Longevity Sword and Yanling Sword

Chapter 33 Returning to the rivers and lakes

Jiang Bin once carefully analyzed all the clues and evidence of the deaths of Lin Zhonghai, Zhen Shan, and Duan Yun, and felt more and more that Xu Youyi might not be the murderer in any of the three murders.First of all, Xu Youyi had an alibi when Zhen Shan died; second, he had already discussed with Yan Wei about the doubts about Duan Yun's death, and he was afraid that someone would frame him maliciously; finally, regarding Lin Zhonghai's death, if Xu Youyi did it, Then she must be a bloodthirsty and murderous ruthless witch - during the autopsy, it was found that Lin Zhonghai and other members of the sect had acupuncture points tapped when they were killed. Even if Xu Youyi wanted revenge, there was no need to kill anyone other than Lin Zhonghai.Jiang Bin believed in his intuition to some extent. From his brief observation with Xu Youyi, although this girl was both good and evil, quite unruly, her heart was still kind and gentle, definitely not like a person who killed innocent people indiscriminately.

However, after Zhou Yunpei seized power, he often held meetings in Wendao Juzhong. One day Xie Yifan also attended, and suddenly jumped out to criticize Yan Wei, saying that she helped the demon girl do many bad things, and of course Lin, Duan, Zhen The deaths of the three seemed to implicate Xu Youyi and Yan Wei in these three murders.If he only said this, then Jiang Bin would not be suspicious, because most decent people in the martial arts think so, and there are even tabloids in the rivers and lakes. The special issue of "Degeneracy: Falling in Love with the Demonic Demon Girl" described the two as murderous, immoral, immoral, and immoral.

When Jiang Bin said this, Xu Youyi couldn't help bursting out into a burst of hearty laughter, but Yan Wei looked ashamed and annoyed, and muttered: "It's getting too far, it's getting too far, let's get down to business." Jiang Bin He nodded quickly and continued talking.

In short, Xie Yifan put forward a lot of so-called evidence at that time, but in Jiang Bin's view, it was not worth mentioning, and it could be refuted.He was going to refute it, but Xie Yifan said another thing, which made him alert-Xie Yifan said that the witch was originally for revenge. Zhen Shan is because of the old man surnamed Zhang.He may have slipped his tongue, mentioning that the old man's diary was missing for a year.Jiang Bin immediately and keenly noticed that only Yan Wei and Jiang Bin should know about this matter, how did Xie Yifan know about it?So he kept his composure, just secretly wrote down all his words, turned around and left Wendaoju, and went straight to find the people from Seven Star Pavilion through the black market.

"So I guess, Xie Yifan is highly suspected of murder, at least in the case of Zhen Shan's death." Jiang Bin concluded, and then he turned his attention to Yan Wei and Xu Youyi, as if waiting for their comments .

Xu Youyi and Yan Wei glanced at each other, both showing wry smiles, knowing what each other was thinking.Xu Youyi said, "It's really wrong to blame Xie Yifan, but the information you provided is still very useful. At least we know where Zhang Wan has gone—she must have formed an alliance with Xie Yifan and told him about Uncle Zhang's diary."

Jiang Bin looked puzzled: "Who is Zhang Wan?"

Xu Youyi and Yan Wei looked at each other again.Xu Youyi sighed, and said: "Since that's the case, I still have to tell you the whole truth—this is a long story."

It took Xu Youyi about half an hour to explain to Jiang Bin all the stories about herself, including what happened 20 years ago and the so-called secret of revenge.She also revealed the analysis between herself and Yan Wei, until the real murderer who killed her father was locked in Zhou Yunpei, Feng Bo, and Yan Yuming.After hearing this, Jiang Bin couldn't help but suddenly realized, with an unbelievable look on his face, he said repeatedly: "So that's the case! From this point of view, the entire martial arts world has wrongly blamed you..."

Xu Youyi smiled lightly: "It doesn't matter what the world thinks of us. The important thing is that I must find out the truth and seek justice for my parents."

Yan Wei whispered at this moment: "Why did Zhang Wan collude with Xie Yifan and want to put us to death?"

Xu Youyi sighed, with an apologetic look on her face: "I'm afraid she deliberately targeted you."

Yan Wei was taken aback for a moment, then showed a clear expression, and murmured: "It's no wonder, it's understandable, after all, you've known each other for 26 years..." But the expression on his face was a bit sour.

Xu Youyi knew what was in her heart, she immediately grabbed her hand with a smile, and said coquettishly, "Look at you, why are you thinking so much?" Then she looked serious, and said softly, "You understand my heart Yes, in my heart, you are the only one."

Why doesn't Yan Wei understand?It was just acting awkwardly in her own way.So he let out a muffled "hmm", but his expression brightened.

Jiang Bin watched helplessly as the two came and went, coughed lightly, and said, "In this way, Zhen Shan was killed by Zhang Wan, while Lin Zhonghai and Duan Yun should have been killed by the same mysterious Killed by the murderer."

Xu Youyi and Yan Wei turned their heads to look at him, nodded at the same time, and said in unison: "That's true."

"But there is also a key question that has not yet been answered." Jiang Bin frowned, "Is the murderer who killed Uncle Xu 20 years ago the same person as the murderer who killed Lin Zhonghai and Duan Yun today?"

Xu Youyi and Yan Wei looked at each other, and the latter replied: "We have analyzed this problem and think that it is very likely that they are the same person."

Jiang Bin was thoughtful: "The most critical breakthrough in the investigation of homicide cases is nothing more than the word 'motivation'. However, whether it is the killing 20 years ago or the assassination today, the motive is not very clear."

Xu Youyi said: "I think the motive for Lin Zhonghai's and Duan Yun's death is obvious. They want to frame me and completely beat me into a crazy bloodthirsty witch."

"Then why did the murderer do this?" Jiang Bin's eyes were burning.

"One is to cover up the murder 20 years ago, and the other is to win the position of leader." Yan Wei said, "This is a plan that kills two birds with one stone. We analyzed it like this before."

"That makes sense." Jiang Bin nodded, "It's just that there is still a little problem - one of the chains is broken."

Yan Wei and Xu Youyi looked at each other, and couldn't help asking in unison: "How do you say?"

Jiang Bin said: "You forgot to consider one thing."

"What's the matter?" Yan Wei and Xu Youyi were puzzled.

"The kidnapping of Yan Wei." Jiang Bin shot a sharp light in his eyes, "Did this incident happen independently by accident, or was it related to all the murders? Who was the kidnapper? Only by answering this question can we find out what happened." It can connect all the cases from 20 years ago and today to find the real answer."

Both Yan Wei and Xu Youyi felt chills.Jiang Bin was right, the person who kidnapped Yan Wei must have something to do with these murders.Judging from Jiang Bin's previous description, Yan Yuming took the initiative to give up his position as the leader of the martial arts alliance. It is very likely that he was blackmailed by the person who kidnapped Yan Wei. In order to save his daughter's life, he did this trick.It's a pity that Yan Wei was later rescued by Xu Youyi and others, so there is no more text - but the kidnapper's purpose has been achieved, which is to force Yan Yuming to give up his power.

So who the beneficiaries of this chain of events are, it is all too obvious.

Yan Wei looked at Xu Youyi with burning eyes. "Zhou Yunpei." She said eagerly, "It must be him. He kidnapped me and blackmailed my father for nothing more than to gain the power of the leader, and now he has succeeded."

Jiang Bin also nodded in agreement: "From this point of view, Zhou Yunpei is indeed the most suspected."

Xu Youyi remained silent, lost in thought.Of course she understands Yan Wei's urgency, if it proves that the murderer is Zhou Yunpei, then on the other hand, Yan Yuming's suspicion will be relieved, and the biggest gap between the two will disappear, and it will never affect the two of them again. feelings.But vaguely, Xu Youyi always felt that something was wrong, as if the evidence didn't fit together, and the logic was broken, but she couldn't figure it out and couldn't tell at the moment.

She didn't want to break Yan Wei's excitement at the moment, so she nodded and said: "You are right, maybe we can investigate from this direction first."

Jiang Bin frowned and said: "Zhou Yunpei is now the real leader of the martial arts alliance. It can be said that he has responded to everyone, and his energy cannot be underestimated. Besides, the two of you have already been on the martial arts arrest warrant. If you return to the arena, you must be more careful to avoid being attacked."

Xu Youyi and Yan Wei nodded together.Yan Wei said to Xu Youyi again: "If Zhou Yunpei is the murderer, then he must have a deep relationship with your parents." She had heard Xu Youyi's story before that Liu Yue'e had said something strange to the murderer. In words, it seemed that the man had pursued her before, so he explained this speculation to the two of them.

Xu Youyi smiled and said: "You remember clearly." Then she became serious, "You are right, we might as well divide into two groups, one to investigate the secrets of 20 years ago, and the other to investigate the clues of Lin and Duan's murder."

Jiang Bin said: "The bodies of the two masters Lin and Duan have been buried, but the relics are hidden in Wendao, so it's more convenient for me to check."

Xu Youyi nodded: "Okay, then let's find a way to find out what happened 20 years ago."

Jiang Bin said again: "Before I came, I had secretly investigated several hidden strongholds of Wendaoju. Although it is not complete, it can be used as a start of investigation." Then, he took out a piece of tissue paper from his pocket , with four or five place names written on it.

Yan Wei took it over and said sincerely: "This is very useful, thank you, it really helped a lot."

Jiang Bin smiled and said, "It's just for a little bit of justice."

The three of them invariably recalled the misery that Xu Youyi and Yan Wei suffered wronged and suffered in front of the decent sects before, and they couldn't help feeling a little emotional. At that time, only Jiang Bin stood up and wanted to refute them, but it was a pity that he couldn't play any role. , but the two girls will always be grateful for this sincerity.

The three of them discussed the plan for a while, and it was late at night, so they left Jiang Bin to stay in the hut next to him for the night, and the three of them set off together tomorrow morning.

In the middle of the night, Yan Wei lay on the bed, staring at the thatched roof, unable to fall asleep for a long time.Xu Youyi sighed beside her, and called her softly: "Yan Wei." Yan Wei turned her head to look at her, but Xu Youyi turned around, hugged her body tightly, and said softly: "Tomorrow you will return to the rivers and lakes, you ……Afraid?"

It can't be said to be afraid, Yan Wei thought, but rather, there was a little bit of resistance.When she thought of her father, she felt nostalgic and sad.Today Jiang Bin said that after she disappeared, Yan Yuming did not hesitate to give up his position as the leader of the martial arts alliance and was willing to be threatened by the kidnapper, just because he was worried about his daughter's life.She somewhat understood why when Zhou Yunpei threw himself in the Juxian Hall, his father would have that disbelieving and hating expression on his face.In fact, her father could have killed her.But he didn't.In any case, blood is thicker than water, and the relationship between father and daughter is not so easy to break.After all, she still has to go back and face her father.

So Yan Wei took advantage of the situation and hugged Xu Youyi tightly, whispering in her ear: "It's okay, I'm not afraid, I will protect you well."

The two embraced tightly in the dark, as if this was the last time they embraced each other without any scruples.

Because no one knows what will happen once they step into the dangerous arena again.
