"No!" Wang Ergou covered his mouth, looking incredulous.

If it is really like what Li Botao said, the murderer is a martial artist passing by here. So who could this person be?

Could it be the black-robed man they met today?

Probably not!

Judging from that person's realm, a fisherman should not be worth his shot.

Li Botao looked at the two with changed expressions and asked, "What's wrong with you?"

Zhang Song cried and laughed and said: "It's not a secret, we met a black-robed master on the way here, this person has no knife in his hand, but he has a knife in his heart, the prosperity of the knife intent is really rare, I am wondering, Meng Huaiyang's death, will it be related to that person?"

"Are there really foreign masters?" Mengjia Village, a poor and remote country, will foreign masters come? Li Botao had just said it casually before, but after being verified, he was surprised.

"Did you fight?" Li Botao looked at the messy traces on Zhang Song's body, thoughtful.

The smile on Zhang Song's face was even more bitter, "Yes, the other party's strength is very strong, if it weren't for the mercy of my subordinates, I probably wouldn't even be able to take a move." ”

"I can't catch a single move, could this person be a master of nine forgings?" Li Botao exclaimed, his expression extremely shocked. A few years ago, when Li Botao first entered the Water Martial Arts Pavilion, he went to Xizhou City for a mission, where he was fortunate to be guided by a Nine Forging Martial Artist, and the strength of the Nine Forging Martial Arts still makes him feel palpitations.

"Nine forgings, maybe!" Zhang Song sighed, and stopped talking. Only by personally fighting that person can you appreciate the horror of that person, the feeling of hopelessness no matter what, it is like a nightmare. Zhang Song even had a bold suspicion, maybe that person had already surpassed the Body Refining Realm!

Li Botao looked at the knife wound on Meng Huaiyang's chest again, and said solemnly: "Do you think that black-robed man killed Meng Huaiyang?"

Zhang Song said confusedly: "I don't know, but I understand one thing, this knife is just as easy as a finger for that person." He suddenly squeezed out a crying laugh, "No! It's not just easy, it's even a little too easy!"

Li Botao seemed to have a cold current on his body, and he said in a creep: "What do you mean?"

Zhang Song squatted down again, pointed to the narrow and smooth hideous wound and said: "If a person's knife technique is practiced to a certain level, even if it is a casual knife, it must have the charm of that realm, I always feel that the charm of this knife is too straightforward, not like the handwriting of a knife master." ”

In Zhang Song's cognition, even the casual knife of the black-robed man was more subtle than this plain knife. It's like a person's handwriting, even if it is deliberately hidden, it is difficult to hide all the traces.

Li Botao smiled bitterly: "In this way, this case will not become a dead case." ”

Cases that cannot be carried out without clues, or even with clues, are often referred to as dead cases.

Desperate cases, desperate cases, in the Southern Tang Dynasty, with a huge population base, there are not a few cases like this, and most of these cases have become unsolved cases in the end.

If this case really becomes an unsolved case, then Meng Huaiyang will really die in vain. In fact, whether Meng Huaiyang died in vain or not had little to do with them, and the reason why they wanted to find out the murderer was just because of their respective missions.

Li Botao wants to avenge Meng Xi, and Zhang Song is the duty.

"Brother Zhang, why don't we go back, I think we really can't handle this case. Wang Ergou, who was already hopeless in his heart, couldn't bear it at first, and became the first person to bow to fate.

Zhang Song shook his head and didn't say anything. There has been no homicide in Shuizhen for a long time, and now that there is a case, they have returned in vain, where does this make the government's face go?

Li Botao looked at Zhang Song and said guiltily: "Brother, I have caused you this time." If I knew this, I should have let this matter go away in the first place. ”

Zhang Song waved his hand and said, "It's too early to give up, since the clues outside the village are gone, why don't we change our thinking and start from the village." I remember that Meng Hou just said that the son of the deceased had suspected a young man named Meng Li, did Brother Li start from this aspect?"

What happened before, it's hard to guarantee that they didn't think too much, maybe the murderer is someone from Mengjia Village.

Li Botao smiled bitterly: "This Meng Li is just a twelve-year-old boy who has never learned martial arts, if you give him a knife, he may not be able to hold it steadily, how can he swing such a clean knife technique, saying that he is a murderer, I don't believe it myself." ”

Although Li Botao had a holiday with Meng Li, he would not take this opportunity to suppress Meng Li. After all, it is a case where human lives are at stake, and no one dares to think about it.

Li Botao is a person in the rivers and lakes, and the people in the rivers and lakes have their own rules, if there is any dissatisfaction, a sword and a sword are fought back, why do you need to be so careful?

"In this way, this Meng Li is not suspicious!" Wang Ergou touched his chin and wondered: "But why did that Meng Qian think that he was a murderer, just because there was a conflict between them?"

Li Botao said helplessly: "I learned about Meng Qian afterwards, he bullied the weak and was afraid of the hard, and liked to take advantage of some small advantages, but once he encountered something, his timid character would be exposed." Before Meng Huaiyang died, they did have some conflicts, but they were just trivial things, and they definitely couldn't reach the point of killing people for this. The reason why Meng Qian framed Meng Li was, in the final analysis, because of jealousy. ”

Wang Ergou said: "Is Meng Qian jealous of Meng Li?"

Li Botao nodded and said, "Yes." As far as I know, Meng Qian admires Meng Rou, the daughter of Meng Jiangxi, but this Meng Rou is a childhood sweetheart who grew up with Meng Li, and it is inevitable that she will be jealous after a long time. ”

"It's still a feud, alas! Young people now, it's really different from ours then. Wang Ergou couldn't cry or laugh.

Zhang Song stretched out a finger and shook it in front of Wang Ergou with a serious expression, "No, you didn't hear the point clearly. ”

Wang Ergou silently recited the three words "Meng Jiangxi" in his heart, and his expression changed, "Isn't this Meng Jiangxi the local fish king? Isn't he in conflict with Meng Huaiyang? But why is that Meng Qian ......?"

Zhang Song said with a smile: "Men and women love, how can emotional things be controlled if they can be controlled?"

"I understand!" Wang Ergou clapped his hands violently, and suddenly realized: "The young man has an impulsive personality, regardless of his father's dissuasion, he fell in love with the enemy's daughter, so he killed his father and blamed his rival. ”

Hearing this shocking remark, Zhang Song and Li Botao looked at each other and were dumbfounded.

"It's a shocking idea. Li Botao covered his chest, looking like he couldn't let go for a long time.

Zhang Song also couldn't cry or laugh, pointed at Wang Ergou's nose and said: "What do you say is in your head? It's a pity that you don't write or tell books with your head." ”

Wang Ergou said: "I admit that my conjecture is a little bolder, but it is also a possibility, Brother Zhang, didn't you also say, make bold assumptions, and be careful to verify?"

Zhang Song's eyelids rolled and he said speechlessly: "But your assumption is inevitably too bold." ”

Li Botao added: "As far as I know, the relationship between Meng Huaiyang's father and son is very good, and Meng Qian is also very in awe of his father, and he can be described as obedient. ”

Wang Ergou seemed to realize the mistake here, scratched his head, and said embarrassedly: "It's a bit exaggerated!"

Zhang Song smiled lightly, turned his head to look at Li Botao, and said with slightly narrowed eyes: "I remember you just said that this Meng Jiangxi is the only martial artist in Mengjia Village today. ”

Li Botao frowned and said, "Do you think Meng Jiangxi is the murderer?"

Zhang Song said: "I can't say that he is the murderer, I just think he is very suspicious." ”

The only warrior in the village, and there is a grudge with the deceased, how can such a person not be suspicious?

"But ......," Li Botao hesitated, "how can you explain the knife wound on the corpse?"

Zhang Song said: "There are many ways to cover up the traces of the sword in this world, and maybe he happens to know one of them." ”

"I understand!" Wang Ergou clapped his hands again and said excitedly: "It must be Meng Qian's courtship that was rejected, Meng Huaiyang went to Meng Jiangxi to theorize after being annoyed and ashamed, and the two fought without saying a word, and as a result, they were killed." ”

Clearly organized, inferred exquisitely, reasonable and well-founded, Wang Ergou even admired himself a little.

Looking at Wang Ergou with a smug face, Zhang and Li were speechless, and after thinking for a long time, they could only say a sentence of "good reasoning".

Good reasoning is not necessarily the truth of the matter, before that, what they need is to carefully verify and restore the truth of the incident little by little.

Li Botao looked at Zhang Song: "What are you going to do next?

Zhang Song nodded, "I need to bring him to Shui Town, if he can cooperate, it will naturally be the best result." ”

Li Botao frowned and said, "Doing this without any evidence, will it cause a bad impact?"

Zhang Song sighed: "This is also a way to do it, our clue is only this one, naturally we can't give up easily, I will take him back to the water town first, and find a way to let my father take a look, with his old man's eyesight, whether the other party has practiced knives or not, naturally it is clear." ”

Practicing the sword to cultivate the will, practicing the sword to cast the soul, a person who is dedicated to the sword technique, his own temperament will be affected by the sword technique, this temperament is not the same kind of difficult to detect. Zhang Song's Taoism is not enough, only his father, who has practiced swords all his life, can do it.

Li Botao got up and walked outside the ancestral hall, and said as he walked: "I won't interfere in the next thing, but it's too late today, and the verification matter will be put until tomorrow.

Hearing that there was food to eat, they ran for half a day, and Zhang Song, who was already hungry, lit up in front of them.
