Capital city, Secret Heaven Division.
The usually bustling and bustling Mi Tiansi suddenly became deserted during this period.
There are fewer people coming and going in and out of Mi Tiansi as in the past.
Outside the gate of Mi Tiansi, the cold wind was howling fiercely, as if it was shrouded in a layer of shadow.
It gives people an indescribable sense of solemnity.
As the largest organization in the capital, the Secret Heaven Division held a supreme position, governed by the Emperor and possessing a high status. All officials and commoners in the capital were wary of them, and in the past, members of the Secret Heaven Division acted with a high profile and arrogance.
However, during this period, Mi Tiansi changed his previous high-profile style and became low-key.
The reason is self-evident.
During this period, the Mi Tiansi encountered accidents one after another. First, in Beijing, Chen Feiyang, who was the protector of the Mi Tiansi, was suddenly attacked and killed. The Mi Tiansi searched for the murderer with great fanfare, but not only did they fail to find the murderer, but Chen Feiyang's body was hung openly outside the gate of the Mi Tiansi.
This is a provocation!
A naked provocation.
This move undoubtedly dealt a heavy blow to the prestige of Mi Tiansi!
Such arrogant behavior made countless people outside laugh at the joke, and also made all the people in the Secret Department feel extremely aggrieved.
But before they could catch the murderer, something big happened again!
This time, it was their great protector who died!
This news is undoubtedly shocking.
In just a few days, two guardians of the Secret Heaven Division died in succession. One of them was the most mysterious and powerful guardian of the Secret Heaven Division!
That great protector was not only the most powerful person in the Secret Heaven Division, but also the person with the strongest martial arts skills in the Secret Heaven Division.
Now that he is dead, the strength of Mi Tiansi will be greatly weakened.
Once this news gets out, the Secret Heaven Division will be humiliated. The prestige of the Secret Heaven Division in the capital will plummet to the bottom!
Therefore, Chen Changqing issued a strict order, resolutely not letting the news spread.
However, there is no impenetrable wall in the world!
Even if the Secret Service blocked the news, the body of the Great Protector was thrown outside the capital, and it was impossible to conceal it completely.
The news has gradually spread in Beijing and has been known by some interested people.
At this moment, the Secret Heaven Division was unusually deserted.
Occasionally, a few figures appeared, walking hurriedly with serious expressions on their faces.
The atmosphere is depressing.
Just inside the front hall, Chen Changqing, dressed in a black robe, stood quietly in the hall.
"The murderer hasn't been found yet?"
"It's been so long, and you don't even know the shadow of the murderer? How did you become the leader?!"
"waste!"
At this moment, two figures were standing not far in front of Chen Changqing.
The two men were about thirty years old, with ordinary looks, and were wearing clothes that were not much different from Chen Changqing's.
These two are the remaining two among the four Dharma protectors of the Secret Heaven Division!
After the death of Zhao Changyuan and Chen Feiyang, these two, as the only remaining protectors of the Secret Heaven Division, finally had to come forward.
At this moment, the two were coldly teaching Chen Changqing a lesson with an impatient tone.
Facing the accusations of the two, Chen Changqing lowered his head and said calmly: "I will do my best!"
"Try your best?"
One of them stared at him coldly: "It's been so long, what have you found out? Chen Feiyang is dead, Zhao Changyuan is also dead, do you know how serious this is?!"
"Lord Chen has learned of this and is furious in the palace!"
"If we don't find the murderer and give everyone an explanation, you and I will both die!"
Facing the two men's aggressive and threatening words, Chen Changqing's face remained calm and he said, "Guardians Zhao and Chen were attacked, but the killer left no trace. I've sent people to search the entire capital, but still haven't found any clues..."
Having said this, Chen Changqing suddenly paused and said, "But I have someone I suspect!"
"who?!"
Chen Changqing was silent for a moment, then looked up at the two guardians in front of him and slowly said, "Prince Lin Wang, Lin Jiangnian!"
As soon as these words were spoken, one could clearly see the two guardians' expressions suddenly change.
There was a look of panic and astonishment on their faces.
The two men looked at each other and saw the look in each other's eyes. One of them stared at Chen Changqing: "Do you have any evidence?!"
"have!"
Chen Changqing nodded.
"Where?"
"It's in the west of the city, where the guardian Chen Feiyang was attacked and killed."
Chen Changqing said calmly: "The place where Chen Protector was attacked is where the Prince of Lin lives..."
The two guardians' expressions changed slightly.
Prince Lin? !
They both naturally knew who the Prince of Lin was, and they also knew the value of this title.
In fact, Mi Tiansi did suspect the Prince of Lin.
However, there was no direct conflict between them and the Prince of Lin. They even had almost no interactions in the capital. How could the Prince of Lin kill their guardian for no reason?
This doesn’t make sense!
But after hearing what Chen Changqing said, they became a little suspicious again.
Did he find out something?
"Since you have evidence, why didn't you bring it here?"
Chen Changqing said calmly, "I'm just guessing, I don't have any solid evidence... If I want solid evidence, I'll need the help of the two guardians!"
"How can I help you?"
Chen Changqing spoke slowly, "I need two guardians to accompany me to the west of the city, where Guardian Chen was attacked. We'll know once we try. By then, the two guardians will naturally have evidence!"
As soon as these words were spoken, the two guardians looked at each other again, and both saw hesitation in each other's eyes.
Temptation?
Prince Lin?
The two of them looked at each other with serious expressions.
After all, it wasn't someone else, but the Prince of Lin! Unless there were special circumstances, he was someone they didn't want to provoke easily.
But right now…
After two guardians died in succession, Mr. Chen was extremely angry and ordered them to solve the case as soon as possible and find the murderer.
If this fails, Mr. Chen will be furious, and the consequences will be disastrous.
Thinking of this, the two of them already had the answer in their hearts.
“…”
West of the city.
The Jiang Mansion is located in a house two streets away.
The house had been sealed off long ago, and there were traces of a recent fight in the yard.
Ever since Chen Feiyang was attacked, this place has been sealed off by the Secret Heaven Division.
At this moment, outside the house.
Chen Changqing and the two guardians appeared at the door, and in addition, several masters of the Secret Heaven Division followed them.
Chen Changqing walked forward with an expressionless face, pushed open the door, and stepped into the courtyard.
"Go and have a look!"
A guardian glanced at his companion next to him, and the other party understood and followed Chen Changqing into the house.
The courtyard was cold and gloomy.
The guardian followed Chen Changqing and asked in a cold voice, "Where is the evidence?"
"In the backyard."
Chen Changqing walked into the backyard, stopped and looked back.
The guardian followed in, looked around, and frowned: "Where's the evidence? Where is it?"
Chen Changqing said nothing, but looked quietly at the guardian in front of him and the two masters following behind him.
"Why don't you say..."
Seeing Chen Changqing remained silent, the bodyguard's tone immediately grew impatient, and he was about to speak angrily. But the next second, his words were abruptly stopped.
The expression on his face turned into fear in an instant.
“…”
"Bang!"
"Help!"
A sharp scream came from the courtyard.
As soon as this voice came out, the expression of another guardian outside the house changed immediately and his eyes suddenly focused.
What’s going on?!
What happened?!
“Go and have a look!”
The guardian shouted coldly in a low voice.
Several figures rushed into the house and headed towards the backyard.
At the same time, a figure ran out from the backyard in a panic.
"Oh no! We were ambushed and killed by Prince Lin..."
The person who ran out from the backyard was Chen Changqing, who was in a dishevel and covered in blood.
At this moment, his face was filled with fear, and he ran out of the house as if fleeing in panic, saying in a panic: "Protector, the Lin-Prince Lin has set an ambush. I-We've fallen into a trap. Quick, run..."
Upon hearing this, the guardian outside the door's expression suddenly changed.
He didn't follow in because he was being cautious.
When he heard Chen Changqing say that Prince Lin had set an ambush, his face changed immediately.
This Prince Lin is really going too far!
He was shocked and angry, and at the same time a deep fear surged in his heart.
The deaths of Chen Feiyang and Zhao Changyuan had already made this guardian wary. Upon hearing they were ambushed, he instinctively wanted to retreat and run, with no intention of staying.
In a moment of fear, the guardian had no time to think about why Prince Lin would set an ambush here?
He didn't even bother to doubt the truth of Chen Changqing's words. He turned around in shock and anger.
"We've been ambushed!"
"Retreat, retreat quickly!"
While giving the order, the guardian turned around and was about to flee.
Just as he turned around, Chen Changqing, who was standing beside him with a panicked and embarrassed look on his face, suddenly looked cold.
A dagger emitting a cold light flashed from under his sleeve.
At this moment, the guardian who had just turned around suddenly sensed danger, and his back became cold and numb, and his whole body became stiff!
not good!
He was shocked and angry, and had a premonition that something was wrong.
But it's too late!
At such a close distance, without any defense.
The dagger, emitting a cold light, pierced his body accurately from behind.
Severe pain came instantly!
"puff!"
A mouthful of blood suddenly spit out.
The guardian turned around, his eyes fierce and angry, staring at Chen Changqing with deep disbelief: "You, you dare?!!"
However, what he met with Chen Changqing's gaze was a cold, emotionless one.
At this moment, Chen Changqing no longer had the submissive attitude he had in the past. All he had was a cold and murderous intent!
It was so cold that the guardian was trembling all over!
The guardian's eyes were filled with fear. At this moment, he finally realized what was going on: "Yes, it's you?!"
He realized a terrifying possibility!
A terrible possibility!
"You, you traitor, you, you dare..."
The guardian was furious, his eyes filled with horror.
"You know it's too late!"
Chen Changqing looked at him coldly with an expressionless face. He suddenly attacked, his whole body covered in a black robe, and appeared in front of the protector like a cannonball, strangling his neck.
“You, you…”
The guardian looked terrified and tried to struggle and dodge.
But after being attacked by surprise, he had no strength to resist. Chen Changqing easily grabbed his neck and twisted it with force without any expression!
“Crack!”
With a crisp sound, the last guardian of Mi Tiansi died!
All around, silence!
The remaining masters of the Mi Tiansi were all stunned at this moment.
He stared blankly at the scene in front of him, feeling somewhat incredulous and somewhat... doubting his life.
The leader actually killed the guardian?!
"You, are you crazy?!"
"Chen Changqing, you actually dared to kill the guardian? Are you trying to kill yourself?!"
"You're dead!"
“…”
After a brief moment of daze, angry voices were heard all around.
And deep fear.
Crazy!
It's crazy!
Why did Chen Changqing kill even the guardian?
Is he going to rebel?!
Chen Changqing stood where he was, looking at the chattering voices in front of him expressionlessly. His voice was cold and indifferent as always.
"Who said I only kill guardians?!"
“…”
Night fell and the cold wind howled.
Jiang Mansion, in the courtyard.
"Dead?"
Lin Jiangnian looked up at Lin Qingqing who was reporting to him in the courtyard, and asked in surprise: "When did this happen?"
"This afternoon and evening!"
Lin Qingqing said, "Chen Changqing led the two guardians of the Secret Heaven Division to the west of the city and defeated them one by one..."
"Except for those two guardians, none of their close associates survived..."
Listening to Lin Qingqing's report, Lin Jiangnian seemed to be thinking about something, then he shook his head and sighed: "He was a little reckless and impulsive!"
"Such a straightforward killing might arouse suspicion."
The deaths of Chen Feiyang and Zhao Changyuan were enough to arouse suspicion. Now that the remaining two guardians had been killed again, even a fool would realize something was wrong.
Why are all the dead ones the guardians of Mi Tiansi?
As the highest-ranking leader of the Secret Heaven Division, why is he still safe and sound?
"He was indeed a little impulsive."
Lin Qingqing nodded in agreement. She also thought that the leader was a little too hasty in his actions.
"It would be better to wait a while and find a good opportunity to strike! If he does this, it might arouse the suspicion of Chen Zhao in the palace."
"But it doesn't matter!"
Lin Jiangnian pondered for a moment and shook his head gently: "Now that the four guardians of the Secret Heaven Division have all been eliminated, that Mr. Chen's control over the Secret Heaven Division will become extremely weak..."
Chen Zhao's control over the Secret Heaven Division depended on the influence and influence of these four guardians within the Secret Heaven Division. Now, all four of them had been uprooted.
This was undoubtedly a heavy blow to Chen Zhao!
At this point, a sneer appeared on Lin Jiangnian's face: "Then, even if he suspects that Chen Changqing killed the person, it doesn't matter!"
Lin Qingqing was puzzled: "Your Highness, what do you mean?"
"Chen Zhao, he has no choice!"
Lin Jiangnian's eyes were deep, and he vaguely realized Chen Changqing's purpose.
He probably did this on purpose!
…
It's late at night.
Inside the Secret Temple, the lights are bright.
Chen Changqing, in a dishevel and covered in blood, knelt down in the hall of Mi Tiansi.
It was quiet all around and the lights were flickering!
Behind the screen in front, a hunched figure can be vaguely seen.
It looks hunched, but it gives people an invisible sense of oppression.
A deep, oppressive voice, tinged with anger, came from behind the screen.
"You killed that person?!"
He asked coldly.
Chen Changqing looked calm and spoke slowly.
"Exactly!"
From the moment he decided to take action, he knew that the matter could not be concealed.
He didn't intend to hide it.
"You're guilty of murdering your colleagues, are you aware of your crime?!"
The voice behind the screen was cold and angry.
"I admit my guilt!"
"Since you know your crime, why are you still so bold?!"
"because……"
Chen Changqing slowly raised his head and looked at the figure behind the screen. His eyes were firm as he said word by word, "I, your subordinate, would like a chance to do something for you, my father-in-law!"
"As long as they are alive, I don't have the qualifications!"
"So, they must die!"
“…”
