At this time, Shimen Town was under martial law. A large number of patrol soldiers wearing blue armor and people from the Military City Department surrounded the whole place, especially the Shi Family. Not even a fly could fly in.

Zhongzhou City is a large city in Liufeng. It covers a very vast area. It is thirty miles outside the city and is still in the suburbs.

Shimen Town is very prosperous because of this, and because one of the seven small aristocratic families is located here, a large number of yuan masters have gathered here, which is comparable to a small city.

It is made of huge blue stones, ten feet tall and very majestic.

But in such a prosperous city, the owner of the Shi family was wiped out without a trace. This made the people of Shimen Town very scared, thinking that there was an invasion of evil spirits. Fortunately, the Patrol Army and the Military City Division were behind.

People arrived to control the place and stabilize people's hearts.

However, there is still panic in Shimen Town, and many people want to escape here and seek refuge in the safer Zhongzhou City.

"Roar!"

The carriage of the Qingyun Flying Tiger drove quickly and soon arrived in front of Shimen Town. The mighty Qingyun Flying Tiger immediately attracted the attention of the soldiers guarding the city gate.

"It's the military leader!"

"This is... the inspector's carriage from the inspection platform. Inspector Lin has also arrived!"

With the sound of horse hooves, the cavalry opened the city gate. They did not dare to neglect and hurriedly came out to greet them. The leader was none other than Zhao Jie, the captain of the Patrol Army, and the other was the deputy general of the Military City Department, who came with his soldiers.

"My subordinates have seen the inspector, military commander!"

Captain Zhao Jie and his lieutenants came to the side of Zhou Fang and Qinghu's carriage and bowed in salute.

Lin Ran opened the curtain, looked at Zhao Jie and said in a deep voice: "Captain Zhao, is General Shen Qian in Shimen Town?"

Privately, Lin Ran and Zhao Jie are very good friends, but now it is a routine matter, so they cannot talk to each other casually as usual.

"The general is at the Shi's house. Sir, please come inside!" Zhao Jie replied, extending his hand to invite Lin Ran and Zhou Fang to enter Shimen Town.

As soon as I walked into Shimen Town, an atmosphere of tension and fear rushed over me. Pedestrians passing by were walking in a hurry, doors were closed, and few people were walking on the streets.

The green tiger exotic beast carriage was tightly protected by the soldiers in the middle. The military leader Zhou Fang rode an exotic beast war horse in front of him with great momentum, followed closely by several lieutenants behind him. As for Zhao Ji, he was guarding beside the green tiger carriage.

Through the curtain, Lin Ran frowned and looked at this prosperous city, which was now in ruins.

"Sir, it seems that the Shi family's annihilation is indeed unusual. This Shimen Town will probably be abandoned in less than two years." Lei Heng followed on a horse and saw Lin Ran lifting the curtain and said in a low voice.

Lin Ran nodded slightly: "We only need to investigate the matter of the Shi family's annihilation. As for Shimen Town, this is something that the Gongcao Division should worry about."

"Hehe, what my lord said is that your subordinates can just charge, and you can keep it under your command and let the monsters and monsters behead you!" Lei Heng scratched his head and smiled honestly.

Zhao Jie, who was standing next to him, heard what the two people were talking about. His heart moved and he asked in a low voice: "According to the inspector, are there really demonic cultivators and evil cultivators causing trouble?" When it comes to demonic cultivators and evil cultivators, everything must be bones.

Tired, Zhao Jie was frightened.

Lin Ran pondered for a moment and said, "We can't confirm it yet. This time, Commander Zhou and I came here just to find out the truth about the Shi family's extermination. Let's talk about it when we get to the Shi family."

Deng Deng Deng~~~

Soon, the group of people arrived at the central gate of Shijia Mansion from the gate of Shimen Town.

Although the Shi family is not one of the four major aristocratic families in Zhongzhou with such huge strength and power, it is still one of the top seven aristocratic families among many small aristocratic families, and its status is unparalleled in this Shimen Town.

The Shi family is located in the center of Shimen Town, covering an area of ​​several hundred acres. The gate of the house is extremely spacious. The door is made of flat stone slabs. The two stone lions with teeth and claws are covered with blood at this time. After a few days, the blood stains have already It dried up and turned into a dark red color, making the eyes of these two huge stone lions red, like monsters.

Three days ago, these two stone lions who suppressed Feng Shui witnessed a bloody massacre, and everyone in the Shi family was killed!

Zhennan General Shen Qian had already received the news and welcomed Lin Ran and Zhou Fang in.

Quack!——

As soon as you walked in, a flock of crows flew out from the huge mansion, and their black wings fell down on you. The atmosphere was very strange and eerie.

hiss!

Everyone took a breath and felt their scalps numb.

Lin Ran's expression remained unchanged. These crows were probably just attracted by the corpses of the Shi family. Crows ate carrion and more than a thousand people died. The corpse aura here was extremely strong and would definitely attract crows, wild cats and other monsters. Come.

After all, Shen Qian and Zhou Fang were masters of the Divine Sea Realm and had a military career. They were not surprised by this and led the people all the way to the depths of the Shi family.

Soldiers from the Patrol Army and the Military City Division were guarding the entire route, and the place was completely surrounded, completely protecting the scene. Therefore, dried blood stains were everywhere and were not cleaned up.

Walking deeper, this is where the corpses of the Shi family are placed.

More than a thousand corpses were all covered with white cloth. It was extremely shocking and made Lin Ran feel a little hairy.

"Sir, please look!"

The deputy general in armor took two steps forward and used the long sword in his hand to lift a piece of white cloth, revealing a terrifying mummy. This man vaguely looked like a young man, and he was wearing the clothes of a guard. At this time He was already dead, with no trace of blood in his body and looked very shriveled.

On his head, his facial features were sunken, his eyeballs were bloodshot, and his expression was filled with endless terror. It was obvious that he had experienced something very scary before his death.

The people present were either hard-blooded soldiers of the army or butchers who guarded the inspection platform. They had to face the dead all year round, so they were not afraid and gathered around one by one to take a closer look.

Lin Ran's eyes flashed with silver stars as he glanced at the mummy guard and frowned slightly.

"This person is the head of the Shi family, Shi Zhong. He was found in the study of the head of the family. The wooden tables and chairs in the study were messy and damaged in many places. It was obvious that he went through a fight before he died and was finally killed. ."

Shen Qian led everyone to the corpse at the front and lifted off the white cloth.

Shi Zhong was a man with a majestic build and a rough face. Like the guard, his whole body was drained of blood, his head was shriveled, and he had a look of horror on his face.

"So, everyone in the Shi family was killed artificially?" Zhou Fang said.

Shen Qian nodded: "The Shijia is located in the most prosperous center of Shimen Town. If it was attacked by a monster, the city gate should be broken first. But that night, except for the Shijia, other places were not damaged. Secondly, , such a big movement, people in Shimen Town didn't notice it. Obviously, someone set up a formation to isolate the sound. Finally, the traces of the killing in the study of the head of the family, Shi Zhong, were definitely caused by the fighting between Yuan masters. ."

Everyone nodded. As General Zhennan, Shen Qian obviously had some real talents.

"So, is it possible that it was a vendetta?" Lin Ran asked.

Zhou Fang pondered for a moment, shook his head and said: "If it is a vendetta, and the opponent has such strong strength, he can kill them openly. There is no need to be so sneaky and kill everyone."

Lin Ran nodded. A normal person's revenge would naturally be based on gratification. The other party was able to wipe out a family like the Shi Family in one night without sparing anyone. It was obvious that he was extremely powerful.

"It's basically certain that demon cultivators and evil cultivators are causing trouble. I hope it's not those sects, otherwise, it will cause another turmoil!" Shen Qian sighed with worry on his brows.

Everyone present was shocked, and the atmosphere suddenly became heavy.

"The most important thing now is to find the murderer. Do you two have any good ideas?" Lin Ran asked.

"this……"

Shen Qian and Zhou Fang stroked their beards and pondered. For a moment, they had a feeling that they had no way to deal with this case of annihilation that had no beginning and no end. The other party's methods were clean and neat, and they set up formations around them without leaving any traces. , it is really difficult to handle.

"I have an idea here, I don't know if it works." Lin Ran looked at the way several people shook their heads and sighed, and suddenly smiled.

"Oh? Please follow the instructions clearly!"

Shen Qian's eyes lit up, he raised his hands and said.

Lin Ran had a smile on his face, rolled his eyes twice, and said with a smile: "Although there are no clues, we can create clues. So, so, so, so, what do you think?"

The people present were all tycoons and senior officials from the Inspectorate, the Patrol Army, and the Military City Department. After thinking about it carefully, their eyes immediately lit up, and they felt that this method was incomparable.

"What a plan!" Zhou Fang laughed loudly and complimented him.

Shen Qian also showed a smile, nodded and said: "This method is indeed clever. In my opinion, just follow this method. Within a few days, you will definitely gain something!"

Everyone agreed, so the soldiers who tightly surrounded the Shi family began to move, looking through the entire Shi family, as if they were looking for something.

"found it!"

Not long after, a loud shout suddenly came from inside. The sound was so loud that it passed through the tall walls of Shi's house and spread to the streets outside. Many people heard this.
