【Section 45】Murder
As soon as the gong was struck at the third watch, Ye Xiang made a fuss over Gao's house.
"Master Jade is dead! Master Jade is dead," the servant ran into the door and shouted in a mournful voice!
The corpse carried in by the servants was that of Yu Fuxing, who was said to have been found in the alley next to Ye Mansion. However, the corpse that came in was not dressed in the usual clothes of Yu Fuxing, but in black clothes.
The servant said he was dead when he found him, with a sword in his hand and the ground covered with blood.
Ye Xianggao stopped his servants from reporting the crime, fearing to alert Chengtian Mansion, so he directly called a doctor to check.
Jade Guanyin was a little surprised when she saw the corpse, but it was indeed her biological father lying on the ground. She was mentally empty and couldn't believe the scene in front of her. She held back tears and bit her lips to prevent others from seeing the turmoil in her heart. She knelt down
Next to Yu Fuxing's body, he gently arranged his father's clothes.
The doctor arrived soon, and Ye Xianggao asked the irrelevant people to leave, leaving only Yu Huanchun, Nie Fu, Zhao Nanxing and others.
The doctor carefully untied Yu Fuxing's clothes, and two fine needle wounds appeared on his shoulders and collarbone, and blood flowed from the wounds.
Although Ye Xianggao and Zhao Nanxing were not martial arts practitioners, they could tell that this was not a knife or sword injury, but more like being hit by a hidden weapon with a thin needle.
The doctor carefully checked other places, looked thoughtfully for a while, stood up and whispered, "Sir, the deceased should not have been dead for long. You can see that the blood is still flowing, the body has no spots, and the joints are soft and not hardened. But...
....”
"You said?" Ye Xianggao asked.
"There are three wounds all over this man's body, two from the front and one from the back. The front is just a flesh wound, but the sword on the back is fatal. In my opinion, it was a thin sword wound. It only stands to reason that the sword stabbed straight through the back.
After entering the heart, ordinary people would die immediately, but this person actually struggled to walk for a while before dying."
"My father may have used his true energy to protect his last breath and come back to see me." Yu Huanchun said.
"Oh, it turns out he was a martial arts practitioner. No wonder I see that the skeleton of the deceased is different from that of ordinary people." The doctor said.
Although Yu Huanchun encountered great changes, he still tried to think: "My father's reputation has always been great in his life. He is the highest Jade Guanyin Sword Master in the Yu family in modern times. He never runs away from the enemy in battle. Unless...
"Is it possible that this man's martial arts skills are far superior to my father's? There are only a handful of people in the martial arts world who can make my father abandon the fight and run away." Yu Huanchun choked with sobs.
"A thin sword or a thin needle?" Nie Fu asked thoughtfully.
Yu Huanchun took a breath, "If my guess is correct, there is only one person in the world who can have such martial arts."
"Who?" Zhao Nanxing and Ye Xianggao asked in unison.
Yu Huanchun gritted his teeth and said, "Flying Snow Sword Technique." These four words struck Nie Fu like a bolt of lightning, telling him the news he didn't want to hear.
Zhao Nanxing and Ye Xianggao were not martial arts people, so they had no idea about the name and looked at each other. Nie Fu lowered his head and said nothing.
Ye Xianggao rewarded the doctor with a lot of money and told him never to mention this matter to outsiders.
After the doctor left, a servant of the Ye Mansion came in and said, "Your Majesty, there are words written in blood where we found the body. Do you want to ask your Majesty to go and check it out?"
"Hurry, let's go take a look together." Mr. Ye invited everyone to go together.
When we arrived at the scene, there were some dark red writings written in blood on the corner of the dirt-like wall. The handwriting was crooked and had only three strokes. The writing was one horizontal, one vertical and one horizontal, similar to the first two strokes of a spoken word.
The three of them looked at each other, and something came to their mind.
As soon as Jade Guanyin saw the word, she couldn't bear it anymore. Tears came to her eyes and she cried: "That is the word for snow. The word my father wants to write is snow."
Zhao Nanxing ordered the servant, "Take a piece of paper, scratch out this word, and then clean up the blood stains on the scene."
Zhao Nanxing turned to Ye Xianggao and said, "Sir, this matter cannot be reported to the Tianfu Office. If reported, it will inevitably attract the attention of the East Factory, which may cause major events to be missed."
Ye Xianggao nodded to express his understanding.
Zhao Nanxing said to Yu Huanchun again: "Xiannie, let's go back to the house first and discuss this matter carefully. We will not report it to the official in advance. We will talk about it after we have discussed it clearly."
Yu Huanchun was so confused that she could only express her agreement.
The servants fetched water to wash the floor and walls, and wiped away all the blood. Yu Huanchun returned to the place where his father's body was buried and wiped his body clean.
Yu Huanchun's heart was as empty as ice, and she had kept her mouth shut from crying from just now. Everyone said she was strong, but they all found it strange that the relationship between father and daughter was so deep, how could the daughter hold back from crying.
Yu Huanchun raised his father's hand to wipe away the blood. He was used to holding a warm hand, but now it was cold. As soon as he put it down, his hand fell softly. Yu Huanchun suddenly felt sad. It was at this moment that she really felt
I realized that my father was gone.
He could no longer suppress it and cried loudly, shouting: "How could a person just disappear like this? We were still talking at noon, dad, why did you just disappear like this? Daddy, daddy. What should I do? We still want to
I’m going home to find my mother. What do you want me to tell my mother?”
Yu Huanchun knelt on the ground, not caring that her knees and hands were stained with sewage. She knelt down to her father and cried loudly.
