Chapter 35: The Second Homicide

The second homicide finally happened.

When Wu Feng got up in the morning, he wanted to go with Yun Hailan to investigate.

Yun Hailan jumped into the white jade coffin and closed the lid.

Then, the white jade coffin emitted a white cold light, shrinking rapidly, and finally turned into the size of no more than half a palm.

Wu Feng hung it on his belt, and outsiders couldn't see it at all.

Wu Feng did not immediately go to the murder site so as not to attract attention. When there was an exclamation in the valley, people started to discuss, and a large number of disciples of the Forgotten Worry Valley began to gather there, Wu Feng came to the tree-lined path with the flow of people.

A tall old man lay lying on the ground, covered in mud, blood mixed with sludge, staining the dirt a dark red color.

The blood had congealed, and the old man had apparently been dead for several hours.

"It's Grand Elder Cao Jie. Someone shouted.

is another character who is a generation higher than Xiao Yangge.

Cao Jie, Zhong Chu, and Yan She, together known as the Three Elders, are all disciples taught by the same teacher as Ye Zhongnan, and they have always had a close relationship with Ye Zhongnan.

On the boulevard, there were traces of fighting, but not much, just a few broken branches, and some scattered deep footprints and scratches on the road.

When Wu Feng looked closely, there was a kind of footprint, similar to the shape of Cao Jie's sole, undoubtedly this is Cao Jie's footprint, and there is another kind of footprint, which looks very blurry, but it can be distinguished that it was left by the same person. Obviously, when the murderer was fighting, he also paid attention to controlling the strength of his feet, making the footprints blurry and difficult to identify.

After the murderer broke a few branches, he simply broke Cao Jie's neck like a branch.

But Cao Jie's ribs had another injury, which was suddenly slashed by someone with a palm knife, which shocked his internal organs. After everyone turned Cao Jie's corpse over, they saw that, like Ye Zhongnan, Cao Jie's face was full of incredible looks before he died, his eyes seemed to be about to burst out of his sockets, and there was a strong sense of hatred, even after he died, he was still about to burst out like an arrow on a string.

Last night, Xiao Yangge held a meeting, and until very late, Cao Jie was killed on the way back to his residence - Cao Jie's place of residence was quite remote, and at that night, Cao Jie was the only one walking on this road.

Wu Feng made a judgment at the moment: the murderer's combat effectiveness should not be higher than Ye Zhongnan, but it is much higher than Cao Jie. The two victims, both of whom never imagined that the murderer would attack them, were first injured in a sneak attack, and then killed after a fight.

However, it is still impossible to judge whether Li Zhong appeared as an accomplice.

Cultivators can fly for short periods of time, so they don't need to leave footprints. There were only two different footprints at the scene, which could not prove that Li Zhong did not make a move.

Zhong Chu and Yan She, who have always been good friends with Cao Jie, have also arrived, looking at Cao Jie's corpse, tears in their eyes.

Zhong Chu tugged at Xiao Yange's sleeve, snorted and cried, and said with tears in his eyes: "Master Gu and nephew, why do we still refuse to let go of us old things who are about to go to the ground! First Boss Ye, and then Brother Cao, could it be that this murderer must kill us old things before he is willing to give up? Master Gu Master and nephew, you must find out the truth and avenge the two of them!"

Yan She also said with tears in his eyes: "Yes, a few days ago, the four of us were still playing mahjong cards together, but in just a few days, there were two people separated forever!

Xiao Yangge looked serious and said, "This is nature. This murderer is so vicious, after sealing the valley, he dares to continue to commit crimes, if he is not arrested, it will be a shame for the entire Valley of Forgotten Worries!"

Zhong debuted: "With the words of the valley master, my old bones will be relieved, I only hope that the valley master can really catch that guy......"

Li Zhong also rushed over, and when he saw this scene, he couldn't help sighing.

Behind him, the old servant hugged little Li Xun, who looked at the corpse in the field, and finally stopped playing with the rattle in the shape of a turtle, and his eyes widened.

Wu Feng's heart was in full swing!

It was the old servant he was suspicious of.

What if the accomplice is not Li Zhong, but this old servant?

From Wu Feng's point of view, he could perceive that the cultivation of this old servant was very low.

But if this old servant concealed his true cultivation, he was actually a master......

"Miss Yun, please help judge how this old servant is cultivating. ”

Wu Feng's lips opened, and the sound was gathered into a line, which was passed into the white jade coffin.

The technique of transmitting sound into the secret, his cultivation has not yet been fully mastered, but at this time, the audience is noisy, and the sound of discussion is endless, and no one will notice that his lips are open, and they can't hear his voice.

The coldness of the white jade coffin faded slightly, revealing a trace of warmth.

This is Yun Hailan is running the technique of "Insight into the Wall", and the energy of the Dao method is coming out of the white jade coffin, which is felt by Wu Feng's waist, giving him a very comfortable feeling.

At this time, someone shouted, "It's the clutches of the Endom!"

Yan Demon Palm is one of the stunts of the Town Sect of Forgotten Worries Valley, and its palm is cold, as if it comes from the Netherworld Hell, hence its name. And the wound under Cao Jie's ribs emitted a black glow with a faint blue light.

This is the obvious manifestation of being injured by the clutches of Enma.

However, this doesn't mean anything, there are several people in the valley who are masters in the valley, and there are several people who cultivate the clutches of the Yan Demon, and the valley lord Xiao Yangge is among them, and these people also have the strength to become murderers.

If Xiao Yangge wants to investigate the past one by one, he has to investigate himself first.

After a period of commotion, the crowd finally dispersed in the midst of discussions.

Cao Jie's body, like Ye Zhongnan's body, was cleaned up and sent to the ice cellar for preservation. The murderers have not yet been identified, so naturally they will not be buried in a hurry.

Wu Feng continued to track Li Zhong, but naturally he still found nothing, and found nothing.

Until the evening, Wu Feng returned to his residence and said to Yun Hailan: "Miss Yun, but what did you find?"

Yun Hailan said: "That old servant is really low in cultivation. Although my skill has decreased, my powerful spiritual power is still there, if he can deceive my eyes, unless, this old servant is a master of the Zhenguo Sword Li Yi and the Chuiyun Sword Li Qing at the same level......"

Wu Feng said: "If the Three Rivers Sword Sect still has a master of this level now, I am afraid that he will not be willing to be a vassal of the Shenxiao Dao, and the position of the sect master may not be able to fall into the hands of this mediocre Li Zhong." It's just that there is something unexpected, tonight, I also asked Miss Yun to go to the old servant's residence to monitor outside. ”

"So, don't you spy on Li Zhong?"

Wu Feng groaned slightly, and said, "I'll go and invite someone." ”

Nighttime surveillance is much easier to detect than daytime. If Wu Feng went to spy on Li Zhong, in case he was discovered, it would naturally be extremely unfavorable for continuing the investigation.

can't find Mengqiwu, Gu Li knows that she has a close relationship with Wu Feng. It is possible that the father and son of the Li family knew about her relationship with Wu Feng through Lin Yan, Yuan Shu and others, and thus suspected that Wu Feng was the mastermind who was spying on them.

Wu Feng thought for a while in his heart, and finally thought of a suitable candidate.

Aside from Yumekimai, there is only this person in the valley who can believe it.

At that moment, Wu Feng quietly came to the man's residence.

The courtyard was small and remote, with its humble wooden doors creaking in the autumn wind, as if it could rot at any moment.

This small courtyard was originally a dilapidated house, and it should have been demolished a long time ago, just because this person didn't come back much, so every time he came back, he lived here.

"Xiao Feng, why did you climb over the wall and come in......" The voice sounded.

"Shhhh Wu Feng said: "Uncle Liu, I haven't seen you for several years." ”

"yes, it's been years. Every time I come back, you're cultivating, and you don't have time to visit me......" The chubby middle-aged man ushered him into the room and said.

This middle-aged man was dressed in greasy clothes and stained with soot, but Wu Feng, who loved cleanliness by nature, did not have the slightest disgust, even in his heart.

"I'm sorry, Uncle Liu......" Wu Feng smiled: "Am I not here?"

"I don't think you're right. Hey, who made me owe it to your father?" Liu Dazhi snorted.

It was seen at a glance by Uncle Liu. Wu Feng laughed, in fact, he didn't hide the meaning of asking for help in his eyes at all.

Liu Dazhi used to be a cook in the valley, but he did too badly to cook and was fired by Xiao Yangge, and it was Wu Feng's father who said good things to him and asked him to find a job in the coal kiln.

Every time Liu Dazhi came back, he sent the mined coal back to the valley, and then immediately returned to the mine, and Wu Feng was always busy, so he really couldn't find time to meet him, so he gradually forgot about it.

But counting the time every time he sent coal back, Wu Feng knew that this time the valley closure must have trapped Liu Dazhi in the valley.

Even if there is no contact over the years, Wu Feng understands that this chubby middle-aged man is worth believing.

Father will not help a person who does not have much ability and is not honest for no reason.

Liu Dazhi's cultivation, among the middle-aged generation, is acceptable, but not very noticeable, compared to Wu Feng, who is only thirteen years old, is naturally a lot higher. And because he is doing chores, not a formal doorman, his strength is even less noticed, and most people think that Liu Dazhi's cultivation is not much stronger than ordinary people.

Let him spy on Li Zhong at night, even if Li Zhong finds him, he will never dare to kill him easily, because if the watcher has an accomplice, then it is confirmed that Li Zhong has a ghost in his heart, so he kills and kills people.

At the same time, Liu Dazhi and Wu Feng have not been in contact for several years, and Wu Feng's father has been missing for so many years, and everyone has gradually forgotten that Wu Feng's father showed favor to Liu Dazhi at the beginning. Even if Li Zhong found Liu Dazhi, he couldn't guess Wu Feng.

"Uncle Liu, ......" Wu Feng told him about the crisis that Forget Worry Valley was facing now, and only omitted the matter of Yun Hailan.

"Uncle Liu, do you believe what I say?"

After listening, Liu Dazhi's face also became solemn.

"Xiao Feng...... I believe. You've been smart since you were a kid, and there's nothing you can't see through. In order to repay your father's kindness, and in order to forget the valley of sorrow and not be invaded by outsiders, I fought for this old life, so what's the matter?"

"It's not that serious, it's just bothering Uncle Liu to stay up for a few nights without sleeping. The one surnamed Li didn't dare to do anything. Wu Feng smiled and said, "Even if he is a visiting envoy and it is verified that he kills people indiscriminately, he will have no good fruit to eat." What's more, their Sanhe Li family is a famous family, and they have always been pretending, how can they let the ugly things spread?"

"Hahaha...... That's right, kid. Liu Dazhi said.

"That's it. Uncle Liu, your light skills are not bad, but you have to hide it well, and when it comes to surveillance, you must not only keep an eye on the Li family father and son, but also be careful of the villains in the valley......"

"Hehe, those villains, the assholes of the dignitaries of the Daomen are eager to lick them up!" Liu Dazhi said with a sneering look: "Xiao Feng, I heard that you have been wronged a lot in the past few years. ”

"The words of the villain go with the wind. Wu Feng smiled and said, "It's okay if it's not the same." ”

"Hey, it's a good thing to see it. I can see it when I was a child, and I will definitely be able to do great things in the future, Xiaofeng, I am optimistic about you. Liu Dazhi encouraged.

After the discussion, Wu Feng and Liu Dazhi told each other about the current situation, and then quietly left Liu Dazhi's residence.

Until now, Wu Feng still doesn't have much clue, and the cards he can use in his hand are indeed too few.

But Liu Dazhi's warm smile floated in his mind. Wu Feng remembered the ambiguous feelings between him and Meng Qiwu again, and the faint tenderness that Yun Hailan occasionally revealed.

Zheng Zhihe talked about Forget Song, and he also supported him.

He will never be completely isolated.

At this moment, he suddenly had a strong confidence.

will definitely be able to break this game and save the Valley of Forgotten Worries.

In the head-to-head duel, he defeated Li Xun, and in the battle of wisdom, he will definitely be able to break the conspiracy of the Li family's father and son!

Although the Li family father and son are in the dark and it is difficult to investigate, at the same time, the Li family father and son will never attach too much importance to his existence. After all, Wu Feng was just a young disciple of Forgotten Worry Valley who had cultivated a decent level.

From this point of view, Wu Feng is in the dark.

From the beginning to the present, Wu Feng has also made a lot of arrangements.

Now, all he needs is a breakthrough, once he finds a breakthrough, he is likely to analyze the complete layout of the Li family's father and son, and find a way to break it.

It is best not to tear their faces head-on with the Li family's father and son, but also to give them a heavy blow, so that they can't say what they are suffering about.

Of course, this is not easy, but Wu Feng firmly believes that he can do it.

Because, in the dark, there is really such a thing as fate, and unlike the ethereal luck, fate can be fought for and reversed by one's own efforts.

Wu Feng laughed, and he faintly saw the god of fate beckoning to him.
