Second Update.
…
"What's wrong?"
Luo Youheng was puzzled by his daughter's reaction. It seemed strange, but there was a strange light in his eyes.
"Nothing …"
Luo Xi, on the other hand, had a bitter smile on her face as she shook her head helplessly. Then, she squeezed out a smile on her face and immediately greeted Cai Qing who was beside her. The two girls were relatively easy to talk to, so they immediately walked to the side hand in hand to talk.
Of course, he couldn't help but roll his eyes at Qin Fang.
If the Supercilious Eyes could turn into a flying knife, Qin Fang would have been killed by her.
At the same time, Luo Xi's nature made Qin Fang blush with shame. But it could not escape Luo Youheng's eyes, which made the light in his eyes brighter.
Qin Fang was Cai Pingyuan's last disciple, and Luo Youheng was Elder Wu's disciple. Elder Cai and Elder Wu were of the same generation, so they could be regarded as fellow apprentices. So it was not a problem for Luo Youheng to call Qin Fang that way.
But this made Luo Xi very confused.
She was Luo Youheng's daughter, which meant that Qin Fang was her elder. It would be strange if she felt happy!
However, Cai Qing's arrival made Luo Xi slightly surprised. They actually knew each other when they were young. But they had not seen each other for almost 20 years, so they definitely could not recognize each other.
Although they met last night, Luo Xi was not in charge of Cai Qing's notes. She did not even look at it, otherwise she would have recognized her.
At this time, the two girls who had not seen each other for many years got together, talking and laughing. How could they not be happy!
As for Qin Fang, he was directly thrown aside.
"These little girls like to get together. You don't have to join in the fun. Come, please come in!"
Luo Xi's father, Luo Youheng, was very polite. He immediately invited Qin Fang into the Wu's house. Along the way, he introduced some fellow apprentices to Qin Fang.
The relationship between the Wu's and the Cai's was very good. Even the disciples of this generation were close. Although Qin Fang was young, but seeing that Cai Pingyuan brought him along, this showed that he was important. So no one looked down on Qin Fang.
Qin Fang enjoyed the attention of many experts, but at the same time, he also felt great pressure.
Damn, this was something that could not be helped. Almost all of Luo Youheng's fellow apprentices were level 5 experts. Some level 4 experts were not qualified to come to this house.
As for level 6 and above, there were only three. They were Elder Wu's two sons, Wu Ming and Wu Hai, and Senior Chen who went overseas.
The one who welcomed Cai Pingyuan was the Wu's eldest brother Wu.
"Senior Luo, from master and Senior Wu's conversation, Elder Wu …"
After getting familiar with Luo Youheng, Qin Fang asked the many questions in his heart. In fact, he had been thinking about it for a long time.
Cai Pingyuan didn't take anything else along the way. The only thing he took was the brocade box, as if there was something very important in it. Even the cellar wine in the trunk of the car couldn't be compared to it.
…
In Elder Wu's room.
On the old mahogany bed that had existed for god knows how long, an old man with a withered body lay there quietly. There was only a faint breath of life on his body.
His injury was very serious. He was hanging on by one breath, and could not hold on any longer.
Cai Pingyuan stood in front of the bed, looking at his severely injured and unconscious old friend. His eyes were red, and he was sad for his old friend's tragic situation.
Their relationship was cultivated through life and death. When they were young, they went to the battlefield together. They were friends who took knives and bullets for each other.
But unexpectedly, after a few decades, Cai Pingyuan, who was weaker, was still healthy. Instead, it was Wu Mingyuan, who was strong, who became like this.
"What did Elder Ma say?"
After a long silence, Cai Pingyuan wiped his tears gently and looked at Wu Ming beside him.
"The situation is not optimistic … Elder Ma said that if my father is willing to go to the hospital for treatment, he may have a chance to live. At least, he can extend his life by a few years. But …"
Wu Ming's eyes were also red. When he spoke, he could not help but cry. The person lying on the bed was the father he respected the most in his life.
He did not expect that after being domineering all his life, he would end up like this when he was old.
Most importantly, Elder Wu was a very traditional old man. He only believed in what his ancestors passed down. He was not interested in what the West taught him.
Therefore, he would rather live on the mountain and live a plain and simple life. He was rarely willing to go down the mountain. As for Western medicine, he didn't even care about it. Only Elder Ma, a master of traditional Chinese medicine, had come to treat him.
However, Elder Wu was seriously injured. Even with Elder Ma's skills, he was unable to heal him. Most importantly, Elder Wu's skills were too strong. Although Elder Ma was a medical grandmaster, he could barely be considered a master in martial arts. He was unable to sort out the chaotic Internal Breath in Elder Wu's body.
"Have you found out who the murderer is?"
Cai Pingyuan nodded gently. He knew Elder Wu's temper the best. He wanted to help but was powerless to do so. Therefore, he immediately asked about this.
Elder Wu fell to the ground. It was not because he was old and unwell. It was because he was heavily injured.
This was also something that everyone in the Wu Family could not figure out after much thought.
Elder Wu was one of the top experts in the martial arts world. The number of experts who could exchange blows with him could be counted. However, most of them were on par with each other. Perhaps they could barely determine the winner, but it was definitely not enough to injure Elder Wu to this extent.
"This …"
When Wu Ming heard this, his face suddenly became hesitant. He seemed to be hesitating and did not know whether to say it or not.
"What's wrong?"
Cai Pingyuan was slightly stunned. His brows furrowed. He seemed to be puzzled.
There was nothing that the Wu Family could not say to him on this matter, unless there were some areas that were truly suspicious.
"If you have something to say, just say it. Don't hesitate …"
"Yes, Uncle Cai!
There is one person who is suspicious, but … "
Wu Ming's expression was still strange. However, he still lowered his head and said.
"Who?"
At this moment, Cai Pingyuan was also a little angry. He did not wait for Wu Ming to change the topic and asked directly.
"Chen Qingsong!"
Wu Ming smiled bitterly and said a name. It was also the biggest suspect that they had found so far.
"Chen Qingsong?
Isn't he already dead? "
Cai Pingyuan was slightly stunned and asked with a face full of surprise.
Cai Pingyuan was not unfamiliar with this name. It could even be said that he was quite familiar with it.
Qin Fang had just found out that Elder Wu had three Level 6 disciples. Two of them were Elder Wu's sons, and the last one was surnamed Chen. However, Luo Youheng did not tell Qin Fang that this Senior Chen's full name was Chen Qingsong.
Chen Qingsong was Elder Wu's most talented disciple. Even Wu Ming and Wu Hai, Elder Wu's two sons, could not be compared to him. To put it bluntly, these two were already Level 6 experts. However, in reality, they were not even fit to carry Chen Qingsong's shoes.
More than 30 years ago, the orphan Chen Qingsong was taken in by Elder Wu and was made a personal disciple. His talent and aptitude were top-notch. In just over 10 years, his cultivation had already reached the level of a Martial Dao Master. At that time, Chen Qingsong was not even 30 years old.
Even Elder Wu was very surprised by such talent. He even married his own daughter to him because Chen Qingsong was possibly the first genius in the history of the Wu Family Style to break through the limit of a Grandmaster and step into a higher level.
However, what people did not expect was that Chen Qingsong's heart was not right. He had learned powerful martial arts, but he used it to commit crimes. In just one year, there were more than 20 cases of rape and murder of young girls in and around Jiujiang. Among them, there were even two cases of family annihilation. For a time, there was an uproar.
Once, in a very coincidental situation, a disciple of the Wu Family Style accidentally discovered that the murderer was their most respected Senior Chen Qingsong. He told Elder Wu about this matter, and Elder Wu was so angry that he almost vomited blood and died.
After that, Elder Wu personally led a team and invited several experts of Master Level and above to encircle and kill Chen Qingsong. Finally, they killed him on one of the peaks of Mount Lu. His body fell from the cliff, and not even his bones were left …
There were not many people who knew the truth of this matter. They were either old people who had been famous for many years or Elder Wu's trusted disciples. In order to protect Elder Wu's reputation, they only announced to the public that Chen Qingsong had gone overseas to set up his own sect.
That was why the matter was left unsettled. However, Elder Wu still fell seriously ill because of this. It took him three to four years to recover. However, since then, he had been living in the mountains and rarely went out. He even did not participate in grand events like the Martial Arts Society Assembly.
"We also thought it was impossible, but my father was hit by our Wu Family's secret Tiger Head Rush …"
Wu Ming's face was also full of bitterness.
Tiger Head Rush was the most lethal move in the Wu Family's Tiger Form Fist Style. It was also the most essential move. It was extremely difficult to cultivate, and it required the support of an extremely deep Internal Breath. Therefore, only those who had reached Level 6 Master Level could cultivate it.
In other words, in the entire Wu Family, only three people had the opportunity to learn it: Elder Wu, Wu Ming, and Wu Hai.
Putting aside Elder Wu, it was impossible for him to use this move on himself.
Wu Ming and Wu Hai were Elder Wu's biological sons. Wu Ming was the actual person in charge of the Wu Family. After Chen Qingsong's incident, Elder Wu had already relinquished his power. It could be said that the Wu Family's current glory was all because of Elder Wu's prestige and Wu Ming's personal operation. The father and son had no conflict of interest, so Wu Ming could not kill his own father.
As for Wu Hai, it was even more impossible. He was a martial arts fanatic who did not have a high aptitude, but he was crazy about martial arts. His achievements today were all due to his hard work in cultivation. Furthermore, he had just reached Level 6. Tiger Head Rush had just started cultivating. With his aptitude, he would need at least a year to master it. Thus, he could be directly eliminated.
Other than that, the Wu Family could only think of one person as the murderer.
Cai Pingyuan's face was full of surprise. Back then, when Chen Qingsong was surrounded, he was also one of the members. Even he was quite fearful of Chen Qingsong's strength.
Twenty years had passed. His skills had become more profound, but there was no hope for him to break through the bottleneck and step into the ranks of the Grandmaster level.
The problem was Chen Qingsong. If he had not died back then, twenty years would have been enough for him to step into the Grandmaster level from the Grandmaster level, or even higher …
If he had come back for revenge, Elder Wu might not have been his match. That was why he was injured!
"Uncle Cai, I know you have a question in your heart!
We were not too sure ourselves. It was only last night … that we were able to barely confirm it! "
As he spoke, Wu Ming took out a photo and handed it to Cai Pingyuan.
"Hmm?"
Cai Pingyuan glanced at the photo and his expression changed. His eyes were filled with surprise.
"It really is the Tiger Head Rush!"
Looking at the photo, Cai Pingyuan immediately came to a conclusion. He was very familiar with the Tiger Form Fist Style and had fought with Elder Wu countless times. It was impossible for him to be wrong about this unique skill.
"Wait … this car …"
However, after Cai Pingyuan's surprise, he was soon stunned. Looking at the car in the photo, the surprise in his eyes became even more intense.
"Wu Ming, send someone to call my disciple, Qin Fang, over …"
However, he did not say much. Instead, he directly said this to Wu Ming.
Wu Ming was a little confused, but he still did as Cai Pingyuan instructed. It did not take long for Qin Fang to be called over.
"Master, you were looking for me?"
Qin Fang politely cupped his fists to Wu Ming and asked curiously. His voice was very soft, as he did not dare to disturb Elder Wu who was lying on the bed.
He had already heard about Elder Wu's situation from Luo Youheng and felt that it was a pity. However, he did not expect to be called over by his master so quickly.
"Take a look at this photo …"
Cai Pingyuan nodded and immediately handed the photo to Qin Fang.
"Isn't this from last night …"
Qin Fang was slightly stunned. The content of the photo was naturally familiar to him. At least for a short period of time, it would definitely leave a deep impression on him. It was the photo of the two victims from last night. These two people had died so miserably that he could not forget them even if he wanted to.
"I'm sorry, master. I shouldn't have hidden it from you, but …"
Although he didn't quite understand why his master did this, Qin Fang knew that he couldn't hide it anymore. He immediately explained the situation last night in detail, including the fact that he and Cai Qing were taken back to the Municipal Public Security Bureau.
As for why he drove there, he only said that he could not sleep at night, so he drove around to find a place to have some fun. However, he happened to need to pee and there was parking on the road, so he went there to relieve himself. He did not expect such a thing to happen as soon as he returned.
"You didn't see the murderer?"
Cai Pingyuan frowned and immediately asked.
"No!
I don't even know when the police came. When I came back, the place was already surrounded by the police. It seems that Senior Sister Qing was the first to discover it!
But … it's best not to let Senior Sister Qing see this photo again. She was really scared last night … I guess she couldn't sleep at all last night! "
Qin Fang smiled bitterly. He was really wronged. It had nothing to do with him at all. It could be said that he was also one of the victims. Even now, he still felt uncomfortable looking at the front of his Audi.
Looking at the photo again, his stomach began to churn again.
He was already like this, let alone Cai Qing. She had finally calmed down. If she saw this photo again, she might completely collapse.
"Wu Ming, what do you think?"
Cai Pingyuan nodded. He knew that Cai Qing was tough on the outside but soft on the inside. She would definitely be frightened if she encountered such a horrible scene. As for why Cai Qing followed Qin Fang in the middle of the night, there was no need to ask.
"At present, we can only guess that Chen Qingsong is not dead. It was him or his successor who did it …"
Wu Ming shook his head. He didn't know that Cai Pingyuan was also involved in this matter.
However, Cai Pingyuan could definitely be ruled out as a suspect. As for Qin Fang, it was needless to say. Cai Pingyuan had just accepted him as a disciple a few months ago. He hadn't even left Ninghai. How could he come to Jiujiang to murder his father?
The investigation of last night's case was already in his hands. He just didn't know that the owner of the car was Qin Fang, who had come to visit today.
Cai Pingyuan nodded. There wasn't much information available at present, so this was all he could do. He didn't say anything more. Instead, he turned to Qin Fang next to him and said.
"Qin Fang, take a look at Elder Wu and see if there's a way to cure him …"
Qin Fang was slightly stunned, and so was Wu Ming. They didn't understand what Elder Cai meant.
After all, even the medical expert Elder Ma couldn't do anything. Qin Fang was just a young man in his twenties. How could he cure his father? Wu Ming really hoped that this could become a reality.
"Master … Ai, I'll give it a try!"
Qin Fang opened his mouth, wanting to say something. However, in the end, he still nodded hesitantly.
Wu Ming was the same, but he didn't say anything. He vaguely knew that Elder Cai's actions had some deeper meaning. Perhaps this young man, Qin Fang, could really bring him a miracle.
Taking a deep breath, Qin Fang walked to Elder Wu's bedside. Looking at this old man who was so shriveled that there was almost no flesh on his body, it was hard to associate him with a martial arts master who could command the heavens and earth.
However, Qin Fang still reached out and checked his pulse.
"Five Poison Powder!"
However, it would have been better if he didn't check. Instead, it gave Qin Fang a huge fright.
"What?
Five Poison Powder! "
Cai Pingyuan and Wu Ming also exclaimed when they heard these three words. Their expressions changed drastically.
"Qin Fang, are you sure?"
Cai Pingyuan quickly reacted and asked cautiously.
"It should be. However, I still need to check it carefully …"
Qin Fang was also shocked. He'd blurted it out just now because this name had suddenly appeared in his mind. There was no sign of it at all. It was clearly a system notification, so it couldn't be wrong!
