Taming the Demon: A Guide to Raising a Great Sage

Chapter 42 042, Detective Enhanced Edition
"The assassin didn't lie in ambush outside the entrance of the cave and attack Young Master Zhao when he jumped out of the cave, but after the explosion, in the secret room, he launched an attack on Young Master Zhao...

"This can be seen from the position of Young Master Zhao's corpse and the direction of his face.

"At that time, Young Master Zhao should have jumped out of the cave first, followed by the assassins. Young Master Zhao might even have tried to fight back, so he turned to face the entrance of the cave, that is, facing the assassin who had just jumped out of the secret room. The assassin who came, but for some reason failed to fight back, was forced to retreat afterwards, and was chased by the assassin and pierced his throat with a sword.

"When the explosion happened, the assassin was also in the underground chamber? No, no, no, that's impossible.

"Eldest Young Master Zhao has two talismans, the 'Golden Bell Cover' and 'Shield of Clear Light' that Mrs. Zhao asked for for him, and a soft armor made of crocodile silk, all of which were sent to Young Master Zhao by myself.

"Young Master Zhao has so many protective treasures, so he was not killed on the spot just now. Why would the assassin dare to face the explosion with Young Master Zhao in such a small secret room?
"Assassinating Zhao Mengshan, a mere seventh-rank martial artist, is it worth the assassin's price of a few amulets?
"The assassin who assassinated Zhao Mengshan with the method of hidden assassination and agency ambush, even if his swordsmanship is sharp and vicious, his martial arts realm must be limited. Zhao Junshan is not wrong about this. However, an assassin with a limited realm cannot have a higher-grade bodyguard. Baojia...

"So, after the explosion, the assassin seized the opportunity of Zhao Mengshan's injury and dizziness, jumped out of the hole from the explosion, and volleyed his sword out of the air. But he instinctively resisted with his arms crossed, and he didn't suffer from the sharp sword's craniotomy, only one arm was cut off.

"Although his arm was broken, Zhao Mengshan also woke up from the pain of the broken arm. Taking advantage of the assassin's landing, when the old strength was exhausted and the new strength was not born, he jumped out of the secret room.

"The assassin jumped up and chased after him. Zhao Mengshan fell to the side of the cave, tried to fight back but failed, so he had to face the assassin and backed away, but was caught up by the assassin, stabbing out with a sword, piercing his palm and throat... …

"This is the truth of this assassination!"

After reasoning out the "real" assassination process, Mr. Zhang was very satisfied, but he didn't express the reasoning, he only thought to himself:
"The assassin is indeed very professional!

"Stealth, traps, ambush, swordsmanship, and even improvised decisions are all extremely sophisticated...

"This kind of assassin is not something that ordinary warriors can make a temporary cameo. They must have undergone extremely strict assassination training. No wonder the county magistrate would say that he is an elite assassin from the Blood Shadow Cult.

"If I didn't know the Blood Shadow Sect quite well, I might have suspected the Blood Shadow Sect.

"In addition, the county magistrate and the others were also wrong. The assassins are not greedy for anything. Although they didn't take away the 'Tiger Claw Kung Fu' secret book, Zhao Mengshan's soft armor was missing. It should be taken away by the assassins.

"Of course, this is also reasonable. Isn't such a light and close-fitting soft armor just suitable for assassins? No matter how professional and greedy, an assassin who doesn't care about anything other than the mission goal will see this kind of soft armor. live take away.

"And the missing broken arm, is it a proof of a successful assassination, or is it a special hobby of the assassin?"

Although the truth has been deduced, but with Mr. Zhang's ability, there is nothing he can do to find the assassin.

The assassin was so professional that he hardly left any useful clues——

Inside and outside the practice hall, there is no trace of sneaking in and out, which shows that the assassin is not only a master of stealth, but also very good at light kung fu and body skills.

No murder weapon was left at the scene.The sword wound on Zhao Mengshan's body is also very common, so it is difficult to find the murderer's sword based on this.

The "detonation mechanism" set up by the assassin was also wiped out in the explosion.

Gunpowder is not difficult to obtain for those who are interested, and the source is difficult to trace.

The only question is, how did the killer transport such a large dose of gunpowder into the secret room without leaving any trace of infiltration?I'm afraid this will involve Taoism or witchcraft again...

Based on all the circumstances, it is possible to find useful clues unless the Duke of the Kingdom invites Taoist priests to come to the scene and perform Taoist methods.

Of course, you can also try to do some investigation in Changsheng County, visit and investigate, to see if there are any new faces who have come to the county recently, whether anyone has stepped on the vicinity of Zhao's residence, or inquired about Zhao Mengshan's information.

But that kind of professional assassin, even if he stepped on the spot and inquired about information, he should have disguised himself when doing things, and I'm afraid he couldn't find any useful clues...

When he was thinking about how to investigate, Mr. Zhang glanced out of the corner of his eye, and suddenly saw that young man named Shen Lang unfolding the scroll of the "Tiger Claw Kung Fu" cheat book and reading it curiously.

"Catcher Shen..."

"Mr. Zhang, are you calling me? You are too polite, sir. I am just a small yamen servant, and I can't be called a head arrester."

"Since it was recommended by Mr. Mu, Xiaoyou Shen will be a headhunter sooner or later. But that cheat book comes from the Duke's Mansion..."

"But this is also one of the evidences at the murder scene. As a government servant involved in the investigation of this case, I think I still have the right to see one or two."

"Hmm... Zhang just wanted to remind Xiaoyou Shen that there are many secret words in the key points of this martial arts secret book. If you practice without authorization, the consequences will be worrisome."

"Thank you, Mr. Zhang, for reminding me. I won't practice indiscriminately. I just want to memorize it first, and ask Lord Mu to help me interpret it later."

Mr. Zhang laughed secretly:
Memorize it first?After all, this is also a fourth-grade exercise, how can you memorize it casually?
Just as he was about to speak, Shen Lang closed the scroll with a slam, then closed his eyes again, moved his lips quickly, and unfolded the scroll again, scanning ten rows at a glance.

Mr. Zhang didn't know what mystery he was up to, so he said directly:

"Xiaoyou Shen, this exercise belongs to the Duke's Mansion after all, can you return it to Zhang?"

Shen Lang chuckled, closed the scroll again, and handed it to Mr. Zhang:
"Of course, I have already memorized the whole text anyway. But sir, it is best to inform the county lord, after all, this is one of the evidence left at the scene."

"I will discuss it with the county lord... what, you have memorized the whole text?"

"Of course. I am not talented, and I have a bit of a photographic memory. By the way, Mr. Zhang, if I ask Mr. Mu to help me interpret this exercise and practice the Tiger Claw Kungfu, the Duke's Mansion should not have too much trouble." Is it difficult?"

Mr. Zhang was shocked, thinking how long has it been?Is he really going to memorize the entire fourth-grade exercise?

Could this be why Mu Qingxue valued him so much?

A person with an unforgettable memory and a bit of quick-wittedness can indeed be very competent for the spy work of collecting intelligence.

While thinking about it, Mr. Zhang wanted to say that not just anyone can practice the exercises of the Duke's Mansion, but Boy Shen kept talking about Mu Qingxue. If he refuted his face, it would be tantamount to refusing Mu Qingxue. Snow's face.

Although the Duke's Mansion is not too jealous of Mu Qingxue, but behind Mu Qingxue stands the great god Yan Tianying.

For a mere fourth-grade kung fu method, which has already been eliminated in the Duke's Mansion, it seems a bit worthless to hand over the fourth-grade kung fu method to Zhao Mengshan, a waste material in martial arts, just because of this.

"This kid belongs to Mu Qingxue. If he really wants to practice advanced skills, wouldn't Mu Qingxue give it to him? His current behavior may be testing... Hiss, could it be that Mu Qingxue inserted him into the The Changsheng county government is obviously investigating Zhao Mengshan, but it is actually aimed at the Duke? Does she want to follow Zhao Mengshan's line and get involved with the Duke?"

The purpose of Mu Qingxue's trip to Beijing to inspect Yingzhou Mansion this time is to crack down on lawlessness and rectify all kinds of chaos accumulated in Yingzhou over the past 25 years, not just to crack down on the Blood Shadow Sect.

And how could the chaos in Yingzhou Mansion be inseparable from the Guogong Mansion, which has been sitting in Yingzhou for more than a hundred years?

Mr. Zhang's heart was awe-inspiring, but his face was calm, and he smiled and said:
"It's just a fourth-grade exercise. As long as Xiaoyou Shen can interpret it, you can practice it at will without fear of going crazy."

Shen Lang laughed, cupped his fists in thanks:

"Then I would like to thank Mr. Zhang!"

Very good, now, there is also the origin of the Tiger Claw Hand, the interpretation version of the Tactics of Taming Monsters!

In the future, even if you practice Tiger Claw Hands and use Tiger Claw Hands, you won't be afraid of being confused!
