This night seems to be extraordinarily long for Li Shihe, what is the reason why the carrier pigeon is so low, if something happens to the master, Li Shihe doesn't dare to think about it. Although the old swordsman is nearly eighty years old, he often fights boxing and practices martial arts on weekdays, and his health is very good, so he should not die of illness. The old swordsman acted chivalrous in the first half of his life, and in the second half of his life, he had no quarrel with the world, rarely made enemies, and it should not be man-made, thinking like this, Li Shihe was relieved, the old master should be fine, it must be the mother pigeon who had an accident.

Li Shihe thought to himself that if things were so simple, it would be easy to do, and then he would find another companion for the remaining cocks. These thoughts were just excuses for Li Shihe to comfort himself, because Li Shihe tossed and turned and couldn't sleep for a long time.

The next day just dawned, the five people got up in a hurry, washed up, ate some breakfast, packed their luggage, and went to Lijiazhuang, it rained last night, although it was not too big, but the ground was still mixed with mud and water, there were many puddles, Li Shihe and the five people were about twenty meters away from Tang Yuan's residence, and they dismounted, because Li Shihe found that there were many noisy footprints on the road to Tang Yuan's residence, which was the footprint left by a group of people, who bothered Tang Yuan? The five of them did not dare to be careless, and tied their horses to several old locust trees far away. Dou Jingpeng asked the three girls to wait here, not to follow, and then crossed the two houses with Li Shihe, came to the roof of Tang Yuan's residence, and watched.

Li Shihe saw Tang Yuan sitting on a rocking chair in the courtyard at a glance, he was soaked, lying there with his eyes closed without moving, there was a deep sword wound on his neck, due to the rain overnight, although there was not much blood on the wound, but it was already swollen, Li Shihe's eyes were blurred by tears, he couldn't care about anything, he jumped down with an arrow step, and Dou Jingpeng also flew down.

"Master!" Li Shihe shouted hoarsely, and ten people rushed out of the room.

"Master, you're back!" It turned out that it was not someone else who left footprints, but Feng Scar and other ten people, Feng Scar and others had to come to Lijiazhuang to find the swordsman surnamed Tang in order to find the master, who knew that when they came, Tang Yuan was already dead, and several people did not leave in time, but stayed and checked. "Why are you still stunned, this is our head, hurry up and salute. ”

So Feng Daoscar and the other ten people immediately knelt down on one knee, with their left hand as their palm, their right hand as their fist, and their palms pressed into fists, and said in unison: "Waiting for the head of the house for a long time." ”

Li Shihe didn't have this thought at this time, and asked with red eyes: "Scar, who killed the old master?"

Feng Dao Scar heard that Master also called this dead man Master, so he said: "When we came, Master Gong was already dead, and we arrived at the time of a stick of incense before you, and it can be seen from the weight of the wound that Master died yesterday or earlier. ”

"It was yesterday that he died, and it was only yesterday that the changed his normal and sullen. Li Shihe said coldly, yes, the female pigeon must have left a clue, so Li Shihe put his thumb and index finger in his mouth, blew hard, and then looked up at the sky, there was no trace of the female pigeon.

"Master, are you looking for a pigeon?" asked Feng Scar.

"Have you seen that pigeon?" asked Li Shihe eagerly.

"It was dead, and I found a little paper tube under its feet, so I picked it up and found that the paper tube was empty, and now the pigeon was in the room. Feng Scar said.

"Let's go, let's go inside and have a look. Li Shihe said. Dou Jingpeng had already called the three girls over just now, and fifteen people gathered around the courtyard.

Li Shihe and a few people approached the room, and there were still four treasures of the study on the table, Li Shihe said: "Master went to the house again after the arrival of the enemy, and the reason for coming to the room was most likely to write a secret letter to me, and then Master came out, and carried a pot of tea with tea leaves and a few teacups, and then did not enter the house again until the moment of death." ”

"Shihe, how did you know these things?" asked Dou Jingpeng.

"Master is very fond of his study four treasures, after quitting the rivers and lakes in his later years, he is even more obsessed with calligraphy and painting, I often stay with the master, I know that he has a habit, that is, every time the painting and calligraphy are over, he will put the pen, ink, paper and inkstone in order, but the four treasures in front of him are indeed messy, indicating that after the enemy came, he entered the house later, wrote something hastily, and walked out before he had time to clean up. Li Shihe said.

"Master, what is the explanation of the master holding the plate?" asked Feng Scar.

"Master likes to drink tea on weekdays, but he always has a pot of tea and a cup, but there are many cups in the courtyard, and if I guess correctly, Master brought out the plate just to hide the secret of his entry into the house to write letters. Li Shihe continued, "Scar, Master has left a lot of information, but the room has been entered, and many clues have been broken. ”

Feng Daoscar said: "Master, when I came, the back window was open, I heard that it has been raining recently, and if you open the window, the place near the back window will be damp with rain." ”

"People are dead, why do you care so much?" Li Shihe said.

"That's right. Feng Scar said.

"I understand, Master likes to bask in the sun, but the back window is in the north, Master rarely opens this window, and even does not open it once a year, but yesterday he opened it, he must have released the pigeon through the back window, but how could the pigeon die in the front yard?" Li Shihe couldn't figure it out.

"Could it have been shot down with an arrow? Zhao Youjin asked.

"If you shoot with an arrow, the pigeon should be left behind, not in the front yard. Feng Scar said.

"Maybe it's going to the back of the house and picking it up. Zhao Youjin argued.

"You have a point, bring the pigeon and show me it. Li Shihe said.

Zhao Youjin took it, and after Li Shihe and Dou Jingpeng's inspection, Li Shihe was surprised: "It was injured by the long sword, who can stab the pigeon to death with the sword in his hand, and then take back the sword, first get rid of the possibility of picking up the sword in person, few people in the rivers and lakes do this, and this is just our speculation." ”

"There are only two schools of thought today, one is the 'Flying Flower' of the Guiyi faction, and the other is the 'Mind and Qi Mixed Yuan Gong' of the Shaolin School. Dou Jingpeng explained.

"Both sects are suspicious, last time the righteous rescue of the single predecessor and Shaolin formed a bond, a little bit of involvement, but it will not kill the master at all, or the Guiyi faction is the most suspicious, Pang Qiushui will completely affect the master because of me, he killed the master for only one reason, that is, to lure me out and fight him face to face. Li Shihe said.

"If that's the case, Shihe, you have to be calm, don't fall into Pang Qiushui's trap, wait for us to grow up, practice kung fu and then take revenge, it's not too late for a gentleman to take revenge. Just like when the three monsters killed my parents, I also took revenge after many years. Dou Jingpeng said.

"I still want evidence, my master is as kind to me as a mountain, and my affection is deep, just like my reborn parents, if the evidence that Pang Qiushui killed my master is conclusive, I will definitely not let Pang Qiushui go. Li Shihe's fist clenched "creak", "Pang Qiushui didn't intend to kill the master, he must have forced him to ask him something, and he didn't have the essentials before he moved to kill." ”

"I think it's very likely that Pang Qiushui didn't enter the house again when he left. Dou Jingpeng said.

"Why?" asked Simon Without a Trace.

"If the enemy wants the other party to know who the murderer is, then he will not destroy the scene, this is the second thing; since the enemy wants the other party to know who the perpetrator is, why doesn't he leave his name, it is because he doesn't want more uninformed people to know that he is the murderer, this is a matter of reputation. Dou Jingpeng said.

"Well, that's right. Feng Scar kept nodding.

"Jing Peng, come and see what this is, I always feel that I have seen this picture somewhere, three long swords pointed at a pattern that looks like a circle, but this pattern like a circle has been stepped on by footprints and is blurry, and I can't see it really. Dou Jingpeng and a few people surrounded Li Shihe.

"I'm sorry, Master, but these are the footprints of a few of us, and it's us who destroyed the evidence. Feng Scar said.

Dou Jingpeng said: "I have seen this picture, but the original picture is not like this, the original picture is three long swords pointing at a gossip map, not a circular picture. ”

"I know, the upward arrow on the left is the meaning of 'sheng' in the Tiangang knife method, the master must not have had time to draw the Bagua array, so he drew a Taiji Liangyi diagram, and Taiji gives birth to two instruments, two instruments give birth to four elephants, and four elephants give birth to gossip, although this circular internal pattern has been destroyed, but this 'S' shaped curve can still be vaguely seen. Li Shihe turned his face excitedly, "Jing Peng, where have you seen this picture?"

"In the Sword Sect Hall of the Guiyi Sect. ”

"Sure enough, it's Pang Qiushui, whether he admits it or not, the murderer must be him, now that the evidence is conclusive, I don't have to worry about killing the wrong person unjustly, Pang Qiushui and I don't share the same day. ”

"Brother Li, since Pang Qiushui wants you to know that he is the murderer, why do you still study these messy clues. Xiao Kaiyan said.

"Who can find out what he thinks, in case the time comes, he will die and not admit the account, what can we do, I only believe in my own eyes, my own judgment, there is a wrong, there is a debtor, and I don't want to hastily put this case on anyone's head. Li Shihe said.
