"I found them when I sent people to search everywhere. In order to protect the scene, I did not move them."
The temple looked very desolate, with weeds all over the ground and dust everywhere. It seemed that no one had been here for a long time.
The air was filled with the smell of hay, mixed with a hint of mold.
"No smell of blood." Emperor Shi Tian said calmly as his beautiful phoenix eyes swept around. It was not a question, but another question.
"Your Majesty, that is indeed the case. When these corpses were found, there was no smell of blood, and there was no trace of blood on the ground. It was as if these corpses were placed here intentionally. There were only white bones and tattered clothes."
Although the clothes were torn, they were still worn. They had not been taken off. This is the biggest mystery of the case so far!
How did this murderer kill people
"The identities of these corpses were also determined through their clothes and bone features. Otherwise, we would have no idea who was who. The murderer's methods were cruel and unheard of. I am ashamed that to this day, I still haven't figured out what the murderer's method of killing is." When saying this, Liu Minsheng's face was solemn, and it was obvious that he was sad.
"The reason." Emperor Shi Tian didn't say much, and blurted out two more words.
Liu Minsheng was slightly stunned, but soon he was relieved, and then continued: "I have investigated from all aspects, but the murderer's crime targets are too random, almost no trace can be found. Sometimes I even feel that this murderer kills whoever he wants, completely based on his mood, without any clear characteristics."
Emperor Shitian was not disappointed with the results of Liu Minsheng's investigation.
I don't know why, but this time, Emperor Shitian himself also had a bad feeling in his heart. He always felt that there was a huge conspiracy behind this matter.
He walked forward, looked at the corpse, then squatted down and examined it carefully.
There were only bones, no flesh and blood. It was as if it had been shaved clean bit by bit, and the entire skeleton looked extremely clean. If it weren't for the tattered clothes covering it, one would have thought it was a human model.
So clean, and in such a short period of time, to kill so many people. Either this is a gang crime, or this murderer is not a normal human being at all!
Apart from this, there is no third explanation that can explain what is happening before our eyes.
"And except for our Yanglin Thirteen Weeks, the same case has occurred in other border villages. Not only in Tianze, but in the entire Tianhe Continent and border villages, it is like this. So far, the only clue we have obtained is that this criminal is not targeting just our Tianze country, but every country. So I guess, is it possible that this was done by the legendary mysterious and unpredictable hidden family?" Otherwise, who in this world can have the strength to fight against the entire Tianhe Continent.
Emperor Shitian didn't say anything. He just took a bone from the corpse, wrapped it in white gauze, and walked out of the temple.
The sun is rising high in the sky, the sun is shining brightly, the birds are singing happily on the branches, and the clouds are changing their postures gracefully.
The exquisiteness of the Thirteen Prefectures of Yanglin is superb, but it is stained with blood. The invisible big hand is wantonly trampling on the lives of these people, mercilessly and without humanity.
Looking at the scorching sun, Emperor Shitian fell into meditation.
In the Phoenix Palace:
Feng Xian'er came to visit Shangguan Yunxiao several times, but was turned away by Hong Yan and others. Although she was unhappy, she knew that Hong Yan was Shangguan Yunxiao's new favorite and it was not easy to offend him, so she did not show it.
However, this could not stop her determination to meet Shangguan Yunxiao.
It's not that she was anxious, but Feng Qingcheng had just died, and the position of the Crown Princess was vacant, which not only made the various countries eye her covetously, but also made her princesses worried. If this matter was not settled as soon as possible, she was worried that if the foreign threat could not be eliminated, it would cause internal strife.
If it really comes to this, the situation will be out of control.
Originally, she only needed an imperial decree to decide the position of the crown princess. But Shangguan Yunxiao was no longer the same as before. No matter what decision was made, it had to be approved by her. She didn't want a happy event to turn into a funeral, which was unlucky.
They must not let other countries laugh at the Feng Kingdom.
What happened to Tian'er was embarrassing enough, and nothing else could go wrong.
With the best supplements, she once again came to Luoyun Palace where Shangguan Yunxiao lived. With the lessons learned from the previous times, she learned her lesson this time and changed her strategy. Just now, she had sent someone to send Hong Yan, the pretty boy, away.
Now, let’s see who can stop me.
Arriving at the gate of Luoyun Palace, Feng Xian'er looked around. As expected, there was no one there, and then she walked straight in.
He walked to Shangguan Yunxiao's door and stretched out his hand. Before the creaking sound of the door opening could be heard, Hong Yan's angry voice was heard.
"Hey, hey, hey, you old woman, what do you want to do? Didn't I tell you that my master is not well and won't see guests? Why don't you listen? I have a really bad temper, I tell you. If it weren't for my master's face, I would have punched you a long time ago..." Hong Yan said as he rolled up his sleeves and touched his arms and ran over. The master said that they had to keep a low profile in this broken place and couldn't use space to move, so they could only run.
However, Feng Xian'er's hand was already on the door, would she retreat
The answer is no!
With a creak, the door opened and Hong Yan was stunned.
She thought: It's over, it's all over now. When the master left, she told me that she must not be discovered by others. It was all his fault. He didn't even watch the door carefully and let this damn old woman in.
It’s over, it’s over. In an instant, I felt like the world was collapsing.
Just when Hong Yan felt that the sky was falling and the earth was splitting apart, a pleasant voice rang in his ears like the sound of nature.
"Hongyan, how can you be so rude to the emperor? Why don't you step back?" The clear voice, with a hint of newly awakened charm and familiar tone, made Hongyan feel like he was hallucinating for a moment.
Turning his head, looking back, he was wearing a purple dress, a white veil covering his face, and a pair of purple eyes, so smart and unparalleled. Who else could have such an extraordinary temperament, a cold and noble posture except his master Xia Ling'er.
"Master!" Seeing Ling'er, Hong Yan couldn't hide his excitement and shouted out. His voice was slightly amazed, but more surprised.
From an angle that no one else could see, her lively eyes blinked at Hong Yan, signaling him to close his mouth that was wide open due to excessive surprise. Although Feng Xian'er was not an exceptionally shrewd person, she still had to put on a full performance.
After all, she is a person who pursues perfection and pays attention to rigor.
Receiving Ling'er's eyes, Hong Yan immediately came back to his senses, lowered his head slightly, and then said aggrievedly: "Can you blame others for being rude? It's all because of that old lady... No, no, no, it was the emperor who forced me to do it." Hong Yan twisted her body aggrievedly while speaking, just like a young wife who was bullied by her mother-in-law. She was so aggrieved.
Ling'er couldn't stand the awkward look and felt uncomfortable in her stomach.
However, I have to say that Hong Yan is indeed a living treasure, and the trip to Feng Country was not in vain.
Look, after just a few days here, I have really learned the shyness of men in this country where women are superior.
“My master clearly told us not to see guests, but…but the emperor keeps trying to force his way in. I’m so anxious. Otherwise, how could such a gentle man like me be rude to others? Master, master, I know I was wrong…” He grabbed Ling’er’s arm with both hands and shook it continuously.
At this moment, Ling'er was completely speechless.
My god, this Feng Country is really not a place for people to stay. Hong Yan has only been here for a few days and he has become like this. If he stays any longer, he will become a transvestite...
Suddenly, such a picture appeared in Ling'er's mind. Hong Yan, Feng Ling, Xuan Yi, all followed him shyly, calling him "Master", and repeatedly calling themselves "others"...
Oh shit, this is too scary.
"Ahem, ahem, alright, alright. I get it. I'll teach you a lesson later. Now step back." If you don't step back, I really can't stand it anymore... Of course, Ling'er didn't say this.
"Yes, Master. Thank you for not committing a crime. I will withdraw now. Master, please don't miss me too much."
"… "
"Yun'er, why did you go outside? When the Queen heard that you were ill, she was very worried. She wanted to come to see you several times, but was blocked by you...your people. But the Queen was worried when she didn't see you, so she was so anxious. As for your son, he has a quick temper, so you don't have to blame him."
Ling'er smiled at Fengxian'er and walked towards her.
"Yun'er is fine, don't worry too much, Queen Mother. My people just bumped into you, Yun'er apologizes on his behalf. He was brought back from somewhere else, and he doesn't quite understand the rules of our country where women are supreme. I hope Queen Mother won't take it to heart." As he spoke, he had already walked to the door of the room, "Since Queen Mother is here, come in."
Then, the two of them entered the room one after another.
"Yun'er got up early today. Seeing that the weather outside was good, she wanted to go out for some fresh air. I didn't expect that the Queen Mother would come. She has worried about her these past few days. Yun'er is not well."
Ling'er bent down and bowed slightly.
"Yun'er, please get up and sit down. Since you are not feeling well, why do you still care about so many etiquettes? Although you and I are not mother and son in the eyes of outsiders, you are my daughter, and I know it in my heart. I will never ask anything of you. As long as you are well, it will be the greatest comfort to your mother. Come, sit down quickly." (To be continued)
