"It's weird, it's weird!" Hu Tiehua said, "The entire Yumen Pass has been taken over by General Ma. Even if General Ma is dead at this time, the hearts of the people in Yumen Pass are still towards him. In this case , how could someone from Yumen Pass do such a thing that disrupts the stability of the pass?"

Mo Qi pondered for a moment: "But before this corpse, the other corpses were too badly damaged, so it is impossible to tell whether the speculation that these dead people all died from sword wounds is correct, and I also don't know if they had other injuries other than sword wounds. He has also been injured by other weapons, and I don’t know if this gunshot wound is still present in the first four corpses—or maybe, only this corpse has a gunshot wound.”

There are too few clear clues.Only a small sword wound on Lieutenant General Wu, and the sword wounds and gunshot wounds on the new corpse were preserved.That being the case, how could they be sure that the rest of the corpses must have been killed by swords?

Hu Tiehua said casually: "Could it be that this corpse is actually the murderer's corpse of the previous few cases, and that someone in the relevant department caught him, and that's why he suddenly vented his anger?" Hu Tiehua spread his hands, "After all, the previous few cases A corpse is not dead and has been flogged."

Gong Jiu: "The possibility is very small. There are also sword wounds on the corpse. Assuming that the person who wielded the sword is the murderer of the serial case, then it should be the person who whipped the corpse colluded with the murderer and killed him."

Everyone was discussing, Chu Liuxiang finally came late, and quickly stepped into the morgue: "I'll go check——huh?" He was halfway through speaking, when he suddenly saw the foreigner in the morgue wearing a red Taoist robe .

Chu Liuxiang looked at Yelu Ruyu strangely: "Who is this?"

Look at this Taoist robe, could it be the brother of the Taoist priest?Chu Liuxiang's inquiring gaze turned to Mo Qi who was at the side.

Mo Qi: "This is the seventh prince of the Liao Kingdom, Yelu Ruyu. He didn't bring any spare clothes when he entered the customs, so I lent him some clothes."

Chu Liuxiang came to a sudden: "So that's the case... Why did the Seventh Prince enter the customs in such a hurry?"

Gong Jiu interrupted Chu Liuxiang's interrogation: "It's not important, you should take a look at this new corpse first."

Wu Zuo looked pitifully at Chu Liuxiang, then at Gong Jiu, and was finally given a wink by Lieutenant General Li, and withdrew quite aggrieved.

Chu Liuxiang was a little embarrassed by Wuzuo's sad eyes. He touched his nose, put on the blue gloves neatly, and looked at the bloody corpse: "Well... this should be a martial artist. Look at this callus, It should be a person who is used to concealed weapons." Chu Liuxiang carefully turned the body over again, wanting to see if there was any other evidence that could prove the identity of the deceased, "Huh? This tattoo?"

Chu Liuxiang looked at the dead man's arms and raised his eyebrows in surprise: "A Yan character?"

Hu Tiehua looked at it carefully: "Isn't this the tattooed word sent by Tianyan to the exiled apprentice? This guy was expelled from the school by Tianyan?"

Curious, Yelu Ruyu looked at Mo Qi, who was the only one who was still friendly to him: "Tianyan faction?"

Mo Qi: "Shuzhou sect is famous for making weapons, especially hidden weapons. But because of Tang Sect..."

Gong Jiu said coldly: "Wannian Lao Er's sect has nothing to say. Those who can be expelled from Wannian Lao Er's sect have nothing to say."

Mo Qi frowned, and cast a reproachful glance at Gong Jiu.

"..." Gong Jiu changed his words very naturally: "But he is related to this case. Vice General Li immediately sent someone to send a message to my servants, asking them to investigate. The disciple who was exiled by the Tianyan Sect and fled into Yumen Pass is who."

Yelu Ruyu looked at Mo Qi and Gong Jiu quite interestingly, and was stared back by Gong Jiu's vicious stare like a poisonous snake.

Chu Liuxiang turned the corpse back to the front, his eyes swept over those messy and angry gunshot wounds, and fell on the fatal sword wound.

His face suddenly changed.

Hu Tiehua was most sensitive to the change of Chu Liuxiang's expression: "What? What's wrong? Where have you seen such a sword wound?"

Chu Liuxiang took a few deep breaths: "I did see such a sword wound many years ago."

Hu Tiehua was confused: "Whose sword is it? Now that we know who made it, shouldn't it be a good thing? Could it be that the murderer's identity or martial arts are actually very high, even you, even the second in the rivers and lakes Mo Daoxian, even King Taiping The prince, even the current sage, have nothing to do with him?" Speaking of this, Hu Tiehua couldn't help laughing.

Chu Liuxiang smiled wryly and shook her head: "Don't talk about you and me, don't talk about the Holy One..."

Gong Jiu didn't think there would be someone he couldn't deal with: "Who is he?"

Chu Liuxiang took a deep breath again: "...His name is Xue Xiaoren. The owner of Xuejiazhuang, the 'blood-clothed man' who was once known as the number one swordsman, and the younger brother of Xue Yiren."

Yelu Ruyu said with interest: "So what? Is he the number one martial artist in the world, or does he have the iron certificate of your Great Song Emperor's alchemy book?"

Hu Tiehua's face also changed: "No, neither."

Hu Tiehua: "It's just that Xue Xiaoren is already a dead person. Seven years ago, he committed suicide in front of the old bug and Xue Yiren. He died completely... until today, even his body may have rotted."

The story of Chu Liuxiang and Xuejiazhuang happened seven years ago.

At that time, Chu Liuxiang happened to be tracking down an assassin who was also his friend Zhongyuan Dianhong. Following the clues to investigate all the way, he finally found out that the leader of the organization that cultivated and controlled killers like Zhongyuan Dianhong was Xue Yiren, the number one swordsman at that time. brother of the clan.

After Chu Liuxiang exposed the incident, Xue Xiaoren confessed his crime and committed suicide on the spot because he did not want his brother Xue Yiren to be implicated by him.

This happened in front of Chu Liuxiang, and he also watched Xue Yiren bury his younger brother with his own eyes.That being the case, why did he find the sword marks that Xue Xiaoren's sword moves could only leave on the fresh corpse in front of Yumen Pass after three years?

Chu Liuxiang's discovery really made everyone in the room panic, and the atmosphere in the whole room became a little gloomy and depressing.Probably only cold-blooded animals like Gong Jiu and Yelu Ruyu could remain indifferent. One stared at Mo Qi's expression carefully, while the other glanced around idly.

Yelu Ruyu urged Chu Liuxiang who was in deep thought: "Apart from this sword mark, are there other clues?"

Chu Liuxiang woke up from her contemplation, and stretched out her hand to continue examining the corpse.

His hands groped for a while on the intact flesh of the corpse, and stopped at the abdomen of the deceased.

There was a piece of skin there, which was fairly well preserved.But Chu Liuxiang reached out and rubbed the skin vigorously for a while, but rubbed off a pile of scum, revealing the true face underneath.

"Why is there a scar here?" Hu Tiehua was puzzled.

The scar had just been stitched up, as if someone had cut the skin open and stitched it back up again.

Chu Liuxiang asked for a knife to dissect the corpse, unraveled the thread on the scar, reached in and took out a piece of blood-stained paper.The paper has been stained black and red by blood, and the words on it have also been blurred.

Chu Liuxiang struggled to distinguish: "In the night... the dark horse... lost... the passer-by's heart... not enough... the snake swallows the elephant, the dark horse loses its way in the night, and the heart is not enough to swallow the snake?"

Hu Tiehua's eyes widened suddenly, he and Chu Liuxiang looked at each other, and then looked at Mo Qi in unison.

No light in the night?Lost?

Isn't this the boring story that the storyteller told the three of them at the inn? !

·

When the storyteller was arrested by Vice General Li, he was still squatting in his own house thinking about the plot, and he was shocked when he was kicked out of the door.I thought that the story I told touched the tolerance limit of the people above, but I didn't expect that it was dragged and dragged to the most luxurious and exquisite mansion in Yumen Pass, and I told the nobles what I told before. He was expelled from the old story after being stuffed with a few more coins, and was warned not to chew on this matter again.

Yelu Ruyu has been placed in the most remote courtyard of Gongjiu's mansion, and she is not allowed to listen to the storytellers. Now she has taken two soldiers to visit the streets of Yumen Pass.Gong Jiu also sent another person, Fei Ge, to send a letter to Xue Jiazhuang, asking about the situation of Xue Yiren's younger brother.

Screening away the idlers, everyone sat in the lobby and listened to Chu Liuxiang talk about other clues he had found.

Chu Liuxiang: "I think there are two possibilities for this note. One is pretending to be a ghost, and the other is that this case is indeed related to the legend of Ma Mitu. We have to find a way to find out more information about the legend of Ma Mitu."

Mo Qi nodded: "And now, we have two cases to deal with. One is the serial case in Yumen Pass, and the other is the lost soldiers of the Liao Kingdom on the border of the Song Dynasty. Our troops are divided into two groups, Chu Liuxiang and I -"

Hu Tiehua was lazily nestled in the chair, but immediately jumped up when he heard this: "No, no, me and Chu Liuxiang. The old bug and I have been partners for many years. We have a tacit understanding and we are together."

Hu Tiehua gave Chu Liuxiang a wink, and motioned him to look at Gong Jiu's face, could he really be the one who disturbed other people's marriages and was kicked by a donkey?

Chu Liuxiang understood: "That's right, I'm with Hu Tiehua. I think Daoist Mo, you and Shizi seem to be old acquaintances. I think it would be better for you to act together."

Mo Qi who felt that he was excluded: "..."

Gong Jiu's originally cold expression, after hearing Chu and Hu's words, really warmed up a bit, and gave Chu Liuxiang and Hu Tiehua an appreciative look.

Hu Tiehua quickly changed the subject, lest the Taoist leader object again: "Actually, I was thinking, you said that the Liao army came as soon as there was an accident in Yumen Pass. Is it too coincidental? Could it be that someone in Yumen Pass has colluded with the Liao people... ..."

Chu Liuxiang: "It makes sense, maybe we can investigate this further later."

Gong Jiu glanced at Mo Qi who was stiffly stuck in place, and his joyful mood was secretly brewing again: "Let's talk about the clues you have found so far."

"Okay." Chu Liuxiang took a sip of tea and moistened his throat, "Before, when I was away, I actually went to take Xiaoyan's family into the Shizi's mansion, and visited the homes of the deceased. Of course...it's not the main entrance."
