Eternal Sword

Chapter 10 Waves
Changze County.

The body was found last night.

In front of Cui Yong’s house.

Dozens of constables gathered nearby to maintain order. Many people stood around watching the fun, whispering and talking.

"Did you see clearly? How many people died?"

"I heard there were six."

"Not only that, five members of the Evil Wolf Gang died outside, and there is also a leader of the Evil Wolf Gang named Chai in the yard. Cui Yong died in the house."

"Cui Yong is dead too? That's really satisfying."

"The people who died in the Evil Wolf Gang deserved it. They did so many evil things and now they are getting their retribution."

"Shh, keep your voice down, or someone might hear you and get you into trouble."

More and more people gathered here, craning their necks to look inside, and more and more rumors were spreading about the matter.

"Who could have done this?"

"Not sure. Most of the dead were from the Evil Wolf Gang. Maybe it was the Black Water Gang who did it."

"It's very likely that Cui Yong was unlucky and saw the murder process, but was silenced. With such a big incident, both Constable Yan and Constable Cui are here."

No one knew what was going on inside and they were just making random guesses.

However, the Evil Wolf Gang can run rampant in Changze County because they have the support of Captain Yan and the county government behind them, and everyone knows it clearly.

It is also well known that Captain Cui is Cui Yong's relative.

yard.

Cui Zhao and Yan Ji, who had just examined the corpse, both had frowned faces and serious expressions.

Yan Ji said: "The five people outside the door were all killed with one sword. There was no sign of struggle. This person is a master."

Both of them are ninth-rank warriors appointed by the imperial court. If they take action, they can also kill the five members of the Evil Wolf Gang.

But it takes some effort and cannot be done so neatly.

The five members of the Evil Wolf Gang didn't even have time to draw their swords.

This person's martial arts skills are definitely better than the two of them, at least one level higher!
Cui Zhao thought for a moment and said, "The five people outside died at the hands of one person. The one who killed Chai Tianrong and Cui Yong must be someone else."

He checked the wounds and found that the wounds of the five Wolf Gang members were sword wounds, and Cui Yong in the house was stabbed to death after being tortured.

"The situation at that time might be that Chai Tianrong escaped by chance and broke through the gate, but he never expected that he would run into the murderer who had just killed Cui Yong."

Cui Zhao squatted down, stared at the five finger marks on Chai Tianrong's face, covered it with one hand, and placed the other hand in a claw shape at Chai Tianrong's throat.

Cui Zhao gestured in the air and speculated: "The two fought for only one round before the murderer used the tiger's mouth technique of the Subduing Tiger Fist to snatch food and crush his throat."

Yan Ji said in a deep voice: "This man is also a master."

Cui Zhao nodded and said, "This man has great strength in his hands. He threw away his sword and killed Chai Tianrong with his bare hands. His strength is obvious."

Yan Ji said: "This person deliberately used a common boxing technique like the Subduing Tiger Fist. It is obvious that he intended to hide his true skills and was worried about exposing his identity."

This man was too confident, so confident that even if he used the Subduing Tiger Fist, he was sure to kill Chai Tianrong with one move!
Is the murderer an eighth-grade one, a seventh-grade one, or even higher?

Cui Zhao and Yan Ji were not sure.

When did two such masters come to Changze County?

Due to the heavy snow and wind, not many clues were left at the scene.

The two captains made a rough guess about what happened last night based solely on the wounds on the bodies.

However, both of them underestimated the murderer's strength.

At this moment, the third captain of the Changze County walked over slowly. He was very young, about twenty years old.

It is said that he originally worked in the county government office, but was demoted to our Changze County because of his mistakes.

"Xiao Meng, what's going on over there?"

Yan Ji asked in a deep voice.

Although they are both captains of police, in the eyes of Yan Ji and Cui Zhao, the newcomer Meng Liangyu can only be regarded as a junior.

"Two white servants were found dead in the alley. Their throats were cut with a knife. It was clean and neat. The one who did it was a ruthless person."

Meng Liangyu held a bamboo stick in his mouth, with a hint of cynicism between his eyebrows. He glanced around and said, "Including these seven, nine people died overnight. This is a big case. What do the two captains say?"

Cui Zhao and Yan Ji were silent and looked at each other.

The two had worked in the county government for many years and were both experienced. They only needed to look at each other to guess each other's thoughts and understand each other. "Xiao Meng."

Yan Ji said: "You have been in Changze County for half a year, but you have not made any achievements. This is a rare opportunity. I think I will leave this case to you."

Cui Zhao also nodded and said, "If you find the murderer this time and make great contributions, County Magistrate Sun will say a few good words for you, and maybe you can return to the county government to work."

After hearing this, Meng Liangyu smiled playfully and asked, "Captain Yan, the person who died this time was a member of the Evil Wolf Gang. Don't you want to investigate it yourself?"

Then he turned his gaze to Cui Zhao and asked, "The one inside seems to be your nephew, right? Captain Cui doesn't want to catch the murderer and avenge his grievances?"

"We are just distant relatives, not that close."

Cui Zhao said: "Of course, I definitely want to catch the murderer, but we two old people have to give the young people a chance."

"Yes, Xiao Meng, you must seize the opportunity."

Yan Ji patted Meng Liangyu on the shoulder, his eyes seeming to hold high hopes.

"Haha, thank you both, Captains."

Meng Liangyu chuckled.

Cui Zhao and Yan Ji said a few words and then left first.

Meng Liangyu looked at the two people's backs as they left, spat out the bamboo stick in his mouth, and sneered in his heart.

Doesn’t he know what these two people are planning?
He just took a quick look and found the case to be quite tricky.

There is more than one murderer, and they are all masters!

The two must be worried that if they continue investigating, they will attract the other party's attention and get into trouble.

The members of the Evil Wolf Gang are dead, and it is normal for a few people to die in a gang.

Those three white servants were at most minor clerks and were nothing in the eyes of the county government.

There is no need for the two captains to mobilize a large force and put themselves in danger just for a few people.

In fact, Meng Liangyu was not very interested in this case.

In his opinion, the nine people last night all deserved to die and they deserved to die.

However, he was quite interested in the murderer in this case and was curious about who the murderer was. He wanted to see who he was.

Six people from the Evil Wolf Gang died, and the most likely cause was the Black Water Gang.

But the Blackwater Gang’s branch in Changze County should not have such a master.

The two major gangs had been living in peace before, and there has been no news of any conflict recently.

And judging by the bodies found at the scene, it seemed more like an accidental encounter between the two parties rather than a premeditated ambush.

If this is the case, then the murderer is most likely an outsider.

The deaths of Cui Yong and the two white servants seemed like a long-planned vendetta.

Meng Liangyu stroked his chin, pondered for a long time, and gradually figured out some clues.

If you want to investigate, you can first check the outsiders who have entered Changze County in recent days, and you should be able to find something.

Of course, Meng Liangyu had no intention of investigating the case in a big way. He was bored anyway, so he just found something to do.

……

Nine people died in Changze County overnight, causing quite a stir.

But after a few days, the turmoil subsided.

The county government hastily buried the body and disposed of it as if nothing had ever happened, and there was no news of anyone investigating the case.

However, Captain Meng would occasionally lead people to visit every household to comfort people and tell them to relax and not be afraid.

The Evil Wolf Gang stepped up their alert and looked around for information, but unfortunately, they had no clues and gained nothing.

For the following period of time, no such incidents occurred again and Changze County returned to peace.

That long, snowy night seemed just a coincidence.

This incident actually brought an unexpected benefit to the people of Changze County.

For a period of time since then, the Evil Wolf Gang and a group of white servants have been much more low-key, and their arrogance and domineering attitude have obviously been restrained.

The people in the county all breathed a sigh of relief, secretly applauded, and hoped that the Evil Wolf Gang would disappear completely.
