Crossing the Sword

Chapter 171 A Bizarre Murder Case

After the flames were extinguished, Ye Shisan asked the guards around him: "How did the fire break out just when we left? Who discovered it first? What was the specific situation?" Something was fishy, ​​so Ye Shisan asked several questions in one breath.

A guard saluted and said to Ye Shisan, "We had just returned from the cafeteria after pasting the notice for tomorrow's game. When we got here, we suddenly heard Kualeng scream in the room, and then a fire started. The fire started too quickly, and I'm not familiar with water magic, so I immediately called for help to put out the fire, and then you came."

"Kualeng is still in there?" Ye Shisan was shocked and said, "There is absolutely no reason for him to stay in the burning house and not come out. Something must have happened. Let's go in and take a look!" No one who can come to participate in the competition can die casually, and the same goes for Kualeng. If he is killed innocently, it will easily cause chaos in the world.

Perhaps he had the same idea as Ye Shisan, Zhuan Meng didn't care that this was Ye Shisan's order, and rushed to push the door first. But he didn't push it open, and then he kicked the door open and rushed in first. This can't be said to be a problem with his skills, because when pushing the door, everyone usually uses the same force, not too much. If he didn't expect the door to be inserted backwards, even a God King-level master might not be able to push it open.

After Zhuanmeng entered, Ye Shisan and others also rushed in.

"Ah!" Bai Yu and Jing Wei screamed at the same time and ran out immediately. Because what they saw was the body of Kualeng, and his death was extremely horrible. Kualeng's entire stomach was torn to pieces, and his eyes were blinded by something unknown. Even Ye Shisan frowned when he saw his death, not to mention the two girls.

At this time, two guards also followed in. After seeing what happened, they were shocked. They quickly stepped back and asked Baiyu nervously, "Princess Baiyu, what should we do about this?" But Baiyu was so frightened that she had lost her composure. How could she answer him?

Fortunately, Ye Shisan spoke at this time: "You two, one of you go and notify Qingdi immediately, and the other one go and get me a new pair of chopsticks, as well as a few bottles and some white cloth. Oh, and some pens and ink." He knew that Bai Yu couldn't come up with any ideas at this time, so he spoke on her behalf.

The two guards had seen that Bai Yu had always been very respectful to Ye Shisan in the past few days, and he followed his lead in almost everything. Bai Yu would not object to his decision, and Ye Shisan's decision was very rational. The person who died was not an ordinary person, and the Qing Emperor must be notified. It was not something that could be handled by ordinary government offices. After looking at each other, they all followed Ye Shisan's instructions.

After the two left, Ye Shisan began to check around for any clues. While checking, he casually said, "The doors and windows are locked, and the deceased's death is horrible. It is impossible to commit suicide. This is a closed room murder case. But there is not even a small air vent in the whole house. How did the murderer leave after killing someone?" His doubt is not without any basis. Although the murderer can use magic such as passing through walls, it is impossible for any sentry guards to find it. After all, the identities of these contestants are very special. The Green Emperor must attach great importance to their safety, and those guards must be extraordinary.

"There are bloodstains on the ground and on the wall, but they are no longer clear after being washed away by water." After saying this, he glanced at Zhuan Meng and then shook his head. Zhuan Meng's actions were absolutely correct. In that situation, he should have been like Zhang Tianya and the others, not knowing that someone had died inside. The most important thing was not to save the scene, but to put out the fire.

"Due to the timely extinguishing of the fire, the damage to the scene was not serious. Wait..." Ye Shisan walked to the table and focused his attention on the box that contained the barbecue. He found that the box had been mostly burned, and the barbecue that should have been inside was gone. Ye Shisan frowned again and muttered to himself, "This shouldn't be the case. What did the murderer take this for?"

Zhuanmeng, who was standing by, had not spoken a word. He thought to himself that this murder case was even more bizarre than the Hundred Corpses case in Youdu Ridoujin. However, seeing that Ye Shisan had discovered so many problems after just one look at the scene, it was possible that he could solve the case. Out of curiosity, he decided to wait and see how Ye Shisan would solve the case.

"The door bolt was broken and fell to the ground. It should be the result of your kick just now." Ye Shisan continued his analysis casually.

"You said so?" At this point, Zhuan Meng could no longer remain calm and immediately argued: "Are you doubting me?"

Ye Shisan continued to check for other clues and replied casually: "It's not just you. Before the matter is investigated clearly, each of us is a suspect." In fact, Ye Shisan didn't need to care about this matter, but he guessed that there must be a conspiracy behind this matter, and the incident happened in Taihao Kingdom, so he thought he was helping Bai Yu.

At this time, a guard had returned with what Zhang Tianya wanted, but he was obviously well-mannered. He just reported to Zhang Tianya and waited quietly on the side without disturbing Ye Shisan's thoughts. Ye Shisan continued, "The book is half open. I think he was reading before he died." He picked up a book on the table and flipped through it casually. It turned out to be a martial arts secret book related to Tianxing.

Seeing that the picture was exactly the martial arts that Kualeng had used, he flipped through the book casually for a few times, but when he saw that there was no useful clue, he closed the book. He wrapped it with the white cloth that the guard had just brought and handed it to the guard for temporary custody. He also found a piece of minced meat that Zhang Tianya found strange at the scene, put it in a small bottle, and sealed it with magic.

After checking to see if he had missed anything, he drew an outline around Kwaleng's body, stood up and said, "We have almost checked the scene, let's wait for the Qing Emperor to arrive." After saying that, Shu left the room.

After a while, a golden light flashed at the door, and a middle-aged man in green clothes teleported in. Everyone immediately knelt down and saluted. Bai Yu and Jing Wei also came forward to greet him, calling him "Daddy" and "Uncle Fuxi" respectively. Zhuan Meng then came forward to salute and said, "Zhuan Meng, son of Zhuan Xu of the San Miao Kingdom, greets His Majesty the Green Emperor."

Ye Shisan was the only one among all the people who had never seen the Green Emperor. Seeing everyone's reaction, he had already confirmed the identity of the person who came, so he hurried to the front of the mountain to greet him and said, "Ye Shisan of Shennong Country, I greet His Majesty the Green Emperor." Looking at the Green Emperor's immortal demeanor, he was indeed one of the few God King-level masters he had seen, and he looked like a god.
