Chapter 137 Tushan Blood Case
"Sister Rongrong!"
Ximen Tianyu staggered to the city wall with his not-so-proficient flying skills. Before he could speak, he found that Tushan Yaya and Cui Yuling were also there.
Unlike usual, the atmosphere between the three of them seemed very heavy. Even Tushan Yaya, who was usually the most lively, remained silent at this moment. Even Ximen Tianyu could sense the chill emanating from her body from a distance.
Ximen Tianyu, sensing that the atmosphere was not right, restrained his expression and silently walked to the three people. Only then did he discover the corpses of several fox demons lying in the middle.
These fox demons were half-naked and their bodies were covered with scars. It was obvious that they had suffered inhuman torture before their death.
Ximen Tianyu's heart suddenly tightened. He realized that this was not just an ordinary conflict, but a major event concerning the safety of Tushan.
Ximen Tianyu stretched out his hand and looked at the bodies lying on the ground with his palm. Then, a scene vaguely appeared in front of his eyes.
It was a vague and tragic memory. In the scene, a group of men in black, holding sharp blades, ruthlessly attacked the Tushan procurement team. These men in black acted quickly and cooperated well. They were obviously well-trained. Not only were they powerful, but they also seemed to know Tushan's layout very well. Although the purchasing fox demons fought hard, they were unable to escape due to the absolute difference in strength and numbers.
Ximen Tianyu frowned. He could feel the despair and anger coming from the picture.
This emotion seemed to affect him, making his already pale face even uglier. He took a deep breath, trying to calm his inner fluctuations, and then turned to look at Tushan Rongrong, Tushan Yaya and Cui Yuling.
"Sister Rongrong, what... is going on?"
Ximen Tianyu asked with a slightly trembling voice.
Tushan Rongrong hesitated for a long time, sighed heavily, and said, "These are our sisters from Tushan who went out to purchase goods. They were attacked on their way back, and it was the patrol team who finally found their bodies in the jungle and brought them back."
"Who did it?"
Ximen Tianyu clenched his fists, his nails digging deeply into his palms, but he seemed not to feel the pain and seemed still immersed in the emotion just now.
"It's a human Taoist priest." Tushan Yaya said coldly, "We in Tushan have always upheld peace between humans and demons and have never killed anyone. I never thought they would do such a thing!"
Her voice was filled with anger and sorrow that was difficult to conceal. Her eyes, which usually sparkled with a bright light, were now like ice, revealing her deep disappointment in the evil side of human nature.
"Ya'er! The murderer has not been identified yet. We only found a few consumable magic weapons used by humans at the scene. We can't jump to conclusions so easily."
Cui Yuling on the side seemed to notice the subtle change in Tushan Yaya's mentality, and hurriedly reminded her, with a hint of imperceptible worry in her words.
"But, sister, this is not the first time!" Tushan Yaya was a little excited. She took a step forward and stared at Cui Yuling with a sharp gaze. "In recent years, our Tushan border has been frequently invaded. Although most of them were minor incidents, this time, they actually killed our people directly! Doesn't this explain the problem?"
Seeing Tushan Yaya almost losing control, Ximen Tianyu was suddenly stunned. Perhaps because of the heart mirror, he could clearly feel the grief in Tushan Yaya's heart that seemed to devour everything.
She at this moment is so similar to herself when she first arrived in Tushan. She also has expectations for peace between humans and demons, but she is also hurt because of it.
Ximen Tianyu's heart tightened. He knew that this kind of pain and anger could not be soothed by simple words of comfort. Unless the murderers behind this incident were brought to justice, otherwise, this heavy haze would shroud her heart for a long time. "Can you show me those magic weapons?"
After thinking this through, Ximen Tianyu wanted to try whether he could use the mind mirror to find out the murderer, so he took the initiative to speak.
Tushan Rongrong on the opposite side nodded slightly upon hearing this, and then summoned a fox demon guard. He was dragging a plate in his hand, on which were placed three invalid disposable magic weapons.
Ximen Tianyu was still the same as before, raising his hand slightly, wanting to check the information left in these fragments.
"its not right!"
After closing his eyes and thinking for a moment, Ximen Tianyu suddenly spoke.
"Little cockroach, what did you find?"
Seeing that Ximen Tianyu seemed to have gained something, Tushan Yaya pulled him over and asked anxiously.
As for the nickname "Little Cockroach", it was given to Ximen Tianyu when Tushan Yayala invited him to play. Although Ximen Tianyu didn't know the meaning of this nickname, he didn't like the cockroach species and protested against it.
But the domineering Tushan Yaya directly rejected his protest and continued to shout as she pleased.
"There is no remaining magic power in these magic weapons, which means they have been damaged for more than a week. Judging from the bodies of these sisters, they were killed no more than half a day ago."
"The mismatch in timing makes me suspect that these magic weapons were not used directly in this attack, but were deliberately left at the scene to confuse us."
Ximen Tianyu showed a calmness far beyond his age, and his words were recognized by Tushan Rongrong and Cui Yuling. Although Tushan Yaya still had an angry look on her face, the frost in her eyes had subsided a little.
"You mean, someone is framing others?"
Tushan Rongrong took over the conversation with a hint of solemnity in her tone.
Ximen Tianyu nodded and continued, "It's very likely. Moreover, judging from the styles of the magic weapons, they are not from the same batch or the same manufacturer, which increases my speculation. In addition, if it was really done by human Taoist priests, they are unlikely to leave such obvious clues, unless..."
"Unless what?"
Tushan Yaya couldn't help but ask.
"Unless they want to deliberately stir up conflict between the human and demon races!" Ximen Tianyu's eyes flashed with a light that saw through everything. "We need to investigate this matter more carefully and not be easily fooled by superficial clues."
Tushan Rongrong heard this and gently touched Ximen Tianyu's head to show encouragement: "Tianyu, your analysis makes sense. We really need to investigate this matter more deeply, find the real murderer, and avenge our dead sisters."
