Chapter 25 Missing Person Case

Li Wei didn't quite understand what Li Yun meant by the intersection center area.

Li Yun explained: "Father, look at the locations of these crimes. They seem complicated and messy. Each crime location seems to be far away from the Colosseum and the Tidal Platform. In fact, this is not the case. If you put all the crime locations in If you connect them spatially, you can see that they are actually centered on these two places and radiate out.”

Li Wei thought intently, picked up a pen, and drew each crime location on the silk, and finally connected them with lines. Sure enough, after some sketching, a dot-line drawing centered on the Colosseum and the tide listening platform was created. Just came out.

"So that's it. So, the murderer came from these two places." Li Wei's eyes lit up.

"That's right! There should be more than one murderer hiding here. In order to confuse the eyes and ears, he robs people in different places every day. In the end, of course, he returns to the vicinity of these two places."

"What are they doing robbing these young and strong men?"

"There must be a purpose. Analyzing from the industry, there are fifty-six in total, which shows that the industry is not within the scope of the murderer's consideration. And these people are young and strong, and have practiced Xuan Gong, but they are all in the third This is the biggest commonality between the first level of Xuanyi realm and the third level of Xuanling realm. It can be seen that the murderer must use this commonality of the target to achieve a certain purpose of his own."

"In this case, could it be the Chen family? The southern central area belongs to the Chen family's sphere of influence, and it seems that only the Chen family has the strength to do this." Li Wei asked a little suspiciously.

"Of course the Chen family cannot rule out suspicion, and the possibility is still very high. However, we cannot make a conclusion immediately." Li Yun said.

"Yes, there must be evidence. But the strange thing is that there has been no missing person case since yesterday, so it is a bit difficult to catch the murderer there now," Li Wei said.

"It seems that they have arrested enough people for the time being. However, I think it is unlikely to be the Chen family. They cannot be so crazy. Even if they want to cause chaos, they cannot commit crimes so intensively in a short period of time." Li Yun Thinking.

Li Wei nodded. Chen Gangba was indeed not such a person. He had behaved quite normally for so many years and it was impossible for him to become so crazy all of a sudden.

Suddenly, he remembered something and said anxiously: "By the way, if we talk about the Chen family, they have been making big moves recently! More than ten days ago, the second and fourth masters of the Chen family transported dozens of mysterious beasts from Xirong. , extremely ferocious. Could it be that... they want to eat humans?!"

Li Yun didn't know about this yet, so he couldn't help but be startled when Li Wei mentioned it.

Li Wei continued: "Is it because these mysterious beasts need to eat young and strong human flesh that the Chen family robs people to feed the mysterious beasts? Moreover, the disappearance case really happened after those mysterious beasts came in .”

"Father, you have a really rich imagination!"

"Do you really think it's what your father said?"

"no."

"Why?"

"It's been a hundred years since the Chen family's Colosseum was built. Almost all kinds of mysterious beasts have appeared there. I haven't heard of any mysterious beasts that are fed solely on human flesh. If that's the case, then There must have been similar cases in history. Moreover, the Chen family is in business, and business is all about making money by being friendly. If they make a little money but have to pay a lot of lives, they probably won't do it." Li Yun analyzed.

"It makes sense. The Chen family has been based in Chaocheng for hundreds of years. What they emphasize is that trees have big roots and deep roots, and harmony generates wealth. It is indeed impossible to dig one's own grave like this. So...who could it be?"

"Father, the case is under development, and we have insufficient evidence and materials to make a trial. Only by going to the scene to investigate can we understand the truth." Li Yun said.

"Yes, fortunately you pointed out a direction for us, otherwise we really wouldn't know where to start from." Li Wei sighed.

"I'll go take a look this time too! Things may not be that simple," Li Yun said thoughtfully.

"No! It's too dangerous!"

"It's okay. They are looking for people between the ages of fifteen and forty. I am not their target. Besides, I am a top-level student at Tingchao Academy, so I have my own way to save my life." Li Yun said confidently.

"That's... okay, but you must not leave my side."

"good."

…

Huang Yu, the lord of Chaocheng City, was so anxious that he was running around in the room like an ant on a hot pot.

He murmured: "It's over, it's over! There are so many cases, so many missing persons, my bastard... I'm afraid I won't have any good days."

Countless officers and soldiers were gathering outside the city lord's mansion to resist the flood of victims' families coming in from outside.

"Give me back my husband!"

"Give me back my wife!"

"Give me back my son!"

"Give me back my father!"

"Daughter, you are so miserable..."

Li Yun and Li Wei came to the city lord's mansion and saw the situation in front of the mansion, and they couldn't help but feel a sense of sadness in their hearts.

He quickly made a detour, entered through the back door of the City Lord's Mansion, and quickly arrived at Huang Yu's place.

"Mr. Li, Mr. Li is here!"

Huang Yu was stunned, turned around and rushed out, crying: "Mr. Li, what should we do? Ah, Mr. Li, my God, we are saved, come in quickly!"

Seeing Li Yun, Huang Yu was like a drowning man grabbing a life-saving straw. He immediately grabbed Li Yun's hands tightly and refused to let go. In his opinion, the one he could rely on at this moment was probably Li Yun.

"Master Li, have you heard everything?" Huang Yu asked eagerly.

"good."

"How about it? Can we find the missing person?"

"Well, we have found the tracing clues so far, but we still need the cooperation of the city lord's palace to investigate." Li Yun said.

"Okay! Great! Just tell me what you need, and just tell me how to arrange it. I will make sure everyone cooperates fully."

"City Lord, this case is a major case. In my opinion, the murderer has great ambitions. What is happening now is probably just the tip of the iceberg. Therefore, we must not mess up the situation." Li Yun said.

"This...do you think something more terrible is going to happen?" Huang Yu was stunned, his fat hands trembling a little, making Li Yun shake.

"Well, if my prediction is correct, I'm afraid this matter will involve the safety of the entire Tingchao City, and even the entire southern region of the empire." Li Yun said slowly.

"Is...so scary?!" Huang Yu and Li Wei were dumbfounded and asked at the same time.

"Yes, the murderer dares to commit crimes so confidently and intensively, treating people as if they are nothing. There must be huge forces behind him. What they do must be detrimental to Tingchao City. At the moment, the city defense must be tightened and the city guards must be ordered to monitor closely. Any anomalies found in the movement of people and materials must be reported promptly. At the same time, spies are dispersed throughout the city to search for suspicious persons. Personnel from the Criminal Department and Legal Department of the city government need to organize people to conduct more detailed investigations on the families of the missing persons. Conduct an on-site investigation to see if they have come into contact with any suspicious persons. Now, it has reached a critical moment in the investigation, and all personnel must be mobilized," Li Yun said.

"Just...just follow the Young Master's words, I will order you to go down immediately."

Huang Yu hurried out, and after a while, he brought a man in.

"Master Li, I have gone down as you told me. This is Qin Yi, the director of the Criminal Division of the City Lord's Palace. I asked the city's special guards led by him to help you solve the case." Huang Yu said.

"Okay, Director Qin, I wonder how many special guards you have?" Li Yun asked.

"Master Li, just call me Qin Yi. We have one hundred and eight special guards, all of whom are carefully selected, well-equipped with mystical weapons, and skilled in mystical arts."

Li Wei said from the side: "Yun'er, Director Qin is a master at the early stage of the eighth level of the Mysterious Palace. His cultivation level is comparable to that of Chen Gangba, the head of the Chen family. He is one of the few masters in Chaocheng, I heard. Those special gangs under him The guards have cultivation levels ranging from the third level of Xuan Ling Realm to the seventh level of Xuan Latent Realm. Their combat power is astonishing. They are the elite team of Tingchao City."

When Qin Yi heard what Li Wei said, he showed a proud smile on his face and said: "Mr. Li, thank you very much for eating the emperor's salary and being loyal to the emperor. We special guards train hard every day just to be able to serve the emperor in times of crisis." Playing for our country, now that we have this opportunity, it’s time for us to play.”

"Director Qin is busy! This situation is urgent. Please cooperate with Mr. Li to investigate the case and catch the murderer behind the scenes!" Huang Yu said.

"Don't worry, City Lord, Qin Yi will do his best!"

"Wait a minute!" Li Yun suddenly said.

The three of them were startled and looked at Li Yun in confusion.

"Lord City Lord, I am afraid that Director Qin's special guard team alone cannot cope with the current situation. I think you must report to Dafeng County immediately and mobilize the army urgently. At the same time, send urgent military information to the Imperial Capital. Report." Li Yun said.

"This... Yun'er, are you sure?!" Li Wei asked in shock.

"Make sure, just to be sure!" Li Yun nodded.

"Okay! Everything is as Mr. Li said!" Huang Yu's face changed drastically, and his clothes were soaked with sweat.

"Master Li, what should we do with the families of the missing persons outside?" Qin Yi asked.

"Build a shed for them and provide them with good wine and food, and they will naturally stop making trouble. Moreover, don't drive them away, so that the people behind the scenes can be paralyzed, and the people's hearts can be stabilized."

"yes!"

…

Li Yun, Li Wei, and Qin Yi soon arrived near the Colosseum in the south.

The Colosseum is located in the most prosperous area in the south of Tingchao City, not far from Tingchao Platform, and the two places echo each other.

Both of these places are big properties of the Chen family, which contribute to the Chen family's daily income.

When the three of them arrived, it was already noon, and they saw people coming and going on the road, bustling with people, the Chaojiang River not far away passing by, with sails and shadows dotted on the river, and several painted boats floating on the river, with lanterns and colorful decorations, and the sound of warblers and swallows. The language is really eye-catching.

There are many shops on both sides of the road, with food, drink, entertainment, and all kinds of weird things. It is definitely a good place to visit.

According to Li Yun's wishes, the city's special guards had disguised themselves as ordinary people and dispersed to the surrounding area.

"Master Li, there is the Colosseum in front of us. Should we go in, or..." Qin Yi asked.

"Since we are here to investigate, of course we have to go in, but don't disturb the Chen family, so as not to disturb the enemy." Li Yun said thoughtfully.

"good!"

The three of them followed the flow of people and soon arrived at the Colosseum.

When Li Yun saw it, he secretly exclaimed: "It's big enough! It's impressive enough!"

I saw that this is a multi-story building with a circular structure. The outer walls are all made of jade, which is full of light. The cornices on the wall are light and the carvings of animals and birds are lifelike and dazzling.

It occupies a very large area with multiple entrances and exits, and everyone is guarded.

The three people entered from the north gate and saw many mysterious beasts along the way. They were both for display and for sale. They were all businesses controlled by the Chen family.

After paying the entrance fee, the three of them entered, only to find that the space suddenly opened up. The top was open-air, surrounded by multi-layered seats, which could accommodate tens of thousands of people. Ten giant fighting beasts stood in the middle of the venue. tower.

Among them, the tallest one is the main beast-fighting platform, which is thirty feet high. The other nine are fifteen feet high. Surrounding the main beast-fighting platform, they are like stars over the moon, which is amazing.

At this time, the Colosseum was already bustling with people and extremely lively.
