On a winter night, the wind is cold, and the moon is waving brightly.

In the dark night, Lin Wei was holding a sword in one hand, covered in snow dirt, and when he landed, he staggered a little and ran towards the Buji Inn.

As soon as the three of them returned to the door of the Buji Inn, Li Mo frowned as soon as he heard the voice behind him and turned around.

With a sharp step under his feet, the person had already swept out, and when he landed, he grabbed his hand and supported Lin Weixiao's guard, who almost fell.

Lin Wei's little guard looked up and saw that it was Li Moyi, and called in a low voice, as if he had seen a savior, and his breath was finally relieved, and his body staggered and fell.

"Adam, buddy!"

"Brother, what's wrong with him?"

Yi Xian and Yue'er exhaled hurriedly, and ran over quickly in a few steps.

Li Mo looked at the injuries on Lin Wei's little guard, and frowned, "What's the matter?" Didn't you go to Chunliu Pavilion to investigate the scene? ”

Lin Wei's little guard turned pale, and it seemed that it was difficult to speak, "Someone is ambushing ......", and he fainted after speaking.

Li Mo's heart was cold, the murderer stayed at the scene and didn't leave, this Lin Wei's little guard was ambushed, and after greeting, he and Yi Xian helped Lin Wei together, and went straight to the medical hall on the street.

........

"Doctor!"

As Li Mo shouted one by one, several people in the medical hall were awakened and rushed out one after another.

Yi Xian and Yue'er looked at the few people who suddenly appeared in the courtyard, and repeated Li Moyi's words together.

Soon, several doctors led people into the house, and after some diagnosis and treatment, they said to Li Mo and the others: "Don't worry, this little brother is fine." ”

Everyone let out a long sigh and just waited for Lin Wei's little guard to wake up.

Lin Wei's injury is indeed not serious, and his face has recovered a lot after drinking the medicine, but his body is not strong in the first place, so he has been in a coma.

Li Moyi also handled a case with this Lin Weixiao guard a few days ago, and was recognized by him as a big brother, he came to him as soon as he was in trouble, obviously because he trusted his strength to the extreme, and he would be able to save him.

Li Mo was half lying on the chair and looked at Lin Wei, as if he was thinking about something.

Yi Xian on the side walked over at this time and whispered to Li Moyi: "Brother Li, I seem to know what is going on in this case." The wound on that buddy's body is an exclusive hand knife that only the guards will match........"

The guards' knives are smaller, usually less than half a foot. The handle is short and thick, and the back of the knife is engraved with a cloud pattern. The front is slotted, and there are parallel thin lines of equal length on the top and bottom to decorate the blade. And the wound cut by this exclusive hand knife is also unique, and those who have seen it can see it at a glance.

looked at the little guard Lin Wei who was lying down, and then looked at Yi Xian, Li Mo answered, "The little guard Lin Wei also said just now, someone is in ambush." ”

Yi Xian's heart was churning at the moment, the knife wound on Lin Wei's little guard was indeed caused by the exclusive hand knife, and the matter of Chunliu Pavilion, he felt that he had nothing to do with a certain guard.

Li Mo landed on Yi Xian's shoulder with one hand, and his tone was flat, "Yi Xian, the extinction of the Zeng family in Suzhou was huge, and you have heard of one or two, but do you know the specific details?" ”

Yi Xian was a little surprised, this was a rare time for Li Moyi to speak to him so calmly.

"Okay, I'll investigate this early tomorrow morning."

After saying that, Li Mo greeted the two of them a few words, and then accompanied them back to the Buji Inn to rest.

........

........

Lin Wei understood it before, knowing that Li Moyi decided to conduct an autopsy overnight, and he would definitely go to the scene of the crime after the examination, so he went to Chunliu Pavilion for this eldest brother first, and he came up with this kind of thing.

.........

Li Mo lay on the couch, pinched the jade pendant around his neck, looked at the winter moon in the sky, and fell into deep thought.

Judging by a few clues that we know so far.

First, this big move Xu Yu will go to Chunliu Pavilion once a day. Li Mo guessed that Xu Yu should have been planted with cicadas there.

Second, this cicada insect is endless, so the person who killed the cicada insect doesn't want Xu Yu to return to the west so quickly, so there is someone else who is really the culprit.

Third, Shi Wantian, who opened the Tianshitang Martial Arts Gym, is said to have a high prestige among the people and is a righteous person, and this Void Needle is a deadly secret weapon........

Although he was not very familiar with Shi Wantian, Li Moyi was somewhat convinced that this matter had nothing to do with Shi Wantian.

There are many arrogant people who practice martial arts, and this person is young and has a lot of affairs on weekdays, so it is really unconvincing to say that he has a holiday with a person in a small place thousands of miles away.

Therefore, this case should have nothing to do with Shi Wantian.

If Shi Wantian is not the real murderer, then there is only one possibility, Shi Wantian's Void Needle....... It was stolen, and this thief was most likely someone from inside the Heavenly Stone Hall.

Thinking of this, Li Mo turned over, yawned, poked the lamp that was blown crooked by the cold wind, and figured out some clues, and was a little stunned.

This case is obviously much more difficult than the previous ones, and there are a few more people involved, so I can't help but spend a little more effort to solve the case.

Li Moyi put the few books he bought on the table, and said in his heart that he had to wait for the case to be closed, and the storytelling work would be put aside for the time being, as a special case guard in a town, such a big case that happened in Anqiu Town, he naturally had to find a way to solve the case, besides, the reward for solving such a big case must be a lot.

The corners of Li Mo's mouth twitched, when he was encouraged, no matter what, this case had to continue to be investigated in detail.

........

When it was light, there was a knock on the door. It was a guard at the governor's residence, saying that the case file of the Zeng family in Suzhou more than ten years ago had been retrieved.

Li Mo jumped up from the couch one by one and rubbed his face.

A few steps to the door of Yi Xianfang, he shouted inside, "....... Come to live....... Hurry up........ By the way, Yue'er observed carefully yesterday, maybe she could help and call her too. As he spoke, he put on his clothes, walked out of the door of the inn, and rushed to the governor's mansion crookedly.

Yi Xian sighed, slowly sorted out his clothes, woke Yue'er up, and then went out of the house.

.........

Docket room.

The three of them carefully flipped through all the case files of the Suzhou Zeng family murder case, and found that there were many suspicious points, and some of the contents of the case file were added later, and the original ones were torn out.

Song Dabai paced back and forth, looking a little anxious. injured Lin Weixiao's guard's blade, Li Mo said that it was the guard's exclusive hand knife, but no matter how stupid the murderer is, he won't use a blade with such obvious characteristics to kill people, right?

Li Moyi was also thinking about this question. Exclusive hand knives are similar everywhere, and it is not uncommon, and the guards in each governor's mansion wear this knife. If you want to check, it's like looking for a needle in a haystack.

After flipping through the case file, Li Moyi finally learned some details.

Li Mo had a calm face, looked at the few lines of text on the case file, and fell into deep thought.

At that time, the Zeng family was a famous nobleman in Suzhou.

Suzhou Zengjia ......

According to records, the only person who survived the Zeng family's murder case was Zeng Buyan, the second daughter of the family.

And according to the newly added lines of text on the case file, that ....... Zeng Wuyan passed away three years ago.

Li Moyi had many doubts in his heart. In the case file, Zeng Buyan was seriously injured and sought medical treatment everywhere, but the doctor said that he had no skills to return to heaven and had to leave. Later, her tomb was found near a hill.......

The few newly added lines of text are really sloppy, and there is no cause and effect, and people who read it are confused.

Yi Xian was also stunned after seeing it, his brows were deeply locked, he thought for a while, and hesitated: "Is it difficult, Zeng Buyan is not dead....... Is this case really her here to seek revenge? ”

Li Mo thought for a long time and shook his head: "It's unlikely, if this record is good, that person is seriously injured and has no skills to return to heaven, and he also said that the doctor and half an immortal can't save her, and there may be no one in this world who can save her." Even if she didn't die, it would be difficult for her to have the strength to seek revenge. ”

Yi Xian sighed and was speechless for a while.

Immediately, Li Moyi and Yi Xian glanced at each other, and both of them had only one idea. The records in this case file are almost worthless, and the only thing that can be determined is that the affairs of the Zeng family in Suzhou back then were indeed a bit boring.

After thinking about it, Li Mo turned around and asked Song Dabai, "Xu Yu raised people before last night, where else did he go besides Chunliu Pavilion?" ”

Song Dabai frowned, and thought about it: "Xu Yu raised people ......." Suddenly, he raised his head and exclaimed: "It's Jun Lailou!" ”

"Junlailou?"

Li Mo was stunned.

Yesterday, he was almost in the teahouse on the first floor of Junlai Building all day. There are a lot of people, and I don't care too much about the guests.

Anqiu Town is a place where trade must pass, and there are many guests, and Junlailou is the first restaurant in Anqiu Town, and the guests in the store come from all over the world. Among them, there are naturally people from the southwest, and the people of the southwest have raised cicadas for generations.

But there is a little doubt, the southwest is still thousands of miles away from Anqiu Town, and they don't know this Xu Yu Daju people, they have no festivals, and they have come here thousands of miles just for the next cicada?

Li Moyi couldn't figure it out, why did they make a big move on Xu Yu?

Maybe...... Was it instigated?

Li Moyi opened the case file of Chunliu Pavilion again, and his brows couldn't help but lock deeply.

I saw that on the case file, there was a place that recorded: On November 13, Xu Yu and Fang Zhuang entered the Junlai Building and left after a while...... Ding Zhuang came out of the building after he left about half a pillar of incense.

Li Moyi pointed to the case file and asked Song Dabai, "Who is Fang Zhuang?" ”

Song Dabai said indifferently: "Fang Zhuang, he is another big man in our Anqiu Town, and he often negotiates with Xu Yu. On the night Xu Yu was killed, Fang Zhuang was the only person who was with him, and now that Fang Zhuang was injured and temporarily protected by me in the mansion. ”

Li Mo nodded, thinking that he could interrogate this Fang Zhuang later, and after reading this, he opened his mouth again, "What about this Ding Zhuang?" ”

Song Dabai looked puzzled, and responded: "The little master of Baili Village, what's wrong?" ”

"Baili Village....... Village Officials ......."

Li Moyi sneered and shook his head.

In the case of Widow Zhao a few days ago, he had just been to Baili Village, but it was a coincidence that this case was also somewhat related to that place.

This Ding Zhuang ....... In this way, Ding Zhuang is the village official of the entire Baili Village.

Li Mo turned the page back, pointed to the record on it, and said, "On the night of Xu Yu's accident, Ding Zhuang also had a record of entering and leaving the Chunliu Pavilion. Brother Song, did you miss such details? ”

Song Dabai snorted coldly, "Of course not." ”

Song Dabai naturally didn't miss this, after the incident, he had already sent someone to keep an eye on Ding Zhuang, but this person was the same as usual, there was nothing suspicious, not to mention that he was a village official, and he was the most powerful existence in Baili Village, and if he wanted to move him, there must be evidence.

Song Dabai had also thought about arresting and interrogating this person before, but he was afraid of startling the snake, and his father, Governor Song, only said that he would investigate the case, and if he needed to arrest the suspect, he had to report to him first.

Li Mo waved his hand and said with a smile: "Now you don't have to care about Shi Wantian, I can be sure that this matter is related to Ding Zhuang." ”

Yi Xian on the side condensed his eyebrows and said in a deep voice: "Don't worry, Lin Wei's little guard is still in a coma now, and he has to confirm this matter himself, otherwise there is still no substantial evidence for our statement when it comes to Governor Song." ”

As a few people were talking, they heard footsteps outside the door, and when they looked back, they saw Lin Wei being helped into the door by another guard.

Lin Wei's little guard slowed down and told everyone about last night's events.

It turned out that he was ordered by Song Dabai to go to Chunliu Pavilion first, and on the way back, he wanted to go to the east market to buy some food, but was blocked by a few black-clothed people. The sabers of those men were the exclusive swords of the guards, and one of them had a bruise on his right hand.

Lin Wei's little guard sighed, "I've seen that person, it's a personal guard of Dingzhuang, a village official in Baili Village. ”

Li Mo was puzzled, "Have you seen that person?" ”

Lin Wei's little guard nodded, "I have indeed seen it." I saw it in Dingzhuang's mansion at the beginning, and this person's kung fu path was strange, so I remembered it. Ding Zhuang inadvertently mentioned that the person was the guard he had hired at a great price. ”

At this time, Li Moyi and Yi Xian were stunned, and Song Dabai was even more confused.

If this person is Ding Zhuang's personal guard, since he wants to kill his mouth, why does he do it so obviously? Something was wrong with this from the start, could it be that there were other people behind it who were controlling all this?

Li Mo thought for a while, "Let's go, go and meet the Fang Qiangju who accompanied Xu Yu that night." ”

Song Dabai had this intention, Xu Yu went to the Chunliu Pavilion with Fang Zhuang as usual that night, Xu Yu was killed, and Fang Zhuang was also injured, plus he was not lightly frightened, and Fang Zhuang, who was weak, might not be alive in a few days.

The five of them had just left the gate of the governor's mansion when they saw a guard rushing over and whispering a few words in Song Dabai's ear.

Song Dabai's face immediately sank, and he said to Li Moyi and Yi Xian, "Fang Zhuang....... Just swallowed. ”

“....... What a coincidence. ”

After that, Li Mo frowned, his eyes shrank, and he shook his head silently.

Yi Xian sighed secretly, this case is really involved, and it is really dangerous to get involved in it.

Li Mo landed on Song Dabai's shoulder with one hand, and said with a smile: "I have already helped you find a breakthrough point in this case, and the remaining matter of finding evidence is your young governor's business, I'm hungry, let's eat something." ”

After speaking, Li Mo shook a guard jade plate on his waist and walked towards the street, followed by Yi Xian and Yue'er.

Song Dabai looked back at Lin Wei's little guard, and said lightly: "Go, Fang Zhuang is gone, the rest is to investigate the matter of Ding Zhuang, Li Mo can't help us." ”

Lin Wei's little guard was aware and hurriedly entered the door.

.........

........

"Anqiu Town, a place where outstanding people are really immortals."

Li Moyi muttered as he walked forward. Except for the murderers in a few cases, the comparison between the others and the big place in Dexin County is really much simpler, and he wants to come to Li Yuanfeng to travel around, but he has only settled down in this Anqiu Town, so he should have the same idea as him.

All in all, outsiders can't tell.

........

........

Song Dabai was thinking in his heart at this time, and ordered Lin Wei's little guard to leave, and after thinking about it carefully, he was depressed, and returned to his room.

The huge room was empty, and the bright yellow vessels seemed to be covered with a layer of solemnity.

I don't know when the cold wind blew, and the whistling wind sounded in bursts, and suddenly it was far away. The burning ambergris incense has been extinguished, leaving only a long lamp that glows faintly.

The wind is like a complaint, and it is eagerly whistling.

After a gust of wind, Song Dabai felt a little cold on his body, and when his hand was spread out, he saw that his palm was already in a cold sweat.

.........

........

The liveliness of Anqiu Town is not like other places, such at noon, even if the cold wind blows, it is still full of pedestrians. The wind passed, and the air was a little cooler, and from time to time the wind blew, with a hint of fireworks.

The breeze is fleeting, and life is only ordinary.

Li Mo smiled one by one, and even his eyebrows were inexplicably hooked upward.

He bit the meatballs on the bamboo skewer with a satisfied expression.

Yi Xian and Yue'er followed behind him, and when they looked up, they saw him with his eyes slightly closed, eating heartily.

There are a lot of merchants on a street, although the food stalls account for the majority, but there are others, physiognomy and word measurement, performing tricks along the street, pinching candy people, selling jewelry pendants, everything. There are also ready-to-wear pawnshops, bookstalls, and books.......

Yue'er looked all the way and saw that a small stall in front of her was full of people, Li Moyi had already walked forward, and Yi Xian and Yue'er had to follow.

When she got closer, Yue'er began to regret why she didn't go far from that place, it was clearly a stinky tofu stall.

Seeing that Li Moyi was still squeezing in with excitement, Yue'er frowned, stepped forward and pulled Li Moyi's sleeve out, "Brother, let's go eat something else, there is a dumpling stall over there." ”

Li Mo laughed, "This stinky tofu smells stinky, how can you eat it....... But it's ....... You can try. ”

Seeing that he was standing still and didn't move, Yue'er thought that his brother was really going to buy it.

"Brother Li, this thing stinks so much, why is it delicious, let's change homes." Yi Xian saw that the two were arguing, so he had to open his mouth.

Yue'er's face turned a little blue, gritted her teeth and said, "Brother, I won't eat, and besides, you are not allowed to go to my side after eating!" ”

Li Mo looked at Yue'er, his eyes straightened with a smile, and he saw that Yi Xian's face on the side was getting darker and darker, so he smiled, grabbed the shoulders of the two of them and said, "You two, for a piece of stinky tofu, just target me like this together?" What's the matter, can't you eat a piece of stinky tofu? ”

Yi Xian looked at the sky, "It's too smelly and smelly, is this what people eat." After saying that, he flicked his sleeves, turned around and left.

Li Moyi didn't expect Yi Xian and Yue'er to dislike stinky tofu so much, so he couldn't help but smile and chased after him in a few steps, and approached the two of them to say something in their ears, so that Yi Xian and Yue'er's faces were as black as coke.
