At this time, Black Fox appeared and said: "Sir, the prince asked you to go back. There is no need to investigate the case!"
"Why, the murderer hasn't been found yet!" Li Mu said.
"So what if you can't find it? There are many cases that cannot be solved every year. If the case cannot be solved, it just can't be solved!" Black Fox said.
Li Mu fell silent.
After all, life is not a TV series.
In TV dramas, no matter how difficult many cases are, they are bound to be solved; but in real society, there are many cases that are solved, but there are also many cases that cannot be solved.
Black Fox continued: "A big thing happened in the capital, and the prince asked you to go back. In comparison, when something happened in the capital, the Qin family was destroyed, and the Mingjian Villa was destroyed, it's just a small matter!"
"good!"
Li Mu nodded and went directly to the county town without saying anything.
"Meet the prince!"
In the county town, Li Mu met King Zhenbei again.
King Zhenbei asked: "After more than ten days of investigating the case, has there been any result?"
Li Mu said: "There are some clues, but there are still no results."
King Zhenbei said: "Leave the case to others! You are going to the capital. If a big thing happens in the capital, then that is a big thing. If one person is not good, tens of thousands or hundreds of thousands of people will die. The so-called murder cases in Tianshui County are just small things.
, not worth mentioning. The case can be left to others to investigate!"
Li Mu said: "Yes!"
brush!
The next moment, the void flashed, and a woman in black walked out, like a ghost.
"She is from the Shadow Guard...she is responsible for picking you up and taking you to the capital!" King Zhenbei said.
In the royal family, there are four major guards: Thunder Guards, Shield Guards, Blood Guards, and Shadow Guards. They are directly affiliated with the Royal Secret Guards and are responsible for handling some special matters for the royal family. Among them, the Shadow Guards are responsible for security and spying on intelligence.
Attributes are equivalent to Jinyiwei.
In fact, not only the royal family, but also some other big families, big forces, etc., all have assassination or defensive troops responsible for handling special matters.
"Shadow Guard...Shadow..."
Li Mu muttered, and suddenly his eyes lit up, "Yes, I thought about it, I understand, no wonder I feel something is wrong. It turns out that Jian Chen, if you want to write the word "scape", it is not the word "scape", but the word "shadow". And Jian Chen is the owner of the village.
Before retreating, how can there be no shadow and be responsible for its safety!"
King Zhenbei was about to accuse someone, but he said, "You thought of the key to the case!"
"Yes, Jian Chen was betrayed, and someone took action to kill him. No wonder there was a look of astonishment on Jian Chen's face before his death... It seemed unbelievable!" Li Mu said, "The case has been revealed by now... I already know
, who is the murderer?”
The figure flashed and disappeared.
Only King Zhenbei was left standing awkwardly.
With his figure flashing, Li Mu went to a black iron mine. The minerals here are very good. The black iron ore is extracted here and is one of the main materials for forging steel.
In the past, the Qin family and Mingjian Villa were constantly competing for this mineral. In the end, Mingjian Villa was superior and snatched the mineral. Relying on the minerals here, Mingjian Villa forged many famous weapons and was also famous in the northwest. Here, Li Mu saw
I saw workers moving it one by one.
Just bypass here and go directly to the back mountain, where the miners' bones are buried.
There are huge dangers in mining black iron ore at the Miner's Gate. If you unfortunately die there, after finding the body, you will be buried directly in the back mountain. There are dense tombs in the back mountain, but most of the tombs are empty, with no corpses, only cenotaphs.
.
In the back mountain, there are some dilapidated thatched cottages, which seemed to be built by tombkeepers.
At this moment, in front of a tomb, a man in black was kneeling, silent, like a sculpture, as if he was dead.
In front of the tomb, there are fruits, snacks, fish, etc.
"You are the murderer. You are also one of Jian Chen's shadow guards. You are also the murderer who destroyed the Qin family and destroyed the famous Jianshan Villa. You are also the drug boy who escaped from death, Montaigne!" Li Mu questioned. During the questioning moment, Li Mu waited for the person in front of him.
Retort and wait for him to give you reasons why he is not guilty.
But Montaigne grinned and said: "It's me, I'm the murderer!"
"Why? Why do you want to kill people... You are from Mingjian Villa and you are also a shadow. Why is this happening?" Li Mu was very disappointed.
The shadow is the most reliable person. It can be said that your wife, daughter, son, etc. may betray you, but the shadow will not betray you.
"Do you want to hear a story?" Montaigne asked.
Li Mu nodded.
Montaigne said: "At that time, this black iron mine still belonged to the Qin family. The Qin family occupied it, and those high-ranking warriors and disciples of the aristocratic families would naturally not come to mine in person. So, they recruited some untouchables to mine here!
My father was one of them, and he was a miner. He was very tired, but also very happy. His daily income was much more than farming!"
Li Mu was silent.
Montaigne continued: "But one day, my father died in the black iron mine and was buried alive. When the body was exhumed, it was already rotten flesh. My father died, and my mother was blinded by tears. One day
Years later, my mother also fell ill and died. At that time, I was an orphan at the age of eight. I begged for food on the street, stole and robbed, fought with dogs for food, fawned over the old beggar, and even took the opportunity to kill the old beggar... I did a lot of things that needed to be done.
, I also do a lot of things that I shouldn’t do.”
"Seeing some beggars die, and seeing some new beggars join, human life is not as good as a dog, and I lived like a wild dog. Several times I thought I was going to die, but I still lived... Later, when Mingjian went to the village to select a medicine boy, I also
Be one of them!"
"I entered the Medicine Valley and worshiped Jian Jingming as my teacher. At that time, I could eat white steamed buns and fish. It felt like heaven, and Jian Jingming was like a father to me... But later I realized that this was just a journey from hell.
, just entering another hell."
"That old guy mistook our medicine boys for human beings. He fed us poison directly, bitten by poisonous snakes, ate poisonous insects, or took experimental elixirs. He managed to survive but not to die. One by one, the medicine boys came in,
Then one by one they turned into corpses and were buried in the back mountain... Finally, three years later, it was my turn, and I was also poisoned to death, and then buried in the back mountain!"
"But in the middle of the night, when it rained, I unexpectedly woke up and crawled out of the grave. Taking advantage of the night and the rain, the old guy had poor sense, so I escaped... and then went to the street and continued to be a beggar. Until
Half a year later, I was selected again by Mingjian Villa...this time as a shadow!"
"About a thousand children entered a valley to be trained and taught martial arts, and then there were various assassination techniques, fighting techniques, hiding techniques, constant fighting, and constant fighting. More than a thousand children, as young as ten years old,
The maximum age is fifteen years old. As the killing continues, the number continues to decrease. Five years later, only one person will come out of the valley alive...that is me!"
"Together with eight other people, I became the shadow of the village owner. I had no name, only a code name. I took the heart-eating worm and was controlled by the village owner. Under the control of the female worm, if we die, the village owner will not die; but if the village owner dies, we
Must die!"
Li Mu was shocked.
It turns out that he had such an unfortunate childhood.
