"Ah! Ah——" Seeing the head rolling down, Kong Hengji was the first to scream, sat down on the ground, and kicked his legs back.
His fierce reaction like a sissy made everyone else calm down.
Lei Buji had also seen dead people and said nothing; although the doctor Tian Wude looked frightened, he still sat there without moving; Xie Run looked at him with a wary expression. Looking at Sun Yixie, his suspicion was palpable.
As for Sun Yixie and Huang Donglai, they simply... got close to the body and started watching.
"Brother Huang, the incision is a bit neat." Sun Yixie said.
"Yes, even if you cut it with a sword, it may not be so neat. I guess it was done by someone with strong martial arts skills." Huang Donglai said.
"And the head suddenly fell off, and the blood did not spurt out, but slowly flowed down..." Sun Yixie added.
"Then he must have been poisoned by some kind of poison that could coagulate the blood before he died, and then his head was cut off and he pretended to be still sleeping." Huang Donglai continued what the other party said.
"Everyone fell asleep just now. Why do you think this murderer only attacked him and not us?" Sun Yixie said.
"That means the murderer has no motive to kill the rest of us, or he just...has some difficulty." Huang Donglai said.
"Oh? For example?" Sun Yixie said.
"For example...actually we didn't fall asleep just now, we just fell into some kind of hallucination. He was the only one who was really asleep, so the murderer could only kill him." Huang Donglai said.
"Well...is there any other possibility?" Sun Yixie asked again.
"For another example... for some reason, the murderer wants or needs us to live, because he has plans for those of us who are alive." Huang Donglai continued, "Of course it is possible... He thinks that we will all die in his hands sooner or later, so he is not in a hurry and wants to play tricks on us."
"What the hell! It's not a good time to stay here for a long time!" Also harmonious.
"That's right!" Huang Donglai said, "There must be something weird, otherwise we should withdraw."
The two of them would say something to each other, and they would talk to each other. As if, he said this very skillfully and naturally, and then he was ready to grab his luggage and run away.
Xie Run thought to himself when he saw it: "You two are really awesome. You are talking to a corpse and you are explaining it? And after you finish talking, you immediately want to rub oil on the soles of your feet... That person What if you two killed them?"
So, he immediately stepped forward and stopped them: "Wait a minute!"
When he shouted, Sun and Huang also acted in the same way. stagnation.
Xie Run then said: "No one can leave until the matter is figured out."
"Why!" At this moment, Kong Hengji interrupted again, " Now the heads are gone, whether they were killed by humans or ghosts, no matter what, it has nothing to do with me! This temple is so evil, you still want us to stay here with you?Can't wait to die? ”
After that, he started to pack the book box, stuffed the books he had just put out to dry randomly back, picked up the book box and prepared to leave.
< p>Xie Runcai didn't care what he thought, he stepped over and pressed his bookcase with one hand: "I said... no one can leave until the matter is figured out. "Kong Hengji was also anxious. He used all his strength to pull the bookcase that was held by the opponent with one hand several times, but the bookcase did not move at all.
"You... Why are you so unreasonable! "Seeing that the other party refused to let him go, Kong Hengji became incompetent and furious.
"Am I unreasonable? Xie Run repeated these words and snorted coldly, "Hmph... If I am really unreasonable, I will kill you all now, and I will feel at ease." He paused, "It's precisely because I'm still reasonable that I said, 'I want to make things clear.' ”
At this point, he no longer pressed Kong Hengji’s bookcase, but raised his hand and pressed it on the scholar’s shoulder.
Kong Hengji heard his words When he said "Kill them all", his face turned pale with fright. At this moment, when Xie Run pressed his shoulder so lightly, Kong Hengji's legs went weak and he knelt down again.
"This elder brother. , are you a bit bullying others? "At this time, Huang Donglai said again, "I see that you don't look like a member of the evil sect. Since you are all righteous in the world, there must be an explanation for your current actions, right? ”
Huang Donglai was still alert. He didn’t fall out with the opponent first, and used Jianghu clichés to test the situation before he said anything.
Xie Run also did this trick. He said: "The matter has come to this, and I will not hide it from you. I am indeed not Xu Ren. My name is Xie Run, and I am the third boss of the Yiyong Escort Bureau - 'Tiger in the Stone' Xie Run." "
The name of a person is the shadow of a tree. Sun Yixie doesn't know his name, but Huang Donglai, the young master of a martial arts family, must have heard of it.
" It turns out to be Brother Xie, whom I have admired for a long time. "Huang Donglai immediately put on a "long-upward face", cupped his fists and saluted.
"Easy to say. Xie Run also bowed back and asked again, "Little brother, just now you only said that your name was Huang Donglai, but you didn't report to the sect. Can you tell me now?" ”
According to Jianghu rules, only when people in the Jianghu exchange names, they will report their sect nicknames and other things together. When introducing themselves to ordinary people, they can only say their names. There is no need to tell other information, because even if you tell it, others may not have heard of it.
So, before...that is, before Xie Run revealed his identity, Huang Donglai was introducing himself. When talking to Sun Lei, he deliberately only mentioned his name and nothing else.
This seemingly insignificant detail is actually very meaningful: first, it can cover up "I already know that I am present." "There are other people in the world among the strangers"; secondly, it's also a courtesy. Since others don't admit it, it means there is some inconvenience, and you don't have to do it.You must do things that may expose others.
"Of course." After being asked, Huang Donglai did not hide it, "In the Huangmen of Xia Shuzhong, Huang Donglai."
As soon as he finished speaking, Xie Runna originally brought His somewhat arrogant expression changed.
The words "Huangmen in Shuzhong" can be interpreted from a certain perspective - no matter how good your martial arts skills are, you may easily die in their hands.
However, from another perspective and after thinking about it, Xie Run felt that this was a very reassuring answer.
First of all, Huangmen is a martial arts family. They have been righteous for generations and have a good reputation. Secondly, if the other party really wants to harm themselves, they can just lie about the name of another sect or be evasive. Just say that you learned from an unknown person, why bother mentioning a sect like the Huang Sect that makes people think of poisoning?
Thinking of this, Xie Run suddenly became enlightened and immediately let go of his wariness towards Sun, Huang and Lei.
"So you are the famous young master of the Huang Clan. I'm disrespectful." Although Xie Run didn't know the specific name of the young master of the Huang Clan before today, he knew that there was only one in this generation of the Huang Clan. Young Master, and he should be about the same age as the young man in front of me, so it is not difficult to come to this conclusion.
"Brother Xie is so polite." Huang Donglai felt that the pleasantries were enough, so he brought the topic back, "Let's talk about the matter at hand first... But I don't know why brother Xie didn't let me Before we leave here, do we have to find out what happened to this dead man first?”
Xie Run thought for a moment, then made up his mind and said, “I’ll tell you the truth now. Well..." As he said that, he gently patted the baggage on his hand that he had not let go of, "Today Xie... was walking escorts; and what happened just now, I suspect there was an evil tiger blocking the way. (Escort lingo)', you want to use your magic skills to deal with me, and that person, or those people, are probably hiding in this temple, or even... mixed in with our group."
As soon as he finished speaking, Kong Hengji beside him became excited again and said loudly: "Don't accuse people of their innocence out of thin air! I am a scholar!"
Xie Run was very calm. He didn't get into a verbal argument with the other party, and just replied calmly: "I can judge who you are, no need to yell."
Some people may think Xie Run is a bit overbearing, But in fact, from a horizontal comparison, he was quite polite.
In those days, human life was very worthless, and there were still many cases of Jianghu vendettas affecting ordinary people. To put it bluntly, in this wilderness, no one knew about killing you, and they still talked about human rights with you. Woolen cloth?
If someone really plans to rob an escort here today, then no matter how cautious and domineering Xie Run is...there is nothing wrong with it, because if his suspicions come true, then the person who robbed the escort will have to deal with Xie Run , and will certainly not let go of the others present.
"Then...Xie Daxia, what are your plans now?" At this moment, Tian Wu, who had been silent, suddenlyRan spoke up and asked a very constructive question.
"That's a good question." See if there is anything like poison or a weapon inside."
As soon as he heard this, Lei Buji shouted: "Eh? You are not right, I am the young master of the Huang Clan. He must be carrying various medicines, and the one my Brother Sun is carrying is a precious weapon. According to you, they have nothing to do with it."
"I know this. "Xie Run replied, "I will also look at the situation..."
Xie Run was about to explain a few words, but unexpectedly, at this moment...
Sun Yi Xie moved towards Lei Buji with a sliding shovel and a scissor kick. Huang Donglai also moved in sync, took out a handful of medicinal powder from his arms and smeared it on Lei Buji's face.
Everyone present was shocked. What kind of development is this? Are these two crazy?
"Who are you? Where did you take Buji?" In the blink of an eye, Sun Yixie applied the Kimura Lock on "Lei Buji" and pinned the opponent tightly.
Huang Donglai also put several handfuls of the intoxicating drug on his face that could make the whole body weak, and then said: "Be honest, or I will let you learn from your brother Huang and my methods."
p>"Two...two brothers...what are you doing?" "Lei Buji" gasped and asked with an aggrieved look, "I...I just don't know."< /p>
"Fart!" Sun Yixie said, "Buji has been calling us 'Brother Huang' and 'Brother Sun' all the way. What did you say 'Brother Huang' and 'Brother Sun' just now?" "What does it mean?"
Huang Donglai also added: "Also, with Buji's intelligence, how could he immediately realize that we would be suspected as soon as he heard Brother Xie's words?" I think... what you said just now is actually not to complain for us, but to deliberately draw suspicion on us to divert other people's attention, right?"
Huang Donglai has already reached this point. He put his hand into the lapel of "Lei Buji" and quickly groped for a few times. Soon, he found two things: a small medicine bottle and a roll of steel wire wrapped on a small spool.
"Humph...as expected." Huang Donglai took the steel wire in front of his eyes and sneered, "There are residual blood stains on the wire." As he spoke, he grabbed Lei Buji's He opened his hand and said, "You still have cuts from the steel wire wrapped around your hand, and it's still new. Why are you so quibbling?"
At this time, Sun Yixie also realized what happened. He suddenly thought of something and continued: "Boy, did you 'replace' Buji when he went to find firewood before?" At this point, he was reminded by his own words and his expression changed, " Damn it! Firewood! Put out the fire!" Hearing this, Xie Run was the first to move. He roughly understood what happened through Sun and Huang's words. So when he heard that there might be something wrong with the firewood, he quickly stepped forward to put out the fire.
Unexpectedly, as soon as he took half a step, a strong wind swept behind him, followed by a flash of cold light...
Tian Wude, I have been waiting for this opportunity for a long time. .
On this journey, Xie Run never showed any signs of slackness or flaw. Only at this moment, Xie Run’s attention was not focused on Tian Wude at all, and he happened to be facing away from Tian Wude. The state of noon.
So, Tian Wude took action.
His martial arts skills are not very high, but his shots are fast, accurate and dangerous...
What Tian Wu used was a needle - one he hid in the medicine box Inside, there are silver needles mixed in the acupuncture needles.
Although Xie Run's golden bell is powerful, it also has a door. The door is extremely small and is located on the back of his neck; that is to say, he can use needle-cone weapons to carry out precise attacks from behind. A sneak attack is the most effective way to break his golden bell.
Tian Wude has undoubtedly done his homework, otherwise he would not dare to touch the third boss of the Yong Escort Agency.
At this moment, he gave the injection, but Xie Run couldn't react in time and took the injection forcefully.
As soon as the needle was inserted halfway, Xie Run trembled all over, and then fell face down. His whole body was standing there.
Watching Xie Run fall, Tian Wude looked proud and said with a smile: "Ha... I have waited until you showed your flaws."
As he spoke, he bent down to pick up the baggage that fell next to Xie Run.
After picking it up, he looked at the other four people present, then stopped at Sun Yixie, Huang Donglai and "Lei Buji" who were entangled together, and said: "It's okay. , you go on, don't worry about me, I have nothing to do with that kid, and I don't know what the hallucination was... Whether the three of you are acting or arguing, it has nothing to do with me."
He doesn't have to watch. After saying this in a playful and relaxed tone, I never thought that the next second, Xie Run, who was lying on the ground as if he was dead... got up again.
Xie Run stood up very fast. It was obvious that he had already thought about how to make a move when he was lying on the ground pretending to be dead. This move was like a mad shark in the waves, turning the river upside down. He twisted his body and got up. At this moment, a punch and a kick were fired at the same time.
Now it was Tian Wu’s turn to be caught off guard, and Lao Tian was not a golden bell practitioner. He was covered in bells. After being hit by Xie Run these two times, he immediately Just a mouthful of blood spurted out.
After being injured, Lao Tian wanted to run away, but how could Xie Run let him escape? He caught up with him with a lunge, and hit Tian Wude directly in the back with another right punch.
After this punch, Tian Wude really couldn't bear it. Although Xie Run had already withdrawn some of his strength and wanted to stay alive for questioning, but... Tian Wude's martial arts He was really far behind Xie Run, and his lungs were really sick. In this rheumatic weather, the movement of breath and internal energy was a bit messy, so the punch on the back actually hit him directly. Tian Wu was killed.
Of course, if you die, you will die. Kill an escort robber, Xie Run.He didn't feel heartache. While pulling out half of the silver needle inserted in the back of his neck, he snorted at the other party's body: "What a pity. You had to come two months earlier, and my cover is still there." ."
How about saying that poor communication in ancient times killed people? The information Tian Wude obtained was out of date... and because of this, he lost his life.
After picking up the baggage taken away by the other party, Xie Run turned around and walked into the hall, focusing again on Sun Huanglei and the others.
And the three are still entangled at this time.
Xie Run didn't talk nonsense, looked at Lei Buji and said: "The one pretending to be Brother Lei, since you and the doctor named Tian are not in the same group, then who are you?"
p>
When he asked this, "Lei Buji" suddenly stopped resisting, his whole body went limp, and then... he laughed.
"Ha...didn't I tell you..." The laughter was very familiar, almost the same as the strange laughter they heard from the foot trader in their "dream" before, and he spoke His voice suddenly changed, "My name is Yelu Baoqi."
