to the side. Of the coffin.

In the other coffin lies the body of a middle-aged man. The man is about forty years old. It looks a bit similar to the woman just now. The two should be related by blood. He looked at the man. After finding the wound, he found that the man had his kidney taken away. His eyes flickered, and he looked at it carefully, and found no traces of poisoning. There were no other wounds and he had to give up.

He did not remove the enchantment, and left the yard to find the side that Yun Ran was investigating, and then asked Yun Ran to help him look at the woman's body.

The woman's heart was taken away, and like the man, there were no other wounds and no poisoning.

After investigating all the houses here, Yue Zhao thought for a while, and took Yun Ran and Zhuo Tingqiu into the city lord's mansion in Canghui City.

As the most powerful organization in Canghui City, the City Lord's Mansion is also very tightly guarded. It not only opened the defense and early warning formation, but also the guards took turns patrolling. This was Yue Zhao's first team to operate at night.

Avoiding formations and patrols, they sneaked into the largest and most luxurious courtyard in the City Lord's Mansion. According to the usual practice, this should be the courtyard where the City Lord lived.

When they first entered the yard, Yue Zhao's footsteps suddenly stopped and stopped Yun Ran and Zhuo Tingqiu. In their puzzled eyes, they put their index finger on their mouth and made a silence. Gesture.

He twisted his eyebrows and looked to the side. He found nothing. He lowered his head and thought about it, but he still didn't move.

He felt a malicious gaze looking at them all the time, and intuitively told him that if he moved again, something unexpected might happen.

But they can't really stop here, so they can be easily spotted.

After thinking for a while, he suddenly thought of what Nanhua said in the afternoon. He looked around again, and finally his eyes fell on a tree by the wall where a black feather crow was living there.

The black feather crow is black and hard to find in the dark, but Nanhua mentioned it in the afternoon, so Yue Zhao paid special attention to the second search. He still saw the little white white eyes of the black feather crow. , It is not easy.

Seeing Black Feather Crow, he knew that the malicious gaze just came from Black Feather Crow, and his brows were frowned.

He thought for a while, stepped back, and the malicious gaze immediately disappeared. He knew that the Black Feather Crow should be staring at it to prevent people from breaking into this yard.

However, this is the courtyard where the city lord lives, but Black Feather Crow is guarding this courtyard. No matter how you look at it, the relationship between the two is abnormal.

This also made Yue Zhao firmer in his determination to explore this yard!
