I have a book of salvation

At midnight, the city was full of wind and snow.

South of Weishui City, the lights are brightly lit.

These fearless Jianghu gangsters were really frightened by the death of five members of the Blackwater Gang.

In addition, during this period, the Zhengqing Gang and the Blackwater Gang were wary of each other and opposed to each other, and the atmosphere in the entire old street in the south of the city became tense.

Zhengqing Gang, in the attic, Xie Qing closed his eyes and sat on the floor, as if he was asleep.

It seemed like he was resting, but also like he was waiting for someone.

Jianghu people in the courtyard outside the house passed by and took a look, not only smacking their lips.

——The boss has been doing this every night for several days, and he doesn’t know what he is doing.

But even if they had questions, these charlatans didn't dare to ask any more questions and turned around and left.

But what he didn't notice was that as soon as he walked away, there was a figure in black clothes and black facial makeup standing at the door.

quietly.

Yu Chen walked into the room.

Xie Qing finally opened his eyes.

The person he was waiting for has arrived!

"senior."

As if he breathed a sigh of relief, Xie Qing greeted him respectfully, "There are some clues to what you told me back then."

Yu Chen nodded, sat down on a chair, and waited for the rest.

Xie Qing took out a stack of paper from the drawer and said: "I sent people to check the lists you gave me - it's strange. Fifteen years ago, these people were indeed in Weishui, but in your case After the case mentioned, these people died, disappeared, and moved away. Almost a year after the case, there was no one left. "

After hearing this, Yu Chen frowned slightly.

These lists are the witnesses who testified at the secret trial in the coroner's revolving door.

Judging from Dead Man's Mouth's memory, their testimonies at that time proved that Yu Chen's father and mother were the murderers of that massacre.

So Yu Chen wanted to get some information from them, such as who was the mastermind behind asking them to testify.

But I didn't expect that after fifteen years, not one of these guys was left.

Is it the mastermind who killed people and silenced them?

But if this is the case, why can Dead Mouth live for so many years?

Because he doesn't know the true identity of the mastermind behind the scenes?

Or is it because he had experience as a government coroner?

No one knows.

But what is certain is that this road is broken.

Yu Chen felt a little disappointed, but there was no emotion on his face.

Xie Qing tentatively raised his head and glanced at the grimace mask. He seemed to only see cold iron and stone without any reaction. He quickly buried his head and continued:

“But I found something about the case you asked me to investigate fifteen years ago.

At that time, because the perpetrator was a member of the Yamen, in order to protect the reputation of the Yamen, the trial was held in secret and was not made public.

But I still have some connections in the yamen over the years. After inquiries from various parties, I still heard some information, enough to piece together some fragments of the past. "

Immediately afterwards, Xie Qing told the news he had learned.

As a result, a case buried in dust slowly unfolded in front of Yu Chen.

Let's say that fifteen years ago, the county magistrate had just taken office and had two generals under his command, one bright and one dark.

The wise man captures Yu Tiesheng, the boss of the house, who hates evil as much as he hates his enemies, has strong martial arts skills, is upright and selfless. No matter whether they are children of rich families or heirs of officials, as long as they commit a crime, no one can escape.

As for the Dark One, it has always been a legend. No one knows who he is or what he looks like.

All I know is that the county magistrate had just taken office at that time, and Yu Yin, the previous county magistrate, was causing trouble overtly and covertly, causing chaos in Weishui and extreme chaos.

But one day, overnight, there was a heavy flow of blood, and all those guys were honest; so there was a rumor that there was a guy who was doing some shameful things for the county magistrate at that time, and he was called "Scavenger".

It was against this background that one rainy night fifteen years ago, the Chen family, a wealthy businessman family in the Tianqiao area, was massacred. Twelve members of the family, including a dog, were not left alive!

At the crime scene, there were no other traces except a pair of copper maces.

Finally, after investigation, it was discovered that this was the weapon used by the then house arrest chief Yu Tiesheng and his wife.

Such a tragedy of annihilation naturally shocked the entire Wei River.

The Yamen immediately took action, conducting autopsies, arresting people, interrogating, and bringing them to court!

The whole process took no more than three days before the truth came to light.

The former Weishui chief arrested Yu Tiesheng and his wife, who committed a massacre. The evidence was conclusive and they were sentenced to be beheaded!

——Of course, these are all appearances, and they are all things that everyone in the yamen superficially agrees with.

But in fact, Xie Qing found many doubtful points during the investigation.

One, motivation.

There must be a motive for murdering, whether it is for money and life, or for murder and silence, or for love and hatred. Even the perverted murderer kills his own kind in order to satisfy his own twisted desires.

However, it can be said that Yu Tiesheng and the thirteen members of the Chen family have no conflicts, no emotional disputes of interest, and judging from the personalities of Yu Tiesheng and his wife, they are not the kind of bloodthirsty lunatics.

Yu Tiesheng had no motive to exterminate the Chen family.

On the contrary, Yu Tiesheng was very kind to the Chen family!

Because before the Chen family was wiped out, they were already involved in a case. After their daughter died, it was Yu Tiesheng who caught the murderer and allowed the Chen family's daughter to rest in peace.

Second, it is abnormal.

At that time, there was a rumor in the Wei River that Yu Tiesheng, the chief arrester, was a master of martial arts and was invulnerable to iron and stone. He was already an innate martial arts master!

And what about the Chen family?

Except for some money, I have nothing.

Even ignoring the motive, Yu Tiesheng was crazy and wanted to kill someone, so there was no need to use his and his wife's maces as murder weapons - mace weapons were already rare, so they were naturally easier to target after committing a crime.

To take another ten thousand steps back, even if he is really crazy, he will use his mace to kill his wife together!

There was no way he would have lost his mind and left the murder weapon at the scene - after all, he was the chief police officer of Weishui and had solved countless cases. How could he make such a low-level mistake? !

"Fifteen years ago, I was not in Weishui."

After recounting everything he found, Xie Qing frowned slightly and expressed his opinion: "So we can only piece together the truth of the case based on the fragments of words that have been passed down to this day - in short, I think that Yu Tiejie is not the real one." murderer."

After listening, after a long time, Yu Chen let out a long breath.

Seeing this, Xie Qing's expression suddenly froze.

——Back on Fanghua Mountain, when the senior before him killed the big insect, he also made the same move.

The dense white mist overflowed from under the grimace, resembling a ghost.

So it should be obvious that this senior's mood is not calm.

Thinking of this, Xie Qing lowered his posture and added:

"In addition, I also found some other things. It is said that Yu Tiequan had a disciple at that time who also worked in the arresting house at that time.

This man was originally a wandering orphan, and was later adopted and raised by Yu Tiequan.

He was also respectful to Yu Tieqin, and he even arranged the Yu and his wife's food, clothing, housing and transportation. He also has the key to the Yu and his wife's residence. "

Yu Chen narrowed his eyes and said, "Continue talking."

"The following are all my speculations. If I am wrong, senior, please don't blame me."

Xie Qing took a deep breath and said:

"I also know a lot of people who practice martial arts. Let's ignore those who are good at boxing and kicking. As for those who dance with guns and sticks, they basically regard weapons as important as life.

And for a master like Yu Tieqin, this is probably even more true. So if he was not the murderer, why were his and his wife's mace left at the crime scene? I guess, the only way is... to put the blame on! Someone deliberately stole his weapon right at the scene of the crime and framed him!

But Yu Tieqin was so gifted that it would be a fantasy for ordinary people to break into his house and steal the copper mace. Only those who are close to him and acquainted with him can do it! For example...disciples who take care of food, clothing and daily life? "

Having said this, it was impossible for Yu Chen not to understand what Xie Qing meant.

He nodded and asked succinctly: "Who?"

"That disciple is now the chief arrester of Weishui—Xiao Zihua!"
