At sunset, Jinling City is quite hazy.

At this time, the people who were hiding at home because of the scorching heat also slowly came out to move, and the streets of Jinling were bustling and lively again.

In the post house, there is no longer a trace of cicadas, and I don't know if it is because the yellow bird has eaten all the cicadas.

Now that the cicadas are all gone, then the case of Jinling may also be closed.

At dusk, the weather suddenly overwhelmed the city, and suddenly it was abnormal, and Hanaro and the others were complaining about the vagaries of the weather, and a government official hurriedly came and said that they had found the murderer.

The news was so exciting that a group of people rushed to the government with the official regardless of the heat.

It's just that when Hua Lang proposed to go to the mansion, the official looked a little embarrassed and said, "Dude, the murderer is not in the mansion at this time, because he is dead." ”

Hearing that the murderer was dead, everyone seemed to have fallen from the clouds to the bottom, and at this time, Bao Zheng hurriedly asked, "What's going on?" ”

The official had an ugly face and said, "Today, someone came to the government to report the case, saying that there was a corpse in the woods behind their mansion, and the prefect took someone to see it, and it turned out that the corpse was very similar to the murderer we were looking for, so I sent someone down to find Lord Bao and the playboy to take a look." ”

After the official finished speaking, Hua Lang frowned, he felt that this matter was really weird, how could that murderer die for no reason?

Before he had time to think about it, Hua Lang instructed the officer, "Take us to the scene to see!" ”

A group of people waited for the crime scene under the leadership of the officer, it was a relatively remote place, but there were almost quite rich people living in that place, there was a forest behind these houses, where the murderer's body was lying, Wei Huai and several officials had already blocked the scene, just waiting for Bao Zheng and Hua Lang and others to come.

After everyone met, Wei Huai said, "He died of poisoning." ”

Hua Lang glanced at the corpse away from everyone, only to see that the corpse's lips were purple, his face was blue, even if he didn't use the silver needle to test it, he knew that he was poisoned and died, and in the murderer's hand, there was a ceramic vial, which immediately seemed to be wine, Hua Lang tested it with a silver needle, and found that the silver needle turned black, which means that the murderer died after drinking the poisonous wine in the vial.

Just who killed the murderer?

Just when Hua Lang was thinking like this, Wei Huai suddenly said: "The murderer was cornered by us and committed suicide, so the case of Liu Bei, Guan Yu, Zhang Fei and others being killed should be considered over." ”

The murderer is dead, the case can indeed be closed, but what about the motive, they still don't know what the motive of the murderer is, so it is difficult to be willing to close the case like this.

Hua Lang frowned, habitually touched his chin, and then looked around, at this time, because the scene of the murder was full of people, footprints have been superimposed on each other, it is impossible to determine whether there was someone around him when the murderer died, so after Hua Lang looked at the ground, he went to pay attention to the surroundings, it was very quiet here, but it was also very remote, how could the murderer die in such a place?

Hua Lang leaned down and touched the scar on the deceased's face, the scar was real, Hua Lang bowed slightly, and then glanced at the deceased's hand, the deceased's hand had a callus, but it was not the kind of cocoon that the farmer often worked on, but a cocoon made by holding a knife, which shows that the murderer was indeed a person with strong martial arts, and it was the murderer who killed Zhang Fei and Liu Bei that day.

Just his knife?

A man is being hunted, would he be stupid enough to throw away his weapon?

After such an investigation, Hua Lang ordered someone to carry the murderer's body back, and at this time, suddenly a thunderclap sounded, and a drizzle fell across the sky, drizzling like silk, and I don't know how many people would fall into it.

Everyone hurried back to the post house, at that time the rain was already heavy, and Zheng Wang Chai Rongshan was waiting for them, Zheng Wang Chai Rongshan saw Bao Zheng and Hua Lang and others, and asked with a smile: "I heard that a few people went to see the corpse?" ”

Hua Lang was already soaking wet, but he still replied again and again: "Back to King Zheng's words, it's true, that murderer committed suicide in fear of crime." ”

"This is very good, since this is the case, you should hurry up and deal with the things explained by the Eight Sages King, and you must find out the treasure left by Li Yu, the queen of the Southern Tang Dynasty, from Jiang Wen's mouth."

After Hua Lang bowed his head and said yes, Zheng Wang Chai Rongzhi left with a smile.

Everyone was wet, looking at the back of Zheng Wang Chai Rongshan's departure, and suddenly felt weird.

The rain kept falling, and Yin Wuxian hadn't come back yet, Hua Wan'er was very worried, so she asked Hua Lang, but Hua Lang still didn't say, so it wasn't until late at night that everyone went back to the room to rest.

The wind and rain beat on the window lattice, and I don't know what happened to the willow tree in the courtyard of the post house.

The cicada song has ended, but the frog song does not stop, Hua Lang and Wen Meng are already asleep, but at this time, there was a sudden sound of footsteps outside, the footsteps were mixed with the sound of rain, it seemed very weak, but Wen Meng was a Jianghu person after all, even in her sleep, she still noticed something strange, so after she heard the footsteps, she immediately woke up, and then pushed Hua Lang.

The two of them were silent, still pretending to sleep, at this time, the door creaked open, and the wind and rain outside drifted into the house, and then, one of them walked slowly towards the house with a knife, and his appearance was very scary, especially on such a rainy night.

He was getting closer and closer to the head of the bed, and at this time, Wen Meng suddenly flew from the bed, a flying knife hit the comer, the comer's kung fu was not weak, and he dodged Wen Meng's flying knife, and after he dodged the flying knife, he waved the big knife in his hand and slashed at Hua Lang.

But as soon as he raised his sword, he suddenly let out a scream, and then fell to the ground with a thud, and a bolt of lightning danced in the air, faintly recognizing the face of the assassin, a face they had never seen before, but at this time the snow was especially terrifying.

There was a person standing in the wind and rain, and at this time he flew and rushed over, and when Hua Lang saw the man, he hurriedly said, "Brother Yin came at the right time." ”

Yin Wuxian smiled slightly and said, "I really didn't expect that someone would dare to stab you." ”

Hua Lang shrugged, and then asked, "Has the matter for Brother Yin been done?" ”

Yin Wuxian nodded: "Okay, you can rest assured!" ”

After the two finished speaking, Bao Zheng, Gongsun Ce, and King Zheng had already heard the sound and rushed over, and when they saw the corpse on the ground and understood what was going on, they were all shocked, because they didn't expect that someone would dare to come to the post house to assassinate.

They couldn't identify the identity of the assassin for the time being, so they had to wait for dawn and hand it over to Wei Huai's people to do it, so after carrying the body out of the coffin, everyone went back to their rooms to rest.
