Chapter 167 The Case
In the dead of night, only the sound of insects remains.

In a village not too far from the official road, most of the villagers had turned off their lights to rest at this time.Unless you are lucky and you are very close to the door and window of a certain house, you may hear some heavy panting and vague groans.

The so-called do as the Romans do, since it is a lodging, even if it is to discuss important matters, the lights in the room are adjusted to be extremely dim, just enough to barely see the faces of the people around the table.

At the beginning, Jiang Qianyu joked secretly: Is this tune the rhythm of telling a ghost story?
Unexpectedly, Elder Chen's opening, combined with the current scene, really made people feel a little panicked.

"The task we accepted this time was to go to the neighboring Qubai County of Longgu County to investigate a massacre of a village. At the same time, a team of five county patrol troops who happened to be patrolling there, and a team that was The Escort team resting in the village, no one survived."

Jiang Qianyu's heart moved: "Is it the team of Guihe Escort?"

Elder Chen gave Jiang Qianyu a strange look, shook his head, and said, "No, it's the Rongyuan Escort Agency, which specializes in escorts on the eastern front. Take the lead, our Dongrong Academy and our Daoshan Academy as assistants, together with the local government and people from the Rongyuan Escort Bureau, jointly investigate."

"The two counties of Longgu and Dongrong have reasons to participate, so why is Daoshan County invited to participate?" Jiang Qianyu asked puzzled.

Instructor Zhang, who had been indifferent to Jiang Qianyu from the very beginning, said impatiently: "If a case is to be tried by multiple counties, more than three counties must supervise each other."

The strange thing of being suddenly stuffed into a student already made Teacher Zhang, who has always been serious, not very happy, not to mention that the student keeps asking questions.If it wasn't for the Palace Master's order, and he was convinced by Elder Chen's character, he might have exploded on the spot.

And Mr. Chen is also a very well-behaved person. This time, he will be lenient. I think it is entirely because of Jiang Qianyu who broke through the yellow class in the third grade, and his cheap senior brother, Ouyang Xinhao, for the sake of winning honor for the school. superior.

In order to be able to take this mission of the school, Jiang Qianyu showed off his Huang-level kung fu in front of Elder Feng and the Palace Master.And soon, this will not be a secret, because Jiang Qianyu will rely on this reliance to be declared the next seat in the third-year competition at the school.

"Not only that." Elder Chen concealed Teacher Zhang's dissatisfaction indiscriminately, and said with a smile: "It is also because of Ouyang Xinhao, a student from our school, that he won the ninth place in the school competition in various counties, which made the royal family feel happy. I have a good impression of our Dosan County."

"Elder Chen, let's talk about the details of the case itself." Instructor Zhou also hurried out to change the subject.

"We still need to go to the scene to investigate the specific situation. However, according to the preliminary results obtained by the Longgu County government and the school, the massacre of the village did not happen at night, but should happen to be at sunset. Village In many houses in the village, traces and items that were about to be prepared for meals were found. The teams of the patrol army and bodyguard bureau in the county town probably also wanted to have dinner in the village."

"So, it should be a temporary act?" Deacon Mao guessed.

"Otherwise, it should be much easier to choose to act in the middle of the night, and there will be more time to destroy the scene." Elder Chen nodded. "You should have heard of the terrain of Longgu County. There are raised obstacles all around. Only the east and west official roads are the most accessible and prosperous. And this Liqiao Village, which was brutally murdered, happens to be on the side of the east road. Once you pass Meal time, even at night, there are definitely a lot of pedestrians coming and going."

"Even so, to destroy a village in a short period of time, including a bodyguard team, there should be a lot of people. Isn't there anything suspicious?" Deacon Song also tried hard to deliberate.

"The fact is that there is none." Elder Chen said deeply. "None of the passers-by was stopped, and no one saw any suspicious people. From this, it can be inferred that the attacking party should be understaffed. Otherwise, with their strength to slaughter a village, they would be able to hold the crossing and block it for a period of time. It is more calm, so as not to leave a nearly complete scene. And with fewer people, it is convenient to break it up into parts and bypass the official road, so the probability of being discovered will be greatly reduced."

"Insufficient manpower... So, this team should all be at the elite level?" Deacon Li was surprised. "It's no wonder that the three counties need to be tried at the same time. Criminals of this level are not enough for ordinary government servants."

"Deacon Liu, what do you think?" Elder Chen turned to Sister Qiuyun who had been silent all this time and asked.

Originally, this kind of task, in the process of completing it, was also a good opportunity to inspect the deacon.As one of the most promising deacons in this group, Liu Qiuyun will inevitably receive more attention.

It's just her reaction, but she doesn't deserve the attention: "Me? Uh..."

Looking at sister Qiuyun's appearance of just recovering, Jiang Qianyu said that he was innocent and helpless.Because he knew that this state had not changed since sister Qiuyun saw him.

Of course, it doesn't mean that Qiuyun is completely immersed in it, neither listening nor thinking.It's just that some obvious clues have been caught by the three male deacons in time and first. Qiu Yun, who is not very focused, naturally can't think about the deeper meaning behind the appearance.

Fortunately, Jiang Qianyu is a bystander, fortunately, his gaze jumped out of the category of Yanguo very early, and fortunately, he happened to be sitting on Qiuyun's right hand.

Not caring about how sister Qiuyun would react, Jiang Qianyu secretly grabbed sister Qiuyun's right hand, spread her palm, quickly and forcefully wrote the word "foreign" on it, and paused for a while Then, I repeated it a second time.

Because Jiang Qianyu also knew that in an unexpected situation, sister Qiuyun might not have the heart to judge the words he wrote the first time.

As he expected, if it wasn't for the fact that there were so many people present at the first time, Qiu Yun would have run away in embarrassment!

Fortunately, the second time, she finally understood Jiang Qianyu's intentions, and carefully understood the meaning of it...

"Hmm... I think this should be done by warriors from other countries." Sister Qiuyun said after pondering for a while.

Elder Chen, who was a little disappointed at first, suddenly brightened his eyes: "Tell me the reason."

Seeing Elder Chen's encouraging eyes, Qiuyun immediately regained confidence, and at the same time secretly thanked Jiang Qianyu for his help.

Just thinking of Jiang Qianyu, Qiu Yun realized that it seemed that he was still holding her hand?He hurriedly pulled out his hand, and pretended to stroke the hair beside his ears. Qiuyun said, "If the Yanguo forces suddenly discover something and need to destroy the village, they can plan slowly. Besides... this way , is also too violent, quite like killing a thousand by mistake, and never letting go of one person, and only warriors from other countries will have no scruples."

"Deacon Liu is right." Elder Chen nodded with a smile, and then said solemnly: "The royal family is also worried about this, so this time, the royal capital will also send people, but it will be explicit or covert, sooner or later. It’s beyond what we can know.”

I'm afraid the royal family's worry has something to do with the battle for sending students at the end of the year...

etc!It seems... Ouyang Xinhao's training place has always been kept secret somewhere?Will it...

Jiang Qianyu was startled.

Whether it is or not, things are not so simple this time...
