Chapter 40: Details
Last night, it was Fu Changan's turn to keep vigil. When Shangguan Yi was sleeping, he suddenly heard the sound of various organs being touched, crackling, swishing constantly, mixed with one scream after another, so frightened that he hurriedly got up and opened a crack in the door to watch the situation.
The courtyard was in a mess, a person fell there, I don't know if I was alive or dead, emmm, I shouldn't be able to survive, right? Shangguan Yi looked at this lucky person who had experienced almost the entire set of mechanisms he had arranged, and was suspicious.
And Fu Changan touched the hilt of the sword and sat on the small bench she moved, motionless, and only turned his head to look at Shangguan Yi when he heard the slight sound of the door opening, his beautiful eyes were full of doubts. Shangguan Yi looked at the big guy who was stroked by the stray arrow, and there were also a lot of hidden weapons in front of him, and he almost knelt on the spot. He hurriedly ran over to explain his various ideas, and patted his chest to show that he didn't mean to target her at all.
Fu Changan nodded, the doubts in her eyes did not decrease, and after Shangguan Yi waited anxiously for a while, she finally said: "But you still haven't explained why you shot him like this, you must know that in this case, you can't ask anything at all, and there are very few things that can be seen on the corpse." Could it be that you already know something?"
"This, is this so?" Shangguan Yi was a little suspicious of life, and after engaging in it for a long time, Fu Changan did not suspect that he was deliberately murdering, but wondered if he knew the inside story, but did not tell her.
Shaking his head, Shangguan Yi explained: "I just ignored the issue of keeping alive, as for other things, I really don't know." β
Fu Changan's eyes flashed with a hint of understanding, and asked, "Are you still sleepy?" If you are sleepy, go sleep for a while, and I will go to the house to guard you." β
Shangguan Yi said a little embarrassed: "There's no need for this, I won't die if I sleep, not to mention that no one can slip in from under your nose, right?"
Fu Changan blinked, a little puzzled, and then suddenly seemed to have figured out something, and said with relief: "Yes, your cultivation is still a little lower, and you can't hear it so far." There was an accident in the village, on both sides, and I guess someone died, and there was more than one, but I don't know what kind of situation it was, and who sent this one on the ground. The night is still long, I don't know if something will happen, if you are sleepy, sleep for a while, I will guard you in the house, and it may not be so easy in the next few days. β
Shangguan Yi was embarrassed, and his feelings were that people found out that something was wrong and wanted to take care of himself, but he was stupid and felt that others were making a big fuss, which was really embarrassing. But he didn't refuse, he really needs to have a good night's rest, and he can be mentally fit to face the next challenges, listening to Fu Changan's meaning, I'm afraid it won't be so simple. She has to face things carefully, and Shangguan Yi naturally has to be more careful.
Then the two entered the room, Shangguan Yi slept on the bed, Fu Changan was facing him sideways, facing the door, sitting at the table, she held the hilt of the sword in her hand, as if she was about to pull out the sword at any time to take the head.
Shangguan Yi slept soundly this night, maybe someone was guarding him, the first time he slept peacefully, and he didn't need to be vigilant about anything. Sleeping dead, he naturally didn't know Fu Changan's faint sigh: It's still so easy to trust others, how can people rest assured?
Nothing happened overnight.
The next morning, after Shangguan Yi said good morning to Fu Changan, he hurriedly washed and cooked, ready to reward the big guy who had worked hard all night.
The two of them finished their meal without panic, and then Fu Changan asked Shangguan Yi to move the corpse to the center of the village.
Shangguan Yi was puzzled, but he still did it, if he didn't do this kind of dirty work, would he still let Fu Changan do it?
Then they came to the center of the village, and they saw the general situation from afar. Shangguan Yi's heart tightened, I don't know what happened, so many people died and there was still a war of words in the center of the village, although there was a possibility of a big fight at any time, but... I always feel weird.
Especially when they noticed that Shangguan Yi was carrying a strange corpse, and it was a corpse that had been made miserable, the audience fell silent.
Shangguan Yi had a question mark on his face, he didn't know what the situation was, but Fu Changan could vaguely guess that this person was probably not either of the two camps, maybe he was the key to uncover the truth last night, but he was dead, and he died miserably, I am afraid that there is no clue available anymore, and this clue should be broken.
"Dare to ask this little brother, where did this corpse come from?" On the side of the joint camp, Lin Xiao stared at Shangguan Yi, still looking cynical, but Shangguan Yi felt that his attention was probably on Fu Changan.
The reason why Lin Xiao asked this question was because he knew who and how many people were on the other side in this village. At this moment, he didn't need to look at the face of the corpse to know that this person was definitely superfluous.
As for why Lin Xiao asked first, the reason was actually very simple, among the dead people was a disciple of the Medicine King Valley. There are not a few people from the Medicine King Valley this time, but there are only three disciples, and this is still counting his own situation, and the others can only be said to be servants.
The disciples of the Medicine King Valley have always been precious, because the people who study medicine and are qualified to accept apprentices have very strange tempers, so let them take in disciples on a large scale?
In this way, of course, it is not a way to do it for a long time, so the ancestors of the Medicine King Valley came up with a method, the Medicine King Valley collects servants on a large scale, and those who perform well can become official disciples without exception, so as to solve the problem of lack of manpower and inheritance.
Of course, this is not important, the important thing is that the two disciples this time are just out of the valley to see the world. Now that one of them is dead, or dead under his Lin Xiao's nose, he can't go back and confess, he has to find out the truth and the murderer, and give his master a reasonable explanation.
Shangguan Yi scratched his head and said: "Well, contemptible people know a little tricks, yesterday just in case, I arranged it in the yard, but someone came to break in at night, I don't know how he did it, anyway, it triggered almost all of my organs." Then, it became like this, and I don't know anything else, and it's a vain to ask me, but I want to ask you what the situation is?"
"Something strange happened last night, seven people died on our side, some of them suddenly fell down while walking, never got up again, and their breath was broken. Some people are cultivating when their heart suddenly collapses, and the medicine stone is ineffective. Some are insane, frantically attacking others, and after a quarter of an hour they collapse and die, still for no apparent reason. Everything else is the same, and the cause of the anomaly is not found at all. When Lin Xiao said this, he looked at Miao Jiang's abandoned son opposite, the temperature in his voice cooled a little, and continued: "Three of these situations can be achieved by finding corresponding means among the many methods of Miao Jiang in the rumor. As for the rest, how do we outsiders know about Miao Jiang's mysterious methods, what do you say, Young Master?"
Although Lin Xiao's words were a little angry and had the intention of leading a war, Li Hua did not choose to fight each other, even if he was a little annoyed, but he knew that the conflict could not solve the problem, and the current situation was a bit strange, he had to deal with it calmly, otherwise he might lose everything.
Li Hua took a deep breath and said in as calm a tone as possible: "Last night when we found out about the accident, it was a brother who came to report that we were missing one person, and the situation was a little weird. Then another brother came and said that you guys had a dead person there, the situation was a bit weird, and it was suspected that we did it.
I naturally can't judge what you are slandering us or what the facts are like because of subjective assumptions, I need a little time to verify, so let people tell you to explain after dawn, and then let my subordinates find people or investigate in groups of three, and work all night. It's a pity that I was already very cautious, and in the end there was still a group of people who were attacked, two died, and the last one was unconscious.
The results of the verification also came out, and unfortunately, except for the person who disappeared at the beginning, everyone else had sufficient evidence to prove their movements tonight, and they didn't have time to do it.
We are Miaojiang people, different from you Central Plains people, we have our own beliefs, all the people here dare to swear by their beliefs, and no one has made a move on you so far.
We also admit that we can do the death of your people. But for example, if you take the matter of causing death, there are countless ways to kill people, and you can do it, and so can I. But having the ability to do this doesn't mean that the murderer is you, and I believe there is no opinion on this, right?
What I'm saying is that we don't have the motivation and the capital to do so. First, the cost problem, we can't use those rare Gu poisons to deal with some unimportant people, and killing chickens with knives is the best policy. Second, even if we were to make a move, wouldn't it be obvious that we were the ones who did it, and we didn't think you were fools. Thirdly, we don't want a full-scale war with you, it's not what I want, and I believe it's not something you want to see. So please think calmly and don't lose your sense of proportion because of a little accident. β
As soon as Li Hua finished speaking, a monkey-faced snarky man said mockingly: "The words are beautiful, who knows if this is the case? If nothing else, what about the missing person? Maybe he did it!"
Li Hua's forehead jumped, but he still held back, gritted his teeth and said: "We searched for a long time last night, and finally found his body in my room. I don't know when or how he got to my room, because I've been in the hall. So he doesn't have time to commit crimes, is it okay to say this?" This time there was also an irrepressible anger in his words, Miao Jiang was more traditional than the Central Plains, believing in ghosts and gods, but anyone who died without a crime should not be insulted.
"That is, if any of you do it and still don't admit it, you still believe, what faith do a group of stray dogs who have been expelled from Miaojiang have, and who are you liaring. The man whispered.
Unfortunately, for those present, there is no difference between loud and quiet.
"That's enough, monkey!" The face of the dart master of the Weiyuan Dart Bureau changed, and he just wanted to apologize, when he saw that Miao Jiang had already made a fighting posture. Obviously, it was the monkey's words that poked them at the sore spot, they couldn't bear it, they didn't need to endure it anymore, in the final analysis, this river and lake still relied on their fists.
"Alright, Sun Darthead, hand him over, now is not the time to fight. This sentence was said by Lin Xiao.
"What does Lin Gongzi mean by this? His temper is like this, his mouth is a little stinky, but what he said is also a little reasonable, isn't it? If you are not of my race, their hearts will be different, do you rather believe in foreign races than trust your compatriots?" Sun Dart scolded, obviously unwilling to hand over the monkey, this is related to the prestige of the Weiyuan Dart Bureau.
What he said was a bit vicious, once Lin Xiao had to let him hand over someone, he would sit on a hat of collusion with foreign races, regardless of whether it was true or not, anyway, the rumors were fiercer than tigers, who knows what it would become?
"Heh, a little reasonable?" Lin Xiao smiled, inexplicably sending a chill down his spine, and continued: "Not to mention whether he is qualified to make a big statement here, just by what he said, I have reason to suspect that he wants to provoke a war between the two sides, and he has ill intentions." We don't have an advantage in fighting with them, most of them are negative, and now that this kind of thing has happened, the disadvantage is even greater, does Sun Darthead know? Or do you want to be happy to see us all die, huh?"
"Didn't you beforeβ" the monkey shouted, a little flustered.
"Before, I just wanted to see if any clowns came out to do something, besides, are you really a monkey?" Lin Xiao put away his smile, the coldness in his eyebrows and eyes was undisguised, and his tone seemed to be puzzled, in fact, anyone could hear what he meant.
This person is not a monkey.
"Lin Xiao, what do you mean by this, don't think that you Medicine King Gu is powerful enough to bully us small forces..."Sun Darttou said hurriedly.
"Huh. Lin Xiao sneered, pulled out a soft sword and attacked the monkey, Sun Dart wanted to stop it, but was dragged by the others.
For a while, Miao Jiang hadn't made a move, and the coalition camp had already started infighting. Li Hua didn't let people take advantage of the fire to rob, he faintly felt that Lin Xiao might have discovered a key point, just like the corpse carried by Fu Changan's followers, it was a key point, but it couldn't be connected.
The monkey didn't make any moves at first, but he saw that everyone else was being dragged and couldn't help him, and Lin Xiao was holding the sword, obviously not showing mercy, gritting his teeth, and running away.
When he ran, everyone understood that what Lin Xiao said was true, this person was not a monkey.
Weiyuan Dart Bureau does not have such a body method, nor does it have such a fast body method, so fast that Lin Xiao, who is not very good at light skills, frowned, he can't catch up, even though there are many people with high strength, but he just can't catch up.
When it was too late, it was too fast, and the others only heard "whoosh." The sound of breaking the air sounded, accompanied by a scream, the monkey's right thigh was directly nailed to the ground by a sword, and the whole person fell and couldn't run.
That sword was the one that Shangguan Yi wore on his waist, but the person who threw it out as a hidden weapon was Fu Changan!
The others first sighed in amazement in their hearts, and then continued to chase the monkey, preparing to take him down and interrogate him properly. But I didn't expect this product to be decisive, and directly took a dagger to wipe his neck and committed suicide.
The trail is broken again.
