Chapter 24: Is It Really a Murderer?
The plan has been decided, Chen Chao and An Pingyuan separated, and continued to wander into the distance according to the plan.
Occasionally, there was a small pavilion by the lake, and Chen Chao walked into it with a paper fan.
At this time, it is evening, and there is no wind, and the sunset is reflected on the lake, which has a different kind of beauty.
Chen Chao couldn't help but think of a poem by Liu Yuxi, and couldn't help but chant: "The lake and autumn moon are in harmony, and the surface of the lake has no wind mirrors and has not been polished." Looking at the green mountains and rivers of Dongting from afar, there is a green snail in the silver plate. ”
"Good poetry." Suddenly there was a soft voice of appreciation behind him, the sound was like thin hair, and the aftermath was lingering, which was haunting.
Chen Chao's heart was stunned, and he immediately turned around and saw a young woman coming from ten steps away.
This woman has long blue hair, purple eye shadow, dark lip gloss, every word and deed, every gesture, all of which are inspiring, Rao is Chen Chao, a modern person who is used to seeing all kinds of Internet celebrities, has been tested for a long time, and is also amazed by the beauty of this woman.
"It's coming, it's still taken the bait after all!" Chen Chao secretly said in his heart, although he didn't know who this woman was, he could already conclude that she was the murderer and the legendary fox demon.
"Who is the girl, if it is twilight today, why is she here alone?" Chen Chao deliberately took the initiative to talk to the woman.
The woman smiled, charming, and said: "Don't hide from the child, the little woman is the Dongtu Wuge people's clan, the name is Ogino Chieko, and she traveled here with her friends, and was attracted by the lake and mountains. ”
"It's a Wuge person?" Chen Chao pondered in his heart, Brother An said that the evil merit of the victim was likely to come from the island country of Wuge, and this woman happened to be from Wuge, and it seemed that the murderer was 200% her.
Determined that Chieko Ogino was the murderer, Chen Chao deliberately made the appearance of being captured by beauty, and thought of a way to deal with her, and at the same time invited her to watch the sunset on a cliff not far away according to the plan.
Chieko Ogino didn't know what the plan was, so she happily agreed.
When he came to the cliff, Chen Chao suddenly shot an arrow into the sky, and drew his sword in his hand, blocking the only way out of the cliff mouth.
Although the Falling Dust Sword Technique given to Chen Chao by An Pingyuan is a one-star swordsmanship cheat, it has opened up two acupuncture veins, and its power should not be underestimated. Now there are cliffs on three sides, and only one side can enter and exit, unless the strength is much higher than Chen Chao and enough to kill him in seconds, it is impossible to escape immediately.
Chieko Ogino suddenly became anxious, and asked Chen Chao, who was standing with a sword, "Childe, what do you mean by this?" The little woman doesn't have any extra property on her, if the son needs it, the little woman will take it out for you......" said as she took off the earrings and approached Chen Chao.
"Stop! Stay there! Chen Chao shouted loudly, and the long sword pointed at the other party, and the internal force of Moyun was strictly guarded. At present, I only know that the murderer's light skills are very good, but I don't know how good his martial arts are. However, whether it was for his own safety or to prevent the murderer from escaping, Chen Chao did not dare to let Chieko Ogino get close.
If she dares to force the impact, Chen Chao will desperately stop it.
"Childe, you ......" Chieko Ogino looked frightened, staying there, neither advancing nor retreating.
An Pingyuan came quickly, almost overnight, and seeing that Chen Chao really blocked the murderer, he patted Chen Chao's shoulder excitedly: "Brother Chen is full of wisdom, and he really hooked this big fish." ”
Chen Chao was also relieved, An Pingyuan is known as the number one bounty hunter in the world, and his skills are well-known, with him, it is impossible for the murderer to escape.
"Two sons, you ...... What are you going to do, the little woman is just a tourist from the east ......" Chieko Ogino was at a loss when she spoke.
An Pingyuan smiled, from the time he saw Chieko Ogino's appearance, he also identified her as the murderer like Chen Chao, such a bewitching woman is very suitable for the word fox demon, and she is a Wuge person, and she dares to go out alone in the evening, and the suspicion is bigger than the sky.
An Pingyuan said: "Don't worry, girl, we are not villains, but bounty hunters of the imperial court, responsible for investigating the case of fox demon harming people. Please also ask the girl to cooperate more, if you are not the murderer, then I will apologize to you and return your innocence. ”
"What? You think I'm a fox demon? That's ridiculous, isn't it?! Chieko Ogino asked loudly, looking at An Pingyuan for a while, and then at Chen Chao, with an incredible face.
An Pingyuan didn't talk nonsense, took out the red bundle of thousand-year-old silk strands and wrapped it around Chieko Ogino's wrist, tied it into a unique knot, and buckled it.
Chieko Ogino did not resist and let it be.
An Pingyuan said: "Brother Chen, the murderer seems to be very calm, and we are expected to have no evidence to accuse her of murder. ”
"Not really." Chen Chao glanced at Chieko Ogino and said to An Pingyuan: "The fox demon only exists in legends, and almost everyone who has come into contact with her has died. In other words, even if the murderer is standing in front of us at this moment, we will not be able to see through it. ”
An Pingyuan watched Chieko Ogino's expression while continuing to say to Chen Chao: "Yes, what should I do then?" Since no one has ever seen the murderer, even if we catch the real murderer, there is no way to convict us! No one identified ......"
"Why didn't anyone identify it? Brother An, please note what I just said, almost everyone who has come into contact with the fox demon has died, but in fact, there is still a survivor, Brother An, has you ever remembered? Chen Chao said this deliberately, and looked at Chieko Ogino carefully, but unfortunately, this woman still looked panicked and uneasy, without any flaws.
"Are you Wang Ershun? That's right! Brother Chen, your reminder is too in place! An Pingyuan said as he looked at Chieko Ogino and said to her, "Girl, we will take you to meet an important witness now, and if you are really not the murderer, we will let you go at that time." ”
Chieko Ogino nodded obediently.
An Pingyuan stared at her for a long time, but he didn't find any flaws, and said to Chen Chao in private: "Brother Chen, do you think we caught the wrong person?" ”
Chen Chao shrugged his shoulders and said, "I can't say for sure at this time, after all, we have too few clues." But sometimes, the more people look like murderers, the more likely they are not the real murderers. However, Wang Ershun is the victim and has had close contact with the murderer, whether this woman is the murderer or not, take her to Wang Ershun to identify her, and the result will definitely be obtained. ”
An Pingyuan nodded, deeply convinced.
……
They took Chieko Ogino to the dilapidated courtyard of Wang Ershun's house, there was no entertainment in ancient times, and ordinary people would go to bed early after dinner.
Chen Chao stepped forward and knocked on the courtyard door, and explained his intention to Wang Ershun, who came to open the door.
At this time, the sky is not completely dark, and you can still identify a person's appearance by the light of the sky.
An Pingyuan brought Chieko Ogino to Wang Ershun, and Chen Chao asked him to carefully identify the appearance of the murderer.
But in the end, Wang Ershun shook his head and said, "It's not her." ”
