Wushuang Wushuang Swordsman

Chapter 51
With a willow leaf in his mouth and humming a ditty, Li Xuange wandered for more than ten miles and arrived at Chang'an, a famous city and ancient capital.

Standing outside the city, looking at this ancient city, I recalled the ancient city wall I saw when I was in Xi'an, which was restored by later generations.

This ancient city is very similar to the ancient city of Xi'an, and it is not as magnificent as Chang'an in the prosperous Tang Dynasty as I imagined.

He shook his head slightly, and said to himself: I don't even know the history of this world has changed. Before the Song Dynasty, it may not be the prosperous Tang Dynasty as I understand it. Naturally, the two worlds cannot be compared.

After paying Yiguan copper coins as the city entry tax, Li Xuange entered the capital of the Western Song Dynasty.

The commerce and trade in the city are prosperous, the flow of people is like weaving, and there are many workshops and small shops everywhere, full of fresh life atmosphere. Compared with the rough and desolate outside the pass, it is naturally many times stronger.

But this is not very attractive to Li Xuange. The world of flowers and flowers he has seen is much bigger than this, so he is not full of restraint and country bumpkins like those in remote areas entering big cities for the first time.

With the attitude of appreciating the cultural relics of the museum, Li Xuange wandered around like a wanderer, with a bit of scrutiny in his leisure, and a sense of detachment from the world, which made him feel connected with the people around him who had lived in Chang'an City for a long time and the remote people who came to this city for a long time. Businessmen have a clear distinction.

This brought him an advantage, that is, gang members in the city who specialize in defrauding and stealing outsiders did not dare to take them as prey easily.

It wasn't until noon, after Li Xuange had had a full meal in a restaurant, that he asked Xiaoer how to get to Shi Shouxin's address.

During the dart transport before, Shi Shouxin told Li Xuange about the house he bought in Chang'an City.

As a result, the face of the waiter in the store changed, seeing that Li Xuange had given him enough tips, he leaned closer to his ear and whispered: "The guest officer just arrived in Chang'an City today?"

Li Xuange nodded suspiciously, and then Xiaoer said seriously: "I'm afraid the guest officer doesn't know yet, the rich family you mentioned was wiped out a month ago, and all the property was looted.

Oh, that family died in a terrible way, and the government is still looking for who the murderer is.Several families living nearby have temporarily moved out..."

Li Xuange was startled when he heard this, then shook his head and said, "It's Mingdifang Shifu, Zhuque Street, Nancheng, you're not mistaken about the place I mentioned, right?"

Xiao Er dissatisfied: "How could that be! This incident is known as the biggest murder case in Chang'an City in recent years. A family of eight members, including the master and the housekeeper, plus servants and housekeepers, a total of more than [-] people were killed. Died in the house.

Blood flowed all over the ground, and even the under-year-old babies were not spared. Such a cruel case was spread all over the city. How could I, a native of Chang'an City, remember it wrong! "

Li Xuange raised his sword, rushed out quickly, performed lightness kung fu and came to Shi Shouxin's house regardless of the crowd's scolding.

This place has been sealed by the government, and there are officials guarding the outside, so it is impossible to enter during the day.

He had to wait until night to get a chance. During the day, Li Xuange simply stayed in various theaters and storytelling places, listening to other people's discussions to learn about the murder case.

Among all kinds of bits and pieces of mixed news, Li Xuange vaguely spelled out the whole process of Shifu being destroyed.

The time when the tragedy happened was about two days after Li Xuange was rescued by Shen Lan.

Shi Shouxin had just returned to the city. Although he lost his belongings, he was still alive and returned home to meet his wife and children.

This person's wealth must not be limited to those who were robbed. On the night of arriving in Chang'an City, the tragedy happened suddenly.

The Lifang where Shi Shouxin lives are all rich and noble families, and there are naturally many patrolmen in the house and nursing home, including the city.

But on the night of the incident, no one noticed anything unusual.

As a general, Shi Shouxin himself is not weak in martial arts, and the guards at home are all from the elite of the army, so they are extremely vigilant.

But even so, all the guards were killed before they could resist, and the other servants were killed in their sleep.

Only Shi Shouxin once got out of bed and resisted, but he seemed to be shot and killed in the room before he could cry out, followed by his wife, children and concubines.

The murderer struck fiercely, cutting the weeds and roots, and the process of action was intense and short. It should have been done within a quarter of an hour of the Lifang patrol change, and then left quickly without leaving any clues.

After Li Xuange pieced together the information, he still planned to go to Shifu to have a look.

After nightfall, he changed into his night clothes, covered his face, and only brought his usual saber, and sneaked in from behind the house.

Entering the mansion at this time, one could still smell the smell of blood. Although the corpses in each room had been confiscated by the government, the bloodstains and traces of the scene had not been touched, and they were well protected.

Li Xuange looked from room to room until he came to Shi Shouxin's bedroom.

There was a streak of blood in the center of the bedroom, not deep, it should have flowed from the wound on Shi Shouxin's body after it burst.

Standing here, there was a spurt of blood on the opposite wall. Li Xuange looked there, thinking that when Shi Shouxin fought with someone, the opponent hit him in the chest with a palm or a punch.

Shi Shouxin suffered serious internal injuries, and a mouthful of blood spewed from his throat and splashed on the wall.

Then he himself slammed into the dresser behind him, knocking the dresser down.

Looking at the bloody palm prints on the stool in front of the dressing table, Shi Shouxin, who was seriously injured at the time, should have struggled to get up, and then he was hit hard and collapsed to the ground, so that the ground was covered with blood.

Li Xuange looked at the bed again, the bed was in chaos, and there was also a pool of blood, which should belong to Shi Shouxin's wife, and there was a baby cradle beside the bed, and there was also blood in the cradle.

Seeing this, he didn't want to think about it anymore, he only knew that the murderer was indeed as vicious and cruel as the people in the city had said, cutting grass and roots.

But he only knows so much. After all, he doesn't know how to solve the case, and he doesn't know who the real murderer is.

But he knew who to go to find out about the murderer, and Li Xuange would not let them go easily!

He walked out of the house with the sword in hand, but was suddenly startled. There was a person standing in the middle of the courtyard, a person as young as himself.

But the face is extremely handsome and extremely cold, as if engraved by frost, strangers are not allowed to enter.

The man was holding a sword, under the moonlight, the blade was frosty, but the scabbard was missing.

Li Xuange frowned slightly, and asked, "Who are you?"

The other party said coldly: "I should ask you this sentence, why did you come to the scene of the murder in Shifu?"

Li Xuange raised his eyebrows, "Are you from the government?"

"Cold-blooded, the police of the Chang'an government office are in charge of investigating this case."

Li Xuange quickly asked: "How is the progress? Have you ever found out who the murderer is?"

Leng Xue actually laughed, he had never laughed so weird before, and said: "You haven't answered my question yet."

Li Xuange thought for a while, since the other party was a member of the family investigating the murder, there was no need to conflict with him, so he simply took off his veil.

He clasped his fists and said, "Li Xuange, from outside the pass, is a friend of Shi Shouxin."
