Chapter 200: Catharsis
Murong Pei sighed softly, leaning weakly on the seat, his ethereal eyes looked through the windshield in front of the car, looking aimlessly at the blue sky in the distance.
"I know the murderer!" There was a hint of tremor and panic in his voice, but the tone was affirmative, unmistakable.
Wen Jun had already sensed something from Murong Pei's unusual speech when he saw the simulated portrait of the suspect, as well as the subtle changes in his facial expressions. Therefore, when Murong Pei said this, he was not too surprised.
He felt the fear when Murong Pei spoke, and couldn't help frowning, a little ununderstanding, isn't it just a murderer, thanks to you Murong Pei is still a young talent with good martial arts, why are you so frightened?
"Which murderer?" Wen Jun asked knowingly, wanting Murong Pei to say this sentence completely.
This is just like when the police interrogate a prisoner, knowing that the other party is a man, they will ask "gender" more than once, which is a psychological effect. Wen Jun wanted to use this to dispel Murong Pei's fear.
Murong Pei took a deep breath, and when his mood gradually calmed down a little, he said word by word: "I know the one you simulated'10." 18 Murderers of the Door Destroying Case. ”
Wen Jun nodded and asked, "He's your friend?" ”
"Yes, yes, no, no, no." Murong Pei nodded first, then immediately shook his head in denial, showing a look of contradiction on his face.
Wen Jun couldn't help but smile dumbly: "Second brother, what are you panicking about?" Yes, yes, no, no. ”
Wen Jun's laughter eased the tense and oppressive atmosphere, Murong Pei gently rubbed his hands on his temples, and after his mood regained some calm, he said again: "I've only met him once, and I don't even know his name." ”
"Oh, such a person, and you are so afraid?" Wen Jun asked puzzled.
He ...... He just asked me to keep ...... The old man who kept the 'Jishan Travel Map'. Murong Pei seemed to have put a lot of effort into it, and immediately after saying this, he sat down on the seat, panting.
"Ahh As if he had suddenly suffered a sharp lightning strike, Wen Jun's whole person was immediately petrified, and he was completely unconscious.
Such a result was really unexpected by Wen Jun. This unexpected of his was not to say "10. The murderer of the "18 Door Destroying Case" was unexpected, but the current owner of the "Jishan Travel Map"!
That night, when Wen Jun opened the bag of things that Murong Pei handed him, he was stunned for a while. He couldn't have imagined that the "Jishan Travel Map" would suddenly appear in front of his eyes. Since then, he has been wondering who discovered and preserved it to this day.
In a trance, Wen Jun's thoughts seemed to return to the years of suffering thousands of years ago.
"Jishan Travel Map" was drawn by Mr. Han Tong, a famous painter and traveler at that time, by Gao Zhentian, which is not only a Danqing ink painting, but also a treasure map. Gao Zhentian naturally loved it like a treasure, and hid it in the secret room, except for a few relatives around him, no one else knew about it. A hundred years after him, the "Jishan Travel Map" was handed over to Li Ruxue.
With Gao Zhentian's departure, the scandal of his private teaching of the "Dragon Ring" and "Dragon Slaying Technique" to Wen Jun was soon exposed in front of martial arts people.
"The husband is not guilty, but he is guilty"!
Those "martial arts heroes" and "righteous warriors of the rivers and lakes" were all angry, and under the banner of upholding justice, they formed a group to kill Jishan, where the general altar of the "Martial Arts Alliance" was located at that time.
In the face of the swarming and menacing martial arts people, Li Ruxue didn't have time to take the "Jishan Travel Map" from the secret room, and led Wen Jun and Gao Gao Yao to fight and retreat, and finally retreated to the cliff behind Jishan.
In front is the menacing "martial arts heroes" and "righteous warriors of the rivers and lakes", and there are abyss cliffs in the back. In this situation where there was no way to retreat and no way to avoid, Li Ruxue was outnumbered, and finally died tragically under the swords of everyone, Wen Jun and Gao Gao Yao were forced to jump off the cliff.
Since then, the whereabouts of the "Jishan Travel Map" have not been known.
And now, Wen Jun is very likely to uncover the mysterious journey of "Jishan Travel Map". Just find "10. The murderer of the "18 Door Destroying Case", follow his clue to investigate, and there will definitely be a day when the truth will be revealed.
Wen Jun has secretly made up his mind, what he has to do now is to protect the wealth left by his master Gao Zhentian, and the second is to find out the source of the "Jishan Travel Map" and give an explanation to the dead master and mother.
"Xiaojun, you...... Why are you crying? Murong Pei turned his head and straightened up from his seat in surprise when he saw Wen Jun with tears streaming down his face.
Unconsciously, his thoughts about his master and his wife have turned into tears, and he is venting to his heart's content.
"Ah, there are grains of sand...... The sand got into the eyes, and the autumn wind was a little too strong. Wen Jun quickly wiped his eyes to hide his inner emotions.
Murong Pei looked out the window of the car, thinking that although the autumn wind blew the leaves and flew everywhere, it would not blow the sand into the car. Xiaojun: What's wrong? Are you worried about me?
Seeing Murong Pei's suspicious expression, Wen Jun hurriedly changed the topic: "Second brother, tell me how you met this murderer." ”
Murong Pei recounted what happened by the Zishui River that day.
Wen Jun was taken aback and asked, "Second brother, are you saying that you met this murderer in the upper reaches of the Zishui River?" ”
Murong Pei nodded affirmatively and said, "That's right, it's there." ”
"Let's go, let's go and see."
Murong Pei closed the window, didn't say a word, started the BMW and left quickly.
"Second brother, just stop here, don't go near that area." When "10. 18 When the villa at the scene of the incident was getting closer and closer, Wen Jun hurriedly stopped Murong Pei.
Murong Pei parked the car in the jungle on the side of the road. From here, the surface of the Zishui River is still calm, and the river is flowing unscathed. Through the swaying foliage, the villa appears serene and mysterious.
"That's where I met the murderer across the street from that villa." Murong Peiyao pointed to the villa and said.
"That's where the man ended up jumping into the river and escaping?" Wen Jun pointed to the riverbank opposite the villa and said, he wanted to confirm his judgment in his heart.
"Yes, that's where you jumped into the river."
Wen Jun nodded silently, his eyes patrolling back and forth between the villa, Phoenix Island, and Zishui River. The Purple River was by no means as calm as it seemed, and he knew that very well.
