Let you test the disciple!Not cleaning the door!

What she cares more about is the current situation in the capital, and this so-called homicide case.

Compared with some fanatical fans in Yaori Xianzong, Ma Buping's reaction was even too ordinary.

"The previous matter was just a trivial matter, and the swindling casual cultivator also paid the price for it, so there is no need to discuss it."

Hearing that Xiao Zizhu didn't mean to offend the entire casual cultivator group, Ma Buping was also relieved.

What's wrong with me, it can be regarded as resolving the misunderstanding and conflict between the follow-up visit and the casual cultivator group, right?

In any case, these casual cultivators have been investigating for almost half a year, and they must have more information.

"His Royal Highness is kind and holy."

"Don't talk about polite words. I only want to solve one problem when I come to the capital this time, and that is the murder of ghosts. There is nothing special about the information in the hands of the government. You casual cultivators have been investigating for so long. Did you find anything?"

Xiao Zizhu didn't hesitate, and immediately asked what he was most interested in.

As for Conscious Soul, who is that, unfamiliar, really unfamiliar.

The atmosphere in the room eased, and Ma Buping and Hua Niangzi also sat down beside Xiao Zizhu.

Ma Buping said so, and then smiled wryly.

"In the eyes of ordinary people, we are immortals, but only we know what level we are. We haven't been able to build a foundation for more than ten years, and we may have no hope of golden core in this life. At best, we are just stronger warriors. .”

Ma Buping thought for a moment, and then said little by little what he knew.

"To tell you the truth, Her Majesty, we haven't found out anything about this matter. After all, the strength of our casual cultivator group is too weak, and our leader is only at the peak of Foundation Establishment."

"We only caught some little ghosts, and we knew that there might be people behind, but the deeper clues were gone. In order to avoid victims, we arranged a patrol table, and there were a certain number of casual cultivators every night. Patrol in the city, doing so has indeed reduced the number of victims."

"Is it just a reduction, meaning that you organized manned night patrols, but the criminals still succeeded in committing crimes?"

"So you didn't find anything?"

Xiao Zizhu also felt a little speechless when he heard the words. This group of casual cultivators have been busy with something for the past six months.

"That's right... the capital is too big after all. We don't have enough manpower to take care of the entire capital. However, the number of victims has indeed decreased a lot. Since we started patrolling, the number of victims has been reduced by almost half. .”

When Ma Buping said this, he couldn't help puffing out his chest.

He really wanted to say that their casual cultivators didn't fish for fish, and they did do some practical things.

Xiao Zizhu frowned slightly, and the clue was broken again, while Li Mu beside him was rubbing his teacup with a playful look on his face.

"You said, could it be someone behind the scenes who took the initiative to reduce the number of murders?"

Chapter 215 The Dragon King's Son-in-Law

"Master... did your husband see something?"

Subconsciously, she planned to call Master, but suddenly realized that she and Li Mu were husband and wife, and Xiao Zizhu blushed again and changed the address.

Before, in front of my parents, I felt nothing to call my master by such a title, but now, it was in front of two outsiders.

Moreover, these two outsiders are still casual cultivators, so it is not guaranteed that their title of master will spread throughout the cultivation world of Nanfuzhou.

Hua Niangzi and Ma Buping also looked at Li Mu curiously, although they didn't know who the man in front of them was or what his identity was.

However, as a casual cultivator, observing words and expressions is undoubtedly a basic skill, and they can clearly see that the Dragon Goddess is mainly based on this man.

"But if it is said that this is a demon cultivator who is killing people, offering sacrifices and practicing kung fu, the number of people killed is too small. There are more than 100 people in half a year, and one person a day. What kind of kung fu can be practiced so simply? "

Cultivation is a process of constantly absorbing the aura of heaven and earth to strengthen oneself.

And sacrifice is to plunder the essence of other people's bodies, but if there is a demon cultivator doing this kind of thing, there will be thousands of victims.

As for whether it was because the other party was her husband, or for some other reason, I don't know.

"It's not that I saw something, it just feels very strange. At present, there must be a cultivator of unknown strength behind the series of things that happened in the capital."

Several people around nodded in agreement, and Li Mu continued.

Compared with blood cultivators, soul cultivators prefer to hunt and torture humans.

There are many options for blood cultivation, but for soul cultivation, the human soul is undoubtedly the most effective.

No matter how you look at it, this guy who did it in the capital doesn't look like a blood cultivator or a soul cultivator, or in other words, he doesn't seem to kill people for the sake of practicing kung fu.

After all, the flesh and blood of ordinary people does not actually contain much aura, and the effect may not be as good as that of some spirit beasts.

The only advantage of using ordinary people for sacrifices is probably the large number.

Also, because of being favored by the Dao of Heaven, even an ordinary person has an extremely powerful soul.

It is true that most of the time, when solving crimes, we want to find the motive for committing the crime, but there are not no criminals who have no motive and rely solely on their hobbies and interests.

In other words, hobbies and interests are the motivation of the prisoner.

"It's just an idea, and it may not be right. Let's assume that the people who committed these cases in the capital simply killed people for pleasure. He killed some people cruelly, just to see the reaction of others, and he The goal has also been achieved, and the people in the capital are panicked and shrouded in fear."

More like... Interest?

It doesn't seem surprising that there are a few guys with psychological problems among the cultivators who like to kill people for fun.

Thinking of this, Li Mu's thoughts became much more open.

After Li Mu finished speaking, several people around fell silent and began to think about the possibility of this situation.

After a while, Xiao Zizhu looked at his master and said.

"If my husband's conjecture is correct, then the strength of the people behind the scenes should not be very strong, probably at the level of Jindan to Yuanying."

"Yes, indeed it is."

Ma Buping nodded, and felt that Li Mu's analysis made sense.

"So the number of killings is meaningless to him. What is meaningful is the reaction of the people around him. So after you scattered cultivators took action, he reduced the number of killings. It may be because he is afraid of being discovered by you, or he may be aware of it. If you don't restrain yourself, maybe the next one will be the people from the three sects."

The whereabouts of these rogue cultivators are uncertain, and they are often alone. If the other party chooses to hunt and kill the rogue cultivators, they may really have no resistance.

As for whether the killing of Loose Cultivator is considered a big move, and whether it will attract the attention of the three sects, we will know after seeing Shipo's death.

Who cares about the life and death of your casual cultivator? If thousands or tens of thousands of ordinary people die, the three sects may still take a look.But when the casual cultivator died, they probably wouldn't even take a look at it.

"It stands to reason that this should be the case. After all, if the strength is stronger, it won't be able to do this kind of depreciation. And there are some things that don't make sense, such as creating panic. If you want to create panic, hunt and kill these people in the eyes of ordinary people. Wouldn't the effect of immortals be better? After all, these casual cultivators came to the capital in batches, right?"

When Li Mu said this, he looked at the two casual cultivators at the side, which made both of them excited, and felt a wave of fear in their hearts.

That's right, I just wanted to track down the murderer, and I took it for granted that the opponent's strength was mediocre, but no matter how mediocre, it would be easy to kill a few of them for refining Qi.

"A total of 78 people, has anyone been attacked?"

"That's not true. We've only encountered ghosts wandering around the capital a few times. Those ghosts barely have the ability to kill people. It's even hard to tell whether they were born on their own or were deliberately arranged by someone. After all, the ghosts in the capital The place looks glamorous on the surface, but there must be a lot of things going on behind the scenes, and it is normal for some ghosts with resentment to be born."

"Then what about the fifteen casual cultivators who left? Why did they leave and where did they go? Can you still contact them now?"

"Speaking of which, in half a year, how many people are there in your casual cultivator group?"

"Up to now, there are a total of 78 casual cultivators who have come to the capital, and 62 have left one after another. Including the dead souls, there are a total of [-] casual cultivators active in the capital."

When Ma Buping said this, Li Mu seemed to have noticed something, and continued to ask.

It should...not be so.

"Things seem to be getting more and more interesting. How long has it been since the last homicide?"

"About half a month."

"This... everyone is a casual cultivator, and they are usually lone rangers. They are used to being alone. If it weren't for the incident in the capital this time, it would be impossible to gather together. It may be difficult to contact them."

When Ma Buping said this, he also realized why Li Mu asked such a question, and a trace of fear and disbelief flashed in his eyes.

What if the fifteen casual cultivators who left were all dead?

When Li Mu said so, Ma Buping and Hua Niangzi nodded.

They were a little confused and a little scared, obviously not able to keep up with Li Mu's train of thought.

"I give you a task to find a way to contact the fifteen casual cultivators who left."

"How long was the longest interval between the murders?"

"20 days."

"That is to say, there are still five days left, and the murderer is likely to strike again?"

Xiao Zizhu is the Dragon Goddess, but what should Li Mu call her?

"Just call me, son-in-law of the Dragon King."

The corners of Li Mu's mouth raised, revealing an evil and charming smile.

"what……"

"What, is there a problem?"

"No, no, that lord..."

After much deliberation, I still felt that the title of the son-in-law of the Dragon King was not pleasant, so Ma Buping simply changed it to the husband of His Highness the Holy Maiden.

Hua Niangzi at the side rolled her eyes angrily.

"How do I know? The water is too deep for this matter. I regret this trip. I am trembling all over now."

Ma Buping and Hua Niangzi came out of the room with confused faces, obviously they didn't get the idea of ​​what Li Mu said.

But soon, the two left the matter of the Dragon King's son-in-law behind, because this was not the point.

"Is what you said about the Dragon King's son... the husband of His Royal Highness the Holy Maiden true or false?"

But soon she came to her senses again, and looked at Ma Buping with an ambiguous expression.

"Well, you are not fair. I said why you are against my mother everywhere. It turns out that you have taken a fancy to my mother. Tell me earlier, it's not like my mother won't accept your business."

"Hua Niangzi, what nonsense are you talking about, I only care about you because we are grasshoppers on the same boat now! Let's think about how to complete the mission of Her Majesty's husband!"

"Don't be afraid... I'm by your side and I will protect you."

Seeing Miss Hua's soft and weak appearance, Ma Buping couldn't help approaching her, and then gently embraced the woman in his arms.

The latter is obviously also a frequent visitor of throwing arms and hugging, and his movements appear to be very skilled.

She has seen a lot of men like Ma Buping, he is usually well-dressed, a gentleman, and when he is on the bed, hehe.

But soon, she also became dejected.

That's right, Li Mu's task, how are they going to complete it?

Ma Buping shuddered for a moment, and then let go of his palm, putting on a dignified and righteous look.

"Tsk, prudish."

Hua Niangzi pursed her lips, looking a bit dismissive.

"Aren't you the same, I didn't see you getting tough."

"Bah, I'm a bitch, are you a bitch too! And at least I didn't just kneel down!"

"Okay, okay, let's not talk about this, our casual cultivators originally gathered together temporarily, and I was not someone's subordinate, so why did I betray you?"

If you want to contact those casual cultivators who have left, you must return to the casual cultivator alliance.

But the question is, didn't they come out to seek justice for Shipo, bring the person who killed him back to the Loose Cultivation Alliance, and ask them to apologize.

"You fool, you swore allegiance without saying a word."

"This kind of thing is what a man like me should do. Miss Hua, please wait for news from me in the Xiao residence!"

After finishing speaking, Ma Buping left Xiao's mansion, which made Hua Niangzi look at her with admiration.

This bull-nosed man is not really useless.

"That's fine, you go back and talk to Ren Qiusheng, this task will trouble you."

Hua Niangzi waved her hand at Ma Buping with a smile, as if she planned to stay in Xiao's residence.

Ma Buping froze there in embarrassment, but soon the man became stiff.

Although he showed great courage in front of Lady Hua, after leaving the Xiao Mansion, Ma Buping still felt a little weak all over, and his hands and feet were cold.

It wasn't because he was afraid to go back and face Ren Qiusheng.

Ren Qiusheng is just at the pinnacle of Foundation Establishment, no matter whether it is the Dragon Goddess or her husband, they are at least the strength of Jindan or Nascent Soul.

I just don't know that he treats me...
