Chapter 80: Removing Adultery and Protecting the Bell (17)
As soon as the tall masked man died, Long Shaotian couldn't help but feel greatly frustrated. He had taken great care to prevent any accidents from happening, but this important witness was still killed right under his nose. He was worried that Haruka and Mo Yan would have any accidents, and he didn't bother to check the cause of the tall masked man's death, so he hurriedly pulled out and rushed back.
When approaching the dilapidated house, Long Shaotian had already seen two beautiful figures standing in the open space looking around nervously, these two were Chunxiang and Mo Yan. Long Shaotian couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief when he saw that the two of them were fine.
The two girls were also very happy to see Long Shaotian, but their expressions were a little unnatural.
Long Shaotian frowned and asked, "Chunxiang, what's wrong?"
Haruka said, "Those two escaped. Looking at Chunxiang's situation, it seems to be a little apologetic, and Mo Yan is the same. The two of her were trying to help Long Shaotian, but now that the matter has not been done, she naturally feels that she is a little sorry for Long Shaotian.
After Long Shaotian saw the thoughts of the two girls, his brows widened greatly, he thought that something big had happened. Things have developed to this point, and the role of those two people is obviously not much, at most they can confess from their mouths to the people behind the scenes, but that kind of possibility is not very likely, once captured, they may also die inexplicably like a tall masked man. He was thinking that the two people he had pointed at were either dead or had fled.
Seeing that Long Shaotian didn't speak, Chunxiang asked in turn, "Young Master, what's wrong?"
Long Shaotian said: "It's okay, as long as you're okay, don't care about them, I already know who they are." ”
Chunxiang and Mo Yan looked at Long Shaotian with puzzled expressions.
Long Shaotian said: "This matter is a long story, let's rush to Kaifeng Mansion first." I'll tell you all the details on the way. ”
After listening to Long Shaotian's narration, Chunxiang said, "According to this view, the deputy leader of the beggar gang may be the murderer. ”
Mo Yan was a little puzzled. He asked, "Why is it just possible? I think he's the murderer." ”
Long Shaotian said: "Chunxiang, have you thought of it too?"
Chunxiang nodded, and Mo Yan was even more puzzled.
Haruka continued, "Let's assume that the man is telling the young master the truth, and that he was ordered by his leader to hand over Suzu's sword to the deputy gang leader. However, he did not say that he had anything to do with the deputy gang leader, so there could be two possibilities: the first was that he gave the sword to the deputy gang leader without the knowledge of the deputy gang leader, and the second was that he gave the sword to the deputy gang leader without the deputy gang leader's knowledge. In the first case, it means that he or his leader and deputy gang leader are in collusion. It is very likely that the gang leader is the murderer, if not his own hand, he must have been instructed by him. If it is the second case. It is likely that the gang leader was also used by them. But it's not easy to do this!"
Long Shaotian said: "But if they can do this kind of process, they are really not simple. ”
Mo Yan frowned and said, "I still don't quite understand." ”
Chunxiang said: "First of all, their purpose may be to deal with the young master. But for some reason, he can't go head-to-head with the young master. Blaming the young master for the crime of killing the leader of the beggar gang was their first plan. The beggar gang is the largest gang in the rivers and lakes, and its disciples are all over the world, and even if they are enemies, they will never win. Of course, they are also worried that the young master will track down the real murderer. In fact, they should have thought that the young master would definitely track down the murderer, so they had to make another arrangement. Handing over Xiao Ling's sword to the deputy gang leader was their second step plan, so that even if the young master tracked it down, at most it could only be found on the deputy gang leader. After making such an arrangement, they even hoped that the young master would be able to track it down. So that the young master and the deputy gang leader can fight each other, and both will lose. And they're sitting behind the fisherman's profits!"
Mo Yan was stunned after hearing this, and said, "This ...... It's too sinister!"
Long Shaotian showed a smile and said, "It's a pity that their wishful thinking has been exposed by our female middle school Zhuge . ”
Chunxiang glared at Long Shaotian and said, "I'm still in the mood to joke at this time." This is just my speculation, didn't the young master say that he didn't want to track down the real murderer?"
Long Shaotian nodded and said, "Because that girl said she didn't want to investigate." ”
Chunxiang said: "But they never thought that Xiao Ling would say that he didn't want to track down the real murderer, and they couldn't imagine that the young master would obey Xiao Ling's meaning." It can break their plan in this way, so it will definitely stop it in every possible way. Why did the young master later decide to track down the real culprit?"
Long Shaotian looked at Chunxiang in amazement and said, "How could Chunxiang want to track down the real murderer?"
Chunxiang said: "Of course the young master didn't say it, didn't you leave Xiaoling in Kaifeng Mansion to find out the real murderer alone?"
Long Shaotian smirked twice and said, "I still can't hide anything from Chunxiang." ”
Chunxiang rolled her eyes and said, "The young master hasn't answered my question yet, why did he decide to track down the real murderer?"
Long Shaotian's eyebrows sank, and he said, "Because things are getting out of control!"
Chunxiang said: "Did the young master ever think that maybe they were doing something wrong?"
Long Shaotian was also taken aback when he stopped, and said, "You mean that those people who were killed after receiving the heroic orders of the beggar gang are just bait for them to change my mind in order to make things bigger?"
Haruka said: "It's very likely. ”
Long Shaotian's whole body was suddenly shocked, he didn't know what to say for a while, his face showed a trace of fatigue, and he said after a long time: "If this is the case, I really don't know what kind of hatred that person has with me, and let so many unrelated people get involved, why doesn't he come and break off with me directly?"
Seeing this, Chunxiang hurriedly said: "The young master doesn't have to blame himself too much, even if this is the case, that person may not have an enmity with the young master, maybe he just wants to trouble the young master, and judging from the current situation, that person is likely to be a member of the beggar gang." ”
Long Shaotian said: "Why does Chunxiang think that the murderer will be a member of the beggar gang?"
Chunxiang didn't answer his question, but said to herself: "If the murderer is really a member of the beggar gang, his target may not be the young master, but Xiaoling!"
Long Shaotian couldn't keep up with Chunxiang's thinking rhythm at this time, and Mo Yan didn't understand why Chunxiang came to this conclusion, so both of them looked at Chunxiang with puzzled faces.
Haruka continued: "Young master, think about it, if someone in the beggar gang wants to take the position of the gang leader, should he get rid of the current gang leader first? First, he was afraid that the relatives of the gang leader would come to him to take revenge or compete with him for the position of the gang leader, and he probably knew that the gang leader also had a granddaughter, so he regarded Xiao Ling as a thorn in his side. Second, he was also afraid that the authoritative people in the gang would block his plan, and after the death of the gang leader, the most authoritative person in the gang leader was no more powerful than the deputy gang leader, so he wanted to use the hand of the young master to get rid of the deputy gang leader. ”
Long Shaotian was a little dumbfounded when he heard Chunxiang's analysis. He also suspected that the murderer was a member of the beggar gang, but only inferred from the death of the gang leader. He never thought that the other party's purpose would be Xiao Ling, because according to the two points analyzed by Haruka, Xiao Ling did not want to avenge her grandfather, and she was not interested in the leader of the beggar gang. But he only thinks from Xiaoling's point of view, what if he stands from the other party's point of view?
So Long Shaotian really admired Chunxiang for thinking of this, and couldn't help but sigh: "Chunxiang, you are really getting more and more powerful!"
Haruka smiled: "It's all just my guess, it's hard for me to predict what the situation really is." ”
Long Shaotian said: "It seems that only by going to see Deputy Gang Leader Xue again, seeing him may be able to solve a lot of mysteries." ”
Chunxiang nodded and said, "But we also have to be careful, if the deputy gang leader is really a murderer, I'm afraid that a trap is waiting for us at this moment." ”
Long Shaotian suddenly stopped, and said with a solemn expression: "This time, I will go alone!"
Chunxiang and Mo Yan were stunned at the same time, and Chunxiang said with a stern expression: "Does the young master want to solve a qiē by one person?"
Long Shaotian said: "It's just to see someone, don't worry." ”
Haruka lost her voice and said, "How can you not worry? Every time it makes us worry! Can't the young master rely on us more?"
Long Shaotian said gloomily: "I'm really sorry to worry you, in fact, I have relied on you a lot, and there will definitely be many places to rely on you in the future, so you must not have anything to do! This time the opponent may be different from before, so far, we don't know their true faces, so this time there is probably no result, there is no need to let you take risks for this." ”
Chunxiang wanted to say something, but Long Shaotian said again: "Believe me, even if there are any traps, I will definitely be able to get out of the way!"
Since Long Shaotian said so, what else could Chunxiang say? If there was any objection, wouldn't it be that he didn't trust Long Shaotian? So when Mo Yan wanted to speak, he was also stopped by Chunxiang.
When the sky is getting brighter, the city wall of Kaifeng Mansion is also in front of you. The three of them went to Kaifeng, first to Gongsun Youlongna to meet Xiaoling, and then Long Shaotian went to the broken temple where the beggar gang's main altar was located.
It was still early in the morning, and there were not many pedestrians on the street, but for convenience, Long Shaotian changed back to the appearance of a scholar. In order to make as little appearance as possible, a carriage was hired as soon as he entered the city. In order to prevent being followed, the three got out of the car in a place with few people, sent the coachman away, and walked to Gongsun Youlong's house. Because it is always better to perceive outside the car than inside the car, it is easy to be found if there is a person who is following, but it is normal all the way, and there is no sign of being followed.
Finally arrived at Gongsun Youlong's mansion, Long Shaotian stepped forward and knocked on the door, but there was no answer for a long time. He knocked a few more times, and after a while, a voice finally came from inside, "Who's outside?"
Long Shaotian heard that it was Dai Fang's voice, so he reported his name. The door opened suddenly, and it was Dai Fang who opened the door. Dai Fang didn't look very happy when he saw Long Shaotian, but his face was nervous, and his eyebrows were also knotted. Seeing this expression, Long Shaotian knew that something might have happened.
