Chapter 402: Hanging the Warrior

"Yes, of course." Xiao Changgong said, "Lord Sui mentioned it to me this morning. Wu Hejian once said that he wanted to leave the Jade Tiger to you. I think you also..."

He was silent for a moment, then gently patted the boy's still weak shoulder: "Life is mortal, and it is a good death. For us, Hejian, dying in a strange case is like a crane dying in Kunlun. Wuhejian is the most outstanding senior in our station, and dying in a case like this is worthy of him."

Pei Ye hummed, but Xiao Changgong turned around and said, "Hongliang, go and do your work. I'll go with Young Master Pei to take a look."

Leading the young man inside.

The body without a hole was placed alone in the deepest quiet room.

Outside the three thresholds, Xiao Changgong began to show his crane badge and official documents, and the two were carefully identified.

The standards of security here are indeed very high. The moment Pei Ye stepped over the first threshold, he felt the coverage of the formation. This area of ​​the Law Enforcement Hall was quickly and temporarily transformed into a restricted room by the Immortal Platform.

Pei Ye understood why after a brief thought - Wudong died in a head-on fight with Qu Zhu. He had been a crane inspector for twenty years and knew clearly how the Immortal Terrace would investigate his body later.

Whenever he has the chance, he will leave clues in some secret places.

Now, the pursuit of Qu Zhu who has disappeared without a trace may be the clearest main line that Xianrentai can grasp.

Pei Ye stepped over the threshold and saw several people in clean clothes standing in the empty room talking in low voices, and the old man's body came right into his sight.

The iconic pair of sharp grey eyes were no longer visible, their eyes were closed coldly, and the blood-stained, messy grey hair hung down in wisps.

Pei Ye knew very early on that dead people are not completely limp. After their strength is gone, they will become hard and heavy, especially in their faces, especially those who have lived for some time after their death. That kind of expression cannot be performed by living people.

He was still nailed to the wall.

Not much cleaning or tidying was done, but everything possible was done to restore the old man's appearance when he died.

"Everything had been destroyed when we entered the cave." Xiao Changgong's steady voice sounded beside him, "Qu Zhu should have returned there later and erased all traces before leaving - but he did not destroy Wudong's body."

"We found him in the rubble and after a night of recovery, we believe he died from being pierced through the throat and nailed to the wall."

Pei Ye looked at the corpse on the wall. The bloodstained clothes were broken, the broken arms were missing, and the internal organs were exposed. He lowered his eyes and nodded: "That's it."

"This isn't a difficult task." Xiao Changgong walked forward. "The important thing is to find the clues."

"We have actually made quite a bit of progress. As the traces from the cave continue to come in, many of the scars reflect the characteristics of the murderer." He came to the desk and pointed at the numerous new books. "Look, we are doing special analysis on almost every scar."

Pei Ye lowered his eyes and looked. The achievements of the Immortal Terrace in just two days were indeed amazing enough. On the page that Xiao Changgong pointed to, Wudong's broken arm and the final trend of his muscle and bone strength were listed together. It was determined that Wudong had used that [Yanwang Sword] and must have made some contributions, but his arm was cut off by this fatal sword.

The arm holding the sword was removed, which meant that the fight had come to an end. The old man's body had reached its limit, and there was indeed no sign of more rounds. His next move was pierced through the throat by his own sword.

Pei Ye looked over and saw many other analyses listed, all of them detailed and thorough, and the battle was slowly being restored.

But he pursed his lips slightly, realizing the dilemma facing Xianrentai.

The analysis of the sword skills from the scars and the separation of the battle formations accurately pointed to the identity of the murderer, explaining how he killed Wudong in the fight with every move.

But what's the point?

This is not a game of finding the real murderer. They have long known that it was Qu Zhu who killed the old man. What they need to know now is where he went.

And where Qu Zhu went after killing people and destroying the cave obviously had little to do with this battle.

"We are wondering why Qu Zhu didn't destroy Wudong's body." Xiao Changgong obviously knew what the young man was thinking, and stroked the table and said, "We hope that he modified something to mislead us, so that we can find clues if we reveal the original appearance. What we don't want is that all the clues that this body can provide have nothing to do with his whereabouts, so it's better to leave it to tie us down."

"Now?"

Xiao Changgong said quietly, "New wounds are constantly being opened, but nothing abnormal can be found."

"."

"But we still have some hope." Xiao Changgong looked at the people who were still busy.

Pei Ye looked at him.

"Because, a Crane Inspector would never fight such a battle alone and deep in the enemy's territory unless he has no choice." Xiao Changgong looked quietly at the old man's body on the wall and said softly, "When I entered Taiwan, Lord Wu was already the Crane Inspector. He is the senior whom I admire most. He knows better than anyone how to make a sharp and thin short blade rather than a long spear that will destroy both party and enemy. Since he made this choice..." Xiao Changgong did not say anything else.

"But Qu Zhu is no match for Yi Yu." Pei Ye said. He will always remember the figure of the genius in the valley on that snowy night.

"Yes, that's right. Qu Zhu is just as terrible and difficult to deal with. Liu Feng died there, and he casually left Master Wu's body to us." Xiao Changgong paused, "But there is nothing we can do. We can only believe that Master Wu will win this game."

".yes."

The two were silent for a while, and Pei Ye whispered, "Thank you, Sir Xiao, for bringing me here."

Xiao Changgong nodded, and the two of them went out.

"What else does Young Master Pei want to know? I'll lead you there."

Pei Ye waved his hand: "No need, Lord Xiao, it's too much trouble. I can just walk around casually."

"Okay, then just ask if you have anything to say."

Xiao Changgong nodded and left, but Pei Ye stood there without moving. He slowly leaned back against the wall, silently turning his head to look in the direction he came out.

Pei Ye was not confident that he knew how to investigate cases better than Xianren Tai. He believed that everything he could discover and think of would be recorded by Xianren Tai without omission.

So at this moment he had to accept that the black robe had indeed disappeared.

When Sima and Yi Duanzhi came to chase them, Qu Zhu took over the [Xi Ting Xin] from Jing Long and left here first.

There is no need for [Xi Ting Xin] to hunt them down, so in this way, Huan Si Lou will not lose everything.

Pei Ye seemed to see the old man nailed to the wall again through several doors and walls, and the feeling of blood boiling when he first saw that scene in the cave came back to him again.

He actually just wanted to say a formal farewell to the old man, but Xiao Changgong's words suddenly made him feel uncontrollably depressed.

A man died in a strange case, and a crane died in Kunlun. If this is the value of the old man's life, then Pei Ye suddenly realized that he seemed to be the only person who could achieve this victory for him.

He broke into the cave alone, forcing Qu Zhu to fight back, then seriously injured the enemy and destroyed the magic circle against the young man, leaving him with a perfect endgame to clean up.

But he lived up to this death.

"I'm going to take a gamble. If the kid wins, we'll win completely."

He died for this big case, but has this case been completely won now?

of course not.

He just failed to let the enemy succeed, but [Xi Ting Xin] was still taken away by them, Miss Ming was still seriously injured, and many people in Shaolong and Xilong died, while the murderer who caused Master Li to die and Piaoqing to lose his arm, is still at large.

Only what was destroyed was left.

Pei Ye lowered his eyes and gently stroked the beautiful long sword in his hand. At this moment, he remembered very clearly the last words the gray-eyed old man said to him.

"The crane dies in Kunlun." He murmured hoarsely, gripped the sword tightly, and stood up from the wall.

Of course it’s very good now.

Pei Ye closed his eyes.

After all, there are still many people alive, and now there is a sense of relief in the air. Everyone is happy about the large-scale eradication of the Huansi Building, and feels relieved that the descendant of Yun Lang did not really die in the clutches of the dark. After all, a person who has not been arrested yet is also a fugitive.

Pei Ye didn't want to spoil everyone's fun. Although it was tragic, it was a victory after all - there was still plenty of time in the future.

He pushed this feeling deep into his heart and pulled a smile out of the corner of his mouth.

He stood up and was about to go out when suddenly the young man next to him named Hong Liang called him.

"Eh? Since Master Pei is here, can you come and help?" Hong Liang asked, "I remember that Master Pei seems to be quite good at fire magic. We found a copy of the Fire Planting Book from Sima's line."
