Chapter 456 The knife is gone
That knife was made for Xiao He when Mu Churan found a piece of fine thousand-year-old meteorite iron when he was listening to the rain villa. Sharpen iron like clay, cold light, never stain blood.
Because meteoric iron is rare, that knife may be the only one in the world, and there is no one who can compare with it.
Now it's lost, which makes Mu Churan unable to accept it no matter what.
After hearing that person's words, Mu Churan turned over and jumped in front of the person, grabbed her collar, and asked sharply, "You tell me clearly, what's going on?" Where are all our knives? Didn't the magistrate promise us that he would definitely come back after dawn? Could it be that the county has some evil intentions? Want to monopolize our weapons? ”
Mu Churan had great strength, grabbed the man's collar, the man couldn't catch up for a moment, his face turned red, he only pointed to his mouth, and pointed at Mu Churan's hand, telling him to let go.
Mu Churan snorted coldly, "If you are released, you will not be able to run anywhere." So he let go of the man's collar.
At this time, the people who were preparing to eat also gathered around and asked nonsense.
"What the hell do you mean? Didn't you know that the county would protect our weapons? How did someone rob it? Are your county officials all decorations? ”
"Yes, yes, those things are the ones we ate with, and now they're all gone, you say, what are we going to do? At this time, if an enemy comes to the door, won't we all wait for death? ”
As soon as this person said this, everyone else echoed him, who doesn't have an enemy, who doesn't have an opponent?
If the enemy and the opponent happen to come over at this time, then everyone will simply die here.
The man wiped the cold sweat on his head, and looked around at everyone, all of them were big men living on the knife edge on the rivers and lakes, everyone was not lacking in irritable temper, if he didn't come up with a reasonable explanation today, I am afraid he would not be able to walk out of this gate with all his beards and tails.
It's just that this matter has nothing to do with him, he is just kind enough to report to everyone.
The man felt that he had been wronged, and secretly complained to himself, and he had nothing to do. Can't you tell these people to wait here? Can't you wait for someone from the county government to come and report the news? Why do you have to come?
It's just that the matter has come to this point, and I can't regret it, so I can only cry with a sad face, and under Mu Churan's anger, I said one by one: "I don't know the specifics." I just heard from the officials of the county government that they were holding the weapons of the people, and they were walking around a corner, when suddenly a person flew down, knocked down the man, and took the package containing the weapons and took it away. The martial arts of the officials were not high, and they couldn't catch up with the man, so they could only watch the man leave. Although the magistrate asked someone to chase him, he only chased him for half a day, and there was no one. I just don't know if the person who killed the person and the person who took the weapon are the same person. ”
The person who was killed upstairs was the one Xiao He heard last night, saying that he had a grudge against Jiang Yufeng.
It's just that Xiao He is very sure that neither she nor Mu Churan heard any sound at night, let alone any shouting. Although the two of them are tired and may sleep a little deeper, they will definitely not sleep without distractions in the shouts of the people next door.
This can only say one thing. Either the murderer's martial arts are so high that he can silently sneak past the many masters in the inn and enter the man's room, and then kill the person with a single sword, and then leave unharmed.
Either that, or the murderer was a man in the inn, and after the man was asleep, God came to his room and killed the man.
However, no matter what the situation is, Xiao He doesn't plan to delay here any longer.
They did not kill her, and her knife is now missing.
The murder should be investigated by the magistrate, and her top priority is to recover her knife.
So, Xiao He and Mu Churan glanced at each other, nodded at the same time, turned around and went back upstairs, leaving those people to talk to the people who reported the news.
After packing their respective luggage in the room, Xiao He and Mu Churan went downstairs at the same time, ignoring the inquiring or curious eyes of others, and came to the door and were about to go out.
However, there were two officials guarding the door. As soon as he saw them come out, he hurriedly turned on a cold face and said, "I said, why are you two so ignorant? Don't you know what the county master said before leaving? So that you will wait here first. You are all suspected murderers now, and no one can leave until the cause of that man's death is known. Why are you so disobedient? Ah. The man looked worried about the country and the people, sighed and shook his head, "I can't finish worrying all day long, and I have to watch you people who don't know what to do, in the future..."
Mu Churan didn't talk nonsense with that man, punched him in the stomach, knocked the official out of the way, his body crossed an arc in the air, and he fell heavily to the ground, and he didn't get up for a long time.
"What are you doing?" When the other officials saw it, they all surrounded them, but they were just holding knives and gesturing, and none of them dared to enter within three steps of Mu Churan.
Mu Churan snorted coldly, took Xiao He's hand, and said coldly: "What I want to do, there is no need to tell you yet." He drank again, "Get out of here." ”
The face of the leading official changed suddenly, and he secretly glanced at the official who was wailing on the ground, and swallowed his saliva unconsciously. These people, it's okay to bully ordinary people, but if they really face the masters, it will be a life to give people their heads.
However, since they have eaten this bowl of rice, they have taken responsibility, and the magistrate has asked them to stay here, and if they leave their posts without permission, it will be difficult to explain in the future.
Just when the official was in a dilemma, there was a commotion among the people in the inn behind him.
"I said, we don't blame you for losing our weapons, but we want to find it ourselves, why don't you agree?"
"Yes, yes, otherwise, you can help us get it back."
"Yes, you tell me, we will find it ourselves, and you don't have to bother."
A group of people were babbling.
Those few officials trembled in their legs and stomachs, and they couldn't deal with just one Mu Churan, let alone these people stepping forward together. Looking at each other left and right, the officials took a few steps back together, silently making way for a path. However, he still said: "Don't mess around, this is the law of the court, and everyone must abide by it." ”
Seeing the performance of these servants, Mu Churan snorted coldly and pulled Xiao He away. When the others saw it, they all rushed out of the store and scattered.
As for whether the murderer can be found, Mu Churan doesn't care about that now.
There is a priority.
There will always be a day when the murderer will show his feet, and at that time, it will be enough to catch him.
However, if their weapons cannot be retrieved as soon as possible, the longer they delay, the slimmer the hope of retrieving them.
And what makes people uneasy is that Xiao He's knife is really a knife that is unparalleled in the world, although it does not look luxurious on the outside, but as long as the expert who uses the knife takes a look, he can find the benefits of the knife.
Therefore, Mu Churan wanted to help Xiao He get the knife back as soon as possible.
After the two left the inn, according to the informant, they came to the alley where the knife was thrown and looked around.
This area is full of private houses, high and low ridges are scattered, if there is a person in ambush inside, when the magistrate comes, he rushes down, and no one is defenseless.
"Let's go." Mu Churan observed the surrounding environment, looked at the ground again, and saw that there was no obvious evidence, so he pulled Xiao He to jump on the roof and raised his eyes to look around.
After Xiao He jumped on the roof, he stood beside Mu Churan.
He has a straight figure, a long jade body, a light-colored robe, and a light-colored jade belt around his waist, as tall as a tree and as majestic as a mountain.
Xiao He looked at the anxious look in his eyes, and his heart was warm. took the initiative to take Mu Churan's hand and comforted him: "It's okay, it's just a knife, if it's gone, it's gone." Although it is said that the stone is rare, as long as the martial arts are strong enough, let alone a knife, even Liu Ye can kill people. You've never cared about these things outside of your body, but what's wrong with you today? So nervous? ”
Mu Churan lowered his head and glanced at Xiao He gently, he didn't care about these things outside his body, but this thing outside his body was different, he had to care.
"There's nothing here, let's go over there." Mu Churan just smiled, and did not give up the plan to find the knife.
Xiao He patted him on the back and said, "It's okay, since you must find it back, then I will give up my life to accompany the gentleman." ”
She didn't care about the knife, but Mu Churan's heart moved her.
Compared with those whose wives lost things and their husbands ignored them, Mu Churan was really reassuring.
After the two of them finished exploring the place, they jumped to the next place and continued to look.
After jumping like this three or four times, I finally saw a piece of black tiles that had been trampled on top of a house. Mu Churan picked it up and looked at it, got up again and looked around, meditated in his heart for a while, and then pointed out a direction.
Xiao He followed Mu Churan and continued to jump forward.
Just when the two of them were jumping around like frogs on the roof, in the alley in the distance, a few more people who came to find their weapons searched carefully.
Other people also came one after another, and for a while, this small alley was crowded with people.
Just when everyone was clamoring and shouting, Mu Churan took Xiao He to come to a courtyard, looked up at the door, thought about it, protected Xiao He behind him, and reached out and knocked on the door.
It's just that the two knocked on the door for a long time, but no one came inside, and no sound could be heard.
Mu Churan's patience ran out, and asked Xiao He to stand behind the wall, he took out an ordinary knife he had just bought from the street, slashed at the door, and then kicked it, and quickly flashed next to Xiao He.
Xiao He held his hand tightly and comforted: "It's really okay, I don't need that knife." He was afraid that he was really a master or a person who was not easy to mess with, if Mu Churan was injured because of a knife, Xiao He would definitely not forgive himself.
