Have You Met My Brother?[Comprehensive Martial Arts + Sword Three] Chapter 54

Chapter 54: Framing the blame Yan Bugui: Who is it?

“Someone saw me killing someone and deliberately dumped the body in front of the six doors as a provocation?”

After learning from Tie Shou that he had become a suspect in a certain murder case, Yan Bugui’s first reaction was confusion – wondering who wanted to frame him.Of course it’s not that he hasn’t killed anyone before, but not after coming to the capital, and he didn’t have time to do such troublesome things as dumping corpses in the Yamen.Since he didn’t do it, and now he is said to be the murderer, there must be something wrong.

Yan Bugui was puzzled, but he still followed Tie Shou because he wanted to see the deceased and see the injuries on his body.Bai Youjin didn’t follow because he didn’t speak the whole time; Guo Xiang and Zuo Mingzhu didn’t follow either, because Yan Bugui, who had a clear conscience, told them not to worry, he could solve the matter, and they could just play in peace…

So in addition to Yan Bugui and his parrot, as well as the sea eagle Xueling hovering in the sky, those who followed Tie Shou to the morgue were Liu Yuan who refused to leave his brother even half a step no matter what he said.

On the way, Tie Shou also revealed the identity of the deceased to them: “Shaoxia Yan, have you heard of the Emei Sword Sect?”

Yan Bugui thought for a moment: “The Emei Sword Sect whose leader was killed by Ximen Chuixue of Wanmei Villa?”

The direction of this answer was very precise, and Tie Shou could only nod: “Exactly. The young generation of the Emei Sword Sect is the most outstanding of the ‘Three Heroes and Four Shows’. After the death of the head of Dugu, the ‘Three Heroes and Four Shows’ also suffered casualties, and now only the ‘Two Heroes and One Show’ remain…and the deceased was Yan Renying among them.”

Yan Renying is a swordsman who looks very young at first glance. He may become famous all over the world, or he may disappear from everyone over time – but he can’t see any of those futures, because he is dead, and he has an expression as if he has seen a ghost.

“I didn’t kill him.” Yan Bugui looked the body up and down, and immediately concluded, “I never leave so many stab wounds when I kill, and the murderer should not be very good at using horizontal knives, so the wounds are not right.”

There were indeed many stab wounds on Yan Renying’s body, criss-crossing them, as if he wanted people to see clearly why he died – not only from excessive blood loss, but also from brutal torture as his meridians were cut off with one knife.

“It was indeed the injury caused by the horizontal knife, but it was not Ozawa’s knife. That guy may have seen the wounds caused by Ozawa’s knife, and tried very hard to restore the pattern of the blade, but unfortunately he was unsuccessful.” Liu Yuan observed for longer and saw more problems. When he said this, he sneered, “How can the knife I made with black crystal and meteorite mixed with it be so easily counterfeited?”

As a public servant, Tie Shou naturally could not just listen to one-sided words, but if he really wanted to count, he should not have led the suspect to see the victim’s body, but he did so anyway – this was not because he had some friendship with Yan Bugui, but because he had also discovered something wrong during the previous autopsy, and now it only confirmed his suspicion.

There was a witness when Yan Renying’s body was dumped six doors down. According to what he said, the suspect and Yan Bugui were very similar in their daily clothing and appearance. They left in a hurry when they noticed someone was there – however, the witness did not observe the person who dumped the body up close.

Furthermore, the cause of Yan Renying’s death was not the intertwined stab wounds. The stab wounds were inflicted after his death. The murderer may have deliberately used them to cover up the real fatal injuries.But as Liu Yuan said, in the eyes of senior gangsters and bosses, the disguise was “not successful.”

Yan Bugui, whom Tie Shou knew, had no motive for killing and dumping the body, but he could not completely rule out the other party’s suspicion, so he specially brought someone here to observe the change in the other party’s expression.Unless you are a person who has acted to the core, it is impossible not to show even a trace.

Whether it was Yan Bugui or Liu Yuan, their performance was obviously the first time they saw Yan Renying’s face and person. If all these performances were a play prepared for him, Tie Shou could only admit that his skills were inferior to others.

Thoughts in Tie Shou’s mind were spinning a thousand times, but he still kept a straight face on the surface. He asked someone to help him find a large piece of thick pork with skin on it: “Since you two have bluntly stated that the knife wound on Yan Renying’s body was not caused by Yan Shaoxia’s weapon, and you are not justified in saying so, please demonstrate and let me wait and see.”

Yan Bugui accepted the idea of chopping pork well, but Liu Yuan’s expression turned even worse.However, the latter did not stop him.Yan Bugui clenched the handle of the knife, and with a flash of cold light, there were two more knife marks on the piece of pork: “I didn’t use my internal force on the left knife, but I used the right one – if it were me, the knife energy that invaded the enemy’s body would not have dissipated so quickly.”

Tie Shou knew that Yan Bugui’s Qing Gong was very good. He had also heard that Guo Xiang mentioned that “grandpa admired Brother Yan’s sword skills very much.” However, he only now knew how fast and powerful the opponent’s sword was!

He had already believed Yan Bugui’s previous statement that “he would not leave so many wounds.” Judging from the opponent’s sword skills, it was obvious that he was going to kill him with one strike.Normally, such a crisp and sharp knife would not be able to do such things as torture and killing.

He also saw the two knife marks on the left and right left by Yan Bugui on the pork. At first glance, the knife wounds on Yan Renying’s body were indeed somewhat close to them.But if you look closely, you will find that the lines of the knife marks on the pork are more complicated and delicate. Even the knife on the left that claims to have no internal force seems to have a low temperature, and there is some frostbite at the wound.

Tie Shou withdrew his thoughtful gaze and asked Yan Bugui: “I wonder if Young Master Yan can remember who he has offended, or if there is any enemy who would frame him as a person?”

“If there really is such a person, I must have provoked it after I came to the Central Plains. However, I have not been in the Central Plains for a long time, and I have not met many people, and there are not many people who have enmity with me.” Yan Bugui said very calmly,

“I once investigated the death of gang leader Ren with ‘Robber Commander’ Chu Liuxiang, and encountered a sneak attack by a warrior who knew Japanese swordsmanship with Brother Chu. I seriously injured him, but let him escape. This person was involved in an old incident and was later taken away by Brother Chu. If he is still alive, you probably have to ask Brother Chu or Gang Leader Huang. If he is still alive, it is normal for him to hate me and want revenge for the bad things he has done.

“In addition, when I was in Lingnan, I killed a woman named Gongsun Lan. She was very good at disguise. I heard from the Condor Heroes and Lu Xiaofeng that she also had many identities such as Grandma Xiong.She originally wanted to poison me, so I attacked her. Since the person is dead, there is no need to worry about it.

“But I happened to meet Lu Xiaofeng again this morning. He told me that someone wanted to avenge me for that woman, so it might be someone from there. For the specific origin, Mr. Tie will have to ask Lu Xiaofeng.

“Well, the same thing is that this morning I seemed to have ruined the ‘good deeds’ of a certain person or force, and I stopped them when they organized a group of archers to attack a certain person… I don’t know when the killing and dumping of the body occurred. If it was after encountering Lu Xiaofeng and the others, it might be related to this incident.”

The rest is that he once had a fight with a man in white named “Gong Jiu”, and the girl named “Palace Master” didn’t have much affection for him; and that Tie Shou also knew that he had tracked the murderer of the Huafang murder case and had a quarrel with Xue Bin of Xuejiazhuang. There was no more – at least he didn’t mention that he was assassinated by the assassin on the second night after arriving in the capital.

Tie Shou listened quietly to the end and just replied: “Lu Xiaofeng… I will ask him.”

Yan Bugui’s small intention of drawing the fire to Lu Xiaofeng was barely hidden, but if what the other party said was true, Tie Shou would have to confirm something with Lu Xiaofeng no matter what.As for the part involving Chu Liuxiang…

He heard that this man seemed to have been out of seclusion recently, and was in a hurry, so it was probably difficult to contact him. However, if it concerned the Beggar Clan, he had other ways, and he did not necessarily have to find the “thief commander” himself.

Yan Bugui asked curiously: “Second Master Tie also knows Lu Xiaofeng?”

Tie Shou replied: “We have dealt with him before.”

After that, Tie Shou did not arrest Yan Bugui, but instead invited the people over and sent them out of the door. Before saying goodbye, he just asked Yan Bugui to pay attention to his safety during this period and come to him if he was in trouble.Yan Bugui naturally clasped his fists and thanked him, and then left the six doors with Liu Yuan amidst the loud voices of Bai Renyu shouting “You are such a good person.”

On the way back to the inn, Liu Yuan suddenly asked: “Who do you think is the one who blamed you?”

Yan Bugui replied nonchalantly: “The only people I have actually chopped down when I come here are Wu Hua and Gong Sun Lan. They are the only ones with the knife wounds I left on their bodies. The only person who can fake similar wounds is one of these two parties.I have no idea who their relatives and friends are, so I can’t guess.

“But it doesn’t matter. Anyway, in a few days it will be the time that Brother Xie predicted that the vision will come. If there are no accidents, we can return to the Tang Dynasty. Things here have nothing to do with us.”

Liu Yuan snorted with unknown meaning: “You do believe Xie Donghai.”

Yan Bugui replied almost reflexively: “I believe you too.”

Liu Yuan glanced sideways at Yan Bugui: “That’s nice to say.” He said this as if he didn’t believe it was the truth, but the joyful arc at the corner of his eyes had quietly revealed his true feelings.

The two brothers were about to change the subject and say something else, but Bai Renyu, who was flying next to them, suddenly said “Wow”: “Look, Xiaoyan – the one in front is ‘Xinhuan’!”

Yan Bugui reflected on what Xiaoyu meant by “new love”, and it took him half a breath to figure it out – the little parrot should be talking about the Lord of Baiyun City.He subconsciously looked forward and saw a swordsman in white clothes and white robes, surrounded by six flower-dressing women, walking into a restaurant like an emperor patrolling or a fairy coming to earth.

Liu Yuan also noticed the commotion in the restaurant ahead, but with a frown, he was concerned about another question: “What ‘new love’? Whose new love?”

Bai Renyu laughed loudly, but Yan Bugui reached out and pinched its mouth: “Don’t talk nonsense, especially don’t talk nonsense in front of that person, otherwise you will lose all your snacks in the next month.”

“Oh – no!” As soon as Yan Bugui’s hand loosened, Bai Renyu shouted miserably, “My little goose, how can you be so cruel!”

Yan Bugui said with a cold face: “If you dare to disobey me, even more cruel things will happen.”

Liu Yuan looked at their main pet suspiciously and asked, “What kind of trouble are you making?”

.

While Liu Yuan and Yan Bugui brothers were chatting and making trouble, Tongfu Inn welcomed three new guests with stunning looks – Xie Donghai put away the big umbrella he had been holding, and walked into the inn lobby with Yang Guo, Xiao Longnv and his wife with various subtle inhalations.

Yang Guo was the first to ask the innkeeper if there were any rooms in the inn. Xiao Longnu stayed by his side, while Xie Donghai was a few steps behind, seeming to be looking at the interior decoration of the inn.

Just then, Yang Guo learned that there was still the last Tianzihao room left, and was about to ask Xie Donghai about his plans when suddenly a clear and sweet girl’s voice came from not far away: “Huh? Are you… Brother Yan’s eldest brother?”

The author has something to say: ps: Xiaoyan uses a hairball knife (Lanshuangbian/Shiren), not a big orange weapon. Theoretically, it has nothing to do with Xuanjing, but they are all the same person, so it should be okay to mix it in [dog head]
