Chapter 631 Traditional Arts

In front of Huai Shi was a corpse.

To be precise, it was a corpse with its neck mostly chopped off. According to Huaishi's experience, the murder weapon should be a knife. The criminal's methods are quite skillful.

Like a butcher, he calmly and skillfully cut off the flexible muscles and hard bones in the simplest way, breaking the deceased's neck in an instant.

The only flaw is that there is still a skin-to-flesh connection, which makes it feel awkward.

But no matter how you look at it, it seems like it was done deliberately.

Not beheading, but... fault-finding?

Huai Shi held the oden skewers in her hand, nibbling one bite at a time, lost in thought. The scene looks more and more familiar the more I look at it, the more I look at it the more I feel like I am seeing it.

Even with his inexperienced trace studies, Huai Shi could imagine how the murderer forced the deceased into the alley step by step, and then brutally ravaged the victim, leaving wounds all over his body. Finally, when despair came, he cut off the opponent's head coldly and skillfully.

Perfect!

Wait, why does it feel like you did it yourself?

This is completely my own traditional program!

Huai Shi was instantly alert.

——Someone wants to harm me!

But soon, he calmed down.

First of all, only a few people knew that I came to Yingzhou in disguise as Motoko Nori. Although Russell has a bad taste, he will not kill other lives just to torture himself. Not to mention Tong Ji, she has a hundred thousand ways to arrange herself, so there is no need to superfluous things.

Among weapons similar to the murder weapon, Huai Shi only has the Yushen Sword Resentment.

Not many people know this: his two students, Mr. Ping, the manager of the alchemy laboratory, and Raymond, who was pulled over by him to test the knife.

They wouldn't talk about this kind of thing everywhere.

So, the biggest suspect...

He turned back and looked at Amber, his eyes becoming serious.

What are you doing, stinky sister?

"not me……"

Amber rolled her eyes and lit up the seven stars at the corner of her mouth: "It's too easy for me to harm you, I just need to lift your skirt in public.

Besides, this kind of murder had already happened before you came, and it has nothing to do with you. "

"Who is that?"

"how could I know."

Kohaku shrugged and glanced outside: "But that guy has been getting more and more aggressive recently... Over there, another street away, is the gate of the Nara City Hall. This is obviously a provocation."

Anyway, just don't involve yourself.

Huaishi finished eating the last meatball, threw the bamboo stick into the tube, and threw it casually into the trash can in the corner. In this way, she finished her supper at the murder scene, and finally took out a wet tissue to wipe her hands and mouth. It was so clean that the corners of Amber's eyes twitched wildly.

Finally, his eyes fell on the head that still contained fear and despair.

"Who is the dead person? He looks familiar."

Huaishi thought about it for a long time, but didn't remember: "An acquaintance?"

"Let's call him one of my cousins. His name is...forget it. You don't bother to remember it anyway. He's dead. You can call him whatever you want. Didn't you have a showdown with his agent last night? Of?"

Huai Shi frowned.

"Fukatsu Kei?"

He finally remembered this unlucky friend. He remembered that he was just sitting on the chair and watching.

"Why is he here?"

"Who knows, the Kitchen Demon has retired, and he has also lost the qualification to compete. He probably gave up on himself and went out to get drunk, right? I heard that there are many places for fun and entertainment nearby - speaking of which, among your colleagues, in order to survive, And when you were working hard, you were sleeping, did you feel ashamed?"

"I'm sorry, not at all. Instead, I happily ate an extra bowl of midnight snack."

Huai Shi retorted without mercy: "Your cheap cousin is dead, shouldn't you be happy? Why are you so serious? Or are you calling me all the way here just to share this happiness with me?"

"That's the problem."

Kohaku sighed faintly: "An hour ago, your former colleague, Sasaki Kiyomasa, a former retainer of the Satomi family, appeared at the scene of the crime."

Huai Shi's movements froze in place, and he slowly turned his head in disbelief.

"What?"

He asked in shock: "Sasaki? Didn't he come to Satomi's house?"

"We had some contact before, and even planned to join my side. But unfortunately, when we were preparing to meet on the day we arrived in Nara, he gave up and disappeared."

Amber sighed: "Although that guy is stupid, ignorant of change, and full of inappropriate and stubborn thoughts, he still values ​​Xinnuo very seriously.

I originally thought something had happened to him and he might be dead, but I didn't expect it to be worse than dead. "

"However, even if this is the case, I don't believe that he will become a murderer... That idiot would rather die than be so embarrassed."

From the mobile phone handed over by Amber, I saw the surveillance video of the intersection at that time.

After a certain pause, the man hurriedly walking into the night was stared at.

There is only one silhouette.

He was still wearing a Yingzhou-style robe, wearing wooden clogs, and carrying an inappropriate long knife...but he wore a funny pink motorcycle helmet on his head, as if he was trying to disguise it, but it became more eye-catching.

Only two frames appeared, but it was enough to identify him.

Because even though he had a helmet on his head, that guy... forgot to disguise his sword. Regardless of whether he has seen it or not, as long as he takes the photo and goes to the weapon craftsman to check it out, his identity will be completely hidden.

It's just too lame.

Huaishi looked at the screenshot, shook his head and sighed: "To be honest, I have never seen a murderer with such a punk style."

Amber was silent for a long time, then glanced at the unconscious Jinling Beheaded King next to him, and finally felt the difference in thickness between the two sides, and sighed to himself.

Huai Shi also didn't believe that Sasaki could be a decapitated murderer.

Just kidding, doesn’t he still know Sasaki’s decapitation technique? Where can it be so good?

Besides, with his temper, if he really wanted to take revenge on society, he would probably have gone to the Luming Pavilion with a bomb wrapped around him. Why would there be any need for this?

But he obviously didn't want to do anything about him, so he couldn't bear it and just walked straight into the murder scene. Moreover, it was such a coincidence that he concealed his whereabouts... no matter how you looked at it, there was a serious suspicion.

"How long have similar cases been appearing?"

"It's been more than half a month."

Kohaku said: "This is also the reason why the Satomi family did not declare Sasaki as the murderer now. He came here a week ago... The time does not match at all, but the suspicion of imitation crime cannot be ruled out."

"It's been this long?" Huai Shi was stunned, "The local inspector in Nara didn't take any action? How much of a waste is this snack?"

Amber asked, "In Dongxia, will the Social Security Bureau hand over the security of Jinling to the Astronomical Society?"

"Fine……"

Huai Shi thought for a long time and asked, "Is the Luming Pavilion in charge now?"

"Lu Ming Pavilion? At the critical moment of selecting the head of the family, they are eager to see the family make a fool of themselves. Everyone is pushing against the wall. At this time, everyone wants to come and step on them. Those guys only come here to wash the floor and pretend to be pretentious after they are done. Except for apologizing, I won’t care about anything.”

Kohaku rolled his eyes: "In order to prevent the reputation of the Satomi family from being damaged, the family elders decided to offer rewards to all candidates for the head of the family. You are almost the last one to know."

"I see."

Huai Shi suddenly said: "Whoever catches that guy will be the head of the family?"

"Haha, what are you thinking about? Will Luming Hall allow it? Those guys don't accomplish much, but it's too easy to cause trouble." Amber sneered twice: "I can only go straight to the final round and see my family there. Choose any border relic from the treasure house."

"That's it?"

Huai Shi curled her lips in disgust: "There should be some limits to lying to country people, right?"

It sounds beautiful to choose any border relic from the Satomi family's treasure house, but in fact, when it is your turn to pick, the good things may have been taken away long ago. You will be given the choice of crooked melons and cracked dates, just like picking. It's like garbage, it's hard to choose which one.

Besides, I don’t like the general border relics Huaishi.

The Sword of Virtue, the Ax of Wrath, the Spear of Compassion, the Divine Sword of Resentment... Not to mention Beelzebub, even the shoulder bag he carries is an artifact.

Moreover, there is a Tong La A Meng at home who responds to every request. Why does he need to care about this?

In comparison, the promise of going straight to the final round is more sincere.

This is especially true for Huai Shi.

He is not a professional chef with a lot of recipes in his stomach. He is just a part-time job. It is okay to steal a chicken occasionally, but he is really a bit weak if he really wants to fight with professionals.

Being able to skip the middle process and jump to the final is undoubtedly a great opportunity for him.

At that time, all you have to do is sit back and wait for the agent of that stinky sister Amber to call, then bow your head and admit defeat, then you can take the money and go home. It is so easy and simple.

"only……"

Huai Shi asked curiously, "Can other candidates agree to such a good thing?"

"Of course, why don't you agree? This is an excellent opportunity to show off your muscles. As long as you can prove your abilities, you can gain more important value. At the same time, it is also an honest opportunity to eliminate competitors..."

Kohaku snorted coldly, "That old man Inujie has figured it out a long time ago and found the right opportunity to start acting up. He is not afraid of being ordered to commit seppuku after the selection of the head of the family is over, which will make the emperor and the general look bad."

Including 'solving serial murder cases' as a condition in the selection of the head of the family completely gives all candidates room to perform on their own.

From this moment on, the struggle situation will spread outward from the scope of the "Kingshu Demon Trial". Maybe it won't be surprising that the last few waves of people will start filming on the streets under the pretext of investigating the murderer.

You said you're not a murderer, so why are you wandering the streets in the middle of the night? That's enough, stop talking and come with me, otherwise you're welcome...

There are almost as many excuses as there are to stir up trouble.

Just thinking about Huaishi makes my teeth hurt.

"No, this matter is too troublesome and is not part of the Kitchen Demon Showdown..."

After he finished picking his feet like a pregnant lady, he slapped his knees and said in a loud voice: "I need more money!"
