Chapter 19 Risking Your Life
"The world is so big, there are no wonders, and there are not necessarily people like that. Pony said, "If this is the only thing, I don't think Brother Wen will assume that the murderer is not human, he must have discovered something else strange." ”
The reason why I think the murderer is not human is because I found a strange thing in the five dead who were pierced through the throat.
"Pony just said that the murderer's martial arts are strange and domineering, and can instantly clot blood clots, seal wounds, and prevent blood from leaking. On the surface, this seems to be the case, but upon closer examination, I found that the blood on the deceased's body had been drained and had been sucked by the killer at the moment when he was piercing his throat. ”
"Sucking blood with your hands, or blinking an eye, it's ridiculous. Before the warm words fell, Shanyuan had already shouted, "Not to mention that it is impossible for people, even all kinds of livestock have never heard of eating on all fours, it is really ridiculous." ”
Murong Yuxin also shook his head again and again, and said: "This matter sounds really incredible, just imagine that there are thirty-two people in the dart game, even if only half of them died from finger piercing, there are as many as sixteen. Even if the murderer really had that incredible ability to suck blood, how could his body be far larger than that of a cow or a horse in order to contain so much blood in such a short time?
"It is said that there is a kind of martial arts in the Western Regions that is regarded as a crooked and evil way, and after practice, you can absorb the skills of others, scatter them into the eight veins of the Qi Sutra, and then combine them into one with a unique operation method and turn them into your own use. This kind of practice of absorbing true qi is already appalling, and if you say that you use your fingers to suck blood, it is even more fantastical. ”
Pony paused for a moment, then continued, "Brother Wen is a very good doctor, and it makes sense to draw such a conclusion based on the deceased's injuries and the vision of the blood being drained from his body. In the absence of new clues and different conclusions, even if this inference is almost fantastical, we can only choose to believe it. ”
Di Ren choked with grief and said: "Up to now, even the murderer is a human or a ghost can't be determined, when will Di be able to stab the enemy and comfort the brothers in the spirit of the heavens......" Speaking of this, he also thought of all the dangerous encounters in the past few days, and the sworn brothers died in battle one after another, and I didn't feel that sorrow came from it, and the hero shed tears.
Although it is not clear who the murderer is at this time, there are many shops and houses around the Ezhou Branch, but the murderer can come and go freely, the goal is clear, and it does not cause chaos, and it is obvious that he took action after careful planning. So even if this thing is really done by evil monsters, there must be some manipulation behind it. ”
A cold wind blew, the fallen leaves on the ground rolled away, and the rustling sound was mixed in the wind, cutting through the coldness of the courtyard. A few windproof lamps glowed dimly in the night, adding a little warmth to Pony's handsome and resolute face.
The pony withdrew his gaze from the windproof lamp hanging high on the long street, and said slowly: "The murderer of the gold and silver all over the ground has not taken it away, and the dart game has always valued peace, so I guess I will not form a deep hatred with anyone." The murderer was not looking for money and revenge, but he killed more than 30 people in the dart game, and he was afraid that he would not be able to get rid of the mysterious organization that attacked us twice. ”
"Who is this group of people, for the sake of a little white jade wolf carving, they wantonly slaughtered my brothers in the Golden Lion Dart Bureau one after another. In the end, Di Ren's eyes were already red and full of righteous indignation.
Pony said thoughtfully, "Maybe we guessed wrong from the beginning, this group of mysterious people is not coming for the white jade wolf carving, their purpose is to destroy the entire Golden Lion Dart Game. ”
As soon as these words came out, it was tantamount to a thunderclap, not only did Di Ren freeze on the spot, but Murong Yuxin and the three of them were also shocked.
From being watched to being ambushed twice, everyone always thought that the mysterious people with fast actions and strong martial arts were aiming to capture the white jade wolf eagle, so that they fell into a predicament and were passive everywhere. This time the pony wakes up with a word, only to realize that things are far from simple.
If the real intention of this group of mysterious people is to destroy the entire Golden Lion Dart Game and then disintegrate the Dart Game Alliance, their ambitions and hidden forces behind the scenes are too terrifying.
Golden Lion Dart Bureau has been operating hard for more than 100 years, with semicolons all over the country, and Di Ren has developed into an industry leader after taking over. Over the years, he has worked hard to promote the alliance of the five major dart bureaus, and the merchants have a greater safety guarantee, and the circulation and trade of materials throughout the country have become more frequent. This is a blessing for the people, and it is also what the court is happy to see.
However, the establishment of the Dart Game Alliance made the Green Forest bandits, who had been living a happy life of eating and drinking spicy food, weighing gold and silver, unable to sit still. The alliance's dart board is interconnected, watching and helping each other, ensuring safety and reducing costs, and more business travelers choose dart board protection, and there will be fewer singles.
The league's darts were easy to move, and the lone ones had almost no oil and water. The Green Forest Gang, which is no longer at ease, naturally has a lot of resentment towards the five major dart games, especially Di Ren, who spared no effort to promote the dart game alliance.
Now the mastermind behind the scenes is bent on destroying the Golden Lion Dart Game and dismantling the Dart Game Alliance, once the conspiracy succeeds, as long as he raises his arms, the Green Forest Gang will naturally take the lead. If he takes the opportunity to stir up trouble, the world will definitely set off a bloody storm, and I don't know how many people will suffer.
These things and the stakes are just now figured out by the pony.
The tragedy of the Ezhou Branch made things even more cloudy, but because of the murderer's almost fantastical murder methods, Xiao Ma had an epiphany - only by jumping out of the usual thinking limitations can we get closer to the truth of the matter.
Suddenly there was the sound of rapid and dense footsteps in the empty long street, and the light of countless lanterns and torches fell on the walls of the street, and the light and shadow were crowded with people and weapons.
"Officers and soldiers are coming so quickly......" Pony said meaningfully, frowning as he looked at the projection of the armor spear on the wall across the long street.
The officers and soldiers who appeared as if out of thin air quickly surrounded the Ezhou Bureau, and the swords were cold and the swords were cold, and the swords were tense, and they could raze the dart bureau to the ground with just one order.
A strong man who looked like an officer crossed his waist with his left hand, held the sword at his waist with his right hand, and shouted outside the courtyard gate in a pinched tone: "Listen up, the people inside, I am the patrol of Ezhou City, immediately put down my weapon, tie my hands and arrest him, if you dare to resist stubbornly, you will be killed!"
Murong Yuxin looked at the pony and said, "Why did the people from the government chase after me so quickly, dozens of people from the Ezhou Branch were murdered, we just happened to appear here, I'm afraid it's going to be a mess again." ”
"The ones who should come will always come, and as long as we haven't fallen yet, they will come to the door. The pony said calmly, now that he was involved, he couldn't just get out of it. Once the dart game alliance collapses, it will be a devastating blow to all dart companies in the world, and the scope of the impact is immeasurable.
Shanyuan pestle the red flame stick and shouted: "If it weren't for the monk's wild words, only two or three hundred officers and soldiers would want to arrest me, but it is really beyond my strength, wait for me to kill the general, tear off the head of the guy surnamed Lei, and see how arrogant he is." ”
The pony shook his head and said, "If we want to force us to leave, they really can't stop us, but once we resist arrest and start a war, we will openly oppose the government, and the Golden Lion Dart Game will be in big trouble in the future." ”
"If you can't walk, and you can't fight, don't you really want to be caught? Shanyuan said angrily.
"Since he is from the government, it is easy to do, Di and Lei Fang's boss Hu Guangdu commander Huang Yizhou have some friendship. Master Shanyuan will be patient for the time being, and wait for Di to go out to negotiate with him, so that he will not embarrass us. After Di Ren finished speaking, he walked out of the courtyard.
"Chief dart, please stay! I'm afraid that there is something else going on in this matter, so don't go out rashly." Xiao Ma spoke out and dissuaded, "When we arrived at the Ezhou Branch for only one cup of tea, hundreds of officers and soldiers appeared in armor, don't you think it's a little strange for the head of the dart?"
Di Ren was slightly stunned, and said: "Brother Pony means that the officers and soldiers outside are related to that group of mysterious people? This is just a coincidence, maybe the government has already received a tip, and it just happened to arrive at this time." ”
"I hope it's a coincidence. It was so quiet tonight, and it stands to reason that hundreds of officers and soldiers were rushing here, and we should have noticed it, but how could we be besieged in the dart game?"
The pony paused for a moment and continued, "The officers and soldiers were able to appear suddenly, apparently they had already been ambushed nearby. Even if they are not in the same group as those mysterious people, there must be someone who secretly instigated them to come and arrest us, and I am afraid that it will be in vain to go to the head of the dart to negotiate. ”
Shanyuan shouted anxiously: "Since the surname Lei Na is willing to be at the mercy of thieves, it is not a pity to die, and we don't need to taboo so much, and rush out to kill him." ”
"Monks should not be reckless, regardless of whether the officers and soldiers are secretly colluding with that group of mysterious people, if we openly arrest and fight with the officers and soldiers, there will be no room for maneuver. Although the Golden Lion Dart Bureau has always been friendly with the imperial court, once there is a conflict, coupled with someone secretly fueling the flames and fanning the flames, the imperial court will inevitably investigate to the end and make an example. At that time, they can easily destroy the Golden Lion Dart Game and then disintegrate the Dart Game Alliance. ”
Pony sighed and continued, "The people behind the scenes are resourceful and thoughtful, stalking, ambushing, destroying doors, and framing us, driving us into a desperate situation step by step. If we want to survive in a desperate situation, we can only risk our lives and go to the inspection department with Lei Fang to see what kind of medicine they are selling in their gourds. ”
Murong Yuxin said: "Once you enter the Inspection Division, if you want to get out of the whole body, I'm afraid it's not so easy. If Lei Fang is in cahoots with the mastermind behind the scenes, and insists that these people were killed by us, how can we clear our suspicion in prison?"
"We've been attacked three times over the past few days, and we don't know anything about that mysterious group. They set up this game tonight in anticipation that we would not obediently tie our hands and start a bloody battle with the officers and men in order to get out, and whether we could get out or not, as long as we started the war, we would have lost completely.
"Now that we are willing to be restrained, the people behind the scenes will definitely use poison again, if the inspection department really colludes with them and wants to kill us, we will simply turn the inspection department upside down. Mr. Di, what do you think?"
Di Ren said proudly: "What Brother Pony said is very true, if you die, the inspection department is the Longtan Tiger's Den, and Di Mou will also go to it today."
