Chapter 83 The Money Dart Case 03

"Money Gang?" Mo Qi doesn't even recognize the celebrities and heroes who are active in the arena today. The Qiang Gang, a gang that was defeated by Li Xunhuan and A Fei a few years ago, is naturally not in the scope of his memory. Inside.

Gong Jiu and Mo Qi explained: "The Money Gang is a gang created by Shangguan Jinhong from nothing - when Shangguan Jinhong was not killed by Li Xunhuan in the early years, he was ranked second in Bai Xiaosheng's "Weapon Spectrum" Master." Gong Jiu glanced at Mo Qi pointingly, "But now..."

Newcomers in Jianghu come out from generation to generation, and Bai Xiaosheng who once wrote the "Weapon Spectrum" has also died in Huangquan. Now the Jianghu Bai Xiaosheng's list of magic weapons is only recognized by Jianghu.

This magic weapon list is very evil, if you are the second, you will never be able to beat the first, even if you use all your tricks and do enough small tricks in secret, you will not be able to leapfrog the ranks and pick the top one.This kind of absolute magic weapon list is more valuable than the various lists made by Bai Xiaosheng in the past. It simply takes into account all the right time, place and people, and there are absolutely no mistakes or omissions.

The list of magic soldiers is unshakable.In the ten years since the list of magic soldiers was released, people in Jianghu have proved this fact with their blood and lives.

It was also because of this that five years ago, the second place on the Jianghu Shenbing list suddenly became an unknown person that he had never heard of before, which caused such a big commotion.So much so that Mo Qi didn't even walk around in the rivers and lakes, but there are always legends about him in the rivers and lakes. Even in the next five years, what Mo Qi does every day besides building restaurants and brewing wine is handling cases. There is no tendency to enter the rivers and lakes to show their faces, and the people of the rivers and lakes still cannot ignore the existence of the second in the list of magic soldiers.

"I remember that when the Money Gang was at its peak, it was almost comparable to the Beggars' Gang. It not only had the most famous reputation in the Jianghu, but also had the greatest influence and even the strongest financial resources... At that time, the Money Gang His token is a copper plate engraved with 'Controlling Ghosts and Gods'." Gong Jiu motioned Mo Qi to wipe off the mud on the copper plate, "...the second year of Qianxing, is it just an ordinary copper plate?"

Gong Jiu froze for a moment.

He was a little confused, but the appearance of the copper plate, coupled with Jing Wuming's whereabouts, really couldn't stop him from thinking about the money gang.

Mo Qi reached out and lifted the stone, and found another copper plate between the two stones.This copper plate was sandwiched between stones, and it had deep scratches on the surface of the stone. It was obviously thrown by someone with a hidden weapon, so it was embedded in this position, and it left such a deep scratch. Mark of.

Mo Qi pried the copper plate out of the stone, and blew away the powder: "In the first year of Qianxing. It looks more like he didn't carry a hidden weapon, and just took out copper coins and threw it out."

Gong Jiu frowned: "The latecomer who kidnapped the Headless Bodyguard specially dressed up as the Headless Bodyguard, clearly planned to catch this Headless Bodyguard. Since it was a planned , how could he forget to bring a hidden weapon...and, why did he use a hidden weapon? Looking at the stone, he is clearly carrying a weapon, but he can't tell what kind of weapon it is."

Gong Jiu looked at the face of the stone and pondered: "If the sword edge pierces it, it should not be so smooth. But if it is said to be split with a knife... Will the length of the knife be too long?" Gong Jiu After some gestures, the shortest length of the stone was already longer than his arm.

Hearing this, Mo Qi looked away from the copper plate and turned around: "...you are right, this is very strange. Besides, there is another problem. If the latecomer really had a weapon on him, why didn't Yuandao see it at that time? ? Especially with such a long knife, it is even more impossible to cover it up."

Gong Jiu stretched out his hand, groped for the opposite side of the stone and thought about it: "If it's not a weapon like a knife or a sword, what else can split the stone into this shape? Or, is it something like gold and silver wire?"

In the rivers and lakes, there are many people who use tough and thin filaments that are difficult to find as weapons.However, people who use this kind of weapon are rarely famous. After all, this kind of weapon can be regarded as a strange and obscene skill such as assassination poison weapon.

"If you use gold and silver threads, why are you still using copper plates?" Mo Qi asked a question, and then thought for a while, "Could it be... that the opposite side of the stone was actually modified by the latecomers?"

"Could it be that he used the copper plate not because he didn't have a hidden weapon, but when he used the weapon, he realized that once his weapon left traces, it would be easy for others to discover his identity, so he didn't dare to use his weapon again. Instead, just took a copper plate as a concealed weapon?"

"What kind of weapon will make this latecomer so sure that once he leaves traces, his identity will be discovered..." Gong Jiu murmured for a while, and his eyes suddenly lit up, "——It's the double ring!"

Mo Qi's thinking was interrupted: "Huh?"

Gong Jiu said to Mo Qi: "Didn't I say that Shangguan Jinhong is also the guild leader of the money gang that Jing Wuming works for? This person's weapon is double rings. And his martial arts has reached the level of 'no rings in his hands, and a heart in his heart'." ring' realm."

"Jing Wuming has already appeared here in Bashan. If there are traces of double rings again, it will easily remind people of Shangguan Jinhong who is inseparable from Jing Wuming—that's why he wants to cover up the traces of his use of force!"

With the direction of this guess, it is easy to find evidence.Gong Jiu's hand, which had been caressing the stone surface, stopped at a certain area of ​​the stone surface: "This position is not very smooth. If it was split by a knife or a sword, there would be no such marks... this The bulge shows that the weapon used by the person who splits the stone is actually not too big, so it takes multiple strokes to create the illusion of a completely flat face."

Mo Qi's eyes were filled with praise: "Shuanghuan really fits this description."

Gong Jiu sighed: "I just don't know where Shangguan Jin Hong took this headless bodyguard."

The ninth son is very worried.But he is definitely not worried about "the headless bodyguard was captured by Shangguan Jinhong", or "what the hell is the shadow man doing?" What he is worried about is--these cases come and go every day, which greatly reduces his own The normal time spent with the Taoist priest, according to this progress, when will he be able to hug the Taoist priest back?

Where did the Song Dynasty get so many cases? !Couldn't these shadow people let them take a rest first, and finish the most important things—such as a promise of love, such as a moment of spring festival—first, and then make troubles?

Gong Jiu raised her head, looked at the thoughtful look in Mo Qi's eyes, knew that Mo Qi's mind must be full of the case, and suddenly felt angry, thinking that ten little old men might not be troubled by this shadow.

For the current plan, they can only help to solve the case as soon as possible, get rid of the shadow man as soon as possible, so that they can continue to flirt with Mo Qi with peace of mind.

The wind blowing through the hall in the forest made Gong Jiu's heart a little cold, and he deeply understood why the ancients said: "The road is long and long, and I will search up and down."

As expected, Mo Qi didn't know Gong Jiu's heart of spring that was blown by the wind, and said very cautiously: "Master Jiu, don't you feel that this matter is a bit strange? Since Jing Wuming has already been to Bashan Mountain Road, after that, he will I haven't been here before—that means, Jing Wuming may already know that there are no clues he wants on Bashan Mountain Road and Headless Bodyguard."

"Since that's the case, why did Shangguan Jinhong come to arrest this headless bodyguard?"

Gong Jiu said dryly: "Perhaps after Jing Wuming went back, the shadow man discovered some doubts, so he asked Shangguan Jin Hong to interrogate this headless bodyguard again."

Unwillingly, he suppressed his small thoughts, thought for a while, and suddenly became enlightened: "——Daozhang, do you think that Shangguan Jinhong has recovered his memory just like Dongfang Bubai and the others... he and Isn’t Jing Wuming one of them?”

Mo Qi nodded: "Shangguan Jinhong has a behavior that makes me feel a little strange, that is, when he came to find this headless bodyguard, he was disguising and covering up the traces of his weapons, as if he really didn't want people to see his identity It seems... But Jing Wuming is not, even A Fei can find out that Jing Wuming once appeared on Bashan Mountain Road."

"Since Jing Wuming doesn't even care about showing his face, why does Shangguan Jinhong still want to cover up his whereabouts? He doesn't want to reveal his identity. Is it because he doesn't want to reveal his identity like the people who have always been investigating the case, or——he doesn't want to show his identity to someone who has controlled Jing Wuming?" The shadow man of fate reveals his identity?"

Gong Jiu agreed: "You are right. If you want to conceal your identity, then Jing Wuming should also pretend to be a headless bodyguard just like Shangguan Jinhong - but he didn't. Then Shangguan Jinhong's disguise must be him It was done to rescue Jing Wuming. The purpose was to kidnap the headless bodyguard who had been in contact with Jing Wuming, and at the same time prevent the shadow man from discovering his identity, so as not to scare the snake away."

When he said this, he paused for a moment: "...But, I don't think that a person like Shangguan Jin Hong would do this for the sake of saving a former subordinate of his."

Mo Qi looked at Gong Jiu and was silent for a while, then suddenly smiled softly: "Two months ago, if someone told you that you would run around to solve the case—"

Gong Jiu's narrow and beautiful Danfeng eyes glared at Mo Qi, because he was not very sharp, nor vicious at all, so there was some sense of anger for no reason: "Then he should prepare his own coffin."

Mo Qi's heart swayed because of Gong Jiu's glance, and he almost wanted to kiss those beautiful eyes.

Then, he realized that he had been diverted by Gong Jiu again, and this time he had spontaneously deviated from the topic. Changing the subject, he said, "I don't know if that headless bodyguard is alive or dead now."

Want to kiss... hold on!

... If he licked it, would it make his eyes turn red in panic... Mo Qi's eyes suddenly and imperceptibly cast an ominous red.

But before this evil thought could stir up trouble, it was so severely suppressed by Mo Qi's instinctive introspection that he couldn't lift his head: the blue sky and the white day actually think about these...these...dirty things!Why am I such a beast!

Mo Qi took a deep breath of the muddy air in the dense forest, trying to wake himself up.

He was still sternly condemning himself in his heart, when suddenly there was a murmuring sound beside him.

It sounded like someone's stomach was screaming empty city tricks.

Gong Jiu sulked his face in embarrassment.

Only then did Mo Qi temporarily let go of his filthy self, stop the desire in his heart, and said to Gong Jiu in a slow voice: "It's getting late, it's time to go down the mountain."

Mo Qi's heart is fuzzy, as if he has a panda cub in his pocket, and he is ironing and distressed: Jiu Gongzi's stomach growls must be because when the soup was cooked in the morning, he only served it to him, but he didn't drink it himself .You have to go down the mountain quickly and buy some breakfast for Jiu Gongzi.

With such thoughts in mind, Mo Qi always walks steadily on weekdays, but it is rare to be a little fast, and the steps are a little bit longer.After the two of them went down the mountain, Mo Qi took out his purse on his own initiative. Whenever Gong Jiu's eyes stayed on any stall for more than three breaths, he would ask, "Do you want to eat?", which made Gong Jiu finally On the contrary, he began to dislike him, and said to him, "Why are you talking so much today", Mo Qi then shut up, and slowly calmed down the inexplicably irritated mood.

They also went out to eat breakfast together, sitting at the chow mein stall eating oily mouths and sweating profusely, the disciples of the Tang Sect looked a little dull at the brisk walking Jiu Gongzi who was carrying a box of cherry blossom cakes in his hand, and Behind Jiu Gongzi, Mo Qi, who was hugging a whole mountain earlier, was disheveled in the winter wind on the streets of Bashan.

Tang Yuandao glanced at it as usual, and was used to being passed by his master, without noticing his existence at all. The panda cubs holding him were each gnawing on a fruit, smacking their lips and teeth.

The disciples of the Tang Sect who originally wanted to get up and say hello to Mo Qi and Gong Jiu who passed by the stall, their buttocks have already left the bench, and they sat back hesitantly: "..."

There are eight people here who are so big and have a disciple like Tang Yuandao. Why is the national teacher's eyes staring at the ninth son? Are they so insignificant?

A senior sister of the Tang Sect rubbed her chin, looked at Mo Qi holding her things and followed Gong Jiu's footsteps, and thought about it: "Why do I feel...these two...what's wrong?"

The way the national teacher followed behind the ninth son, it looked like her elder brother who scratched the ears was accompanying his sister-in-law to go shopping!

Tang Yuandao exclaimed, "Sister, you just need to get used to it."

The senior sister stared straight at Mo Qipan's straight back, and asked, "What do you mean?"

Tang Yuandao stepped on the bench, turned back the face of his fascinated senior sister, and said earnestly: "Senior sister! Don't look at it, there is no hope! My master and ninth son, they are the two of them!"

Tang Yuandao raised his hand and clenched his fist, stretched out two thumbs, and then said very seriously: "Besides, they have even done this!"

Tang Yuandao spread his hands again and began to rub against each other.

The panda cub in his arms tilted his head in confusion, followed Tang Yuandao in a dazed way, stacked his paws together, and began to rub slowly.

The senior sister rushed over screaming instantly, and covered the panda cub's eyes: "Ah——Tang Yuandao, you son of a bitch! Teach me bad cub!" She finished covering the panda cub's eyes before coughing twice , and asked Tang Yuandao, "How do you know...their past? Is it true, didn't you donate to me?"

Tang Yuandao raised his head: "Why do I want Sister Lu! It's true! I heard it from the corner of the wall with the current Holy One!"

The senior sister was dumbfounded for a moment: "... I remember, the ninth son seems to be the heir of Prince Taiping, the cousin of the current emperor? Hiss...then, do you know, they... who is going up and who is going down?" Made a hey expression.

Tang Yuandao was very precocious, and the old god was there: "Of course my master is on top! The one who begged for mercy was the ninth son!"

"Fuck!" The third senior sister who has always been famous for being wild in Tangmen widened her eyes in shock, and couldn't help turning her head to look at Mo Qi's back, with a hint of admiration in her eyes, "If you want to say wild, I'd better go far away from you Master Ye, you can actually have sex in front of the emperor... Cough, what with his cousin."

The senior sister couldn't help but turned back when she saw it, her pair of eyes almost wanted to stick to Mo Qi's body, she propped her chin and sighed: "Oh... look at this waist, and then look at this physique, tsk tsk tsk ..." Her eyes gradually went blank, and she murmured a little sourly, "Why do I still envy the emperor and his cousin?"

Gong Jiu, who was in a good mood, slid past the Taoist priest, and sneezed hard: "Ah——chirp!"

…………

Out of an inexplicable guilt of being embarrassed to face the right master after watching the gossip, all the disciples of the Tang Sect did not chase after Mo Qi and Gong Jiu. After visiting the morning market, I came back to look for them. They went out together to find the friend Tang Yuan and his junior brother came to Bashan to visit.

Dongfang Bubai didn't intend to interfere with Tangmen's private affairs, and because of the problem with the lotus seed soup that Bai Xiaohua served him in the morning, he couldn't leave the latrine, so he didn't come with him.

Tang Huaitian reasonably predicted that by the time they finished talking with Tang Yuan and his junior brother, Wangnian, and returned to Jiangshanzui, Bai Xiaohua's bones might have been properly dispose of.

Tang Yuanhe's friend who came to Bashan to visit was actually old enough to be Tang Yuanhe's grandfather.

The old man is a scholar. When he was young, he did not want to continue to work hard after passing the examination as a scholar, so he returned home and opened a private school, determined to concentrate on enlightening the children in his hometown.He met Tang Yuanhe because he was very proficient in some ancient characters, and Tang Yuanhe loved to find ancient books, so the two hit it off after an accidental encounter.

But even so, Tang Yuanhe never told He Xiucai that he was actually a Tang Sect disciple.

After Tang Huaitian revealed Tang Yuanhe's identity, He Xiucai was shocked for a long time, then frowned and got angry for a while, and finally sighed: "He never told me who he is. Since you will come to me , and told me that he is from the Tang Sect, is it because... something happened to him?"

He Xiucai's voice trembled a little, and there were tears in his eyes.To him, Tang Yuanhe is not only a like-minded friend, but also a junior who he loves and admires in his heart. He really does not want this talented and likable junior to have an accident, but Tang Yuanhe came to Bashan this time and just settled down. On the first day, he had already vaguely had an ominous premonition.

He Xiucai closed his eyes, forced back his tears, and said calmly: "I don't know what information is useful to you, so I will tell you everything that happened after he came to my house from beginning to end."

"Yuanhe came to see me when he arrived in Bashan, and he only stayed at my house for one day. When he first came, I felt something was wrong. He looked unhappy, and his brows were furrowed, as if he had something on his mind. I always knew that he had a secret that he didn't tell me, and I thought this matter would be related to his secret, and he couldn't tell me this secret, so I didn't ask."

The "secret" He Xiucai mentioned was the fact that Tang Yuanhe was actually a disciple of the Tang Sect.

"In this day, he went out three times in a row. The first time he went out, he even asked me if there was a hunter family near here. The man's name was 'Li Yi'. I don't often go out and meet people Those who deal with each other, the people who come back and forth are all children, at most they are the parents of these children, how do you know what Orion is. After he asked me, he didn’t know, so he didn’t say anything, turned around and left.”

Everyone exchanged glances.

When Tang Yuanhe went out this time, he must have gone to investigate the Li Yi he suspected.

He Xiucai said: "He didn't go out for a long time, and he came back in about half an hour. His expression seemed less tense. After entering the house, I asked him if he found the person he was looking for, and he smiled and said he did. "

Mo Qi frowned.

found it?Was the fake Li Yi still in Bashan at that time?It should be like this, and the fake Li Yi temporarily persuaded Tang Yuanhe to believe him, so Tang Yuanhe's expression improved a bit.

But... Since Tang Yuanhe will come to Li Yi for the second time, I am afraid that this fake Li Yi will realize that he has been suspected, and will definitely find a way to escape immediately.

He Xiucai: "I saw that he had just come back from the outside. I was afraid that he would be cold, so I went to add firewood. I don't know what stimulated him, but just adding firewood, his complexion suddenly became very bad. And without saying anything, he hurried out the door again."

"Add firewood?" Mo Qi repeated in doubt, "... Was there anything unusual at that time?"

He Xiucai shook his head: "What's the difference! From the moment he entered the door to the moment his face changed drastically, I just turned around and went to add some firewood!"

Tang Huaitian pondered for a while, and said in a low voice: "When we went to the address left by 'Li Yi' earlier, there was no pile of firewood in the house, and the stove was clean. If Li Yi is really an ordinary hunter who lives here for a long time, the family There must be firewood piled up for the winter, and the stove must not be so clean."

He Xiucai's act of adding firewood reminded Tang Yuanhe what he had overlooked, so Tang Yuanhe realized that he was cheated, and rushed out to confront the fake Li Yi—but if this was the case, why would there be another What about going out three times?

Tang Huaitian looked at He Xiucai with a hint of urging in his eyes.

He Xiucai said: "This time, he went away for a long time and didn't come back until night, and his complexion was very bad, and he looked very irritable. He didn't talk to me much, so he locked himself in the guest room until midnight. I came out with a black package on my back. I am old and get up frequently at night, so I just met him and left."

"Why did he look worse after he came back? Why did he go out again after he came back? Didn't he go to confront the fake Li Yi before he went out?" Ah Fei didn't understand. If it was him, he would definitely know After Li Yi deceived himself, he rushed directly to confront him.

Tang Huaitian shook his head: "Brother Yuanhe probably went to find the headless bodyguard, and wanted to confirm whether the headless bodyguard is a person who can be killed. Although Li Yi is a fake, if the headless bodyguard is indeed a criminal I, the Tang Sect, don’t care about employers concealing their identities, because there are always some employers who would find it inconvenient to use their identities to do things..."

"But Tang Yuanhe never sent a message to Tang Sect to terminate the commission." Mo Qi frowned, "Is it because he didn't confirm that the Headless Bodyguard is Zhengxie? Maybe when he went out for the second time that day , and did not encounter a headless bodyguard on the Bashan Mountain Road."

Gong Jiu nodded in agreement: "That's right, that's why he went out for the third time. Before he went out, he stayed in the guest room for so long. He must be making preparations. The black bag should be a hidden weapon he prepared. Tang Yuanhe may have already realized what he was going to face, so he wanted to make complete preparations as much as possible, and then test that fake Li Yi. But... I didn't expect that even if he had already made preparations, he would Didn't survive."

"He didn't expect that the power behind Li Yi is more difficult to deal with than he thought, and it has far exceeded the scope of his ability to solve it."

Tang Huaitian's lips trembled, as if he wanted to refute Gong Jiu's statement that "he didn't survive".But rationality told him that since Tang Yuanhe would never return after going out for the third time, and there was no news from him, it must be a disaster.

Tang Yuandao looked at his senior brother's face, hugged the panda cub, pulled Mo Qi's hand and said, "But, didn't the senior brother say that the address given by the fake Li Yi was an empty house with nothing? Then there was no fight." There are no traces of the agency, where did Senior Brother Yuan He go to fight the fake Li Yi?"

Mo Qi pondered for a while, then asked Tang Huaitian: "If you were Tang Yuanhe, when you came to Li Yi's house after all the preparations, but found it was empty, what would you do?"

Tang Huaitian thought for a while with lowered eyes, and said, "I will go to Bashan Mountain Road."

"Since that fake Li Yi has entrusted the headless bodyguard to die, and my visit has already alarmed the snake and made him evacuate the fake address, then this fake Li Yi will definitely kill the headless bodyguard himself. Because the fake Li Yi already knew that I was suspicious of him, so the Tang Sect probably won't accept this order, so the Headless Bodyguard must be handled by him."

Ah Fei said a little irritably: "But we have been to Bashan Mountain Road before. There is no trace of hidden weapons, and there is no trace of fighting. The rain of the day before yesterday has washed away all these evidences."

"But what about Tang Yuanhe? He is a person, a living person. Rain can wash away footprints and ruts, so can it also wash away such a big person as Tang Yuanhe?" Gong Jiu said coldly.

Mo Qi said: "The only solution now is to go up the mountain and look for it."

Tang Yuandao whispered dejectedly: "But Bashan is so big..."

Who knows where Yuan He's body is hidden?What if the black hand behind the scenes was more ruthless and directly destroyed his body?Then where can they find it!

Tang Huaitian cheered up: "Don't talk about being discouraged. Don't forget that the person who wants to kill the headless bodyguard must be the person who wants to stop the seizure of the bodyguard of the Hongmen bodyguard bureau. That is to say, the black hand behind the scenes, He must be the one who took away Hongmen's dart!"

"There were as many as six carts of bodyguards transported by Hongmen that day, and as many as a hundred bodyguards. But when the robbed bodyguard team was discovered by passers-by, there were only empty bodyguard carts left. The first hundred bodyguards."

"Hundred bodyguards whose heads were cut off... that's nothing. If you're a master, one against a hundred is not a problem. But the treasures of the six carts...they were not taken away by the car, they were taken out of the car. let's go."

"It is not an easy task to transfer these darts without trace. The person who robbed the darts must have hidden the robbed darts in one place first, and then thought about how to transfer them away in batches. According to the situation at the time , they are probably hiding in the mountains."

Tang Yuandao's eyes lit up: "That's why...that headless bodyguard has been blocking the mountain road to prevent people from leaving! He must have thought of this, and he didn't want the person who robbed the bodyguard to take away the bodyguard! Even ...Those who want to seize the robbery darts!"

Gong Jiu nodded slightly: "That's reasonable... Besides, even if the darts have been transported away by the dart robbers, what about the hundreds of heads of the Hongmen bodyguards? The dart robbers should not be interested in taking their heads away." Let's take them away together too! Regardless of what they mean by cutting off the heads of the Hongmen people, those heads have never been found, and no one wants to take them away with the treasure, so they must be hidden on the mountain .”

Tang Yuanhe nodded: "Since Junior Brother Yuanhe will...lose contact, there must be a conflict with Li Yi's group. As Yuan Dao and Mr. Jiu said, I think the place where the conflict is likely to occur is behind the scenes Some people hide heads, or hide darts, or where the headless bodyguard hides those passers-by who have been looted by him and don't know whether they are alive or dead."

Ah Fei said slowly: "If that's the case, he should have left a secret message for you, right?"

Tang Yuanhe nodded: "Yes."

Mo Qi said decisively: "We will go up the mountain immediately."

·

·

The previous two times when going up the mountain, none of the Tang Sect disciples followed, this time eight Tang Sect disciples followed along the mountain road carefully, and they really saw a mark in a thorn tree.

A Fei stared at the tree thorn for a while, and began to wonder whether his eyesight was bad, or people from the Tang Sect were born with eyes that could see something different from ordinary people.He looked up at the expressions of Mo Qi and Gong Jiu, saw the same emptiness in Gong Jiu's eyes, and felt at ease immediately.

It's not that his eyes are wrong, it's that people in Tangmen are different.

A Fei lowered his head and saw Tang Yuandao holding the panda cub with the same dazed expression, and the last bit of self-doubt in his heart disappeared.

This time, Mo Qi and Gong Jiu couldn't see anything anymore, so they could only follow the disciples of the Tang Sect and follow the marks all the way to the dense forest.

"Look at the situation... It seems like we've been walking towards the top of the mountain." Gong Jiu frowned, annoyed by the mud under his feet.

Fortunately, in order to find Tang Yuanhe, Tang Huaitian, who was leading the way, walked very quickly, and everyone only used half a stick of incense, followed these circling marks, and found what they were looking for.

Hundreds of skulls, hidden weapons everywhere, and blood stains on the bark.

Tang Huaitian's feet softened, and he leaned against the tree trunk beside him.

There is no body of Tang Yuanhe.

A feeling of luck was born in his heart, thinking: Could it be that...Tang Yuanhe is not dead yet?

Gong Jiu stared at the skulls randomly thrown in the pit, his eyes dazed for a while.

Mo Qi walked up to him and asked in a low voice, "What's the matter?"

Gong Jiu shook her head: "It's nothing, I just find it strange."

He pointed to the skulls in the pit: "Don't you think that the people who robbed the bodyguards chopped off the heads of the Hongmen bodyguards, and then specially transported them to the mountains to hide them, and even used drugs to destroy these heads. Is the series of behaviors strange?"

"Why do you have to go to such a big trouble? You just rob the darts, you kill the darts, you kill the darts, at worst, they all cut their throats, why do you want to get all the heads off, destroy them, and then hide them? Why? Do you want to be so troublesome? Isn’t this superfluous, and find something for yourself to do?”

Gong Jiu glanced at Mo Qi: "I keep thinking about this issue, especially several previous cases involved this kind of ruined face—for example, the Ma Mitu case at Yumenguan earlier."

Mo Qi frowned: "What do you mean—" He paused, and suddenly understood Gong Jiu's meaning, "Do you think that Hongmen's bodyguards were not completely wiped out, and some people did not die?"

Everyone who was still looking at the skull pit heard the words and looked over one after another.

Gong Jiudao: "I think it's possible. Because this action of taking the head is really weird. I think it's possible that some people in the Hong Clan were greedy to do this case of robbing the darts and exterminating the family. If you don’t have enough companions, you have to get a few more corpses to pretend to be yourself.”

"After all, this is the dart they transported, and they can't steal it if they want. After the guard steals it, he must have his life to enjoy these treasures, right? Isn't it a good idea to use feigned death to escape the golden cicada's shell?"

"However, their corpses will be sent back to the Hongmen and be identified by the people of the Hongmen. Then, wouldn't they be betrayed? That's why they not only killed all their companions, but also sent all the corpses— — including the fake own corpse — all had their heads cut off, their flesh and bones were destroyed, and they were hidden deep in the mountains.”

Tang Huaiyuan pondered and said: "The ninth son's words are reasonable... Besides, the location where the Hongmen bodyguard team was robbed is too coincidental. The road from Beidi to Bashan was calm, but when they arrived at Hongmen's own territory, they were robbed." People were robbed and killed so badly."

"Wait, if you say that, what happened to the headless bodyguard on the Bashan Mountain Road that prevented people from crossing the mountain road?" Ah Fei asked puzzled.

Tang Yuandao rolled his eyes: "I know this! This one is called, Darkness Under the Light! People in Bashan must have immediately thought that this might be the person from Hongmen who wanted to complain about injustices and find a bodyguard when they saw the headless bodyguard. And did it. If everyone thinks this way, then it is in the hands of the enemy! Because no one will suspect that all this was done by the people of Hongmen!"
