El mundo de las artes marciales es un pozo

Capítulo 15

He sighed and turned around: "I really shouldn't have let you see this."

The same pair of cold, bright, and incredibly sharp eyes, though less serious, now held a hint of evil and cruelty, making them quite conspicuous even in the darkness.

Kuroshiro!

He Bi was clearly also very surprised. It was rarer for an assassin to run into a detective than for a rabbit to run into a fox. It was like walking into a trap!

"Isn't it strange?" Kuroshiro grinned and chuckled twice, with his usual wicked smile. "I've killed a lot of people and committed many murders. It's only natural for you to take me now."

After a while.

“You are Lao Li’s friend,” He Bi looked at him and slowly said, “You haven’t killed anyone wrong in the last two years, and the higher-ups haven’t ordered me to arrest you. I never meddle in other people’s business.”

A moment of silence.

Kuroshiro laughed: "I have no friends."

He Bi didn't argue, but coldly said, "I heard you've always only taken on murder cases, but lately you seem to have changed a lot."

No words were spoken.

A chilly night wind swept by, and two figures stood silently in the night, both standing almost perfectly straight.

for a long time.

Hei Shiro lowered his head and said, "I can't say."

“I didn’t tell you to say anything,” He Bi suddenly interrupted. “There are some things Li You won’t say, but you’d better not take on any more business lately.”

There was no answer, but a hint of hesitation, rarely seen in assassins, flickered in those sinister eyes.

He suddenly raised his head and looked directly at He Bi: "Could you please not investigate this matter?"

Hei Shiro never asked anyone for anything.

He Bi remained silent with a cold expression.

Without needing to be spoken, the answer was already clear. Hei Shiro finally sighed: "Do you know why I lured you out?"

He Bi's expression changed slightly, but quickly returned to normal. She looked at him coldly and asked, "Are you going to help him?"

He remained silent for a long while.

"I owe him a favor, you... be careful." The words had barely left his lips when he vanished.

The dagger was pulled out by a slender, clean hand, and gleamed with a cold light in the candlelight, like a deep, cold spring rippling with clear water.

Li You furrowed his long eyebrows: "Brother Nangong, do you recognize this?"

Nangong Xue sighed and smiled bitterly: "Not only do I recognize them, but I'm very familiar with them."

"Oh?" Li You wasn't surprised at all; in fact, he seemed to find it extremely interesting.

Yang Nianqing immediately asked, "Whose is it?"

Nangong Xue took the dagger: "It is all I have."

Actually, Yang Nianqing had already guessed the answer even without him saying it. Besides, there was a "snow" character engraved on it. If she still didn't understand, she would really be blind.

"The murderer definitely isn't you. You've been with us the whole time. Who would kill someone with a knife engraved with their own name?" She thought for a moment, then muttered, "He's crazy. Why would he kill someone who's already dead? He's a psychopath..."

Before she could finish speaking, Li You said in a deep voice, "This is bad!"

As soon as he finished speaking, a thick yellow-white smoke suddenly billowed from the coffin, as if it were on fire, accompanied by a strange burning smell, which spread throughout the cabin.

Yang Nianqing and Nangong Xue had been pushed back several steps by Li You before they finally stood still.

She was horrified: "This is..."

“Criminal fluid,” Li You frowned, “the smoke is poisonous.”

Nangong Xue was stunned for a long time before finally sighing, "I never imagined that this cremation water still exists in the world!"

The three of them stood there for a moment.

Li You looked at the dagger in his hand: "It's coated on the blade."

Nangong Xue nodded.

The situation was already complicated and strange enough. Several people died one after another inexplicably at Nangong Villa. The cause of death was the long-lost Ten Thousand Poison Blood Palm technique. Now, someone is trying to take the corpses, using the almost extinct cremation water!

Li You frowned, seemingly lost in thought again.

Thick smoke continued to billow out, and an unpleasant smell permeated the entire cabin. Yang Nianqing couldn't help but pinch her nose: "What are you thinking about?"

There was no response.

Always so secretive! Yang Nianqing pouted in annoyance and went over to sit down.

Nangong Xue looked at Li You and suddenly smiled: "Brother Li is probably just wondering about something."

Li You smiled as well.

She immediately replied, "What is it?"

"Brother Li must be wondering why that person would harm Master Zhang's remains."

“So what? Anyone could think of that,” Yang Nianqing shook her head. “Maybe he’s a psychopath who wants to torture a corpse. It’s horrible. Some murderers are just psychopaths with mental disorders…”

As she continued rambling on and on, an amused expression appeared on Li You's handsome face: "If he really was still angry and wanted to torture the corpse, why wait until now? Don't forget that the corpse was originally in his hands."

Nangong Xue suppressed a laugh: "Exactly."

After a while.

Yang Nianqing murmured, "He probably wanted to destroy the evidence."

Li You shook his head: "Destroying the body to cover up the evidence is just to cut off our clues. If that were the case, it should have been done before we found Mr. Chrysanthemum. Now that we know this is the Ten Thousand Poison Blood Palm, the corpse is no longer important. Why would he bother to cover it up?"

The analysis was meticulous; he's definitely not just bluffing!

Yang Nianqing secretly admired him, then lowered her head and thought for a long time before suddenly jumping up: "There must be other clues on this corpse, right? Did we miss them?!"

Li You smiled bitterly: "It's too late to understand now."

Sure enough, in less than a minute, only a pile of dark, pungent, burnt-smelling stuff remained in the coffin, like a pile of charcoal.

What a vicious potion!

Yang Nianqing felt a chill run down her spine and looked out the window: "He's been following us the whole time."

“That’s right,” Li You sighed. “He knew our whereabouts perfectly. He deliberately lured He Bi out, then used you to distract me before he attacked the corpse.”

No sooner had he finished speaking than the window suddenly slammed shut with a "bang"!

A figure flashed in.

Yang Nianqing was startled and instinctively hid behind Li You. Upon closer inspection, she realized it was He Bi who had returned. She wiped her forehead; despite the cold weather, she was sweating. She had been through so much fright in just a few days in this ancient world. Luckily, she had a high tolerance for stress, otherwise she would have had a heart attack.

Li You stopped mocking her and looked at He Bi with a guilty expression.

Looking at the coffin in front of him, He Bi clearly already knew what was going on, and coldly said, "He's here?"

"yes."

"how?"

Li You did not reply.

Nangong Xue said apologetically, "He used cremation fluid."

He Bi was not surprised. He glanced at the coffin, bent down to pick up the coffin lid from the ground and put it back on, then walked over and sat down on the chair.

silence.

Li You slowly said, "He was always outside the door..."

“He attacked Xiao Nian to distract Brother Li,” Nangong Xue explained, “We were just…”

“You just didn’t expect him to harm the corpse,” He Bi suddenly spoke, a somewhat stiff smile appearing on his cold face. “Actually, I didn’t expect it either.”

All three of them laughed.

Just then, Yang Nianqing suddenly grabbed Li You.

"Since you knew the murderer was outside, why didn't you chase after him? Aren't you the best in light-footed martial arts? Maybe you could have caught up with him!"

“Someone has already gone, so why should I?” Li You smiled bitterly and murmured, “It is truly a cause for celebration that someone has become so bold.”

Yang Nianqing blushed immediately, released him, and sat back down in her chair. It was all because he wanted to protect her and Nangong Xue…

“He’s no good,” He Bi looked at her. “His lightness skill is for escaping, not for catching people. Mine is.”

faint!

I can't believe there are such differences in lightness skills. It's true that things you haven't experienced are unbelievable. If you haven't practiced lightness skills, it's best not to make assumptions and talk nonsense. This martial arts world is too strange...

Yang Nianqing sighed inwardly, muttering, "So, lightness skills aren't all the same?"

Li You suppressed a laugh: "Of course it's the same."

“The difference is the people,” He Bi said coldly. “I have a knife, he doesn’t.”

"Isn't he the best at hidden weapons?" Yang Nianqing seemed to have thought of something and suddenly looked at Li You in surprise. "By the way, why haven't I seen your hidden weapons? Are you too lazy to even bring them?"

He Bi nodded: "Is he as lazy as a pig?"

She was stunned.

Nangong Xue smiled and said, "Brother Li doesn't need to bring any hidden weapons."

"Why?"

“Because,” Nangong Xue turned to look at Li You, “anything that falls into Brother Li’s hands becomes a hidden weapon.”

Yang Nianqing was stunned again.

"Compared to carrying swords and knives, isn't this much less troublesome?" Li You frowned. "I learned hidden weapons precisely because I dislike trouble."

"You can use anything as a hidden weapon? So arrogant?" Yang Nianqing finally came to her senses, looked Li You up and down, and said sarcastically, "I didn't realize that you, who spend your days flirting and whining without doing anything productive, were actually not a good guy after all..."

Li You looked at her with amusement: "You figured it out now?"

Four pairs of eyes met.

moment.

Yang Nianqing's face darkened: Narcissistic!
