Great Xuanwu Sheng

Chapter 44 Investigation

 “Sir, what’s wrong?”

When Liu Song and others saw Chen Mu coming out of the courtyard, their expressions became extremely solemn, and they all came closer.

Chen Mu didn't say much, just shook his head, led everyone back to the City Guards Department, and at the same time asked people to look for Min Baoyi.

Just right.

Min Baoyi did not drink with anyone today. He was listening to music in a teahouse on the back street. When he learned that Chen Mu wanted to see him for something, he smiled, threw some coins on the table, and followed the messenger back to the city. Wei Si.

As soon as he arrived at the City Guards Department, he saw Chen Mu waiting for him at the door with a solemn look on his face. So he was slightly startled and realized that there might be something serious. He nodded slightly to Chen Mu and took Chen Mu in without asking directly at the door. Went to the government office.

soon.

Arrived at the innermost part of the city guard's office, and after retreating to the left and right, Min Baoyi asked Chen Mu:

"What happened."

"Is such that…"

Chen Mu quickly made a series of investigations and reported various situations.

After hearing this, Min Baoyi's face became solemn: "The God of Dharma Protector..."

In fact, whether it is a disappearance case or the infestation of gray-skinned rats, he knows everything clearly. After all, his spies are everywhere in Kujo. However, hundreds of people have disappeared in a few months. In his opinion, it is not a big deal at all. , and ignored it. As for the gray-skinned mouse, he didn’t care much.

 But now, another piece of information has been obtained from Chen Mu. The gray-skinned mouse and the disappearance case are very likely to be related to the Black Crow Cult, which gives people a vague feeling of ominousness.

 After a brief pause.

Min Baoyi stood up and said in a deep voice: "This matter is indeed extraordinary. I have to report it to Mr. Xu first. You stay in the City Guards Department and wait for news."

 Speaking, he hurried out.

There are various clues involving the Black Crow Sect, which is not something that he, Chaosi, can decide alone. After all, the power of the Black Crow Sect itself involves many "li", and it is not a local gang in Kutiao. If you just mobilize some people, It's okay to investigate the Black Crow Sect, but if a large-scale operation is to be carried out, it must be reported to the top.

As soon as Min Baoyi left, Chen Mu was left alone to sit quietly in the hall, but his eyes were rather fierce. He could ignore ordinary things, but if the Black Crow Sect really had any crazy ideas, they must be killed. In the cradle, after all, just envisioning any number of events is quite terrifying. Once it happens, it may turn the entire outer city into a living hell.

 Wait for half a day.

Min Baoyi finally returned to the City Guards Department.

The news brought to Chen Mu is that Xu Hongyu attaches great importance to this matter, but tells Jiutiao Li not to make any big moves for the time being, and just keep an eye on the Black Crow Sect secretly. She will send some more people to investigate the matter in detail.

 After receiving this instruction, Chen Mu also breathed a sigh of relief. What he was most worried about was that Xu Hongyu didn't care about this matter and ignored it. After all, people in this world may not respond as strongly to some disasters as he did.

Although Xu Hongyu did not immediately order the Jiutiaoli City Guards to take action, but first sent personnel to investigate, as long as there is attention to this matter, it will not be left to chance.

 This incident is no longer a simple incident of Zhang Youying’s disappearance.

 Chen Mu also paid much more attention than usual.

“Don’t worry, the Black Crow Cult can’t change anything.”

Seeing that Chen Mu still had a solemn expression, Min Baoyi smiled and patted Chen Mu on the shoulder: "And your distant cousin, I also asked my people to check it for you. As long as it is in the realm of Jiutiao, there is no Might disappear into thin air.”

Hearing this, Chen Mu raised his hands to Min Baoyi to thank him, but Min Baoyi waved his hands indifferently and said: "Why do you need to thank me? When you are free, just treat me to a drink."

Seeing that it was getting late, Min Baoyi got up, talked with Chen Mu for a while, and left the City Guard Department together.

 Chen Mu returned home quickly.

Chen Hong was still waiting at his home. When she saw him coming back, she quickly stepped forward to ask for news.

It was naturally not suitable to talk too much about the Black Crow Sect, so Chen Mu only said that he had some clues and had already asked someone to investigate. At the moment, he could only wait for the news. After comforting Chen Hong, he sent her back.

 …

That night. Darkness shrouded the sky, and the moon was dim.

The Black Crow Cult's residence was pitch dark and dim, with no candles visible. Everyone seemed to have fallen asleep.

A dark shadow appeared quietly on the outside of that group of buildings. It was almost invisible under the night. The figure moved quickly, coming and going calmly on the eaves and corners, inspecting every building in this area.

"strangeness."

Chen Mu stopped on the eaves of a roof and looked at the pitch-black Black Crow Cult station, a trace of doubt flashing in his eyes.

For him now, he has a lot of strength, and the person he trusts the most is naturally himself. After nightfall, he quietly went to the Black Crow Sect's station to investigate, but after walking around, he didn't see any abnormal signs.

It's not that he doesn't trust Xu Hongyu's actions, but the Black Crow Sect itself has territory in several "li" and is relatively involved. It's not clear which area Xu Hongyu is checking, so he might as well investigate it secretly.

The entire area was dark, and it seemed that everyone had already gone to bed. Compared to the gangs that operated at night, the Black Crow Sect didn't even have sentries, and it seemed like it was really just an ordinary sect that prayed during the day. .

 Chen Mu is now so sharp that he can hear the slightest movement. Lying on the corner of the eaves, he can almost hear the breathing of someone sleeping in the room below.

 After a brief reflection.

 Chen Mu dodged a few times and found a relatively remote room. He opened the window with a slight force of his hand and climbed directly into the house. There was only one bed in the house, and a member of the Black Crow Sect was sleeping.

Chen Mu grabbed the other person's throat and woke him up from his dream, but he couldn't make any sound.

Then he did not ask, but directly carried the person, climbed out of the window again, and quickly left the Black Crow Sect's station. It was not until he reached a remote alley that he dropped the person and said coldly: "I asked You answer, or you die."

The members of the Black Crow Sect were already so frightened that they were sweating coldly and their faces were pale. They were carried back and forth between the eaves by Chen Mu just now. They knew that the person in front of them was at least a martial artist who had reached the level of meat training. The Black Crow Sect is at least a leader of incense, or even a deputy leader. It is not something he can resist at all.

"Yes Yes…"

 He answered in a low voice with a trembling voice.

Chen Mu asked in a deep voice: "Where have all the people you arrested gone?"

 “What...who arrested you?”

The church members responded tremblingly, with confusion on their faces.

 Chen Mu frowned. Seeing that he was not pretending to be stupid, he continued to ask: "What do you want to do with so many gray-skinned mice?"

 “Grey-skinned mouse?”

The congregant was even more puzzled. He looked at a loss and said with a trembling voice: "We have seen many gray-skinned mice these days. Wang Liu next door even killed and ate one."

After hearing this, Chen Mu calmed down and continued to ask: "I heard that your Black Crow Sect, in addition to the Black Crow God, what kind of protector **** does it worship?"

Once they heard Chen Mu's words, the church members were even more confused, as if they were in a fog and had no idea about the existence of the Dharma Protector.

 Sure enough, the ordinary church members didn’t know anything about it.

 Chen Mu looked at his reaction and was not too surprised. It was impossible for Yin Hong to make up a protector god. After all, it was meaningless. Since such information could be revealed, it must be true.

And now the ordinary members of the Black Crow Sect don't know anything about it, which shows that matters involving the so-called Dharma Protector belong to a relatively secretive level within the Black Crow Sect, which makes it even more problematic.

 “This, this uncle, I...uh.”

The congregant looked at Chen Mu tremblingly, but when he was halfway through his words, he stopped abruptly and his throat was crushed.

Chen Mu stretched out his hand and threw it away indifferently.

Another unknown body was found in the ditch.

Once upon a time, he was responsible for disposing of such corpses every day, but now he has become the maker of unknown corpses, but he does not know who will clean up and dispose of them tomorrow morning.
