Chapter 345 The Vanishing Thief

Ximen Changhong rushed into the Hall of Famous Artifacts in a hurry, knelt down and asked, "You two uncles, what happened? Why do you all...?"

One of the old men said weakly: "It's okay, we still have breath. There are more than one enemy, they come and go without a trace, and their martial arts are very high. They broke into the Hall of Famous Weapons not only to steal the magic weapon, but also In order to provoke our Mingqi Villa, you must catch this group of thieves!"

After saying this, the old man seemed to have exhausted all his strength and immediately passed out.And the other old man opened his mouth to speak, but he didn't say a word, and also passed out.

"Is this all right?" Ximen Changhong stared angrily.

Doctor Zhuangshang hurriedly explained: "The two elders have serious internal injuries, and they need at least half a year of training. Coupled with the fact that they are too old, their martial arts will definitely not be as good as before after recovery. At least the two elders do not have any worries about their lives. This is a blessing among misfortunes."

Ximen Changhong waved his hands helplessly: "Take the second elder back and give him a good treatment. I will deal with the matter here!"

As soon as the two old men lifted them down, a menacing white-haired old man rushed into the hall.

"Changhong, what happened?"

When Ximen Changhong saw this person, he would be respectful and respectful: "To my father, a thief broke into the Hall of Famous Weapons, injured two uncles, and stole more than a dozen weapons. Fortunately, the thief did not open the secret room in the hall. The sharp weapon of the magic weapon has not been stolen."

The white-haired old man scolded angrily: "This is a good thing? No one has broken into the Hall of Famous Weapons for many years, wounded the masters of the Villa and stole weapons. This is a provocation to our Famous Weapons Villa. You must find the murderer before dawn, otherwise Let me accept the affairs of the villa!"

After scolding him, the white-haired old man walked away angrily, leaving everyone with shocked faces.

Bu Feng laughed and said, "I never thought that the old owner would still be so resolute."

Ximen Changhong shrugged: "He is still so frizzy at the age of ninety. Fortunately, I have been in charge of the affairs of the villa these past few years, otherwise he would not have the time to enjoy the happiness!"

Some people present did not know the old owner, including Chen Feng.After some introduction by Ximen Changhong, it turns out that the old owner is Ximen Changhong's father, named Ximen Song.

Ximen Song was also excellent in martial arts when he was young, but in his dying years, no matter who he is, his martial arts will decline as before. After all, not everyone can be like the ancestor of the Wudang School.

"I'm sorry everyone, if you want to go back to rest, just go, I still have to investigate the murderer, so I won't accompany you." Ximen Changhong apologized.

Bu Feng said: "Brother Ximen, if the enemy can seriously injure the two seniors in Zhuangshang, it must be due to their strong martial arts. We, Mingjiao, will definitely help with all our strength!"

Ximen Changhong cupped his fists together: "Then thank you all!"

Everyone searched in the Hall of Famous Artifacts, but found no clues.As for the secret room in the palace mentioned by Ximen Changhong, no one has seen it. After all, many people present are outsiders. The secret room is the secret of Famous Equipment Villa, and Ximen Changhong will never show it casually.

Just as everyone was searching around, a burly figure entered the hall.

"To the owner of the villa, a large number of experts have been dispatched to guard the mountain gate. Others searched everywhere in the village, but no one broke through the mountain gate, and there is no sign of any Tibetans in the village!"

Ximen Changhong said: "Shankui has worked hard, let me introduce you first..."

The big man who came in was named Ximen Shankui, the first guard of Mingqi Villa.Ximen's surname was bestowed by the villa. His father had served Mingqi Villa for generations. His father was a master blacksmith, and he showed his talent in martial arts since he was a child. He was taught martial arts by Ximen's family as an exception. Now his strength is only weaker than that of Ximen Changhong.

Ximen Changhong regards him as a brother, and Shankui is also devoted to the villa, he can be called a model of master and servant!

Ximen Shankui scratched his head: "Villa Master, we have searched all over the villa, and there is no trace of the thief at all, and no one has left the villa. Where did the thief hide?"

Ximen Changhong also felt dizzy for a while, rubbing his head and thinking, but couldn't think of a reason.

Chen Feng took the initiative to ask: "Master Ximen, can you tell the whole story? We only know that the Artifact Hall was broken into, but we don't know the specific cause and effect."

Ximen Changhong patted his forehead: "I was negligent, the thing is like this..."

When the people in the villa knew that the Hall of Famous Artifacts had been stolen, it happened that the guards of the Hall of Famous Artifacts were changing shifts.But when the people who were going to change shifts arrived at the Hall of Famous Instruments, they found out that the guards outside were dead, and the masters inside were also seriously injured. Then they started arresting the thieves with great fanfare, and then woke up Chen Feng and others.

"In this way, the time when the incident occurred is different from the time when it was discovered. This interval may have allowed the culprit to escape."

Ximen Shankui shook his head firmly: "Impossible, if the thief escapes, the brothers guarding the mountain gate will definitely find out."

"Didn't you not notice the thief broke into the villa?" Chen Feng asked suspiciously.

Ximen Changhong sighed again: "Ah... I didn't make it clear. Our Famous Equipment Villa welcomes and sends many guests, most of them come for the purpose of forging weapons, and they usually stay in the villa until the weapons are forged. Leave again. But no matter who the guests are, the villa will register. There are more than a dozen guests in the villa at the moment, besides all of you present. I sent someone to check before, and found that a group of six people disappeared , They just moved into the villa a day ago, so they must have committed the crime!"

"What are the names of these people?" Bu Feng asked curiously.

Ximen Changhong said: "Originally the villa would keep the identity information of these guests confidential, but now it is almost certain that those six people are thieves, so I have nothing to hide. The names of these six people are Guan Shengxiong, Hua Guang, Dai Ying , Duan Da, Shi Yue, and Bai Tu are registered in Leizhou Prefecture, Guangdong Province. Our villa uses money from others to build weapons for others, and we usually don’t check their identities. After all, no one can cause trouble in the village. , but I didn't expect this time..."

Everyone whispered to each other, and shook their heads after looking at each other for the last time.

"The names of these six people have never been heard before. If they are really thieves, they must not be unknown people. They probably used fake names!" Bu Feng speculated.

Ximen Changhong shook his head helplessly: "It doesn't matter whether you use a pseudonym or not, the key is that you can't find them now, unless they jumped off a cliff!"

Ximen Shankui said: "No matter how good the culprit's kung fu is or how good his lightness kung fu is, if he goes down a straight cliff, his body will surely be smashed to pieces. What's more, I just went down the cliff to search, and there is no trace of the culprit, nor any ropes or anything like that. It is impossible for a thief to go down the cliff!"

The progress of the matter seemed to have come to a standstill, Chen Feng asked curiously: "Is there any place on the village that hasn't been searched yet?"

Ximen Shankui shook his head solemnly: "No, I haven't missed any corners, but I didn't find the thief."

"Then what about the Hall of Famous Artifacts?" Chen Feng said something.

Ximen Changhong realized it immediately, but he still shook his head: "Although the secret room in the palace has not been explored, it is impossible for the enemy to know how to enter the secret room. So there is absolutely no Tibetan in the secret room!"

"Then the second elder has seen the enemy leave?" Chen Feng asked again.

Ximen Changhong looked embarrassed: "The consciousness of the second elder seems to have been blurred for a short time, so I can't remember clearly. But..."

"But the owner of Ximen is too confident in the mechanism of the secret room!" Chen Feng said without hesitation, "We can avoid it first, just in case, it is better for the owner of Ximen to go into the secret room to investigate!"

Ximen Changhong nodded, agreeing.

Chen Feng, Zheng He, the Zhao family, and the masters of the Ming Cult all left the Hall of Famous Artifacts. Ximen Shankui closed the gate of the Hall of Famous Artifacts. Because the door lock was broken, Ximen Shankui personally watched from outside. everyone.

It's not that he doesn't trust everyone, it's just that he attaches so much importance to the treasured magic weapons in the secret room that he is so nervous to open a secret room.

Everyone waited patiently outside, and after a few breaths, Ximen Changhong's scream came from inside the hall...
