God catches no trace

Chapter 74

"There are few clues and too many mysteries. To solve this case, we must find out, first, where did Cheng Sanjiu keep his junior brother's belongings? Second, who is his junior brother? If we break through these two questions, Then everything will work out."

Shui Sheng and Xia Rupiao nodded at the same time.

"Now, I want to do it both ways."

"Ah, what double pipes?" Xia Rupiao was really floating, unable to understand what Sang Wuhen meant.

Seeing her silly look, Mu Rouan and Shui Sheng secretly laughed.

Sang Wuhen ignored it, and continued: "The word Cheng Sanjiu carved in the small wooden block: a shocking secret. At first I thought it was the hidden bones of hundreds of people, but now I can conclude that it is not through the reasoning of the whole case. The secret he reminded is in the Narcissus Cave, so he won’t write indiscriminately. So, I think Shui Sheng and Xia Rupiao will go again and check carefully, and there will definitely be something to gain.”

"What about you?" Shui Sheng looked at his soft tone, obviously with a hint of concern.

"Me." Sang Wuhen smiled, "Go to Wuguling to check the whereabouts of Li Changshun's twin brother Li Changfeng. As long as we catch him, I think the true identity of Junior Brother Cheng Sanjiu will be revealed."

"Didn't you say you were waiting for Li Changshun's letter at the Yamen of Tanzhou?" Xia Rupiao said.

"The situation is changing now, we cannot wait, we must act as soon as possible."

"What's going on here?" Shui Sheng listened to the conversation between the two, a little puzzled
Seeing her surprised, Xia Rupiao explained in detail what happened to "Xiaochun" in Heli Town.

"So, brother Wuhen, Li Changfeng is definitely the biggest breakthrough in all cases."

"There is no doubt."

"Well, then let's go down the mountain immediately and work separately."

"For sure." After Sang Wuhen finished speaking, he looked at Murou again.

"Brother Sang, Sister Shui Sheng and Miss Xia, I won't accompany you."

"Sister Mu Rou, I know you are impatient and want to take your master's skeleton back and bury it."

Mu Rou nodded, picked up the wrapped brocade cloth with her hands, and put it on her shoulders.

Sang Wuhen took the first step and walked down the mountain.

……

Wugu Ridge.

It belongs to the village.

It is under the jurisdiction of Lishui An Township.

It borders Chanling.

It is a fertile plain.

Therefore, the population is large and the housing is dense.

Village entrance.

Next to the stone tablet with the words Wuguling written on it.

A chubby young man in fishing clothes, with a simple knife in his hand, was holding an umbrella and looking forward anxiously.

Obviously, waiting for someone.

After noon, the sun was scorching every bit of the earth, and even the big leaves were unable to droop. Occasionally, when the breeze blew, it seemed like fire was blowing on the face, making people feel no coolness.

There was no living thing to be seen on the road ahead, it was empty.

He wiped the beads of sweat that appeared on his face with his hands.

He said to himself, "Why isn't Master Sang coming?"

This person was Li Changshun who was acting under orders. Yesterday afternoon, he sent a letter to the Tanzhou Yamen, saying that he had found out Li Changfeng's whereabouts. This morning, he received a handwritten letter from Wang Zhifu: Mr. Sang has known about it, and he will come right away.Since the matter was confidential, he did not dare to use any ostentation to welcome Mr. Sang.In order not to disturb the whole Wuguling, it is not good for solving the case.

Therefore, he could only wait alone at the entrance of the village.

At this moment, there was a rush of horseshoes in the distance.

He looked up and saw a man galloping towards him on a horse.

"Master Sang." There was great liking in the voice.

The person who came was five meters away from him and jumped off the horse.

"Captain Li, let you wait for a long time."

Seeing that Sang Wuhen was so polite, Li Changshun was flattered, and immediately straightened his chest, bent his body, saluted, and said, "This is what a villain should do."

"Well, you are worthy of being the number one arrester in Tanzhou, and you need to do it quickly."

It turned out that when Sang Wuhen came down the mountain yesterday, he went straight to the Tanzhou Yamen alone, wanting to find out the exact location of Wuguling.Because of a small place name, most people definitely don't know it.

Who knows, it just so happened that at night, when the magistrate Wang hosted a banquet for him, Li Changshun arrived just by flying a letter.

This is absolutely great news.Because, the content of the letter said that there were clues about Li Changfeng.So, after staying in the yamen for one night, he came quickly on horseback.

At this moment, seeing Sang Wuhen admiring him, Li Changshun had a flattering smile on his sweaty face.

"Thank you for your compliment, sir. Follow me." After speaking, he stretched out his hand, led the horse, and walked forward.

This action of reaching out to lead the horse caught Sang Wu by surprise.

"Where is this going?"

"To tell you the truth, my lord, if you want to find your brother Li Changfeng, you have to go to "Jinxiu Villa"."

"Well, good." Sang Wuhen said in his heart, forgive me that you can't lie to me.

So, as soon as the footsteps were mentioned, they followed.

……

The two walked for only a few minutes.

They came to a high-walled courtyard.

Sang Wuhen took a look. On the top of the red gate, there was a black wooden plaque embedded on the surface of the blue bricks, engraved with four words: Jinxiu Villa.

"Master Sang, this is the place." After speaking.Li Changshun tied the horse to a locust tree in front of the yard, and stepped forward to knock on it.

With a "squeak" sound.

The courtyard door opened slowly.

"Master Shun, you are here." An old man with white hair appeared behind the gate and said.

Li Changshun said "hmm", took a step forward and stepped into the courtyard.

Sang Wuhen also took a step forward.

As soon as you enter, you will feel the cool breeze blowing on your face, which is extremely cool.

He looked up and saw green vines criss-crossing and green leaves covering the top. Then he glanced down and saw that he was walking on a flat stone road with a width of about four meters on both sides. Attic, each dead bamboo is covered with a plant: "creeper".It grows vines and leaves from bottom to top, surrounding the entire stone road.The glare of the sun is therefore firmly blocked out of its control range.

"It's really a pleasure to walk in here." Sang Wuhen sighed in admiration.

Walk to 40 meters.

I saw two girls in green clothes standing on the stone steps in the attic, bending over, greeting Li Changshun: "Master Shun, please."

"Where's Madame?"

"Wait in the lobby."

"it is good."

As soon as the word was pronounced, it came to the entrance of the hall.

Sang Wuhen followed closely behind.

The two girls glanced at him without words, but with smiles on their faces.They knew very well in their hearts that they were brought by Lord Shun.

Sang Wuhen entered the hall, only to find Li Changshun standing in the middle in a daze, and did not see the so-called madam.

At this time, a maid brought tea.

The voice said softly: "Master Shun and this young master, please sit down and have a few sips of tea to quench your thirst. Madam has something to do on the second floor, so I ordered my servants to entertain you temporarily, and she will come down immediately."

Seeing this, they couldn't say anything.

I had no choice but to sit on the carved chair, picked up the glass of water on the plate, began to drink tea, and waited for my wife.

Sang Wuhen took the opportunity to look at the hall: in general, the layout is roughly the same as that of the rich, with a tiger painting hanging on the middle wall, an Eight Immortals table below, a blue and white teacup on the table, a carved chair on each side, and stained walls on the surrounding walls. Full of colorful calligraphy and paintings of celebrities.

"I'm sorry, I kept the two of you waiting for so long." A sweet voice came to my ears from above.

Sang Wuhen focused his eyes and saw a woman about thirty years old, dressed in yellow, with a face like a demon flower, walking down the steps on the second floor with light steps.

When Li Changshun saw it, he quickly stood up. "Madam, please excuse me."

"Where, Mr. Shun's visits a few times have added a lot of color to this villa." Madam said with a charming face as she walked to the grand master's chair by the table and sat down.

"You are too polite, let me introduce you, the number one master in Kyoto, Mr. Sang Wuhen."

"Oh, so it's Mrs. Sang." Madam didn't seem surprised, and greeted casually.Then, the conversation turned around: "Master Shun, is this the one who wants to ask me about Li Changfeng's clues?"

"Yes, I have come several times to pave the way for Mr. Sang, because I have no ability to intervene in the case of my brother, mainly to avoid suspicion."

"Well, then what do you want to ask?" Madam turned her gaze to Sang Wuhen.

"Me?" Sang Wuhen stood up and smiled slightly: "Madam, you may not be able to answer my question."

"why?"

"Because only Li Changshun has my answer."

"Master Sang, what do you mean?" Li Changshun's expression changed.

"Stop acting, Li Changfeng." Sang Wuhen said coldly.

Hearing this, Li Changshun was shocked.

Madam was also shocked.

"You're talking nonsense, what evidence do you have?"

"The scar on your right thumb can prove everything."

He subconsciously looked at his fingers.

"Because the real Li Changshun doesn't have fingers." When Li Changfeng stretched out his hand to lead the horse, Sang Wuhen had already seen it, but at that time, he didn't catch him.

"If you don't enter the tiger's den, how can you catch tiger cubs." It was precisely this mentality that he followed Li Changfeng to Jinxiu Villa.

"Hehe, the god catcher is really bold and careful, I admire you." He gave a strange laugh.

Sang Wuhen didn't allow him to say another word.

Suddenly, his body moved, his arms on both sides suddenly lengthened, reaching towards Li Changfeng and his wife.

In an instant, they saw countless sharp claws rushing towards their left and right shoulders.
