89: Mystery
The three words "Emei faction" came out, and the Bodhisattva Man and Qiu Yeyu were both silent. After a long time, the Bodhisattva Barbarian said in a serious voice: "Theoretically, the Emei faction is indeed very suspicious. However, this is only speculation after all, and there is no substantial evidence. Don't forget the two, the monks of Longhua Temple, who are also very good at sticks. ”
Qiu Yu said: "Not bad. It is not difficult to install a head on top of the stick. Or you can dismantle the head and use it as a short weapon in your hand. So Brother Cheng, don't be impulsive. ”
Cheng Li took a deep breath and nodded, "I understand." All in all, Jian Shi is both the son of Song Guogong and the inner guard. He was seriously injured by a sneak attack, and the investigation of the real murderer should be the responsibility of Song Guogong, Jingzhao Mansion, Xiuchun Building, and the Criminal Department. That's right, isn't it?"
The Bodhisattva bowed his head and said, "This is indeed the truth. Xiao Jianshi is your apprentice of Uncle Longcheng, and he is also a registered disciple of Uncle Shi. So this matter will be taken over by our Xiuchun Building. Cheng Li, don't act rashly. I suspect that this is probably directed at you. If you do it, you're likely to fall for the tricks of the people who are playing behind the scenes. ”
Cheng Li's expression was gloomy, he stomped his foot hard, and said in a condensed voice: "I understand." That being the case, it is useless to stay here any longer. Let's get out of here. ”
The three of them took the brick and debris and left the alley. Bodhisattva Man and Qiu Yeyu want to go back to the Xiuchun Building, and then carefully inspect the fragment. Cheng Li planned to go to the Song Guogong Mansion again to see if Xiao Jianshi had woken up.
However, Cheng Li had just walked to the gate of the Song Guogong Mansion, and before he could enter the door, suddenly, a figure rushed out from the horizon, "plop~" and knelt down in front of Longma's "servant". shouted: "Cheng Shenjun, I finally found you." ”
Cheng Li was stunned, and saw the figure kneeling in front of the horse, which turned out to be a man in his thirties. Although the five are short, they look very shrewd and capable, and they are vaguely familiar, and they should have only seen it recently.
Cheng Li recalled for a moment, then raised his eyebrows and said, "You are ...... Among the two parties of dreams, Wen Zuomengwen's second apprentice, Cai catches the cat?"
The man said happily: "The villain is Cai Qianmao." Cheng Shenjun actually remembered the villain, it was a great honor. ”
Cheng Liqi said: "Cai catches the cat, what do you want to find me?"
Cai chased the cat to restrain his smile and said in a deep voice: "It's not the villain looking for Cheng Shenjun. It's my sister Song Thrush. She sent someone back to help me find me, and asked me to mobilize the children to find Cheng Shenjun. said that something serious had happened in the Yue Guo Mansion. Please Cheng Shenjun hurry up and ......"
"Got it. Thank you for the summons. Next time I'll have a drink with you. ”
Without waiting for Cai to finish speaking, Cheng Li had already turned the horse's head, clamped his legs hard, and urged the horse to gallop away. With a flick of his fingers, he had already disappeared, only the sound of talking remained, and there were still a few points left in Cai Qianmao's ears.
Ryoma's "Taifu" galloped with all his might, and it only took about a quarter of an hour to reach the Yue Guo Mansion. Cheng Li rode his horse into the gate of the mansion, simply turned over and dismounted, and walked straight to the small building in the backyard where Princess Yongjia lived. As soon as I stepped into the backyard, I immediately heard a burst of mourning in the small building.
Cheng Li knew that something major would happen. Immediately broke into the small building and said loudly: "What's the matter? What's wrong?"
In the small building, a group of people gathered, all of whom were women. Luo Yuxia and Song Thrush, disciples of the "Dream Two Parties", are also among them. The rest were the maids of the house. And he who was surrounded by them was a white cloth. Under the cloth is clearly covered with a person. Princess Yongjia lay on the white cloth and cried so much that her liver and intestines were broken.
Hearing Cheng Li's voice, everyone was shocked. Princess Yongjia turned around and stood up, crying with tears in her eyes: "Cheng Lang, Cheng Lang." It's Wan'er! She's ...... She was killed. Then he threw himself into his arms and cried helplessly again. The delicate body trembled, and tears soon wet Cheng Li's clothes.
Cheng Li was taken aback and asked, "Is it your personal maid Wan'er, how could she be killed?"
Princess Yongjia was so sad that she cried breathlessly. For a moment, I couldn't answer. Song Thrush replied in her place: "Cheng Shenjun, this is what happened. At noon, the princess took a nap. When I got up, I was thirsty and wanted to drink lotus seed soup. So I asked Miss Wan'er to go to the kitchen and let the cook do it.
But the princess waited for a long time, and Miss Wan'er never returned. Everyone thought it was strange and went to see it. Unexpectedly, when I entered the kitchen, it turned out that everyone in the kitchen had been killed, and there was not even a single living mouth left. And everyone else was just killed with a single sword. It's just Miss Wan'er...... Alas~"
Song Thrush had an unbearable look on his face, and he didn't say any more, but shook his head slightly.
Cheng Li gently patted Princess Yongjia's back to show comfort. Then he gently pushed Princess Yongjia away and handed it over to Song Thrush to take care of. He walked over and squatted on his knees, reached out and lifted the white cloth, and gasped.
Under the white cloth, Wan'er was disheveled, her body was covered with blue-black bruises, her eyes were still wide open, and there was still a trace of blood oozing from her eye sockets, which had solidified and blackened. Even though she was already cold and stiff, Cheng Li could still clearly feel the pain, resentment, and despair she felt before she died.
What really caused Wan'er to lose her life were the four finger marks that sank deep into her neck. And Wan'er's lower body is a mess. It is clear that she was tortured to death in some of the most humiliating and cruel ways.
Wait, four finger marks?
Cheng Li was slightly stunned, looked at it again, and confirmed that it was not bad at all, there were really only four finger marks, and from the traces, it seemed that the murderer used his left hand to strangle Wan'er's neck, and then killed her. In other words, above the murderer's left hand, there is one less finger than ordinary people.
There is no doubt that this is a major clue. But in the middle of a sea of people, how easy is it to find a person with only four fingers on his left hand?
Cheng Li frowned, suddenly remembered someone, and immediately turned around and asked, "Where is Miss Wen?"
Luo Yuxia said helplessly: "Miss Wen was very angry when she saw that Miss Wan'er was killed, and she was so miserable. So a man ran out to track down the murderer. ”
Cheng Li sighed and said: "A person to track down the murderer? In case of an ambush by the enemy, what should I do? Alas~ She is too reckless." ”
"What's reckless?
If you really say Cao Cao, Cao Cao will arrive. The sound is still not gone. Gentle and gentle have already broken in from the outside. shouted: "Ah, it turned out to be Brother Cheng." You can rest assured. I'm fine. And I've found the murderer. ”
Cheng Li was stunned and asked, "Have you found the murderer?"
Gently scratching her hair, she said, "Actually, I found a man in black with a suspicious appearance. Hmph, sneaky, being a thief with a weak heart, must be the murderer. So I rushed up and had a few fights with him.
This man in black is using ***. It's weird, I've never seen it. However, his weapons are too poor, so he is not my opponent. I cut off his *** with a knife, so he ran away. The light work is very high, and I can't even catch up. I only took this half of *** back. Well, here it is. ”
Between speaking, Gentle and Gentle shook her hand, threw out half of the *** from her sleeve, and "Jingle ~" fell to the floor. As soon as Cheng Li saw this, he blurted out: "This kind of ***...... It's the 'Soul Gun' peculiar to the Kongtong faction! Could it be that person is actually from the Kongtong faction?"
