From Kowloon's Inheritance

Chapter 5 Zheng Butcher, Qian Steelmaking!
Back at the county office, Li Mu wrote his notes and the process of the case, then looked out the window, recalling, pondering, thinking about what he still missed.

In the world, there is no such thing as a detective. They are more about cautious observation, looking for clues, bold assumptions, careful verification, and psychological deterrence.

"Who is the murderer?"

Li Mu recalled.

Suddenly, the wind rang, and a black shadow appeared.

Li Mu was a little nervous, and subconsciously pulled out the sword next to him to defend himself, but he was just a scholar, just a little bit stronger than a chicken without a hand, and his strength was limited. It was better not to draw a sword than to draw a sword.

Indifferently said: "Who is coming?"

"Take it back, it's me!" At this moment, a man in black appeared, and took off the black cloth on his face, revealing the appearance of a beautiful woman.

"It's you! Sister Qingchan!"

Li Mu breathed a sigh of relief.

"Are you hungry?" Li Mu asked.

"Retire, no need!" Liu Qingchan asked.

"How is the mountain recently?" Li Mu asked.

"I have a glass workshop, and the business has been good recently. This is the account book!" Liu Qingchan said, took out the account book, and handed it over.

Li Mu took over the ledger, just flipped through it roughly, and put it aside, without paying too much attention to it.

Money is not omnipotent, but power is omnipotent. He believes in the brothers and sisters of the Liu family and is not so short-sighted.As a matter of fact, except for some fledglings, the people in the rivers and lakes may be a little stupid. Most people in the rivers and lakes are extremely shrewd, and those who are not shrewd will have died long ago.

"You came at the right time. I encountered two murder cases. But what did you do on the mountain?" Li Mu asked, with questioning and murderous looks in his tone.

Once there is a murder case, those local hooligans, those bandits, etc., are the first to be suspected, and they will not let go of the murder.

Heihuling has a criminal record.

"No! No!" Liu Qingchan explained in a panic: "Our cottage, usually on top of the cottage, farming for a living, occasionally hunting, and using some mountain products to make a living. Or set up checkpoints on the side of the road, collect A few protection fees, rarely harming human life!"

Heihuling has survived until now because of its low profile.

By not moving officials and making fewer murders, the result is that the six doors are too lazy to do it, or after doing it, the gains are very small and it is not worth doing it.

Li Mu observed with micro-expressions and heaved a sigh of relief, they really didn't do it.

"There have been two murder cases recently!" Li Mu talked about the details of the case, and asked again: "Qing Chan, what do you think?"

Liu Qingchan said: "Let's go and see the corpse first!"

"Okay!" Li Mu nodded, saying that an action is an action, without any delay, he carried the lantern and led Liu Qingchan to the morgue.The body has been buried, but there is no head, so the identity cannot be determined, and the investigation cannot be carried out.

Opening the coffin, Liu Qingchan stepped forward and checked it with a silver needle.

"The deceased is a warrior, about the fourth floor of Houtian, practicing iron sand palms, tiger roaring golden bell jar!" Liu Qingchan stepped forward, looked at the corpse, and finally said.

Li Mu said: "How can you tell!"

Liu Qingchan said: "Back, he is not a warrior, so naturally he can't tell. Look at his hands, which exude dark red. This is formed by practicing iron sand palms. Also, his body is much stronger than ordinary people, and he has martial arts. Traces, I have practiced the Tiger Roaring Golden Bell Jar. The Tiger Roaring Golden Bell Jar is divided into four layers, iron body, copper body, silver body, and golden body. In front of me, the body of the deceased is different from that of ordinary people, and he has condensed into a small body of iron body. Already!"

Li Mu was silent: "Warriors! Is it a vendetta for warriors? Are there many warriors in this world?"

"It's hard to say!" Liu Qingchan said: "The big hermit hides in the wild, and the little hermit hides in the city. Maybe an old man who sings is a strong guru, maybe an old farmer is a great master, maybe a civil servant is an innate warrior, maybe a scholar He is an innate warrior. Everything is uncertain!"

Li Mu said: "Tiger Roaring Golden Bell Shade, what are the characteristics!"

Liu Qingchan said: "Tiger's Roaring Golden Bell Cover belongs to the yellow-level kung fu. It is not high-grade, easy to get started, and has low requirements for martial arts qualifications. It is widely spread among warriors. From this kung fu, you can't tell the dead man's sect! "

"Is there a Tiger Roaring Golden Bell Cultivation Technique?" Li Mu asked.

"Have!"

Leaving the mortuary and entering the study, Liu Qingchan wrote on the spot the exercise of the tiger's roar golden bell cover, which was only a few hundred words.

Li Mu frowned slightly as he looked at the exercises.

Tiger Roaring Golden Bell Jar, the skill level is very low, it is only a yellow-level skill. The biggest advantage of the yellow-level skill is that it is easy to get started and requires low qualifications.But following the roar of the tiger, the golden bell can be cultivated to the state of a golden body, and condensed into a vajra indestructible body, which is not inferior to any heaven-level exercises.

The disadvantages are also obvious, easy to refine and difficult to refine.

When they woke up the next day, Li Mu and Liu Qingchan had just finished their breakfast when the yamen servants sent news that the missing head had been found.

"Head, where is it?"

Li Mu asked.

The inspector said: "Report to the county lord, search the scene of the crime in a radius of a hundred miles, and find it in a ravine!"

"Who is the deceased?" Li Mu asked.

"It's from this county. It's a butcher. It's called Zheng Butcher. There are three shops in his family. He has a wife and three concubines. He is a good person and often helps his neighbors!" said the inspector.

Li Mu said: "Now, let's go to the scene of the crime and go to Zheng Tuhu's house to find out the situation!"

An hour later, we arrived at the scene of the crime.

The scene of the crime was a valley, and there was a river in the valley. Zheng Butcher's head was found in the grass in the valley.Fortunately, he was not taken away by wolves, otherwise he would never be able to find the identity of the deceased.After all, in this era, the household registration system is too simple, and there is no ID card.

According to the statistics of household registration by the imperial court, there are tens of thousands of households in a county, not tens of thousands of people.

The inspector said: "Here, I found a pig-killing knife, which belongs to Butcher Zheng!"

With that said, he brought a butcher's knife.

Li Mu stepped forward and observed for a while, but couldn't see why.

Liu Qingchan stepped forward and flicked it, then picked it up again, feeling the weight and said: "Good knife, good knife! This pig-killing knife is made of thousands of steels!"

"Thousands of refined steel is a rare treasure for innate warriors!" Liu Qingchan said: "The grade is far above ordinary steel!"

Li Mu grabbed the butcher's knife and immediately felt extremely heavy, "The density is a bit high, it's not ordinary steel...it can't be compressed steel!"

It suddenly occurred to me that this world is backward in many aspects, but in terms of smelting and weapon manufacturing, it is in the lead, with alloy steel comparable to or even surpassed by later generations.

The water basin was taken out, and a simple and rough density test was carried out, and the density of the butcher knife was 10.5.

Recalling the knowledge of steel in the previous life, the density of steel is 7.9, maybe carbon steel, other alloy steels fluctuate up and down, and the floating rate is only a few percentage points, and it is rare to directly rise to 10.5.

Compress steel!
In essence, steel is compressible, and the compressed steel has excellent performance in terms of hardness and other properties.

The so-called thousand-smelting steel is essentially compressed steel.

Liu Qingchan said: "Above a hundred steels, there are thousands of steels; above a thousand steels, there are ten thousand steels. It is said that there are better steels, but they are rare, and only a few big forces have them!"

There were not enough tools, so we could only do a simple test. Li Mu took out a piece of hair, put it on it, blew on it, and the hair broke immediately; he took out another iron ingot, waved it lightly, and the iron ingot broke immediately, just like cutting tofu .

"Qing Chan, what do you think?" Li Mu asked.

"Butcher Zheng is on the fifth floor of the day after tomorrow. He came with a weapon, and then confronted the murderer. His neck was cut off with a knife, and then his body was kicked into the river, and his head was thrown here... This is a murder. It's just The battlefield here, without the slightest concealment, is obviously extremely confident... I am afraid that if I leave here, I will miss a single blow and flee thousands of miles away."

Liu Qing said.

Li Mu was silent, thinking of Li Bai.

Ten steps, one kill, never stay a thousand miles.

After the murderer killed someone, if he missed a single blow and fled thousands of miles away to arrest the criminal, he would be in serious trouble.

"I also overlooked one point. It may be an acquaintance of Zheng Tuhu who led him here!" Li Mu said, "Ordinary warriors do not have weapons forged by thousands of steel refiners. Without special channels, it is impossible to obtain such weapons!"

In any world, weapons are controlled.

Special steel materials cannot be obtained without special channels.

"The identity of Butcher Zheng is not simple, not simple!" Li Mu said, leaving the scene of the crime and heading to Butcher Zheng's home.
