"Why did the murderer kill these five people?" He Jizhen asked first.

"The purpose of the murder in this case is nothing more than several, one is to seek revenge, and the other is to exterminate the mouth, judging from the current situation, except for Pigeon Zhang, it seems that they are all biased towards the former..."Li Bai paused for a moment after taking a sip of tea, "But I have always thought that the truth of this case is far more than that, the murderer seems to be leading us by the nose, do you feel this way?"

"Brother Taibai, it seems that this is true when you say this, but I have always had a few questions that I don't understand. ”

"What's the doubt?"

"Why are the three heads of Qingcheng, Huashan, and Wudang obediently willing to go to the temple to make an appointment? The first person who died may not know, and the second person who died may be overconfident, but the third and fourth people are not alert? Do they dare to come alone without bringing a single person?"

"Hahaha. Li Bai smiled heartily when he heard this, and looked at He Jizhen's overwhelmed appearance, Li Bai felt very funny, "Da Zhuangyuan, why are you such a smart person so stupid." ”

He Jizhen also felt a little embarrassed when he heard it, scratched his head and smiled awkwardly at Li Bai, "Haha, this is really stumped for me, and I ask Brother Taibai to make it clear." ”

"Actually, it's very simple, there are many ways to do this, if I poison your biological parents or threaten their lives in other ways, and force you to come alone in this way, will you come?"

He Jizhen paused and replied affirmatively, "That's natural, my parents who are affected by the body, whether it's true or not, since someone threatens me with my parents' names, I will naturally go." ”

"That's right, and these people have always regarded themselves as decent and decent, this kind of person has always attached great importance to honor, and will never disregard the lives of their parents. As for Hong Riqing's predecessors, who had no father, no mother, and no daughter under his knees, he was raised by the previous leader of the beggar gang since he was a child, although he was the leader of the beggar gang, he has always liked the days of being alone and idle, when have you seen him travel with a group of beggar gang disciples?"

"Brother Taibai is really good, but why did the murderer choose to do it on a snowy night?" He Jizhen nodded and continued to ask.

"Snowy Night didn't leave any footprints, besides, the battle to encircle and suppress the Demon Sect in the past was also in Snowy Night, I think the murderer's purpose in doing this is mainly to mislead and introduce this matter into the Netherworld, so that the tracer can't find out..."

He Jizhen was silent for a long time, "Well, if Brother Taibai doesn't help this time, I'm afraid that we will really be unable to investigate, and then become the murderer of the unsolved case and get away with it." ”

"The incident has not stopped, and I am afraid that the murderer's actions will continue. Li Bai put the cup under the table and looked at He Jizhen and said solemnly, "Although these four sect leaders who were killed were the main members of the Demon Sect back then, they were not the actual organizers of that incident. ”

He Jizhen gasped when he heard this, "Could it be that the murderer's final target is the current Changshi of Tiance Mansion..."

"The descendant of Tang Jian, one of the twenty-four heroes of Lingyan Pavilion-Tang Mu!"

"But Tang Muyuan is in Luoyang's Tiance Mansion... How did the murderer assassinate in Chang'an?"

"Ancestor worship at the end of the year!" the two said in unison.

"If that's the case, then it seems like I understand why the killer killed these people one by one. He Jizhen said thoughtfully.

"What you said is very reasonable, Tang Mu lives in Tiance Mansion, there are hundreds of guards and soldiers around him, and he is a master who protects him openly and secretly, and the best opportunity to kill him is to come to Chang'an at the end of every year to worship his ancestors. ”

"But... But even if he worships the ancestor Tang Mu, he will bring a large team of people and elites, even if the murderer is alone, no matter how high his martial arts are, if he wants to kill Tang Mu among these elites who crisscross the field, this seems to be tantamount to a moth to a fire. ”

"I know..."Li Bai said as he took out a black thing from his sleeve and threw it to He Jizhen, "but what if you add this and pigeons?"

"Thunderball!"

When the two of them were contemplating their eyebrows and thinking deeply, there was a sudden sound of hurried footsteps, this person stumbled, panting and obviously very anxious, the person who came turned out to be He Jizhen's subordinate Xiao Gao, "Big... My lord... No... Oh no..."Xiao Gao ran in sweating profusely, obviously something big had happened.

"What's the matter, why are you panicking and letting the Gao family's dog chase you?" He Jizhen looked at Xiao Gao's panicked expression and hurriedly asked.

"My lord, in Yizhuang, the bodies of the four of them and the pigeon Zhang are all gone!"

"What?!" He Jizhen's mouth grew after hearing the news, and the teacup fell to the ground with a "snap", as if He Jizhen was in the same mood.

"Let's go, let's take a look. Li Bai took the lead in standing up and walked out.

Yizhuang is located two blocks away from Liufangmen, and there are hardly any people who come here on weekdays, and only a few black crows in the treetops not far away seem to be regular visitors here. After Li Bai and He Jizhen entered the Yizhuang, they felt a burst of yin air hit them, "It is worthy of being the largest Yizhuang in Chang'an, this chill is really unforgettable." Li Bai looked around and said lightly.

"Have you lost other people's corpses here?" He Jizhen asked Xiao Gao after looking around for a week.

"Your Excellency, nothing else has been lost, only a few of the five bodies related to this Snowy Night Murder have disappeared. ”

"Okay, I see, you go down first. After He Jizhen waved his hand at Xiao Gao, he turned to Li Bai and said, "Brother Taibai, have you found anything." ”

"Nothing. Li Bai Nunu spread his hands, "Since the murderer has the ability to steal the body in Yizhuang without being discovered, obviously if he doesn't want to be discovered by you, he will naturally not leave any traces." ”

He Ji really thought about it and felt that it was the same reason, so he nodded and then leaned on Li Bai's ear and asked softly, "Brother Taibai, do you think that the people here may be Neiying? Otherwise, how could the murderer steal the five corpses without anyone noticing?"

"There is also such a possibility, but it doesn't seem realistic..."Li Bai said here and touched his chin with his hand, frowning, "The most important thing now is that we have to find out why the murderer stole the body..."

"Based on my long-term experience in investigating cases, there is only one explanation for this situation - the destruction of corpses. Presumably, the murderer must have suddenly remembered that the corpse had left traces that might reveal his identity, so he took the risk to come to Yizhuang and stole the corpse, thus destroying the corpse and destroying the traces, so that the case could not be traced, and the murderer could get away with it. He Jizhen said with certainty.

"Well, Lao He, you really have two hits, you deserve to be the head catcher of the six doors of the famous town of Chang'an. Li Bai looked at He Jizhen's confident appearance and couldn't help but quip.

"Hahaha, that's natural, you have been walking the rivers and lakes for a long time over the years, and your reputation is getting louder and louder day by day, my old He is also experienced in a hundred battles in the officialdom, otherwise how would you be your friend?!" He Jizhen said that Xing couldn't help but "snap!" and patted Li Bailu's neck outside, and Li Bai shrunk his neck with a clever "whoosh".

"Well, Brother He's technique is strong and soft, and on the premise of ensuring that the strength is just right, he does not make the slightest sound so as not to startle the snake, he is worthy of being a layman who is famous in the Shaolin Temple of the rivers and lakes, and he is worthy of being the head catcher of the six doors who capture twenty-eight first-class killers in the rivers and lakes in a year, I really admire and admire. Li Bai couldn't help but make a fist clenching gesture to He Jizhen.

"Hahaha, ashamed, ashamed..."Before He Jizhen's word "ashamed" could be uttered, Li Bai's left foot jumped up with a slight touch of his toe, and when he jumped over He Jizhen's head, his body twisted, and his right hand turned and drew a beautiful circle in the air, "Slap" A sound slapped on He Jizhen's neck, He Jizhen's face showed a distorted expression when he heard the sound of the palm wind, of course he wanted to dodge, but Li Bai's movements were too fast, and when he heard the sound, his neck felt a hot pain, and when he turned around, Li Bai was already standing firmly in the courtyard with his sword in his arms, leaning against the wall, and looking at the sky with his eyes.

"Oh I..." Before He Jizhen's words could be said, Xiao Gao hurried over on a horse, "Boss, someone just reported that five charred corpses were found," Xiao Gao said as he jumped off his horse, "It's under the cliff two miles south of the city gate!"

The two people who were still fighting just now suddenly seemed to have changed into a different person, with serious expressions and sharp eyes, without the appearance of just playing, "Go!" The two of them said in unison.

The two said to go, and quickly whipped up the horses and arrived at the place where the body was found in less than half an hour, and the report was an old man who lived in a nearby village, and found it when he was about to go to the nearby mountains to chop wood after eating at noon.

"Give the old man a sip of wine slowly," said He Jizhen waved his hand to Xiao Gao beside him, and motioned to bring the wine over, "Come, old man, don't be afraid, we are all people from the six doors of the imperial court who are investigating this matter, you can rest assured that you can tell us if you have anything." He Jizhen said while handing the wine gourd to the old man.

After taking a sip of wine, the old man's expression gradually recovered a little, and his face was bloody. "My lord... The little one is going to go to the mountains to chop some firewood after eating at home at noon today..."The old man wiped the cold sweat from his forehead with his cuffs, took a sip of wine, and continued, "Out... When I went out, I saw that there seemed to be smoke coming from here, so I went around the cliff to check, and this sight frightened me... It was five charred people! I was so frightened that my legs didn't obey the call, and when I collapsed underneath, I shouted that there were a few officials passing by not far away..."
