Shen Sanfei disagreed: "This is murder, is it just for this little thing?" If you don't know if there is a hidden secret, maybe it's a love kill or something to grudge against. ”

A hint of an unfathomable smile escaped from the corner of the jade-faced Buddha's mouth, and he said indifferently: "Don't you have handled too many government cases, thinking that there are deep motives behind the murders." To put it bluntly, this is no different from bandits killing people, no matter what your reason is, it's just killing people and getting more goods. It's just that the first one in this Xuanwu Society is a master, and there must be rules, which are much stricter than bandits. ”

Duan Shaoyin sighed: "That's true, sometimes you don't need too many reasons to kill people. For example, the struggle between countries, to put it bluntly, is just a fight for interests, how many blood feuds. ”

The Jade-Faced Buddha nodded and continued, "Do you remember when I said that I was hunted down to a nunnery? The people who chased and killed me at that time were the people sent by the Xuanwu Society. The reason they killed me was just to snatch my Blood Buddha Beads. ”

Shen Sanfei said angrily: "This is ridiculous, these people are blatantly doing this kind of thing, do we still want to let him go?" Can't you ask the leader of the martial arts alliance to come out and bring someone to sweep it away? ”

The jade-faced Buddha smiled bitterly: "Do you know where people are? Their whereabouts are mysterious, and they meet in different places, and if you don't get in there, you don't even know how many of them there are. ”

Duan Shaoyin groaned, "Are you sure you are a member of the Xuanwu Society?" ”

The jade-faced Buddha looked bitter and said helplessly: "I'm just speculating, and there is no substantive evidence." But if that's the case, it's obvious why these people want to frame you. Because they want to break you up, they have a way to attack Madame Jean. ”

Duan Shaoyin was slightly stunned and asked, "Then in this way, isn't she very dangerous?" ”

The jade-faced Buddha said: "Water can carry a boat, and it can also capsize a boat." If you think about it, if they really stare at Mrs. Qin, doesn't that mean that you can also use them in turn and kill them all? ”

Duan Shaoyin exclaimed, "You want me to use her as bait?" The jade-faced Buddha stared at him for a long time, although he didn't speak, but his eyes revealed everything. Duan Shaoyin's heart was complicated for a while, and he didn't know what to do.

Duan Shaoyin returned to the courtyard, and there were more than a dozen guards standing outside the gate of the courtyard. After being admitted to the hospital, Duan Shaoyin learned from Lu Ji that it turned out that Jin Yuanzong specially sent someone over in order to protect Murong Qin. Having said that, Duan Shaoyin couldn't help but be suspicious, this might be because Jin Yuanzong wanted to install someone to confirm that he had cut off contact with Jin Ling'er.

Duan Shaoyin looked at those people and took a look at them. Although these people have a steady pace and a burly figure, they should be people who practice martial arts, but just by thinking about stopping the murderer with superb swordsmanship, they are only afraid that fools will talk about their dreams.

Although Murong Qin didn't like to be watched by outsiders, her subordinates only lingered outside the courtyard, and it was inconvenient for her to interfere with anything. After Duan Shaoyin listened to the ins and outs, he sat on the chair, stared at Murong Qin for a long time, and said, "If you are really targeted, I can't sit still." I want to lure the snake out of the hole, what do you think? ”

Murong Qin's shoulders trembled, his face showed a worried look, and he said in a low voice, "Do you want me to be a bait?" ”

Duan Shaoyin was embarrassed and said, "How do you know? ”

Murong Qin's complexion softened slightly, pursed his lips and chuckled: "You person, if it involves my safety, you always do it first." You will consult with me like this, and you will ask me to cooperate with you. I've really thought about your method, but I'm afraid you won't. ”

Duan Shaoyin sighed: "If I can, I don't want this either." ”

Lu Ji poured wine for him on the side, and interjected: "If you want me to help, just tell me." Whether it's you or Sister Qin, I don't want anything to happen to the two of you. ”

Duan Shaoyin reached out and hugged Lu Ji's small waist, put her into his arms, kissed her lightly on the cheek and said, "You are the same, I don't want to see you involved in disputes." But now that everyone else knows that you live with Qin'er, the murderer may also be targeting you, so you have to be careful. ”

Lu Ji said calmly: "Don't worry, I'm not a three-year-old child, I know how to protect myself." ”

Murong Qin's beautiful eyes looked at Duan Shaoyin deeply, and asked, "You haven't said how to help you yet." ”

Duan Shaoyin firmly held her slender jade hand, leaned to her ear and whispered, "You just need to keep a normal heart." It's just that I want Huan'er to be temporarily separated from you, so that the murderer will take it lightly and think that there is an opportunity. ”

Murong Qin bowed his head and said, "I see, I understand." ”

After a few words of explanation, Duan Shaoyin put his mind at ease. It's just that his hands are starting to get restless again. The two women glared at him angrily, but their faces were full of joy, and they struggled symbolically, and let him do what he wanted. At noon, Duan Shaoyin walked out of the door slowly, and happened to bump into Shen Sanfei coming in a hurry. Shen Sanfei's face was pale, and he was hesitant. Duan Shaoyin felt a chill in his heart and asked, "What happened again?" ”

Shen Sanfei's eyebrows furrowed, and he said helplessly: "Alas, the ghost face book is dead and dead." ”

Duan Shaoyin was slightly stunned, and was stunned on the spot. If it was someone else, he would feel sorry for him at most, but the Jade-Faced Buddha only mentioned yesterday that he was going to kill the ghost-faced scholar, and he died today, which couldn't help but make him feel that something was wrong.

Just when Duan Shaoyin wanted to go to the Jade-Faced Buddha, the Jade-Faced Buddha actually walked towards him from in front of him, as if he had been waiting for a long time. He sighed, "You don't have to think about it, I didn't kill the ghost-faced scholar. ”

Duan Shaoyin thought about it, it did make sense, otherwise there was no need for the Jade-faced Buddha to ask him for help yesterday. Duan Shaoyin frowned and said, "Could it be someone from the Xuanwu Society?" ”

The jade-faced Buddha sighed: "The method of death is the same as before, if you say that it is not, it is far-fetched." ”

Duan Shaoyin asked, "Where did he die, can you take me there?" ”

The jade-faced Buddha was puzzled at first, and then suddenly realized. His heart moved, and he said in a deep voice: "Look at your appearance, could it be that you suspect that the dead man is not a ghost-faced scholar?" ”

Shen Sanfei on the side said disapprerovingly: "Even if it's not me, we don't know him well, I'm afraid we won't recognize him." ”

Duan Shaoyin sighed lightly: "It's always better to take a look." ”

The three of them reached a consensus, and quickly moved their feet to the abandoned firewood room where the corpses were placed. In addition to the old man Yunyan and Lu Zhongfeng who were placed elsewhere in the firewood room, Wang Qi, Mrs. Saihua, Hao Laojiu, Blind Ah Qi and the ghost-faced scholar were covered with white cloths, lined up, which looked particularly terrifying.

Shen Sanfei waved his hand and sent the guards away, and the three of them entered. Duan Shaoyin squatted down and carefully looked at the corpse of the ghost-faced scholar. Dozens of swords were slashed on his face, and his original handsome appearance was gone. There was still a fatal sword hole in his back, killing him instantly.

Duan Shaoyin shook his head and said, "Alas, you are right, I really can't see it." ”

Shen Sanfei patted him on the shoulder and comforted: "Don't worry, it's normal that you can't see it." Before I went to you, I had my brother inspect it carefully, not only on his clothes, but also on his physical features. But your idea is not bad, because the ghost-faced scholar is a loner, and indeed few people are familiar with him, and it is not impossible to say that this corpse is fake. ”

The jade-faced Buddha said unhappily: "Can no one prove it?" ”

Shen Sanfei shook his head, shrugged his shoulders and said, "It is said that among the Eight Scholars, the Ghost-faced Scholar and Mrs. Saihua are better, but since Madame Saihua is dead, no one can recognize the body. ”

Duan Shaoyin thought for a long time and asked, "Where did the ghost face scholar die?" When did you die? ”

After Shen Sanfei pondered for a long time, he said word by word: "The ghost-faced scholar was found outside the courtyard, and he was alone at the time. It is said that the watchman found him lying in a pool of blood, so he hurried to report it. ”

The jade-faced Buddha remembered something and asked, "It is rumored that the ghost-faced scholar has a ghost book that records martial arts anecdotes, I wonder if he still has this book on him?" ”

Shen Sanfei said in a deep voice: "Alas, it should have been taken away." ”

Duan Shaoyin retorted: "I'm not sure if this book is really on him, how do you know that someone took it?" ”

Shen Sanfei flipped through the belt of the ghost-faced scholar, took out a leather bag, and explained: "The shape and size of this skin bag happens to be about the same as a book. And I asked someone to verify that there should have been a book in this bag. If that's the case, it's what you call a ghost book. ”

The jade-faced Buddha sighed: "It's really a creation to make people, the Xuanwu Society that once chased and killed me actually stabbed my enemy with blood." ”

Duan Shaoyin shook his head and said disapprerovingly: "This may not be. If this leather bag really contains books, why did Xuanwu not take the whole book when he took it, but only the book inside? ”

The Jade-Faced Buddha explained: "This is the consistent style of the Xuanwu Society, and I am deeply afraid that others will not know that they have taken things. They take these treasures only to be entrusted by others, or to sell them on the black market. Buyers are wary and they will doubt the authenticity. ”

Shen Sanfei clapped his hands and shouted: "I understand, they did this on purpose, just to let people let out the wind." This way, the buyer will be sure that the person has been killed and the things have been taken by the Xuanwu Society. ”

The jade-faced Buddha nodded and said, "Yes, I didn't think it would be difficult for me not to break it, but you can still understand." ”

Shen Sanfei took a sip and said unhappily: "Who are you and me, I am also the chief arrester of the Yamen, and I can understand this little thing after a little scrutiny." In short, at least we confirmed that the other party was murderous. ”

Although Duan Shaoyin felt that something was wrong, he couldn't say it. At this moment, he suddenly discovered the clue. Duan Shaoyin stood up and said firmly: "No, this person is not a ghost-faced scholar. ”

The jade-faced Buddha was surprised and said, "Why do you say this? ”

Duan Shaoyin's eyes moved to the corpse, and he said calmly: "The ghost-faced scholar wears a mask all year round, and this mask is mainly hung on his ears, so there will be a strangulation mark. But the corpse's ears were intact, and it didn't look like a masked man. ”

The Jade-Faced Buddha looked at it carefully and echoed, "Yes, this person does not look like a person who has been wearing a mask for many years. Not only that, but I also noticed one thing. Because of his narcissism, the ghost-faced scholar suspects that others are trying to murder him, so he wears a silver ring. He used to use a silver ring to test it first when he drank to avoid being drugged. ”
