Chapter 155: Bone-Chilling Coldness
"Strange... too strange... cannot extract any human tissue, as if everyone in the Yin family disappeared out of thin air."
"Shouldn't be... even if burned by fire, it's impossible to burn the human body so cleanly..."
"But if someone took the bodies away, it doesn't make sense either. The surveillance of the nearby streets has been checked. Except for a man who took a taxi to come here four days ago, then the top alchemist Zhou Heping and top medicine refiner Yun Yingfa came, and then no one else entered or left."
"So many people, how could they disappear out of thin air?"
Xu Xiu squatted in the yard of Yin Xiang's house, unable to figure it out.
Then the taxi driver who had carried Ye Lin last time was also brought in front of Xu Xiu.
As soon as the driver saw Xu Xiu, his face turned pale on the spot, and he couldn't wait to explain.
"I'm wronged, I really haven't introduced anyone to find the centipede's natural enemy recently!"
Xu Xiu: "......"
"I didn't call you here to ask this. Four days ago, did you carry a person to Yin Xiang's house?"
The driver was stunned for a moment, then nodded.
"There is such a person. He said he came to Master Yin Xiang to repair a piece of equipment. What's wrong, what happened?"
"I'm asking you, not you asking me! What features did that person have?" Xu Xiu frowned and asked.
"Features?" The driver recalled. "He could talk! He talked to me all the way!"
Xu Xiu: "...... I'm asking you, his appearance features!"
"Oh oh oh, looks... not tall or short... not fat or thin... not black or white..."
"Are you deliberately looking for trouble?" Xu Xiu glared.
Being glared at by Xu Xiu, the driver was instantly panicked, scratching his head anxiously, trying his best to recall.
But no matter how he recalled, he couldn't recall any features of Ye Lin because at that time Ye Lin was just a mediocre face that couldn't be found even if thrown into a crowd.
"Alright, don't make it difficult for him." A hoarse voice came from the door.
Huang Litian, with a full face of stubble and messy hair like a chicken coop, walked in from the door carrying a wine bottle.
"Master!" Xu Xiu was pleasantly surprised.
Huang Litian walked forward and patted the driver on the shoulder.
"You go, this matter has nothing to do with you anymore!"
"Hey, okay, thank you! You are really a blue-sky official! Discerning everything!"
The driver hurriedly gave Huang Litian a thumbs up, then hurried away.
"Master, he is the only person who has seen the murderer. You let him go, what should we do next?" Xu Xiu asked anxiously.
"You've followed me for so long, why haven't you made any progress?" Huang Litian shook his head, then continued. "Didn't he say it? The murderer came to Yin Xiang to repair equipment. Do you think Yin Xiang was willing or forced?"
Xu Xiu's head buzzed, as if a tangled mess suddenly found a thread.
"Master... you mean... if Yin Xiang was forced, he would definitely leave us some clues?"
Huang Litian didn't say much, took a sip of wine, then walked straight to the forge, diving into the furnace mouth.
"Hmm? None?"
Huang Litian's drunken eyes were a bit puzzled, then he shouted loudly.
"Xu Xiu! Light the furnace fire!"
"Ah? Master, are you serious?" Xu Xiu was startled. At this moment, half of Huang Litian's body was in the forge. If he lit the fire, wouldn't he turn into a roast duck directly?
"Light it if I tell you to! So much nonsense!"
Xu Xiu gritted his teeth, then still lit the forge fire.
This forge was built by Yin Xiang at a great cost, and its furnace fire could reach up to four thousand degrees Celsius.
As soon as the furnace fire was lit, Huang Litian instantly burned! Fire was everywhere!
"Master!"
Xu Xiu was startled, hurriedly pulled Huang Litian out, and extinguished the furnace fire on his body. If it were a few seconds later, Huang Litian would probably have turned into a roast skewer.
"Cough cough cough cough!"
Huang Litian coughed violently. His hair and beard on his face were burned and stuck to his skin, looking very embarrassed, but Huang Litian revealed a smile and slowly spat out five words.
"Eight Desolations Holy Silver Bow!"
"Quick! Go and investigate all class-changers in Qingcheng who hold longbow equipment!"
"Okay, Master!" Xu Xiu nodded excitedly. This is the Huang Litian he is familiar with!
But not long after walking out, Xu Xiu's footsteps stopped suddenly.
"Bow?"
"Wait! Wait a minute!"
Xu Xiu suddenly remembered the sturdy young man who bumped into him when he went out that day.
That young man seemed to be carrying a bow and an arrow quiver?
Xu Xiu's head exploded. He felt like he had missed something!
"Master! I should...... know where the murderer is!"
Xu Xiu turned his head and rushed toward the Ji Group. Huang Litian hurriedly followed.
"You know where the murderer is?" Now it was Huang Litian's turn to be puzzled.
Xu Xiu nodded, then told Huang Litian everything about bumping into Ye Lin on the road that day.
Huang Litian was stunned for a moment, then asked skeptically.
"You mean, that person went to apply for a bodyguard position at the Ji Group, and the person he wants to protect... is Ye Lin?"
Seeing Xu Xiu nod, Huang Litian's two burned eyebrows wrinkled together.
"Ye Lin... it's Ye Lin again... since the Kensen case, why does it seem like every matter is related to this person? What kind of role does he play in these matters? What is his relationship with Ling Ye? And what is his relationship with this murderer?"
Huang Litian vaguely felt that he had grasped something, but also felt like he hadn't grasped anything.
But he was very sure of one thing now: all the things that had happened in Qingcheng recently were inseparable from this Ye Lin!
Huang Litian called for reinforcements, then led people angrily to the Ji Group. He had already seen Ye Lin's sharp tongue, so he wasn't prepared to talk nonsense this time, prepared to go directly to take people, and settle old and new accounts together!
The bodyguards of the Ji Group naturally didn't dare to stop the people from the Investigation Bureau.
Soon Huang Litian saw Ye Lin's main body pushing the clone in a wheelchair to sunbathe.
Seeing Huang Litian, Ye Lin was also a bit surprised. This guy is still insisting on investigating himself? It's really persistent.
"Shi Xing, right? You are suspected of killing the top blacksmith Yin Xiang. Now, please come back to the Investigation Bureau with me." Huang Litian said coldly. "Rest assured, this time I have enough evidence! This Eight Desolations Holy Silver Bow on you is the best evidence!"
Hearing this, Ye Lin's face was slightly ugly. It seems that when he was dealing with Yin Xiang, some traces were not handled cleanly, leaving a handle.
His hard-won new identity, could it only be abandoned?
Just when Ye Lin was hesitating whether to do it, a semi-transparent figure suddenly drilled out from the wall. Ye Lin recognized at a glance that this figure was the guy who had been monitoring himself in the dark!
"Who is it?!" Huang Litian shouted. The investigators following him also took out their weapons and waited in full battle array, ready to attack at any time.
However, after the figure appeared, he didn't have any intention of making a move, but said directly.
"You are from the Investigation Bureau, right? A large batch of monsters is about to attack Qingcheng. With Qingcheng's strength, it can't stop it. Take advantage of now, hurry up and transfer the civilians."
Hearing this, a bone-chilling coldness rushed from Huang Litian's tailbone to his heavenly spirit cover!
