Chapter 36 The floating corpse reappears
  Standing next to this person was a man in his forties, over seven feet tall, and quite fat.

"Lieutenant Zhang?"

"Master Pei."

"Does your brother have any enemies?"

"My brother-in-law is usually law-abiding and lives a peaceful life. When it comes to his enemies, I really don't know much about my enemies," Zhang Xianwei said.

After hearing this, the man who was examining the body looked up at County Lieutenant Zhang and smiled.

"In this case, the criminals were obviously targeting your brother. He killed eighteen people in one fell swoop. How much hatred is there? Mr. Zhang, I was given a time limit from above!"

"Your Majesty, I will give you your full cooperation," Zhang County Lieutenant said hurriedly.

"In this way, let's first list all the people in your Wuyang County who know the masculine palm technique and the split tendon and bone hand, and give them to me before dark."

"Yes, I'll take care of it now," County Lieutenant Zhang said hurriedly.

At Wang Shen's home, after these few days of rest, Chen Zheng was obviously feeling much better.

"For this case, the Ninglong Mansion also sent people here. The person who came was a person named Pei Jin, who is a master in handling cases."

Chen Zheng is very aware of the goings-on in Wuyang County these days.

"Master?"

"Yes, they are here for us." Chen Zheng nodded.

"Did you find anything?"

"Probably not yet, just investigating."

"Inquire more about the news, so we can make preparations in advance. Where is this Pei Jin from? Is it possible to take him away?" Wang Shen said.

"I have to ask around."

At the county government office, Pei Jin looked at the list compiled by the county captain.

"Are these people from the Qinghe Gang?"

"Yes, they are all from the Qinghe Gang."

"Well, I've also heard about the name of the Qinghe Gang in Ninglong Mansion. I heard that the leader of the gang, Lei Liang, is more effective than your county magistrate?"

"These are all rumors." Zhang County Lieutenant said hurriedly.

"Then meet these people first." Pei Jin pointed to the people on the list.

The news soon reached Chen Zheng. After all, he was a man who could divide his muscles and bones. After receiving the news, he found Wang Shen to discuss countermeasures.

"How are you recovering from your injuries?"

"It's not a big problem. Besides, it makes sense that people who practice martial arts smell like gold sore medicine." Chen Zhengdao.

"If he asks where you were that night and who was the witness, what should you say?"

"I practiced alone in the house without anyone to testify." Chen Zheng said.

There is nothing wrong with this statement in itself. It seems to be the only way to say it. Wang Shen also made almost the same statement.

The day after the two of them met, Pei Jin asked Chen Zheng and Wang Shen to question them.

When Wang Shen saw Pei Jin for the first time, he looked at him carefully.

"This person is difficult to deal with."

Pei Jin first asked Wang Shen his name, confirmed his identity, and then began to ask about what happened that night.

"That night, I was in a warehouse outside the city."

"Who can testify?"

"I was the only one there, and there was no one to testify." Wang Shen said matter-of-factly.

"You know how to divide the muscles and bones and hands?"

"Understand a little." Wang Shen nodded.

"What about the other techniques?"

Wang Shen shook his head. Pei Jin stood up and came to Wang Shen and looked at his hands.

"Come here, fight with me." "My lord, I have a body of thousands of gold, but I don't dare." Wang Shen said hurriedly.

Pei Jin suddenly took action and hit Wang Shen on the shoulder. Wang Shen hurriedly dodged, but was half a minute too late and was staggered by his blow.

"This skill is too poor, but this kind of demeanor that is neither humble nor arrogant is rare." Pei Jin thought to himself.

"Who else in your Qinghe Gang is proficient in this muscle-splitting hand?"

"Deacon Chen Zheng, and Deacon Chen Luan, but Chen Luan was seriously injured a few days ago and has not recovered yet." Wang Shen said after thinking for a while.

"Anyone else?"

"I know them." Wang Shen said.

"The Qinghe River is haunted by water ghosts. The warehouse you are guarding is on the edge of the Qinghe River. Aren't you afraid?"

"Fortunately, as far as I know, the water ghosts in Qinghe have never come ashore." Wang Shen replied.

"You can go." Pei Jin said with a smile.

Wang Shen turned around and left the government office. When he returned home, he found Chen Zheng waiting for him.

"How about being called for questioning too?"

"Come in and talk."

After entering the room, the two people checked the contents of Pei Jin's question, and they were almost the same.

"Will he doubt us?"

"What are you doubting? There is no direct conflict between us and Zhang Yuan, but you. He didn't ask about Lin Xiulian's affairs. Maybe he will ask about it in the future. You should think about how to deal with it."

Chen Zheng nodded silently.

The days that followed returned to calm. Wang Shen practiced martial arts every day. Lord Pei Jin Pei didn't look for him again, but he didn't leave Wuyang County either.

It wasn't until a few days later that things took a turn for the better with the arrival of Lei Liang.

"Our plan is about to begin. Pei Jin can't stay here. We have to find a way to move him away."

"He has to be transferred. He is from the Pei family." said the man who had been hiding in his cloak all day long.

Two days later, Pei Jin was transferred out of Wuyang County.

After receiving the news, Wang Shen breathed a sigh of relief. The crisis was finally temporarily resolved.

Although the crisis was resolved, two floating corpses appeared on the Qinghe River outside Wuyang County within three days. Each corpse had its internal organs and head removed.

Originally, there were a few scattered boats on the Qinghe River, including water transport and fishermen's boats. Since there had been no floating corpses for several months, they began to go down the river to make a living.

After the two floating corpses came out, all the boats on the Qinghe River disappeared.

In the afternoon of this day, Chen Zheng came to Wang Shen's home.

"That Pei Jin is finally gone. Master asked me to go around the city and outside the city frequently these two days to see if there are any suspicious people coming to Wuyang County."

"Why do you do this?"

"I can't ask in detail what Master has arranged, but I always feel like something is going to happen."

The weather is getting hotter and hotter day by day. The Qinghe River outside Wuyang County should be the busiest time of the year, with boats coming and going, but this year it is deserted and not a single boat can be seen.

This afternoon, the sun had already set, and the sky was not completely dark yet.

Wang Shen has arrived at the warehouse and started practicing every day.

Stone pillars weighing hundreds of kilograms were tied to the rocks and were constantly being lifted and lowered with hemp ropes.

"The growth in strength is about to reach its upper limit again."

Wang Shen could feel that his strength had reached its limit again. He should be barely strong enough now.

This was due to the black fish, and even more to the Qi in his body. Ever since he cultivated Qi, he felt that his body had been affected by Qi and was constantly getting stronger, although this process was relatively slow. slow.

Just when he finished his practice and was about to take a rest, he suddenly heard a strange scream coming from outside.

"Is it this voice again?" Wang Shen looked outside.

After another half an hour, it suddenly started to rain. It started raining all night long.
