Chapter 58
No one knows how Zhu San died.
The body was intact, with no wounds visible.
Feng Yuanliang stood beside the corpse with a gloomy expression and said nothing.
Zhu San is the core figure of Tianmang Chamber of Commerce, responsible for the task of collecting burning cattle, and his status is second only to the vice president.
Zhu San's cultivation level is not bad. Others don't know it, but Feng Yuanliang knows it well. Zhu San may not be considered a top master, but he is definitely at the forefront among Qi practitioners.
In Feng Yuanliang's view, Zhu San's strength was even greater than that of the horse bandit Luo San.
With such skill, he died in a confusing manner. The murderer is unknown, and even the cause of death is unknown.
"Could he be poisoned?" Feng Hai muttered in surprise.
Feng Yuanliang said nothing and slowly shook his head.
He was the best at poisoning. Zhu San's body was intact, and there was not even bloodshot eyes, let alone any bleeding from the seven orifices, which was definitely not a symptom of poisoning.
"I'm afraid he died of internal injuries. Who could let Zhu San suffer such serious internal injuries?" Han Song analyzed with a frown.
Feng Yuanliang still shook his head.
He had already sensed that Zhu San had no internal injuries and was neatly dressed without any signs of a fight.
This man died in an extremely strange way, as if he had died in his sleep.
With such a strange way of death, Feng Yuanliang initially suspected Zuo Linglong and questioned him personally. As a result, Zuo Linglong had no knowledge of Zhu San's death.
Is Zuo Linglong lying, or is the murderer someone else?
Feng Yuanliang's heart was in turmoil.
Apart from Zuo Linglong, the most suspicious ones are the two foundation builders Tao Hu and Xu Aogu who have been sitting on the second floor all day without showing up.
The former, Feng Yuanliang, knew the details well and was probably not the murderer. As for the latter, he drank his unique poisonous tea a day ago. Even if the poison was suppressed, it was not easy to fully recover. It would be difficult to kill such a deeply poisoned foundation-building monk.
It is not difficult for a Qi practitioner, but it is difficult to make Zhu San die quietly.
Who on earth is it……
Feng Yuanliang frowned.
Zhu San's body soon attracted other guests staying in the hotel, and the Tengshe tribe, horse bandit mercenaries and others gathered in the lobby one after another.
Feng Yuanliang's eyes swept through the crowd one by one, and Luo San's horse bandits and Granny Yu's mercenaries both became the targets of his suspicion.
The crowd was talking a lot.
"Dead?"
"How did you die? You were killed?"
"Who is so bold that he would even dare to kill people from the Chamber of Commerce? He is very courageous."
"How many cowards dare to come to Linglong Inn? Someone will die. What's the big deal?"
"The identity of the person who died is not simple. Please keep your voice down. People who are not looking at the Chamber of Commerce will look bad. They may be in trouble."
It was just a dead person, everyone present had seen it, but the person who died was a core figure of the Chamber of Commerce, and they were destined not to let it go.
Seeing everyone gathered, Feng Yuanliang's eyes flashed coldly, and he said in a deep voice: "Zhu San was a good friend of mine. He died tragically here today. As the president, I cannot absolve myself from the blame. Our Chamber of Commerce has also done business of killing people, and we retaliate for it."
That's all, it's fair and reasonable, if you dare to kill my people, you must be prepared to be killed."
When Feng Yuanliang said these words, his eyes swept across everyone's faces, and he wanted to take the opportunity to find the murderer.
The result disappointed him.
Although everyone had different expressions, and some were even frightened, it was by no means the worry and timidity typical of people who commit murder.
Either the murderer was not among the crowd, or the murderer had already committed many murders and did not care about the threat at all.
Feng Yuanliang nodded and said: "I have written down this account and carried it out."
Merchants traveling in various countries will not carry corpses along with them. They will bury their dead bodies in a foreign land. This is the rule of the Tianmang Chamber of Commerce. If you grab a handful of the loess from the burial ground and bring it back to the deceased's hometown, it will be considered as a fallen leaf returning to its roots.
As soon as the people from the Chamber of Commerce lifted up the body, they heard a grunt and Zhu San's head rolled to the side!
At the same time as the head fell, a gust of cold wind blew up between the head and the body, and then blood spurted out and spread all over the ground.
Everyone was shocked.
The few who carried the corpse were so frightened that they crawled around. They thought the murderer was out and cut off the head of the corpse. In fact, the corpse and the head had been separated for a long time, but if no one moved, it would still look like a whole body.
There were many experts present, and some saw clues about the corpse.
"It cuts off the head without dismembering the body. It's such a fast knife." Lao He said in surprise.
"The corpse has already been divided into two parts, but there is sword energy between the head and the corpse. The person who did it is very skillful." Chi Wu said fearfully, the cold wind blowing up from the corpse just now was the sword energy.
"The sword passes without leaving a trace, it's extremely fast... What a great swordsmanship!" Feng Yuanliang gritted his teeth and was secretly shocked.
This sword energy is strange and unpredictable. The person who wielded the sword has terrible sword skills. After one blow, he can completely leave the sword energy in the corpse and seal the blood flow. From the outside, the corpse looks like there are no wounds. Even Feng Yuanliang has no wounds.
See the truth about the cause of death.
Now that the head rolled down and the sword energy had dissipated, everyone knew that Zhu San had been decapitated and killed by a sword.
Yunji sat aside and looked at the corpse with great interest. He was ready to be a qualified audience and only watch the show without making noises.
On the other side, Luo San's expression was different from others. There was a deep fear hidden in his eyes, and he muttered one word repeatedly: "The sword passes without leaving a trace, the knife passes without leaving a trace..."
The sun sets over the western mountains and the sky becomes dark.
No one moved in the dim inn, and the servants in white were nowhere to be seen. There were no candles, and the blue water droplets embedded in the ceiling gradually gave off a cold blue light, making the atmosphere in the lobby even colder.
The murderous intent is getting stronger.
Feng Yuanliang said solemnly: "I heard that the sword on the battlefield is the sharpest, killing people without blood..."
Before he finished speaking, the sword flashed and went straight to the mercenary side.
Lao He raised the knife almost subconsciously.
Years of killing experience on the battlefield made him accustomed to making blocking movements. The sword light was blocked, and Lao He's knife flew away. His whole body was shocked and hit the wall with a loud bang.
If he hadn't raised the knife in advance, he would have died on the spot.
Feng Yuanliang suddenly killed the mercenaries, which no one expected.
What's even more shocking is that Feng Yuanliang's shot was a flying sword. The sword body attacked the enemy on its own without anyone moving.
Qi practitioners cannot master the art of wielding a sword. They can only do it by building up the foundation and cultivating it.
"Foundation Establishment Realm..." Grandma Yu said with a gloomy face, "President Feng is planning to use us as scapegoats. Lao He's sword is very fast, but not so fast that it can kill without a trace."
"You yourselves know best whether you are the person you killed." Feng Yuanliang said coldly: "Since we, the Tianmang Chamber of Commerce, are regarded as thieves of the country, you loyal and abandoned mercenaries should kill the country's thieves in anger, not the people you killed.
, who could it be?"
Feng Yuanliang couldn't find the murderer, but he could find the people who hated Tianmang Chamber of Commerce, namely mercenaries like Granny Yu and Lao He.
"Thieves who steal the country do deserve to die. Since they are on our heads, it's okay." Granny Yu stopped defending and grinned, saying: "President Feng is a master of foundation building. It must be easy to kill a few Qi practitioners. We are not
If you have more, you can kill them all quickly, but you have to act quickly, otherwise you may not be able to save the cattle and sheep outside."
After Granny Yu finished speaking, the other mercenaries immediately scattered around, each holding a sword. Some were ready to fight, some were ready to break out, and some were hiding behind their companions, waiting for opportunities. It was obvious that they were well-trained and dedicated to their missions.
