Chapter Seventy-Four: Returning in Vain
Red...... This fell from Gongsun Li's body, right?
"I don't know."
Lu Yu shook his head and did not tell the truth.
However, his slight hesitation made Di Renjie's eyes flash with an imperceptible gleam.
"As far as I can see, this is probably the trace left by one of the two mysterious people."
Twisting the red leaves in his hand and observing them carefully a few times, Di Renjie entered the state of concentration when he was solving the case.
"Li Bai, you should have fought with them, right?"
When he turned around, he saw Li Bai, who had nothing to do with himself and was taking out a wine gourd to feast, Di Renjie shouted directly: "You are not allowed to drink in my office!" β
With a wry smile helplessly, Li Bai had to reluctantly put down the wine gourd.
"I did fight with them, and as for the red leaves, it seems to be wafting out of a guy's paper umbrella."
"Moreover, the two of them, one is good at using swords, and the other is good at fist techniques and can read qi."
Li Bai recalled the scene of fighting with the two last night and replied.
"If you make good use of the sword, you can put it aside, this is good at making the fist ......"
Di Renjie pondered for a while, and then the thoughts in his mind gradually became clearer.
"Lu Yu, do you remember the Liuhe Boxing Gym where I suggested you go to the beginning?"
......
Liuhe Boxing Gym.
"You're looking for a tiger? But now he's gone......"
As soon as he opened the door, he saw Di Renjie, the magistrate of Chang'an, Li Bai, the first swordsman in Chang'an, and the boy who broke the undefeated record of the tiger before.
Except for Li Yuanfang, because he is too short and looks harmless and cute, he can make people relax their vigilance, and the other three people are not easy to mess with......
"Not there? It seems that this Liuhe Boxing Gym is going to be searched to the bottom. β
Saying the most ruthless words in the most calm tone, Di Renjie didn't care about Lao Wang's embarrassed face.
"Yo, Sheriff Di, why do you have time to visit my gym?"
The familiar crimson figure walked out from the depths of the gym, and Pei Baohu was still holding a book in his hand.
"Ahem, Master Di, I have a stomachache, go find a toilet first."
Seeing Pei Baohu coming towards him, Lu Yu covered his stomach and rushed out of the door.
Frowning, Di Renjie shifted his attention back to the boxer who came over.
"Don't be close to me, you're the boxer here, right? Where did you go last night, tell me where you are. β
took the black pen and white paper from Li Yuanfang, Di Renjie didn't say a word, and stuffed it into Pei Baohu's hand. "But I didn't do anything, why should I tell you my whereabouts? Even if it's a sheriff, you have to come up with some evidence before you interrogate me, right? β
Pei Baohu glared and said a little unconvinced.
"Evidence? Take a look at this. β
Taking out the previous red leaves, Di Renjie caught Pei Baohu's eyes that suddenly became a little at a loss.
"Well, looking at you, you seem to know this."
"I ...... I don't know anything. β
Watching Pei Baohu step towards the trap he set little by little, a smile rose on the corner of Di Renjie's mouth.
"Since you want to prove yourself, then tell me obediently what you did last night."
"Last night, I went to sleep last night."
Pei Baohu scratched his hair and said innocently.
"Sleep? I've heard this reason from the mouths of those criminals, so let's change it. β
"That'...... I'm going to study, do you think that's going to happen?"
After that, Pei Baohu also shook the book in his hand in front of Di Renjie's eyes.
"Chang'an Recipe...... When you say learning, is that what you mean? β
With a puzzled look, Di Renjie felt as if he had been tricked.
"Yes, if you want to become strong, you must first master knowledge."
Pei Baohu said as a matter of course.
"Hahaha, little Didi, it seems that this brother and you don't seem to be on the same channel......"
Looking at Di Renjie's face full of black lines, Li Bai couldn't help but smile.
However, after laughing, Li Bai's eyes became sharp.
"I heard that you are the strongest boxer here, I wonder, can you have a fight?"
If it was really that he had fought with him last night, then as long as he made a move, Li Bai would be able to recognize it thoroughly.
"Wow, Lord Li Bai, you are the strongest person in the empire, and I am just an ordinary Fang City boxer, how can I have the strength to compete with you."
Pei Baohu waved his hand to refuse, he was not Li Bai's opponent in the first place, not to mention that as long as he made a move, he would be directly exposed.
Although Pei Baohu is a little naΓ―ve, he is not a fool, since Di Renjie and Li Bai came to the door, they must hide their identities.
"What's your name?"
"I'm called a tiger."
"Age?"
"Unmarried."
......
Many situations were cross-examined, but Pei deftly avoided all the crucial questions.
And when it gave Di Renjie a headache, he didn't know whether the seemingly honest person in front of him was wise and foolish, or really a fool.
Let's call him naΓ―ve, he avoided all problems again; Let's say he's smart, he's really like a fool, and he can pull out topics that can't be touched by eight poles.
Since there is no evidence that can really charge the crime, it is not easy for Di Renjie to do anything to Pei Baohu.
In the end, it can only be fruitless.
However, before leaving, Di Renjie looked at Pei Baohu's smug smile and said coldly.
"I'll keep an eye on you, always."
made Pei Baohu shudder a little, but he still didn't expose it for the time being, so he didn't back down.
"Wow, that's a temptation on the verge of breaking the law."
When Di Renjie and the three were sent away, Pei Baohu also returned to the depths of the gym.
Have you been exposed?
Sure enough, Li Bai's sudden addition made the turn of things tricky.
"Hopefully, the leader's hexagram is correct."
......
"Lu Yu, what's the matter with you?"
Out of the Liuhe Boxing Gym, as soon as he saw Lu Yu waiting outside the door, Di Renjie walked quickly without a good face.
This is already the second time he has dropped the chain.
"I ...... I had diarrhea just now, oops, it's really uncomfortable. β
Lu Yu covered his stomach and looked like he had angina, this kind of acting can be said to be very realistic.
"Come less, even if I ask you to help me, you don't need to be so negative, right? And I promised you that I would help you investigate the mysterious alchemist. β
At this time, Di Renjie still didn't know about the existence of Yaotian and Ming Shiyin, and he only thought that the matter he was investigating was completely different from Lu Yu.
Bringing in Lu Yu and Li Bai to help was also out of an ominous premonition of the turbulent waves hidden in the dark.
