"I found out that this person not only hid his whole body, but also sprinkled deodorant powder on his body to remove body odor. This shows that this person is extremely cautious. Also, look here"
Xia Houji took Zhou Yu back to the window that Wei He had stepped on when he left.
He pointed to the slight trace of damage left on the window.
"This is where the attackers should have used their strength to escape. Look, the damage to the window lattice here should have been left by stepping forward with their boots and using their strength to leap."
Zhou Yugui walked over to take a look, and sure enough, if he looked carefully, he could find the direction of the damage. Only the method and direction of force mentioned by Xia Houji could cause it.
Xiahou Ji continued: "In other words, the murderer left from here, and many guests saw the direction in which he left.
Combined with the physical skills he showed when he attacked Mr. Yan before, it can be seen that this person's leg skills are not weak.
Therefore, the top priority now is to find out if there are any traces of the force-leap in the forest when the attack occurred.
If not, go and see who is staying on the Chidao in that direction at that time? It will be much more efficient to check them one by one along this direction."
"But doesn't this require a lot of people to be investigated?" Zhou Yugui frowned.
There are so many people coming and going on this road, how do you check and know who is parked in that direction at that time period?
"Actually, it's not that much." Xiahou Ji smiled confidently, "This is Zhongling Villa, and this forest and the nearby road lead to the Villa.
First check for traces in the woods. If there are no results, then check for people who came in and out of the villa during that time.
After all, most of the people who came in and out of the villa were calm and gentle. They either came to watch the ceremony and enjoy the scenery, or they were people who participated in the martial arts contest to recruit relatives at that time. Or they were people who just left the villa.
Most of them have a stable speed. From that section of road, there will be a fixed time for arriving at the villa and leaving the villa.
For such an investigation, I only need to ask the concierge of the villa who came in and out during that time. Then I will find some tall and unusual people among them. A rough calculation shows that there are only a few dozen people at most. When the time comes, I will select among these people.
, combined with the traces found and physical skills, calculate the approximate body size range and identify the murderer."
Zhou Yugui suddenly felt enlightened. After doing this calculation, he only had to interrogate dozens of people, which was indeed much more convenient.
"The head catcher is really talented!" He quickly clasped his fists in joy.
"Don't worry, if that person escapes immediately after one blow, or if he has some strange skills in practice, then I can't do anything. I can only give a high probability inference, so don't blame me if you can't find anyone by then.
You don't do anything if you take money." Xiahou Ji said with a smile.
"The head hunter is too humble. Even if no one can be found, these analyzes are enough to give the Lishan Sect an answer." Zhou Yugui said seriously.

In the blink of an eye, more than a month has passed.
Snap.
The chess pieces landed heavily on the chessboard, causing the entire stone chessboard to shake violently.
In the woods, Wei He and the old man in blue robe played chess again.
The two of them played chess like the wind, making moves very quickly. Almost as soon as the other party finished playing, he would make a move at the same time.
After a while, Wei He's expression remained normal and he took back his hand.
"Cheng Rong." He smiled and looked up to the opposite side.
The old man opposite looked unkind and raised his eyes from the chessboard.
"People who don't know, when they see you, they think you won."
"Senior, don't worry too much. Victory and defeat are common matters for military strategists." Wei He said with a smile.
"I want to hit someone after seeing this!" the old man said angrily. Although he won the chess game, he didn't know why, he just felt unhappy.
"Senior, let's be honest, have you ever entered the house and seen those things of mine?" Wei He said suddenly.
"" The old man paused, "What? So what if you see it, so what if you don't see it?"
"Then it depends on the senior's attitude?" Wei He asked rhetorically.
Although others cannot understand the things in his house, the living animals in the cages used for experiments can be judged by normal people at a glance.
That's why he asked this question.
After all, these days, biological experiments are really unacceptable to most people.
"What? If I can't stand it, are you going to kill someone and silence me?" the old man asked.
"" Wei He didn't reply, he just smiled.
In the end, neither of them knew the details of the other's strength.
Warriors are a wonderful group. Before entering the Jin Dynasty, everyone can see at a glance who is strong and who is weak. They can roughly judge their level based on their body shape, breath, and blood.
But after entering the energy, all kinds of energy have extraordinary effects.
Some people in their fifties can still look like young people without any trace, like Wan Ling.
Some people are only in their thirties, but they may cultivate powerful internal energy that harms the body, but they may look old.
Therefore, neither the old man nor Wei He had the intention to use force easily.
Last time the old man left suddenly and showed off his body skills, he might not have used his body skills to test Wei He's attitude.
If Wei He had shown fear at that time, then there might not have been such a reunion.
When the old man was angry, he might turn around and beat Wei He to death on the spot.
To put it bluntly, no one knows what level of strength the opponent has before taking action.
So the more this happens, the harder it is to do it easily.
Anyone who dares to wander around alone in these barren mountains and ridges has a fuel-efficient lamp.
"From the last time you drugged me silently, I can see that your nature is quite poisonous. Fortunately, the amount of drug you drugged was not heavy, it just made people dizzy and wanted to affect my thinking of playing chess, so I didn't
Do it. But you don’t think I’m afraid of you, so I won’t be rough, do you?”
The old man's face shrank, like a suddenly wrinkled orange peel.
Wei He sighed: "Senior is really on the road to poison, and is better than the younger generation. If it were another person, he would just think that his consciousness was occasionally in a trance.
After all, people will always have their thoughts wandering around. I just use medicine to aggravate the process."
"The technique is admirable, but the marks are too heavy." The old man said.
"Traces?" Wei He's heart moved.
"Yes, true and false, false and false, false and true, the alternation of yin and yang, the proportion depends entirely on your own mind. Mr. Wei, although you have some attainments now, in the eyes of a true expert, you are still far from it." The old man sneered.
"So that's it." Wei He suddenly realized, "He is indeed the old man from Jiuying who made people fearful twenty years ago. The senior's attainments in toxicology amaze the juniors."
Okay, now, you two tell me my details, and I will reveal your identity.
Apparently everyone had checked each other after returning, and the words were exchanged, and they were evenly matched again.
"Okay, we can even find out this." The sneer on the old man Jiuying's face subsided.
Old Man Jiuying, a master of evil who was rampant in Xuanjing City twenty years ago, is a strong man who has left records in the official annals.
The two of them each leaked the details, fell silent for a moment, and soon began to sneer again.
Before, neither of them knew each other's background and didn't dare to take action. But now they have found something, and they both feel that they can do it.
"You're just in the inner courtyard of Tianyinmen, and you dare to talk to me like this. Do you really think that I don't dare to kill you?" Old Man Jiuying said coldly.
"Kill me? I'm afraid you don't have the ability." Wei He retorted.
The two couldn't stop talking and sneered at each other again.
The old man Jiuying is not a fool. Judging from the results of the investigation, the man in front of him is just a Wanqingyuan martial artist who has lost his strength. Logically speaking, his strength is not as good as some strong three-blooded ones.
But not to mention anything else, from the first time he saw this kid, he could sense that he was not as weak as a martial artist who had practiced martial arts due to his swift movements and faint energy and blood fluctuations when he moved.
Looking at his insidious ways of poisoning while playing chess and his methods, you can see his true nature. This person is accustomed to hiding, and his superficial weak identity is obviously a cover.
He has lived for so many years and has never seen anyone. He can tell the truth as soon as he hears it.
There is absolutely no way this kid can lose his strength! That kind of abundant energy and blood is completely contrary to common sense, and can even be said to be too strong.
This is also the reason why he didn't take action from beginning to end.
After all, he is old and his energy and blood have dropped drastically. Although his level may be higher, in a real fight, the outcome is unknown.
Wei He, on the other hand, was extremely wary of the Nine Shadow Old Man's ability to use poison.
This old man's senses are too sharp to win with poison. In addition, he was able to run rampant in Xuanjing City twenty years ago. The entire Xuanjing City is so big and there are many masters.
To be able to leave a mark in the regional records like this in the official annals shows that this old man is definitely very capable.
Either he is cunning or cunning, or he is extremely powerful.
Therefore, we should not start the war lightly. Once we do it, we must kill it completely, otherwise there will be endless consequences.
The two of them sneered for a while, but as time went on, they gradually felt bored. They came back to this place not specifically to sneer.
"Play chess, play chess!" Jiuying said no more.
"One more set!" Wei He looked calm on the surface and was happy to lose. In fact, he struggled hard every time, trying to make a comeback against the wind, but it was a pity that he was miserable every time.
After playing chess for a while, Wei He lost three games in a row and suddenly said: "Senior Jiuying, I heard that you are a master of evil ways who were famous twenty years ago. I am a little curious, what is the scope of this evil way? Why do I come here to preach?
You've been in Jingcheng for so long and you haven't met any evil people at all?"
"Xie Dao, isn't it the abbreviation of crooked way? Anyone who practices martial arts in a deviant way can be called evil way. It's just a word that sounds powerful to show off." Jiuying replied.
He raised his head and looked at Wei He and said, "Aren't you a half-evil boy? You appear to be an upright person, but you secretly poison yourself and plot against others. You even poison a chess game. You do whatever it takes to achieve your goals. Isn't that evil enough?"
"Who told the seniors to rush in and out of the secluded place of the juniors? This is to prevent problems before they happen." Wei He said with a smile.
"Haha." Jiuying shook his head, "Evil ways, traps, poison techniques, hidden weapons, insect techniques, all those that rely on external forces instead of defeating the enemy by oneself are considered evil ways. You may have seen many people in evil ways before, but you just don't know them.
That’s all he is.”
"What about the magic way? Senior, can you clarify the confusion?" Wei He finally met an old senior who had the same path and quickly asked for advice.
Jiu Ying probably had no one to talk to, so he was lonely and had nothing to do, so he chatted with Wei He.
"The devil means chaos. Any warrior who follows his own desires, regardless of moral rules or the rules of the world, and only cares about his own happiness, can be called the devil.
But the demonic way we often talk about mainly refers to the Chaos God Cult. That group of people is mysterious and very hidden. I have never encountered them a few times, let alone understood them in depth. There is nothing to say."
"What about the Chaoshen Sect and the Xiangtori Sect?" Wei He asked.
"The Katori Sect is a branch of the Taoist sect. Hey, the Taoist sect Linghedao's handiwork is not ordinary. It even joins forces with the Luan Shen Sect, and the water is deep. If characters like you and me are infected, we don't know how to die!
