A corpse hung from the beams of the house, captive and terrifying, and at the same time, a crimson pennant was planted beside it.

King Liang and the others didn't have much fear because of their previous experience, Yan Tu slowly stepped forward and put the woman down slowly.

Her body was almost cold and had been dead for a long time.

Xu Wen looked at the pennant on the beam of the house, couldn't help but wonder, and whispered, "This pennant seems to be a little weird"

Because when they were at the door just now, they saw the same pennant, and this is the second one.

King Liang was also puzzled and nodded.

Xu Wen stepped forward and brushed away the woman's hair, revealing the woman's outline, which looked average, not very outstanding, and there were deep five finger prints on her neck, which was obviously hung on the beam of the house after being strangled to death, which was exactly the same as the death of the shopkeeper, no accident, it should be the same person.

The woman's fists were clenched, and she seemed to be terrified before she died, Xu Wen smoothed his palm, wanting to see if there were any clues, but unfortunately, there was nothing.

He was a little lost, and then he ripped the woman's left shoulder open, trying to see if there was any pattern like the one just now.

Not surprisingly, the woman's left shoulder did have a pattern similar to that of a lone wolf, exactly the same as the previous shopkeeper's pattern, the lone wolf facing the moon, looking up and roaring.

King Liang was a little puzzled and asked, "Could this woman be the shopkeeper's wife?" ”

King Liang was a little unsure, these were just some of his guesses.

Xu Wen's face was solemn, and he looked around the woman on the ground, "It's hard to say, but I think they must have an inexplicable relationship."

Yan Tu didn't speak, and then as if he remembered something, he exclaimed, "Could they be an equal relationship?" For example, belong to the same organization? ”

After he said this, King Liang and Xu Wen were taken aback, King Liang nodded, and Xu Wen said, "Very likely, General Yan Tu, do you say they have anything to do with those people before?" Or are they the same kind of people? ”

Yan Tu's eyes froze, before, he also had this idea, but he didn't say it, he was a little surprised by Xu Wen, and said, "Sir, I also had this idea before, but I can't figure out why they killed the two, so I didn't say much."

King Liang was stunned for a moment, and asked with a smile, "It turns out that the two of them have a plan in their hearts and deliberately hide it from me?" ”

Xu Wen smiled embarrassedly and said busily, "Lord Wang, this matter is full of suspicions, and we are just guessing."

Yan Tu nodded, and said, "Yes, although the death of the shopkeeper and the death of this woman are from the same person, there are many things that cannot be explained, and the woman's origin is unknown, but the shopkeeper is just a small businessman, why did he attract a killer?" ”

Just now they thought that the shopkeeper's death was for money, but now, he vetoed it, because there are also a lot of valuable porcelain in this room, which have not disappeared, and there is not even a trace of movement, Yan Tu believes that this is definitely not an ordinary murder

At this time, Xu Wen also seemed to notice, nodded at the two of them, and wondered, "If it's not for money, then what are they for?" ”

Until this time, Xu Wen and the others still had no eyebrows about the death of the two, and it was difficult to determine whether it was done by a few people just now.

King Liang frowned, and asked Yan Tu again, "General Yan Tu, do you think it is possible that the two of them did it just now?" ”

Yan Tu shook his head, "Just now, I fought with a few people outside the door and learned a lot, although they didn't say it, I estimate that there is a high chance"

Xu Wen frowned, a trace of waves appeared in his heart, he heard Yan Tu say, slowly walked towards the woman lying on the ground, and reached out to touch it from her arms.

King Liang was a little stunned when he saw Xu Wen's actions, and Yan Tu also looked at them in a daze, not knowing why, but they all knew that Xu Wen was a decent gentleman, and although his behavior was a little strange, he still didn't speak, and watched quietly

Xu Wen stood up, also took out a picture scroll from the woman's arms, opened it and saw that it was the same as the one in the shopkeeper's arms, the palm was big, but it was also mutilated.

Xu Wen looked at it carefully, a little surprised, this painting is not only the same material as the previous shopkeeper, but also the painting technique is basically the same, it should be from the same person's hand, but the only difference is that the content on it is different, the ancient wood is twisted and twisted, and the mountains and rivers are undulating.

Xu Wen seemed to sense something, and said to Yan Tu, "General Yan Tu, is that picture scroll just now?" ”

Yan Tu looked at Xu Wen puzzled, reached out and took it out of his arms, and handed it to Xu Wen.

Xu Wen opened it, and then put it on the ground, and at the same time, he also opened the one just now and slowly approached it.

King Liang noticed Xu Wen's movements, walked up, and asked in surprise, "Sir, do you think these two paintings are ......?"

Xu Wen nodded and said, "Lord Wang, these two paintings are clumsy, obviously, they are from the hands of one person, but what makes me very puzzled is that such a painting that is not worth collecting is carried by two people, which is very puzzling."

King Liang was shocked and didn't speak for a long time.

At this time, Xu Wen pieced the two paintings together, and suddenly, a sense of picture emerged.

Above, Cen Luan is stacked with green, two high mountains stand in the clouds, a few mountain eagles are circling, and the water is gurgling below, and a few swans are playing in the water...

At the end, only half of the sky was visible on the left.

Xu Wen was a little stunned, frowned and said, "Is it possible, this painting is still incomplete?" ”

Yan Tu was very shocked and exclaimed, "Although this painting is not a masterpiece, it is also small and large, why is it still incomplete?" It's a shame."

At this time, King Liang showed doubts and exclaimed, "Sir, this painting, could it be that there is no other cave?" ”

Xu Wen looked at King Liang, couldn't calm down for a long time, and nodded.

Yan Tu's eyes widened, and his mouth trembled, "This painting, is it ...... What is hidden? ”

Xu Wen's face was solemn and he nodded heavily

King Liang was amazed, and said, "If this is the case, the death of the two will make sense."

Although I don't know what is hidden in the painting, Xu Wen agrees with what King Liang said: "Now, I think we should investigate these two people carefully, I always feel that this shopkeeper is very unusual, and it seems that there is another identity."

Yan Tu and King Liang's eyes were erratic, and King Liang said, "There are still many people outside, I believe there are many locals, we can let them identify the woman first, and then make a decision"

Yan Tu Xu Wen nodded in agreement, the woman's origin is unknown, if you want to know more, you can only understand him clearly.

Xu Wen stretched out his hand and put away the two fragments on the ground, and handed them to Yan Tu, "General Yan Tu, this painting is very important, it may be related to the mystery in the future, so I will hand it over to you for safekeeping."

Yan Tu didn't refuse, took it and put it in his arms, and then the three of them carried the woman to the door.

At this time, when the people below saw the three people coming out, there was a commotion, some exclaimed, and some abused, but more of them showed a happy look, and the boulder in their hearts fell to the ground.

Yan Tu placed the woman at the door and beckoned downward.

Seeing this, everyone below looked at each other and did not dare to move forward.

At this moment, a bold man stepped forward and walked forward, and the others saw this and walked in groups.
