Chapter 63: Unhappy Breakup
"After many years, now I mention it again, I think of this matter, when Brother Zhang suddenly asked me for leave, saying that he was going out to run errands for a few days, I asked him what was the matter, he only said that he was going to do an important thing, let me not ask, but he promised me that he would never violate the chivalrous way of the rivers and lakes. Ling Hu Wei recalled.
"Where did Deputy Gang Leader Zhang go later, can Linghu seniors know?" Yu Zhong asked again.
I was a little worried, so I followed Brother Zhang out of the door, followed him for more than twenty miles, and only saw him meet a strange masked man in a gazebo. Ling Hubi took the pattern on the paper and looked at it carefully.
"Does the Fox Gang Leader know the identity of that masked man?" Bai Li then asked.
"I wanted to get closer and hear what they were saying, but I found that the masked man's martial arts were very high, and I was afraid that he was still above me, and if he got too close, I would be discovered, so I gave up. Linghu said.
"That masked man is very suspicious, and I am afraid that it has nothing to do with the Bai family tragedy. Yu Zhong thought about it and said.
"With all due respect, if you judge the deputy leader of our Red Gang related to the Bai family's extermination case based on just one palm print, is it a bit hasty. Ling Hu suddenly changed his words.
"I don't know if the old gang leader Linghu knows this thing. Bai Li suddenly took out a brocade bag from his sleeve and took out a jade pendant from it, it seemed to be some years old, and there was a faint red thread in the crystal clear jade pendant.
Ling Hu Bian's face changed, and he said, "Where did Master Bai Zhuang get this? This is my Brother Zhang's belongings, and it can't be wrong." β
"This is back then, when my Bai family was wiped out, I picked it up from my father's corpse, the scene was chaotic, it was Uncle Cheng who took me out desperately, I never showed this jade pendant, and even Uncle Cheng who raised me didn't know. Bai Li showed the jade pendant to Ling Hu to see.
Yu thought in his heart, he didn't expect to help her for so long by Bai Li's side, even he didn't know the existence of this jade pendant, she hid it deep enough.
Peng Zhaonian interjected at this time and said, "It seems that this thing can confirm that when the leader of the White League was killed, the deputy gang leader of your gang was indeed at the scene." β
Ling Hu Wei still didn't want to believe the facts in front of him, and sighed and said: "Hey, I didn't expect this to really have something to do with Brother Zhang, it seems that the old man mistrusted people." β
As soon as Ling Hu said this, his face suddenly became very serious, and he said sharply: "But if because of this incident, the owner of the White Village connived at the killer and slaughtered so many people in my Red Gang, it would be a bit excessive." β
When everyone heard this, their faces changed greatly, and they said solemnly: "Linghu Gang Leader, do you mean that the following thirteen lives of the deputy gang leader of your gang will be counted on the white girl?"
"Otherwise, my Red Gang has been a hundred years old, and I have never had a deep hatred with anyone, and now it seems that only you will be so ruthless as a white girl. Ling Hu said angrily.
"Old Gang Leader Linghu, why are you so indiscriminate, how can I Tiger Roaring Heights Villa be this kind of person who hurts people behind my back. Peng Zhaonian couldn't listen anymore, stood up and slapped the table and replied.
"Peng Laosan, you won't, but it's hard to guarantee that some people are confused by hatred. Linghu said.
"Linghu Gang Leader, you misunderstood, the little woman has never bought murder, let alone made enemies of the Red Gang, otherwise why would I deliberately send it to the door. Bai Li said neither humbly nor arrogantly.
"I'm afraid this is your cleverness, Master Bai, you're doing this so that our Red Gang won't suspect you, otherwise you tell me, besides you, who else will be so cruel to our Red Gang?"
"In that case, what's the point of us staying here, Lord Bai, it seems that we are no longer welcome here. Peng Zhaonian got up angrily and said.
"If we really find out that this matter is really related to your Tiger Roaring Heights, our Red Gang will not give up, so please take it. Linghu said sharply.
"Helper, this ......" Lin Hui also wanted to help Yu Zhong and the others talk, but was stopped by Ling Hu with a gesture.
"In this case, we will retire, but we will clear ourselves, and we hope to let the old fox gang leader take care. Bai Li got up and saluted and said.
Everyone left the Red Gang branch hall in a huff, but they didn't expect that the first meeting with Ling Hu would end up with such a result.
"This makes the fox argue too much. Peng Zhaonian said indignantly all the way.
On the contrary, Bai Li and Yu Zhong were very calm.
"Third Brother Peng, don't get angry, in fact, in my opinion, the old gang leader Linghu is not such an unreasonable person, I'm afraid what he just said is for another reason. Bai Li said.
Yu Zhong thought secretly on the side, since this Bai Li became the owner of Tiger Roaring Heights, she has become more and more calm, and she is no longer as simple and naΓ―ve as she was when she first met, but with such a blood feud, she must have been suppressing the hatred in her heart, and it was also very hard.
"Actually, what Limei said makes sense, according to my observation on the side, this makes the old fox gang leader really not like such an indiscriminate person, let's wait and see what happens. Yu Zhong said.
Everyone said goodbye for the time being, Bai Li and Peng Zhaonian returned to the inn, and Yu Zhong and others also returned to the Salt Gang Courtyard.
As soon as Yu Zhong and the others entered the courtyard, they happened to bump into Wang Qing head-on.
"Yo, Yu Shaoxia is back, I've heard that last night your Red Gang branch fought against the mysterious killer, and you were majestic. Wang Qing said with a smile.
"Lord Wang Helm has won the award, and if it weren't for the help of Master Peng San of Tiger Roaring Heights, it would be difficult for me to get out of the way. Yu Zhong said.
"It seems that this murderous martial art is really unfathomable, and it takes Yu Shaoxia and Peng Tieqian to join forces to repel it. Wang Qing said.
"It's a pity I'm not here, I'm going to break the killer's leg and see how he runs. Yu Feiyan said on the side.
"Come on, I'm afraid you won't even be able to touch people's hair. Yu Rong sneered.
"I think you're begging for a beating. Yu Feiyan chased Yu Rong, and the two quarreled again.
"Yu Shaoxia, take a step to speak. Wang Qingshen mysteriously invited Yu Zhong to the inner hall.
"Lord Wang, please have something to say. Yu Zhong said.
"The people in our gang, after a secret visit, found an interesting thing, the twelve hall masters who were killed one after another by the Red Gang all have a common characteristic, they have all followed Zhang Moqian since ten years ago. Wang Qing said in a low voice.
"What? Could it be that this killer is specifically targeting Zhang Moqian and his former cronies?" Yu Zhong asked in shock.
"That's probably what it looks like. Wang Qing replied.
"Who else is there in the Red Gang, who has followed Zhang Moqian's ...... since ten years ago" Yu Zhong spoke, and suddenly thought of someone.
"That's right, there is also the hall master of the Fengcheng branch, Lin Hui. Wang Qing said word by word.
Yu Zhong thought secretly, if he followed this clue to reason, I am afraid that the killer's target that night was Lin Hui, but he and Peng Zhaonian happened to stop him on the spot. But why did the killer target Zhang Moqian's former subordinates? Could this really be related to the tragedy of the Bai family? But what is the identity of the killer, is it really related to Bai Li, as Ling Hu said?
A series of questions in the center of gravity could not be dissipated for a long time. I thought that I would be able to find clearer clues when I got to the Red Gang, but now the situation is more complicated and difficult to distinguish.
However, if you deduce according to the law of this killer's killing, I'm afraid he still won't let Lin Hui go, but now that Ling Hu Wei has arrived in Fengcheng, I'm afraid this killer is not so easy to get his hands on.
Now the most important thing is how to find the most critical point in this complicated clue, so that maybe the whole mystery will be solved.
"By the way, I have a pattern here, Lord Wang, see if you have seen it. After Yu Zhong finished speaking, he dipped the tea and drew the pattern that Lin Hui told them on the table.
"Hey, this pattern seems to be the family crest of the Helan family. Wang Qing said.
"The Helan family, the Helan family in Xijing Mansion?" Yu Zhong asked.
"That's right, it's the Helan family, the current leader of the martial arts alliance, the Helan family of Helan Que. Wang Qing emphasized again.
"Are you sure, Lord Wang, this matter is very important!" Yu Zhong asked again.
Wang Qing looked at it carefully, and said with certainty: "I'm sure, I often go to Xijing Mansion when I walk salt, I am too familiar with this symbol, the family crest of the Helan family." β
Yu Zhong thought to himself, it seems that the masked man who Zhang Moqian had a secret meeting with in private back then was a member of the Helan family, but there are many people in the Helan family, and it is not known who he is, but this should be a major breakthrough.
"Yu Shaoxia, why are you asking the Helan family about it, is there anything important?" Wang Qing asked.
"It's okay, just ask. Yu replied. Now it seems that this Helan family may have a great relationship with the Bai family tragedy, but before there is real evidence, this news, Yu Zhong does not plan to say it, if this news spreads, I am afraid that it will be a martial arts shock, and the rivers and lakes will be turned upside down.
Yu Chongzheng was thinking about it, only to see Feiyan and Yu Rong come in playfully.
"Big brother, now that the Red Gang has turned against us, I don't think we need to stay in Fengcheng, let's go find Sister Bai and help her investigate the case together. Feiyan said.
"Big brother, what should we do next?" Yu Rong also asked.
"This has made the old fox gang leader's attitude turn around today, and it is very strange, and I think there may be something he hasn't told us. I want to go to the Red Gang at night, and the next target of the mysterious killer is likely to be the Lin Hall Master, so I feel the need to remind him. Yu Zhong said.
"Hey, big brother, what do you care about them. Feiyan said angrily.
"We are all people in the rivers and lakes, how can we not save us when we die, not to mention that Hall Master Lin has always been polite to us. Yu replied.
