After a short rest, the three men and the horse took advantage of the clear weather to return to the organization, but they didn't expect to hear no sound at all. The quiet atmosphere made everyone nervous and felt a little weird.
"You two wait here for a moment, I'll go in and take a look at the situation." Wu Liang was a very vigilant and smart person. After noticing something was wrong, he went in alone to find out what was going on.
When he entered from the back door, he found corpses everywhere in the yard. The secret rooms, secret passages, corridors, and rooms were full of dead bodies, all of them were Zoroastrians. Seeing this, he clenched his fists tightly and tears fell unconsciously.
The old doctor and Gu Yunru had been waiting at the door. About half an incense stick of time had passed when they heard crackling noises from inside. Gu Yunru's heart sank, and he secretly felt that something was not right. So he walked in side by side with the old doctor. When they saw this scene, they both froze in place.
"What is going on?" Gu Yunru came to Wu Liang and saw him standing in front of the ancestral hall. The spirit tablets of the sect leader and elders that had been worshipped before had all been burned to ashes.
"A Zhao...Shu'er?" Gu Yunru thought of these people and wondered where they were. She quickly looked around and saw three of them in the secret room, but there were only three of them. Rong Zhen had a splitting headache at this moment. As soon as he opened his eyes, he saw Gu Yunru beside him, looking quite panicked.
"Yunru...you...why are you back?" Rong Zhen seemed quite surprised to see her. At this time, Wu Liang and the old doctor came to the secret room and saw that they were the only three alive in the organization. They immediately put their swords on Rong Zhen's neck and said with bloodshot eyes: "Tell me, who are you? Why are all our Zoroastrian believers dead, but only you three are still alive!"
"Brother Wu, don't get excited. Things may not be what you think." Gu Yunru stood in front of Rong Zhen to prevent the two from fighting. The old doctor next to him was also excited, saying something. It seemed that he believed that the extermination of Zoroastrianism was related to these three people.
"Then ask him to explain why only the three of them were able to hide in this secret room, while all my brothers were killed!"
Wu Liang wanted Rong Zhen to give an explanation, but Han Suche's eyes rolled and he said, "Actually, this is all my fault. I was the first one to notice something was wrong, so I called Shu'er and Brother Rong to hide in this secret room together. The others went to deal with the gang of criminals who suddenly broke in, but I didn't see them clearly. I heard the noise outside but didn't dare to go out. This is all my fault..."
"Bandits, are you kidding? The terrain around here is so remote, how could there be bandits? Either there is a traitor in the Zoroastrianism, or someone deliberately lured them here!"
Wu Liang directed every word at everyone, and then moved his scrutinizing gaze to Gu Yunru's face, "I thought you were different from them, but now it seems that you are all the same kind of people. Your purpose of sneaking into my Zoroastrianism is for this, right?"
"Brother Wu, things are really not what you think. If you doubted me in the first place, why did you go to the government to save me? There must be a misunderstanding. Let me go out and see how the Zoroastrian brothers died."
Gu Yunru wanted Wu Liang to give her a chance, so she went out with the old doctor. The two of them came to the conclusion that they were all poisoned to death first and then killed with a sharp blade.
"Shu'er, have you eaten anything strange before?" Gu Yunru stared at Shu'er's uneasy face and asked. Shu'er frowned and shook her head.
"I didn't eat anything, but I did feel dizzy after drinking a bowl of tea, and then I fainted. It seems that Miss Han led us into the secret room."
"Han Suche, can you tell me why you didn't drink that bowl of tea?" Gu Yunru moved her questioning eyes to Han Suche's face. This gangster was best at lying, but at this moment, even if she wanted to lie, she could not escape Gu Yunru's keen eyes.
"I stopped drinking when I saw that they were acting strange after drinking. Then I heard someone suddenly break in at the door, so I took them both to the secret room."
Han Suche lowered his head and told everyone everything he knew, but this did not convince anyone. Even Rong Zhen began to doubt him. "How did you manage to get the two of us to the secret room by yourself?"
"I... you may not believe me, but I still have some strength." Han Suche looked at everyone sincerely. Shu'er snorted disdainfully and said, "Don't even think about getting away with it. Tell me what you know quickly."
"That's all I know. I know you won't believe me, but there's no need for me to lie to you."
Han Suche scratched his head, lowered his head and pursed his lips in grievance, "If I really wanted to harm you, why didn't I just leave? I had to wait for you to come back in the secret room just to tell you the truth, but you didn't believe me. If I had known this would happen, I would have just left!"
Seeing her self-righteous look, Shu'er didn't know what to say to her. She walked to Gu Yunru and frowned in confusion, saying, "This matter is quite strange. There must be a traitor, otherwise everyone wouldn't drink that bowl of tea without any precautions.
Since everyone was killed after being poisoned, I think it is impossible for this person to kill everyone in one night. Let's look at how many people were killed in Zoroastrianism."
"Shu'er is right. Brother Wu, do you have a list of the members of the Zoroastrianism?"
Rong Zhen looked at Wu Liang, who was still immersed in anger and had not come to his senses. Wu Liang paused, took out a secret box, listed the names of the people, and several people worked separately to move the bodies into the yard.

"There are 321 people in total, all of whom died from knife wounds. They all showed signs of poisoning before. There are 325 people on the list, which means that four people are missing. If these four people can be found, maybe we can solve this mystery."
Gu Yunru acted promptly, and the old doctor beside him was crying bitterly. His relatives and friends were here, but he didn't expect to find that they were all dead when he came back. Such a blow was so sudden and heavy.
"Brother Wu, what are you going to do next?" Gu Yunru looked at Wu Liang, whose face was filled with grief, and walked forward. He knew that nothing he said now would calm him down, but the only thing he could do now was to stay calm and find the murderer.
"I'm going to Taocheng to find the second elder."
"Second Elder?"
