In the early morning of the next day, Feng Yu got up at the same time to wash up and have breakfast. However, today's people were not as energetic as yesterday, and they all looked like they had not woken up.
Shopkeeper Xu's son saw a few people, pointed at them with his little finger, and said in a sweet voice: "Dad, Mom, my uncles seem to be just like me, they like to make mischief at night."
Shopkeeper Xu quickly picked up his son: "Don't talk nonsense, uncles are doing serious business and are here to catch the bad guys for us."
Ling Chen waved his hand: "Shopkeeper Xu, don't worry, it's just childish talk. But we are also very ashamed that we didn't catch a single gangster."
Shopkeeper Xu greeted with a smile: "Where, in the woods outside the south city, this morning a woodcutter cut wood and found many corpses. They were wearing masked clothes. I was too timid to look at them, but thinking about it, it must be the work of a few adults.
"
When Ling Chen heard this, he immediately said, "Are there any people from the state government and county government here?"
"I don't know about this. I just heard what the neighbors said."
Ling Chen was about to rush to the scene when Su Ci stopped him, "It's useless. Regardless of whether they were involved or not, those who were sent to die yesterday probably wouldn't be able to find anything. The relationship has long been cleared."
Ling Chen also clenched his fists and suppressed his anger, "It seems we can only wait until our uncle arrives. The opponent is much stronger than we thought."
Su Ci nodded: "Well, for the time being, just stay still and keep an eye on them secretly to avoid alerting the enemy. The two of you have spent the past few days specifically inquiring about the movements of officers and soldiers in the busy market. How can you gather such a batch of good bows and arrows and so many
People, horses, and the government cannot know everything. We all need to be more careful. They may attack us at any time."
"Yes, Sir Commander."
"Good morning, everyone." Feng Yu walked in from outside the gate and looked at the people who were discussing.
Ling Chen clasped his fists and replied: "Master Feng, you are also very early."
However, Su Ci seemed to have discovered something and did not say anything. He carefully examined every aspect of Feng Yu's body with his eyes. Feng Yu thought that Su Ci's prejudice against him had resurfaced, but what he said next made him laugh.
He was quite shocked.
"Master Feng, we went to the woods in Nancheng last night. I wonder where you are, Master?"
"Sleep in the room. After all, I'm not from the Mirror Department."
"Huh, sleeping in the room? The Anxin Inn is located in a busy city, and there are people cleaning the surrounding streets. People from outside the city generally don't pass by here when entering the city, but go towards the county government office. There are only two customers in the inn, you and me.
This proves that there have been few people around in recent days, and because I sleep in the room with you, my boots will have the smell of earth. Do you dare to lift your feet?"
Feng Yu narrowed his eyes. No wonder they sometimes took Su Ci as the leader. It turned out that it wasn't because of their martial arts skills, but because of their unusual insight.
Feng Yu sat on the bench, took off his shoes and showed her the soles.
Su Ci sneered: "As expected, it's very clean. There are no fallen leaves or dirt. However, things must be reversed at the extreme. Even at home, it wouldn't be so exquisite, right. When you go out to have breakfast, you still have to wipe your shoes clean?"
"So, you doubt me?"
"It's not doubtful, but affirmative. There has been heavy rain recently, and the air outside the woods in Nancheng is very different. It is fresh and natural. There was a fight last night, and it was mixed with this bloody smell. It is not found in other places. This cannot be covered up.
You haven’t changed your clothes or taken a shower, so you smell like this. I’m sure you’ve been there.”
"Moreover, your complexion is different from this time yesterday. You must have slept relatively late last night. Why?"
After saying that, Su Ci didn't wait for him to explain, and regardless of other people's opinions, he opened Feng Yu's room and walked straight to the window. His eyes lit up, and he turned to look at the people who were following him, "You can't explain it anymore."
Yes, the window also has that smell. It was opened. When I jumped from the next door to chase someone last night, your place was well locked. "
"You are the murderer who shot someone with an arrow last night!"
Ling Chen had already drawn his sword, and as soon as he said these words, he immediately put his hand on Feng Yu's neck, "In addition, your martial arts cultivation level is better than mine, we definitely have reason to doubt you, don't think about it, otherwise there will be no blame."
The sword has no eyes."
Feng Yu felt helpless in his heart. He originally wanted to join in the fun, but he didn't expect that he got stuck.
Looking up at Su Ci, there was no fearful affection on his face, but a charming smile. Su Ci also fell into it for a few seconds, "I apologize for my rudeness in the past few days. You are an excellent envoy."
, who said women are inferior to men, it’s really good. I admit, I have been to that forest, and the time is very consistent. "
Everyone was surprised. Su Ci and Ling Chen thought he would quibble. The Xu family were all surprised by Feng Yu's identity, especially Old Man Xu. He actually brought back a heinous thief. He was really blind.
"I admit everything Mr. Su said, but I disagree with the last sentence."
Su Ci stared at his beautiful eyes, "You still want to quibble."
Feng Yu spread his hands, "What you said are all facts, so I don't deny that I went to the crime scene last night and saw your plan. However, these alone do not seem to be enough to prove that I have silenced you."
People."
"Humph, besides you, who else could be there, and we didn't notice it."
Feng Yu shook his head helplessly, "You are very smart and observant. I admire you very much. You are only a fourth-grade person, but you can even distinguish the breath. But since you have shown your intelligence, don't give up halfway. Seriously, as you said, I am the murderer.
, Where did I get those bows and arrows? When did I go to set up the ambush in advance? After all, I have been in the inn, I believe Mr. Su has been keeping an eye on me."
Su Ci frowned and combined his guesses, "You are a participant, but not necessarily the culprit. It is very likely that you colluded with the state government to set up these, and you are the undercover agent arranged beside us."
"Okay, regardless of whether you followed me to live in, just take last night as an example. If I were behind the scenes, would I let the four of you come back alive? Master Ling said that I am stronger than you, and you have experienced it again.
After a hard fight, how hard would it be if I showed up on the spot and killed you? Why bother with so much trouble?"
Everyone stopped talking, because what Feng Yu said was true. The trick last night was originally to trap and kill them, and there was no reason to let them go with such a good opportunity.
Su Ci knew that he was biased against him, and the second half was too arbitrary, "Then what did you do there last night?"
Feng Yu showed a smile that showed you what you can do to me, "I know that when officials handle cases, we people should cooperate. Just from the analysis just now, I am very suspicious, so I don't blame you. But, what am I going to do? Why should I do it?
Let me tell you, it’s fine if I’m not here to kill you anyway.”
"you!"
"Stop blowing your beard and staring. Can you take off the knife now? You said I have a smell on my body. I'm very disgusted now. I just want to take a bath first. Goodbye." After waving his hand, Feng Yu went downstairs to fight.
The water has gone.
Ling Chen put the knife back into the scabbard, "Junior sister, this Feng Yu is very extraordinary. Not only is he very strong, but his character is also so terrifying. From the beginning to the end, he has not taken our suspicions seriously at all. He is absolutely incomparable to others."
, I’m afraid he has an extraordinary experience and a big background.”
Old man Xu pretended to be a good guy and smoothed things over: "Let me just say, my little brother doesn't look like a bad guy at all. Let's just treat it as a misunderstanding. I hope you can forgive me and don't take it too seriously. Let's all go back and rest. See you later."
Can we be friends?"
After listening to what Ling Chen and Uncle Xu said, Su Ci thought of something, looked solemnly, and walked out.
During lunch, everyone sat at a big table, but no one said a word, and the atmosphere was very awkward.
Ling Chen was really embarrassed and raised his glass to Feng Yu, "Master Feng, our responsibilities are ours. We dare not let go of any clues. We were reckless today. Please forgive me, Master Feng."
Feng Yu put down his chopsticks and raised his glass in response, "Sir Ling, you're welcome. I've already said it. I can understand it. Don't take it to heart."
"It's as good as ever. Thank you very much, sir."
"Wait a minute," Su Ci didn't know what he thought of. He stood up, raised his glass, and finished the drink in one sip, "It's my fault today, Su Ci. I apologize to Mr. Feng. I'd like to do it first as a respect. Thank you Feng."
Sir, I forgive you."
Feng Yu didn't expect to be so cheerful, "Okay, then I'll do it too."
Su Ci filled another cup, and under Ling Chen's surprised eyes, he raised his head and drank it all again, "This cup is a request from me, Su Ci, to the young master. I don't know if the young master can agree to it."
It’s not good. “Tell me first, what’s going on?”
"I would like to ask the young master to help us investigate this case together."
Feng Yu knew that Su Ci would not let him go, "Why?"
"Being able to stay in the woods for so long without being discovered shows your ability. Now, the state government is bound to be involved in this matter. We have become a thorn in the side. Moreover, I thought about it carefully. If you are not a gangster, then the other party did last night.
There is an expert in the dark. If I predict correctly, that person is probably aware of your presence, so he did not attack us and we escaped. Now, we feel that the young master is not a gangster, so the other party
We don’t know that living together under the same roof is the most effective way for us to cooperate.”
Feng Yu stared at her for a while, and he who had long been prepared to get involved in the case said: "I can help, but I am seriously injured. There are some things I can't help with. I will do my best in small things, provided that,
At the critical moment, I will choose to protect the Xu family, not you."
Su Ci had already known that this would be the result, and replied with a smile: "Thank you, Master. I have guessed what you are thinking. Please rest assured that our actions will not involve the Xu family at will."
Ling Chen suddenly interrupted, "Severely injured? Mr. Feng was seriously injured? Could it be that he was hunted down by his enemies at a young age?"
The Xu family is now living with a bit of fear, fearing that they will be harmed, so they don't speak if they can.
"I have no enemies now, so there is no need to talk about the injury. Don't worry, I can still deal with people below seventh grade. If I really encounter a master, I will just run away."
