Murder

Sima Feng wondered, "What could it be?"

"I can't say for sure." Gan Yue said, "I lost my hands and feet, I got extra hands and feet; or I was raped, my stomach was ripped open and stuffed with other things..."

Ajia and Ayi frowned: "Gan Yuzuo usually fiddles with these things?"

Song Beiyan: "Well, I have also seen it a few times."

Ajia and Ayi looked at him in shock, moved two inches away calmly, and moved a little away from him.

Only on the second day, before Sima Feng started to act, Zhuo Yong's body was discovered.

The place where the corpse was abandoned was in the north of the city, far away from the east of the city where Zhuo Yong was last found.After a simple inspection by Wu Zuo, the body was transported back to Yizhuang.Yi Zhuang's assistant knew people from Shaoyi League. When Shaoyi League went looking for Zhuo Yong with great fanfare, he had seen Zhuo Yong's portrait, so he recognized him at a glance.

It was also thanks to the sharp eyesight of this coworker, Zhuo Yong's eyes were destroyed on one side, the bones in his hands and feet were broken, his face was black and blue from the beating, his neck was cut, and the wound had begun to fester, and there was no one part of his body intact, all of them were scars.Even the policeman frowned: "Isn't this exactly the same as Mr. Xie before?"

The companion quickly stopped him, and the catcher bit off the conversation and didn't bring it up again.

This sentence was heard by Wu Zuo.

There are two masters in Shifang City, one is old and the other is young.The older one is his master, and it was his master who investigated the case of Mr. Xie's death.When Wu Zuo mentioned Zhuo Yong's matter to the Shaoyimeng, he also carried this sentence along by the way.

Li Yijin immediately led people to bring Zhuo Yong's body back.The relationship between the Shaoyi League and the government of Shifang City has become a little complicated in the past year: in the fire a year ago, both Shifang City and the Shaoyi League suffered heavy losses, but the Shaoyi League successfully won the Xinjiabao. The land was rebuilt into Yong'an Port, occupying two extremely important port positions in the upper and lower reaches of the Yulan River, and its prestige and wealth have greatly increased.Since then, the government of Shifang City has become a little more jealous of the Shaoyi League.It took Li Yijin a lot of effort and time to retrieve the body this time.

Gan Lele and Sima Feng waited in the Shaoyi League for a whole day, and it was almost evening when they finally got them back.

Li Yijin told everyone in the Shaoyi League to retreat, and even Ah Jia and Ah Yi couldn't stay where they were.He personally opened the straw mat that shrouded the corpse, and asked Gan Leyi and others to inspect the condition of the corpse.

"..." Gan Le was dumbfounded, and it took him a while to speak, "So miserable?"

Song Beiyan stood behind him, took a deep breath after seeing the condition of the corpse.

Like Xie Ankang's son, Zhuo Yong's hands and feet were broken and his bones were shattered.In order to squeeze the man into the narrow ditch, the murderer also broke several pieces of his neck and waist bones. Zhuo Yong's hands were clinging to his sides, his legs were straight and tightly shrunk into a long strip, without any pain. Normal humanoid.One of his eyes seemed to be smashed and gouged out by a heavy punch, his face was swollen, his ears were torn, and blood clots had clotted in the wound, which had turned black.Gan Lele's face was serious, and after putting on his gloves, he turned Zhuo Yong who was lying on his side and made him lie upright.

"The neck was scratched and the throat was damaged." Gan Lexie carefully picked up the knife and inspected the wound, "I can't speak with such an injury."

He continued to look down.There were several knife marks on Zhuo Yong's chest and abdomen, not deep, but each was rough and messy.

"His tormentors repeatedly deepened the wound with a knife, maybe at the same moment, maybe not."

The abdominal wound extended to the lower body.Zhuo Yong's lower body was also severely damaged, and Gan Le could not help frowning tightly.

"Does he have any deep hatred with others?" He asked in a low voice, "It's very tolerable to be tortured like this."

"We checked before, and there is nothing." Li Yijin said hoarsely, "Although Zhuo Yong is young, he has a good temperament. He has a lot of friends in the Shaoyi League, and there are no disputes such as money and silver. I have never heard of him having a relationship with others. What kind of enmity have you had?"

Sima Feng interjected: "I heard you said that he has a good friend in Chunyan Building? Did you cause any trouble because of the competition with other guests?"

"I've never heard of that either." Li Yijin replied, "We've gone to Chunyanlou to ask about it a few times. He is generous in his actions and treats others with courtesy."

What did Sima Feng want to say? Gan Yue, who was squatting on the ground to examine the corpse, raised his head and asked, "Aside from Chunyan Tower, does Zhuo Yong have any other...places for fun?"

"What do you mean?"

Gan Le hesitated to speak but stopped, and Ai Ai.

"Zhuo Yong...does he have a habit of Long Yang?"

In the early morning of this day, in the Yingbeishe's eagle shed, an eagle flew back from Shifang City.The letter in the mailbox on its lap was immediately removed, and the disciple first handed it to Murong Hai, and then Murong Hai handed it to Chi Yebai.

But when Murong Hai went to look for Chi Yebai, he found that he was not in his room, nor was he in any place in Yingbei House.Murong Hai thought about the last time he saw him, and knew something was wrong, so he immediately went to find Chi Xingjian.

When they learned that the basement door could not be opened and that Chi Yebai had stayed in the basement for a day and a night, Chi Xingjian and his wife were so surprised that their expressions changed drastically.

In order to prevent accidents, the door of the basement can still be opened from the outside after being locked from the inside, but only Chi Xingjian holds the key to open it, and once opened, all the mechanisms of the basement door will be invalid and need to be recast.Before the casting was completed, the basement gate was just an ordinary heavy gate without any defensive function.Fearing that something might happen to Chi Yebai, the couple had no time to consider the consequences, so they quickly found the key and ran to the basement.

Before the more than 20 steps leading to the underground were completed, the door of the basement opened slowly with a soft knock.

Yingsuo jumped down the steps, rushed over and hugged Chi Yebai: "Are you crazy!"

Chi Yebai was covered in sweat and his face was pale, but he was still in good spirits.He said sorry to Yingsuo in a low voice, then looked up at Chi Xingjian.Chi Xingjian sighed in his heart, knowing that he had already entered the secret room and read all the contents stored in the secret room.

"Let's go back first." Chi Xingjian turned his head and said, "Murong, put aside the matter at hand, and I'll take care of it."

Murong Hai agreed, and went forward to close the basement.

Yingsuo took Chi Yebai's hand and found that although his expression was basically as usual, the palm of his hand trembled involuntarily.In fact, even Insuo didn't know exactly what was in the tightly closed secret room in the basement.The information of the Shenying Camp had been stored in the basement early in the morning, before she was married to Chi Xingjian, and Chi Yebai was not born yet.She and Chi Xingjian acted together to collect information about the Shenying Camp, but then something happened, and Chi Xingjian did not allow her to read the information anymore, and sealed all the books.Yingsuo only knew that it was a very bad thing. For several years, Chi Xingjian couldn't sleep at night, and finally fell asleep, and often woke up in a dream.

A few years later, the precocious Chi Yebai began to read the materials stored by Ying Beishe in the basement.At that time, the secret room did not have such a tight hidden lock. Chi Yebai was curious and tried to open the secret room, and finally opened the small room where the information of the Shenying Camp was stored.

Every time Yingsuo thought of the situation at that time, he still couldn't help but feel lingering fear.

She tightly held Chi Yebai's wrist, brought him back to her room, and ordered him to rest immediately and not get up.

Chi Yebai unbuttoned his clothes, with a smile on his face: "Mother, you go back. I read too many things at once, and I need to sort them out in my mind. Why don't you bring me some soothing soup."

"No, I want to watch you fall asleep." Insuo pressed him on the bed involuntarily, "You want to trick me and continue working on your own, right?"

Chi Yebai had no choice but to let her shake out the quilt and remove his hair.

When Ying Suo picked up his turquoise bone hairpin, he was taken aback for a moment.Chi Yebai's mind was really confused at the moment, and he realized something was wrong when he saw his mother unscrew the bone hairpin with a look of astonishment: "Mother!"

The emerald stone cracked open, leaving nothing inside.

"...Where is the medicine!" Insuo was startled and angry, "Where is that medicine!"

Chi Yebai didn't dare to tell the truth, so he had to answer vaguely: "Take it to save people."

Yingsuo was out of breath, sat down on the side of the bed for a long time, and stuffed the bone hairpin back into Chi Yebai's hand heavily.

"Is it for Sima's child?"

Chi Yebai didn't make a sound, it was a tacit agreement.

"Son..." Yingsuo felt helpless and distressed, "You are so stupid!"

"At that time, the situation was very serious. If I didn't take out this medicine, he would die."

"You don't know how precious that pill is." Insuo slapped him on the back of his hand, "You gave it to him, what will you do if something happens to you in the future! Can he give you the exact same pill? He takes What saved you? Where was he then? Could he save you?"

"I didn't think about it that much." Chi Yebai whispered wearily, "Don't worry about it."

Insul sighed a few times before alleviating the depression in his heart.

"I know you have a kind heart, I know that you value him, and I know that you are like brothers." She brushed Chi Ye's white sideburn hair behind her ears, "But I hope you will be more selfish and think about yourself more. Being a parent , I don’t ask for anything else, I just want you to be safe.”

Chi Yebai had nothing to say and nodded silently.

Insuo asked him to lie down immediately and rest with his eyes closed.After he breathed evenly, she quietly got up and left the room to prepare breakfast for him.But when the sound of her footsteps disappeared around the corner, Chi Yebai slowly opened his eyes.

Just closing his eyes for a moment, he was already dripping with sweat, and his breath was unstable.As long as you close your eyes, all the words in the book will jump in front of your eyes, with teeth and claws.

He didn't care to organize them, and he couldn't classify them into "rooms".After getting up and sitting on the bed for half an hour, Chi Yebai put on his clothes and tied his hair, and sneaked out the door in the dark.

The Shenying Camp and Shenying Policy recorded in the secret room are things that he and Sima Feng have never seen or thought about.He must tell Sima Feng all this immediately.

But in order to avoid being blocked, he didn't even ride his own horse, but started light work and ran all the way to Pengyang City.He entered the city just as the Pengyang city gate was opened, and before he reached Sima Feng's house, he saw Ah Si passing by carrying a bunch of things.

"Si." Chi Yebai greeted him, "Is your young master up yet?"

"The young master took Gan Lingshi and Xiao Song to the Shaoyi League." Ah Si said, "Didn't Leader Lin tell you?"

Chi Yebai thought about it, but for a moment he couldn't remember if Lin Shaoyi had said these things.He was very tired, but he couldn't stop, so he immediately borrowed a horse from Ah Si.

"Go and ride the young master's horse, it kisses you very much."

"Why didn't you follow?" Chi Yebai asked him.

Asked about sad things, Ah Si was extremely annoyed: "I did some things wrong, the young master doesn't like me, and he doesn't want to take me out."

"Oh." Chi Yebai nodded and quickly mounted his horse.

It is impossible to get comfort from Chi Yebai.Ah Si had no choice but to silently watch him leave.

When leaving the city, Chi Yebai encountered the frontier.Frontier was covered in sweat, and when he saw Chi Yebai hurried over: "Master Chi, I want to entrust Ying Beishe with some things..."

"You don't need to look for me, just look for the Pengyang branch." Chi Yebai hurriedly said, "I'm going to Shaoyi League now."

Bian Jiang already knew from Ah Si that both Gan Lele and Song Beiyan had gone to the Shaoyi League, upon hearing this, he hurriedly said, "Greetings to Gan Lingshi for me! I'll wait for him to come back, and then I'll learn the craft from him."

Chi Yebai was a little dizzy, and his face was very bad. Seeing him like this, Bian Jiang couldn't help but added another sentence: "Master Chi, you don't look well, why don't you rest here for a while?"

"Thank you, no need." Chi Yebai cupped his hands at him, "I will bring your words with you. Goodbye."
