Chapter Fifty-Seven: The Twelfth Man
Everyone lost their voices: "Could it be that Your Excellency is actually the old man Hong who is known as the 'lock god'?!"
The red-nosed shopkeeper slowly straightened his waist, clenched his short and thick fingers, arched them, and said with a smile: "It's easy to say!
Everyone was stunned. Compared with the "Lock God" and the "Lock God," the ability of the "Divine Lock" is already superior; "Red Master" and "Old Man Hong" are on the same page, and their identities have been distinguished! This bad old man, who is not good-looking, is actually the master and uncle of the Red Master who catches the head of the six doors! And those that the Red Master has learned are less than one-tenth of his master's, and they are already famous, so ...... are the junior disciples of his master's master? Everyone can no longer imagine it, and they can't help but look at the short and thick fingers of the red-nosed shopkeeper. Sure enough, people can't be disgraced.
Hengchuan was dizzy, and Xue Hao hurriedly supported him. "What's wrong with you?"
Hengchuan held his head in both hands and said remorsefully: "It's over, it's over, I, I ...... last night slapped the 'lock god' two brains......"
Old Man Hong turned back to Hengchuan and smiled: "Okay, boy, your hand strength is not small." Hengchuan rolled his eyes and almost lost his breath.
Shopkeeper Lu asked: "I have heard for a long time that the old man Hong has traveled all over the world and has no fixed residence, how can he be a shopkeeper here?" The reason why they mistakenly thought that Old Man Hong was Red Master was because everyone really couldn't guess it as Shopkeeper Lu asked, and second, that Red Master and Old Man Hong were about the same age.
"You think I was pretending to be scared last night, but unfortunately I was. Old Man Hong smiled bitterly: "I watched my senior brother fall off the cliff and die, since then, I will be afraid as soon as I stand on a high place, this disease can not even be cured by ghost doctors, I simply retired to the rivers and lakes to guard this important liaison station." After a pause, he added, "There was another reason why I was afraid last night, I didn't want to be stung to death by those bees! I also watched those monsters fly into the next door!"
As he was talking, there was a sudden sound of arguments, insults, and fights downstairs, and the little shell sitting by the window looked down at Lu casually and said, "It's just a brawl in the market." β
Everyone's attention is here, and there is no time to care. I only heard the shopkeeper Lu ask again: "Since you are so afraid of heights, why did you hang outside the child's window last night?"
"This ...... This ......" Old Man Hong suddenly became cramped, rubbed his hands under the table, and secretly looked at the sea with a red face.
Canghai said: "He didn't worry about me, so he came to take a look." If you just say no, why are you ashamed? Old man Hong lowered his head and said, "Mother-in-law, mother-in-law, shame." β
Canghai narrowed his eyes and smiled. "It's good that you know the way. β
There was a sudden shouting downstairs, which was deafening.
"Then why didn't you identify yourself last night?" In order to hear clearly, Shopkeeper Lu shouted out.
"Besides, even if I say it, will you believe it? Besides, if Gongzi doesn't admit that I must have his reason, of course I can't say it myself," Canghai sighed, and Old Man Hong continued: "Besides, if I was really a bad guy, he would have been the first to run up, and I would have waited for you to interrogate for so long a day?"
The noise weakened, and Canghai said helplessly: "Even if you force me to recognize you, you don't have to make up the twelfth man in black." β
Old Man Hong's eyes narrowed, "Only this one didn't I made up! I really saw it on the stairs, otherwise why would I come to see you?"
Canghai's face sank suddenly, and he shouted, "Next door!" and rushed to the door like a rabbit.
The bees in the next room had long since dispersed, and eleven killers were no more or less, butβ
It's all gone!
Xue Hao leaned over and touched it, "It's still hot, the murderer didn't run far, chase it!"
"No need to chase. Canghai whispered to stop.
Old Man Hong nodded, "This was premeditated, the scene downstairs just now was nothing more than to deal with your ears." So, there is no need to chase at all. I can't catch up at all. β
Canghai's eyebrows frowned slightly, "Hengchuan, go down and check." β
Xue Hao leaned over to examine the corpse again, frowned, and said, "My throat was crushed." β
Shopkeeper Lu sighed: "What a quick shot." β
Canghai couldn't see any expression on his face, and he slowly paced to the window with a light and breezy demeanor. Last night's wide open windows were still open, and the smell of pollen still lingered in the air. Tang Qiuchi grabbed him, his face was as cold as ice, "Don't stand at the window, the murderer may still be nearby." Canghai stared out the window and gently pushed Tang Qiuchi away. ,
The sky was clear and the sun was shining, but Canghai's face still changed. Tang Qiuchi didn't dare to stay away, and clinged to Canghai's side.
Xiao Shell poked his head out from behind Tang Qiuchi and said, "Isn't that Yun Qianzai, why is he here?"
Canghai put his hand on the lower window frame, and there were no clues such as the murderer's shoe prints on the lower window frame, after all, this is a window facing the street, and jumping from here is too eye-catching. Canghai watched Yun Qianzai come out of the cloth village opposite, and fell backwards in less than two steps, Guan Han hurriedly caught him and shouted, "Master!" Congren was also in a hurry for a while, and heard someone shouting: "Why are you dizzy again!"
Xiao Shell couldn't help but wonder, "What's wrong with him?" Canghai lashed down and didn't speak. The man lifted Yun Qianzai into the carriage with all hands and feet, and whipped away.
Hengchuan came back and reported: "The scene just now was a chauffeur of a merchant named Yun Qianzai who fought with that man because someone was blocking his way, and the onlookers followed and shouted. Canghai nodded.
Heng Chuan looked preoccupied, and he didn't say much, so he hurried to see the killer who had been out of breath for a long time after the report, and after a while, he patted his chest and let out a sigh, "It's really for someone to kill, I thought it was the bee I attracted to sting to death, then I can ...... uncle" looked at the sea and closed his mouth.
Canghai doesn't speak, and others don't dare to speak. After a while, Shopkeeper Lu said: "There are not many people on the rivers and lakes who can crush the throats of eleven people in such a short time. β
After being quiet for a while, Canghai walked from the window to the table and sat down, facing the group of dead people, and slowly spoke: "It's useless." These people are well-trained killers, they have learned the means of killing, and they use the tools of killing, are all their weapons short, easy to carry, and extremely sharp? Are they better at shooting in the dark? Are their moves all deadly?" Although he was asking, his tone was affirmative, and he continued without waiting for an answer: "Therefore, there will be no names of them in the rivers and lakes. β
"But one thing is for sure," Shopkeeper Lu smiled suddenly, "you probably didn't really fall asleep last night when we fought. β
