Chapter 53: Hiding a Corpse in the Snow

"Minister? You..."

Qin Zhe turned his head happily, but when he looked up, he saw Liu Qingzhi's clothes were stained with blood, and the words on his lips stopped suddenly.

"Relax, it's not my blood."

Liu Qingzhi said calmly, came to stand beside him, and said softly.

"Not long ago, the president, Feijian, passed a letter to me, telling me the whole story. You are too risky, and you shouldn't be so impulsive when facing five fourth-orders."

Facing this voice full of concern, Qin Zhe felt a little hot in his heart, and said embarrassingly.

"I can't help it either. I'm already surrounded and trapped by the phantom array. If I don't face the enemy head-on, I can't..."

Before finishing speaking, Liu Qingzhi shook her head lightly.

"The process is not important, what is important is not to take such risks in the future."

Qin Zhe blinked when he heard the words, then nodded silently.

While the two were talking, the academicians headed by Shang Guanyan were very busy.

"Fifteen kilometers within the scorched earth boundary, there is an error in the position, and the difference is conservatively estimated to be within two kilometers."

"Enlarge the map and analyze it! Go to a few people to compare and simulate the entire route before and after the giant!"

"How's the logic going? Is the giant's path going in a straight line?"

A group of academicians yelled at each other, but Qin Zhe and Liu Qingzhi couldn't talk at all, so they could only stare with big eyes.

Suddenly, Qin Zhe felt an inexplicable feeling in his heart.

He couldn't tell where this induction came from, but it faintly pointed out a direction, the east.

Before Qin Zhe could figure out what was going on, Liu Qingzhi whispered.

"It's the messenger sword. Someone is asking for help. It's not far away."

After finishing speaking, Liu Qingzhi stepped forward to stop Shangguan Yan who was concentrating on the keyboard, and said.

"Academician Shangguan, someone in the academy is in distress. Qin Zhe and I need to rush to the rescue. You call up the floor plan, and I will point out for you where you saw the last giant and the direction it left from."

"OK."

Shangguan Yan nodded, and called out the plan of the scorched earth.

...

Not long after, Liu Qingzhi left the camp with Qin Zheyujian and flew straight to the east.

Qin Zhe asked as Yujian flew across.

"Minister, can you confirm who asked for help?"

Liu Qingzhi was silent for a while before answering.

"unconfirmed."

"Um?"

Qin Zhe was slightly taken aback, he didn't expect to get this answer.

The reason why he asked this question was because Li Zongheng came to confirm his identity earlier, and Liu Qingzhi should also be able to confirm his identity.

"There was a problem calling for help, but we had to go and check."

Liu Qingzhi said, looking straight ahead, said.

"It's almost here, get ready for battle, there may be an ambush."

"good."

Qin Zhe nodded and looked into the distance.

His sensing ability is not strong, so he is very confused when receiving the call for help, and probably only knows the direction.

But when he got close to the starting point of the signal, he could barely determine the location.

After a while, the two came to the source of the distress signal.

This is an extremely quiet mountain forest, there is no sign of spirit beasts or even wild beasts, only a piece of snow.

"Over there."

Liu Qingzhi pointed out a direction, and Qin Zhe followed the direction to look over, and saw a dark red bloodstain on the snow.

Liu Qingzhi's Yujian fell, looked around, and said.

"I can't sense anyone nearby, this blood..."

"It's already cold."

Qin Zhe stepped forward and touched it to confirm the temperature of the blood.

"Are you a step late?"

Liu Qingzhi murmured, hesitated for a moment, and said.

"Look around, there are no obvious signs of fighting around here, try to find other traces."

As soon as she finished speaking, out of the corner of her eye, she caught a glimpse of a corpse hidden in the snow not far away, and the flying sword beside her was drawn out, piercing into the snow and blasting the snow.

"Eagle country people?"

Qin Zhe was very surprised to see the whole body of the corpse, and then stepped forward to touch it again.

"It's very hard, it's been dead for a long time, and the time is not right."

"..."

Liu Qingzhi was silent, her beautiful eyes flashed twice, and she asked.

"Qin Zhe, aren't you... not afraid of the dead?"

"I've already killed two of them, and I'm not afraid of the living ones, so why should I be afraid of the dead ones?"

Qin Zhe responded, was taken aback for a moment, and turned around to find that the minister was standing still.

Qin Zhe didn't know why he was so calm when he saw the dead, and he wasn't interested in studying it.

But the Minister stood so far away, and asked that question because...?

Looking at the blood on Liu Qingzhi's skirt, Qin Zhe was a little uncertain.

As for the large bloodstain on her collar, it may have been wiped on some unlucky guy's neck, who would believe that she was afraid of death?

Facing Qin Zhe's suspicious gaze, Liu Qingzhi said calmly.

"To tell you the truth, I'm not very good at dealing with this kind of situation."

"oh……"

Qin Zhe responded blankly, coughed, and said.

"It's okay, I'm here, I'll do the dirty work."

As he spoke, Qin Zhe tore off the corpse's clothes to confirm the death, and then found an opening in the chest of the corpse.

This should be a knife wound, the person who did it was very straightforward, and this person didn't suffer at all.

Piercing the heart with a knife, unless the strength exceeds the fifth level, it will be killed instantly.

Qin Zhe analyzed it secretly, rubbed the accumulated snow on his hands, and then returned to Liu Qingzhi's side.

"Minister, what do you think?"

"It's the martial artist who strikes close to the body. The methods of Xianxiu and Moxiu are much rougher than this. It is impossible to leave such a clean knife wound."

Liu Qingzhi analyzed, bit her red lips lightly, thought for a while, and said.

"This time, only you are a martial artist who came in from the academy. You can be sure that this person was killed by someone else. There are no warriors in the staffing of the Super Disaster Bureau, and you can also be excluded. It is even more impossible for people from the scientific research institute. Those who engage in scientific research say that they have no hands The power of a chicken is not to be overstated. The chances of the people of Ying Country fighting among themselves is not high, and the people they came this time are not weak in cultivation, and this person died so simply, it is likely that he was attacked by surprise, and it may be Tang Xiaoyou who did it."

"Tang Xiaoyou?"

Qin Zhe was stunned and fell into deep thought.

"At present, there is only this explanation."

As Liu Qingzhi said, she raised her hand and called Feijian back, saying.

"Even Zhou Wu, a director of the academy, can be the running dog of the Ying people. It is not surprising that a student in the academy rebelled, not to mention her parents are very close to the Ying people?"

Qin Zhe had a meal with Tang Xiaoyou, and the two of them were quite happy at the dinner table, so although she wasn't sure whether she was forced to enter the secret realm with the Ying people, she instinctively wanted to say a few words for her.

It's just that Qin Zhe thought about it carefully, and there seemed to be something wrong, so he raised his head blankly.

"Zhou Wu is the running dog of the people of Ying Kingdom?"

"The president didn't tell you?"

Liu Qingzhi asked back, seeing his confused face, said.

"After we entered the secret realm, someone came to the infirmary to lure the president to leave. Zhou Wu took the opportunity to take James away, but he disappeared. The hidden surveillance in the infirmary has captured footage, and the evidence is convincing that he is a traitor. The reason why he didn't Resist to jump out, presumably William recklessly forcibly opened the secret realm, which is different from what he had planned before."

"Then Zhou Wentong..."

Qin Zhe was so dazed that he fully expected that the incident would develop like this.
