"Which of them lost and who won?" Hua Wuying asked curiously. She was already in the late stage of Grandmaster, but she was still far behind Li Mu.
Her skills focus on speed, explosive power, and hidden abilities; but Li Mu's improvement is an all-round improvement, in terms of speed, strength, explosive power, recovery, etc.
The biggest reason for such a gap is qualifications. Insufficient qualifications can only measure a certain aspect. Only with strong qualifications can overall improvement be possible.
"It's hard to say, it's hard to say!" Liao Yuanhou said. It's not that it's hard to say, but there are some things that cannot be said. The outcome of the battle is already clear.
Bang bang bang!
There were constant confrontations and collisions. After a hundred moves, Li Mu gasped slightly and said: "Let's draw!"
"Okay!" the fourth prince said.
Li Mu continued to pant, and he would not be out of breath if he continued fighting for an hour. He had full endurance.
In a real battle, within ten moves, the fourth prince was beaten to the ground and vomited blood.
But if he is really beaten down, he will not look good, and he will be careful of wearing small shoes.
It's better to pretend to be out of breath and indifferent to the outcome.
"It turns out that I am so invincible, so powerful, I am going to be invincible!"
Li Mu sighed in his heart, feeling a bit like the Unbelievable Emperor. The feeling of knocking the enemy down with three punches and two kicks was very satisfying.
Just thinking about the identity of the fourth prince and his father, he still resisted the urge.
There is a difference between having a background and not having a background.
The Ji family and the Jiang family, who had a backstage, survived to the end of the play, while the Wang Teng family, who had no backstage, were killed by Ye Fan.
When I was a child, I felt that hard work, struggle, and wisdom were very important. When I grew up, I realized that the backstage was the most important. With the backstage, even if you are a villain, you can survive until the end of the play.
"How to investigate the case of missing official silver?" the fourth prince asked.
"Let's talk about it when we get to the scene!" Li Mu said, "Some cases will involve big fish, and I'm afraid I won't be able to handle it."
"If you can't bear it, I'll bear it!" the fourth prince said.
"I hope so!" Li Mu said in his heart.
…
The next day, everyone led the guards and set off to the place where the crime occurred.
The scene of the crime is a section of the canal. The terrain here is flat, there are many reeds, and the river channels have many branches. Going east is the sea, going south is the Yangtze River, going east is the lakes, and going west is the lakes.
The terrain here is relatively complicated. The complicated terrain caused the official banknote to be lost here and became the scene of the crime.
Looking at the surrounding terrain, Li Mu frowned slightly.
Hua Wuying stepped forward and said: "This is where the five million taels of official silver are lost."
As the commander of the Xuanjing Division, Hua Wuying provided relevant information.
"There were a thousand soldiers responsible for escorting the ship. When they reached this section of the river, they were attacked. The soldiers responsible for escorting the ship were killed, and then the silver ship disappeared."
"How is the military strength?" Li Mu asked.
Hua Wuying said: "Among the thousand soldiers, there are more than 700 acquired warriors, more than 200 innate warriors, and ten master warriors."
Li Mu frowned and asked: "Why is there no grand master responsible for escorting?"
The fourth prince smiled and said: "There is no need for the Grand Master to take action to escort the official silver. They are very busy."
Li Mu was silent, and after a long time he said, "Have the bodies of the officers and soldiers been found?"
"Not found!" Hua Wuying said, "The bodies of the murdered officers and soldiers disappeared without trace, and they have not been found yet."
Li Mu said: "The corpse will reveal the traces of the murderer. It seems that we will meet a veteran this time."
"There is a difference between a novice committing a crime and a veteran committing a crime. A novice committing a crime will leave a lot of traces and will be followed. But a veteran committing a crime will erase many traces of the crime because he has very good counter-investigation experience."
"Then what should we do now? Are we going to let the murderer go free?" Li Gong said.
"There are only two methods for investigating cases, one is to conduct thorough investigation, and the other is to monitor and search for clues."
"I learned from my experience as a county magistrate that there must be a murderer within a hundred miles of the place where the murder occurred."
"Similarly, with the loss of official silver as the center, there must be a murderer within a thousand-mile radius."
"Within this thousand-mile radius, there are only a few forces capable of doing such a big thing. As long as we investigate them one by one, look for evidence of their alibi, and look for recent movements of their personnel, the case will be clear."
"What big force is there within this thousand-mile radius?" Li Mu asked.
Hua Wuying said: "The first big force is Fengyu Tower. Fengyu Tower is huge. There are many people in the open and many people in the dark. They are intertwined and may take action."
Li Gong said: "Five million taels of silver may seem like a lot, but it's actually not much. It's not worth it for Fengyu Tower to fall out with the court for this little money."
If Feng Yu Lou Lou is planning to do something big, it will be an earth-shattering event. The robbery of five million taels of silver is too small a deal.
Hua Wuying said: "The second one is the Dajiang Gang. They run freight along the Yangtze River and have the strength to take action. However, this gang has always abided by the law and will not take action. The leader of the Dajiang Gang is a strong man in the Heavenly Realm and a member of the imperial court.
One of the sacrifices, the Dajiang Gang has the largest white income and gray income every year, so robbing official money is not worth it!"
"The Marquis of Nanhai also has the strength to take action, but he is a martial arts idiot, so he probably won't be able to take action."
Then Hua Wuying said a few more words.
These forces are all giants in the south and belong to the trust level. They all have the ability to take action, but they are unlikely to do so.
"Yes, these big guys may not move, but the younger brothers below may not... people's hearts are unpredictable!" Li Mu said leisurely, "Now, the most critical thing is to find the bodies of those officers and soldiers who died!"
With that said, everyone began to search everywhere, constantly pulling nets to search for the bodies of the dead officers and soldiers, and looking for clues.
Li Mu opened the map and marked the big forces and small forces on it with the crime scene as the center.
These large and small forces are intertwined and intertwined with each other, and the water in them is very deep.
Even without looking at the map, Li Mu was shocked when he looked at the map. Sure enough, there were many big crocodiles lurking underwater.
It was really lucky that he didn't drown in such a deep water.
"Sir, the bodies of the killed officers and soldiers have been found!"
Three days later, Sun Mengxi received news, "A sunken ship was found in a reed swamp in the northwest, with the bodies of the dead officers and soldiers on the ship."
After hearing the news, Li Mu rushed to the new crime scene.
In the northwest, there is a huge reed marsh with dense reeds. There is a half-sunken ship with sandbags on it, and floating corpses around it. It seems that they have been soaked in the water for a long time. Some corpses have begun to rot and become beyond recognition.
