Chapter Twenty-Nine: The Old Man Comes
A relatively secluded street in Lingbao City, an inconspicuous restaurant.
There are no cars and horses in front of the restaurant, and a dirty wine flag hangs lonely at the door, showing that the business here is deserted.
When Ye Feng stepped into the restaurant, there was not even a single customer in the store.
Not only are there no customers, but there are no people in the shopkeeper, the whole store is empty, and there is no ghost.
Ye Feng was not surprised at all.
He must have cleared the scene, although he couldn't see a person here, there must be many pairs of eyes secretly staring here, Ye Feng knew this very well.
This was the usual way of the old man he was going to meet.
Ye Feng did not stop, but went directly up the stairs and climbed to the second floor of the restaurant.
On the second floor, on a pair of seats by the window, there were a few simple dishes and a pot of old wine, and a figure had been waiting for him for a long time.
This old man's eye sockets are a little deep, with a prominent hooked nose, and his face looks a little gloomy, which is the head of today's criminal department, and he is often unrighteous!
As early as when the case of Songshan Tingtao Villa was heard, Ye Feng knew the chief head catcher, and later when he investigated the suspected murder case of a ghost in the capital, he also gave a lot of unrighteous and vigorous help.
In Ye Feng's mind, this cold-faced and hot-hearted chief catcher had long been his friend.
It's just that I didn't expect why a dignified head catcher of the Criminal Department would suddenly come to this small town so coincidentally, and take the initiative to send a letter to ask him to meet.
He hadn't been masked for so long, but when he met here, Ye Feng's face was full of joy, and he greeted warmly: "Brother Chang, after a long time, I don't know how it has been recently?"
Chang Wuyi's face was expressionless, he still had a cold look, but there was also a warm feeling in his eyes when he looked at Ye Feng, and replied: "It's still the same, the heavy responsibility is on your shoulders, and you can't stop running around all day long." ”
Ye Feng sat down opposite Chang Wuyi with a big grin, and asked with a spring breeze on his face: "What kind of wind is blowing today, blowing such a busy person as the dignified Chang brother to this small place?"
Chang Wuyi snorted: "It wasn't the wind that blew me, I came here smelling the wind." ”
"Smell?" Ye Feng was stunned, not quite understanding what he meant.
Chang Wuyi said: "Junzi Jian posted a heroic post, inviting the heroes of the rivers and lakes to deal with the mysterious killer flying bat in the past, and the rumors of this matter have spread all over the rivers and lakes in the past two days. If I can't even smell this smell, my sense of smell as a headcatcher is too insensitive. ”
Ye Feng smiled slightly: "It turns out that Brother Chang is also here for this flying bat?"
Chang Wuyi shook his head and said, "I'm not interested in this flying bat, I'm interested in you." ”
Ye Feng was stunned: "I, Brother Chang, what do you mean by this? What is the important matter for Brother Mo to come to find you?"
Chang Wuyi suddenly looked at him at this time, pointed to the wine and food on the table and said: "The business of this restaurant is not very good, and the craftsmanship is also secondary, so this wine and food are prepared more simply, and I hope Ye Gongzi will not mind." ”
Ye Feng's face turned pale, he knew that Chang Wuyi chose such a place, naturally for the sake of secrecy, so he must also be burdened with an extremely secret task.
Since he was unwilling to say it now, it was naturally inconvenient for Ye Feng to continue to ask.
Ye Feng didn't ask any more questions, Chang Wuyi seemed to be very satisfied, and took the initiative to ask: "Ye Gongzi has not had a peaceful past two days in the Mansion of Gentleman Sword Feng Daxia, right? I heard that the flying bat had already started to do it last night, and killed three people?"
What happened last night is the same this morning
The unrighteousness is already all known, and it seems that Chang Wuyi is really prepared.
Ye Feng nodded and said, "Three people died in the guest room of the Feng Mansion last night, and the death was very similar to the legendary method of killing people by the flying bat, it looks as if he did it. ”
"Like?" Chang Wuyi raised his eyes and glanced at Ye Feng and said, "Could it be that Ye Gongzi still has doubts in his heart about the real murderer who killed these three people?"
Ye Feng pondered for a moment, thinking about how to explain the various doubts behind this case to Chang Wuyi, now this case is confusing, and some doubts also involve the body of Feng Mingli, the master of the Feng Mansion, the gentleman sword, it is indeed not an easy thing to explain it all at once.
However, at this time, Chang Wuyi opened his mouth and said: "Flying Star Hammer, ruthless stick, these two people are underworld figures, although Bo is a little famous, in fact, they are all doing some robberies and robbing darts and cutting paths, in recent years, in this area of Jin, Yu and Qinzhong, there are at least seven or eight of the ten major cases of robbery and murder related to the two of them. ”
"As for the little gangster nicknamed Mouse, he is simply a scoundrel who specializes in helping people find out information and selling intelligence for a living. With such a character, how could Feng Daxia, a gentleman who has always been famous and chivalrous, know them, and invite them to come and deal with a big devil like the Flying Bat together, do you expect them to help with this?"
Chang Wuyi paused, and said in a deep voice: "The strangest thing is that if the flying bat wants to kill people, why didn't the masters who died last night be those who were more famous, but the three of them who were relatively low in martial arts and less famous?"
Ye Feng sighed unconsciously when he heard this, Chang Wuyi was talking about the question in his heart, it seemed that Chang Wuyi knew everything about last night's case, and he didn't need to explain it at all.
It's just that he is a little strange in his heart, Chang Wuyi is so clear about everything about this case, it is as if he witnessed it at the scene, could it be that he has already planted eyeliner in the Feng Mansion?
Gentleman Sword Feng Mingli sent a heroic post to invite the heroes of the rivers and lakes to come and deal with the flying bats together, but it was just a matter of one or two days.
Or maybe the eyeliner he planted wasn't really there to deal with the flying bat, but to deal with someone else?
Although he was puzzled in his heart, Ye Feng did not show it, but said lightly: "Or, it is because the flying bat has not shown up for more than ten years, and its skills are not as good as before, so I chose these three people, and it is relatively easy to start." ”
Chang Wuyi didn't speak, his two eyes stared at Ye Feng, as if asking, does Ye Gongzi really think so?
Of course Ye Feng didn't think so, even he didn't believe his words.
If the flying bat is really not as good as before, how could it choose to bow down to a master like Gentleman Sword Feng Mingli, and name him to take his life?
You must know that the Junzi Sword has just been rated as one of the seven swords in the world, and it is definitely a first-class master, and the flying bat is not sure to provoke him, unless there is a deep hatred between them that does not share the sky and never die.
If you can see the worship post in Feng Mingli's hand, these questions can naturally be solved, and Feng Mingli's so-called crimes must be written on it.
However, it is obvious that Feng Mingli will never expose his ugliness and publicize the worship post to the public, so all this can only be questioned.
Chang Wuyi looked at it for a long time, retracted his gaze, and sighed softly, as if he could understand the hardships that Ye Feng was in various mysteries at the moment, and his tone slowed down slightly: "I have already sent someone to investigate the detailed background information of these three deceased people, as well as the real relationship between them and Gentleman Sword Feng Mingli, I believe it will not be much."
It pays off in the long run. ”
After a pause, he said: "I think this may be one of the breakthroughs in this case, and I hope it can be of some help to Ye Gongzi to find out this case." ”
Ye Feng opened his mouth at this time and asked, "Isn't Brother Chang ready to intervene in this case?" Now that three lives have already died, won't the government intervene?"
Chang Wuyi snorted, still expressionless: "As the saying goes, the rivers and lakes are in trouble, and Junzijian did not choose to report to the official, this is just a dispute between the rivers and lakes, and the government has no reason to intervene." Besides, I have more important tasks on my body at the moment, and it is inconvenient for me to come forward now. ”
Ye Feng nodded a little helplessly and asked, "The reason why you chose to show up to help me is also for your more important task, right?"
Chang Wuyi does not deny that he has never been good at lying.
Ye Feng's heart felt a little heavy, because he understood that the reason why Chang Wuyi was so anxious to take the initiative to help him showed that he needed to help him with his more important task.
The more anxious he was, the more he explained the seriousness and difficulty of his task.
Ye Feng couldn't help but smile self-deprecatingly, he remembered Zhang Fatzi's words, he seemed to have a special physique, and he was particularly prone to causing all kinds of trouble.
This time, he just accompanied Ji Wushuang Gongzi to see the excitement, but he was unexpectedly involved in a big mess in this Feng Mansion.
Moreover, he had a hunch that the sudden arrival of the old man in front of him was often unrighteous, and he said that the trouble he brought was only afraid that it would be more troublesome than the trouble of the gentleman in front of him, the sword Feng Mingli.
It seems that this fat man is really right, he is really a fucking half-fairy!
Ye Feng smiled bitterly, picked up the wine glass on the table and drank it all. This is really not a good wine, the taste is bitter and astringent, and it is spicy from the throat to the stomach.
Chang Wuyi's words came from his ears: "Ye Gongzi must be careful of the gentleman's sword Feng Mingli, and he must not be taken lightly because of his reputation." ”
Ye Feng was stunned for a moment and asked, "Brother Chang has any inside information about this gentleman sword Feng Daxia?"
Chang Wuyi paused, seemed to be a little speechless and stopped, and finally said: "There is no inside information, but I know that the people killed by the flying bats back then will write their crimes on the worship posts, and each of them actually has a way to die." ”
"Although this gentleman sword Feng Mingli usually has a good reputation and a great chivalrous reputation, but the rivers and lakes are sinister, people's hearts are unpredictable, and most of what people see is some superficial things, but many things behind the scenes are unknown. Ye Gongzi still has to be careful. ”
He was still expressionless as he spoke, but there was a deep concern in his words.
Ye Feng's heart couldn't help but move.
He had not seen a single mention of the deceased's guilt written in the prayer post in all the files of the Flying Bats of the Criminal Department.
Originally, he thought that these charges would definitely cause great damage to the reputation of the deceased, so it was understandable that the deceased's family kept it a secret.
Therefore, the vast majority of people in the world should not know the hidden secret.
However, in addition to the big fat man who had reminded him before, Xu Youcai, who was full of Shanxi dialect, Chang Wuyi in front of him actually told the truth in one bite, which shows that he should have known about it early in the morning.
I just don't know where he learned about it?
No matter what, Ye Feng could still feel the concern in Chang Wuyi's words, and he couldn't help but raise his head and cast a grateful gaze at Chang Wuyi.
In the end, they are friends!
