Blind Ghostwriter: Starts with the full level of Nine Yang Magic Skill

Chapter 14 The clue is broken
The next day, early in the morning.

Early in the morning, Qu Heng and his group packed their luggage and left.

Gu Mo handed the heads of Tie Luohan and Master Kuxin to Qu Heng, and asked Qu Heng to take them to Linjiang City and give them to Yan Sanniang. These two heads could still be worth a lot of money. It would be a pity to throw them away, but it would also be inconvenient to carry them with him.

Qu Heng had seen Gu Mo's martial arts and knew that Gu Mo was now a ghostwriter, so he didn't ask Gu Mo what his mission was in Zhushan County. He just told him to be careful and left. As for why Gu Mo's martial arts improved by leaps and bounds, he didn't ask too much.

As for helping Gu Mo take the two heads, he naturally would not refuse.

After seeing off Qu Heng and his group,

Gu Mo also said goodbye to Tang Buyi.

"Brother Gu, now that you've finished your business, you must come to my house to play for two days. Although Zhushan County is not as good as Linjiang City, it also has its own characteristics. I'll take you there to play."

Gu Mo nodded slightly and said, "If I have time, I will definitely come and bother you."

"I'll wait for you," Tang Buyi said. "Well, if Brother Gu needs anything, you can always come to me. I'll be at home all the time. My words are still quite useful in Zhushan County."

"Okay," Gu Mo said without hesitation, "If you really run into trouble, be sure to come find Brother Tang. Goodbye!"

"Take care," Tang Buyi waved to Gu Chudong again and said, "Take care, sister Chudong!"

Gu Chudong waved her hand, helped Gu Mo into the carriage, and left quickly.

……

After leaving the Tang family,
Gu Mo and Gu Chudong came to a relatively busy street and found a pawnshop called Zhicheng Pawnshop.

This pawnshop is run by Yan Sanniang's secret agent, Wen Yong, who is known as the Night Mouse in the underworld. On the surface, it is a pawnshop and also lends money at high interest rates, but in fact it is a business of selling stolen goods, and tomb robbers, pickpockets and other all kinds of people are welcome.

"Brother, something is wrong. This pawnshop is closed and sealed!" said Gu Chudong.

Gu Mo couldn't see it, so he asked, "Ask the people in the shop next door."

"it is good."

Immediately,

Gu Chudong walked towards a shop nearby, and Gu Mo followed. Although Gu Mo could not see, his perception was very strong. Unless he encountered some special situations, he could basically walk like a normal person, but he needed to walk a little slower in unfamiliar places.

Next to the pawnshop was a grocery store. The owner was a middle-aged woman in her forties. She was very enthusiastic, but when she heard that Gu Chudong was not buying anything, she instantly became cold.

Gu Chudong quickly said, "Boss, I pawned something at this pawnshop a few days ago. I wanted to get it back today, but the pawnshop was sealed. What's going on?"

The female shop owner curled her lips and said, "Then you should just give up. You can't get your things back. The night before yesterday, the shop was robbed. The owner was killed, and all the valuables were stolen."

"The boss's name is Wenyong, right?"

"Yes," said the female shop owner, "I heard he died a very tragic death, with half his head cut off!"

"Has the murderer been caught?"

"I don't know. You'll have to go to the government office and ask."

"Okay, thank you boss."

Gu Chudong and Gu Mo left the grocery store. Gu Chudong asked, "Brother, what should we do now? Wen Yong is dead, how can we find Feilong?" Gu Mo thought for a moment and said, "Go to the Tang family and ask Tang Buyi to help inquire at the government office to see if Wen Yong has left any clues about Feilong. If he can't find any, we can only ask Tang Buyi to mobilize his power in Zhushan County to see if he can find Feilong."

"Brother, could it be that Feilong killed Wenyong?" Gu Chudong asked, "Could he have left Zhushan County?"

Gu Mo thought for a moment and said, "If that's the case, then there's a possibility that Feilong must still be in Zhushan County, and he's going to stay in one place for a long time and can't move. Wen Yong is the only one who knows his whereabouts, and he's worried that Wen Yong will expose his whereabouts, so he chose to kill him to silence him.

Of course, it's also possible that he and Feilong had a conflict of interest, or that Feilong knew he was going to betray his whereabouts and killed him out of anger, or perhaps Feilong didn't kill him at all. However, all of these require understanding the crime scene before we can infer the situation at the time."

……

Gu Mo and Gu Chudong immediately rushed back to the Tang family.

Hearing the doorman's announcement that Gu Mo and Gu Chudong had returned, Tang Buyi immediately came out to greet them. As soon as he saw Gu Mo and Gu Chudong at the door, he hurriedly asked, "Brother Gu, Sister Chudong, have you finished your business?"

"No," Gu Mo said with a bow, "Brother Tang, we are in some trouble and would like to ask for your help."

"No problem, just tell me." Tang Buyi agreed.

Gu Mo said, "I was originally going to look for a friend, but when I got there, I learned that he was murdered the night before yesterday. Do you have any connections in the government? Could you help us find out the details?"

"That's no problem," Tang Buyi said, "I have a lot of friends at the county government office. I can take you there right now."

Immediately,

Tang Buyi got on Gu Mo's carriage and headed straight to the county government office.

Tang Buyi's identity as the eldest son of the Tang family was still very useful, and the inspector from the Inspection Office came to meet them in person.

The inspector said, "According to our inspection department's investigation of the scene, we have preliminarily determined that Wen Yong and the murderer should know each other. Wen Yong was secretly engaged in the business of selling stolen goods. On the night of the crime, he sent his servants away and stayed alone in the shop. He must have been meeting his partners. His partners were either tomb robbers or pickpockets. They were all shady people. In the past, he would meet with them alone.

Judging from the situation at the crime scene, there was no sign of resistance. Wen Yong was killed with one blow. The opponent was a master knife user. He cut Wen Yong's head in half with one blow. The cut was smooth, which was impossible for someone without high skills.

The other party was most likely venting their anger, as Wen Yong's limbs were all chopped off. According to the coroner's investigation, Wen Yong's death was preceded by the loss of half his head and then his limbs. Furthermore, the other party wasn't seeking wealth, as Wen Yong's shop had many valuables, which he hadn't touched.

Gu Chudong asked doubtfully, "Didn't they say that all the valuables in the store were taken away?"

"No," the inspector said, "the things in the shop were stolen the next day. It was a servant in Wenyong's shop. When he went to open the shop that morning, he found Wenyong dead. He got greedy and stole a lot of valuables and hid them. He then reported the crime. The detectives from our inspection department found out."

"Then, are there any clues about the murderer?"

"not yet."

Afterwards, Gu Mo asked some more questions, but didn't get much useful information, so he said goodbye and left.

After coming out of the government office,

Gu Chudong leaned over to Gu Mo and whispered, "Brother, it's most likely Feilong's doing. He's an expert with a knife, he was venting his anger, and he's an acquaintance. It's very likely that Feilong found out that Wen Yong betrayed him, so he went to kill Wen Yong to vent his anger. It definitely couldn't be an enemy, otherwise Wen Yong wouldn't have taken the initiative to send his servants away to meet him alone."

Gu Mo thought for a while and said to Tang Buyi, "Brother Tang, let me tell you the truth. I'm a ghostwriter and came to Zhushan County to apprehend a wanted criminal. Feilong, the leader of the Pegasus Gang, and the murdered Wen Yong were my undercover agents for the Zhuifeng Tower. I suspect Feilong killed him. Now Feilong is very likely hiding somewhere in Zhushan County. Your Tang family has great influence in Zhushan County. Can you help find him?"

"This……"

Tang Buyi said in embarrassment: "Brother Gu, it's not that I don't want to help, but I can't make the decision on this matter. I know Feilong is a vicious and cruel person. My Tang family may not be willing to provoke him. I need to ask my father. Only if he agrees can I use the power of my Tang family!"
