Chapter 127: 'Horse Hammer' vs. Ding Xiu
When he came, Sun Shaozong was only 60% sure of his own deduction, but after being "invited" by Qin Kejian to leave the Northern Pacification Office, his confidence rose to 90%!
That's right~
This time he did not resist at all, and was obediently "invited" out of the Detective Department, and even the Northern Pacification Department.
As for the reason...
Qin Kejian, the special investigator, has obviously become scared.
Not only are Lu Jianxing and Shen Lian of low status, they may also be involved in the case of "Jin Yichuan" impersonating someone else. They will not be able to protect themselves by then, let alone continue to investigate the case.
Therefore, staying in the Northern Pacification Office would only be a waste of time.
To be honest, after leaving the Northern Pacification Office, Sun Shaozong hesitated and wondered whether he should simply give up investigating the case.
After all, judging from the current situation, even without mentioning the killing of officials and impersonation, Jin Yichuan can hardly be described as "innocent". At most, it can be considered a case of revenge.
Fighting a powerful murderer for a person who is not "innocent" is not a good deal no matter how you look at it!
That's why Sun Shaozong felt a little shaken.
only……
That fellow didn't write anything else but left the two words "Shen Duan" after killing someone. This was clearly a provocation - if he wasn't killed, Sun Shaozong's thoughts would be really unreasonable!
Whoosh~~~
Just at this moment, a loud whistle suddenly came from the side of the road!
Sun Shaozong subconsciously looked in the direction of the sound, and saw a sturdy man who looked like a Japanese ronin standing on the roof of a grocery store diagonally in front of him, with a two-handed long sword on his shoulder.
Ding Xiu?!
As soon as the name flashed through Sun Shaozong's mind, he saw the man gave him an evil smile, then turned around and leaped into a remote alley.
Could it be that some trap was set?
Thinking this in his mind, Sun Shaozong did not hesitate and urged his horse to rush forward.
After entering the alley, he found it empty and there was no trace of Ding Xiu.
But this alley is about four or five hundred meters long, and Ding Xiu couldn't have escaped so quickly.
On top!
Sun Shaozong's mind moved, and just as he was about to look up, he saw a cold light coming at him diagonally, cutting off both the man's head and the horse's head!
Sun Shaozong rolled off the horse's back without thinking. Just as he turned over and stood firm, he saw a horse's head rolling to the ground, and hot horse blood spurted out from its cavity for a distance!
Looking at Ding Xiu again, he was already blocking the alley entrance in a lazi manner.
" Good knife skills."
Sun Shaozong praised calmly.
“A lot of people have said that.”
Ding Xiu shrugged, still looking cynical: "But they all died later."
"You mean, I'm going to die too?"
"With your ability, it's not certain who will live and who will die." Ding Xiu held the long sword in his hand and said with a hint of sarcasm: "But who told you officials not to carry weapons when you go out?"
"weapon?"
Sun Shaozong bent down and grabbed the horse's legs, and said with a smile: "Isn't it already there?"
Before he finished speaking, he had already lifted up the 700-pound horse carcass and smashed it towards Ding Xiu like a mountain-splitting hammer!
Ding Xiu's swordsmanship is most about charging forward courageously, and he never retreats even a single step when fighting against an enemy.
But today, he had to retreat, and retreat again and again!
Ding Xiu had seen people who could lift a horse before, but he never dreamed that someone could use a horse as a hammer !
And his steps were still very brisk, without any sign of effort at all!
monster!
This word is usually used by weaklings to describe Uncle Ding, but today he used it on someone else for the first time!
Brush~
Ding Xiu dodged the "horse hammer", but a stream of hot blood spurted out from the broken neck and splashed all over Ding Xiu's head and face!
With his eyes blurred by the horse's blood, Ding Xiu had difficulty seeing for a moment. He could hear the whistling sound of the wind coming towards him, but it was too late to dodge, so he could only grit his teeth and block with his sword.
Bang!
With a dull thud, Ding Xiu stuck to the wall like a piece of paper, leaving a large dent in the wall!
Seeing Ding Xiu sliding down the wall to the ground again without making any sound, Sun Shaozong sneered and said, "Don't pretend. I just restrained my strength. I didn't kill you."
“Cough, cough, cough…”
Ding Xiu then coughed up a mouthful of blood, threw the long knife to the ground, and said, "Tell me, what do you want to know, or what do you want me to do?"
This guy is a smart man.
Sun Shaozong also threw the horse's corpse at his feet and asked sternly, "Why did you kill me just now?"
"Someone told me that you killed my fellow apprentice."
"So, you want to avenge Jin Yichuan?"
"It's hardly revenge."
Ding Xiu curled his lips and said, "I am Ding Xiu's junior brother, so naturally I am the only one who can kill him. If someone steals my business, they must pay me some 'interest'!"
I can't believe this guy is such a tsundere who says one thing and thinks another!
but……
"Others?"
Sun Shaozong asked again: "So now you don't think I killed him?"
"If it was you who killed the person, why are you asking now?"
Ding Xiu said angrily: "Needless to say, I'm definitely being used as a gun!"
After a pause, he added, "This morning, a group of Dragon Guards came for no apparent reason and insisted that I was the one who killed Ding Xian. I thought I couldn't escape, and was preparing to fight to the death to make a profit, but suddenly someone let me escape on purpose."
"It was that Dragon Guard who gave me a note saying that my junior fellow apprentice had something on you, so he planned to kill him!"
Frame-up?
Is this Qin Kejian's intention, or the murderer's work?
Sun Shaozong frowned and asked, "And you believed it?"
"I'm half-believing and half-doubting." Ding Xiu shrugged and said indifferently: "Who made me feel bad? Kill him first and then investigate."
This thing is really...
However, only this kind of reckless guy is not afraid of the real culprit behind the scenes.
Sun Shaozong thought about this and said, "If you really want to know how Jin... Ding Xian died, you might as well check first. When the imperial merchant He family was confiscated, the driver who died at the hands of your junior brother had a relationship with the young mistress of the He family."
"Driver? Young Madam He?"
Ding Xiu was puzzled and said, "What a mess! You don't want to say that my junior brother was killed by a woman, do you?"
"That woman is now the concubine of Qian Ning, the deputy director of the Northern Pacification Office. I heard that Lord Qian is completely obsessed with her."
"You mean..."
Ding Xiu frowned as he hesitated to speak, and said angrily: "Why would I do such a dangerous thing?!"
Sun Shaozong was about to give him a reason, but he saw this guy raised his head and said with a mercenary look on his face: "Why, you have to give me some benefits, right?"
This thing...
Sun Shaozong was speechless for a while, then he kicked the horse carcass in front of Ding Xiu and said expressionlessly, "Take it to the butcher shop and sell it. The money will be yours."
Having said that, he walked out of the alley without looking back, leaving Ding Xiu and the horse blood all over the ground.
