Shi Bingyan turned his head when he heard the sound and saw several officers wearing general uniforms walking in from outside. There were two middle-aged men in plain clothes but walking with a strong momentum.

Seeing the visitor, Shi Bingyan's original coldness melted, and instead he had a somewhat flattering smile.

"General Han, Lord He, why are you here too?"

He was also a little surprised in his heart. Although this case involved the extraordinary realm, it would not have alarmed a great man like General Han to come forward in person. Han Shixiang was the commander of Qingtang, responsible for the defense at the junction of the southwest of the Western Qin Prefecture and the wilderness. Moreover, his command center was in Qingtang City, and he rarely involved in local affairs.

"The Han Zhenguan Envoy happened to be inspecting Wushan Pass City. I heard that the case involved a demon cultivator, so I came here to take a look." He Mingfeng, the lord of Xiahezhou City, explained to Shi Bingyan.

"Director Xu, please confirm again." Han Shixiang nodded to Shi Bingyan and signaled, ignoring the other party's attempt to shake hands, and said to a major general beside him.

"Yes." The young general who looked only in his thirties agreed, then walked to the bodies that had just been lifted out, bent down and checked carefully.

"What's going on?" Han Shixiang raised his chin and signaled to the dazzling blood words on the screen wall.

"That's right, the murderer is named Hu Wenxue. It turns out that he is also the son of a pioneer farmer in Huaiqiang Fort. However, eight years ago, after his father Hu Fengnian was discovered for stealing several precious medicinal materials from the Bai family, Bai Chengyin of the Bai family accidentally beat Hu Fengnian to death when he captured the other party. For this reason, Bai Chengyin was sentenced to five years in prison for manslaughter." Shi Bingyan quickly explained to Han Shixiang, "After Hu Fengnian's death, he disappeared. Who knew that he would surrender to the Demon Sect..."

"Hmph!" After hearing this, Han Shixiang snorted coldly: "Over the years, business travelers have been cheated and robbed in Xiahezhou, and there have been many complaints from them. Xiahezhou's economy has not been able to improve, which is related to the poor security environment and the unwillingness of other merchants to invest and operate here. Some things are not unknown to the superiors."

This case is obviously a bit tricky, but Xiahezhou is under the jurisdiction of Qinzhou Prefecture, and he is not easy to interfere in some local matters, so he can only use words to hit He Mingfeng.

After hearing this, He Mingfeng turned red and argued: "Xia Hezhou borders the wilderness, is located in a remote place, and has many religious people, so it is indeed difficult to manage."

"Only when society is stable can the economy develop, and when the people's lives are better, public security cases will be reduced. This is a virtuous cycle..." Han Shixiang was unwilling to say more. The He family is very powerful in Qinzhou, and some things are hard to say, so they can only stop.

"Yes, Han Zhenshou is right. We will definitely work hard in the future to improve the security of Xiahezhou." He Mingfeng naturally could only listen to Han Shixiang's accusations, after all, the other party was an equal figure with his ancestor.

At this time, Director Xu stood up and said to Han Shixiang: "The guards have four people with a small amount of demonic energy left behind, and this is the other one..." There was a transparent glassware in his hand, with a black needle as thick as a hair, stained with blood, and a blue light on the surface.

"Black Blood Demon Needle..." Han Shixiang narrowed her eyes and looked at the black needle in the glass plate, and whispered in her mouth, "It seems that it is a crime of the Netherworld Sect. Can you find clues?"

Director Xu shook his head, "I have checked it just now. Although the other party seems to be arrogant, he has strong anti-tracking and reconnaissance capabilities. The traces of smell and other things disappeared completely after crossing the Nanchuan River."

"Well, it should be just the God Transformation Realm, not a big fish. You can stay for the time being and bring a few people to assist Lord He and Director Shi and others in investigating the case. This case involves the Demon Cult and needs to be taken seriously..."

...

This Ningchuan City is not far from the Hongchi Mountains, which obtained the inheritance of the Qingxuan Star Mansion of Weavergo and the ancient blood bat dragon space. After the space of the inheritance secret realm was broken, the lake formed serves as a void source air node. Not only is the concentration of the source air in Hongyanchi Lake much higher than that in other places, but there are many other sect sites in the ancient blood bat dragon secret realm, and there are also many treasures and even immortal weapons left behind, which has become a popular treasure hunting place.

However, if you want to hunt for treasure, you have to sneak into the bottom of Hongyanchi Lake. The depth of the lake formed by the deep valley reached nearly 500 meters, and it is not easy to dive into the bottom of the lake to hunt for treasure.

The biggest benefit of this secret realm of Hongyan Pool was actually obtained by Ling Li, and he also gained a lot of benefits at the Five Elements Site site. He even snatched a semi-finished low-grade immortal weapon - the Longyuan Spear. Therefore, Ling Li was not very interested in the treasure at the bottom of Hongyan Pool Lake.

It was half an afternoon when Ling Li arrived in Ningchuan City.

He did not contact the local officials, but instead directly found a hotel and rested in the guest room.

Ling Li took a nap for a while, and it was almost dusk before he got up.

After leaving the hotel, he inquired and then came to the lively pedestrian street. He first entered a prosperous and lively restaurant. He ordered three dishes in the hall. While drinking wine slowly, he listened to the local diners chatting. Dingchuan County is not large in population, only more than 300,000. Such a major murder case occurred in Huaiqiang Fort, which is naturally the main topic of conversation for people when chatting.

When talking about the Bai family, most people have a gloating attitude, saying that if they do unrighteous things, they will be punished. Many people even applaud. It seems that the image of the Bai family in the minds of the people of Nanchuan is not very good, and it is also considered a local domineering. Not only Huaiqiang Fort, but also many people in the county have been bullied by the Bai family.

After listening for a while, Ling Li probably understood that the Bai family had two sons, both of whom were extraordinary and worked in the government, and there was some influence in Dingchuan County.

He felt that the case itself was simple.

Ling Li decided to go to the crime scene in person at night.

Although the Xiqin Prefecture is a military prefecture and has relatively strict management of local officials, it is inevitable that some local officials collude with local tyrants to form criminal and evil forces.

To be honest, without the official background and network of relationships, it is difficult for evil forces to form any climate.

Since I have encountered some things, I naturally want to find out the truth.

This is not out of righteous indignation, but the current situation is relatively serious. Ling Li also hopes that the top leaders can clean up the official team before the disaster comes.

Prevent problems from happening.

Otherwise, in a critical moment, these things that seem to be less harmful will not vomit quickly, and may cause a lot of trouble.
