Sweet as candy

It's been a long time since Mu Yunyi left, no one came to harass Xiao Lang, and he felt a little bored in the rare leisure.

If Mu Yunyi knew about this, it would be okay, people had to block the door every day.

Fortunately, it didn't take long for the cases that he sent people to the branch to investigate gradually to come over.

Xue Shiji crossed one leg, sat on the edge of the table, held the stack of letters between his fingers, and helped Xiao Lang search for them: "There are really a few, and they were also dug out to death on the day of their birthday. But the corpse The places where they are abandoned are different, some are thrown directly into the wild, some are thrown into the river, and some are left at home.”

"I haven't been able to find out the murderer, so the case has been lying there, and one case even happened three years ago." Xue Shiji continued: "One more thing, the places where these cases happened are far away from each other. Could it be that the murderer really exists? Is that leisurely and carefree, running all over the world to kill people?"

With his lips tightly closed, Xiao Lang ticked off the details of the several cases submitted and compared them one by one.

At the end, he pointed to the two places on the paper and said: "Zhaojiazhuang and Hexi Town are far away, unless the murderer leaves for the other place non-stop after killing the first person, it will be difficult to catch up in such a short time." arrive."

Xue Shiji was taken aback, and Xiao Lang said, "However, how can he ensure that the next place he arrives at, the target's birthday will also happen to be?"

Xue Shiji murmured: "God, what on earth is he thinking, can't he see that he can celebrate his birthday?"

"There is more than one murderer." Xiao Lang said: "How is the investigation at Nian Dayao?"

Xue Shiji said: "A few days ago, I brought people there to make a fuss. Back then, Dayao seemed confident and let his brothers toss about in it without changing his face."

When Xiao Lang tested him that day, he also had a calm expression.Xiao Lang thought for a while, and said: "Don't just stare at him, you must focus on those who worked with Ji Hua before and who are most familiar with him, and don't let go of any clues."

As soon as Xiao Lang finished his explanation, the black workshop over there soon took action.

Among the group of people who worked with Ji Hua, there was a man named Liu Xian who came half a year earlier than Ji Hua, rain or shine every day, until the second day when the government came here, he suddenly proposed to leave.

"This rat is finally willing to move his nest." Xue Shiji said: "After he settled the money, he sneaked all the way to the bank. The brothers watched him go in empty-handed, and when he came out, he held his hands tightly in his arms. Looking around like a wolf, you can tell that you have taken a lot of money."

"I still wanted to hire a car to escape. The brothers saw that if I followed him, I was afraid that everyone would slip away, so they arrested him."

In the interrogation room of the Martial Arts League, Liu Xian sat tremblingly in the corner, with his hands clasped tightly on his knees, his eyes filled with fear, and he kept poking out.

A person like him has never really seen the methods of interrogation in Jianghu.Those disciples had just brought him in, and before they could show their hands to threaten him, he rolled his eyes and fainted in fear.

The disciples looked at each other, they could only send someone to invite Xiao Lang here.

After Liu Xian woke up, the people in the room had disappeared, and there were people guarding outside, and the voice of talking could be faintly heard.

He hunched over, his eyes frantically looking around, if he had known that this matter would cause such a big mess, he shouldn't have been in this muddy water!

The door was pushed open, and two people came in one after the other.

The person in front was wearing blue clothes, and there was no expression of joy or anger on his face. When he came in, he stared at him with a pair of dark eyes, which made his heart shudder uncontrollably.

The man behind him swayed three times, folded his arms, and looked smiling, but the way he looked at him was definitely not friendly.

Liu Xian was almost wiped clean by the sight of these two people, his palms were sweating like rain, and when he was in extreme torment, the person in front finally said softly: "Liu Xian?"

"...Yes." Liu Xian replied like a mosquito, and immediately said: "Guard, I am innocent."

The man behind snickered, "Master?"

Xiao Lang glanced at him, Xue Shiji coughed twice, stood in front of Liu Xian, completely covered him with a shadow, and bared his teeth to threaten deliberately: "We haven't asked you yet, why are you innocent?"

Liu Xianqi Ai Ai said: "I usually don't dare to do any bad things, sir, did you arrest the wrong person?"

Xiao Lang ignored his excuses, and said in a deep voice, "Ji Hua, do you know him?"

He really lacked experience in concealing it. As soon as Ji Hua's name was spoken, he seemed to have seen a ghost, and his eyes widened suddenly: "No, I don't know him."

"He worked with you at Nian Dayao's place, and we meet each other day and night, do you say you don't know him?" Xiao Lang said coldly: "Liu Xian, I advise you to hire him truthfully. Our rules here, every time If you lie, cut off a finger."

As soon as the words fell, Xue Shiji's shoulders sank, and a gleaming dagger flew out from his sleeve, sticking to Liu Xian's hand and inserting it straight into the table in front of him.

Liu Xian's face was pale, Xiao Lang glanced at the dagger, and reminded: "Forgive you for not understanding the rules, I will let you go this first time. If you do it again..."

Xue Shiji cooperatively pulled out the dagger in front of him, gently blew the sawdust on the blade, and put it back into his sleeve humming a little tune.

With such a blatant threat, Liu Xian has behaved well.

"The day Ji Hua died, what were you doing?"

"I work in the workshop."

Xue Shiji snorted, Liu Xian was really afraid of the scene he saw just now, and before he could say anything, he was busy proving: "Really! I signed a contract with Nian Dayao, if he dares to be lazy and not do things, he Kill me alive!"

Xiao Lang gestured for Xue Shiji to continue threatening with his eyes, and said, "What do you have to do with Ji Hua's death?"

This question is of great importance, and Liu Xian inevitably hesitated for a moment, still frightened out of his wits.

Xiao Lang said softly: "Be honest and be lenient, Liu Xian, you don't think about yourself, you also think about the family of three in your hometown."

Liu Xian suddenly raised his head, Xiao Lang stared at him deeply.He knew that everything in his home must be under their control.

People are at the end of the world, who is not just thinking about it.

Liu Xian lowered his head and tore silently in his heart for a while, finally gave up, and sighed: "I really don't know, one question will kill him."

Xiao Lang and Xue Shiji were startled at the same time.

"In the dark market, there is a man named Fifth Brother." Liu Xian said slowly: "He sells news, and he can make a living in the dark market. People like us who go around looking for a living want to I hope I can get some way to make money from his subordinates."

"One day Brother Wu told us that there was an easy job, but it was more difficult to find."

"He said that there is a buyer who is looking for someone born at the time of Yin on the sixth day of the winter moon at a high price. As long as he can find it, he will immediately reward him with 500 taels."

Xiao Lang frowned: "The person he is looking for must be careful enough to match the time?"

"Yes." Liu Xian sighed: "He also explained that this matter can only be searched silently, and no one should be alarmed. I was thinking about the 500 taels, and I searched hard for a long time but failed to find the right person. It took me two months Later, Ji Hua came here."

Speaking of this, he paused: "I was about to give up at that time, but he casually mentioned to me that his birthday was coming soon. I asked casually, but who knew that the date would be right. Asking about the time, unexpectedly Exactly the same."

"At that time, I felt that God wanted me to get the money. I went to Brother Wu and told him about Ji Hua, and he gave me the money the next day."

Xiao Lang said coldly: "You don't even know what the other party is looking for, so you dare to help them?"

Liu Xian's eyes were red: "It's all a greedy word that killed me. After I took the money, I saw that Ji Hua was still doing things alive and kicking every day, so I didn't think much about it. Who knew, who knew that he would die suddenly!"

He was indeed greedy. After Ji Hua's death, he knew that something was wrong, so he didn't immediately take the silver and run away. Instead, he kept the silver and stayed here honestly to continue working. The thought of encountering such a chance to get money for nothing.

Xiao Lang looked at him indifferently, watching him express his repentance after being arrested after Ji Hua's death for so long, crying bitterly in front of him belatedly.

What's the use, Ji Hua is gone.

He leaned back slightly, as if he was tired of the flushed face in front of him, and slowly closed his eyes: "The fifth brother you mentioned, is there any way to contact him?"
