Chapter 19: Six Famous Catches

This is a small town on the outskirts of Chang'an City. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

There are at most two hours ahead of us, and we will arrive at Chang'an City. The town is simple and simple, and life is comfortable, but Murong Yixue's head hurts at this time.

He didn't feel a headache when he rushed from the flower-filled Jiangnan to this northern city on the bumpy road. But at this time, he was in a terrible pain, because no matter where he went, he could always see many 'old friends'.

Xie Ange and the others lived in the inn opposite him at this time, only a short street away. No matter where he settled down along the way, Xie Ange and the others would always settle down in the inn where he stayed.

He sometimes wonders if he is a Jiangyang thief who has been wanted for many years, and Xie Ange is a famous detective who has been aware of the six doors.

But Mu Changfeng thought that if Murong Yixue entered the six public gates, he would become a peerless celebrity in the world.

Along the way, Mu Changfeng couldn't help but ask, why do you have to come to this Chang'an City, what kind of roster is there, and does this roster have anything to do with the Demon Sect?

Murong Yixue's answer was that since Nalan Ziqing had already mentioned that the 'Green Lion' Long Duhe had learned his own swordsmanship, then he was the one who killed Sima Xuan, and even the wounds were consistent.

Since he wears this green lion mask all the year round and does not want to show his true face, there are only two possibilities.

First, he was born ugly, with a hideous face and a strong sense of self-esteem, so he didn't want people to see him.

Second, he was afraid that others would see his true identity, so he had to use this mask to cover it up, because his identity still has a big role.

The answer is naturally the second one, so there is no such thing as 'Long Duhe' in this world.

But there are many 'dragon cranes' in this world, as long as you wear that mask, anyone can be a dragon and a crane.

On the day of Sima Xuan's birthday banquet, 'Long Duhe' brought a birthday gift, mentioned his name on the roster, and killed Sima Xuan with an extremely careful plan.

This 'Long Duhe' must be an important and decent person in the rivers and lakes, otherwise why would he wear that hideous mask.

Therefore, the roster is very important, as long as the roster is found, you can find the 'Long Duhe', and if you catch the 'Long Duhe', you will naturally be able to know where the jade-faced Shura, the killer scholar, and the Demon Sect leader are, and you can also know their plans.

Mu Changfeng really felt that he was a genius, and he seemed to have no clue about the case, but he could already grasp the line that he couldn't see clearly.

So why Xie Ange has tracked them all the way to this point may have a good explanation, he doesn't want Murong Yixue to find 'Long Duhe', he is afraid that Murong Yixue will find out the secret of 'Long Duhe'.

Maybe 'Long Duhe' was instructed by him, or maybe he himself was 'Long Duhe'.

Thinking of this, Murong Yixue couldn't help laughing, he felt that his head didn't hurt anymore.

Anyone in Chang'an City, there is no one who does not know the six gates.

Anyone who knows the six doors, but none of them know the famous 'iron hand' Meng Qiye, who is known for his speed in solving cases.

In recent years, Meng Qi has solved dozens of major cases, not to mention dozens of major cases, he is not only thoughtful, calm and calm, but also a Shaolin martial arts practice of the Golden Bell Jar is even more perfect, although it has not reached the realm of cutting a white mark with a knife and stabbing a white spot, but it is undoubtedly a first-class master in martial arts.

His pair of iron sand palms have been eight or nine into the fire, enough to open the stele crack the stone, hit the stone into powder, so the people in the rivers and lakes called the "iron hand" Meng Qi. I don't know how many bandits, as long as they hear the name of the iron hand, they will be frightened, abandon the sword and flee.

Over the years, he has been in the limelight, and he is also a popular person in today's saints, whether it is black or white in the rivers and lakes, when he sees him, he always respectfully calls Meng Qiye.

He is only in his early thirties this year, but there are not many people worthy of his action, and there are not many cases worthy of him to judge personally, not to mention that he also has two satisfactory assistants, Qiu Wen Qiuwu. These two young men are the new blood that he carefully selected from the six doors and pulled them up by hand, they have grown up very quickly in recent years, and they are calm and reliable, and they really did not disappoint him.

But the case of Sima Mansion has been really tricky recently, it is already afternoon at this time, he is pacing in the wide courtyard as usual, this hour of the day is the time when people are most sleepy and tired, but Meng Qi does not want anyone to disturb him at this time, he always has to take a walk in this garden and think about something that he can't figure out.

Ordinary cases, he only needs to pace like this for an afternoon, and he will solve it easily, but Sima Xuan's case, he has been thinking about it for half a month, but he is still at a loss.

His face sank suddenly, for at this time someone had already entered the garden and stood bent over, he should not have come at this time, but looking at his appearance, it seemed that he had something important to say.

Meng Qi had previously instructed that at this hour of the day, he would not see any guests, and no matter who it was, he would wait at the door.

On the fifteenth of last month, the king of Jinan Mansion personally brought one hundred taels of gold and fifty pieces of silk and asked to see Meng Qiye. Who knew that he just snorted coldly, and instructed Qiu Wen to say that a prefect is so generous, I think it must be too greedy for gold and silver, and I am afraid that I will be caught and confiscated, so tell him that he is gone.

At the beginning of this month, Lord Luoyang Fang, Lord Liu came to ask for a meeting with ten boxes of gold and silver treasures, Meng Qi was furious, he was disgusted when he saw these dog officials, and asked Qiu Wu to bring Pu Dao and drive them all the way out of the city to calm his anger.

Meng Qi's expenses on weekdays are not large, although the annual salary in the public gate is not much, but it is enough for his family to live, but he is never moved to see gold and silver treasures, and he is also a rare honest and good official.

Meng Qi calmed his face at this time and said coldly: "Qiu Wen, have you forgotten what I said?"

Qiu Wen said respectfully: "The subordinates don't dare." ”

Meng Qi thought to himself, forgive you and don't dare, and asked again, "Who is here?"

Qiu Wen replied: "It's just a cloth cloth, not those prefects from the past, so my subordinates came to tell me." ”

Meng Qi was puzzled: "Oh, if he came to report to the official, he shouldn't come to my mansion, he should go to the yamen." His voice was noticeably softer, and his attitude towards the common people was even better than that of the dignitaries.

Qiu Wen said slowly: "It's the son brought from Jiang Nanyi, and the man seems to say what his name is Murong Yixue......

Meng Qi's eyes widened, kicked Qiu Wen to the ground, and said angrily: "You are really blind, you don't even know Murong Yixue, I have been promoting you in vain..."

Meng Qi walked quickly to the main hall, and saw a man in white standing at the door, immortal and elegant, he couldn't help but shout: "Brother Murong, is it really you here?"

When the man in white saw Meng Qi, he smiled and said, "Brother Qi, can you come in?" This man in white is naturally Murong Yixue.

Meng Qi patted Murong Yixue's shoulder excitedly and laughed: "Yes, it's really you who came, and you are finally willing to come to see Brother Qi." As he spoke, he burst into tears.

Meng Qi saw Mu Changfeng, and laughed loudly: "Even Xiaoxiang swordsmen have come to my Meng Laoqi's house, today is really a good day, a good day..."

When they arrived at the inner hall, they were seated. Meng Qi asked everyone else to retreat, and said with a smile: "Brother Murong came this time, but it was for the matter of Sima Mansion. ”

Murong Yixue smiled bitterly: "It seems that you can't hide anything from Seventh Brother. Meng Qi waved his hand and sighed lightly: "This matter is very important, and people outside the public should not know about it, but I won't tell you that I can't solve this case." Murong Yixue already understood what he meant, the murderer was a person who could take Sima Xuan's life with a single sword, and the height of this martial art was weird. Even if he knew who it was, Meng Qi was invincible.

Meng Qizheng said: "Brother Murong, if I think about it carefully, maybe only you can solve this Sima Mansion case." ”

Meng Qi's face became solemn, Murong Yixue and Mu Changfeng were listening, because they knew that what Meng Qi said next was the key to Sima Fu's case.

Meng Qi said slowly: "The guests who came to the birthday banquet of Sima Mansion that day were all recorded in that list. At this time, he looked at Mu Changfeng, and said, "Brother Mu knows about this, and the people on the roster also have you." ”

Mu Changfeng nodded, and Meng Qi sighed: "The roster is placed in the public gate, and it is heavily defended, and twenty-four high-level martial arts catchers are on duty in shifts, but on the second day of the case, this roster disappeared out of thin air." ”

Murong Yixue said in a condensed voice: "So this murderer must be the person on this list, and he undoubtedly admitted this by doing this." ”

Meng Qi's eyes seemed to light up: "The number of people on this roster is too complicated, in fact, even if we have it in hand, we have nowhere to find it, but I still have an extremely important clue, except for me, only my two closest assistants know." ”

Murong Yixue held his breath, he was listening.

Meng Qi said slowly: "Sima Xuan was killed in his secluded study, which is located in a remote location, and it can only be reached through three courtyards from the main hall, and this is also a place where there are no guards, because very few people know about it. ”

Murong Yixue frowned and said, "Even if this is the case, if someone gets around here from the main hall, no one will see it." But why did Sima Xuan come to this secluded study on his birthday?"

Meng Qi exclaimed: "Yes, this is also what I can't figure out. I thought maybe he had made an appointment with someone to discuss here, so he didn't want the guards in the palace to know. ”

Murong Yixue was silent, the guards here were weak, and the person who knew best was Sima Xuan, he obviously trusted the person he had made an appointment with, so he took away the guards outside the study, this person must be the murderer of Sima Xuan.

Meng Qi said again: "You must have thought of it, the murderer must be someone whom Sima Xuan trusts extremely much, so he will have a chance to succeed." That's why I said that the list didn't do much, and there was nothing to lose it for. ”

Mu Changfeng sighed secretly, originally they all thought that the murderer must be a person with extremely strong martial arts, so he would kill Sima Xuan in one move, but in this way, anyone on the roster could be the murderer, and he couldn't help but think of Xie Ange's weird smile.

Meng Qi suddenly smiled mysteriously: "But I still found a person, at the time of the crime, he had been hiding in Sima Xuan's study, this person is very important, I have asked my cronies to protect it tightly." ”
