Loan Wusheng

Chapter 18 Song Tiqi

"Corpse A was stabbed twice, both fatally, one on the chest and one on the head; Corpse B was stabbed once, this time diagonally on the neck..."

"The assailant used a short-handled, two-handed broadsword with a skilled knife technique. Judging from the knife wounds and traces, it should be a martial art passed down by a master of the Canghai School in Haiyu County of this prefecture, the Treading Wave Knife."

"About 137 feet away from Corpse A and Corpse B, there is another Corpse C. Corpse C was stabbed 39 times, but the fatal wounds are not visible. It was chopped into several pieces. Perhaps there was a deep hatred, and the perpetrator was skilled in knife skills, using the same method as Corpse A and Corpse B, intending to kill people."

"..."

At Zhao Er's house, the police had already surrounded the place, and the coroner in a black robe was calmly performing the autopsy.

Zheng Jun was wearing new clothes and standing at Zhao Er's house with a knife. He looked at the two people who were numbered as Corpse A and Corpse B, and his heart was calm, as if he was not the one who committed the crime last night.

In addition, Song Tiqi, who had come to investigate the massacre at Wang's house, was also present.

Soon, the coroner finished the inspection and reported to Song Tiqi in front of him very experiencedly: "Sir Tiqi, the traces in the courtyard show that when the murderer killed the corpse, he deliberately hid in the courtyard for a long time and took advantage of the corpse's sleep to kill him."

"Based on the thickness of the blade and the behavior, the murderer should be a warrior at the 'Blood Refining and Body Tempering' stage."

The coroner continued, "Inside the house of Corpse C, all the gold and silver items were searched out. There were traces of fire in the house. Perhaps he was seeking revenge."

"The county court heard that four other murders occurred on the same night."

Song Tiqi had a stern face and an aura, as if he could not hold back the anger in his heart: "Twelve people died last night, eight of them died under the 'Treading Wave Knife'!"

What do you mean?
Why do you have to wait until you are on duty to take action? !
Lou Wei, you are so brave!
So brave! ! !

In anger, Song Tiqi looked around coldly, looking at the police officers around him who were cooperating in the investigation, and asked again: "Who killed Liang Fan last night?"

After hearing what Song Tiqi said, Zheng Jun took a step forward without any hesitation, and saluted in a neither humble nor arrogant manner, saying, "Your Excellency Tiqi, it is me."

Song Tiqi looked at Zheng Jun and said coldly, "Tell me the details of what happened."

Zheng Jun immediately told the story of last night.

There is no correction, everything is told truthfully.

But he omitted a few key points.

For example, what Liang Fan said when he begged for mercy.

He would not say anything that was disadvantageous to him and would simply hide it.

After hearing Zheng Jun's words, Song Tiqi couldn't help but look at Zheng Jun deeply.

Looking at Zheng Jun, whose muscles and bones were stretched, Song Tiqi said, "I remember you. It's only been a month since I taught you the Eagle Power, and you've already refined your blood?"

"Yes, I was lucky enough to refine blood once."

Zheng Jun said neither humbly nor arrogantly.

Suddenly, before Zheng Jun finished speaking, the black-robed Tiqi suddenly took action!

The black robe trembled, and the figure flashed over, powerful blood and energy burst out, Song Tiqi's five fingers formed into claws, and fell on his head!
When the five fingers fell, there was also a whistling sound of wind, and the air flow in the air suddenly exploded like firecrackers, with bursts of crackling sounds.

With the infusion of deep internal energy, this claw would have left five bloody holes on Zheng Jun's body, even if he had a well-trained body with iron tendons and bones!
This scene shocked Zheng Jun so much that the hair on his body stood up and he felt as if he was being stared at by a ferocious beast.

Without any hesitation, he was about to take the brand new ceremonial sword from his waist out of its sheath, but he saw the claw coming down fiercely.

Zheng Jun didn't hesitate at all. He rolled over and dodged the grab in a very embarrassed manner. Then he flashed by a flash of white light, unsheathed his ceremonial sword, and his muscles tensed up, his blood surged, and he took an attacking stance, sweating profusely.

Why did this Song Tiqi suddenly attack? Did he already know that I was the real murderer?!
Zheng Jun was stunned and thought in his heart that the Song Tiqi in front of him was a Qi-accumulating warrior, much stronger than himself.

If I run away now, what are my chances of survival?
Perhaps I can take advantage of his underestimation and see if I can kill him. Even if I can't, as long as I can hit him with one blow, it will give me a chance to escape...

These thoughts flashed through Zheng Jun's mind, but just when Zheng Jun was ready, he saw that Song Tiqi had already withdrawn his stance.

"Yes, he did refine blood, his talent is not bad, and he is willing to spend money. This kind of agility is also a means to kill Liang Fan."

Song Tiqi nodded approvingly, and then unceremoniously appointed him: "I heard that there is a squad leader among the dead? In that case, you will fill his vacancy and become the squad leader. When you have accumulated energy in your Dantian, don't go to the county government to be an official. It's better to come to the Zhenfu Division and we can be colleagues."

After hearing Song Tiqi's words, Zheng Jun was speechless for a moment, but soon came to his senses, put away his ceremonial sword, and bowed to Song Tiqi, saying: "Thank you for your kindness, sir!"

It turned out that he was just trying out his martial arts.

Zheng Jun breathed a sigh of relief, and at the same time reflected on his rash thoughts in his heart.

Still have to keep calm!
"You are Welcome."

Song Tiqi waved his hand and continued, "Now that you have become the squad leader, you will be in charge of the patrols for the next few days. Just make proper arrangements. If you have any intelligence, come directly to the Zhenfusi Yamen to find me. My name is Song Jing!"

Song Tiqi never thought that Zheng Jun would be one of the perpetrators of the murder last night.

However, he affirmed Zheng Jun's talent in martial arts.

But the murderer's skillful use of the wave-treading knife could not be fake!
Regardless of how Zheng Jun got the Treading Wave Sword, even if he did, an ordinary warrior would need to spend more than half a year under the instruction of a famous teacher to become so proficient in it.

Even if the murderer was not Lou Wei or Liang Fan, he must be a disciple of Canghai Sect.

How could it be Zheng Jun?
Moreover, the coroner had examined several other bodies and found that they were all killed by the Talang Knife, and the murders were more decisive and efficient, the same method as when Lou Wei killed people.

However, among the six murders last night, in addition to the five cases involving the Treading Wave Knife, there was also a family of four who died from the "Five Organs Skill" and were also disemboweled.

It’s just that this family was discovered early, but not as well-known as Wang Wu’s family.

"This is your responsibility."

Song Tiqi took a deep breath, looked at Zheng Jun who was neither humble nor arrogant in front of him, and said immediately: "The murderer here is skilled in knife skills but not yet fully developed. The murderer is most likely Liang Fan. Since you have killed him, there is no need to examine the three bodies A, B and C."

"We need confessions to close the case. Go around and ask around. After getting the confessions, find someone to collect the bodies. If these three people have no relatives or friends, find a straw mat to wrap them up and throw them out of the city."

After saying this, Song Tiqi turned around and left without any hesitation, as if he was going to the next scene.

After all, compared to this, the murderer's scene has already been 'confirmed'.

The Five Internal Organs Exercises are even more worthy of investigation.

Looking at Song Tiqi's leaving back, Zheng Jun didn't know what to say for a moment.

I……

Is this what makes you the class leader?

He looked back around and saw the other police officers and quick hands looking at each other, not knowing what to say.

Seeing Zheng Jun looking over, the constables and quick hands went forward to congratulate him without any hesitation.

"Meetings, Mr. Zheng!"
