The Retirement of the Demon Lord: Chapter 524 Leaving the corpse to provoke, madness or death

"The body was found on the second day of the Lantern Festival. The coroner judged that the time of death was the night before. The Guards who died with him were also stationed here." Li Mengyao was the first time to see the body today. Focus on the corpse to see if you can find any clues. "The corpse of the ordinary janitor has been removed and stored, and it has no research value for an enemy like Wuhe who can kill it."

Those who can kill Wuhe definitely won't need real effort to kill the Guards, and the information is limited, so just leave it to the coroner for examination, they can save time.

"A lot of people died in the early stage, and we are only here to investigate?!" Mei Qianxiao said in surprise, "Our work efficiency is really high!"

No wonder the corpse stinks badly. It is estimated that some preservatives have been sprinkled on it, otherwise it should have rotted.

"Is there any way!" Li Mengyao glared at him and asked him to whisper, "After the Lantern Festival, the emperor was bedridden and did not discuss political affairs. The affairs of the imperial court were handled by Yang Cheng and several other ministers, so that the affairs of the imperial court could continue. It will continue to work. But there are some things that Prime Minister Yang can make decisions, and some things that can't... The murder case of the shadow capital is directly under the emperor's management, and there are also matters involving the destruction of the forbidden area of ​​the emperor's mausoleum. Seal this place and wait for the emperor's order. The emperor made a decision after recovering from a serious illness two days ago."

So that's it...Wait, the forbidden area of ​​the imperial mausoleum was destroyed?

He knew that the royal family had set up the imperial mausoleum in this blessed land north of the palace, which was surrounded by mountains and waters, but who would come to destroy the imperial mausoleum when they had nothing to do... and even chose the Lantern Festival...

Eh? ! During the Lantern Festival, the prince's rebellion caused the whole palace to jump, and everyone's attention was drawn to the timing of the inner palace. It was really a good time to visit the imperial mausoleum! The imperial mausoleum must have been weakly defended that night, and even if the Guards were all dispatched and Ren Wuhe shouted, no one would find out that there was a problem here!

"Wuhe was not poisoned, and Zhenhaiyin was not hit. After a short fight, he was killed by one blow..." Li Mengyao focused his attention on the corpse, and pointed at the sharp blade that penetrated Wuhe's chest, "This sword is Wu He's own sword, the murderer is very cunning, using Wu He's sword to kill Wu He, we have no way to get information from the weapon."

Experts have their own special skills, either fists or weapons. Those who are capable of killing Wuhe must be first-class masters in all corners of the world. If you can judge what kind of weapons or fists the opponent is using, the range can be reduced a lot at once.

"But there are not many people who can kill Wuhe with Wuhe's sword..." Li Mengyao continued.

"No, the murderer didn't walk around the rivers and lakes again! I can be sure that the murderer is him... It's Nighthawk! Wu He died in the hands of Zhemei in Tianshan. This is a provocation by Nighthawk to me..." Mei Qianxiao suddenly bit. He gritted his teeth in a low voice.

That night, Nighthawk lured him to chase, betting that he would not dare to give up the emperor. However, after he left, he did not go away immediately, but came here with a swagger and killed Wu He and others... He was leisurely, not in a hurry, and even used Tianshan Zhemei's hand to kill Wu He and stayed behind hint. Because he knew that once he didn't chase after him, he would have more time to slowly accomplish his goal...

"Tianshan folding plum hands?"

Li Mengyao re-examined Wu He's wound. Although Wu He's hand was not holding the sword, he still maintained the posture of holding the sword.

It is indeed possible that it was caused by the drastic means of Tianshan's folded and reversed hands. Don't look at Tianshan Zhemei's bad hands, but if you really practice it, it is a superior move that integrates offense and defense. The martial arts of the Xiaoyao School are notoriously ingenious.

"But why is it a provocation for Ye Ying to kill Wu He with Tian Shan Zhemei's hand?" Li Mengyao frowned immediately and asked in confusion.

Mei Qianxiao suddenly came back to his senses, he was so angry that he leaked his words just now! Li Mengyao didn't know that there were so many spiritual confrontations between Yue and Nighthawk!

"That's because...they are very abominable. The last time the martial arts conference held a brother's junior sister who was killed by them, it was by the hands of Tianshan Zhemei, so I recognized it at a glance. This time they have other things. If you don't need it, you still use the skill of folding plum hands to hide your identity, isn't it a provocation to the court!" Mei Qianxiao patted her chest and pretended to be angry.

"Well, you're right, this is a provocation to the court... But who are you? Can you represent the court!" Li Mengyao said angrily.

"Aiya, I don't care about the unity of the imperial court and think about the danger in peace! If you attack the patriotism of your subordinates like this, it's all your fault for me to become lazy in the future!"

"Go away, you are so lazy, don't put money on your face!"

Seeing that Li Mengyao rolled her eyes and stopped asking, Mei Qian smiled and let out a sigh of relief. This matter was over.

"According to your guess, that Nighthawk came here to kill Wu He and destroy the imperial mausoleum while taking advantage of the chaos in the palace? However, taking advantage of the chaos in the palace that night was indeed a very suitable opportunity to attack the imperial mausoleum, and the guards were transferred away. Now, even if there is a big movement here, no one will notice. Moreover, it can be confirmed that the night in the palace was in chaos, only the Nighthawks." Li Mengyao went on to analyze, "If the Tianshan Zhemei hand is used to kill people to hide their identity, it is theirs. The usual way, it doesn't have to be Nighthawk, it could be someone else from them."

The corpse continued to look, and there were no more clues. But being able to narrow down the suspects to Nighthawks or their party is already a big gain. Li Mengyao was satisfied, and it was right to smile with her brows, and she quickly came to a reasonable inference.

"People should have been killed by him." Mei Qianxiao remembered that Ye Ying left in the north direction that night. With Ye Ying's extremely confident attitude in front of him and her deliberately leaving a provocative message now, Mei Qianxiao can basically be sure. , "But it's not important to kill him anymore. What purpose did he come to kill and then destroy the imperial mausoleum?"

"Well, this is the question we will continue to investigate." Li Mengyao stood up, clapped her hands and whispered, "The gate of the imperial mausoleum was pried open, he must have entered the imperial mausoleum. The important place of the imperial mausoleum is the royal family. The place where the ancestors were buried, the destruction here must not reveal the slightest rumor. Therefore, the emperor only handed over this case to the people around him to investigate, and even if he found something, he would not disclose it. I can bring you in with the guarantee of the head. If I have a problem, I will also take the blame, you must watch your own mouth, understand!"

If the world knew that the royal tomb where his ancestors were buried had been demolished, the emperor's prestige would definitely drop to the bottom.

Mei Qianxiao suddenly realized: "Damn it, then not only will I lose my head easily in this case, but also because I can't make it public, so I don't have any credit, right?! The kind that doesn't have overtime allowances?!"

"You're right. My trust in you is the greatest reward. I'll write off the 7,000 taels of stolen money you owed last time..."

"Hey! Do you still remember the seven thousand taels! Not to mention that I didn't receive the balance of the stolen money, didn't you also promise to write it off when we come back from that broken cave together alive?" Two silver coins, this debt is really unjust.

"I didn't agree, I just said to think about it..." Li Mengyao spread her hands, her innocent face was innocent, if she hadn't known her irritable face, her brows would have been hard, ahh, almost I believe it!

"Ah, you have no conscience..." Mei Qianxiao immediately softened her hands, and Dong Shi covered her head and raised her fingers with a frown, and she opened her hands shamelessly, "It's a shame that I went through fire and water for you that day, but you... "

"Seven thousand taels for one mission seems too much. You are worth the price. I regret it a bit. After this mission is over, you will pay fifty taels. Remember, you still owe me six thousand nine hundred..."

"Hey, how can your dignified commander say what you said? Don't get me wrong, I'm not scolding you, but to tell the respected boss, your backstepping will have an indelible impact on your commander's glorious image~ www.mtlnovel.com~ How could I care about the mere 7,000 taels? What I care about is your brilliant image, boss. Come on, let's do as you said at the beginning. Where is the entrance to the imperial mausoleum, I'll open the way... Carefully Slippery, direct sunlight hurts your skin, I have to take you to a shady place quickly..." Mei Qianxiao didn't give Li Mengyao a chance to say no, and hurriedly opened the way ahead with a sincere expression on her face.

Li Mengyao looked at Mei Qianxiao's mutated dog-legged appearance, she really couldn't do anything about him being cheeky, who are these people... But she just couldn't get angry, she found it interesting for some reason. She has never seen such a messy guy before, maybe this is called curiosity.

"Wait a minute, slow down and stand behind me." Li Mengyao led the way, "Why don't you say that Mo Diao is here? Now I'll tell you why he's here..."

"The people who have been ordered to enter the imperial tomb in the past two days have said that they have seen a ghost. If they are crazy, they will die. Until now, we still don't know what Ye Ying did when he entered the imperial tomb. We don't believe in ghosts. , maybe the Nighthawks set up some kind of dark poison trap to make people lose their minds. Mo Diao helped us investigate the imperial tomb. Two, any poison should be slowed down first."

Li Mengyao stuffed Mei Qianxiao with two high-grade detoxification pills, the high-end products in the Tai Hospital.

Mei Qianxiao took the medicine and sighed deeply, this is really troublesome!

But Mei Qianxiao took the pill and followed closely behind Li Mengyao.

Ever since he knew that Nighthawk came here on the night when the rebellion was so important, he had already decided to find out what Nighthawk was doing here.
