Chapter 34: The Blacksmith
The detective trio and Li Xuan walked out of the school together, Gu Qingyuan learned from the people in the rivers and lakes, and said jokingly to Zhao Xifeng: "Brother Xifeng, in the future, brother, please give me more advice." ”
"It's easy to say, it's easy to say. Zhao Xifeng also smiled and bowed his hand, paused and said seriously, "Tomorrow when the sun rises, I will wait for you under the peach tree, in fact, I don't have much knowledge, as long as I can endure hardship." ”
"Enduring hardship is not a university question. Gu Qingyuan nodded with a smile, said goodbye to the three of them one by one, and went home.
Dong Erpang didn't pay attention to what the two were saying, he had a booklet in his hand, which was the exercises that Zhong Li had chosen for him, and he was overjoyed to look at it again and again, muttering to himself: "Wonderful, good, really amazing..." and so on, even Li Xuan and Zhao Xifeng had already not noticed it, and stood on the street until the waning West Mountain, and then suddenly returned to their senses and walked home.
Later, for a period of time, the school jumped every day, and it was difficult for the students who learned these deadly and powerful exercises for the first time to control the power, so the residents living around the school could often hear explosions, wind and thunder and even screams, lightning and thunder in the sky above the school, and it was common for the fire to soar into the sky, and even once, Han Xiao's father was cooking, and a figure fell from the sky and almost didn't fall into the pot. Take a closer look, it is his own son! Han Xiao got up, and ran towards the school with an embarrassed smile on his face.
While everyone was busy cultivating various techniques, there was only one person who seemed particularly idle, and that was Li Xuan.
Li Xuan still can't feel it at first time, Qian Fuzi has helped Li Xuan to perceive the vitality many times, and even offered to take the clear liquid of Shanhai Lake to Li Xuan to see if it can help, but Li Xuan is all right, so she is only responsible for it every day, bandaging the wounds when everyone is accidentally injured in cultivation, and then running back and forth after Zhao Xifeng, who is following various animals in Xuexi. Seeing Dong Erfat, he was both envious and jealous.
On this day, Zhao Xifeng took Gu Qingyuan to complete the physical training under the peach tree, and the two wiped off their sweat and walked to the school, for Gu Qingyuan, Zhao Xifeng was very impressed, before that, Gu Qingyuan's degree of forging was not very good, after all, the Gu family has been a Confucian merchant for generations, and they don't pay much attention to the cultivation of the physique, so Gu Qingyuan's foundation has always been relatively weak, not to mention that compared with Zhao Xifeng and Dong Erpang and others, even compared to Li Xuan, it may not be much stronger. However, in the past few days, he not only completed Zhao Xifeng's physical cultivation homework twice as many orders of magnitude as Zhong Li's requirements, but even exceeded a part of his self-cultivation after returning home every day, this kind of perseverance is really admirable.
The two walked on the way to the school, because they were tired, so they didn't speak, and when they were two streets away from the school, they were stopped head-on, it was the town that caught Mu Tie.
Mu Tie beckoned: "Xifeng, there has been some progress in the case on my side, can you take a step to speak." ”
Zhao Xifeng nodded in agreement, Gu Qingyuan smiled, and went to school first.
After Gu Qingyuan left, Zhao Xifeng asked Mu Tie, "I don't know what Uncle Mu is looking for me?"
Mu Tie said with a serious expression: "That's the case, my brother found a corpse in an abandoned cellar in the west of the town, it is likely to be related to your assassination at the beginning of the year, please come and take a look, can you identify it." ”
Zhao Xifeng nodded silently and followed Mu Tie.
The two of them came to the room where the body was specially parked in the yamen without saying a word, and on a table covered with a white cloth, a corpse that had decomposed to the point of not being able to see the face clearly was lying on it with a foul smell, Mu Tie took out a wet towel and covered his mouth and nose, and at the same time, Zhao Xifeng was on the side, and Zhao Xifeng did the same.
Mu Tie pointed to the corpse and said: "I just found it last night, after examination, the time of death was about four or five months ago, exactly, around the night you were stabbed, through the tooth socket, it is basically certain that the deceased is the blacksmith Yu Gang who disappeared that night, do you know him?"
The blacksmith is dead, and the last clue is broken. Zhao Xifeng thought to himself in his heart, and said: "I have seen it on weekdays, but I am not familiar with it, and I didn't have time to turn back when I was stabbed on the night of the crime, so I can't be sure if it's him." ”
"Probably not, look here. As he spoke, Mu Tie turned the corpse over, revealing his back and pointing near his left spine. A knife wound about an inch long, leading from the ribs to the heart, was the only wound on the corpse, and it was also a fatal stab.
For such a knife, Zhao Xifeng is very familiar with it, because this technique is the knife that was stabbed from the cow to him, and even the position of the knife is almost the same.
"This knife wound..."Zhao Xifeng looked back at Mu Tie.
"That's right," Mu Tie said, "It's exactly the same as the knife that hurt you, no matter the position, strength, or angle, and I have reason to suspect that it was done by the same person." We carefully investigated the life trajectory of Blacksmith Yu in the past 20 years, she came to the town eight years ago, before that, the Great Zhou Government did not have any relevant records about him, this person appeared like a thin air, you look at his hands again, normal blacksmiths hit the iron hammer, the calluses are the palms and thumbs, and the position of the calluses of Yu Blacksmith's hands is four fingertips, more like the cultivation of outer kung fu left. Therefore, I judged that Blacksmith Chen was the partner who was sent by the killer organization to target you with Chen Mo, but for some reason, he was killed before meeting Chen Mo, and then this person took the place of Blacksmith Yu to hide from Chen Mo and stabbed you almost with your life, that is to say, there may be more than one wave of people in the town who want to kill you, and they do not cooperate with each other. ”
Zhao Xifeng was silent.
Mu Tie thought that Zhao Xifeng was scared, after all, he was still a child, so he stepped forward and comforted: "Don't worry, the Minggang and secret posts that have been with you in the past few months have never stopped, you believe that Uncle Mu will not let these young people succeed." ”
Zhao Xifeng nodded silently, and after thanking Mu Tie, he left the morgue and walked back to the school.
Along the way, he thought carefully about who had to kill him and who he had a mortal enmity with, and he was confused when he thought about it.
Just when he was thinking about it and couldn't figure it out, a very familiar young man in white stopped his way, smiled at him and said, "Zhao Xifeng, let's meet again." ”
Zhao Xifeng looked at this familiar face, couldn't remember who he was for a while, and was in a depressed mood, so he asked angrily, "Who are you?"
"My name is Ma Sichen, a student of Beiyue Academy, and I am also the one who almost killed you. Ma Zichen replied with a smile.
