God catches no trace

Chapter 33
Volume Three: God Catch Without Trace: Puzzle
Chapter 1: Blood
Wind, spring breeze.

Rain, spring rain.

Drifting in this small town of Xinkou.

At this moment, it is almost dusk.

A cobblestone-paved street in a small town is empty.

No one could be seen, and occasionally, the signboard cloth in front of the shop fluttering in the wind flashed in front of my eyes.

At this time, a large blue and white sedan chair carried by four people came rushing forward as if there was nothing in the sedan chair.

Just looking at the people carrying the sedan chair, one can tell that they are definitely not mediocre. Their arms are muscular, their faces are powerful, and their faces are determined.

In a blink of an eye, he walked across the side street and ran forward.

After turning a corner, I stopped slowly in front of a (farm cottage) house.

The four of them stood up straight in the rain, without saying a word.

In an instant, the car door slowly opened, and a middle-aged man, wearing black robes, tall and tall, with an indifferent face, walked out with an umbrella in his hand.

He knocked on the closed door of the house.

"Who is it?" a rough voice asked.

"Brother Mozi, brother Ye Wentian came here to ask for something."

The door opened with a "squeak".

A man with strong body and sharp eyes appeared in front of Ye Wentian.

"The disciples of the Great Zhao Sect pay respects to the uncle." The four men in the rain clasped their fists together and bowed slightly, saying in unison.

"No." Then he looked surprised: "Brother, why are you here?"

"I have something to do with you." Ye Wentian said.

"Find me? Come in and talk."

A group of five people stepped into the house after hearing about it.

The main room is relatively spacious and clean.

"Senior brother and junior, please be angry that I don't entertain you well, no one greets you in the humble house, everyone sit down by yourself."

After Mozi finished speaking, he bent over and sat on a wooden chair.

"Junior brother, knowing that you are alone, why be polite."

After everyone was seated, Mozi asked: "Senior brother, what is the matter, let you come to the humble house in person?"

"Hey, please don't remember that I was cruel to you back then. After all, I was a senior brother. Now, I also regret it. I let you live in seclusion in this desolate town for almost six years."

"Don't mention the past, I'm used to living like this."

"Today, I really had no choice but to come to you." Ye Wentian looked melancholy.

"What's the matter?"

"Speaking out, it is related to the life and death of my Great Zhao Clan, more than 100 lives." Ye Wentian's eyes turned red.

"Ah, it's impossible." Mozi turned pale when he heard that, "The Great Zhao Sect has risen in the Jianghu for more than [-] years, who would dare to offend?"

"Have you ever heard of one?"

"Who?"

"A little red" Ning Xiaodan. "

"I've heard that this person has a great reputation in the world. He debuted for only one year and has never failed. It is said that his hidden weapon "Laughing Lianhua" is even more powerful than Luomen's "Huanhua Finger" in the past."

"Yes. This is the latest, most poisonous, ruthless, and most mysterious new type of hidden weapon that has appeared in the world recently.
"how do I say this?"

"Because no one has seen what this hidden weapon is? Everyone who has seen it is dead, and there has never been a living."

"What does that have to do with the Great Zhao Sect?"

""A Little Red" Ning Xiaodan spread the wind in the rivers and lakes, saying that he wanted to kill my Great Zhao Clan."

"Why?" Mozi opened his eyes wide. "Big Zhao Sect has no grudges against him."

"Yeah, I can't figure it out either."

"If he kills innocent people indiscriminately for no reason, isn't he a lunatic?" Mozi said.

"Yes, the key point is that no one knows him, so it's hard to guard against."

"What do you think, brother?"

"Although the hidden weapons of the Great Zhao Sect have a place in the martial arts, just in case, I still want to ask my junior to return to the Great Zhao Sect." Ye Wentian said sincerely.

"Me? Back?"

"I think the master's unique skill "Xing Wuyu" can stop Ning Xiaodan's "Laughing and Lianhua".

"To be honest, I really don't want to go back to the rivers and lakes. I'm used to living in seclusion." Mozi refused.

"Junior brother, in fact, Master wanted you to be the head of the sect at the beginning, so he taught you the hidden weapon "Xing Wuyu". It's only because I have too much fame and fortune. Thinking about it now, I am ashamed of you."

"Forget it, let the past go."

"For the sake of master's hard work and the more than 100 people in the Great Zhao Sect, junior brother, please forgive me for not going back to the Great Zhao Sect."

"Here, let me think about it."

"I can't let you think, Junior Brother, this matter is imminent, maybe something big will happen someday."

"Could it be that "A Little Red" Ning Xiaodan scares you?" Mozi said.

"His hidden weapon has never been seen before. I think it should be treated with caution. Personal safety does not matter. I am afraid that the entire Great Zhao Clan will suffer misfortune."

"Okay, I'll tidy up at home tomorrow, and I'll go back to Dazhaomen the day after tomorrow." Seeing his senior brother's sincere words, Mozi was finally moved by him, and said without hesitation.

"Junior Brother, I hope to see you at Dazhao Gate the day after tomorrow."

"rest assured."

……

night, very deep.

Rain, non-stop.

On a muddy path, four disciples from the Great Zhao Sect carried their master back.

Although the road was a little slippery, their pace was definitely very fast, because it was still about [-] miles away from Jingzhou.

Suddenly, a man with a hat on his head stood quietly in the middle of the path, blocking their progress.

The four people who carried the sedan chair were shocked!
In this rain, in this late night, who would be so bored, standing on this path?

Unless sick.

Unless there is an ulterior purpose.

The former, certainly not.

The latter is not a good person.

The four quickly put down the sedan chair.

"Master, there are people ahead."

"Is there someone?" Ye Wentian in the sedan chair was very surprised.

"Excuse me, my friend from that road? Can I borrow the road?" one of the disciples of the Great Zhao Sect asked.

"It's not a friend, and it's not an excuse." The person blocking the way said coldly.

"Then what do you want to do?"

"Death."

"who?"

"The lives of all of you."

The man in the bamboo hat didn't finish his sentence.

A few black dots hit him quickly.

The four people who carried the sedan chair started first.

It is better to act first, and everyone understands this truth.

"Hey, the "Snow Line Nails" of the Great Zhao Gate." The man in the bamboo hat gave a strange laugh.

Then he leaned slightly, but he didn't see him fight back, maybe it was too fast, or maybe the night was too dark for people to see clearly.

Suddenly, the four disciples of the Great Zhao Sect covered their faces and screamed loudly.Then, he knelt down and fell down slowly.

.........

After several days and nights of rain, it finally stopped.

On the muddy road in the morning, a few horses were running fast.

Sitting on his back with a plain knife on his waist, holding the rein in one hand and raising the whip in the other, he is catching fast.

The leader was a young man with a round face and a slightly plump figure.

"Butou Nie, when will we arrive?" said a man behind him with a small box on his back.

It seems that this is the work of the yamen.

"Don't worry, Chen Yuzuo, right away." Nie Butou responded.

After about 10 minutes, they slowed down and saw a sedan chair leaning on the ground in front of them, the curtain of the sedan chair was torn in a mess.

Nie Butou got off the horse, and observed the whole scene around the sedan chair with his eyes: a few fell down in the middle of the path with their hair scattered, and their faces could not be seen, their bodies were stained red with blood and the mud on the ground.They were motionless, apparently out of breath.There was also a face down man lying in the sedan chair.

Chen Yuzuo came to the corpses with a small box on his back, and said, "Butou Nie, please protect the area around the scene and prevent outsiders from entering."

"Don't worry, you just checked."

He put down the box, then leaned over, and gently lifted a corpse with his hands, trying to see the face of the deceased.

Suddenly, he got up and took a step back, his face full of horror.

"Chen Yuzuo, what's wrong?"

"Bootou Nie, I've been an assistant for almost ten years, and I haven't encountered such a horrible incident."

After speaking, he pointed with his finger.

Nie Butou followed his fingers to see that the deceased had no face, except that the clothing looked like a human body from the surface, which was obviously a skeleton.

That is to say, the deceased has become a skeleton, a fresh and bloody skeleton.

"Chen Yuzuo, this... how to check?" Nie Butou asked in surprise.

"It's also the first time I've encountered it, and I've never heard of it before." Chen Yuzuo said while uncovering the other four corpses, all of which were the same as the first one.

Reassuring, though: They all wear a carved wooden sign around their waists.

Chen Yuzuo took a look: "They are all from the Great Zhao Sect."

"Great Zhao Sect, master of hidden weapons?"

"Yes."

"How did they die here?"

"How would I know." Chen Yuzuo smiled wryly.

"Can't you find any clues?" Nie Butou asked.

"A case like this that turned a person into a skeleton in an instant, to be honest, is really incredible. It is difficult to find clues."

"Then what should we do now?"

"Since it happened within our jurisdiction, investigate, definitely investigate."

As soon as the words were finished, a horse came quickly, with a young policeman sitting on it.

The visitor dismounted and walked directly in front of Nie Butou and Chen Yuzuo.

Pu Dao flattened his chest and clasped his fists together.

"Nie Butou, Chen Yuzuo, the villain Hua Mingque has received an order from Jingzhou prefect Xie Da, please go to Dazhaomen."

"Great Zhaomen?" Nie Butou and Chen Yuzuo looked at each other, "Could something big happen?"

"Brother, do you know what's going on?"

"The villain really doesn't know, Mr. Xie told you to rush there as soon as possible without delay." Hua Mingque said.

"Ok."

He turned to the policemen: "You move these bones to Yizhuang for the time being. Chen Yuzuo and I will go to Dazhaomen, and we will go to see them after we return to the yamen."

After finishing speaking, Nie Chutou jumped on his horse, and together with Chen Yuzuo and Hua Mingque, they drove off with a whip.

.........

Jingzhou.

Located in the middle reaches of the Yangtze River, it has a large population and is extremely prosperous. It has been a battleground for military strategists since ancient times. (I won’t go into details here, you can check the information online.)
"Wanfu Restaurant" is located in the north of the city.

At this time, it was noon, the restaurant was overcrowded, and the business was particularly prosperous.

Several guys kept walking, serving food and wine.

The shopkeeper is a middle-aged man who also bows and greets different guests with a smile on his face.

At this time, several policemen with plain knives strode in.

"Shopkeeper, is there any room?" A tall man called out. (The wing room is a single room, a quiet place for guests to eat and avoid being disturbed by others.)
"Catcher, it's gone. How about you make it up?" The middle-aged shopkeeper accompanied him with a smiling face.

"Your grandma, grandpa is working so hard on cases here, there is no place for you to eat leisurely." The tall man shouted.

Then he sharpened his eyes and turned to the shopkeeper: "You need someone to make room for you immediately, otherwise..." The simple knife in his hand swung a flower in the air and put it on his shoulder.

"Catcher, catcher, this, this is very difficult..." The middle-aged man stuttered in fright.

"Do you want me to drive away all the guests here, you just..." Gao Da didn't finish his sentence quickly.

He only heard a sound of "Zi", and there was an extra rice ball in his mouth, which just sealed his mouth.

The rest of them peeked at each other, and they didn't know where the rice balls came from.

Gao Da spit it out quickly, and said angrily: "Where is this junior, dare to plot against me?"
