Chapter 8: The True Murderer
As night falls, a bright moon hangs in the high dome, shedding a soft faint light, and occasionally clouds pass by, blocking the moonlight.
At this moment, there was silence in the Song family, only the squeaks of insects were heard from time to time in the grass, because the family stipulated that it belonged to the curfew time from one and a half hours before midnight until the rooster crowed the next day, and it was not allowed to go out and walk around at will, so at this kind of night time, except for the patrols and high-level figures in the family, there were few people walking around.
At this time, somewhere in the Ming Horn Hall, a black shadow swept by like a ghost, silently, as if he knew the terrain here, and he soon arrived at his destination, a grass house assigned to the servants to rest.
The black shadow swept into the grass house, the movement was extremely cautious, did not make the slightest sound, after entering the house, a slave who was resting in the room was also awakened by this movement, the slave got up and looked, although the light in the room was weak, but judging from the cautiousness of the other party's actions, he could already guess who the other party was.
"You... Why are you here?" the servant stepped forward, whispered a question, and then walked lightly to the crack in the window and looked out, and was a little relieved when he was sure that there was no one.
"Something might have happened, I need to get out of here as soon as possible. The shadow lurking in whispered.
"Out... What's wrong?" the servant was slightly surprised, he looked at the other party's nervous look, it seemed that this matter was indeed not small.
"Haven't you heard about the events of the day?" the black shadow was full of worry in his words, and he said: "Last night, I may have missed something, which caused Song Yi to completely lose his breath, this kid actually came back to life today, and the most terrifying thing is some things after he woke up, you should have heard about it, right?"
"You're saying that it's been spread throughout the Ming Horn Hall today... Young Master Song Yi restored all the things that happened to him being assassinated through various traces of the scene?" The servant knew what the other party was referring to, he nodded, he had heard about this interesting story at noon, but like most people, he felt that this was a child's farce, and this matter... Why did it worry the Shadow Man?
"That's it, I always feel that Song Yi is weird after waking up, how can he have such a weird deduction method? I watched him grow up, so I know very well, today's Song Yi is really terrible, although I haven't seen his deduction with my own eyes, but I always feel... He had sensed that it was me. The more the shadow spoke, the more worried he became.
"It's... I know you're a very cautious person, but this time it's impossible, and if he did find you, you'd have been approached long ago. The servant said to the Shadow, "You may have been overcautious. ”
"But... I'm still not at ease, this kind of thing is not afraid of 10,000 just in case, even if there is only a slight possibility, it also means risk. "The shadow is still worried.
"It's normal to be risky, everything is risky, but have you forgotten what you were told over there? The servant leaned his mouth to the shadow and whispered, "No, you have to think about your own son." ”
"My... Son..."The slave's words pierced the deepest part of the dark shadow man's heart, and in the end he could only sigh:
"Well, two-thirds of my life has passed anyway, and it's lucky to live a little longer. ”
"If only you could figure it out. Seeing that his comfort had worked, the servant prepared to send the shadow man away.
However, just as the black shadow was about to leave with a hint of loss, the originally dark and silent outside the house was suddenly surrounded by countless bursts of firelight, and then a dense sound of footsteps came in from outside.
This sudden scene made the black shadow and the slave like a bird in a caged being alarmed, especially the man of the black shadow, the pores of almost all his body stood up, could it be... Did your worst fears finally come up?
"What's going on... Could it be that your whereabouts have been exposed?" The servant's clear thoughts were also directly disturbed at this moment, if the Black Shadow Man was just afraid, then he was crazy, he had been lurking in the Song family for many years, if it was discovered, then everything would be in vain.
"What should we do? what should we do?" said the black shadow in horror as he looked out of the window, and to his despair, there were actually hundreds of patrolmen standing outside, and the grass hut was already surrounded.
Suddenly, the man of the dark shadow had an idea, he looked at the grass hut, and said, "There is only one way, we will set this grass hut on fire, and then take advantage of the fire to disturb the patrols, and finally take the opportunity to escape." ”
However, the Shadow Man's words were rejected by the slave shaking his head: "No, in this case, it means that our plans for so many years have come to naught. ”
"What? you're... Do you want to continue the plan, our lives are almost gone!" This time it was the dark shadow that went crazy.
"Not necessarily, in fact we have another way than to escape. Speaking of this, the slave also gritted his teeth, like a person who was about to die heroically, he finally made up his mind: "From now on, I am the one who assassinated Young Master Song Yi, and you are the first person to discover me and track me down here." ”
The Man of the Dark Shadow was stunned for a moment, but he had already understood, but he didn't expect this slave to do such a thing for the sake of a plan, even with the spirit of self-sacrifice.
And if you think about it, what the slave said is not wrong, if you sacrifice like this, you can indeed save yourself.
"Alright, let's do it. The Shadow Man nodded, he had no choice.
At the same time, outside the grass house, hundreds of patrols from the Ming Horn Hall have completely blocked all the surrounding road intersections, all of them are holding a torch, and the night that should have been shrouded in darkness suddenly becomes bright, and in the middle of this firelight is the locked grass house.
Leading this large patrol team is Song Wu, the patrol sheriff of the Ming Horn Hall, who is holding a torch at the moment, walking briskly from a side passage, and walking with him, there are several high-level figures with extraordinary status in the Ming Horn Hall, including Song Qing, the master of the Ming Horn Hall, and Song Crack, one of the housekeepers, and Song Mingshan, the treasury manager, among them, except for Song Split, the others Song Yi have already seen during the day, and as one of the important people in tonight's matter, Song Yi will naturally not be absent.
Everyone arrived at Mo about five or six meters away from this thatched hut, their expressions were solemn, and Song Mingshan and Song Split were also talking in a low voice.
"This is it, right?"
Song Qing looked at the grass house in front of him, with his cultivation level, through the perception of the heaven and earth vitality in this area, he could already feel the two breaths in the grass house, one of which was quite powerful, this kind of perception of the vitality was like an infrared scan on the earth in Song Yi's understanding, but in this world, the higher the cultivation, the more sensitive the sense of vitality became, and some people could even detect the breath of others from a distance of thousands of miles.
"That's right, although the vitality fluctuation I sensed just now was very weak, it did stop here in the end. Song Wu also looked at this simple thatched hut and said.
"Brother Qing, is what Song Yi said true? The person who assassinated him, you already know who it is?" Song Mingshan was quite surprised, when he received the news and rushed over, the surprise was on his face, from Song Yi was assassinated to this time, a total of less than ten hours have passed, and in such a short period of time, the assassin has been locked, and what surprised him even more was that the assassin was locked up by the young Song Yi.
How did he do it?
"Hall Master, what should we do next?Will you shock them out directly?" Song Wu asked Song Qing for instructions, tonight's plan was completely arranged by Song Qing and Song Yi, although they had not yet said who the assassin was, but Song Wu already had a guess in his heart, probably a spy slave hidden in the Ming Horn Hall.
It's just a slave, Song Wu doesn't care about it at all, even if he rushes in with his bare hands, he doesn't necessarily know that the other party can get up to him.
Bang!
And just when Song Wu was about to use a strong way to shake the people in the grass hut out, a dull sound suddenly came from the grass hut, and the next moment, I saw that the walls of the grass hut were torn apart, and an embarrassed figure also rolled out of it, such a sudden scene startled some patrols hurriedly took a few steps back, and when they saw that the person who was thrown out was a slave, several patrolmen quickly rushed forward and pressed it to the ground.
What happened quickly made everyone directly enter a state of alert, staring at the grass hut one by one, and then, everyone heard a voice like a sigh of relief coming from the grass hut.
"Whew, it was so dangerous just now. ”
A faint voice came, and under the vigilant eyes of everyone, I saw a middle-aged figure with a somewhat thin figure slowly walking out of the grass hut, and when Song Wu and the others saw the appearance of the person who came out through the firelight, their hearts were shocked.
Because this man turned out to be... In the Ming Horn Hall, one of the two housekeepers alongside Song Split, Song You.
"Song You, you... Why are you here?" Song Wu exclaimed first, he didn't expect Song You to appear in such a place, could it be that...?
"Uh... Why are you here?" However, Song You also showed the same surprise as Song Wu and them, he looked at Song Qing and the others gathered here, and then said: "Just now I found out that there are unknown people walking around in the Ming Hall in secret, which is very weird, so I followed him, and after he was caught, he actually admitted that he was the one who assassinated Young Master Song Yi last night, the more I thought about it, the more angry I became, so I wanted to capture him and bring him to Young Master Song Yi to apologize, huh... You can't have tracked him down, have you?"
Hearing what Song You said, Song Wu and the others also breathed a sigh of relief: "I see, I thought you were the assassin." ”
That's it, the Song family is a family, and Song You is an elder who watched Song Yi grow up since childhood, how could he attack Song Yi? No one believes this kind of thing.
Seeing that everyone believed in him, Song You also walked towards the captured slave, who had just beaten him out of the grass hut, and it was him, and just as he had just taken a step, a faint voice that made his scalp tingle suddenly came from not far away.
"Uncle Song You, you're blaming others and covering up the truth is too sloppy, right?"
This voice made Song You's body tremble, he slowly turned his gaze to look, and after seeing that the speaker turned out to be Song Yi, he couldn't help swallowing his saliva.
And at this moment, Song Yi was looking at himself with a terrifying gaze that seemed to have seen through everything!
