Chapter 4: What the hell was last night
Weilong Martial Arts Hall
Li Shenlong didn't go back to Qingliangyuan last night, Su Hang was worried that something had happened to him, and he was about to go out to find him in the morning, but coincidentally, as soon as he went out, he met Yang Weilong, the director of the Weilong Martial Arts Pavilion.
Yang Weilong told him that Li Shenlong seemed to have fallen into evil last night, and as soon as he came to the Weilong Martial Arts Hall, he was full of fever and cold. And now, Su Hang is putting a cold cloth on Li Shenlong's forehead.
Li Shenlong's fingers moved, he slowly opened his eyes, feeling that his eyelids were so heavy that he couldn't open them, and his head was dizzy.
"Li Shenlong, are you awake?! You're scared to death! Su Hang was overjoyed when he saw Li Shenlong wake up, and he sat next to Li Shenlong and helped him up.
Li Shenlong thought back to last night's events, and the white headless figure lingered in his mind, and he grabbed Su Hang's arm violently.
"Su Hang! What hell did I last night! ”
"Huh? The theory of ghosts and gods is nonsense, aren't you dazzled? Su Hang obviously thought he was dreaming, and he had a fever and was confused.
Outside the door, there was a man about thirty, tall and burly, with a beard, this man looked rough, and at first glance he was a person who knew martial arts, and this person was Yang Weilong, the director of the Weilong Martial Arts Pavilion.
"Brother Li, you don't know yet, do you? Wang Daqiang died, and his head was cut off! ”
"Huh?!" Li Shenlong and Su Hang were both taken aback, could it be that Wang Daqiang's death had something to do with the "headless ghost" that Li Shenlong saw last night?
Yang Weilong: "Brother Li, as soon as you came to my Weilong Martial Arts Hall last night, you chattered, saying that you saw a headless person, I thought about what you said may be related to Wang Daqiang's death, and now there are two officials and uncles to investigate the case, if you know anything, you might as well talk to them." ”
……
Dugu Shaobai walked along the street, the head of the corpse has not been found, the people on the road looked at the blood stains on the ground, and people were panicked, Taoyuan Town is a small town on the outskirts of the imperial capital, not far from the imperial capital, it has been peaceful for decades, and now there is such a strange murder, and it is normal for the people to be afraid.
The blood stains on the ground spread from Wang Daqiang's body to the opposite street, and the blood stains on the ground were in the shape of drops, and it stands to reason that the murderer should have held the head in his hand and walked all the way to the opposite street, which caused blood to drip on the ground, and the blood stains disappeared under a big tree on the opposite street.
Dugu Shaobai raised his eyes and looked at the big tree in front of him, it was an old banyan tree, nearly ninety feet tall, with lush branches that blocked the sun.
With a slight slap of his foot, he flew up and found blood on a thick tree trunk fifty feet away.
Dugu Shaobai looked up along the bloodstains on the branches, and on the thick trunk of the tree, there was a bloody human head blocked by leaves. When I got closer, I found that the head was terrible, and the flesh on its face seemed to have been bitten off by something.
……
In the evening, in the morgue in Taoyuan Town, Wang Bingquan led a group of people to cry in front of the coffin, Dugu Shaobai stood outside the door and pondered, why was Wang Daqiang's head hung on a big tree?
Li Shenlong came to the morgue, and as soon as he stepped in, he saw a group of people crying in front of the coffin, Wang Daqiang has been in Taoyuan Town all the year round, and the people were dissatisfied with him, but now he also ended up with a tragic death.
Li Shenlong looked at Dugu Shaobai standing on the side, with an extraordinary temperament and a temperament that was completely different from the people of Taoyuan Town, Li Shenlong wondered if this was the official uncle Yang Weilong said?
"This son, you were sent by the government?"
Dugu Shaobai retracted his thoughts and responded: "Exactly"
Li Shenlong mysteriously pulled Dugu Shaobai aside and lowered his voice: "This son, let me tell you, last night, I saw a headless man in white standing on the street, the street where you found Wang Daqiang's body, do you think this will have anything to do with Wang Daqiang's death?" ”
Dugu Shaobai frowned, how could a headless person stand on the street if he couldn't live anymore?
"Do you remember the shape of the headless 'man'? How tall is it? Is it facing you or is it facing you? ”
Li Shenlong touched his chin and thought back to the situation last night.
"The thing was facing me, and according to the angle I was at the time, it should have been the body facing Wang Daqiang sideways, because his body was found around the corner of the street, as for how high...... I guess I'm about the same height, but it's too late in the night, I'm almost scared to pee, and I'm not sure. ”
"Big brother." Shangguan Yutang walked to Dugu Shaobai's side and said: "I just went to Chunxiang Building and found a girl named Xiaolan, the girl said that she served Wang Daqiang last night, Wang Daqiang left Chunxiang Building before he was a child, but he was already drunk at the time, Xiaolan is Zhou Dali's sister, Qiaoxia is his childhood sweetheart, I suspect that Wang Daqiang's death may be related to Zhou Dali." ”
As soon as he heard the words "Zhou Dali", Wang Bingqiang on the side jumped up directly, knelt in front of Dugu Shaobai and Shangguan Yutang, grabbed their trouser legs and cried: "Two official uncles, you must be my brother's master!" Zhou Dali was jealous that my brother was with Qiao Xia, so he killed my brother, you must catch Zhou Dali and give my brother justice! ”
Wang Bingquan kowtowed to the two of them a few times, and it was really a deep brotherhood!
Dugu Shaobai: "Well, let's go find Zhou Dali now"
The two turned to leave, Li Shenlong's face was not very good, because he also felt that this matter was very likely to be related to Zhou Dali, Qiao Xia and Zhou Dali had feelings for each other before his death, and Zhou Dali's sister Zhou Xiaolan was forced into the Qinglou by Wang Da, and he was very suspicious of committing the crime. Zhou Dali also has some friendship with him, and he is also worried about him in his heart.
Shangguan Yutang recalled in his mind what Grandpa Taohong said, Zhou Dali's sister Zhou Xiaolan has a good friend named Xia Ming, will this Xia Ming also be suspicious?
"Big brother, why don't we go our separate ways, you go to Zhou Dali, I'll go to Xia Ming"
Dugu Shaobai nodded, and the two went their separate ways.
Dugu Shaobai came to the vicinity of Zhou Dali's house, jumped lightly, and flew to a big tree outside their yard.
Standing on a high place, I could just see the courtyard of Zhou Dali's house, and I saw Zhou Dali sitting next to a pile of firewood chopping wood, and there was a woman with a big belly standing on the side, presumably she was Zhou Dali's wife.
Mrs. Zhou stood aside and wiped Zhou Dali's sweat: "Xianggong, you are also tired, let's rest first, let's do these jobs tomorrow." ”
Zhou Dali wiped his sweat and continued to chop wood: "It's okay, I'm not tired." ”
Mrs. Zhou on the side muttered: "If Xia Minglai hadn't borrowed the axe last night, you would have finished cutting it a long time ago, and next time he asks for an axe, you let him buy one himself." ”
Zhou Dali sighed: "Xia Ming has a seriously ill old mother at home, where does he have spare money to buy other things?" I grew up with him, so of course this little favor can help. ”
Xia Ming? Hatchet? Wang Daqiang's head was cut off with a machete or axe, is it ...... Is it Xia Ming?
