Chapter III: Marking

"Not bad. Pen Fun Pavilion www.biquge.info"

Meng Yu pushed Hou Lingshan's knife over with his sword, and Hou Lingshan put away the knife.

Xiao Mengshi couldn't help but stand up and praised loudly: "Good kung fu!"

Meng Yu smiled: "Meng Yu is disturbed. ”

He put the knives back on the table one by one, and it was in a good order.

Meng Yu and Xiao Mengshi's fathers are both officials in Xiyuzhou, and they are both people who practice martial arts, and the two of them have met on many occasions in Xiyuzhou, and they have spoken more than once. It's just a well-known reason that Meng Dingguo and Xiao Zhengyi, a supervisor and a manager, compete in terms of identity. And although Xiao Zhengyi is still upright, he has been an official for many years and has a very strong official spirit. Usually, the family has that kind of official habits, and they can't get along with Meng Dingguo. And Xiao Mengshi calls himself a son of an official family, who is self-admiring and uninhibited. Meng Yu has been with his mother since he was a child, and has never intersected with the children of the official family, and later studied art in the Kusong monks of Huangshan Mountain, and lived a hard life. As a teenager, he experienced that his father was poisoned by the emperor and disappeared for two years, and he and his mother struggled to find their father. Therefore, the hardships and spiritual experiences of his youth gave him a maturity and restraint that his peers did not have, and he never interacted with the children of those pompous officials and eunuchs that he thought he thought, so Meng Yu and Xiao Mengshi did not have any friendship.

At this time, when he heard Xiao Mengshi's praise, Meng Yu knew that although Xiao Mengshi was a child of an official family, he was obsessed with swordsmanship to the point that he couldn't extricate himself, and this praise must have come from the heart.

Meng Yu also put the sword into the sheath, and the technique was generally beautiful and neat, and the people in the audience were also stunned.

Martial arts are the same, and everyone is also trying to see Meng Yu's methods, so he didn't make a move when he grabbed the sword.

After Meng Yu put away his sword, he gave a deep salute to everyone: "Meng Yu knows that today is an important day for all masters to know how to use knives, and the reason why they came to bother was because when Meng Yu was investigating the case, he encountered confusion, and it was related to knives. It's rare for all the masters to gather and want to come and ask for advice. ”

After speaking, he looked at Han Zhengjie.

Han Zhengjie was uncomfortable in his heart, and when he heard Meng Yu say this, he couldn't hold back any longer, and said angrily: "Meng Gongzi is going to investigate the case in front of the store?"

Meng Yu smiled: "Han Gang Master, the report is the report official, Meng Yu is dull, today is not only to investigate the case, but also, as I said just now, to provide a topic for today's knife." After all, the clues to this case can only be provided by the masters here. ”

Although Han Zhengjie was angry, he also knew that the emperor's cousin could not be offended. He took the wine glass and drank it all.

Xiao Mengshi stood up: "Meng Gongzi, presumably what you want to ask should be related to the edge of the knife used by the murderer, right?"

Meng Yu smiled: "Not bad." ”

After speaking, he took out a piece of cloth from his bosom, and saw that there was a large blood stain on it, and the blood stains had darkened. The cloth had apparently been removed from the garment he was wearing, but there was a cut in the middle with a sharp weapon.

Meng Yu said: "Offended." He threw the cloth on the table, and everyone couldn't help but look at it.

Hou Lingshan's shrill voice remembered again: "Meng Gongzi, this is wrong with your boss. This looks at the cloth, it's better to go directly to the people. Apparently the knife had already wounded the man. ”

Meng Yu smiled: "Actually, the knife first cuts the clothes, and then the people, right." Besides, I want to take you to the Criminal Department to see the dead bodies, doesn't it affect your interest in attending the banquet too much? ”

He suddenly turned to Xiao Mengshi: "Young Master Xiao, Meng Yu asks for advice, what kind of vision do you have when you look at this knife edge?"

Meng Yu knew that although he had no friendship with Xiao Mengshi, Xiao Mengshi would be bright when he mentioned the word knife, as long as he gave him the knife edge, he would definitely not be able to refuse to find out.

Sure enough, Xiao Mengshi picked up the piece of cloth and examined it carefully, Fang raised his head and said slowly to Meng Yu: "Wuji Knife." ”

As soon as he finished speaking, Sun Feng's face had changed, but Xiao Mengshi turned the cloth to the other side: "Of course, it's just the Wuji Knife Technique used, not necessarily under the Wuji Knife Sect." ”

After that, he glanced at Sun Feng as if he had inadvertently, Sun Feng's face softened slightly, and he didn't speak.

Guo Shichao, who had not spoken, suddenly put down his wine glass, slowly stood up, and arched his hand: "Meng Gongzi, I asked!"

Meng Yu looked at this young man who seemed to be only seventeen or eighteen years old and had been silent with some surprise: "Guo Gongzi has something to say, please speak." ”

Meng Yu has the name of a detective, and he has already made the identity characteristics of the eight people in the house clear.

Guo Shichao said: "Meng Gongzi is here, have you already determined that the person who made this knife is among us?"

Meng Yu smiled faintly: "Until the end, Meng Yu never said which one. However, everyone is suspicious, and everyone should not be suspicious. Meng Yu came here to ask for advice sincerely, and he didn't dare to target anyone. ”

Before Guo Shichao could speak, Hou Lingshan suddenly jumped up: "Meng Gongzi is too polite to speak! Hou Ye, I will say a word, can you use this sword technique and the eight of us here?"

He walked in front of Xiao Mengshi: "Xiao Gongzi, you know how to sword today, you must be inviting all the top masters of swords in Beijing." Excuse me, with your Xiao Gongzi's ability, will you miss anything?"

Xiao Mengshi nodded and said, "Master Hou, although Xiao is not talented, he has indeed made careful preparations in advance for this meeting. If anyone misses it, it will also be a matter of Xiao losing face. ”

Hou Lingshan turned to Guo Shichao and said, "Silly boy, I understand." You think you've asked Meng Gongzi, but you don't know that it's Xiao Mengshi who is having a treat today, how could he miss any sword master?"

Guo Shichao was speechless for a while. He is a smart young man, but he has little experience, and he only proceeds from common sense, but he underestimates that those who know how to knife today are the top masters, and he is incomparable with the usual situation. If Xiao Mengshi misses any sword master in Beijing, not only will he offend the master who was not invited, but Xiao Mengshi's face will also be completely lost.

Hou Lingshan said: "Since up to today, only Brother Sun has appeared under the Wuji Knife Gate in the capital, and it is unfortunate," Speaking of this, he laughed sharply twice, which was particularly harsh in the silence: "The younger brother came to Beijing and happened to live in Brother Sun's mansion, and in the early hours of the morning, the younger brother got up to learn sword skills with Brother Sun." He laughed twice: "And except for Brother Guan, I haven't heard that there is a person in the capital under the Wuji Sword Sect." Then this knife edge must be a trick used by other masters to conceal their own knife skills. ”

Meng Yu glanced up at Sun Feng and arched his hand: "Brother Sun, may I ask if this knife edge is used by the Wuji Knife Sect?"

Sun Feng never picked up the piece of cloth, in fact, he only glanced at it, and at this time he replied lightly: "This hand knife is completely indistinguishable from the master of the Wuji Knife, and I can't conclude that this is not from the Wuji Knife Sect." ”

Everyone sighed, and they didn't dare to draw conclusions easily.

Hou Ling jumped back to the table like a monkey and jumped on the stool to squat. He looked extremely funny, but the stakes were high, and no one laughed this time.

Meng Yu looked at Xiao Mengshi.

Xiao Mengshi, who has always been arrogant and uninhibited, seemed to be a little unnatural when he was looked at by Meng Yu.

He looked at the cloth again: "This Wuji knife is only quasi-first-class. Therefore, it must be a first-class master who makes the knife, but if it is temporarily replaced by the Wuji knife method, it can only be quasi-first-class. In addition, "

He looked at it again: "When the knife is shot, it doesn't seem to be very handy. Because I can't tell if it's from left to right or right to left, maybe this person is hiding which hand is using the knife. ”

He put down the cloth: "Meng Gongzi, I'm sorry, I can only see so much." ”

Sun Feng slowly picked up the piece of cloth at this time: "It's the left-handed knife, if the right-hand knife is under the Wuji knife, I can see it at a glance." This person obviously wants to hide it, but he can't be sure whether it is under the Infinite Knife Sect. ”

Meng Yu looked at Sun Feng approvingly: "Thank you Sun Daxia." ”

He smiled slightly, took out another piece of paper the size of his thumb, and put it in the palm of his hand: "Then trouble Xiao Gongzi again, this is in the hands of the person who was killed, can you see the calendar?"

Xiao Mengshi glanced at Meng Yu's hand and gasped.

He looked up at Meng Yu: "If I'm not mistaken, this is a gang in Beiyan." The people of this gang are composed of clans that live in a remote place in Beiyan. Very wild and fierce. Odd. ”

Hou Lingshan couldn't help it again: "Young Master Xiao, what's so strange?"

Xiao Mengshi said: "This gang is also a remote and wild place in Beiyan, and it should rarely go out of the border of Beiyan, let alone commit crimes in the capital." ”

He asked Meng Yu again: "Where did Meng Gongzi get it from?"

Meng Yu said: "The person who was killed held this piece of paper in his hand and gave it to me before he died." ”

Xiao Mengshi picked up the piece of paper from Meng Yu's hand: "The back half of this arrow has been torn off, it should be two crossed scimitars." ”

After speaking, he reluctantly put the piece of paper back in Meng Yu's hand: "It's a knife again, it seems that our brothers upstairs are really fortunate to have nothing to do with this case today!"

Meng Yu put away the piece of paper: "Xiao Gongzi, don't say that, everything is still unknown, and I can't make any judgment now." ”

Meng Yu picked up the sword and said to everyone: "Meng Yu thanked you!"
