Chapter 40 A murder occurs

Old Liang sensed it before he even approached.

Before Xu Feng could ask, he turned around and said:

"I was wondering what you were doing staying at home these days. It turns out you have made a breakthrough. Congratulations. You will be a mid-stage Qi Refining cultivator in the future."

Xu Feng was not surprised to see that his true identity was seen through. He had not practiced any technique to conceal his cultivation, so it was normal for him to be seen through.

Hearing that the old man spoke first, he smiled and said:

"It was just a lucky breakthrough, not worth mentioning. But there are so many people here, did something happen?"

Looking at the neighbors who surrounded Wang Kou's house, he was very curious, because he knew the morals of the Wang family father and son too well. Usually no one was willing to interact with them. Unless something big happened, there would be no blocking of the door.

Hearing his question, Liang Wan'er, who was getting prettier, looked back and whispered:

"Xu Daoyou, don't you know yet? Just last night, two murders happened in our alley."

"Two murders? Who were they?"

At this moment, he had a guess. Could it be that Wang Kou and his son were killed? That would be great.

Because as time went by, he could always feel that Wang Kou was always staring at him with ill intentions, like a poisonous snake lurking in the dark.

"The dead are Wang Kou's father Wang Hui and widow Yang who lives diagonally opposite his house."

The one who answered the question was Liang Lao. Hearing this explosive news, Xu Feng instantly became interested and immediately wanted to squeeze through the crowd to go and see.

At this moment, a majestic voice suddenly came from Wang Kou's house.

"What are you blocking here for? Get out of the way and let us carry the dead away."

Hearing this, the crowd of onlookers suddenly dispersed. Seeing this situation, Xu Feng did not rush to move forward again.

Soon, four patrolmen came out, carrying a stretcher in pairs. There was a person lying on each stretcher, and they were covered tightly with black cloth. No one knew why.

However, the monk next to him also had the same question and asked it casually.

"Why cover the person so tightly? Is it because the body was broken into pieces of blood and flesh, so we can't see it?"

A monk standing next to him continued:

"It's not what you think. I heard that the deceased was naked. It's probably against morality to carry it out like that."

"I see, who did it? This murderer is really good at choosing the right time and doing it at that time. It's really wicked!"

"Who said it wasn't!"

Hearing this, Xu Feng suddenly thought of a question. The father was dead, why did the son disappear?

"Hey, who knows where Wang Kou went? His father is dead, why doesn't he show up as a son?"

Hearing his question, someone in the crowd answered:

"Don't mention it. Recently, Wang Kou has developed a bad habit of alcoholism. He often goes to various restaurants in the inner district market with several male cultivators from the alley next door. He stays out all night every day. He is probably still sobering up there now!"

After the cultivator carrying the corpse passed by, a young cultivator with the aura of the late stage of Qi Refining came out of Wang Kou's house.

At the same time, he took out a black gold token and swiped it towards Wang Kou's house. Suddenly, a translucent protective shield visible to the naked eye covered the entire house.

"Listen to me, fellow Taoists. My name is Liu Wu, and I am the team leader of our patrol team. This morning, I received a report from fellow Taoist Wu who lives in this alley, saying that a murder occurred here, so I led my men to the scene immediately.

After my investigation, the deceased should have been in a deep sleep and was attacked in the brain with a tiny hidden weapon, causing death, but this does not seem to be the first scene of the crime. We have to wait until we have a detailed investigation before we can draw a conclusion.

Since all the neighbors are here now, I would like to make a statement here that if a murder occurs in the market, the residents living here have the responsibility to cooperate with our patrol team's investigation.

So I hope that in the next few days, unless it is necessary, you will stay at home and wait for us to investigate. If there are those who do not cooperate, I will definitely report to the management office and then drive those who do not cooperate out of the market."

After speaking, Liu Wu winked at the two team members behind him, and the two of them went to the two ends of the alley, one on the left and one on the right, and seemed to be preparing to set up a checkpoint.

Seeing this, Xu Feng knew that he could not watch the excitement anymore, otherwise he might not be able to go to the market, so he quickened his pace, followed Liu Wu's hand, and left the alley.

He was not afraid of Liu Wu's blame after returning, because many good people in the alley did the same thing, not to escape, but to buy some spiritual rice and spiritual meat to take home, who knows how long the alley will be blocked this time!

However, Xu Feng did not take this matter particularly seriously, because he did not kill the person.

So after leaving the alley, he came to the inner market slowly.

He found that no matter when, the prosperity here has never changed.

He found a shop called Wanxiang Pavilion recommended by the shopkeeper of Ju Fu Pavilion, and he walked in.

Immediately, a young man with only the first level of Qi Refining came up to him and asked him enthusiastically what he needed.

"I wonder what this fellow Taoist needs. We have a wide range of spiritual objects in Wanxiang Pavilion."

According to the shopkeeper of Jufu Pavilion, although this shop is not very famous, it is as its name suggests. It has basically all kinds of spiritual objects, and the prices are not very expensive.

"Do you have a talisman pen? Take a first-level medium-quality one for me to see."

He looked around the shelves behind the counter and found traces of talisman paper and spiritual ink, but did not see any talisman pens, so he asked this question.

When the clerk heard him asking about the talisman pen, his eyes lit up immediately. He took him to sit down first and then poured him a cup of tea.

After saying wait a moment, he immediately ran behind the counter and began to search through the boxes and cabinets.

After a few breaths, several wooden boxes with exquisite decorations appeared in front of him.

"These boxes are filled with first-grade middle-grade talisman pens. Please take a look, fellow Daoist."

Finally, he chose a talisman pen with a pen head made of the armpit hair of a yellow-tailed wolf and a pen holder made of a first-grade middle-grade spiritual plant, green bamboo, which cost him a full eighty spiritual stones.

Then, he purchased talisman paper, spiritual ink, spiritual rice, and spiritual beast meat one by one.

After putting all these things into the spiritual objects, he left the Wanxiang Pavilion with the warm farewell of the waiter.

"Just this trip out, it actually cost me more than 150 spiritual stones. It's really hard to earn spiritual stones, but it's easy to spend them!"

Feeling the severely shrunken storage bag, Xu Feng sighed as he walked.
