God catches no trace

Chapter 118 Shop

Chapter 3: Shop

"Yeah, there are so many people on the street, why are the doors closed?"

They dismounted.

Sang Wuhen walked to the gold shop first.

I checked, it wasn't locked.

Then push the door with your hands.

A strange thing happened, it was not tied inside, and it opened at once.

Feeling suspicious, he took a stride and stepped in.

As soon as I got inside, my nose smelled a strong smell of blood.

"Brother Wuhen, something happened."

Shui Sheng, who followed closely behind, said.

Sang Wuhen didn't say a word, his face darkened slightly, and his eyes glanced under the counter in front of him.

Suddenly, it was discovered that there were two corpses lying on the ground with their heads separated from their bodies, and the blood had clotted all over the ground.

Judging by clothes and faces.

The two are very young.

"Man, the man in the store." Shui Sheng said again.

"Yes." Sang Wuhen replied.

As soon as I moved, I rushed to the counter and looked inside. All kinds of gold products were lying on the plate, and no one had touched them.

When I regained my composure, I found that there was a plate full of the same items as those on Xiucai yesterday.

It turned out that what Qu San got was decorations, and the suspicion of keys and the like was purely a wrong guess, and there was no secret at all.

After seeing it, he moved his footsteps and walked to a rolling curtain.

He knew that the inside was the place where shopkeepers met and negotiated, that is, the living room, so he opened it with his hands, and with a flash of his body, he went in.

The hall is very spacious, and one can see at a glance that there are also a man and a woman lying on the ground, holding swords in their hands.It's a pity: just like the hall, the head and body are separated.

Obviously, when they wanted to resist, they were fatally hit by the murderer.

Because chairs, tables, vases, such things are intact,

The whole space gave people an impression, and there was no trace of a fight.

"Isn't this Hua Fengqiao and Lu Dafan in "The Four Ruthless Thieves"?" Li Qiuyu looked at it and said.

"You know them?" Sang Wuhen and Shui Sheng were surprised.

"One day two years ago, Master asked me to go down the mountain to buy some things in the market. On the way, I saw the two of them fighting with others. They might be young and didn't understand anything, so they rescued them."

"Why haven't we heard of their names?"

"It's not surprising that you haven't heard of it. The "Four Ruthless Thieves" have only become famous in Jianghu in recent years."

So, there are four of them in total, how about two more?Could it be that the scholar is also one of them?Also, Hua Fengqiao and Lu Dafan are obviously shopkeepers of the branch.But why did the Jiang family let the thieves manage it?
When Sang Wuhen thought of this, he felt that there were too many questions, and it was difficult to clarify them for a while. The problems should be solved one by one.

"Qiu Yu, do you know the other two of them?"

"I don't know each other. They didn't say anything that day, they only reported their own names."

"Brother Wuhen, do you suspect that the murderer is targeting the four of them?"

"That's right, the murderer can't kill people for money. You have also checked, and there seems to be no shortage of gold and silver jewelry in the counter in front of the hall. In addition, their death method is exactly the same as that of the scholars in Ping'an Town."

"You suspect that Xiucai is also one of the four thieves."

"Don't you have any doubts?"

"I'm thinking the same thing. But, why didn't Xiucai separate his head from his body?"

"It's a simple explanation. The murderer's weapon is not long enough."

Well, the explanation makes sense.Shui Sheng thought.

Sang Wuhen glanced at her, and continued: "Judging from the blood coagulation of the corpse, it should have been killed yesterday afternoon or evening."

"Brother Sang, what do you mean: the murderer killed the two of them first, and then went to kill the scholar?" Seeing that their analysis was well-founded, Li Qiuyu couldn't help interjecting.

"There shouldn't be any doubts. I think now: who is the fourth one and where is he? Was he killed?" he responded.

"Could the fourth one be the murderer? Maybe they're not evenly sharing the spoils, causing internal strife?" Shui Sheng's mind flashed.

"The idea is right, but you overlooked one of the most important factors: Is there anyone among the four thieves who has such a strong martial arts?"

"should not."

She blushed, secretly blaming herself for not being considerate.

"Judging from the incisions on the body and head, we don't know what kind of sharp weapon killed them. However, we can be sure that the murderer's methods are cruel and merciless. One use is a killer move, taking people's lives,"

"Brother Wuhen, could it be a hidden weapon?"

"I've also considered this issue, probably not, there is no hidden weapon that can cut off a person's head at once."

"Could it be a thin and long sharp weapon?" Li Qiuyu asked.

"You mean: like hair?"

"Correct."

"It makes sense."

He recalled that Qu San once said that in the alley, he saw a scholar running in his direction, which proved that at that time, his neck must not have been injured.The exact time of actually receiving the fatal blow should have been in front of Qu San's eyes. If the invisible weapon that kills people is not long enough, and it is not so thin that people can't feel its existence, Qu San used to be a policeman, so he will definitely notice it. .

"What is this murder weapon made of?"

Li Qiuyu shook his head: You are so smart that you can't figure it out, so how would I know.

"Okay, let's put it aside for now, the only thing we have to do now is to find out who the fourth thief is. I hope he is still alive, so that we can understand the motive of the murderer."

"Brother Wuhen, the fourth one should also be hidden in a nearby town."

"Judging from the situation of the scholar and their residence, it is very possible that they may be in Wuhu, but we don't know."

Shui Sheng and Li Qiuyu nodded.

Now that I have this premonition, how should I find it?The last big thief is the key.

Seeing the confusion on Sang Wuhen's face, Shui Sheng also had no clue.

"Are we going to solve another problem?" Li Qiuyu said with a smile.

"what is the problem?"

"Don't you feel hungry?"

"Hungry, of course I'm hungry, Brother Wuhen, I'm afraid it's almost Shenshi now, if you don't eat, it will be dark." Shui Sheng recalled suddenly and shouted.

Sang Wuhen glanced at them, slightly apologetic: "Oh, I forgot."

"Then let's go." Li Qiuyu seemed very anxious.He said again, "What should I do here?"

"Closing the door for the time being, I don't think anything will go wrong. I'll see Yi Cheng tomorrow."

.........

Night fell quickly.

The bustling street during the day has also become deserted.

Occasionally only men walk through.

Sang Wuhen was standing in front of the vent window on the second floor of the "Hua Ming" inn, looking down.

"What are you looking at?" Shui Sheng approached.

"Bring some air." A smile.

"Are you tired of thinking about it during the day?"

"Shui Sheng, look." Sang Wuhen didn't answer, but said something and pointed down with his finger.

She followed her fingers to the center of the street: she saw a stooped old man with a bag on his back and coughing from time to time, walking slowly towards the inn.

At this time, Li Qiuyu came out from the inside, saw the two people looking down, and said, "What's so interesting about this, isn't it just an old man who looks like a beggar?"

"Sister, take a closer look at his feet." Shui Sheng seemed to see something tricky.

"Big and fat, obviously not suitable for his age, this person is easy to be overbearing?"

"Yes, although he walks very slowly, the soles of his feet are very solid."

"Indeed, but what does it matter to us?"

Also, if others like disguise, what does it matter to us?
