"Team Zong, what did you find?"

Shen Xi noticed the change in Zongci, and hurriedly stepped forward to investigate carefully.

The fragments of the corpses of the three deceased were repaired by spiritual power, showing their true appearance when they died, although the repaired corpses were not complete.

His complexion was blue, even black, and the skin all over his body was dry.

Three unanimous.

This looks familiar?

Shen Xi always felt that this kind of death was very familiar, but he couldn't remember it for a while.

"Their energy has been sucked dry." Seeing him thinking hard, Zong Ci said something.

"That's right!" Shen Xi suddenly realized, and an unclear memory emerged, "It's the same as Chen Silong, the second male deceased in the human skin case!"

Absorbing the energy of human beings can improve the inner cultivation level in a short period of time, which is a crooked way.

"Although the three deceased are not directly connected, their cause of death is the same." Zong Ci opened his mouth, and the doubts in his heart were finally resolved.

When the perpetrator committed the crime, there was no specific target group, but his killing intent was obvious!

"I heard from Liuhuo about your inference, and there is one more thing. After our analysis, we found that the internal organs of the deceased were stagnant with blood..." The pharmacist took the opportunity to say, "If the perpetrator used snow as a murder weapon without authorization, he should have used snow particles first. stuff to block the mouth and nose of the deceased, making them suffocate and unconscious for a short time.”

In this way, not only can the deceased be suffocated, but also prevent them from calling for help.

Kill two birds with one stone.

Shen Xi listened carefully to the pharmacist's words, and connected the clues he had obtained before, "The perpetrator sucked the essence, killed and divided the body, wrapped it in snow, and buried it on the spot."

In order to improve his cultivation, the perpetrator used snow to commit the crime; but the snow god who could perceive was lying.

Not to protect yourself, but to protect others?

"Team Zong, with Snow God's cultivation level, he shouldn't be able to do such a thing, right?"

"Snow God relies on his own cultivation to fall snow in winter." Zong Ci asked back, "Do you think the amount of snowfall recently is not enough?"

Snow God is attaching spiritual power to snowflakes, covering the earth, so as to inject energy into everything in winter.At the beginning of spring in the next year, all things will give back the natural energy to her to improve her cultivation.

In this way, interdependence.

Shen Xi thought of the heavy snowfall in various places recently, and quickly shook his head, "So, the Snow God was lying before to protect others?"

"It's possible." Zong Ci frowned, feeling that the case was not simple.

Can the gods lie for her?What is the origin of this perpetrator?

Also, eyewitness Xiaoli said that Zhu Heng stayed with a long-haired woman before his death...

Could this woman be the perpetrator?

***

"Team Zong! You are here!" The door opened and rushed in, "I was just about to find you."

"Liuhuo." Shen Xi looked at him, and took out the things in his backpack, "Here, these sandwiches and milk are brought for you for breakfast, eat quickly! Don't be hungry."

The tired look on Liu Huo's face was wiped away, and he hurried to Shen Xi's side, "Xi Xi, I really saw you right!"

Seeing this, Zong Ci fell silent.

Liu Huo ate a few mouthfuls, filled his stomach, and then got down to business.

"Team Zong, I have already found the list of monsters who are good at using snow!"

"What was the result?" Zong Ci asked unhurriedly.

Shen Xi was also very concerned about this result, and quickly looked at Liu Huo.

"There are 26 monsters who were born, and 71 of them lived in the demon world. Only four of them have been repaired for more than 500 years. But in order to prevent omissions, I and other members of the investigation team checked all these monsters. At the time of the three incidents, all of them had confirmed alibi!"

In other words, among the monsters registered by the Monster Bureau, there is no reason for the timing of the crime.

This result is really surprising.

The perpetrator is not a demon, let alone a human being.Yue Junming in the previous case was just a special case.

"What else did you check?" Zong Ci saw that he was about to speak, and opened his mouth.

"Because we couldn't find any results, the other members of the investigation team and I expanded the scope." Liu Huo hesitated for a while, "With a cultivation base of more than 500 years, except for the great monster with extraordinary strength, it is a god."

Since ancient times, gods have always been an inviolable existence.

And Liuhuo put the suspicion on the god's head, no wonder he would be squeaky and dare not speak.

Zongci thought for a while, then sighed and said, "Tell me."

He would not doubt the findings of the detective team.

Now, it is common sense to expand the scope of the investigation.

"There are two."

The times are developing rapidly, and now, the number of ancient monsters and gods is even rarer.

Zong Ci was not surprised by the number of people reported by Liu Huo.

"Liuhuo, who is it?" Shen Xi asked.

Liu Huo looked at him, and didn't hide from him, simply and neatly announced the titles of the two gods.

"Snow God and Qingnv."

Snow God, the master of winter; Qingnv, the god of frost and snow.

A long-haired woman who is good at using snow.Snow God lied to cover up others.Such a thought...

"Team Zong!" Shen Xi hurriedly looked at Zong Ci.

Zong Ci's expression turned serious, "Liuhuo, go home and rest. Shen Xi, go out with me."

"where to?"

"Jincheng, Qingyao Mountain."

***

Qingyao Mountain, the highest peak.

When the two arrived here, it was not yet twelve o'clock at noon.

The sun is shining brightly, as if it wants to melt all the white snow on the peaks.

Zong Ci led Shen Xi to a remote corner.He exerted a touch of spiritual power and waited quietly for a while.

Not long after, a white enchantment appeared, and a woman in maid uniform came out.

She walked slowly in front of Zong Ci, slightly curtly, "Your Majesty."

Your Majesty?

This is the second time Shen Xi has heard others address Zong Ci like this.

Shen Xi thought roughly, only to realize that he knew nothing about Zong Ci's true background.

"Shen Xi, don't be distracted, come in with me."

Zong Ci's voice came from ahead, faintly, with a little helplessness.

"Oh, good." Shen Xi didn't dare to delay, and followed Zongci into the white barrier.

It didn't take long to enter a new world.

It is also a mountain peak, surrounded by clouds and mist, but the air is purer and fresher.A path is opened in the snow, leading directly to the exquisite attic not far away.

"Bingqing Pavilion?"

Shen Xi saw the plaque and murmured in a low voice.

"Your Majesty, there is this distinguished guest, please follow me." The maid pointed the way.

The two followed her and entered the attic leisurely.

The faint fragrance is accompanied by the sound of strings, which makes people feel very comfortable.

In the quaint pavilion, a woman is sitting in the center, her skin is set off like snow and cream in a green dress.The long black hair was tied into a simple bun, which was generous.

She looked down at the guqin in front of her, and her exquisite jade fingers were plucking the strings at will.

"My lord, the distinguished guest has arrived." The maid came to her side and stood still.

"It's rare for outsiders to set foot in my attic." The woman raised her head and showed her face, her eyebrows and eyes were picturesque.She whispered softly, "Why do you have time to come here today, Your Majesty?"

"Young girl." Zong Ci called her by her first name, implying seriousness.

This person in front of them is the young girl they are looking for?

Shen Xi choked, and became more and more puzzled.

What is the identity of the Zong team?The young girl calls him 'Jun Shang', but he can call him by his first name?

The young girl heard his tone and was slightly stunned.She got up and walked towards Zongci, her clothes slightly moved, "What's the matter? You might as well just say it."

"The night before, at the foot of your Qingyao Mountain, a murder occurred."

Surprise flashed in the green girl's eyes, and then she laughed, "It seems that Jun Shang really did something for the Monster Bureau?"

"The assailant used snow to commit the crime, sucked the spirit of the dead, and wrapped it up." Zong Ci was unmoved, and said simply, "It happened in your territory, did you know?"

"Doubt me?" The young girl flicked her sleeves and laughed wantonly, "Zongci, I can call you the king, it is enough to give you face. I, young girl, have never allowed other people to slander at will!"

If you retract, you will be quiet and restrained, and if you move, you will be arrogant.

The atmosphere became tense for a moment.

"Please also ask the young girl to be conscious and release her spiritual power so that I can explore." Zong Ci directly used spiritual power to form a blue long sword, aiming at the young girl.

There is no self-consciousness at all.Although crude, it is the simplest and most effective method.

***

Shen Xi saw the young girl's ugly face for a moment, and felt silent mourning for her.

If this was put into modern times, who would dare to treat a beautiful woman like this?

Zong team like this, I'm afraid they want to pay attention to orphans, right?

"Your Majesty!" The maid was shocked when she saw this.She hurriedly stepped forward and said, "My lord's spiritual power is fading, and I haven't been out of the house for nearly a hundred years. I also heard about what happened at the foot of the mountain last night. My lord stayed in the pavilion to rest that day, please pay attention!"

The maid Lingshuang was in a hurry, so she told Qingnu's physical condition.

The young woman's face changed again and again, and she was extremely silent.

In the past, she would not be afraid of Zongci at all.

But now, there are fewer and fewer gifts to her in the world, and as time goes by, her spiritual power is not as good as before.At this moment, she actually did not dare to confront Zong Ci head-on.

"Lingshuang, step back!" The young girl closed her eyes to concentrate, and finally sighed, "Forget it, if you want to find out, you can find out."

When Zong Ci heard the words, a trace of hesitation flashed in his eyes.

He was not afraid that the young girl would escape, so he simply withdrew his spiritual power.He just said to Shen Xi behind him, "Shen Xi, release your spiritual power to her."

If one absorbs energy to improve one's cultivation, no matter whether it is a god or a monster, the spiritual power in the body will appear abnormal.

As for Shen Xi's spiritual power, Zong Ci had seen it before.

Pure and pure.

If Qingnv really did something she shouldn't do, as long as Shen Xi uses her own spiritual power to test it, she will know instantly.

"Ah? I'm coming?"

Shen Xi, who had been acting as a little transparent by the side, was called out, and suddenly became excited.

Zong Ci glanced at him, and said telepathically: 【Hold your breath, pour your spiritual power into the young girl's forehead. 】

Shen Xi didn't dare to disobey her team leader's orders.

According to Zong Ci's instructions, he transported the spiritual power out and slowly entered the young girl's forehead...
