God catches no trace

Chapter 41

Chapter 9: Fear

Night is beautiful.

The beauty is intoxicating.

Moonlight, pure and white.

As white as a bride's veil.

The wind is very small.

It is so small that it can only be felt slightly on the cheek.

The mountains and fields are quiet.

It's so quiet that even the crickets' tiny cries are like beautiful songs.

The field road is very narrow.

It is so narrow that even a carriage cannot pass.

At this time, the sound of messy footsteps broke the silent night.

The two figures quickly ran from south to north on the small road, one behind the other.

"Brother, wait for me."

shouted the man behind.

The figure in front of him did not respond, and his footsteps continued.

"Brother, I can't run anymore." After saying that, he squatted down and sat directly on the side of the path.

The figure in front turned his head to look, and heaved a sigh of relief.

"Third brother, aren't you afraid that someone will catch up with you?" There was a lingering fear in his voice.

"I'm afraid, really..." The voice of the third younger brother was also slightly panicked.

The figure in front of him was obviously a man. He stopped, supported the package on his body with his hands, and walked towards the third brother.

"Third brother, you and I have been in the rivers and lakes for many years, today may be the most annoying..." After finishing speaking, I didn't want to finish.His eyes looked at the path he had come by, for fear that someone might appear behind him.

"Brother, I think I will stop doing it in the future and change my ways."

"Scared?"

"I'm afraid, whoever encounters such a thing is not afraid." The third brother said tremblingly.

"That's right, seeing a living person suddenly turn into a skeleton, it's strange not to be afraid." The eldest brother said.

"Don't mention it, my heart trembles when I think of it."

"Brother is up to you. However, there is still something to gain tonight." After finishing speaking, he patted and tied the wrap belt on his chest.

"Damn it, I wanted to divide the things in one place peacefully, but I didn't expect to encounter such a frightening thing." When the third brother saw the package, his eyes shone, and his courage seemed to be back to his former self.

"Third brother, if you haven't seen that incident, forget about it, what should we do in the future?"

"it is good."

This "good" just finished.

"Is there a future?" A cold voice came from behind.The open space looks particularly eerie.

The two of them suddenly felt cold, and their souls flew away.Kneeling on both knees, lowering his head, bowing his hands, he said: "Hero, please forgive us, I really didn't mean to..."

"What a hero, you see clearly." The man behind interrupted them.

The two looked up, and their souls quickly returned to their places, only to see a catcher standing in front of him holding a simple knife.

"Master Nie, it turned out to be you."

"Flowers are long and thick, so what did you steal from others?"

The person who came was none other than Nie Rufeng. It turned out that the "Fighting Master" Zhan Fei confessed after he was brought back to the case that he was instructed by others to intercept the prefect's wife and the lady's sedan chair, and was about to take them away and hand them over to his employer. He would get a lot of commission .As for who the employer is and what purpose they have, they don't know at all.

After Xie Zhizhou knew the truth, he was furious and immediately asked Nie Rufeng to lead the police to investigate.Tonight, Qiu Yijun, the catcher in Jishui Town, sent a letter saying that he had a clue.

So, Nie Rufeng rode a horse overnight, riding on the moonlight, from Jingzhou to Jishui Town.

Unexpectedly, at the fork of the official road, I saw two figures running hurriedly towards the path.

Out of professional sensitivity, he knew that there was something suspicious, but the path was too narrow, and riding a horse would cause him to miss the road, so he had to hop lightly and catch up.

"Master Nie, we did nothing wrong."

"Well, you two are habitual thieves. I have caught you at least ten times. Before you were caught, didn't you say that?"

"Yes, yes, Master Nie, I hope we will be spared this time."

"What am I doing, you don't know?"

Flowers are before, and flowers are thick for a while.

After a while, Hua Youqian suddenly said: "Master Nie, let me tell you something, I hope to make up for it."

"Oh, what's the matter?"

"You will know once you go with us. I can't explain clearly with words." Hua Youqian said.

In fact, it's not that I can't explain clearly, I'm afraid Nie Rufeng won't believe it, so it's best to let him go and see the scene.

"I go with you?"

"Don't worry, Master Nie, we will never cheat. This matter is too scary."

Nie Rufeng looked at the moon in the sky and knew that it was the second watch.

So he said: "Well, as long as you don't cheat, go to the inn in the town to stay now. Go tomorrow morning. If this matter is worthwhile, I can consider a lighter punishment."

Hua Youqian and Hua Youhou hesitated for a moment, then nodded.

......

Jishui Town.

A small town with mountains, water and plains.

The population is small, but the residents are concentrated.

Therefore, it is quite lively.

Nie Rufeng brought Hua Youqian and Hua Youhou with him, and at this moment, he was eating breakfast at the table in the lobby of the inn.

Business is not very good in the morning, which can be described as very few.

At this time, three people walked in outside.

A man, two girls.

"Shopkeeper, do you have food and drink?" one of the women asked.

When Nie Rufeng saw it, he was overjoyed. "Master Sang."

Sang Wuhen was startled.

Then he took a look: "Butou Nie, why are you here?"

"Master Sang, let's have dinner together and talk while eating." After speaking, he ordered the shopkeeper to add bowls, chopsticks and wine glasses.

Sang Wuhen, Shui Sheng, and Xia Rupiao would certainly not refuse.

So, several people sat around a table.

"These two?" Sang Wuhen glanced at Hua Youqian, Hua Youhou.

Because judging from their appearance, they don't look like friends.

When asked, Nie Rufeng told the whole story.

"Oh, why can't you talk now?" Sang Wuhen asked Hua Chaoqian and Hua Chaohou after listening.

"My lord, I'm afraid that you won't believe me. It's best to go to the scene today and find out."

Sang Wuhen thought to himself: Yes, we will go whether we say it or not.

……

A hut.

The so-called thatched house means that the walls are supported by thick bamboo and grass rolls, the exterior is all smoothed with thin mud, and the roof is covered with a thick layer of straw.

It is surrounded by water ditches and rice fields, and there is a small road leading to the town.

The moment Sang Wuhen and others stepped into the house, they smelled a strong smell of blood.

"Master Nie, look here." Hua Youqian pointed to the corner of the wall and said.

Sure enough, there was a pile of clothes on the ground in the corner, surrounded by blood.

Sang Wuhen took a few steps forward and saw the skull covered by the clothes.

""Xiao Lianhua" killed the person. He was shocked.

"How on earth did you find out that there was a corpse here?"

Hua Youqian was silent for a while, before saying: "Sir, my third brother and I went to the town yesterday to get something from a rich family."

"Are you taking it?" Nie Rufeng interrupted, his eyes widening.

"Yes, it's stealing, stealing..." He blushed: "On the way back, we are going to divide the things here. I have stayed in this thatched house several times before, so I am familiar with it and no one lives in it."

"Have you shared the spoils here a few times?" Nie Rufeng said again.

"Master Nie, yes, yes."

Sang Wuhen smiled: "Continue."

"When we walked not far from here, we saw a light inside. At that time, we felt very strange, why there is light in the thatched cottage that has not been lived in for a long time. The question is the question, we still quietly approached the window to spy, and saw two people inside the house, A middle-aged man and a young man were talking. "Master, why did you invite me to this place. The young man asked. "I don't want to either, but this place is secluded, and there are some things that can be said at ease." The middle-aged man replied. "Then what's the matter with finding disciples?" ""Does the Zhaomen case have anything to do with you?" ""

Hearing this, Sang Wuhen's heart moved, could it be that these two people...

"The middle-aged man asked directly, "No.Why do I want to kill so many people? "The young man replied decisively. "That's right, you have no enmity with the Great Zhao Clan, but you just hope that you won't be deceived into being a teacher." "Master, how dare I." Who knows, just as the word "dare" came out, the boy suddenly moved his hand, and several black objects flew towards the middle-aged man, and said loudly, "Don't blame me for being cruel, you are too timid to accomplish great things." Unexpectedly, the middle-aged man seemed to have been on guard for a long time. He took a few steps back suddenly, and waved his coat sleeves in a circle. With a cry, the muscles on his face suddenly burst, turning into blood and flowing down slowly one by one, turning into a skeleton in an instant."

When Hua Youqian said this, he obviously noticed that his hands were shaking.

After a short break, he continued: "Maybe the young man never expected that Master was on guard for a long time, and reacted so quickly when he made a move. So when I was caught off guard, I was caught instead. My third brother and I were Looking at the window, I was terrified. I wanted to run, but found that I had no strength at all. But if we don’t leave now, our lives are absolutely in danger. We can only move slowly. Fortunately, we walked about 50 meters, and the door of the thatched cottage was not opened. Wait for a little recovery Physical strength, and only then began to run wildly."

After Hua Youqian finished speaking, she seemed to be suffering from a serious illness and her face was pale.

No wonder he refused to say it. Anyone who sees such a scene would be frightened.Sang Wuhen thought.

"Brother Wuhen, can you guess who the deceased is?" Shui Sheng asked softly.

"Don't guess, the deceased is Yu Xiaodan, the Jianghu "A Little Red" we are looking for so hard."

"Oh, my lord knows?" Nie Rufeng was a little surprised.

Of course, he didn't know what Sang Wuhen had gone through in order to investigate the case of the Great Zhao Clan. It was normal to have this kind of mentality.

"Yes."

"My lord, you don't need to check the bones?"

"Well, I know whoever killed him."

"what."

Seeing Nie Rufeng's surprised face, Sang Wuhen smiled.

Now, Yu Xiaodan is dead, and Li Jifeng is the only one left. From what Hua Youqian heard at the window, the case of the Great Zhao Clan is none of their business.So who else?Who would still "smile and pity flowers"?Could it be the one who stabbed Yan Lieshan?Presumably, the only way to solve the case is to find Li Jifeng for all the answers.
