The Ancient Realm Goddess
A Case
The Center of the Central Plains was the center of human strength and life. There were many powers like sects and also organizations that could not be counted. They do a lot of competition and also a variety of businesses. From small to big.
Even so, it turned out that there were those who dared to make trouble at such a power center. This is more disturbing to the people who live there. Logic says that someone who dares to make a mess there must be an indeterminate force.
Qing Yue'er also thought that way. Whoever wreaks havoc in the center of the Central Plains means having high courage and certainly undetectable strength. Little people would not dare to make such a mess.
“Uncle, so what do you think about this issue?” qing Yue'er asked softly. He did not want others to hear about their conversation.
“I can't be sure. The victims came from different powers. Even ordinary humans cannot be spared.” Xie Wuqing gazed into the distance. It seems like he is thinking about a lot of things.
Qing Yue'er became even more curious. “I mean uncle no one is privileged or excluded? That means the person is not doing favorit.”
Xie Wuqing smacked Qing Yue'er's shoulder. “For a crime, though fair and unkind it is still not a good thing.”
“I know, I know it. Wouldn't it be harder to narrow down the scope of suspects?” Qing Yue'er was unhappy. Did the perpetrator kill deliberately without seeing caste? That means they're smart enough to make things difficult for investigators.
“Like that's approx.” Xie Wuqing nodded, confirming Qing Yue'er's question.
“Hmm.” Qing Yue'er pondered. A lot of things are still in question. Perhaps they would gain enlightenment after arriving at that place.
It didn't take long for them to get to their destination. In just half a day they had already arrived at the most crucial location. They all landed on a crowded street. However, it seems that it is no longer as crowded as usual. Some people also pass by holding clothes to be taken away.
The people who decided to leave this region were mostly ordinary residents or humans who only had weak strength. They certainly do not want to throw themselves to be a victim.
Niu Ren led everyone to enter a house by the side of the road. The house is quite large and luxurious. There were several guards on duty at the gate. When the guard saw the approaching group of Niu Ren, they instantly became ready to standby.
Seeing such a response, Qing Yue'er was able to understand him. Ready will certainly feel alert if there are strangers approaching in this kind of critical situation.
Niu Ren smiled. He showed the identity tokens to the guards. “We came from the Celestial academy at the invitation of master Shen, please check.”
The guard directly checked the Niu Ren token. After believing there was nothing wrong, the guard immediately changed his attitude. “I forgive us for being disrespectful. The situation here is already getting more difficult.”
“It's okay. We understand it.”
“Then come with me, I will escort you to meet master Shen.”
Everyone nodded and followed where the guard was leading. Qing Yue'er did not say anything. He still wanted to understand the situation further. There should be enough things to give a clue.
After passing through a long corridor, they finally arrived at a fairly spacious hall. There was already a middle-aged man there who seemed to have been waiting. Next to him was a woman who was his wife.
They immediately rejoiced when they saw the entourage coming from the Heavenly Academy. The Heavenly Academy is indeed widely known to ordinary people as an academy that extends a lot of hands if there are other forces that have difficulty.
“Young Master Niu, ah, finally you all have arrived,” Shen Hua said with pleasure.
“Master Shen, as per request, we came right in today.” Niu Ren smiled. He who already knew a little about Shen Hua. He immediately introduced the man to his group.
Everyone nodded and gave a formal greeting. Shen Hua flicked his hand so that there was no need for a formal attitude. “I'm glad to see you guys, oh, this is my wife, Shen Ya.”
“Happy to meet you. Hopefully this problem can be resolved quickly. People have started to feel restless,” Shen Ya said.
Xiao Ling nodded. “Mistress Shen is not peru anxious, we will try to find out as well.”
“Please sit. Let's talk about it so you know what to do next.” Shen Hua invited everyone to sit down.
Qing Yue'er sat next to Xiao Ling and the other women. He would only listen to what everyone was talking about. He looked at Yan Xiao the grandson of Daoist Black Three who started to open his voice. “So how did it all start?”
“Nobody knows how it started. You should know that here death is something that happens almost every day. So, at the time of when and how it all began, we were all unable to calculate with certainty." Shen Hua explained.
Qing Yue'er nodded in agreement. Then he heard Shen Hua continue his conversation. “Nobody would have thought that the fewer deaths were increasing. Since the increase in the number of deaths, we began to realize it.”
“Master Shen, do the bodies look intact?” Niu Ren asked.
Shen Hua nodded. “Utuh, they did not lose a single limb. It's just ...”
“What's it all?” Yan Xiao asked.
“Only their blood was sucked dry. I don't know what it means,” Shen Hua said, shaking her head.
“There are no suspicious signs? Is there no trace of anything?” Niu Ren asked in surprise.
Shen Hua shook his head. He's been trying to investigate every new corpse. But he felt no trace or signs. This is what makes everyone feel confused.
Despite that, Qing Yue'er did not trust him too much. There is always a gap in something, nothing is perfect in this world. As smart as anything and as thorough as anything, there is bound to be a disability even if it is just a little. Maybe these people are the only ones not looking for it carefully.
“Then when usually the bodies start falling?” asked Xiao Ling who had been silent since.
“There is no set time, but indeed most must be the night of the heart. Maybe a dark day has helped them to do the prank.”
“If it's like this, it looks like we need to check the bodies directly,” Niu Ren said.
Shen Hua nodded in agreement. “It is an obligation. Who knows, you may find what we cannot find. Then come with me now. We have our own hall deliberately set up to house the bodies. I'll take you there.”
Everyone started to stand up and prepare to follow Shen Hua. Qing Yue'er got up and walked hand in hand with Xiao Ling. They exited the Shen residence to head to the hall in question.
“Xinyu, do you have any ideas?” asked Xiao Ling.
Qing Yue'er shook her head. “For now still uncertain. I think in a moment there will definitely be something clarified,” he said slowly. This is a pretty interesting case for him.
