Longevity starts with strengthening the internal organs
Chapter 119: Take action (Part 2)
Lu Jicheng's reaction was not unpleasant.
Almost as soon as the sword rushed into the room, he kicked over the table in front of him, and the wine bottle and wine glass fell directly to the floor to block the sword.
At the same time, he was like a civet cat, running toward the window at extremely fast speeds to escape.
The whole process can be described as a rabbit rising and a falcon falling, extremely simple.
If it had been anyone else, he might have actually escaped.
But Zhao Ya knew that Lu Jicheng was extremely good at lightness kung fu, so he was well prepared.
As soon as he rushed to the window, a lime bag was thrown in and exploded.
Lime dust filled the room.
Caught off guard, Lu Jicheng's eyes were instantly fascinated and it was difficult to open them for a while.
But even so, he still did not give up resistance. Instead, he held his breath, tapped his toes, and rose into the sky, trying to break through the thin layer of tiles above his head to escape.
But he is fast, Zhao Ya is faster than him.
Almost as soon as he took off, Zhao Ya rushed forward, put two hands on his shoulders, and instantly activated his big stone slammer, throwing him to the ground.
Zhao Ya did not dare to use the Diamond Fist, fearing that Lu Jicheng would be killed with another punch.
He even used the big monument slammer with restraint, but even so, he still hit Lu Jicheng hard.
A shallow pit was made on the ground. Lu Jicheng was lying in the pit, vomiting blood, and had no strength to struggle anymore.
But Zhao Ya is still worried. This guy is full of tricks. What if he runs away again?
So Zhao Ya rushed forward, put the meteorite knife directly on his throat, and then said coldly.
"Don't move and watch your head."
Only then did Lu Jicheng see clearly that the person who attacked him was actually a young boy.
He said repeatedly: "I won't move, I won't move. Young hero, why do you suddenly come to deal with me, an old man who is dying?"
Zhao Ya said lightly: "Are you still going to pretend to be stupid at this time? Jade Butterfly!"
Lu Jicheng's heart skipped a beat, as the thing he was most worried about had happened, but he had been traveling around the world for so many years, and his several narrow escape experiences had already tempered his mind to be extremely tough.
So he didn't show any abnormality on the surface, but instead called Chongtianqu.
"Young hero, you have admitted the wrong person. I am just a bad old man who works as a gatekeeper at a martial arts gym. I am even lame in my legs. How can I be the infamous Jade Butterfly?"
As he spoke, he observed the expression of the knife-wielding boy, but he soon became disappointed.
Because when faced with his rhetoric, Zhao Ya didn't even blink an eyelid, but instead smiled coldly.
"If it's not Jade Butterfly, then why are you running?"
Lu Jicheng was well prepared for this and immediately said: "Young hero, I was staying at home well. If you suddenly barge in with a knife, everyone must run away."
"It sounds reasonable, but what's the point of your lightness kung fu?"
"There is no rule that the one who knows Qing Kung Fu is Jade Butterfly. I am a gatekeeper at the martial arts gym, so it is reasonable to practice both Kung Fu when I have nothing to do."
"Well, it is indeed very reasonable. It seems that I have arrested the wrong person?" Zhao Ya said coldly.
Lu Jicheng trembled all over and quickly forced a smile and said: "No...that's not what I meant. The young hero came here to catch the flower-picking thief. This feeling is very respectable. But I am really not that Lao Shizi Jade Butterfly!"
If it had been anyone else, they might have been a little shaken by what they said.
But Zhao Ya knew he had found the right person from the moment he entered the door and slashed out the first sword, and was dodged by Lu Jicheng.
In fact, the stabbing just now was largely for testing.
Zhao Ya was also afraid of wrongly accusing a good person, so if Lu Jicheng had been an ordinary old man and hadn't dodged, he would have stopped the attack in the end.
But Lu Jicheng not only hid, but he also hid very quickly.
The movement that is as fast as a raccoon cat is simply breathtaking.
At that time, Zhao Ya knew that he was definitely the Jade Butterfly.
Because he is lame, left-handed, and in his forties or fifties, he meets all of these characteristics, plus now he has the unexplained Qinggong movement and his guilty conscience just now.
If one or two of these things could be described as coincidences, but with so many coincidences put together, no one would believe that he was innocent.
As for his sophistry, Zhao Ya had already expected it.
Such people will not readily admit guilt without conclusive evidence.
So when faced with his last words, Zhao Ya ignored them and just said, "You two, come in."
Big Eyed Lantern and the little boy from before both walked in.
There was still excitement on Big Eyed Lantern's face.
It was him who had just followed Zhao Ya's instructions to ambush the lime bag outside the window and throw it in. That feeling was something he would never forget.
When he saw the little boy who bumped into him in the rain, Lu Jicheng's expression changed.
He originally thought that this young man just noticed some clues and came to question him.
But he didn't expect that the little boy he met during the day was also his.
If that's the case, wouldn't it prove that he has been secretly investigating himself?
"Master Zhao, what are your orders?" Big Eyed Deng and the little boy named Er Qiangzi asked in unison.
Er Qiangzi stared at Lu Jicheng who was slumped on the ground, and felt very happy when he saw blood dripping from the corner of his mouth.
He still remembered the slap he received on the street today.
Now seeing this old bastard being beaten by Master Zhao until he vomited blood, he naturally felt very happy.
"You two, search his room. Remember to search it carefully. Don't miss anything."
"clear!"
The two nodded happily, and then started searching through the boxes and cabinets.
Lu Jicheng sat on the ground and watched quietly, with no emotion on his face.
There were only two rooms in the room he lived in, and there was little furniture, so Big Eyed Deng and Er Qiangzi quickly looked through them.
"Master Zhao, look, this was dug out from under this old bastard's quilt." Er Qiangzi walked over with a red bellyband full of disgust on his face.
Before Zhao Ya could ask, Lu Jicheng explained.
"Master Zhao, I admit that I stole this bellyband from my neighbor, Widow Li, but I, a bachelor without a wife, did such a thing. Although it is offensive, it is not unethical."
Zhao Ya had no expression on his face and ignored Lu Jicheng's explanation. He just said, "Continue searching!"
He could see that Lu Jicheng was a little confident. After all, for such an old gangster, handling the case cleanly and finishing it was the most basic quality.
But Zhao Ya also believed that he would never be able to leave no traces, so he added another sentence.
"This search focuses on knives, especially carving knives and knives that are not common in ordinary households."
As soon as these words came out, Lu Jicheng, who was originally confident, finally changed his expression.
"okay!"
After having a specific search target, the search becomes much easier.
Big Eyed Deng and Er Qiangzi searched more carefully this time, not even sparing the latrine.
Soon, Big Eyed Lantern ran in happily holding a short-handled knife.
"Master Zhao, look, this guy hid the knife on the ceiling of the hut."
Zhao Ya reached out and took it, finally feeling confident.
Because this knife is obviously often used by a left-handed person, and it can be seen that it is used for carving.
Zhao Ya lowered his head and asked, "Jade Butterfly, what else do you have to say?"
"Haha, can you identify me as Jade Butterfly with just a knife? If you tell the big men in the government, do you think they will believe it?" Of course Lu Jicheng was not willing to confess easily.
Zhao Ya naturally understood this, so he smiled and said: "It seems you are still not convinced. Okay, then I will tell you why I can identify you as Jade Butterfly based on this knife."
"Every time you commit a crime, you will leave a jade butterfly as your mark. The same was true for the case at Aunt Xue's house a few days ago. I saw the jade butterfly at that time. Although the material was ordinary and the carving was ordinary, I found it A very interesting place.”
"That is, the lines of this jade butterfly are very different from ordinary people. If ordinary people use a knife to carve, the lines should be shallow on the left and deep on the right. This is because ordinary people use their right hands."
"But the lines of the jade butterfly are lighter on the right and darker on the left, which proves that the sculptor is left-handed."
"Then I went to the government again and looked at the jade butterflies you left behind when you committed the crime. The results were the same. What else do you have to say?"
Lu Jicheng rolled his eyes and said, "There are so many left-handers, why do you think it's me?"
"Of course there are many left-handers, but you are the only one who can carve and is a cripple. At the same time, you are the only one who has good light skills."
Lu Jicheng sneered, "It's a wonderful inference, but it still can't prove that I am Jade Butterfly, and you can't take away the reward of more than a thousand taels."
"You're right. Even if you are the most suspect now, there is no real evidence. If you rely solely on my speculation, it will be difficult to convince others and you will not get the reward."
"Humph!" Lu Jicheng smiled proudly.
But soon he stopped laughing, because Zhao Ya said: "But it will be different after having this knife."
"It's only been a few days since Aunt Xue's accident. I believe you carved the jade butterfly not long ago. There must still be jade chips left on the knife. Just take some and compare them with the jade butterfly to see if they are consistent."
Cold sweat appeared on Lu Jicheng's forehead.
"This is not over yet. After all, the material of the jade butterfly is very ordinary, so this alone is not enough. But you forgot one thing, that is, the blade has its own mark."
"Your carving knife must have been used for a long time. The blade is very worn. In addition, your knife-using habits are completely different, so the lines it carves will be very unique. Then you just need to compare the lines... What else can I say?”
Lu Jicheng's psychological defense finally collapsed.
He looked at this young man who was calm and composed from beginning to end, as if he had a pearl of wisdom in his hand.
"Yes, I am indeed Jade Butterfly, but didn't you catch me just for money? To tell you the truth, I have money, so as long as you are willing to let me go, I can give you a sum of money that far exceeds the reward. How about ?”
Zhao Ya raised his eyebrows and his eyes seemed to brighten a lot, "Oh? How much money can you give me?"
"How about two thousand taels of gold? This money is much more than the bounty. Are you willing?" Seeing that Zhao Ya seemed to be impressed, Lu Jicheng said hurriedly.
"I'm willing, but looking at how poor you are, it's hard for me to believe that you have two thousand taels of gold." Zhao Ya frowned.
"You don't understand this. I'm just a concierge. Even if I have money, I can't show it, otherwise it will arouse others' suspicion. So in the past few years, I have hidden all the money I have accumulated from committing crimes. place."
"Where?"
"Haha, as long as you are willing to let me go, I will tell you." Lu Jicheng smiled confidently.
In his opinion, since this young man came for the bounty, his words would definitely impress him.
After all, who can have trouble with money?
Unexpectedly, after hearing what he said, Zhao Ya nodded and then shouted outside.
"Du Tou and all the class leaders, did you hear what I just said?"
Du Hu's laughter came from outside, "Don't worry, Mr. Zhao, we can all hear it clearly."
The smile on Lu Jicheng's face became stiff.
Because he saw a group of people wearing police uniforms coming in from outside. The first few people were all wearing official uniforms, and their positions were obviously not low.
His eyelids were beating wildly and he looked at Zhao Ya in disbelief.
"you……."
Zhao Ya smiled slightly, "I informed Du Tou and the others in advance before coming here, but I just didn't let them in. What else do you have to say now?"
"Don't you want those two thousand taels of gold?" Lu Jicheng shouted.
"Of course I want it, but I think a mere two thousand taels of gold is nothing compared to catching you and avenging those women who died tragically." Zhao Ya said with a smile.
"You bastard..." Lu Jicheng was almost going crazy.
How did he know that this seemingly innocent young man could be so cunning, and even brought people from the government to eavesdrop outside in advance.
Now I can't deny it even if I want to.
So he was extremely angry.
Zhao Ya would naturally not spoil him.
With a flash of the sword, Zhao Ya simply cut off his tendons and hamstrings, and then smiled at Du Hu and others.
"This guy has good Qinggong. If he runs away, he will be in trouble. Now that he has a strong muscle, he is safe."
Seeing his innocent and harmless smile, all the arresting officers, including Du Hu, couldn't help but feel a chill in their hearts.
They also often deal with those disobedient prisoners, but they can't do it like Zhao Ya who can break people's veins with a smile.
Du Hu reacted quickly. He stretched out his hand and gave Zhao Ya a thumbs up and said with admiration.
"I heard all the inferences you made in the room just now. It was so wonderful. The one you didn't say, Mr. Zhao, is this! I was blind before."
These words were spoken by Du Hu from the bottom of his heart.
When Zhao Ya asked him for the jade butterfly at Aunt Xue's house, he was very disapproving and felt that his efforts were in vain.
Later, Zhao Ya went to the government office to see the Jade Butterfly. Although Du Hu agreed for the sake of Dingtai Martial Arts School, he still felt that it was useless, so he didn't show up. He just asked one of his agents to take Zhao Ya with him. Go to the evidence room.
Even when Zhao Ya informed them to catch jade butterflies this time, he felt that it was very unreliable and that it was just nonsense.
But after witnessing the scene just now, Du Hu couldn't help but be impressed.
"Du Tou deserves the prize, I'm just lucky." Zhao Ya said with a smile.
"Then I will take this guy back to the government office first. You can come to the government office tomorrow to receive the reward. And I estimate that the five families will also come to thank you in person."
Du Hu confessed, and then asked his men to take away Lu Jicheng, who was already lying on the ground.
The matter was settled at this point, but the big-eyed lantern and Erqiangzi did not leave.
When Zhao Ya turned back to look at them, the two fell to their knees with a plop.
"Master Zhao, please accept us as your disciples!"
