Chapter 14 Someone fled

　　An hour later, Zhou Ge had clarified the situation. The two dead men were a inquisitor from Changfeng City and a police officer, who had come to the city to watch the competition, but unfortunately became victims.

　　The fight between the two sides was short, with each person lasting less than ten rounds. They were both hit in the back by something, and then felt their neck being locked by invisible forces, until they couldn't breathe anymore.

　　Zhou Ge had heard of a similar situation once before. He pulled off the clothes of the two men, flipped them over, and indeed found the pattern of the five-legged gecko sorcery on their backs.

　　After reading the situation, Shi You sighed deeply: "Alas, it's them again."

　　"Does my senior brother know anything?"

　　"It's the Flying Star Sect in Shaowen! Since you're not a stranger, I won't hide it from you.About ten years ago, maybe even earlier, I don't know where a bunch of people emerged, calling themselves the Blade Lord, Spear Lord, or staff Lord. No matter what they called themselves, they were all branches of the Flying Star Sect, and they would indiscriminately take people's lives. Over the years, various cities have reported many similar cases. Counting the Sickle Lord from before and today's incident, there have been a total of 17 cases. This is only in our country of Xiyue; we don't know how many there are in other places!"

　　He quickly pulled out the embroidered silk scarf with the five-clawed gecko pattern and asked, "Is this also related to the Flying Star Sect?"

　　When Shi You saw the scarf, he understood the true intention of his teacher in asking his junior brother to enter Jiangxiao City.

　　"The person who owned this item was named Bai Weiwei. She was a member of the Flying Star Sect, and I don't know what she did. About three years ago, this person entered the city once. The city's police detected something suspicious and organized a pursuit operation. I was responsible for coordinating with them, but unfortunately, she escape techniques were too advanced, and we only managed to tear off a scarf."

　　"Bai Weiwei?"

　　"My junior brother, do you know why your master asked you to come here?"

　　"Why did he ask me to come... It couldn't be for this reason..."

　　"You're very smart; you guessed correctly."

　　Zhou Ge thought to himself that he was only guessing...

　　"Senior Brother..."

　　"In recent years, The city governor has sent people to Shaowen frequently, and they have brought back some news, but useful information is rare, and useless information is plentiful. You are the inheritor of your teacher's art of sigils, so I believe that you will have rich harvest from this trip."

　　"Let me investigate?"

　　"Yes, you're the one who brought everything. You're the only one who can do it. Pack up your things and get ready to leave tomorrow. By the way, go to the city first and deal with that person named Zhou Hong."

　　After Shi You finished speaking, he left the dilapidated hut and led his troops back to the North Gate, stopping to dispose of the bodies on the way and sending someone to deliver a message to Changfeng City.

　　Zhou Ge walked out of the hut in a daze. He had never left Xiyue before, and this was his first time leaving Binhri City. Risks were inevitable if he randomly entered another country to investigate. He should have asked his aunt to divine before leaving for the capital.

　　When Zeng Gang saw him come out, he approached and asked, "Zhou Duan, did you ask about it?"

　　"Ask about what?" He was still dazed.

　　"About Zhou Hong's matter."

　　"Oh... I asked about it. Shi You will enter the city to arrest him."

　　"That's great! We finally didn't work for nothing. Let's go."

　　"Go where?"

　　"To help! Come on!"

　　"Oh... Right..."

　　He suddenly remembered and followed the group back.

　　They entered the north gate and came to the competition site, and the two people who competed above were Bai Lie and Zhou Hong.

　　Shi You shouted, "Piao Yan mirror master，Quickly help capture that man!"

　　Piao Yan heard the shouting and hesitated for a moment. Seeing that the person shouting was the Liang Ran's disciple, he did not hesitate.

　　He lightly tapped the ground with his cane, jumped onto the stage, and threw out two copper mirrors, summoning two laughing devils.

　　"Good disciple, stop fighting."

　　Upon hearing the shouting, Bai Lie also understood what was happening. Without further explanation, he jumped off the stage, organized the police from each city, and at the same time asked people to evacuate the civilians.

　　In no time, Shi You and seven or eight policemen jumped onto the stage and surrounded the people in the center.

　　The person who claimed to be Zhou Hong was covered in cold sweat.

　　"Hao Yun, don't you want to act?"

　　He looked around and saw that the person he was looking for had disappeared. He cursed several times and cursed his luck. He pulled out his knife and charged towards the police.

　　One person is no match for many people. Even if he knows how to use the spell, he is still blocked by laughing devils. With the help of soldiers, it only took a few minutes for him to be captured.

　　Shi You walked forward a few steps: "Thank you, mirror master, and thank you all."

　　Piao Yan asked: "What exactly happened?"

　　"It's an old case."

　　He said so, and those who understand understand, those who don't understand can't explain it in public.

　　The soldiers took down the fake Zhou Hong and escorted him to prison; Shi Jun invited Piao Yan and Zhou Ge to come home and explained the whole story.

　　Piao Yan is familiar with this kind of case, so he knows about it; compared with this case, he is more concerned about Zhou Ge's interrogation of decedent soul.

　　The Binding Spirit Stanchion Rune Magic of Liang Ran has many developments, so maybe his mirror devil spell can also be developed. He thought like this.

　　Then Shi You told him about his teacher's plan to ask Zhou Ge to investigate in Shaowen. Piao Yan was very worried about this.

　　"Go by yourself? It's very difficult and dangerous."

　　Zhou Ge's eyes were glazed: "Go by myself..."

　　Shi You's face was serious: "Junior brother, the teacher has entrusted you with this task, and you are the only one who can do it. This is a heavy responsibility on your shoulders, so please do not decline."

　　"How heavy is the responsibility?"

　　"Don't you understand yet? The rise of heresy has misled people's hearts. Once it takes off, it is like an army that attacks cities and captures territory. The harm it brings is very extensive. Even if we win the war, it will still cause harm for several years or even ten years."

　　Upon hearing this,Zhou Ge understood something. It seems similar to what he mother said about removing calamities and solving critical situations.

　　"Oh..." He pondered and then replied.

　　"There is something else. Not only has this kind of case occurred in Xiyue, but also in Furen and Jinglun. I heard that Hongsu has also had this kind of case before, and maybe other places also have it. I feel that there will be a day when several countries' police forces jointly eradicate Flying Star Sect teachings one day. At that time, the things you investigate will be worth gold and silver."

　　"Several countries... Is it that exaggerated?"

　　"Not exaggerated." Piao Yan said seriously. "This trip is full of mountains and rivers, I don't know how long it will take. I think we can set a time limit of two years. As long as you return before the next competition, it should be fine. What do you think?"

　　When he heard the time limit, Zhou Ge felt more at ease and more confident.

　　"Two years? I will try."

　　Upon hearing his junior's promise, Shi You let out a hearty laugh: "Hahahaha! My teacher chose someone who is indeed right! Piao Yan master, what do you think?"

　　"He has courage, wisdom, and responsibility. He is very good! He has the style of Liang Ran younger days!"

　　Praise from two people is not enough to make Zhou Ge proud. He changed the topic and said, "There's someone else I want to investigate right now."

　　"Junior brother, once we find out about the fake Zhou Hong, I'll send someone to give you a message. Let's leave immediately."

　　"It's not him, it's the person he mentioned - Hao Yun. On the way here, I ran into Shaowen's Bei Ci County police. The criminal they want to arrest and the person I want to investigate are both Hao Yun."

　　Shi You tried to remember: "Hao Yun... the one with the red beard?"

　　Piao Yan thought for a moment: "The person responsible for registering competition participants, Haoyun... there can't be any problems with him, he's so honest..."

　　"Don't you think you noticed that he had been away from the local area?"

　　The two looked at each other and shook their heads. Zhou Ge sighed and didn't say anything more.

　　Zhou Ge returned to the Huanxi Building, took off his fox ears dagger, took off his police uniform, changed into a performer's outfit and ordinary dagger, and prepared to enter Shaowen; he explained to his partners that day, and they both expressed their concerns.

　　The next morning, Shi Jun prepared the items he would need on the road and a horse for him, said goodbye to everyone, and then set off for Changfeng City. Before leaving, he asked about Haoyun, but the man had already disappeared.
