Sword Roaring in the Sky

Chapter 157 The Four Noble Truths (Second update, please give me a monthly ticket)
When Sun Yanwan woke up in the morning, she saw Wu Zhi bringing back some breakfast. Lu Shuangfeng also pushed the door open and walked out. She couldn't help but smile and said, "After breakfast, let's go investigate the case."

Wu Zhi divided up the breakfast, which consisted of meat porridge, meat patties, and the like. He whispered, "I went to the government office last night and checked the relevant case files."

Sun Yanwan asked, "Can you still check the case files in the middle of the night?"

Wu Zhi replied, "Go over the wall and check."

Sun Yanwan nodded. He originally thought that Wu Zhi had some friends in Luo Jing, but now he knew that she was just relying on her martial arts to get the treasure.

Wu Zhi took a bite of the meat pie and said, "Recently, there have been a total of 128 thefts and 11 robberies near Luojing. I've excluded all cases involving amounts less than 10,000 guan, and there are still seven thefts and five robberies!"

"Five of the seven thefts have culprits, likely the work of the renowned thief Wuying Hou. They have nothing to do with us, so we don't need to worry about them."

"The remaining two are unsolved thefts. One involved the theft of 180,000 strings of silver for frontier troops, and the other involved the theft of 70,000 strings of gold, silver, and jewelry from the Marquis of Hailing's mansion."

"These five cases were all robberies involving escort silver. The Divine Sword Escort Agency had the smallest amount of money involved! The largest case was the Longwei Escort Agency case, but Longwei Escort Agency was wealthy and powerful, so they gritted their teeth and paid the compensation, and no one made a fuss."

"Every time someone robs a caravan, someone dies..."

Sun Yanwan gave a thumbs up. This is called professionalism. Wu Zhi’s moves are extraordinary.

He also understood why Wu Zhi wanted to check the files, because even he could hear that, leaving aside the two theft cases, these five robbery cases must be related.

Lu Shuangfeng also understood the situation. He hadn't originally thought that this small-time constable from a remote place could be very capable. Although Wu Zhi's martial arts skills were unfathomable and seemed to be on par with his own, he still didn't think Wu Zhi could help. Now, he was full of admiration and said, "I also asked the gang where the crime occurred. Someone went to see the bodies of the deceased escorts from the Divine Sword Escort Agency. They were all wounded by swords!"

"And the sword path is very strange..."

Wu Zhi said calmly, "I've checked the files of the other four escort agencies, and the victims were all wounded by swords. An experienced coroner had examined the injuries, but the files were torn up. I can only judge from the remaining fragments. The wounds were all below the ribs, as if the person who drew the sword used to swing the sword sideways."

Sun Yanwan's eyes widened as he listened. He really didn't know how to handle the case, but he could also hear that both Wu Zhi and Lu Shuangfeng were experienced and had already found many clues from the traces.

He originally thought that Lu Shuangfeng would only go to Fanlou to eat and drink for free!

When Sun Yanwan heard both of them mention that the murderer was a swordsman and that his sword moves were very strange, a vague idea suddenly popped up in his mind. He stood up, drew his Lingxi sword, and said, "Brother Lu, let's have a few moves."

Lu Shuangfeng didn't know why he wanted to fight, but she still stood up and said, "Brother Yan Wan, feel free to fight."

Sun Yanwan slightly turned sideways, and the Lingxi soft sword was like a poisonous snake, with seven sword flowers pointing at Lu Shuangfeng's left rib.

Lu Shuangfeng's eyes immediately turned red. He stretched out two fingers and lightly tapped. Sun Yanwan's Lingxi soft sword fell down like a poisonous snake with its bones pulled out. The heir of Shaochan Temple said bitterly, "Guanxin Sect, the blind man's magic sword."

"Only these fake and real blind men would avoid attacking head-on. Because the real blind men can't see the enemy's sword path, they must move sideways to avoid the middle path. The fake blind men have also been led astray."

Wu Zhi asked, "Guan Xin Sect, what is the origin of the Blind Man's Sword? How did Brother Yan Wan also know this style of swordsmanship?"

Lu Shuangfeng said: "The Guanxin Sect is the same as the Qinglong Tower. They are both assassin organizations. Even most of the time, they will pretend to be the Qinglong Tower."

"After all, there are Azure Dragons everywhere in the world, and there are too many assassination organizations pretending to be Azure Dragon Tower."

"As for why Yan Wan has the Blind Man's Sword, he must have been assassinated by the blind men of the Guanxin Sect."

Sun Yanwan took a deep breath of true energy and said, "I've encountered him twice, and I even got a copy of the Blind Man's Sword." Although Lu Shuangfeng knew that Sun Yanwan was definitely not a member of the Guanxin Sect, she still had some doubts in her heart. She asked curiously, "With your talent, it's not surprising that he learned a few moves of the Blind Man's Sword. But how did you manage to wield the Blind Man's Sword so well? I almost thought I had encountered one of those fake blind men."

Sun Yanwan shrugged and said, "The Blind Man's Sword specializes in practicing hidden meridians. I just happen to have opened up this hidden meridian."

Lu Shuangfeng laughed dumbly, nodded, and said, "No wonder!"

Sun Yanwan thought of Lu Shuangfeng's finger move and asked, "Brother Lu, which magical skill did you learn from Shaochan Temple? That finger move just now was very clever!"

"Although I didn't use the Songyang School's swordsmanship just now, even if I did, I'm afraid I wouldn't be able to dodge Brother Lu's finger."

Lu Shuangfeng smiled and said, "I don't like weapons, so I learned the Four Noble Truths Finger!"

Sun Yanwan said, "The Four Noble Truths: suffering, origin, cessation, and path! Anyone who can incorporate them into the finger technique, whether it's the creator or the master, is truly remarkable."

Wu Zhi said, "In other words, the people who committed these serious crimes, including the robbery and murder, are from the Guanxin Sect?"

Before Lu Shuangfeng could answer, Ding Feng rushed in and said, "The case is solved!"

Sun Yanwan was shocked and asked, "How come the case was solved before we even took any action?"

Ding Feng smiled bitterly and said, "The senior disciples of Shaochan Temple and Songyang Sect have taken action and sworn before the spirit of Thunder Blade Master Tai Bing that they will capture the murderer and recover the dart money!"

"Guess who's behind this and how dare they hold on?"

"Last night, someone sent the silver back to the Divine Sword Escort Agency, along with the murderer's head."

Wu Zhi asked, "Is the murderer blind?"

Ding Feng shook his head and replied, "There are no blind people. They are all famous lone thieves on the street. Someone has already identified the identity of the murderer."

Lu Shuangfeng, Wu Zhi, and Sun Yanwan glanced at each other. They could all tell what the other was thinking. Each one asked the other two, "Should we continue investigating?"

Sun Yanwan smiled lightly and said, "I always feel that some things should just be left alone."

"Life is just a matter of getting by. If you can't get by, then don't live."

"But this time, I want to be stubborn."

Wu Zhi laughed and said, "Originally, I wanted to say that if you gave up, I would like to investigate alone."

"Money is fine, but it's unacceptable that someone died in vain."

Lu Shuangfeng laughed and said, "What else can I say?"

"I was born into a noble and upright family, and I was always taught to uphold justice in the world."

Only Ding Feng couldn't understand what these three people were saying?
Isn't the case closed?
Even though he knew that there must be someone behind this case, but... it can really be considered closed.
