Douluo: Subversion Begins with the Arrival of the Traveler

Chapter 72 Find the murderer
"Coco, my brother and Paimon are here."

Kong said softly, and then summoned the water element to wash away all the remaining blood stains on Yu Keke's body.

The everlasting grass element bloomed from Yu Keke's body, the wound on her forehead quickly healed, and her little face turned red.

From a distance, it looked like a little fox girl who had fallen asleep, but she could never open her eyes again.

Kong put the jade pendant back on Yu Keke's neck, and a corner of a small notebook appeared from her arms.

Sora picked up the small notebook and, in the gentle breeze, opened the first page.

There was a short paragraph written on it in a very eloquent manner. The handwriting was a little crooked, but it was obvious that it was written carefully, stroke by stroke.

Page 1: I asked His Highness for a small notebook today. Actually, I wanted to record some things~
Where should I start? Hmm~ Let's start from when I met my brother Paimon and the others!
They always call me a little monster. Only my dad, brother and Paimon don't think I am. Paimon even praises me for being pretty, hehe~
Page 2: My brother and Paimon finally agreed to take me on a trip, that’s great!

……

Paimon looks so cool and beautiful when he grows up. I love it! I want to grow up quickly too!
……

Paimon said she was his brother's guardian angel, and his brother was very happy~
Actually, I also want to be my brother's guardian angel, but I don't have any ability at all. I can only be a burden...

……

I've thought of what gifts to give my brother and Paimon!

They don’t know that I often made clay figures when I was little, and I had to make my brother and Paimon look super good!

Hmm~ I don't have enough clay. I wanted to make a clay figurine of myself and put it together with my brother and Paimon, so that the three of us will never be separated...

……

My brother helped me wake up again. I feel so powerful. What should I do? I’m so excited that I can’t sleep!

I’m leaving tomorrow. I’m finally going on a trip with my brother!
But I have to find a way to get some more clay.

His Highness seems to be in a very low mood now that he knows we are leaving.

I want to make three more clay figurines for him, so he won’t be sad...

……

The little notebook is very thin and only contains a few words.

"cocoa……"

Xue Qinghe stood nearby and read the last page. He called out softly, covering his mouth and nose in a pretentious manner, and intermittent sobs came out from his hands.

"grown ups……"

"Sir, Miss Coco is..."

Chen Xin and Dugu Bo arrived one after another and saw Kong holding Yu Keke in his arms, and they couldn't see his expression clearly.

"Help me find out who has passed by here since dawn and who has seen what happened."

Sora put the small notebook and the little clay figurine in Paimon's hand into the Chenge pot, straightened the little skirt of the girl in his arms, restrained his aura, and spoke calmly.

"Yes!"

"Yes……"

Xue Qinghe, Chen Xin and Dugu Bo all nodded in response.

Xue Qinghe walked to the head guard who had stood up and whispered a few words to him.
The captain of the guards made the assurance in a stern manner and then hurried away to gather people and start questioning every household.

Chen Xin and Dugu Bo squatted down to pick up the fallen rubber mud on the ground, and walked to the stone bench in front of a house with Yu Keke in their arms and sat down.
Paimon followed him with tears in his eyes, watching silently as the little clay figure was gradually being formed in his hands.

"Your Highness, this is..."

Dugu Bo saw Kong concentrating on making clay figures, so he went up to Xue Qinghe and asked quietly.

"Coco is dead. Murdered. Right here."

Xue Qinghe looked at Dugu Bo and Chen Xin and spoke word by word.

"..."

Dugu Bo, Chen Xin, and Ning Fengzhi, who had just arrived, stumbled a few steps upon hearing this. "Your Highness, do you know who did this?"

Ning Fengzhi tried his best to control his emotions, but his hands, which were leaning on the jade crutch, were shaking.

This is really outrageous!

Someone actually attacked the people around that adult...

"Master, Miss Rongrong is here..."

At this time, a soul master in casual clothes appeared behind Ning Fengzhi. After saying a few words in his ear, Ning Fengzhi's worried expression recovered at a speed visible to the naked eye.

"That's good, that's good~ Back off and continue protecting her. Even those close to that gentleman have been harmed. You must be extremely vigilant and don't let Rongrong get hurt!"

Ning Fengzhi let out a long sigh and whispered instructions to the soul master.

"Master, I have something else to report. I saw..."

The sect's soul master seemed to remember something and then said a few words in Ning Fengzhi's ear.

"What?! Say it again!"

Ning Fengzhi screamed, and his originally relaxed mood became tense again due to the soul master's words.

"Your Highness, this man said he saw someone committing a crime here this morning. I wonder..."

A captain of the guards brought a beggar-looking man to Xue Qinghe and reported the situation to him.

"Uncle, tell me everything you saw this morning without leaving out any words!"

Xue Qinghe was speaking while feeling around his body when he realized that he had thrown all the soul coin bags to the stall owner.

So he looked at the captain of the guards, took out two gold soul coins from him, put them in the beggar's hand, and signaled him to tell the truth about what he had seen.

The beggar took the soul coin with surprise, knelt down and kowtowed to Xue Qinghe, saying in a flattering manner:
"Thank you, sir. This is what happened. I was sleeping in the alley over there this morning. I heard someone shouting for help. I was a little scared, so I didn't dare come out. I could only hide there and watch quietly...

The girl was also very stubborn. Seeing that she couldn't resist, she bit off the fat man's ear.

While the fat man was in pain, the girl stood up and slammed her head against the stone wall next to her, and then..."

The beggar used his hands and feet to describe what he had seen.

"Fatty~ wearing extraordinary yellow hair... I know!"

Ning Fengzhi slapped his thigh, yelled, and hurried to Kong, saying anxiously:
"Sir, I know who killed Miss Coco!"

"Ok?"

Kong was kneading the clay figurine seriously, and Ning Fengzhi's words made him look up suddenly.

"Sir, if my guess is correct, it's a fat guy from Shrek Academy and that yellow... Dai Mubai!"

Ning Fengzhi looked at the air with a threatening look, and combined with the words of the secret guards beside Rongrong, he expressed his speculation.

"Sir, I know where they are. I will take you there right away."

Ning Fengzhi didn't wait for Kong to speak, but trotted ahead to lead the way for him.

Kong stood up, still holding Yu Keke in his arms. He turned to look at Paimeng and said:

"Paimon, let's go avenge Coco."

"Uh-huh!"

Paimon nodded heavily, a rare gloomy look appearing on his face.

Wherever Ning Fengzhi passed, everyone made way for him, followed by Kong with an expressionless face and Paimeng with tears still streaming down his face.

Xue Qinghe, Chen Xin and Dugu Bo followed closely behind.

Xue Qinghe ordered the Tiandou guards who were accompanying him for air conditioning, about a hundred people, to follow at the end in a menacing manner.
