Hua Bushi was skilled in medical skills. When he first saw Mr. Ma Da's face, he knew that he was dead.
In an instant, Hua Bushi understood the intention of those gangsters who pretended to attack Nanquanzhuang. Their intention was not to occupy the village, but to kill Mr. Ma Da!
The masters of the four sects were transferred to the four walls of the village to defend against the enemy, and they pretended to be Leng Lianshan to appear to cause chaos and attract everyone's attention. In fact, they were all designed to create opportunities for assassins to sneak in and assassinate. This was originally a strategy to lure the tiger away from the mountain!
Even the empty Nanquan Village was probably part of the opponent's strategy. The residents of the village had already received instructions from the underworld and went out to avoid trouble, so such an empty village was left behind.
Since Mr. Ma Da has been killed, it is natural for Wu Zhengdao to convene everyone, but why did the incense master who came to deliver the message just now be evasive and only said that the head of the family convened a meeting and called Master Hua Bushi and Huang Lian to come.
But don’t explain the situation directly?
Hua Bushi turned his eyes and saw Hai Hongzhu sitting next to the big sandalwood table, and he was suddenly shocked.
Hai Hongzhu was sitting on a chair, biting her lips, with a sad look on her face, and tears in her beautiful eyes. The two "Nanhai Sect" disciples standing behind her had their long swords unsheathed and in their hands.
Here, this situation is like guarding a prisoner!
Hua Bushi's face suddenly sank. He stared at Wu Zhengdao and said, "What does Master Wu mean by this?"
Wu Zhengdao did not change his tone and said: "Young Master Hua must have seen it too. Mr. Ma Da was assassinated while we were guarding the village. The matter was so important that I had to send someone to guard the suspect."
"Suspicion? What does it mean?" Hua Bushi said.
Wu Zhengdao said: "When Mr. Ma Da was killed, he and Mrs. Hua were the only two people in this ancient ancestral hall. Mrs. Hua was the biggest suspect in Mr. Ma's death!"
"You're talking nonsense! I don't want to kill anyone!" It was Hai Hongzhu who shouted. When she saw Hua Bushi coming, the tears in her eyes could not help but flow down. Although this evil young master is very hateful, but now, it seems that
Only he can save himself.
Hua Bushi frowned, but did not answer for a moment. Instead, he turned his gaze to Mr. Ma Da who was sitting on the chair. Master Huang Lian, who entered the ancestral hall with him, also came close at this time and was leaning down.
Exploring carefully.
"Mr. Ma Da was wounded by a sword. It penetrated from the back and penetrated the heart. He has already passed away." Master Huang Lian looked at it for a long time before straightening up, sighing and saying slowly.
Hua Bushi walked a few steps forward and came to the chair where Mr. Ma Da was sitting. However, he was not in a hurry to check the body. Instead, he walked around the chair, bent down and squatted on the ground, and carefully looked around.
ground.
"What are you doing? Mr. Ma Da was killed. Look at what he's doing on the floor. Is there anything strange on the ground?" It was Yuan Gongyi, the head of the "Danxia Sect" who was shouting.
Hua Bushi's eyes turned sharply and he said: "There is nothing unusual about this place, but this matter is so strange, and you suspect that my wife has committed murder, I have to take a closer look. Is there anything wrong?"
Yuan Gongyi wanted to say more, but when he saw Wu Zhengdao waved his hand to him, he restrained himself and remained silent.
Hua Bushi unhurriedly explored every part of the ground around the chair, then walked to the chair to inspect Mr. Ma Da's body.
Mr. Ma Da was sitting on the chair, and two wounds on the front and back could be seen from the outside of his body. The wound on the back was slightly larger, just located in the gap between the carvings on the back of the chair. Master Huang Lian's judgment was not wrong. Judging from these wounds, It can only be caused by a sword that penetrates the back, penetrates the body, and exits the chest.
Hua Bushi stretched out his finger, dipped a little blood on the wound, put it in front of his nose and smelled it. The blood was warm and had not yet condensed, indicating that Mr. Ma Da was killed less than a stick of incense.
After doing all this, Hua Bushi straightened up and said word for word: "Hongzhu was not the murderer of Mr. Ma Da. You have all made a mistake."
Yuan Gongyi glared and said, "It's not true if you say it's not true. What evidence is there?"
Hua Bushi said: "The sword that killed Mr. Ma Da passed through his body, but not much blood flowed out of the wound. Do you know why?"
Yuan Gongyi was a little speechless, and Wu Zhengdao on the side replied: "It should be because the sword stabbed extremely fast. Although it passed through the heart, the sword was so fast that the wound shrank and closed instantly, so there was not a large amount of wounds." Blood spurted out."
The martial arts of the "Hainan School" are already famous for their 36-step "Quick Wind Sword". No one knows the characteristics of wounds caused by extremely fast sword speeds better than Wu Zhengdao.
Hua Bushi said: "That's right. This sword comes out of the body, not to mention how much wrist strength is required. The speed of the sword alone to cause such a wound would not be possible if it is not a master of swordsmanship. Hongzhu is a woman , and my martial arts skills are not strong, so I definitely can’t stab him with such a sword.”
But Yuan Gongyi snorted and said: "Who said that women have no wrist strength, and who knows that her martial arts is not strong? Based on this alone, I am afraid it cannot prove that she is not the murderer!"
Hai Hongzhu's swordsmanship and martial arts are really not strong. Hua Bushi and everyone in the "Evil Dog Sect" certainly know that, but outsiders don't know. After all, the strength of martial arts can be deliberately pretended, and a person who doesn't know it can It is indeed difficult for a martial arts master to pretend to be a master, but it is very easy for a martial arts master to pretend that he does not know martial arts.
Hua Bushi knew that if the other party did not want to believe it, it would not be clear at all to judge the level of martial arts, so he added: "Okay, even if I can't prove it, what evidence do you have to identify her as the murderer? Even if Ma Da Only Hongzhu was in this room when Mr. was stabbed, but anyone can enter and exit this ancestral hall. Do you know that the murderer would not sneak in to kill and then escape?"
Wu Zhengdao smiled coldly and said: "Young Master Hua is right, but that's the problem. We believe that Mrs. Hua killed Mr. Ma Da because she was the only one who could do it at that time, and no one else could enter this ancestral hall. reason."
Hua Bushi said: "Oh?"
Wu Zhengdao said: "This ancestral hall has no windows, only two doors at the front and back. At that time, Master Miaozhen, Miss Yi Ruoying and several disciples of 'Jingci Lin'an' were guarding the door of the ancestral hall. If the murderer sneaked in from the outside, , it is impossible to escape their eyes, and when they heard the shouts and came in, there was no one else in the hall except Mrs. Hua. Is this evidence enough?"
Hua Bushi was startled when he heard this. If what Wu Zhengdao said is true, then it is indeed an irrefutable evidence, which is much stronger than what he said before about the level of martial arts!
This ancient ancestral hall is surrounded by very open spaces. As long as foreign enemies approach, they will be immediately discovered by the people guarding the door. This is why Wu Zhengdao previously chose this place as a temporary meeting place, and was arranging everyone.
When he divided the roads to guard the village, he specially arranged for Miao Zhen, Yi Ruoying and others to stay behind to guard the village. It was a foolproof move. As long as there were people guarding the door, if the assassin could sneak in and kill without being discovered, how could he sneak in and kill people quietly?
Even Hua Bushi himself couldn't believe it when he left.
This is a fact and cannot be overturned by any speculation!
Hua Bushi's eyes flickered, but he glanced at the four walls and ceiling of this ancestral hall.
Wu Zhengdao seemed to have guessed what the young master was thinking, and said: "Master Hua, do you suspect that there is a secret passage in this ancestral hall? Before you came back just now, we have carefully inspected this room and found that this room is made of bluestone."
It is completed. The four walls, ceiling and floor are all solid, without any mechanism. If Master Hua doesn't believe it, you can check it again."
Hua Bushi turned around and winked at Meng Huan behind him. Meng Huan immediately walked towards the wall and began to inspect the wall. Meng Huan, who was born in Qianhuafang, was very experienced in ambushing various agencies. Hua Bushi
Shi believed that if there really was a secret door in this house, he would be able to detect it.
Seeing Meng Huan tapping on the wall with his palm and listening to the sound, Hua Bushi suddenly said: "Master Wu, you are sure that my wife killed Mr. Ma Da, but where is the murder weapon? You can
Is there an explanation?”
Wu Zhengdao said: "Of course."
He immediately turned around and said, "Bring that murderous weapon up!"
A disciple of the "Nanhai Sect" came forward, holding a long sword in his hand. He walked to the table, placed the sword on the table, and then stepped back.
Wu Zhengdao said: "This sword fell in the corner. Master Miaozhen found it after entering the house. I believe it is the murder weapon. Master Hua, please take a look."
Hua Bushi walked to the table, reached out and picked up the long sword, and looked at it intently.
This is a very ordinary long sword, with a blue steel blade, a brass hilt, and a willow hilt, but the sword spike has been removed. The sword is three feet long, and the blade is one inch and six minutes wide, which is the standard length of a sword.
, also consistent with the width of the wound on Mr. Ma Da’s body, and the little blood stain on the blade can prove that this sword is a murder weapon.
This kind of long sword can be seen everywhere in the world. At least three or four of the ten sword wielders use this kind of sword. The "Nanhai Sect" is originally a sword sect, and there are many disciples under it.
The sword of the young man is similar to it. The sword Hai Hongzhu carries with him is also of this style.
Wu Zhengdao said: "This sword also belongs to Mrs. Hua. The evidence of her murder is so conclusive, what else can Master Hua say?"
Hai Hongzhu shouted: "You are talking nonsense, that sword is not mine at all!"
Wu Zhengdao's eyes flashed coldly and said: "I remember that you have always carried this sword with you. Many people here have seen it with their own eyes. What's the use of denying it now?"
Hai Hongzhu said: "The blade of my sword is not so bright and new. It is obviously someone else's sword!"
Yuan Gongyi on the side sneered: "Your sword has never been drawn out before, how do others know how new it is? Judging from the hilt, there is no doubt that it is this sword. You'd better stop making excuses. It's better to confess honestly and save yourself the trouble."
