A gap was made in the midst of the beggars, revealing a stretcher covered with a white cloth.

The stretcher lay alone at their feet, looking desolate, like a corpse discarded here, covered with a white cloth, unnoticed by the crowd.

It doesn't look like the treatment of a gang's body, it feels like a ...... He's not important.

But just now, these beggars were obviously excited to avenge Hua Li, how could they be unimportant?

Not only the five masters and apprentices of the Nangong Sword Sect, Wang Hai obviously felt strange, and said intentionally or unintentionally, "The former old gang leader is really respected in your Huazi Gang." ”

Hua Xun nodded again and again, "Yes, yes, my ancestor has always been humble and loved by his disciples. ”

At this time, the crowd consciously dispersed, making a way to Hua Li's corpse in the crowded crowd, but Wang Hai didn't seem to be in a hurry to check the corpse, but continued to ask, "I heard that the old gang leader has two sons and a daughter under his knees, and you are the second son." The eldest son is out of flowers, and the third daughter is Huaqin, where is it now?"

Hua Xun was stunned for a moment, two small eyeballs rolled in their sockets, and after a while, he smiled, "The two of them went out to travel in the early years and have not returned yet. ”

Wang Hai looked at him meaningfully, "The Martial Sect Conference is such a big event, haven't the two of them come back?"

"No...... There is no ......"

"Your gang has such a big deal, can you tell them to come back? I want to talk to them a little bit. ”

Hua Xun said with a look of embarrassment, "My brother and sister have been away from home for a long time, and I can't contact them here, and I can't see the governor, please forgive me." ”

Wang Hai's eyes as clear as the sea narrowed slightly, as if he had gathered his gaze into two small sharp blades, which pierced Hua Xun's chest straight through, "That...... That eldest brother of yours really doesn't like you very much. ”

Hua Xun was stunned, "That's ...... How so?"

"He has obviously come to Guangzhou in the past few days, but he didn't tell you, is he deliberately hiding it from you?" This is a question, but Wang Hai didn't want him to answer, and just finished speaking in a calm and natural tone, he walked towards Hua Li's body by himself.

Hua Li, who stayed in place, widened her eyes, as if she had heard some extremely shocking news, and she couldn't come back to her senses for a long time.

Wang Hai came to the stretcher, and after slightly rubbing at Hua Li's body, he instructed the two Xichang fans behind him to lift the white cloth.

Hua Li's body was well preserved, and he didn't die for long, at this time it was as if he was asleep, only a bloody stain on his chest, and it looked like a fatal wound here.

Peeling off the placket of his clothes, revealing his chest, and wiping the blood from the side of the wound, he revealed two extremely deep knife wounds.

These two knives and forks are in the shape of "ten", which seems to be as Hua Xun said, which is caused by the knife technique of the Cross Sword Sect.

Both wounds turned outward, apparently caused by the death, and judging from the location and depth of the wounds, the injury before death was certain death, and there is no doubt about the cause of death, which is a fatal injury.

"Mr. Hanaji. ”

Hua Xun was stunned for a moment, then came back to his senses, and trotted to Wang Hai's side, "What does the governor command?"

"That's what you call a wound?"

"Exactly. This iconic cross knife edge is obviously the work of the Cross Knife Sect, so we speculate ......"

"Mr. Hanaji. Wang Hai interrupted him and said in a deep voice, "Do you know who the 'Shura Knife' in your mouth is?"

Hua Xun knew that this was his knowingly question, and wondered, "He...... He is the first assassin of the Cross Sword Sect, killing people like hemp, and his knife skills are ......"

"He is also the 'Sword Saint', one of the 'Three Martial Saints for Protecting the Country' personally appointed by the emperor, do you know?"

This flower inquiry does not seem to be well-informed, and it seems that he only knows that Feng Zixiu is a sword saint, frowns, and said hesitantly, "That...... After being named a sword saint, will the 'Shura Knife' no longer be an assassin?"

He thought that Wang Hai would use "it is impossible for the emperor to kill innocents indiscriminately" as an excuse to dispel his suspicions about Feng Zixiu.

Unexpectedly, Wang Hai smiled slightly and said, "No, it's just that the reward for killing is more expensive." Seeing that he was dazed, Wang Hai smiled again, "Do you know that this is not a wound caused by the Sword Saint." ”

"Why? Cross knife edge, two stabs killed, isn't it ......?"

"Of course, this is indeed a wound of the cross knife technique, but do you know that with the same cross knife technique, the wounds caused by top masters are different from those caused by ordinary beginners?"

At this point, Hua Xun didn't think about it, "This ...... It's the same cross-edge, what's the difference?"

"Of course it's different. The cross knife technique used by the top masters is enough to kill with one sword. Only raw hands require two knives. ”

Hua Xun was still puzzled, "If this is the case, the wound caused by the master should be in the shape of a 'one'?" Speaking of this, Hua Xun "guessed" Wang Hai's true intentions.

This Feng Zixiu is not only known as the "Shura Knife", but also the emperor's own sword saint, naturally one of the top masters in the cross knife, so the wound he caused should be the word "one", indicating that Hua Li was not under the knife of Feng Zixiu.

However, he guessed wrong.

"No, even the top masters of the Cross Sword Sect will not violate the mark of the Cross Knife Edge, this is their dead rule, and it is also a habit imprinted in their bones. So even if it is killed with a single knife, a knife will be added to the corpse to complete this mark. ”

Hua Xun was still puzzled, "In this way, they are all cross knife edges, so what's the difference?"

Wang Hai expected that he would not understand, and was about to explain, but he heard a ridicule from upstairs, "You are really stupid, the wound caused before death will be turned out, but not after death." ”

At this time, no one in the hall dared to speak, so they listened to the questions and answers between Wang Hai and Hua Xun, and suddenly the voice of a third person came, and everyone looked up.

But I saw a well-proportioned young man behind Nangong Yu looking downstairs with a smile on his face, judging from his expression, the voice just now was made by him.

Wang Hai only glanced at him, then said with a smile, "Isn't this Mu Fan? I didn't expect that he was so well-read and memorized at such a young age, it seems that the county lord is really good at teaching." ”

This is the first time Bai Maxiao has spoken to a eunuch, but it is not the image of yin and yang in his impression, although his voice is sharp, but it is very soft, a bit like a teenager before the voice change period, giving people a feeling of immaturity and kindness.

And he said that he was well-read and memorized, Bai Maxiao was a little ashamed, after all, people who have watched some criminal investigation dramas can tell this common sense of forensic science, but the poor ancients did not have such a blessing as him, and few people in the field of these interesting knowledge are really unknown.

"Grandpa Wang has won the award, haha......"

Bai Maxiao casually snorted, but was glared back at by Nangong Yu.

According to etiquette, he should be called "Wang Dugong", after all, Wang Hai is now here to investigate the case as the Dugong of Xichang, and it is obviously inappropriate to call him Wang Gonggong.

But Bai Maxiao himself definitely couldn't think of this, Nangong Yu wouldn't say it explicitly, and Wang Hai didn't care, Nie Jianfeng and Jianyin didn't understand ancient etiquette, and Tang Shanyu was too young, so this stare made Bai Maxiao a little confused, and he just thought that he was blaming him for talking too much, so he honestly shut up.

Although it was a small episode, it could be regarded as an explanation for Wang Hai, "As the little brother Mu said, there will be a clear difference between the wounds before and after death, so the cross knife wound caused by the top master of the Cross Sword Sect should be a valgus, a wound that is not valgus, and the wound that does not turn out is caused by the sign after death." ”

Hua Xun understood now, and looked down at the knife edge on his father's body, both knives were turned out, so although the murderer was an assassin of the Cross Sword Sect, he was not a master, and it would never be Feng Zixiu.

"Thank you for the teachings of the Governor, we are wrong to blame the county lord. As he spoke, he bowed his hand to Nangong Yu and bowed deeply, "It's a lot of offense, and I ask for forgiveness." ”

Nangong Yu said solemnly, "It's okay. Ling Zun's death, please also mourn the change. ”

Hua Xun sighed and said to Wang Hai, "Duke Wang, we will leave here." ”

"Wait. As soon as they wanted to leave, they were immediately stopped by Wang Hai, "It's not over yet." ”

Hua Xun couldn't help frowning, thinking that he had already apologized to the county lord, even if this matter was a misunderstanding, what else did this Xichang Governor want?

"Niangniang sent me here to investigate Hua Li's death, and now it has not been clarified, Mr. Hua Er is leaving?"

Hua Xun's face sank, "Duke Wang, since my father's body has been examined, please allow me to enter the earth for peace." After that, we will fully cooperate with the Governor's investigation. ”

Wang Hai's good-looking eyebrows furrowed slightly, his chin raised slightly, and he looked at him quietly, his penetrating gaze seemed to pass through him, looking directly into his heart.

His gaze made Hua Xun's dull face a little cloudy, as if thousands of thoughts drifted over his face.

Such a change in expression caught Wang Hai's eyes, and he smiled with some satisfaction, "In this case, the second son of the flower will take Ling Zun back for burial, and Wang will visit in the future." ”

Hua Xun obviously let out a sigh of relief, saluted Nangong Yu and Wang Hai, and with a big hand, the beggars lifted Hua Li's body and left the small inn in a mighty manner.

In an instant, only the empty hall was left, and the tables and chairs were squeezed to both sides, and some even became fragments and spread all over the floor.

The shopkeeper of the small restaurant hid far behind the counter, watching the rest of the people tremble, obviously because they were afraid, but mostly because they were distressed.

When the people of the Hanako Gang walked away, the shopkeeper walked out tremblingly with the support of the guys, bowed to everyone, and said in a trembling voice, "Okay, everyone, I've only stayed in our store for one day, and there have been two or three troublemakers." The small ones can be seen, you are all noble people who are either rich or expensive, and our store is too small to attract all grandparents!"

Looking at the miserable appearance of this shopkeeper, Bai Ma Xiao and the others couldn't cry or laugh, the people who originally came to this small hall were some low-level sects in the martial arts, how could they have the opportunity to meet so many big scenes, they were the county lord and the martial saint, and the governor of Xichang and even the emperor and the queen of the south had come, and they really had never encountered such a situation today in several lifetimes.

Wang Hai walked up to the shopkeeper, stretched out his hand and patted him lightly on the shoulder, and with the other hand, he took out a gold ingot from his arms, "Excuse me, this money should be used to buy your small hotel for a month, and the more is tonight's compensation, and please take care of His Royal Highness the County Lord." ”

This gold ingot is the size of the palm of the hand, not to mention fifty taels, not to mention a month, you can buy the entire hotel with the house and land.
