Chapter 4 The Murderer

The second policeman cursed and slashed at Jiang Chen's head with a knife.

"You're looking for death—"

Before the policeman could finish the curse words, he was interrupted by a crisp slap in the face.

Jiang Chen leaned forward, his feet suddenly accelerated, and before the sword came to his head, he slapped the policeman hard on the face.

The policeman was whipped so hard that he staggered back a few steps, blood flowing down the corner of his mouth. He couldn't hold the sword firmly in his hand, and it fell to the ground with a clang.

He hurriedly knelt down to pick up the knife. Suddenly, his vision dimmed, and a boot stepped over and stepped on his outstretched palm.

The policeman raised his head and met Jiang Chen's cold eyes. He immediately shivered and sweat broke out on his forehead. He thought that he would have to admit defeat if he encountered a tough opponent this time.

How could this young man be so troubled at such a young age?

The policeman is also a man who knows the truth. His knees weakened and he changed his tone: "Hero, spare your life! Hero, spare your life! I will return the jade pendant to you right now! I was blind and mistaken. I beg you, hero -"

Before he finished speaking, he suddenly felt a chill on the back of his neck. Jiang Chen's palm was already pressed against his neck. He spat out every inch of strength, and his fist power burst out.

The detective clearly heard a crisp "click" sound coming from his neck bones.

His vision suddenly went dark, and he fell to the ground with a "pop" sound.

"I won't bother you, I'll get it myself."

After taking back the jade pendant from the unconscious policeman, Jiang Chen let out a long breath. Only then did he feel that the evil fire in his heart had been vented a lot, and he felt much better.

But it's not over yet.

Now that he had taken the blame, he didn't want to suffer this injustice in vain, so he simply let go of his fists and made a big fuss!

Moreover, he also wanted to confirm whether the female ghost who wanted to marry him was Miss Dongxue.

Jiang Chen has already thought of a way to find out the truth.

He returned the same way and walked straight into Ping'an Inn.

When the shopkeeper saw him, he felt as if he had seen a ghost. His fat body almost jumped up: "Why are you back again? Where are the two poor men?"

"I left something behind. Come back and look for it." Jiang Chen kept talking without stopping.

"You, you can't go..." The shopkeeper stamped his feet anxiously and quickly winked at the boy next to him.

The little boy nodded and followed quickly.

Jiang Chen went straight up the stairs and returned to the room where he stayed last night.

The female corpse was still lying on the floor, with a white cloth covering her body to cover her miserable appearance.

Jiang Chen took a deep breath and said silently in his heart: "Miss Dongxue, you suffered humiliation and died, and I also suffered an unjust injustice. We both share the same hatred. If you have a spirit in heaven, please help me find the real culprit."

Avenge us both!'

It's best to find out the truth, otherwise Miss Dongxue will inevitably suffer from sun exposure...

Jiang Chen closed his eyes and used his magical power - "Trace of the Void".

This is the second magical power that he only recently realized.

Wherever there is cause and effect, it must leave traces.

Jiang Chen wanted to trace the traces left in this space.

In his field of vision, a dark void gradually dispersed into a cloud of smoke-like dust, outlining the outline of a corpse, which gradually overlapped with the female corpse on the floor.

The dust was like ice and snow, dancing all over the sky, emitting a faint silver light. It floated out from the female body, spread outward, and gradually appeared as a series of footprints.

They are the footprints of the female corpse, and also the footprints of the murderer.

Every time I pass by, there are traces.

The murderer thought that as long as he framed Jiang Chen, everything would be safe. But he never thought that Jiang Chen was a god-refining monk with magical powers. He could trace the cause and effect based on these traces and find out the real murderer!

"Pah!" Jiang Chen opened his eyes and snapped his fingers, "That's it!"

The boy's voice came from behind: "What was lost? Did you find it?"

Jiang Chen turned his head and looked at this little guy carefully.

He is around 20 years old, neither tall nor short, neither fat nor thin, dressed in coarse linen clothes, and has a mediocre appearance. He is a small person who cannot be found in the crowd.

It happened that this inconspicuous little person almost caused Jiang Chen to go to jail.

"So it's you?"

The look in Jiang Chen's eyes made the boy wary, and he tightened his grip on the dagger hidden in his sleeve.

"What are you looking at?" A fierce look appeared on the boy's face.

Jiang Chen nodded.

That's right.

——This is the expression a murderer should have.

This confirmed Jiang Chen that there was nothing wrong with his magical powers.

Jiang Chen sighed and asked softly: "Why do you want to kill her?"

The boy was stunned for a moment, with veins popping out on his forehead. He suddenly turned his head and slammed the door tightly.

When he turned around again, he had changed into another sinister and cold face, his expression was slightly distorted, and in the dim light, he looked like a demon.

The young man stared at Jiang Chen with his ferocious and cold eyes, his lips curled up into a strange smile: "What did you just say?"

Jiang Chen met his gaze calmly: "Let me ask you, why did you kill Miss Dongxue?"

The boy's grin widened: "You are obviously the murderer, why do you ask others for their reasons?"

Jiang Chen said calmly: "There are only two of us now, so we might as well be more frank. Your method of framing the blame is not very clever. With a little investigation, you can find many flaws."

The young boy rolled his eyes: "Oh? If there are any flaws, please tell me."

Jiang Chen said: "Miss Dongxue's body was not here originally, right? You took the opportunity of ward rounds this morning to move the body into my room, right?"

The boy's breathing became a little heavy: "What evidence do you have? Why do you say that?"

Jiang Chen said: "It's easy to find evidence. The body was moved from the next room. There must be blood stains in the next room, which have penetrated the floor. No matter how much mopping is done, it can't be completely removed. Just go to the next room and take a look.

, the truth will be revealed.”

The boy's face was half green and half white, and his breathing became heavier and heavier. He suddenly grinned, revealing his white teeth: "You are a foreigner and a murderer. Who else do you think will believe your words?"

Jiang Chen smiled slightly: "It doesn't matter what I say, the key is the evidence. The evidence is in the next room, you can't deny it."

A ferocious smile appeared on the corner of the boy's mouth: "Then let me tell you, you will never have the chance to go to the next room in your life."

He took out the dagger from his sleeve and stepped forward step by step.

Jiang Chen frowned and said, "You want to kill people and silence them?"

The young man bared his teeth and grinned ferociously: "What do you mean by murder and silence? It was you, the murderer, who wanted to destroy the body and eliminate traces of it, but I caught him on the spot and executed him on the spot!"

Jiang Chen looked at the violent look in his eyes and nodded clearly: "Killing one is also killing, and killing two is also killing. Now that we have started, the rest will fall into place."

"You are an outsider. I don't know how many people disappear every day in Xiliao City. No one will redress your injustice. You just die here and keep Miss Dongxue company!"

The boy showed his fierce look and stabbed Jiang Chen hard in the chest with a dagger.

With quick eyes and quick hands, Jiang Chen turned sideways to dodge the dagger. At the same time, his right arm flattened out, like a big spear thrust out. He drove straight in, with great force and heavy force, and hit the young man's shoulder hard.

The boy was immediately thrown out and hit the wall with a loud bang.

But his body was very strong. After being punched hard, he could still get up and reach out to wipe the blood from his face.
