Chapter 77: Wolverine
Someone from the Ziyun Sword Sect died, and this matter had nothing to do with Nantang and Ye Feng, who was about to lose Nantang.
No matter who died or who committed the murder, they had nothing to do with Ye Feng.
There is no reward if the case is solved, and there is no loss if the case is not solved. This is another kick by Su Yang.
If Ye Feng chooses to investigate and solve the case on his own, he can prevent the Jiuxing Division from getting involved.
But what Su Yang didn't know was that Ye Feng had just secretly joined the Jiuxing Division a few days ago...
Finally, Ye Feng agreed to take over the investigation of this case. As an avid mystery enthusiast and an occupational disease before time travel, he was particularly interested in this case.
The most important thing is that he wants to know whether this case has anything to do with the actions of the demon clan mentioned by Han Nian.
Ye Feng took the body to a dilapidated house with only three walls in Nantang, preparing to conduct a more thorough autopsy on the body.
Determining the identity of the deceased is the first step. In this matter, the other three halls have already begun investigating whether there are any missing students.
"The weeds were the scene of the first crime. Apart from the strange lodging of weeds, there were no other traces on the scene, and there were no signs of a fight."
"The deceased was wearing an embroidered robe. Anyone who can afford to wear this kind of material must be from a good family. The identity of the deceased is also not ordinary."
"The time of death was late at night. Why did he appear alone in the weeds where no one had set foot? Was he going to do something? Or was he here to meet someone?"
"There are many ways to kill people. This kind of wound... is too violent..."
Ye Feng stood next to the corpse, pinched his chin, and kept asking his questions.
Compared with Ye Feng's line of reasoning, Lin Xiyao is more accustomed to using wounds as a starting point to judge the method of killing, determine the killing tool, and finally deduce the person who used the tool.
"I think the wound is a little strange." Lin Xiyao suddenly murmured.
Ye Feng turned to look at him and asked, "What's so strange?"
"Three stab wounds, that's so strange." Lin Xiyao stared at the three wounds on the deceased's chest and shook her head slightly.
Ye Feng nodded and agreed with her idea: "It's indeed a bit strange. One knife can be fatal, why do you need to chop three times..."
Lin Xiyao took a step forward, leaned over to examine the wound carefully, and simply measured the distance between each knife with her hand, and asked casually: "Is it possible that these three knifes were struck at the same time?"
This idea is indeed something that Ye Feng has not thought of, but if you think along this line of thinking, it seems to solve this key problem.
Because the intervals between the three wounds are almost the same, and the depth and width of the wounds are also almost the same.
The weapon used by the murderer was most likely a strange weapon with three blades.
"Grapple? Wolverine?"
Ye Feng frowned, and a strange weapon appeared in his mind.
Lin Xiyao nodded vigorously and agreed: "It does look like a hook."
There are eighteen kinds of weapons, and it is extremely difficult to master any one, let alone master them all. Because each weapon has its own unique method of use and unique martial arts routines.
Therefore, few people will change weapons at will during the process of practicing martial arts.
Weapons like hooks and claws, which are not within the scope of conventional weapons and are strange weapons, are used by even fewer people.
"Have you ever seen anyone using this kind of weapon?" Ye Feng asked.
Lin Xiyao recalled it for a moment and shook her head: "This kind of weapon is not suitable for frontal fighting, and it is almost impossible to see it on the battlefield."
"Not suitable for head-on fighting? What is suitable for it?" Ye Feng asked.
"Suitable for assassination, close combat, and surprise." Lin Xiyao replied.
"Does anyone in the Ziyun Sword Sect use this kind of weapon?" Ye Feng asked again.
Lin Xiyao pondered for a moment and replied: "Ziyun Sword Sect is a place for practicing martial arts, and practicing martial arts is mainly internal rather than external. What is practiced is internal strength. The choice of weapons generally varies from person to person, but this kind of
Strange weapons should not conform to the orthodoxy of martial arts, let alone martial arts beginners."
Ye Feng agreed with Lin Xiyao. After all, the weirder the weapon, the faster he would die.
Nine out of ten people had dishes, and the remaining one was Xiaodai.
After untying the clothes of the deceased, Ye Feng prepared to conduct a comprehensive autopsy. However, the silk and satin were tightly adhered together due to the dried blood and the wounds. Ye Feng could only divide the clothes and cut them off part by part.
When Ye Feng cut off the deceased's right sleeve, he saw a scene that shocked him more than the strange wound.
Because there was a tattoo on the right arm of the deceased. The tattoo was an eye, staring at Ye Feng.
"Shadow Sentinel!"
Ye Feng and Lin Xiyao blurted out this frightening name at the same time.
This kind of eye tattoo is unique to the Shadow Sentinel and cannot be copied. It must be made by a person in the Shadow Sentinel who is specifically responsible for tattoos.
No matter which direction you look at this tattoo, you will find that eye staring at you. Tattoos imitated by others will never achieve this effect.
The deceased was a Shadow Sentinel. Now, the nature of the case has directly escalated.
The Shadow Sentinels were originally the emperor's personal bodyguards. Later, their power gradually increased and they have evolved into an assassination organization with minions all over the Yangning Kingdom.
Today, the Shadow Sentinels have the ability to compete with the Nine Stars Division, and after the founding of the People's Republic of China, compared to a department like the Nine Stars Division that needs to list evidence and then clean up, the Shadow Sentinels' assassinations are faster and more direct.
The most important thing is that this time the monsters invaded, the emperor recalled the Shadow Sentry Guards, but did not arrange any tasks for the Jiuxing Division.
"Who dares to kill the Shadow Sentinel?! And use this special weapon..." Lin Xiyao was a little unbelievable.
"What's more important is that this is a Shadow Sentinel lurking in the Ziyun Sword Sect. When the murderer committed the murder, did he know the identity of his Shadow Sentinel?" Ye Feng asked the most critical question.
The Shadow Sentinel Guards are now the same as the Jiuxing Division, a department that represents the imperial power. Killing the Shadow Sentinel Guards is tantamount to provoking the imperial power.
"Should we report this matter to Jiuxing Division?" Lin Xiyao asked an equally critical question.
"So far, no one except the two of us knows that the deceased is a Shadow Sentinel. If the Nine Stars Division intervenes, it means that the identity of the deceased is unusual. Moreover, the person who died was a Shadow Sentinel, not the Nine Stars Division.
, Will Jiuxing Division take care of it?" Ye Feng put forward his own opinion.
"Then what should we do now? Do we still want to continue the investigation?" Lin Xiyao asked.
Ye Feng pinched his chin and nodded: "If we continue to investigate, this matter will definitely be helpful to Jiuxing Division."
After he finished speaking, he looked back at the body again, especially the wounds on it, and suddenly frowned: "This wound..."
"What happened to the wound?" Lin Xiyao asked.
