Chapter 5946 Nameless Tavern

Three days later, Ye Qian came to a strange city alone.

"Xingcheng!" Ye Qian looked at the city in front of him, showing a slight smile.

Xingcheng is only a thousand miles away from the capital of demons, but when it comes to the size of the city, there is a difference of hundreds of thousands of miles. Xingcheng is just a small town attached to the Devil Capital, and it was developed by relying on the Devil Capital.

According to the information from the Demon Alliance Headquarters, the lord of Xingcheng is Luo Houyi, a disciple from the Luo family, a big family in the capital of demons. And Lu Haifeng, the son of the Lu family that Ye Qian wanted to investigate, was killed in Xingcheng.

As the lord of Xingcheng, Lu Haifeng died in Xingcheng, so the Lu family immediately found Luo Houyi as a matter of course. Although Luo Houyi is only a side branch disciple of the Luo family, he has won the attention of the direct line of the Luo family. Therefore, when Master Lu Jiaxing questioned Luo Houyi, he was forcibly suppressed by the powerful members of the Luo family.

Although the Lu family is also a big family in the Demon City, it cannot be compared with the first-class family like the Luo family, which is second only to the headquarters of the Demon Alliance. Although the Lu family also has strong men who can see the peak of the sixth level of Taoism, they are only second-rate families after all, and cannot be compared with the ancestors of the Luo family.

Therefore, the Lu family's Xingshi questioned the crime, and what they got in the end was nothing more than the Luo family's full investigation and some appropriate compensation for Luo Haifeng's death. However, the Lu family does not lack this kind of compensation. Lu Haifeng is the direct son of the Lu family, so the Lu family naturally wants to investigate to the end, and cannot place all their hopes in the hands of others. This is why Ye Qian has the task of tracking down the real murderer.

After Ye Qian entered the city, he immediately found a humble inn to live in. Regarding the case of Lu Haifeng's death, Ye Qian still doesn't have much clue.

In the inn, Ye Qian sat by the window, looked at the peaceful streets of Xingcheng, frowned slightly, and began to think about the clues of the case.

"The Luo family should be able to rule out the suspicion. After all, Lu Haifeng died on the Luo family's territory. The Luo family will definitely not ask for trouble if they want to kill Lu Haifeng." Ye Qian murmured, taking the lead in ruling out the suspicion of the Luo family. .

"The only hostile family of the Lu family in the Demon Capital is the Han family, and the Han family is also a second-rate force, so normally they would not dare to kill Lu Haifeng in the Luo family's place. After all, once exposed, the Han family will suffer a lot from the Luo family." The members of the Han family would not be so ignorant." While looking at the information provided by the Demon Alliance, Ye Qian ruled out the suspicion of the Han family's vendetta.

"From this point of view, Lu Haifeng's death had nothing to do with family hatred, nor was it caused by members of the Luo family. Then most likely he died because of personal grievances." Ye Qian made a preliminary judgment.

"Personal grievances?" Ye Qian looked down at the information, the reason why Lu Haifeng came to Xingcheng was actually just a coincidence. Lu Haifeng took a temporary rest in Xingcheng on his way back to the Devil's Capital, but unexpectedly, he never returned to the Devil's Capital after this rest.

"Lu Haifeng himself is an immortal cultivator at the peak of the third level of the Dao Realm, and there is a guard who guards the immortal cultivator at the late stage of the fourth level of the Dao Realm. Lu Haifeng himself is dead, and the personal guard is also dead. Therefore, the strength of the murderer should be that of a spy. Cultivation realm above the late stage of the fourth level of Dao Realm." Ye Qian frowned slightly, this is a relatively conservative guess, even if the real culprit is a cultivator of the fifth level of Dao Realm, Ye Qian would not be surprised.

After all, killing a strong man in the late stage of the fourth level of Dao Sighting Realm in Xingcheng without arousing the detection of the patrol team of the city guards shows that the fluctuation of the battle is very small, and the time for committing the crime is also very short. Afterwards, Luo Houyi, the lord of Xingcheng City, personally investigated, but there was no clue or result for a long time, which was even more difficult.

"The murderer is either an experienced killer, or a strong man whose strength is far beyond the late stage of the fourth level of Dao Sighting. Only if one of these points is met can the murderer be able to kill Lu Haifeng and his guards in a short time and escape. Luo Houyi's investigation." Ye Qian murmured.

"Don't worry, whether it's an experienced killer or a powerhouse at the fifth level of Dao Realm, as long as you kill someone, you will definitely leave a hole." Ye Qian picked up a cup of tea and drank it down.

At this moment, Ye Qian already has a calculation in his mind. Since he wanted to investigate the real culprit secretly, of course he couldn't ask Luo Houyi for help with great fanfare. Otherwise, with Ye Qian's current status and the relationship between Fu Xiaofu and Luo Yuan, it would be a trivial matter for Luo Houyi, a disciple of the Luo family, to help investigate the case.

But in this way, everyone in the world would know that Ye Qian was investigating the case of Lu Haifeng's death. If the murderer is already far away from the shield, that would not be a big hindrance, but I am afraid that the murderer is still in Xingcheng or nearby, once it is revealed, Ye Qian himself will get into trouble, and the murderer will naturally not sit still. Of course, the most important thing is that the requirement of the task is to investigate secretly. Even if the real culprit is found out, it cannot be made public. Instead, the Lu family must be told and let the Lu family deal with it.

Putting down the teacup, Ye Qian closed the window, came to the window, sat cross-legged immediately, took out a Vatican, and began to practice.

On the first day when he came to Xingcheng, Ye Qian didn't do anything, he just found an inn, asked for a room, and practiced behind closed doors. It wasn't until the next day that Ye Qian walked out of the inn, but he didn't go to the most important place where the crime happened to find clues. The place where the crime happened has already been temporarily sealed by the city guards, and no one else is allowed to approach it.

Ye Qian was just walking on the streets of Xingcheng, unknowingly wrote down the entire streets of Xingcheng, and already knew the entire building structure of Xingcheng. Xingcheng is also divided into five regions: southeast, northwest, middle.

Four generals and regional officials jointly govern the southeast, northwest, and the central district is also the city lord's mansion, where the real big families and powerful forces of Xingcheng gather. This Xingcheng gave Ye Qian the feeling of peace, which shows that Luo Houyi's management of Xingcheng is still in place.

It was night, Ye Qian didn't go back to the inn, but took advantage of the night to come to a tavern in the west city. This tavern does not have a name, but it is very famous in Xingcheng. People from all walks of life, from top to bottom, will visit this nameless tavern.

The important thing is that before Lu Haifeng died, he also came to this tavern with his guards. Moreover, after leaving this tavern, his body was found the next day. It is hard to believe that there is nothing suspicious in it. It would be far-fetched to say that there must be something suspicious here. Regardless of whether there is any relationship, no matter whether there are clues or not, Ye Qian came to this tavern for the first time, and seeing what kind of charm this unknown but very famous tavern has, it will make all kinds of people, even those big shots Go here often.

The tavern is located on the edge of the west city, and its location is very remote. Apart from this tavern, there are no other shops around. Even, behind the tavern, there is an undeveloped wasteland. The wasteland is unmanaged all year round, and weeds and thorns are overgrown. Very desolate. Under the moonlight, the cold night wind blows from time to time, making it extraordinarily gloomy.

It is said that the large piece of wasteland behind the tavern is also known as the barren graveyard. Because, from time to time, cold corpses would appear in this place. Over time, there were so many corpses that died here that it was impossible to count them.

The tavern was not big, and it didn't have any magnificent decorations. It looked extremely simple, so simple that it made people feel that it was not like a tavern, but more like a forgotten old building.

There was a cracked wooden threshold, and even a wooden wooden door was not installed at all, and there was only a piece of black linen hanging down. The moment Ye Qian walked into the tavern, he saw that the business in the tavern was extremely hot. No matter men, women, young or old, under the flickering lights and music, they were either laughing or drinking wantonly, or simply ignoring everyone around them. entangled with each other.

Seeing this scene, Ye Qian was a little surprised. It was very similar to his bar on Earth, and he couldn't help thinking: "The boss here, doesn't he come from Earth like me? That's why there is such a pub that looks like a bar. ?”

Of course, Ye Qian just thought about it, knowing that the possibility of this is almost zero. The lights here are not electric lights, but colorful halos refracted by pieces of unknown jade, interlaced and flickering with each other. Of course, the music is not the various slow rock or high songs in the bar, but played and tapped by various instruments that exist in the Fairy and Demon Continent.

"Interesting!" Just because of this, Ye Qian had to look at the owner of the tavern with admiration. Under the cover of such lights and music, people's troubles and depression will be abandoned, and people will have an inexplicable primitive impulse, and their blood will boil inexplicably.

The people in the tavern didn't seem to have caused much change when Ye Qian's arrival came. More people were immersed in their own worlds, turning a blind eye to the sudden appearance of Ye Qian.

However, there were still some people who cast their eyes at the moment Ye Qian came in. Some stared at it maliciously, some looked at it with curiosity, and some unabashedly liked it.

Of course, there was only one person, with watery eyes and a smile on his face, who said to Ye Qian, "Welcome!"

The person who spoke was a middle-aged man standing on the bar. This man's face was inexplicably hideous, with three irregular scars on his face. In addition to his natural fierceness, even if he greeted him with a smile at the moment, It makes people feel inexplicably cold.

Ye Qian looked around, and naturally returned those malicious eyes without thinking. Finally, he took a step forward and walked towards the bar step by step.

"Sir, what would you like to drink?" the man with the scarred face asked.

"What kind of wine do you have?" Ye Qian asked.

"As long as you can give your name and pay for the drink, no matter what kind of drink, the shop can serve you." The man with the scar said calmly.

Ye Qian was taken aback for a moment, looked at the scarred man who was as calm as water in surprise, and then said: "Here, a pot of iron brewed spring!"

Tie Niang Chun, this is the best drink Ye Qian has ever had since he came to the Demon City. It is also one of the signature drinks blessed by the imperial concubine in the capital of demons.

After the man with the scar heard Ye Qian's words, there was a rare fluctuation in his calm eyes. Then he turned around and fiddled under the bar for a while, and soon a small glass of Tie Niang Chun appeared on the bar.
