Lin Fan and Cheng Pu found nothing in the city, and then came to the scene of the crime in the mouth of Miss Ma, at this time the street was empty, and the surroundings were pitch black, and they could only barely see through the faint moonlight, which was in stark contrast to the bright lights of the modern night.

The evening breeze whispered in his ears, mixed with the chirping of insects around him, Lin Fan shivered, feeling a little crazy, just about to get closer to Cheng Pu, the sound of a gong suddenly sounded behind him, which frightened Lin Fan to jump up instantly, only to feel that his scalp was numb, and his hair seemed to stand up, he quickly turned around and found that it was the husband.

"Damn, don't you know that the big brother is scary and scared to death? Don't you walk without a sound? Lin Fan said angrily.

"Hey, this son, the little old man's steps are not light." The husband bent his waist and opened his mouth to argue.

"I've noticed it a long time ago, Brother Lin's husband was born in heaven and earth, so why be afraid? You're making a bit of a fuss, aren't you? Cheng Pu saw that Lin Fan was frightened, and reached out to pat Lin Fan's back and said in relief.

"Childe's night is not peaceful, you go home early, be careful not to run into murderers." The husband kindly mentioned a few words, and then he was about to leave.

"Since you know that there are murderers at night, and you go out every night to fight until dawn, aren't you afraid?" Lin Fan slowed down and questioned.

The husband sighed and said, "I'm afraid, of course I'm afraid, but who made me a husband, no matter how afraid I am, I have to come out to work, I'm more afraid of being poor than a murderer, and I'm more afraid that I won't have anything to eat tomorrow." With that, the husband moved away.

"Brother Cheng, don't you think there's a problem with changing your husband?" Lin Fan kept looking at the back of the husband, and asked after he walked away.

"No, I looked at this person just now, this husband is not only old, but he doesn't seem to have practiced martial arts, but I'm worried that he will meet that murderer." Cheng Pu shook his head and said slowly.

"You don't understand, high-end hunters often appear as prey, I just noticed that the husband's hands are full of calluses, and he should often do hard work, and although he is old, he still has the strength. Don't you think that playing this profession is the best cover? No matter where he goes at night, he will not be suspected, and even after discovering the target, he can continue to wander as if nothing had happened after killing someone. Lin Fan stroked his chin and said matter-of-factly.

"Hahaha, Brother Lin, you won't be the monster husband who scared you just now, and you want to announce your personal vendetta," Cheng Pu quipped.

Lin Fan pursed his lips, his heart was punctured by Cheng Pu, quite embarrassed, he was indeed a little annoyed by what happened just now, and subconsciously suspected that he was a husband, but he felt that what he said was not unreasonable, and he was just about to open his mouth to defend himself, when a gust of wind blew, Lin Fan sniffled, and seemed to smell a rancid smell.

Lin Fan subconsciously glanced at Cheng Pu and found that he also had a serious face, obviously it was not his illusion just now, and Cheng Pu also smelled a strange smell. The two of them looked at each other and began to split up and search the neighborhood, trying to find the source of the smell. Although it is possible that the garbage has rotted and deteriorated, it is also possible that there is a strange smell of corpses nearby.

After some searching, Lin Fan found a wooden barrel in the corner, after Lin Fan approached, he found that the wooden barrel exuded a strong stench, and the smell came from here, he reached out and opened the lid of the barrel with a disgusted face, and looked inside, it didn't matter, Lin Fan was so frightened that he sat on the ground, only to feel a cold air rushing to the Tianling Gai, and his brain buzzed as if it was about to explode.

Lin Fan shivered on the ground as he moved his hands and feet backwards, trying to escape from the barrel. In the barrel lay a corpse, the body detached and crawling with maggots.

Cheng Pu noticed Lin Fan's strange appearance, hurried over in a few steps, and said with concern: "What's the matter, Brother Lin?" ”

Lin Fan's face twitched, and he trembled and raised his finger to the wooden barrel and said, "Inside, there is a dead man inside!" ”

Cheng Pu was startled after hearing this, walked to the wooden barrel and looked at it, then raised his eyebrow stick, smashed the wooden barrel with a stick, and the corpses and blood in it spilled out, and the big human head rolled to Lin Fan's feet, and the dead man's eyes widened, as if he was staring at Lin Fan, so frightened that he almost turned his back on his back.

"Strange, when was this corpse? Haven't you heard that the murderer has committed another crime recently? Brother Lin, why don't you get up, it's so cold on the ground. Cheng Pu observed the corpse for a while without changing his face, looked at Lin Fan and asked strangely.

At this moment, Lin Fan couldn't feel his legs anymore, he only felt cold all over his body, his body stiffened, and the cold sweat on his head slowly fell, begging: "Cheng, Cheng... Brother Cheng, come and help me, my legs are weak. ”

Cheng Pu sneered, walked to Lin Fan's side and dragged him up, and said helplessly: "Brother, you...."

Lin Fan was extremely frightened, his five senses were alert at this time, and he vaguely felt that there were people around him staring at him, he looked around and found that in the corner of the wall not far away, there was a man in white who was hiding behind the wall and looking here, and turned around and ran after realizing that he was discovered.

"Brother Cheng! There's someone there, you leave me alone, maybe it's the murderer, you catch up with him! Lin Fan pointed in the direction of the man's escape and shouted anxiously.

Cheng Pu also seemed to hear the footsteps of someone fleeing, and the whole person rushed out like an arrow, and lost his trace in an instant.

"That's not right! Brother Cheng, you're back! Don't leave me alone! Come back soon! You're back! After Cheng Pu left, Lin Fan realized that he was left with the corpse at this time, so frightened that his hair stood on end, and his adrenaline soared, and he also chased after him, shouting angrily as he ran.

At this time, Lin Fan's running speed was definitely the fastest moment in twenty years, and the rabbits were all his grandsons.

After chasing a street, Lin Fan saw that Cheng Pu had subdued the man, the man fell to the ground on his back, Cheng Pu pointed his finger on his throat with a Qi Mei stick, and he didn't dare to move.

"Whew... Whew, mom, I'm tired to death, how is Brother Cheng? Is he a murderer? Lin Fan asked breathlessly.

Cheng Pu glanced at Lin Fan, slowly withdrew the stick with a solemn expression, shook his head and said: "It's not like, I fought with him just now, and I knocked him down with one move, his body is weak and he doesn't have the slightest martial arts, it can't be a murderous demon." ”

Lin Fan also looked at the man in white, only to see that his face was pale, his thin skin and tender flesh were weak, not so much a murderous demon, but more like a name...

"How could I be a murderer! I'm just a scholar! The man who fell to the ground sat up with difficulty, looked up at Cheng Pu and glared angrily.

Sure enough, the scholar's words confirmed Lin Fan's conjecture, he didn't guess that this man was really a scholar, he had seen all kinds of people today, without exception, there were some calluses on his hands, only this man had delicate hands, he seemed to have never done rough work, and he was really inferior only to read high, Lin Fan looked at this little white face with disdain, and mocked in his heart.

"In the middle of the night, you don't study and sleep at home, what are you doing running out?" Lin Fan questioned.

"It's... Do you have to say it? The scholar said without saying anything.

"Nonsense, even if you are not a murderer, you are suspicious of appearing next to the corpse in the middle of the night, if you can't prove your innocence, follow me to the yamen, you have the right to remain silent, but every word you say will be used as evidence in court!"

"I... Actually, I'm looking for a murderer. The scholar replied in despair, and as if he had said that, he breathed a sigh of relief, and his body changed from tense to relaxed sitting against the wall.

"Huh? Just you? Still looking for a murderer? Didn't you give it for nothing? Don't send it if your brother is obscene! Lin Fan said in disbelief.

The scholar raised his head, looked at Lin Fan with a stubborn expression, and said solemnly: "I know that I may not be the opponent of the murderer, but even if I die, as long as I can drag the murderer at the cost of my life, so that the people who rushed to hear the news can catch him, or see the true face of the murderer, I will die as he deserves!" ”

"You... Brother, what kind of grudge do you have, do you want to exchange one for one with the murderer? Lin Fan asked in surprise.

"I can't hide it, I actually like Miss Ma for a long time, I heard that she was almost killed, so I am ready to come here every night, hoping to catch the murderer, I know that the murderer will definitely find a way to kill the witnesses, as long as he is not caught for a day, Miss Ma will be in danger of life at any time. I have no fame, I am a useless scholar, marrying a man and marrying a man, dressing and eating, I have a poor family, what face do I have to propose to her, how to give her stability and happiness? I studied hard in the cold window, and I wanted to get fame and officially proposed to her, but now that this happened, if she was killed, what is the point of me even if I have fame? I can't imagine how you would live without her, brother, if you have a woman you love deeply, would you be willing to fight for her? If you like someone, you willingly do it for it, and go against your instincts to forget life and death. Saying that, the scholar seemed to be a little emotional, and unconsciously burst into tears.

Lin Fan put away his contempt, bent down to support the scholar, and said sincerely: "Ask what is the situation in the world, the direct sect promises life and death, son, you go back first, believe me, I will definitely find the murderer as soon as possible!" When the dust settles, I will tell Miss Ma that there is an infatuated man who loves her deeply, and in order to marry her one day, he can give up his bright future and would rather give up his life for her. ”

"Don't! Other! Don't tell her that, I'll be shameless if you do. The scholar blushed with shame, and hurriedly waved his hand and said.

"Haha, I know, I know, you can go back." Lin Fan smiled and pushed the scholar, and after seeing him leave, he sat on the ground with a solemn expression, closed his eyes and began to meditate.

"Brother Lin, who are you?" Cheng Pu saw Lin Fan suddenly sitting on the ground, and asked a little overwhelmed.

Lin Fan made a silent gesture to Cheng Pu and explained: "Don't speak, I seem to have some clues, let me think about it." ”

After Cheng Pu heard this, he hurriedly took a few steps back, looking at his nose, nose and mouth, and mouth and heart no longer making a sound, lest he disturb Lin Fan.

The testimony of the servant, the butcher found by Cheng Pu, the gossip of the bazaar, the testimony of eyewitnesses, the situation at the scene of the crime, the corpse that suddenly appeared, and the scholar who had just chased the murderer, Lin Fan felt that some thoughts were in his mind, and they were about to be connected into a line, what was the truth? Who exactly is the murderer? Suddenly, a flash of inspiration occurred in Lin Fan's mind, he looked at Cheng Pu who was stunned on the side, and said slowly: "Brother Cheng, I know who the murderer is." ”
