After finishing a day's classes, cultivation and physical training, Zhao Xifeng returned home and was not idle, but helped Zhao Wuzhang arrange dinner and accompanied his father to have a few drinks.

Since Zhao Xifeng was selected to enter the side hall of the school, everyone in the town knew that the children of the Zhao family would definitely be cultivators in the future, so Zhao Wu's status among the soldiers and servants had suddenly improved a lot. Now, no one makes fun of him for being cowardly, and no one will rob him of his wine, so Zhao Wu has been in a good mood recently.

After the meal, Zhao Xifeng helped the slightly drunk Zhao Wu into the back room to lie down, and after cleaning up the dishes and chopsticks, he left the small courtyard alone.

At this time, the sky in the town was already dark, and there were not many pedestrians, Zhao Xifeng only saw the blind man Jia and the old man who pulled the erhu when he passed by the drum tower in the center of the town, and they were chatting against the brick wall.

Now Jia is becoming more and more lazy to pretend to be blind in front of everyone in the town, and only occasionally when a foreign foot merchant passes by, he picks up his old business and performs.

Zhao Xifeng walked unhurriedly, and soon came to the side of a house surrounded by high walls in the west of the town, he walked to the back alley of the house, and stopped leaning against the wall in the shadows.

Probably after a cup of tea, a round rumbling head appeared on the wall of the house, which was Dong Erfat.

Dong Erpang turned over and crossed the courtyard wall of his house and walked to Zhao Xifeng's side, looking nervous and excited.

Zhao Xifeng's face was calm, and he stretched out his hand to Dong Erpang and said, "Did you get it?"

Dong Erpang tidied up his clothes, looked left and right vigilantly, took out a crumpled piece of paper from his arms, and handed it to Zhao Xifeng very proudly.

"This is the first cooperation between the Xifeng Sect and the Feng Exterminating Gang, things must be done beautifully, so that the entire town, no, the entire four northwestern provinces know the strength of our Panlong Academy! What Beiyue Academy, go back to Jiangnan!" Dong Erpang waved his fist excitedly, and said to Zhao Xifeng in a low voice, "It's just that the residences of these missing people have been checked countless times by Mu Zhutou, and nothing has been found at all, I really don't understand why you want to start here." ”

Zhao Xifeng took the note, read it carefully twice, frowned and said, "There are eleven people in total, are there any omissions?"

Dong Erpang shook his head and said: "That's all, since you were assassinated that day, martial law has been imposed in the town that night, all the people who have entered and exited have been registered, and there are only eleven missing people, who have completely disappeared without a trace." ”

Zhao Xifeng nodded and did not speak.

It turned out that Zhao Dong and the others actually wanted to use the strength of the two students themselves to find out the truth about Zhao Xifeng's assassination four months ago! Who bought the murder and who were the killers.

Today in the academy, when Zhao Xifeng and Dong Erpang met, the two carefully analyzed the reason for the assassination of Zhao Xifeng, and came to the conclusion that Zhao Xifeng was just an ordinary student in the town, and had no enemies, so the other party must be targeting the students of Panlong Academy, so the two decided to investigate privately to avoid other students being poisoned again.

For Dong Erpang, this operation is just a child's adventure game, and for Zhao Xifeng, who has experienced it and still has a scar on his back, it is his first counterattack against the enemy who is still hiding in the shadows, but in fact, they didn't expect that the two of them had no evidence and guessed out of thin air, which was infinitely close to the truth.

So, Zhao Xifeng asked Dong Erfat, relying on the relationship between his parents in the army, to find the travel records of all the people in the town on the night of the incident, and prepared to investigate the suspicious characters who began to disappear that night.

Dong Erpang took back the list and frowned and said: "Eleven people, even if we investigate one every night, it will take eleven days to complete the investigation, I don't know if there will be any variables if the time drags on for so long, and if you want to avoid the eyes of others, it is impossible to come out every day." ”

Zhao Xifeng also frowned, he also didn't want Zhao Wu to know that he was still involved in the assassination and to worry his father.

"Don't bother. Zhao Xufeng suddenly heard a sound of talking behind him, he turned his head suddenly, and instantly set up his fist, only to find that the person who came was Gu Qingyuan.

Zhao Xifeng's fist was not dispersed, his eyes were firmly fixed on Gu Qingyuan's shoulder, and he asked Dong Erpang, "You called him here?"

"Hey, hey... It's easy to get things done, and we also need a good brain. Dong Erpang touched his nose and smiled awkwardly and said.

Such a secret thing, Zhao Xifeng once repeatedly told Dong Erpang to keep it a secret, but on the first day of the two of them's action, it was known by a third person, Zhao Xifeng turned around angrily and left, but was stopped by Gu Qingyuan.

Gu Qingyuan smiled at Zhao Xifeng and said, "Don't blame him, I used the technique of returning to the valley to listen to you, overheard you in the side hall, and forcibly asked Dong Erpang to take me to join."

Zhao Xifeng had a gloomy face and said to Gu Qingyuan: "Have you thought about it, what we are investigating is a killer organization, which is very easy to cause trouble, and Mr. Zhou is not in the town, so no one will be able to help anyone at that time." ”

Gu Qingyuan still nodded with a smile.

So Zhao Xifeng reluctantly accepted the fact that this two-person team had become a three-person team, and at the same time, he had a new understanding of Gu Qingyuan's cultivation strength in his heart.

"The brain is easy to use, so what do you say we should do now?" Zhao Xifeng collected his thoughts, turned his attention back to the assassination, and handed over the list to Gu Qingyuan. Gu Qingyuan flipped for a while at will, let the two of them get closer, and then clicked on the paper three times at random, and said, "We only need to explore these three places." ”

"Why?" Dong Fat stretched his head out, but he didn't see a reason.

Gu Qingyuan said confidently: "You see, among the eleven people who disappeared, eight of them are in contact with each other, all of them are from the laundry in the south of the city, either men or tents, except for three people, one is Chen Mo, one is the butcher Li Si, and the other is the blacksmith in the west of the city." Among them, Chen Mo has confirmed his participation in the assassination, the government has been going back and forth in his residence for more than 100 days, and it makes no sense for us to go again, the remaining few people, the blacksmith shop must go, Li Si is far away from the residence of the remaining few people, presumably the killer joint, so Li Si must check, as for the homes of those laundry guys, there is no need to go, there must be no clues, but the laundry must go, in this way, we only have three places to investigate, namely: the blacksmith's house, Li Si's house, and the Chengnan laundry, as for where to go tonight, it depends on what our leader says。 ”

The two looked at Zhao Xifeng together.

Zhao Xifeng looked at the directory and hesitated for a long time, then pointed to one of them, and said resolutely: "Just go here!"
