Ministry of Justice.
It was one of the six ministries of the Corpse Nation. It was in charge of the country's penal decrees.
The headquarters of the Ministry of Justice was located in the Imperial City District. There were branches in different districts. The members of the Ministry of Justice had to pass the Martial Force and Corpse Assessment. After becoming a member of the Ministry of Justice, they would receive a special waist token and attire.
Currently.
A zombie wearing a green scaled robe and a waist token and a long saber quickly arrived at the Ministry of Justice's branch in the Talisman District. He immediately found the branch manager.
"Manager Zuo, bad news! Xu Zhengyang, who lived at 37 Lingbao Street, is dead! "
"What!"
The manager was so shocked that he stood up from his seat.
Who was Xu Zhengyang? He was a fourth-grade necromancer. In terms of official position, he was much higher than the manager of the branch.
"How is that possible? Xu Zhengyang's mansion was already impregnable. He even had a black zombie-level corpse servant by his side. He was also very powerful and had even been on the necromancer list.
I'll go take a look myself. I'll tell you the details on the way. "
"Manager, do we need to report to the central government?"
"I'll report to the higher-ups after I find out the details. Now is a critical time to use people. If the higher-ups know about Xu Zhengyang's death, they might be angry and implicate us.
In short, we must report to the higher-ups.
However, we must find a scapegoat and let him bear the anger of the higher-ups and share the pressure from the Ministry of War. "
"Understood."
The manager immediately called his most trusted assistants, who were both black-clothed guards.
Then, he brought 20 green-clothed guards and immediately went to the scene of the incident.
"How did Xu Zhengyang die?"
"From the situation at the scene, it was because the black zombie, Wang Tiezhu, completely lost control and killed him.
The reason for Wang Tiezhu's loss of control is suspected to be related to a group of live monkeys that were recently purchased from the market. Wang Tiezhu completely lost control and carried out an indiscriminate killing in the mansion.
Other than Xu Zhengyang's death, the zombies that Xu Zhengyang raised and controlled were almost all killed. "
Speaking of this, the green-clothed messenger suddenly lowered his voice and reported to the manager some matters related to Xu Zhengyang's private underground prison and large-scale raising of zombies.
"We must collect detailed information about these matters. When the higher-ups come to investigate, especially the Ministry of War personnel involved in necromancers, focus on reporting Xu Zhengyang's' private matters' to them. If they don't want to make a big deal out of it, they won't ask too much.
Speaking of which, these necromancers were really daring to raise so many zombies.
By the way, you mentioned that most of the zombies in the mansion were killed. Are there any survivors? "
"There are only two survivors. Their identities have been verified. They are from the Oil Workshop District."
"Both of them are from the oil workshop district … How are their injuries?"
"The two zombies aren't injured. They've been captured and are ready to be brought back for interrogation. Sir, you should check the scene first."
"Yes."
…
That was right.
After much consideration, Han Dong decided to kill Xu Zhengyang.
It was not as simple as what Han Dong had said, to enter the prison by killing people.
Instead, it was Han Dong's perception that had been spread out in his brain domain. He had sensed that Xu Zhengyang was using a paper bird made of talisman paper in an attempt to transmit information to the outside world.
Furthermore.
Xu Zhengyang also used some kind of necromancy spell to inform all the zombies in the mansion that had talismans stuck on their foreheads about the situation here.
As long as even one zombie sneaked out, it would cause the secret to be leaked.
In fact, after these zombies died, they could also dissect their brains or use some kind of brain information reading method to express that Han Dong was the culprit.
In addition, according to Han Dong's exploration of the mansion, he discovered that Xu Zhengyang was meticulous and cunning.
If he really wanted to keep him alive, he would have to bear a great risk … Killing him was the best solution.
At the same time, Han Dong also killed all the zombies in the mansion and destroyed the brain structure to remove the hidden dangers.
Han Dong was not bold enough to directly admit that he had done it. Instead, he had done something … Considering that the nature of the incident was extremely bad, once the Ministry of Justice found out, he might be executed on the spot.
Since Wang Tiezhu did not hesitate to burn the Heart Cleansing Talisman between his eyebrows in order to protect his master, he might as well put most of the blame on him.
Of course, Wang Tiezhu's brain structure had been changed by Han Dong with his tentacles and injected with a crazy attribute.
The Ministry of Justice had spent a lot of effort to suppress Wang Tiezhu …
Of course, there were still some things that were unclear.
These unclear things might have been deliberately left behind by Han Dong to deliberately set his crime at a certain level.
…
There was no doubt that Wang Tiezhu was the culprit.
Even if Han Dong and Zhang Xiliang were also suspects, the two of them were only green zombies.
At the same time, the neighbors in the oil mill area and the supervisor could also testify that two months ago, Xu Zhengyang brought a black zombie to the oil mill area and directly tore down a house and seemed to have captured two zombies.
Although they did not see who was captured, they could immediately confirm it based on Zhang Xiliang's check-in record at the oil refinery and the time of disappearance.
However.
As there were still a few suspicious points in the case that had not been cleared up, Han Dong and Zhang Xiliang were temporarily detained in the dungeon of the Ministry of Justice. They would wait until the investigation by the 'higher-ups' was over to determine their whereabouts.
The jailer in charge of escorting Han Dong into the dungeon had a good attitude. It seemed that in his heart, he thought that Han Dong and Zhang Xiliang were victims.
Moreover, no matter how he thought about it, two ordinary green zombies could not pose any threat to Xu Zhengyang.
"Don't worry, now is the time to use people. The two of you will be fine.
Just stay in the dungeon for the next few days. "
Han Dong threw out a question: "… If there is evidence that proves that we are indirectly related to Xu Zhengyang's death, will we be sent to the dungeon?"
"I can't say for sure.
However, Xu Zhengyang did it first … It is reasonable for you to resist. It should be fine. "
"Okay."
To be honest.
Han Dong wanted to go to the dungeon to take a look. After all, it was located in the Imperial City and was directly controlled by the imperial court.
Through the current investigation, Han Dong still could not find any clues related to 'losing control'.
The information he obtained from Xu Zhengyang's head was not very suspicious. It was nothing more than a special organization.
Perhaps he could find clues in an extreme place like the dungeon.
However … something unexpected still happened.
The next day.
People from the Imperial City, including the Vice Chancellor of the Supreme Court and the East Supervisor of the Ministry of War, came to the talisman area to investigate this matter. On the same evening, a special person came to the dungeon area to meet the survivor Han Dong.
Inside the pitch-black prison cell.
A candle light went down the stairs and slowly floated to the door of the cell where Han Dong was.
When the candle light stopped, a woman was slowly reflected in the light … She was not a zombie.
Her gaze met with Han Dong who was meditating in the cell.
Through the appearance.
Han Dong's Demon Eye seemed to have caught something. In the woman's pupils, there was a black vortex mark that was slowly rotating.
