Chapter 10 One more body
In the early morning, the morning sun is rising.
Chen Yutian, who had rested all night, opened his eyes and got up to wash.
The sun was shining outside the window, and wisps of warmth poured into the room through the cracks in the window.
Ever since he learned from the head of the dart head Li Xiuniang yesterday that there was also a scar on the client's right wrist that resembled a headless corpse, an astonishing thought appeared in Chen Yutian's heart.
And this idea also confirmed Yue Lingxiao's identity as a murderer!
"Could it be the murderer, is it really Yue Lingxiao?"
He stood in front of the window, looking at the beautiful scenery outside the window, and muttered to himself.
Although all the spearheads were pointed at this old friend of Wu Chengtian from the beginning, he was never sure whether this person was the real murderer.
And the evidence that has been found now proves this even more!
"Hopefully that portrait will help a little......"
He sighed slightly, and when he returned to the capital yesterday, he saw that the portrait with the human head had been pasted all over the streets and alleys of Xuandu.
Now we can only hope that someone will be able to explain the identity of this person after seeing this portrait.
In this way, they will also be able to know the identity of one of the deceased, and they will not be blinded as they are now.
But he didn't know that at this moment, in a corner of the capital, a figure in a hurry, passing by the portrait posted in Gyeonggi Prefecture, walked forward suddenly!
He looked at the face above the portrait, and his eyes flashed with shock!
But he seemed to have something more important to do, so he just took a deep look at the portrait, took the message to heart, and hurried away.
All this without alarming anyone around.
In the Kowloon Mansion, everyone had already gotten up, Lin Tao and Han Tong were reviewing the morning class under the guidance of Gongsun, and Lin Dao, Wu Dongtian and Tang Fengling were standing in the practice ground in the backyard, learning martial arts from each other.
Xue Tianhan and Ling Miaoyin stood aside and watched quietly.
On the other side, the Ice King, Yan Zun, Sword Saint, and Dragon Venerable Four Saints also looked at the scene of the three of them fighting, sometimes smiling and pointing out a few words.
"This girl's internal strength is as good as the old thief's true inheritance, once she casts the Void Escape Method, I'm afraid the other two will be difficult to shake......"
Yan Zun looked at Tang Fengling, who was calmly performing his skills in the field, and nodded approvingly.
"yes...... However, if Wu Dongtian can combine the strengths of his two masters, if he goes further, the result may not be certain. ”
The Sword Master nodded slightly, but he had a different opinion.
Immediately, her gaze shifted from Wu Dongtian's body to Lin Dao's sword technique.
Seeing the movement of Lin Dao dancing the knife, her eyes suddenly condensed slightly.
She remembered a man from the past.
The other three also looked at Lin Dao and sighed slightly.
"When we were in the Heavenly Machine Mansion, weren't we like this?" Long Zun suddenly opened his mouth and sighed.
"yes...... But time is never merciless, and we can never go back to that time......" The Ice King sighed deeply, a rare look of loneliness on his face.
The other three looked at each other and sighed.
When he was in Tianji Mansion back then, that person was the best with the Ice King and the Martial Maniac, and after that incident that happened that year, the Ice King and the Martial Maniac were also the most regretful.
"Alas......"
Recalling the events of that year, the four of them suddenly had endless remorse in their eyes.
On the side, Chen Yutian, who came from the front, looked at the sighing appearance of several elders opposite, and couldn't help but be a little curious.
At this moment, there was a sudden sound behind him.
"It's time to eat!"
As soon as it fell, everyone in the courtyard, whether they were sparring or watching the battle, sat down next to the stone table in the courtyard as fast as they could.
This table was made fresh yesterday and was specially made for everyone to eat.
After all, now there is a female chef god in Jiulong Mansion, and after eating the food she cooked, everyone didn't want to eat the food in the restaurant outside, so Huo Yuanji specially took advantage of Xue Tianhan's family relationship to make such a stone table.
Chen Jing was stunned when he looked at everyone's lightning-like reactions.
Seeing this, Chen Yutian also smiled bitterly.
In a moment, Lin Feifei and Huo Yuan walked in with a steaming meal.
Although it was only breakfast, Lin Feifei still cooked very heartily, four or five dishes, several rounds of xiaolongbao, and a pot of steaming wontons, which immediately hooked everyone's glutton.
Chen Jing smelled the aroma of food in the air, and couldn't help but move his index finger.
When the meal is served, everyone immediately starts it.
More than a dozen pairs of chopsticks rushed towards the plates of delicious meals.
Chen Jing was taken aback. I thought to myself, what's wrong with these people? Why don't you look like you haven't eaten in a long time?
He casually fed one of the ravioli from his bowl into his mouth.
Immediately, an indescribably wonderful sensation surged into the taste buds.
Chen Jing was stunned for a moment, and then ate another one.
The wonderful feeling came back to him, and it was even stronger than the last time, and his eyes couldn't help but light up!
"Wonderful! This is simply the best wonton the old man has ever eaten in his life......
He was full of praise, and Huo Yuanji's eyes flashed with pride when he heard it.
Of course, after all, it was from my Feifei...... He thought to himself.
Immediately, he picked up the chopsticks and tasted them carefully......
Everyone was eating here, but they heard Zhou Lin's voice suddenly coming from outside the door: "Oh no, no, another corpse has been found......
Everyone's brows suddenly frowned, a touch of bitterness, and swept their eyes.
It can't be such a coincidence, right?
......
......
Zhou Lin took three steps and made two steps, shouting as he came to the backyard.
When he came to the backyard, he was stunned by the scene in front of him.
I saw Chen Yutian holding a half-bitten xiaolongbao and looking at him with a smile, and asked, "Zhou Zhutou, what happened? Why are you so anxious?"
Zhou Lin was stunned for a moment, and a strong aroma of food rushed into his nostrils, making his stomach, which had not yet had time to eat breakfast, scream angrily.
"Goo......
Chen Yutian glanced at him with a smile, picked up a small longbao from the table, and stuffed it into his hand.
"Haven't you had breakfast yet? ”
Zhou Lin took the bun in a daze, and immediately realized what he was doing here, and hurriedly shouted.
"My lord, no, I received a report this morning, and another headless corpse was found in a ruined temple in the east of the city. ”
Chen Yutian frowned, nodded immediately, and calmly ate the bun in his hand, with a look that he had already expected.
"Okay, please tell Uncle Xing, let's go over. ”
With that, he picked up the handkerchief and wiped his hands gently.
Then he glanced at everyone who was still eating, and was slightly speechless.
......
......
The body was found in an abandoned City God Temple in the east of Xuandu City.
There was no incense for a long time, and it was always just a shelter for beggars and wanderers, and occasionally a few penniless passers-by made do with it for a night.
The body was found by the beggars who had taken refuge in the temple.
Last night coincided with the opening of the most prosperous night market in Xuandu, so these beggars did not rest, but begged in the night market all night, and did not return until the night market was stopped at dawn.
However, when they returned to their usual shelter, they found a headless corpse lying in front of the statue of the god in the temple of the god of the city, which was extremely terrifying.
The beggars were frightened and retreated at a loss.
More timid, even fainted.
When Gyeonggi received the news, an hour had passed since the body was found.
It was not those beggars who came to report the case, but a gangster who had a good relationship with these beggars on weekdays, named Liu Er.
Although this Liu Er is a gangster, he attaches great importance to love and righteousness, and he is also smarter than ordinary gangsters, and he once read some books and knew some words when he was young.
When he was walking down the street yesterday, he happened to see the portrait announcement posted by the government.
When he saw the corpse in the temple, he immediately remembered this notice and came to Gyeonggi Province with a few bold beggars to report the crime.
After receiving the report, Xing Enming immediately took the people to the temple.
Seeing the headless corpse lying in front of the shattered idol, his brow furrowed.
Like the corpses seen before, the deceased was headless, wearing a pure black silk robe, lying on the ground covered in blood.
Judging from the material of the clothes on his body, the deceased should have been either rich or expensive.
But as before, it was difficult to determine his identity due to the lack of a head.
As always, he came to the corpse and began the autopsy.
Xing Enming looked at Liu Er, who reported the case, and asked, "Liu Er, this official asked you, you said that this body was found by these beggars?"
Liu Er nodded and said, "Exactly, my lord." It was originally the residence of my beggar friends, and there were occasional penniless wanderers who came to spend the night...... Last night coincided with the night market, so my beggar friends didn't return all night until dawn today, when they came back at dawn, they found this headless body lying here......"
"Oh?" Xing Enming's expression moved slightly, and he turned to look at the beggars and asked, "Then have you ever seen this person?"
The beggars shook their heads and said, "I haven't seen it, and this person doesn't even have a head anymore, so I don't know who he really is......"
Hearing this answer, Xing Enming sighed.
The biggest problem at the moment is here.
The deceased had no head, so he could not be identified, so he was naturally unable to ask the people around him for clues.
At this moment, a little beggar beside Liu Er looked at the deceased's black clothes and showed a thoughtful look.
Seeing this, Xing Enming's eyes flashed!
"What did this little brother discover?"
The little beggar was startled, glanced at Xing Enming with a wince, stammered a little, and said, "My lord...... I think this person's clothes are a bit similar to the one who came over for the night last night......"
Hearing this, the beggars around them all looked moved.
Xing Enming glanced at the little beggar, his eyes lit up, he glanced at the beggars, and said, "Oh?
The beggars around you look at me, I look at you, and there is a slight hint of abruptness in their expressions.
A beggar suddenly said, "That's right! It's that person, this clothes are exactly the same! It should be that person!"
Xing Enming's expression showed a slight hint of excitement, and he was about to ask in detail, but he heard a chuckle suddenly come from outside the temple gate.
"Oh, who is it?"
Hearing this laughter, Xing Enming's expression suddenly moved.
Liu Er and the beggars also looked behind them, and saw a young man in white walking in with a smile on his face.
Behind him, there was also a scholar in white and a good-looking young man in white.
Further back, there are three beautiful girls, an equally good-looking red man and an ordinary-looking but rugged young man.
Finally, there is a kind-looking young man in white and a black-clothed swordsman with a scar on his face.
The young man's face was full of smiles, giving people a sense of closeness.
And the black-clothed swordsman had an indifferent face, which made the beggars around him couldn't help but be startled!
The appearance of these people immediately made Xing Enming smile.
"Yuten, you're finally here. ”
These people were the people of Jiulong Mansion who had received Zhou Lin's notice and rushed to the Kowloon Mansion as quickly as possible.
Chen Yutian waved his hand slightly, glanced at the bold beggar, and said with a smile: "This brother, who is the deceased's clothes?"
The bold beggar glanced at Chen Yutian blankly, then looked at Xing Enming, and found that he was not angry, so he said, "It's the one who came here to spend the night last night!"
Chen Yutian frowned slightly, and asked, "The people who spent the night?"
"Yes, when we left last night, a man in black dressed exactly like this man came to spend the night, and he said that he had made an appointment with a friend here, and asked if it would disturb us, and we told him to relax, and told him that we were all going to beg in the night market, and probably not coming back in the evening. He knew that he would be very happy in the future. ”
Said the daring beggar.
Hearing this, Chen Yu's eyes froze slightly, and after a moment of silence, he asked, "Then do you remember the appearance of that person?"
"Of course!" the beggar nodded without thinking, "although I don't have much of an impression of his appearance, but I remember that he had a large scar on his cheek, similar to that of this big brother." ”
He pointed to the forest knife beside him.
Chen Yutian nodded slightly, and said: "Understood, thank you for your cooperation, if you think of anything later, remember to tell us in time." ”
"Good. The beggar nodded.
Chen Yutian turned to look at the corpse on the ground.
Gongsun is conducting an autopsy with the Gyeonggi Provincial Servant.
After the last lesson, the Gyeonggi Prefecture was obviously smart, and before Gongsun came, he did not draw direct conclusions, but temporarily put his results in his heart.
Gongsun reached out and gently touched the corpse, frowning slightly.
Obviously, the deceased had also suffered the same heart-destroying sword qi as before, and his internal organs were severely damaged, but nothing could be seen from the outside.
He glanced at Chen Yutian, and then took the deceased's right hand.
The next moment, he rolled up the sleeve of the deceased's right arm.
Suddenly, his eyes flashed!
I saw that on the right wrist of the corpse, there was also a scar similar to a tattoo that had been washed off.
Looking at the scar, Chen Yutian's eyes also flashed slightly, and at this moment, Tang Fengling behind him suddenly opened his mouth and shouted: "I finally remembered, no wonder I think this guy looks very familiar, it turned out to be him......"
Everyone's eyes flashed!
Chen Yutian glanced at her curiously and asked, "Who?"
"It's the two mysterious people I met at the gate of the samurai manor I mentioned before, and there was a person who was wearing exactly the same clothes as this corpse!"
Tang Fengling said.
