Ding Ning is dead.

His throat was slit, and red blood splattered out, staining the white shirt he wore under his trench coat with blood.

In this dark night, in this slightly desolate village, a corpse sat on the side of the road, and ordinary people would be frightened to death if they saw it.

"Detective Ding, are you still alive?"

Ye Xun was shocked and angry, and reached out to probe Ding Ning's snort, without any breath. But his body hasn't cooled yet, which means that Ding Ning has just been dead for a while.

Ye Xun and Ding Ning were separated for only about twenty minutes, and in these short twenty minutes, Ding Ning died.

"Who the hell killed Detective Ding?"

Ye Xun suddenly felt that an invisible net was enveloping him, encompassing him and his family, powerless to resist, unable to resist, and completely clueless.

Ye Xun didn't know who the opponent was, but he could intuitively feel the strength of the opponent.

"It seems that the other party's purpose is not to lure me away, but to divert the tiger from the mountain. Deliberately separated me from Detective Ding, and then killed Detective Ding. ”

But on second thought, it doesn't seem right.

Lu Manxue said that Ding Ning is a third-order martial artist, even if Ye Xun has mastered the kung fu of Shadowless Feet, Xiao Wuxianggong, Finger Twisting Rou Swordsmanship, and Tiyun Zong, it is equivalent to the level of a fourth-order martial artist.

Coupled with the fire control ability, maybe Ye Xun can wrestle with a fifth-order martial artist, but he may not have the strength to defeat a fifth-order martial artist.

And the other party was able to easily kill Ding Ning in a short period of time, seal his throat with a sword, and then disguise Ding Ning as sitting on the side of the road to intimidate Ye Xun, at least the level of a fifth-order martial artist, or even higher.

Coupled with the figure that lured Ye Xun and Ding Ning apart, the other party was at least two fifth-order martial artists, if you wanted to kill Ding Ning and Ye Xun, there was no need to play these tricks, you could kill them directly.

"The other party clearly only wants to kill Detective Ding, and doesn't want to attack me, what is the purpose?" Ye Xun was puzzled, and his heart was even more confused.

Who is the opponent? Why did he kidnap his parents for no reason? Why did he kill Ding Ning but didn't attack him?

One question after another came one after another, like waves of the ocean, making Ye Xun confused.

"What's next?"

Ye Xun pondered for a moment, took out his mobile phone and called Lu Manxue, and said in a depressed mood: "Hey...... Sister Lu, I'm Ye Xun, I met Detective Ding in my hometown......"

Listening to Ye Xun roughly explain the ins and outs of the matter, Lu Manxue said worriedly: "I didn't expect your parents' disappearance case to be so complicated, I should have accompanied you back if I knew this." Hurry up and drive back, I'll accompany you back next time. ”

Ye Xun rejected Lu Manxue's kindness: "I'm not afraid of death, and the other party clearly doesn't want to kill me, otherwise they wouldn't have separated me from Detective Ding." I already have eyebrows, for the sake of my parents, for the sake of Detective Ding, I must find out the murderers behind this gang, and also give Ding Ning's spirit in the sky an explanation. ”

"Then you find a place to hide and wait for me, I will drive on the road now, and I will arrive in your Dongyang County around the early morning, and you can send me the location of your home." Lu Manxue said with concern.

"Sister Lu, I'm really relieved that you care about me so much. But it's too far for me to let you take the risk. I'm calling you to make this call to ask you to notify Detective Ding's family and tell them the bad news......"

Ye Xun sighed, "Detective Ding was killed in order to find my family, no matter what, I should compensate Detective Ding's family for a fee." ”

Lu Manxue smiled bitterly: "Ding Ning is actually an apprentice of my father, and his parents died in a car accident when he was three years old. His neighbor sent him to our Lu family to learn martial arts, and later because he broke the rules of the door because of gambling, my father expelled him from the sect, so he went to Jinsha to become a private detective......"

"The fate of this Ding detective is too tragic. ”

Ye Xun was speechless, reached out and slowly took off Ding Ning's top hat, closed his round eyes, and silently muttered in his heart: "Brother Ding, you are blinded under Jiuquan, I swear that I will find the murderer to avenge you!"

"Sister Lu, Detective Ding died in order to investigate my parents' case, what should be done with his body?" Ye Xun asked sadly.

Lu Manxue said with emotion on the phone: "Ding Ning said that people come to the world to suffer, if he dies one day, he will find a random place to bury him, just like falling leaves returning to the earth." I didn't expect it to be a prophecy, you wait for me to rush over, let me send Ding Ning on the last journey, let's bury him in your hometown, he has no roots anyway!"

"Okay, Sister Lu, you drive slowly on the road. ”

Ye Xun could only agree, and carried Ding Ning's body and returned to his home step by step.

It was only about two miles from the entrance of the village to Ye's house, but Ye Xun felt that this journey was so long and the steps were so heavy.

When he came to the door, Ye Xun took out the key to open the door, and then walked into his yard through the gate, which was also a sign of respect for the deceased.

Ye Xun took out his futon and wrapped Ding Ning's body, found two stools to put horizontally on it, and found an incense burner to light a stick of incense in front of the corpse, and set up a simple mourning hall.

Wait for tomorrow after dawn to find the carpenter Liu in the village to make a coffin, and when Lu Manxue comes, he will bury Ding Ning and let him be buried in the ground.

Ding Ning died for the Ye family, and Ye Xun could only do his best to make Ding Ning go with dignity.

After setting up the mourning hall, Ye Xun turned on all the lights in the house, and squatted silently in the yard to smoke, thinking hard.

Who was the person who killed Ding Ning? Why didn't they make a move sooner or later, but now they killed someone? Was it a coincidence, or did they hear the conversation between Ding Ning and themselves and perceive what Ding Ning had discovered?

Ye Xun and Ding Ning's hearing is far beyond ordinary people, even if the other party's kung fu is much higher, but if they can hear the conversation between the two without being detected within the distance of being able to hear the conversation between the two, Ye Xun feels that there are only two possibilities.

Either the other party has installed monitoring equipment in his own home, or the other party's martial arts far exceed the fifth order, reaching the sixth or even seventh order, so that they can be silent and do whatever they want.

Ye Xun immediately launched a carpet search at home, and spent nearly an hour with a flashlight, and sure enough, he found that there was a bugging device the size of a pen cap hidden in the crack of the door frame of the side room.

"Shhh...... Sure enough, someone was listening to our house. ”

Ye Xun gasped, and wanted to take out the monitor, but he was afraid of startling the snake, so he retracted his outstretched hand.

"The other party kidnapped my parents, installed a bugging device in my house, and transferred the tiger to kill Ding Ning, what did I do so much effort for? I must find out the murderer, so that I can match Ding Ning's Nine Springs Spirit, and know the whereabouts of my parents. Whether they live or die, I will find them!"

Ye Xun slowly retreated, returned to the house as if nothing had happened, sat on the sofa and pondered Ding Ning's conversation with himself before he died, to see if it was that sentence that angered the other party, so he killed Ding Ning?
