True and False Su Chuan Volume 22 Inexplicable Murder
Su Zhuo and Ma Pingchuan glanced at each other, and they both saw a hint of suspicion in each other's eyes. The banquet in Xiyue Tower www.biquge.info had only ended for an hour, how could there be a sudden murder case? Su Zhuo faintly felt that something was wrong, and frowned and pondered.
Fang Baishi said strangely: "What's wrong with Mr. Su......?
He didn't know Ma Pingchuan, so Su Zhuo introduced the two. Fang Baishi said with a smile: "It turned out to be the owner of the Ma Pavilion, disrespectful and disrespectful!Mr. Su, I want to go to your territory to investigate the case, won't you lead me there?"
He knew that Su Zhuo was very keen on this kind of thing, and he would definitely not refuse. However, Su Zhuo suddenly thought that if he returned to Xiyue Tower with him and ran into the fake Su Zhuo head-on, he was afraid that he would invite a vicious battle. With only these few subordinates brought by Fang Baishi, they were naturally not the opponents of that group.
Su Zhuo had to smile and said, "Fang Zhutou, I still have important things, I can only apologize!"
Fang Baishi was stunned for a moment, and said with a smile: "Okay, okay, then say goodbye!" As he spoke, he turned around and walked towards Xiyue Tower, but he felt very strange in his heart, why did Su Zhuo suddenly lose interest in the murder?
As soon as Fang Baishi walked away, Su Zhuo turned to Ma Pingchuan and whispered a few words. Ma Pingchuan nodded, and according to his arrangement, he walked towards the city. And Su Zhuo walked into the alley, and quietly followed Fang Baishi.
Xiyue Lou suddenly had a murder case, and it was natural to be able to contact the fake Su Zhuo. Such a thing, how could Su Zhuo not take a look?
Approaching Xiyue Tower, Su Zhuo lowered the hat to ensure that no one would see his face, and then he mixed in with the crowd and unknowingly blended into Xiyue Tower.
The location of the murder was in the guest room in the backyard. There were already many onlookers in the courtyard, most of them were martial arts people who had participated in the banquet and came back. Many people stood at the door of a room, pointing, but no one dared to go in for fear of getting into trouble.
Fang Baishi entered the inn, and he didn't meet that fake Su Zhuo along the way. This made Zhen Su Zhuo, who followed behind, couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. The crowd quickly parted and entered the house. Su Zhuo squeezed at the door, and saw two corpses lying on the floor of the room from a distance.
Near the door was a young man, who looked strange, and I don't know who it was. But the one inside is unknown to everyone. I saw that his beard was white, sixty or seventy years old, and he was actually the old man Xu Xiangxu!
Su Zhuo almost exclaimed, just an hour ago, Xu Xiang was still drinking with everyone in the front hall. Judging from the time, could it be that as soon as the banquet was dispersed, Xu Xiang was poisoned? Who was so desperate to kill such an old man?
I heard Fang Baishi call a shopkeeper and asked, "Who found the body?"
As soon as the little two saw the official errand, their legs trembled unconsciously. He said in a trembling voice: "Report to the master, yes...... It was the villain who found ......"
Fang Baishi said in a deep voice, "How did you find out?"
The shopkeeper said: "At noon today, after the banquet is dispersed." The small one brought water to Mr. Xu to wash his face as usual. Who knew that after a few knocks, Old Man Xu didn't agree. When I pushed the door, I found that it seemed to be bolted from the inside, and I couldn't push it open......"
Fang Baishi frowned and asked, "What happened later?"
The shopkeeper said: "Since this door is closed from the house, of course Old Man Xu is in the room." So the villain shouted a few times, but still no one answered. So the little one slammed the door open with all his might, and saw the scene...... The villain was frightened and hurriedly ran out to call someone......"
Fang Baishi nodded, pondered for a moment, pointed to the corpse of the young man on the ground, and asked, "Is this person also a guest in your shop?"
The shopkeeper shook his head, looked dazed, and said, "I've never seen this person before...... However, there are a lot of guests who came at noon today, maybe they came to Mr. Su's banquet......"
Fang Baishi nodded, and walked to the only window in the room to take a look. Su Zhuo saw that he stretched out his hand and pushed, and the window opened in response to his hand, and it was not locked. Fang Baishi stuck his head out of the window and looked around. Then he returned to the center of the room, paced back and forth for two steps, and said to himself, "It seems that the murderer locked the door and escaped through the window after killing someone!"
Suddenly, someone shouted: "Lord Catcher, I think this matter must be the poisonous hand of the people of the Four Seas Alliance!"
Fang Baishi looked up at the person who spoke, smiled on his face, seemed to be very interested, and asked, "Why did Brother Tai say this?"
The man said, "My lord forgives me, I'm just guessing." Can you let me go up and take a closer look, maybe I'll be sure!"
Everyone looked at him dressed in green shirts and short clothes, as if he was a Jianghu guest. Fang Baishi's subordinates shouted quickly: "Bold! This is the scene of the murder, how can you be allowed to come and go at will?"
Fang Baishi waved his hand and said with a smile: "It's okay!
The man stepped into the threshold with his feet raised and walked straight to Xu Xiang's corpse. He suddenly stretched out his hand to untie Xu Xiang's clothes, and saw that there was a red palm print on the chest of the corpse!
Everyone let out an exclamation, and even Fang Baishi couldn't help but raise his brows slightly, looking very surprised. Su Zhuo saw it from a distance, and said in his heart, no wonder there was no blood in this room at all, it turned out that this palm was a fatal injury!
It's just that who can kill the alliance leader of the seventeen prefectures and fourteen prefectures with a single palm? Although Xu Xiang is old, he has not heard of him doing anything with anyone in recent years. But as the saying goes, the sword is not old, and the old should be strong. If someone can beat Xu Xiang to death with one palm, this person's martial arts are really unfathomable!
The man in the green shirt seemed to breathe a sigh of relief, got up and said, "My lord, I really didn't guess wrong!"
Fang Baishi's face was heavy and he asked, "Oh?
The man in the green shirt arched his hand and said: "I saw that Old Man Xu's face was flushed below, and I had a guess." Now that I see this palm print on my chest, I am even more certain! I don't know if you have ever heard of a kung fu called the Golden Crow Palm!"
"Golden Crow Palm?" everyone discussed, some were puzzled, and some exclaimed.
Fang Baishi frowned and said, "Isn't the Golden Crow Palm the unique martial arts of Chang'an Savage Ming Qiankun?"
The man in the green shirt arched his hand and said: "My lord really has seen and heard a lot! The golden crow palm is indeed the housekeeping skill of the old Ming seniors!"
"Could it be that this Ming Qiankun killed Old Man Xu?" someone asked.
The man in green shirt shook his head and said, "As far as I know, when the alliance leader of the seven northern states was selected, it was the old man Ming who competed with the old man Xu. Later, the old man Ming lost half a move to Old Man Xu, which made Old Man Xu sit on the position of the leader of the alliance!"
Others clamored: "It turns out that this surnamed Ming has come to take revenge!"
Fang Baishi suddenly said: "Impossible! Since that defeat, Ming Qiankun has been disheartened, living in seclusion in Chang'an, calling himself a savage, and not asking about the world. Now that he is in his seventies, where does he have the heart to take revenge?"
The man in the green shirt nodded and said, "Yes, it will never be the Ming seniors who killed people! Because the Ming seniors passed away last year!"
"Ah! Could it be that Ming Qiankun's disciples have come to avenge the master?"
Fang Baishi shook his head slowly: "Ming Qiankun has no heirs at all!"
The man in the green shirt suddenly smiled: "Everyone in the world thinks that the old Ming predecessors have no heirs, and the golden crow palm is lost." But I knew that the skills of the old Ming seniors were not lost, but passed on to a young man. This person is Warburg Pincus!" )
