Verse 5: The Murderer

Yang Ling couldn't figure it out, so he went to Zheng Tiannan's room again. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

The little screaming flower gently pushed the door open and clapped her hands: "Hey, they're not stupid, they should still be the same as when the murder happened." Yang Ling took a look, and sure enough, the tables and chairs in the room were neat, and there was a large pool of blood marks on the ground.

Yang Ling groaned: "It has been more than a day since the murder happened, but it has not alarmed the government. ”

"What's so strange about that? The inexplicable death of the head of the family is mostly a vendetta in the rivers and lakes, and his own people don't know how he died, of course he doesn't want to alarm the government and cause trouble in vain. It's better to investigate by yourself, his Zheng family has tens of thousands of dollars, just stuff a few ingots. Xiao Zhaohua replied casually.

Yang Ling didn't say anything more, and also observed carefully. Except for the vague palm prints on the case, which are quite strange, nothing else has been found. The two checked the door bolt and window again, and it was indeed locked from the inside out.

"Hmm, it seems that there really isn't anything else to discover?" Xiao Xiaohua squatted on the ground and propped her chin in thought.

Yang Ling pondered: "If you can wait until nightfall, open the coffin for an autopsy or find some clues, it is obviously inappropriate at this moment. He turned around and saw that Steward Zheng was still sighing outside the door, and unconsciously walked over and asked, "Uncle, did Old Hero Zheng invite anyone to come to the house that night?"

Steward Zheng frowned, thought for a long time, and then said: "The master checked the account books first, and then asked me to get the jade pearl, and when I sent it, I saw Liu Shi coming out of the old man's room, but at that time the master was still alone in the room, he asked me to step down, and I went back to the room." At that time, it was around the end of the day. ”

Yang Ling nodded, went back to the room and stared at the pool of blood on the ground, carefully recalling the conversation between Di, Zheng and others, and suddenly shrugged his eyebrows, as if he thought of something: "It is unknown who took the jade pearl, but obviously Long Yuanjiang can't get in, and this whole process seems to be deliberate." Then he picked up the bloody golden knife on the table, stared at the scabbard hanging on the wall, and said to himself: "Strange, since you have been attacked by a sneak attack, you should fight back on the spot, how can you have the spare time to take the knife on the wall?"

The two of them couldn't find anything, and still returned to the lobby.

At this time, Di and He had already dismantled more than 100 moves.

This Di Suying swung his long sword and grabbed the middle lane. There are many good players among the guests, and when they saw Di Suying's move, they couldn't help but sigh: "What a move, 'Wild Goose Falling'!" He Lian slashed obliquely with a single knife, and everyone cheered again, only to see him slash up under the knife, and immediately turned to defend and attack.

"Suspicious?" Yang Ling was stunned: "Isn't this move the 'Frozen Thunder Bamboo Shoots' in the Jinyi Guard Sword Technique?

The two split and slashed, always tied.

Di Suying fought for a long time, and he didn't feel anxious: "As a senior disciple of the head of the Hengshan faction, if I can't defeat this He Lian, what face will I have to return to Hengshan!" Thinking about it, the long sword was waved even more urgently, forcing He Lian to retreat again and again.

Yang Ling looked at it for a while, and knew that Di Suying's martial arts were slightly above He Lian, and once he took the lead, he could win within dozens of moves.

Sure enough, Di Suying made three moves in a row, He Lian blocked two swords with a single sword, and the third sword swept past his neck, which frightened him into a cold sweat, and his sword skills were even more scattered.

After a few more moves, Di Suying shouted: "Don't withdraw the knife yet!" He slashed He Lian's wrist with a move "Wild Goose Flying Wanyue Tian". Zheng Jing saw that He Lian couldn't resist, and exclaimed, "Su Ying, be merciful!" Di Suying heard her exclaim, her heart softened, and the long sword swept three inches away from He Lian's wrist.

He Lian gritted his teeth, and the single knife in his right hand went straight to Di Suying's heart, Di Suying's long sword didn't turn around in a hurry at this moment, so he had to turn sideways to avoid it. He Lian rushed to the momentum, swept past Di Suying, and slashed his neck with a single knife.

Zheng Jing shouted: "Senior brother, stop!" Where is He Lian willing to listen, Hengshanmen said: "Senior Brother Di be careful!" Although they want to save each other, they can't reach it. When everyone saw that Na He was even shamelessly attacking, they all shouted: "Di Shaoxia be careful!"

Di Suying hurriedly made a short body on an iron plate bridge, and retreated sharply, He Lian saw that he couldn't split him, and took a look with his left hand. Yang Ling's eyes were sharp, and he immediately shouted: "Be careful of the hidden weapon!" I saw He Lian's hand raised, and a cluster of hidden weapons shot out like electricity! Di Suying was so close to him, how could he avoid it?" "Ah!" Zheng Jing hid his face, and everyone exclaimed.

Hearing the sound of "pop!", a person flew in, and a folding fan opened, blocking all of He Lian's hidden weapons!

Needless to say, that person was Yang Ling.

The people of Hengshanmen sighed, and everyone sighed at the same time: "This person is really extraordinary!"

How did others know that Yang Ling was full of flavors at the moment: "Alas, why did I make another move? If I don't make a move, wouldn't I want to see people die again?"

"He Lian, you are so fucking despicable and shameless!" "That's it, my Senior Brother Di has mercy, but you will take revenge!" Liu Shi and the others of the Golden Dao Gate said strongly: "Compare ...... Isn't it also a means to compete with hidden weapons?" Zheng Jing hung her head and was speechless, and Mrs. Zheng just sneered.

At this moment, I suddenly heard a voice: "You don't have to fight, I know who the murderer is!"

When everyone heard this, they all turned around, and even the little flower looked at Yang Ling in surprise. Yang Ling smiled slightly and repeated: "I know who the murderer is." ”

"Who is it!?" the crowd asked urgently.

Yang Ling unfolded the folding fan and said slowly: "If you want to know who the murderer is, you must know the ins and outs of the whole case." Let's recap. It turned out that Yang Ling suddenly figured out one thing in a flash of inspiration, so the whole thing was logical. He glanced at the little flower next to him.

The little guy immediately understood and said, "Okay, I'll tell you!" Mr. Zheng was killed in a sealed room the day before yesterday, and the cause of death was a severe injury to the lower abdomen and excessive blood loss. A bloody single knife was found at the scene, and the door was locked, but the window was open and undamaged. The initial inference is that it was a murder in a closed room. He paused and asked, "I'm not wrong, am I?"

Everyone nodded. He continued: "I said, there were several seniors such as Sun, Ma, and Chu present at that time, as well as Brother Di, Brother He, Miss Zheng, Grandma Zheng and other Zheng Mansion people, and the time for everyone to rush over was only half a cup of tea, right?"

"Then please tell me where you were and what you were doing when the murder happened. As soon as he said this, someone shouted, "Is the murderer among them?"

There was an uproar at the scene. Yang Ling used his internal strength and said, "Please be quiet! ”

Sun Baisheng was shocked by his internal strength, and stammered for a while: "Uh...... Let...... Let me think about it, well, at that time, Sun was talking with Brother Ma in the West Chamber, and when he heard the shouting, he rushed out together, and when he came out, he also ran into Brother Chu, and the three of them rushed together. Ma Xingde and Chu Dai also nodded yes.

Yang Ling nodded and looked at Di Suying. Di Suying said: "When I discussed with a few junior disciples in the West Chamber when to return to the mountain, after that, I went back to the room to practice swords. During this period, Senior Brother Zhai came to me. A man beside him said, "Yes." I asked my senior brother for swordsmanship. ”

Not long after Senior Brother Zhai left, he heard the shouting, Di hurriedly rushed to Sister Jing, and when he saw that she was fine, he went to the scene together. ”

Zheng Jing and Yang Ling glanced at each other, blushed, and said, "Yes." Yang Ling still asked as usual: "Then may I ask Miss Zheng, where has she been all this time and what have you done?"

"Because my aunt wants to make ginseng soup for my father, the little girl is in her aunt's room all the time to help take care of her younger brother. ”

Mrs. Zheng snorted coldly: "That's right. I made the soup, gave it to the master, and then went back to the room, which seemed to be the end of the hour. As soon as I returned to the room, I heard the old man's screams. ”

Yang Ling then turned to He Lian: "What about Brother He?"

He Lian put away the single knife and said: "I was very drunk at dinner, and I was helped back to the room by the disciples, and I was sleeping all the time, when I suddenly heard a scream, I woke up and ran quickly. ”

The little boy Hua said coldly: "Hey, the master has been injured, and he still has the heart to drink, he is really a good apprentice." He Lian blushed and scolded, "I...... Lao Tzu, I'm ...... Isn't it okay to drink to drown your sorrows?"

"Yes, of course. Ha ha. ”

Yang Ling asked a few more Liu Shi and a few other Zheng Mansion disciples.

Sun Baisheng was puzzled and asked, "This little brother, how did the murderer enter the secret room and kill Brother Zheng, and how did he escape in such a short time?"

Yang Ling said slowly: "The murderer has actually been in Teacher Zheng's room and has never left. ”

"Ahh

"So, how did the murderer escape after he killed Mr. Zheng?" asked Ma Xingde.

"The murderer is very clever, and he uses a clever method that makes it easy for us to ignore a point. If we ignore this, we will be led to another misunderstanding, and we will not be able to get out of it. Yang Ling paused and said with a smile: "I wonder if anyone here will notice when you leave this place to go to Teacher Zheng's bedroom?

"This?" Chu Dai said, "There are so many guests here, unless you pay special attention to it, how will you know?"

Yang Ling bowed his head and said: "Yes, this is to hide from the sky and cross the sea! Because everyone was flustered at that time, as soon as they rushed into the door, they found that Teacher Zheng had been killed, and the lantern was difficult to illuminate at night, so naturally they didn't have the heart to care about who the person next to them was, let alone calculate, whether there was one more person around! Not to mention that the murderer was originally a member of the Zheng family, and it was too reasonable to appear there!"

Everyone looked at each other, all recalling the scene: "Who was the person around me at that time?"

The little flower clapped his hands and said, "Wonderful." So the murderer mixed in with the people who came, checked the cause of Mr. Zheng's death together, and by the way, he could also see if there were any mistakes, but he found that there was nothing, so he left calmly, right?"

Chu Dai seemed incredulous, and muttered, "Who is the murderer, if it is from the Zheng Mansion, why does no one have a knife wound or a torn clothes?"

Yang Ling shook his head and sighed: "Senior Chu, you are wrong, the knife at the murder scene is not Teacher Zheng's knife." It was the knife left by the murderer, and the blood stains on the knife were also Mr. Zheng's!"

"What? What's going on?"

This is because the murderer used a more ingenious method, which made his first method more perfect, that is, the transfer of flowers and trees in the thirty-six schemes! I once took off the scabbard in Mr. Zheng's room, but found a flaw. That is, the sheath is heavy and the knife is light!"

"Huh?"

"Zheng Lao Hero is accustomed to using golden knives, as far as I know, his golden knives are no different from ordinary knives in style, but the blade is made of pure gold, which is very heavy, so the rivers and lakes have the saying that 'the golden knife town Tiannan, the knife weighs fifty catties'. His knife is not easy to imitate!" He said, took out the bloody gold knife, slapped the back of his palm on the knife body, and the magic was everywhere, the gold paint on the knife body peeled off inch by inch, this turned out to be a copper knife plated with gold paint!

The guests were stunned, and Yang Ling said: "At that time, Mr. Zheng died, and everyone had no intention of checking whether his old man's blade had been dropped, and in the same way, because the murderer also used a knife, after he killed Mr. Zheng, he left the bloody knife at the scene, and he took Mr. Zheng's knife, pretending to arrive in a hurry with the blade, in the dark night, who would pay attention to whether the knife in his hand was a gold knife or a copper knife!?"

"And that night, Teacher Zheng once asked a disciple to come to his room, what was it for?" Speaking of this, Yang Ling had already seen a person in the crowd with a frightened expression, and shouted: "Liu Shi, don't recruit from the truth!"

Liu Shi took two steps back: "No, no, nothing." Yang Ling saw that he turned around and wanted to escape, and immediately grabbed his wrist with a move, Liu Shi hit his right palm, Yang Ling stopped the folding fan, and with a slide, it was against his throat.

Chu Dai said angrily: "Liu Shi, it turned out that you killed Brother Zheng?"

Yang Ling waved his hand: "No, he is not a murderer." ”

Liu Shi said in a trembling voice: "Yes, yes, how can I be a murderer?"

"You are not the murderer, but you know who the murderer is. ”

"Who's the murderer!?"

Liu Shi watched everyone stare at him viciously, and swallowed unconsciously.

Yang Ling followed his eyes and looked at He Lian: "Brother He, it's really you!"
