Chapter 23 The orphan of the Feng family
Two days later.
Chen Yutian came to the inn where Taiyi Tianfu and his party were temporarily staying again, but this time, he was not alone, and there were two people by his side, Xuan Xi and Xue Tianhan.
Chen Yutian was already coming for the second time, and he was familiar with the road, so he said directly to the guy who ran the hall, and the guy ran upstairs on his feet, and after a while, he ran down, telling the three of them that the person they wanted to see was in the room and could go up at any time.
So the three of them went upstairs directly and came to Ling Xiaowu's room.
But when they entered, they found that there was far more than Ling Xiaowu in the room, and the four masters of Taiyi Tianfu were also impressively listed!
"Brother Chen is here, I'm sorry for the disappointment. Ling Xiaowu, dressed in blue, was the first to stand up and hugged his fist slightly at Chen Yutian.
Chen Yutian's gaze, when he saw the blue clothes on his body, froze slightly, and then a smile appeared on his face, and he said with a smile: "Brother Ling's words are wrong, I took the liberty to come and disturb him, so I should say sorry." ”
Ling Yuntian waved his hand slightly, and said with a smile: "Brother Chen is polite...... I don't know who these two are......"
He pointed to Xuan Xi and Xue Tianhan beside Chen Yutian and asked.
Xuan Xi generously bowed to Ling Xiaowu and said, "Little sister Xuan Xi is polite, Brother Ling's big name and little sister have already heard of it, and when I see it today, it is really a good name, and it is worthy of its name!"
Hearing the word "Xuanxi" in her mouth, the faces of Ling Xiaowu and the four masters changed, and the former even said with a wry smile: "It turned out that it was Her Royal Highness the princess in person, disrespectful and disrespectful!"
With that, he looked at the snow on the side.
"Then presumably this one should be the famous Brother Bing Tian Xue Sword Xue Tian Han Xue, right?"
Xue Tianhan nodded and said, "Exactly." ”
Ling Xiaowu's complexion changed again!
If the respect for Xuan Xi just now is in the position of the other party, then the respect on his face at this moment is definitely out of affirmation and appreciation of Xue Tianhan's strength, after all, the latter is a young talent who is among the young generations of martial arts figures with him, whether it is talent or strength, he is definitely not weaker than himself.
"Long admiration of the great name!" Ling Xiaowu slowly hugged his fists at the snow and cold.
Xue Tianhan nodded slightly expressionlessly, and then looked at Chen Yutian on the side. Chen Yutian naturally knew what he meant, and after nodding slightly, he looked at Ling Xiaowu and said, "Brother Ling, in fact, we came here this time because we want to ask you about some questions about the case. ”
"Oh?" Ling Xiaowu's expression changed, he glanced at Chen Yutian with a slight curiosity, and said, "I knew that Brother Chen, you definitely had nothing to do without going to the Three Treasures Palace, I don't know if you have any questions, but it's okay to ask." ”
"That's great!"
Chen Yutian nodded slightly, and then took out a broken piece of white rag from his arms, which was the one found in the mountain village dense forest crime scene near the boundary of Qishan two days ago.
The moment he saw the white rag, the eyes of a person in the room suddenly changed.
This person is Yu Xiaoxiao, one of the four masters of Taiyi Tianfu.
The moment she saw this white rag from Chen Yutian's hand, she recognized it, the rag was from the white robe that Ling Xiaowu had been torn by the sword qi before, because that piece of clothing was sewn by her with a needle and thread, so she was extremely familiar with the fabric of that piece of clothing, and almost at a glance, she found this.
Her reaction naturally couldn't escape Chen Yutian's eyes.
Almost at the same time as she made this reaction, Chen Yutian already understood in her heart that this piece of clothing really belonged to Ling Xiaowu. Otherwise, Yu Xiaoxiao would never have had such a big reaction!
"I don't know if Brother Ling can recognize this?" he asked Ling Xiaowu as he showed the white piece of cloth.
Ling Xiaowu looked at the piece of cloth, smiled slightly bitterly, and asked, "I don't know where Brother Chen found this thing?"
Chen Yutian said with a smile: "Where did you find it, Brother Ling should know it in his heart...... I just want to know, why is this there?"
The wry smile on Ling Xiaowu's face became more and more intense.
From the time he saw the cloth, he already knew where Chen Yutian found this thing, and then he also knew why and what purpose Chen Yutian and the others came here...... He understands all this, and he knows it.
"Brother Chen questioned like this, but he regarded me as the murderer?"
When this question landed for the first time, everyone in Ling Xiaowu's room saw Chen Yutian, shook his head slightly, and said, "No." I know you're not the real murderer, but I want to know why you were at the scene of the crime that night, and have you ever seen the real murderer?"
Hearing such an answer, Ling Xiaowu was completely stunned.
He originally thought that the reason why Chen Yutian would come to him with the piece of cloth was because they thought that he was the real murderer who had caused many headless crimes, and that the fragments of his clothes were found near the scene of the crime, which should arouse suspicion no matter what.
But he never expected that Chen Yutian not only did not suspect him as a murderer, but also said with great certainty that he was not a murderer.
Why was he so sure?
"To be honest, when Brother Xue found the fragments of your clothes at the scene of the crime, I did doubt that you would be the real culprit in this series of headless cases, but after thinking about it, I rejected this idea. ”
Chen Yutian seemed to have guessed what Ling Xiaowu was thinking at the moment, and opened his mouth to explain, "Because you don't meet the time of this case. After all, the beginning of this series of cases was the murder of Wu Chengtian half a month ago, and a few of you came to the capital early the next morning and found the second headless corpse. ”
As he spoke, Chen Yutian took out another thing from his arms.
"Of course, if I just listen to your side of the story, I can't be completely sure of this, so in the past two days, I ordered someone to go to Yongfeng County, which is not too far from the capital, to investigate. ”
Hearing the words "Yongfeng County", the faces of several people present changed.
Yu Xiaoxiao and Liu Huangcui stared at Chen Yutian as if they had seen a ghost, and a look of disbelief flashed in their eyes.
Ling Xiaowu glanced at each other with Ye Xiaohan and Jian Xinghan without moving, and a faint look of surprise appeared in his eyes.
They didn't know how Chen Yutian knew that place, but Yongfeng County was exactly where they stayed the night before they entered Beijing.
Since Chen Yutian sent someone there to investigate, the other party naturally knew about the matter of them spending the night there, and in this way, they naturally could not have the time to commit the crime, and it was impossible for them to be the murderers of this series of headless cases.
"This is the proof provided by the owner of the inn you rented that night, because you were very generous there, so the boss has a deep impression of your group. ”
Chen Yutian pointed to the piece of paper he had taken out of his arms.
Ling Xiaowu nodded.
Liu Huangcui glanced at Chen Yutian and asked, "Since Lord Chen, you are already so clear, then I don't know what else you need to ask?"
Chen Yutian looked at her and smiled: "Question, I have already said it just now, I just want to know, why did Brother Ling, the fragments of your clothes appear in that murder scene? and...... You are all in the capital this time...... Reason!"
Hearing this, Ye Xiaohan, who had not had a change in expression since the three of them entered the room, along with the other three, all raised their heads suddenly, and looked at Chen Yutian's gaze, revealing a hint of hostility.
Seeing this, Xuan Xi and Xue Tianhan on the side also changed their complexions.
Ling Xiaowu glanced at Chen Yutian deeply, suddenly laughed, waved his hand to signal everyone behind him to relax, and said with a smile: "It seems that ...... Brother Chen has already guessed some of it, right?"
Chen Yutian also smiled slightly, and said, "Yes, when I found this fragment from the scene, I realized part of it, but I still want to confirm with Brother Ling, you ...... Could it have something to do with the Feng family, which was exterminated by the Nine Snakes Society back then?"
Hearing this, not only the people in Taiyi Tianfu, but even Xue Tianhan and Xuan Xi, who came with Chen Yutian, were all slightly stunned.
Xuan Xi looked at Chen Yutian in disbelief, "...... them Is it related to the Fengjia murder case?"
Xue Tianhan was also a little unbelievable, but after calming down and thinking about it carefully, it was indeed not completely impossible...... Since Ling Xiaowu's clothes fragments appeared at the scene, it means that he must have been to the scene of the crime. So what did he do when he went to the scene of the crime? The answer is self-evident.
At the scene of the crime at that time, only the murderer and the deceased were together, since he appeared at the scene, then his target was either the deceased or the murderer, or directly the two of them, and the two of them had one thing in common, that is, the snake head of the Nine Snakes Society.
And the incident related to the Nine Snakes Society, the first thing that makes people think of is the Feng family annihilation case that caused a sensation in the martial arts back then! In this way, it is naturally a very normal thing for Chen Yutian to think of this matter.
However, when this sentence fell on the ears of Ling Xiaowu and the others, it was tantamount to a thunderclap exploding in their ears, making all of them have a terrifying feeling from the bottom of their hearts in an instant.
This feeling comes from Chen Yutian's material like a god.
"Brother Chen really deserves the word detective, even this kind of thing can be guessed by you......" Ling Xiaowu was silent for a long time, and then smiled slightly bitterly, and then glanced at Chen Yutian sincerely, and spoke, "Not bad...... Among us, there are indeed people who are related to the Feng family back then, and the reason why we left Taiyi Tianfu together this time and appeared in this capital is because a month ago, Taiyi Tianfu received an anonymous letter without signature...... The letter clearly pointed out that the snake heads of the Nine Snake Society, which had exterminated my Feng family in the past, would gather in the capital in the near future, and if you want to take revenge, you must not miss the opportunity!"
Hearing this, Chen Yutian nodded slightly as if he had expected it.
But Xuan Xi and Xue Tianhan on the side looked at Ling Xiaowu in front of them with an indescribable look at the same time.
Ling Xiaowu's words have made it clear enough that he himself is the orphan of the Feng family who was exterminated by the Nine Snakes Society in the past, otherwise, when he talks about the Feng family, he will definitely not add the word "I" in front of him.
"I really didn't expect that Ling Xiaowu was actually the person related to the Feng family...... In this way, it is not difficult to explain that he will appear on the scene...... But how did he know that the head of the Nine Snakes Society would be there?"
Xue Tianhan stared at Ling Xiaowu with burning eyes, and a trace of groan appeared in his expression.
Chen Yutian also touched his chin and groaned for a moment, and then asked, "When you just said that, an anonymous letter told you that the nine snake heads of the Nine Snake Society will gather in the capital in the near future...... Do you know who this anonymous letter came from?"
Ling Xiaowu smiled bitterly: "Of course I don't know...... If I knew who sent the letter, I wouldn't say it was an anonymous letter. ”
Chen Yutian was slightly stunned, and then realized that he seemed to have asked a stupid question, so he had to smile bitterly: "That's what I said, but I was abrupt...... I don't know how Brother Ling knew that night there was an enemy you were looking for in that bamboo forest?"
Hearing this question, Ling Xiaowu's expression froze slightly, he looked at Chen Yutian, and said in a deep voice: "This matter, even if you don't ask, Brother Chen, I will tell you...... Actually, the reason why I knew they were in the forest that night was because I received an anonymous letter. ”
"Oh, it's an anonymous letter again?" Tatsu Yutian was taken aback!
Ling Xiaowu nodded and added: "Not only that, the handwriting on that anonymous letter, as well as the paper on which the credit was written, are exactly the same as the one I received in Taiyi Tianfu before, so it can be determined that those two letters should be from the same person." ”
"Oh?" Hearing this, Chen Yutian's brows furrowed more and more.
Xuan Xi on the side also seemed to have noticed something wrong at this moment, squinted her beautiful eyes slightly, and groaned.
"Are there two anonymous letters with exactly the same handwriting and paper?" Xue Tianhan also frowned slightly.
And at this moment, Liu Huangcui on the side also spoke.
"Actually, there's one more thing I think you should know about...... In fact, as early as when we established Taiyi Tianfu, we began to inquire about the news of the nine snake heads of the Nine Snake Society in the rivers and lakes, but they had long disappeared in the rivers and lakes, and although we sent spies to investigate in many ways, it was to no avail. We have searched for so many years, but we have not been able to know their traces, but this person who wrote the anonymous letter was able to easily point out their whereabouts twice, especially the previous time, from his analysis between the lines, it seems that he is extremely sure of the gathering of the nine snake heads in the capital, and he is not worried that this matter will not happen...... No matter how you look at this, I think there is a problem. ”
