Chapter 5 Phantom Sunset analyzes the case, and Fang Zhutou finds clues
After analyzing it, Fang Lin added: "Since the person who reported the news couldn't take the meteorite, it means that the meteorite is very heavy or large, or someone is guarding it. I think the messenger must be trying to make a profit from it, and the key is whether he is seeking meteorites or silver!"
"By the way, Knife, you take the black knife and show it to the master of the sand village. ”
The knife took the black knife out of its sheath and showed it to the owner of the sand village, and Sha Zhantang looked at it and exclaimed: "What a good knife." This must be a meteorite. It's just that meteorite has always been heavy, but the weight of this knife is a bit light. ”
"Not bad. I think the man who forged the sword must have widened it for the sake of adding weight. The owner of the sand village, the father of the knife was chased and killed by the messenger, maybe it was for this black knife. I suspect this black knife may have come from here. Look at how many blacksmiths can forge this knife in Shandong. ”
"That's not a good thing to say. This kind of metal looks like the kind of metal with a high melting point, and ordinary furnaces can't melt at all, so they need that kind of blast furnace with strong firepower. ”
"In that case, it shouldn't be difficult to find this craftsman. ”
"As long as you follow the smelter with the blast furnace, it is not difficult to investigate. But it is not easy to find out who it is. ”
"Since the person who reported the news found the Divine Sword Village, it is enough to show that he himself is local, even if he is not very familiar with your Divine Sword Village. Even he himself is a retail investor in prospecting and mining. So let's investigate in a small area first, maybe this knife maker is in your Divine Sword Village. ”
Sha Zhantang thought about it and didn't refute it, but agreed very much: "Hey, it's really possible." In the smelting yard of our Shendao Village, several blast furnaces are fired at the same time every day, and each blast furnace has a special person in charge, and it is very easy for one of them to secretly smelt some private work. ”
At this time, one of the supervisors of Shendaozhai who accompanied him spoke: "In fact, there are often cases of doing private work. As long as we don't have two hearts for our Divine Sword Village, we basically acquiesce. ”
This supervisor is called Sha Zhanting, a cousin of Sha Zhantang, who is responsible for the daily security work of Shendao Village, and he led the team in the previous search mission.
Sha Zhantang also said: "We hold a knife forging conference every year, and the winning team can not only keep the knife they forged, but also get additional rewards. Therefore, most masters who plan to do private work will explain their situation. Most of these people are entrusted by friends, and there are very few of them for money. After all, the wages given by our Divine Sword Village are not small. But if it is such a knife, the patron Xu Yiyi does not dare to guarantee that there is no master to behave. ”
"Lord Shazhai, how much silver do you think this knife can be sold for if it is sold?"
"If it were me, I wouldn't have sold it. For example, it would cost at least a thousand taels of silver. ”
"Then how much silver can your sword-forging master earn the most in a year?"
"If you count all kinds of benefits, you can have a thousand or two. If you get the top three in the sword forging competition, you can even double it. ”
"And how long does it take to forge a knife like this?"
"Three months at most. ”
"So it's definitely not realistic to say it's for money. ”
"So if this knife is really forged by the master of our Divine Sword Village, then it must not be for money!"
"That's right. In this way, the master who forged the knife must be very familiar with the customer. It is very likely that the patron of this forging knife is the father of the knife. Lord of the Sand Village, do you still have the two portraits that the alliance divided?"
"Usually such things are destroyed after they are finished. But because this person has not been found, he has always kept it. A while ago, the messenger came out and brought out these two portraits, which are now ready-made. ”
"Well, you use that portrait to find someone in the know. We continue to survey the site. I still don't think this scene was the place where the crime took place. ”
"It's really not the place where the crime happened!" the cold Fang Lin suddenly said such a sentence.
Sha Zhantang handed the black knife to Sha Zhanting, "Second brother, you go back to do this first." ”
"No, big brother, they let you go. ”
"Tsk!"
"Okay, I'll go. Who made you the one in charge? Imperious!"
Phantom Xixu silently sweated, and said in his heart that these two brothers are really interesting.
"Fang Zhutou, you continue!" Sha Zhantang reminded him very calmly when he saw that Fang Lin was in a daze.
"Ah, oh! When I was surveying the site, I sensed something was wrong. But at that time, I was so focused on the corpse that I ignored it. Now that I think about it, I missed a very important clue at that time. Originally, those people were cut in two by a quick knife, and they should have fallen to the ground in an orderly manner, but the situation at that time was very chaotic. ”
"Shhhhh I thought about it, too. The corpses that had been cut in two were out of order, not in the same direction at all, and there would never be such a big explosion when the knife was cut down so quickly. Because the bodies were cut off in different positions, the bodies that were cut in two were very scattered, but it was easy to see at a glance which two of them belonged to the same body. So everyone didn't care about this situation at the time, and now that I think about it, it is really suspicious. ”
"This little brother is really quick-witted. Now that this scene has long been unrecognizable, the little brother can see the ingenuity at a glance. ”
The illusion of the sunset is dark and dark. This was a complete misunderstanding, he only felt that since the meteorite fell from the sky, it would inevitably move grandly, although it was desolate but peaceful, it was not at all like the destruction of the heavenly calamity. But then in Fang Lin's words, he thought that maybe there was no such meteorite at all, or that these people were intercepted and killed halfway. Speaking of which, he is purely a feeling, does not need any thinking, pure is a flash of inspiration, as for right and wrong, it is completely irrelevant.
He smiled and said, "Where, where, I just feel, not any ingenuity." ”
"Phantom little brother, just now you said that you re-investigated the scene, but you don't know where to start. ”
"I don't think there are any people here, and there is pure nature everywhere. If the murderer had killed someone elsewhere and moved the body here, there would have been some traces, and we might have found some clues if we looked closely. ”
"Not bad. This is another oversight on my part. In the past few days, I have also followed up on this case, but I always start with personnel and ignore the investigation of the place where the crime occurred. It was dusk when we found this place, and the light was dim and we were much more careless when we surveyed the site. Unfortunately, it is even more difficult to find any clues after many days. ”
"Fang Zhutou, you have to believe in the will of heaven. The sky net is restored, and even if the murderer can escape for a while, it is difficult to escape for a lifetime. ”
Even if he really escapes for a lifetime, it is difficult to escape the condemnation of conscience. Knife remembered the nightmares he still had occasionally, and involuntarily added.
There were a total of six people who came out this time, and there were only five people left after leaving Sha Zhanting before. And there are exactly five hills around this valley, and one by one they are meticulously searched.
After looking for a little while, Fang Lin shouted loudly: "There are clues here!"
Everyone rushed to it. Fang Lin pointed to a large pebble protruding from the ground and said, "Everyone, please see if the black line on this stone is somewhat similar to the charred black on the wound of that corpse. ”
Everyone took a closer look, and sure enough, they saw a black mark on the stone, which looked like the natural texture of the stone but was a little out of place.
The three of them hadn't seen those corpses and naturally couldn't see anything, but Sha Zhantang said, "It's indeed a little similar!"
Fang Lin said: "Let's look around and see if there are any similar traces." ”
Everyone searched for it in all directions, and it didn't take long for them to see the same mark on a stone, and he called them to continue to look in this direction, but there was no such trace again.
"What do you think, everyone?" Sha Zhantang asked the rear Lin Jie and replied, "This trace does not look like a natural formation, judging from the location of the two traces, it should be inadvertently left by the mysterious swordsman." ”
Sha Zhantang analyzed: "Let's assume that this is caused by the knife man's sword, then his knife must be soaked with poison. Since we have already expected that this place is not the scene of the killing, it is natural that these two traces are not left over from the fight. This also confirms our suspicion that this is not the scene of the killing, otherwise there would have been many such marks left near the corpse, which was already two or three miles away from the place where the body was found. ”
"But how did the mysterious swordsman inadvertently leave these traces? Could it be that he had a knife in his hand and accidentally left it while he was in a hurry, and it didn't look like that. Fang Lin squatted down and took a closer look at the trace, "Hmm, I don't think this trace looks like a knife mark, it looks like a mark left by a soft whip." Lord of the sand village, do you know who is good at whipping people in the rivers and lakes, and they can whip people in half with one whip!"
"Shhhhh It seems hard. It is unheard of to use a soft whip to whip a person in half. As far as I know, the Black Tiger Hall is the most famous one who is good at whipping in the rivers and lakes, but I have not personally contacted the people of the Black Tiger Hall, and I don't know if there are such masters in their hall. It would be terrible if there really was such a master. ”
"If it is impregnated with a corrosive poison, it is not the power of the whip but the power of the poison to cut the human body in half?"
Fang Lin Yan let everyone break out in a cold sweat, and Sha Zhantang smiled bitterly: "I would rather believe that there is such a master in this world, not such a powerful poison." If you are a master, the number must be very limited. But if it's poison, then an ordinary minion can become a great threat. ”
"Not bad. "If that person's whip is made of special materials, coupled with the assistance of internal strength, and the bonus of speed, it is not impossible to split the person in half. ”
