The body of the lady lay in the small garden of the inner house of the Qinglong Dart Bureau.

She was still plain, lying on her back behind a bush, and if it had not been for her personal maid, who had not come to the small garden to look for her, it would have been difficult to find her body in the night.

Her clothes were clean, not stained with blood, except for a wound on her throat, and her eyes were wide open at the moment, and her face was full of horror.

This expression reminded Ye Feng of another dead person before, Guan Pengfei!

The deaths of these two mothers and sons are so similar that they are almost identical, and perhaps there will be some connection between their deaths.

Ye Feng raised his head and glanced at these people standing in the small garden.

Guan Pengju, the eldest son of the Guan family, stood aside with his hands crossed, looking at the expression on his face that was very calm, and there was no feeling of sadness.

That's right, after all, it was his stepmother who died, and there was no blood relationship, since I heard that Guan Si Lao preferred Guan Pengfei, the youngest son born by this stepmother, I expected that the relationship between the eldest son who was left out and this stepmother would not be too good.

But I don't know why, Ye Feng always remembered the meaningful words that Prince Guan said to him when he politely sent them to the gate when he left the Qinglong Dart Bureau yesterday afternoon, come early tomorrow.

Ye Feng looked up at the sky, it was almost dawn at this moment, and it was really early enough today! Could it be that Grand Prince Guan had already foreseen that something would happen in the Qinglong Dart Game last night?

Ye Feng shook his head, this was just conjecture, and there was no basis at all.

Standing beside Ye Feng, one on the left and one on the right, were two fat men with round balls of meat. The taller one is his brother-in-law Zhang Idiot Zhang Fatzi, and the shorter one is, of course, the local parent official, Zhou Ziran, the prefect of Lanzhou.

Lord Zhou frowned tightly at this moment, his face was full of sadness, and he couldn't stop sighing. Thinking about it, within two days, there were three murders in a row in the land under his jurisdiction, the one in Imperial Doctor Jian's family was seven or eight lives, and the other two were the top two in Lanzhou City.

Tang Rou was following closely behind Ye Feng at the moment, with a serious expression on her face. She came to protect Ye Feng according to Tang Da's orders, but the successive murders in Lanzhou City in the past two days made her nerves start to tense.

It seems that this Ye Feng really has a special physique, she will follow wherever she goes, she stands behind Ye Feng inch by inch, she doesn't want to have anything in case, so that she can't explain to Tang Da.

And the last person standing in this small garden was a short old man, who was Mr. Arazuki who stayed in the Blue Dragon Dart Bureau that night.

Although Mr. Arakiki is relatively short, he usually speaks and acts, and his every move is extremely confident, with a fierce momentum that makes people not notice his height at all.

But at this moment, he stood there quietly, looking down at Mrs. Guan's corpse on the ground, Ye Feng obviously felt that all his confidence and momentum seemed to be gone, just an ordinary short old man, an old man with sadness.

Ye Feng turned his head and asked Zhou Ziran, Lord Zhou: "I don't know if the yamen has done anything?"

Before Zhou Ziran could speak, Mr. Arakitsuki said, "No need, I've already checked it." ”

Ye Feng and Zhou Ziran glanced at each other and let out an "oh" in some surprise.

According to normal speaking, since the Guan family has reported to the official, then it is inconvenient to wait for the yamen to come to examine the body, and others cannot easily touch it, not to mention that it is the female relatives of the Guan family who died.

Mr. Arakitsuki didn't seem to think that there was anything wrong with this, he seemed to be still immersed in the grief of Mrs. Guan's murder, and said in a deep voice: "The time when Madame was killed should be after Zi Shi, like Peng Fei, there are no scars all over the body, the fatal wound is a sword wound through the throat, the difference is that Peng Fei is a sword in the back of the neck, and Madame is a face-to-face sword." ”

Everyone present was shocked, with such a similar way of death, could this murderer be the same person?

Ye Feng looked at Mr. Arazuki with his eyes and asked, "Yes."

Can you see that the murder weapon that killed their mother and son is not the same sword?"

Mr. Arazuki Huo Ran raised his head, his expression a little excited: "It is indeed the same sword that killed their mother and son! The sword is two fingers wide and five feet long, thin and sharp, just like this one!"

Before the words fell, he reached out and wiped it on the belt around his waist, "choking", there was already a bright sword in his hand, the sword body was extremely thin and sharp, bent and vibrated like a poisonous snake in his hand, soft sword!

Ye Feng was stunned for a moment, and suddenly understood, why Mr. Arazuki, as a well-known swordsman, should not leave his sword, but since Ye Feng saw him, he had never seen his sword.

It turns out that his sword really never leaves his body, and he has always disguised himself as a belt and hid it by his side, and the one he used was originally a soft sword!

Mr. Arazuki suddenly drew his sword, to everyone's surprise, Tang Rou behind Ye Feng was even more shocked, just afraid that he would suddenly attack, so his hand touched the leather bag on his waist.

Mr. Arazuki didn't pay attention to the reactions of the people around him at this moment, his face was excited, his hair was furrowed, and he said: "Not only the sword, but even the sword that assassinated their mother and son is also very similar to this style in the old man's swordsmanship, electric light!"

As he spoke, the soft sword in his hand suddenly stabbed out of thin air, and a lightning-like sword light swept by, and the tip of the sword pierced the small tree on the side, straight out through the trunk.

Sure enough, it's a fast, poisonous sword!

In Ye Feng's impression, only the fast sword that he had seen before could be comparable to the swiftness and trickiness of this sword.

Mr. Arakitsuki said this, and used this sword move again, and suddenly everyone else in the small garden looked at him with suspicious eyes.

But Ye Feng didn't doubt him.

He had seen the shock and grief of Mr. Aragon when he first saw the corpse of Guan Pengfei, the second son of the Guan family, and now his grief when he saw Mrs. Guan's corpse was especially better than at that time, this was by no means like something that could be pretended, but from the depths of his heart, which could not be concealed or suppressed.

What's more, where would a murderer take the initiative to display the murder weapon and the murder method as soon as he came up? This is completely illogical.

So he never believed that Mr. Arakiki would be the murderer.

He turned his head to Guan Pengju, the eldest son of the Guan family on the side, and said, "I heard that the first person to find Madame's body was Madame's personal maidservant, I wonder if I can please ask one or two?"

Guan Pengju replied repeatedly: "This is natural, I will tell her to wait for questioning early next morning." ”

After saying that, he turned around and beckoned, and outside the small garden, a servant came over with this little girl who looked like a maid.

The little girl, who was no more than sixteen or seventeen years old, still looked frightened, her eyes looked to the side in alarm, and she did not dare to look at the body of the lady on the ground, and her face was full of horror and fear.

Ye Feng came to her, tried his best to show a kind smile on his face, and said: "Don't be afraid, Madam has been killed, we are going to ask you a few questions now, you just need to answer truthfully, we will never be embarrassed by you." ”

The maid nodded, still with a look of horror on her face.

Ye Feng said as slowly as possible: "You are Madame's personal maidservant, you must know Madame's whereabouts very well, how could she come to this small garden alone in the middle of the night?"

The maid calmed down, and then said slowly: "Since learning the bad news of the murder of the second young master, the lady was grief-stricken and cried bitterly in the mourning hall all afternoon, until it was dark and the slaves and maids finally persuaded her to return to the room, and hastily used some porridge. She was so tired that she slept on the bed for a while, until she was about the hour, and she did not know what she had heard, and suddenly she woke up, and insisted on coming alone to the little garden. ”

Zhou Ziran on the side frowned: "What movement did she hear?"

The maid lowered her head: "The slave and maid really don't know, the slave and maid were really sleepy at that time, so they leaned on the table and took a nap, and when they woke up, the lady had already gotten up to go out." ”

Zhou Ziran nodded, there was a sudden change in the house, and after a busy day, it was reasonable for this maid to be sleepy and secretly take a nap.

Ye Feng asked, "Then Madame doesn't let you follow, did you say what she came to the small garden by herself to do?"

The maid nodded and said, "Madame said that she was going to come to the small garden to meet someone." ”

The hearts of the people in the audience were suddenly moved

Tightly, Ye Feng tried to soften his tone a little more, and asked, "Who did she say she was coming to meet?"

The maid didn't speak, but her eyes involuntarily glanced in horror at the one standing on the side holding a bright sword, Mr. Arakizuki!

Now everyone understood, and they all turned their heads to stare at Mr. Arazuki.

Mr. Arakitsuki looked at Mrs. Guan's corpse on the ground expressionlessly, nodded slightly, and said, "Yes, she did come here to see the old man." ”

Everyone in the field changed color, since Mrs. Guan was killed after Zi Shi, she came to the small garden alone to see Mr. Arazuki, in the middle of the night, what did the lonely men and widows do when they went to this small garden to meet secretly?

Coupled with such a similar murder weapon and such a coincidental sword move, Mr. Arakitsuki can't escape suspicion no matter what.

Zhou Ziran shouted and asked, "Old Man Huangyue, if you don't tell you the truth, did you kill Mrs. Guan in the death?"

Although his voice was stern, he unconsciously took a step back, this Mr. Arazuki's swordsmanship has long been well-known in the northwest, and he has seen that swift and vicious sword move just now, if it is really him, the dog jumps over the wall in a hurry, who can stop his sword?

Mr. Arakitsuki said with a sad face: "Of course it's not the old man, the old man and the lady left after talking, and the murderer must have done it at this time." ”

Where was Zhou Ziran willing to believe it, and asked again: "Then tell me, what did you and Mrs. Guan talk about mysteriously in the middle of the night, when they went to this no-man's land?"

While asking, he took another step back, intentionally or unintentionally hiding his fat and bloated body behind the fat man Zhang, who was even more wide.

Unexpectedly, Mr. Arakitsuki lowered his head and sighed, but kept silent.

Zhou Ziran suddenly pointed at him and said loudly: "Look, you are speechless, you are exhausted, the murderer is clearly you!"

Then he turned his head and shouted outside the small garden: "Someone!"

Immediately, a few arresters rushed into the garden, and Zhou Ziran almost jumped to his feet and shouted: "Don't take down this murderer with me!"

They looked at Mr. Arazuki who was holding a long sword and knew that he was powerful, so they all looked at each other and didn't move.

At this time, Mr. Arakitsuki sighed, and as soon as he let go of his hand, the long sword in his hand suddenly fell to the ground, and it seemed that he was not ready to explain it anymore.

Zhou Ziran saw that he had almost acquiesced, and he was overjoyed, and urged him to hurry up and arrest Mr. Arazuki.

At this time, Guan Pengju, the eldest son of the Guan family, who had been silent on the side, suddenly walked out, stopped in front of the catchers, and saluted Zhou Ziran and said: "Lord Prefect, Mr. Huangyue is my Guan family's best friend for many years, if it is said that he killed my second mother and younger brother, it is really hard to believe." ”

Zhou Ziran paused for a moment and asked, "Then what do you want?"

Guan Pengju said: "It's better not to rush to take him down first, first monitor and detain him in my Qinglong Dart Bureau, investigate this matter carefully, if something happens, everything will be borne by my Qinglong Dart Bureau." I wonder what adults think?"

The Guan family of the Qinglong Dart Bureau is not only the bitter master of this case, but also one of the largest households in Lanzhou City, Zhou Ziran really can't refuse, so he can only look back at Ye Feng.

Ye Feng nodded slightly.

In fact, he didn't believe in his heart that Mr. Arakitsuki was the murderer, but there must be some secrets between Mr. Arakitsuki and Mrs. Guan, and in order to keep these secrets, even if they were accused of being murderers, Mr. Arakitsuki didn't distinguish much, which shows how important this secret is.

Guan Pengju's method is indeed a good method for investigating this case.

Seeing Ye Feng nodding, Zhou Ziran reluctantly agreed, anyway, in his mind, Ye Feng was sent by His Royal Highness King Su to investigate the case, as long as he agreed, of course he would not have any responsibility.

When Mr. Huangyue was taken away by Guan Pengju and Yu Kuai, Ye Feng suddenly raised his voice and asked, "Sir, have you taught your swordsmanship to others?"

Mr. Arakitsuki was stunned for a moment, as if he didn't understand why he asked this question, but he still replied: "The old man's swordsmanship was only taught to Guan Pengfei alone, and there is no successor other than him. ”

After speaking, he turned around and followed Guan Pengju towards the inner house, looking at his back as he strode away with his head held high, Ye Feng nodded thoughtfully.
