A heavy rain that had been accumulated for a long time finally fell, and even Nanchu, which had been maintaining a high temperature, began to turn cold.
Amidst the thunder and lightning, Xiang Linglong's chief guard was still investigating the cause of the city lord's death, but maybe even Xiang Linglong didn't realize how she died. He did guard against Lide's assassination, mobilized experts from all walks of life to secretly protect the City Lord's Mansion, and set up many eyeliners near the inn where Lide settled, but he still failed to escape the disaster.
Only Lid looked at the little ghost floating in the air, and asked with a smile:
"What kind of dream did he have?"
The little ghost thought for a while and replied:
"The world is peaceful and the world is unified."
Lide let out a breath and said with emotion:
"That's really a feat... Xiang Linglong is a talented person. If he came here as an ordinary investigation team, he would either return without success or die unexpectedly. Seven investigation teams died one after another, and he is still in the position of the city lord." Sitting as firmly as Mount Tai, you can't do it if you don't have any ability. It's a pity that only one of us and him can survive, and if I want to live, I can only trouble him to report to hell."
The little ghost held up the sign with the expression on it, and continued:
"Ordinary people shouldn't be able to find me, but it's better to bury him as soon as possible. Don't tell me if someone finds out. [ψ(*｀ー?)ψ]"
Lid nodded.
At this moment, Xiang Zhehua pushed the door open, and the little ghost immediately got into Lide's wrist. Xiang Zhehua looked around suspiciously, and asked:
"Who were you talking to just now?"
Lide pointed to his head, and said casually:
"Do you see anyone else here? I am communicating with my 28th sub-personality about the next battle plan."
Naturally Xiang Zhehua didn't believe it, but Lide made such a gag, she couldn't continue asking. So he smoothed the wrinkles of his clothes, threw an oiled paper umbrella to Lide, and said:
"I announced the news of Xiang Linglong's death as you said, and now everyone in the city knows about it. The City Lord's Mansion also seems to be in chaos. What are your plans next?"
Lide drank the tea in the cup, put the teacup on the wooden table, stood up holding the umbrella, and said to Zhehua:
"Go to the City Lord's Mansion and search for it yourself."
Xiang Zhehua was shocked and said:
"Are you crazy? Because of Xiang Linglong's death, everyone in the city lord's mansion can't wait to cut you into pieces! Maybe I can survive by relying on my background, what should you do?"
Lide tried the umbrella in his hand, and after confirming that there was nothing wrong with it, he walked outside:
"That's the way to go. As long as they don't have any evidence that Xiang Linglong was killed by me, I'm now the leader of the investigation team. Before the new city owner takes office, no one in Jinxiu City is qualified to fight against me. If you call me with long eyes, it doesn't hurt to be a traitor and kill him."
Xiang Zhehua sighed, but still followed after holding the umbrella.
Xiang Linglong's chief guard was thinking about how to attack Li De, who had already kicked open the gate of the City Lord's Mansion in the heavy rain.
The servants in the city lord's mansion immediately filed out, blocking Lide in the front yard, pointing all kinds of weapons at Lide's head.
Someone in the crowd followed Xiang Linglong to the inn, and after recognizing Lide's identity, he asked suspiciously:
"Leader, the investigation team leader...?"
Lide shook his sleeves, took out a pre-written official document, handed it to Xiang Zhehua, and said:
"Decree."
Xiang Zhehua cleared his throat, and said in a cold voice:
"The lord of Jinxiu City, Xiang Linglong, devoted herself to the bloody clothes case. Now that she is killed unfortunately, someone must not want to investigate the bloody clothes case to the end! There is an inner ghost in the city lord's mansion, and Jinxiu City has no leader. As the person in charge of the investigation team, we cannot just watch Seeing that the whole case has come to a standstill again, I now issue an order that no one in the City Lord's Mansion, whether public or private, is allowed to leave the City Lord's Mansion, or they will be severely punished! We will search the City Lord's Mansion to find out who is buried next to Xiang Linglong Inner ghost, to comfort Linglong's spirit in heaven!"
As soon as the words fell, there was an angry roar from the crowd:
"Stop them, don't let the two of them in!"
The servant parted the way, and the head of the guard walked out with a cold face, his tense muscles stretching his hulking figure to the extreme, obviously on the verge of rage.
The head guard stood in front of Li De and Xiang Zhehua, his eyes wide open:
"You still dare to come to the door... The death of the city lord is inseparable from you! Come here, take it down for me!"
Lide slapped the chief guard on the face and knocked him to the ground.
The servants rushed forward, gritted their teeth at Zhehua, and drew their swords to protect Lide. But before the servants got close, they heard Lide's cold voice:
"Think about it. Draw your sword to me, it's like a rebellion."
The footsteps of the servants slowed down, but the chief guard shouted sharply:
"Think about who provided you with food and drink, and who gave you a foothold! Hurry up and take him down, and avenge the city lord—"
Lid kicked him until he was vomiting bitterly. The chief guard usually thinks he is in a good state, but at this time he has no strength to fight back at all. He only felt that Lide's kick was vaguely sharp and internal. At first, it pierced into the muscle like a long sword, and then it was like a sledgehammer hitting his internal organs to shift its position.
The head guard curled up and fell to the ground, like a cooked shrimp.
Lide looked at the people present, patted the dust on his body, and said with a smile:
"He wants to kill me because when the new city lord arrives soon, he will go to prison and execute him because of incompetent guards. He instigated you to kill me in order to save his own life. I heard Xiang Linglong's death was strange , Maybe it was your chief guard who killed you, you are lowly, it is best not to get involved in such a case."
The servants looked at each other, and most of them put down their weapons.
Of course, someone who was extremely loyal to Linglong rushed forward, and then died in an instant.
Li De glanced at Xiang Zhehua, Xiang Zhehua put the search warrant written by Li De into his arms, and sheathed the long sword by the way.
He stepped over the blood on the ground, stepped over the head of the guard who was dying, and stepped into the gate of the city lord's mansion.
He only issued a one-word order to Xiang Zhehua:
"Search."
As soon as he raised his hand, the rockery in the yard was directly shattered into pieces, the pool with many koi carps was torn apart, the clear water seeped into the mud, and the fish without water flapped their tails. The flower bushes were broken or uprooted, and the sound of broken bricks and tiles falling to the ground was clear and pleasant.
The huge City Lord's Mansion no longer has any dead ends, and the once restricted area is now opening its arms to people.
Xiang Zhehua took a deep breath, her education made her look down on someone being so reckless, but she also knew that it was a race against time. The new city lord will probably come here to take office in the near future, and if he tries to search at that time, his reputation will be unfair. She and Li De had to find some decisive evidence from Xiang Linglong's territory before the new city lord came.
In this game, either you die or I die.
