The Heavens Begin with Detective Di Renjie

Chapter 2 Dou Yuanfang Talks about the Snake Spirit

Night, Jiangzhang County Posthouse

Shen Youzhi was arranged by Di Renjie to rest in Room B of Tianzi.

And Di Renjie's room is Tianzijia, which is next door to Shen Youzhi.

It was almost late at night, but Shen Youzhi had no plans to rest.

Because he knew that just tonight, Li Yuanfang would sneak into the posthouse to meet Di Renjie.

This is the first encounter between the two, and it is also the beginning of a nightmare for all future conspirators.

If those conspirators knew that it was Jin Mulan's subordinate Yu Feng who brought Li Yuanfang and Di Renjie together, they would definitely want to tear this guy into pieces.

In Room A, Di Renjie was thinking about the case, and listed all the things that happened today on a piece of paper——

The real mission was killed, the fake mission went to Beijing, the kiln caught fire, the princess was assassinated, the missing Li Yuanfang, the mysterious ranger...
Judging from the inkblots, this last line was just added.

Di Renjie looked at the unrelated incidents listed on the paper, thinking over possible connections in his mind.

Then, he picked up a pen and wrote on the side:
Li Yuanfang——killed the Turkic Mission—fleeing the scene—appeared suddenly in Lingzhou—killed the police—strange!Strange!Strange!
Just as Di Renjie was concentrating, the candles in the room flickered suddenly.

Di Renjie was keenly aware of the strangeness.

However, before he could react, the candle was extinguished instantly, and the whole room was plunged into darkness.

Faced with such a weird situation, Di Renjie remained calm and composed, wanting to see what kind of tricks this mysterious visitor was trying to play.

At this moment, the door suddenly opened wide.

squeak-

A black shadow rushed into the room in an instant.

In the darkness, Di Renjie only heard a "chuckle" and then the clanging of swords and swords.

After about ten breaths, everything returned to calm again.

flutter--

The candles were lit and the room was bright again.

Only then did Di Renjie see the situation clearly——

Shen Youzhi held a long sword, and the edge of the sword touched the chest of a mysterious man holding a knife.

"Good swordsmanship!"

The mysterious man looked at Shen Youzhi and exclaimed.

"Your sword skills are not bad either!" Shen Youzhi replied.

Seeing this, Di Renjie asked Shen Youzhi, "Youzhi, what's going on?"

"Di Gong." Shen Youzhi replied: "Just now I heard some movement next door, so I came here to check.

This person's swordsmanship and lightness kung fu are all top-notch, and he is by no means an ordinary person! "

Di Renjie nodded, then looked at the mysterious man who broke into the posthouse at night, and asked, "Can you tell me who you are?"

The mysterious man smiled and said, "It's said that Mr. Di reasoning like a god, can't you really guess my identity?"

Di Renjie smiled and said: "I already had a premonition that there would be a harvest tonight, but I didn't expect it to come true so soon."

"In this way, Duke Di really already knows the identity of this subordinate?" the mysterious man exclaimed.

"Li Yuanfang, the captain of the Turkic mission, the court's most wanted criminal!"

Di Renjie revealed the identity of the mysterious person in one go.

The mysterious man was stunned and sighed, "If I hadn't seen it with my own eyes, I wouldn't believe it! Yes, I am Li Yuanfang!"

Shen Youzhi didn't forget his current identity, and perfectly acted out a confused look.

"Youzhi, let him go." Di Renjie said suddenly.

Shen Youzhi looked at Di Renjie, and withdrew the long sword that was on Li Yuanfang's chest.

To be honest, if Li Yuanfang hadn't experienced hundreds of battles in the past few months, was seriously injured, and rushed here from Lingzhou day and night, he was already exhausted, it would have been really difficult for him to subdue the opponent in such a short time.

"When your injury heals, let's fight again!" Shen Youzhi said.

"Okay!" Li Yuanfang also happily agreed.

He could tell that the martial arts of the person in front of him was not inferior to his own, even if he was not injured, the outcome would be hard to predict.

"Tell me, what do you want to do when you come here late at night to see me?" Di Renjie looked at Li Yuanfang and said, "Kill the envoys and slaughter the arresters. Under such circumstances, you dare to come to see me. How dare you dare to come to see me?" Surprised me!"

"My lord really thinks that I did it?" Li Yuanfang smiled wryly.

"It doesn't matter what I think, what matters is the facts." Di Renjie said.

"The truth is, I wasn't the one who killed the mission and the Lingzhou police," Li Yuanfang said.

"It seems that you are going to tell me a long story." Di Renjie said.

Li Yuanfang nodded.

"Sit down and talk." Di Renjie motioned.

After the two sat down, Li Yuanfang told her story truthfully.

Shen Youzhi also silently closed the door to prevent the situation in the room from being noticed.

"You mean, the killer left a handkerchief?"

Di Renjie asked suddenly after listening to the story.

"That's right." Li Yuanfang nodded and said, "Your Excellency is really careful, using the details in my words to test whether what I said is true or not."

Di Renjie shook his head and said with a smile: "This handkerchief is the only evidence so far, I just want to see it."

Hearing this, Li Yuanfang immediately took out the handkerchief left by Viper, and handed it to Di Renjie.

Di Renjie unfolded the handkerchief and found a small viper embroidered on it.

He stared at the handkerchief thoughtfully.

Shen Youzhi at the side suddenly exclaimed: "Snake spirit!"

Di Renjie, who was in deep thought, suddenly woke up, and quickly asked: "Youzhi, what are you talking about? Snake spirit? What is that?"

Seeing this, Shen Youzhi replied "truthfully": "I also heard the name Snake Spirit by accident, but I only know that it is a huge organization with many members, and all of them are desperadoes.

Now seeing the snake-shaped pattern on this handkerchief, I can't help but think of the name. "

"The snake spirit you are talking about is a Jianghu organization?" Di Renjie continued to ask.

He had never heard of such an organization, and judging from the name, it should not be an institution of the imperial court.

Shen Youzhi shook his head, and replied: "It should not be a simple Jianghu organization.

They also seldom show up in the rivers and lakes.

Few people in the rivers and lakes know the existence of the 'Snake Spirit'.

I also accidentally heard their names when I was traveling in Liuzhou. "

Now is not the time to deal with the snake spirit, and Di Renjie cannot be allowed to start targeting the snake spirit prematurely.

Shen Youzhi just wanted to leave a button for the time being so that it would be convenient for him to do things in the future, and he didn't intend to reveal too much.

After listening to Shen Youzhi's words, Di Renjie fell into deep thought again——

The mission was intercepted, the mysterious assassin Viper, the mysterious organization Snake Spirit
What is hidden behind all this?
Di Renjie thought hard to no avail, and pulled his thoughts back to his eyes, and asked Li Yuanfang, "Why did that mysterious killer Viper let you go?"

"I didn't understand at first." Li Yuanfang replied with a wry smile, "But now I understand.

They wanted to put the blame on me for killing the mission.

Sure enough, right after I narrowly escaped death, the imperial court issued a sea arrest document listing me as the murderer in the mission case.

And no matter where I hide, I will be found.

Up to now, the humble job has experienced dozens of battles!

In desperation, the humble staff came to see you! "

"It's not that you want to come to see me, it's that they want you to come to see me!"

Di Renjie immediately exposed Li Yuanfang's lie.

Li Yuanfang was startled when he heard this, and swallowed subconsciously.

"The humble official doesn't understand what the adults mean."

Li Yuanfang tried to quibble.

"I don't understand? Let me ask you, how did you know my whereabouts? These are all court secrets. How can you, a man in distress, know?"

Di Renjie looked directly at Li Yuanfang with lightning-like eyes.

"me"

Looking at Di Renjie's eyes, Li Yuanfang became more flustered and didn't know how to explain it.

"Tell me, who guided you to see me?" Di Renjie asked again.

Li Yuanfang had no choice but to reveal the mysterious person who guided him to find Di Renjie in Lingzhou.

"You use a knife?"

After listening to Li Yuanfang's explanation, Di Renjie asked suddenly.

Li Yuanfang was taken aback when he heard the words, and nodded honestly: "Yes."

"Let me have a look." Di Renjie said again.

Li Yuanfang handed Di Renjie his chain knife.

Di Renjie looked at the blade carefully and said, "It can be seen that this sword has been with you for many years."

"That's right." Li Yuanfang said: "Since the humble job started serving in Liangzhou, it has followed the humble job."

Di Renjie smiled when he heard this, and said: "The official document from Lingzhou said that the arresters were killed by swords!"

Li Yuanfang was overjoyed when he heard the words, he knew that Master Di finally believed what he said.

At this moment, someone outside the door hurriedly shouted: "Master Di, Lord Di!"

"Who is it?" Di Renjie asked calmly.

"My lord, it's Qianniuwei from the capital who came to deliver the decree!" The person outside the door replied.

Di Renjie immediately signaled to Shen Youzhi and Li Yuanfang, and the two immediately understood, and rushed into the back room to hide.

……

After the guards announced their decree, Di Renjie asked them to go down and wait on the pretext of packing their bags.

After the guards left, Shen Youzhi and Li Yuanfang came out from the back room.

"It seems that they have already started to act!" Di Renjie said suddenly.

"Di Gong, what do you mean by that?" Shen Youzhi asked in a "puzzled" manner.

Li Yuanfang also cast a puzzled look.

Di Renjie smiled and said: "The Qianniuwei who announced the decree just now is a fake!"

"What!" Li Yuanfang was shocked when he heard this.

Who is so bold, dare to pretend to be the emperor's exclusive guard?

"There is no time to explain now, you two just listen to me"

Di Renjie quickly informed Shen and Li of his plan.
