Xuefeng Mountain, cliff.
The iron ropeway that was originally hanging here and swaying in the wind has disappeared, and only a chasm like a chasm can be seen in front of them.
Everyone who came from Fengxue Villa was shocked when they saw this.
"Just now I wanted to send someone down the mountain to report to the town to report to the official, but when I got here, I found that the ropeway was broken..." Gu Huang said to everyone with a face full of anxiety.
Chen Yutian also frowned slightly.
This cableway is the only connection between Fengxue Villa and the mountain. Now that it is broken, it is equivalent to completely cutting them off from the world below the mountain.
Unless one of them knows the art of flying and can directly ignore this cliff like a chasm and walk across the sky to the other side, there is no other way.
But the Flying Technique is a secret technique that can only be mastered by warriors who have perfected the Gang Qi separation from the body. At the moment, there seems to be no such person in Fengxue Villa.
This means that everyone present now will be forced to stay in Snow Wind Villa.
The worst happened.
Chen Yutian rubbed his eyebrows and came to the broken ropeway.
Most of the cableway broke and fell into the valley below, with only a short part still tied to the wooden piles on the edge of the cliff.
He knelt down, picked up the chain that was still on the wooden stake, turned it over and looked at it carefully.
"Huh? This is..." Suddenly he frowned.
It was seen that the broken part of the iron chain was extremely smooth, without any rough spots. It was obviously split by some sharp weapon.
Chen Yutian took a closer look and found that the iron chain was as thick as a thumb. If it weren't for a magic weapon, it would never be possible to cut it open at once.
And the fracture seemed to have traces of being burned by the fire.
It seems that the sharp weapon used to break the iron chain should also have fire-attributed external and internal force.
"It seems like he did this too..." Chen Yutian gently put down half of the chain in his hand and shook his head slightly.
What he said was a bit inexplicable, which made everyone present slightly stunned!
Xuan Xi looked at his face and asked. "You mean 'The Night Returner'?"
Chen Yutian nodded slightly, "Who else could it be besides him? I think he wanted to trap us all in Fengxue Villa, so he destroyed the ropeway and completely cut us off from the foot of the mountain..."
Hearing this, Hao Qian also nodded slightly, "It makes sense, but why would he do this? Could it be..."
When he said this, his expression suddenly changed!
"Yeah." On the side, Lin Dao nodded slightly and spoke in a low voice with no emotion, "You guessed it right..."
"He should... still want to kill people! And the target... should be among us!"
"What?"
Lin Dao's words made almost everyone present feel a chill, as if a sinister wind was whistling from behind.
The fear of death gradually envelopes everyone's heart...
Chen Yutian smiled bitterly and glanced at the crowd unintentionally, only to find that Ling Ruoyin, Meng Hongyan and Yuan Wuji were not there.
"The three of them always feel very mysterious..." He thought to himself.
"Well, let's forget about it for now. The most urgent task is to find out how the murderer created the secret room... Since our escape route has been cut off, it means that he will definitely take action again. We must find out all this before his next time. , otherwise it will be troublesome..."
Shaking his head, he began to think about the whole incident again, hoping to find a clue about the method of creating the secret room.
The remaining people stood on the edge of the cliff, looking at the chasm in front of them with complicated expressions.
After a while, everyone returned to the villa one after another...
Only Le Wuhuan and Qin Wuxi still stood on the edge of the cliff, looking at the other side of the cliff, silent.
"Second brother, do you think the death of the boss...is related to what happened back then?" After seeing no one around for a long time, Le Wuhuan asked the question that seemed to have been suppressed in his heart for a long time.
Qin Wuxi didn't answer, just sighed.
"The reason why you and the boss came back here is because you received the letter from that person, right?" Le Wuhuan looked ahead and sighed.
Qin Wuxi still didn't answer.
"What happened back then, I didn't know whether what we did was right or wrong... So after I received the letter, I thought about it for a long time and decided to come back and have a look... To be honest, after I found out about the accommodation arranged for me When I was in the room here before, I was really surprised, I even really thought it was him coming back..."
Le Wuhuan spoke as if no one was around, as if talking to himself.
"Fourth brother, those things have passed..."
Qin Wuxi finally spoke.
"Let the past go by... What we should do most now is to look forward... Do you understand? We can't talk about right or wrong about what happened back then..."
After hearing this, Le Wuhuan sighed heavily, "I understand..."
Silent for a long while.
…
…
But at this moment, a strange wind came into being in the void.
The two people on the edge of the cliff frowned at the same time. Le Wuhuan held his right hand empty, and the red python gun flashed out, pointing diagonally into the sky, and the gun light kept flowing.
Qin Wuxi also had a serious expression on his face, his palm secretly holding the hilt of the Red Dragon Sword.
At the moment when the strange wind came, the two of them felt a strange and powerful aura forced from the void almost at the same time.
A strong pressure followed and swept across...
"Who..." The strong pressure shocked the two people on the edge of the cliff, and at the same time they also felt a sense of powerlessness.
However, no one showed up.
The two looked at each other, confused.
At this moment, the pressure in the void slowly disappeared, and after a moment, there was no trace left.
"What on earth is going on?" Le Wuhuan put away his spear and asked Qin Wuxi.
Qin Wuxi shook his head slightly, "I don't know, but I can be sure that there must have been someone just now, and it was a strong man who is definitely no less powerful than you and me."
Le Wuhuan nodded, "Indeed, the strength of this internal force has surpassed all the warriors I have seen. If they are not in the holy realm, then they can only be masters in the perfect realm of Gang Qi separation. But there seems to be no expert at this level in the villa."
Qin Wuxi was silent.
Le Wuhuan's expression suddenly changed, "Second brother, do you think he is..."
Qin Wuxi shook his head slightly. He understood what Le Wuhuan wanted to say, but he didn't know whether it was really what they thought.
"I don't know... This place is weird, let's go back first..."
"okay."
…
…
Chen Yutian stood at the crime scene, looking around and frowning.
After investigating the scene again, he discovered something strange.
There were no signs of struggle or struggle at the scene. Obviously, the murderer should have killed Lei Wubei with one fatal blow.
But the problem is that Lei Wubei is not an ordinary person who has no power to restrain a chicken, and his martial arts is not weak. No matter what, it is impossible to watch the murderer kill him and remain indifferent.
Unless the murderer's speed was too fast for him to react.
But this is not right. Although Lei Wubei has never shown his martial arts to the outside world from the beginning to the end, from the fluctuations of internal energy that he radiated when he almost fought with Wu Linling outside the villa, this person's martial arts have definitely already Having reached the stage where Gang Qi has separated from the body, if a master of this level wants to do it so fast that he has no time to react, I am afraid that only the Saint Realm powerhouses like Bing Wang and others can do it.
But there is absolutely no way the murderer is a saint.
Otherwise, he wouldn't have to go to such great lengths to kill people.
But if the murderer didn't have such skill, how could he kill Lei Wubei with one blow?
As long as there is a little reaction time, Lei Wubei can directly activate the protective Gang Qi to save his life. However, no fluctuations of Gang Qi can be felt at the scene. It can be confirmed that when the crime occurred, Lei Wubei did not activate the protective Gang Qi. The body's Gang Qi was strong, but the murderer did not use any external Gang Qi.
Just use the red tiger claws without any fancy, and kill with one blow!
And there's another problem.
The red tiger claw is obviously the famous weapon of Lei Wubei. Why did it end up in the hands of the murderer when the crime occurred? It's impossible, it was Lei Wubei who gave it to him, right?
Chen Yutian couldn't help but smile bitterly.
Originally, he returned to the scene just to look for any missing clues left by the murderer, so that he could uncover the murderer's method of creating the secret room. However, the clues were not found, and instead he discovered two more doubtful points.
"Alas..." He sighed heavily and rubbed his brows.
Since this case happened, he didn't know how many times he had rubbed his eyebrows.
"Eh? Master, this man's left arm seems to be broken?"
Han Tong held the left arm of Lei Wubei's corpse, shook it slightly, and said to Gongsun.
Gongsun frowned and pinched it, his expression solemn.
Chen Yutian walked over, frowned and looked at Lei Wubei, and asked, "What's wrong?"
Gongsun pinched Lei Wubei's left arm and exerted a slight force, only to hear a cracking sound coming from that arm.
"His left arm is broken." Gongsun said after everything was done.
"Broken?" Chen Yutian was slightly startled.
"Yes, I only paid attention to his right hand before, but I didn't expect that his left hand was actually fractured..." Gongsuo smiled bitterly, "It seems that we need to be more careful when examining corpses in the future."
"Only pay attention to your right hand..." After hearing this, Chen Yutian looked slightly startled. He seemed to have caught something, but he seemed to have caught nothing...
Suddenly, his eyes flashed, "This is it!"
Gongsun and Han Tong raised their heads at the same time, looking at him with great confusion.
Chen Yutian asked eagerly: "Speaking of which, have you ever noticed whether Lei Wubei's dominant hand is the right or the left?"
"It should be the right hand! I remember when he was fighting with Sister Wu Linling at the gate of the villa, this claw appeared from the right hand." After thinking about it, Han Tong said.
Gongsun shook his head, "No, it's the left hand."
"Huh? Left hand?" Han Tong looked at his master in confusion.
Gongsun Dao: "When he was eating in the banquet hall, he grabbed the chopsticks with his left hand. In fact, for daily things like eating, most people will subconsciously choose the hand they are most accustomed to using to grab chopsticks, but this is not necessarily the case in combat. There are many left-handers who deliberately practice right-hand kung fu so that their right hand can use weapons as proficiently as their left hand. This will give the opponent the illusion that they are good at using their right hand, and then at the critical moment, they can use their left hand to surprise the opponent and give the opponent a fatal blow. Attack. This situation is not uncommon in the world."
"That's it!" Chen Yutian smiled and nodded, "I think Lei Wubei should be in the same situation, but I still need to find someone to verify whether things are exactly what I thought."
"Who are you looking for?" Han Tong was curious.
Chen Yutian smiled mysteriously, "Secret."
…
…
"You asked me whether the leader of the Tears Gang usually uses his left hand or his right hand?"
Hao Qian looked at Chen Yutian in front of him curiously. Just now this guy came to his room and asked such a question.
"Why do you ask?"
Chen Yutian said seriously: "This matter is related to whether the truth about Lei Wubei's murder can be solved. Brother Haoqian, I hope you can tell me."
"I see..." Hao Gan nodded and thought for a while, "He usually fights with the red tiger claw on his right hand, so people in the world think he is right-handed, but I know that he is actually right-handed. The most dominant hand is his left hand, and his left-hand sword is no worse than the Red Tiger Claw."
"As expected!"
A series of gleams flashed in Chen Yutian's eyes, "Thank you Brother Haoqian for your help. I have other important matters, so I'll take my leave first."
After saying that, he left in a hurry.
Hao Qian stood in the room, looking at a loss...for a long time, he sighed with a slight smile, then picked up the pen and paper in the room and started to write a letter...
Chen Yutian left Hao Qian's room and went straight to the scene. Based on Hao Qian's answer, it can now be concluded that the deceased, Lei Wubei, was actually left-handed.
Then, as long as that point can be confirmed, the mystery of Lei Wubei's death can basically be solved.
There is still no clue about the secret room.
Chen Yutian walked quickly towards the scene, but not long after walking, he suddenly stopped.
Just now, he suddenly sensed an internal force emerging out of thin air, blocking his way.
A bright smile appeared on his face, "Miss Ling, stop hiding, I know it's you."
"Giggle..." A figure suddenly walked out of the bushes on the side. It was Ling Ruoyin. She looked at Chen Yutian with a smile on her pink cheeks.
"How do you know Mr. Chen is the younger sister? The younger sister probably has never released her inner power in front of you, right?"
"This happens to be near your residence, and the aroma of the rouge and gouache on your body, girl, is relatively strong and special, and my nose's sense of smell is pretty good." Chen Yutian smiled lightly.
"That's it." Ling Ruoyin smiled.
"I wonder what happened to the girl who stopped me halfway?" Chen Yutian asked.
"Haha... It's nothing important. I just remembered something and wanted to tell you, Master." Ling Ruoyin smiled charmingly, moving her steps lightly, looking graceful and charming.
Chen Yutian hid quickly, "I wonder what it is?"
Ling Ruoyin glared at him resentfully, "Young Master, really... The Nu family wants to tell the Young Master that this Fengxue Villa was an empty and abandoned village half a year ago, but a month ago, it suddenly appeared. A so-called master is just that people around him have only heard of this master's name, but have never seen his true face. The Nu family thought that they would be able to see the long-rumored master during this meeting. I missed him but still didn’t show up. Alas..."
After saying that, he moved gracefully towards Chen Yutian again.
Chen Yutian quickly hid again.
Ling Ruoyin covered her mouth and chuckled.
Chen Yutian had no choice but to say, "If the girl just wants to tell me this, then I'll just... say goodbye." After saying that, he was about to leave.
I really can't stay with this woman any longer.
"Master, why are you so anxious..." Ling Ruoyin chuckled, "I still want to tell you something, Master!"
Chen Yutian frowned and looked back at her, "I wonder what you mean?"
Ling Ruoyin changed his playful look before, his eyes were full of seriousness and solemnity, and he said in a deep voice, "Sometimes, what you hear may not be false, and what you see may not be true. And sometimes, preconceptions are the most terrifying thing. !”
Chen Yutian was immediately stunned!
