Magical Strategist

Go up to the second floor, which is the dormitory area.

Horrible!

There were cracks everywhere on the floor, walls, and ceiling. There was hardly any intact spot in the long corridor.

Zhenlong spent about an hour checking the traces, and the melee that night gradually emerged in front of his eyes. Then, he came to the first bedroom at the foot of the stairs. In his impression, Haitang should sleep in this room. When he pushed the door open, he saw that it was a mess inside, and the quilt on the bed was messy. It seemed that the owner of the bedroom got up in a hurry. There was a book placed next to the pillow. When he got closer, he saw that it was a collection of poems by Meadow, and there was a scented bookmark in the book. From this, it can be concluded that this is indeed Haitang's room, because Zhenlong once recommended Haitang to read Meadow's poems. After further investigation, there was a dried blood stain at the door of Haitang's room, and there were two sword marks on the door frame. Zhenlong guessed that Haitang might have been seriously injured in the melee.

Then, Zhenlong sorted out his thoughts: "That night, when everyone was asleep, six men in black killed the patrolmen outside the wall and broke into the palace. Haitang was the first to discover it, and then fought with five of them. Then, other people from Yingge also joined the fight, and there were some casualties, but not too many. After a while, the sixth man in black appeared, who might be the strongest among them. He injured Haitang and then started killing people. When Jasmine arrived, half of them were already injured or killed. Jasmine led the six men in black away and fought with them in the open space outside the palace. In the end, she was outnumbered and killed. Judging from the bloodstains in the open space, the men in black must have cut Jasmine's carotid artery to cause such a large amount of bleeding. It seems that their killing methods are extremely cruel."

Relying on his own inference, he tried to reconstruct the scene of that night as much as possible. Although the evidence left at the scene was not enough to prove that the murderer was a "resolute" person or a dark person, it can be preliminarily judged that: first, the murderer was a well-trained killer; second, they came prepared; third, they were instructed by someone.

After getting some information, Zhenlong couldn't help but have some questions: Where did the rest of the people go? Did they escape or were they caught? Yingge was heavily guarded, so how did the group kill the patrolmen and break into the dormitory area without making a sound? Could it be that they had spies inside Yingge? Moreover, Jasmine was very powerful, and her cultivation was enough to escape. If she couldn't defeat the enemy, why didn't she choose to escape? Moreover, Jasmine, as the president, was the last one to arrive, and she arrived after more than a hundred people had died. There must be something wrong. Was Jasmine poisoned before she died?

With a series of questions in mind, Zhenlong left the dormitory area and wandered alone in the open space in front of the palace.

Whoosh!

Suddenly, a dart with a flashing cold light shot towards the real dragon.

The real dragon was quick-witted and caught the dart with his bare hands. "Who!" The real dragon squinted his eyes and looked in the direction where the dart was thrown.

call out!

I saw a black shadow holding a sharp sword stabbing at the real dragon at a very fast speed. With the help of the blood curse, he easily dodged the sword stab of the man in black, and then punched the man in black in the abdomen.

puff!

The man in black was pushed back more than ten steps by Zhen Long, spitting out a mouthful of blood, and fell to the ground with his legs weakened. Suddenly, there was a "boom" and a cloud of black smoke rose into the sky. Zhen Long suddenly felt discomfort in his throat and kept coughing. When the black smoke disappeared, the man in black quickly climbed over the wall and fled.

"Did they know I would come here to investigate?" Zhen Long thought. When he looked at the dart in his hand, everything became clear. The bottom of the dart was clearly engraved with "Dark". Moreover, this dart was poisonous, a poison that could paralyze people.

"You are the secret agents! This time you have come to my door in person! With this, Xiaoya doesn't have to worry about not finding solid evidence." He kept the dart in his hand well and followed the place where the man in black disappeared.

"The man in black won't be able to escape far after I injured him!" He left Yingge and headed north along the river.

But when he chased him to a busy crossroads, he lost him. The dark man was not only elusive but also very good at escaping. He disappeared without a trace when you were not paying attention. In desperation, he had to give up chasing him. You are lucky! The real dragon snorted.

At this time, a child about ten years old came out from the crowd. To be exact, he came for Zhenlong. He pulled Zhenlong's clothes and asked, "Are you Brother Lier Zhenlong?"

"Who are you?" It was strange. He had never met the boy before, so how did he know his name?

The child did not tell his name. He pointed to a tavern across the street and said, "There is a sister there who has been waiting for you for a long time. Go quickly."

"Wait for me?" He said, looking towards the tavern not far away, thinking that he didn't know many people in Winnie City, and she was a woman, who could she be? What was even more strange was how she knew that she would appear here. Could it be related to the man in black just now? "Can you tell me who it is?" When Zhenlong asked again, the child had disappeared.

How strange! He walked into the pub the child had mentioned with a series of questions. The pub was not big, only one floor. He first walked around the public area and found that the people drinking were all hooligans, and there was no woman. He continued to walk inside and came to the private room area. There were four private rooms in total, three of which were empty, and one room had a closed door, as if someone was there.

Knock, knock, knock! The real dragon knocked on the door.

"Come in." A soft female voice came from inside.

When I pushed the door open, I saw a woman leaning against the windowsill. She was wearing a white gown and her long black hair was draped over her shoulders. Even the most ordinary clothes could not conceal her noble temperament. The wind outside the window blew her clothes and her hair, making her look very charming.

"Haitang!?" Everything happened so suddenly and unexpectedly, Zhenlong looked at the black-haired woman with extremely surprised eyes. As he saw, the woman was the daughter of the Douglas family————Douglas Haitang.

The misty clouds open up the painting, and the person in front of me is the one I love.

Time will make people understand love, and time can prove love.

The man she had been thinking about day and night finally stood before her.

An excitement that was difficult to suppress appeared on Haitang's face, her lips were trembling, her eyes were moist, and her breathing was no longer so smooth... She was like a beautiful statue, standing there quietly, just standing there quietly.

"I didn't expect to meet you here." Zhenlong said with a smile.

If it was another woman, she would have burst into tears. But Haitang was different. She was emotional for a few seconds and then quickly regained her composure. She restrained her emotions and suppressed all the excitement and excitement deep in her heart. Haitang quickly regained her rationality, and her pale face forced a smile. She said, "Let's sit down and talk."

There was an unopened jar of fine wine on the rectangular table, with two wine glasses next to the jar.

"How is it, have you found anything?" Haitang suddenly asked. She seemed to know everything about Zhenlong.

Zhenlong was surprised, then slowly said: "It can be basically concluded that it was done by the dark people."

Suddenly, Haitang's body twitched. She covered her chest with her palms, and a painful expression appeared on her pale face. Her mouth opened and she gasped heavily. Her eyes had lost their former pride and arrogance, and were replaced by dullness and dullness.

When Zhenlong entered the room, he saw that Haitang was seriously injured. He didn't expect it to be so serious. "If you are so seriously injured, why don't you lie down on the bed and rest? Why did you come out to drink?"

"I'm fine." Haitang took a breath and continued, "Did you just say that the attack on Yingge was done by a dark man?"

Zhenlong replied: "Yes, I went to the scene to investigate. There were six people in total, and each of them had extraordinary skills. But there is one thing that puzzles me."

"What's the matter?" Haitang asked hurriedly.

"You are the victim, so it's okay for me to tell you. I guess Jasmine was poisoned before her death, and it was done by someone inside Yingge. Who would frame Jasmine? By the way, Haitang, did you find anyone acting abnormal or suspicious that day?"

"No!" Haitang answered decisively. Her eyes suddenly became uncertain, as if she knew something but didn't want to say it.

Normally, one would be shocked to know that Jasmine had been poisoned before her death, but Haitang seemed so calm and seemed to be deliberately avoiding it.

Although he noticed Haitang's abnormality, he didn't think about it in other ways. Haitang was now physically and mentally traumatized, so it was normal for her not to reveal more. Most importantly, Zhenlong and Haitang had known each other for a long time and they had a deep understanding of each other. Haitang looked arrogant and incompatible with others, but in fact she was kind-hearted and sometimes naive. Zhenlong quickly dispelled his doubts.
