Chapter 117: Clues, Secret Investigation

It may sound ridiculous.

After all, how could a flower thief who could walk thousands of houses at night be a cripple with limited mobility.

But Zhao Ya didn't think it was impossible.

In fact, the more physically defective people are, the more paranoidized they tend to be.

The inconvenience of legs and feet is just the possibility that people can practice light skills hard, so as to reach heights that are difficult for ordinary people to reach.

At this time, Zhao Ya finally understood why no one had caught this jade butterfly for three years.

Because people may not have thought that this jade butterfly would be a disabled person at all.

"Did you find anything?" Miao Shaocheng said with concern.

Zhao Ya stood up and pointed to the window.

"I only see that the jade butterfly should have come in through this window, and as for the other clues, I haven't found any other clues yet."

Zhao Ya didn't mention that the Jade Butterfly might be a cripple.

It's not that he wants to keep it secret, but it's better to know about it as few people as possible without provenance.

Miao Shaocheng and Xu De hurried to the window when they heard this, and after careful inspection, their faces were a little ugly.

Because they also saw the cleverness of this technique.

But the more this is the case, the more it proves that it will be even more difficult to catch this jade butterfly.

Taking advantage of the fact that the people from the official mansion had not yet come, Zhao Ya checked the bodies of Aunt Xue and the rest of the people again.

Then Shi Qingqing put on Aunt Xue with tears in her eyes.

After all, for a woman, the appearance of a naked death is too ugly.

After all this, the people from the government finally arrived.

After recording the scene of the scene, the corpses of Aunt Xue and the rest of the people were collected and brought back to the yamen to be processed.

It stands to reason that Zhao Ya and others, including Zhao Ya and others, should go to the yamen to record a confession.

But Shen Dao and Zhao Ya are all Lu Dingtai's apprentices, and Shi Qingqing is the Oiran of Drunken Flower Fang.

This kind of identity must be treated with caution even by the yamen.

Therefore, I just asked very politely at the scene, and it was settled.

After asking, the catcher named Du Hu exchanged a few more words with everyone, and then turned around and left.

At this moment, Zhao Ya suddenly stopped him.

"Du Zhutou, please stay."

Du Hu stopped and looked at Zhao Ya with some surprise.

After the inquiry just now, he already knew that this young man who didn't talk was actually Lu Dingtai's newly accepted disciple.

And Lu Dingtai is a well-known top martial artist in the entire county, and even the county guard has to look at three points, so he is very polite when facing Zhao Ya.

"What else is going on with Zhao Shaoxia?"

"Can you let me see the jade butterfly that was left behind?"

After the people from the government arrived, Shen Dao handed over the jade butterfly, and now it is in the hands of Du Hu.

Du Hu didn't know what Zhao Ya wanted to do, but he didn't refuse, and reached out and took out the jade butterfly from his arms.

"Young man, please look!"

After Zhao Ya took it, he took a closer look.

Everyone couldn't help but be a little confused when they saw him like this.

But Du Hu guessed something, and couldn't help sighing.

"This Zhao Shaoxia must want to start from this jade butterfly to track down the whereabouts of the thief, it's really true, we have already tried this method."

"But the jade used in this jade butterfly is unremarkable, it is produced in the nearby mountains and rivers, and a large piece can be bought for one or two silver on the market, and the carving is also average, without any obvious characteristics, so it is extremely difficult to trace it."

Zhao Ya didn't say anything, and after looking at it a few times, he handed it back to Du Hu.

"Did you find anything?" Miao Shaocheng asked.

Zhao Ya shook his head.

Miao Shaocheng's face was disappointed.

Du Hu had expected this, and couldn't help but laugh secretly in his heart.

He has seen a lot of young people like Zhao Ya, relying on himself to worship a good master, and after learning a few skills, he feels that there is nothing difficult for him in the world.

This jade butterfly is so easy to catch, why should the government spend such a high price on a reward.

Although he secretly laughed in his heart, on the surface, Du Hu didn't show it at all, but pretended to comfort a few words, and then left.

After he left, everyone also left Aunt Xue's house.

At this time, the surrounding neighbors were already alarmed.

After all, it is difficult not to attract attention to such a big movement when it comes to catch the leader of the team so quickly.

These neighbors stood on the street and pointed at Aunt Xue's house, whispering something.

"I heard that it was the jade butterfly who committed the crime, and the woman's death was miserable, and there were many knives on her body!"

"Tsk, this Aunt Xue is only in her thirties, I heard that she is quite rich, but she died like this, it's a pity."

"If you want me to say that she deserves it, this girl used to be a kiln sister in the kiln, and she mixed with a lot of men all day long, and it was sooner or later that something happened."

or regret or shock, as well as schadenfreude and schadenfreude were mixed together, which made Shi Qingqing, who was already grief-stricken, even more sad to hear.

Seeing this, Shen Dao sent her back first.

Zhao Ya, Miao Shaocheng, and Xu De slowly walked in the direction of Feixian Residence.

"Damn, I don't believe that this jade butterfly's ability is really so great, no one can catch him!" Miao Shaocheng muttered, obviously a little angry.

Xu De sighed and said: "The key is that no one has ever seen this jade butterfly until now, or that the people who have seen him are dead, and there is not even the slightest clue, how to find it?" ”

"Then let him go on like this?" Miao Shaocheng was furious.

Xu De didn't argue with him anymore, just sighed slightly, and then stopped talking.

Soon the three of them returned to the Flying Immortal Residence.

At this time, it was already late at night, and the Flying Immortal Residence was about to close.

Fortunately, the shopkeeper knew the identity of Zhao Ya and the others, and he didn't dare to urge, so he waited like this.

After seeing them come back, Meng Shiwen couldn't help asking, "How is it?" ”

Miao Shaocheng was indignant and told what happened.

Meng Shiwen didn't say anything after listening to it, but the drunken children on the side listened a little discolored.

A murderous demon who specializes in mutilating women, this sounds scary.

Zhao Ya saw her fear, so he gently took her hand on the way back.

"Don't be afraid, it won't be long before I can get this guy out." Zhao Ya said softly.

"Uh-huh!" The drunken child nodded vigorously, without the slightest doubt.

In her mind, Brother Xiaoya is omnipotent.

So she believed everything Zhao Ya said.

After returning home, the drunken child fell asleep, but Zhao Ya did not sleep, but sat in the courtyard and counted the clues he found.

One thing that is certain now is that this jade butterfly is very likely to be a disabled person with inconvenient legs and feet.

This narrows down a lot.

But that's not enough.

After all, the county town has a large population, and there are more people with inconvenient legs and feet, so it is not easy to find the hidden demon among so many people.

But Zhao Ya was not discouraged in the slightest.

Because he also found an extremely important clue, but it still needs to be investigated secretly.

The next day, Zhao Ya came to the Alien Beast Meat Trading Market located in the east of the county town.

There are large shops on the streets, as well as small vendors.

There are even more varieties of exotic beast meat sold, and there are all kinds of them.

From tigers and leopards in the mountains to grasshoppers in the grass, everything is there.

The reason why many novices who don't know how to do it are deceived is because they often think that meat such as tigers and leopards must be effective, and only after buying them back do they find out that they have been fooled.

In fact, there is only one criterion for measuring the quality of alien beast meat, that is, whether there is a lot of qi and blood contained in it, and whether there are impurities.

And these are only related to the meat fields.

If you can find a high-quality meat field, the grasshoppers that are bred can also sell for a high price.

And if it's meat field garbage, even elephant meat is in vain.

Of course, this is not to say that the meat of fierce beasts such as tigers, leopards, black bears is not good, but because if a fierce beast of this level mutates, its strength will be extremely terrifying.

Zhao Ya heard that in the depths of the Ten Thousand Beasts Mountain in Wanshou County, there were powerful beasts equivalent to the Five Realms or even above the Five Realms.

How many people can defeat such a powerful beast and dig out a field of meat?

In particular, the more powerful the beast, the lower the chance of obtaining the meat field.

You have gone to great lengths to destroy a powerful beast, but if you get nothing, won't you have to pay for it?

Therefore, all things considered, exotic animal meat such as earthworms, snakes, and fish and turtles are so popular.

This is because not only is it relatively easy to obtain meat fields, but the cost of cultivation is surprisingly low compared to predators such as tigers and leopards.

In fact, many of the tigers, leopards, and black bears sold in the market are not even alien beasts at all, and they are all made by crushing low-level earthworm jerky and pouring it into the meat.

Zhao Ya had been in the Song family for so long, so he naturally knew the doorway, so he didn't listen to the temptation of those street vendors at all, and walked straight into a shop called Tianlan Jerky.

This was recommended to him by Xu De before, saying that the quality of the meat here is good, and he never cheats.

As soon as Zhao Ya came in, he attracted the attention of the waitress in the store.

After all, with the growth of strength now, Zhao Ya's temperament has also undergone earth-shaking changes.

Sometimes a simple action can give people a strong sense of oppression.

This all proves that he is a martial artist with amazing strength.

Coupled with the facial features without the slightest flaw, it naturally attracts attention.

"This young man, dare to ask if you want to buy some foreign beast jerky?" A tall woman walked forward quickly and greeted him warmly.

Zhao Ya nodded.

"Then let me introduce to you, we have dozens of kinds of alien beast jerky in our store, I ......."

"How do you sell dried golden-spotted black eels?" Zhao Ya didn't listen to her verbosity, and asked bluntly.

"Uh......." The woman was caught off guard by Zhao Ya's directness.

"The golden-spotted black eel is considered to be our high-end jerky here, and it usually sells for five taels or three dollars ...... gold."

"Five taels, if it's okay, I'll have thirty taels, if not, I'll go to another house." Zhao Ya interrupted the woman's words again.

The woman's heart was a little broken.

How can you buy something like this, don't you have to look at it first, and then bargain slowly.

Why is it that this young man is like a war, and he refuses to say even a superfluous word.

"Uh...... I'll have to go inside and apply to the shopkeeper for this price, why don't you wait here? ”

"Good!"

Zhao Ya sat on the chair for the guests to rest, picked up the fruit on the table and ate it as if no one was around.

He was sure in his heart that this price should be acceptable to the other party, after all, the public price of gold-spotted black eel was five taels of gold.

And for this kind of shop, buying 30 taels at a time is also a big customer, and this discount is naturally there.

Sure enough.

The woman soon returned.

"Shaoxia, our shopkeeper has agreed, you are going to ...... now."

Zhao Ya took out the golden ticket that had been exchanged in advance from his arms and put it on the table.

"Click on it, and if it's okay, give me the jerky."

After counting the number and loading the thirty taels of golden-spotted black eels, Zhao Ya picked it up and turned around and left.

From entering the door to buying and leaving, the whole process took less than ten minutes in total, which can be described as extremely clean.

Even until Zhao Ya was gone, the woman remembered that she didn't ask Zhao Ya's name and address.

For a store of this size, customers who buy more than ten taels of jerky at one time will be recorded, in order to contact their feelings and develop into old customers.

Not to mention this remorseful woman, Zhao Ya ate one after returning home with the jerky.

The last dried jade snake had already been eaten three days ago, and it would take two days for the Vajra Pills to be obtained, so Zhao Ya had already been out of breath for several days.

Now with the lower belly of this golden-spotted black eel, Zhao Ya felt that his stomach became excited.

After grinding and absorbing, Zhao Ya only felt that the qi and blood all over his body had become very full.

If you talk about the richness of qi and blood, it is only a little worse than the jade brocade snake.

However, because of the characteristics of qi and blood, it is very suitable for the cultivation of Donkey Kong Fist.

After practicing the exercises, Zhao Ya was satisfied to see that all the martial arts he had mastered had improved.

In particular, my skin has faintly glowed, although it is still far from the completion of dermabrasion, but at least I have seen the dawn.

Zhao Ya put away the rest of the jerky, packed all the drugs, lime bags and other applications, and put the meteorite knife on his waist, and then put on a wide coat, and brought a common hat on the street, covering himself tightly.

After making all these preparations, Zhao Ya said hello to Zui'er, and then went out.

Zhao Ya did not go to other places, but specially picked those places adjacent to the Qinglou Chu Pavilion and the kiln Goolan to wander around.

For example, the vicinity of the drunken flower workshop is better, which is considered a rich area, but some underground clay kilns are simply built in the most dilapidated slums.

It will cost you about fifty dollars for a visit, which is equivalent to less than a penny.

But even these fifty eldest sons, there are still many people who can't afford it.

Because the people who live here are men who make a living by selling coolies, or small traders who do some small business, the money they earn every day can only be said to be barely subsisting, where is there spare money to spend.

Ordinary people rarely set foot here, but Zhao Ya seemed to be very familiar with this place.

Because when he was in Dancing Elephant City, he lived in a slum similar to this.

The difference is that the security of the slums here may be slightly better than that of Dancing Elephant City, after all, the government here still has a little bit of control.

Zhao Ya walked slowly.

There are a lot of people dressed like him on the street, so it is not eye-catching.

Some of them can't even enter the earthen kilns, and can only rely on the street to attract customers, but they don't miss any opportunity.

"Uncle, are you playing? Thirty seeds, plus ten seeds, you can also get a bowl of noodles. A woman who was nearly forty years old and even had loose skin on her body shouted at Zhao Ya.
