Pokémon: Legend of the Rockies

Because Li Yan still had to take care of Chu Siyi, he chose to live at home. Li Yan did not go to the palace that night, but chose to go to Dali Temple to ask Di Renjie for the file.

There are very few known clues now, and there is no way to investigate after going to the palace. It is necessary to understand the detailed process of the incident first, and only Dali Temple has the recorded files.

After Li Yan borrowed the dossier home, he began to study the words.

In the middle of the night, Chu Siyi and Xiao Zhu had already fallen asleep, and Li Yan was thinking in the study alone. He had already read the not too thick file five times, and found some strange patterns.

A total of 5 murders occurred before and after the palace. The first time it happened in the backyard of the kitchen. The one who died was a young eunuch who was chopping firewood.

The second time it happened in the corridor, the deceased was a night guard.

The third time started to be different, the third time happened in the emperor's harem!
The deceased were three newly recruited eunuchs.

The number of deaths has increased, and the location is also very strange. It is actually a harem, which is not accessible to ordinary people, and there are no witnesses that day, which makes people suspect that the monster is in a hurry.

The fourth time and the fifth time, a total of 7 people died, including court ladies, but most of them were guards. A total of 12 people died before and after.

Li Yan sorted out several doubts:

1. Every corpse is a mummy that has been sucked out of blood, and someone has proved that the deceased was still alive the day before.

2. The timing of the five murders was irregular and faster and faster. There was a week between the first and second murders, and only two days between the fourth and fifth murders.

3. The number of victims of each crime will increase, and the target has a clear direction, most of them are men.

4. The location of the murder is irregular and unlimited, and it can happen anywhere.

5. There were some hair-like substances left at the scene, which were suspected to belong to the murderer. After inspection, I learned that these were not human hair.

6. The case only happened in the palace, and only at night.

7. The dead are just some insignificant servants, and those court officials are fine.

In fact, there are still many small doubts, such as the wounds on the corpse, the relationship between the deceased, the traces of the murder at the scene, etc., which have not been listed.

These 7 points alone were enough for Li Yan to have a headache. After traveling through time, Li Yan understood an important truth:

In this world, all unreasonable and incredible things are caused by Pokémon. Even the ghosts that people often say are just undiscovered Pokémon.

It is modern, and so is ancient times.

Combining the above suspicious points, it is not difficult to deduce that someone in the palace is raising some kind of Pokémon with human blood!
Moreover, this person's identity is not ordinary, he can freely enter and exit every corner of the palace, even the harem!
Of course, it is also possible that the person commanded the Pokémon and sneaked into the harem to commit murder, then this leads to another question:
Why would the murderer do this?
Why do you want to raise such a Pokémon that drinks human blood?
There are several reasons:
Self-preservation, assassination, panic.

These are all good, after all, there is a clear purpose, you can follow the clues to find the real culprit, the most feared is the fourth reason!

There is no reason, it is purely the indiscriminate killing of innocent people caused by perverted interests!

Just like the random killing in the previous life, it is the most difficult to crack.

Before he knew it, a huge piece of paper on the table had been filled with writing by Li Yan, on which was a mind map composed of various doubts and conjectures.

The door was slowly pushed open, Chu Siyi walked in wearing a piece of clothing, holding a candle, seeing that Li Yan hadn't noticed her, and then gently hugged him from behind.

Li Yan was taken aback, and after smelling the familiar body fragrance, Li Yan recognized that it was Chu Siyi.

Chu Siyi was worried about Li Yan's health, so she came over to persuade him to rest. Li Yan was really tired, so she and Chu Siyi just fell asleep in the study.

Li Yan got up at noon the next day. After returning the file to Di Renjie, Li Yan continued to inquire about information. Now he not only wanted to inquire about information about Ye Chen and the other three, but also paid attention to Jiuli's movements. Now there was another strange news about the palace.

Yifenglou will definitely not go again, after all, Li Yanjie takes care of himself, and every time he goes there, he always feels like a eunuch.

On the other hand, because Yang Yuhuan was also in Yifenglou, I didn't want to disturb Tang Xuanzong's meeting with her.

Li Yan often goes to a teahouse recently. The first floor is an ordinary hall, and the people drinking tea and chatting inside are ordinary people. Those with a little money will go to the private room on the second floor.

Rich people like landlords would go to the three-person room to drink tea, and the cheapest tea in it started at 20 taels of silver.

As for the fourth floor, which is the highest, one can go up there not only with money, but also with status. Li Yan managed to get up to the fourth floor by virtue of his identity as a monster catcher, but he didn't go there often, mainly because the tea inside was too expensive.

Li Yan still likes to jump back and forth between the first floor and the second floor. The tea here is delicious, and there are a lot of information. Everyone is talented, and they speak nicely. Li Yan really likes it here.

Over time, Li Yan also had a few tea friends. Every day when he was free, he would drink tea with them, chat with them and gather information.

This trick is really effective, among the mountains of information, Li Yan really learned a piece of useful information.
It is said that Wu Zetian made a deal with a monster back then and sold his body to the monster, so he became the throne, and the child she had with the monster was Wu Zhouxia!

Wu Zhouxia has half of the blood of the monster clan, so he especially likes monsters. I heard that he secretly raises monsters in the palace.

If these words reached the ears of those in the palace, they would definitely be beheaded, but fortunately, Li Yan was famously tight-lipped and never leaked any information, so everyone reassuredly told Li Yan about this legend, which also just provided a direction for the murder case that Li Yan was investigating.

That night, Li Yan packed up his stuff, took his Pokémon, said goodbye to Chu Siyi, and headed to the gloomy palace!

Li Yan arrived at the gate, and after showing the guard at the gate the demon-catching token issued by Wu Zetian himself, he walked into the palace.
