[Comprehensive martial arts] Drawing swords to help

"So, it was Miss Fang who asked you for help that day?"

Seeing Zhu Ruoxu nodded, Xu Ran and Chang Anan looked at each other, and then asked, "She doesn't know that you are from the Destiny Sect?"

"How could I tell her this kind of thing?" Zhu Ruoxu smiled bitterly, "If it wasn't because she cared too much about my sister, I didn't even plan to use this drug again."

"I don't understand." Xu Ran said, "It's just a poor scholar. With your martial arts, it should be solved in two or three strokes. Why do you use such a troublesome method?"

"Of course I can sneak into his house without anyone noticing and twist his throat, but Miss Fang firmly disagrees." Zhu Ruoxu sighed, "Women are always terribly stubborn in many things, Miss Fang said , if she hadn't personally killed this villain who deceived her feelings and tried to use her reputation to threaten her father and brother, she would never be able to get peace of mind."

"So you let Miss Fang use 'Siji Gui' to make Wang Shusheng lose his resistance?"

"On the contrary." Zhu Ruoxu explained, and he gave Xu Ran an unexpected answer, "I sold 'Siji Gui' to Wang Shusheng, but at that time I only told him that it was just an accident. The incense with the effect of cold water is very pleasing to women. He thought that Miss Fang was completely unaware of his evil deeds, so he took this fragrance to a tryst that night with malicious intentions. It seems useless, but once it interacts with the medicine in the sachet worn by Miss Fang, it is immediately equivalent to a powerful poison that can be transmitted through breath. Nothing will happen to the antidote. The breath of this poison dissipates very quickly, as long as they have time to move out the dead Wang Shusheng, there will be no evidence left. It's just..."

"I just don't know why, but Wang Shusheng still has the fragrance of 'Four Seasons Osmanthus' on his body." Xu Ran said.

"Yes." Zhu Ruoxu smiled wryly again, and said, "I was really taken aback at the time, and I wanted to ask Miss Fang immediately what happened, but County Magistrate Ge seemed to suspect her because of some gossip. She was under strict surveillance, and I never had a chance."

"Gossip?"

"This Fangfu is not that big, so what is really airtight?" Zhu Ruoxu said, he looked at Xu Ran, and then said: "That's all I know, no matter what you think, Mr. Xu I don’t believe it, I didn’t kill people.”

"Do you mind if I ask a question that is not relevant to this case?"

"Please."

"You said that you don't plan to use this medicine anymore...does that mean that you have broken away from the Destiny Sect now?" Xu Ran asked.

Zhu Ruoxu had expected Xu Ran to ask this question, but he still needed some time to organize his words before he could answer: "Once you join the Destiny Sect, there is no chance of leaving, unless...you are no longer in this world. " He touched his face, "You don't think such a face can enter the Destiny Sect, do you?"

"Is it for Miss Fang?"

"I only met Second Miss Fang after I left the Destiny Sect." Zhu Ruoxu replied, "Maybe the price I have to pay is to hide for the rest of my life, but at least now I can choose freely. Master Xu, if If you have no intention of arresting me, just treat today's conversation as if it never happened."

After saying this, he made a gesture of seeing off the guests.

Xu Ran thought about the difference in force between Zhu Ruoxu and himself, and resolutely chose the former between "going out by himself" and "being thrown out", and Chang Pingan naturally followed closely behind.

"My lord, do you think he is telling the truth?" Chang Pingan asked after walking a certain distance.

"It's true." Xu Ran replied quickly, "There is nothing weird about emotion and reason, and more importantly...we walked out of his room intact!"

Recalling the back and forth at the door of Zhu Ruoxu's room just now, Xu Ran was in a battle between two forces, and could hardly stand for a long time. If the situation did not allow it, he might be excited about this "survival after the catastrophe". Two lines of male tears flowed down.

Chang Pingan gave him a sneaky look, and asked, "If Miss Fang didn't have time to do something, could it be that Miss Fang did it for her sister? No one would care if a female family member went back to rest early at the wedding banquet."

"It's unlikely." Xu Ran replied, "Let's discard factors such as the Destiny Sect and simply look at this case. The first conclusion we can draw should be that the murderer's height and strength are definitely beyond the reach of an ordinary woman." I have it." He raised his hand, reminding Chang Pingan not to forget the hand knife attack he personally tested, "Actually, there is one more thing to pay attention to in the conversation just now."

"What is it?"

"Zhu Ruoxu said that'the villains tried to threaten her father and brother with her reputation'. Although it was a 'vain attempt', did Wang Shusheng really implement this act? Whether it is Miss Fang or Zhu Ruoxu Not yet known?" Xu Ran said, "Except for Miss Fang who has direct emotional entanglements with Wang Shusheng, Master Fang, Young Master Fang and all other people who are closely related to the interests of the Fang family have reasons to commit crimes."

"That's true." Chang Anan affirmed after thinking for a moment, "But you reminded me that the boy named Fang Ping once said that he went to investigate immediately after hearing the news, and the murderer had no time to kill him." Wang Shusheng’s shoes were also thrown into the well, indicating that he fled in a hurry, but he still did not leave any traces, does this mean that the murderer is very familiar with the courtyard?”

"It is indeed possible." Xu Ran said, "Of course it is also possible that the boy was too nervous and didn't investigate carefully."

In any case, because of Zhu Ruoxu's confession, the case gradually became clear.At the same time, because the reason for the appearance of "Four Seasons Gui" has become clear, Xu Ran and Chang Ping'an are less concerned about the investigation. At least they can visit the crime scene openly.

However, their relaxed mood did not last long.

In the evening, Mrs. Ge led the soldiers to arrest the eldest lady of the Fang family, and found the letter written by Wang Shusheng from her wing, confirming the unusual relationship between the two.

Xu Ran's first reaction was to look at Zhu Ruoxu, and as expected, he saw the coldness on his face.

There was a chill on his back, and he kept saying "no", he didn't want to know what the Tianming sect would do when faced with the situation of "the sister of his sweetheart was arrested by the government", so he jumped up from his seat and ran Then he stopped the team of guards who were escorting Miss Fang to the door.

"Master Xu, what's the matter?" asked the leading guard?His tone was polite, but his feet still kept the tendency to move forward.

"It's not a big deal. It's just that there seem to be many doubts in my case. I'm afraid it's not appropriate for a few of you to take down Miss Fang with such a great fanfare."

"Master Xu can naturally handle the case in the way you think is appropriate in Lanxi Town, but it's a pity that this is Huangshui Town, and we only follow the orders of Master Ge." The guard said, "But you can rest assured, Master Xu, we will cover Fang's case." Missy's face, no one will know who was taken away before the official court appearance."

It's just talking nonsense with your eyes open!Xu Ran needed to work very hard to restrain himself so as not to curse. He knew that it would be almost impossible to persuade these guards not to take Miss Fang away today, so he simply changed his mind and said, "In this case, I wonder if I can follow along with you?" Let's go to the court together to meet Mr. Ge."

"Master Xu, I'm afraid this is inappropriate."

"Really? I don't think so." Xu Ran said, with a bit of sternness in his brows, "I and Mr. Ge are both county magistrates of Qipin and officials of the court, but now they are being held by Mr. Ge for no reason. Confinement in the Fangfu, if this official reads a copy..."

"Master Xu!" The guard's voice suddenly rose, and he seemed to be conscious of being impolite, but he said with restraint of anger, "Master Xu knows that our lords are here to handle the case, so how can we say it's for no reason?"

"Knowingly? What does this officer know? Does Mr. Ge have evidence that can identify this officer as the murderer? Or does he realize that this officer has a reason to commit the crime? Unless Mr. Ge presents evidence that this officer is related to this case, Otherwise, when I submit this matter to the authorities, it is still unclear whose side is the truth." Xu Ran said righteously and sternly.

"Master Xu, you..." The officer dared to be angry but did not dare to speak. When the atmosphere was stalemate, another officer behind him whispered a few words to him. Master Xu please follow."

This is indeed a gesture of compromise.
