The people in Lanzhou City are immersed in the joy of the first clear weather after the snow, but in the Zhongshan Martial Arts Center, it is gloomy and solemn. Eleven warriors were killed in the snowy night, and all clues have been lost in the heavy snow.
Cover up. Everyone in the dojo is suspected, making everyone in the dojo in danger.
This is what Elder Zhong said. Everyone is suspicious. No one dares to have the slightest suspicion.
Zhong Huangyu followed Ling Tianyun with a gloomy expression, constantly walking around the dojo trying to find any new clues.
But Ling Tianyun had no burden in his heart, and he only had a day or two. He began to think that this was a frame-up drama arranged by Zhong Huangyu, in order to have a good excuse to kill himself. But
Now it seems that it is obviously not the case, but this seems to be beyond Zhong Huangyu's control.
Detecting crimes and investigating murders is not Ling Tianyun's specialty. He is just a little scout. He once suggested asking police officers from the Lanzhou City government to come to assist, but Zhong Huangyu refused, and he refused very hard.
Thoroughly. According to Zhong Huangyu's original words, Ling Tianyun must find the real culprit by himself, otherwise he will be punished on the spot as the real culprit.
After wandering around all morning, he still found nothing, which made Ling Tianyun very discouraged. Zhong Huangyu had stopped following him for a long time, but the ones who had been following him closely were still the eldest young master of the Zhong family, Zhong Jianhong, and
That Zhong Tong. For some reason, after Zhong Huai's death, Ling Tianyun didn't notice that the sadness on Zhong Tong's face seemed a little weird. But his expression was so stiff, as if he was wearing a human-shaped mask.
.
Those outposts at night can be eliminated because they are related to each other and can monitor each other. There are still about thirty people left who can be used as suspects, except for those who are not very high in cultivation.
In the end, there were only about ten people left. There were the "Eight Great Vajras" of the Zhong family whom Ling Tianyun met when he first entered the dojo, Zhong Huangyu, the eldest elder of the Zhong family, and Zhong Jianhong, who didn't know the details.
As for Zhong Tong, Ling Tianyun was the first to be eliminated. Although he had not fought with him, Zhong Tong's martial arts realm was at the early stage of the inner strength realm at most. The others were the cooks and grooms in the martial arts field.
There are only four people, their martial arts level is not high, and they are not too old, so these four people can basically be eliminated.
There were only a few people left, but Ling Tianyun still looked for those warriors to understand what happened that night, but did not get any useful clues. Maybe they were full of hostility towards Ling Tianyun and did not actively cooperate, or maybe they really
No helpful clues were found.
Since there are no clues, Ling Tianyun is not in a hurry. Anyway, if he extends his head or shrinks his head, he will do the same thing. He occasionally gets to know the situation with the martial arts masters who stay in the martial arts gym, and most often he is here with Zhong Jian, the eldest son of the Zhong family.
Walking around in the snow-covered martial arts gym.
Another day passed, and Ling Tianyun didn't seem to care that he was in crisis. He ate and drank as much as he could. Many warriors in the dojo criticized him. But they couldn't do anything about him.
The elders had spoken, and they didn't bother him.
At noon on the second day, the snow was still very thick and had not melted completely. There were still vast expanse of snow fields everywhere.
A pot of strong wine and a few side dishes became Ling Tianyun's first lunch in this martial arts gym. Of course, his companion was the Zhong family's father, Zhong Jianhong, but the location was not only in a small pavilion behind the martial arts gym, but
Not on that narrow turret.
There is a large pond next to the small pavilion. The pond is full of broken branches and leaves, covered by the white snow. Under the sunlight, streams of white steam curl up from the pond. In fact, this snow queen
There was nothing good to see in the vast expanse of Chuqing, everything was white, but Zhong Jianhong had to drag Ling Tianyun to this place.
Ling Tianyun really didn't know what was so good about this place. The snow began to absorb the surrounding heat and began to slowly melt. From time to time, there would be gusts of cold wind. Even if Ling Tianyun had the internal strength to resist, he still felt chilly.
It was overwhelming. But Zhong Jianhong was wrapped tightly in a fine fur robe.
"Brother Ling doesn't seem to be worried at all. I'm worried about you, brother."
Zhong Jianhong raised his wine glass, touched it with Ling Tianyun, and drank it all in one gulp.
"Well, what can you do if you are anxious? You can't escape death anyway, so why not have a drink." There was no sadness or anger in Ling Tianyun's eyes at all, instead he was filled with pride and a free and easy mind.
He grabbed the wine bottle and took a swig into his mouth. He felt that the good wine entered his throat with a mellow aroma. The wine was very dry and spicy. He didn't know how many times it was better than yesterday's wine.
"Brother Ling is so heroic, I admire you."
Zhong Jianhong expressed his sincere appreciation and drank another drink.
"Brother Zhong brought me here not only to drink from this beautiful bar, but this wine is a thousand times better than yesterday." Ling Tianyun held up the jug without putting it down. He knew that Zhong Jianhong must have something to say.
, and there were only two of them at this time.
"Oh, I don't mean to invite Brother Ling here. I just want to drink some real wine with Brother Ling and enjoy the beautiful scenery under the snow-capped fields."
Only the thumb and index finger of Zhong Jianhong's right hand are exposed, squeezing the wine glass, while his other fingers are deeply hidden in his sleeves. His movements will make people marvel at him, so elegant and perfect.
, this man is simply a born aristocrat. And the Zhong family is a martial arts family, but how do they cultivate this young man who is all elegant and well-behaved?
Ling Tianyun didn't specifically observe the opponent's hands. He just felt that the alcohol was many times stronger than yesterday's, but today's Zhong Jianhong had the same amount of alcohol as him. Yesterday's low-altitude drink was even more powerful than him.
I didn’t have a few drinks, but today I drank one cup after another.
"Brother Zhong, it actually doesn't matter who the murderer is. I'm just destined to be the scapegoat. It's just that I still have some questions."
A bottle of wine was poured into Ling Tianyun's stomach. His eyes flashed as he looked at the other party and said.
"Brother Ling, please speak." Zhong Jianhong was still so elegant, sitting on the bench in the small pavilion, leaning forward. This was a good posture, and no one could notice anything wrong.
When Ling Tianyun saw this, his pupils shrank slightly. This gesture seemed unintentional, but in fact it was not. The opponent's limbs and body were in perfect harmony. This is what a true master possesses.
Habit. But Zhong Jianhong didn't seem to be around today so that Ling Tianyun would find out about this. Instead, he deliberately let the other party find out.
"You should know this." Ling Tianyun took out the jade pendant from his arms and placed it on the table. He looked at the other person, trying to figure out something from the other person's reaction.
"Yes, this is the jade pendant that was lost in the martial arts field." The other party's tone was very calm and calm, as if all this was expected by him.
Seeing the other party's answer and his calm demeanor, Ling Tianyun felt relieved, and his guess was confirmed.
"I don't know when Brother Ling became suspicious of me."
"I once met a girl, the girl that the people in your ashram are looking for. At that time, I never understood why the old monk and I were regarded as bandits as soon as we came out of 'One Line of Sky', and
We also went to that village with Qin Zhengyang. In fact, Brother Zhong, you set up all this. This jade pendant is simply an ordinary jade pendant."
"Oh, what else did Brother Ling discover?" Zhong Jianhong continued to ask without objecting or agreeing.
"The jade pendant hanging under Brother Zhong's waist is very similar to the jade pendant hanging under the girl's waist, so I began to doubt Brother Zhong. But why did Brother Zhong use this trick to graft on another? Su Wen Zhong
My young master is a charming and suave man, so it is understandable that he fell in love with a foreign girl at first sight. It’s just that he became a victim of your use."
Ling Tianyun's tone became sharp, and he continued: "I have always been very puzzled as to why a young master from a martial arts family was raised to have an elegant and meticulous aristocratic temperament. In fact, these are all pretended by Brother Zhong, right.
"
"It's wonderful, it's really wonderful, but these are just your guesses. I just can't figure out why you took it out so early when this jade pendant can obviously be used to save your life."
Zhong Jianhong was lying on the bench. If he hadn't held the wine glass in his hand, he would have almost clapped his hands.
"Yes, all this is just speculation. My father once told me that no matter how perfect the layout is, there will always be flaws, but we haven't found it yet."
A ray of light is currently shining out of the Lingtian Yunxing, which is meditating or missing.
"Oh, then Brother Ling told me about the murder last night. What are the flaws?"
Zhong Jianhong has already exposed his two slender palms. The five fingers on the palms are as slender as a woman's, soft and boneless, like a pair of perfect hands.
"Of course there are flaws. Although the flaws at the scene were all covered up by the heavy snow, there was still one flaw at the time. That was yesterday's wine. I've heard of a drug that is really colorless and tasteless. Even the most innate masters can't.
You will be fascinated by it. But it has a shortcoming, that is, it uses the smell of human blood as a medicine." Ling Tianyun said slowly, then paused, and he took a step forward gently, as if
Take that step forward unconsciously.
"Oh, I am really ignorant. There is such a medicine in the world. I don't know what its name is."
Zhong Jianhong didn't care at all about Ling Tianyun's steps forward. He still held the wine glass very elegantly. He held the wine glass between his thumb and index finger of his right hand and gently put it to his lips. He raised his head and drank the glass of wine in one gulp.
"This medicine has a very nice name called 'A Touch of Yanhong'. It is said to be a medicine that was accidentally refined in the Medicine King Valley. However, the Medicine King Valley was inadvertently annihilated by a killer organization, and this medicine just started
It has been spread throughout the world. However, there are only four cases of death due to this, and they were all innately supreme masters."
After Ling Tianyun finished speaking, he took another step forward, and the wine bottle in his hand was missing half of the wine.
"Brother Ling is really knowledgeable and knowledgeable. He even knows the secrets of this kind of world, and he talks about it like home. I also drank that wine at that time. How can I explain it? If I really want to harm Brother Ling, I will not tell Ling so sincerely.
Brother, I have said so much." Zhong Jianhong had already stood up from the bench at this time. He took a wine bottle and filled the wine glass in his hand, and then raised his head and asked Ling Tianyun.
"As I said, this drug is induced by the smell of human blood. Brother Zhong will be fine if he doesn't smell the smell of blood, and the potency of this medicine only lasts for six or seven hours. Of course Brother Zhong will be fine.
I also know that this medicine is a useless thing, so there are very few users, so there are fewer people suffering from this medicine, so there is only one place in the world where this medicine exists."
Ling Tianyun poured the wine from the jug in his hand into his stomach without missing a drop. He tossed the jug gently. The jug turned into a beautiful arc and fell into the pond, "Clang!"
After a few sounds, the wine bottle slipped on the ice above the pond and hit a large rock. It bounced back and rolled several times before stopping.
At this time, there was only one jug of wine left on the table. Zhong Jianhong drank the glass of wine in his hand and immediately grabbed the jug with both hands. The slender five fingers turned into a blur of finger shadows in the air, like lightning.
With such speed, his five fingers had already landed on the handle of the wine. He smiled because he had firmly grasped the last bottle of wine.
He also threw the wine glass in his hand, and it landed right next to the wine jug. His eyes looked at the only jug of wine held by his left hand, and his cheerful smile suddenly froze.
Because he saw a thick and strong palm pressing on the lid of the wine bottle, and the owner of the big hand was looking at him with a warm smile.
