40: Fixed

Cheng Li suddenly said: "Understood." You have been to Bixia Yuanjun Temple. Therefore, the fragrance of your body remains in the temple. The murderer then went to the temple to kill people, so naturally he was also contaminated with fragrance. , right?"

Guan Er Yanran said: "Exactly." And this incense has another benefit. It's the aroma that lasts for a long time. As long as it is contaminated, it will take at least half a month before it will gradually dissipate. In the past half a month, even if the murderer soaked in the bathhouse every day, he couldn't imagine that he would be able to wash away the aroma. ”

Cheng Li groaned: "Not bad. In this way, the murderer can indeed be found out with this fragrance. But before we can catch the murderer, we need a hound that is sensitive enough. ”

Wan'er smiled: "Don't be so troublesome. The incense of this 'poppy' is made by people's own hands. Therefore, people are most sensitive to this aroma. As long as it is within thirty feet, no matter where the murderer goes, he will never be able to hide from people's noses. ”

Cheng Li pondered: "Thirty zhang? In this way, there is no way to start looking for clues from Bixia Yuanjun Temple like using a hound, and then track it all the way...... Then, we have to think of a way to catch the murderer. ”

Without thinking, Wan'er blurted out, "This is easy." The murderer first killed people in Bai Yujing, and then killed people in Tai'an Mansion, didn't he just pour dirty water on you, Brother Cheng?

But what is the purpose of splashing dirty water? It should be for you to make trouble for Brother Cheng, right? The more people who die, the more important your status is, and the heavier the pressure on you, Brother Cheng. The more many masters come out and make it difficult for you to fight Brother Cheng. In the final analysis, this is a plan to lead to disaster and kill people with a knife. ”

Cheng Li nodded slowly and said, "Not bad." In fact, the strategy can be said to have succeeded. At least, the heads of the five factions, including Huashan, Qingcheng, Emei, Kongtong, and Kunlun, have been alarmed by the murder and have come down to settle accounts with me.

The heads of the Changbai and Hainan factions, although they are located in a remote area, the time to receive the news is a little slower, and there is no action for the time being. But it must be the same.

In addition, just now on the lake, the heads of the three factions such as Taishan, Songshan, and Hengshan, plus the leaders of the four major gangs such as the Salt Gang, the Tongqian Gang, the Cao Gang, and the Beggars Gang, as well as a Fa Hua, the presiding abbot of the lower courtyard of Longhua Temple, have also come to me. ”

Guan'er's eyes lit up when she heard this, and she asked, "Then Brother Cheng, you showed your might and killed them all, didn't you?"

Cheng Li smiled and said, "That's not true." It's just that they retreated in the face of difficulties, and by the way, they made an agreement to ensure that no sect would be wiped out again. ”

Wan'er was slightly disappointed, nodded and said, "Oh, that's it......" Suddenly had an idea and asked, "Brother Cheng." If...... I said what if. Even the leader of the beggar gang and the flower monk were all killed by you. What do you think would happen to that?"

Cheng Lixiong's body was shocked, and he said in a condensed voice: "Although everyone in the world says that the top ten gangs have long declined compared to the four major forces such as the Golden Dragon Gang, the Eight Dou Tang, the Canghai Yueming Tower, and the Six Desires Heaven. That's not how I see it, though.

The Six Desires have always been mysterious, hidden behind closed doors, and do not operate on the rivers and lakes, while the Golden Dragon Gang has completely started a new business, and has nothing to do with the top ten gangs. These two can be left alone. But Badoutang and Canghai Yueming Mansion are actually part of the Ten Gangs, but the old signboard has been replaced with a new one.

The Copper Money Gang, the Cao Gang, and the Salt Gang, these three are actually in the same situation. They were all assigned by the imperial court to do some work and let them assist in handling it.

The difference is only that the Copper Coin Gang excavates copper ore, and then refines the ore into pure copper and sends it to the imperial court to mint money. The Cao Gang undertook the task of running the grain. The salt gang boiled salt around the sea and then supplied salt to the imperial court.

It can be said that these three families all belong to the identity of half rivers and lakes and half official governments. As long as the imperial court still needs to mint copper coins, transport grain, and sell salt, then these three will never fall.

As for the beggar gang, they are not only the top ten gangs in the rivers and lakes. And for thousands of years, it has been the largest gang in the world. Even if the Golden Dragon Gang robbed him of this title, in fact, the strength of the Beggar Gang has not been weakened much. Whether it is connections or influence, they are all intertwined and spread all over the world. So ......"

Wan'er Yanran said: "If the leader of the beggar gang is killed, the world will definitely be shaken." Perhaps, even the Venerable Masters of the Three Sects of Buddhism, Taoism, and Confucianism, as well as the two holy places of swords, will not be able to sit still and ask about this matter, right?"

Cheng Lijaw said: "There is a great chance, it is indeed like this." ”

Wan'er's eyes lit up, and she said, "Isn't that good?" Brother Cheng, just look at the previous two murders. Those guys who were killed were all just in conflict with Brother Cheng, and then they were killed when they turned around. That's why Brother Cheng, the suspicion on you will get heavier and heavier.

Since this method is so easy to use, the murderer must know the taste of the marrow and use it again and again. It's absolutely impossible to hold back or change your tactics suddenly. ”

Cheng Li's jaw said: "Yes, listening to you say this, it is indeed very possible." But...... In the first two bloody cases, the victims actually didn't directly deal with me. In other words, when they were killed, their strength was basically still intact.

The victim of the Seven Great Sword Sect for the first time, it's okay. Their own cultivation is not too high. As for the people in the second Bixia Yuanjun Temple, they were completely useless except for the large number of people. It is not difficult for the murderer to kill them.

But killing the leader of the beggar gang is a completely different matter. The two stunts of the beggars have been passed down from generation to generation, the dragon and the dog stick method, all of which are famous. Even though Dongfang Yun is young, I believe that most of those two stunts have been cultivated to the extremely profound realm. To say that the murderer can still kill him silently, hehe, I don't believe it first. ”

Guan'er smiled and said, "Brother Cheng, this is a smart life, and he was confused for a while." That murderer doesn't have the ability to kill the leader of the beggar gang, but Brother Cheng, you have it. You go and beat the beggar gang leader half to death first. Then he was persuaded to leave. But after that, the more Brother Cheng thought about it, the more angry he became, and finally couldn't help it, and secretly ran back and quietly killed the leader of the beggar gang.

Afterwards, after the body of the beggar gang leader was examined, it was found that it was Brother Cheng again. So the world shook, what kind of bald donkey in Longhua Temple, the stinky cow nose in Zhenwu Palace, and the sour scholars in Baisha Academy, all of them have to come to settle accounts with Brother Cheng. With such a wonderful show, how could the murderer endure it, but come and watch it with his own eyes?"

Cheng Li laughed and said, "If he doesn't come, it's enough, once he comes, he will have absolutely nothing to hide, and he will be found out by Guan'er on the spot, right?"

Wan'er clapped her hands and smiled: "That's right." That's it. Then again, this murderer was able to kill so many people, which is really powerful. It just so happens that people are still raising demons. This murderer happened to be used as a whetstone for others. Brother Cheng, do you think it's okay?"

Cheng Li reached out and stroked Wan'er's hair, and said with a smile: "It must be possible." Alas, it is only now that I understand Senior Brother Li's intentions. I didn't send you to me so that I could take care of you, but so that you could help me catch the murderer. ”
