"Stop! Who are you? "A few people came from outside the county office, and the guards saw that a few people were coming towards the county government and wanted to stop them.

Liu Feng took out the official card and handed it to the doorman: "It's me, Liu Feng, I'll go to the morgue to check the body of the homicide." ”

"It's Lord County, please come in."

Liu Feng lifted the corpse cloth, and a corpse came into view.

"What was the specific cause of the fire?" Lin Xi asked.

"This ...... I don't know very well. ”

"I don't know?"

"This matter was investigated by the county magistrate himself, and I inquired about everything I knew."

"No, this man didn't die from a fire."

"Big brother, you said he wasn't burned to death?"

"Burned, of course, but not by accident, but by murder!"

"Big brother, how do you see that?"

Lin Xi opened the deceased's mouth with a tool, "The entire inside of the throat is burned, which is more serious than the outside of the corpse, if he dies of fire, how can the body burn more seriously than the outside of the body?" ”

"Brother, then how do you say he died?"

Lin Xi casually covered the cloth and told Liu Feng about the murder in the inn yesterday.

"Big brother, are you saying that this person, like the guys in your inn, ate a kind of salt and burned to death?"

"That's right."

While the two of them were examining the corpses, Guanyin and Yanshou stood outside for fear of disturbing them.

Unlike Lin Xi, who has been watching the house since Yanshou, Guanyin looks around when he is fine.

On the west side of the morgue, under the low wall of a hut, a pair of eyes were staring at the movement of the morgue, but they inadvertently met Guanyin.

The voyeur hurriedly hid, Guanyin hurriedly chased out, and told Yanshou before leaving: "You tell Lin Xi that someone is spying on us, I'll chase him!" ”

Guanyin ran to the hut on the west side and ran towards the back door.

Guanyin reacted quickly, saw the back of the voyeur escaping, he ran out of the county office and turned into a nearby alley, Guanyin followed in, but could not find any trace of him.

Guanyin walked into the alley for a while, and suddenly there was a cramp in his chest, and Guanyin was afraid of exposing his whereabouts, so he had to run out of the alley. After a cough, Guanyin felt better.

"Are you feeling better?" A familiar embrace took Guanyin over, and when he turned around, what made Guanyin extremely relieved was Lin Xi's concerned eyes.

"Ahem...... I'm fine. ”

"You, if you are still sick, you dare to chase it alone."

"Ahem... I know...... You'll be behind me. ”

"Go home."

"Hmm."

"Liu Feng, you can also go to my house for the time being, you have seen everything today, it is not safe for you to stay alone, I will find you a side room and you can live first."

"Thank you, big brother."

"You're welcome, let's go."

On the way home, Lin Xi suddenly remembered, and mentioned it by the way: "Liu Feng, in Suzhou City, have you ever seen a group of people wearing strange cloaks and holding folding fans?" ”

"What are the people in the World Alliance? I once told the county magistrate about their strange behavior, but the county magistrate said that the affairs of the gangs have nothing to do with us, so let me not meddle with them. ”

"It seems that these people have a lot of backgrounds, and they must have come here for a purpose. Looks like I'm going to go to the World Alliance again. ”

"You're going back? Aren't you afraid of falling into the trap of people again? Yanshou suddenly became excited, the last time she escaped from the Tianxia Alliance with Lin Xi, she was naturally a little afraid.

"Silly girl, those people are in the dark, we are in the light, if you want not to be plotted by them, you have to take the initiative to attack and stir them all up from the shadows. Figure out their plans and crush their plots so we will be safe. ”

"Then we'll follow you? It's always safer when there are more people. ”

"Well, what does Guanyin think?"

"Of course I want to go."

The next day, in front of the lobby of the Tianxia Alliance, a group of purple-clothed people were waiting for Lin Xi and the three of them.

"Those who come are guests, get out of the way!"

The man in purple obeyed the order and made a way in front of the door, and the people in the hall were wearing gold-patterned purple clothes similar to others but slightly different, standing next to the Taishi chair in the lobby, a paper folding fan was slowly fanned, his long hair was tied up, he was polite, and he looked like a scholar, Lin Xi couldn't get the person in front of him to relate to the people in the rivers and lakes.

"Tang Qi, the head of the Xia Tianxia Alliance, has seen General Lin."

"Do you recognize me?"

"I recognize, my subordinates had some misunderstandings with you a few days ago, my subordinates did not handle things properly, and I apologize to Brother Lin here."

"Hey, it's all over, I'm here today for something else."

"Please."

"A few days ago, a friend who worked in the county government came to me and said that there was a murder in Suzhou and he was burned to death."

"Oh? What does this have to do with us? ”

"I had a fight with your people in the inn that day, and one of them swallowed some kind of drug and set himself on fire and died, and the death was exactly the same as the dead body in the murder case.

"This ...... Don't know, I've never heard of this drug. Tang Qi's expression changed slightly, his eyes rolled wildly, obviously he knew something.

"Really?"

"Really, I don't know." Although Tang Qi was slightly flustered, he quickly regained his composure.

"This drug is on the people under you, you are the boss, don't you know?"

"There are not 100 but 80 people under Tang, and it is normal for someone to hide some things."

"Brother Lin, don't embarrass Manager Tang anymore, just let someone answer your question." A loud voice came from the side, causing everyone present to look to the side.

"Didn't have time to ask, who is this?"

"The deputy leader of the World Alliance, drunk."

"Disrespectful, what does Vice Alliance Master Shen mean by knowing this poison?"

"To be precise, it's not poison, it's a hidden weapon. That thing is called Fire Salt, and it is a secret weapon brought into the Central Plains by the five Ling brothers of the Western Regions. ”

"The five Ling brothers?"

"They are the five brothers who are famous for their swordsmanship in the Northwest Tianshan Mountain, and they are taught by Ling Guhong, a famous swordsman in the Tianshan Mountains, and these five people also follow the master's surname, so they are called the five brothers of the Ling family."

"Why did their secret weapon appear in Suzhou?"

"Brother Lin doesn't know, the five brothers of the Ling family are now in Suzhou."

"What?"

"A few days ago, the people of my Tianxia Alliance met them and had a dispute with them, and in the end, it was Manager Tang who went to solve it. We don't know why the five brothers came here. ”

"Hmm...... Thank you Shen Deputy Alliance Leader, Lin Xi took his leave. Lin Xi said goodbye to the two and left the World Alliance.

Walking on the street, Yanshou couldn't help but tell Lin Xi her thoughts: "That Tang Qi's eyes rolled when he spoke, I think he must know something." ”

Guanyin said on the other side: "The five brothers of the Ling family that Shen Zui said, do you understand Lin Xi?" ”

"I've only heard of it, but I don't know much about it. Let's go home first, and then we'll talk about what's next. ”

Lin Xi returned home and called Liu Feng, Zhang Ping and Qin Yan together.

"Today, everyone will work hard to find the traces of the five Ling brothers in Suzhou City, according to Shen Zui, the deputy leader of the Tianxia Alliance, this secret weapon called fire salt is owned by the five Ling brothers, so if you want to know who wants to plot against us, you must find them first."

Liu Feng asked: "But we haven't seen them, how can we find them?" ”

Lin Xi thought again and again, "We still have to take advantage of our many eyes to tell all the people in our shops, especially casinos, inns, and restaurants, and let them observe whether there are several people with swords and similar clothes passing by or staying in the store." ”

"Okay."

"It's afternoon, I'm going to inform all my shops, you should take a walk around Suzhou City, especially in crowded places, pay attention to safety, and come back after the sun sets."

Lin Xi went to inform his subordinates, and then walked around the Suzhou Creek by himself. On both sides of the river, there are small businessmen who set up stalls and people who enjoy the scenery everywhere. The shouting of the stalls and the shouting of the Qinglou restaurants on both sides of the strait are intertwined, which really has the meaning of a big city.

Lin Xi unconsciously walked to a stall selling rouge, Lin Xi thought for a moment, and finally took out a few pieces of broken silver and bought two boxes of rouge, thinking of longevity and Guanyin, Lin Xi couldn't help but smile.

"Boss, how do you sell this rouge?" Lin Xi didn't go far, he heard someone in the stall just now, Lin Xi subconsciously turned around, and saw four men in green clothes and white jackets buying rouge at the stall just now.

Lin Xi took the opportunity to look at the scenery on the riverbank and looked at these people with his spare eyes. Although it is now winter, the heavy coats of several of them are still in stark contrast to the others, and they don't look like the southerners wear, but more like the warm clothes that can only be worn in the cold places of the northwest.

"Aren't they the five Ling brothers?" Although there was one person missing, Lin Xi basically determined his identity when he looked at the clothes of several people and the swords behind each person. "The five of them, what do they want to do with rouge, isn't it... There are perverts?! Thinking of this, Lin Xi felt a chill, shook his head, and stopped thinking.

After confirming his identity, Lin Xi did not rashly follow him, but went to find Cheng Shaoyang.

"Boss, what do you command?"

"Lao Cheng, you tell all the casinos, restaurants, green buildings, and inns under your command, and let them pay extra attention to whether there are any people wearing green clothes and white jackets and carrying swords."

"Okay, I'll send someone to pass it on! By the way, boss, something strange happened recently. ”

"Oh? What's the matter? ”

"Boss, you know, the drunken fairy building opposite the inn is also opened by me, recently the shopkeeper of the drunken fairy building found me, he told me that the buns made by the day before the drunken fairy building always disappeared inexplicably the next day, at first they thought it was a mouse, so they put the buns in the cage drawer and hung them with ropes, but they still always lost."

"Stealing buns? Wouldn't it be okay to find a few martial arts experts to stare at this? ”

"Boss, the shopkeeper over there said that he sent someone to watch him yesterday, and then the person who watched told him that it was haunted! He saw that the door of the house had been opened by himself, and a white figure had entered the room at once, and he did not dare to go into the house after that. ”

Lin Xi was a little speechless: "Really...... At night, I went to the Drunken Immortal Building to watch, even if it was a ghost, it was just a starving ghost, what were you afraid of. ”

After dinner, Lin Xi took Yanshou to Zuixian Mansion together, Guanyin originally wanted to go, Lin Xi considered that her health was not very good, and she was easy to be exposed when she coughed all the time, so she let her rest at home first.
