Chapter Nine Clues

  "No footprints, no damage to the doors and windows, not even a hint of evidence inside the warehouse..." Bai Yutang looked at Zhan Zhao with furrowed brows, his face also somewhat shocked and unsightly, and said.

  "The Shangfang treasure sword seems to have vanished into thin air, the thief must be a master of lightness kung fu!" Bai Yutang said in a low and mysterious tone.

  Zhan Zhao took a deep breath, looked at the ground again, furrowed his brow, as if there was an unsolved puzzle. He looked at the guard who had been lying dead on the ground and said, "The thief obviously killed someone with their bare hands, yet they didn't leave any footprints behind. Could it be that this person is a flying killer?"

  "Indeed, his lightness skill has reached the pinnacle! Brother Bai's analysis is correct!" Zhan Zhao exclaimed with a sigh.

  Lu Fang and the others were stunned, but Nan Xiaozhao didn't show any signs of panic. Was he so traumatized by losing his treasured sword that he had become numb?

  Zhan Zhao walked up to the two guards who had been dead for a long time, examined them carefully, and felt a surge of nausea in his heart, but he still forced himself to hold it back and continued to examine them.

  "Two of them were stabbed in the chest and heart with a sharp object, bleeding to death. The other one was pierced alive with a sharp object, causing his brain to burst due to excessive pressure!"

  "The skull is one of the hardest parts of the human body, yet it was pierced through by someone, what a great force this thief has!" Zhan Zhao said slowly, but his heart was not calm.

  Because, judging from the wound on the first person's body, it seems to have been inflicted by a weapon that can cause massive bleeding in a short period of time. Looking at the wound, it is actually triangular in shape, which clearly indicates that it was caused by a triangular dagger!

  In my past life, I had memories of the triangular stab knife. The triangular stab knife has a diamond-shaped blade that is grayish-white in color and does not reflect light, making it stealthy. It has three blood grooves, allowing for quick bleeding. Once inserted into human skin, the wound is difficult to heal, even if it's not stabbed in a vital area, it can still cause massive blood loss and shock!

  The key is that these three-edged dagger wounds were a type of weapon that only appeared during the Yue War in my previous life. The Yue War made the enemy tremble with fear, so how can I see the wounds caused by the three-edged dagger today in the Song Dynasty?!

  Was it already in existence during the Song Dynasty?

  "There's another point!" Zhan Zhao said quietly, "The thief who stole the sword might be two people!"

  Lu Fang and others stared at Zhan Zhao in surprise!

  "Kitty, what's going on!?" Bai Yutang asked directly.

  Zhan Zhao smiled and said, "The person who was stabbed in the chest had a wound with some tearing marks that were slightly slanted upwards to the left. The wound on the temple of the other person, however, was slanted downwards to the right. Although it's not very obvious, at first glance, both wounds look like deep holes without much difference. But if you take a closer look, you can still tell them apart."

  Zhan Zhao walked up to the guard who had been stabbed in the chest and pointed at the wound, saying, "This one can be confirmed as being stabbed with a left hand, but the other one should be right-handed, and the force was full. However, the previous one's strength and degree were not weak either, obviously accustomed to using his left hand. Generally, people who use weapons rarely practice with both hands, so I suspect there are two people, one is left-handed, and the other uses his right hand!"

  Bai Yutang chuckled and said, "Meow, it seems you've learned a lot of things in Kaifeng Prefecture!"

  Zhan Zhao smiled slightly, what's this about Kaifeng Prefecture, this is obviously the criminology I studied in my past life!

  Jiang Ping's goose feather fan gently patted Bai Yutang and said, "Fifth brother don't interrupt, Zhang brothers, if someone can use both hands at the same time? For us martial artists, both hands seem to make no big difference!"

  "Old habits!" Zhan Zhao smiled, "If someone uses their left hand to attack, then when they want to kill another person, they will definitely choose the habitual action to make a move!"

  "And there's another point that can be confirmed!" Zhan Zhao looked around and said, "These two people are not far apart, but they are also two or three meters away from each other. If it was one person who did it, then when killing one person, they would definitely go to kill the other person again. In that case, the murder weapon must have been pulled out of the body of the first person killed. Since it was pulled out, naturally, the killer would choose a habitual action, and the wound marks on the two dead people should be the same!"

  "If this person was caught in the middle of two people, both left and right hands attacking at the same time is possible. However, if they were caught in between two people, there must be some traces left behind! Zhan Zhao furrowed his brow and said, "But in this warehouse, there are no signs or footprints left behind, which means it was definitely two people who attacked, not one!"

  Lu Fang and others nodded, saying, "Zhan brother's analysis is very reasonable. Indeed, it's no wonder that after staying with Bao Daren for a period of time, the ability to analyze cases is much stronger than ours!"

  Zhan Zhao smiled and didn't say a word. Come on, it's obviously forensic science, why push everything onto Bao Heizi?

  "Ah, Brother Lu!" Zhan Zhao suddenly cupped his hands and said, "This matter requires Brother Lu's help. Please investigate on the rivers and lakes to see how many left-handed people there are, and eliminate them one by one. If it's said that they're all brothers from the rivers and lakes, with decent martial arts skills, but one is left-handed and the other uses his right hand, then please pay extra attention!"

  Lu Fang nodded his hand and said, "We are all brothers in the family, so we should do our best to help each other. Moreover, the loss of the Shangfang treasure sword was also caused by the fifth brother. If the fifth brother had not brought the Shangfang treasure sword from Kaifeng Prefecture, how could it have been lost?" As he spoke, Lu Fang gave a white glance at Yu Tang.

  Bai Yutang shrank his head and didn't say a word!

  Zhan Zhao smiled lightly, "This matter can't be blamed on Bai Wuxia either. Accidents happen unexpectedly, it's not Bai Wuxia's fault, that's right!"

  Zhan Zhao suddenly drew out the giant void sword and carved out a three-pronged dagger shape on the ground, saying, "Gentlemen, have you ever seen such a weapon?"

  The wounds on the corpse's body were clearly the work of a triangular blade, perhaps Lu Fang and others had seen this type of weapon before! If they had seen it, then the scope could be narrowed down!

  "Blood Slaughter Blade!" Lu Fang and the others looked at each other, and Bai Yutang suddenly spoke up, "This is the Blood Slaughter Blade, it's the weapon of Xue Tufu, Xiang Pu and Xiang Tong!"

  Zhan Zhao was taken aback, not expecting to find a clue so easily. Just as he was about to speak, Bai Yutang's eyes flashed with inspiration and he said, "Xiang Pu and Xiang Tong are brothers, and they use this kind of weapon. Moreover, one of them is left-handed and the other is right-handed!"

  "Could it be that this was done by those two?!" White Jade Hall's eyes sparkled with inspiration as he spoke.

  "Kitty, how did you know about this weapon!?" Bai Yutang asked again.

  Zhan Zhao smiled and said, "From the corpse's body, it can be inferred that the wounds on the corpse are irregular triangular prism-shaped. Moreover, the person who was stabbed in the chest had almost no blood left in his body. If such a weapon were to pierce the human body, it would be very suitable for bloodletting. So, Zhan guessed and tried to draw out what this weapon looked like. Unexpectedly, there really is such a weapon!"

  Zhan Zhao sighed secretly in his heart, clicking his tongue, these ancient people's brains were too bright, the weapons that later generations took a thousand years to study and develop, unexpectedly appeared in this Northern Song Dynasty, the ancients should not be underestimated!

  "Cat, you're indeed good at deduction and analysis. In this aspect, I, Wu Ye, admit defeat!" Bai Yutang snorted with laughter and said, "Putting everything together, it can be inferred that the murder weapon is the Blood Butcher Blade, and what's more, it was wielded by a master of lightness kung fu. The brothers Pu and Tong, also known as the Blood Butchers, have impressive martial arts skills and are exceptionally skilled in lightness kung fu, making them top-notch killers in the Jianghu."

  "It seems that it must have been Pu and Tong, the two brothers, who stole the Shangfang treasure sword!"

  (Hey... Item Pu, Item Tong, in short, ordinary, in plain words, running errands...)
