Chapter 33 The guide on the eve of the incident died three days ago Linjiangsi is the Linjiangfang Tianjiansi. Lin Yan's duties are limited to Linjiangfang. He couldn't care less about the injustices happening in the city. But at least within the scope of his authority, he could not tolerate this. If the identity of the flag bearer of Linjiang Division cannot be controlled, this knife can definitely be controlled. "Master Yang, if they really refuse to repent, and I kill them with a knife, can that be considered impartiality according to the current law?" "what?" Yang Zhubu was shocked and said quickly, "It doesn't count. This needs to be reported to the court. Once the evidence is solid, the City Guard Office and the Heavenly Supervision Office will jointly review it, and the Liuzun Temple will make a judgment. Then he will be imprisoned and sentenced according to the crime... Directly beheading someone is against the rules. This is lynching..." Then he remembered that this flag-bearer had just taken office yesterday. Before that, he assisted the night watchman in arresting thieves and maintaining order.

However, most of the criminals he handled were beheaded on the spot before they even entered prison. It is rumored that this person is a killer, with a killing habit and an addiction to killing. It's only been one day since I came to Linjiang Division, why do you want to draw your sword and kill someone again? "I don't know whether it is legal to draw a knife and kill someone." Lin Yan said slowly: "But most of the Wai Nan Yamen know the rules of Wu Chang. You should convey this sentence to them intact!" Yang Zhubu was shocked and quickly responded, and then quickly said: "By the way, today there were city defense troops, more than 30 people, who came to Linjiangsi with great force, but in less than half a quarter of an hour, they all retreated." "Half an hour ago, another city defense soldier sent a letter over. I have already presented it to Master Wu's desk." "I will write the letter right away. Once you have read it, I will send it to the Outer South Yamen." "Just go." Lin Yan waved his hand, went to his desk and opened the letter. A personal letter from Zhaozhou, the commander-in-chief of the city defense. He mentioned the soldiers under his command, who were impulsive and reckless, acted without knowing the truth, and expressed his deep apologies. Then he mentioned that last night a burly man, nine feet tall, as strong as a bear, with a full beard, killed a bear monster. The person who filled the gap and defended the city yesterday was also this person. And the person who killed Zhao Jing was most likely this person. However, the commander-in-chief of Zhaozhou also mentioned in the letter that this man killed the bear monster, defended Linjiangfang, filled the gap, and defended the city wall, so he must be a righteous man. There may be some behind-the-scenes story behind Zhao Jing's murder. Finally, the letter also mentioned that the Tianjiansi was in charge of monitoring the affairs of the entire city and was a source of intelligence with great powers. It was hoped that the flag bearer Wuchang could provide assistance. "Nine feet tall? Full of stubble? And as strong as a bear?"

Lin Yan fell into silence. Judging from the changes before and after the city defense soldiers. In the morning, all parties believed that Wuchang, the flag bearer of Linjiang Division, was a major suspect in the murder of Zhao Jing and even other city defense soldiers and the patrol team. Later, it was probably Mr. Lu who stepped forward and cleared Wuchang of suspicion. But suspicion was also placed on the "reckless man". If the matter of Zhao Jing is not investigated thoroughly, this reckless man will always be suspected of killing the city defense soldiers. "Fifth Master!" At this time, Yang Zhubu handed over the letter he had just written. At the same time, there are also detailed records of the aftermath of the incidents carried out by various departments in Linjiangfang and the city wall today. Linjiangsi has the duty of supervision and can correct unhealthy practices! “Leave it there…” Lin Yan sat on it, flipped it open casually, and said with a little satisfaction, "This letter is well written. Send it to the Outer South Yamen." He handed the letter over, then looked through the rest of the notebook. After turning over a few pages, he was suddenly stunned. "Liu Guangding?" "Master Wu, do you recognize this man?" Yang Zhubu asked in surprise. "Yeah." Lin Yan said calmly: "Recently, a new flag was recruited, named Lin Yan, this is his neighbor." "I see." Yang Zhubu said with a smile: "Although this man's surname is Liu, he is not a member of the Inner City Liu family. He is not even a branch. He is already an elderly man..." "Why didn't the authorities record the cause of his death?" Lin Yan asked calmly. "He didn't die because of the evil spirit last night." Yang Zhubu said, "Today, the Wai Nan Yamen, in cooperation with the Liuzun Temple, sent people to eliminate the remaining evil spirits. When they checked each household, they found that the old man had died at home a few days ago. He must have died of old age and illness, and no one came to investigate." "and many more……" Lin Yan's face was cold, his eyes suddenly solemn, and he said slowly: "He died at home a few days ago? Which day exactly?" "It should be three days ago." "..." Lin Yan suddenly clenched the knife in his hand. At this moment, his heart was in turmoil. Liu Bo died three days ago? He was guarding the city last night, and the night before, because his second brother was bewitched by a ghost, he went out of the city to rescue people! The reason why he knew that his second brother was bewitched by the evil spirit and left the city was because his neighbor Liu Bo mentioned Chen Jiangbao and the daughter of the Chen family. However, Liu Bo died three days ago.

So who was the person who told me the night before? He suddenly stood up and walked outside. "Fifth Master, what are you doing?" "Liu Guangding's death was suspicious. Send someone to inform the Outer South Yamen immediately and seal the body. Do not transport it to the inner city." "So what are you doing?" "I'll go to the scene and investigate." Lin Yan walked to the door, stopped again, and said: "Make a list of all the people who have come into contact with Liu Guangding's body today! In addition, notify the three flags, find them one by one, bring them back to Linjiang Division, and wait for me to come back..." As he said this, he walked away quickly. It was already night and the sky was dark. He hurried back to the alley where the old house was located and saw the seal on the door of Liu Bo's house next door. He drew his sword, opened the door and stepped inside. What hit me in the face was the stench of long-rotten food. But this morning, when he went home and took a shower, he didn't smell any strange odor at all. With his cultivation level at the Refining Essence Realm and his sharp five senses, he should not have been completely unaware even if there was a wall between them. "In this room..." Lin Yan placed the blade horizontally on the scabbard. With a sudden pull, sparks flew. It splashed onto the half-burned candle on the table. The candle wick lit up, the flame was dim, but it illuminated the whole room. "The wall was scraped..." Lin Yan's pupils shrank slightly, remembering that after killing the demon tiger, Chen Yuannu's skin was also covered with strange lines. He thought to himself, "Before this, someone must have set up some isolation measures in the room." He reached out his hand and touched the wall, feeling the surface after being scraped one layer. The subtle details seemed slightly sharp to the touch. The person scraping the wall had a rough technique, as if he was doing it in a hurry. A careful examination of the slightly curved lines remaining on the wall revealed that they looked more like they were scraped with a knife. Looking down at my feet, the wall dust has been cleaned. "The people who carried away Uncle Liu's body today and were responsible for handling this house were the runners from the Outer South Yamen..." There was a slight chill in Lin Yan's eyes as he walked out the door.

But at this moment, his steps paused. There was a sudden warmth behind him. It was as if there was a warm, naked body pressed against my back, rubbing my ears against yours and whispering softly. "I've been waiting for you for a long time..." boom! Lin Yan had a cold expression on his face. He suddenly stepped forward and flew backward like a sharp arrow! In an instant, his back hit the wall. Rumbling sound! The entire wall collapsed. He rolled on the ground and stood up among the broken bricks and rubble. The dust and mist all over his body could not conceal the cold murderous intent in his eyes. Not far away, the "evil spirit" that he had knocked away had mostly disappeared, and the remaining energy turned into a wisp of black smoke, which fled with the wind and disappeared in front of the street in an instant. "Escape as best you can, and take me with you to your master." (End of this chapter)
