Chapter Thirty-Seven: Chasing the Murderer in the Night
At night, the pavilions in the palace are scattered and elegant.
The lights in the room were bright and quiet, and the eldest prince was lying in his room, especially seriously carrying out the tasks assigned by the prince Chen, who came to visit privately during the day.
"Young Master, the rumors of killing demons among the people are indeed true, a murderer in the prison has escaped, and this matter does not have a good impact on the Jiucheng Prison that has just established its reputation."
Chao Changge put down his pen and stretched lazily, "Forget it, Uncle Li, you are worried about the wrong person, believe me, as long as you are against Su Le, the perpetrator is definitely more worth worrying about, no, just mourn for it!" β
Thinking of the words of King Chen in the day, Chao Changge looked interested.
He knew that King Chen would not let go of Su Le's strange flower, so he curiously asked Mu Chen where he would place Su Le and how to use it, but Mu Chen replied to him with a strange word he had never heard of: "Random."
"Any fixed location will not be suitable for Su Le." A few hours ago, Lord Chen stood in this room, looking at Ting Ju outside the window, his eyes were full of certainty, "This king just took a fancy to her randomness, and acted seemingly recklessly, but he had enough strength to achieve his goal and retreat." She is not crazy or reckless, no matter what kind of existence her opponent is, she always responds to the changes of the party with her immutability, and its power lies in her combination of sharpness and flexibility. The king thought that if some extraordinary things were given to her, she would be able to surprise the king. β
So, in the gambling house, something extraordinary happened-
The maid in her arms looked weak, "Kill, kill!" β
Su Le's face froze, and there was no need for this woman to say that she also smelled the smell of blood that was spreading.
"Yes, it's a, a masked man in prison uniformβ"
"Zheng Ji?!" Su Le exclaimed.
Before the woman finished speaking, Su Le had already pushed her away and rushed into the house, took a few big strides, and jumped out of the window.
She couldn't be wrong about the corner of the prison clothes that had just flashed through the window.
The woman lost Su Le's support, fell to the side, and completely fainted.
Lord Chen raised his eyes and glanced at the window that Su Le chased out, and stepped into the room.
The body was beheaded.
The knife marks are neat and the technique is neat.
It is conceivable that the deceased may have been taken without even reacting to it.
The room was unwell lit, and there was no sign of any damage to the furnishings, and in the middle of the table lay a horse crane that had not been touched much, and the headless body of the slain was lying on it, and the blood from the wounds flowed down the table, and splashed down the edge of the table, and soon dripped to the ground.
Mu Chen's gaze swept over the corpse from top to bottom, pausing on the bronze fish talisman on the man's waist. Is it a court official?
Wailang, a member of the Ministry of Labor.
Mu Chen couldn't help frowning, there were no engineering matters in Yunzhou recently, this member of the Ministry of Engineering didn't honestly stay in the capital and sit in the yamen, and what did he do in Jiucheng for no reason? And he hasn't even been informed yet.
Once an official sneaks into the prince's territory far from Kyoto, and then is killed in a gambling house, this death-seeking behavior is really weird enough.
Gently looking away, Chen Wang Ye raised his hand shallowly, and the two secret guards fell into the room in an instant,
"Seal this place at once, and no one will be allowed to approach until the king returns, and no one will be informed of the government. Immediately find this king a civilian clothes suitable for night activities, and in addition, go and investigate the source of the rumor of killing demons and escaping from prison. β
ββOutside the windowββ
The murderer was extraordinary, and Su Le was not familiar with ancient martial arts, so he had to use all his strengths and chase after him all the way. Even so, he was gradually thrown away a large distance, and if it weren't for the fact that the head held by the murderer kept dripping blood, Su Le would have lost it several times.
Blood kept dripping, and the corners of the prison uniform gradually became red.
The distance is getting bigger and bigger, and in the dark night of the legend that the moon is dark and the wind is high, the man in prison clothes in front of him gradually disappeared from the field of vision, and Su Le could only follow the bloodstains.
Finally, they stopped outside a bamboo forest.
The night wind blew violently, with a strong fragrance of bamboo leaves, slightly covering a little blood, but the sassy and cold sound was even more sinister.
Feeling cold to his fingertips, Su Le calmed down and gasped, and looked at the man in prison clothes standing alone in the clearing in front of the forest in disbelief, Zheng Ji.
A plain white and desolate linen prison robe exuded coldness, and the head was lying on the ground at his feet, no longer dripping blood at the moment. In front of him, there was another person lying down, and the blood in the wind continued to thicken to tell Su Le that it was already a corpse.
Su Le was full of suspicion, and was about to step forward, but suddenly a hand reached out from behind him, covering her mouth and nose, and the other arm wrapped around her upper body, the force was terrifying, and he dragged her back directly!
