Killed 99 times

Fan Wugeng was even more furious, his eyes were fierce, and he almost wanted to rush up and fight for his life.He walked two steps closer, looked at Mr. Yuyuan, and said in a trembling voice: "The way of heaven is impermanent, life and death are wrongly judged! I, Fan Wugeng, only have such a daughter. She went, but left my father alone. How can I bear it?" I, Fan Wugeng, have saved countless people in my life, and I have never made enemies with others. May I ask God, why did you let me suffer the pain of being separated from my flesh and blood? May I ask everyone in Tianjimen, why do you come to make trouble with me?"

After he finished speaking, it seemed that he couldn't bear it anymore, and fell to his knees.

Mr. Yuyuan's face sank like water, he walked down the stairs without slowing down, and stretched out his hand to support Fan Wugeng.Unexpectedly, something happened suddenly at this time, Fan Wugeng took out a dagger and stabbed Mr. Yuyuan.

Tan Hesheng cried out, "Master!"

Mr. Yuyuan did not dodge or evade, and was stabbed.His face turned pale, and he was supported by Yujuan and others who had caught up, but Fan Wugeng let go of his hand, looking miserable, his feet were floating, and he retreated to the side.

Impulsively, the disciple of Tianjimen wanted to step forward and hold down Fan Wugeng.Mr. Yuyuan waved his hand and said: "Don't be reckless! Doctor Fan lost his beloved daughter. If he misses it for a while, disciples of Tianjimen must not hold him accountable."

Mr. Yuyuan pressed the wound, and said again: "Mr. Fan, Yu knows that you have lost your beloved daughter, and is devastated. Although Yu has no children under her knees, she loves her apprentice no less than you. This matter The incident happened suddenly, and it still needs to be investigated in detail. If it is really the fault of the young disciple's fiancée, Yu will never tolerate it!"

Xie Yongxing on the side saw all this, with a cold expression on his face, thinking: Master could have avoided this sting, but he endured it, obviously it was for my junior brother to do this bitter trick.Hey, what a partiality he is!

He was taught privately by his master today, but he didn't reflect on it, instead he just blamed his master for being biased, and because Xue Buji didn't follow him, his deeds were almost exposed, so he had long held a grudge, and now he sent such an opportunity , How could he not add insult to injury.

Xie Yongxing said: "Junior brother, what is the origin of your fiancée? Miss Fan was killed tonight, and Master was attacked by surprise. It is obviously aimed at this gathering of righteousness and slaughtering demons. Your fiancée is not from Wuyiliu." Right? You colluded with the people of Wuyiliu, but it's a big mistake! Junior brother, you are so confused!"

When Tan Hesheng saw that his master was injured, he was in a state of disarray. At this moment, he was suddenly splashed with dirty water by his senior brother, and his eye circles were red immediately. He thought: You really think I am a fool, can't you understand?You threw that girl on my bed to frame me, but you came to ask me where she came from?Master protects you, I also see our brothers and sisters, swallow this grievance, but you come to frame me again?

Although he thought so in his heart, he didn't want to complain on the surface. First, he worried that his master would be sad when he saw their brothers arguing, and second, he didn't want to publicize the dirty and scandalous things in this kind of sect in front of these Jianghu people, lest the master He and Tianjimen were ridiculed.

Tan Hesheng said coldly: "Brother, the master has already said it, and this matter needs to be investigated in detail. If Miss Fan was really killed by my fiancée, you really have evidence to prove that I colluded with Wu Yiliu , then I, Tan Hesheng, will send my life here and pay it to Miss Fan, how about it?"

Mr. Yuyuan heard these words from the side, and the two apprentices, who had already made a judgment, not only sighed.

Mr. Yuyuan has been in the rivers and lakes for a long time, he has always been tolerant and modest, he is chivalrous, and he has many friends. There are many people in this inn who have been helped by him, and they all speak for him at this time.When Xie Yongxing heard that Deputy Envoy Xie Jin also followed up with his help, he secretly hated him.

In order to avoid suspicion, Mr. Yuyuan took everyone from Tianjimen to sit aside, and Xie Jin came forward to interrogate them.

Everyone put down the tables and stools in the inn, and sat aside, with Xie Jin sitting in the middle, asking about Fan Li's death.

Guan Zhongji said: "tonight, my junior sister and I saw a figure jumping down from the third floor of the inn and falling into the alley behind the inn. It looked like it was Tan Hesheng's fiancée. We became suspicious and followed her , Entering a private house in the alley. Who would have thought that my junior sister was discovered by her, killed her, and I escaped by hiding between the beams alone."

Xie Jin can be the deputy envoy of the city governor of Guangming City. He is by no means a brave man. Hearing his flawed words, he felt suspicious in his heart, but his face was as calm as water. He told them to go to the house in the back alley of the inn immediately to find clue.

Xie Jin said: "Nephew Guan Xian's words, Xie has a few questions. First, when did you and Miss Fan see that woman go out?"

Guan Zhongji thought for a while, and felt that there was nothing wrong with his testimony, so he replied truthfully: "It was around midnight tonight."

"Did you and Miss Fan see it together?"

"good."

"We saw her jumping down from the third floor and entering the back alley together?"

"Our room is on the second floor, and we can't see the third floor. It's just that she jumped from upstairs, stepped on the kitchen roof, and then jumped into the back alley with her strength." Guan Zhongji's eyes were red: "Uncle Xie, my junior sister was killed, what's the point of asking about these trivial details?"

"This is not some trivial details, but evidence. Xie dared to ask, what is the important matter that you and Miss Fan discussed so that you are still together at midnight?"

As soon as this remark came out, there was an uproar.

Fan Wugeng's eyes were red, and he jumped up to fight Xie Jin, but was held back by the person next to him.He looked like he was insane, and roared: "My daughter is already dead, yet you still want to insult her reputation! I know, you must be collaborating with the murderer! Despicable! Shameless!"

Xie Jin said with a serious face: "Thank you brothers for being considerate, let me Xie Jin come to investigate. I, Xie Jin, have no intention of insulting the deceased. All inquiries are to restore the truth! If you only want to hear what you want to hear, it is just an insult. The truth is also insulting the dead!"

The saber guard beside him untied his waist saber with his right hand, put it on the ground, pressed his hands on the handle of the saber, and made a loud chorus, which shocked Fan Wugeng.

Guan Zhongji shouted: "I misremembered, my junior sister and I were not together all the time, I went to bed early tonight, my junior sister couldn't sleep at night, saw that woman sneaking into the back alley, and became suspicious, so she came to look for me. "

Xie Jin's eyes were like lightning, he glanced at him, and suddenly said to the knife guard beside him: "This interrogation will take a lot of time, you go to the back room of the inn to buy some wine for you brothers to drink, and put it on my account ! I want the snow slurry from Frost Snow City!"

Yidao Wei held a stack of sea bowls in his arms, like a hidden weapon, and threw the sea bowls in front of everyone's table with a few consecutive swishes.As soon as the sea bowl was placed on the table, the knife guard who poured the wine used a trick to hang it upside down on a golden hook, and hung it on the beam of the house.

With such a handsome skill, everyone couldn't help but applaud!Guan Zhongji's face was ashen, and he was sweating profusely.

Xie Jin drank three bowls in a row without getting drunk.He slapped the bowl on the table and continued to ask: "Nephew Guan Xian, have you ever had a drink tonight?"

Guan Zhongji shook his head dully.

"If you have never drunk, why can you even remember whether you are in the same room with your junior sister?"

Guan Zhongji rolled his eyes and glanced at his master Fan Wugeng.He was in the same room with his junior sister, and he didn't do anything unethical, but his junior sister asked him to discuss how to kill Xue Buji with a giant snake.Seeing her slipping out of the inn suddenly, the junior sister was overjoyed and refused to let go of this god-given opportunity, so she dragged him to chase after her.

But all of this must not be said, otherwise the junior sister will turn from a poor victim to a perpetrator!

His mind was buzzing, he didn't know how to answer, and then he heard Xie Jin say: "Okay, even if your memory is not good, it is indeed wrong, you are resting in your own room. Then, when your junior sister saw someone jumping behind the inn, I ran to tell you that the period of time between the time you woke up and opened the door was enough for that woman to sneak into the back alley. Even if you ran to the window immediately to check, I'm afraid you could only see her back, right? "

"How did you see that she stepped on the roof of the kitchen and used her strength to jump into the back alley?!"

"Also, since my father lives next door, why did your junior sister go to find you?"

Guan Zhongji's whole body went limp, and he almost collapsed!

Xie Jin looked at him and continued to ask: "Go on, you said that you and your junior sister were suspicious, so you followed him into a private house in the back alley, what did you see that made her want to kill your junior sister to silence her? "

Guan Zhongji muttered: "We saw her enter the house, so we sneaked in behind her. I hid on the beam, and my junior sister hid in the corner. She walked around the house and came back. We didn't know what she was doing." What. Then, she found out about her junior sister and killed her junior sister to silence her. I think she must have done something wrong, otherwise why would she kill her junior sister to silence her?"

At this moment, there was a loud noise from the south of the city, and everyone in the inn heard it.Xie Jin heard this, and sent people to check it out. After a while, his subordinates came back and reported that it was an abandoned pulp workshop that had been in disrepair for a long time and had collapsed.Everyone didn't take it seriously.

At this time, the people who went to investigate in the alley house had already returned.The two reported to Xie Jin: "There are no traces of fighting or blood in the residence. But in the room facing south, we found this."

Dao Wei took a step forward and handed over a piece of something in his hand.Everyone stretched their necks, and Xie Jin stretched out his hand to take it, and lifted it up. Under the candle, he held a flat object the size of a fingernail in his hand.

Another knife guard picked up a wet bamboo basket at hand: "Deputy Xie, this bamboo basket was found by a small river not far from here when the villain was searching for clues around the inn. The villain didn't know Is this bamboo basket related to this murder case, but the weaving technique of this bamboo basket and the hollow pattern are not from the local area."

He held up the bamboo basket and showed it to the hesitant Jianghu people: "The pattern on the bamboo basket is a kind of red-headed bird. This kind of bird is rare in southern Xinjiang, but it is often seen in the area around Mt. Mianbai in the north. People are born in Mianbai Mountain, and this weaving method is also a kind of weaving method in our local area."

Xie Jin took a look at the bamboo basket and asked, "Where is the old man Yulong? I remember he said today that one of his pets is missing."

Immediately, someone with trouble shouted: "He lives next door to me! I'll call him!"
