Swish…
Two violent blasts of wind rang out, moving from far to near as fast as a violent wind, heading straight for the Jingyou Road. The sound caused by the figure tearing the air, was like two lightning bolts, passing through the vast ancient road.
These two people are both ice and fire.
After Chu Yuhai's case happened, they, like Gongsun, were very worried about the lives of the others. After all, those people were extremely important witnesses. If anything happened to them, then the whole case might really become an unsolved case.
However, since they came out early in the morning, they have been searching this section of Jingyou Road for a long time. But no clues were found at all.
Did they arrive in the capital safely?
This is what they most want to see.
However, judging from the actions of the man behind the scenes, he probably wouldn't be so kind.
Although there is currently not enough evidence in Chu Yuhai's case to prove that this was an act of silence committed by the other party, everyone already thinks so in their hearts.
Therefore, finding these people has become a task that they must complete in the short term.
It's just that this task seems to be much more difficult than previously imagined.
"Ling Yuntian said that the bandits usually operate in the Yuanshan area. Now we have walked around this area at least seven or eight times. How come we haven't seen a single bandit?" Huo Yuanji looked at it. All around, there were confused faces.
Xue Tianhan looked a little indifferent and said: "Do you think the bandit is you? Just wandering around outside all day long when you have nothing to do?"
Hearing this, Huo Yuanji suddenly looked at him angrily.
This dead-faced guy never has anything nice to say when he opens his mouth!
"But this time your suspicion is correct. This is the intersection of Jingyou Road and Yuanshan Mountain. It is also the only section of Jingyou Road that intersects with the mountain. If those bandits are really here in Yuanshan Mountain, they should not be seen. Not a soul in sight.”
"Well, you're right." Huo Yuanji nodded, "But Ling Yuntian doesn't have to lie in this situation."
Xue Tianhan shook his head, "I don't think so. Don't forget who beat Liu Jingyan to death row?"
"That's just a little confused at best. There's nothing wrong with people putting their character first. You should be overthinking it." Huo Yuanji smiled slightly, feeling that Xue Tianhan seemed to be making a fuss out of a molehill.
Xue Tianhan sighed.
Making a fuss out of a molehill? I really hope so, but there are still many clues pointing to this confused Lord Fu Yin...
The two of them were investigating on the road when they suddenly saw a woodcutter approaching, carrying firewood on his back, humming an unknown tune, and walking happily on the road.
Huo Yuanji glanced at the woodcutter. Coincidentally, this man turned out to be the woodcutter who first discovered Chu Yuhai's body that day. Seeing the two of them, he couldn't help but waved his hands happily, "Master Xue, Master Huo, are you two investigating the case?"
Huo Yuanji and Xue Tianhan simultaneously returned the gift with their hands and fists.
"Exactly." Huo Yuanji, who was imagining the case, saw the woodcutter and immediately approached him to get close to him. "Seeing how happy you are, brother woodcutter, did you get more firewood today than usual?"
"No, I'm just a woodcutter who collects firewood for a living. How can I bear the call of 'big brother' from the two adults? This is absolutely impossible. You two adults should just call me Heisan."
The woodcutter refused again and again.
"As for the reason why the villain is happy, sir, no matter how much firewood you beat, you won't be able to buy a lot of money. How can the villain be happy because of this kind of thing? How can the villain be happy that after today? When I was in Luo Zipo, I actually picked up ten taels of silver. This is why the villain is so happy..."
Hearing this, Huo Yuanji and Xue Tianhan looked at each other.
"You said you picked up ten taels of silver in the mountains?"
"Yes, it's at Luo Zipo not far from here." The woodcutter nodded.
"Can you let us take a look?" Xue Tianhan said calmly.
The woodcutter hesitated for a moment, sighed, and took out a yellow money bag from his arms.
Huo Yuanji looked at the hesitation still in the woodcutter's eyes, and naturally understood what he was thinking, so he reached out and took it.
"Heisan, you have to know that if something is not yours, don't be greedy. Otherwise, if you cause trouble because of greed, you will regret it later."
These few words were uttered based on Liu Jingyan’s experiences.
Didn't you see that Liu Jingyan took Bai Xiuxiu's relics as his own out of greed, and ended up in jail?
Moreover, if he and others had not found the corpse that proved the true time of Bai Xiuxiu's death, I am afraid that instead of being imprisoned, he would have lost his life.
When the woodcutter heard these words from Huo Yuanji, he immediately felt cruel and handed the money bag in Ah Jing's hand to Huo Yuanji.
Huo Yuanji smiled and looked through the money bag carefully. His expression suddenly changed.
This time... it really came true!
I saw a bright surname embroidered on this money bag: Ma!
Judging from this, this money bag should belong to a person named Ma.
But the word "horse" reminded him of some bad things.
If he remembered correctly, among the few people who moved their families, there was one family with a bad temper.
He quickly took out the list from his arms, unfolded it, and soon saw a name named Ma.
Ma Yuanyi!
"Could it really be him?" Huo Yuanji was secretly worried.
Xue Tianhan also discovered the problem at this time and asked the woodcutter, "Where did you find this money bag? Can you take us there?"
The woodcutter hesitated and nodded, "Of course."
So the three of them headed to Luozipo as quickly as possible.
Luozipo is a relatively steep hillside, covered with tender green grass. Whenever the breeze blows, the grass sways with the wind, giving people a vibrant feeling.
After the three of them arrived at Luofengpo, the woodcutter pointed to one of the places and said, "That's where I picked it up."
The two of them hurriedly came to the place he indicated and took a closer look. Suddenly they were shaken and their expressions suddenly became solemn.
"Heisan, let me ask you, do people usually pass by here?"
Hei San smiled and said: "Sir, you are joking. In such a barren mountainous place, no one will pass by. At most, only the old apes on this mountain will visit occasionally."
"That's it!" Xue Tianhan understood and took a deep breath.
Huo Yuanji also took a long and solemn breath and looked at the ground.
They saw a large number of messy footprints scattered on the grass beneath their feet.
At a glance, you can tell that these footprints were left by people, and they were not just one person, but probably many people.
That said, a lot of people have stayed here.
And Hei San has also said before that no one would come to this kind of barren mountainous place.
But now, there are so many footprints here.
This is abnormal!
When something goes wrong, there must be a monster!
Almost instantly, the two of them opened their spiritual senses at the same time and started searching around Luo Zipo.
At this time, a gust of wind suddenly blew.
Immediately, the three of them were in the wind. There was a foul smell.
"Wow! What does it smell like? It's so smelly!" Hei San couldn't help but pinch his nose. The smell was too strong and overbearing...
Xue Tianhan quickly shut down his sense of smell and frowned at a thorn bush behind the hillside.
That's where the smell comes from.
Immediately, he winked at Huo Yuanji.
Huo Yuanji had no choice but to walk towards the bushes.
Xue Tianhan quickly retreated. This smell would kill him, so don't get close!
When Huo Yuanji came to the edge of the bushes, his body suddenly froze in place as if struck by a bolt from the blue.
His eyes were full of solemnity, and there was even a hint of gloominess that flashed away.
After a long time, he spoke to Xue Tianhan in a deep voice: "Inform Brother Chen that we have made a new discovery..."
Then he saw three corpses lying in the thorn bushes in front of him!
Three corpses covered with bruises and thorns!
Next to the three corpses, there was clearly a blood-stained hatchet.
…
After receiving the news, Chen Yutian and the Youzhou government office rushed over as quickly as possible.
"Same as last time, these three people were hacked to death with random knives, and judging from the corpse spots and stench on their bodies, they should have died earlier than Chu Yuhai's family. But the strange thing is that these three None of the injuries suffered were caused by a hatchet, but such a blood-stained hatchet was left at the scene. "
Gongsun took the hatchet left beside the body and said slowly.
"This is not simple. The murderer must have deliberately stayed at the scene because he wanted to blame the woodcutter." Ling Yuntian took out a hatchet with certainty. This hatchet was none other than Hei San. A hatchet usually used for chopping firewood.
"Look, these two knives are almost identical!!"
Ling Yuntian took the blood-stained hatchet from Gongsun's hand and compared it with Hei San's hatchet. As expected, there was almost no difference between the two knives except that one was new and the other was old. They are exactly the same!
"I just heard that he just picked up the deceased's money bag again. If this 'murderous weapon' is found next to the deceased, the government will definitely think that it must be a woodcutter who wanted to kill someone and rob him of the money. So As soon as it came, the suspicion was completely transferred to the woodcutter. I think this is what the murderer must have thought? "
After hearing Ling Yuntian's words, Hei San on the side suddenly felt a lingering fear in his heart!
How dangerous! If it weren't for Mr. Huo's inspiring words, I might have been charged with murder right now...
After listening to Ling Yuntian's analysis, Chen Yutian suddenly smiled coldly and said: "Are we going to do the same trick again..."
Ling Yuntian was surprised and asked: "Master Chen, what are you talking about?"
"Nothing." Chen Yutian shook his head, "But Master Ling, if it is as you analyzed, then the murderer is too stupid. Not only did he not know that the knife wounds on the body were completely inconsistent with the hatchet, but he also made such unnecessary moves. By leaving this hatchet at the scene, doesn’t this clearly tell you that you are framing someone else’s fault?”
Ling Yuntian nodded and said: "My lord, what you said is right. However, my lord, only those of us in the public sector know the details of the autopsy. How can ordinary people in the countryside know about such a thing?" ? They probably thought that if we saw the hatchet at the scene, they would directly use it as a murder weapon..."
Hearing this, Chen Yutian's eyes suddenly lit up!
"Master Ling means..."
"I believe that this case was committed by ignorant rural people who did not understand the details of the autopsy. The most likely ones are the bandits who are entrenched here."
Ling Yuntian said firmly.
"Speaking of which, I have a question that I would like to ask Lord Ling for advice."
This is what Xue Tianhan said suddenly.
"Sir Snow, it doesn't matter."
"Master Ling, you keep saying that there is a group of bandits lurking around here, but we walked around here several times today, but why didn't we see even half of the bandits? And we didn't even see a stronghold that resembled a bandit village. ." Xue Tianhan said.
When Ling Yuntian heard this, he and Fang Jing looked at each other and suddenly smiled.
Everyone was surprised and asked: "Why is Lord Ling laughing?"
"You don't know, but the bandits in Ape Mountain are actually very small, only a dozen or so. So they don't have any strongholds. Most of them hide in the barren mountains and wander around, so few people can find them. We The Youzhou local army has been searching in this mountain for nearly half a month, but still found nothing. Moreover, these bandits are extremely cautious. They always only move at night, so they are basically invisible during the day. My Lords If you are unlucky, you can come secretly at night and you will be able to see them naturally."
After listening, Chen Yutian smiled lightly.
"What did Master Ling say? How could we not believe you? It's just that we have doubts. Now that the doubts in our minds have been solved, naturally we won't disbelieve you, Sir."
Ling Yuntian also smiled in return.
Chen Yutian looked at the three cleaned corpses and said, "Since the murderer of this case has been confirmed to be the bandit, I need to ask Master Ling to worry about the next thing."
"Of course." Ling Yuntian smiled slightly.
…
"Sir, do you really think that was the work of bandits?"
Back at Guanyi, Gongsun looked at Chen Yutian with some confusion and asked.
Chen Yutian shook his head slightly, "Of course not, I am absolutely sure that this is another murderous plan by the mastermind behind the scenes!"
"Then, why did you..."
Chen Yutian smiled mysteriously and said: "This matter will be kept secret for now. When the time is right, I will naturally explain it to you."
As he spoke, he looked at Lin Feifei sitting opposite.
At this time, Lin Feifei has become a frequent visitor to Guanyi. Everyone likes this little girl who can cook, but... this girl is too clingy to Huo Yuan...
Looking at Lin Feifei, who was sitting next to Huo Yuanji and enjoying the delicious food together, Chen Yutian sighed again.
Then, he looked at the room where Yu He currently lived in the distance.
At this moment, she and Ling Miaoyin were standing in front of the door, looking at the flowers in the courtyard.
However, even if this girl is admiring the flowers, there is still a lot of vigilance in her eyes.
"What a troublesome woman..." Chen Yutianbu sighed again.
At this time, a voice suddenly came from the hotel, "Brother Chen, everyone, we are here..."
It was Bai Xiushan's voice.
The moment the voice just fell, two figures walked into the door of the hotel, it was the Bai brothers and sisters.
But when she saw these two people for the first time, girl Yuhe, who was admiring the flowers at the door of the room, suddenly trembled and froze on the spot!
At the same time, the Bai brothers and sisters also saw her.
When they saw her for the first time, the two of them were stunned, with incredible surprises on their faces!
Yuhe also looked at the two of them in surprise!
Such an atmosphere immediately made everyone in the surrounding Jiulong Mansion feel a little strange.
What's happening here?
Just when everyone was surprised, they heard Bai Xiushan exclaim in surprise: "Yu'er, are you Yu'er?!"
