Before entering the interior of the house, I could already smell a strong smell of blood.
He looked in the direction where the smell of blood came from, and soon saw a body on the bed.
The place above the corpse's neck where the head should have been is now empty.
Blood spurted out from the broken wound, staining the sheets red, and then dripped along the gaps between the bed boards and onto the floor tiles, just like a classic scene in a cult movie.
It's no wonder that the maid sent by Wen Lun to call for someone was so frightened that her face turned pale.
Li Bufan and the British man arrived one step ahead of Lu Jing and had already walked around the room.
The two of them didn't care too much about the thank-you gift from the Wen family. In contrast, they were more willing to find the murderer quickly. Among them, Li Bufan even took the initiative to share what he found.
"There is only one wound on the body, well, it's the one you saw, so we can basically rule out the possibility that the murderer used other means to kill Hall Master Jiang and then cut off his head to divert attention.
"Unless the real fatal wound is also on the neck." The British father interjected.
"Well, this kind of speculation is indeed possible," Li Bufan nodded, "but the only place with bloodstains in the house is near the bed. There are no traces of fighting anywhere else. According to my observation, the bloodstains on the bedside are also It was left after beheading, so personally, I am more inclined to think that this knife was the cause of Gang Leader Jiang’s death.”
"Knife?" Lu Jing raised his eyebrows.
"Yes, it can be seen from the incision that the murder weapon is a knife, and it is a very thin and fast knife. The length should not exceed seven inches. It is easy to carry and hide." Li Bufan said, and after a pause he added One sentence, "I didn't find it in the room. It must have been taken away by the murderer, so if I can find this knife, I should be able to find the murderer."
"But I still don't understand," Yingying said, "Is there really a knife in this world that can be this fast? With Hall Master Jiang's martial arts and the hidden weapon he carries, he can't even resist it. Someone cut off the head with a knife. To do this, it’s probably not enough for the knife to be good enough.”
Li Bufan was silent for a moment after hearing this, then nodded and said, "Yes, Hall Master Jiang is in the second-rate realm, and he is almost at the peak of the second-rate level. It is not easy for ordinary first-rate masters to win him one-on-one, plus He also carried a lot of gunpowder on his body, especially Buddha's Wrath, a terrifying hidden weapon.
"Once he decides to throw him out, I'm afraid no one in this room will survive, not to mention that he can still call someone if the situation is bad, so if you want to kill him, you only have one chance to kill him, and there is no one in the world who can do this There won’t be too many people.”
It doesn’t mean much, which means there are still people who can do it.
And there are them in Wenjiazhuang, for example, Li Bufan himself is one.
In addition to Lu Qinghou, Yu Wenyu, Jin Duoduo, and even Lu Jing, they are all considered to be capable of doing this.
Although Lu Jing himself doesn't think so, his sword skills are average. They are more like staff skills than sword skills. The power of using a sword is 20% less, and he is not good at speed. In addition, His light kung fu is not outstanding among first-class masters.
Lu Jing's strength actually lies in the super endurance provided by his nearly unlimited internal power. Unfortunately, because he performed so well in the previous battle on Jiang Shang and restrained Li Feilong with one move, he was naturally included in the calculation now. Among them.
And this is why Aunt Wen assigned a team of guards to each of them, not only for them to dispatch, but also to monitor them, just because the status of the six of them is extraordinary, and it is not convenient to say anything openly.
Li Bufan seemed to have thought of something, and left in a hurry shortly after saying the last words. After that, the British father-in-law said goodbye and left in a hurry.
After both of them left, only Lu Jing and his team of guards were left in Jiang Lei's residence. Lu Jing first searched the house carefully from beginning to end.
Sure enough, as Li Bufan said, there was no sign of fighting anywhere in the house.
I don't know if Jiang Lei has any mysophobia. The tables, chairs, and even the teapots and cups on the table are neatly arranged, and there seems to be no trace of anyone touching them.
Until Lu Jing moved his eyes to the wooden box at the foot of the bed. After pausing for a moment, he stepped forward to open the wooden box and found that it contained some clothes and about one thousand two hundred taels of cash at the bottom of the box. Cash silver.
Lu Jing waved and called the guard captain outside the house, "Was this box placed in the house before Hall Master Jiang came?"
The team leader following Lu Jing was a woman in her late twenties, named Wen Liran. She should have practiced a lot of outside skills, especially her palms, where the skin and blood vessels were faintly red. There are still a lot of calluses on my hands, obviously I have put in a lot of hard work in this skill.
However, her palms are no longer associated with being slender and fair, and all women in the world love beauty, and Wen Liran is no exception, so she keeps her palms in her sleeves most of the time.
Hearing Lu Jing's question, Wen Liran shook his head, "I am mainly responsible for guarding Zhuangzi. I don't know much about this aspect, but I can ask the maid who cleans the house for you, Master Lu. She should know."
"Good work."
"You don't have to be polite, Mr. Lu. Aunt Wen has told us that I will try my best to cooperate with you as long as you ask me to do anything." Wen Liran said respectfully, and as he spoke, he asked two of his men to find the cleaning maid.
The latter told Lu Jing that the box was brought by Jiang Lei and that no one was allowed to get close to it in the house. Once when she was sweeping the floor, she came too close and made Jiang Lei lose his temper. He sent her directly to Lu Jing. blasted out.
The maid was deeply impressed by this incident, so when Lu Jing asked her about it, she immediately thought of it.
Later, Lu Jing asked her if she had encountered any other strange things, but this time the maid shook her head.
Wen Liran, who was on the side, probably knew Lu Jing a little bit. After his subordinates sent the maid away, he boldly asked, "Do you think there is something wrong with that box, Master Lu?"
Lu Jingding nodded, "I have some doubts in my heart. Jiang Lei obviously attaches great importance to this box, but now there are only ordinary clothes and one thousand two hundred taels of silver in it. This amount of money is not a small amount, but for Jiang Lei It’s actually not too much for Lei, there’s no reason for him to be so nervous for such a small amount of money.”
Wen Liran had a thought in his mind, "Does Master Lu think someone has switched the contents of the box?"
"I have a suspicion in this regard." Lu Jing admitted frankly.
Then Wen Liran suddenly had a whim and said to Lu Jing, "Master Lu, this box looks quite big. It should be able to accommodate one person. Could it be that the murderer had been hiding here before and suddenly sprang out to attack Hall Master Jiang when he didn't carry it?" Hall Master Jiang, first tap Hall Master Jiang’s acupuncture points, then drag Hall Master Jiang to the bed and kill him with a knife. In this way, maybe you can do it without having to be too high in martial arts.”
Lu Jing was stunned when he heard this, and then his expression became a little strange, "This... is unlikely."
