Chapter 15: Suspicion Emerges
Xiong Yu was startled by the sudden sound, and he quickly turned around to see a dirty man waving at him, motioning for him to come over.
Xiong Yu walked over suspiciously and asked, "You were sent by Yin Wanxue to pick me up?"
The man nodded, and told Xiong Yu that this was not the place to talk, so he took Xiong Yu to a private house.
Xiong Yu entered the house and asked, "Why are you dressed like this?" ”
The man entered the room and sighed before saying, "Master Xiong doesn't know anything, you listen to me slowly." ”
It is said that this Huangfeng Town has become like this in the past seven days, just seven days ago, this Huangfeng Town suddenly came to a person with a black cloth on his face, and he estimated that he was looking for something, and he had no clue after looking for a few days, so he asked the people in the town, and more than a dozen families did not cooperate with him, and as a result, all the people in these dozen families died that night.
However, there is a family whose cook pretended to be dead and escaped a catastrophe, and drew a portrait of that person from memory, I have seen the portrait, and the painting is Hong Leshan, so now every family in the town is now afraid to prevent strangers from entering the town, and I only found out about these a few days ago, so I put on makeup like this, so as not to arouse the suspicion of others.
After hearing this, Xiong Yu nodded and asked, "Do you know what Hong Leshan is looking for?"
The man shook his head and said, "I don't know about this, the man disappeared the next day after the murder, I guess he shouldn't have found what he wanted, and he should come back in a few days." ”
Xiong Yu sighed, and suddenly stared at the man: "You have only been here for a few days, how do you know so much, how do you know that Hong Leshan will come back?"
The man was stared at by Xiong Yu for a moment, and then he avoided Xiong Yu's aggressive gaze intentionally or unintentionally and said: "The villain also guessed, if the master is fine, I will retreat first." ”
Xiong Yu nodded, and the man trotted away.
Xiong Yu always felt that something was wrong, but he couldn't say it, so he lay on the bed and thought about it, but he didn't come up with anything, and the three days of running around made him feel tired, and he fell asleep in a daze.
Until the knock on the door Xiong Yu woke up, Xiong Yu opened the door and saw that it was already night, and the man was here to deliver food.
The man entered the house and put the food on the table, and then asked Xiong Yu if he needed anything, although he told him that he would do his best.
Xiong Yu first asked, "What's your name, I'll be able to greet you in the future." ”
The man paused for a moment and said, "The villain doesn't have a name, if Master Xiong insists, call me Ma Er." ”
Xiong Yu said hello and said, "Ma Er, tomorrow you can find me a token for the government to handle the case, I will use it." ”
The man wondered, "What's the use of asking for this?"
Xiong Yu suddenly drank: "Did Yin Wanxue ask you to ask me questions?"
Ma Er was taken aback, and immediately said that he didn't dare, and promised that Xiong Yu would definitely send it as soon as possible tomorrow.
Xiong Yu got up and patted Ma Er's shoulder and said, "Is it Hong Leshan, as soon as you come to this town, you will get the news." ”
Ma Er's neck shrunk and said with a smile: "How can the villain have that strength, it is the Lord of Yin Gu who secretly sent a few people to monitor this town, as soon as Hong Leshan appears, those spies in the dark will tell me." ”
Xiong Yu snorted and said: "I didn't expect Lord Yin Gu to be really thoughtful, but since I took this task, I don't need them to help secretly, you let them go back, I will explain to him when I go back." ”
Ma Er smiled awkwardly, and said with embarrassment on his face: "In this way, I'm afraid it's not good to be like this." ”
Xiong Yu looked at Ma Er, and suddenly smiled: "That's good to say, then you come to kill Hong Leshan, and I'll go back." ”
As he spoke, he was about to get up and leave, Ma Er hurriedly stopped in front of Xiong Yu and said, "Master is angry, I'll do it." ”
Xiong Yu showed a satisfied expression at this time, and waved his hand to signal Ma Er to step back.
After Ma Er left, Xiong Yu took out the portrait of Hong Leshan from his arms, looked at the portrait blankly and fell into contemplation.
The next day, Ma Er got Xiong Yu a token from the government, and said that this token was obtained overnight by a friend, how difficult it was.
Xiong Yu took out a silver ticket of one hundred taels from his arms, and Ma Er left satisfied.
Hong Leshan had not yet appeared in Huangfeng Town, but Xiong Yu had a question to answer in his heart, so he came to the only inn in Huangfeng Town.
This is not what a killer should do, a killer should not have doubts, what a killer should do is to collect money to do things, but Xiong Yu is not like this.
When a killer has questions about the tasks assigned by the organization, he is no longer a good killer.
Xiao Er of the inn was reluctant to let Xiong Yu in, but after Xiong Yu showed his token and said that he was sent by the government, Xiao Er took Xiong Yu to a quiet inn wing.
After a while, the innkeeper came at a trot.
Xiong Yu asked simply and clearly, "I'm here for the murder here." ”
The innkeeper nodded and said that he already knew Xiong Yu's intentions.
Xiong Yu then asked, "Do you know who the murderer is?"
The innkeeper thought for a while and said: "I heard that Hong Leshan, one of the three gentlemen, I didn't expect Hong Leshan to be such a person, it is rumored that he is chivalrous and courageous, and this rumor really can't be done." ”
Xiong Yu frowned and said, "Who are you listening to?"
The innkeeper said: "I heard the surviving cook say, the cook was originally cooking in a big restaurant in the capital, and I was fortunate to see Hong Leshan, and then he committed an accident in the capital and ran to Huangfeng Town, but he was really unlucky when he encountered such a thing, but he said that he saw the characteristics of the perpetrator that night, so he thought it was Hong Leshan." ”
"Where is the cook now?" asked Xiong Yu.
The innkeeper called the shopkeeper and asked the shopkeeper to take Xiong Yu to the cook.
The shopkeeper took Xiong Yu to an alley, pointed to a gate on the left and said, "He lives here." ”
After saying that, the shopkeeper left.
Xiong Yu pushed open the door and walked in, there was only one house in this place, and when he opened the door, it was empty, Xiong Yu was secretly thinking that the cook might be going out and was about to go out, but he was bumping into the cook who came back from the door.
As soon as the cook saw that Xiong Yu was about to run away, Xiong Yu grabbed the cook's back collar and carried him into the house.
The cook looked at Xiong Yu in horror and shouted, "Help, don't kill me, help, someone is going to kill someone." ”
Xiong Yu immediately showed the token on his body and explained that he was from the government, and the cook calmed down.
The cook immediately looked at Xiong Yu like a savior and said, "Master Guan, you have to protect me from being killed by Hong Leshan." ”
Xiong Yu nodded and said, "Don't worry, I'm here to ask you a few things." ”
The cook immediately said that he would tell Xiong Yu everything he knew.
Xiong Yu took out a portrait from his arms and asked, "Is he the one who committed the murder that day?" ”
Before Xiong Yu could unfold the portrait, the cook immediately nodded and said, "It's him, it's him." ”
Xiong Yu frowned and said, "You take it and take a closer look." As he spoke, he handed the portrait to the cook.
The cook picked up the portrait and carefully measured it and said, "No, this person doesn't have a mole in the corner of his left eye, it's not Hong Leshan." ”
Xiong Yu looked at the cook and smiled.
The cook was puzzled: "I don't know what the official master is laughing at." ”
Xiong Yu said slowly: "That man committed murder at night covered with a black cloth, you only have a relationship with him, you can see the mole in the corner of his eye when he kills people at night to identify him, your eyesight is so good." ”
The man's face was shocked, and he immediately knelt down and said: "I saw it by the moonlight, the situation was urgent, and I only wanted to remember the appearance of the murderer. ”
Xiong Yu helped the cook up and said: "I didn't doubt you, but you have to pay attention to evidence in handling the case, and now that the evidence is available, I can arrest him, it's okay, I'm leaving." ”
As he spoke, he left, and the cook who stayed left was full of big men, and the cook went out and saw that Xiong Yu was really gone, so he let out a heavy sigh.
Xiong Yu came out of the cook's house and immediately returned to his residence, he lay on the bed thinking about the problem, thought about it and looked at the door, as if waiting for something.
After a while, someone really spoke outside the door, and it was Ma Er's voice: "Master Xiong, are you there?" ”
Xiong Yu said loudly in the room: "It's Ma Er, come in and talk." ”
Ma Er pushed the door in a panic and said to Xiong Yu: "Master Xiong, I got accurate news, in three days, that Hong Leshan will arrive in Huangfeng Town, you have to be prepared, and when he is just tired, kill him with a sword." ”
Xiong Yu stretched out his hand and beckoned Ma Er to his side and said, "Ma Er, get me a table of good wine and food first, and I'll fill my stomach first." ”
Ma Er immediately said: "What Master Xiong explained, I will definitely do it." ”
After saying that, Ma Er went to prepare, and Xiong Yu smiled meaningfully at Ma Er's back.
