spooky invasion

Chapter 1169 The Dumb Eats Coptis

This time, the guards arrived at the scene significantly faster.Almost 3 minutes after Jiang Yue and the others issued the warning, more than a dozen guards rushed to the scene.The battalion officer Lie Chi also rushed to the scene with his entourage a few minutes later.

The alarm was sent by Jiang Yue's side, so the guards naturally came to Jiang Yue's side first to investigate the situation.

According to Jiang Yue's description, the situation is not complicated.They were too tired from working during the day, and they had already fallen asleep, and they had a good habit of always assigning one of them to be on duty at night, and each of them took turns for a period of time.

Jin Tong, who was on night duty just now, heard unusual movements, which seemed to be coming from underground, and there seemed to be someone screaming.

According to this clue, Lie Chi immediately arranged for the guards with the ground movement technique to investigate the situation.

At least 10 minutes had passed since Xiaoqi backstabbed Amon and Amon uttered that scream, and when the guards arrived and Blazing arranged for the guards to investigate.

Qingzhe below has already dealt with the first scene.The blood stains were gone, and the toxins were also disposed of by him.However, the time was still too short, and it was impossible to deal with all the traces of the police on the scene.

The guards quickly found out some movement. There were indeed some signs of looseness in the ground. It seemed that someone had just moved there. Although there was not much movement, something must have happened.

The investigating guard informed Lie Chi of the situation.

After listening to the report, Lie Chi frowned and said: "So, when you hear the movement, you sound the alarm. The other party has not had time to attack you?"

"Yes, the other party must know that the guards are nearby, and he is also guilty. Lord Lie Chi, who will it be this time? Could it be that the two lizardmen still don't give up?"

Those two Lizardmen were the sores of Blaze and his defenders, a pain they were ashamed of.Such a large-scale pursuit was escaped by those two damned lizardmen.This is definitely a very embarrassing thing for their guard battalion.

Before, he swore that he would not be able to escape, but in the end, not only did he fail to catch the two lizardmen, but now it seems that they have come to him again.And, again, dodged their guards.

This is treating the medicine garden as an amusement park.

Although they didn't do anything to the Mushroom Man's medicine workers this time, wouldn't it be the biggest offense and irony to their guards to touch the medicine garden again and again?
What's the matter, your guard battalion claims that the defense has no dead ends, and it is fully covered, so it is difficult for a fly to fly in.What happened to these lizardmen?

The first time can be said to be negligent, not expected in advance.Well, it's only been a few days, and the second time came again.Is this still negligence?This is clearly incompetence!
Lie Chi actually had a good impression of Jiang Yue. Seeing that he was very worried, he comforted him: "Don't think about it, maybe it's the lizard people this time. In my opinion, those two lizard people can't be so bold. What's more, with the current defense strength of the guard camp, there is no reason for the two lizardmen to touch this place. In my opinion, it is probably not the two lizardmen this time. There may be other secrets here. You Rest assured, we will seriously investigate and give you an explanation."

Jiang Yue didn't really care if he said it or not.

He tactfully guided him: "Lord Lie Chi, last time the Lizardman also attacked Qingzhe and the others. I don't know what's going on with them tonight?"

Lie Chi said: "Several people have been arranged to go over to investigate, and there should be news soon."

Just as he was talking, the people sent to inquire about the situation quickly turned around.

"My lord, it is said that there was an attack, and someone was injured, and the injury was serious."

Lie Chi couldn't help but frowned, and waved: "Go, go and have a look."

To say that Lie Chi really doesn't like Qingzhe's group of mushroom people.The last time Lie Chi heard the conversation between Qingzhe and Jiang Yue, it was Qingzhe who persuaded Jiang Yue that the mushroom people should unite and deal with the lizardmen together.

And Jiang Yue answered very decently at the time, saying that he only needs to do his job well in the manor, and he doesn't need to worry too much about other things.

Lie Chi's first impression of who is responsible and who is not a law-abiding person left his own judgment.

Now that he heard that there were casualties on Qingzhe's side, he actually didn't care about the life and death of those mushroom people, but if people were killed again and again, he, the boss of the guard battalion, would lose face.If Master Hu pursues it, he will definitely suffer.

Jiang Yue also guessed Lie Chi's psychology, but he didn't say much.

If Qingzhe's group had always harbored ill intentions towards the three of them, according to Jiang Yue's methods in the surface world, that group of mushroom people had died at least three times.

If it wasn't for worrying that killing those people would not be a good ending, how could Jiang Yue allow those bastards to attack them again and again?
Lie Chi went over to check on the situation, and Jiang Yue and the others naturally followed to watch the excitement.

Right now, Jiang Qiao and Sangou don't know much about the situation, but this doesn't affect their enthusiasm for eating melons in the slightest.

When he came to Qingzhe's group's house, Lie Chi didn't show any politeness to them, and directly pushed the door open.

The few mushroom people inside are now like a defeated rooster, dejected, the atmosphere is very dignified, and there is a deep sadness in the dignified.

Amang still failed to save him. The stabbing from the back still hurt his vitals. In addition, he lost a lot of blood, and he died not long after he returned to the house.

And Xiao Qi, the murderer, was still in a coma.

As a result, Qingzhe's group of six people now only has three new recruits left, and all of them are demoralized and downcast.

"What's the situation on your side? Who was attacked? Why didn't you hear the alarm?" Lie Chi must have the ability to become a battalion officer.

Seeing the heavy casualties on Qingzhe's side, this did not affect Lianchi's interrogation.

Because he instinctively felt that there was something wrong with the atmosphere here, and the details seemed somewhat illogical.

If Qingzhe and his group were attacked, shouldn't they be the first to issue the alarm?Why did Zuyao issue the alarm instead?
After being questioned by Lie Chi, Qingzhe realized that even though he had eliminated all the evidence, he still hadn't taken care of some details.

However, he was able to become the leader of the mushroom people, so it is not for nothing.

"At that time, Amon was on patrol with Xiaoqi, and we didn't even know what happened. After hearing the alarm, we rushed out of the house, and then saw Xiaoqi fleeing back into the house with the injured Amon on his back. .Now Amon is seriously injured and Xiaoqi is in a coma. We are still at a loss as to what exactly happened."

Qingzhe also knew that what she said was actually not perfect.But when it comes to this, he can't stay silent.

If he can't deal with it, Lie Chi's suspicion will definitely increase.At that time, if they follow the clues and find out about them, it may be a disaster for their group.

This is not a joke. Planning to attack your companions in the middle of the night is of a bad nature.

After listening to Lie Chi, he thought for a moment silently, and said calmly: "Where is Xiao Qi, can we take a look?"

Qingzhe said sadly: "He fell into a deep coma. I tried many methods just now, but I couldn't wake him up. I think this situation is more ominous."

Lie Chi said indifferently: "You are working for Lord Tiger, but if there is any hope, Lord Tiger will invite the best doctor to treat you."

As he said that, Lie Chi ordered his subordinates: "Go, surround their house, spread out and search, first find the scene of their fight. Amon's injury is so serious, even if there is no trace of fighting at the scene, there must be blood. Lock the scene of the crime, and then study who the opponent is. As long as there is a trace of fighting left on the scene, there will always be some clues to the murderer."

"Yes."

Seeing those guards coming out in a file, Qingzhe actually complained in his heart, but he still thanked him on the face: "Master Lie Chi has a heart. I think it is mostly those lizard people who are causing trouble. Amon said before that those lizard people will not let it go No. Unexpectedly, the first person to die was actually himself..."

Lie Chi disagreed with his statement: "Whether it's a lizard man or not, don't rush to make a conclusion. With the current guard strength of the medicine garden, unless the two lizard men have been dormant near you, they have not escaped from the medicine garden's sphere of influence. Otherwise, they would never be able to break in from the outside. Last time we chased and killed those two lizardmen, they had already escaped from the sphere of influence of the manor. We chased and killed them all the way for hundreds of miles. They escaped because they were not familiar with the terrain."

If I had to say who least wanted this incident to be done by the Lizardmen, it would be Blaze.

Being attacked by the same group of lizardmen twice in a row, should he, the commander of the guard battalion, still lose face?
But Jiang Yue suddenly said: "Your Excellency Qingzhe, I think Master Lie Chi is right. This time it may not be the lizard man. If it is really a lizard man, why do you always attack you first? It is said that those lizard people have no personal enmity with you. They have personal grievances with us. Shouldn’t they target us first? Or, do you have any enemies who are also eyeing this place?”

Jiang Yue was undoubtedly making up the knife.

And this cut made Qingzhe and the others extremely uncomfortable.

After hearing this, Lie Chi was very happy.His affection for Jiang Yue added another layer.I had looked at Jiang Yue pleasingly before, and felt that this mushroom had general knowledge.

Now it seems that he not only understands the general situation, but also knows how to behave.

The most important thing is that Lie Chi has completely understood that the two groups of mushroom people really do not deal with each other.Not only is it impossible to form a group, but it even seems that there is still a deep gap between them.

Otherwise, with the blood of the same ethnic group as the mushroom people, it makes no sense to live one at the head and one at the end.

This clearly means that they are deliberately separated and do not disturb each other.

"What Zu Yao said is also reasonable. We have also observed the situation and found some clues, which do not seem to be traces of lizard people's actions." Lie Chi said.

Qingzhe complained endlessly.The original plan was to quietly kill Jiang Yue and his group, and then create a scene, pretending to be a lizardman to commit the crime.

But all this hadn't happened yet, and he didn't even have time to fake the scene of the lizardmen's actions.

Even when Amon was stabbed and Xiaoqi was taken down by him, everything happened in a flash, and he didn't have much time to make the most correct reaction.

Qingzhe could only be distressed and said: "Even if it is not a lizardman, how can people feel at ease when there are successive attacks? How long have we been here? Two brothers have already paid for it. One is unconscious, I think it is enough. Lord Liechi, I would like to ask, if the manor can't even guarantee our basic safety, what's the point of us earning those few silver coins by working here? The risk is so great, it's more important than our three-star mission. The death rate is higher, which is completely inconsistent with the initial statement that there is almost no risk. I ask the manor to give us an explanation."

Now Qingzhe has slowly calmed down.

He knew that if his attitude was weak and trembling, it would easily arouse suspicion.

His companion is dead, comatose, and he is still timid. Isn't he telling others that they are very guilty?
At this time, you have to be tough, strike hard, and ask the manor directly for an explanation.

The tougher your attitude, the more you can put yourself aside.

Seeing this scene in Jiang Yue's eyes, he had to feel admiration for Qingzhe.The other party was able to react quickly with him in such a state of surprise, and deal with it to this extent, it is definitely a quick reaction and a decent response.

Lie Chi casts a deep glance at Qing Zhe.

Although he was being questioned, this kind of weak person's questioning was just a powerless noise to Lie Chi, so he didn't care.

What's more, he has always had a strange intuition that Qingzhe's reaction is too strange.

If they are really angry and worried about their safety.Why didn't it show up the first time.

Lie Chi remembered that when he first entered the door, these lizardmen were obviously sad and panicked, and did not show any obvious anger.

Even if Qingzhe just showed an angry accusation and questioning, the reaction of the remaining two mushroom men did not follow up in time.

On the faces of the two mushroom men, the anger was not seen in time.

Lie Chi, the chief of the guard battalion, is no idiot, he naturally sees all these weird details.

And one after another, the sent guards returned one after another.

"My lord, I have checked the surroundings several times, but I didn't find the battle scene, nor did I see blood, and even... we didn't see any traces of walking."

The fiery eyes became a little playful.

"Qingzhe, your daily patrols are in this area of ​​the medicine garden, right? It shouldn't take long from Zuyao and the others to issue an early warning to Xiaoqi's return to Aman? That is to say, if there is a crime scene , it should be near here. Why can’t I find the first scene of the crime. Tell me, is there any trick here?”

Qingzhe said angrily: "My lord, my people died or were injured in your territory, you ask me what is my name? Shouldn't this be your responsibility?"

It's not that Qingzhe doesn't want to answer, but that he really doesn't know how to answer.

Without the first scene, this is indeed the biggest logical flaw.

Lie Chi said indifferently: "Don't worry, I'm just talking about one possibility. If all other possibilities are ruled out, then, if they were killed and injured, could it be internal strife?"
