Chapter 501: Secret Realm of Hundred Flowers (VI)

Snapped!

Zhao Laogou suddenly flicked his finger, and the dark blood immediately stuck to the blood line in the middle of the bloodhound's forehead.

The bloodhound shuddered and stood as still as death.

In an instant, a pair of will-o'-the-wisp green pupils opened, staring straight at Fang Shouming.

"...."

When Fang Shouming saw this sight, he suddenly felt a chill all over his body and shivered.

This bloodhound gave him the feeling that it was harmless to humans and animals just a second ago. But the change in the next second was as terrifying as the devil.

Even he had no reason to be afraid.

People in the devil's path like Zhao Laogou follow their own desires, regardless of moral rules and Jianghu rules, and only care about their own happiness, not only because of their unrestrained character, ideas, and behavior, which are different from ordinary people.

The most important point is that demon warriors are those who have really had contact with the demon clan, have joined the demon clan, and know one or two demon clan secret arts.

This is the real reason why it is called the magic way.

But Fang Shouming no longer cares about justice. The most important thing at the moment is to find the real murderer.

"Go ahead..."

Zhao Laogou, who used the demon's secret technique, turned extremely pale and his movements were somewhat deformed.

Obviously, this secret technique also caused a lot of consumption and damage to himself.

The bloodhound first paused at the window lattice, and then suddenly rushed out the window like an arrow from a string.

"Follow up!"

Zhao Laogou quickly reminded, and Fang Shouming followed closely.

The two of them closely followed the bloodhound step by step, watching it first follow the edge of the flower lake, follow the water downward, and finally come to a remote rocky beach on the shore.

The bloodhound, whose special abilities were activated by the demon's secret technique, was truly extraordinary. After many days, it actually showed Han Yi's original escape route in detail.

"This place seems to be on the edge of Huahu Lake. Basically no one comes here..."

Fang Shouming looked at his surroundings with a puzzled expression. He didn't know what use he could get here.

"All the clues are interrupted here..." Zhao Laogou seemed to have some unique way of communicating with dogs, and he quickly got the information he wanted.

"You mean, this is where the murderer last appeared?" Fang Shouming asked.

"Yes, all the traces are interrupted when they reach this side. This can bring about two possibilities.

First, because of the remote environment and strong water vapor, all traces will be washed away. Second, the murderer was extremely cautious. Not only did he hide his entire body, he also sprinkled special powder remover around the area to eliminate traces of the smell.

Here, I prefer the second possibility. "

Zhao Laogou analyzed it carefully. The inference he drew last time turned out to be fruitless. While he was greatly annoyed, he also showed his true skills this time.

This is a secret technique of the demons that will shorten your lifespan.

"No matter which possibility it is, as you said, we have no clue and are in a dead end." Fang Shouming frowned.

In his opinion, there is no difference between the two possibilities, whether it is said or not.

What's the use of just having conclusions?

Not being able to find the murderer was not the answer he wanted to hear.

Roar......

At this time, the bloodhound beside him suddenly let out a low roar and plunged into the lake.

Zhao Laogou didn't bother to answer Fang Shouming's question and ran over quickly.

Not long after, he squatted by the lake and took a dark thing from the bloodhound's mouth.

"Master Fang!" He shouted, as if he had found some key clue.

When Fang Shouming heard the sound, he was stunned for a moment, and then he recognized the thing: "This, is this the clothes of the murderer that day?!!!"

What Zhao Laogou held in his hand was a piece of black cloth.

It was about the size of a cattail leaf fan, with greasy green moss on it, and the cloth strips were riddled with holes, as if they had been damaged by something.

Even though it has been washed away by the water, it can still be seen that the cloth is of good quality and made of some special material.

"Sure enough..." Zhao Laogou's eyes were filled with joy as he stared at the black cloth in his hand.

“This should be where the murderer dealt with his own traces.

The murderer hurriedly fled here after committing the crime. He used deodorant powder to cover up his smell. Then he simply disposed of the black robe he wore during the murder, changed into the clothes he had prepared long ago, swaggered and hid in the crowd, and left. Got out..."

Before he finished speaking, he suddenly paused, as if he had thought of something, and jumped into the lake as well.

Soon, he swam up wetly, holding a piece of black cloth in his hand.

This cycle went back and forth, and soon, half of the tattered black robe was pieced together in this way.

Even if it was only half of it, the whole thing looked like a broken mop, but it was extremely wide, completely in line with the figure of the man in black seen by previous witnesses.

"My guess is correct. This should be the last place where the real murderer changed his clothes after he succeeded, and then disguised himself as an innocent passerby and left calmly." Zhao Laogou said with certainty.

"If these are the clothes of that person that day, as long as we find the source of the clothes and follow the clues, we can find the real culprit!"

Fang Shouming was also ecstatic, knowing that he had found an important clue.

Although the black robe was incomplete, the murderer's weight and body shape could be inferred based on its size.

"Yes, this kind of specially made clothes usually come from several secret shops. I have a good relationship with many of them. If I inquire about them one by one, I should be able to catch the murderer."

Zhao Laogou also had a smile on his face. As a member of the devil's path, he was very familiar with these items flowing out of the black market.

He was also a regular customer of these black market items before.

"By the way, Mr. Fang, there is one more thing you need to pay attention to." He reminded Fang Shouming, "The location here is extremely remote. I suspect that the murderer may be someone who knows Jingtianzhuang very well, so he knows all kinds of secret routes. It’s crystal clear.”

In fact, his speculation was not complete. He even felt that the murderer was most likely an insider of Jingtian Village.

It's just that this speculation is contrary to the conclusion he reached last time.

So he couldn't explain it directly, just a vague reminder.

"I have already suspected this matter..." Fang Shouming's eyes flashed.

In fact, after investigating the people around Chen Lingmo and finding no suspicious objects, he had some suspicions that it might be someone from Zhao Ziyang who was doing something secretly.

Otherwise, the timing would not have been so coincidental.

Just when Chen Lingmo was about to take action, something happened.

Now one after the other, the conclusion just verified the previous guess.

"Don't make this matter public for now." Fang Shouming said slowly, "Old dog, you first find out the origin of this clothes and identify the real culprit before making a decision."

His thoughts changed rapidly.

If Chen Lingmo was really injured by someone sent by Zhao Ziyang...

Well, now is an opportunity.

A once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to turn the situation around.

This is a great opportunity for Chen Ying to completely fall in love with their father and son, and jointly deal with Zhao Ziyang, and then bring peace to his father.

An idea gradually began to emerge in Fang Shouming's mind.

The corners of his mouth grew wider and wider, and he gradually burst into uncontrollable laughter.

...

...

Jingming Town, Inspection Mansion.

"Okay, these are the arrangements for this quarter. If you have something to do during my absence these days, you can go to Chen Jiuli next door for small things, and for big things, you can go to my senior sister Zhong Han.

The two of them are not far apart. If anything happens, they should be able to arrive in time. "

In the magnificent living room, Han Yi sat in the main seat and looked at the three hall masters under his command.

"Especially you, Xiaoling, you are the first to serve as the hall leader and have little experience. If you are unsure about anything, you can ask them both for advice."

He looked at the two hall masters Zhu Haishan and Qu Qiao: "You two, please help Xiaoling more. Although we have a small number of people in Qiyun Mountain, we must unite and have one heart."

Zhu Haishan and Qu Qiao nodded repeatedly and agreed.

The other woman next to her, with an average appearance and a very dull and honest feeling, also quickly agreed.

Luo Meiwei died, and Han Yi promoted someone from Lotus Hall to take his place.

Huang Qingling was an old disciple of Lotus Hall who had worked diligently for many years.

According to Han Yi's observation, this woman was the most ostracized by Luo Meiwei in the Lotus Hall because of her upright character and poor rhetoric.

Han Yi simply promoted her to the position of hall leader, took over Luo Meiwei's responsibilities, and was directly responsible for managing the logistics and finance of the industry.

In addition to Huang Qingling, many people in the Lotus Hall who had unclear relationships with Luo Meiwei were also replaced by him.

He was also frightened by Luo Meiwei. If there was another contraband incident, there would really be no place to cry.

After making plans for the subsequent industries, Han Yi waved his hands, stood up and left when seeing that the three of them were fine.

In the study room on the second floor, the housekeeper Yang Du packed a suitcase early and respectfully waited for Han Yi to come over.

"Master, I have brought all the things I want to bring this time. Can you take a look?"

"Okay, no need. Go down and talk to Lao Li and we'll set off in a moment." Han Yi ordered.

"Okay." Yang Du nodded and walked down quickly.

Han Yi picked up the package and walked slowly towards the courtyard.

In fact, the contents of this package are not valuables, but mostly exquisite small gifts for meeting.

This time he went back to Jingtian Village, more or less, to bring some small things for his master and senior sisters.

A few days ago, he just received a letter from Zhong Yunxiu.

It seemed that there was an extra spot in the secret realm in the inner courtyard, and he was asked if he wanted to go and asked for his opinion.

Han Yi agreed without thinking at that time.

His thoughts coincided with Zhong Yunxiu's.

Now, Fang He's side is most anxious and nervous. If he can't find something for a long time, he might jump over the wall in a hurry.

At that time, it will be Han Yi's most dangerous moment.

Therefore, at the current time point, it is also a wise choice for Han Yi to go out and hide.

Soon, the coachman Lao Li and his old horse came to Han Yi.

Han Yi didn't say anything more, nodded and sat on it.

After he entered the carriage, it was obvious that the carriage was heading towards

Lao Ma also rolled around on the ground for a few steps before slowly dissipating the impact of the force.

Han Yi saw this and frowned slightly.

As he broke through the sixth level of the Heaven-Building Technique, the energy and blood all over his body became denser and thicker than before.

While becoming powerful, a side effect was that he gained weight again.

There is no way to deal with this. The surface area has not changed, but the density has increased, so the weight will naturally increase.

The old horse in this carriage is just an ordinary horse. It is just a little taller and stronger. As Han Yi gradually becomes stronger, he will naturally feel more and more tired.

"It seems that I should also learn the methods of those people in the Green Alliance and raise a monster that can bear my weight for my daily use in future battles..."

Han Yi thought of several encounters with the Green Alliance.

Any martial artist in the Green Alliance, if you take one at random, either raises dogs and plays with eagles, or raises dragons and snakes.

They seem to have some special methods to greatly increase the affinity between them and monsters, and drive monsters to fight for them.

Last time, Han Yi killed two martial artists from the Green Alliance and got some daily practice records from them.

In addition, after communicating with Zhong Yunxiu and Hu Ping, he learned that this method of communicating with monsters and controlling monsters is called "beast taming".

This method requires extremely high requirements from the practitioner. The most basic requirement is to have a natural affinity with monsters.

This is the most basic foundation. If you don't have this, you may be swallowed by the monster as soon as you get close to it.

In addition, there are few complete inheritance books for taming beasts, and the consumption of various resources, time and energy is also extremely terrifying.

Therefore, Zhong Yunxiu also gave him advice, asking him to concentrate on practicing and not to try to improve his strength through such crooked ways.

Yes, taming beasts is actually a kind of evil way.

Taming beasts, mechanisms, witchcraft, poisoning, etc. are actually a kind of evil way. All those who rely on external forces instead of relying on themselves to defeat the enemy are considered evil ways.

Even if the evil way is practiced to the end and the strength is extremely powerful, the strength of the person is far from matching.

And once the means you rely on are specifically restrained by others, you may not even be able to beat a three-year-old child.

"But who says that while practicing martial arts, you can't practice other methods? Master is worried that I will be too distracted and obsessed with the evil way to quickly improve my strength, and end up missing the peak period of martial arts practice and regret it in the end.

But I have a panel, so I can improve my strength and have an additional means to deal with the enemy. After all, one more way to deal with it means one more solution to the problem."

Han Yi seemed to be resting with his eyes closed in the carriage, but in fact he was thinking about the future path of martial arts practice.

"Master, we have arrived at Huayang City."

Suddenly, Lao Li knocked on the carriage lightly and reminded him gently.
