Chapter 42 A letter, three people
There was silence in Gyeonggi Mansion, and everyone was almost immersed in the words that Tatsu Yutian had just spoken.
Indeed, judging from this aspect, the body found at the scene of Wu Chengtian's murder should indeed be Yue Lingxiao's.
In other words, the murderer they thought was Yue Lingxiao, from the beginning, did not exist.
On the contrary, the deceased Wu Chengtian, whom they thought was not dead, was probably hiding somewhere, watching their jokes.
"Wait......"
Gongsun looked confused.
"I just thought that if the murderer was Wu Chengtian, then the remnant of the painting in Meng Xingyun's room should have been hidden there by him, right? But how did he know that Meng Xingyun also lived there?"
"If he just had contact with Yue Lingxiao, it shouldn't be possible for him to know that Meng Xingyun was also there!"
Ling Miaoyin also frowned slightly.
"In this way, he not only had contact with Yue Lingxiao, but also met with Meng Xingyun?"
Bai Fan touched his chin, and a gleam flashed in his eyes.
"Could it be...... Meng Xingyun was also killed by him?"
"Very likely, after all, Meng Xingyun also wants the remnant map in his hand, plus if that guy really chooses to kill and seize the treasure as analyzed by Brother Chen, he will inevitably ambush near the martial manor, so that the chance of colliding with Wu Chengtian will be very great. ”
Huo Yuanji nodded slightly.
In other words, Wu Chengtian first killed Yue Lingxiao, who came to ask him for the remnant picture, and left the scene in disguise as the other party, and then met Meng Xingyun, who also wanted to get the remnant map, not far from the martial manor, and killed him and then moved his body elsewhere. ”
Tang Fengling concluded.
Chen Yutian nodded, "Yes, this speculation is reasonable. ”
At this moment, Xing Enming's eyes suddenly lit up.
"I see...... However, there is another question, that is, why is there a difference of more than half a month between Meng Xingyun's case and the third case after that?"
"I think the reason for this problem should be the same as ours. ”
"Huh?" Xing Enming was slightly stunned!
The others were also stunned for a moment.
The light in Xuetian's cold eyes suddenly soared, and after a little contemplation, Gongsun also showed a sudden look.
"What do you mean...... The reason why there is a gap of half a month between these two cases is because the other snake leaders of the Nine Snake Society and the people of the Heaven Covering Sect are all on their way like us?"
"Yes, since the Heaven Covering Sect sent Yue Lingxiao and the others into the capital to ask for the remnant map, then the others are bound to not be in the capital, but after the Meng Xingyun case, their manpower in the capital was completely wiped out, in order to regain the remnant map, they are bound to send additional people to the capital, and it will inevitably take time for these people to come to the capital, which is why there is a gap of half a month in the second and third cases. ”
I see, it makes sense. ”
Chen Gong nodded slightly and looked at his son with satisfaction.
Xing Enming also nodded abruptly.
At this time, Zhou Lin hurriedly walked in.
"Your Excellency, there's a letter from outside the door. ”
He handed the envelope in his hand to Xing Enming.
Xing Enming opened it and glanced at it, his expression suddenly changed.
Then he handed the letter to Chen Gong, who took a look at it and motioned for him to give it to Chen Yutian.
Chen Yutian opened the letter and glanced at it, his brows furrowed slightly, and an inappropriate smile suddenly appeared on his face.
"Looks like someone is one step ahead of us......"
Everyone in the hall looked at him in confusion, not knowing what he meant.
Xing Enming frowned slightly, and then looked at Chen Yutian.
"So how do we deal with it?"
"Since the other party has already sent us an invitation, then we naturally can't be rude, just plan it...... But I guess since they invited us, we shouldn't miss the other side, right?"
"The other side?"
Xing Enming was stunned, and then realized that what he said should be the force behind the Nine Snakes Society.
The others watched curiously as they talked.
Chen Yutian looked at everyone and smiled, and then passed the letter to everyone.
After everyone watched it, they finally understood what the conversation between the two of them meant.
I saw only one sentence on the letter:
"Wu Chengtian is here. ”
Below, there is a rough map drawn in a hurry, and it is vaguely visible that the location shown on the map is a barren mountain.
"This handwriting, and this map......"
Ling Xiaowu looked at the map on the letter, and a sense of déjà vu came to his mind.
The next moment, a flash of essence suddenly flashed in his eyes!
"I remember, isn't this just the letter that pointed me to the scene of the crime three times and twice? The handwriting on it is exactly the same as that one!"
Hearing this, everyone in the Nine Dragons Mansion was taken aback!
Only Chen Yutian smiled, looking at the envelope left in his hand, his eyes instantly became sharp.
"In that case, let me see if this three-way game is you, the trader, profiting, or is one of us anti-customer-oriented?"
......
......
Meanwhile.
In a luxurious place, the cave solver clutched the full letter paper in his hands with both hands, and his brows furrowed slightly.
"Taking the initiative to send a letter to tell us Wu Chengtian's whereabouts at this time shows that the other party has bad intentions. ”
"yes...... This is indeed a very obvious trap. ”
A calm voice came slowly.
The brow of the cave release machine immediately furrowed even more.
"Crunch ......"
The door of the inn suddenly opened, and a familiar figure appeared in front of him.
The face of the cave release machine suddenly did not look good.
"What are you doing here? I don't remember you being involved in this operation?"
"yes...... It is true that I did not participate in this operation, but I am not here for the purpose of the action you participated in, but it is very coincidental that there is some intersection with the purpose of your action. ”
The person who pushed the door in looked up with a smile on his lips.
His countenance, along with his raised head, was displayed in front of the cave release machine.
It was a face that he hated very much.
"You think I'll take your word for it?"
The cave release machine sneered.
The person who came showed his trademark smile and said lightly, "I don't care if you believe it or not, but I have come here to be ordered by the Eighth Ancestor to assist you in completing the Fourth Ancestor's mandate." ”
"Oh?
"Believe it or not, anyway, I think you should understand the importance of this operation!"
The visitor smiled again.
The face of the cave release machine became gloomy.
He looked at the disgusted smiling face in front of him, forcibly suppressed the displeasure in his heart, and said, "Don't worry, I know the severity of the ......." ”
"Well, it couldn't be better. ”
The smile suddenly brightened.
......
......
In the quiet and simple room, Wu Chengtian's expression was extremely gloomy.
This is his temporary hiding place.
Although it is still located in the capital Xuandu, the location is extremely remote, and the shopkeeper does not like to go out, because he does not know that he is a murderer who has been wanted by the government for a long time.
Of course, part of the reason for this is because he has always shown his true face as "Wu Chengtian" in the inn.
So much so that there was almost no one in the inn who would associate him with the murderer Yue Lingxiao.
But the man in white was clearly different.
Not only did he know his identity, but he also learned of the existence of the Heaven Destroying Sect, and he also used his wife as a threat.
And obviously, his purpose should be the same as the Heaven Overturning Sect, for the remnants in his hands.
Wu Chengtian's face turned gloomy.
He looked at the letter in his hand, his body trembled, and the joints of one hand were almost white!!
On the paper, a rough map is drawn.
Although the lines are simple, you can still see that what is shown is a mountain.
In the mountains, a mark is faintly visible.
Next to the mark, there are a few small words written on it.
"Your wife is here right now, if you want to save her, come!"
Looking at those few small words, Wu Chengtian's expression became even more gloomy, and he suddenly stretched out his hand, and the white paper was instantly grasped in his hand.
The next moment, the piece of paper in his hand suddenly turned into a pile of powder......
......
