Chapter 3496: Taking the Road

"It took an hour before you saw Ruihou's body?"

Bai Ye frowned, crouched down, and observed the body.

"Sir, Ruihou was obviously scratched alive by someone, and after suffering so much pain, his heart was ripped out and killed!"

The guard pointed at Ruihou's chest and said in a deep voice.

"May I have your name?"

Bai Ye glanced at the guard and said.

"Lord Qi, my subordinate Yao Hui!"

The guard cupped his fists.

"Yao Hui, right? Keep talking."

Bai Ye said calmly.

"yes."

Yao Hui nodded, stared at Ruihou's body for a while, and then said: "Although Ruihou is from the Rui family, his status in the Rui family is not high. In addition, he just joined our East District and is not familiar with the place. Speaking of it, the possibility of a vendetta is not high, and my subordinates speculate that Ruihou should have been executed by the Rui family."

"The Rui family?"

"Yes, the Rui family must be dissatisfied with Ruihou joining the East District and resent him, so they attacked him."

Yao Hui said.

"In that case, the Rui family is really powerful. In my territory in the East District, you can easily kill someone if you want."

Bai Ye spoke faintly, his words were cold, and his pupils clearly showed deep displeasure.

"It's because my subordinates neglected their duties and failed to protect the Eastern District!"

Yao Hui cupped his fists and said.

"I don't blame you. Hong Yiming is responsible for the inspection work in the Eastern District. I will talk to him later and ask him to strengthen the management of the defense work in the Eastern District."

Bai Ye said calmly: "Find a place to bury Ruihou, and the others will continue to work."

"Yes, sir!"

The crowd shouted.

Bai Ye turned around and left with his hands behind his back.

When they returned to the command hall, they saw Hong Yiming and Ming Xiao hurriedly arriving.

"grown ups..."

"What's wrong?"

"What happened to Ruihou... I come here to apologize!"

Hong Yiming knelt on the ground and kowtowed to Bai Ye.

"It's none of your business, get up and talk."

Bai Ye said calmly.

"Sir, the Rui family sent experts into my east district, blatantly killed Ruihou and left without knowing anything about it. How can I be innocent? Please punish my subordinates for dereliction of duty!"

Hong Yiming lowered his head and said in pain.

"But the Rui family didn't send someone to sneak in from the outside and assassinate Rui Hou."

Bai Ye shook his head.

"What?"

Hong Yiming was stunned.

Ming Xiao, who was next to him, was startled, and then he quickly said: "Sir, do you mean... the Rui family used people from my East District to kill Rui Hou?"

"It should be so."

Bai Ye nodded, then looked at Hong Yiming and said, "Hong Yiming, apart from you, do the Rui family have any other spies or agents in the East District?"

"Sir, I have never heard of it. Maybe there is, but the Rui family won't let me know."

Hong Yiming shook his head repeatedly and said, "Sir, do you mean that the Rui family sent other informants to attack Rui Hou?"

"It's possible."

Bai Ye said solemnly: "If we send someone to assassinate, it is impossible to assassinate Ruihou silently in a resource area where there are so many people. Ruihou only needs to make the slightest sound and the opponent will be exposed, and The other party could also kill Ruihou and then quietly throw Ruihou's body back to the resource area, which shows that the other party is from the East District! Rather than a stranger."

The two heard the sound and nodded silently.

"Sir, I think this person should be acquainted with Ruihou. He must have deliberately deceived Ruihou into an uninhabited land, sealed his cultivation, set up a shielding barrier, tortured Ruihou, and then put the body in In the storage space, return to the resource area and throw the body down when someone is unprepared..."

Ming Xiao said while thinking.

His analysis makes perfect sense...

"That means the murderer is someone from that resource field?"

Hong Yiming's eyes lit up and he said immediately.

"Maybe it is, maybe it's not! You have to check the resource field first to see if there are anyone else coming in and out today besides the people who went to the field!"

Bai Yedan said: "Yiming, I will leave this matter to you. You must find the murderer for me, do you understand?"

"Don't worry, sir, Hong Yiming will definitely fulfill his mission."

"Remember, if you want to investigate secretly, I will tell outsiders that it is Mingxiao who is investigating, because you are the Rui family's spy. If you try hard to investigate, the Rui family will be suspicious. After all, everyone in Bixin City Everyone knows that Ruihou betrayed the Rui family and is a traitor to the Rui family!"

"clear."

"The Rui family assassinated Rui Hou and deliberately dumped the body in the resource area. They wanted to give me a blow. They also wanted to scare the Rui family's spies in the East District and tell them the consequences of betraying the Rui family. However, in doing so, they obviously violated the law. It touched my bottom line. No matter what purpose Ruihou had, he still surrendered to me after all. He is my person and he tortured and killed my people in my territory. This account must be settled no matter what."

Bai Ye said lightly, with murderous intent in his eyes.

The two of them looked determined and prepared to go down to work.

But at this moment, Lei Yi and Ji Dian suddenly walked in quickly from outside the door.

The two of them were startled and looked at the brother and sister.

However, they saw that the two siblings ignored Hong Yiming and Ming Xiao and went straight to the hall.

"Commander Bai!"

Lei Yi clasped his fists and shouted: "Your Majesty, City Lord, please come with us."

"The mayor wants to see me?"

Bai Ye was stunned.

"Yes, Commander Bai, please follow us immediately."

"No wonder I didn't see you two so early in the morning. Did you go back to Wang Tianlong's place?"

Bai Ye said in surprise.

"Commander Bai, our freedom is not restricted by you."

The flashing willow eyebrows stood upright.

"Yeah."

Bai Ye smiled faintly, thought for a moment, and said to Hong Yiming, "Yi Ming, go prepare your horse."

"Sir, I will mobilize the elite troops to **** you there!"

Hong Yiming said hurriedly.

"No, I can go alone. Besides, if the city lord really wants to do something to me, what's the use of relying on the people in the East District?"

Bai Ye shook his head, stood up and walked out the door.

Hong Yiming and Ming Xiao looked at each other, and they could see the worry in each other's eyes, but to no avail.

Soon, Bai Ye ran towards the city lord's mansion with thunder and lightning.

However, as soon as he entered the mansion, Bai Ye was taken to the back garden of the city lord's mansion.

At this moment, Wang Tianlong was sitting in the pavilion, enjoying the freshly picked spiritual fruits, while looking at the beautiful dancers twisting their waists in the garden.

"Lord City Lord, it's so enjoyable."

Bai Ye smiled slightly and clasped his fists: "Bai Ye pays homage to the Lord of the City."

"Hey! Commander Bai is here? Come on, come on, sit down and try these freshly picked spiritual fruits. These are all good things. If you eat one, you can increase your cultivation level by ten years!"

"Really? Then I won't be polite."

Bai Ye was too lazy to be pretentious, so he stepped forward, picked up one, and bit it.

Seeing this, Wang Tianlong narrowed his eyes and nodded with satisfaction: "Commander Bai is still very good, not bad! I like it very much, hahaha..."
