C275 Guilty (1/2)
After the middle-aged man's explanation, Lin Yi finally understood everything that had happened in Eastern Wall City.
It turned out that starting from half a year ago, the first case of citizens being abducted had occurred in the east wall. However, even though the patrols in the eastern city had tried their best to look for them, they had not found any news. Moreover, it was only the first case where a girl had been abducted, so the patrol didn't take it seriously. In the following month, over a dozen women were kidnapped from the east wall of the city without anyone noticing. This matter naturally caused a panic amongst all of the citizens of the eastern city.
However, at this moment, Dongfang Xiao stood up and announced that he would personally take action to find the culprit who kidnapped the woman. I hope that everyone will not panic and send a large number of men to patrol the city. Seeing Dongfang Xiao's actions, the residents of Eastern Wall City also relaxed slightly.
And one night, when a couple came home, they were kidnapped again. And this time, even the man was nowhere to be seen. Three days later, the man's body appeared outside the city gate. Following that man's corpse was discovered, within a ravine not too far away from the man, someone was also discovered. The female corpses that were taken away before were all there. Every woman had traces of being bitten. Not only that, there was not a single trace of blood left on the women's bodies.
After the female corpses were found, Dongfang Xiao followed the guards and appeared. After that, he threw the corpse of a White-Eyed Tiger out. The root of everything that he said was the actions of that White-Eyed Tiger. The citizens of Eastwall City were grieving over their beloved daughter. Naturally, they were filled with endless grief. But now that the culprits had been killed by Dongfang Xiao, no one doubted anything. They brought their daughters back home one by one to bury them.
He had originally thought that everything was over. Two months later, another person was abducted. And this time, they were all children. Everyone in Eastern Wall City thought that it was the other members of the White-Eyed Tiger taking revenge. However, a child who had escaped by luck told everyone that he had seen a very, very long snake. Moreover, the child also saw the long snake drilling into the City Lord's Mansion and disappearing without a trace.
Although the citizens of the Eastern Wall City were confused by his words, they still brought the children with them to the City Lord's Mansion to question Dongfang Xiao. In the end, they saw Dongfang Xiao walking out of the house, covered in blood. Behind him, several guards dragged a long snake as they walked out. Right now, the serpent was already dead. Without a doubt, Dongfang Hong had once again become the hero of Eastwall City.
However, every time Dongfang Xiao solved a problem, a young girl and a child would be lost. Sometimes, even some old people would mysteriously lose contact with them. Gradually, the hearts of the people in the Eastern City began to pound, and naturally, no one dared to casually appear on the streets again. The reason why everyone came to the tavern and the teahouse was because they were invited to be together. That was why they dared to walk out of the door.
After listening to the middle-aged man's story, Lin Yi coldly snorted in his heart. Dongfang Xiao was a member of the Beastmaster Sect, and the reason why the Beastmaster Sect controlled the Beastmaster Sect was because they were a sect that could control beasts. Now that all of the blame was placed on the ferocious beasts, Lin Yi immediately understood what was going on. Furthermore, Lin Yi faintly had the feeling that Dongfang Xiao's actions, could lead to an even bigger conspiracy.
After finishing his tea, Lin Yi bid farewell to Old Uncle Zhao and the two middle-aged men. His consciousness immediately moved, and locked onto the location of the City Lord's Mansion. After finding a remote corner, Lin Yi's figure moved, and like a breeze, he quickly flew towards the City Lord's Mansion.
Now that he knew about the changes in Eastern Wall City, Lin Yi naturally would not stand idly by and watch. Moreover, this matter could be said to be done secretly by Dongfang Xiao and the Beast Master School, Lin Yi naturally had to investigate everything thoroughly.
”What a strong smell of blood.” Inside the City Lord's Mansion, Lin Yi's figure slowly appeared. Although he was guarded by a guard, Lin Yi directly appeared in Dongfang Xiao's room as if he had passed through an uninhabited realm. The moment Lin Yi appeared, he smelt an extremely strong stench of blood. His consciousness moved slightly, and only now did he realize that there was actually a hidden mechanism on Dongfang Xiao's wall. Lin Yi lightly pressed, and the wall instantly flipped over.
As he flipped it over, the stench of blood became even stronger. Seeing that, Lin Yi could not help but frown.
”Damn it!”
As he went deeper, the smell of blood became more distinct. And when Lin Yi turned around and saw the scene in front of him, he instantly became furious and shaken.
In this cellar, it could be said to be a dungeon. At this moment, each of the wooden posts had a young girl or child hanging from it. The eyes of these young girls and children were numb and emotionless. At a glance, they looked like living corpses. Above everyone's heads, there was a weak spirit sphere that provided spirit energy, and on everyone's feet, there was a steady stream of blood dripping down from the pools of blood.
