The door to the whale gang's storehouse was opened, and the corpse of an NPC was lifted out and placed neatly on the ground.

Lord Lin squatted down and carefully examined the various wounds on the corpse.

He is not a person who likes to talk a lot, but every time he speaks, Qi Lingfeng can't refute the conclusion: "The epidermal wound is thin and shallow, it is injured by a thin sharp weapon, and the murder weapon is a sword!" ”

The servant next to him buried his head in the record, and the pen waved quickly on the paper.

"After the sword pierces the human body, it is a superficial wound, the wounds are many and fine, the murderer's sword path is dense, and he takes a light and simple route, although the sword path is light, but the means are cruel, and the fatal injuries are all vital points such as the throat, heart, and artery, and the overall characteristics of the murderer's swordsmanship are light and vicious, and the weapon used is a short sword of two to three feet......"

Qi Lingfeng's heart sank completely, Lord Lin's conclusion didn't sound like anything to others, but it was undoubtedly fatal to Qi Lingfeng's ears, because it made it clear that the murderer's swordsmanship was the swordsmanship of the Hainan Sword School.

Qi Lingfeng said coldly: "My lord, I hope you will examine it in detail and don't jump to conclusions. ”

Lord Lin didn't answer this time, but a catcher next to him said sharply: "Lord Lin is a famous arrester in Baiyun City, responsible for a total of 206 large and small cases, and there has not been a single mistake. ”

Qi Lingfeng stopped talking, because he had nothing to say now.

Lord Lin stood up and glanced at Qi Lingfeng again, and then said slowly: "The Giant Whale Gang is a maritime sect ordered by the Holy Lord, and it pays tribute to the imperial court every year. ”

This doesn't need him to say that Qi Lingfeng also knows that the Giant Whale Gang can be regarded as a big faction in Qiongzhou District, this sect is not because there are many people or talents, but because the shipbuilding skills of the Giant Whale Gang are very good, and the South China Sea is rich in gold sand, and the imperial court assigned to rent the big ships of the Giant Whale Gang for transportation, which is much faster than ordinary ships, so the Giant Whale Gang has a very high status in Qiongzhou District, after all, it has an official background, ranking behind the Hainan Sword Sect and the Golden Palace Family.

Lord Lin continued: "I heard that the Hainan Sword Sect has also been involved in transporting maritime gold mines in the past six months, and has had many conflicts with the Giant Whale Gang. ”

Qi Lingfeng was still speechless, because the time he had arrived was too short, and he had not yet straightened out the relationship between the various sects, but Lord Lin's words undoubtedly pointed to the fact that this case was related to the Hainan Sword Sect.

A catcher stepped forward and handed over a scroll of paper, Lord Lin nodded while looking at it: "That's right, half an hour ago, you were having dinner at the end of the world, with the people of the Golden Palace family, you represented the Hainan Sword Sect to negotiate peace with the other party, and then you suddenly left and trespassed into the Yamen Court, and finally you appeared here, what else do you want to say now?" ”

Qi Lingfeng let out a long sigh: "I have nothing to say. ”

He really had nothing to say, even if he wasn't the murderer, but now he was at least five points suspicious.

Arrest and handle cases, don't say that you are five points suspicious, even if there is only one point, they will not let you go.

Lord Lin said lightly: "If you want to prove your innocence, it's best to go back to the yamen with me, if you are the real murderer, you must go to the yamen on this trip." ”

His tone was understated, but the words he said were extremely dangerous, but Qi Lingfeng couldn't leave yet, because this move was undoubtedly an indirect admission that he had a ghost in his heart, and the subsequent troubles would be endless.

He can now be sure that behind this series of events, there is a black hand behind the scenes.

"The ...... behind the scenes" Qi Lingfeng seemed to have an understanding, and suddenly remembered a person, he couldn't help but smile bitterly, if the black hand brother was here, he would not have any chance of winning at all.

That's all he can figure out, but there are a lot of things he can't figure out, tonight's thing doesn't look like the people of Jinghualou are playing ghosts, there is a mysterious connection between the murderer of Brother Tu and this warehouse murder case, on the surface, it seems that the people who killed the Giant Whale Gang, stole the goods, and blamed the Hainan Sword Sect.

Of course, things will never be as simple as they seem on the surface, because the method of blaming the blame cannot stand the test of time, and if the mastermind behind the scenes wants to deal with the Hainan Sword Sect, it will be too underestimated to use this method, so there must be a deep meaning in this.

It's just that this kind of deep meaning can't be seen in a while, and everything can only be said when it comes out of the yamen.

Qi Lingfeng believed that since this Lord Lin was a famous arrester, he would definitely not wronged himself.

His calculation was correct, and less than an hour after he returned to the yamen with the fast capture team, Lord Lin announced that he could go, and everything had nothing to do with him.

The reason for letting him go is simple, because the testimony of many passers-by in the downtown area proves his innocence.

It's just that after returning to the Hainan Sword Sect, he was stunned.

In the hall of the guest house, the Tianji Daoist was reasoning with a group of people, seemingly arguing about something, and the group of people quickly left angrily.

"Dao Chief! What happened? Qi Lingfeng asked.

Tianji Dao's face was worried: "You know what happened tonight?" ”

Qi Lingfeng nodded and said, "Who are those people just now?" ”

The Heavenly Machine Daoist sighed: "It's the Giant Whale Gang, and now it's time to come to the door to ask for an explanation." ”

Qi Lingfeng couldn't help but say, "The facts have proven that our Hainan Sword Sect has nothing to do with tonight's murder. ”

Tianji Daodao: "Do you think they don't know? In fact, they also know in their hearts that the murder in the suburban treasury has nothing to do with you and us. ”

Qi Lingfeng was stunned: "Then why ......?"

The Heavenly Machine Daoist waved his hand and stopped him: "This is just their excuse to play." ”

"Excuse the question?" Qi Lingfeng hesitated, "What do you mean......"

Tianji Daoren sighed: "Yes, our Hainan Sword Sect has indeed participated in the shipping industry in the past six months. ”

Qi Lingfeng quickly understood, the three major factions in Qiongzhou have always been a cooperative relationship, the giant whale gang has developed shipbuilding skills, and there are many masters in the gang, so the sea voyage is not afraid of strong winds and waves; And the Golden Palace family provides the necessary materials for shipbuilding and navigation, and the Giant Whale Gang relies on the Golden Palace family for this; However, there are not only storms and waves in the sea voyage, but also sometimes encounters Japanese pirates and pirates, and the two families have to rely on the swordsmanship masters of the Hainan Sword School to escort them.

These are the foundation of the survival and development of the three major factions, to put it bluntly, the three families all rely on mutual cooperation to survive.

It's just that this balance will inevitably be broken by the development law of "Dynasty", the reason is very simple, because as time goes by, players grow rapidly and gradually become stronger, and the players of the Hainan Sword Sect can also build relatively strong ships to go to sea, so that the business of the Giant Whale Gang has been impacted.

The two sides are already dissatisfied with each other, this contradiction will become deeper and deeper, and now that the treasury of the Giant Whale Gang has been stolen and the gang has been killed, even if they know that it was not the Hainan Sword Sect that did it, they just took this opportunity to ask for conditions.

"What did they say?" Qi Lingfeng asked.

"They demanded that we hand over the murderer and the stolen goods. ”

Qi Lingfeng sneered: "We can't hand it over, because this matter was not done by us at all." ”

Tianji Daoist said: "If we can't hand it over at noon the day after tomorrow, they will ask us to compensate them for the three big ships, and this account will be settled." ”

Qi Lingfeng said: "Dao Chief, what do you think of this matter?" ”

Tianji Daoren frowned: "We only have five of the kind of big ships that can sail, and the ship itself is not important. ”

Qi Lingfeng said: "What does the Dao Chief think is important?" ”

Tianji Daodao: "In the morning of the Great Outer Heaven, the gold sand mine on Nansha Island needs thirty-five large ships to transport goods, and the leasing party is the imperial court, and the Giant Whale Gang now has twenty big ships, which will set off at noon the day after tomorrow." ”

Qi Lingfeng understood, if the Hainan Sword Sect lost three ships, its own transportation capacity would be greatly reduced, to be precise, the connection between the Hainan Sword Sect and the imperial court would be greatly weakened.

The ship itself is really not important, what matters is this connection with the government, as well as the influence in the government, and doing business with the imperial court forces, it is difficult for you not to get rich.

If the ship really loses its money, it will undoubtedly cut off a large way of its wealth, and this kind of obvious thing will not be done by smart people.

Qi Lingfeng arched his hand and said, "Dao Chief, can I understand it like this?" Our Hainan Sword Sect, the Golden Palace Family, and the Giant Whale Gang are like a three-legged tripod, faintly forming an invisible balance, but this balance will be broken sooner or later by the law of development? ”

"Exactly!" The Heavenly Machine Dao man clapped his palm.

Qi Lingfeng continued, "Now there is someone who wants to speed up the disruption of this balance in order to gain his advantage. ”

Tianji Dao said: "Seven young means...... Looking at the end of the world, the murderer who assassinated and dragged us and the murderer who blamed us are the same wave of people? ”

Qi Lingfeng didn't answer directly, but asked rhetorically: "The current situation has been formed, which of the three of us is the most beneficial?" ”

The Heavenly Machine Daoist was stunned, and soon he reacted: "It's the Golden Palace family!" ”

"That's right!" Qi Lingfeng nodded affirmatively, "Whether we pay the Giant Whale Gang or the Giant Whale Gang compensates us, the ultimate beneficiary is always the Golden Palace family, because the raw materials are supplied by them, they can choose to join forces with us, or they can choose to join forces with the Giant Whale Gang, but no matter who they join forces with, the situation of the remaining family is quite unfavorable." ”

"Yes!" Tianji Dao people have to admire Qi Lingfeng, this young man is objective and calm, quick thinking, and he penetrates the core problem at a glance, that is, the conflict of interests.

Qi Lingfeng said: "But the person who assassinated the young master and blamed us was definitely not the Golden Palace family. ”

Tianji Daoist hesitated and said, "Qi Shao means that the forces of Jinghualou are secretly making trouble?" ”

Qi Lingfeng said: "And I can be sure of one thing now, all these conspiracies and tricks are all caused by Jinghualou's military conquest." ”

The pupils of the Heavenly Machine Daoist suddenly contracted: "The one who stepped on the eighteenth company battalion to conquer everything by force? Brother Force? ”

Qi Lingfeng's eyes flashed: "It's him." ”

Tianji Daoist let out a long breath: "If it is really him, it shouldn't be here to deal with us, otherwise, the Golden Palace Family will not negotiate with us, you must know that the drag was attacked by the end of the world, so doesn't it make it clear that the Golden Palace Family can't get rid of the suspicion of the mastermind?" ”

"You're wrong!" Qi Lingfeng became expressionless, "He's here to deal with us." ”

The Heavenly Machine Daoist lost his voice and said, "Why? ”
