"Are you Chen Yutian?"
Liu Huangcui looked at Chen Yutian in surprise for a few times, then showed a curious expression and muttered to herself: "It's not like what I imagined. There is no sense of majesty at all..."
"Uh..." Hearing this, Chen Yutian smiled bitterly and was speechless for a while.
Several people around him also looked at the girl speechlessly.
"Huang Cui, don't make mistakes. Lord Chen is a distinguished guest of our Taiyi Heavenly Mansion!" Jian Xinghan reminded from the side. Liu Huangcui was stunned when he heard this, then made a face at the old man and sat back. Arrive at your seat.
"I heard from our Palace Master that you have something to ask me about, right?"
Chen Yutian smiled slightly, looked at the girl in men's clothing in front of him, and then slightly glanced at the other people beside her.
The five masters of Taiyi Tianfu are indeed worthy of their reputation!
Chen Yutian nodded secretly, and after looking at the newly arrived Yu Xiaoxiao, Jian Xinghan and Ye Xiaohan, he looked at Liu Huangcui again.
"Yes, I came here this time to get the specific details about the discovery of the headless body from Miss Liu. I wonder how much Miss Liu remembers?"
"Isn't it too rude to ask a question like how many do you remember? With my memory, of course I have everything in my mind! Otherwise, how can I be called the think tank of Taiyi Tianfu? ?" Liu Huangcui glanced at Chen Yutian slightly unhappy.
"I was negligent. I'm sorry." Chen Yutian quickly apologized and smiled, "Since the girl remembers everything, can I tell you the situation at that time in detail?"
"Of course...not good!" Liu Huangcui shook her head slightly.
"Oh? Why is that?" Chen Yutian was slightly shocked by her answer, then looked at her curiously and asked.
"Everyone in the world says that if you give something, you must be rewarded. If you want to get something, you must give it first. Since I have to give up the detailed experience at that time, what kind of reward can I get? In other words, since you want to get my clues, you are also going to ask for them. At what cost?”
Liu Huangcui shook her feather fan lightly and said with a quirky tone.
"This?" Chen Yutian gently retracted the folding fan in his hand, held it between his eyebrows and pondered for a moment, and a trace of embarrassment appeared on his face involuntarily.
"It seems that you don't intend to pay the price to get the information from me, but there is no such thing as a free lunch in this world, Mr. Chen, what do you think?" Liu Huangcui smiled slightly.
She knew that in the face of such unreasonable difficulties from her, the person in front of her would definitely have no way to answer.
"It seems that it's just not worthy of the name..." She sighed softly in her heart, with a hint of disappointment in her eyes.
On the side, several people from Taiyi Tianfu had a clear understanding of Liu Huangcui's thoughts.
As the think tank of Taiyi Tianfu, Liu Huangcui is usually most proud of his wisdom, and what Chen Yutian is most praised in the world today is his wisdom that can solve countless unsolved cases.
When two wise men meet, a duel of wisdom is naturally inevitable.
Yes, a duel of wits!
From the moment Liu Huangcui opened his mouth, an invisible duel of wisdom had already begun. Apart from the four Ling Xiaowu people who knew his character well, it was probably difficult for anyone to see this duel. .
But Chen Yutian... is obviously an exception!
Just when the thoughts in Liu Huangcui's mind were about to fade, Chen Yutian suddenly laughed, gently waved the folding fan in his hand, and said with a smile: "Wait a minute!"
"What Miss Liu said is wrong. Not to mention that informing the government of the facts of the case is a matter of law and justice. Even if it is as the girl said, how can there be no reward for this matter?"
"Oh? Then tell me, where is my reward?" Liu Huangcui smiled with interest, and then glanced at Chen Yutian.
Chen Yutian smiled and said, "This has three advantages. First, the girl will tell me the details of the discovery of the body. When I investigate the case in the future and find the murderer, the girl will be the hero of the entire case. The relatives of those who died in those cases will definitely be grateful to you, and this is your first harvest: the gratitude of the people."
"Oh? Then you can tell me more, what is this second reward?"
Chen Yutian chuckled, "Haha... this second reward is naturally related to your reputation, girl... As long as you, girl, are willing to tell me about this, when I solve the case in the future, I will definitely label you, girl, as the greatest When the time comes, the whole world will spread that you acted chivalrously and helped us solve the unsolved case. Of course, if the girl can help us capture the final murderer, this harvest will be more upright and bright. Some. This is the second harvest: the respect of fellow practitioners!"
Hearing this, Ling Xiaowu, Jian Xinghan and others around them all looked at each other and nodded.
"What a Chen Yutian. Not only was he able to deal with Huang Cui's unreasonable difficulties calmly, he also wanted to use Huang Cui to help solve the case..."
"This kind of magnanimity is rare in the world..."
When Liu Huangcui heard this, she covered her small mouth and smiled slightly, "Giggles...you have a good plan, but the respect of people in the world is dispensable to me, and it is not a big deal. Harvest, why don’t you tell me what the third harvest is?”
Chen Yutian smiled slightly, "This third harvest is a little vulgar than the previous two, but it is more real... Daxuan Law stipulates that any witness who wants to provide key clues to the government can get one after the case is solved. A large bounty, but I think Miss Liu is a knight-errant, so she probably doesn’t have much interest in extraneous things like property..."
As soon as Chen Yutian finished speaking, Liu Huangcui, who had a relatively calm expression on his face, immediately saw two extremely bright lights flashing in his eyes after hearing the word "bounty"!
"Is there a bounty? How much is it approximately?" she asked.
Hearing this question and Liu Huangcui's extraordinary reaction at this time, Chen Yutian couldn't help but be slightly startled! How is this going? Why did you have such a big reaction after hearing about the bounty?
Ling Xiaowu on the side secretly shook his head at Chen Yutian.
Only then did Chen Yutian realize that although Liu Huangcui was a well-known master in the world, she loved money very much. However, although she loved money, she got it in a wise way and would not do dirty things. The property was all obtained through legitimate channels, so no one cared about it.
But at this time, Chen Yutian hit her at the wrong time and just hit her weak point.
"You should have told me earlier about the bounty. If you had told me earlier, I wouldn't have made things difficult for you..." Liu Huangcui glared at Chen Yutian accusingly.
Chen Yutian smiled bitterly. Could it be that this kind of thing was his own fault?
Yu Xiaoxiao on the side quickly grabbed Liu Huangcui to continue to ruin her "image" and smiled apologetically at Chen Yutian.
"Huang Cui's temperament is what it is. If you are rude, I hope Mr. Chen will forgive you."
Chen Yutian looked at Yu Xiaoxiao's flower-like smile and nodded lightly.
"Then I wonder if Miss Liu can talk now."
"Of course." Liu Huangcui nodded slightly and told Chen Yutian the details of the headless corpse he found.
After Liu Huangcui discovered the body that day, she did not immediately notify Ling Xiaowu and others to report it to the police. Instead, she called several people over to take a look at the headless body. After several people looked at it, they found that the cause of death of the deceased was very clear. He was killed by having his head chopped off. There was nothing strange about it. The only thing that made Ling Xiaowu feel a little strange was that the scars left after the tattoos were washed away on the deceased's arms. , this scar gave him a very familiar feeling, but he couldn't remember why it felt familiar. Because everyone still had important matters to deal with at that time and did not want to create any complications. After summing up, they decided to report the matter to the government, so they sent Liu Huangcui, the best in Qinggong, to report to the government.
After the officials arrived, a few people just stood aside and watched Duke Chen and the others inspect the scene. Finally, they made some simple notes and left.
After listening to Liu Huangcui's story, Chen Yutian frowned slightly. Liu Huangcui's account was basically the same as the transcript they left in the case file, which could rule out the possibility of lying. However, the things she said were all things Chen Yutian already knew from the file, and there were no new clues.
This made Chen Yutian sigh involuntarily.
It seems that there won't be any new progress in the investigation here... I wonder what about the Wu family manor? Can you find new clues?
…
…
Bai Fan and the other four walked out of the gate of the Wu family manor with a hint of disappointment.
In the past few hours, they not only searched the entire crime scene carefully, but also interviewed almost everyone in the manor, including Mrs. Wu, but they did not find any new clues. This made Bai Fan wonder if he wasn't careful enough.
However, the scene had been turned upside down by them, and everyone in the manor who could be questioned had also been asked. Bai Fan really couldn't think of anything else that he had overlooked.
Could it be that the clues are not at the scene?
An idea suddenly jumped into his mind, but he dismissed it the next moment. Just kidding, if the clues to the murder were not at the scene, where else could they be?
At this moment, Tang Fengling seemed to have thought of something, her eyes flashed suddenly, she looked back at Mrs. Wu who sent them out, and asked hurriedly: "By the way, Madam, when we came here just now, we met two people Who are they when they leave the manor?"
Mrs. Wu shook her head slightly, with a hint of confusion, and said, "I don't know who they are. They said they were old acquaintances of the master. They also showed me a scar that was exactly the same as the one on the master's arm. They said they had not been washed away before. Their tattoos are ironclad evidence that they know the master."
Hearing this, Bai Fan, who had been squinting his eyes to think about the problem, a series of rays of light suddenly flashed out from the slits in his eyes, and he quickly asked: "Madam, what did you say? They also have the same color as yours on their arms." Did you wash away the tattoo scars like a gentleman?"
Mrs. Wu nodded and said: "That's right!"
Bai Fan's brows suddenly furrowed even more. The right arms of the three headless corpses all have similar scars left by washed-out tattoos, and these two strangers actually have the same scars on their arms. Is this a coincidence?
…
…
"Old Evil Sword?"
In the backyard of Jiulong Mansion, Xue Tianhan and others were slightly startled when they heard this name from the Four Saints. They searched all the masters in the world in their minds, but they had never heard of such a name.
Long Zun sighed slightly and said with a smile: "It's normal for you not to know. After all, he died when we were still young. But he was the most powerful in the world when we were young, but he was He is also the most ferocious swordsman! No one else!"
Huo Yuanji and Ling Miaoyin showed even more shocked expressions on their faces!
The most powerful and vicious swordsman in the world when the Four Saints were young? The Four Saints are now over a hundred years old. The Evil Sword Old Man died when they were young. Hasn't he been dead for a full hundred years?
It is impossible for them to have heard of such a person!
"The old man with the evil sword was famous in the world at first. The biggest reason is that he has a self-created sword technique, the Heart-Destroying Sword! This technique is extremely weird and vicious, and will not directly harm the opponent. The flesh and body-protecting Qi can pass through these things and directly destroy a person's most fragile internal organs. Therefore, no matter how powerful the opponent is against him, they will almost without exception die under his heart-destroying sword Qi. .”
Yan Zun sighed, with a hint of reminiscence in his eyes, looked at the three of them, and said solemnly.
"And the effect of his Heart-Destroying Sword Qi is very similar to the deceased you just described. However, it has been more than a hundred years since the old man of Evil Sword was killed, so maybe it is just similar."
A look of deep shock flashed in Xue Tianhan's eyes!
Maybe Huo Yuanji and the others didn't pay attention yet, but he heard clearly what Yan Zun said just now, clearly saying that the old man Evil Sword was killed!
"Having mastered such a powerful heart-destroying sword energy, this old man with the evil sword could actually be killed? What kind of master is the person who killed him?" He thought to himself.
Ice King seemed to have seen through his thoughts, and couldn't help but smile slightly: "Even the strongest martial arts in the world will always have their enemies in the dark, and the Heart-Destroying Sword Qi is no exception. Although the Heart-Destroying Sword Qi can break through Physical and internal force protection directly destroys other people's internal organs, but it has a fatal weakness, that is, internal force protection can only penetrate one layer at most! You also know that a warrior can only accommodate one kind of internal force in his body in his lifetime, unless it is Only those with the same internal force can coexist, but there is also a special kind of internal force in this world. It is born with two completely different internal forces, and these two intertwined internal forces are just the nemesis of the Heart-Destroying Sword Qi! This The inner strength of the sect was the inner strength of the immortals and demons of the Taiyi Sect’s immortal esoteric science at that time.”
"The inner power of the immortal demon?" Xue Tianhan was slightly startled!
