Although Xiao Zhengyi felt that he might be able to catch the man-eating monster who committed such a crime by sitting on the sidelines in the abandoned hotel, but he and Xu Shenxing lay in ambush there for a day and a night without finding any trace of the monster, and finally had to give up. .
After reporting the discovery in the abandoned hotel, the police soon came to seal off this alternative murder scene, and took away all the headless corpses left by monsters inside, trying to identify the identity of the deceased.
Because this work will take a certain amount of time to complete, at present Xu Shenxing and Xiao Zhengyi can only continue to investigate.
By the way, the reason why Jasmine was not mentioned is because the little guy ran out of power on Xu Shenxing's phone on the night of the ambush, and said he wanted to rush home to play activities, so he went back alone...
"Anyway, the murderer this time can be identified as the former Jiang Jin Land God, right?"
At noon the next day, Xiao Zhengyi confirmed to Xu Shenxing while opening the bento he bought from a roadside convenience store.
According to his thinking, this hotel was originally the place where the current land god told them that the former land god turned into a monster. In a sense, it is not wrong to be the lair of that monster.
Now that so many corpses have been found from that lair, there is no doubt that the murderer is the owner of the lair, the former land god.
"No, I always feel that something is wrong."
Xu Shenxing gnawed on a steamed bun, his face full of confusion. He turned his head and glanced casually into Xiao Zhengyi's bento box, and was immediately overjoyed: "Ah, there are fried pork cutlets in your bento, I'm sorry!"
"Stop it! If you want tonkatsu so much, you can buy it yourself. It's not a half-price bento that needs to be fought over..."
"If there is such an activity, it will be a good thing for me."
After successfully snatching most of the tonkatsu in Xiao Zhengyi's lunch box as a side dish for his steamed buns, Xu Shenxing showed his satisfaction.
"So, what's wrong with you?"
Xiao Zhengyi, who could only eat with shredded cabbage because it was not good to protect the bento box, stuffed a mouthful of fried pork cutlet into his mouth, and asked vaguely and depressedly.
"If the enemy is really the former land god, then the whole case went too smoothly." Xu Shenxing touched his chin: "According to my experience, the events that allow me to get involved are often not that simple! "
Do you think you are the protagonist of a novel with a halo of trouble
Xiao Zhengyi almost wanted to complain like this. But after thinking about it for a while, he decided to swallow the tonkatsu in his mouth first.
"Besides, didn't the current land god also say that? The monster cannibal that the former land god turned into seems to have a certain pattern, and it will not be unrestrained like we saw in the abandoned hotel. Hunting humans is the right thing to do. As a source of information that knows the hardness of my fist, I don't think that guy will lie to me."
Then Xu Shenxing made a guess that at least sounded more reliable than the previous reason.
"In this case, why are there so many corpses in the ruins of the hotel? Could it be that other ogre monsters also chose that place as their habitat? I don't think there are so many coincidences." Xiao Zhengyi looked at the cabbage without any appetite In the end, he could only take out a bottle of mayonnaise from the car bucket, sprinkle a thick layer of mayonnaise on it, and then continued to eat, and continued to say in that impolite vague voice: "So, I think you are just overthinking and complicating simple things... Just like in reality, how can there be so many prisoners in Conan who have nothing to do but want to play tricks on their murder methods... The most they can disagree with is the noodle shop The boss's head was chopped off and thrown into the trash."
"I think the example you mentioned can no longer be regarded as 'just'..."
"So reality is often more bizarre than fiction." Xiao Zhengyi shrugged.
"In addition to the above two reasons, I actually have another piece of evidence that proves that the murderer is probably not the former land god."
Xu Shenxing pushed the non-existent glasses and made a wise expression: "Do you still remember how I described the scene of cannibalism before?"
"Looks like... a 'banquet' is coming?"
Xiao Zhengyi tried his best to recall, and then replied uncertainly.
"That's right, the reason why it's a banquet means that there may be more than one monster involved." Xu Shenxing said calmly: "According to the bite marks on the corpses, it can be inferred that there were at least three monsters of different sizes there." Different monsters."
"What monster?" Xiao Zhengyi showed an expression of "so it is so", and then asked.
"How do I know. I'm not a forensic doctor." Xu Shenxing spread his hands and made a 'helpless' expression: "Some of those corpses are rotten like that, and the only thing I can compare is the size of the bite marks. …”
"..."
In short, no matter what Xiao Zhengyi thinks, even if the real culprit is the former land god, he and Xu Shenxing must catch each other first.
"The murderer should have known about the exposure of the ruins of the hotel, so we were not able to catch the criminal there." Xiao Zhengyi continued to analyze: "But even if those monsters really happen to also use the abandoned hotel as their lair, then what happens next? As long as you look for similar places, you should be able to find the trace of the other party, right?"
"Is it really just a coincidence?"
But Xu Shenxing still felt that something was wrong.
Jiangjin is not considered a first-tier city, but after years of development, it has been developed well, and it can meet the standards of a second-tier city. In addition to merging several small places around, the actual area of Jiangjin City is also quite large.
The rapid economic development will naturally produce some abandoned products—remains such as abandoned hotels and unfinished buildings that have not been completed for various reasons, even if it is not a lot to catch, but it is not rare, even Xu Shenxing can Think of three or four places.
To say that the chances of those monsters gathering for dinner really happened to choose the abandoned hotel is too small.
So Xu Shenxing still felt that there must be something inside that they didn't know.
"If it's not a coincidence, then it's troublesome..." Xiao Zhengyi, who had just finished eating, seemed to have a stomachache: "After what you said, the number of invisible ogre monsters has increased by a bit. It's not a good thing, but it's planning some kind of conspiracy... Please forgive me, I just want to be a little policeman in an idle department waiting to die... "
"Don't make trouble. When I first came back, I was just a petty citizen who ate and waited to die. Didn't this wish come true?"
Xu Shenxing also said with emotion.
…
This is a rather spacious room. There is a huge map pasted on the wall of the room. The map depicts the entire Jiangjin City in detail.
But more importantly, Jiang Jin's spiritual veins seemed to be marked with a highlighter on this map.
Judging from the map, Jiang Jin's spiritual vein looks like a giant dragon twisted into an S shape, but there are many branch spiritual veins distributed where the dragon's beard and five claws are located.
Although even a cultivator can only rely on perception and hexagrams to find and detect the spiritual veins, but for the mushroom-headed girl who is the god of the earth, as long as she casts a little spell, the spiritual veins are like shining in the dark night. As conspicuous as the spotlight.
"Well, it turns out that the breath soil from the undead laurel can only be blocked for a while, so it's not a long-term solution." Because the save file was deleted and she could only carry on her work sadly, she checked the condition of the spirit veins, and couldn't help but Some frowned slightly: "No wonder Dayu used this thing to block it for a long time, and finally came to the conclusion that blocking it is worse than sparse... This thing is simply suitable for spiritual soil for planting, and it has failed to block things..."
Fortunately, with Zhen Chuan Yin and Xi Rang in hand, Jiang Jin's spiritual veins could barely maintain a relatively stable state. Although it is said to be "a moment", it is based on the god's view of time. If it is converted into the secular world, it can probably guarantee that there will be no accidents for two to three hundred years.
— that's how it should have been.
"Strange, the direction of the spirit vein...why did it suddenly change?"
Loli, the land god, who hadn't found any abnormalities in the original inspection, was about to leave the study room for work to see if she could retrieve the game archives, but suddenly found that the fluorescent lines representing the spiritual veins flickered on the map strange state.
"How is this possible! Only one piece of land, or a more advanced earth god system, can change the direction of the spiritual veins... Could it be that?!"
Just as she was about to do something, the underground shrine where she lived suddenly shook violently!
You know, this is the residence of the gods, and it is also the shrine of the god of the earth. Even a magnitude 12 earthquake will not affect this place in the slightest. Since the girl took office as the God of Land, only Jasmine and Xu Shenxing have ever invaded here—the former can directly ignore the barrier of the God Realm, and use a method that the land god Lolita doesn't even know about to get inside; the latter can directly use The fist directly smashed the dividing line between the gods and the secular world (and smashed the land god into the floor by the way)...
Soon, there was feedback from the alarm formula set by the land god: some invisible monster had slipped in.
"You can enter here, but you will be discovered by this kind of unskilled alarm technique... In other words, was this vicious visitor sent in by someone else? Can you break through the land shrine so easily?" The existence of the boundary, apart from those two monsters, there is only the adult who also has the authority of the shrine... I haven't seen you for four hundred years, have you really fallen to this point?"
