Chapter 1596 Association
It smells hot and fishy, and the residual heat from the explosion is still very high.
Just by looking at this scene, he knew that the battle just now could not be described as fierce, it was tragic.
He had long expected that the battle between the two demon puppet masters would be extremely dangerous.
Just now, he heard the conversation between Dong Rui and Cao Wendao through the Eye Spider, including Dong Rui's two screams, as if he had been tricked.
In front of Qingyang, He Lingchuan had no choice. This was Dong Rui's own choice.
Everyone subconsciously looked at Qingyang. Qingyang was the oldest and most experienced person present.
But Qingyang also shook his head: "Never seen it."
She didn't lie. Although Cao Wendao contacted her occasionally, he never reported to her how many demon puppets he had or what types they were.
But this bighead fish that appeared out of nowhere should belong to Cao Wendao no matter how you look at it.
All of Lao Cao’s fish were killed, how could he be okay?
Qingyang felt heavy in his heart.
It seems that she only stopped He Xiao, but failed to stop other evil spirits.
Everyone searched around again, but couldn't find Cao Wendao. Instead, they found more and more strange corpses, like... like deformed monsters.
This is a hell of a battlefield, with corpses and blood everywhere. Everyone standing here feels that the evening breeze is filled with the smell of blood.
Why did the monsters die here? Did they fight each other?
Zhao Song whispered to He Lingchuan: "Island Master He, look at this?"
He Xiao had previously said that there were assassins near Yongquan Villa, but Zhao Song had never expected to encounter such a large-scale situation!
"I don't understand either." He Lingchuan shook his head blankly, "There are so many dead monsters, but there are no human corpses."
He whispered again, "We have captured two people alive, Brother Zhao, do you want to go back and interrogate them?"
Zhao Song nodded.
Qingyang was not far away and heard their conversation completely, so he looked at the two unconscious prisoners.
Zhao Song immediately sent people to collect clues so that he could report to the king after dawn.
This took more than two quarters of an hour.
During this period, Qingyang also personally inspected the scene.
The traces of fighting here are shocking. One of the parties involved in the war must have Cao Wendao’s demon puppet.
So, who is his opponent?
He Xiao's words just now reminded her that there was no human corpse here, except for Cao Wenda's two disciples.
Did the enemy who suddenly attacked him pick up his fallen teammates, or was it that the person who attacked him was not a human at all?
Following this line of thought, looking at the wounds of the demon puppets at the scene, they did not seem to be caused by weapons such as swords, spears, swords, and halberds. There were even two demon puppets with thick skin and flesh whose tendons and bones were broken, indicating that they died from blunt blows from heavy weapons.
Thinking of this, Qingyang subconsciously looked back at He Lingchuan. Cao Wendao was sure that this man had a demon puppet master around him, and he had mentioned Wei Yishan several times.
Based on her understanding of Cao Wenda, this guy is probably more interested in Wei Yishan than He Xiao.
He Xiao was indeed held back by her, but he had accomplices in secret, right?
So, did Cao Wendao have a big fight with Wei Yishan?
He Lingchuan noticed her inquiring eyes: "Master Regent, what did you find?"
"Nothing." Qingyang looked down at the giant fish in the soil, "I just feel that things in the world are unpredictable, and fate is really wonderful."
At this time, Zhao Song also came over: "The scene investigation is complete, and there is no clue of a living person."
He Lingchuan was still pondering Qingyang's words. Hearing this, he nodded and said, "Then I'll go back to the villa first."
"Get some rest when you get back. After daybreak, the government might send someone to your house to question you and take your statement."
He Lingchuan smiled: "Okay, I should."
Zhao Song was so easy to talk to because the target was He Lingchuan. If someone else encountered these things, they would have to rush to the government to make a statement and would not be released without tossing around for an hour or two.
"It looks like the assassin has escaped again." He Lingchuan sighed and turned to Qingyang and said, "Master Regent, are we going to say goodbye now?"
Qingyang had no reason to stop him: "Okay, see you in a few days."
It would be better not to see him. He Lingchuan waved his hand and everyone followed him and went home.
As for the carriage and corpses by the stream, there were people left behind to clean them up and report to the police.
Qingyang also led the crowd away.
Before sinking into the darkness, He Lingchuan looked back at her figure, as if thinking about something.
……
Back at Yongquan Villa, the refugees' attack on the villa had basically come to an end. Several leaders were captured, and the others were beaten and thrown out.
The people in the villa were busy packing up their belongings and registering the losses. He Lingchuan had already requested that after daybreak, the cooks had to cook as usual, the servants had to clean as usual, and the guards had to patrol as usual.
Everything should be normal.
But then something unexpected happened:
The two captives Zhao Song brought back from Taoxi were dead.
The two men fell into a coma and died. The palace guards who were guarding them had no idea when they died.
They already had many wounds on their bodies, who knew which new one had been added?
He Lingchuan looked heavy-hearted: "It's a pity that he is no longer alive."
But he knew in his heart that this was 90% Qingyang's work, and it was done by Taoxi. Wouldn't it be easy for her to kill these two people without anyone noticing? Looking at Zhao Song's expression, he seemed to think so too.
The two eyewitnesses were silenced, and no one knew what happened by the creek, and of course Cao Wenda was not implicated.
But Qingyang didn't know that Cao Wendao's second disciple Yang Chi had already been captured.
Zhao Song immediately requested to interrogate the prisoner Yang Chi.
Guard Yang Shan did not beat him or abuse him. He gave him food and water and locked him up in a small dark room alone.
On the way back to the villa, He Lingchuan briefly explained the outline, so Zhao Song's first question was:
"The one who wants to take Island Master He's life is your master?"
Yang Chi has now been disciplined and obedient: "Yes."
"What is your name?"
"Cao Wen said."
"What does he usually do?"
"Demon Puppet Master."
Zhao Song didn't understand: "Demon Puppet Master? What is a demon puppet?"
The Demon Puppet Master is an unpopular and rare profession that most people have never heard of.
After Yang Chi explained, Zhao Song was moved: "The monster corpses lying around by the Taoxi River are the monster puppets?"
Now it was Yang Chi's turn to be surprised: "What?"
Are those strange-looking monsters the transformed monster puppets? Zhao Song immediately had some associations: "Wait, there were two strange monsters in Xiaotao Villa, one with a tiger body and a truncated tail, and the other was a wild boar with spikes all over its body. Do you know where they came from?"
The death of General Xue caused a sensation in the government and the country. He had heard about the details.
Yang Chi hesitated: "Yes, it was modified by my master."
Zhao Song's face was solemn. This was a major breakthrough in the General Xue case!
But Yang Chi immediately said: "But they were taken away by the Black Armor Army in Green Villa. We don't know why they appeared in Xiaotao Villa. My master is here to investigate this matter as well."
