C1014 The Crime Scene
But this time, the murder happened right next to him, and he couldn't help but break out in cold sweat. He was also living alone in an inn, the same situation as the deceased. It was impossible for him not to be afraid.
Plus, it was already impossible to leave, so he could only hurry back to his room. On the one hand, he had to make preparations to prevent himself from becoming the next target whose brain was taken away. On the other hand, he didn't want the man in black to see him when he returned.
Looking at Ye Bufan's back as he left, one of the officers asked the bearded officer, "Boss, this kid is a little suspicious."
The bearded policeman nodded. "He is a little suspicious, but he shouldn't be the murderer."
Another man agreed. "That's right. His cultivation base is too low. When we talked about the murder, his surprised and scared expression wasn't fake."
"Remember, we came here to catch that evil cultivator, don't bother about anything else, especially the conflicts between cultivators!" The bearded policeman sternly said to the other two.
"Yes! Boss!" The other two constables cupped their hands and agreed.
Ye Bufan returned to his room and secretly took a look at the room of the man in black. He found that the man in black had not returned yet.
He muttered to himself, "He must have gone to the crime scene to watch the show."
To be honest, Ye Bufan also wanted to go and watch the show, but he stood up, sat down, and sat down again. He did not dare to leave the room after a few times.
In the end, he was still afraid of being discovered by the men in black.
The man in black was too powerful. Back in the ruins, Ye Bufan could not defeat the man in black even with the Blood Spider Glove. Now that he had encountered the man in black, he had no other choice but to escape.
The worst thing was that the constables had sealed up the entire inn. Even if he escaped, he wouldn't be able to escape from the inn. The constables wouldn't care about the conflicts and grudges outside of the murder case, but their actions of sealing up the inn had actually helped the man in black.
He couldn't defeat the enemy, but he couldn't escape either. Apart from staying in his room, Ye Bufan didn't dare to go anywhere else.
Such a life was too depressing.
Once he got angry, Ye Bufan simply didn't care about any murders or not. He sat cross-legged on the bed and began cultivating.
He wanted to cultivate his meridians to be wider and tougher, so that he could contain more true qi. When he used the Blood Spider Glove again, he would be able to absorb all the true qi of the man in black! Even if he couldn't absorb his blood qi, he would just suck him to death. He could also make him unable to defeat him without true qi.
This cultivation lasted for an entire day. With the help of the world's origin, the effect of Ye Bufan's cultivation was still very obvious. His meridians were even tougher than before. It had also become a little thicker, although according to his experience when he fought the man in black last time. It was still not enough to defeat the man in black, but he believed that as long as he continued to cultivate like this... Soon, he would have a strong meridian that was strong enough to bear all the true qi of the man in black.
At night, Ye Bufan asked about the scene of the waiter who came to deliver food during the day. The waiter vividly told him about it, which made him break out in cold sweat.
Watching the waiter leave, Ye Bufan almost couldn't sleep. According to the waiter's detailed description, he suddenly found that the three dead cultivators had many common characteristics.
They were not local cultivators. They had no relatives or friends in Wonan City. They liked to stay in inns all day long and rarely interacted with other guests.
That's right, Ye Bufan could see that these characteristics were all on him!
"If the murderer really chose the targets with these characteristics, doesn't that mean I'm in danger as well?" Ye Bufan could not stay calm anymore. He started to make preparations in the room.
Because he suddenly remembered the blue cloak he saw last night. Maybe that thing was related to the murder.
After all, he had just seen that strange cloak last night, and a murder immediately happened. He could not help but link the two together.
Ye Bufan sat by the table. He wore a Blood Spider Glove on his left hand and a glass bowl on his right. All of them were in a state where they could be activated at any time.
In order to ensure that nothing went wrong, he even summoned the Blue Luan Bird. Although the Blue Luan Bird was restricted by the metal ring on his feet and could not display its true strength, no matter how many times he summoned it, it would still be useful.
This night, many cultivators who had done the same thing as Ye Bufan, especially those who had seen the dead with their own eyes, were on high alert.
The entire Yunlai Inn seemed to be the same from the outside. In fact, there might be no rest in the room where the lights were extinguished.
Zhang Lan Yun was one of them. She was still making the best use of her time to remove the spiritual mark on the ring of the Fallen Phoenix Valley's cultivators. It was precisely because she knew about the murders during the day that she became more and more nervous. She even took the risk of being discovered and began to forcefully clean the spiritual imprint.
Moreover, she believed that in such a tense night, even if her actions were discovered, no one would dare to make a move.
Reality proved that her decision was correct. Following a sorrowful cry, the spiritual imprint left behind by the Fallen Phoenix Valley's cultivators was removed by her.
Filled with anticipation and joy, Zhang Lanyun probed her perception into the ring. Immediately, she took a deep breath. The space inside the ring was filled with rare minerals. There was also a large number of finished pill and weapons. There were even two magic treasures!
Swoosh!
Zhang Lanyun waved her hand, and a red caltrop appeared in her hand. The red dress had no wind. The red caltrop automatically wrapped around her arm and merged with her arm in a flash. Only a red mark that looked like a Dao Rune was left on her forearm. It could be vaguely seen.
Zhang Lan Yun was delighted. She knew that she had obtained the recognition of this magic treasure.
This was a magic treasure that attacked and received as one, and it was called 'Red Xiao Ten Zhang Qing'. It was extremely precious.
She thought to herself in her heart. After obtaining this Magic Treasure, her strength could at least increase by 20%. Even if she encountered another 100 over cultivators chasing after her, she wouldn't be in a sorry state like before.
When she thought up to here, she took out another Magic Treasure and sized it up with slight pity.
This was a bamboo whistle that was about the thickness of her thumb. The length was also similar, and it had already been taken away by her. The reason why she felt that it was a pity was that this bamboo whistle could not be used alone. It had to be used together with the Red Luan Bird and mutant beast.
Blowing the bamboo whistle could continuously improve the control of the Red Luan Bird and mutant beast. Moreover, it could also increase the combat strength of the Red Luan Bird. It was definitely a very useful supplementary magic treasure.
"What a pity. Why don't I have a single Red Luan Bird with me? Sigh..." Zhang Lan Yun looked at the bamboo whistle with regret and placed it back in the storage space.
Apart from the cultivators who were afraid and couldn't sleep, there was also a group of people who didn't rest.
In a flower bed in the front yard of the inn, a green bamboo suddenly moved and a figure appeared. On the other side of the flower bed, a sunflower swayed, and a figure also appeared.
These two figures walked closer to each other, revealing their constables' attire.
"Wang San, have you found anything?"
"Wang Si, everything is normal. What about you?"
"It's still the same."
"Yes, continue to lurk. Maybe the murderer is waiting for us to relax. "
"That's right. Since Sir suspects that the murderer is in the inn, there is a high chance that this is the case. Let's continue to lurk."
As soon as he finished speaking, the two constables, one on the left and the other on the right. In a flash, they appeared in the flower bed. One of them turned into green bamboo while the other turned into a sunflower. If Ye Bufan was here, he would definitely be so scared that his eyeballs would fall out. He never thought that there would be a cultivator who could transform into a plant. He had never even heard of it.
In fact, not to mention Ye Bufan, not many of the cultivators in the inn had heard of this ability. This was an inheritance unique to the Six Fans Gate's constables. It was very suitable for hiding and monitoring, and it was extremely covert.
Just like these two constables, although the entire inn looked like it had always been, it was actually under the surveillance of the Six Fans Gate's constables.
A total of thirteen constables were scattered in every corner of the inn, quietly waiting for the murderer to appear again.
As for the reaction of the cultivators in the inn, they naturally saw it with their own eyes.
However, they were not bothered by the vigilance of the cultivators. Based on their observation of the crime scene, they knew that the murderer was definitely not an ordinary person. Very powerful, his ability to conceal himself is very strong, his speed is very fast... It was very difficult to find him.
The murder happened in an instant, and the victim was killed in one move by the murderer. After taking away his brain, the initial estimation of the murderer was definitely above Sixth Grade of Martial Origin. As for how far above that was, even the constables weren't sure.
In fact, their plan tonight wasn't to catch the murderer. Even if the thirteen constables were all Sixth Grade of Martial Origin, they still didn't think that they could catch the murderer.
The leader of the constables had already sent a message to the capital via the Flying Eagle to ask for help from the experts. They were lying in ambush here mainly to observe the process of the murder at a close distance. In fact, the constables had already received strict orders, even if the murder happened right under their noses. They absolutely wouldn't allow anyone to help the cultivators who were attacked.
Ye Bufan sat by the window and let the Blue Luan Bird lie on his lap. He gently stroked the Blue Luan Bird's feathers with his hand and occasionally scratched the Blue Luan Bird's neck with his fingernails. It was as if the person lying on his lap was not a divine bird, but a cat.
The strangest thing was that the Blue Luan Bird actually enjoyed this kind of touching and scratching. It also narrowed its eyes like a cat and comfortably fell asleep.1
Suddenly, there was the sound of someone hitting the ground in Wonan City. The Zi hour had arrived.
A cloud floated in the sky, blocking the semicircle moon. It made the moonlight fade away, and the night became even darker.
Swoosh!
The Blue Luan Bird that was lazily lying on Ye Bufan's leg suddenly stood up. A green light flashed on the fur on its body, and it seemed like it was going to pounce on him.
Ye Bufan hurriedly held down the Blue Luan Bird, and softly peed twice, indicating that it should not act rashly. After comforting the Blue Luan Bird, he opened a window and saw the scene he had seen last night.
In the dark night sky, a dark blue cloak was suspended in the air!
Ye Bufan's eyes stared at the night sky. In the air, a dark blue translucent cloak was suspended there. A gust of wind blew past, and it drifted slowly. Waves of fluctuation burst out from above.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
The continuous sounds alarmed everyone. The windows in the inn suddenly exploded because of the fluctuation of the strange cloak.
