Volume 1 Small Events in the Big City Chapter 73 The Bizarre Tragedy
Li Qingcheng said calmly, "Mr. Su, you are an official, we are a civilian. Catching thieves and robbers is your six doors. We have no obligation to help you, let alone, we are just idle people in the world. If you remember correctly, there are still some old accounts between us that have not been settled."
Su Zhengyuan smiled all over his face, the fat on his chin trembled, and he said almost flatteringly: "If the second young master of the Li family of Jinling is a free person, wouldn't we become waste snacks? Before, there was a little misunderstanding between us. If you had to say that your father was Li Daxia earlier, wouldn't it be that nothing would happen?"
Seeing that the two were unmoved, Su Zhengyuan began to pretend to be pitiful again, "The two young heroes, young masters, my Su's official position, and future career prospects all depend on your old man to admire you."
Xiao Jinyan sneered, "It's a good thing to lose one official like you."
Su Zhengyuan had different opinions. He argued, "The two heroes are not in the officialdom and may not know much. The crows in the world are all black. If I leave Su Zhengyuan, can you not guarantee that one Li Zhengyuan will come? The officials in the world are lined up in a row, and if they kill all of them, it may be unfair, but if one kills one, there will definitely be fish that misses the net.
At least you know my character, and I never shy away from it. I am a real villain who is both greedy and lustful, but I feel at ease that I am a hundred times better than those hypocrites who say good things in front of others and stab the knife in the back."
Xiao Jinyan and Li Qingcheng looked at him in surprise. They said this righteously and knew that he had a special purpose for asking them, but they were so direct that they could not argue.
Su Zhengyuan said again, "Of course, I won't ask you two to help you in vain. It's too cheesy to talk about money. Please tell me about the conditions."
Xiao Jinyan said repeatedly, "It's not vulgar, it's not vulgar."
Li Qingcheng suddenly realized that Su Zhengyuan was also an interesting person. There were many shameless people in the world, but it was the first time that he had seen such a shameless person and spoke so peacefully. Such a person was easy to deal with. In their hearts, everything was a business, no friends, no feelings, and only the exchange of interests.
Li Qingcheng looked at Xiao Jinyan, "What do you say?"
Xiao Jinyan thought for a moment and said to Su Zhengyuan: "Mr. Su, I said you will definitely not be able to be a good official or a clean official."
Su Zhengyuan smiled bitterly, "I can't do it."
"It's honest."
Su Zhengyuan said: "It's not that you don't want to do it, but once you embark on the road of officialdom, you have to act according to their rules of the game, be independent, self-righteous, have no ability, and can only be a person who seeks fame. Such people are more suitable for studying at home, rather than using the lives and deaths of the people to fulfill their reputation. Therefore, from entering the officialdom, my requirement is very simple, to be a capable official, that's all."
"So, our conditions are very simple, don't think about Fanjia Industry."
Su Zhengyuan patted his chest and said, "I can't do anything else, it's easy. As long as I, Su, become an official in Suzhou for one day, I will keep Fan Wuchang's family safe." He added, "I will release Fan Wuchang when I go back in the afternoon."
Xiao Jinyan said not to go, let him stay in there for a few more days.
Li Qingcheng said, "You talk about the case."
Su Zhengyuan told the case again.
In the past few days, two family tragedies have occurred in Suzhou City.
A grocery store in Li Laosan near Canglang Pavilion in the north of the city was brutally killed. The two were serious businessmen and lived in Suzhou City for more than 20 years. Ten days ago, someone discovered that the two grandparents and grandchildren died in the store. The two were very strange in death. The coroner's autopsy found that their bones were broken and their bodies were like cotton. The government suspected that it was a revenge killing in the martial arts world, but secret investigations found that the two had a very good relationship with each other and had no enemies.
Just last night, in Loumen Lane, Ling Tiannan, a family of thirteen from the Tianma Escort Agency of Suzhou First Escort Agency, even the cattle, sheep, pigs and dogs in the family were killed. The death was the same as that of Li Laosan and his grandson. Unlike Li Laosan, Ling Tiannan himself is also a master of Zhixuan. He is also a number one figure in the martial arts world in Jiangnan. It is said that he had worked as a royal guard before, but later he went to Jingchu and Yinyang to get involved in the business of Western Chu.
Those who work as bodyguards can enjoy both black and white, so martial arts are naturally no problem. If you can kill them without silence, the perpetrator's martial arts will not be too low.
These two incidents caused a great sensation in Suzhou City. For a moment, people were in panic and could not survive.
If Liushemen handles ordinary criminal cases, they are barely competent. Once they involve people in the world, they will be helpless. However, Su Zhengyuan has contacted local gangs such as Li Zhengyi and Sun Hailiu, but they refuse because they are powerless. They will be in Beijing for inspection at the end of the year. Zhao Jinlian did not want to cause trouble and forced the case to Su Zhengyuan.
In desperation, Su Zhengyuan remembered Xiao Jinyan and Li Qingcheng, and then came to ask for help with his shamelessness.
At this time, Su Zhengyuan was completely different from Lord Su who was domineering in Xiaoyao Inn that day.
After Su Zhengyuan finished speaking, Xiao Jinyan asked, "Is there a martial art in the world that can make people's bones shatter?"
Li Qingcheng said, "It depends on whether it is internal force to die or external force to die. If it is internal force, martial arts can be achieved to the Dazhi Xuan Realm. If it is external force, there are more than a dozen kinds of bone-breaking martial arts, such as the Shaolin Dali Vajra Finger, the Kunlun School's Tiangang Fist, and the Bone-breaking Hammer in Majiazhuang, Xilong. So, what's the specific thing, we will know until we have seen it." Turning around and asked Su Zhengyuan, "The body is still there?"
Su Zhengyuan said, "After receiving the report, the coroner has gone. The coroner has a rule that the corpse will never leave the ground. Before the case is solved or closed, the corpse will not be easily moved."
Xiao Jinyan said, "It seems that we have to go there in person. Lord Su, I need a list of gangs registered in Jinling City. There is still a period of time when I have registered the people in the city of Jinling City." Li Qingcheng said, "This is not an unnecessary move. If I were the murderer, I would definitely not register before entering the city."
Xiao Jinyan asked back, "Are you the murderer?"
Li Qingcheng said speechlessly, "No."
When the two went out, Su Zhengyuan had already prepared a carriage and arranged for people to clear the road. Xiao Jinyan was not used to Su Zhengyuan's style and used his light skills to rush to the location of the accident with Li Qingcheng. When he arrived at the Li family's grocery store, an official had already stood by and waited.
Li Lao San and Grand His Majesty and Grandson were lying on the ground, their faces were calm and their bodies were soft but not stiff.
Xiao Jinyan stepped forward to investigate and said strangely, "These two have been dead for five or six days. Logically speaking, they should have swollen and started to rot. How could it be like a few hours after they died?" Li Qingcheng lifted the two of them with his internal strength, but found that their legs were like noodles, without any obstacles.
"Can you confirm it is caused by external forces or internal forces?" Xiao Jinyan asked.
Li Qingcheng shook his head.
Xiao Jinyan and the coroner asked for a cuticle knife. After slashing Li Laosan's wrist, he found that Li Laosan not only lost his wrist bones, but also his blood was solidified. He analyzed, "They were not broken bones, but they had no bones at all. There are such evil techniques in the world?"
The coroner also said, "I have been in this business for more than 30 years, but this is the first time I have seen this way of death."
Li Qingcheng said indifferently, "It's not difficult to kill people, but even my father may not be able to do this way of killing."
"The people who killed them may not use martial arts." Xiao Jinyan added: "It's poison."
