It’s just that Xiangxiang is a little blind. What’s so good about a yellow dog?

Well, that can’t be said. It’s ok to bring his face into the picture, but his character cannot be brought into the picture either. Yan Tiexin is a righteous man.

"Where was the crime?"

"Master Wu, please come this way?" Yan Tiexin had a good impression of Wu Ming. At least, he didn't see that arrogant behavior in Wu Ming, and he was quite polite to him.

"This is a vault that Old Master Feng built specifically to store military pay. Although it is not made of gold or iron, it is also very sturdy."

"After the crime, the door of the vault was broken, and no one in Fengzhuang survived. The money in the vault disappeared completely. What's strange is that when I performed the autopsy, I found that the wounds on the bodies were very simple. It doesn't seem like there were multiple people committing the crime. It seems that there was only one person who did it. But if there was only one person, how did he carry away so much money without leaving any traces?"

Yan told her about his doubts in detail and was not stingy in sharing his findings.

…………

Chapter 86: Maid's Advantage

Yan Tiexin was indeed a veteran of the Six Gates. The entire scene was preserved very completely. The postures of all the victims after they fell to the ground, the sizes of their wounds, and whether they were injured by fists, feet, or weapons were all marked.

In a place like the vault, apart from the original traces, there is not even a single footprint left.

Wu Ming entered the vault, and influenced by the memories in his mind, he directly opened his Purple Demon Eyes and locked his gaze on the wall of the vault.

According to the scene in memory, the money never left the Feng Mansion. Instead, a new wall was built on the original foundation to separate the boxes containing the money.

Moreover, the vault of Fengzhuang is not simple either. It was built by Lu Zhi, a well-known craftsman in the world. In the original drama, it was this old man who first discovered this, because Lu Zhi was a blind man. He designed the vault, but when he came in for the second time, he hit a wall in this place that should have been familiar to him.

You have to know that the blind man Lu Zhi is not Hua Manlou. His ability to identify locations by sound is not that strong. Normally, he relies on the powerful memory in his mind to move around. He will not go wrong in the vault built under his own supervision.

But he just hit a wall here.

It should be this wall. The Purple Demon Pupil is indeed useful. It is convenient for seeing Xue Zi and also for investigating cases.

After all, it is a newly built wall. No matter how hard you try to cover it up and make it look old, it will still be easily exposed under the Purple Demon Eye.

However, although the discovery has been made, the wall in front of us cannot be torn down now. Regardless of whether the case has changed or not, if we rashly advance the case as soon as we arrive, if we really solve the case, our stay in Jiangnan will be greatly shortened, which will only cause more trouble.

For me, this is a pure losing business and I absolutely cannot do it.

"Let's go!" After pretending to look at her a few more times, Wu Ming set his sights on Hua Manlou.

"Leave? Leave now, without taking another look?"

"No, Brother Yan is very experienced, and he didn't see anything, so I can't do it either. Besides, I'm exhausted from the journey, so what I need most right now is rest. I'm not in a hurry to investigate the case."

Wu Ming smiled and looked at Yan Tiexin meaningfully. At this moment, during his investigation just now, he discovered a small key problem. In his memory, Feng Jiutian, the owner of Feng Manor, was not dead, but was hidden by this guy first.

This information was crucial. Logically speaking, Yan Tiexin should have informed the court about this matter since he was sent by the court to take over the case. However, he hadn't said a word for half a day.

Is it distrust or is there some other hidden secret? It seems there is a story behind this!

As for the matter of the ringing coins, Wu Ming was not in a hurry. Since he had noticed that there was something wrong with the wall, the ringing coins were most likely hidden behind the wall. After all, the 50,000 taels of gold in the original book could not be transported away in time, so it would be even more difficult to transport the more than 300,000 strings of Kaiyuan Tongbao coins.

It would be extremely difficult to find time to kill someone, transport the money out, and then hide it, so the money must still be there.

"Brother Hua, are there any fun places in Xuyi County?" Wu Ming skillfully put his arms around Hua Manlou's neck and pressed his palm on the familiar Xue Zi.

"No, there's nothing fun to do there."

Seeing that he was careless and Wu Ming would take advantage of him again, Hua Daochang was instantly numb. Moreover, why was this man like this? His seventh brother praised him so much, and that was it? This investigation was too perfunctory.

With such character, how could he become the great master!

"Master Wu, thank you for your praise. I know of an interesting place. There is an elegant place called Chong Er Lou in this county. If you like it, you may go and have a look."

"Brother Hua, do you know about this good thing? If you do, please show us the way!"

Wu Ming's mind moved, and he continued the conversation. He realized that this matter really could not go according to the plot. Yan Tiexin was obviously not willing for him to stay in Fengzhuang any longer.

As for the previous briefings, they were only to clear himself and prevent Wu Ming from paying too much attention to him.

Why do I say so? An old detective, who is also known as a master detective, must have an extraordinary persistence in investigating cases. Wu Ming's nonchalant behavior not only did not cause his dissatisfaction, but instead actively provided him with a way out. This is very strange.

And the word "doubt" is very interesting. When you think he is a good person, then he is a good person everywhere. But when you suspect that he is a bad person, then you have ten thousand reasons to prove that he is a bad person.

Of course, this is just Wu Ming's guess, and there is no rush to find out the truth.

Anyway, just keep an eye on it and make sure the money doesn't run away. The murderer can't just kill people for no reason and then hide the money.

As long as he is after money, he will find a way to transport the money sooner or later. If it is not for money, then he will have to wait even longer.

After pulling and tugging, and with their arms around each other's chests, Wu Ming walked away carrying "Hua Manlou". Behind them, Yan Tiexin watched them leave indifferently, with his brows furrowed.

"It's still broad daylight. You don't really want to go to the second floor with insects at this time!" Hua Changdao looked at Wu Ming, who seemed to be determined to visit the brothel in broad daylight, and couldn't help being speechless.

As for Yukiko, she got used to it after being pressed down on her. She was shy once, shy twice, but by the third time, she was completely numb.

"Of course not. I came all the way here and just got off the ship. You have to arrange a place for me to stay."

"Arrange it, arrange it, arrange it now, come this way!"

Hua Daochang led the way helplessly. She had wanted to play a trick on Wu Ming, but now she had lost the heart to do so. This man was completely different from what she had imagined.

A big house with a word "Hua" hanging on the gate. It was obviously the house of the Hua family. Wu Ming and his two companions were directly abandoned by Hua Daochang, who pointed out a few servants.

The main residence of the Hua family is Taohua Fort in Jiangsu, but the Hua family's real estate is far more than that. Why is the Hua family said to be the richest family in Jiangnan? There is a saying that goes, if you are given a thousand-mile horse in Jiangnan, it will not be able to run out of the scope of the Hua family's real estate even if it runs for a whole day. Tell me if they are rich or not.

The servants of the Hua family were very well-mannered. Not only were they well-mannered, they were also very considerate. They actually prepared the bath water for the baby, and after that, they left immediately.

Wu Ming walked into the room and stretched out his arms boldly. Ah Zhu and Ah Bi looked at each other with red faces, and then obediently began to help Wu Ming take off his clothes.

After Wu Ming got into the bathtub naked, the two of them silently took off their clothes, wearing only their tops and pants, and followed him in.

This is one advantage of being a maid: when others are busy investigating cases, they still have time to take a bath with Wu Ming. But for Wu Ming, this old pervert, it is obviously impossible for him to just take a bath.

I can’t say for sure, I’ll have to open both the official account and the official account today.

Sure enough, when the two people stretched out their white little hands to help Wu Ming wash, Wu Ming's big hands also caught two beautiful clams in the bathtub!

……

Chapter 87: Huh

"Seventh brother, why... did you wake up? +" After dealing with Wu Ming, the plague god, Hua Daochang quickly walked to Hua Manlou's room. She finally remembered her seventh brother who had been knocked unconscious.

"Why did I wake up? I didn't sleep for long at all. You really feel sorry for me as your brother, so you should know to use less medicine." Hua Manlou frowned, then immediately relaxed with a look of relief on his face.

"Brother...!" Hua Daochang restored his original appearance and called out in a disgusting voice.

"Okay, you don't need to act like a spoiled child in front of me. Just tell me what happened today. Your master of disguise has praised it before, so you shouldn't be exposed." The master that Hua Manlou mentioned was naturally Zhang Sanfeng of Wudang. This was also the reason why he chose to go with the flow after waking up.

To put it bluntly, he didn't know much about Wu Ming, and he didn't think it was a good choice to rashly expose his sister.

"Stop talking. This Wu Ming is completely different from the person you mentioned. Okay, I went to the ferry today..."

"Wait, you mean, as soon as he met you, he hugged you warmly, put his arm around your shoulders, and called you Brother Hua?" Hua Manlou felt something was wrong the more he listened. He hurriedly interrupted Hua Daochang's story, his brows tightly furrowed.

"Yeah, what's the problem?"

"Of course there is a problem. My relationship with this Lord Wu is far from what you said. Moreover, if this man was someone as unreliable as Lu Xiaofeng, he would probably treat me like this. Lord Wu gives me the impression that he would never do such a thing."

"Think carefully, what was his reaction when he saw you for the first time?"

"At first glance, I seemed to be stunned for a moment."

"Think about it, is there anything unusual about his eyes? Or his nose or ears? Is there anything special about them?"

"The nose and ears are gone, but the eyes seem to be a little purple."

"That's right. Master once said that your disguise skills are unmatched in the world. Unless you are a person who has practiced a special technique, the immortals and gods below the earth will be able to see the clues. Lord Wu must have discovered your disguise at a glance, but he guessed that you have some relationship with me, so he chose not to expose you."

"That is to say, he knew I was a woman a long time ago." Hua Daochang said gritting her teeth. The pink marks on her snow-white hair had just faded a little.

"This is the only explanation. Otherwise, he would not have behaved so abnormally." Hua Manlou smiled bitterly. He thought so much about it in the mansion, and wondered why his sister suddenly gritted her teeth.

"Nong Ying, is there anything you haven't told me yet? Wu Ming is said to be a bit lascivious. Will he take advantage of you?"

"No, how could I let him take advantage of me?" Hua Changdao's mouth was the only thing that was tough on his body.

"That's fine. Actually, you can avoid him appropriately. He's a playboy, but I haven't heard of him forcing anyone. Lu Xiaofeng is not bad in this regard, so there's nothing wrong with him."

"However, you are my sister, and I still hope that you can meet someone who is devoted to you."

"I see. He's just as nagging as my dad. I even took him to Feng Manor later, but he just took a few glances and left. He even said he wanted to go to the second floor of the insect building. You should get ready and go with him tonight."

Hua Daochang suppressed her panicked mood, roughly explained what happened next, and then pushed the door and left. If she stayed any longer, she was afraid that her seventh brother would hear something wrong.

After Hua Daochang walked out of the door, he became more and more angry the more he thought about it. He could not help it and walked directly to the room arranged for Wu Ming and the other two. He also took out a thunder and fire egg in his hand, which made it clear that he wanted to give Wu Ming a hard time.

In the room, there were countless water stains splashing around the bathtub, and the three people in the tub had long disappeared. Looking again, it was discovered that Wu Ming was lying on the bed, instructing Ah Zhu and Ah Bi on martial arts.

This was an astonishing spear. There was a faint stain of blood on the tip of the spear, as if it had just been through a tough battle. Wu Ming waved the spear and demonstrated how to use it.

Whether stabbing or piercing, or picking or pressing, the spear in his hand shook out a bunch of gun flowers, so fast that you could see the afterimage. In order to make the demonstration more exciting, Wu Ming would stab either Azhu or Abie's holster before firing, with extreme accuracy.

Although Ah Zhu and Ah Bi's holsters were new, they became lubricated enough due to the friction of the gun bodies, and there was no resistance at all every time the guns were inserted and withdrawn. With Wu Ming's wonderful gun skills, the gun could always reach the bottom, and occasionally even break through the constraints of the holsters and enter a new world.

Ah Zhu and Ah Bi put pillows under their waists and supported themselves on the bed with their hands, watching Wu Ming's performance in fascination. Perhaps it was because his shooting skills were too dangerous, but when they were excited, their foreheads were covered with sweat, their eyes were wide open with admiration and excitement, and the snow on their chests kept rising and falling with their emotions.

Hua Daochang, who was holding the thunder and fire bomb and ready to show off his feminine power, just approached the window when he heard the sound of a spear being put into the holster. He could even hear clearly the cheers of Ah Zhu and Ah Bi, and the panting of Wu Ming as he practiced shooting.

Hua Daochang, who had traveled far and wide and had spent quite some time in the martial arts world, naturally knew what Wu Ming's one-on-two shooting skills meant. After listening for a while, his body involuntarily softened, his knees bent, and he could hardly stand.

At this time, the thunder and fire bomb in his hand slid down his palm to the ground. This thunder and fire bomb came from Leijiabao in Jiangnan. It was a very powerful firearm. The condition for triggering it was to be hit after the mechanism was activated.

Wu Ming knew that Hua Daochang was here. After all, he had practiced the Dao Heart Demon Planting Technique, and the fluctuations on Hua Daochang's body were so clear. He certainly didn't mind someone eavesdropping. After all, he wanted more beauties to see his marksmanship. But he definitely minded that at this time, there were multiple women on the bed, and multiple smoking, embarrassed women at that.

The mechanism of the thunder and fire bomb had been triggered long ago, so it exploded instantly when it hit the ground. Hua Daochang realized something was wrong a second before the thunder and fire bomb hit the ground. When he flew to dodge, he was blown into the house by the blast and landed on the bed.

The Hua family is very wealthy, and the bed is really big. After placing Ah Zhu and Ah Bi side by side, it wouldn't seem crowded even if there was another Hua Daochang. But at this time, Wu Ming's gun was still in Ah Zhu's holster.

Ah Zhu still had her mouth open with an intoxicated expression on her face. Ah Bi had just received a shot and was immersed in Wu Ming's wonderful spearmanship. This... this was not a joke.

Two screams were heard. Hua Daochang woke up from her confusion and saw this scene. After she came to her senses, she screamed again. She wanted to escape but was blown away without any strength.

He was injured to some extent, although he dodged in time and had the internal energy to protect himself.

Moreover, the thunder and fire bombs were the ordinary ones without any additives.

Wu Ming drew his gun and continued. He had guessed the specific situation, but he could not stop shooting. The most important thing in shooting practice is to see it through to the end.

He didn't poke Hua Daochang, his target was still Ah Zhu and Ah Bi, but he had to practice the shooting skills until he finished.

Ah Zhu and Ah Bi wanted to hide, after all, there was a stranger here, but they were held by Wu Ming's hands and could not escape. They could only tear off some rags and cover their faces.
