Two days later, another female corpse was found.
Her hair was cut in a mess, and she had a terrified expression on her face. She was stabbed in the heart by a sword, and her body was stained with blood, which was still dripping down. Her hands were placed on her lower abdomen, and she was holding a piece of paper on which was written a word—Two.
When Su Xiaopei arrived at the scene where the corpse was located on the dirt road in Zhenxikou, the place was already crowded with people. Everyone saw her coming, and they all made way.
What Su Xiaopei noticed at a glance was not the corpse, but Du Chengming, who was squatting beside the corpse and was seriously investigating the situation. Qin De was squatting on the other side while checking, whispering with Du Chengming. There were also several officials standing beside him.
Su Xiaopei's eyes turned from Du Chengming's serious, serious and dignified expression to the corpse. She clearly saw the young woman's expression before her death, her eyes widened, as if she had seen the most terrifying thing in the world.
Su Xiaopei felt a cold air rise from the back of her spine, she thought her face should be pale enough.
Du Chengming turned to see her, pursed the corners of his mouth, stretched out his hand and took out the piece of paper from the corpse's hand and handed it to Su Xiaopei.
"Girl, this is for you, right?"
Su Xiaopei looked down at the word, his feet swayed, as if he couldn't stand. Ran Feize hurriedly came over to help her, she read the letter, then Du Chengming, her eyes were red, she shook her head, tried to speak to Du Chengming, struggled for a long time, and squeezed out a few words: "Master Du ,I… "
"A sword pierced through the heart, and she died very tragically. According to the expression on the girl's deathbed, I was afraid that she was tortured and frightened. The detailed situation will only be known after the autopsy." Du Chengming's voice was very painful, Su Xiaopei stared at the corpse, Holding the letter with the word "Two" in his hand tightly, he was breathing so fast that he seemed to be out of breath. In the end, it was unsupported, and when he fell backwards, Ran Feize was shocked, and reached out to take her into his arms.
"Xiao Pei." He looked at her face anxiously, seeing her pale face and sweating, her eyes closed and very weak, he hurriedly said to Du Chengming and Qin Dezheng: "Sir, Miss Su is not feeling well, I will take her back first. ."
Du Chengming and Qin Dezheng didn't say anything, and after a few words of concern, Ran Feize took Su Xiaopei away.
She ran all the way and took her back to the house.
"We're home." As soon as he said this, Su Xiaopei opened his eyes.
"He's really pretending to be." Su Xiaopei gritted his teeth, the word "Two" on her hand was already wrinkled by her.
"The girl isn't bad either. I thought it was true." I panicked, afraid that she would fall if she didn't follow up.
"I know the strong man will protect me."
"Yeah." By this time, he was still guarding and not letting go.
"The strong man let me down."
"Hold it for a while, it won't sink."
Su Xiaopei didn't say a word, she knew that he was making trouble and was using his way to comfort her. She didn't want to argue, she put her head on his shoulder and hugged him, she gritted her teeth and held a breath in her chest. "He kept the corpse as it was, waiting for me to show it. The murderer left a letter, and he didn't even look at it first. He wanted to see my reaction. Strong man, he murdered just to blow and destroy my spirit."
"Yeah. So you thought about making him laugh first and let him have a look?" He hugged her and sat down in the back room. "You look at me," he said to her.
Su Xiaopei raised his head in his arms and looked into his eyes.
"You have to know that their deaths are not your fault."
Su Xiaopei gritted his teeth and said nothing.
"You talk, their deaths are not your fault."
She couldn't speak, her heart was on fire.
"I know you want to stabilize him, you want him to think he's the winner, so he can stop for a while. That's right, but you have to know for sure that their deaths aren't your fault."
She nodded, her reason told her it was, but she couldn't say it out loud, she couldn't say it. If it weren't for her, these two girls would not have died.
"Xiao Pei." He kissed her eyes, "Don't lose to him."
"I will not."
"Very well. That's it."
Su Xiaopei turned her face to the information wall and looked at it carefully. She hadn't thought about what information to leave here. Everything had to be thought out and laid out, and it had to be hit with a single blow. What does Cheng Jiangyi want? Why do you hate her so much? Did she get in his way? He should have been here for a few years, so he integrated into this world, his appearance has changed, his age has changed, his personality has changed, what does he want
"Strong man."
"Um?"
"I was terribly frightened, I fell ill."
"Okay." Ran Feize answered immediately. "We don't go out these few days, we just recuperate at home."
"You can also go back to Ning'an City to recuperate for a while."
"Then leave after my weapon is cast."
Su Xiaopei nodded: "He will come to visit me."
"Well." He stroked her head and kissed her on the forehead. "Cheer up, my girl."
She nodded again, "I won't admit defeat."
In the evening, Du Chengming led someone to visit Su Xiaopei. First, I wanted to ask Su Xiaopei what thoughts or clues Su Xiaopei had on the suspect. Second, I heard that she was too frightened and fell ill. Yili came to visit.
Su Xiaopei was lying on the bed, his face was very bad, there was still medicine frying in the back kitchen, the strong smell of medicine could be smelled from afar. Several people entered the room and looked at Su Xiaopei. Du Chengming was very concerned about her condition, and he heard her say that her mind was too messy, and she really couldn't remember who would be the murderer. She only knew that the person must be from her hometown, maybe it was the Cheng Gongzi she was looking for, but she had been looking for this person for a long time, and she had a lot of connections, and she had never found any clues.
Du Chengming listened and nodded. "Since the girl didn't find him, how can she be sure that he really got here?"
Su Xiaopei frowned, but he didn't expect him to ask such a question. If this is Cheng Jiangyi, then he will see through any lie she makes up. Said that Mr. Cheng had left a book to her, that she knew him so she knew that he was here, these are all unreasonable.
"Actually, I came here because he was entrusted by his family. He had been away from home for a long time. His mother was seriously ill and missed her son. She was in pain. I was entrusted to come and find him and bring him home."
Cheng Jiangyi has a good relationship with his mother and is a filial son. When Su Xiaopei said this, he stared at Du Chengming's expression. It's a pity that Du Chengming was very calm and didn't show the slightest bit of emotional relaxation, as if he heard something about someone else. He asked, "Is the girl going back to her hometown after finding him?"
"Of course. No matter how beautiful it is outside, it can't compare to the beauty of my hometown."
"I haven't asked where the girl's hometown is?"
"It's very far, very far. Even the adults will not know."
"How is the girl going to go back?"
Are you testing her way back to the modern age? Su Xiaopei blinked: "I want to take a boat."
"By boat?"
"Well, in a ship that resembles a spaceship."
The other people didn't respond. The term was new to them, but it was also a kind of boat, but Du Chengming's face twitched, to hide him, he turned to look at Ran Feize, and said, "If Miss Su takes someone else away, Ran Daxia is pitiful."
Ran Feize said seriously: "Sir, don't worry about me. If my girl wants to lose me, I will break her leg."
Everyone laughed, so embarrassed that Su Xiaopei gave Ran Feize a white look. Du Chengming turned to Su Xiaopei again and said with a smile, "It seems that the girl can't make it."
"The strong man is a joke, I must leave."
"But Mr. Cheng killed a lot of people, and it was clear that he was here for the girl. There are so many murder cases, how should the girl handle it? It's not a responsible act to leave."
Su Xiaopei bit his lip, his face pale. After a long time, he whispered: "It's not that I don't want to take responsibility, I really can't take it. The adults have also seen that scene, although I have seen many murder cases before, how can I bear it when they die for me like this , I don't dare to look for this person, I can feel at ease when I go home earlier."
Before she could finish speaking, she was interrupted by Ran Feize: "Sir, don't ask, as soon as she woke up today, she was clamoring to go home, and the thief acted like this and scared the girl away, how can I be? Okay. It's really just talking about breaking the leg." He looked like I couldn't bear it, which made several people laugh again. Su Xiaopei gave him another look.
Du Chengming thought for a while, then smiled: "What Ran Daxia said is that the girl doesn't need to panic about the thief, we will definitely capture him, and the girl can recuperate at ease."
Qin Dezheng also interjected: "Miss Su, don't panic, take good care of it. This matter of catching thieves and arresting the culprits will be handed over to me and Mr. Du. If the girl thinks of any clues, she will report to us." Everyone agreed a few words, Ran Feize He smiled at Su Xiaopei and reached out to hold her hand. "Look, I said the adults will find a way."
A look of affection, sour that everyone hurriedly said goodbye. Du Chengming asked again how Dr. Ran Feize was treating Su Xiaopei, looked at the doctor's prescription, and glanced at the wall in Su Xiaopei's room inadvertently before leaving.
Bai Yulang was left by Ran Feize to do some errands and run errands. No one objected, and Bai Yulang was readily left behind.
Bai Yulang was also clever, and took the initiative to report: "Uncle Ran, let me tell you, we have been so busy these days that we have been led by Master Du and Master Qin to visit the deceased's house and explore the surrounding areas. , I also returned to Pingzhou City, and asked Zuo Zuo to conduct an autopsy. The trial in Pingzhou City is similar to our Ning'an City, and a few related people were also arraigned, but unfortunately, no clues were found, and those people also It's not the murderer, so I let it go in the end. The elder sister's Young Master Cheng still has no news at all."
"You went back to Pingzhou City?" Ran Feize asked the time carefully one by one from the front and side, and Du Chengming really didn't have the time to kill the second person. He was not there.
After that, Ran Feize inquired about Gu Kang's whereabouts with others, and listed a timeline diagram with Su Xiaopei. Su Xiaopei said: "This shows that he has more than one helper. There are people, there are people in the Seven Kills Village. He must have people in other places, he has an organization, a strong man, he has his network of influence, we must think bigger. "
"But what good can he do? All these people in these sects want to stabilize their power and position before being teased by him. He can only control their actions for a while. If he wants to use them to climb up If the martial arts leader is in any other position, it will harm the interests of these people, and these people will not agree."
"What if he doesn't ask for anything? These people will feel like they've taken advantage. They've learned something, they've gained power, and they don't have to be threatened. That's the genius. Stronger than him, vanity is satisfied, but I don't know that he is actually in his hands."
"He doesn't ask at this time, he will ask sooner or later. He is just a catcher. Those martial arts people think very highly of themselves, and they can't hold him as their respect."
"He really doesn't ask, otherwise he won't do anything, he's a pervert, strong man, do you know what pervert means? He's just enjoying playing with others, he's very smart, he took advantage of it With his current status, those martial arts talents will be hooked. They get his help, and they think they have control and can withdraw at any time. However, Du Chengming sees what they want, they can't withdraw, they don't know. "
Su Xiaopei thought of the letter she received from "Whoareyou" for the first time, it wasn't because she hindered him, it was because he found the plaything, and he tasted the excitement with blood. So she said today that she would go back, and was scared to go back. He didn't want to lose the fun, and he wasn't sure if she could really go back to the modern age. Maybe, he would calm down for a while and stop doing it. At least, until he's sure if she can get out of his grip.
Ran Feize was silent for a while, and then said: "You are right, his identity is really good. If he is also a Jianghu person, then things are actually much easier to handle. We will solve it with Jianghu rules, and others will say what. Come on. It's just that he is a quick arrest, and all the factions in the rivers and lakes will be afraid. They don't want to be controlled by the government, and of course they don't want to cause trouble. If we don't have strong evidence to bring him down from the other side, there is really nothing except assassination. There's a way."
Su Xiaopei frowned: "Strong man."
Ran Feize looked at her: "I'm not joking, I don't like killing people, I don't kill many people, but if he does this to you again, I don't care if there is any evidence, as long as it is confirmed that he did it, he is the envoy, I will Will kill him. Have fun with him? I'm not interested."
Su Xiaopei was speechless. This world is really different from her world. She didn't want Ran Feize's hands to be stained with blood for her for no reason. There was no evidence, and she could only kill by inference. She couldn't do it, and she didn't want Ran Feize to do the same. She knew that Ran Feize was not a reckless man, he was a kind and kind man.
Su Xiaopei was worried and felt a lot of pressure. She felt that there must be something she didn't expect.
At night, Lou Lidong brought news. He asked people to investigate Du Chengming. This man has a good family since he was a child, and has some money. He learned martial arts from the Qilin Sect when he was a child, but he did not enter the school, because his father wanted to find a job for him. After he got married at the age of eighteen, Du Chengming became a yacha in Pingzhou City. He didn't do anything well, but he knew how to manage, and with his martial arts skills, he gradually rose to the position of chief inspector. Fourteen years ago, when he was on a business trip, he encountered a heavy rain and lightning. His horse was frightened and stumbled, throwing him off the mountain road and rolling down the cliff. His subordinates rescued him under the cliff after the heavy rain stopped. At that time, when he was dying, he was carried back home, and the doctor said that he could no longer be treated. Unexpectedly, Du Chengming's life was very big, and he didn't die in the end, but he couldn't speak for a long time after he woke up, and he couldn't hold a pen and couldn't eat well after waking up. It took several months to recover.
"Fourteen years ago?" Su Xiaopei was stunned, fourteen years? She imagined that it was a bold inference that Cheng Jiangyi came a few years earlier than her, but it was fourteen years earlier. He is really smart. He found that the environment he was in was not right. In order not to expose his accent and speaking problems, and not to reveal that his writing was different, he used his illness to cover it up.
Fourteen years was indeed enough for him to become another person.
