"You don't have to use this method..." Wei Kui backed down slightly and avoided Xu Ling's fiery eyes, "But at least you, the person who made the suggestion, need to let me see your sincerity, right?"
Perhaps realizing that there was some ambiguity in his words, Old Wei quickly added an explanation: "I'm talking about your desire to dominate the Green Forest, not about men and women."
"Hmph..." Xu Ling sneered, her ambiguous expression gone: "Just say it...what do you need me to do?"
Wei Kui crossed his arms and made a very obvious vigilance gesture, but still smiled on his face: "It seems that you are still not as smart as you show."
Hearing this, Xu Ling's expression was a little sullen, but she calmed down in an instant - as a daughter, she achieved the position of the Ten Palaces of Yama, relying not only on her good martial arts and beauty, but also on her intelligence. She is also good at planning, and this resourcefulness is always well concealed by her two other very obvious characteristics. It's just that in this world, especially in killing fields like Green Forest, men still have more advantages, so the development of the power under her command has been tepid.
However, Wei Kui's taunting made her feel a little dissatisfied, so she said angrily: "Since I was born, this is the first time I have heard someone comment that I "look" smart, and no one commented that I am "not smart enough." ”. ".
"It seems that you like to pretend to be a pig and eat the tiger." Seeing Xu Ling's behavior, Wei Kui seemed to be a bit instructive, but to the ears of others, it sounded like sarcasm: "I don't I know what those people you met in the past said about you, but I have to tell you... you have to accept this reality."
"There's nothing wrong with not being smart enough. Just make up for it in other ways." Old Wei looked sincere.
"Then tell me, what does it mean to be "smart enough"? "Xu Ling was obviously very disdainful of Wei Kui's evaluation, and even her tone became indifferent.
"From my personal humble opinion, the kind of guy who always looks gloomy as if someone in his family has died, and who euphemistically says he has a deep city or keeps a low profile, is definitely not the best mind." Unexpectedly, one day he will be old. Wei can actually talk to others about wisdom and scheming: "A truly smart guy will not pretend so deliberately, nor will he expect others to be fools. Some of them even don't need to pretend at all. He goes to that direction." From the moment you stand, you know that he has exquisite orifices, but even if you know that he has a plan, you can't imagine what he is thinking at all."
"Listen to what you said, do you mean you seem to be this kind of person?" Xu Ling glared at Wei Kui. She knew that this man had an arrogant personality. He did have the talent and confidence in martial arts, but if There seems to be nothing too outstanding about the mind, right?
"I'm not, but I know such people, and there are more than one." If the answers before this were all sincere, then the next step is Lao Wei's weird words: "As for myself... at least I know, if If you want to gain the trust of others and prove your abilities - at least you don't need others to assign tasks to you."
Xu Ling also understood Wei Kui's attitude at this time, and she also understood Wei Kui's subtext - he asked her to do something according to her own ideas. If this was successful, she would have proved her ability. Cooperation still needs to be discussed; but if her own plan fails and is leaked, Wei Kui will naturally not take the blame with her. She will have to bear the blame for how others treat her.
"Anyway, the little girl has learned a lesson today." Xu Ling's face was also a little uncertain, but she still did not give up the idea of conspiring with Wei Kui: "I just hope you won't break your promise then."
"If you really want to cooperate, then I will naturally not give up an ally." Old Wei also narrowed his eyes. …
Less than a quarter of an hour after Xu Ling left, Wei Kui had just returned to his thinking state when he heard another knock on the door. This time, he was quite confused and anxious. When he opened the door again, he saw that It's this uninvited guest again.
"Come with me, something happened again." Outside the door was Xu Ling's flustered and anxious face. Wei Kui thought for a moment, and then ran out after her.
When Xu Ling and Wei Kui arrived, two people had already arrived, and where they were
The location happened to be the area that had been surveyed during the day - the entrance to Emperor Song's room.
"Are you here too?" Brother Shuhao looked back when he heard the rushing footsteps behind him.
"I just passed by and noticed something happened here, so I went to call Wei Kui over. I didn't expect you to see it too..." Judging from Xu Ling's words, she should have arrived earlier than her brother Shu Hao.
Wei Kui walked to the nearest distance from the door of the room, and with the help of the lantern carried by his brother Shuhao, he saw a line of small words written on the wall with unknown materials. However, it was not human blood, but it must be pig blood or chicken blood. .
"Cowardly and greedy people, tear out their hearts." Before Wei Kui's arrival, none of the other three could read this sentence completely - of course, I'm not saying that Old Wei can do it, but at least Fortunately, the literacy skills of each of them overlapped, so in the end, the four of them gathered their strength and finally read out this murderous sentence in blood.
"It's clear that this line of writing didn't exist during the day, so someone must have written it within this day." Ge Shuhao muttered.
"The scope doesn't have to be that big... When I came out to find Wei Kui, there wasn't even this blood book here." Xu Ling walked closer and smelled a strong smell of blood, "That means it's not here." Within an hour, someone wrote these things here.
Different from everyone else's focus, Wei Kui touched his thorn-like chin thoughtfully: "Cut out the heart, is this talking about the way Emperor Song died? But what we saw during the day Although Emperor Song was stabbed in the heart and died, his body was intact. Doesn’t it fit with this sentence?”
The person standing next to Ge Shuhao is the former subordinate of King Pingping, named Yang Hong. He is tall and slender, looking like a bamboo pole from a distance. At this moment, he also followed Wei Kui's train of thought and continued. : "Since the words were just written not long ago, then the things were probably done freshly."
As soon as Yang Hong was talking, Wei Kui had already taken action. He winked at a few people and signaled them to get out of the way, then he flew open the door with his kick, and the four people rushed into the house. Sure enough, they saw There was something strange about the Song Emperor's body.
Several people clearly remembered that during the day, everyone wrapped the body of the Song Emperor in white cloth and mat and placed it on the bed. But now, all of them were thrown aside indiscriminately, leaving only the disemboweled body on the bed. The corpse was indeed empty at the heart.
The four of them were either fighting men on the battlefield or fierce villains in the green forest. Who hasn't seen a few corpses that died in horrible conditions? Even though the scene was so bloody and ferocious, a few people just frowned, covered their mouths and noses and explored again, but other than the corpse itself being ripped open, there were no other changes in the house. .
"By the way...what does the City King want to do with him?" After what happened in the morning, Brother Shu Hao obviously didn't dare to offend Wei Wei, but Yang Hong was different. He was not as straightforward as Brother Shu Hao, but He has a playful and smiling face.
"It's none of your business." Before Xu Ling could answer, Wei Kui shouted, "I also want to ask why you two are running out in the middle of the night!"
Yang Hong obviously wasn't too afraid of Wei Kui, and he agreed straightforwardly: "Don't forget, you killed both of our eldest brothers, why don't we two be allowed to discuss how to take revenge?"
Wei Kui didn't dislike Yang Hong's directness, so he stopped being aggressive: "When you guys come to an agreement, you can come to me to seek revenge. I'd like to see what kind of solution you can come up with."
Suddenly, Wei Kui seemed to have remembered something. He raised his head and asked everyone, "During your inspection during the day, did you search the inside of this cabinet and under the bed?"
"I searched it. There was nothing under the bed, and there was nothing in the cabinet except some luggage of Emperor Song. What's wrong?" Ge Shuhao responded.
Wei Kui was silent for a while, and then asked everyone a question: "Why don't you think the murderer got rid of this troublesome task of heart-wrenching and writing during the day? He had to wait until now?"
Everyone realized that Wei Kui had something to say, and they all looked at him. Wei Kui stopped holding his words and said bluntly: "I think there are four possibilities in total."
"The first is that the murderer deliberately killed
The two things were done separately, killing people during the day and taking out people's hearts at night, but the specific reasons for doing so were not clear. "
"Second, the murderer originally wanted to do everything at once, but he just killed the Song Emperor in the morning because he didn't have enough time, so he had to hang the body here to dry and wait until evening to complete the funeral."
"The third type is that there is more than one murderer, or that he has an accomplice, but the two of them did not cooperate well for various reasons, so one of them killed the person, but it took a whole day for the other to have a chance to leave a blood letter, but if It is a coordinated crime, of course it may also be done deliberately like the first case, but there are not many people here who can cooperate with each other."
"As for the fourth possibility, there is still only one murderer, but the person who wrote the letter is not the murderer, and he may not even know who the murderer is... but for some ulterior purpose, he used the body of Emperor Song to come Pretend to be a ghost."
