The two of them returned from their trip to Taiping Taoist Temple without success.

Zhao Xing also found it strange at first that Fan Xiaodao, who had always been the eldest in the sky, the second in the world, and the third in the world, actually obeyed his heart the moment he met Taoist Taiping, which puzzled him.

If you want to solve the case, you may have to look at it from other angles.

The two came to Yizhuang.

The Diancang sect is a Lingnan sect. Yu Dadi died in a foreign land, so leaving the body in a mass grave was not a problem. After all, wild dogs came out at night. The group collected Yu Dadi's body and temporarily stored it in Yizhuang.

The most taboo thing for people is to die without a complete body. They found a few craftsmen, but when they saw the body parts frozen into a lump, they said that no matter how much money they gave, they couldn't do it. Finally, Fan Xiaodao invited Sun Wu to do it.

Came over.

When the two arrived, Sun Wu's work was almost completed. Yu Dadi's severed limbs and severed heads had been reattached, and his punctured face had been patched up with flour. He couldn't help but praise, "Old Sun, your craftsmanship is really good."

It’s not covered.”

Sun Wuzuo said: "What does this mean? More than ten years ago, I once received a job. There was a rich man in the south of the city. He liked to hide the money he earned in the attic on the roof. His daily pleasure was to climb up to the attic and count.

Money, and then I went to sleep downstairs with peace of mind. Later, I made more and more money, and the gold and silver in the attic became heavier and heavier. In the end, guess what?"

The two people asked curiously: "What's going on?"

"One night, the attic collapsed, and hundreds of thousands of taels of silver fell from the attic, smashing his head into pieces."

Fan Xiaodao said, "This is in compliance with the old saying of killing someone with money."

Sun Wuzuo continued, "After the funeral, his family came to me and asked me to fix it up. I used gold powder to give him a golden head, and then applied flour and makeup to make him look like a living person.

!”

"Then this head is worth a lot of money!"

Sun Wu said, "Isn't that right? After the news got out, some of the thieves asked me to find out where the rich man was buried. How could I know? Even if we knew, we couldn't tell. Isn't this unethical?

!”

While touching up Yu Dadi's makeup, he said, "It's a pity. It would be great to be a farmer at home and be a farmer for the rest of your life. If you have to be a gangster, you won't end up well in the end and will eventually die at the hands of others."

"Wait!" Fan Xiaodao asked, "Old Sun, how do you think he died?"

Sun Wu said: "Look at this corpse, there are several scars on the chest, body, and face. They should have been injured by the claws of some kind of animal, but the real fatal thing is the sword in the throat."

"A sword?"

Sun Wu said: "Exactly!" He gently broke off the newly connected head and disconnected it. He pointed at the section and said, "Although it has been processed, the section of the throat is extremely smooth and should have been cut with a sharp blade.

The throat incision was not big, it should have been a thin sword like the Cicada Wing Sword. As for the severed hands and limbs, it was after he died and his body was quartered."

"How can I see it?"

"The deceased was probably attacked by some kind of animal first and was injured. Although there was blood loss, it was not fatal. Then someone cut his neck. After the blood was drained, his limbs were cut off. Look at the marks on the limbs.

The blood vessels are shriveled, and it can be seen that the blood has been drained out when the limb was amputated."

"But judging from the cross-section, the limbs shouldn't be sharp blades, right?"

"Probably some kind of blunt instrument."

After hearing Sun Wuzuo's words, the two of them were immediately in awe.

Unexpectedly, after his analysis, there were new hidden details in the case. Originally, it was a bit far-fetched that the cat demon killed people. If Yu Dadi was really harmed by others, then the situation would be somewhat different.

Who is the murderer?

First of all, he is a human being, and secondly, he knows martial arts, and he is also someone who is known to Yu Dadi. At least he hates Yu Dadi. Otherwise, who would brave the cold weather to do such a thing as dismembering the body in the wilderness?

Come?

Bai Jie walked in and saw Sun Wuzuo restoring Yu Dadi's body. He said it looked so similar. He couldn't help but kneel down on the ground and kowtow to Sun Wuzuo. Sun Wuzuo helped him up and said, "Master Yu is like you."

Disciple, my heart feels at ease after death."

Fan Xiaodao asked: "What are your plans for Dian Cang?"

Bai Jie said: "We senior brothers have discussed it. Unfortunately for our sect, we will withdraw from this martial arts competition. Tonight, all the disciples will observe mourning for one night. After the funeral tomorrow, a few of us will carry the coffin back to Dian Cangshan Mountain."

Fan Xiaodao thought about it and had no choice but to do so. Seeing that he was still wearing the blood-stained clothes, he said: "Master Bai has had a hard day, why don't you change the blood-stained clothes first?"

Bai Jie said, "We were in such a hurry today. When we came, we only prepared one coat. As soon as something happened, we were so busy that we didn't have time to change it out."

Fan Xiaodao said, "This is not the solution anyway. Just wait a moment." After a while, he brought a piece of linen clothes over and handed it to him, "This is borrowed from the monk in Yizhuang. You can change it first."

Let’s talk about it later.”

Bai Jie nodded in thanks and took off his bloody outer shirt. Seeing that there were a lot of blood stains on the inner shirt, Fan Xiaodao said, "It's a pity that there is no inner shirt."

Bai Jie said, "Wear it inside, it won't get in the way."

Fan Xiaodao said, "There will be a funeral tomorrow. Send your brothers and sisters to inform the seniors in the Jianghu. As members of the Jianghu sect, when you walk in the Jianghu in the future, you, the Diancang sect, will still count on their help. You still have to show due etiquette.

All right! If you need help, just tell Capt. Song, I told him to cooperate with you and do a good job in the funeral arrangements for Master Yu."

Bai Jie bowed to the end, "Thank you Fan Captou, Zhao Captou!"

The two came out.

Fan Xiaodao asked, "What did you see?"

Zhao Xingdao: "It's getting dark, and time is a bit tight. You can choose the venue or the inn."

Fan Xiaodao said, "I'll go to the scene, you go to the inn."

The two of them acted separately.

Fan Xiaodao returned to the scene again. Last time he came to look for problems with the results, and he concluded that a cat wanted to kill someone. Now he was looking for evidence with doubts, and his mentality was completely different. Yu Dadi's body had been carried away, but the scene was still a mess.

Messy.

He cut his throat with a sword, but he didn't use a sword to divide his body.

What is the murder weapon?

Fan Xiaodao looked around and fell into deep thought.

A low growl brought him back to reality.

Not far away, three wild dogs stood on the mound and roared low at him, seeming to declare that they were the owners of the mass grave. These wild dogs eat dead bodies and carrion all year round, and their eyes glow green.

At dusk, it looks a bit scary.

Fan Xiaodao waved his hand, trying to disperse them.

However, this move had no effect on them at all. On the contrary, the wild dogs' eyes became more and more intense, and their mouths were filled with tears. Only then did Fan Xiaodao realize that it was these three dogs who regarded him as their dinner.

Thinking of this, the long sword was unsheathed.

Three wild dogs formed a glyph and surrounded him. Two dogs slowly approached him, and the other one was on guard all around to prevent Fan Xiaodao from escaping. When they were about three feet away from Fan Xiaodao, the two dogs suddenly accelerated,

One left and one right, they rushed towards Fan Xiaodao.

Fan Xiaodao dodged and swung his long knife, killing a dog. He kicked the other dog and kicked it away. The dog flew far away. After landing, it whined twice and stopped moving.

.

The third dog was left. Seeing that his two companions were dead, he quickly left here.

Fan Xiaodao looked back and saw that the dog that had been kicked away earlier was stabbed to death by a leg bone that was half exposed.

Most of the dead people buried in mass graves are poor people, and most of the coffin boards are made of dogs. Some people are not even buried when they are dead. They are just rolled up in mats and thrown here. In addition, there are wild dogs and vultures all year round, which accumulates over time.

, exposed to the wind and sun, many bones were directly exposed.

Fan Xiaodao's heart moved and he suddenly said, "It's a bone knife!"

If the white bones were made into bone knives and used to dismember corpses, it would indeed look like they were cut by the claws of animals. In this way, the murderous sword in the neck could be easily covered up. Thinking of this, he searched everywhere, and sure enough,

On the ground, he found a few bone fragments, as if they had been cut off with a sharp blade, but he searched again and couldn't find the bone knife. However, it was right to think about it, since the murderer could take this piece of bone.

Putting the blame on the cat demon, naturally he would not leave such a thing at the scene.

Fan Xiaodao returned to the city before closing the city gate and met Zhao Xing.

After telling what he had discovered, he asked Zhao Xing about the situation. Zhao Xing said: "Eight people from the Diancang sect came this time. Yu Dadi and the eldest disciple Bai Jie all have a room of their own, and the others all share a room with two people."

, I asked the clerk, after the third watch last night, no one went out except for getting up in the courtyard. "

Fan Xiaodao asked, "Could it be that we suspected the wrong person?"

Zhao Xingdao, "I believe in intuition."

Fan Xiaodao said, "The last time I said this, you criticized me. You can't have double standards as a person."

Zhao Xing asked: "If you were a murderer, you had a blood feud with Yu Dadi, and you wanted to cut his body into pieces. Tomorrow is his funeral, would you go?"

"meeting!"

"Why?"

Fan Xiaodao speculated on the murderer's psychology and said: "It is a very fulfilling thing for me to pay homage to Master Yu's body in front of all the sects and let them see my masterpiece.

If there is another idiot who catches the head and analyzes it randomly at the scene, I will get even greater pleasure!"

Zhao Xing asked, "So tomorrow, will you be the fool, or will I be the one?"
