Chapter 11: The Dead Zhang Shan

Qian Ziming asked Xiaobei to see what was going on. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

When Xiaobei went upstairs, he saw the young swordsman Li Shaoying standing in front of a guest room with a sword.

The door was open, and the young man's gaze naturally fell on the door.

But in the eyes of the young man, he is no longer high-spirited as before, and he has lost the blood of the young man, only-

Fear!

The boy's eyes were filled with fear.

Xiaobei knew that something bad was happening before he walked to Li Shaoying's side, and asked Li Shaoying while taking hurried steps, "Guest officer, what happened?"

But Li Shaoying didn't answer directly, just repeated a sentence in a trembling voice in a low voice, "No...... Not me!"

Xiaobei became even more anxious when he heard this, and when he came to the door of the guest room where Li Shaoying was standing, he followed his gaze.

I saw a man in the room lying in a pool of blood, with a knife stuck in his chest, and next to it was a vase ornament that had been knocked over and shattered on the ground.

The man who fell to the ground was obviously a dead man, and this dead man was the bald man who had fought for Li Shaoying's life before.

×××

According to the room registration records, the bald man's name is Zhang Shan. And through people who have chatted with Zhang Shan for a few words, I learned that Zhang Shan seems to be a member of the Black Whale Gang in Jiangnan County. This time, I came to Tianliang County alone to meet the [old man], but I heard that the divine sword Li Xing, who had not appeared in the rivers and lakes for a long time, appeared in Huangshi Town, so I decided to come here first just to have a glimpse of the divine sword.

Judging from Zhang Shan's age, there seems to be no problem with seeing Li Xing as an idol to worship. And it was precisely because Zhang Shan commented with others on the superiority and inferiority of Li Xingke and Emei's swordsmanship before, which attracted Emei's disciple Li Shaoying to face him with his sword.

Yan Lu ordered the arrest fast (hereinafter referred to as the catcher) who stayed by his side to check Zhang Shan's body, and it didn't take long for the catcher to report the result to Yan Lu and said, "Back to my lord, I was killed with one blow, and there was no trace of resistance!"

Yan Lu did not immediately respond to the report of the arrester, but looked at the knife on the chest of the corpse in front of him and thought about something, and after a while, he asked the arrester, "Do you say that the murderer will be that young man?"

Catcher replied crisply, and with only two words, "No!"

Yan Lu said, "Of course not, that young man doesn't have such skills...... The knife on the corpse was Zhang Shan's own, and it was inserted into the heart through the gap between the ribs in the chest cavity without a trace of resistance, such precise control...... The realm of martial arts must at least be at the beginning of the Blade!"

Hearing Yan Lu's analysis, he was extremely impressed, because Yan Lu did not come within five steps of the corpse from beginning to end, but at a glance from a distance, he could see that the knife on Zhang Shan's corpse did not touch the ribs.

Yan Lu said again, "Do you think it is possible that it is the same murderer as the previous case in the west of the town?"

But he didn't dare to answer directly this time, and after thinking about it, he still said no, and replied, "Probably not...... It's hard to imagine that a person has such a powerful palm power and can have a sword technique like the Bladeless Realm!"

Yan Lu shook his head and said, "The knife is Zhang Shan's, it doesn't mean that the murderer used a knife." Moreover, the knife technique is generally based on strength, and more chopping moves are used. And the knife inserted in Zhang Shan's chest showed the accuracy of the murderer even more, and it was stabbed, which was more like swordsmanship. ”

Only then did he understand, but he said, "Even if the murderer used swordsmanship, it doesn't mean that the two cases were committed by the same person, and it's rare for someone to be as superb as his swordsmanship!"

Yan Lu said, "But there is a sect that is famous all over the world for its palm and swordsmanship!"

Catch the fast road, "Emei, Li Shaoying, but ......"

Yan Lu smiled and said, "I did say that Li Shaoying doesn't have such strength, but who can guarantee that Longxiang Inn really only has Li Shaoying's Emei disciple?"

At this time, Qian Ziming settled the emotions of the inn guests who had become confused because of the murder case, came to Yan Lu's side, and just heard Yan Lu's analysis, shook his head helplessly, and smiled bitterly.

Yan Lu saw that Qian Ziming reacted like this, and immediately turned to him and asked, "What is the opinion of the little money shopkeeper?"

Qian Ziming was a little embarrassed, because he didn't want to ruin Yan Lu's image in the hearts of his subordinates, and he didn't want to overturn his seemingly accurate inference, so he chose to remain silent.

Yan Lu saw that Qian Ziming didn't speak, but he was a little anxious in his heart, and put his arm on Qian Ziming's arm and said, "You don't have to take care of my face, but it's okay to say it!"

Qian Ziming originally thought that Yan Lu was a good-looking person, otherwise how could he be covered with all kinds of gold and jade jewelry. But when he heard Yan Lu say this, he changed his opinion of Yan Lu again, and it turned out that Yan Lu would put down his mind for the case in his hand.

Qian Ziming had no choice but to say, "First of all, the Emei disciple has always been proud and protective of himself, and he will never let Zhang Shan insult his master, nor will he ignore Li Shaoying, a fellow disciple who is in danger, so there must be only one Emei disciple in this inn, Li Shaoying......; All indications indicate that the murderer is very likely to be someone who knew Zhang Shan. Taking advantage of Zhang Shan's unpreparedness, the murderer pulled out the knife that Zhang Shan hung on his waist and accurately stabbed Zhang Shan in the chest, but broke a vase in the process, indicating that the murderer's knife skills and swordsmanship were not really accurate!"

Yan Lu said, "Is it possible that the two cases were committed by the same person?"

Qian Ziming said, "It's still possible." ”

Yan Lu asked, "Why?"

Qian Ziming said, "There are many places on a person's body that can quickly kill people, but the murderers in both cases are ...... destroying the heart of the deceased."

Yan Lu interrupted, "Isn't it a coincidence?"

Qian Ziming shook his head and said, "This time the murderer used a knife, but if you use a knife, it seems that it is easier to directly stab the other party in the neck than to stab the heart, and the murderer seems to be too obsessed with the heart!"

Yan Lu said, "Then you say, who might be the murderer?"

Qian Ziming smiled and said, "Yan Da catches the head, you are too embarrassed for me, where can I find a murderer for you?"

Yan Lu also smiled and said, "I mean, who do you think the murderer is?"

Qian Ziming said, "Of course, we have to start from the people who have too much contact with Zhang Shan, but at present, it seems that the most suspicious person is that Emei disciple Li Shaoying!"

Yan Lu asked, "Why is it still Li Shaoying?"

Qian Ziming replied, "Don't forget, people with the Bladeless Realm can hide their strength at will. Sometimes a person's martial arts realm is not as humble as he appears...... Moreover, who said that Li Shaoying must be a disciple of Emei?"
