Chapter 195: The Dean's Table and the Prince's Armor
Niu Miao died.
The fifth student of the Martial Arts Academy who died within two days, less than half an hour after Fang Xie and they left Niu Huilun's university mansion, the people from the Ouchi Guards took Niu Miao's body away, and the university scholar was paralyzed on the ground with tears all over his face, and he actually fainted several times. He never thought that sending his daughter to the Yanwu Academy would be a point of no return.
Up and down the cow house, gloomy.
Not to mention the identities of the other three students, only Yuan Chengshi and Niu Miao, one is the son of Yuan Chongwu, the governor of Hebei Province, and the other is the beloved daughter of Niu Huilun, a scholar of Wenyuan Pavilion University. The death of these two people is enough to make waves in the great lake of Chang'an City.
The one who came to the University Scholar's Mansion to take away Niu Miao's body was Meng Wudi, the deputy commander of the Ouchi Guards, and Fang Jie's acquaintance. During those days in the secret prison, Meng Wushu was a frequent visitor to Fang Jie's stone room. Although Fang Xie could see the dislike in the other party's eyes, there was no hostility. He knew that because of his own affairs, Meng Wushu was not as good as before in the Great Internal Guard, and of course, the saddest thing was that he also lost an arm.
Meng Wushu did his routine business and returned to the inner guard with Fang Xie and Ma Lilian Qiuyu.
Here, Fang Xie saw four more corpses.
There are also red-eyed, inky things like a raging wolf. Fang Xie didn't think that Mo Wanwu was a qualified professor, but he could see that this incident really made him angry and sad.
"No matter how you look at it, their deaths seem to be inseparable from the incident of Half Moon Mountain."
Hou Wenji squatted beside Niu Miao's corpse and uncovered the white cloth wrapped around her body. A woman's beautiful body is displayed, although it is cold and hard, but the beauty is still there. It's just that this kind of beauty brings people more distress. Such a woman should have a very good tomorrow, and marrying into the prince's mansion is undoubtedly a thing, and she has no worries in this life.
There were no obvious wounds on Niu Miao's body, only two finger prints on his neck that were not too deep. Her expression was still at the moment before she died, and there was no great shock. But this does not mean that the person who killed her is someone she is familiar with, and it also means that the person who did it is extremely fast. Before Niu Miao didn't react at all, she had already crushed her throat bone. She didn't even have time to be surprised when she was robbed of her vivid and delicate life.
"This fierce finger is very strong, and the internal strength is hidden. If he used his internal strength, maybe the wounds on the surface of the corpse would not even be visible. Perhaps this is just to distract us. ”
Hou Wenji got up and walked to the side of another corpse to take a closer look: "The technique is different, it is a sneak attack from behind, a palm shatters the heart, and the internal energy gushes out and pours in from the back, directly crushing this person's heart into a puddle of rotten meat." ”
The third man had no wounds on his body at all, and there were no marks at all. Hou Wenji squatted next to him and watched for a long time, before he couldn't help but sigh lowly: "The person who started the attack is very clear about how to kill with one blow, and it seems that such a secret method can only be found in suspenseful cases." If it were two people who practiced martial arts, there would never be such a way of death. Internal energy poured into the deceased's left ear, directly grinding his brain. So on the surface nothing can be seen, but ......"
Hou Wenji stood up and said: "The murderer is a novice in killing, although he knows a lot of methods of killing people, but his movements are very jerky, and he is obviously not a veteran. ”
He pointed to a small trace of blood in the ear of the third corpse and said, "And this person's control over the power of cultivation is also very good, if he uses it well, he will never bleed." A novice who is familiar with many methods of killing, but is a novice in killing...... And he can't control his own cultivation well, this person is very strange. ”
"It can't be the old monk's hand?"
Mo Wanwu, who was standing on the side, interjected and asked.
"Won't"
Even though Wisdom fled in embarrassment, he still held his identity. He would not do such a thing, if he wanted to kill people and provoke, he would not deliberately hide his cultivation and identity. ”
If it's not wisdom, who else can it be?
"This is the first person to be killed."
Hou Wenji walked to Yuan Chengshi's body, lifted the white cloth covering the corpse and said, "Because he was the first person to be killed, there are a lot of clues that can be found on this corpse. What I just said can basically be seen on this corpse. If nothing else, Yuan Chengshi is the first person the murderer kills in his life. The technique is rough, and he is completely a layman. ”
"Judging from these corpses, the murderer's cultivation is very high, but he can't use it flexibly, especially on Yuan Chengshi's corpse...... Yuan Chengshi is a fifth-grade cultivator, of course, this is just a record left by his report in the Yanwu Academy, and it is estimated that the real cultivation is even higher. But even so, there is too much difference with the murderer. can kill with one blow, but it leaves so many wounds on Yuan Chengshi's body, and there is no need to leave wounds in many places. ”
"At that time, Yuan Chengshi was having sex with a woman in the Crescent Building, according to common sense, this was a time when a man was the least vigilant and the easiest to kill him, and the strength of the murderer far exceeded Yuan Chengshi...... In this case, there was actually a fight, and his first blow only broke Yuan Chengshi's three ribs, which was evidence that he did not control his cultivation power well. The injured Yuan Chengshi could still jump up and resist, and by the way, he grabbed a thin blanket and wrapped it around his body...... It can only be said that this murderer is a powerful idiot. ”
"I even doubt that when killing Yuan Chengshi, the murderer was even more afraid than Yuan Chengshi!"
Hou Wenji walked to the side of the other corpse: "This is the second deceased, obviously, the murderer is a lot more skilled." At the very least, a one-hit kill. Third, fourth, fifth person...... It can only be said that murderers are becoming more and more capable of killing, and such people do not have to look for killers who have become famous in the rivers and lakes. ”
"So it's harder."
Fang Xie couldn't help but say: "I told my husband in the afternoon, even if the murderer swaggers past us now, I don't know that he is the murderer." ”
"When Wisdom escaped that day, he also took a young man with him, who was a Sui man!"
Mo Wanwu suddenly said loudly.
"It won't be him"
Hou Wenji shook his head: "That person doesn't know how to cultivate, and he has already verified that he is indeed a catcher in a small county in the south of the Yangtze River." Even if wisdom takes him as a disciple, half a year...... It is impossible for him to become a first-class master in just half a year. ”
……
……
When Fang Xie and Qiu Yu returned to the Martial Arts Academy, it was already dark. Mo Wanwu seemed to have been trying to explain what the other party had to say, and he wanted to say it several times. Fang Xie knew that Mo Wanwu was apologetic, but he really didn't have a good impression of this person, and deliberately distanced himself from him when he walked.
Ma Lilian has not recovered from her grief, and after returning from Half Moon Mountain, she and Niu Miao, who was originally the opposite, became good friends. Because of this, two people with diametrically opposed personalities are careful not to touch anything that would displease each other. In the past six months, the relationship between the two of them has become extremely good. This time, the martial arts academy was suspended, and the two of them also went back together.
Unexpectedly, they have only been separated for less than two days, and heaven and man are separated forever.
Fang Xie was not a person who was particularly good at comforting girls, so he just walked silently behind Ma Lilian. Qiu Yu held Ma Lilian's hand and whispered a few words of persuasion to make her better. Mo Wanwu was at the forefront, obviously he slowed down a few times just to wait for Fang Xie to come up, but Fang Xie didn't give him a chance at all. Ink is slow, and so is Fang Jie.
Qiu Yu asked Mo Wanwu to send Ma Lilian back first, and she and Fang Xie went directly to Dean Zhou's house. When Fang Xie was outside the door, he couldn't help but look at it, Qiu Yu knew what he was thinking, and said indifferently that he couldn't repair a house in half a year, and you should be a waste in the martial arts academy?
Fang Xie actually hummed very seriously and said, "If I can see the dilapidated house, maybe I will still be able to laugh." ”
Dean Zhou sat in the room with a solemn face, and when he saw Qiu Yu and Fang Xie entering the door, he pointed to the chair not far away and said, "Sit down and talk, stay away from my desk." ”
Fang Xie was stunned and released the clenched fist in his cuffs.
"Since the founding of the Great Sui Dynasty, there has never been a succession of students from the Academy of Martial Arts who have been killed. This is the first time...... The five people who died were all people who had seen the Buddha Sect on Banyue Mountain last time, and I already knew that. ”
Dean Zhou looked at the heat in the teacup and lost his mind.
"Are you regretting it?"
Fang asked.
Dean Zhou glanced at Fang Jie: "What do you regret?" ”
"I regret that I didn't kill the two guys in the Buddha Sect in the first place."
Fang Xie shrugged his shoulders and said, "If it is really a killer under the people of the Buddha Sect, then there is no doubt about it...... You, as well as the Taoist sect's Xiao Zhenren, who is shrinking into the Qingfeng View and pretending to be an uncle, are the culprits. If it weren't for your connivance, would that old bald donkey called wisdom from the Buddha sect be able to escape? ”
"It won't be him who killed people, and it shouldn't be the Sui man who was captured by him."
Dean Zhou didn't seem to be angry, but replied very seriously.
Fang Xie sneered: "Are you sure?" ”
Dean Zhou nodded: "Although I haven't seen the body, the autopsy of the Ouchi Guards is already in my hands." I believe in Hou Wenji's vision, and his judgment will not be wrong. ”
"What you see is not necessarily true, let alone judgment."
Fang Xie got up, looked at Qiu Yu and said, "Sir, I'll go back first, I really can't stand the new smell of the table in this room, I'd better leave before I don't have the impulse to smash it." ”
"If smashing this table can calm you down, it's okay."
Dean Zhou said lightly.
Fang Xie snorted coldly, pursed his lips and said, "I don't care if I want to exchange a broken table?" Even if you are the dean of the Acting Martial Arts Academy, you think too beautifully. ”
He shook his hands and went out, very chic.
Qiu Yu smiled helplessly: "He...... Grievances are hard to settle. ”
Dean Zhou smiled and said, "I'm really old. ”
Qiu Yu was puzzled: "Why did Mr. say that?" ”
Dean Zhou looked at Fang Jie's departing back and said with some emotion: "If I were twenty years younger, even if I was ten years old, how could I have the good temper I have now?" A student who dared to be presumptuous in front of me was beaten half to death by me nine times out of ten. But now I don't even have the desire to do it, am I really old? ”
Qiu Yu was stunned, and said after a moment of silence: "Yes...... I don't think I've been beaten any less, have I? ”
……
……
The next morning, the students of the Performing Arts Academy returned one after another. After counting the number of people, it was found that no more numbers had been added to the list of deaths, and the professors felt a little more at ease. These students are the pillars of the future of the Great Sui, and even if they are not, the death of each of them is a sad loss. There is only one life, and it is especially sad that flowers that die before they bloom.
Just as Fang Xie was about to return to the classroom to go to class, someone suddenly stopped him from a distance.
Fang Xie turned around and found a carriage representing the status of the royal family parked not far away. A middle-aged man with a smile on his face walked towards him, followed by two beautiful women like flowers and jade. This man looked at Svenwen, especially when he laughed, he was very relatable. He has a beard, and he actually holds a folding fan in his hand in the winter.
Wearing a sky blue brocade robe, his steps are very steady. If anyone who is attentive looks at his steps, they will be surprised to find that each of his steps is exactly the same as if he had been measured with a ruler.
"Little Fang-sama"
The man saluted slightly, and then said with a smile: "I am the housekeeper of Prince Yi's mansion, and my name is Qin Liuqi." ”
Seeing that Fang Jie's expression was different, he said gently: "Do you think my name is strange?" The prince once said that everyone has the root nature of laziness, and if you can be diligent for six or seven points, you will be the best. My surname is Qin, so I used the words six or seven points. ”
He beckoned, took a package from the beauty behind him and handed it to Fang Xie and said: "This is a gift that the prince of my family asked me to send specifically for Lord Xiao Fang, these days in Chang'an City is not peaceful, Lord Xiao Fang returned to the martial arts academy There is actually nothing to worry about, but the prince said, be careful to drive the boat smoothly, this set of soft armor made of black gold silk in the Western Regions, invulnerable, water and fire are invulnerable, it was originally worn by the prince, thinking of the events of the past two days, the prince specially instructed me to hurry up and send it to Lord Xiaofang." ”
Fang Xie couldn't help but sigh in his heart, saying in his heart that he couldn't hide from it, he still couldn't hide from it.
