Chapter 28 Bizarre Murder Case
Sang Yunqi nodded at the boss.
"Thank you. I'll pay for this bowl later."
Chu Xinglan rolled his eyes, ignored him, and started eating with big mouthfuls.
Well, it tastes pretty good.
At this time, Sang Yunqi had already started chatting with the boss.
"I came to Cangshan Town many years ago. It was very prosperous here, with people coming and going even at night. What's going on now?"
The boss looked to be in his fifties, with wrinkles all over his face. When he heard Sang Yunqi's question, he sighed and sat down next to him.
"You are right. We are close to Cangqiong Mountain and have always been very lively here. Because of the Immortal Master of Cangqiong Mountain, we have always been safe here."
"But recently, some kind of monster came to this town. In just a few days, several lives have been lost."
"The government felt something was amiss, so they requested support from Cangqiong Mountain. A team of people came the day before yesterday and asked us a lot of questions. We thought the matter could be resolved."
"But a team of people disappeared."
Sang Yunqi frowned and tapped his fingers on the table at a consistent frequency.
"All the people from the sky are missing?"
The boss shook his head.
"That group of people doesn't seem to be from Cangqiong Mountain. The clothes they wear are different from what we have seen before."
"No one came after that. No one dared to go out. If my wife hadn't been sick and needed medicine, I wouldn't have come out."
"If you don't have anything urgent to do, please leave here as soon as possible."
After saying that, the boss stood up and went back to his stall.
Chu Xinglan pulled his face out of the noodle bowl and looked at Sang Yunqi.
Of course he heard the conversation between the two just now, but this matter is a bit mysterious. The disciple from Cangqiong Mountain did not come after receiving the commission?
Moreover, a group of cultivators disappeared collectively, which seemed to be wrong no matter how one thought about it.
Sang Yunqi approached him and whispered, "Let's find an inn to stay in first, and we'll talk about it when we get there."
After saying that, he took out some silver from his bag, put it on the table, then stood up and walked towards the inn.
But before the two of them reached the place, a group of people staggered towards them. Each of them had disheveled hair and blood on their collars, looking as miserable as they could be.
Moreover, Chu Xinglan could clearly feel their fear.
Since they were all wearing the same clothes and holding magic swords in their hands, Chu Xinglan thought that this might be the team of cultivators that the boss had just mentioned.
When the leading young man saw Sang Yunqi, his eyes lit up instantly. He stumbled over and was about to hug Sang Yunqi.
Sang Yunqi didn't know who he was, so he avoided the other person's actions without even seeing how he moved.
The young man was caught off guard and fell directly to the ground. He seemed to have pulled the wound on his body and hissed in pain.
The other young men also approached at this time, all looking at Sang Yunqi and Chu Xinglan warily.
The two men stepped forward and helped up the guy who was still lying on the ground.
"Elder brother, are you okay?"
The young man patted the dust off his body and said, "It's okay, it's okay."
Then, he pushed aside the two people beside him, walked in front of Sang Yunqi, bowed deeply and saluted.
"I am Qu Lai, a disciple of Lingxiao Pavilion. Nice to meet Venerable Xingheng."
"There is an evil creature causing trouble in Cangyun Town. I hope Venerable Xingheng can lend a hand."
Chu Xinglan looked at Qu Lai in surprise, this guy is quite something. Although his master did not change his face when he went out, his iconic silver hair was hidden. How could he recognize him?
Sang Yunqi glanced at a few people, ignoring the shock in the eyes of the remaining teenagers, and looked at Qu Lai and said.
"Let's find a place to stay first, and we'll talk later."
After saying this, he took the lead and walked in front to lead the way, and Qu Lai and his disciples followed closely behind.
After checking into the room, Qu Lai and the others first tidied themselves up and simply treated their wounds before walking to Sang Yunqi's door and knocking on it.
After Sang Yunqi let them in, he did not rush to ask them about their experiences, but looked at Qu Lai curiously.
"How did you recognize me?"
Qu Lai scratched his head in embarrassment. "My brother went to Cangqiong Mountain three years ago and had the honor of meeting Venerable Xing Heng. Because he is good at painting, I have seen the portrait of the Immortal Venerable."
Sang Yunqi nodded, not sure whether he believed it or not. He asked them all to find a place to sit down, and then asked about things in the town.
After Qu Lai sat down, he organized his words and began to tell his story.
It turned out that they came to Cangshan Town and encountered this incident completely by accident. They came here to chase a monster.
Ever since Sang Yunqi accepted Chu Xinglan as his disciple, although there were various voices of dissatisfaction in the cultivation world, everyone still started a wave of monster fever.
They all want to find a monster that they like and make a contract with it to become their own spirit beast.
Qu Lai came out this time just for this matter. As a result, they underestimated the fighting power of the monster, and although they were not injured, they were still escaped by it.
They were all a group of young people, so they naturally felt embarrassed and had to chase after him. They chased him all the way to Cangshan Town.
As soon as they arrived, they were stopped by the town mayor, who begged them to help exorcise the evil spirit.
They were just a group of disciples who had just entered the foundation-building stage, and their leader Qu Lai was only in the middle stage of foundation-building.
In the sect, it was always the senior brothers who took care of them. They had never seen such a scene before, so they agreed immediately with great enthusiasm.
From the mayor's case records, we learned that bizarre murders began to occur in Cangshan Town five days ago. The victims were all young and middle-aged people, and the frequency was maintained at one per day.
But after visiting family members and nearby neighbors, no one had seen the murderer and there were no traces at the scene.
But the person just died. Not only was he dead, but his flesh, blood, and bones all disappeared, leaving only a piece of human skin.
Qu Lai and his team checked carefully and found no wound on the human skin.
Chu Xinglan touched his chin and said doubtfully, "There is no wound at all. This is impossible, right? If there was contact, there should be traces."
"And he chose this method of killing in order to absorb the blood, flesh and essence of the person, so that there would be no way he would leave no trace at all."
Qu Lai nodded, "We thought so at the time, but we checked carefully many times and there were indeed no wounds."
"After that, we revisited the residents of the town, hoping to find some clues, but everyone said the same thing: they had never seen it and they didn't know."
"This is not a solution. We speculate that the enemy should choose the target during the day and attack at night. Only in this way can we ensure that there are no witnesses."
Chu Xinglan blinked, looked at these ragged teenagers, and asked tentatively.
"Are you using your own people to fish?"
Qu Lai looked at him awkwardly and nodded.
Chu Xinglan looked up at the sky and said with emotion: "What a courage!"
