Crossing the Sword

Ye Shisan was somewhat puzzled after hearing this, and turned to ask, "Acting? What kind of acting?"

Ling Fei smiled and said, "Here's what happened. His opponent today is Feng Si, a contestant from the Youxiong Kingdom, who is the son of Feng Hou. Their levels were similar, and the two fought for a long time, but Zhuan Meng risked his injuries to pretend that nothing had happened. In the end, Feng Si admitted defeat when he saw that he was seriously injured while he was fine. But as soon as Feng Si admitted defeat, he couldn't hold on any longer. He spurted out a large mouthful of blood and couldn't even stand steadily. He had to rely on the long sword to support his body to avoid falling down." In fact, for Ye Shisan and Ling Fei, these were all basic tricks of deceiving each other. It was just a rare monster fight for Jingwei and the others.

But it happened that their rare encounter with the monster gave Ye Shisan some inspiration. After listening to Ling Fei's explanation, and thinking of the word "acting" they had mentioned before, a light bulb went off in his head. Without saying a word, he stood up and rushed out. Ling Fei and the others felt a little puzzled, but they all followed him out.

Arriving at the crime scene, the guard came forward to salute Ye Shisan when he saw him. Ye Shisan just nodded slightly and rushed into the house. Since the crime happened, the scene has been well protected. No one except Ye Shisan and his companions is allowed to enter. So as soon as Ye Shisan thought of the clue, he immediately came to the scene to verify it.

When Ling Fei and his companions arrived, they found Ye Shisan picking up the broken bolt. He then went to the door and looked at the bolt ring. He raised his head and sighed, "I think I have figured it out." Then he frowned again and continued, "But how did he kill Kwa Leng? Is he really that powerful?"

When Jingwei heard this, he immediately stepped forward and asked, "Good boy, who do you suspect is the murderer? What is going on?"

Ye Shisan was thinking about the case at the moment. When he heard his question, he turned a deaf ear and turned to Ling Fei and asked, "Brother Ling, I have a question. You must answer me honestly. How good is Zhuan Meng's kung fu? If he wants to kill Kualeng, can he prevent him from escaping?"

Upon hearing this, Ling Fei hurriedly shook his head and said, "You are not suspecting the Seventeenth Prince, are you? That's impossible! His kung fu is only about the same as Kua Leng's. Moreover, they are not familiar with each other at all, and it is difficult for them to launch a sneak attack. Uh..." After a pause, Ling Fei continued, "What I just said is what I know, and there is no personal emotion in it." Although he was unhappy with Zhuanxu's personality, emotionally Ling Fei still did not think that Zhuan Meng could be the murderer, so in the end, he deliberately guaranteed his words.

But Ye Shisan was not disturbed by his words. After listening, he lowered his head and thought hard: "That's strange. How did he kill Kualeng? Without the other party's trust, even if he really attacked secretly, he couldn't kill him instantly. And it would take time to make the body like that." But no one could answer his question. Ling Fei didn't say much and could only wait on the side.

Ling Fei had enough patience. Bai Yu and Jing Wei waited for a while, but they both became impatient. The latter walked around the room a few times out of boredom, and finally picked up the small golden incense burner on the table and started to play with it out of boredom. Ling Fei saw it and hurriedly stopped them, "Don't touch anything at the scene!"

Maybe he was a little depressed because Ye Shisan thought Zhuan Meng was the murderer, so his voice was a little loud when he spoke. Jingwei was startled by him, and her hand shook, and the incense burner fell to the ground and broke, and the spices inside also fell to the ground in twos and threes. Jingwei was afraid of ruining the scene, so she bent down to clean up.

Ye Shisan suddenly said at this time: "Don't move!"

Jingwei was frightened by him again and stopped quickly. Having been frightened twice, she was a little at a loss at this time.

Ye Shisan immediately turned around and picked up a few spices from the ground. Finally, he picked up one of them, put it to his nose and smelled it, and said, "I understand, I finally understand!"

Bai Yu laughed when he heard this and said, "Brother, what do you understand now? Did you suddenly get inspiration and come up with a couplet?"

Ye Shisan shook his head and said to the guards, "Please help gather everyone here. I want to expose the murderer in public." Seeing the wise light in Ye Shisan's eyes, Ling Fei knew that the truth would soon be revealed. He opened his mouth and wanted to say something, but finally held back.

Since today's competition had just ended, all the participants were not wandering around, so they were gathered together quickly. What Ye Shisan didn't expect was that Bai Yu actually used the message jade talisman to call Qingdi. As soon as Qingdi appeared, he immediately asked Zhang Tianya, "Shisan, I was right about you. I didn't expect you to solve the case so quickly. Then come and tell me, who is the murderer?"

Ye Shisan immediately bowed and shook his head, saying, "Your Majesty, if I point out the murderer's mistake now, he will definitely refute it immediately. Although it will not affect the result, it will cause a lot more unnecessary arguments. It is better for me to first tell the murderer how he killed people, and then step by step reveal the murderer's identity, leaving him speechless.

The Green Emperor nodded with interest and said, "Okay, you can say whatever you want."

Ye Shisan gave the order and turned around and said, "When I'm telling you the story, if you have any questions, you can always ask them." He said this to make his words more convincing, so he would answer everyone's questions one by one. After a pause, he began to say, "We made a mistake before. Since the time between the last time we saw Kualeng and the time we learned of his death was very short, we thought that the murderer must be someone with much higher martial arts skills than him, or someone he would not be on guard against. Now this idea has been denied."

Jingwei thought of the spices just now and immediately asked, "Spices?"

"That's right!" Ye Shisan answered with certainty, and casually raised the piece of spices that was different from the other spices, and continued: "Its name is Awakening Lion Drunk. After burning this spice, the smell it emits is no different from normal high-quality spices. But it has a special effect, just like its name, after people inhale it, it's like being drunk, and their reactions are much worse than usual. In this case, as long as the murderer's martial arts are not much worse than Kua Leng, he can be killed instantly!"

Yi, who had changed his name to Hou Yi, no longer felt depressed after losing to Ye Shisan. He listened to Zhang Tianya's analysis with great interest. He interrupted and asked, "In this case, the suspects should be wider than before. How did you find the murderer?"
