Chapter 12 Unexpected Changes
Master Mu instinctively felt it was absurd. Han Wenyuan was a famous constable, but Duan Gang's words, upon closer examination, seemed not impossible, and even made people feel terrified.
He frowned deeply, lost in thought: "What Lord Duan said... seems..."
The words "I am right" haven't even been uttered yet!
A sudden change has occurred!
Duan Gang's eyes flashed with a fierce light, and his right palm, which had been gathering momentum for a long time, moved as fast as lightning, carrying a sinister force, and struck towards Master Mu without warning.
click!
"Well!"
Suddenly attacked by the person in front of him, Master Mu's neck was shattered. His pupils dilated abruptly as he finally realized who the descendant of the Evil Blade was.
He collapsed to the ground, his face frozen in shock, resentment, and overwhelming rage, just like the deceased Master Mu.
"Listening so intently, what an idiot!"
Under the moonlight, the shadows on Duan Gang's face made him look ferocious and twisted, like a vengeful ghost.
A dark cloud happened to obscure the bright moon, dimming the stars, leaving only a few candlelight rays shining from inside the hall, flickering uncertainly in the cold wind.
Inside the hall, Han Wenyuan's gaze was fixed on the direction where Duan Gang and Third Master Mu had left. His brows were deeply furrowed, and his face was so solemn it seemed to drip water, carrying an indescribable heaviness.
Master Mu noticed something was wrong with his expression: "Lord Han, what's wrong?"
Han Wenyuan seemed to have made up his mind, and sighed heavily: "Uncle Mu, some things may seem like personal revenge... but they're stuck in my throat, and I have to say them..."
But I do have my doubts.
Old Master Mu's heart tightened: "Brother Han, who do you suspect?"
He always felt that the hope of solving the case and catching the murderer lay with Han Mingbu, a detective with rich experience and meticulous thinking.
"Duan Gang!"
Han Wenyuan spoke decisively, his gaze sweeping over Li Fu, who sat to the side with an expression of agreement.
"Brother Li is a sharp-minded man, and he must have sensed something was amiss long ago."
Those who investigate cases should suspect everyone who is suspicious!
Duan Gang is tall, with thick, imposing eyebrows and superb martial arts skills, perfectly matching the description given by the eyewitness to the murderer!
More importantly, he has a deep friendship with the Mu family and a prestigious status, so no ordinary person would suspect him!
This is precisely why the hot-tempered Fourth Master Mu, after his second brother's tragic death, was very likely still completely unsuspecting, exposing his back and thus becoming the target of a sneak attack!
"But……"
Mu Tianying also began to have doubts, but still hesitated.
"I have been secretly investigating these past two days. When Master Mu was murdered, Duan Gang had not yet arrived at the Mu residence. There was plenty of time!"
When Master Mu was murdered, although he was torturing Cheng Yi at the county government office, he did take a break in between, the length of which coincided with the time of his murder.
As for Cheng Yi... he now appears to be completely innocent, but it was Duan Gang who insisted from the beginning that he was a major suspect, misleading us and diverting our manpower and energy!
If Cheng Yi was indeed silenced last night, this false lead could easily lead us into a dead end, wasting our precious time!
Han Wenyuan analyzed and listed the points of doubt one by one.
As Grandpa Mu listened, his face grew increasingly grim, filled with grief and indignation, his fists clenched so tightly they cracked.
"What Brother Han said... is all reasonable... Duan Gang is highly suspicious, but... is there any conclusive evidence?"
The thought of his brother's tragic death, and the possibility that the real culprit might be right beside him, treated like an honored guest, tore at his heart and filled him with boundless hatred!
Li Fu also looked at Han Wenyuan, who had similar suspicions but lacked concrete evidence.
Han Wenyuan slowly shook his head: "There is no conclusive evidence yet. However..." His tone carried a hint of barely perceptible pity, "Perhaps... it will come soon."
It seems there's a deeper meaning to what he said, and he's unwilling to say it directly.
Li Fu's eyes suddenly narrowed, and he abruptly looked outside the hall.
"What do you mean?" Old Master Mu asked urgently, a sense of foreboding rising in his heart.
"It's very simple," Han Wenyuan sighed in a deep voice, "based on the timeline, they should be back by now."
If Duan Gang is truly the murderer, he would never let go of this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to be alone… We only need to observe and see if he returns alone, and then we will know the truth!
Grandpa Mu trembled violently, instantly realizing what had happened. He stood up abruptly, his eyes wide with fury.
"Uncle Mu, calm down!" Han Wenyuan hurriedly tried to dissuade him.
"If Third Master has truly been poisoned, acting impulsively now will only make things worse. The only option is to remain calm and wait for him to return, then seize him when he is off guard!"
He is highly skilled in martial arts; if he realizes this and escapes, the blood feud between the three old heroes... may never be avenged!
These words were like a bucket of cold water poured over him. Old Master Mu suppressed the hatred that was about to burst from his chest, knowing full well that if he alerted the enemy and they escaped, the consequences would be dire.
They and their descendants will forever live in fear, in the shadow of constant possibility of retaliation, with no peace to be found.
"In Brother Han's opinion, what is the current situation?"
"Pretend you don't know!" Han Wenyuan said resolutely, his eyes flashing like lightning. "When he comes back, whatever reason he makes up..."
Even if it's said that Third Master was chatting with the constable at the courtyard gate, or that he lied and claimed to have discovered the murderer's whereabouts, and Third Master angrily gave chase... no matter how high-sounding the reason!
"As soon as he steps through this door alone, the three of us will immediately strike simultaneously, going all out to capture him!"
As he spoke, he looked at Li Fu, whose martial arts skills were not low.
Li Fuzheng frowned in thought, seemingly weighing the suspicions against Duan Gang, and finally nodded slightly.
"That's feasible. If we've wronged him, we can apologize later."
Grandpa Mu gripped his weapon tightly, his hatred almost bursting from his chest.
The three of them held their breath, like taut bowstrings, poised to unleash their power, waiting for someone to appear and verify the truth!
"Help! Help!" In just a few breaths, Duan Gang's angry and urgent shouts rang out from outside the courtyard, tearing through the abnormal silence inside the hall as they drew closer!
coming!
Upon hearing this shout,
The three of them suddenly stood up, their eyes meeting in mid-air, all sensing that Duan was about to say something.
Duan Gang rushed into the main hall, his face full of anxiety.
"Something terrible has happened! Just now, Third Master and I... saw the descendant of the Evil Blade. Seeing that there was no opportunity, that scoundrel actually... actually poisoned Second Master's widow!"
Overwhelmed with grief and indignation, Third Master has already taken his sword and gone in pursuit alone!
His anger and impatience were palpable.
However, before Duan Gang could finish speaking, he saw Grandpa Mu's face contorted with extreme anger, his eyes wide with rage, his gaze almost devouring him alive!
"Attack!" Han Wenyuan shouted, his voice booming like thunder.
"You beast! Give me back my brother's life!"
Grandpa Mu's pent-up anger and grief burst forth like a dam breaking, and the long sword in his hand transformed into a deadly streak of cold light, piercing straight into Duan Gang's heart!
Li Fu also pounced like a cheetah!
A look of panic flashed across Duan Gang's face, as if his conspiracy had been exposed. This expression was tantamount to admitting defeat without being asked, which made the attack even faster and more powerful, like a thunderbolt, and they could attack without any restraint.
Flashlight!
A sudden change occurred.
Behind Li Fu and Grandpa Mu, two fierce and chilling palm winds suddenly erupted without warning.
Silent and ruthless, it struck directly at the two men's vital points in the back of their hearts.
The timing was impeccable, just as the two were about to lunge forward with all their might, their minds focused on the front, leaving their backs wide open!
Bang!Bang!
Two muffled, loud thuds.
Two figures coughed up blood and were sent flying like kites with broken strings, crashing through tables and chairs before landing on the ground!
