Volume 1 Troubled Boys Chapter 43 The Suspect Who Didn't Appear
The woman in white didn't even turn her head, the cold light in her hand flashed, and she stabbed directly at Cheng Min's eyebrows, but Cheng Min didn't move and closed her eyes.
With a hint of cold wind, Han Tie seemed to be whistling between his eyebrows, but in the end he stopped less than a finger away from the center of his eyebrows, and did not continue to move forward.
Even so, a short sword more than two feet long and glittering with cold light was enough to make people fearful.
Cheng Min opened his eyes, and between his eyebrows was Sen Han's short sword.
He smiled, the shadow of the sword in his eyes quickly disappeared, and then he saw a beautiful face.
"After many years, I didn't expect you to still not be able to start"
White Narcissus's beautiful eyes flashed with unspeakable hatred, and she gritted her teeth in hatred, but she still couldn't stab the sword at him after all.
"What are you still looking for me for?"
Cheng Min didn't dare to move a little, for fear that he would accidentally touch the sword not far from his eyebrows, after all, if he could not die, no one would want to die.
"I ...... In the investigation ......"
"It's your case again, I remember saying that if I met you again, I would definitely kill you......"
Cheng Min grinned, the muscles on his face a little stiff.
"Xiaobai, if we don't want to do it for the time being, do you want to put this Ju Soul down first......?
The anger in White Narcissus's beautiful eyes was unabated, but it was obvious that there was no killing intent.
The short sword was taken back by her, and then said coldly: "You are still like that......"
"I ...... I've never changed, it's just ......"
Before he could finish speaking, White Narcissus interrupted him: "It's just what, it's just that you left me alone to find your so-called justice all the time?"
"After all these years, have you found it?"
Cheng Min seemed to choke on his throat, not knowing what to say, for a long time, before he said suddenly: "Maybe I was really wrong back then, but at that time, it seemed that such a choice was the best, you know that there is no room for fire and water between the two factions, and even if I want to take you away alone, your master and her ......"
He didn't say any more, and all his words could only turn into a sigh.
Now that the past has passed, even if it can be clarified, even if it can be forgiven, there is no chance to choose again.
Moreover, he didn't come to see her this time for the past event.
"Let's go, although I can't kill you, I don't want to see you again......" Bai Shuixian's eyes suddenly had no hatred, but calmly made him a little overwhelmed.
If love can represent an emotion, then hate at least shows that he still cares, and there is only peace, so that he cannot see hope.
Cheng Min looked at the deep path in front of him, as if he could see a back slowly departing from there.
"Do you know that Kang Yulong's death is the most suspicious?"
Hearing this, Bai Shuixian frowned slightly, looking at him, there seemed to be some emotion in his eyes that suddenly flashed, but he didn't fully capture it, because he felt that he couldn't stand her in his heart, so he still didn't dare to face her gaze.
"I know what you want to ask me, but that's a secret in the door, and I advise you to dispel such thoughts as soon as possible......"
"And ...... You suspect him because there's so much you don't know...... He...... Must not be a bad person......"
After that, Bai Shuixian didn't look at Cheng Min again, but walked over gently, and the two passed by, as if they had never crossed paths, and then returned to the door.
She didn't see it, and at the moment when the two passed by, Cheng Min's body trembled slightly.
He didn't look back, just like back then, after passing by, no one looked back again.
Cheng Min has also thought countless times about what the result would be if he could persist again.
Bai Shuixian returned to the room, the lights inside had not been lit, Cheng Min could only sigh lightly, and said to himself: "It's all over...... Why talk about it back then......"
......
Night fell, but the candles in the antechamber were lit up at the moment.
It was full of people again, but this time it was not as silent as last time, and many people were discussing, and they were suspicious, not knowing what kind of clues Cheng Min, who was in charge of investigating the case, had.
The fourth uncle sat on the chair, his eyes were locked, looking at everyone in the room, he still couldn't see any expression on his face, he had followed Wan Ruhai all these years, the people he had seen, and the things he had experienced were too many.
Luo Bei has been staring out the door, he wonders why Cheng Min hasn't come yet, when he came out, he turned over and jumped on the roof, I don't know if there is something new to discover?
At this moment, Cheng Min appeared, his steps were very slow, and behind him were four messengers, each holding a waist knife in his hand.
The moment they walked in, the chatter in the room stopped instantly, and everyone seemed to hold their breath and focus their eyes on him.
Cheng Min glanced at everyone sitting in the room as he walked, and this time he didn't let all the maids and servants in the house gather, because those people couldn't have anything to do with this matter at all.
His gaze finally stayed on Luo Bei, and then nodded slightly.
Cheng Min nodded slightly to the fourth uncle, and then asked, "Fourth uncle, has everyone arrived?"
The fourth uncle stood up, looked at the people in the room, and then said, "Except for Mr. Yan Chunliu, everyone else has arrived......"
Cheng Min smiled mysteriously and said, "I didn't expect today's protagonist to come ......."
Hearing him say this, the expressions on everyone's faces became strange.
Madame Feng was surprised and asked, "What does Cheng Zhutou mean?"
"It can now be concluded that Kang Yulong's death was not accidental, but that someone sneaked into his room and killed him in a special way......"
Cheng Min said as he observed everyone's expressions and found that the expressions on everyone's faces were different.
"But there were no wounds on his body, and there were no signs of a fight even in the room...... Liu Feiyan said.
"This girl is right, and this is what I came to after inspecting the site that day...... But this doesn't mean that there is no possibility of him killing, the night before yesterday, this Luobei prince saw a dark shadow appear outside the window of the Kang brothers and sisters at night, but was discovered by Kang Yu, so she walked out of the door with a sword......"
"However, before that, three hidden weapons such as silver needles were sent out of the house to hit the black shadow outside the window, presumably the fourth uncle should know very well that the Kang brothers and sisters should be masters of hidden weapons......
The fourth uncle nodded and said, "Indeed, their brother and sister were originally descendants of the secret weapon family in Shuzhong, and it was only because of the poison of the red fire scorpion in Kang Yulong's body that they came to the mansion to ask the master to exorcise the poison for him......
"So there's nothing wrong with ......"
"But that doesn't mean how Kang Yulong died, and why did Kang Yu disappear?" asked Liu Feiyan.
"Kang Yulong's death was indeed not caused by any sharp weapon, but died from a strange incense ......," he said, his eyes consciously or unconsciously looking at Bai Shuixian who was sitting in the crowd without saying a word.
White Narcissus had no expression on her fair face, as if what they said had nothing to do with her, so she didn't care.
"I think the fourth uncle should have heard of it after following the Wanshen doctor for so many years......" Cheng Min looked at the fourth uncle and said with a smile.
"Tell me about it?"
"Bone Agarwood ......"
Hearing this name, most people didn't have much of a surprised expression, but the fourth uncle's face suddenly changed drastically.
"What Cheng Zhutou said is convinced?"
Cheng Min didn't say much, but took out two small bags wrapped in handkerchiefs from his arms, and then opened them layer by layer, and he handed one of them to Luobei.
"Can you see the difference between these two types of incense ash?"
Luo Bei took the incense ash in the package and showed it to everyone.
"There seems to be a difference in color," said Wen Qingqing, who had not spoken...... all this time.
Cheng Min looked at Wen Qingqing with a smile and said, "This girl is right, it is difficult to see any difference between these two kinds of incense ash if they are not put together, but one of them is all the gray-brown color of ordinary incense ash, and the other is gray-white......
At this time, no one spoke, and they were all quietly waiting for him to give an answer.
"You may not know that the reason why this bone-taking agarwood has such a special color is mainly because it contains a very rare animal bone, which is probably why it has such a name......
"As for its function, I think the fourth uncle should have heard of it......"
The expression on the fourth uncle's face flashed with a hint of surprise, but he quickly regained his composure.
"I heard that the medicinal properties of this agarwood are enough to make people with strong martial arts temporarily lose their cultivation...... As for a person like Kang Yulong, who is highly poisonous, I am afraid that he will be directly killed by this violent medicinal property......"
Cheng Min nodded and said: "This can explain why Kang Yulong's death is like falling asleep, without any pain, and it can be concluded at the scene that there was a third person in addition to the Kang brothers and sisters that night, I think everything was done by that person, and he robbed Kang Yulong while killing Kang Yulong with agarwood......"
"Now back to what I just said, the black shadow outside should be the person who used agarwood that night, he used agarwood to kill Kang Yulong, and at this time, Kang Yu, who has martial arts, just lost his ability to resist, so he was easily robbed by him......"
"But who is that man, and why did he kidnap Kang Yu?" asked Madame Feng.
Cheng Min smiled mysteriously and said: "This person is actually in the house, and he happened to be injured by three hidden weapons sent by Kang Yu without defense, and the bloodstains left by the Kang brothers and sisters outside the window are enough to prove this......"
After that, he set his eyes on Luobei, and when everyone saw Luobei nodding, they knew that what he said was true.
"As for who he is, I think the wounds left by those three hidden weapons on his body should not have healed yet......"
"Now it's easy to explain this by asking everyone to go to the back and check each other to see if there are any injuries on their bodies......"
Everyone went to the next room to examine their injuries under the guidance of a servant, and soon everyone returned to the antechamber.
The maid and servant told everyone the results of the examination, and no wounds were found on anyone's body.
Cheng Min touched his beard with his hand, smiled and said, "This is expected, you don't have to wonder......"
"But no one has any injuries on their bodies, so ......" Liu Feiyan quickly closed her mouth as soon as she spoke.
"What the girl said is good, since everyone present is not injured, then the murderer is not among everyone, obviously, there is only one person in the whole house who did not appear, and that person is the biggest suspect......"
He suddenly accentuated his tone and said, "That's Yan Chunliu......"
Although everyone was already prepared, they were still a little surprised when they really heard this name, because Yan Chunliu had always been extremely low-key since he came to the mansion, and he had never had too much contact with anyone, and he never imagined that this person would be the murderer of Kang Yulong.
"But why did he do that?" asked Lady Wind.
"This ...... I think they should have been familiar with each other before they came to the mansion, otherwise he wouldn't have been so calm when he appeared in front of the Kang brothers and sisters......" Cheng Min said with a sigh, as if he also felt sorry for the three of them.
At this moment, two young servants suddenly broke in from outside, panting and said, "Four...... Fourth Uncle, Kang ...... Kang's room caught fire......"
The fourth uncle was shocked and frowned, "What? are you talking about the room of the Kang brothers and sisters?"
The two men nodded vigorously in shock.
Everyone was surprised to hear the news, and at this time, a white figure had already been the first to rush out.
After everyone heard the news, they all hurriedly followed, leaving Cheng Min and Luo Bei alone.
Luo Bei walked to Cheng Min's side and saw that he had been standing there looking out of the door, so he said, "Shall we hurry over?"
Cheng Min said something very strange.
"Why is she so nervous? Could it be that something is wrong with me......
"Hey, it might be too late if you don't go over......" Luo Bei didn't know what he was talking to himself, but he knew that the fire wouldn't leave them much time to burn.
At this time, Cheng Min had suddenly jumped out, almost using all his strength.
Luo Bei became more and more puzzled by Cheng Min, as if there were more things he couldn't understand, so he could only scratch his head helplessly, and then hurriedly followed.
