Chapter 173: The Great River Comes at Night
Wei Jie said: "We already have a suspect, and this time we came to you to find evidence, as long as there is evidence, we will arrest people immediately."
Last night, the Wang family sent fifteen people to set fires, and I arrested them, and another murderer was also arrested by me.
The disappearance of the two city lords who took office and the shipwreck case are suspected of the conspiracy between the Wang family and the city lord Zhou Yan. As long as the murderer is caught, the two masterminds will not be able to escape. ”
The boat boss was overjoyed: "Linjing has been dark all these years, and Zhou Yan and Wang Jiazao will account for more than half of the sins. As long as these two first evils can be punished, the people of Linjing will see the light of day again. ”
Wei Jie: "The new city lord was drowned by a shipwreck in this river, and it was broad daylight, did your brothers see it when it happened?" ”
The second captain of the boat: "See, the new city lord is on the same boat with the bodyguards, a total of twelve people and five horses." The city lord's boat was more than twenty feet ahead of our ferry, and our ferry boat was behind it, and our guests in the transition saw the city lord's boat gradually sink into the water. ”
Wei Jie: "Do you know the cause of the shipwreck?" ”
Boat boss: "Others don't know, those of us who have been begging for a living in the water all year round can see at a glance that someone has chiseled through the bottom of the boat underwater, and the boat enters the water, and the water sinks as soon as there is too much." ”
In such a turbulent current, we can still scuttle a boat, this kind of water kung fu is too powerful, there are very few such powerful characters, so we locked up a person, but we have to prove it, how can we find evidence? ”
Boat Boss: "Donkey, you wait, talk to my brother, I'll be back in a while, we must find a way to help you find evidence." ”
Wei Jie didn't know what the second boat boss was going to do, but he believed that he had his own ideas, so he nodded and said, "Okay, you do your thing, I'll talk to the boat boss." ”
The second captain went out for about ten minutes, and then returned to the ferry with a man in his thirties. This man is of medium to high height, with a pair of eyes shining, and at first glance he looks like a person with cultivation.
Wei Jie saw that this middle-aged man was actually a master in the middle of the Immortal Emperor Realm, so he looked at this man with a smile.
The second captain of the boat introduced Wei Jie and said: "Horse, this is our water kui here, the great name Deng Yun. When I told him about the horse's visit, he volunteered to serve him. ”
Deng Yun bowed to Wei Jie and said to Wei Jie: "The horse is known all over the world, and he is the hero of the world today.
To tell you the truth, I was on the river when the shipwreck happened, and when I saw the ship sinking, I hurriedly went into the water to save people.
As you know, the river is three or four miles wide, and the current in the center of the river is so strong that when I swam to the wreck, the people in the boat were gone.
I guess they were all dead, I followed the current to look for the drowning people or corpses, but I saw four or five, but they were all dead, strangely all of them were wiped on their necks, and the fresh water was washed downstream with the corpses until there was no trace.
I was wondering how I had come back, when I didn't expect a man dressed in water to suddenly stab me with a water splitting stinger. In a hurry, I sprang up a few feet, and the man pounced into the air, and then came back to attack me, and I had already drawn my dagger with me.
From the other party's methods and ruthlessness, it can be seen that the man is a master in the water, and this person must kill me, so I will be extra careful. I rushed to the right, pretending to be in a hurry to escape.
When the man saw me fleeing, he did not give up, and pursued me closely, and I knew that this man had taken me as the one who had slipped through the net, and that he had to be removed.
I've avoided it, and you're going to kill me, I really think I'm muddy, so bullying. I was also angry, and immediately stopped moving, and when the man's water thorn stabbed, I quickly dodged and reached the man's back. With his hand outstretched, the dagger stabbed at the man.
The man's head scurried forward, dodging the dagger with his upper body, but leaving his feet within the dagger's power range. I slammed the dagger down and stabbed him in the lower belly of the leg.
I was about to give him another dagger, but another man dressed in water came and attacked me diagonally. I saw that these people were prepared for a long time, and I don't know how many, but I was afraid that I would be outnumbered and suffer from them, so I had to escape.
If the colt has a suspect, you can see if he has a wound in the leg, which is also one of the evidences. ”
Wei Jie was overjoyed, and he could verify the biggest suspect according to this, the water monkey. I said thank you to Deng Yun repeatedly!
Deng Yun said: "I'll go underwater to look for evidence now, and if I find evidence, it's easy to talk." ”
Deng Yun said just do it, got up and stepped out of the ferry and stepped ashore, walking briskly under the starlight, indicating that he also has night vision, and there is no shadow in the blink of an eye.
Wei Jie is very satisfied with Deng Yun, and it is really rare to have this enthusiasm. If he is willing to be an official, after the reshuffle of Linjing, there is a lot of shortage of officials, so let him be an official in Linjing, he should be a very good official.
The boat boss moved the ferry to the place where Deng Yun was launched, waiting for Deng Yun to emerge from the water.
Deng Yun still remembered the location of the wreck, dived into the water, found the wreck, and looked for it in the wreck. The small and soft in the ship was swept away by the assassins, and the two large cabinets did not move, perhaps because they were too heavy, or it could be that Deng Yun's sudden intervention disrupted their steps and abandoned the two large cabinets.
Deng Yun couldn't find anything valuable, so he pulled up two large wooden cabinets. Two large wooden cabinets, each of which is about two hundred catties, are in the hands of Deng Yun, who is cultivating in the Immortal Emperor Realm, as easily as two cardboard boxes.
Deng Yun put the two large wooden cabinets on the big ferry, and the boat boss moved the two cabinets into the cabin, and lit three lamps to make the cabin as bright as day.
The second captain used iron tongs to pry open the lock of the cabinet, and inside one cabinet was gold and silver, and the other cabinet was the token documents of the government. Among them are the seal letter of the new city lord and the documents of the imperial court...... After soaking in the water, there are many things that are blurred.
Wei Jie thought for a while, and hurriedly blew out the lights and asked the boat boss to move the boat away from the ferry dock.
Deng Yun and the eldest brother of the boat looked at Wei Jie suspiciously, not knowing what Wei Jie meant.
When he arrived at the ferry, Wei Jie said that the gold and silver were not that the assassins did not want, but that the murder of the new city lord was during the day, and these things were not easy for the assassins to take out, and if people saw them, the killer would die.
Deng Yun's intervention made them realize the danger, and it was important to save their lives, so they gave up for the time being.
After they returned, the main force of the assassin was stabbed with a dagger by Deng Yun, and the wound needed to be treated, and it could no longer be put into the water. Then I went to the gas refining gate, and the head Mo Shuiqing blew himself up, and the wind was loud, and the assassin was only dormant.
By now, the Assassins were in a state of panic and would come at night to collect gold and silver. I'm guessing he's going to be on the night for a few days, so we're going to have to be prepared to wait for the Assassins to come and catch him.
Several people were skeptical of Wei Jie's analysis, and waited quietly.
In the second half of the night, Wei Jie sighed in surprise, but he didn't expect to be hit by his own words, and Dahe ushered in an uninvited guest.
The big brother of the boat and Deng Yun pricked up their ears together, the big brother of the boat didn't cultivate, and his ear strength was much worse, so naturally he didn't hear anything, but Deng Yun faintly heard footsteps.
In this deep dark night, what is worth visiting by the night walker on the riverside is only the special person Wei Jie said.
Man dies for money, and birds die for food. How could the Assassin not think that the gold and silver treasures were among them?
What Wei Jie didn't expect was that the assassin was in such a hurry, so he came to the bottom of the river to get money.
Wei Jie and Deng Yun both clearly saw a single thin figure dressed in water, came to the river, looked around a few times, and then went into the water, and disappeared into the water in the blink of an eye.
Wei Jie said softly, Now let's go to the riverbank and wait for this uninvited guest, chat with him properly, and talk about some strange things in the world, fairies, foxes, and ghosts.
The four of them sat quietly on the bank of the river where the night came.
The night man had been busy in the water for an hour, but he found nothing, and the two wooden cabinets were gone, and he had taken away anything else to take away.
The night walker was very annoyed, if only he had come a few days earlier, he didn't expect the treasure in the ship to be good for others, who had such a good skill, and the night man remembered the person who stabbed him with a dagger that day, it must be that guy.
