Chapter 273 Falling into the trap
Lu Qingfan and Yun Xi stepped lightly and stood by the door without going in immediately.
"...What secrets do Ge Zhongbin and I have? That guy is a drunkard and a womanizer. He is just trying to figure out whose girl is more beautiful and whose money is better."
It was He Lei who spoke this time.
"Wang Lian, don't pretend that we don't know. You and Ge Zhongbin have been to many places with fireworks in private. Who knows if you said something shameful in that popular place so that we don't know!"
He Lei bit back, and Wang Lian was so angry that he jumped forward and wanted to beat him.
"Have you two had enough? Learn from Ah Fei's calmness! How long will there be internal strife? Ge Zhongbin was killed because of the errand we ran. Who knows if it will be our turn next?"
As soon as these words came out, everyone in the room was startled. Du Xin reacted very quickly. When he saw someone outside the window, he shouted "Who!" and rushed out.
Du Xin burst out of the door with his hands clenched into fists, blowing a strong force of wind directly into the face of the intruder.
Lu Qingfan stood in front of Yun Xi and held the man's iron fist with one hand.
"Invisible Gang Fist?" Lu Qingfan looked at Du Xin with unclear meaning and said calmly: "Master Du never said that he practiced such hard skills before."
Yun Xi blinked and continued: "Sir, are you talking about the new sect 'Invisible Gang' that has only emerged in the world in recent years?"
It is rumored that this powerful iron fist is the master's unique martial arts, and can only be learned by his direct disciples.
Du Xin's punch just now took at least ten years of practice to be successful.
"I didn't expect Mr. Lu to have a hobby of eavesdropping."
Du Xin didn't panic at all, put away his iron fist and said calmly: "I am just an unqualified disciple of 'Invisible Gang'. I left the sect after a few years of training. I might embarrass my masters if I tell you."
"Young Master Du is too modest." Lu Qingfan glanced at the people hurriedly coming from the house: "I just arrived."
Yun Xi saw that Lu Qingfan's face was not red when he lied with his eyes open, and his heart did not beat. He secretly thought that only when people in Dunsu lied did they deceive others and not pay for their lives.
"Misunderstanding, misunderstanding! Since it's all a misunderstanding, let's go in and talk?" Wang Lian was most naughty. At this moment, he saw that many residents who were not asleep had begun to poke their heads in this direction, and he hurriedly invited the two of them into the room.
Lu Qingfan and Yun Xi didn't refuse either.
When he passed Du Xin, Lu Qingfan's cold eyes glanced at his neck and discovered the "invisible gang" dark pattern.
This guy is still lying.
After entering the house, Lu Qingfan sat down at the table, and Yun Xi stood obediently next to Lu Qingfan... Her beautiful dress was already stained with the smell of corpses, and she had already lived up to her reputation as a co-worker, making her life unsettling.
"Du Xin, I asked you before about your relationship with Ge Zhongbin, but you didn't answer truthfully." Lu Qingfan said with a calm face: "Every time he comes back, he comes back just to meet you, right?"
Du Xin didn't expect that Lu Qingfan even knew this. His expression flickered and he said: "Yes, but..."
"What information did you pass on to Feihe Peak? Why don't you get it from the facts?"
Do you know this too?!
Not to mention Du Xin, even Wang Lian and several others were stunned. This was the first time they heard that the escort was actually "intelligence"!
Yun Xi's eyes swept over everyone's faces one by one: Wang Lian and He Lei were indeed unaware, but Zhou Xinfei was very calm and calm, and it was not as if he was unaware.
"What information? Du Xin, everyone is dead now, do you still want to hide it from us?!"
Wang Lian was so angry that he stepped forward to grab Du Xin's sleeves, but was stopped by He Lei next to him: "Don't go there, you are no match for him."
Seeing this, Du Xin smiled helplessly and said: "We have known each other for many years, are we going to have a relationship soured by a few words from others?"
Lu Qingfan, who was scolded by Du Xin, laughed angrily. He touched the dark lines of his sword with his index finger with interest and said calmly: "My patience is limited."
The implication is that without conclusive evidence, he will not come.
Du Xin looked stern: "We did pass on information, but I don't know the specific details."
He is only responsible for coming to pick up Ge Zhongbin every year, and the person who goes up the mountain is always Ge Zhongbin himself.
"This time the letter has been sent. I am only responsible for taking the money and doing things without asking any questions."
"Yeah." Lu Qingfan turned around and left after hearing this, as if he believed what Du Xin said.
Yun Xi quickly followed Lu Qingfan, not forgetting to close the door that Du Xin had broken before leaving.
Everyone in the room looked at each other, Du Xin murmured: "That's it?"
He came in a fierce manner, asked half a question and then left?
He Lei sighed: "That's all, you can go back and rest. After all, everyone should be more careful tonight."
Du Xin clasped his fists and turned around to go back to his bedroom.
Zhou Xinfei leaned against the window and watched the situation the whole time without saying a word.
Let's talk about Yun Xi and Lu Qingfan returning to the house where Ge Zhongbin's body was. She asked, "Has your Excellency made any new discoveries?"
"Yeah." Lu Qingfan raised his thin lips slightly, "You can see that there is something wrong with Zhou Xinfei."
Yun Xi nodded: "He is too calm."
"Because the one who really looks after Ge Zhongbin is Zhou Xinfei." Lu Qingfan pursed his lips and said.
"He is the guarantor?" Yun Xi exclaimed softly, then realized that her voice was louder, and quickly covered her mouth: "It's the same as what Mr. Hua did before, right?"
"That's right."
After Lu Qingfan finished speaking, he started rummaging around the house. He had an intuition that Ge Zhongbin's death was related to the information to be delivered this time.
Yun Xi suddenly realized, and together with Lu Qingfan, they rummaged through various objects in the house.
Because, it is very likely that the information has not been sent out yet.
The two found nothing in the house and were quite frustrated.
Yun Xi sighed and sat on the ground, his eyes catching sight of Ge Zhongbin's saber.
"Sir, will Jianghu people add hidden buckles to their weapons?"
"Huh?" Lu Qingfan was startled by Yun Xi's irrelevant question, and then followed Yun Xi's gaze and landed on Ge Zhongbin's saber.
The two immediately stood up and played with Ge Zhongbin's sword: the pattern of this sword was ordinary, except for a very fine ruby on the top handle. It was not an item that ordinary people in the world would use.
Lu Qingfan rubbed it lightly and then pushed hard: a long hidden compartment was revealed under the ruby, with a small note rolled inside.
"No wonder we searched the whole house and couldn't find it." Yun Xi pulled out the hairpin and drew out the note with some joy: "Ge Zhongbin is quite ingenious."
"Well, I really put my heart into it." Who in the ordinary world would make a secret buckle on the hilt of a sword to hide information?
The two of them opened the note and wrote a line of small words: When the deeds are exposed, leave the peak immediately.
Lu Qingfan pursed his lips and said in a deep voice: "Warning letter."
Yun Xi murmured: "The cause of Ge Zhongbin's death."
They knew who the murderer was.
Now, there is just one more crucial piece of evidence.
In the middle of the night, many shocked residents were still discussing the death of Ge Zhongbin, but they didn't know who knew from someone that Ge Zhongbin died because of a note with information, which was a "warning" that was related to his wealth and life.
words.
Some people say one thing and others say the other, and the rumors are getting more and more intense...
At this moment, Lu Qingfan summoned everyone in the inn and stated that he already knew the identity of the murderer. He said that the murderer would not try to kill anyone again, and everyone could sleep peacefully. The murderer would be brought to justice immediately at dawn tomorrow.
As soon as this statement came out, some people questioned why Lu Qingfan was not arresting anyone now.
Lu Qingfan immediately smiled mysteriously and said that he would use his wealth and life to ensure the safety of everyone, and that was all.
After struggling for most of the night, not to mention the guests, the shopkeeper and the waiters couldn't stand it anymore, so they all went back to their rooms and turned off the lights and went to sleep.
Yun Xi and Lu Qingfan also went back to rest and wait until dawn.
After a while, the sound of snoring could be heard in the post house.
In the dark and lightless post house, a dark figure quietly moved toward the room where Ge Zhongbin's body was located.
In the dark night, the man moved freely and searched for objects quickly. After a while, he found nothing, stood up straight and looked at the corpse on the ground.
Little by little, he slowly approached the body, and finally, under the moonlight, he suddenly opened the white cloth covering the body, revealing the face underneath...
Before the person could see clearly, the "corpse" covered his head and face, and his acupuncture points were suddenly pressed, making him unable to move.
The room suddenly became as bright as day, and Yun Xi's clear and lively voice revealed a hint of indignation: "I've caught you, murderer."
