Martial Arts: The First Genius Doctor in Jianghu

Chapter 5 Night
In the night, in the third watch.

The daytime of the hustle and bustle of the crowds has passed, and the streets of Hangzhou City are already quiet at this moment, as if stepping into another realm.During the daytime, the doors of the bustling shops of merchants have already been locked tightly, only a few lights shining dimly through the cracks in the doors.There was no one else on the road, only a few watchmen passing by.

In the shadows, a figure passed by.

Xie Chen walked around the corner in night clothes but stopped: "I don't want to disturb your sleep."

Su Xiaochan is also in night clothes: "But your steps on the roof are too heavy, I thought a thief had entered the house."

Xie Chen said: "I said earlier that my lightness kung fu is not good."

Su Xiaochan replied: "But I didn't expect you to make me wait here for so long."

After finishing speaking, without waiting for Xie Chen, he jumped onto the high wall in a flash, just like dancing in the snow and walking away from the world of mortals, standing in the fairyland in the wind, light and agile.Xie Chen had no choice but to follow.

Soon the two arrived at the yard where Zhu He died.

Su Xiaochan lowered her voice curiously: "Why do you come at night?"

Xie Chen shook his head, then turned quietly into the yard.After entering the room, he said: "The doors and windows are closed in this room. If you don't turn on the lights, you may not be able to see clearly."

Su Xiaochan nodded.

Xie Chen pointed to the half-lit candle on the table again: "Although I don't know why Zhu He lives in this remote courtyard, as far as I know, he is not only not stingy, but rather generous, and I also asked during the day. If you have such a character, you must change the candle."

Su Xiaochan said: "That's right, if the servants in the mansion change new candles, judging from the remaining candles, it will probably be extinguished around the second watch."

Xie Chen said: "Exactly. He Ming also said during the day that the servants outside the courtyard saw the lights turned off at the second watch as usual in the house. It happened to be right at this time."

"So Boss Zhu was still alive on the second watch?" Su Xiaochan said.

Xie Chen said: "Although the possibility that the murderer deliberately waited until the second watch to turn off the lights cannot be ruled out, it is still somewhat risky. What's more, as long as the lights in the house are not turned off, the servants outside are always on call. , the two people in the house are always communicating, so it might not be easy for them not to notice."

Su Xiaochan nodded and said: "That's true, I'm afraid the murderer sneaked in after the lights were turned off at the second watch."

"This is even more strange. This murderer not only communicated with Zhu He in the dark room, but also made the opponent with strong martial arts to swallow the poison without any resistance, and left words in the room." On the wall in blood, "In this way, I am even more convinced that the murderer may really have a deep hatred with Zhu He, otherwise who would bother to write blood on the wall?"

Su Xiaochan hesitated for a moment and said, "Actually, there is one thing I have never understood. Even if the murderer wanted to leave blood on his body, why didn't he just take the blood from Zhu He's body after poisoning him?"

Xie Chen said: "Maybe it's because I'm worried that it will cause suspicion on my body, or I'm worried about being infected with poisonous blood, but the truth is, I'm afraid the only way to find out is to find the murderer himself. But no matter what, come here again tonight, At least one thing has been confirmed for me."

"What's the matter?"

"I'm afraid Zhu He is not some innocent businessman." Xie Chen said.

Su Xiaochan understood: "A dutiful businessman really doesn't need to hide his martial arts. He still dares not even light the lamp in secret meetings in the middle of the night."

Xie Chen said: "That's right, so after I go back, tomorrow I want to ask the Su family to do something for me."

Su Xiaochan understood: "You want to check Zhu He's business?"

Before Xie Chen could speak again, he heard movement outside the window, a black shadow flashed past, and a hidden weapon shot straight at Xie Chen from outside the window.

Xie Chen stretched out his fingers and easily caught the hidden weapon.

"Where are we going!" Seeing Xie Chen, Su Xiaochan immediately broke through the door and chased him out. After a few ups and downs, he chased the figure and disappeared.

Xie Chen knew that his lightness skills were far inferior to Su Xiaochan's, so he didn't chase after him. Instead, he curiously played with the hidden weapon that was caught - an ordinary stone that can be seen everywhere.

At this time, the guards guarding outside also heard the movement and chased in, drew out their sabers and surrounded Xie Chen.

It didn't take long for He Ming to come.

He Ming's expression was not good: "Xie Chen, is it too much for you to do this? Could it be that you don't take the court's law into consideration at all?"

Xie Chen quickly apologized with a smile: "Of course I don't dare, I just remembered that there might be some omissions during the day, so I came to see it on a whim."

He Ming stared at Xie Chen's night clothes for a while, and then replied: "Since you found the omission, do you have any new discoveries now?"

Xie Chen said: "I'm just curious. The murderer brought a bowl of blood with him, and after poisoning Boss Zhu He, he still had the leisure to write on the wall in the dark. I thought this room could see through the moonlight, but now It seems that the rain last night was even darker than tonight. This murderer can let Boss Zhu He let him in in the dark. Boss Zhu He is really stupid. But when he lights up the lamp, the two servants outside see him coming in. Maybe they won't die."

He Ming was silent for a moment, and said slightly dissatisfied: "You want to say that this is an acquaintance committing the crime, and I have suspected it for a long time. Do you think that you are better at investigating the case than me?"

Xie Chen quickly explained: "That must not be dared. He Ming has arrested and settled countless cases. How dare I compare them. It turns out that you have already thought of what I was wondering."

At this moment, Su Xiaochan came back.

She was full of anger: "I lost it."

Xie Chen was surprised.

He Ming was also very surprised, and only heard him ask: "Miss Su's stepping on the snow and the world of mortals actually let him run away?"

Su Xiaochan said angrily: "Yes, that man's lightness kung fu is quite good, although he is not as good as me, but he is not far behind. I chased him out of the yard, and went around the mansion for a few times, and he was about to catch up. Throwing a hidden weapon at me, I was afraid of being poisonous and dared not dodge it, and he took the opportunity to run outside, but when I chased him out again, the person disappeared."

He Ming hurriedly asked: "Then Miss Su, can you recognize which school of movement he is using? Even if it is not as good, there are not many light kung fu that can compete with Treading Hongchen."

Su Xiaochan showed doubts on her face and said: "That is indeed a movement technique that I have never seen before."

"Miss Liansu has never seen it before?" He Ming frowned. Although Su Xiaochan's lightness kung fu is far from being unrivaled in the world, there is no unknown person who can compare with her. It is really an anecdote that the door has never seen such an easy escape.

Xie Chen also asked: "How does lightness kung fu make you feel?"

Su Xiaochan said: "That is an extremely high-level lightness kung fu. If I ask you to say it, it is probably not weaker than Treading Hongchen's unique kungfu. Flying over the eaves and walking on walls is like walking on flat ground, flashing and moving with agility but not losing sharpness. Although it is not as good as Treading Hongchen He is dexterous and erratic, but he is extremely clever in the ups and downs, if it wasn't for that person's lack of skill and not being able to penetrate the essence, I'm afraid I wouldn't be able to catch up."

"Such a brilliant lightness kung fu will remain silent and unknown?" He Ming was in shock. He never thought that this unknown lightness kung fu would be so appraised by the heirs of Treading Xuehongchen. You need to know that Layman Danqing's Treading Xuehongchen is famous in the Jianghu It is even higher than Shaolin Yiwei Crossing the River and Wudang Zhenwu Youlongbu. If you are a little bolder, even if you claim to be the best lightness kung fu in the world, you may not be able to bear it.

Although it's unbelievable, He Ming didn't get too entangled in this matter, and only listened to his opponents say: "Go and wake up everyone in the Zhu family immediately, and take down all those who resist. Cross-examination! I want to see who the thief of the Zhu family is!"

After finishing speaking, he looked at Xie Chen and Su Xiaochan again: "I need to trouble the two of you to stay together. After all, even if you can't see the face, maybe Miss Su can recognize the other person's figure."

Before Xie Chen could refuse, he heard him say in a low voice: "Quan regards it as an apology for the two of you trespassing on the scene of the murder without authorization."

Hearing this, Xie Chen had no choice but to agree.
