Chapter 11: A Clue
By the time Moonfall returned to her room, the Ghost Hand had already returned. Seeing Yueluoying walk in, the ghost figure stepped forward and asked, "Where have you been?" Yueluoying shook her head and told her what had just happened. The Ghost Hand sighed, "You're a fool. Yue Luoying asked, "What did you go out to inquire about?"
The two of them sat down, and the ghost hand said, "Miss Fan Xiang's whereabouts have not yet been settled. However, I heard something big. Yue Luoying asked, "What's the matter?" The ghost hand said, "The beggar gang's gang leader election this time, I'm afraid it's not that simple. Not long ago, Qu Lin died. And the beggar gang completely blocked this matter and did not track down the murderer. This matter, I'm afraid that only Ye Tianlun, the old fool, doesn't know about this matter. ”
Yue Luoying said: "You mean to say that Qu Lin is dead, and the entire beggar gang is hiding from Senior Ye? But why is this?"
The ghost hand said: "I don't know why, but what is certain is that the murderer is definitely not Old Man Li." ”
Yue Luoying said: "Now the entire beggar gang is probably the only one who can threaten Old Man Li the most, if it weren't for him, who else could there be?" In the days after Qu Lin's death, Old Man Li was far away in southern Xinjiang, and he had no time to come back and kill people. Even if he arranges for someone to attack Qu Lin, I don't think it's too late in time. Yue Luoying nodded and said, "The whole thing is very complicated now. First of all, we know that there is a beggar gang disciple who secretly colludes with the coyote gang. Since the big boss of the Coyote Gang has said that he wants to clean up the portal for this matter, it means that the Coyote Gang is being used. If it wasn't Old Man Li who was planning behind all this, then there must be someone who wanted to be unfavorable to the beggar gang. The Ghost Hand said, "You're right. Since you promised the Coyote Gang to investigate this matter, what should we do next?" Yue Luoying thought for a moment and said, "Now that we only know about that suspicious little beggar, it is better to start with him first." ”
The next day, Moonfall and Ghost Hand went out into the street to find the little beggar. That beggar was a low-level disciple of the Beggar Gang, and even if there was to hold such a grand event as the Gang Leader Conference, it would not be his turn to participate. At such times, low-level beggar disciples would sleep or beg on the streets, and it was not difficult to find him. Sure enough, the two looked for it for a short time and saw the figure of the beggar on a busy street. Yue Luoying said: "Let's be careful and follow him quietly. ”
The little beggar was no different at this time, just sleeping lazily on the street. There was a broken bowl in front of him, and from time to time passers-by would throw a copper plate into it. Yue Luoying looked at it for a while and found that this little beggar breathed evenly and intermittently, not like an ordinary person. At this time, the ghost pointed to the little beggar's waist for Yue Luoying to see. Yue Luoying looked over and saw a small wooden box pinned to the little beggar's waist. Moonfall said, "Can you bring that box over?" I saw the ghost hand walk over naturally, and when he passed by the little beggar, he staggered, and his figure disappeared, and then he stood up straight and walked back. The small wooden box was already in the Haunted Hand's hand. Yue Luoying took the wooden box and opened it to see that there was a letter inside, and the signature was a skeleton pattern. The Ghost Hand said, "This is the totem on the door of the Coyote Gang. Yue Luoying nodded and opened the letter. There is only one sentence written on it: Zishi broke the temple and delivered it. The ghost hand wondered, "What does this mean?" Yue Luoying thought for a moment and said, "Tomorrow is the general election of the gang leader, presumably this little beggar is going to meet someone tonight." Broken Temple...... Could it be the ruined temple outside the south of the city? No matter what, you and I will go and see what is going on. Put this back on, don't startle the snake. ”
The ghost hand skillfully put the wooden box back on the little beggar's body, and the two of them walked around the city a few more times, and then returned to the inn after making no major discoveries.
Until midnight, Moonset Ying and the Ghost Hand appeared in the ruined temple in the south of the city. The two of them lowered their breathing, for fear of being discovered. It was dark and quiet, and there was no human figure. At this time, the ghost's hand and nose touched, and he smelled a trace of blood. He pulled Yue Luoying and whispered, "Go inside and have a look." The two men jumped on the roof, gently picked up a tile, and looked down the hole, and what appeared in sight was a headless corpse. The smell of blood became even heavier, and looking at the blood flowing, it was clear that it had just been killed.
"It's late. Yue Luoying said.
The Ghost Hand looked around and said, "Let's go down and have a look." ”
The two of them jumped down from the roof and walked directly into the ruined temple. Two men walked up to the corpse, the headless corpse had a jagged severed neck, multiple wounds on its body, and rotten flesh on its fingers, as if it had been engaged in a fierce struggle. The ghost hand said, "The person who did it was so ruthless. Yue Luoying wondered: "Whose corpse could this be?" The murderer unscrewed off his head, deliberately not wanting others to know his identity. In other words, this person should be a person with status. The ghost hand said, "However, if you don't want to be known, wouldn't it be more appropriate to just find a place to dispose of the corpse?" Yue Luoying looked around the corpse and found that there was a rag pressed under the corpse. Yue Luoying picked up the rag and looked at it, and said, "Look, this should be the murderer." I think the murderer must have left in a hurry and didn't have time to dispose of the body, so he screwed his head off. The Ghost Hand nodded and said, "That makes sense, so it will be difficult to identify the body even if it is found." Hmm, do you think it could be the beggar?" Yue Luoying said, "It's not impossible. Huh?" Yue Luoying's gaze looked at the corpse's left hand, which I had formed into a fist, and it seemed that something was lying there. Yue Luoying squatted down and broke the left and right sides of the corpse, and there was a wrench in the palm of the corpse's hand.
"What is this?" said the Ghost Hand curiously.
Yue Luoying picked it up and looked at it, and said, "This is the master of the Ten Thousand Caves." The ghost hand was surprised: "So this is the Ten Thousand Cave Cave Master?" Yue Luoying shook her head and said, "I don't think it should be. If it is the master of the Ten Thousand Caves, this wrench should be worn on his hand, and there is no reason for him to hold it in his hand. "So, it's the murderer's. That means that the master of the Ten Thousand Caves is the murderer?" Yue Luoying said: "I'm afraid it's like this. But I can't figure it out, what does this have to do with that little beggar?" said the ghosthand, "Let's not talk about the little beggar, this result alone is enough to shock me. The Ten Thousand Cave Cave Masters would do such a thing. "I was also shocked. Alright, let's get out of here. Yue Luoying said.
The two left the ruined temple and returned directly to the inn. Yue Luoying took that wrench, he really couldn't figure out how the master of the Ten Thousand Caves would come here to kill people. Who will be the person who was killed? Wandong Cave has always been a famous and upright family in the rivers and lakes, and the owner of Wandong Cave is also a chivalrous person with righteousness. But looking at the corpse, the martial arts used by the murderer and its viciousness are not like the actions of righteous chivalrous. But the finger of the cave master that represents the master of the ten thousand caves is also genuine, if it is not the so-called master of the ten thousand caves, why would it appear in the hands of the deceased?
After returning to the room, Yueluoying kept thinking, but she never understood.
At this time, there was a knock on the door, and the ghost hand went to open the door, and it was none other than the ghost knife Yu Lin who stood outside the door. He angrily walked up to Yue Luoying, tore Yue Luoying's clothes, and said, "You bastard, say! Where did you kidnap our big boss!" Seeing that this was wrong, the ghost hand hurriedly ran over and pulled Yu Lin away. Yueluoying asked, "What do you mean by that?" Yu Lin snorted and said, "Our boss is missing." "But what does this have to do with me?" said Yueluoying. Yu Lin replied: "We found many traces of sword slashing in the room of the big boss, if it weren't for you, who else?" The ghost shadow hand said: "The great master of the Coyote Gang's martial arts must be above the ghost sword, how could it be taken away by the ghost sword? What's more, there are many people who use swords in the world, why do you suspect the ghost sword?" "This ...... This ...... "Yu Lin is at a loss, and he can't say right or wrong."
"When did you big boss disappear?" asked Yueluoying.
Yu Lin said: "How do I know that the brothers who were patrolling in the middle of the night noticed that there was no one in the big boss's room, and we found out. Yueluoying suddenly had a very undesirable idea, could the headless corpse in the ruined temple be the leader of the Coyote Gang? This idea flashed in Yueluoying's mind, because he remembered that the clothes on the corpse were not the clothes of the Coyote Gang. In this way, the disappearance of the coyote gang boss seems to have nothing to do with the headless corpse case of the broken temple. Then the crux of the matter is this wrench.
Yu Lin saw that Yue Luoying didn't speak for a long time, and his heart was anxious, and he said: "Ghost Sword, even if you didn't do this thing, you have to take care of it! If you don't find out our big boss, I'm not done with you!"
Seeing that Yu Lin was so unreasonable, the ghost hand was angry in his heart, and said, "Which one are you? Why do you ask for the ghost sword so much!" "Hmph!" Yu Lin snorted coldly, the long knife behind his back was drawn, and his backhand was on the neck of the ghost hand, so fast that he didn't give him time to react at all. Although the Moonfall Ying who is a ghost sword can keep up, after all, the distance is far, and the ghost shadow hand is standing next to Yu Lin, and Yu Lin can touch it as soon as he beckons, no matter how fast he is, he can't keep up.
Such a long knife could scare the ghost shadow hand, he couldn't believe that the speed of this Yu Lin's sword was almost equal to that of the ghost sword Yue Luoying. "Who the hell are you? The Ghost Hand asked. Yu Lin said: "Ghost Knife!" Yue Luoying said: "Okay, Ghost Knife, I know, I'll help you find it." However, you have to give me some time, the situation is complicated right now, and I need some time to solve it. ”
Yu Lin said, "Okay, I'll give you time." Three days, if you can't find our big boss within three days, even if I chase you to the ends of the earth, I will kill you and use your head to give us the sacrificial wine of the big boss!" After speaking, Yu Lin put away his long knife and turned to leave.
"Ghost Knife? Why haven't I heard of this person......? This kid's strength is really not below you. The Ghost Hand said. Yue Luoying nodded and said, "This person is a little rushed, but his heart is not bad. ”
"Damn...... Why do young people have such strong strength now......" The ghost hand felt very unhappy, closed the door and sighed sullenly. Yue Luoying smiled, patted him on the shoulder, and said, "You are not old, and your strength is also very strong!"
