Tie Xue Leng continued, "Now, analyze Fang Yuan as a person."
"Father, are you suspecting Fang Yuan?" Tie Ruo Nan was stunned for a moment before continuing, "He is a very rational and intelligent person. When he introduced the village to us, every sentence he said was appropriate and logical. Hiss … "
Tie Ruo Nan suddenly sucked in a breath of cold air.
She frowned, "I didn't notice it earlier, but now that you reminded me, I realized it! This Fang Yuan is too good with words. Every sentence he says is the objective truth, abandoning his personal feelings. He calmly narrates from a spectator's perspective. No one can find any flaws in his words, nor can they find any clues beyond his words. His words, are very … very … very clean. "
The young girl hesitated for a moment before finally using the word 'clean'.
Tie Xue Leng nodded, then shook his head, "He did not abandon his personal feelings. Everyone has feelings, even the most cold-blooded assassin has feelings. He just hid his feelings very well and controlled them very well. This young man has a demonic nature. "
"Demonic nature?"
"That's right. Think about it, he was frank during the banquet, saying that he was afraid and did not dare to go to the battlefield. Tell me, if it was any other person, would they do that? "Tie Xue Leng asked.
Tie Ruo Nan shook her head, "No. Gu Masters view their clan's honor and their own reputation as more important than their own lives. But that might not be the case. There were many people who destroyed their own reputations in history, right? "
"That's right. But who were those people? "Tie Xue Leng's gaze was deep.
Tie Ruo Nan thought for a while, her expression slightly shaken, "They were all outstanding people!"
"That's right. In history, those who destroyed their own reputations only had two goals. One was to have a grand scheme, and compared to the goal, reputation is nothing. As for the other one, it's to protect himself, to avoid suspicion. "
Tie Ruo Nan's eyes brightened, "Father, you are saying?"
"You are overthinking, I just feel that this young man is very interesting. Unfortunately, he only has C grade aptitude … "Tie Xue Leng said.
This night, the moonlight was like water.
Fang Yuan walked on the empty street, his footsteps heavy but firm.
After interacting with Tie Xue Leng, Xiao Chen knew that Tie Xue Leng lived up to his name. This Tie Xue Leng had eyes that could see through the affairs of the world, and his intelligence and shrewdness were unfathomable. He had roamed the southern border unhindered for decades, making a name for himself, he was truly an outstanding person.
It was extremely difficult to get rid of suspicion in front of such a person. As long as they were given enough time, they would definitely find out the truth!
"We have to fight for time now. However, the recruitment of the Mo bloodline can indeed be used. "
Not long ago, in the courtyard of the Mo family, Fang Yuan had asked for an exorbitant price. He could marry Mo Yan, but he would need 100,000 Yuan stone and 10 rare Gu Worms, each of which was at least Rank 3.
This request enraged Guyue and Mo Chen.
I'm going to marry my precious granddaughter to you, but you're still pretending to be obedient?!
Furthermore, he shamelessly asked for betrothal gifts and was so greedy. This was truly intolerable!
Therefore, the negotiation failed and Fang Yuan was chased out.
Fang Yuan turned around and left without any hesitation.
He knew Mo Chen's thoughts and was certain that he would compromise. As for him asking for an exorbitant price, it was nothing more than asking for an exorbitant price.
"However, this matter has both pros and cons. Although I have the Yuan stone and can feed it to the Heavenly Essence Treasure Lotus. But my original plan of withdrawing from the political whirlpool has also been disrupted. During tonight's banquet, Guyue and Mo Chen sacrificed themselves in exchange for my political future. Next, I'm afraid there will be suppression from the various clan elders. "
Right now, the political situation of the Guyue village was like this: The clan leader was alive and one of the two ministers, Guyue Lian, was dead, but the Chi faction was not without people. The heir Guyue Cheng was still alive, and there was also a clan elder like Guyue Zhong who came from the same faction. And the Mo faction had lost its heir and Mo Chen was heavily injured, falling to Rank 2 and could not even keep his clan elder status.
The two great forces of the past were now in decline. On the contrary, the medicine faction was mostly made up of healing Gu Masters and was at the back. There were fewer sacrifices and their strength was preserved, showing signs of rising.
The medicine faction was originally part of the clan leader's faction, but now it had the qualifications to be independent. But regardless of whether Guyue and Yao Ji chose to be independent or continue to rely on the clan, to strengthen themselves, they would need to snatch and annex. The Chi and Mo bloodlines, which were in dire straits, were the best targets.
If they did not act now, when the two great forces recovered, it would be hard to say.
"The whirlpool of the mortal world cannot be controlled by one's self. Riding the wind and breaking the waves for thirty thousand li, this is the demonic path! "Fang Yuan looked up at the moon and sighed bitterly.
He wanted to escape from this political whirlpool, but Guyue and Mo Chen forcefully pulled him back. Pressure from all sides surged towards him. Tie Xue Leng had already started to solve the case, and on the other side, Bai Ning Bing had also obtained a new helper.
It was like sailing on a submerged reef, with danger lurking everywhere, how could they make a path?
…
The next day.
"What? You said Jia Jin Sheng's killer has been found and even killed? " Even killed? "Tie Ruo Nan was astonished.
This morning, she woke up early and started to understand the case.
But to think that the first news she got was that the killer had already been executed.
"That's right. The killer is a demonic Gu Master. He even tried to assassinate our clan's rising star, attempting to kill a genius, but was killed on the spot by our clan's Gu Master. "An elder provided clues.
"Is it really like this? Did he directly admit that he was Jia Jin Sheng's killer? "Tie Ruo Nan frowned deeply. Beside her, Tie Xue Leng wore a bronze mask, standing silently like a statue.
"That's not true. But, if it is not him, who else could it be? "The elder shrugged.
Tie Ruo Nan pondered in her heart, "These are all guesses, there is no evidence. But no matter what the truth is, this demonic Gu Master must be investigated thoroughly. Very likely, this is a clue that leads straight to the truth! "
Thinking of this, Tie Ruo Nan raised her head, "Where is he buried? I want to open the coffin and examine the corpse! "
In the shabby coffin, there was a corpse.
The stench assaulted the nostrils, causing the servants and Gu Masters who helped open the coffin to hide far away in disgust.
But the Tie father and daughter seemed to not smell it. Tie Ruo Nan's eyes shone with a layer of light, and she bent down to examine the corpse with great interest.
On the corpse, there were many traces left behind. Many times, one or two small traces could be irrefutable evidence pointing to the killer!
On this corpse, there were many scars, and the person's appearance could be vaguely seen. He was also wearing his original clothes.
Tie Ruo Nan searched for a long time, before standing up reluctantly.
"Did you find anything?" Tie Xue Leng softly asked, testing her.
"Guyue clan thinks that this person is very likely to be Jia Jin Sheng's killer, thus they preserved this corpse very well. There is a big problem with this corpse. "Tie Ruo Nan answered.
"He is a middle-aged man, his right arm is thicker than his left, and both his hands have a thick layer of calluses. The distribution of the calluses is not uniform. His body is full of scars, with many fatal injuries. Before his death, he had an intense battle. But on his body, there are also many internal injuries. Especially on his left foot, he is missing three toes. This is an injury from many years ago. "
Saying so, Tie Ruo Nan deduced, "He is very likely to have been a hunter when he was alive. There is a lot of evidence. The asymmetrical body and the calluses on his hands show that he is a person who often draws a bow. There are many claw and teeth marks from wild beasts on his body, and he often interacts with wild beasts. His clothing is also not that of an orthodox Gu Master. Especially the straw sandals on his feet, they are even more interesting. The grass used to weave the straw sandals is bamboo hemp grass. This grass only grows around Qing Mao Bamboo. And Qing Mao Mountain is rich in Qing Mao Bamboo. Other than this, there is no bamboo hemp grass in the surrounding thousand li. "
"What do you mean?" Tie Xue Leng asked.
"Before this person became a demonic Gu Master, he must have been a hunter. From his clothing, he is very likely a hunter from Qing Mao Mountain. "Tie Ruo Nan's eyes shone with brilliance.
"How can you be sure he is a native here? If it is straw sandals, he could have killed the villagers here and put them on himself. "Tie Xue Leng retorted.
"That's not it. Among all the clothing, shoes are very special. If they were stolen, most of them would not fit well. But look at this pair of shoes, not only do they fit well, they are also tightly knit, as if tailor-made. His left foot is missing three toes, so the straw sandals on his left foot are correspondingly shorter. The wounds on his toes are at the base, and are very sharp. I guess it is very likely that he stepped into a trap many years ago. "Tie Ruo Nan said.
Tie Xue Leng did not comment, neither did he confirm anything, nor did he criticize anything.
Just like what he said earlier, he would leave everything to Tie Ruo Nan to solve.
Tie Ruo Nan continued to speak: "With this deduction, we can definitely go to the surrounding villages and carry out investigations. We might be able to find more clues … eh! "
As she spoke, the young girl's expression suddenly froze.
She suddenly recalled that Qing Mao Mountain had just experienced a wolf tide catastrophe. Even the village had suffered heavy losses, not to mention these villages at the foot of the mountain.
She wanted to use this method to find out this person's identity and information, but the chances were very slim.
"But even if the chances are slim, as long as there is a possibility of success, I will still try!" This was the first time the young girl had solved a case on her own, and she was full of energy.
However, half a day passed, and she returned in low spirits. This wolf tide was the most terrifying in history, and some villages did not even have any survivors. This made it very difficult for her to conduct her investigation.
"This clue is broken. What are you going to do next? "Tie Xue Leng asked at an appropriate time.
The young girl gritted her teeth, her tone revealing stubbornness and tenacity, "No, it's not over yet. Father, didn't you say that the real clue is hidden even deeper, and as long as we continue to dig, it will appear. "
"This demonic Gu Master's death is very fishy. First, why did he attack Fangzheng? How did Fangzheng offend him, causing him to disregard his own safety and risk his life to assassinate Fangzheng amidst many strong enemies? Secondly, he is a local. But why did no one recognize him after his death? "
Her words caused Tie Xue Leng to raise his eyebrows.
"Child, you have really grown up." The divine investigator sighed, his tone filled with relief.
