After confirming that the person who found the wizard in Qingtang was not the messenger in red, but the general under his command, Dongchuan Hou was a little dumbfounded.

His original plan was to use the hunt for the Qingtang wizard to distract the red-clothed messengers' attention and waste their time and energy. It would be best if the red-clothed messengers and the Qingtang wizard could fight each other again. .

But he never thought that the person who reaped the benefits of the fisherman was not himself, but the group of red-clothed messengers.

Dongchuanhou was so angry in his heart, but he couldn't get angry in front of his subordinates, and even had to give some rewards to the soldiers who found the Qingtang wizard, in order to maintain his image of fairness in rewards and punishments.

Thinking of this, the anger in Dongchuan Hou's heart grew stronger.

He took a deep breath, suppressed the evil fire in his heart, and asked in a deep voice: "How are the brothers' casualties? Has the Qingtang wizard been caught?"

Ma Chao was very moved by Dongchuan Hou's question about the casualties, and hurriedly replied: "There are no casualties, brothers. As for the Qingtang wizard, when he was found, he was already dead."

"Dead? How did you die?"

This was another event that Dong Chuanhou had not expected.

He also thought that after the red-clothed emissary caught the Qingtang wizard, he would find an excuse to ask him to come over and keep it as a witness, so that after beating up the Qingtang side, he could demand compensation on the grounds that they were the first to break their promises. Let Qingtang pay a big price, so that he dare not easily offend his prestige.

But now, this plan, with the death of the Qingtang wizard, has also come to nothing.

And what Dongchuan Hou didn't expect was the cause of the death of the Qingtang wizard.

After Ma Chao heard the question, he quickly replied: "According to the red-clothed emissary who rushed to examine the corpse, the Qingtang wizard is suspected of committing suicide..."

suicide?

Dongchuanhou frowned, thinking it was ridiculous at first, but after thinking about it, he felt that this situation was not impossible.

He even figured out the reason why the Qingtang wizard committed suicide:

It must be that Qingtang was afraid that I would use this matter to make a fuss, so it sent a dead man over and asked him to commit suicide no matter whether he succeeded or not after the sneak attack. As long as a person is dead, there is no proof of death. Qingtang can easily say that this Qingtang wizard was sent by a tribe that refused to obey their orders, and then throw out a few heads, saying that he avenged me, so that I cannot be held accountable...

As expected of a pack of wolf cubs, they really are very calculating!

Although he already had guesses in his heart, Marquis Dongchuan didn't tell these guesses. Instead, his face darkened, and he put on a look of disbelief, and said in a cold voice:

"Suicide? Thanks to the red-clothed emissary's kindness to say it. You go and tell them, just say what I said, and let them find out the real cause of death of the Qingtang wizard and find out whether he has any remaining companions in the city. Don't take suicide." It's useless to come to Huhu for such a lame reason. If they can't find out, don't blame me for Commander Lu and use military law to teach them!"

Marquis Dongchuan is still quick-witted, this arrangement is equivalent to continuing to divert the red-clothed messenger's attention, and let the red-clothed messenger act according to his previous plan again.

It's just that this time, there is no way to drive away the wolves, and let the red-clothed emissary and the Qingtang wizard fight to the detriment of both.

But it doesn't matter, in Qingtang Acropolis, there is no shortage of Qingtang spies and black lotus demons.

As long as the red-clothed emissary conducts an investigation, he will definitely meet those people, and there is still a chance to hurt them both...

At the same time, at the house of the butcher who discovered the body of the Qingtang wizard, Qin Shaoyou, Qin Qiaoer and others were also wondering about the real cause of Qingtang wizard's death.

The corpse of the wizard in Qingtang was sitting cross-legged on the bed in the butcher's house, while the butcher and his wife were lying sideways. Although no wounds could be seen on their bodies, they were no longer breathing.

Qin Qiaoer's red-clothed emissary inspected the corpses of the butcher couple, such as rigors and plaques, and judged that they had been dead for at least two or three days.

Zhu Xiucai found out from the neighbors nearby that they hadn't seen the butcher couple in the past two or three days.

"Since I haven't seen anyone, why didn't you report to the official?" A red-clothed emissary asked with a frown.

Zhu Xiucai sighed and said: "Now there is a war on the Qingtang side, and there are people fleeing in the Acropolis every day. The neighbors around only think that they have escaped from the city to avoid the war disaster, but they didn't expect that it was both of them. died at home."

"Two days ago, it was the day when Dongchuan Hou Shizi was in a hurry to torture Zhang Hu, Zhao Long, and Ma Han. It seems that this Qingtang wizard was prepared early in the morning. But I don't understand why he didn't escape from the city. Instead, he chose to commit suicide."

Cui Yougui looked at the corpse of the wizard in Qingtang, and shook his head, full of confusion.

The reason why they judged that the Qingtang wizard committed suicide was because a dagger was inserted into his heart and crushed his heart.

Judging from the position and angle of the dagger inserted into the heart, and the situation where the Qingtang wizard held the handle of the knife with both hands, it didn't look like it was put out after someone killed him, and it was indeed a suicide.

Qin Qiaoer analyzed: "It's not that he doesn't want to escape from the city, but he can't escape. Look at him~lightnovelpub.net~ In addition to the fatal wound on his heart and chest, there are several wounds. These wounds should be Shaoyou's. After beheading Zhang Hu, Zhao Long and Wang Han who turned into corpses, and destroying the voodoo blood mist, the backlash damage was caused to him. With these injuries, he could not escape out of the city at all. When he reached the city gate, he would It was found and stopped. It is now a state of war, and the people guarding the city gates have already been replaced by elite soldiers, and there are powerful generals and supernatural items guarding them. It is not a problem to get out of the body within a certain period of time and wait for reinforcements to arrive. Presumably this Qingtang wizard once thought about going out of the city, but found that something was wrong, so he hid back again. He originally wanted to hide and wait for the limelight to pass before finding Chance escapes out of town, only to be met with a blanket search…”

Speaking of this, Qin Qiaoer also frowned.

A Qingtang wizard who is so cruel to himself, even if his whereabouts are about to be exposed, he shouldn't choose to commit suicide.

Logically speaking, even if he didn't use witchcraft to deceive the search soldiers, he should have rushed to kill a wave. Even if he died on the battlefield in the end, he could drag a few people behind him, so why did he commit suicide?

Is it possible that you are trying to cover up something?

"Could it be that we or Dongchuan Hou's men are afraid that someone who is good at arresting souls and interrogating ghosts will arrest his soul for interrogation when he dies. In order not to leak information, he simply commits suicide in advance, so that The soul dissipated or hid?" Su Jianqing, who had been studying the corpse, suddenly asked.

When everyone turned their heads to look at her, she pointed to the corpse of the Qingtang wizard and continued: "Generally speaking, after a person dies, the soul returns to the underworld, and the soul is attached to the dry bones and dissipates as the corpse rots." But in the body of this Qingtang wizard, I neither saw his soul nor found his soul, this is not normal!"
