Mo Tong then said to Lin Xiao, with a look of doubt in his eyes, his younger brother killed his brother, and then inherited the position of the city lord, this is his motive for killing, now in this world, for his own interests, he will do anything, and it is not uncommon to kill his own brother.

"And then you suspect that the old city lord was killed by his brother? Who is the old city lord again? ”

Lin Xiao also felt that his younger brother killed his brother in order to sit in the position of the city lord, which was more likely, but there was no conclusive evidence, so he couldn't make such an early conclusion, he still wanted to understand the situation and do one or two more.

"The elder is the uncle of the old city lord, and the elder and the new city lord have always been at odds."

Mo Tong continued, telling everything he had heard, and asked Lin Xiao to analyze and analyze it.

"Oh? The elders and the new city lord are at odds? What's going on? ”

If the relationship between the elder and the new city lord is not very good, it means that the person the elder doesn't like is the new city lord, so it is unlikely that it was the elder who killed the old city lord, but the new city lord has all the motives to kill.

"When the old city lord hadn't died yet, the elder and the new city lord didn't dare to be presumptuous, but as soon as the old city lord left, the two of them completely broke up, and they had the posture of grabbing the position!"

Mo Tong said and spoke, the more he talked, the more excited he became, because he knew that the old city lord was not sick to death, but was killed by someone, thinking of this, he was angry, he must catch the murderer and bring him to justice!

"So, the elder and the new city lord are doing it against each other, and if they don't stand with the old city lord, they may be the murderers of the old city lord?"

Lin Xiao listened to it and became energetic, feeling that his old acquaintance was not killed by illness, but by someone, how precious human life is, but someone tramples on life, he will never tolerate it, the murderer of the old city lord will continue to get away with it!

"I dare to say that the person who killed the old city lord must be one of the elders and the new city lord!"

Mo Tong concluded that it was one of the two of them who killed the old city lord, but he still didn't know who it was, so this matter was still so tricky, and he had to find a way.

"I know, the new city lord's motive for killing is relatively large, and it is more likely that the murderer is him, why don't we investigate him first?"

Lin Xiao proposed, Mo Tong listened to it and had no opinion, because he also felt that the probability of the new city owner being the murderer was relatively high, but he still had to investigate to find out.

In this world, there is cause and effect, even if it is the old city lord who killed the new city lord, if there is a last resort, a reason that can convince them, Lin Xiao and they will not pursue it, after all, this is a family matter, but they are too disgraceful and murder their brother for the sake of profit, this kind of thing that cannot be tolerated by heaven, how can they not care?

Mo Tong and Lin Xiao had said so many words, their mouths were already dry, and the place was very lively, the crowd was crowded, and there were already many beads of sweat the size of beans on their foreheads.

"Ahh Catch the thief! ”

Mo Tong was just about to open his mouth and ask Lin Xiao to go with him to the teahouse over there to sit for a while, rest his feet, and drink tea, but before he could speak, he heard a woman's shout.

Lin Xiao and Mo Tong looked in the direction where the sound came out, and Xi'er also heard the sound and looked in the direction where the sound came from.

The thief was covered with a black cloth and dressed in tatters, and he looked like a beggar at first glance, but in order not to let people remember his appearance, otherwise the next time someone saw him, he would be beaten wildly, so he didn't know where to get a piece of torn black cloth, covering his face, and he should have picked it up.

"Lin Xiao, Master, should I go and help?"

Xi'er wanted to go as soon as he saw this situation, and he always wanted to do what he wanted to do when he saw the unevenness and drew a knife to get along, but he didn't have kung fu before, so he didn't dare to go, and now he learned a little from Mo Tong, why not go? However, it is still necessary to get the consent of Lin Xiao and Master.

"Don't go, there are too many things like this, you can't help it, there is a thief here, and a robber will appear after a while, you are not tired, then you also have to consider whether you have time, and you don't have a clue to kill the old city lord when it gets dark for a while, this matter can't be delayed for too long."

Lin Xiao said that his family saw that there were more people in need of help, and he also helped a lot, but now there are so many people, Xi'er has just learned kung fu, and he has no actual combat experience, so he can't let him go, and his own words are tired, so he has to save some physical strength to investigate the old city lord, as for the woman who was stolen, there should be kind-hearted people to help, there are so many people here, there will always be one or two kind-hearted people.

"However, I have seen it all, if I don't help, it is too unrighteous."

Xi'er was still unwilling and wanted to help, knowing that Lin Xiao disagreed, so she moved her eyes to Mo Tong.

"Go, just practice your hands, but be careful, there are too many people here, don't bump into people, avoid unnecessary trouble, and recognize the way, just remember to come back here, don't chase if you can't catch it, it's even more troublesome if you fall into a trap."

Mo Tong said, he could see that Xi'er really wanted to help, his apprentice, could he not understand?

"Uh-huh!"

Xi'er turned around and agreed, and he knew that the master would definitely agree, and the master was very good to him.

"Be careful."

Lin Xiao said a word, and didn't say anything more, he also agreed to Xi'er to help, because he saw that the thief was holding a knife in his hand, and people didn't stop him but gave way for him to escape, just because he was afraid of the knife in his hand.

On the way to Mocheng, Xi'er studied hard, and his basic skills were already solid, so it shouldn't be a problem to deal with a thief, even if the thief had a knife in his hand, it wasn't a big problem, because Motong had taught Xi'er how to snatch the enemy's weapon or knock it out.

Mo Tong and Lin Xiao drank a few sips of tea, sat there and analyzed the old city lord together, and after waiting for a while, Xi'er came back, he said that he had successfully caught the thief, and the woman gave a string of sugar gourds as a thank you.

Lin Xiao and his entourage came to the City Lord's Palace, and the New City Lord knew through the messenger that they were guests, so he personally received them.

Lin Xiao saw that the face of the new city lord was not very good, as if he was sad for the death of the old city lord, from his eyes, it could be seen that the thick sadness, like the sadness of the death of a loved one, it was obvious that the new city lord was very sad about the death of his brother.

"The old city lord is my old acquaintance, why did he suddenly get sick, and I didn't listen to him tell me, I heard that he left as soon as he got sick, no wonder he didn't have time to tell me, can you tell me what disease he has?"

Although Lin Xiao already knew in his heart that the new city lord was not sick and left, because he knew that there was no disease in this world that left as soon as he was sick.

The new city lord did not immediately answer Lin Xiao's question, which made Lin Xiao and Mo Tong frown.

The new city lord was silent for a moment, slowly wiping away his tears before speaking.

"My brother, it's not because I'm sick, because I'm worried about the gossip of people outside, so I made up this cause of death and passed it on to people outside, so that they can know that my brother died of illness."

Listening to the words of the new city lord, Lin Xiao and Mo Tong's hearts were raised, the old city lord was really killed by his younger brother, but it was wrong to think about it, since it was the old city lord he killed, why was he so sad? Is there a last resort?

"How so? It wasn't a disease that died, how did it die? ”

Lin Xiao showed a puzzled expression, but the new city lord didn't see Lin Xiao's suspicious expression, because from beginning to end, the new city lord didn't look at them squarely, but looked at the ground, and as he spoke, he seemed to miss his brother.

"I don't know, but I know that my brother really didn't die of natural causes, someone must have killed him, but I couldn't find the murderer, I can only blame myself, I have no ability, not only can't protect my brother, but I can't find out the murderer of my brother, I'm so incompetent!"

Xincheng blamed himself vigorously, which made Lin Xiao and Mo Tong's brains mess up, all these motives, including what he just said, making up lies, obviously like a murderer, but his last words made Lin Xiao and Mo Tong feel that this was very true.

Lin Xiao couldn't see the falsehood in the eyes of the new city lord, and Mo Tong was the same.

"Let's mourn and change, take care of your body, the old city lord is really short-lived! Maybe it's destiny! ”

Lin Xiao knew that this matter should have been done by the owner of Xincheng, but looking at his expression, there should be a reason for last resort, not on purpose, not for his own interests, since this is the case, Lin Xiao doesn't want to care about other people's family affairs, although he wants to know the reason, but the owner of Xincheng is unwilling to speak, and he has no choice, he can't forcibly open his mouth.

"Nope! This is not destiny! My brother shouldn't have a short life, his life is not over, it was those sinister villains who killed him, I beg you, help me investigate the murderer of my brother, I kneel for you! ”

The new city lord became more and more excited, and as a result, he really knelt down for Lin Xiao and them, Lin Xiao couldn't stop them if they wanted to, he had to kneel.

Lin Xiao and Mo Tong glanced at each other, both of them shook their heads helplessly, it seemed that the murderer was not the new city owner, his eyes were all sad, which made people look strange and pitiful.

"Don't worry, the old city lord is my old acquaintance, his business is my business, his death, I will definitely find out, no matter who harmed him, I will not forgive!"

The new city lord nodded, and then stood up, wanting to keep them here for dinner, but Lin Xiao had already made up his mind and said goodbye to the new city lord.

"I said, it's good that I didn't eat dinner with him, I'm really afraid of being poisoned."

Out of the City Lord's Palace, Xi'er said, and Lin Xiao and Mo Tong hurriedly covered Xi'er's mouth with their hands and told him to shut up, this is not far away, even if people speak badly, if he hears it, maybe people's heads will fall to the ground.

When he returned to the inn, Lin Xiao asked Xi'er.

"Why? This new city lord doesn't look like a bad guy, and you're so afraid of being poisoned by him? ”

"Didn't I say, can't you all see that the new city lord is fake? The one who cried and cried, the dead father and the dead mother didn't cry, and a brother died and cried like this, like a woman. ”

As soon as Xi'er's words fell, Lin Xiao and Mo Tong covered his mouth with their hands.
