Beiyin Great Sage

early morning.

The breeze blew the wind chimes, and the crisp sound lingered around my ears.

Zhou Jia was lying on the hardwood bed in his clothes, with an ax and shield beside him. His eyes were open, but he had no intention of getting up.

He was used to relaxing his mind at this time and was happy to enjoy the quietness brought by the inner city.

Until a smell of meat comes.

"Brother Zhou."

A thin voice sounded:

"You haven't eaten yet? My sister asked me to bring you a bowl of broth."

Zhou Jia stood up and looked at the girl named Jiao Yuanfeng standing at the end of the bed holding a bowl.

The other person should be in high school on Earth at this age, struggling with how to vent his youthful passion, but here he has learned to adapt to the environment.

Use your own weakness to exchange for the sympathy of others, although sometimes it may not be easy to use.

"Need not."

Shaking his head, Zhou Jia looked at the figure outside the house:

"I can just buy it myself."

"It's okay." Jiao Yuanyi walked in and said with a smile:

"I don't know how long we will have to trouble Brother Zhou. A bowl of broth is nothing, but we will leave as soon as possible."

"Yeah, yeah." Jiao Yuanfeng nodded repeatedly:

"We have many friends in the Baron. They may also be in Huojiapu. Once we find them, we will leave."

As he spoke, he said with a pair of big eyes and an innocent face:

"They are very powerful, and there are even seventh-grade masters."

"Really?" Zhou Jia seemed to have not heard the warning hidden in the other party's words, nodded and took the broth:

"Thank you very much."

The broth is delicious and the meat is very real. Unfortunately, this kind of meat does not increase the source of strength, so the price is naturally not expensive.

After finishing the soup, just as he was about to return the bowl, a burst of noise came from outside.

"Everyone come out!"

"Everyone who came yesterday, come out!"

"Crash..."

"What happened?"

Several people walked out of the tree house and came to Qingfengju Square, where they saw a group of Huo Mansion Patrol Team members counting the identities of the residents one by one.

"Zhou Jia?"

"right."

"You three, come over."

The three people were pushed into a small group of people. Although they didn't know what happened, everyone's faces showed panic.

"Sir." Zhou Jia approached a man who looked like the leader of the patrol and quietly handed over an Origin Stone:

"What are you doing?"

"Well..." The other party took the Origin Stone skillfully, glanced at him, and said calmly:

"Yesterday the shopkeeper's son was killed, and there were two inner-city residents. You guys are all suspects and need to be investigated."

"No." One person in the crowd said angrily:

"We stayed at the inn yesterday and didn't go anywhere!"

"Yes, yes, sir, this matter has nothing to do with us at all!"

"..."

"Shut up!" The patrol leader's face darkened and he shouted loudly:

"Whether it matters or not, it's up to you?"

"Brother Ren!" The shopkeeper also came over at this time. His face was sallow, his eyes were bloodshot, and there were a few strands of white hair on his head.

He glared at everyone, gritted his teeth and said:

"This group of people all had a conflict with Xiao'er yesterday, and the murderer... must be among them!"

"Old Xue, cheer up." Leader Ren frowned and lowered his voice:

"Dongcheng and the three of them, one was a sixth-grade and two were a fifth-grade. They had no resistance when they were killed. The killer was most likely a seventh-grade."

"The people here..."

"Unlikely the murderer."

A seventh-grade master is a high-ranking figure everywhere. It is impossible to stay in an inn at this time, and there is also a dispute with someone because of Gasai.

"How is it impossible!" Shopkeeper Xue's eyes widened and he pointed his finger at Zhou Jia:

"If one person can't do it, two people can do it."

"This man used an ax, and my son died under a heavy weapon. That man used a sword. Couldn't it be the two of them who did it together?"

Zhou Jia's eyes changed slightly.

Another person shouted loudly:

"Shopkeeper, I was at your inn yesterday, and this brother and I don't know each other at all. How could we join forces to kill someone?"

"Old Xue." Leader Ren pressed Shopkeeper Xue's shoulder, shook his head and said:

"I know Dongcheng's death has hit you hard, but..."

"Now is not the time to let you and I do whatever we want. I came here to give you face. I just want to get the source stone."

"Brother Ren." Shopkeeper Xue said anxiously:

"you do not believe me?"

"Do you think I should believe it?" Seeing that his old friend was stubborn, Leader Ren began to look unhappy and pointed at the crowd:

"you!"

"What were you doing when the sun was about to set yesterday?"

The person he was referring to happened to be Zhou Jia.

"I..." Zhou Jia was stunned and said:

"I went out to have a meal."

"Eat?" Leader Ren frowned:

"Who can testify?"

"this……"

"I, we can testify." In the crowd, Jiao Yuanyi pulled her sister and whispered:

"We had dinner with Brother Zhou yesterday."

Um?

Zhou Jia's eyes were surprised and he looked at the other party subconsciously.

Jiao Yuanyi smiled back. Since they would inevitably have to live together in the future, she didn't mind showing her kindness to the other party.

As for the other party really being a murderer, she really hadn't thought about it.

After all, Zhou Jia's behavior in front of the waiter yesterday was far from being called brave. How could such a person kill several people?

In order to strengthen her persuasion, she even said:

"We just came yesterday, there is no need to speak for him."

"Yeah." Leader Ren just asked casually, without any doubt, and pointed to another person:

"What did you do yesterday?"

"I went to the South Street Flower Shop with some friends..."

"you!"

"I, I'm resting in the house."

"That means no one can testify, come out!"

Not long after, except for a few unlucky tenants who had no witnesses, the others were separated by the patrol team, and the leader waved:

"Take away anyone with any questions and go back and review them slowly."

Then he looked at Shopkeeper Xue:

"Lao Xue, is this enough to give you face?"

Shopkeeper Xue looked gloomy and remained silent.

After the patrol team forced everyone to leave, the residents in the inn began to disperse, and inevitably some of them complained and complained.

As for the people who were taken away, their lives are estimated to be fine, but massive bleeding of Origin Stone is definitely inevitable.

Huojiabao patrols the Yamen, but he is a famous gold-eating beast.

…………

"Master."

Xue family.

The charming second lady brought a cup of hot tea and carefully placed it next to Shopkeeper Xue, who had red eyes and messy hair:

"Dongcheng has gone. You should also pay attention to your health. If Dongcheng knew that you tortured yourself like this, he would definitely feel uncomfortable."

"Get some rest."

"Crack!"

Shopkeeper Xue waved his hand and smashed the dish cup to the ground, shouting:

"What do you know?"

"I only have one son, and Dongcheng was killed. The murderer has not been found. How can you let me rest in peace?"

"ah!"

Furious, he pushed the second lady down and walked to the backyard alone.

The sky is getting darker and darker.

Shopkeeper Xue's eyes looked ferocious under the light, and he suddenly took out a set of night clothes from the house, took out the cloud-head knife, opened the door and walked out.

He was sure that the murderer was in the inn.

In the past few days, just when Dongcheng and the others were planning to make a profit, they happened to be killed by someone, all three of them together. How could such a coincidence happen in the world?

Since Ren doesn't want to help, I'll do it myself!

Avoiding the people in the courtyard, Shopkeeper Xue quietly climbed over the courtyard wall. As soon as he landed, he met a man also dressed in black.

The man held an ax in one hand and a shield in the other. Depending on the situation, he wanted to touch his own home.

The two looked at each other, both stunned.
