Hearing Shen Lang praise the "supernatural detective", Zhu Hu nodded first, then shook his head:
"Old Zhao is my husband. With more than ten years of experience, what weird things have he not seen before? It is not difficult for him to deduce the details of the murderer and reconstruct the assassination process.
"But this is of little use. There are no sword masters in Changsheng County. The murderer is probably an outsider. He must have gone far away by now. I'm afraid there is no chance to find him."
In fact, even if the identity and location of the murderer can be immediately identified, the police, government officials, and soldiers will only do their jobs and will never rush to hunt down the murderer.
Why bother for a perverted scumbag like Zhao Mengshan to face a master of swordsmanship who is good at setting up traps and concealing assassinations?
It's very dangerous and can kill people.
Therefore, in Zhu Hu's view, there is a high probability that this eucalyptus will become a headless eucalyptus.
Shen Lang whispered:
"In that case, why did the county magistrate rush to summon us all? He also mobilized the county soldiers and put on such a big show of eagerness to break the news?"
Zhu Hu curled his lips:
"Do you think the county magistrate really cares about Zhao Mengshan's life and death? He came all night and made a big show of it, just to express his attitude and not give the Yingguo government an excuse to express his anger."
As he was talking, the county magistrate standing far away asked:
"Have you found any clues?"
Lao Wuzuo took his apprentice and went out of the circle with Lao Zhao, went to the county magistrate, reconstructed their inferences and the situation, and reported everything to the county magistrate.
After the county magistrate tugged his beard and pondered for a while, Lao Zhao said again:
"Except for the practice hall, there seems to be no trace of the murderer sneaking in or out anywhere else. This proves that the murderer is also a master of stealth.
“Not only is he a vicious swordsman, he is also good at finding secret rooms, setting up traps, and is extremely skilled in sneaking and ambush assassinations.
"In addition, there is a secret book of "Tiger Claw Kung Fu" placed on the low couch in the practice hall, but the murderer did not take it away.
"Even though the secret book contains many cryptic words that are difficult to decipher, ordinary amateur assassins, faced with such a valuable fourth-level skill, will take it away easily. But the murderer will
He didn't even move, looking extremely professional.
"All of the above seem to be the professional qualities that only professional killers possess."
The county magistrate frowned:
"Professional killer? Could it be... sent by the 'Killer Guild' under the Blood Shadow Cult?"
The county magistrate is wise!
Shen Lang praised in his heart.
Lao Zhao and Lao Wu looked at each other. Although they felt that it was inappropriate to rush to a conclusion in such a hurry, since it was Zhao Mengshan who died...
"The county magistrate is wise! This killer is so professional. He must be from the Blood Shadow Sect's 'Assassin's Guild'!"
Lao Zhao and Lao Wuzuo immediately clasped their fists and slapped their horses. Zhu Hu also joined in the fun and said that the county magistrate is wise.
The county magistrate still frowned:
"Doesn't it mean that the killer's martial arts skills are not very high?"
Old Zhao said solemnly:
"A killer assassin is different from a martial artist.
"Assassins use all possible means to kill people. They collect intelligence, sneak and ambush, make mental calculations but not intentional, and set up layers of traps...
"With all kinds of means, it is not impossible to defeat the big with the small and defeat the strong with the weak.
"There are even assassins who are good at traps or using poison. Even if they don't know martial arts, they still have a chance to kill a fifth- and sixth-grade warrior."
The county magistrate asked again:
"Then how did the explosives get in without leaving any traces? Look at the traces of damage in this hall. The explosive gunpowder must have weighed at least several dozen kilograms, right?"
Old Zhao said in a deep voice:
"It must be a Taoist or witchcraft method provided by the killer organization!
"I once heard that there are Taoist techniques that can reduce the size of dead objects to one-tenth. Although the maintenance time is very short, the assassin's stealthy movement is enough to reduce the size by nine times within the maintenance time.
The completed explosives were easily transported into the secret room."
The county magistrate then straightened his brows and tugged his beard and said:
"Then it seems that this crime is really the work of the elite killer of the Blood Shadow Cult! So, can this crime be concluded?"
Lao Zhao and others said in unison:
"It all depends on the county's honor."
The county magistrate sighed and said:
"Then let's conclude this.
"Oh, that Blood Shadow cult is so pervasive and so insane. Not long after Mr. Mu left Changsheng County, he was hunting down the cultists in Yingzhou. They actually dared to kill people and cause trouble in Changsheng County!
"At dawn tomorrow, I will personally write an official document and send someone to report this to the city, requesting the governor to issue a sea arrest document to hunt down the assassins of the Blood Shadow Cult and seek justice for Zhao Mengshan, a kind gentleman who died innocently!"
When Lao Zhao and Zhu Hu heard this, they couldn't help but rolled their eyes secretly:
To hunt down the assassins of the Blood Shadow Cult, do you still need to go to sea to capture documents?
Mr. Mu has already personally taken action and put the assassins of the Blood Shadow Cult on his must-kill list!
However, the county magistrate's decision made Lao Zhao and others breathe a sigh of relief.
Again, why bother seeking justice for the "good gentleman" Zhao Mengshan?
Just blame it on the Blood Shadow Cult.
Anyway, if Mrs. Zhao Jiaru of the Duke of Ying wants to avenge her brother, she will go to the Duke of Ying and cry and ask him to provide money and people to find the Blood Shadow Cult and fight to the death!
Changsheng County will not allow you to accompany me.
Hearing that the county magistrate had such an affair, Shen Lang would of course only praise the county magistrate for his wisdom, and would never say that he was a bad official.
Because in this way, his official job can be temporarily saved, and he does not have to live in exile.
Although the decision had been made, the county magistrate did not immediately evacuate the troops. He still ordered everyone to continue searching in and outside the Zhao Mansion with great fanfare, and even sent people to search for clues in various streets and alleys, and even inside and outside the city gate.
In any case, the attitude of rigorous investigation must still be adopted, and the Duke of Ying must not be caught with an excuse to show his anger.
Shen Lang, Zhu Hu and others were trapped in Zhao Mansion.
The county magistrate himself did not leave. He found a study room, borrowed Zhao's pen, ink, paper and inkstone, and began to follow Lao Zhao's rhetoric at noon and write love documents himself, preparing to send capable officials there at dawn.
Go to Fucheng and present it to the Lord of the Fucheng.
In fact, such a murder can usually be concluded in this county. Afterwards, you only need to go to the Yamen Hall and hand in a filing document. The noble man is busy and has many things to do, so it is simply impossible.
Take another look at documents like this.
But who told Zhao Mengshan that his status was extraordinary?
The county magistrate did not dare to confine his murdered son to Changsheng County.
Even if the master of the palace is indifferent to Zhao Mengshan's life and death, for the sake of Duke Ying, he still has to pretend to care about it.
Shen Lang thought that this matter would just go away.
At most, the next thing will be a back-and-forth between the county government, the government government and the Duke of Ying's government, and then involve the Blood Shadow Cult.
Unexpectedly, just when he followed Zhu Hu and wandered aimlessly in the Zhao Mansion until dawn, and was about to collect the team and go home, things would turn upside down again.
Two servants of the Zhao family actually brought someone from the Yingguo Duke's family to meet the county magistrate.
"Zhang Wenbin, the shogunate friend of the Duke of Ying, pays homage to the county magistrate."
The visitor seemed to be "Mr. Zhang" who had been to the Zhao Mansion a few days ago and conveyed to Young Master Zhao the instructions given by Duke Ying.
