The wind blows from the lake, carrying a moist and cool smell.

In the north, where spring rains are as expensive as oil, this humid air is almost a luxury.

This is also the charming charm of Jinan.

Wei Changkong smiled, "Jade Xiaoyao is Jade Xiaoyao, I know that I didn't find the wrong person." ”

Yu Xiaoyao sighed: "I would rather you found the wrong person." ”

"Oh?" Wei Changkong asked, "Why?"

Yu Xiaoyao said: "You can even call a character like the Nine Dragons of the Yellow River at will, but you must come to me, which shows that the troublesome matter you are about to talk about is indeed not small." ”

Wei Changkong said: "For others, it may be so, but for you, it may not be. ”

Yu Xiaoyao said: "You should know that compliments are of little use to people like me. ”

Wei Changkong said: "Because I know that no matter what I say, you will definitely agree to this matter after hearing about it." ”

Yu Yao glanced at him, and the old man showed a sly smile.

"Why?" asked Yu Yao.

Wei Changkong replied, "Because I will tell you the secret of the Blood Lion." ”

"The secret of the Blood Lion?" Yu Xiaoyao frowned, and he smiled bitterly, "This is indeed a bargaining chip that cannot be refused. ”

"You're wrong. Wei Changkong said, "This is not a bargaining chip, this may be the answer to all riddles." ”

So, they sat on the stone bench of the Lixia Pavilion, and Wei Changkong recounted a past incident more than 20 years ago.

"At that time, Xu Lao was just a catcher, I was his deputy, we had solved many cases together, and we had also caught a lot of Jiangyang thieves and martial arts scum. ”

"At that time, there was a strange case, that is, the theft of the German Prince's Mansion. ”

"King De's Mansion is in Jinan City, this case was naturally arranged on the head of Mr. Xu, I and Mr. Xu together, along the vine, found the head of the famous Jinan hero Lin Yuan. ”

Lin Yuan was a famous chivalrous warrior at that time, with a great reputation, and he was known for his reputation, so when he found out about his head, Xu Lao was still a little hesitant. ”

"But in the spirit of conscientiousness, we still searched the Lin Mansion, and as a result, a blood jade lion was found from the firewood room of the Lin Mansion, and this blood jade lion was the stolen goods in the theft of the Dewang Mansion. ”

It is also strange that Xu Lao was eager to make meritorious contributions at that time, so he immediately arrested Lin Yuan in prison and tortured him to extract a confession, so that he could confess the whereabouts of his comrades and stolen goods. ”

"But this matter was not done by Lin Yuan at all, where did he go to explain. ”

After repeated questioning to no avail, who knew that this Lin Yuan committed suicide in prison. ”

"Later, Xu Lao and I chased another clue, and finally found the real thief, after they confessed, they knew that these three thieves and Lin Yuan were good friends, after committing the crime, they did run to the Lin Mansion to avoid the limelight, but Lin Yuan had no idea about this matter. ”

Speaking of this, Wei Changkong sighed and said: "In this life, although Xu Lao does not dare to say that he is above board, he rarely wrongs others, especially in this matter, he is almost equivalent to indirectly killing Lin Yuan, so this matter has always been a scar in his heart. ”

"But now, someone has opened the scar. Yu Xiaoyao said, "So Xu Lao himself was weak first." ”

Wei Changkong shook his head and said, "But things are not so simple. ”

"What do you say?" asked Yu Xiaoyao.

Wei Changkong said: "What is just the story just now, and the next thing I want to ask you to do." ”

Yu Xiaoyao said: "Then can I not listen to it next?"

Wei Changkong rejected him: "No." ”

Yu Xiaoyao sighed resignedly and said, "Okay, you can say it." ”

Wei Changkong said: "Have you ever heard of the two accounts in the six doors. ”

Yu Xiaoyao blinked and said, "Is it a red and black account?" I have heard people mention that the red account records the information of the people recruited by the six gates, and the black account records the information of those Jiangyang thieves who have been arrested by the six gates. Could it be true?"

Wei Changkong nodded and said, "Yes, this is indeed true. ”

Yu Xiaoyao said: "Let me guess, these two accounts are in Xu Lao's hands, and now that Xu Lao is dead, these two accounts are gone?"

Wei Changkong said: "If I didn't know your details, I would almost think that you did this now." ”

Yu Xiaoyao said: "So you think that the person who kills may not only be for revenge, but even, revenge itself may be a disguise, and stealing those two ledgers is the goal." ”

Wei Changkong said: "Exactly, if those two account books fall into the hands of the gangsters, I am afraid that there will be another bloody storm on the rivers and lakes." ”

Yu Xiaoyao said: "But I can't figure it out, why did Jiang Yuhuo involve Xue Qing, and what does Xue Qing have to do with this matter?"

"About that, I thought I could tell you. Wei Changkong groaned.

"Oh?" Yu Xiaoyao became interested, "What do you say?"

Wei Changkong said: "Xue Qing's father was close friends with Lin Yuan at that time, not only that, according to our investigation, Xue Qing was fostered by the Lin family for a period of time when he was young. ”

Yu Xiaoyao said: "So you think Xue Qing may be trying to avenge Lin Yuan?"

Wei Changkong shook his head and said, "But I can't figure out why Xue Qing stole the account book, so I have to ask you to find out about this matter." ”

Yu Xiaoyao felt that his first one was two big at the moment, he looked at the sky, it was not too late, there were still three hours before midnight.

But I don't know how many things will happen in these three hours.

"One last question. Yu Xiaoyao said, "Where are those three thieves now?"

Wei Changkong smiled, "I knew you would definitely ask this question." ”

He Shi Shiran stood up and said, "I also want to help you, but their current identities are only known to Elder Xu, of course, if you can find the red and black accounts, you should be able to find the answer." ”

Yu Xiaoyao smiled bitterly: "I'm afraid that by then, I will already know the answer." ”

Yu Xiaoyao came out of Lixia Pavilion, thought about what Wei Changkong said just now, and suddenly found that Wei Changkong seemed to have said a lot, but in fact there was no useful news at all, but he let himself willingly fall into the trap and work for him.

He slowed down his pace and walked aimlessly on the street, slowly recalling what happened today, and gradually, several clues gradually formed in his mind.

First, if it is really as Wei Changkong said, Xue Qing does have some connection with this case, but Yu Xiaoyao believes that Xue Qing is by no means the real murderer behind the scenes. Because Xue Qing's people are like the sword in his hand, he goes straight and straight, and he will never play so many tricks.

Second, the reason why Wei Changkong left the entire six doors without using it and came to him on purpose was because Wei Changkong suspected that someone in the six doors was involved in this matter, this kind of thing could not be said, but Wei Changkong must have known that he should be able to think of this layer.

Third, in addition to Wei Changkong and the dead Xu Sanying, those three thieves are probably the only remaining insiders of the Blood Lion, and this matter is inseparable from them.

After sorting out these points, Yu Xiaoyao's thoughts gradually became clearer, and he was now almost certain that Lion Liu must be one of the three thieves back then, and it was also the most important clue, so is Uncle Xu also one of the thieves? This possibility cannot be ruled out.

And the person who has not been hidden in the shadows now, the person who gave it to Hu Yijiu, could it also be one of the big thieves?

If there was someone inside the six doors, who would it be?

Thinking like this, he unconsciously returned to the door of the Xu Mansion, and the white flags on the gate were waving, which made people feel cold.

He walked into the gate and found a person standing in front of the burned mourning hall, who said that he wanted to go back to the six doors to mobilize people and horses.

"So you're here. Yu Xiaoyao walked over, "I was looking for you." ”

"I was looking for you, too. Jiang Yuhuo said lightly.

Yu Xiaoyao noticed that his tone was wrong, "What's wrong?"

Jiang Yuhuo said: "Uncle Xu is gone." ”

"What?!" Yu Xiaoyao exclaimed.

Jiang Yuhuo said: "After I went back to the official office to make arrangements, I came here, I wanted to have a good chat with Uncle Xu, but I found that Uncle Xu was gone, I asked the next person, and they said that Uncle Xu hurriedly went out an hour ago, and I don't know where he went." ”

"So you're just waiting here?" asked Yu Xiaoyao, raising a frown.

"Because there's another thing I've discovered. Jiang Yuhuo said lightly.

"What's the matter?" asked Yu Xiaoyao.

Jiang Yuhuo turned his head and stared at him coldly, "My master's body has been stolen and replaced. ”

Yu Xiaoyao said in a lost voice: "How could it be?!When will it happen?"

Jiang Yuhuo said: "Before that fire, the fire burned not my master's body at all, but the body of another person. ”

Yu Xiaoyao asked, "Whose corpse is it?"

Jiang Yuhuo sneered: "Shouldn't this be asked of you?"

"Ask me?" Yu Xiaoyao said blankly.

Jiang Yuhuo said, "Do you remember the conclusion you came to when you saw that corpse?"

Yu Xiaoyao nodded and said, "The wound on the corpse just proves that Xue Qing is not a murderer. ”

Jiang Yuhuo said: "Yes, I didn't think there was anything wrong at the time, just now the coffin shop sent the coffin over, I collected the body of the master, and suddenly thought of your words, so I carefully checked the body, and found that it was not my master at all!"

Yu Xiaoyao said: "So you think that in order to exonerate Xue Qing, I deliberately set fire, and let Xue Qing kill one person and put it in the coffin, so as to confuse the public?"

Jiang Yuhuo said: "Very good, this is your own confession, but it is not my guess." ”

Yu Xiaoyao laughed angrily, "Don't forget, I was with you at the time!"

"So you must still have a helper," Jiang Yuhuo said, "You also said just now, it was Xue Qing who killed this person, you lured me away, Xue Qing dropped the corpse, and then set this fire." ”

Yu Xiaoyao sneered: "It seems that I must have done the right thing in this matter?!"

Jiang Yuhuo suddenly said coldly: "The thief has confessed, where is the crossbowman!"

I only heard the sound of chaotic footsteps, and about a dozen six-door catchers appeared from everywhere, the sound of crossbows rolling, and the arrows flashing with cold light were aimed at Yu Xiaoyao.
