Hua Manlou nodded: "Then what we need to do is to find out the truth."
He didn't ask Su Yang any more. His mind was clearer than most people's. The only effective way to find out the truth was to find a thread that could be started from among the thousands of clues. , follow the thread and unravel it bit by bit.
The first thread is Cui Cheng.
Cui Cheng was the handler of the Qunying Escort Agency and the only survivor of this incident. He was still alive at least a month ago. When he was found in a pothole in an inn, he was unconscious and dying.
The famous doctor Ye Xingshi personally checked his injuries. There were six stab wounds on his body. Although he was unconscious due to excessive bleeding, fortunately the injuries were not critical. As long as he could find a safe place for him to rest for three to five days, Ye Xingshi could guarantee that He will definitely regain consciousness.
Ye Xingshi is the only lay disciple of Shaolin Commander Iron Fan. He is also one of the four famous doctors with a long-standing reputation in the world. His medical skills are superb and recognized throughout the world.
Then he was sent to an absolutely safe place to recuperate. He had to pass through five tightly guarded iron gates to enter the secret room. The Central Plains heroes Xiong Tianjian and Eagle Eye Lao Qi, as well as several equally famous masters in the world, This place is guarded so that not even a fly can enter without the consent of all of them.
The background of this escort trip is extremely high. Of course, all the sponsors are well-known people with high status in the world. Almost all of the nine major gangs and seven major sects of the Central Plains martial arts are implicated.
According to Cheng Zhong, the leader of the Third Village of Twelve Links Wu who was responsible for taking care of Cui Cheng, Cui Cheng actually woke up once, drank half a bowl of ginseng soup, had his hand healed once, and changed medicine before he fell asleep. Xiao Hongzhu, the wife of Eagle Eye Laoqi, also said that there was no blood in Cui Cheng's feces and he could barely speak. He also looked at her and smiled.
Cheng Zhong was sincere and prudent, and had some medical skills. Xiao Hongzhu was gentle, smart, and attentive. The four walls of the secret room were made of solid granite. Not only were there people guarding the iron gate all day long, but they were also equipped with A large iron lock made by a famous craftsman. No one can open it except the two keys secretly kept by Xiao Hongzhu and Eagle Eye Laoqi.
Originally, it seemed that a breakthrough could be found through Cui Cheng. As long as he could speak, we could not wait any longer. Even Prince Taiping came with his bodyguards.
Even the crown prince of King Taiping couldn't be dissatisfied with Cui Cheng's protection. Not even a fly could fly into this place.
But when they passed through the five iron gates and entered the secret room, they found that Cui Cheng was dead!
Xiao Hongzhu and Cheng Zhong are also dead!
There were no wounds or blood marks on their bodies, but their bodies were cold and stiff.
According to Ye Xingshi's judgment, they had been dead for at least an hour and a half. They were killed by a sharp knife with an extremely thin blade. One cut was fatal.
The people guarding the secret room have been with Hawkeye Laoqi for more than ten years, and they are all his close confidants. They swear to heaven that during these two hours, except for Mrs. Xiao and Chief Cheng, there will never be anyone else. Three people came and went.
There are thirty-six people in this group of defenders. Of course, what the thirty-six people said cannot be all lies.
So how did the murderer get in?
"Yes, how did the murderer get in?" Lu Xiaofeng also walked into the house.
"Of course you can't fly in." Hua Manlou said with a smile: "All seemingly unusual phenomena and unbelievable things often have a very simple reason. There is a door. Naturally, you push the door in.
Just like the theft case of Pingnan Palace that you encountered."
He continued: "But that's not the point."
Su Yang nodded: "Yes, if I do something bad, I will definitely leave a mystery that seems to have huge doubts but is completely unsolvable to attract other people's attention, and make others ignore the things that really need to be investigated in the incident.
clue."
"What clues do we really need to investigate?" Lu Xiaofeng asked.
"That's right. Since only three people have entered this house and two of them are dead, naturally we have to ask the one who is still alive, Ye Shixing." Su Yang said: "Besides, there is one more thing that I need your help with.
"
"What?"
"The three of us, no, it should be said to be the five of us, will be inseparable from now on, because the other party has a great master, and I am not sure how to deal with him alone."
Lu Xiaofeng raised her eyebrows: "Master? How tall?"
"It's very, very high. Maybe the three of us together can barely be as tall as him." Su Yang said.
Lu Xiaofeng's expression became a little cautious: "You asked me to go find Ximen before, so I went."
"oh?"
"He is at Wanmei Villa and has been there for the past six months." Lu Xiaofeng said.
"I just hope that Ye Shixing is still alive when we go." Su Yang knew very well in his heart that even if Ye Shixing was still alive, it was almost as good as dead.
...
There are only dark clouds in the sky, dark clouds that drift with the strong wind.
A lamp is like a bean. The lamp is placed on the table in the center of the hall.
The person is sitting on a chair behind the table, and there is paper, pen and ink on the table.
Su Yang walked towards the center of the hall and said, "Ye Xingshi?"
The man didn't speak or move. He was sitting in a dark corner, like a statue of a god.
Lu Xiaofeng rushed to the man's side, raised two fingers and pushed his shoulder. The man fell down, and he was obviously dead.
Only then did everyone see clearly that this man was actually Ge Tong, the Ge Tong who was open to all roads, the Ge Tong who was hidden in the belly of Maitreya Buddha on the island.
Ge Tong has three bright white needles inserted side by side.
Ye Shixing is the best in medical skills, but he is also a disciple of Master Iron Fan, so his martial arts skills are naturally not weak. His weapon is the silver needle.
"Ye Shixing killed him?" Lu Xiaofeng asked curiously.
"Why did Ye Shixing kill him?" Hua Manlou thought one step closer.
At this moment, footsteps suddenly came from the back hall, and everyone followed the sound to the back hall, where they saw a black figure climbing over the wall and crossing the courtyard, and just disappeared at the top of the wall.
"Chase!"
The black shadow's martial arts is not weak, but it is not too strong either, at least in terms of light skills. Su Yang, Lu Xiaofeng and Hua Manlou can easily follow him.
And the man didn't seem to be in a hurry to escape. He even looked back every time he ran, as if he was waiting for them on purpose. Thinking about the sound coming from the backyard before, Su Yang even had a feeling.
People deliberately wait for people like themselves, take them somewhere, and have something to tell themselves while they are alive.
This person seemed to be the real Ye Shixing, but why did he want to kill Ge Tong? Why couldn't he say something at his home instead of attracting people like him to the wilderness?
Temple, a dilapidated mountain temple. The black shadow reached the open space in front of the temple and suddenly stopped. (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to come to Qidian.com to vote for recommendations and monthly votes. Your support is my greatest support.
