Wuxia: Start with max-level Nine Yang Divine Skill

Mu Tianying felt as if she had seen a savior.

"Brother Han, Officer Duan, thank God you are here!"

The real culprit in my second brother's case will surely be found as soon as possible.

Please help the Mu family find out which scoundrel harmed my second brother... Find the murderer and avenge him!

Just then, the ink-wash calligraphy reappeared before Li Fu's eyes.

A martial arts master of the state, who often stood up for the weak and eliminated evil for the people in his youth, died tragically at home on his sixtieth birthday, leaving his family heartbroken and devastated.

We urge you, sir, to find and punish the true culprit, and to uphold justice and punish evil.

Reward – Mastery of the Eighteen Subduing Dragon Palms!

When Li Fu heard that the reward of the Heroic Heavenly Book was the mastery of the Eighteen Subduing Dragon Palms, his eyes lit up.

"Now that I have mastered the Nine Yang Divine Skill, I am lacking a martial arts technique."

The Eighteen Subduing Dragon Palms are unparalleled in their power and ferocity, and are best paired with the Nine Yang True Qi. This skill must be mastered!

However, the investigation into the killer is currently at a complete standstill.

Who is this murderer? Why did they want to kill Mu Tianxiong?

"Thank you for your high regard, Master Mu. Wen Yuan will certainly do his utmost to solve the case and bring peace to Master Mu's spirit in heaven!"

"I, Duan Gang, admire heroes the most. When Master Mu was young, countless villains and petty scoundrels fell into his hands and died under his sword."

His death is deeply regrettable. I will definitely find that damned murderer and tear him to pieces!

At Mu Tianying's invitation, Han Wenyuan and Duan Gang immediately began clearing the area.

Han Wenyuan bowed to the guests and said, "Distinguished guests, the Second Master Mu has suddenly met with misfortune. This is a shocking tragedy."

To preserve the dignity of the deceased, a thorough examination of the site is necessary. We kindly request that you all temporarily move back to the front hall and sit for a while.

If there's anything I need to ask, I'll certainly consult you later.

Duan Gang stood to one side with his imposing figure, his gaze sweeping across the room like lightning. Though he did not speak, his awe-inspiring presence spoke volumes.

Although the guests were surprised and suspicious, the famous constable looked solemn and knew that the matter was serious, so they quietly left one after another.

Just as everyone was leaving.

Han Wenyuan's gaze swept across the crowd and stopped on Li Fu.

After a moment's thought, he said, "Young Brother Li, have you ever handled a case? Let's come forward together to examine the case, brainstorm ideas, and find the murderer who killed Master Mu as soon as possible."

As soon as he said this, all eyes turned to Li Fu in the crowd.

Surprise appeared on everyone's faces. Why would Officer Han invite this young constable to participate?

Does this mean they value the school entrance exam?

Facing the gazes of the crowd, Li Fu showed no stage fright and stepped forward confidently.

In his previous life, he worked as a private investigator, which was also a job similar to pursuing the truth, only without the official status.

It would be best if he could get involved in the case, and hopefully the culprit could be caught as soon as possible.

Many people had heard of Li Fu pushing the cart outside the mansion gate, whose internal strength was indeed formidable; his martial arts skills were indeed remarkable.

But judging cases and catching criminals requires experience and expertise. Can this greenhorn handle it?

Questions appeared on many people's faces.

"Gentlemen, please leave now."

Some people wanted to stay and take a look.

Before they could think further, Han Wenyuan once again cupped his hands and asked everyone to leave.

Duan Gang crossed his arms, glanced at Li Fu sideways, and gave a cold snort through his nostrils.

Clearly, they were very unhappy that Han Wenyuan had invited this junior constable to stand with them to examine the scene.

Once everyone was gone, the scene was desolate, relatives were filled with resentment, and a somber and heavy atmosphere permeated the air.

Without further hesitation, the three immediately bent down to examine the object.

Han Wenyuan crouched down to examine Mu Tianxiong's corpse closely; his brocade robe was torn, and there were several deep wounds on his chest.

He lightly brushed the fabric with two fingers, staring intently at the depth and direction of the wound: "The edges of the wound are sharp and smooth; the weapon was extremely thin and fast."

Duan Gang stood by the door, his eyes scanning the bloodstains on the ground and the marks on the threshold. He then paced back and forth, measuring the distance between the corpse and the doorway, and observing the direction in which the tables and chairs had overturned.

"Blood splattered from the threshold to the body, and the tables and chairs were overturned to the inside, indicating that the attack occurred at the door and the victim retreated all the way here."

Li Fu's gaze remained calm as he carefully examined the body's wounds and the marks on the ground, adding to the discussion.

"The wounds were mostly slashed diagonally upwards, and there were drag marks on the victim's heels. The murderer must have taken advantage of the victim's unpreparedness when he opened the door and suddenly attacked. Master Mu retreated hastily to defend himself."

Han Wenyuan nodded: "What you said is correct."

Judging from the situation, Second Master Mu was suddenly attacked at the door, completely unprepared.

Therefore, the perpetrator must have been an acquaintance of Master Mu, and their relationship must have been very close.

Otherwise, how could I expect him to open the door and greet me?

"It was a despicable sneak attack, of course!" Mu Tianhao roared, his beard and hair bristling. "With Second Brother's skills, I doubt anyone in the world could seriously injure or kill him in just a few moves in a direct confrontation!"

He glared at the doorway. "So, among today's guests, there might be a murderer?"

Since they have a close relationship, he was naturally invited to the birthday banquet.

"Go! Don't let a single one leave! Detain them all!"

Enraged, Mu Tianjie immediately issued a stern order.

"Fourth brother, you mustn't!" Mu Tianying hurriedly stopped him, suppressing his grief, "There may be a murderer among the guests, but most are innocent."

Forcing everyone to stay would be extremely impolite and would only cause trouble!

Li Fu listened from the side and understood Mu Tianying's concerns.

The guests are all prominent figures; forcibly detaining them, even if some are willing to cooperate in the investigation to prove their innocence, could still cause dissatisfaction among others.

"Does this mean we won't release him until the case is solved? No matter how powerful the Mu family is, they wouldn't dare to be so domineering."

Duan Gang analyzed the interface, speaking at an extremely fast pace, seemingly trying to compete with Han Wenyuan.

"The murderer is extremely skilled in martial arts."

Even an ordinary, mediocre fighter would find it difficult to succeed in a sneak attack against Master Mu, let alone render him powerless to fight back and stagger back to the table to his death.

The moves were as fast as lightning, and the weapon was like a short knife...

Han Wenyuan examined the wounds all over the body and added: "The first move was a direct strike to the vital points, piercing the lungs and internal organs, leaving Second Master Mu unable to call for help, suffocating and choking on blood."

Thinking of their second brother's death, the Mu brothers' eyes were bloodshot, and Mu Tianhao's tiger-like eyes were filled with tears.

Li Fu immediately followed up with the conversation.

"This person has a deep-seated hatred for Master Mu."

The sneak attack succeeded; a second blow would have been fatal, yet he stabbed her more than ten times, clearly a brutal act of revenge!

To reveal the last clue that could be analyzed from the scene.

The three elders of the Mu family, the county magistrate, and the constables present were initially just surprised and suspicious of Li Fu's involvement, but as the case analysis was completed, they found that Li Fu's words were always to the point.

Whether analyzing wound characteristics, deducing the course of the attack, or pointing out that the culprit must be an acquaintance, his insights surprisingly coincided with those of the two famous detectives, Han and Duan.

His speech was clear and logical, showing none of the naiveté often seen in law enforcement personnel.

The three elders of the Mu family were taken aback, but no longer expressed any dissatisfaction with Li Fu's participation in the case investigation.

Han Wenyuan then asked, "What deep-seated grudge does Second Master Mu have?"

The three Mu brothers looked at each other and smiled bitterly.

Mu Tianying sighed: "It's inevitable that feuds will form in the martial arts world."

When my three brothers and I were young, we roamed the martial arts world of Yanzhou, killing countless villains and scoundrels.

As one gets older, one may have made many heroic friends, but also just as many enemies, both known and unknown.

The clues have led to a dead end.

Han Wenyuan looked around at everyone.

"Judging from the body, Master Mu was killed less than the time it takes for an incense stick to burn."

The most urgent task is to question the guests in the front hall to find out who left their seats when the incident occurred.

All invitees, whether they attend or not, should take note.

"Master Mu is a seasoned veteran of the martial world. If it weren't for his joyous birthday celebration today, someone would surely have come to pay his respects to him. The assassin would likely have had a difficult time getting close enough to launch a sneak attack."

Li listened silently, piecing together the clues in his mind.

The murderer was someone the deceased knew very well, someone of high status, highly skilled in martial arts, especially adept at using fast knives and swords, and someone with whom the deceased had a deep-seated grudge.

...But with only this clue, the investigation is still like finding a needle in a haystack.
