Murder

Chi Yebai stood up and approached cautiously when the voices of people in the cave gradually died down.

The bones were exposed to the wind, rain and sun, and all the flesh and skin were gone, leaving only a bare skeleton.The bones looked the same from a distance, Chi Yebai tore off a corner of his clothes, and held it in his hand to touch the bone.One set of skeletons was slightly thinner than the other, having died from a broken neck bone.The bones in the right arm of the other skeleton were very thick, and some protruding bony spurs could even be felt on the wrist, and two chest ribs were broken.The person who assassinated him struck so hard that he even broke two bones on his back.

Chi Yebai was puzzled and withdrew his hand back.

He Sanxiao's eldest brother, He Yixiong, is also a well-known knight in the world.He is good at hand-to-hand combat, and his right fist is extremely powerful. Because of practicing martial arts all the year round, his right arm is thicker than his left arm.Because he is most famous for his tiger-killing fist with his right hand, many years ago, the Chou family specially ambushed him. Although he couldn't kill He Yixiong, he broke his right wrist.With astonishing perseverance, He Yixiong re-practiced the tiger killing fist with his right hand, and the first thing he did was to kill the whole family of enemies.

Chi Yebai retreated silently into the bushes.Among the two skeletons, the one with the bone spur on the right wrist should be He Yixiong.The bones on his chest and back were all broken, and he was stabbed with an epee. This should be his fatal injury.But who the other one was, Chi Yebai couldn't figure it out.Although that corpse was slightly taller than the other one, its bones were very thin, like a juvenile who had not yet grown up.

If you kill it, you will kill it, and you will be nailed here to be tortured by the sun and rain. Chi Yebai only knows that He Ling should have learned from He Sanxiao to hate the He brothers, but he can't think of another skeleton. Who could be.

He thought about it for a while, but he couldn't figure it out, so he stopped thinking about it.This matter can be handed over to Sima Feng in the future, and he immediately decided that the first thing to do is to rescue the child who was locked up by He Ling.

After waiting for a long time, Chi Yebai didn't feel bored.He recalled the story of Chishen Peak that he had read in his heart, and when he finished thinking about Chishen Peak, he recalled Yu Lanjiang.He remembers everything very clearly, so every time he sorts it out, he can find some connections and interests that he hadn't found before.

While he was thinking about it, he suddenly heard a faint noise coming from the foot of the mountain, and a faint light flickered up.

"Pavilion Master Shao, this junior is here to disturb you again." Sima Feng bowed to Shao Jinjin.

Shao Jinjin's face was very bad.Sima Feng went and came back, but only for one day.He did enough drama the day before yesterday, Sima Feng and Chi Yebai seemed to be fooled, but they came back so soon, which made him feel vaguely uneasy.Looking up, Shao Jinjin was surprised to find that only Sima Feng came, not Chi Yebai.

"Is there something wrong?" He didn't bother to be polite, and asked stiffly, "Where's Master Chi?"

"He is busy day and night, and he is still resting in the city. I have a question in my mind, and I wanted to ask Pavilion Master Shao, but I couldn't delay for a moment, so I rushed over overnight." Sima Feng said with a smile, "What about this question, and He Erying related."

Shao Jinjin stared at him closely, with a look of guard all over his body.Even the dozens of people behind him tensed up, their hands all pressed on the handle of the knife.

"what is the problem?"

Seeing that he was extremely nervous, Sima Feng knew that his guess was very likely to be correct.He kept thinking about one thing on the way here, why Shao Jinjin wanted to show He Eryingliang to him and Chi Yebai.

The Rongqingcheng case attracted the Sima family and Ying Beishe, and there is absolutely no way it will be resolved.Shao Jinjin has been immersed in the Jianghu for many years, so he naturally knows the power of these two gangs. Even if this case hurts a young child, everyone panics, and it is similar to what happened ten years ago. I am afraid that they will not be able to suppress it.

If it is the murderer himself, when he realizes that he cannot be suppressed, in order to escape, if he does not hide and hide, he will find a ghost to replace the dead.

Wuyan Pavilion is well-known in Jianghu, and Shao Jinjin is famous far and wide as a chivalrous man. I am afraid that he will not disappear, let alone escape.Therefore, there is only the fastest and most convenient way left: use He Erying as the scapegoat.

He and He Ling happened to be on that road when the fourth child disappeared, and they had to go through the city gate every time they went to find the doctor. All the soldiers knew him, so they would naturally leave an impression on him.As long as a thorough investigation is done, Shao Jinjin, the biggest suspect, will immediately surface.

He couldn't wait any longer, so he happened to meet himself and Chi Yebai who said they wanted to investigate Chishen Peak, so he decided to play He Erying.

Shao Jinjin didn't say much last night. He first said that He Erying had madness, and then repeatedly emphasized one point: He Ling is a kind-hearted person.

It's just that this ghost is replacing Shao Jinjin or He Ling.

Sima Feng unfolded his fan, shook it slowly, and said, "Pavilion Master Shao told us last night that He Erying lost all his martial arts and lost his mind. We visited the doctor who treated Mrs. Shao, and he also said that Mrs. Shao had lost all her martial arts and was insane." Funeral. Since they are all sick, and the doctor can prescribe the right medicine, why is it that only Mrs. Shao went to see the doctor, but He Erying also went?"

"Although He Erying's martial arts is gone, he is very strong, and he often howls and says nonsense, so he can't be taken to Rongqing City." Shao Jinjin replied, "My wife also thought about taking him there, but I still don't know what to do." Before reaching the foot of the mountain, we were almost unable to restrain him, and He Erying rolled off the carriage and was seriously injured. After that, we never took him out again."

"Ah, Madam is so kind." Sima Feng said.

There was no other expression on Shao Jinjin's face, and he just nodded: "She really has a good heart."

"Madam has such a good heart, has she ever secretly opened the handcuffs and chains without telling you because she felt sorry for He Erying?" Sima Feng asked again.

Shao Jinjin was taken aback.

"Although my uncle has a chronic illness, it's useless to be trapped in that small courtyard day and night. My wife is kind-hearted, she can't see her relatives suffering, and she was bewitched by that man's words, shouldn't there be such a thing?" Sima Feng still shook his head. Holding a fan, he asked with a smile.

"Madam is kind-hearted, but I don't know that He Erying has already recovered her martial arts and lied to her. As soon as the iron chain of the shackles is released, He Erying will immediately rush out and disappear in the blink of an eye." Sima Feng shook his head, and the fan also swayed back and forth. , "This story, Pavilion Master Shao wants to tell it like this?"

Shao Jinjin's face was livid, and his palms were tightly clenched into fists.

"Maybe there are many differences in the details, but in the final analysis they all have the same meaning. As you have repeatedly said, Madam has a kind heart. If a kind-hearted person is deceived, what is wrong with her? She is not at fault. He Erying ran to Rongqing City and tied the child back. , you will always find out. Why is the child raised for nothing? It is because of the kindness of the wife. You snatched the child back from He Erying, and the wife took care of it. You love your wife and feel sorry for her, so you don’t care about her. Bear the heart to send the child back and let the madam take care of the snatched child as if it were her own. Although it is wrong, there is nothing really wrong with it. He will soon die in the hands of He Erying." Sima Feng put away his fan and gave a crisp blow to his palm, "Master Shao, which one is more interesting, my story or yours?"

"...I don't know what you're talking about." Shao Jinjin said in a deep voice.

"This junior has been thinking on the way back and forth, why did you let us see He Erying. I realized later that I guessed wrong. Seeing He Erying is one of the goals, and confirming that He Erying is a lunatic is the second goal." Sima Fenglian She smiled and said in a serious tone, "Madam is kind-hearted, maybe she will soften her heart and let He Erying go, but He Erying has repeatedly used pretexts to do evil. Madam is kind-hearted, and may be deceived by He Erying to abduct children for him. Or Madam is too kind-hearted. , abducted children for him, and because he was stunned by the madman's nonsense, he ignorantly obeyed the madman's instigation to kill people. Although the content of each story is different, it is always about the same thing..."

As soon as he finished speaking, Shao Jinjin suddenly let out a low shout, and saw that the lanterns in the hands of the people behind him, together with the lights of the Wuyan Pavilion, were all extinguished in an instant.Sima Feng immediately silenced and mustered his internal strength to defend, only to see several thin silver needles suddenly popping up in the darkness, shooting towards him.

He jumped up to avoid the hidden weapon, and suddenly heard the whistling of the wind in his ears, and several iron nails painted black were flying towards his forehead.Damn... so poisonous? !He kicked his feet on the tree trunk, took out from his pocket the two barbed caltrops he took from Ah Si, and threw them towards the way the iron nails came from.There were two crackling sounds at the other end, it was someone blocking his hidden weapon with a weapon, the branches and leaves at this end were shaking, and he had easily dodged in the gap.

"It doesn't matter. This junior can still afford to deal with such means, which makes Pavilion Master Shao laugh." Sima Feng spoke loudly, comforting Ah Si who was trying to make a move, "The junior is a little surprised that Pavilion Master Shao is so restless. The junior's words have not yet It's over."

"What you said is all your conjecture, without evidence." Shao Jinjin picked up the barbed wire from the ground, "The Sima family also plays with hidden weapons? This is not open enough."

When he said the word "leiluo", he suddenly took a step towards Sima Feng.Sima Feng wanted to be on guard, and immediately dodged to avoid it.Shao Jinjin's footwork was very strange, although he was two or three zhang away, he didn't see his feet off the ground, but within two steps he approached Sima Feng.Sima Feng dealt with vicious people day and night, seeing him approaching menacingly, he was not flustered, and with a flick of his elbow, two daggers popped out of his sleeves.

But Shao Jinjin had no intention of fighting him.He suddenly showed his fists, one punch aimed at Sima Feng's waist and abdomen, and the other punch aimed at his neck, hitting hard.Sima Feng immediately jumped back and blocked with a dagger.But Shao Jinjin's footwork was weird, and his technique was also weird. He felt that his hands seemed to grow suddenly, and he grabbed Sima Feng's belt and skirt at an impossible place, lifted him up with a roar, and threw him fiercely at Wu Yan. At the other end of the pavilion.

Sima Feng was taken aback: He had never seen people in the world fighting like this. This is obviously the fighting method of street hooligans... Shao Jinjin is very strong, Sima Feng was thrown dizzy by him, and he was about to hit the wall of Wuyan Pavilion. Turning around, his legs kicked on the wall behind him, and then bounced back.

But that place is not a wall, but the big bell used by Wuyan Pavilion as a warning.

After being kicked by him like this, the clock immediately swayed and rang slowly.The first ringing of the bell was still a little dull, but then the second and third ringing became more and more intense, and the loud sound gushed out like a huge wave, awakening all the sleeping birds, beasts and green mountains at night.

When the bell rang, Chi Yebai immediately lowered his head and hid in the darkness.

There was a chaotic sound in the cave, and the child was awakened by the bell, crying and shouting.He Ling didn't care about the child, so he rushed out with the lamp and ran down the mountain.

"A Shao...A Shao!" She cried miserably, her crying was still flustered, and the lamp in her hand kept shaking as she ran.

Chi Yebai saw her run a distance, and immediately rushed into the cave to pick up the child.There was no injury on the child, and he was wearing neat and clean clothes, but his little face was flushed from crying, and he was so frightened that he couldn't make a sound when he saw Chi Yebai rushing in.Chi Yebai didn't know how to take care of the child, so he simply touched his sleeping point, then ran out with his arms in his arms.

It is definitely not possible to return from the same way with a child.The Wuyan Pavilion at the foot of the mountain was in chaos, and the bell was still echoing in the darkness, making his head ache.Since there is chaos, let's take advantage of the chaos and run away, and steal a horse by the way... Chi Yebai hugged the child firmly, and ran down the mountain as well.

He walked fast, and soon caught up with the stumbling He Ling.

Chi Yebai just didn't pay attention, only now did he realize that the lamp in He Ling's hand looked familiar.

There are several hollows carved out on the lamp, and the light leaks out from the hollows, just like a person's eyes, ears and mouth.
