Heaven Defying Formation Mage

Chapter 37 The Strange Murder Case

Zhou Yuan died, and the death was still very strange.

Jing Xingyou clearly saw the satisfied and happy smile on Zhou Yuan's bruised face, and a chilling feeling quietly rose.

To be precise, Zhou Yuan has already been disfigured.Anyone who let a pot of freshly boiled water poured down his face will be completely changed.What's more, he poured it with a kettle by himself.

However, this did not prevent Jing Xingyou from recognizing Zhou Yuanlai.The years of training at Qixingtai have given Jing Xingyou the habit of paying attention to details.Zhou Yuan's attire remained unchanged, his belt was buttoned from right to left habitually, and some yellowish-brown soil remained on the soles of his black boots.These features all proved that the unrecognizable corpse in front of him was Zhou Yuan who he had just met two hours ago.

Thinking of Zhou Yuan holding a kettle to cook his own dough while smiling incomparably comfortable and happy, Jing Xingyou felt his goosebumps explode one by one.

Situ Haoran's expression was also ugly, but he was born in the royal family after all, and he had seen many horrific scenes of torture criminals, so even if he felt disgusted in his heart, he could still maintain his superficial calmness.His pretty eyebrows furrowed, and he covered his nose and asked the inspector of the corpse: "How did he die?"

Situ Haoran has already learned about Zhou Yuan's identity from Jing Xingyou, and also knows that this person is the star envoy of the Xingxiu Palace.The minimum strength of the Celestial Messenger is also above the fifth-level array mage or fifth-level beginner warrior, and Zhou Yuan is even an eighth-level beginner warrior. If he said that he burned himself to death, it would be a fantasy!

Those who can work in the government office are not old and cunning, and they have long seen that Situ Haoran and Jing Xingyou have extraordinary backgrounds.Hearing Situ Haoran's question at this time, the over fifty-year-old curator hurriedly explained humbly: "This young man poured boiling water down his throat, which scalded his esophagus and trachea, and his lungs were also full of water. It can be said that he was scalded to death, but it can also be said that he died by drowning."

Are you kidding me?Situ Haoran stared at the master, who was breaking out in a cold sweat, and then said coldly: "This is an inn! It's not rivers, lakes and seas, why do you talk about drowning?"

"Young master, this is really unimaginable." Wu Zuo secretly groaned in his heart.He has been an author for more than 30 years, but he has never seen such a bizarre way of death.Perhaps, this person's death has something to do with those practitioners?Wu Zuo knew that there were a lot of talented people who practiced in the academy, but these people were not something that ordinary people like him could afford.Facing Situ Haoran's questioning, Wu Zuo could only smile wryly: "But the villain dared to guarantee his life, and this young man did die because of it. As for how to commit the crime, the villain doesn't know."

Wu Zuo is only responsible for examining the corpses, and the police of the Yamen are responsible for investigating the case.After all, Jing Xingyou and Situ Haoran came a step late, there were already police officers in the inn to check, and they couldn't directly give orders to them, so they had to ask as friends.

"You two, this inn is full of people coming and going. There are so many guests. Who knows who has entered this room? Moreover, according to the inspection, the deceased seems to have committed suicide." The policeman looked very helpless, he It's weird, it's beyond his ability.

Jing Xingyou calmed down after the initial shock, and suggested very modestly: "If it is suicide, there are many ways to choose. Who would choose to burn themselves to death? What's more, people have survival instincts. How can you drown yourself with a pot of water? This policeman, please also seal up this inn. Check to see if anyone has checked in or checked out of this inn within these two hours. I believe that the murderer may Haven't left yet."

It has to be said that even though Jing Xingyou was protected from being spotless, his thinking was very clear after something happened.

The inn was quickly sealed off, and the police patted the door one by one to call the guests staying inside to come out and check

It was naturally inconvenient for Situ Haoran and Jing Xingyou to participate in the official case, so they stood on the top floor of the attic and watched.

Finally, after checking several waves of guests who had no problem, the police officers came across a door that was closed tightly no matter how much they slammed and yelled.

The policeman saw that the door was bolted inside, so he called Xiao Er and asked, "Xiao Er, who is this person here?"

"Returning to the official, it's two little girls!" The waiter wiped off his sweat, secretly looked at the closed door, thought for a while and added, "It seems that I drank a lot of wine..."

"Who knows if drinking is a cover-up!" The policeman sneered, "Kick me away!"

Under normal circumstances, if there are female guests staying in the room, they will usually pay attention to the impact, so as not to damage the reputation of the female guests.But now, the two upstairs people who are obviously of prominent background and extraordinary background are supervising him and others to handle the case. If there is a negligence, it is inevitable that the official position will be lost or even disaster will be caused.

As the saying goes, dogs rely on people's power, and it is probably true.

So those arresters kicked open the closed door unceremoniously, and a strong, sour and disgusting smell came over the room, making the arresters who were about to rush in couldn't help covering their noses .

"This doesn't look like a girl's room!" The policeman who was closest to the door took a step back and couldn't help but say.

Jing Xingyou and Situ Haoran, who were standing on the attic opposite to this room, didn't smell the smell, but saw the scene in the room through the open door, and then both of them gave a surprise surprise.

Jing Xingyou was simply surprised, his eyes were clear, and his expression was still indifferent.

After seeing the images of the two people in the room clearly, Situ Haoran frowned while being surprised, his face full of contempt.

In the room, two figures were lying side by side on a big bed. It could be seen that the two girls were still in their teens, reeking of alcohol, obviously one of them had vomited, the side of the bed and the floor were full of mess, There were bursts of stench.

Indecent!It's so indecent!
Everyone who saw them couldn't help but frowned, deeply feeling that these two girls lost their composure and had no tutors at all.

"Hey! Wake up! Wake up!" Although the policeman disliked the smell, he had no choice but to enter the room patiently, and then stretched out his hand to push the two sleeping girls.

Situ Haoran, who has always paid great attention to etiquette and image, couldn't help but look away, as if he didn't recognize the appearance of the two girls.

Although Jing Xingyou was surprised, he couldn't help laughing out loud after seeing the reaction of the skinny girl sleeping outside.

The little girl sleeping on the outside was pushed twice and turned over. Just when everyone thought she had regained some consciousness and was about to stand up, she grabbed the policeman's arm and bit her hard. Going down, he hummed: "Pig trotters, it smells so good!"
