Chapter 12 Finding Someone

This town is a bit bigger, who in the township doesn't know anyone? Marlon is a native of the town, how could he never have seen her?

Although the town is not big, you can't ask door-to-door.

Because she must be hiding now, even if she asks, she may not be able to find it.

I carefully recalled the scene when I saw her, Mr. Wei should have died lying down, and when the woman was next to him, he was sitting.

In other words, it was the woman who lifted him up.

Why did she lift up a dead man? There are only two explanations, first, that she is studying corpses. Second, she's looking for something.

I guess she must have failed to achieve her goal, otherwise she would have left early, how could she have waited to be bumped into.

If so, then there is a high probability that she will come back.

During the day, the Wei Mansion was busy with funerals, and she naturally wouldn't come.

The day before the funeral, there would be relatives who would keep vigil all night, and she would not come back.

Then only tonight and tomorrow night will she have a chance.

Since he promised to help Young Master Wei investigate the murderer, he provided me with food and accommodation.

Returning to the accommodation he had provided for me, I lay down on my bed and fell asleep, and for the last few days I had not been able to get a good night's sleep, and I woke up after dark.

After the people in the mourning hall dispersed, Ma Long and I quietly came to the mourning hall.

Tonight, Malone had a sword pinned to his waist, and he was in good spirits.

He climbed onto the beams and hid. And my half-crippled body has a hard time getting into bed, so I don't go to the beams, and it's good to hide behind the curtains.

I waited all night, but I never saw a figure.

We went back to our lodgings to rest.

In the evening, we continued our hunt.

Malone squatted on the beam, and I hid behind the curtains.

In the middle of the night, there was no movement. The moonlight shone in, and the surroundings were silvery white. By the moonlight, I saw Malone motionless on the beams, as if asleep.

I shouted softly, "Marlon......"

He put his index finger to his mouth and made a "shhhh

I understood and stopped talking.

A slight sound of footsteps came from outside, getting closer and closer, coming towards the window.

Being able to choose this time means that she expects that there will be no one in the mourning hall at this time. Since no one is expected to go through the window, it means that she is a cautious person.

But being smart is mistaken by being smart, who would have thought that I would hide in front of the window, and I grabbed her collar as soon as she came in.

Although she was wearing a night gown and covered her face, I could tell from her figure that she was a woman.

I hurriedly called Malone to help, and as soon as Malone jumped down, she suddenly bit me on the arm.

I already had a wound on my arm, and I almost burst into tears when I was bitten by her, but I let go of it at that time.

She shoved me and ran through the window. Malone hurriedly chased him out, and I followed suit.

The two ran very fast, and they disappeared after a while.

I had no choice but to chase in the direction of the two of them.

After about five minutes, I saw them in the woods, and it was the last thing I wanted to see.

I saw the woman fall to the ground, and Ma Long's sword was out of her body and still covered with blood.

What's even more striking is that Malone is holding the sword in his left hand.

Malone holds a sword in his left hand, and the murderer is also left-handed. I repeated it to him many times, saying that the woman was not the murderer, and that we were only looking for her to find some clues.

But he killed her, clearly to prevent me from getting the clues.

With the above two points, it is enough to show that Ma Long is the murderer of Mr. Wei, I have witnessed all this, and it is absolutely impossible for him to let me go.

He walked in this direction, and the moonlight turned his face white, looking like a demon. His sword slashed against the ground, making a rustling sound like a demon's groan.

I've seen Marlon's outstretched hand before, and that's not something I can handle with an injury.

Thirty-six plans are the best plan, and you have to go back to Wei Mansion as soon as possible, only there is the safest.

There was a path in the woods, and I ran along it. Malone chased after him.

When I got to the corner of the path, I heard two swishing sounds from behind, and then someone pulled me aside, and I heard two "thump" thumps, and two pieces of metal hit a tree in front of me.

The two pieces of metal were thin and sharp, which matched the characteristics of the murder weapon that killed Mr. Wei.

It wasn't someone else who pulled me, but Young Master Wei, who was holding the ghost head knife that was going to be used to kill me and the fat man at that time.

I was surprised and delighted, and asked, "Why are you here?"

Young Master Wei said: "My father's affairs, how can I just let you be an outsider busy?" I'm going to have to do something right. He turned to Marlon and said, "I saw everything just now, I think you should give me an explanation."

Ma Long didn't speak, raised his sword and stabbed at Young Master Wei.

Young Master Wei clenched the ghost head knife and went forward, Ma Long's left-hand sword was suffocating, and the two fought for a few rounds, and Young Master Wei fell behind.

Young Master Wei was in a hurry, regardless of the defense, and slashed over with a brutal sword, although this attack was fierce, it exposed the fatal weakness to the opponent.

And Ma Long just seized the opportunity to backhand a sword and stabbed it straight into Young Master Wei's throat.

With the speed of Ma Long's sword, it was impossible for Young Master Wei to dodge, and I was so anxious that I almost screamed.

Unexpectedly, Ma Long's fatal blow actually pierced the air, leaving only a small wound on Young Master Wei's neck.

Young Master Wei had a ghost head knife, and the back of the knife smashed on Ma Long's head, Ma Long rolled his eyes and fainted.

I hurried to see the woman and took off her face covering, which was the same woman who had appeared in Mr. Wei's room that day. Fortunately, she was not dead, she was stabbed in the right chest, the injury was not light but not fatal.

Young Master Wei and I took her and Ma Long back together, and on the way I told him a series of my inferences, and he agreed with my inferences. After going back, Young Master Wei asked a doctor to be invited, and after some rescue, the woman was out of danger, but she was still in a coma.

Ma Long was imprisoned in the dungeon, and Young Master Wei said that he would sacrifice Mr. Wei with his blood tomorrow.

At the same time, he lifted the house arrest of the fat man, and promised to send us away after Mr. Wei was buried.

But I always felt that something was wrong with this matter, and it was going too smoothly.

The fat man did not suffer at all during the two days he was imprisoned, but his face was ruddy, as if he was fatter than before.

It was almost dawn, and I couldn't sleep as I lay in bed tossing and turning.

I remember what happened today over and over again in my head.

I called the fat man and came to the woods again.

Find the tree that was hit by the metal piece, and find the location before I was pulled away by Young Master Wei at that time.

Combined with the angle at which the metal pieces were inserted into the tree, the two pieces of metal were aimed at my left shoulder.

I saw things I shouldn't have seen, and theoretically he should have killed me. But if he wants my life, why hit me in the left shoulder?

This only shows one thing, he has no murderous intentions towards us at all.

Of course, it is not ruled out that he missed, even if he missed, then if he wanted to cut off the clue by killing, why didn't he stab the woman's heart, but stabbed the right chest?

When he confronted Young Master Wei, Young Master Wei exposed a fatal loophole, he seized the opportunity but stabbed it off, how can this be explained?

His sword is as fast as lightning, how can a person who can connect swordsmanship into such a realm not even grasp the most basic accuracy? It's a deliberate stab.
