Chapter 269 Maid Zhiyue!(1/2)
The leader Murong is dead.
This rudder leader, who is the strongest among the four major rudders, died before he could meet.
Chen Mu didn't know how to express his feelings at this moment.
"The body is fresh, there is still warmth, the muscles remain loose, and no corpse spots or corpse zombies appear..." Chen Mu briefly checked the corpse and said lightly. "It should have died within half an hour."
Half an hour...
From the time they met the headless bride to the time they came back, the Murong helm leader was assassinated during this period.
But with the cultivation strength of Murong's ruling leader, how many people can kill him quietly?
Moreover, judging from the situation when Murong's rudder died, there was no fierce fight, and it was like sitting on a chair and someone took his head off.
Too strange.
It's stranger than the headless bride.
Is it poisoned?
Chen Mu frowned his eyebrows and looked at the corpse.
Murong Ping fainted after screaming and was taken to the room.
The poor little girl, she had just rescued her lover and had not had time to be happy, but her father died for no reason.
Life is so happy and sad.
The Lord Gaotan looked ashen and came to the yard to stare at the guards who were kneeling on the ground with a confused look on their faces and interrogate them.
Of course, those guards were puzzled.
According to the interrogation, they did not hear any abnormal sounds.
As early as an hour ago, Murong Lord returned to the yard. Everything seemed normal, but he died inexplicably.
"You check the body to see if there is any poisoning."
Chen Mu said to Hongzhuer.
After all, this woman is a master of poison use, and she may be able to see one or two.
Hongzhu'er did not refuse, so she came to the corpse and took out a light green spider and placed it on the neck of the corpse.
The little green spider crawled in along the flesh and blood.
Chen Muze came to the table and stared at the head wrapped in red cloth to check.
The scene from the riverside appeared in his mind again.
At that time, the bride, with the help of the matchmaker, walked to the bamboo steak normally and then knelt on it.
Then a gust of wind blew away her head and red veil.
Logically speaking, it was impossible to blow the head away with the wind at that time, let alone the head growing on the corpse.
But this is the world where demons exist.
Perhaps some monster was causing trouble, it would be reasonable to kill the bride.
But the question is, why does the head appear here?
Could it be that some monster came to Murong's ruling master's room with his head, and then killed Murong's ruling master, leaving his head behind.
What is the purpose?
And where did Murong's ruling leader go?
While thinking, Chen Mu took off the red veil and the woman's face was clearly presented.
Very beautiful.
Although it cannot reach the level of Bai Xianyu and Meng Meifu, it is also a beauty selected from a hundred.
Two curved Emei, the lips are quite beautiful under the application of rouge, and faintly, the corners of the lips seem to be bent upwards with a small curve.
At first glance, it seems like you are smiling.
Perhaps the bride was smiling happily at that time, waiting for her lover to pursue her.
But he died inexplicably.
Judging from the wound, it was like being cut by a knife.
“No poisoning.”
Hongzhuer put away the little spider and said with a firm tone.
Chen Mu looked at her: "Where is Gu?"
"No," Hongzhuer shook her head. "If it was a very clever Gu, I might not be able to find out."
Chen Mu fell into thought.
The guards did not see anyone entering the courtyard... There were no signs of fighting in the room... The leader of Murong was not poisoned...
Then how did he die?
Could it be that the murderer is a monster with extremely high strength?
For example, you can turn into a snake like Su Qiaoer and lurk in, and then cut your head with a knife as fast as possible while the other party didn't react.
But why did it bring the bride's head but Murong's ruling leader's head?
"Master Chen Tan, I have asked other servants, but I have not found anyone coming in, and the helm leader has never been out of the room."
The Lord of the Gaotan said with a gloomy face.
Chen Mu asked, "Lord Gao, do you have any clues?"
"It must be the other branches who sent people to assassinate them!"
The Lord of the Gaotan said angrily.
He looked at Chen Mu and did not hide it: "The Lord Chen Tan was unknown in the capital. Our headmaster was seriously injured because of snatching a treasure, and might even be in danger of life. According to the rules, if the headmaster dies, the next headmaster will be selected from the other four branchmasters!"
Infighting.
Chen Mu's eyes flashed slightly and he received information.
The headmaster is in danger of his life.
It seems that the senior official mentioned in the information before is the headmaster.
Master Gao Tan said: "The only one who can become the next head of the helm is the most promising person, but now the helm leader Murong is dead at the critical moment, which is enough to show that other branches are suspected of being a major suspect."
Chen Mu nodded: "The Lord Gaotan is right, but this head is like this again. At that time, we saw the bride's head being taken away, but now it appears here again. There should be an explanation. Even if other branches are assassinated, they don't need to play this trick."
The Lord of the Gaotan was speechless for a moment.
This is really too weird, he can't explain it.
“Get out of here!”
Just then, a cold shout came from outside the house.
I saw a big man breaking in.
The man looked about forty years old, with a tiger's back and a bear's waist, with a very mighty aura, with bright eyes and a face full of ashen.
Behind him was a beautiful woman in gold and silver.
There is also a personal maid next to the woman.
"Master of the Stone Hall?"
Seeing the visitor, the Lord Gaotan frowned slightly and waved his hand to let the guards go out.
This person's name is Shi Jinglei, and he is the leader of Jiazi Hall.
There are four helms, six altars and twelve halls in the Tiandihui. In addition to the head of the main, the four helms are the highest power, followed by the altar master, and then the hall master.
Although the heaven and earth will have clear hierarchies, people will have groups.
Many hall masters or hall masters will take the initiative to find a backer for the alliance, such as the high hall master, who relies on Murong's helm and becomes a member of his command.
The stone master in front of him was once attached to the Murong rudder, but later he turned to the Xifeng rudder.
"The Lord!!"
Seeing the headless corpse in front of him, the stone hall master cried out and knelt on the ground.
Because of the force of kneeling, cracks were chiseled on the floor.
The man's eyes were filled with tears, his fists were clenched, and his temples were bulging with blue veins.
The Lord Gaotan stared at him with suspicious eyes: "You are very informative. We have blocked the news of the Lord's death. How did you know."
"My husband and I happened to visit Murong's helm, but we learned the bad news..."
The beautiful woman quickly explained.
The maid beside her looked a little afraid when she saw the headless corpse, but her clear eyes looked at it quietly and carefully.
To be continued...
