When the raindrops began to fall from the sky, Su Yao came back from the street alone.

Li Suifeng, who had been guarding the door, welcomed her into the courtyard and poured her a cup of warm tea from the table. "How's it going?" asked Li Suifeng.

Su Yao drank all the tea in the cup and said, "Something is wrong." ”

"What's wrong?"

"Twelve people died in the city in one night, and all their bodies were hung on the Lianshui Bridge in the city. Su Yao said: "That Luo Sanyuan was also taken away by the government. ”

"It is said that he was near the Lianshui Bridge last night. The Fu and Lin families are now locked and do not let people enter or leave. Poyang County has a relationship with the Lin family and the Fu family, but now they are quite flustered, and several families are gathering people, and they don't know whether to go to the Lin family to discuss the law, or what they are guarding against. ”

Li Suifeng was stunned in place for a long time.

Black clouds overwhelmed the city, and heavy rain poured down.

Li Suifeng held the long sword in his arms, his brows furrowed. He stood by the Lianshui Bridge, letting the pouring rain drench his clothes. Before the horrific corpse could be contained, it was only taken down by the government officials, hastily placed in the corridor on the side, and covered with a layer of white cloth. The rain fell to the ground, flowing freely, and it took on a hint of crimson - it was a bloody stain washed away by the rain.

"Smack!" a dazzling flash of lightning flashed in the sky, followed by thunder. Su Yao, who was chasing behind Li Suifeng, was late with an umbrella. She saw Li Suifeng standing in the courtyard in the rain, and hurriedly opened the paper umbrella in her arms, and while handing it to Li Suifeng, she asked angrily, "What are you doing all of a sudden?"

"My clothes are wet, and there is no need to hold an umbrella anymore. Li Suifeng didn't accept the paper umbrella handed by Su Yao, but just wiped the rain on his face, and said: "The rain washed away most of the traces, and almost all the useful clues have been erased." ”

"Let's go back first. Su Yao said.

"Don't worry, I'll go see the corpse. Li Suifeng said: "You can go to shelter from the rain first." ”

Su Yao had no choice but to go to the eaves on the side and wait for Li Suifeng. Li lifted the white cloth covering the corpse with the wind, reached out his two fingers and pressed lightly on the deceased's corpse. After a while, Li Suifeng, who had examined all the corpses, got up and said: "The bones are displaced, the arm bones are pushed to the shoulders, the leg bones are pushed into the pelvis, and the ribs and spine are all piled up in one place...... Without the foundation of the doctor's orthopedics, he can't use such a vicious method...... The hanging knots are all boatmen's knots......"

"Have you got a result?" asked Su Yao.

"I'll make sure. Li squatted down with the wind and used his fingers to adjust the position of one of the corpse bones slightly. For this action, he deliberately blocked Su Yao's sight with his back and didn't let her see it.

"How?"

"It's a bit of a result. Li Suifeng listened to the sound of the rain, and while drying his clothes with true qi, he said, "Wait a while and then go back, maybe there are some unexpected gains." ”

Su Yao didn't understand what Li Suifeng meant, so she had to look at his delicate side face and ask, "What are you waiting for?"

"I don't know. Li Suifeng's face was still mixed with a hint of childishness, but his eyes were extremely deep when he was contemplative. Su Yao followed his gaze and also looked into the distance. The two of them stood on the eaves like sculptures, silent, only the sound of pouring rain.

After a long time, the light of dawn was slightly dewed, and the rain gradually stopped. The dark clouds finally cleared, revealing a clear blue sky. After the rain, the bluestone slab has mottled water stains and reflects a little sunlight. Li Suifeng sighed lightly and said, "Let's go." ”

"What are you waiting for?" asked Su Yao, following behind him.

"Waiting for you. Li Suifeng looked back and said. The corners of his mouth were gently raised, revealing a faint smile.

"I don't know. Until the end, Su Yao still couldn't know what Li Suifeng was waiting for.

——

Late at night, Jiang Ci and Su Yao were already asleep. Li walked out of the small courtyard quietly with the wind and walked alone into the dark alley of the back street.

"How?" he asked.

"The twelve are unrelated households. ”

"Is there a connection?"

"Still investigating. ”

"Except for the Fu family, you can check whether they have any connection with the Lu family and the Lin family. Li Suifeng said: "Maybe it was a few years ago. ”

"We'll do it ourselves, so we don't have to point fingers. ”

"How is Luo Sanyuan doing?"

"It's not unusual. ”

Li Suifeng bowed his head slightly and said, "Hard work, everyone. ”

"Excuse me. ”

Li Suifeng looked at the beggar in tattered clothes in front of him but with a look on his face, and slowly arched his hand. Then, he put the coin of Dayan Xuanyuan in his hand into his sleeve and turned to leave.

Quiet and dark alleys, as if no one had ever come.

The moon is bright and the stars are scarce, but it is foggy.

——

In the early morning after a rainstorm, the air is filled with a faint smell of earth.

Su Yao went to the vicinity of Fu's house to continue to inquire about the news. Li Suifeng took Jiang Ci and Uncle Zhong to the Lin family.

On the way, Jiang Ci asked Li Suifeng: "What about the Sanyuan brothers? ”

Li Suifeng replied: "The Fu family's case has nothing to do with him, if he is only detained and investigated, he should be safe within a few days." The most important thing now is to find out the connections between them and find out who is behind them. Otherwise, it is to go to the yamen to ask for someone, and it is difficult to do it without evidence. ”

While talking, several people walked to the door of Lin's house. I saw a few fierce and vicious family members holding sticks and guarding the main entrance. Li Suifeng felt that something had happened in the Lin family, so he motioned for Jiang to take half a step back. He put his hands on his chest, stepped forward and said, "Li came with the wind to the appointment of recruiting relatives in the martial arts competition the day before yesterday." ”

Unexpectedly, these family members actually danced sticks, drove Li Suifeng away, and shouted: "Go, go, go!

Li Suifeng easily avoided the stick, took out a few pieces of silver from his sleeve and stuffed them into the hands of the family. He said, "Guys, what's going on in your mansion to be so nervous?"

Several family members were also the masters who saw the money, and they accepted the broken silver, and they also took it. The leading family member said mysteriously: "Li Gongzi, the Lin family's martial arts competition to recruit relatives will not be able to open for a while." ”

"What's going on?" Li took a step into the fork with the wind, and walked with the family to a secluded place by the wall.

"Miss Lin, it's lost!"

"Lost?"

"Yes, yesterday I was at home during the day, and in the evening, the person disappeared and disappeared without a trace. ”

Li Suifeng looked at the Lin family's high-walled compound and said, "When is it?"

"Then who knows. The young lady has the habit of going to bed late, usually in the middle of the day, the maids will go to ask the young lady to sleep, which is known in the house. When the maid went last night, the young lady was not in the room. I searched around, but I couldn't find it. ”

"Are there any signs of a fight in the room?"

"Then I don't know. The family said: "The master didn't let the official report to the official, saying that this was a matter of the Jianghu people, and only let us guard the porch, not allowing people to enter or leave, and scattered people to find the traces of the young lady." Now, even the life and death of the young lady are not clear. ”

"Thank you. Li Suifeng nodded, turned around and told Jiang Ci about it.

Jiang Ci snorted his teeth and said, "Why is it so messy to recruit relatives in a martial arts competition?" You say, where can this daughter of the Lin family go?"

"It's even more difficult for her to enter the Lin family when she runs, like an iron bucket. Li Suifeng sighed and said, "Let's go, go to the mansion." ”

"Did you go to Luo Sanyuan? Didn't you say that you had to have evidence to do it?"

"Go find Miss Lin. ”

"What?" Jiang Ci was confused.

Li Suifeng said: "If someone hijacks it, then we will never find it easily." But if she sneaked out, there must be a reason. ”

Jiang Ci suddenly realized and said, "She's going to find Luo Sanyuan!"

"That's right, then Miss Lin must have appeared near the mansion, let's go look for it, and we will definitely find traces. ”

"Let's go. ”

Li Suifeng shook his head and said, "Jiang Ci, you go with Uncle Zhong." If you can find someone, delay the army first, and don't let her be taken back to the Lin family. We will meet at the lodge before the end of the day. ”

"What are you going to do?"

"Go find Dao Huanye. Li Suifeng said: "He is the most suspicious person now, and I want to follow him." ”

"He's a master of the nine grades, so it's better to let the old man go. Uncle Zhong said.

Li Suifeng shook his head and said: "Following Dao Huanye is only one of them, and the other is the murderer of the Fu family, this person is ruthless and proficient in the doctor's technique of dividing muscles and bones, Uncle Zhong, you don't understand medicine, in case you encounter it along the way, it is difficult to distinguish." ”

"Well, then you have to be careful. Jiang Ci instructed.

"Rest assured. ”
