Chapter 9: The Dark Alley
In the alley behind the green building, a black shadow flashed, lurking in the corner, he carefully estimated the distance from the back door of the green building to a certain house, and kept recalling in his mind, how far he had walked that night, in that drunken haze, he felt that he had walked twenty to thirty zhang, but he was blank about the environment, where was there anything in the alley, it was impossible to think of it at all, because he was very drunk at the time, and the alley was so dim, except for vaguely remembering how far he had walked, he had no impression of anything elseใ
The city was in a turbulent situation again, a large number of soldiers guarded the various street entrances tightly, and the periphery of the Prime Minister's Mansion was heavy and heavy, and there were busy soldiers in and out. The gates of Jincheng were closed urgently, and the temporary martial law blockade prevented anyone from entering or leaving, and there were groups of patrol soldiers, government servants, and fast catchers on the streets at any time, all of whom searched for criminals all over the city with eagle-like eyes.
Long Wushuang hid in the dark corner of the alley, looking up at the doors, from left to right, from right to left, but he really couldn't remember which room he entered that night.
Most of the rooms in this small alley are rented to those women in the green building, and the alley is almost empty at this time, because the girls are busy in the green building, he observed for a while, thought for a while, and slowly walked out of the dark corner, and arrived in front of one of the doors, touching the door and repeatedly recalling and calculating, which one did he enter that night?
But after walking three doors in a row, he still couldn't be sure, and each door was locked, and he vaguely recalled that night, the woman helped herself, stumbled to a door, and did not open the lock, but directly pushed it open, and entered the dark room, never lit the lamp, and even what the room was like, he didn't know anything, the only thing he knew was that he walked more than ten steps from the door to the bed, and the bed was very soft.
He is even more sure that the gang has already designed a trap for himself, usually when the women leave the house, how can there be no lock door, but at that time there was no lock door, the woman pushed lightly, the door opened, this point he still remembers clearly, they have already designed everything, pulled themselves into the trap, killed people and framed themselves, and ruined their own family.
Thinking of this, he thought of Fei Lianlian again, remembered her desperate heart-rending howl, and suddenly felt a pain in his heart, what was he doing, why did he suddenly become so shameless.
After a trace of guilt flashed, he gritted his teeth again, cheered for himself, how could he not revenge the revenge of destroying the door, he should have killed her whole family, but he left her and her maid's life, and he was already very kind to her, yes, he has nothing to be sorry for her, this stinky woman also bought the prison to kill herself, she deserved to die, she was kind enough to spare her life, she should be grateful to herself.
The more he thought about it, the more evil it became, and the more he thought about it, the more he thought that Fei Lianlian should be grateful for his grace of not killing, and in his body, the magic bead felt the change in his heart and secretly cheered.
His hand touched the cold copper lock, and he was pondering, when there was a sudden sound of footsteps at the mouth of the alley, and then Lu Zhutou's voice sounded: "Everyone find their own positions to hide, and the murderer is very likely to come to seek revenge." โ
He was awakened, it was too late to hide, and those people also had to find a place to hide, it was very likely that they would collide together, he decisively unscrewed the copper lock, quickly dodged into the room, closed the door, leaned on the door and listened to the movement outside.
The footsteps outside were getting closer, and he looked out through the crack in the door, and vaguely saw seven or eight figures, each looking for a place to hide, what corner, what pyre, where to hide, all of which were used.
Someone said: "Boss, I heard that he can suck blood, and he has become a devil, are we a little less?" โ
Lu Zhutou: "Nonsense, hide it quickly." โ
As Lu Zhutou hid, the outside fell into silence, and all that could be heard was the singing and laughter of the Qinglou, the sound of strings and pipes, and Long Wushuang fell into contemplation again. It seems that the whole city is already searching for him, not to mention how he will get out of here, if the four major city gates are closed and strictly investigated, how can he escape from the city?
Both sides stood still, he leaned against the door and thought for a long time, he had just experienced the great change in his home, crazy killing, physically and mentally exhausted, sleepy, his eyelids were fighting, he simply sat down, leaned his back against the door, and fell asleep.
The night gradually deepened, most of the guests of the Qinglou went to the heart's content, and some girls went home in twos and threes, and walked through the dim alley from time to time, opened their doors, and lit the lamps, making the alley brighter than before.
Long Wushuang was awakened, because a woman was talking outside the door, and the girl said in shock: "Oh, why was my lock twisted?"
She lowered her head and picked up the twisted copper lock from the ground, instinctively took a few steps back, looked at her door, and was scared in her heart: "Lele, Lele, come on, my family seems to have been robbed." โ
"Lele?" Long Wushuang heard her call Lele behind the door, and his heart jumped suddenly, the four women Yu Zijian found that night, it seems that one of them is called Lele, who is specially designed to play the piano for everyone.
A girl next door answered, opened the door and came over, it should be Lele, she went to look at the door, there was indeed no lock, so she boldly pushed it, and the door opened, and the room was black and empty, and she couldn't see anything: "Wait, I'll go get a lamp." โ
Outside the door, the two girls left, went to the next door to get the lamp, in the room, Long Wushuang hesitated, whether to rush out, with his own magic, the seven or eight people from the yamen outside couldn't stop him, but he really wanted to know the truth too much, he wanted to find the woman who accompanied him to bed that night, maybe only by finding her, can he find the truth, don't go, you must find out the truth, he took advantage of the fact that the other party hadn't taken the lamp, and quietly touched the bottom of the bed in the darkness and hid.
The two girls took the lamp, they were a little scared, they supported each other, and walked towards the door, at this moment, Lu Zhutou came out, he said: "Two girls, I am Yamen Lu Zhutou, what happened?"
When the two girls saw the people from the yamen, they immediately felt much safer, and one girl said: "Lu Zhutou, my lock has been twisted open, I'm afraid there is a thief." โ
Lu Zhutou took the copper lock and looked at it: "Don't be afraid, give me the lamp, I'll go in and take a look." โ
He took the lamp from the hand of the girl named Lele, and walked into the room with it, and immediately lit up the whole room, but the room was empty, and by the door was a table, in front of which were two chairs, and a closet was five feet behind the table, and between the cabinet and the corner was a shelf, on which were placed several wooden basins, and at the top of a three-foot beam, and towels and the like.
After Lu Zhutou saw the environment clearly, he turned his gaze to the curtain ten steps away, behind the curtain should be the bed, he slowly stepped forward, lifted the curtain, a four-foot-wide, six-foot-long bed appeared in front of him, the bed was neat and tidy, the quilt, pillow was intact, the sheets were flat, no one had moved, the bed was tightly against the wall, and there was no extra place inside.
His gaze swept over every part of the bedside and foot, and found nothing, and then looked at the sheets, the red sheets hung down so long that they completely covered the bottom of the bed, except for a pair of delicate shoes of a woman with blue embroidery half exposed.
Lu Zhutou squatted down, stretched out his hand and lifted the sheets, Long Wushuang couldn't hide it anymore, he took advantage of the fact that he had just lifted the sheets, and before he could see clearly, he slapped "Huh" and knocked out his lamp, and the room immediately fell into darkness.
Lu Zhutou was startled, instinctively jumped up, flew back, and the two girls at the door vaguely saw someone rushing out from under the bed, frightened, screaming loudly, and hurriedly turned around and fled.
The whole alley was alarmed, everyone opened the door to see the situation, and those hidden officials rushed out and hurried to reinforce Lu Zhutou.
No matter how fast Lu Zhutou retreated, it couldn't be as fast as Long Wushuang, he pounced out like a ghost, grabbed Lu Zhutou's neck, and his eyes were cold: "Let your people retreat, otherwise, there will be no mercy." โ
Lu Zhu's head and face were blue and purple, his neck was pinched, where could he speak, he looked at Long Wushuang, he didn't struggle, but he was horrified in his heart, when he went to Long's house to arrest Long Wushuang before, where did he have a little bit of martial arts, could it be that this kid pretended to be a pig and ate a tiger, what kind of secret did he have?
Those officials had already rushed to the door, and Long Wushuang shouted: "Get out of the way, or I'll strangle him." โ
Seven or eight officials had to stand still, and when they saw Long Wushuang's face clearly, they couldn't help but tremble in their hearts, and the boss was in the hands of others, and no one dared to move.
Long Wushuang pushed Lu Zhu's head towards the door, those officials retreated in small steps, everyone was rumoring that he would suck blood, afraid that he would be reincarnated by the devil, everyone was terrified, where did they have the courage to arrest him, I just hoped that his subordinates would be merciful.
He pushed Lu Zhutou out of the door, looked left and right, and at this time it had alarmed many people, in addition to the officials, there were also many women in the Qinglou, all of whom stood tremblingly and looked at the situation from afar.
He stood in the middle of the alley with Lu Zhutou's neck, glanced at the catchers and girls, and said: "Lu Zhutou, I think you are not bad, I don't want to kill you, but there are two situations, you will definitely die, the first situation is that your subordinates are trying to attack me, and the second situation is that the girl named Lele, you come out, if you don't come out, I will kill Lu Zhutou." โ
The girl named Lele was hiding far away, but in fact she had already recognized him, and when she heard him call him out by name, she was so frightened that she was almost soft, leaning against the corner of the wall, and was trembling.
A servant hurriedly turned his head to look at the girls: "Which one is Lele, come out to save our boss." โ
The girls unconsciously looked at Lele, and a servant stepped forward to give a salute: "Miss Lele......"
Lele trembled: "Don't ......"
Long Wushuang pushed Lu Zhutou towards Lele's direction: "Miss Lele, I will only take you to ask some questions, if you cooperate, I will not hurt you." โ
Lele watched him walk in gradually, his mind was blank, and his trembling voice was crying: "Don't ......"
But Long Wushuang pushed Lu Zhutou and gradually got closer, standing three feet away from her, he pushed Lu Zhutou away, quickly grabbed Lele, and choked her neck: "Whoever dares to chase, Lele will become a corpse", after speaking, he picked up Lele, turned around and galloped away.
