Two days later.
Chen Yutian once again came to the inn where Taiyi Tianfu and his group were staying temporarily, but this time, he was not alone. There were two people beside him, Xuan Xi and Xue Tianhan.
This was the second time that Chen Yutian came here. He was familiar with the road and told the waiter directly. The waiter ran up the stairs and ran down after a while, telling the three of them that the person they wanted to see was there. In the room, you can go up at any time.
So the three of them went directly upstairs to Ling Xiaowu's room.
But when they entered, they discovered that Ling Xiaowu was not the only one in the room. The four masters of Taiyi Tianfu were also there!
"Brother Chen is here, I'm sorry for not being able to welcome him from afar." Ling Xiaowu, dressed in blue, was the first to stand up and slightly hugged Chen Yutian.
Chen Yutian's eyes froze for a moment when he saw the blue clothes on his body, and then a smile appeared on his face, and he said with a smile: "Brother Ling's words are wrong, I took the liberty to come here to disturb you, so I It’s more important to say sorry.”
Ling Yuntian waved his hand slightly and said with a smile: "Brother Chen, you're welcome... I wonder who these two are..."
He asked, pointing to Xuan Xi and Xue Tianhan beside Chen Yutian.
Xuan Xi saluted Ling Xiaowu generously and said: "My little sister Xuan Xi is so polite. I have heard about Brother Ling's famous name for a long time. When I see him today, he is really magnificent and well-deserved!"
Hearing the word "Xuan Xi" in her mouth, the expressions of Ling Xiaowu and the four masters changed. The former even said with a wry smile: "It turns out that it was Her Royal Highness who was disrespectful and disrespectful!"
After saying that, he looked at Xue Tianhan aside.
"Then this one must be Brother Xuetian Hanxue, who is famous all over the world, right?"
Xue Tianhan nodded and said: "Exactly."
Ling Xiaowu's expression changed again!
If the respect for Xuan Xi just now was based on the other party's position, then the respect on his face at this moment is definitely out of the affirmation and appreciation of Xue Tianhan's strength. After all, the latter is a young martial artist with him. The young talents who are among the most influential figures of the generation are definitely not weaker than him in terms of talent and strength.
"I admire your name for a long time!" Ling Xiaowu slowly hugged his fists towards Xue Tianhan.
Xue Tianhan nodded slightly without expression, and then looked at Chen Yutian who was aside. Chen Yutian naturally knew what he meant. After nodding slightly, he looked at Ling Xiaowu and said, "Brother Ling, actually we are here this time because we want to ask you some questions about the case."
"Oh?" Ling Xiaowu's expression changed, he glanced at Chen Yutian with slight curiosity, and said, "I know that Brother Chen, you will definitely not go to the Three Treasures Hall for anything. I don't know what questions you have, but ask It’s okay.”
"So good!"
Chen Yutian nodded slightly, and then took out a torn piece of white rag from his arms, which was exactly the piece found at the crime scene in the dense forest of the mountain village near the border of Qishan two days ago.
The moment he saw this piece of white rag, the eyes of someone in the room suddenly changed.
This person is Yu Xiaoxiao, one of the four masters of Taiyi Tianfu.
The moment she saw the white rag in Chen Yutian's hand, she recognized it. The rag was from Ling Xiaowu's white robe that had been torn by sword energy before, because that piece of clothing was She sewed it stitch by stitch, so she was very familiar with the fabric of that piece of clothing, and she discovered this almost at a glance.
Her reaction could not escape Chen Yutian's eyes.
Almost at the same time she reacted, Chen Yutian already understood in his heart that these pieces of clothing indeed belonged to Ling Xiaowu. Otherwise, Yu Xiaoxiao should never have such a big reaction!
"I wonder if Brother Ling can recognize this thing?" He showed the white piece of cloth and asked Ling Xiaowu.
Ling Xiaowu looked at the piece of cloth, smiled bitterly, and asked, "I wonder where Brother Chen found this thing?"
Chen Yutian smiled and said: "Brother Ling should know where he found it... I just want to know why this thing appears there?"
The bitter smile on Ling Xiaowu's face became even stronger.
From the moment he saw the piece of cloth, he already knew where Chen Yutian found this thing, and then he also knew the purpose of Chen Yutian and others coming here... all of this , he understands and understands everything.
"Brother Chen is questioning me like this, but does he think that I am the murderer?"
When this question was raised for the first time, Ling Xiaowu shook his head slightly when everyone in the room saw Chen Yutian, and said: "No. I know you are not the real murderer! You just want to Do you know, why did you appear at the crime scene that night? And have you seen the real murderer? "
Hearing such an answer, Ling Xiaowu was completely stunned.
He originally thought that Chen Yutian came to him with the piece of cloth because they believed that he was the real culprit in many unsolved crimes. Fragments of his clothes were found near the crime scene. What should I say? It should all arouse suspicion.
But he never expected that Chen Yutian not only did not suspect him as the murderer, but also said with absolute certainty that he was not the murderer.
Why is he so sure?
"To be honest, when Brother Xue found pieces of your clothes at the crime scene, I did doubt that you might be the real culprit in this series of unsolved cases, but after thinking about it carefully, I rejected this idea. idea."
Chen Yutian seemed to have guessed what Ling Xiaowu was thinking at the moment, and explained, "Because you don't fit the time of the crime. After all, the beginning of this series of cases was the murder of Wu Chengtian half a month ago. , and you guys only came to the capital early the next morning and discovered the second headless body. Judging from the time, you did not have time to commit the crime. "
With that said, Chen Yutian took out another thing from his arms.
"Of course, if I just rely on your one-sided words, I can't be completely sure about this. So within the past two days, I ordered people to go to Yongfeng County, which is not too far from the capital, to investigate."
Upon hearing the words "Yongfeng County", the expressions of several people present changed.
Yu Xiaoxiao and Liu Huangcui looked straight at Chen Yutian as if they had seen a ghost, with a look of disbelief flashing in their eyes.
Ling Xiaowu looked at each other with Ye Xiaohan and Jian Xinghan calmly, and a faint look of surprise appeared in his eyes.
They didn't know how Chen Yutian knew that place, but Yongfeng County was exactly where they stayed the night before entering Beijing.
Since Chen Yutian sent someone to investigate there, the other party would naturally know what they had spent there that night, and in this way, they would naturally not have the time to commit the crime, and this series of unsolved cases would be impossible. murderer.
"This letter is the proof provided by the owner of the inn where you rented that night. Since you were very generous there, the boss was quite impressed with you and your group."
Chen Yutian pointed to the piece of paper he took out from his arms.
Ling Xiaowu nodded.
Liu Huangcui glanced at Chen Yutian and asked, "Since you already know it so well, Mr. Chen, what else do you need to ask?"
Chen Yutian looked at her and smiled and said: "The question, I have already said it just now, I just want to know, Brother Ling, why did your clothes fragments appear in the murder scene? And... you guys The reason why we appeared together in the capital together for the first time!"
Hearing this, Ye Xiaohan, whose expression had not changed since the three of them entered the room, and the other three suddenly raised their heads and looked at Chen Yutian with a hint of hostility in their eyes. The glow.
Seeing this, the expressions of Xuan Xi and Xue Tianhan also changed.
Ling Xiaowu took a deep look at Chen Yutian, suddenly laughed, waved his hand to everyone behind him to relax, and said with a smile: "It seems... Brother Chen has already guessed part of it, right?"
Chen Yutian also smiled slightly and said: "Yes, when I found this fragment from the scene, I realized part of it, but I still want to confirm with Brother Ling, whether you... can be the same as when the Nine Snakes were exterminated Is it related to the Feng family?"
Hearing this, not only everyone in Taiyi Tianfu, but also Xue Tianhan and Xuan Xi who came with Chen Yutian were slightly startled.
Xuan Xi looked at Chen Yutian in disbelief, "They... are related to the murder of the Feng family?"
Xue Tianhan also couldn't believe it, but if he calmed down and thought about it carefully, it was indeed not impossible... Since the fragments of Ling Xiaowu's clothes appeared at the scene, it meant that he must have been to the scene of the crime. So what was he doing at the crime scene? The answer is self-evident.
At the scene of the crime, only the murderer and the deceased were present. Since he appeared at the scene, his target was either the deceased or the murderer, or directly the two of them, and the two of them have one thing in common. , that is the snake head of the Nine Snakes Society.
As for the events related to the Nine Snakes Society, the first thing that comes to mind is the massacre of the Feng family that caused a sensation in the martial arts world! In this way, it is naturally very normal for Chen Yutian to think of this matter.
However, when these words fell in the ears of Ling Xiaowu and others, it was like a thunder exploding in their ears, making all of them feel a terrible feeling from their hearts for a moment.
This feeling comes from Chen Yutian's ability to know things like a god.
"Brother Chen is really worthy of the title of detective. You can even guess such a thing..." Ling Xiaowu was silent for a long time, then smiled slightly, then looked at Chen Yutian sincerely, and said, "Not bad... between us There are indeed people related to the Feng family back then, and the reason why we left Taiyi Tianfu together and appeared in the capital this time is because a month ago, Taiyi Tianfu received an anonymous letter without a signature... The letter clearly states that the Nine Snakes Association, which exterminated my Feng family in the past, will gather in the capital in the near future. If you want to take revenge, don’t miss this opportunity!"
Hearing this, Chen Yutian nodded slightly as if he had expected it.
But Xuan Xi and Xue Tianhan on the side looked at Ling Xiaowu in front of them with indescribable expressions.
Ling Xiaowu's words made it clear enough that he himself was the orphan of the Feng family who was exterminated by the Nine Snakes in the past. Otherwise, when he mentioned the Feng family, he would never add the following An "I" word.
"I really didn't expect that Ling Xiaowu was actually the person related to the Feng family... In this case, it is not difficult to explain that he would appear at the scene... But how did he know that the Nine Snakes and the Snake Head would be there? Where is it?"
Xue Tianhan stared at Ling Xiaowu with stern eyes, a trace of deep thought emerging from his expression.
Chen Yutian also touched his chin and pondered for a moment, then asked: "You just said that there was an anonymous letter telling you that the nine snake heads of the Nine Snakes Association will gather in the capital in the near future... Then do you know who wrote this anonymous letter? ?”
Ling Xiaowu smiled bitterly and said: "Of course I don't know... If I knew who sent the letter, I wouldn't say it was an anonymous letter."
Chen Yutian was stunned for a moment, and then realized that he seemed to have asked a stupid question, so he had to smile bitterly and said: "That's true, but I was abrupt... I don't know how Brother Ling knew that that night in the bamboo forest , is there an enemy you are looking for?"
Hearing this question, Ling Xiaowu's expression condensed slightly, he looked at Chen Yutian, and said in a deep voice: "Even if you don't ask, Brother Chen, I will tell you... Actually, the reason why I did that that night I know they are in the dense forest because of an anonymous letter I received."
"Oh? Another anonymous letter?" Chen Yutian was surprised!
Ling Xiaowu nodded and added: "Not only that, the handwriting on the anonymous letter and the paper used to write it are exactly the same as the one I received at Taiyi Tianfu before. I can confirm that those two letters should be It’s from the same person.”
"Oh?" Hearing this, Chen Yutian's brows furrowed more and more.
Xuan Xi, who was on the side, seemed to have discovered something was wrong at this moment. He narrowed his beautiful eyes and began to ponder.
"Are the two anonymous letters written in exactly the same handwriting and paper?" Xue Tianhan also frowned slightly.
At this moment, Liu Huangcui on the side also spoke.
"Actually, there is one more thing that I think you should also know... In fact, as early as when we established Taiyi Tianfu, we began to inquire about the nine snake heads of the Nine Snakes Association in the world, but they had already They disappeared in the rivers and lakes. Although we sent spies to investigate in many ways, it was to no avail. We have been searching for so many years, but we have not been able to find out their whereabouts. However, the person who wrote the anonymous letter was able to easily point out their whereabouts twice, especially The previous time, from reading between the lines of his words, it seems that he was extremely confident that the nine snake heads would gather in the capital, and he was not worried at all that it would not happen... This point seems problematic no matter how you look at it."
