Chapter 63: The Righteous Catch (Happy Chinese New Year's Eve)
Tang Fan regretted it very much and regretted coming to Jing County.
He served in Shangyang Mansion for several years because of his strength and righteous character. He has been responsible for all the homicides in Shangyang Province. Over the past few years, it is not that he has not encountered fierce criminals, on the contrary, he has encountered a lot. Many times he almost died in pursuit of fugitives.
However, it was the first time he encountered a fugitive who had really reached the second-rate master and could make a ruthless and fast sword.
If it was said that when Zhang Qingshan's sword qi broke out, he was eager to try it, and he had the idea of trying his hand at high and low, then when he used his life-killing sword, he knew that he was definitely not an opponent.
Because although the sword qi is strong, it is not ruthless.
The swords in the back were silent, but they were deadly. In the face of this kind of fast sword, although he is also second-rate, he thinks that he does not have the strength to hold up under this kind of fast sword.
Most of his strength is in the skill of chasing down criminals. Although the sword technique is not bad, and he has also realized the sword intent, in fact, the real combat effectiveness is definitely not as good as those second-rate masters in the martial arts.
Because in Shangyang Mansion, the second-rate people he encountered were just some people who had just opened the second meridian and barely entered the second-rate. A master like this man, he has no experience in fighting.
Therefore, he doesn't want to fight to the death, he feels that he is a fast catcher who is responsible for justice, but he wants to live more than justice and responsibility. Only by living can justice be better maintained.
"This master, can you stop, let's talk?" Tang Fan gasped, simply lay on the ground, and didn't dodge, hiding like this, it was a dead end anyway. It's better to try it and get the other person to stop.
Zhang Qingshan's sword had already stabbed out, like lightning, almost piercing Tang Fan's neck.
With a little force, the tip of the sword could pierce his trachea and end his life.
However, when he heard Tang Fan's words, he forcibly put away his sword.
He wanted to hear what the six doors wanted to say.
"Look, brother, if you really kill me, even though no one will see me at this moment. However, the county magistrate of Jingxian County died, and I, the catcher of the six gates of Shangyang Mansion, came here and died. It will definitely alarm the six doors of Shangjing, and when the time comes, it may be a first-class master. Do you think you can escape under the hands of a first-class master?" Tang Fan stretched out his hand, wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, and said.
The Cold Star Sword in Zhang Qingshan's hand stretched out again, pointed at Tang Fan's neck, and said with a smile: "If you want to persuade me to put down my weapon and surrender with you, then you might as well die!"
"Wait......" Tang Fan's face turned pale, and he quickly stretched out his hand to stop Zhang Qingshan from making a move, and hurriedly said, "Don't always fight and kill." You don't want to, and I'm not reluctant, right? But you can always tell me, why is it the county order of Jing County?"
This is his consistent method of handling cases, first chatting with the prisoners, and after getting acquainted with them, the natural truth will come out. It's just that this time, he wants to live from the hands of the prisoner.
Zhang Qingshan squinted his eyes, looked at the somewhat strange catcher in front of him, and said, "He wants to kill me, I can only kill him before he kills me!"
"Why did he kill you?" Tang Fan asked.
"Because I know his secret!"
Tang Fan hurriedly asked, "What secret?"
"Lin Buyi asked me to help go into Cangshan to hunt down the prisoner, but after I killed the prisoner, I found that the prisoner looked exactly like him. Moreover, he has the token of his county order on his body! So, he wanted to kill me several times, and yesterday he even arrested my relatives and threatened me, so I can only kill him first!" Zhang Qingshan put down the sword in his hand and said.
Tang Fan immediately frowned, "Cangshan, you mean the masked thief?"
"You know this person?"
"I know, this person is profound, and he is always dressed in night clothes, and he never shows his true face in front of people! When he fled into the mountain, I sent a message to the county government in Shangyang Mansion to pay attention to this person's whereabouts, and once discovered, report it immediately. However, there has been no news.
You said you killed him, and he still looks exactly like Lin Buyi?There is still Lin Buyi's token on his body?The token is still on you?" Tang Fan's brows furrowed even tighter, and he suddenly had a very bad feeling. The masked thief, he had pursued him for a long time, and he had always felt that his actions were secretive, and the route of his escape several times was very unreasonable, and the reason for what he committed has not been found out until now.
"My father will keep the token, and when I go back, I will naturally be able to get it!"
Tang Fan nodded, if it was really a token, then Lin Buyi's matter would not be simple.
That's right!
"Lin Buyi!" Tang Fan suddenly jumped up and immediately came to the side of Lin Buyi's corpse.
He immediately groped around Lin Buyi's body for a while.
However, nothing was found.
"No, how could it not be?" Tang Fan muttered to himself in confusion.
Zhang Qingshan looked at Tang Fan's appearance and asked, "What are you looking for?"
"If it's true as you say, the masked thief and Lin Buyi look exactly the same. Then one of the two of them must be a fake. Shangyang Mansion has Lin Buyi's identity record, he has no brothers, his parents both passed away a few years ago, where is the person who is exactly the same as him? There can only be one point, that is, Yi Rong. Disguise, most of them are human skin masks with unique potions, which make it impossible to notice, so I want to see if he has the medicine needed for disguise!" Tang Fan analyzed.
Zhang Qingshan's eyes suddenly lit up, and he took out the small cloth bag from his arms: "Is it this?"
Tang Fan immediately took it, opened it and looked at it, and was immediately overjoyed, "Not bad!"
After saying that, he took out the porcelain vases, put them in front of his nose and smelled them. Then, he took out one of the bottles, walked up to Lin Buyi, and dripped the potion in the porcelain bottle on his face.
Lin Buyi's face suddenly made a sound of "snort!"
After a while, Tang Fan picked up a human skin mask from Lin Buyi's face.
The human skin mask was still dripping with potion, dark yellow in color, soft to step on, and slimy, looking a little disgusting.
"Look at it!" Tang Fan pointed to Lin Buyi underground and said.
Zhang Qingshan took a look and immediately saw a completely unfamiliar face. The man looked to be in his thirties and had pale skin, which was probably the reason for the human skin mask. Other than that, there's nothing peculiar.
"It's really fake!" Zhang Qingshan was immediately overjoyed, and now the truth is revealed, Lin Buyi is a fake. If you kill him, you won't be guilty of a crime. The family doesn't have to run away.
Tang Fan took the human skin mask, stared at Lin Buyi on the ground for a while, and suddenly shook his head, "Where do I seem to have seen this person?"
He frowned and looked around carefully, "I must have seen his appearance, why can't I remember it?"
"No, no!" Tang Fan walked back and forth, touching his chin with one hand, pondering.
After a long time, he suddenly shouted, "I know!
