Chapter 24 Unexpected
"It's useless, you can't escape!" Dugu Fan said.

"That's not necessarily true!" Although the masked man in black was stabbed several times, he still stood upright.

"You can give it a try!" Before he could finish his words, Dugu Fan had already dodged towards him.

The moment he approached, the masked man in black leaned back sharply to avoid his swing of the sword. At the same time, he flipped the blade in his hand and stabbed Dugu Fan in the back at an extremely tricky angle.

As if Dugu Fan had expected this move in advance, he kicked his leg back and accurately missed his blade.

Chang Ze saw the right moment and struck the masked man in black with a sword before he could straighten up.

The masked man in black frowned and subconsciously moved to one side.

however……

Even so, he still received a blow to his arm.

The smell of blood in the air seemed to be a little stronger at this moment.

"You two, master and servant, really have a tacit understanding of your cooperation!" The masked man in black sneered, holding the knife and retreating slowly.

The guards behind him clenched their swords little by little as he approached, ready to rush forward at any time.

The masked man in black suddenly laughed. The next moment, he suddenly turned around, split open the guard in front of him, and jumped up.

Dugufan's pupils suddenly shrank, and he subconsciously rushed over, trying to catch him, but it was too late.

"You can't catch me, even... a corpse!"

As the body of the masked man in black continued to fall, the last sound disappeared completely under the bottomless cliff.

"..." Lu Zhaozhao.

The moment she saw him leaping, the vague suspicion in her heart was finally confirmed!

Maybe……

From the moment he learned that he was ambushed, he had already made his choice!

and so……

That will lead people here!
Even though he can't escape, he can decide how to die!

Things have developed to this point, which is beyond the expectations of most people.

"No! He must be sick! He's going to die anyway, why didn't he even leave a whole body for himself?" Xiao Yihan couldn't help but curse.

He had made the worst plan from the beginning. If he couldn't catch anyone alive, he would catch him dead. But it didn't work out. He worked hard all night, but in the end, he didn't catch him alive. Even if he died, he wouldn't be left with a body. Tomorrow morning, wouldn't he be scolded bloody by the emperor again?

"He must be afraid that we will find useful clues from him, so he jumped off the cliff and completely destroyed his body and clues!" Dugufan looked deeply at the bottomless cliff.

"He had a great idea!" Xiao Yihan gritted his teeth and said, "Even if he falls into a pile of mud, as long as the body is still there, the clues will still be there. At most, it will take some effort to get his body up from the bottom of the cliff!"

"It's best to get his body up within twelve hours, otherwise we won't be able to get any useful information from his face and palms!" Lu Zhaozhao interjected, and at the end, added: "Of course, he will The sooner the body is retrieved, the more information can be revealed!"

When Xiao Yihan heard this, he immediately said: "I will gather the troops right now and personally lead people down the cliff to get the body up!"

Dugufan glanced at him: "With your three-legged cat skills, you'd better stay on the cliff to avoid slowing down the progress!"

"..." Xiao Yihan.

Why does he feel that he is despised?
"Chang Ze! You personally lead a team of people and go down the cliff to get the body up!" Dugu Fan ordered.

"Yes!" Chang Ze responded.

He quickly selected a dozen uninjured guards, made simple torches, and led them to find a way down the cliff. "You take the injured back for treatment first, and arrange for the dead guards to be buried alive. As for their relatives, send someone to send more money!" Dugufan said to Xiao Yihan: "I am waiting for news here! "

"Okay! I'll do it right away!" Xiao Yihan.

"Go back with them!" Dugu Fan turned his eyes to Lu Zhaozhao.

Lu Zhaozhao nodded: "Okay!"

She can't help much here, so she might as well go back and recuperate, and then help them a little after the bodies are brought up!
-

Lu Zhaozhao slept until noon, his head feeling groggy.

He rubbed his somewhat messy hair and slowly sat up.

After calming down for a while, he looked out the window.

After seeing the bright sun, I was slightly stunned.

It is……

What time is it?

Thinking about this, Lu Zhaozhao got up quickly, put on his clothes, tied his hair casually, and opened the door.

"It's already noon, why didn't anyone wake me up? Could it be..." Lu Zhaozhao frowned: "...the body hasn't been brought up yet?"

As soon as this guess came out, Lu Zhaozhao hurriedly went to find someone to ask.

But after turning around, I didn't see half a person.

Lu Zhaozhao had no choice but to walk towards the cell. Fortunately, as soon as he entered the cell, he saw a familiar figure.

"Sister! Why are you here?" Liu Baoyuan took three steps at a time and came closer.

"Where are the patrol guards outside? Why are they missing?" Lu Zhaozhao asked, expressing his doubts.

"Most of them have been transferred away by the prince. The others may have happened to be patrolling in other places, so you didn't see anyone!" Liu Baoyuan said.

When Lu Zhaozhao heard this, an answer he was waiting for suddenly spread in his mind: "The prince suddenly transferred so many people, could it be that the murderer's body hasn't been found yet?"

"To be precise, the body has not been found yet!" Liu Baoyuan lowered his voice: "I heard that Chang Ze led people at the bottom of the cliff last night and searched carefully all night, but they did not find the murderer's body..."

"Logically speaking, it's impossible!" Lu Zhaozhao frowned: "The murderer was seriously injured when he jumped off the cliff. Therefore, no matter how high his martial arts skills are, it is impossible for him to leave completely. And as long as he cannot leave in time, then Regardless of whether he is alive or dead, after a night of searching, he should be found!"

"I haven't finished speaking yet!" Liu Baoyuan reminded, and continued: "There happened to be a rapid river under the cliff. They guessed that the murderer should have just fallen into the river and been washed away by the river; that's why the prince gathered his troops. , search down the river and try to find the murderer’s body as soon as possible!”

"..." Lu Zhaozhao.

Is it such a coincidence?

"I heard that you gave them twelve hours to bring the body back. Now that nearly seven hours have passed, I wonder if they can find the body in time?" Liu Baoyuan was a little worried.

"..." Lu Zhaozhao.

She was also worried, could they bring the body back in time?

Once more than twelve hours pass, the murderer's body will become meaningless to her!

Seeing her frown, Liu Baoyuan secretly scolded himself for talking too much and quickly changed the subject.

"Master Xiao is interrogating Master Wang angrily at the moment. Do you want to go over and have a look?"
