Age of Heroes, ten consecutive guarantees

In the center of the lotus pond, in front of the Medical Saint Pavilion.

Everyone is here.

But no one dares to enter rashly.

Because a figure stood in front of the pavilion in the center of the lotus pond with his back to everyone.

The other person was wearing a somewhat worn-out outfit, looking unkempt, with a few strands of white on his hair, alternating between white and gray.

If this were a TV series, there would definitely be a subtitle floating by.

——Medical Saint, Hou Moliu Ming.

"Your Excellency the Medical Saint, we..."

Yang Zheng spoke first, wanting to say something to ease the serious atmosphere at the moment.

"Shut up!!!"

With a shout of anger, accompanied by the sound of wind and thunder, the bells in the pavilion rang together, and the ding-dong sound did not seem crisp but rather very dull.

"I, Hou Mo Liuming, have killed countless people in my life, but I never thought that in my old age, I would see the body of my daughter in my own home!"

"And the murderer is among the patients I am about to treat!"

"It is really... pathetic, lamentable and ridiculous!"

Hou Mo Liuming's questioning echoed from all directions, and everyone seemed to be in a valley.

Yang Zheng resisted the pressure of the angry shout and clasped his fists and said: "This is not the result we are willing to see. The murderer is hateful, but I hope the medical saint can control his emotions and not vent his anger on innocent people!"

"Violate anger? The kid just said it himself, the murderer is among you! Or, you are all accomplices!" Hou Mo Liuming snorted angrily.

"How can you be so arbitrary!" Jin Fugui shouted in injustice: "Maybe there is a murderer, but most of us are innocent!"

The leader of the spear clasped his fists and said: "The Medical Saint cured my niece yesterday. I am grateful to him. How could I kill Miss Hou Molan?"

"Are you all wronged?" Hou Moliu Ming stood with his hands behind his back facing the crowd, and his fists were clenched behind his back: "But the most wronged is my daughter who died for no reason!"

"I know that the Medical Saint is sad. It is a tragedy for the old to send the young to their deaths." The Ninth Princess took the initiative to comfort her and said: "I can make a solemn promise, We must bring the murderer to justice and give Miss Hou Molan justice!"

"This matter involves the blood-stained clothes case, and it may also be a revenge for the medical saint's rescue. Miss Lan's death is really strange and there are many doubts. Please give us some time to find out the truth!"

The medical saint was silent for two seconds, and his voice became more questioning: "Are you really going to find out?"

"Definitely!" The Ninth Princess made a promise: "I swear in the name of the royal princess!"

"Okay!" Hou Moliu promised: "I believe in your oath."

However, before others showed their happy expressions.

The next sentence of the medical saint made everyone change color again.

"However, before the truth is found out, you are not allowed to leave Baicao Valley!"

"I have opened the Huzhongtian formation set up by Wu Jue Weng himself. No matter if you want to break in or leave secretly, you will be confused by the formation. At the same time, there are many poisonous insects and poisonous plants raised outside Baicao Valley, and the fog is even more poisonous..."

"Unless I close this formation, you can't get out now."

Everyone's face changed drastically when they heard it.

The gun leader was stunned and immediately said: "The medical saint is trying to trap us here!"

"If you can't find the real murderer who killed my daughter, then you can only stay here!" Hou Moliuming's voice was filled with cold anger, both calm and crazy: "I give you seven days. If you can't hand over the murderer within seven days, the poisonous fog will spread to the entire Baicao Valley. Even if you are canonized, you will lose a layer of skin even if you don't die! As for those who are not canonized, don't expect to leave alive!"

Hearing this.

Huang Qiyun's eyes changed. Is this going to burn jade and stone together? !

If the murderer cannot be found, all the people will be left behind to be buried with him?

What kind of medical saint is this? A crazy saint, right?

However, after hearing this, the first ones to get angry were not the Ninth Princess and Yang Zheng, or rather, it was the Ninth Princess who stopped the furious Yang Diao Si.

The one who completely exploded was Jin Fugui, who cursed: "You are so good, Hou Mo Liuming! Are you going to kill people to silence them!"

"For three years, I have spent all my family wealth to ask you to treat my illness, and I have treated you with great courtesy. I have spent no less than ten thousand taels of gold alone!"

"I didn't satisfy what you wanted, but you still can't cure my illness! You even want to trap me to death here!"

Jin Fugui was heartbroken and angry.

Originally, he had no hope in the medical saint's medical skills. His patience for three years had run out. This time, he maintained a friendly attitude but it was just a disguise. Now his mentality exploded and he completely tore his face off.

Hou Moliu Ming said coldly: "I told you three years ago that your illness may not be cured! You hurt your roots in a martial arts competition a few years ago. Who can you blame for not having an heir!"

"You are talking nonsense!"

Jin Fugui turned into a tiger king, pointed at the medical saint and cursed: "You only saw me once fifteen years ago! Let me consolidate my foundation for ten years and then go to you for a follow-up visit. By then, the medicine will be cured! But ten years later, your medical skills have declined and you can't cure my illness, but you still lied to me for three years!"

"You old thing, where is the medical ethics and benevolence of a doctor! You are clearly a wolf-hearted person who takes human life lightly and is worse than pigs and dogs!"

"Shut up!" The medical saint shouted angrily: "No matter what you think, it has nothing to do with me. I only want the murderer! Bring the murderer to me within seven days, otherwise... all of them will be buried with my daughter!"

Atmosphere tension +50

At this moment, a light voice sounded.

"Why does it take seven days?"

"It only takes three days."

The young man walked out of the crowd with slow steps and a calm posture. His confident attitude even made people subconsciously ignore the arrogant words in his mouth.

Even if Hou Mo left his name, he was a little horrified after hearing this.

"Are you crazy?" Yang Diao Si said angrily.

"I'm very conscious." Bai Yu said calmly: "If the case cannot be solved within three days, I will come to see you."

"This is what you said!" The Medical Saint confirmed this sentence: "If you can't do it, your head will be hung on the gate of Baicao Villa!"

"But if I can solve the case within three days..." Bai Yu continued: "In these three days, please stay in the pavilion and don't go out."

"You don't need to say anything!"

Hou Mo Liuming suddenly waved his sleeves, and there seemed to be wind and thunder hidden in the sleeves. The bells rang loudly, and he walked towards the pavilion. At the same time, a figure wearing a raincoat and a bamboo hat stood on the only road leading to the pavilion.

He stood with his hands together, holding an oar, and his raised face was covered with a bronze mask, with the word "Gongshu" engraved in ancient seal script on the mask.

"The Semi-Saint Puppet of the Gongshu Family!" Yang Zheng recognized it at a glance: "This is an ancestral possession of the Gongshu Family. It is rumored that there are less than nine of them, and they were passed down from the Spring and Autumn Period. One of them will remain in the hands of the Medical Saint."

"It is rumored that this half-saint puppet is powerful enough to compete with a Martial Saint. If damage is not taken into account, it can even kill a Martial Saint one on one!"

"It's just that he is only one person." Jin Fugui said: "What if we take action together to control this puppet, and then control the medical saint?"

"No." The Ninth Princess directly objected: "I will never allow you to harm the Medical Saint!"

Yang Zheng said calmly: "Shopkeeper Jin may be a little tired."

Jin Fugui glanced at the noble princess and reacted at this time. He saluted and said, "I made a mistake. I was so angry that I said some nonsense."

Yang Zheng said calmly: "Shopkeeper Jin may be a little tired."

Huang Qiyun watched coldly from the side, thinking to himself that this group of people seemed to be inseparable from each other.

Everyone has their own purposes and ideas.

The Ninth Princess didn't want to be rough with the Medical Saint, not because she was kind, nor because she really wanted to know who the murderer was, but because her blood poisoning needed treatment, and the only one who could cure her was Hou Mo leaving his name... Once If coercive measures are taken against him, the medical saint will no longer treat her, and she will die by then.

Yang Zheng also knew this, so he always maintained a restrained attitude towards the medical saint.

Jin Fugui wanted to take revenge on the Medical Saint, but he did not dare to do so because the Ninth Princess had a distinguished status and Yang Diao Si could kill her with a slap.

As for the gun leader's stance, he acted very calmly.

Although he is here to treat internal injuries, internal injuries can also heal slowly on their own.

The biggest problem at the moment is that the Medical Saint refuses to let him go, which puts him in a dilemma... If the critical moment comes, his position may change. Will he choose to control the Medical Saint, or nothing else? ...But for now, he still supports Bai Yu in finding the murderer.

"Young Master, I would like to confirm again." Ninth Princess walked to Bai Yu and even held his hand anxiously: "Can you really find out who the real murderer is within three days?"

"It didn't happen before, but now... I'm at least 70% sure." Bai Yu replied.

"Do you already know who the murderer is?"

"It's useless to just know, you also need evidence... Guessing is just guessing, intuition is intuition." Bai Yu said very mysteriously: "Besides, there are some key points that I haven't figured out yet."

"As long as you are sure." Ninth Princess looked at him seriously: "My life is now in your hands!"

"Next, no matter what you do, I will support you wholeheartedly!"

"I must find the murderer!"

She gritted her teeth, and her eyes revealed the pressure of a high-ranking person.

"I wish I could cut him into pieces!!"

…

Returned to the other courtyard.

Bai Yu felt a little hungry, so he asked the cook to continue cooking in the kitchen.

Everyone else was told to stay together and supervise each other.

At the same time, he took a few brave ones with him to do the autopsy.

Bai Yu doesn't really understand things like autopsies, but he is a modern person after all. He has watched a lot of criminal investigation dramas, so he still understands some fragmentary knowledge.

It's a pity that I don't have any tape, otherwise I could try to extract some fingerprints from the corpse.

"What are you looking for?" the gun leader asked, noticing Bai Yu checking various parts of the body.

"evidence."

"Don't look for it. The victims in the Blood Suit Case often died violently, leaving no clues at all." Wu Qiankui whispered: "The death situation is exactly the same as that of my sister. I also tried to find the murderer, but..."

"In the eyes of you, a relative of the victim, is this body standard?" Bai Yu raised his head and asked.

"standard?"

"I mean, in your opinion, is it a copycat crime?" Bai Yu asked: "After all, the Bloody Suit Case is a murder case that is well-known to everyone in the world, and the real culprit has not been found so far. His methods have long been spread, so Could this be a copycat?"

Wu Qiankui pondered for a moment, lost in thought and memories.

In his eyes, this corpse was too similar to the one he saw back then.

He concluded: "It feels almost exactly the same to me."

"So, you think it's not the imitator, but the murderer himself in the bloody suit case." Bai Yu confirmed again: "Really?"

The gun leader's eyes flickered: "I'm not sure."

"I thought you would be ecstatic." Bai Yu said with two minds: "I finally found clues to the murderer, and the other party is still trapped in Baicao Valley. Shouldn't you be happy?"

"I'm not sure." Wu Qiankui sighed: "It always feels a little unreal. After all, the bloody suit case has reappeared in the world after so many years, but it happened to be among a group of us... With all due respect, I People’s intuition is very accurate, but they don’t think there is a murderer in this other courtyard.”

"intuition?"

"I am a warrior, so I naturally trust my instincts." The gun leader changed his words: "So what did you see?"

"Something can be seen." Bai Yu finished the simple autopsy: "From the observation results, the deceased died of beheading."

"Isn't that obvious?"

"But judging from the cross-section of the wound, she did not die from decapitation."

"What do you mean?" the gun leader asked.

"The wounds on her body showed inconsistent characteristics."

Bai Yu casually pointed to a wound on his body and said: "If the head is chopped off while it is alive, the wound will have an active reaction, just like the wound on the wrist, the skin and flesh will shrink and the wound will evert. The blood color is brighter, purple-red, and there is an inflammatory reaction.”

"But here..." He pointed to the wound on his neck and said: "The cross-section of the wound on his neck is not bright red enough, but appears white with red spots, and the skin and flesh are not tight and everted, there is no inflammatory reaction, and the blood has no signs of coagulation. ”

"So?" Yang Zheng, who was watching coldly, asked, covering his mouth and nose with a handkerchief.

"She was beheaded after her death." Bai Yu gestured to cut her throat: "Other wounds left on her body were concentrated at the intersection of arteries in various parts of the body, and a large amount of blood was bled, so the inferred cause of death is..."

"Loss of blood." Yang Zheng was slightly startled: "Have the corpses in the bloody clothes case been examined in this regard? Is it consistent?"

"It's consistent." The gun leader nodded: "I remembered, A-mei's body was also like this... The officials at that time should also know this from Zuo Zuo, but they still claimed that they died from beheading. This Why?"

"No matter why, it can be proved that...the deceased died of blood loss rather than beheading, which is consistent with the past deaths, and this news is not known to the public." Bai Yu glanced at the two people: "You should realize that this means What?"

Yang Zheng looked solemn: "So, the real murderer of the bloody suit case is really present!"

"To take a step back, even if it is an imitator, the other party has a very deep understanding of the murderer's killing methods, otherwise he would not be able to imitate it so vividly." Bai Yu copied his hands in the basin and used his true energy to evaporate the water stains: "It can be judged that the other party is closely related to the bloody suit case. As long as he is caught, the case will have a major breakthrough."

"Okay -!" The gun leader slapped his thigh hard and said excitedly with bright eyes: "What to do next!"

"Don't worry...I haven't even finished what I said."

Bai Yu continued to look at the corpse.

"The bloodletting process must have been a very painful and time-consuming process, but there was no sign of resistance on her body."

"Both her hands and feet are intact, and there are no traces of force. Normally, when people see danger coming, their instinctive reaction is to raise their hands, but there are no additional injuries on her hands. They are all intact, not even visible." There are traces of being tied up repeatedly... This is very strange.”

Yang Diaosi asked doubtfully: "You mean, she might have been knocked unconscious..."

"I tend to be addicted to drugs." Bai Yu crossed his arms: "After all, there are no other injuries on the body. Whether it is a sap or other techniques, there should be some traces. On the contrary, drugs are the most effective. I guess, she is Stunned and drained of blood."

"It's just that it's a bit unimaginable that the daughter of the Medical Saint would be knocked down by drugging." The gun leader said.

"She is too young, and it is possible to be careless." Yang Zheng expressed his understanding: "Many young people have died due to carelessness. This is her residence, so she has no suspicion about the guests."

"Maybe, but there is also a second possibility..." Bai Yu stared at the headless corpse, then shook his head and walked out of the morgue: "That's all that can be seen at the moment."

"Where do you plan to start investigating next?" Yang Zheng asked.

"The murderer is here. Instead of accompanying the Ninth Princess, Diao Si will keep an eye on me?" Bai Yu said with a half-smile, "I said three days, it will be three days. No one will make fun of their own lives. Isn't it?"

"His Highness asked me to assist you, not to monitor... Besides, it is broad daylight, so there is no danger." Yang Zheng said slowly: "You don't want me to get involved. Could it be that you are suspicious of me?"

"You are not the murderer." Bai Yu said directly.

"oh?"

"If you are the murderer, then you are only the one who was ordered. The person behind the scenes will be the Ninth Princess."

"..." Yang Zheng stared at Bai Yu sharply without saying a word.

"Just kidding, don't be so serious." Bai Yu smiled slightly.

"Stop telling jokes like this, it will kill people." Yang Zheng closed his eyes and said, "But I will listen to your advice and go back to His Highness to protect her safety."

Diao Si left first, his expression tense.

"Why did you leave?" The leader of the gun beside him was confused.

"Because the murderer will definitely commit a second crime, and the main victims of the blood-stained clothes case are unmarried women."

"What do you mean?"

"Who can say whether this time they are targeting the survivors of the blood-stained clothes case?" Bai Yu glanced at the leader of the gun: "Wu Susu is the same, she is not absolutely safe."

The leader of the gun changed his face: "Then I still have to go back quickly."

As he was talking, he suddenly stopped and turned his head to ask: "Last night, Huang Qiyun really stayed with you all the time?"

At this point, the leader of the gun still suspected that she was the murderer.

Bai Yu said calmly: "We slept in the same bed last night, how could it be false?"

Although it is a story of beasts and beasts.

But Bai Yu has basically cleared Huang Qiyun's suspicion. She did not leave all night, and it is impossible for her to be the real murderer of the blood-stained clothes case.

"I hope you haven't been deceived." The Gun Leader clenched his fists: "It's better not to have another death, otherwise... you can't explain it!"

"Wait."

"Have you changed your mind?" The Gun Leader turned back.

"Not really, but I've already seen the body. I can't let her body lie here forever. You should find a place nearby to bury her."

"This is too hasty. They didn't even have a funeral!" The Wu family Gun Leader frowned. The people of Daxia always take funerals very seriously. They are not a poor family, so why would they bury it hastily?

"Then you go and take the body to the ice cellar to preserve it."

"Why do you want me to go?"

"You said you want those girls to do this?"

"What about you?"

"I'm poisoned. I'm poisoned so badly that I can't even breathe. If I get a stitch in the side, will you be responsible for investigating the case?"

The Gun Leader was ordered around, and with an unhappy face, he sent the body to the underground ice cellar where food was stored.

Bai Yu looked at the gloomy weather. The fog in the Baicao Valley in the distance had risen very high, almost covering the surrounding terrain.

He narrowed his eyes slightly.

A minute later, Huang Qiyun appeared nearby and handed over a plate of buns: "You must be hungry, eat something."

"Thank you."

"Don't be so stressed. Even if we can't solve the case, we can leave safely." Huang Qiyun looked at him, her tone was gentler than ever. She seemed to be a little worried that Bai Yu would get into trouble if he tried too hard.

"I know, but... this time we must get to the bottom of it." Bai Yu took a bite of the beef bun.

"Why?"

"Because the real murderer of the bloody clothes case is here." Bai Yu pinched her cheek: "This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. I said I would clear you of suspicion."

Huang Qiyun slightly widened her eyes, and then lowered her eyes the next moment: "I don't care about these."

"You can not care, that's your generosity, but I must care, because I am very stingy." Bai Yu smiled and said: "I can't bear to see the girl I like being wronged... and the other party has been killing people for so many years, and it's time to count his sins."

Huang Qiyun thought that she would rather not have any innocence than to see him get hurt... The moment this impulsive thought arose, she had an impulse to carry the other party and forcibly leave Baicao Valley.

But she held back.

"Once I judge that there is danger, I will take you away by force."

Huang Qiyun said seriously and solemnly: "Make a promise with me... Listen to me at the critical moment."

She realized that her expression was too harsh, and her tone softened a bit: "Okay?"

Can Bai Yu still say no?

He raised his little finger, held it together, and said: "Okay... I'll listen to you about family matters."

Huang Qiyun hooked her finger and responded first, then found that this sentence was a bit ambiguous, and immediately raised her eyebrows in shame and anger: "You took advantage of me again!"

"Hey, wait a minute, girl, ladies should talk instead of fighting..."

While playing and making noises, a scream was suddenly heard.

This scream was the second time I heard it, and it was as distinctive as William's scream, like an alarm.

After just ten breaths, a group of people gathered at the location where the sound came from.

Just in front of the Ninth Princess's door.

The one who screamed was the cook, who had collapsed on the ground.

The Ninth Princess stood aside with a puzzled look on her face.

"She...she...she!" The cook gasped breathlessly.

"What?" Yang Zheng said angrily: "Speak more clearly!"

Jin Fugui supported the cook and said: "Everyone wait a moment, the lady needs to take a breath."

But the cook was obviously frightened and fell into a short loss of voice for a while.

"I think she didn't mean passive, but back."

Bai Yu walked over and looked at the Ninth Princess: "Please check the back of Her Royal Highness."

Yang Diaosi immediately clasped his fists: "Your Highness, please forgive me for my impoliteness."

He walked around to the back and found something.

It was a piece of paper, which was stuck on the back of the Ninth Princess at some point.

Take off the note, and there is a line of words on it.

-Today at midnight, take the blood of the royal family, fill the container, and save the regrets of the past!

This short line of words can be condensed into a simple sentence: Tonight at twelve o'clock, kill and bleed!

The gun leader immediately changed his face and was furious: "Is this a preview of the real murderer of the bloody clothes case?!"

"He actually targeted Her Royal Highness!"

"Your Highness fainted, go get a basin of water!"

When the note was found, everyone at the scene was in chaos.

Some people were calm, some were pale, and some were angry.

The Ninth Princess fainted, probably because of her emotional excitement.

Bai Yu picked up the note that fell on the ground, and glanced at the people around him, thinking.

This piece of paper... when was it posted?
