Because of the lessons learned in Ten Finger Ridge, Lin Xi first took a very careful look around the boat. When he saw that there were no traces of anyone hiding, he began to seriously look at the young man in brocade and the man in black raincoat on the ground.
.
The young man in Jinyi has very handsome features and does not have any cumbersome accessories on his body, giving him an unusually refreshing and clean feeling.
On his silver silk shirt, two carps were embroidered with five-color silk, playing among the lotus leaves, which was very interesting.
But when Lin Xi first saw this handsome young man, she felt unhappy.
He never judged people by their appearance. The displeasure in his heart was because although this young man's features were delicate and handsome, making it impossible to criticize, when he looked at the man in black raincoat in front of him, he looked calm and cold at the moment.
, but it made Lin Xi feel too indifferent.
Probably for fear of losing blood faster after pulling it out, the man in black raincoat did not pull out the crystal steel arrow. The transparent arrow was still stuck in his body, but he was no longer breathing.
For a practitioner, Lin Xi's arrow was not a fatal injury. However, because he did not want to fall into Lin Xi's hands, this cold practitioner squeezed out the last bit of his life force by holding his breath and diving for a long time.
Do you want to come back to life, or do you want this young man in Jinyi to avenge him?
…
Lin Xi looked at the young man in Jinyi with a dull look, but the young man in Jinyi also looked at Lin Xi and Mr. Zhang.
Before Lin Xi could say anything, the young man in brocade raised his eyebrows slightly and asked quietly: "Who are you, and what do you want to do when you break into my boat?"
Lin Xi also raised his brows, nodded at the body of the man in black raincoat in front of him, looked at the indifferent eyes of the young man in brocade clothes, and said: "You asked them to kill me, and you want to ask who I am?"
The young man in Jinyi glanced at Lin Xi, suddenly laughed, and said, "I think you may have misunderstood. I don't know this person."
"Of course you can say that, but your expression is too calm, so it seems too fake."
Lin Xi looked at the young man in brocade clothes and said slowly: "There are so many bays along the Xizi River. Why did he come here instead of the near ones? There are so many boats here, why did he come to this one? He
I risked my life just to let you know what kind of person I am and to let you see this arrow clearly, but I'm afraid he didn't expect that his loyalty and death would cost you even a trace of sadness and sympathy.
Less than."
Lin Xi's every question was very powerful, like a sharp sword pointed at the heart, but this young man in brocade clothes still smiled calmly and said: "You said that my expression is too calm...it may be because of other reasons.
"
"What other reason is that?" Lin Xi glanced at Mr. Zhang next to him, then looked at the body of the man in black raincoat on the ground, and sneered: "Is it because someone else wants to frame you?"
The young man in Jinyi smiled gently, but his face was serious, and he said in a cold voice: "From the beginning to the end, you broke into my ship, and I didn't even tell you who you are. Even if there are other reasons, why should I?"
Tell you?"
Lin Xi was not angry. He found that after he came out of Lulin Town and regarded himself as a traveler, many people in his eyes were like actors in a play.
He didn't say anything, but took out his arrest badge so that the young man in brocade clothes could see it clearly.
"So it's for arrest and investigation." The young man in Jinyi laughed, nodded at the body of the man in black raincoat on the ground, and said, "So this is the criminal you are looking for?"
Lin Xi didn't reply, just looked at the young man in brocade clothes and said, "What's your name and where do you live?"
The young man in Jinyi looked at Lin Xi and shook his head, showing some mocking expression, "The arrest in Yanlai Town is Mr. Zhao. No matter where you are arrested or whether you are really arrested, I am afraid you have no right to arrest in Yanlai Town."
Are you going to ask me about my origins?"
"Then please follow us back to Donggang Town." Lin Xi stepped forward, lifted the body of the man in black raincoat with one hand, looked at the young man in brocade clothes, and said seriously: "Since you and I will tell Yun Qinlu, you can
You should know that when arresting a murderer, the person involved can be taken back to the local arrest room for questioning.
The young man in Jinyi laughed: "So you think I am related to this case?"
Lin Xi looked at the young man in brocade calmly and said, "If you continue to talk nonsense and resist the law, I will tie you up immediately and take you back."
"You want to tie me up? Okay, very good, I will go back to Donggang Town with you." The young man in Jinyi laughed angrily, narrowed his eyes slightly, walked out from Lin Xi and Mr. Zhang on his own with his head held high, and walked towards the boat.
head.
"Our ship is behind."
Lin Xi said as she looked at the young man in brocade clothes walking proudly towards the bow of the ship.
The young man in brocade clothes was stunned for a moment, and his complexion suddenly turned the color of pig liver.
…
"So what if you are a practitioner?"
Turning around and walking back to the stern of the boat, under Lin Xi's watchful eyes, he jumped onto the small boat anchored by Mr. Zhang with a bamboo pole under the boat. The expression of the young man in Jinyi returned to normal. He looked at Lin Xi and sneered, his smile containing very complicated emotions.
, some pity, some emotion, and some undisguised regret: "No matter how powerful it is, it is just an arrest. An arrest must have evidence to solve the case. I heard before that a young man named Ren came to Donggang Town.
He was arrested, and he was very unlucky. He encountered a murder case when he arrived, and was given a seven-day deadline to solve the case... Seven days later, I will still be on the river, but I am afraid it will be difficult for this arrest to continue."
Lin Xi ignored the young man in brocade clothes. He just pulled out the crystal steel arrow from the man in black raincoat and began to look at the man's body carefully.
There was nothing on this man's body. When he finished the inspection and stood up, he looked at the practitioner's blank face. He shook his head and said: "You are a hero, but you are used by a villain."
.”
"You don't need to use any words to deliberately provoke me." When the young man in Jinyi heard Lin Xi's words, he narrowed his eyes and said, "The more you want to see my anger, the less likely I will fulfill your wish. As for why
, you will naturally know it when you arrive in Donggang Town."
Mr. Zhang never spoke from the time he entered the boat until he started holding the pole to control the boat.
At this moment, he nodded to Lin Xi and said: "If his Qi and blood are not coagulated, he is probably not a cultivator yet."
Lin Xi also nodded and said: "She looks calm on the outside, and her feet are shaking even when she jumps off the boat. Of course she is not a practitioner."
Hearing Lin Xi's words, the young man's face froze and he wanted to get angry, but he held it back.
At this moment, Mr. Zhang turned around slightly, looked at the young man in Jinyi and said seriously: "I'm not arresting you...so I don't need any evidence. If you want to frame us today, I
On the guarantee of my life, even if Mr. Lin cannot be responsible for the arrest in seven days, I will never let you have an easy time."
"King Zhang Long, I know you are also a practitioner." The young man in Jinyi hesitated for a moment, but then sneered again. He looked at Mr. Zhang and said: "But Lu Dongling, there are still many people who can hurt you.
, you shouldn’t have forgotten how your injury came about.”
Mr. Zhang glanced at the young man in brocade clothes and said nothing more. He just stirred the river water with his pennant and rowed a small boat like an arrow from the string.
Lin Xi sat down on the bow of the boat, scooped up a basin of river water and washed his face to make himself more awake. He frowned, and after thinking for a while, he said to Mr. Zhang: "I want to go to Hengda first.
Rongchang's big ship, when the time comes, please take this man to stay in the water for a while, sir, and wait for me to come out."
"Okay, I'll take you there."
Mr. Zhang also pondered for a moment and said, "But you have to hurry up. I also have to deal with some things first."
…
…
A small boat followed a current and swept into Donggang Port.
Looking at the two Hengrongchang ships with the lights still on, Lin Xi turned around, bowed to Mr. Zhang behind him who was holding a pole, and said, "I'll have a drink with you later, sir."
Mr. Zhang nodded in return, but his expression was a little solemn.
Lin Xi's eyes stayed on the thick cables hanging from the Hengrongchang ship in front. Looking at the tall building-like hull, he didn't stop at all. He also put the morning sword in his hand into the small boat, holding a black raincoat in one hand.
The man's body jumped up.
His free left hand grabbed hold of the cable, and his whole body kept jumping upwards. In an instant, he deliberately landed heavily on the bow of the ship with a thud.
"I'm Lin Xi, and I want to meet Song Chengpeng and Song Guandai."
As more than a dozen crew members rushed over quickly, his voice rang out on the two large ships, and more lights instantly lit up.
At this time, the news that the new arrester was assassinated in the Linjiang Building had already spread. There were still several bodies lying on the platform of the Linjiang Building, so the arresting officers and some officials from the arresting room had gathered by the river.
No one knew where Lin Xi had gone at this moment... Because of what had happened that night, Lin Xi's voice at this moment naturally carried some kind of soul-stirring power.
Moreover, in his hand, he was holding the body of a man in black raincoat.
Song Chengpeng was obviously still awake. Following the sound of footsteps as fast as raindrops, he emerged from another boat, surrounded by a group of people, and quickly arrived in front of Lin Xi via the sampan.
"Lin Ti, what are you doing on our Hengrongchang ship late at night?" The businessman was most afraid of encountering some bad luck. At this moment, he saw Lin Xi carrying a corpse onto the ship. This man from Hengrongchang's two ships
The manager's round face suddenly turned green, suppressing the anger in his heart, he said in a deep voice.
Lin Xi glanced at Song Chengpeng, who had an extremely ugly face, and said: "I just seized your Heng Rongchang's ship, and I am about to be assassinated tonight. Do you think it is too much of a coincidence? And these people who assassinated me should all be together."
They are soldiers who have been in the army for a long time. I am afraid that only Heng Rongchang on this Xizi River has the ability to hire these soldiers. Now that I am here, should you give me an explanation?"
For Heng Rongchang, this itself was an unreasonable disaster, and now he suddenly encountered the other party carrying the body on the boat, coupled with such arrogant accusations, Song Chengpeng, who was usually very good-tempered, was suddenly trembling with anger. He could no longer hold back and stretched out his arms.
He pointed at Lin Xi with his slightly rounded finger, and said angrily, "You...you're just farting!"
As soon as these words came out, not only the people in Heng Rongchang on both ships were stunned, but even Song Chengpeng himself was stunned. He did not expect that he would curse such a word, but when had Heng Rongchang been bullied by such an official?
At this point, thinking that he had already cursed, the supervisor simply went out and said no more, "You are a newbie here, what do you know... I have eaten more salt than you have ever eaten.
There is still a lot of rice, but you dare to talk nonsense in front of me, and you are full of fart words..."
"Precisely because we don't know much, I would like to ask Song Guandai to explain clearly who else can hire these soldiers besides you." But Lin Xi was not angry, and just looked at Song Chengpeng calmly, "Otherwise I
Not only will the ship be detained, but if I have any suspicion today and feel that they look like assassins, I will take them all back to the arrest room."
"You..." Song Chengpeng couldn't curse anymore. He looked at Lin Xi for a long time, and finally gritted his teeth with anger and helplessness, and said sternly: "You offend us, Heng Rongchang, just to force us to investigate for you.
This case...well, I can only tell you one thing now. Someone saw the floating corpse and reported it to the arresting house in Qinghe Town. As for what other means you want to use to force me to wait...then the only way is to break the net.
