About an hour and a half later, at nightfall, a black-clothed masked man broke the latch from outside the door, sneaked into Nanying's room, and walked to Nanying's bed in the dark to attack him, Nanying grabbed the sword in his hand and beckoned him with the scabbard.

"Who?" Nanying snorted.

"The second prince doesn't know what's next, so why bother asking. The black-clothed masked man said in a dumb voice.

"He sent you. I really can't even give me a moment of leisure. Nanying suddenly became angry, and showed no mercy to the black-clothed masked man, and in an instant, the two of them had passed more than ten moves.

Because of the murder that had just happened at night, the singer didn't dare to sleep alone, so Chu Xue came to the singer's room to accompany her, and when she heard the movement in the Nanying room next door, Chu Xue hurriedly woke up the singer:

"Be careful yourself, I'll go out and have a look. ”

"Be careful, too. ”

When Chu Xue walked into the courtyard, Nan Ying and the black-clad masked man were fighting in the room, and when Chu Xue saw this scene, he became involved in the fight between the two. Seeing that Nanying was so vigilant, and the sound of the two of them fighting had already alarmed the others, the black-clothed masked man suddenly had the idea of retreating, and approached the door of the room in a hurry, and in a hurry, his right shoulder was injured by Nanying with internal force, so he grabbed the door and escaped.

"Yuan Gongzi, you're not injured, are you?" Chu Xue looked at Nanying, who was also the nominal Yuan Yingnan, and asked.

"I'm fine. Thank you, girl, for your help. ”

Nanying's voice fell, and even the city's chief catcher Zhang Er also hurried over from the lobby of the restaurant.

"What's going on?" Zhang Er asked.

"There was a man in black who assassinated Yuan Gongzi and just escaped. Chu Xue said.

"Do you want me to take someone after me?"

"Forget it, he ran away. Nanying didn't want his identity to be made public, and it was nothing new to chase and assassinate for many years, so he didn't take this attack to heart.

"I don't know if that person just now was the murderer who killed Miss Ruoyi. ”

"Tonight is a dark and windy night again. I had a feeling as if something else was going to happen. Nanying looked at the night sky and muttered to herself.

The black-clothed masked man who plotted against the southern shadow followed the south side of the inner wall of the south side of the west courtyard, and when he went around to the north side of the inner wall of the north side, he was attacked by another black-clothed masked man waiting here, because his right shoulder was injured, he was quite difficult to deal with, not only did he not care about whether the person in front of him knew the whole process of walking out of the door and plotting against the southern shadow before he was ambushed here, and he was afraid that even a life would be lost for a long time, so he took a few steps back to the northwest corner of the inner wall of the west courtyard, and snorted in pain for a while. It was this muffled snort that revealed that the black-clad masked man was Ding Fu, who lived in the north wing of the first courtyard, so it was no wonder that he was bent on escaping back to his room along the north wall (separated by one wall, and the inner wall was facing the windows of each room).

When Ding Fu was in a dilemma, he found that there was also a man in black on the west side of the west inner wall behind him, and his heart was even colder: he originally wanted to exchange the life of the second prince for wealth and glory, but now he wanted to lose his life. However, contrary to what Ding Fu thought, after the man in black behind him heard his voice, he did not attack with the masked man in black who attacked him, but on the contrary, he fought with him and saved him by fighting with him in a few moves.

At this time, the shouts of Ji Dart Master came from within the inner wall:

"Come on, come on, Lao Jia was killed, and the dart was stolen!"

The black-clothed man who rescued Ding Fu heard the sound, dragged Ding Fu and jumped out of the outer wall on the west side, and when the black-clothed masked man who sneaked up on Ding Fu saw this, he was hesitant about whether to catch up, Xin Pupu just followed the sound of the fight and fought with him.

The man in black and Ding Fu ran all the way to the outside of the north wall, and separated before they had time to talk in a hurry, the man in black climbed over the outer wall and the inner wall one after another, and returned to the second courtyard on the west side, while Ding Fu ran east for a while, and also climbed over the two walls into the courtyard, and the two slipped back to their respective rooms to change their outfits.

The two fights between the black-clothed man who rescued Ding Fu and the black-clothed masked man who attacked Ding Fu, and the black-clothed masked man who attacked Ding Fu and Xin Pupu, took place on an inner wall separated from Qu Hanyan's room.

"What is this?" Chan'er sat up and faintly heard the sound of fighting outside the west wall, so she looked at Qu Hanyan.

Xin Pupu chased him out and got into a fight. Qu Hanyan stretched his waist and sighed lazily, "I want to sleep again tonight." ”

Xin Pupu's martial arts were already very good, and he mistook the black-clothed masked man in front of him as a thief and murderer, so he inevitably hit a little heavier, and the black-clothed masked man completely fell behind for a while. Xin Pupu took advantage of the situation to wave his palm and attack the chest of the black-clothed masked man, but because of the unintentional physical touch, he realized that the other party was a woman, and the black-clothed masked man had taken the opportunity to escape.

Because another person was attacked, the dart was stolen, and one person was killed, before dawn, everyone in the west courtyard of Liufeng Building gathered in the lobby again.

"You should know that Jia Dart Master was just found dead next to the dart box, leaving four vertical blood stains, and the goods in the dart box have disappeared. In addition, before this, Yuan Yingnan was also secretly attacked in the guest room. These two events happened tightly and almost at the same time, and Yuan Gongzi, Chuxue Girl, and Song Girl, who were with me at the time, were able to rule out suspicion. Now that everyone is gathered here, my guards will go from room to room for murder weapons and stolen goods, and I will inquire about the situation at the time of the crime. Zhang Yi said to everyone, and with a wave of his hand, the guards entered the west courtyard to search.

"Dare to ask Mr. Zhang, is it also a sword fatal to kill Jia Dart Master this time?" Wei Guang said.

"The wound has not been found. Zhang Er shook his head and said, "It doesn't seem to be poisoning, nor is it suffocation, we tentatively speculate that he may have been caught in a hidden weapon in an undetectable place, and he is carefully inspecting." ”

"The modus operandi is different, is it possible that the murderers are two people?"

What Mr. Wei meant was that after the killing, the thief deliberately left the same four blood stains as before in order to confuse his vision and blame others. ”

"I think it's also possible that the murderer didn't care about using his sword in a panic, and used a hidden weapon instead. Ji Dart Master took over the conversation and said.

"At the time of the incident, you should have guarded the dart with Master Jia, and what happened at that time, you should explain it in detail in front of everyone. Zhang Er looked at Ji Dart Master and said.

"Every night, Lao Jia and I, and Brother Jing are guarding the darts in shifts, and the theft of the goods in the dart box and the killing of Lao Jia occurred during the period when Brother Jing went back to the room to rest, and Lao Jia and I guarded the darts. Lao Jia had two shifts of guards in a row, a little sleepy, and began to doze off, and I just slept for a while before coming to take over, and I have been more energetic, but I just fell asleep somehow. When I woke up, I saw that the dart box was empty, and Lao Jia fell to the ground, so I went to tell him that he couldn't wake up, and I tried to snort only to find that he was dead. I think the murderer came to steal the dart while the two of us were asleep, but I didn't expect to wake up Lao Jia, maybe he broke his identity, and in a panic, he used something like a hidden weapon to kill him. ”

"It stands to reason that you should be in a better spirit than Master Jia, why do you sleep more than him, and don't know anything about the movements of the person who steals the dart?"

"I also think this is very strange, I usually sleep very lightly, I wonder if I have been caught in the (separator) incense, but I didn't find any traces around the area. ”

"If you fall into the incense of the (separator), you will not be the only one who will fall asleep, but Master Jia will not be affected. Unless someone with extremely high martial arts has clicked on your sleeping point in the air, and he is confident that he will not alarm Master Jia, but he did not click on his acupoint. Zhang Yi said, his eyes moved to Xin Pupu, and asked, "The second bureau master of Xin once tracked the murderer to the courtyard outside the inner wall, what do you think of his martial arts?"

"Although her martial arts skills are not as good as mine, they are much higher than Lao Jia and Lao Ji, but if you want to do it, I'm afraid there is still a gap. I didn't think much of it at the time, and I was determined that she was the one who killed the darts. But now that I think about it, I chased after me when I heard the fight, which means that she had fought with the others before I arrived, so it is difficult to determine who she and the other people are the thieves and who are the murderers. ”

"The other person may be the assassin of Yuan Gongzi, who met the thieves on the way to escape and fought without distinguishing between friend and foe. The singer said.

"It's also possible that the person who stole the dart ran away first, and the person who fought with Xin Gongzi was the one who attacked Yuan Gongzi, Yuan Gongzi injured his right shoulder at that time, I don't know ...... Xin Gongzi" Chu Xue said, handing Xin Pupu a questioning look.

"I didn't think she had a right shoulder injury when I fought her. When Xin Pupu said this, he suddenly thought of something, picked up Zhang Er's knife on the table next to him, and shouted, "Offended." ”

As Xin Pupu spoke, he had already struck Wei Guangqian, Qu Hanyan, Chan'er, Hua Siniang, Qi Ying, and Ding Fu's right shoulder one by one with the knife scabbard in his right hand. The strength of Xin Pupu was controlled just right, and the uninjured person would not be too painful to receive this blow, but the injured person could not help this blow, and Ding Fu's subconscious moaning revealed the fact that his right shoulder was injured.

"It turns out that Master Ding is the murderer. Hua Siniang glanced at Ding Fu calmly.

"No, Ding's injury was injured by a masked man in black. Ding Fu lied.

"If that's the case, why didn't you say it earlier?" Qu Hanyan asked.

"I couldn't sleep at night, so I walked around the yard, but I didn't expect to meet a masked man in black, and without saying a word, he injured me. I think if I say it, then I will be suspicious when I walk alone in the courtyard late at night. ”

"When was that?" Zhang Er asked.

"About half an hour before the incident. At that time, I was walking in the yard and thinking about the murder of Miss Ruoyi. Do you think that the killing of Miss Ruoyi could have something to do with the robbery?"

"What do you mean by that?"

"Yesterday afternoon, I was interested in the dart goods of the Zhaoxu Dart Bureau, so I opened the dart box to borrow, and found an anonymously written dart robbery letter in the dart box. ”

"Is this really the case?" Zhang Er's gaze swept over the three of Zhaoxu's dart bureau.

"Yes, I was surprised when I saw the robbery letter, so I ran to the lobby to inform Childe. Chu Jingxin said as he looked at Xin Pupu.

"None of the dart boxes were opened, and no one approached them, so we were surprised when they were put in. Ji Dart Master also said.

"In my opinion, maybe the one who killed Jia Dart Master was Ji Dart Master. Ding Fu repeated his old tricks and began to shift the focus of everyone's suspicions.

"What did you say?" Ji Dart Master glared at Ding Fudao.

"After discovering the robbery letter, you and Jia Dart Master had a quarrel over which of the two was negligent in their duties, can you deny it?"

"What can two sentences of quarrel say, who can get along with each other day and night without a little friction. You old guy always spews blood. ”

"Don't talk about you, the second game master of Xin also has a problem. Ding Fu smiled, narrowed his eyes and looked at Xin Pupu again.

"Hugh is talking nonsense. Chu Jingxin said in a stop.

"It doesn't matter. Xin Pupu raised his hand to stop Chu Jingxin and Ji Dart Master from talking further, and looked at Ding Fudao with a calm face, "What does Master Ding have to say?"

"Ding has studied gold, silver and jade jewelry, and according to my years of experience, the goods in the dart box are worthless fakes. I think the process of inspecting the goods when receiving the dart should be completed by the master of the second bureau of Xin, I don't know how the master of the second bureau explains this?"

"The goods have been stolen, and there is no way to verify what Master Ding said. Xin Pupu was noncommittal.

At this time, the guards came back from the West Courtyard, and one of them looked at Zhang Er and said:

"We searched every guest room, and we didn't find anything that was suspected to be a murder weapon, nor did we see anything as described by the dart masters. ”

"Really...... Okay, let's put aside the topic of the dart team's cargo for a moment, and let me ask you what you were doing at the time of the crime?"

"I walked around the yard and thought for a while, then went back to my room and went to sleep. Ding Fu replied first.

"I passed out or fell asleep, but I didn't see what happened. Ji Dart Master replied.

"Childe and I were resting in the room. Chu Jingxin said next.

"We were also resting in the room, and I was awakened by the shouts of Ji Dart, so I came out first to see the situation, and when I walked into the courtyard, I met Brother Chu, and Yue'er also left the room a moment later than me. Qu Hanyan and Chu Jingxin glanced at each other as he spoke, and Chu Jingxin immediately nodded to confirm his words.

"Boss Qi's room is also in the courtyard of Erjin, did you also walk out of the door when you heard the voice?" asked Zhang Er.

"I was sad about Ruoyi's death, and I couldn't sleep when I tossed and turned, so I lit incense to help me sleep, but I didn't hear the noise outside, and I didn't know what happened when the first snow came to knock on the door. Qi Ying said.

"Madame, have you heard any movement?" Zhang Er looked at Hua Siniang and said.

"I was reciting the mantra for my husband, and when I was halfway through the recitation, I suddenly heard the sound of a fight in the south chamber, but soon regained my calm, so I continued to recite it without stopping. Later, when the singer came knocking on the door, I had just finished reading, and we came to the lobby together. ”

"Madame hasn't slept all night?"

"He's gone from me, alone, always unaccustomed. My routine has long been disrupted. ”

"Yes, Madame has been resting in her room almost all the time during the day, and she hasn't even eaten lunch. The singer chimed in.

"When I arrived outside the door of Yuan Gongzi's room, the black-clothed masked man had just escaped from the south wall, and the lights and candles in the north room were immediately lit up, and then they went out again, so Mr. Wei was probably woken up at that time, right?" Zhang Er looked at Wei Guangqian beside him and asked.

"I wanted to push the door open and come out to have a look, but as Mrs. Fang Cai Siniang said, it was not long before calm returned outside, and I lay down on the bed again, until something happened again. ”

"For a while, it is impossible to determine who the thief and murderer are, but in the case of Yuan Gongzi's attack, except for the possibility that the injured person is no longer in Liufeng Tower, Ding Fu is the most suspect. The two of you are responsible for keeping an eye on Ding Fu, so that he does not contact other people without authorization, and the others should go back to their rooms first, and if there is a place where the case needs to be discussed, I will ask him separately. After Zhang Er finished instructing the two of the guards and the people in the West Courtyard, he looked at Qi Ying and said, "Boss Qi, before the two murders are investigated, the restaurant will suspend business first." ”

"Yes, I understand. Qi Ying replied.

They yawned and went to their rooms. When Chan'er and Qu Hanyan walked to the door of Chan'er's room in the south wing of the courtyard, Chan'er looked at Qu Hanyan and said:

"It's almost dawn, and I should be fine when I go back to my room. ”

"Hmm. ”

"Then I'm in. ”

"Wait. Qu Hanyan stopped Chan'er as before.

"What's there?"

"Bring breakfast to my room in a moment. ”

"Yes, young master. Chan'er turned around and muttered again, "I really owe you in my last life." ”

Behind Chan'er, Qu Hanyan chuckled before leaving.
