Rebirth of the Phoenix

Iron Claw Murderer

***, I heard that there are only a few honest friends in General Ye’s mansion, just cleaning, washing, and cooking, and there are no guards at all. Why did such a powerful person suddenly appear?

They originally wanted to sneak into the mansion on the rainy night and siege General Ye, but now they can't even get through a wall, so they can't kill a lot of hair?

These killers cursed in their hearts and continued to charge in battle. However, their subsequent efforts were still futile. The other party was guarding the wall like a mouse, running around quickly, constantly rotating the giant umbrella in his hand, just like a machine

, not feeling tired at all.

The umbrella blocked all their attacks, and there were spikes on the umbrella, and their flesh and blood could not be touched.

Seeing that there was no hope of entering the mansion, the leader finally knew that the current affairs were heroes, and whistled softly: "Go."

There is still time, so they don’t have to hurry up. Next time, they just need to find another opportunity to start.

In the heavy rain, a group of people quickly retreated. When they retreated, they did not forget to bring their injured companions.

After seeing them walking away, the little turtle said "ah" and fell on the wall. He didn't care about the heavy rain. He put away the umbrella in his hand, pulled the mechanism, held it in his arms, and gasped.

This umbrella is indeed a very powerful weapon. His master personally designed it and asked the umbrella makers, blacksmiths and weapons masters to make it together. It took a whole year to get such a treasure, but,

The umbrella is very heavy.

Such an umbrella weighs dozens of pounds. I know why he always holds it in his arms? He is so hard to hold it with one hand.

It was difficult to spin an umbrella like this, and he had exhausted all his strength. If these killers dragged them for a moment, he would exhaust himself and let them chop them into meat sauce.

Why did his master ask him to "protect" Mr. Ye?

After thinking about it, he felt that his young master didn't want Mr. Ye to have too much grudges with his colleagues and the powerful?

Those who have a grudge against Mr. Ye buy murderers. The killer did not directly confront Mr. Ye. The killer did not kill him, and Mr. Ye did not kill him. Then, this hatred will not be deeper. It is like this.

Just make it right?

Alas, he sighed, jumped off the wall and entered the general's mansion.

The big guys are thinking about something fatal all day long. It's really terrible. I hope his master will not let him get involved too deeply.

He doesn't pursue those killers, but others may not fail to pursue them.

The rain was much lighter as the killers ran back, and their figures were not as blurred as before.

In the darkness, a pair of cold eyes were looking at them.

They had been suffering from heavy rain for so long, and their whole bodies were as if they were soaked in water. Seeing that they were far away from the General's Mansion, they stopped, wiped their heads and faces, and twisted off the rainwater from their bodies.

The people in the dark raised their bows and arrows, aimed at their direction, and shot an arrow.

Then, he quickly ran to more than ten meters away and shot another arrow, thus confusing their direction.

In fact, it is difficult to see their bodies clearly in such darkness and rain. The arrow shot out is difficult to hit the point. However, this person does not have to take their lives, just let them spread.

The best strategy is to defeat the enemy with a large number of enemies and we are fewer.

Sure enough, the killers did not expect to be ambushed on the way. The leader asked several wounded people to stay, and the others divided into several groups to pursue the arrows.

They are killers and come out to do bad things, so they naturally dare not stay in a place with light.

The wounded remained under the big tree and hid in the darkness.

They never expected that the main target the ambushers wanted to kill was the wounded!

These killers, of course, choose to take action on such rainy nights, to facilitate killing people, but at the same time it also facilitates others to kill them.

The sound of wind and rain are not as strong as before, but they can still cover up the quiet footsteps of the ambushers.

The ambushers sneaked towards the wounded and got closer. Those people didn't know that they were already prey...

After one night, the sky cleared up and the sky was washed by heavy rain all night, which was extremely bright and refreshing.

The pedestrians stretched and yawned, walked out of the house and prepared to start a new day.

Someone passed by a street and saw people lying behind the big tree on the side of the road. He thought someone was trapped by the heavy rain last night and injured something, so he went to see what happened.

However, behind the big tree were several corpses!

Moreover, it was obvious that they died of a life of misfortune. Some people were bruised and black all over, and some people had several holes poked in their stomachs and necks. The scene was quite terrifying.

"Ah--" shouted, attracting enough onlookers, and finally someone went to report to the official.

Then, the news spread.

Xiaogui was thinking about what happened last night and got up early. While running out to buy breakfast, he also observed the surroundings.

As he walked, he walked to the vicinity of the crime scene and heard everyone's discussion. He followed him to see what happened. Then he saw the officers blocking the scene. He forced himself into the crowd and pulled the dead.

All of his looks were seen.

Then, his eyes became round: These dead people are killers, are they?

The officials were checking the body of the deceased. There were no suspicious things such as hidden weapons, weapons, etc. on the deceased. However, the little turtle felt that they were killers at a glance from their dress, temperament and death.

He still felt murderous and enraged when he died. He was obviously not a good thing, but he died in fighting or something. What if he wasn't a killer?

Maybe it was the group of people who wanted to kill Mr. Ye last night. The people living in this area were all good residents. Apart from those killers, who else would appear in this area?

After observing for a while, he thought about it, ran to the palace, and reported to his master.

After listening to his report, Yue Yinghua clapped her palms with folding fan and said, "You haven't found the second batch of people?"

Xiaogui nodded: "Well, because the young master said that someone would be going to assassinate Young Master Ye tonight. On the way back to the general's mansion with Young Master Ye, I paid great attention to the surroundings, and then I vaguely found someone following us, but I discovered this.

No one else was found.”

"You might be sure the deceased was the killer you encountered?"

"It's dark, I can't even see what people look like, so where can I be sure of it? But they are killers at first glance, so they can't be wrong."

"Who do you think the person who killed those killers will be?"

The little turtle touched his head: "You can't think of it at all. Young Master Ye is just getting closer to you. There is also the Sixth Princess, but the Sixth Princess will definitely not know these things, so the young one can't think of it.

Who would help Young Master Ye in secret?"

Yue Yinghua thoughtful.

After a while, he stood up: "Let's go to the yamen to take a look at the bodies."

If Ye Jiu has a secret accomplice, or someone wants to capture Ye Jiu by his subordinates, he will definitely find out the people behind the scenes.

Half an hour later, Yue Yinghua, who had been dressed up in disguise, appeared in the morgue room of the yamen.

The four bodies have been stripped and cleaned and placed flat on the autopsy table.

The wounds on their bodies are very clear.

Yue Yinghua only glanced at it a few times and confirmed that they were killers. Their accomplices must have taken away all the weapons that could speculate their identities and origins. They wanted to find the master messenger behind the scenes from these killers.

Basically impossible.

This case is definitely a deadly case and there is no need to investigate it.

He just wanted to find out from them what kind of person he would start with.

Two of these four corpses died of poisoning. According to Coroner, the poison in them was very fierce and blood-sealed. There was no cure to relieve it. However, the poisoned wound was very shallow, not like someone was

Do it intentionally.

Before coming, Yue Yinghua checked the giant umbrella and asked someone to check the scars on the umbrella and the damage on the umbrella, and found a slight toxin, that is, the weapons that cut on the giant umbrella,

Tempered poison.

Thinking of the fighting style of the giant umbrella, he could probably imagine that these two killers were likely to be scratched by the giant umbrella's rebounding weapon and died of poison.

Then, only two other killers were truly killed by the mysterious character.

The other two killers, one had eight deep holes in his stomach, and the other's neck was cut off by a sharp object.

He asked the coroner what the weapon was. The coroner pondered for a while before saying, "I think it's like a claw."

"Claw?" Yue Yinghua stared at a killer's small and deep hole in the abdomen. It really looked like a claw, but, "What claws are so powerful?"

Even with the eagle claws, tiger claws cannot penetrate such holes flatly.

Coroner said: "The young man believed that the murderer was probably wearing gloves made of steel and other metals. He said that metal claws were more suitable. Wear them on his hands and act as weapons. If the metal claws were sharp enough, they would stab the body.

It is easy to make such a hole or cut off your throat."

Yue Yinghua nodded: "What kind of person do you think the murderer is?"

The coroner scratched his head and thought for a long time before he said, "I think the murderer's strength is not particularly strong, otherwise the wound could be made deeper. If he changes to a strong man, he will probably be able to pierce his neck.

, In addition, the murderer should be very calm, and he hit the target with one blow. There was no extra body of the deceased, and the same wound..."

What he said later was basically nonsense.

Yue Yinghua was too lazy to listen anymore, but just stared at the wound on the killer's body and was ecstatic.

Xiaogui said that there were more than a dozen killers last night, but only four died, two of them were killed by their own weapons, which means that the murderer only killed two already injured killers—

—This murderer is probably only one, and his martial arts skills are not very high!

If there are many people and all masters, how can only kill two people if they are ambushed in secret and face the killer who has returned home in a defeat?

Judging from the murderer's technique, he was clean and neat, and he killed himself with one blow, he didn't look like he would show mercy to those killers.

There were no obvious signs of fighting at the scene of the crime, just like a quick battle and a quick decision, and the killing was done.

Therefore, there is only one possibility - that is, the murderer has more strength but lacks strength, "sneak attack" + "quick battle and quick decision", and only kills two injured killers and leaves, without a fight.
