Practice begins with the awakening of the possessed old devil

Chapter 247 Analysis of the case overnight

Ni Qi nodded and continued to ask: "Have you found any special clues?"

Tang Jingzong replied: "The villain personally led a team to investigate. The place where the incident happened is in the middle of an alleyway from Honglu Temple to the imperial palace."

"Not far ahead is Binyao Gate. On one side of the alleyway are pine trees planted in rows, and on the other side is the outer wall of the imperial city."

The more Ni Qi heard it, the more he was surprised and uncertain: "Well, have you ever found any suspicious footprints?"

Tang Jingzong replied carefully: "Because of the cool weather in late autumn, every day of this festival is dry and sunny, and it is really difficult to leave footprints on the ground roads."

Ni Qi turned around abruptly and asked, "Is there really no footprint left?"

Tang Jingzong hurriedly said: "Oh, yes, there is no trace of the scene at all, and the other party committed the crime skillfully."

Ni Qi nodded slightly and said: "So that's it! It seems that there are black wizards among the spies of Xingluo Kingdom, who have infiltrated our Nanqing capital city, using the technique of lowering their heads to harass and harm people everywhere."

"It's obviously because their army couldn't resist our Nanqing army, and they suffered repeated defeats. Out of helplessness, they had to send black wizards to wreak havoc in our Nanqing capital."

"Either to disrupt, or to retaliate... In short, they want to do everything possible to make our capital uneasy, or they may try to force us to retreat."

"To find out the culprits of this gang, we have to do our best to hunt down all the people related to Xingluo Kingdom in the capital, and the case will naturally be solved by then."

"Yes, Master Ni, your reasoning is too correct. If so, the criminal suspects are narrowed down to an extremely small range."

"Hmm." Ni Qi pondered for a while, and then asked: "It is said that the murdered person is related to some 'Book of Life and Death'. I don't know which group of people are playing tricks."

"This……"

"It is said that it has something to do with Huangquan ghost Taoism," Tang Jingzong said hesitantly.

"Before, there were two ghosts from the Huangquan Ghost Dao Sect who were making trouble in the capital, but nothing happened later."

"But... there is one very strange thing."

"Oh, what strange thing?" Ni Qi couldn't help asking.

There was a strange fear in Tang Jingzong's voice, and he said slowly: "Behind the footprints of Master Zhou and Master Liu, there is a trail of blood closely following, not a footprint, but a blood stain, which seems to be dripping all the way. .”

"At intervals, the blood still draws a vague word 'death', which continues until Master Zhou was found dead on the ground."

Ni Qi watched Tang Jingzong's expression carefully, and after a long time, he said coldly: "It really is weird enough! So Tang Jingzong, what do you think about this case? What do you plan to do?"

Tang Jingzong thought about it and said, "If I were the Minister of Dali Temple, I would send troops to immediately search the whole city for anyone related to Xingluo Kingdom, and seal the city immediately to prevent these gangsters from easily leaving the city."

Ni Qi nodded slightly and said: "Well, not bad, this idea is very good."

"Tang Jingzong, if you are really the Minister of Dali Temple, this case will be easily resolved!"

Ni Qi patted Tang Jingzong's shoulder lightly, and said encouragingly: "Tang Jingzong, your duty is to command the 24 guards of the Imperial Forest Army's Longteng Guards, and you are responsible for guarding the safety of the imperial palace."

"This case cannot be entrusted to you, because you are not in charge."

"Of course, one day is definitely not enough for such a case."

"Actually, I am still very optimistic about your ability. You have clear and logical thinking and a clear heart. You are a good seedling and a good talent."

"I just want to give you some help and inspiration from my own experience, so that you can think more. You don't have to worry about it. In my opinion, you have done a lot and very well."

Tang Jingzong hurriedly bowed his hands to Ni Qi and said, "I am ashamed of myself."

Ni Qi took a few steps forward, and said again: "Tang Jingzong, if you want to kill Zhou and Liu, it is probably much easier to kill people outside the imperial city than inside the imperial city, right? Why do they have to take such a risk? risks of?"

Tang Jingzong was speechless.

The night banquet of the Mid-Autumn Festival and the moon appreciation finally ended with the emperor Zhao An, but the eight sage king Zhao Youting was still not free to live in peace.

Lianye was also temporarily appointed by Zhao An to be the chief person in charge of the investigation into the mysterious deaths of Lords Zhou and Liu and the monks of Da Ci'en Temple.

And issued a death order for him to investigate urgently, and solve the case within three days.

Because the nature of this case is extremely bad, it is suspected of shaking the public order in the capital and disturbing the order in Beijing.

Zhao Youting, the Eighth Sage King, was ordered in danger. Under tremendous pressure, out of helplessness, he had no choice but to find Ni Qi overnight to discuss the case together.

Also in the Palace of the Eight Sages late at night were Dali Temple Minister Cui Yunting, Dali Temple Shaoqing Wu Yanyan, Jing Zhaoyin Li Cunxun, as well as Longteng Wei Da Commander Tang Ao and one of the Twenty Wei Commanders Tang Jingzong.

"Father gave this king a death order, ordering this king to crack the major case of the death of Master Zhou and Shaoqing Master Liu of Honglu Temple, as well as the monks of Daci'en Temple within three days."

The Eight Sage King Zhao Youting had a helpless wry smile on his face: "This king was also forced to do nothing. After the Mid-Autumn Festival banquet, I had to call all the adults in charge of the case together overnight to discuss the countermeasures to solve the case."

"I hope you adults will bear with me for this inhumane act!"

Cui Yunting, Minister of Dali Temple, hurriedly confessed: "Eight sage kings are serious. This is a case that the lower officials are responsible for thoroughly investigating, but now it all falls on the shoulders of you, the sage king. I feel very sorry, and I am extremely terrified!"

"Okay, stop talking about these meaningless nonsense now," Eight Sage King Zhao Youting interrupted Cui Yunting with a wave of his hand, and immediately asked.

"Master Cui, after you took over the case, what clues have you investigated? For example, what is the motive and purpose of the other party?"

Cui Yunting, Minister of Dali Temple, had no choice but to answer: "His Royal Highness, as you said, what I think we should thoroughly investigate is still the motive."

"Why were the two adults Zhou and Liu killed? Who wants to put him to death?"

"Only by sorting out these things can we find a clue to this case."

"If you are only led by the nose by the situation at the scene, I am afraid you will go astray."

Tang Jingzong was startled, couldn't hold back, and asked hurriedly, "My lord, do you mean to say that someone is setting up a suspicious formation?"

"Jingzong, what are you talking about, are there any rules?" Tang Ao, the commander of Longteng Wei, hurriedly scolded.

Tang Jingzong had the smallest position at the scene, and he was not a close friend of the Baxian King. The adults had not spoken yet, so he had no right to intervene, so it was normal to be scolded by Tang Ao.

"It's okay, why does Commander Tang reprimand Brother Ling?" Ni Qi smiled quickly.

"Not long ago, I also privately asked Brother Ling a lot of clues about the case, and found that Brother Ling was clear and logical."
