Chapter 33 The Fifth Head
Chen Yutian and the others followed the fishermen to the river.
Before I arrived, I saw a lot of people around the river, most of them the surrounding people, who were surrounding a clearing of land, talking one after another, and their eyes showed a look of horror.
I faintly heard similar words coming from the crowd.
"Oops...... What a sin......"
"Isn't it, it's really perverted to kill someone without leaving a whole corpse......"
Xing Enming looked at the scene in front of him and frowned slightly.
Then he beckoned Zhou Lin over, and after whispering a few words to Zhou Lin, Zhou Lin nodded slightly, and then took a few people to go before everyone.
Seeing that Zhou Lin led the catchers to disperse the surrounding people and seal off the scene, Chen Yutian nodded slightly.
Then Chen Yutian and other fishermen led them to the two floating corpses.
These were indeed two floating corpses, for their skin was wrinkled, and their clothes were wet, apparently freshly fished out of the water.
Chen Yutian frowned slightly.
As the fishermen said when they reported the crime, the two floating corpses also had no heads. Therefore, the identity of the deceased is still difficult to judge.
The only thing that is certain is ......
Chen Yutian squatted down slightly, picked up the right hand of one of the corpses that was wrinkled by blisters, and slowly lifted the half-wet sleeves, his eyes suddenly narrowed slightly.
Beneath the sleeves of his shirt are the familiar tattoo scars.
Obviously, these two people are also the two of the nine snake heads of the Nine Snake Society.
And it should be the last two snake heads of the Nine Snake Society, except for the murderer Yue Lingxiao, who are still alive!
And now, they're dead too!
This illustrates...... Yue Lingxiao has already achieved his goal, and I am afraid that he will hide as quickly as possible, so that no one can find him.
Thinking of this, Xing Enming's face was a little ugly.
At the same time, he also realized the urgency of the matter!
"If Yue Lingxiao can't be arrested as soon as possible, I'm afraid this case will become an unsolved case, and the murderer will never be caught again......"
Xing Enming frowned slightly.
On the other side, Gongsun has already begun the preliminary examination of the body.
Chen Yutian looked around, then looked at the river in front of him, and his eyes stayed on the old fisherman who went to the yamen to report the case.
"Uncle, you said that these two corpses were fished up from the river, right?"
"yes...... My lord, these two were fished up from the river by me and him......" The old fisherman pointed to his companion beside him, this is a middle-aged man who doesn't look too young, with a scruffy beard, dark skin, and a dignified and honest appearance, and when he saw the old man pointing at him, he immediately scratched his head and smirked embarrassedly.
The old fisherman immediately laughed and scolded: "Silly boy, what are you laughing at? This is the big man in the official yamen, haven't you seen the big master soon?"
While teaching the middle-aged man a lesson, he said to Chen Yutian: "I hope your forgiveness, this is my son, he has been fishing by this river all his life, and he has never seen the world......"
When Chen Yutian heard this, he hurriedly waved his hand and smiled: "Don't say that, uncle, I think this big brother has an honest temperament, he must have asked for a good house?"
Hearing this, the old man's face suddenly showed a happy smile that could not be concealed......
And the middle-aged man listened to the old man's words and hurriedly bowed his head, and said in his mouth: "I've seen the old man......"
Chen Yutian hurriedly smiled bitterly and helped him up.
"Big brother doesn't have to be so polite, let's tell this mansion in detail about the scene when you found these two corpses!"
The middle-aged man nodded, and then said, "The eldest lord is ...... This morning, I went to the river to fish as usual, but who knows, as soon as I arrived at the center of the river with the boat, I saw two things floating up and down in the water in the distance......
The middle-aged man described the scene to Chen Yutian and Xing Enming......
......
......
Early in the morning, a small boat slowly rowed towards the center of the river, and the boatman held the boat while looking around at the lake around him, as if looking for the most suitable place to cast his net.
Suddenly, his gaze froze slightly.
In the distance, on the river, something seemed to attract his attention.
The line of sight slowly narrowed closer, only to see a black shadow floating in the river suddenly appeared in the boatman's sight, the black shadow surged from time to time with the waves of the river, which made the boatman on the boat feel very strange.
"Daddy...... Father...... Come out and see, what's that?"
He shouted a few times at the figure in the canopy, and then saw an old man over the age of sixteen slowly walk out of the tent.
"What's it called, what's it called?"
The old man glared at the middle-aged man rather unhappily and asked.
The middle-aged man pointed to the strange scene on the river.
The old man followed his direction, looked at it for a long time, frowned slightly and shook his head, "I don't know, I've never seen something before, row the boat over and take a look." ”
"Hey, yes, Dad!"
The middle-aged man nodded slightly, and then suddenly slammed into the water and held the artemisia hard.
The boat approached the strange place in the river at an unprecedented speed.
Soon, the boat was rowed to its destination.
The old man stood on the bow of the boat and looked in that direction, and this time he finally saw clearly. But the moment he saw the strangeness of Jiang Xin clearly, his face instantly became extremely pale!
"This ...... It's ......"
The middle-aged man looked at his father suspiciously, and then found that the old man's face was bloodless, as if he had found something extremely terrifying!
"Dad, what's wrong with you?"
The old man was stunned at the bow of the boat for a quarter of an hour, and then he slowly came to his senses, and then quickly dragged his son and said, "Hurry up and prepare the fishing nets......
"Huh?" The middle-aged man was stunned, not knowing what his father meant.
"What are you doing here? Why don't you go quickly?" the old man glared at the middle-aged man fiercely, and then scolded.
The middle-aged man was slightly stunned, handed the bamboo pole in his hand to the old man, and returned to the canopy to get the fishing net.
The old man held the boat wormwood and pushed hard towards the strange place.
"Dad, the fishing net is here, but are there any fish here, what are you asking me to do with that fishing net?" The middle-aged man stepped out of the canopy and looked at his father, who was holding the boat hard.
"You'll know in a minute, why don't you hurry up and prepare for fishing?" the old man said intermittently, and as the words landed, the boat had already arrived at that strange place.
What was floating in the water before also showed its true face at this time.
However, just when the middle-aged man saw the true face of the floating thing in the river, his hands that were firmly holding the fishing net began to tremble involuntarily!
The old man on the side urged: "What are you doing in a daze? Why don't you hurry up and salvage it?"
Hearing his father's urging, the middle-aged boatman realized what his father was going to catch with his fishing nets. But this kind of thing, where can he get his hands on it?
I saw that in the river water, there were two headless floating corpses, floating on the surface of the river, and there was an extremely pungent fishy smell, emanating from the water.
That's the stench of corpses!
"Why don't you hurry up?" urged the old man.
The middle-aged man closed his eyes slightly, turned his heart sideways, endured the pungent stench, and suddenly threw down the fishing net in his hand, directly enveloping the two headless corpses......
......
......
"You said that these two corpses were floating in the center of the river before?" Chen Yutian asked, looking at the mirror-like river that was shining by the sun in the distance.
"Yes. The middle-aged man and the fisherman replied at the same time.
Chen Yutian nodded slightly.
According to the father-son pair's description, the body was in Jiang Xin's position before it was found.
But why are they in that place?
After all, the location in the center of the river is no better than others, and if there is no boat to travel, it is possible to get there by deciding on the light power room.
And if this is the case, then the corpse appears in the center of the river, generally speaking, there are three possibilities.
First, the two deceased had reached the place by themselves, but after they arrived, their heads were mysteriously cut off and they died.
Second, the two deceased and the murderer took a boat to the center of the river, but at this moment, the murderer suddenly attacked, cut off their heads and killed them, and then Ah Jing's headless body sank into the river......
Third, the two deceased were killed and beheaded by the killer somewhere else, and the murderer came to the center of the river in a small boat after all this last night, and sank their headless bodies into the river......
Of the three possibilities, the first of which is the least likely according to common sense.
After all, no master who is out of the body will be idle enough to use light skills to cross the river, because the more advanced the skill, the more he knows how to use internal force, such a method that consumes a lot of internal force and is not very effective, generally only the martial artist who has just peeped the door of martial arts will do it.
The first possibility is ruled out, and the remaining two possibilities are, strictly speaking, possible.
But the chances of the second possibility happening are slim to none.
Because when the deceased learned that the tragedy of the death of his brothers before happened in the hands of Yue Lingxiao, it was inevitable that they and Yue Lingxiao would not be able to sit in the same boat again.
But everything is possible, and Yichen Yutian did not directly rule out this possibility, but waited for the results of Gongsun's autopsy.
Because he had a hunch, Gongsun's autopsy results should also be able to help him and rule out an answer.
Xing Enming stared at Jiang Mian in a daze.
His mind was not on this case at the moment.
Or, to put it mildly, his mind was not on the two corpses in front of him.
All his thoughts at the moment were on the body of the suspected murderer Yue Lingxiao.
After killing the other snake heads of the Nine Snake Society in the past except himself, what would Yue Lingxiao's next move be?
Although it is impossible to be completely sure, it should be impossible to kill someone.
After all, at the moment when all the snake heads of the Nine Snake Society died, his purpose should have been achieved, so it should be impossible for anyone to sacrifice again.
So what will Yue Lingxiao do next?
According to the idea of ordinary people, he will definitely choose to hide, so that the government and everyone will not be able to find him.
But after all the previous signs, Xing Enming knew that Yue Lingxiao was not a person who acted according to ordinary people's thinking.
So what exactly his next move will be becomes extremely difficult to guess.
However, Xing Enming knows one thing very well, no matter what, this is the last chance to arrest Yue Lingxiao, once he misses this opportunity, I am afraid that there will be no way to arrest this murderous murderer in the future.
"Looks like it's going to be a gamble next......"
He muttered to himself.
At the same time, his eyes looked at the Gongsun who was performing the autopsy and the people of the Nine Dragons Mansion who were searching the scene, and frowned slightly.
Then, his gaze slowly fixed on the lower right corner of a boulder not far from the river bank.
I don't know if it's an illusion, he just saw that place, and something seems to exist.
Frowning slightly, Xing Enming touched his chin, took a step, and walked towards the boulder with a puzzled gaze.
"It's ......"
Coming to the boulder, Xing Enming picked up a wooden branch and swept it a few times at the weeds in the lower right corner of the boulder.
At the beginning, there was nothing wrong with it, but at the moment when the suspicion on Xing Enming's face became thicker and thicker, the branch in his hand suddenly came from the other end.
It seems to have hit a hard object.
Xing Enming suddenly frowned.
He slammed his force, and the branch in his hand directly carried a force, pulling out the "hard object" in the grass at once.
I saw a round thing suddenly roll out of the grass, and after rolling on the ground for two or three times, it slowly stopped.
Xing Enming's eyes suddenly shrank!
"It's ......"
......
......
At this moment, Chen Yutian and Xuan Xi in the distance also noticed Xing Enming's movements.
When they saw Xing Enming's sudden change of color after seeing the round thing rolling out of the grass clearly, they immediately glanced at each other, and they both found a faint look of curiosity in each other's eyes.
Xue Tianhan and Ling Miaoyin also noticed Xing Enming.
They looked at Xing Enming's look of fear for a moment, revealing thoughtful expressions.
Bai Fan, Tianying, Tang Fengling, Wu Dongtian, Huo Yuanji, and Lin Feifeitong in the distance also noticed the situation here and walked over curiously.
"Master Xing, what's going on? Why are you so expressional?"
Bai Fan galloped towards Xing Enming from a distance and asked curiously. However, when his footsteps were less than three steps away from Xing Enming's location, he suddenly stopped!
The next moment, a fleeting look of horror also surged on his face!
Seeing this, everyone was even more curious.
Soon, Chen Yutian, Xuan Xi, Xue Tianhan, Ling Miaoyin and others came over to find out, and when they saw the true face of the thing in front of them, they couldn't help but suddenly change their faces!
"This ...... It turned out to be ......"
Gongsun walked over curiously, and the moment he saw the round thing, his eyes suddenly showed an inexplicable brilliance!
I saw that the round thing was exactly one, facing the sky on its back, but its expression was extremely surprised...... Head!
