Jia Yu's Detective Case

People (monsters) are more powerful, and with the expansion of the team entering the mountain, Jia Yu is not so anxious.

All the monsters along the way were moved by Ah Liu's clever mouth, and they took the initiative to join the search team, in order to protect their common homeland.

There were too many monsters, so Jia Yu didn't ask them to search aimlessly all over the mountains and plains, but assigned tasks, mainly to ask familiar monsters in the passing places, which ones saw strangers or monks or Taoists who knew magic passed by.

This is the fastest way.

Since entering the forest, the magnetic field has changed, Hong Daochang's compass is inaccurate, not to mention there are so many monsters, which also affects his judgment, the search work can only rely on the monsters.

Fortunately, all the demons worked hard, and after ten days, Jia Yu finally got good news. A newly joined lion demon said that the valley where he lived was inhabited by humans.

Jia Yu hurriedly called the lion demon to her face:

"You said there is a village on the top of the mountain where you are?"

The lion demon said in a loud voice:

"I don't know if it's a village. Anyway, it didn't exist in the past. A group of people came here suddenly 30 years ago, and many people came here one after another."

Jia Yu's heart skipped a beat:

"How many people are there? Does anyone know spells?"

If there is no one who understands spells, I am afraid that I will not dare to go so deep in this land of goblins, and I will not be able to go. Judging from the confrontation between demons, Taoists, and monks, demons have their own way of sensing their spells.

"I heard from my friends that it seems that a Taoist priest brought a dozen or so apprentices. As for how many people there are... I went to some more a few days ago. It is estimated that there are about 2 people." The lion demon obviously understood.

"2 people?" Jia Yu frowned.

How big can a valley be for people to live in? Can it accommodate 2 people?

"Do they have crops?"

The lion demon thought for a while:

"It seems that there is no planting, and the environment there is not suitable for planting, because there are many mountains and rocks."

2 people live in a valley without farming, so what do they live on?

Also, who are they?Why live here?

"What's your plan?" Boss Cang looked at Jia Yu.

Jia Yu swallowed the words that came to her lips.

Since Boss Cang asked this question, he obviously disapproved of him taking these one hundred and eighty demons into a valley of 2 people.

Having been operating in the valley for decades, I knew with my toes that there must be an ulterior purpose. If I bumped into him head-on, it would not be to give away someone's head.

Jia Yu thought for a while:

"I definitely have to go. How can we be sure if it is the person we are looking for without seeing it with our own eyes? How can we be sure where the Hanba is? It's just that we have to think carefully about how to go..."

Boss Cang's face softened, as long as Jia Yu knew what was in his mind, he could rest assured.

After thinking about it, Jia Yu took out a few bottles of low-level pills suitable for demon cultivation from the expanded purse and gave them to Ah Liu:

"The brothers who came here have worked hard, Liu, give each of them two pills!"

As for the lions and demons who found the valley, there were naturally more of them. These pills were made by Jia Yu when he was learning alchemy with a Dan in the cultivation world in half a step, which can increase the speed of the demon cultivators' cultivation.

After distributing the elixirs and telling all the monsters to stay nearby for now, Jia Yu planned to take Hong Daochang and Boss Cang to sneak into the valley and check around first.

He didn't dare to bring all the monsters with him because the other party was a capable Taoist priest. If a monster approached, he might be spotted from a long distance, but Boss Cang's cultivation level is high, so he is not afraid of being seen through.

The valley was not too far away, and after walking for a while, I found a road stepped on by people.

Jia Yu took a visual inspection and guessed it was leading down the mountain.

Only about 500 meters away from the entrance of the valley, Boss Cang grabbed Jia Yu and stopped Hong Daochang:

"There are guards there."

Jia Yu froze, he didn't see anyone, and he still didn't feel the spiritual power after running for a week, but he believed what Boss Cang said, it could only be that the place where the sentry hid was special.

"Do you know where it's hidden?"

"On the top of the big tree on the left 410 meters ahead, there is an isolation formation."

Jia Yu searched according to his words, and sure enough, he saw a big tree that was no different from the nearby trees. The trees here were all so tall that it was difficult to see the top of the tree when looking up, but there was actually a tree house built on top of this tree. Make an outpost.

"He's at such a high place, we can't see him here, what's the use of hiding?" Jia Yu was speechless.

On the one hand, Daoist Hong obviously thought so too, and they all began to feel for weapons and prepare to go to war.

Boss Cang said calmly:

"We didn't find us. The person above is sleeping. If we touch the warning sign on the ground any further, we will wake him up."

Jia Yu: ...

Daoist Hong: ...

"Master Cang has profound magic power after all, Xiaodao admires him!"

Jia Yu was very proud: "That's natural!"

Hong Dao was at a loss for words, Boss Cang smiled lightly and touched Jia Yu's shoulder.

Carefully avoiding the warning signs and entering the Taniguchi, what I saw was a flat practice field except for a few high platforms.

At this time, the sound of trumpets was loud on the practice field, and twenty thousand naked brawny men were practicing boxing.

Everyone dared not go in, but just watched from the entrance.

Jia Yu nodded to Daoist Hong, and signaled him to quickly find out if Hanba was hiding here.

Daoist Hong stared wide-eyed and motioned Jia Yu to look at a high platform in the middle.

Jia Yu originally thought that the high platform was for competition or lectures, but after a closer look, she found that the middle one was different, it was actually an altar!

Jia Yu looked at Boss Cang in surprise: Is this really the right place?

Boss Cang blinked: It looks like it is!

After making a gesture, everyone quietly exited.

After staying far away, Jia Yu was sure that the other party would not be able to see him. Just now, Jia Yu breathed a sigh of relief, but frowned again:

"Look at those people's fists and punches. These 2 people are probably an elite army secretly trained somewhere. With them guarding here, even if we know that Hanba is hiding here, we have nowhere to attack!"

Daoist Hong had been fiddling with the compass when he heard Jia Yu's words and interjected:

"Your Excellency is far away. Seeing that the incense burns continuously during the day and the runes on the altar, I am afraid that it was the adult who was interfered by him when he prayed for rain. However, the location and terrain of this valley are not suitable for raising corpses, let alone raising corpses." Drought."

Jia Yu's heart turned over:

"You mean Hanba won't be here?"

Hong Daochang nodded:

"It's absolutely impossible to hide here."

Jia Yu was silent.

It turned out to be a joy in vain?

Boss Cang patted him and said softly:

"It's not that there is no gain. At least knowing that the opponent has an elite soldier hiding here, isn't it a great achievement?"

Jia Yu smiled wryly:

"Compared to the change of the throne, I am more concerned about the life and death of countless people in Yunzhou." So even if he found out that someone was planning to rebel, he couldn't be happy. What he wanted was Hanba!It is necessary to find out the unfinished drought and burn it to ashes to avoid the crisis in Yunzhou.

"Don't you want to help? Since you know that the people here are behind the scenes, wouldn't it be more clues to find Hanba?"

Jia Yu shook her head:

"I didn't report much hope. The evil Taoist Wang Zhen didn't say anything until his death. It can be seen that their mouths are extremely strict. Even if they try hard to catch people, they may still be deadlocked. But your words are also reasonable. , but it is difficult to take people, with our current manpower, we can take people without disturbing the [-] elite soldiers... Where is this Hanba hiding?"

Hong Daochang scratched his messy hair irritably:

"Generally, you can't move the nest for raising corpses. Wherever you start to practice, you will stay there all the time. Once you move, all previous efforts will be wasted. If it is really in this mountain, then there is something to look for!"

Blessed to the heart, Jia Yu thought of the place she had neglected, and her eyes lit up:

"Let's go back to Yunzhou City!"

Boss Cang smiled, and Jia Yu knew that her guess was probably correct.

Daoist Hong, on the other hand, was a little confused:

"My lord is not looking for it in the mountains anymore? We don't have much time, only half a month, if we don't hurry up, we might run out of time?"

"If you search for the mountains here, let alone half a month, you may not be able to finish it in half a year. We don't have that much time. But what you said just now reminded me that we are afraid that we will be in the dark under the lights. Hanba is probably still in Yunzhou City, but we just ignored it!" Jia Yu explained while grabbing Boss Cang's arm and quickly returned.

No matter how fast the speed was, it took ten days to return to the city. Standing at the gate of the city, Jia Yu took a deep breath. This move was like a gamble.

"Call all the people together, and visit He Shimu's house again!"

Di Lang, who came to greet him, was stunned when he heard this:

"Uncle suspects that Hanba is hiding in He Shimu's house?"

"Whether it is true or not, let's find out! Today I must dig ten feet into the ground!"

"Uncle, in the past few days when you were not in the Yamen, Caizhou City sent people again and brought a prisoner here, saying that Mr. Zhao said that he would hand it over to you for trial, and he is now locked in a cell."

Jia Yu was stunned for a moment:

"what's the situation?"

"The prisoner was from the Caizhou quarry, and he was killed. The victim is from Yunzhou, so he handed over the case to our Yunzhou Yamen for trial." Di Lang also looked puzzled.

Jia Yu sneered, as soon as he offended Master Zhao, he sent a prisoner over, who would believe it if he said it was all right?

"Does the prisoner have any special status?"

Di Lang patted his head:

"There are too many things at hand, and I didn't bother to inquire about him, but the file that was handed over didn't mention his hometown. I only know that he came from the capital, and his name is Xie Youtan."

Caizhou quarry, Jingcheng, surnamed Xie, the prisoner sent by Mr. Zhao Qiang'an in Yunzhou?

These are connected together, and Jia Yu can easily guess the identity of the other party: "Could it be Xie San, the son of Xie Youxiang?"

Di Lang was stunned for a moment, obviously he did not expect the other party's identity to be so prominent.He didn't know the grievances between the other party and Jia Yu, he just thought it was Xie Xiang's son.

Thinking of the relationship between the rich and powerful in the capital, fearing that the Xie family has something to do with the Jia family, he hurriedly said:

"It's all due to Lang's negligence, Lang will go back and ask for clarification!"

"Slow down, this matter is not urgent, the person has already sent it, even if it is going to be sent away, it is not right now, so I don't care about the little things, let's take care of the big things first!"

"Yes!"

Gathered all the hands of the mansion, took tools, and excavated everywhere in the former Mr. He's mansion!

Daoist Hong, whose beard was covered in dust and didn't bother to clean it up, held a compass and said in surprise:

"My lord, your guess may be right. The corpse aura in this place has not dissipated, on the contrary, it has become stronger. This is in line with the description in the records before the corpse was lifted up by Hanba! Hanba... probably hides here!"
