Volume 3: The Mystery in the Picture Chapter 152: The Death of Shopkeeper Zhou
Wang Tengyan is also a theater lover and often attends Ye Zhenzhen's performances. The relationship between them is inherently complicated.
If the Wang family is involved, this case will definitely become more complicated. Maybe the Kyoto Prefecture is not qualified to handle this case, so it can only be handed over to the Zhenxuan Division.
But the problem is that Hang Tianyi, Zhang Chenyu and others are all spiritual officers of the Zhenxuan Division. According to the usual rules, they are in contact with this case and are most familiar with it, so they will still be allowed to do it.
Going around and around, there is no way to avoid it. Hang Tianyi feels that his horoscope is naturally incompatible with the Wang family.
"Whether the Wang family is involved or not, we have to continue investigating!" Hang Tianyi said.
In fact, Hang Tianyi didn't want to avoid it.
He didn't understand what kind of thinking was going on during this period.
Maybe it was because he felt in his heart that truth and fairness were important, or maybe it was because he had seen those five beautiful pictures and wanted to solve the mystery in them.
In any case, Hang Tianyi has solved the case.
Zhang Chenyu nodded: "Get to the bottom of it!"
Hang Tianyi chuckled, this guy is really interesting.
Zhang Chenyu knew his identity and of course he had to get to the bottom of it.
As I spoke, the ship had already docked.
Nangong Qi and Xiao Qi have always been on the shore and have not left.
"Brother Hang, if I can help you, I'll be happy to help you!" Nangong Qi's face was full of sincerity.
Of course Hang Tianyi didn't doubt Nangong Qi's sincerity in helping, but Nangong Qi really couldn't help with this matter.
"Brother Nangong, I will be polite to you? But now, there is really no way to help with this matter!" Hang Tianyi said softly.
Nangong Qi could see that Hang Tianyi did not lie and only really regarded him as a friend.
There was a slight smile on his face, and he bowed with fists in his hands before leaving.
Hang Tianyi stood there for a while, his mind settled down, and he began to think about everything today.
Now, Ye Zhenzhen and Zhou Kui already know that the government is suspicious of them. Even if they make any moves next, they will be very careful and will not reveal their faults so easily.
"I have a headache!" Hang Tianyi rubbed his eyebrows.
"Boss, are you going back to the Yamen?" Li Chunlai asked with some uncertainty.
Hang Tianyi said: "Go back, don't you still want to stay and row?"
Li Chun took a look at Minghu Lake. Those young men were chatting and laughing with the pretty ladies. He was really envious.
Hang Tianyi was also envious, and suddenly he said: "I'm so ordinary, I can't speak..."
"Huh? The boss sings so beautifully, he is far from the number one in Honghuayuan!" Li Chunlai was a little excited.
But Hang Tianyi rolled his eyes. How could he talk? He... the dignified head catcher, KTV Maiba, was competing with a brothel girl?
This... isn't that outrageous!
"Be careful with your words!" Hang Tianyi warned.
Li Chunlai smiled awkwardly and quickly closed his mouth.
Liu Ying, the younger brother, looked at Hang Tianyi. This elder brother...sings really beautifully. What kind of music is that? Why is it so special?
Just as the police officers were thinking wildly, Nangong Qi's subordinate Xiao Qi came back.
"Hang Baotou, we met a corpse on the way back. It was Zhou Kui, the shopkeeper of Zuixian Pavilion. The master of the pavilion was watching over there and asked Xiao Qi to come and report it!" Xiao Qi looked respectful.
What? Zhou Kui is dead? What's going on?
Hang Tianyi's brain circuit really couldn't change.
"Let's go to the scene!" Hang Tianyi took a deep breath, calmed down his shock, and ordered many of his fellow detectives.
As the group of people headed back, they saw a body lying flat on the ground in the woods only three miles away from Minghu Lake. The person standing next to it was Nangong Qi.
Nangong Qi didn't touch the body, just waiting for Hang Tianyi and others to come.
"What's going on, Brother Nangong?" Hang Tianyi asked.
Nangong Qi said: "On the way back, Xiao Qi and I saw Shopkeeper Zhou lying on the ground. We stepped forward to take a look and found that there was no life breath anymore, so we asked Xiao Qi to go over and inform you!"
Hang Tianyi nodded and glanced at Zhou Kui's body.
His eyes were wide open, and he was obviously determined to die.
From the side, he was either killed by someone he knew or was attacked by a sneak attack. It was not clear who the person who took action was.
I went forward and checked the body. Except for a red line on the neck, there were no wounds anywhere else.
Judging from the wound left behind, it was another killing with one knife, and the person who took action had a knife skill so fast that it is simply unimaginable.
Obviously, the person who killed Zhou Kui and the person who killed Wu Qiming were the same person.
This matter has become simpler, but at the same time, it is also more complicated.
It's simple because the murderer is the same. It's complicated because until now, we have no idea who this person is, what his purpose is, what he looks like, whether he is a man or a woman.
"Such a fierce sword energy, I have never seen it before!" Nangong Qi stepped forward and said softly.
He is a master in Yuantai realm, far beyond the comparison of weaklings like Hang Tianyi and others. Even he said so, which shows how high the martial arts skills of the person who took action were.
"Among the martial arts masters that Brother Nangong knows, who are these knife masters?" Hang Tianyi asked.
Nangong Qi was about to speak, but was interrupted by Xiao Qi: "Pavilion Master, since we have reported the case, the next matter will be left to Hang Baotou and the others. We'd better go back quickly. There are still many things to do in the pavilion.
Dealing with it!”
Xiao Qi's words are obviously reminding Nangong Qi that he is a member of the world and cannot get too close to the government, otherwise it will have an impact on Wanxiang Pavilion.
What kind of person is Nangong Qi? If Xiao Qi can see it, he can naturally do it too.
The capital is part of the Jianghu, but it is also at the feet of the emperor. People in the Jianghu here will inevitably have to deal with people in the government.
In fact, everyone understands this truth, but not many can really see it clearly.
It is also because of this that in this capital, there are many Jianghu people coming and going, but the only Jianghu sect that is famous far and near is Wanxiang Pavilion.
The rest of the small fish and shrimps are the kind that the government is too lazy to pay attention to.
Nangong Qi waved his hand, indicating that Xiao Qi didn't need to remind him anything.
He thought for a while and said: "The sword masters, sword gods, and sword demons in the world all have such abilities, but it is impossible for people like them to kill people at will!"
The world is dangerous, but not everyone ignores life.
Real masters will respect life more.
Characters like the Sword Demon and the Sword God are undoubtedly like this.
But it is unclear whether it involves five beautiful pictures, a tempting treasure, or the legendary secret of immortality.
Hang Tianyi cupped his fists and saluted: "Thank you, Master, for informing me!"
"Brother Hang, you're too polite. This is not a favor!" Nangong Qi said.
Hang Tianyi smiled and said: "There are rules in the world. I understand this. Let's stop here for today's business!"
