Chapter 116 Two Dials
Although it is only a preliminary investigation, the known things have already begun to contradict. This made Shen Hao very puzzled.
Reconstructed the scene of the dungeon being attacked in my mind:
A few thieves with a cultivation level of at least the second level of God Gathering Realm took advantage of the darkness to bypass Xuanqingwei's Night Watch Small Banner Camp, sneaked into the Black Flag Camp's garrison, and then sneaked into the vicinity of the dungeon and used the phantom formation to surround the outside of the dungeon. All light and dark checkpoints were suppressed on the spot. Afterwards, use the "Mountain Stone Pressing Formation" to flatten the dungeon and kill the people in the dungeon at the same time.
At first glance, this is the general process of last night's attack, but in fact, there are many doubts.
"Where are those corpses now? Take me to see them."
Wang Jian nodded yes, leading the way ahead, in a storage room behind the barracks. All kinds of training equipment were originally stored here, but now they are temporarily used to store corpses.
But it wasn't the corpses of the soldiers of the Black Flag Battalion, they were still buried under the ruins of the dungeon.
There were three corpses in total, one whose head was sliced into two pieces, and the body was divided into three pieces. The other was disemboweled and his chest was completely ripped open. The last one is relatively good-looking, but the left eye is broken, there is a hole the size of a fist in the back of the head, and there are several sword wounds all over the body.
Although the three corpses were somewhat broken, it was possible to identify their appearance.
First, these three people are definitely not from the Licheng Guard, and certainly not from Xuan Qingwei.
Second, these people were definitely not killed by the Dungeon Guard.
Third, these three people must have malicious intentions when they came to the dungeon in the middle of the night.
"General Banner, my subordinates checked many times overnight, and according to the information that was sent back to us by the copy library in Fengri City an hour ago, the identities of these three people are basically confirmed.
This head-moving person is called Lin Houyang, a casual cultivator with a fourth level of concentrating the mind. He is somewhat famous among the casual cultivators, mainly due to the special technique he cultivates, which is a half-elixir and half-shu technique. The "Lanmeng" found in the soil of the dungeon ruins before is one of Lin Houyang's methods. This technique is similar to fascination with smoke, and its effect is very strong. Even a monk in the concentration state cannot parry it for a long time.
The man who cut his stomach open is called Sun Xiang, also known as Sun Laosan, a casual cultivator, and the fourth level of concentration. He is not well-known but very active. He is the original version of the thing called Baihuapan that is now sold in the black market. , especially good at depicting arrays and making arrays.
The last man was He Dongsheng, also a loose cultivator, at the seventh level of the Concentrating God Realm, good at using double swords and maneuvering skills, and his farewell name was "Shuangdao Yan", and he was very famous among casual cultivators.
These three people are invisible to ordinary monks, but it is recorded in Xuan Qingwei's records that they have been hired many times, some from the yamen, some from aristocratic families, some in the imperial court and some outside the imperial court, No matter how dangerous it is, these three people have the courage to take over and have a high degree of completion.
According to the information in hand, Zhang Liao and I also discussed it, and preliminarily concluded that He Dongsheng and the others touched the dungeon last night to rescue Wen Renhai in the dungeon. The specific division of labor is: Sun Xiang is in charge of the phantom array to suppress people, Lin Houyang is in charge of the mist to eliminate internal obstructions, and He Dongsheng is in charge of vigilance and invasion. "
"Your analysis means that the purpose of these three people is to save people? Not to kill people?"
"Yes. This can be seen from the fact that Sun Xiang clearly set up the phantom array but did not use the killer. Moreover, Lin Houyang's spells are not limited to Lan Meng, and the other has the ability to kill, but they all have the ability to kill people. Didn't do that."
rescue?
Shen Hao agreed with Wang Jian and Zhang Liao's analysis in his heart, but he couldn't find a particularly abrupt logical loophole for the time being. But this analysis alone is not enough, because He Dongsheng was not rescued, but he himself died.
"Does the person who killed them have an idea?"
"Not yet. But it is certain that the three of He Dongsheng were intercepted and killed when they were about to succeed. Taking into account the time difference between the patrols of the night patrol Xiaoqi battalion in the guard, they should have been killed within half a stick of incense." Killed.
In addition, according to the memories of the prison leader and the others, the phantom formation has never been interrupted, but there was some shaking for a moment in the middle. We judged that this may be the shaking caused by the formation disk in Sun Xiang's hand being forcibly taken over after he was killed.
Finally, judging from the traces left on the scene, there should be five to six people in this group, their cultivation base is between the fifth level and the ninth level of Gathering God, and they must have some tyrannical attack methods. It is impossible to kill the three of He Dongsheng within the time limit. "
Five to six masters who are at least the fifth level of the Concentrating God Realm, and there may even be those who have completed the ninth level of the Concentrating God Realm. This is not a joke, if this kind of power causes trouble in Licheng, the consequences will be disastrous.
Shen Hao frowned and remained silent.
Zhang Liao took over Wang Jian's words and continued: "Xuan Qingwei has sounded the alarm bell since Yinshi last night, and the four gates have been sealed off and the whole city is under martial law, but so far no suspicious monks have been found. At that time, news came that according to Jiang Qianhu's instructions, a group of masters would come to our guard for reinforcements in the afternoon."
Tang Qingyuan, who was at the eighth level of the Concentrating God Realm, had the highest level of cultivation in the Licheng Guards. Facing the opponent's possible enemies at the ninth level of the Concentrating God Realm, it was natural for Fengri City to dispatch more powerful people to reinforce them.
However, Tang Qingyuan and Shen Hao first communicated about this matter in Jiang Cheng's office in the morning. Jiang Cheng's ten personal guards came here, who were only responsible for military assistance and did not intervene in the basic detection of the attack.
Knocking on the table, Shen Hao said in a deep voice: "Wang Jian, you are in charge of the reinforcements. Zhang Liao, you continue to cooperate with the guards to conduct a city-wide survey. You don't have to stare at the monks. Those people go in and out of Li City. There must be support staff. These people cannot all be monks. The focus should be on people who have relatives from other places recently, as well as inns and carriage houses.
In addition, the dossier can be written first. Just use the point of view you just analyzed. There were two groups of people in the dungeon attack last night, one group wanted to rescue Wen Renhai, and this group of people was definitely related to the Wen family. Another group of people wanted to stop the rescue and kill Wen Renhai. The identities of this group of people have not yet been clarified, but it is certain that the forces behind this group of people are not small. "
Undoubtedly, the forces that can recruit five or six people with at least five levels of strength in the Concentrating God Realm must not be underestimated. At the same time, if they dare to kill the son of the Wen family, their courage alone shows that they should be worthy of the Wen family.
But who? Why did you kill Wen Renhai? What good will it do them after killing Wen Renhai?
There are quite a few people who want Wen Renhai to die.
Shen Hao came out of the storage room, retreated left and right, took Wang Jian and Zhang Liao back to the office first, and then avoided the eyes and ears to the torture room in the Black Flag Camp garrison.
"Let Zhou Guangcai come back to the torture room to sit in charge later, it will be more convenient for us to come here if he sits here, and we don't need to be so secretive."
"It's my subordinate who didn't think carefully. I will go and bring Zhou Guangcai back later." Wang Jian pushed open the door of the torture room and accepted Shen Hao's instructions.
