Chapter Seventy-Eight: The First Detective
Gu Quandao: "Which room, I'll invite him immediately!"
"The first detective in the rivers and lakes, it is difficult to invite, and one person is needed to help. Gu Mou shook his head.
"Who?"
"Sword Saint Linghuqiu! Hou Xubai is the only disciple of Linghuqiu, Linghuqiu's words, he must listen!"
Gu Quan waved his hand: "This old man's temper is a little weird, you have also seen it, I'm afraid it's not good to please!"
Gu Qiu smiled: "No matter how weird it is, what if Qin'er begs him, he will definitely agree!"
Gu Quan clapped his hands and said excitedly: "That's right!
"I'll go back to the village immediately, this matter will be handed over to me!" Gu Qiu's figure flashed, and he suddenly disappeared in place.
"What about this side?"
Gu Quan looked at the corpses all over the ground and sighed: "I Gu Quan has studied strange poisons for decades, but I haven't seen what kind of poison these people died of, alas, ......"
"Use the medicine first to keep their corpses from rotting, and wait for the people from the Yanshan Sword Sect to arrive, hand them over, and return to their homeland!"
The sky is already bright, and the sun is shining brightly all over the mountains.
Birds chirped everywhere, wild beasts roared, and crystal dew dripped, dipping into the soft earth.
There was still some fog in the mountains and forests, and Fu Yan's whole body was already soaked, and sweat mixed with dew continued to flow from his neck into his collar.
The four people in front of him have been walking for more than an hour, and the leader is constantly discovering new clues, and it seems that he is not far from Zhu You.
The woman, who was said to have been seriously injured, kept holding on. But judging by the blood found on the ground from time to time, she couldn't hold on.
Fu Yan held the scabbard in his left hand, and his right hand was slowly caressing the hilt of the sword, and the killing intent in his eyes was awe-inspiring!
"Big brother, we don't have much time. The tall and thin man reminded.
"It's almost there! I didn't expect this girl to be so good at running, and she really has a bit of stamina. The leader gritted his teeth tightly, and his pace couldn't help but speed up a little.
Dong Fatzi's eyes are the best, he looked at it, hurriedly took a few steps forward, looked at the roots, and said in surprise: "Big brother, there are blood stains!"
The three people behind hurriedly followed, seeing that the bright red blood on the roots of the tree was flowing down, and they were also happy.
The leader said in a deep voice: "The blood has not yet coagulated, it must have been not long after it was left, and that woman is in front!
The four of them ran forward quickly, Fu Yan came out of his head, rushed to the bottom of the tree, looked at the pool of blood, and his heart suddenly sank.
It seems that Zhu You really can't hold on, and there are some fleshy pieces mixed with this bloodstain, although it is only the size of a grain of rice, but it also proves that she hurt her heart.
Thinking that she was healing herself with a cold face in the inn hall, Fu Yan sighed in his heart, the arrogant lord of Nanping would also have such a miserable time.
He gritted his teeth tightly, his figure was short, and he immediately lurked to follow.
And here, Gu Quan was anxious, and finally waited for Gu Jing and others.
Sure enough, the Sword Saint Linghu Qiu and the old Taoist priest had already followed Gu Jing to the inn, and when they saw the corpses all over the ground, Gu Jing's face turned pale, and he hurriedly ran over and leaned over to take a look.
"How is it?Qin'er?" Gu Quan's eyes were so anxious that he even forgot to greet Linghuqiu.
Gu Jing frowned and shook his head, and sighed: "It's true that there is no breath anymore, and they are all dead." ”
As she spoke, she kept examining the corpse, and after a long time, she finally shook her head and said, "I don't see what kind of poison it is, and it stands to reason that any poison that takes a person's life in an instant will leave conspicuous traces." ”
Gu Quan was sweating profusely and said, "Yes, I don't see any symptoms, it's like a natural death, this doesn't look like a strong poison at all." ”
"Grandpa......" Gu Quan shouted with wide eyes and a coquettish voice.
Ling Huqiu touched her head and said, "Don't worry, good granddaughter, grandpa will help you." ”
After he finished speaking, he suddenly looked around and said in a deep voice: "Void, I haven't seen you for a year, but you can make progress!"
The voice was not loud, but it seemed to sound in everyone's hearts, and for a while, the entire inn heard this figure, and countless people immediately started from the bed, hurriedly picked up the blade, and looked at the empty room, their foreheads were already full of sweat.
Masters are coming!
Four people suddenly surged into the hearts of these people.
In a room in the north corner of the third floor, Hou Xubai suddenly stood up, his eyes were full of excitement, his face was full of red, he picked up the long knife, his figure flashed, and he came quickly towards the hall.
His figure flashed rapidly, the long knife in his hand was already out of the sheath, and the snowy long knife glowed with monstrous green!
"Drunken dancing long knife, geometry tonight!Master, let's see the apprentice's drunken sword technique!" With an excited voice, a shocking sword has already slashed down from above.
Gu Quan and the others hurriedly surged up their internal strength and joined forces to create a wall of qi to protect the corpses all over the ground.
Ling Huqiu laughed, stretched out his index finger, and a turquoise mangqi was like substance, and it shot out in an instant, directly defeating the sword.
A figure suddenly flew down from the upper floor, and the shaking room had reached the hall, and the majestic figure suddenly knelt on the ground, and said loudly: "See the master in vain!"
Ling Huqiu nodded and said, "Yes, the Drunken Xiao Sword Technique has already taken shape, it seems that you have improved a lot this year." ”
Hou Xubai bowed his head and said: "I fought with people a few days ago, and I have quite an understanding. ”
In fact, it was precisely because of the battle with Tie Guan Li and He Wenyue that he discovered the shortcomings of his sword technique, and his understanding of the way of the knife became more and more profound.
That day, after separating from Fu Yan, he was about to return to Liuyun Town with Luo Xi, but he didn't expect Luo Xi to change his mind and insist on coming to this witch city to join Luo Xiheng.
Ling Huqiu waved his hand and said: "You get up, every time you are so polite, Boss Gu has something to find you, you help him." ”
"Yes!"
Gu Quan hurriedly clenched his fists and said, "It is indeed something to ask Detective Hou." ”
Hou Xubai's eyes turned, and when he saw the corpses all over the ground, he couldn't help but change his face, and exclaimed, "Yanshan Sword Sect!"
Gu Quan showed a smile that was more ugly than crying, and said, "I still hope that Detective Hou will keep it secret, it's a big deal!"
Hou Xubai didn't know this truth, frowned, and said, "Boss Gu, you don't want me to help you find the murderer, right?"
Gu Quandao: "The murderer is secondary, there is still one person from the Yanshan Sword Sect who still exists, but now I don't know where to go, he may be being hunted down, and he may have been arrested." Please ask Detective Hou to help you find it!"
Hou Xubai glanced at the corpses all over the ground, his eyes suddenly widened, and even his breathing became heavy, and said, "Zhu You! Zhu You is not dead!"
Gu Quan gritted his teeth and said: "The matter is urgent, please ask Hou Shen to make a move!"
Hou Xubai knew Zhu You's identity, and immediately said: "The roster! The roster of the Yanshan Sword Sect is given to me, including the roster of the rooms around them!"
Gu Quan hurriedly picked up the roster and handed it to Hou Xubai, Hou Xubai's eyes swept away, and he immediately paid attention to a name, and immediately said, "Fu Yan is also next to them?"
"It's said to have come together!"
Hou Xubai said: "Let's go, go to Fu Xuan's room!"
Lin Tianqi and Song Tianshi glanced at each other and said, "Boss Gu is in charge of the inn, Detective Hou is there, let's go and help." ”
Gu Quan hurriedly bowed down and said, "Thank you." ”
Hou Xubai soon came to Fu Xuan's room, as if looking at the doorknob, and then at the ground, his face suddenly changed, and the green light in his eyes flashed and suddenly noticed the difference.
Hou Xubai said: "There have been two people, and it just so happens that I have seen both of them, He Xiangu and Zhu You!"
He had seen the shoes of two people on the street of Wushan Town, and he was extremely sensitive to clues, and he quickly recognized the identity of the shoe prints.
Looking around and looking at the room, Hou Xubai said: "There are sword marks on the walls, wooden pillars and other places, the wood is not deep, the sword marks are uneven, there should be no internal force, and it is indiscriminate chopping, which means that it is not a fight, but a deliberate trick." ”
Lin Tianqi and Song Tianshi glanced at each other, with admiration in their eyes.
Lin Tianqi said: "Yesterday, Fu Yan was arrested by He Xiangu and went to the Ten Thousand Poisons Villa. ”
Hou Xubai's eyes were shocked, and then he frowned and said: "There was absolutely no fight in the room, Fu Yan should have volunteered to go with her, and Zhu You saw that the house was full of messes, obviously misunderstood." ”
Song Tianshi said: "So where did she go?"
Hou Xubai said: "She should have gone out to look for Fu Remnant, but she didn't know where Fu Remnant went, so she could only look for it blindly!"
"Looking?"
Hou Xubai's eyes shone brightly, and a strong confidence appeared in him, and he said: "However, there was a lot of movement in the Ten Thousand Poison Villa last night, she must have heard it! Since she is looking for Fu Yan and hears the sound of fighting, she will definitely go over there!"
Lin Tianqi was overjoyed and said: "Not bad!"
"Map!" Hou Xubai said immediately.
Soon Gu Quan sent a map, Hou Xubai stared at it, and said: "Ten Thousand Poison Mountain Villa is located on the mountainside, with a high cliff at its back, and forests on both sides, as long as there is one road that can lead to it!"
"Yes!"
Hou Xubai said: "The murderer is fully prepared, he must know her traces, and he will definitely kill her halfway!"
Gu Quan hurriedly said, "Then what now?"
Hou Xubai said: "Immediately mobilize people and horses, look for both sides from this road, if she is not dead, she will definitely enter the mountain, and a few of our grandmasters will go directly to the mountain!"
Qingbai said: "Okay!
Hou Xubai said: "I don't know what the strength of the murderer is, Liang Liang group, Boss Gu stays in the inn to take care of it, the six of us are divided into three groups, the Gu brothers are on the left, the Lin Hall Master and the Song Hall Master are on the right, and I and the Qingtang Master are directly up!"
"Good!"
Hou Xubai said: "Whether you find it or not, you can only enter the mountains for a hundred miles, otherwise it will be dangerous!"
"Dangerous?"
"Yes, don't go too deep, Wushan, it's not safe!" Gu Quan seemed to think of something, and there was unspeakable fear in his eyes.
Lin Tianqi glanced at each other and nodded heavily.
Several people set off quickly, and only Gu Quan, Gu Jing and the two old men were left in the entire hall.
The old Taoist priest carried a pot of old wine, occasionally poured two sips, sometimes blew a few words of cowhide with Linghuqiu, and sometimes told Gu Jing about the past when he was young.
Gu Quan frowned, constantly looking out of the house, and the anxiety in his eyes could not be concealed at all.
The old Taoist priest was drunk, gloating, and said with a cheap smile: "Fat man, do you know what the old Taoist priest is my greatest ability?"
Gu Quan heard him call himself fat, and almost didn't jump up and slapped him, but when he thought about it, he didn't dare to do it. Not to mention that this is Bao Qian'er's grandfather, even for the sake of Ling Huqiu's face of calling him an old brother, he can't do it himself.
But if it comes to his ability, Gu Quan thinks about it, it is still similar to cheating, pretending, dogs fighting people, foxes and tigers, and so on.
Of course, these words can't be said, otherwise the old Taoist priest is really unhappy, so he can only smile and say: "Ahem, the greatest ability of the Taoist seniors, I really don't know." ”
The old Taoist priest showed an expression that you wouldn't know, and said solemnly: "Daoist, my greatest ability is - fortune telling!"
"Fortune telling?"
"Not bad!" The old Taoist priest looked unfathomable, and said, "I see that you are full of heaven and fat, and you don't look like a short-lived person." So don't worry!"
Gu Quan was so angry that he trembled, Lao Tzu was fat like this, of course the heavenly court was full!
"Don't entertain me, Chief, have a good drink!"
The old Taoist priest's face sank, his eyes widened, and he said, "What's the matter, listening to what you mean, I seem to think that Daoist Master I am bragging!"
Ling Huqiu smiled: "Isn't that what it means, brother, he actually looks down on you!"
Gu Quan said: "Oh, my two uncles, don't bother me, okay? My head is about to rot." ”
The old Taoist priest was obviously stunned, looking at Gu Quan with a strange expression.
Gu Quandao: "What's wrong with you, Dao Chief, is there something wrong with me?"
"Who said that these people are dead?" Dao Ye said this sentence in a daze, and his face suddenly showed an unfathomable smile.
