Villain: The memory of the tyrant is exposed, the empress cries

The sun rose in the sky, the city gate slowly opened, and Lu Ran's carriage headed for the gate of the government office.

"In Xiabei Yao Mansion, several imperial envoys have been exhausted all the way. I have already arranged residences for them, and I would like to invite them to rest for a few days."

When Lu Ran arrived at the government office, he waited in the living room for 10 minutes, and then a fat middle-aged man trotted in front of the four of Lu Ran.

It's just that this Fu Yin has a strong smell of rouge on a woman's body. It seems that last night was another night of romance.

Lu Ran was holding his ring sword in his hand, and the blue gemstone on the hilt shone brightly: "No need, our mission here is to investigate the case of missing persons, your private life and officialdom have nothing to do with us, as long as you Don't disturb our investigation of the case, we don't care about your affairs, now take me to check the case files."

Fu Yin quickly nodded and bowed: "Yes, yes, yes, four imperial envoys, please follow me."

Fu Yin heard that Lu Ran only investigated the missing persons case, and he was very happy about it, because the missing persons case had nothing to do with him.

Although he might be investigated for dereliction of duty in the end, the relationship with the higher-ups has already been established. If it is because of malicious actions, the punishment he will receive will be very small.

Fu Yin led Lu Ran and four people into the government office, and soon a thick case file appeared in front of Lu Ran.

Lu Ran sat on the table and began to look up the case files alone, while the three of Yan Rui sat aside and drank tea.

This case file is a case file that integrates several cases and investigates them together.

The first case of disappearance happened three months ago, on the fifth day of the Lunar New Year, a group of practitioners in the Qi refining period went into the mountain to hunt fierce beasts and never came back.

In the beginning, after the county government received the report, it simply ignored such cases.

Can cultivators hunt fierce beasts and be killed by fierce beasts, can it be counted as a case?
Something that happens every day.

But the disappearance of the cultivator happened again soon, this time it was another group of cultivators in the Qi refining period.

However, because it was managed by another county government, the two cases were not handled together.

This kind of thing happened continuously in the next two months, and the practitioners from the Qi refining period to the foundation building period disappeared continuously.

It's just that the area of ​​the branch is relatively large, and most of them went missing in the forest to hunt animals before the accident, so the local county government didn't care at all.

Until a month ago, a cultivator affiliated to the county government led a team to hunt and never came back.

The cultivator who led the team happened to be the county magistrate's brother-in-law, so this matter was taken seriously by the county government.

The county government came forward to investigate and found that there were no traces of monks fighting fierce beasts in the forest. It looked like a trace of monks fighting monks.

However, there was no body of any monk at the scene, and it was suspected that the monk had been taken away.

Only half a month after this incident broke out, all the people in a mountain village disappeared.

The location of this mountain village happened to be near a small sect.

The strength of the head of this small sect is Jindan fifth rank.

After the accident, I participated in the investigation, and soon found a mysterious village in a valley, but this village seemed to have never been used, as if someone built it here on purpose.

After the head of the small sect reported the matter to the county government, he went to the village in the valley again, but this time he never came back.

Lu Ran put down the thick case file, handed the case file to Yan Rui who was beside him, and meditated by himself.

The sun was rising, and Yan Rui also finished reading the case file in her hand and closed it.

As for Shi Qi and Tang Xiaodie.

Even if they looked at it, it was in vain.

"Lu Ran, what do you think about this?" Yan Rui asked.

Lu Ran took a sip of tea: "A kidnapping case against cultivators, but we don't know what the purpose is yet."

Yan Rui felt that what Lu Ran said made sense, but she couldn't figure it out: "Since it is a kidnapping case against a cultivator, what's the use of kidnapping a cultivator?"

"If it is kidnapping a gifted child, after brainwashing and training, a top killer will be cultivated, but if it is kidnapping an adult who has no talent, why kidnap them?"

Lu Ran suddenly remembered what Ao Jiao said, and lowered his head and muttered in a low voice: "If these people go to the electronics factory to screw screws, they may not have to rest for 24 hours."

"What?" Yan Rui heard Lu Ran ask in a low voice.

Lu Ran quickly shook his head: "It's nothing, have you noticed that the monks who were hunting monsters who disappeared at the beginning, all they heard was 'there are monsters in the forest around the village', I doubt that these monsters are real existing."

Yan Rui frowned: "But the county magistrate has sent someone to investigate, and there are no beasts in the forest at all."

Lu Ran put two fingers on the table to make a running gesture: "Because those beasts were deliberately placed there before the incident happened, and then ran away when the incident happened."

Yan Rui suddenly understood: "You mean, those legendary beasts are beast-riding beasts, and someone deliberately used beast-riding beasts to scare the villagers around the forest."

"But the villagers couldn't tell the difference between the beast and the beast, so they told the village about the sight of the beast."

"Use this to hunt the cultivators in the village."

Lu Ran nodded: "The initial thing is roughly like this."

Yan Rui asked suspiciously: "But later, how to explain the disappearing village."

Lu Ran shook his head this time: "I don't know about this, maybe it's because the demand has increased greatly, or something else, we should go to the scene to see it now, and we can't see anything just from the file."

Yan Rui agreed with Lu Ran: "Let's set off now."

Lu Ran shook his head: "This matter is not urgent, I think we have to finish lunch before proceeding."

Yan Rui frowned: "There is still time for lunch now? So many people have been lost, let's eat on the way."

Lu Ran pointed to Shi Qi and Tang Xiaodie who were lying on the table with resentful faces: "I don't care, if I don't feed them both, they will go on strike [-]%."

Hearing Lu Ran's words, Shi Qi and Tang Xiaodie, who were lying on the table, said "um" in unison.

Yan Rui rubbed her forehead, and suddenly felt that she was not like a master of Jindan period at all, but like a kindergarten principal.

All three are problem children.

Hearing that the three of them were going to have lunch, Fu Yin immediately called several cooks to the house to cook for the four of them.

Just before eating, Fu Yin asked the servants to give each of them a small box, and when the box was opened, there was a string of Buddhist beads inside.

Fu Yin said with a smile: "These Buddhist beads were given to several imperial envoys, and all of them were consecrated by the master master of Tianguang Temple to ward off evil spirits."

Lu Ran frowned: "To ward off evil spirits? Why did you give us this thing?"

Fu Yin said mysteriously: "Because this case may be done by a ghost."
