Food Fairy Lord

Chapter 123 Investigation
Pei Ye turned over, jumped off the horse, and jumped into the forest.

A few officials shouted angrily from behind.

"What are you doing?!" Several men chased after him, but they did not draw their swords for a moment, because the young man's skill when he just rushed in dazzled them.

"Sorry, but I know the deceased." Pei Ye turned around and said, "Let me see the scene."

The head catcher strode over and said with a frown, "Who are you?"

Pei Ye told the truth and showed him the Wubi document and Bai Sibing's recommendation letter.The headhunter read them one by one, and his expression eased a bit: "It turned out to be Pei Shaoxia, how did Pei Shaoxia know the deceased?"

"We'll stay at an inn in the town together."

Catcher nodded: "Okay——Xin Zhao, you go shopping with Pei Shaoxia, and record everything you find."

A young man holding a notebook next to him raised his head immediately: "Hey!"

Pei Ye took the document from the head catcher and put it back in his bag, his eyes fixed on the corpse.

He walked over slowly, lowered his head, and for a moment he seemed to be back in the dense rain forest in the early morning of August [-]th.

The same man, the same posture of leaning against a tree to die, the same death with eyes open.

But in the end it was just an illusion, this place is not a deep mountain called Heavenly Immortality, and this corpse is not that tragic, only a penetrating wound on the shoulder and a fatal wound on the throat.

Cheng Jianghong's gentle eyes were open. There was no surprise or anger in them, no expression at all, just lifeless, completely lifeless.

Pei Ye moved his eyes away from his head and walked up the tree, stopping at about the height of his chest.There was a sword hole that penetrated the tree trunk, and the edge of the hole was slightly stained with blood.

This hole matched the wound on Cheng Jianghong's shoulder. Obviously, he was nailed here by the enemy's sword first. When the opponent's sword was drawn out, he collapsed.

But there is something strange here: the shoulder being penetrated is not a fatal injury, it will only temporarily restrain Jiang Hong. When the opponent pulls out the sword, he should counterattack immediately. How can he collapse along the tree?
Was the throat-cutting sword too fast, or did Cheng Jianghong lose his ability to resist before the sword was pulled out?Did the opponent cut his throat with another weapon before pulling out his sword?

"It's the mind." Black Cat suddenly said.

"what?"

"His mind was destroyed, and the sword that cut his throat only repaired his body."

Pei Ye understood. The opponent first pinned Cheng Jianghong, then destroyed his mind, and finally drew his sword and cut his throat.

After understanding this, Pei Ye looked down again, this time his eyes fell on the iron sword in his left hand.

This hand is held in the middle of the scabbard, and the scabbard and hilt are connected together.

He used the technique [Marry Branches for the Banquet], and this time it must have been filled with all his true energy, but there was no blood on the blade.

The hilt of the sword did not leave the scabbard again, which meant that this was his last move, that is, after this move, the other party nailed him to the tree.

Pei Ye lowered his head to look at the direction of the sword—it was facing straight ahead, without any sign of being missed.

The opponent hit him on the right shoulder, and he could continue to draw the sword with his left hand, but the result was that the opponent's sword pierced through his shoulder, and his "longer" sword did not touch the opponent.

Pei Ye tried hard to restore the scene at that time, but had no clue for the moment.

This has nothing to do with the gap in martial arts. No matter how high the opponent's martial arts is, he can remove the sword with a snap of his fingers, but he still has to snap his fingers, right?This sword showed no trace of interference at all, and the other party didn't care about his sword at all.

As for hiding, the sword is already stuck on Cheng Jianghong's shoulder, how can a person hide?
Even if he dodges the stab sideways, Cheng Jianghong can still swing and slash—in short, as long as the opponent still holds the hilt of the sword, he must be within Cheng Jianghong's attack range.

Why didn't Cheng Jianghong try to continue the attack?
Unless he was faced with a helpless situation - there was no point in continuing to make moves.Pei Ye suddenly thought of Zhanxin Liuli. If it was this kind of flying sword, the enemy would indeed not have to approach it, and the impaled person would indeed desperately stop using the sword.

But he quickly gave up on this idea. Firstly, attributing the problem to people like the master of famous swords and swords did not solve the problem. Famous swords and thaumaturgy menopause are universal answers. Countless strange things happen in the world every day, but there are only a few famous swords and magic arts.

They are really busy.

Secondly, if it was a flying sword, Cheng Jianghong didn't have to try to stab the sword at all.Because at least when he made this sword, he thought he had a chance to stab the enemy, which meant that the enemy was indeed in front of him at that time.

Pei Ye frowned and thought for a while, but couldn't find the answer yet.

Suddenly, a subtle reflection flashed across the ground at the edge of his vision as the sun moved.

Pei Ye walked over immediately, leaned over and picked up a thin braze that was as long as her middle finger and as thick as chopsticks.

hidden weapon.

He immediately got up and looked around, and then found five more on the surrounding tree trunks, and the detectives also found two.There are a total of eight fine drills, and their landing points are in a roughly circular shape.

Pei Ye wrapped these thin rods with a cloth and held them in his hands. They seemed to be fired from Cheng Jianghong's direction. He walked up to Cheng Jianghong's body and inspected it carefully, but he did not find any traces of hidden weapons.

After squatting and thinking for a while, he suddenly had a flash of inspiration, turned around and picked up the iron sword again.

Pulling out the scabbard, the standing sword looks down at the hilt from top to bottom—a hollow.

The seal on top of the hilt is gone.

Pei Ye put the eight thin brazing rods in one by one, and they fit perfectly, leaving only one gap.

An ingenious mechanism, the thicker hilt is designed to fit the master's broad palm at first glance, but it is only known to join the scabbard when the fight is in full swing.And only in the tragic situation of life and death, the enemy can see its ultimate true appearance.

This was Chengjiang Hong's trump card in a life-and-death fight. If the last fine hammer could not be found around, it might have been left on the murderer's body.

Pei Ye told all these conjectures to the catcher who was recording next to him, and the catcher nodded quickly to remember—before Pei Ye came, he had studied this small book for a long time, and only wrote three or five lines, but now After a while, two pages have been turned.

Pei Ye walked over to several gentlemen, who were still searching through Jiang Hong's package.Seeing him coming, the head catcher raised his head and said, "Little brother, can you tell me more about your acquaintance with this dead man?"

"We, in fact, also met by chance, just met someone in the inn last night—"

Pei Ye's throat suddenly choked, and the memories of last night surged up, and at the same time, the parcels spread out on the ground came into view at a glance.

A kind of coldness suddenly spread from the bottom of my heart to my throat.

Pei Ye pursed her lips, and said hoarsely, "Isn't there a small porcelain bottle in this package?"

"What little porcelain bottle?"

"."

There is no evidence, nor a complete chain of speculation.

But the creepy thoughts still came to him uncontrollably.

——In their fight last night, did they choose the winner or the dead?
