Chapter 80: Homicide
"How is this possible? When he was in the restaurant at noon yesterday, he was fine, why was he killed this night? What was the reason for his murder? Besides, yesterday was the first day of the Lunar New Year, so it was impossible for Wu Huoyun to go anywhere, could he still be killed at home?"
Hearing that his friend for many years suddenly suffered a tragic accident, Li Quansheng felt that he couldn't believe it at all, and after hearing Li Gan's words, he suddenly got up from the stool and asked.
"As for the reason, everyone is not very clear, at this time the whole town is talking about it, all speculating about why he was killed, some people say it is for money, some people say it is because of women, but there are different opinions, no one can convince the other party. As for the place where Wu Huoyun was killed, it was indeed at home, he was killed in his sleep. ”
Hearing his father's eagerness, Li Gan didn't dare to sell anything at all, so he quickly told him some of the things he had heard on the way.
"At home? This is even more impossible, who doesn't know that this Wu Huoyun's house is a high-walled and deep courtyard, heavily guarded, and ordinary people can't enter it at all. Besides, there are two personal bodyguards with strong martial arts by his side to protect him closely, and it is difficult for ordinary people to even get close to him, so how can they be harmed?"
Hearing that Wu Huoyun was killed while he was sleeping at home, Li Quansheng's face was full of disbelief.
"On the way over, I heard someone say that it was this morning, because the people of Wu Huoyun's family saw that it was already past breakfast time, and Wu Huoyun and his wife did not come out to eat as usual, and they felt strange in their hearts and were ready to wake him up.
When the person stood outside the bedroom of Wu Huoyun and his wife, the door was closed, and he knocked on the door with his hand for a long time, but there was no sound and no response inside.
I tried to push the door, but I found that the door of this room did not move at all, and it should have been bolted with a latch from the inside.
After summoning other people to knock open the door and enter, what entered the eye socket was the blood-stained sheets and quilt covers in the room, and Wu Huoyun and his wife were both lying in a pool of blood in their middle clothes.
Everyone stepped forward to take a look, only to find that Wu Huoyun and his wife had been stabbed several times in their bodies, and they had long lost their breath.
Judging from the situation at the scene, both of them were killed in their sleep. But what is strange is that when everyone came in, they found that the doors and windows of Wu Huoyun's room were closed. The room was also neat and tidy, and there was no trace of turning, and there was no loss of the family's belongings. It doesn't seem like the murderer came for the money. ”
Under the inquiring eyes of everyone in the hall, Li Gan vividly recounted what he had heard.
"What about his two bodyguards? Doesn't it mean that Wu Huoyun's two bodyguards usually protect him personally? Could it be that the two of them, who live in the next room, haven't heard any movement all night?"
In any case, this Wu Huoyun is a celebrity in the town, and the two black-clothed bodyguards who are inseparable from him all day long are even more impressive.
At this time, hearing that Wu Huoyun and his wife were killed by others in their sleep, all the listeners felt incredible.
Because the two bodyguards with evil faces who were with Wu Huoyun all day long, the cultivation of the pinnacle of status can be said to be unsurpassed in the entire Tangjiang Town, and in everyone's cognition, no one can be unfavorable to Wu Huoyun under the noses of these two bodyguards.
After seeing Wu Huoyun and his wife killed, the people were all panicked. It is strange that the scene is so noisy, and the figures of these two bodyguards do not appear. Later, someone ran to the room where the two bodyguards lived next to them to look for them, but found that the whole room was empty, and their quilts were neatly folded, indicating that they had not rested in the room at all last night.
But according to what the subordinates of the Wu Mansion saw with their own eyes last night, the two bodyguards obviously entered their rooms to rest, and they didn't see them walk out of the room all night, and these two people seemed to disappear out of thin air for no reason. ”
In the face of everyone's doubts, Li Gan also said everything he had heard, but his answer not only did not eliminate everyone's doubts, but made everyone feel more puzzled.
"Is that because these two bodyguards absconded after killing Wu Huoyun and his wife?"
"It's completely impossible! The two of them must have a reason to kill Wu Huoyun, for money, for love, or for hatred between them?"
Hearing that Wu Huoyun's two personal bodyguards disappeared quietly, some people speculated that it might be the family thieves who brutally killed Wu Huoyun and his wife.
But before he could say his thoughts, someone immediately refuted it.
This is because in the impression of everyone in Tangjiang Town, Wu Huoyun's two bodyguards followed him for a short day or two. Since the first day Wu Huoyun left the Ministry of Industry and returned to Tangjiang, these two people have been following him, and they have always been loyal to Wu Huoyun, guarding Wu Huoyun's side for decades and never abandoning him. No matter how others tempted and bribed the two of them, neither of them ever thought of leaving or betraying Wu Huoyun.
And this Wu Huoyun was able to quickly break out of the world in Tangjiang Town, and having such a large share of power was inseparable from the two of them fighting hard for him. The relationship between Wu Huoyun and these two has long gone beyond the ordinary employment relationship, but is more like a family.
Therefore, it is rumored throughout Tangjiang Town that these two subordinates of Wu Huoyun are the two Jiangyang thieves he saved through his relationship when he was in the Ministry of Industry, and these two people are also willing to follow him in order to repay Wu Huoyun for saving his life.
Now I suddenly heard someone say that maybe these two people were the murderers of Wu Huoyun and his wife, which suddenly made people feel completely unacceptable.
"If it wasn't the two of them who killed them, then why did they disappear?"
Although the loyalty of Wu Huoyun's two subordinates is well known to the world, the mysterious disappearance at this critical time also makes people think about it.
"Now everyone is also speculating here, maybe the truth will be revealed when these two subordinates of Wu Huoyun are found, and all the problems will surface. ”
Some people are keen to speculate on the real cause of the murder of Wu Huoyun and his wife, but others disdain to speculate and just want to know the real result.
Now all the people in the Wu family are looking for these two people, and Wu Huoyun's two sons-in-law are offering a reward of 5,000 taels of silver to find these two people. You only need to walk to the town, no matter where you are, you can find the notice posted by the Wu family. But so far, there have been no clues, and the two of them seem to have been vaporized, and no one has seen them at all since last night. When I came back, I also heard that Wu Huoyun's eldest son-in-law was sending people to the mercenary branch in Qiancheng, preparing to issue a bounty mission there and trace the traces of these two people throughout the Shenlong Empire. ”
In the end, Li Gan broke the news again, saying that the Wu family was ready to issue a mission to search for these two missing subordinates nationwide.
"Since the Mercenary Guild has been found, these two people will definitely be able to get it back. ”
"Since these two are hiding, it seems that nine times out of ten these two people did it. ”
"To be honest, this Wu Huoyun is not thin on these two people, why did these two people hurt Wu Huoyun and his wife. ”
"Why are you thinking so much here, everything will be clear when you catch these two people. ”
"I said these two are white-eyed wolves that can't be raised. ”
Hearing that these two of Wu Huoyun's subordinates would have disappeared, there was no news at all, and at this time, everyone in the hall listed these two people as key suspects, and the only thing they couldn't understand now was what the motive of these two people was for killing.
"Well, everyone is not a quick arrest of the yamen, and there is no need to discuss the real reason why Wu Huoyun and his wife were killed. In this way, Lao Gan, you will go to the Wu family in a moment to inquire, where is the mourning hall of Wu Huoyun and his wife going to be set up? When are you going to mourn? My old friend for so many years is gone, and now that he is gone, I will go to pay my respects no matter what. ”
Seeing that everyone in this family was talking and arguing happily, Li Quansheng thought that his friend for many years had suffered such a misfortune, and this was not a good feeling in his heart, and after speaking out to stop everyone from continuing to discuss, he asked Li Gan to go to find out where the mourning hall of Wu Huoyun and his wife was, and prepare to go to worship in person.
