Chapter VII: Street Patrol Guards

As a guard who patrolled the streets on the first day, Yang Zhuoyi thought very simply. But as the son of an old guard who has been patrolling the streets for more than ten years, he can better understand that reality and ideals are completely different things.

Since he was a child, he was closed by his father and forced to practice martial arts and swordsmanship. Although he was a little less happy than his peers, he developed a calm and cautious mind.

He came to take over his father's position, not for anything else, but to avenge his innocent death.

Yang Zhuoyi's father has been patrolling the streets of Pingcheng for more than ten years, and he has always been diligent and diligent. Although because of his upright personality, his popularity is not very good, but he is not the kind of person who is a traitor. It is precisely because of his upright personality that his father is also cautious and cautious, and he has his own sense of what to say and what to do, so he has come over safely for more than ten years.

But not long ago, my father was accidentally killed, and the reason is unknown. He went to inquire about the City Lord's Mansion and the Shouwei's Mansion, but there was no trace, which made him feel more and more that there was a lot of hidden secrets inside.

After walking many streets, Yang Zhuoyi retracted his chaotic thoughts, and looked at the guard surnamed Zhang who came out with him to patrol the street, he knew that this guard Zhang was an old guard who had been a few years old, and he had a good relationship with his father, and he used to go to his house to drink. This time he was able to successfully take over his father's position, and this Zhang Weishi contributed a lot, so no matter what, in front of this senior, he couldn't help but listen to the admonition.

"Uncle Zhang, is my father's incident really an accident?"

"How many times have I told you, it was just an accident, haven't you been to the Captain's Mansion, and you have also seen it. Well, people can't be resurrected after death, and now you have also become a street patrol guard, so you will do a good job in the future. Also, you can remember for me, do your part well, and be less nosy..."The guard surnamed Zhang said with a gentle face, and taught Yang Zhuoyi his experience with the unique posture of the elders.

"Ahh

Suddenly, a terrible scream disturbed their boring stroll in the streets.

According to the direction, it was a block across the street from them, and there was a cluster of houses.

When the guard heard this, he was shocked, and hurriedly ran there with Yang Zhuoyi, and when they arrived panting, there was a circle of people who came to watch the excitement. The murder is a big deal, and there are already a lot of pedestrians around, not to mention that it is a residential area, so there are even more people who run out to watch.

"Let it go, the official family will do things, and the idle people will avoid it......" The guard surnamed Zhang was also shocked when he saw such a big scene, but it was not easy to disperse the crowd of onlookers, so he had to take Yang Zhuoyi and squeeze in while shouting loudly.

I finally squeezed in, and I saw a small house with a courtyard, and the courtyard door was hidden at this time, and there was a deathly silence inside. I really don't know how the shocking shout just now came out of here, and what terrifying things happened inside?

As soon as he arrived at the gate of the courtyard, a pungent bloody aura permeated the door, rushing straight to his head, almost smoking Yang Zhuoyi backwards, but because of his identity, he had no choice but to follow Zhang Weishi and go inside. When you enter the courtyard, you can first see that the ground is covered with blood, and four corpses are lying here and there. Although it is impossible to tell which people they are wearing from their clothes, judging from the shocking wounds on their bodies and the posture of falling to the ground, they must have experienced desperate fighting before they died.

Zhang Weishi looked around the courtyard, frowned, hurriedly pulled out his waist knife, held it tightly in his hand, and cautiously approached a side room inside.

Yang Zhuoyi couldn't help but get nervous when he saw him as if he was facing a great enemy, and he also took out the waist knives that the guards used when they patrolled the streets, and was careful to be on guard, for fear that someone would suddenly rush out. Although he is superior in martial arts and swordsmanship, he has never really fought against the enemy, which inevitably makes him nervous.

I saw that the door of the wing room was broken, and the window paper was also stained bright red with blood, and the bloody atmosphere inside was also the strongest. When they entered the room, they were startled by the scene inside and broke out in a cold sweat.

Looking at the furnishings inside, it should be a woman's boudoir. Everything from the original has been smashed into a mess, and the original shape can no longer be seen, and there are blood stains everywhere on the ground, and there are more than outside, and they are all fresh, as if they have just flowed out of the blood vessels, scarlet and sticky, plus the hot weather, people can't help but feel numb when they smell it.

I saw that in the house, on the only bed that was still intact, between the green veil tent, there was a naked female corpse, looking at her beautiful face, there was a little charm between her eyebrows, she must have been a great beauty before her death. At this moment, she was lying on her back on the bed with her legs wide open, in a lying position that would make any man excited to see it, her face was flushed, and it was obvious that she was having a good time with people at that time, and she was in a hearty mood.

But at this time, her eyes were round, and the horror and resentment in her eyes were intertwined, as if to show that she must have experienced some extremely tragic things before she died.

What killed her was excessive blood loss, a thin and narrow wound, between the high bulging breasts on her chest, scarlet blood, still flowing from the inside out, meandering, flowing wantonly on her fair skin, making her exquisite, concave and beautiful corpse, even more fragrant and weird.

Yang Zhuoyi looked away from the female corpse with difficulty, looked at Zhang Weishi, and found that his throat was surging, his eyes were shining, and he looked directly at the female corpse, obviously fascinated.

It's no wonder that he is like this, he is at the right age of blood and strength, where have he ever seen such a scene. Although Yang Zhuoyi has never seen it, he still has a sense of shame, he is a small martial artist, his concentration is too ordinary, and he is young and has not gone through personnel. But Zhang Weishi is different, due to poverty, the monthly salary from the errand is also pitiful, except for food and drink, there is not much left, and he is basically still struggling on the food and clothing line. is a big age, and he is still alone, who among the girls will look down on him as a poor ghost.

"Ahem" Yang Zhuoyi saw that he was like a ghost, so he coughed a few times dryly, reminding him that he was out of character.

Zhang Weishi came back to his senses and was a little embarrassed. But because of his face, he couldn't lose face in front of his juniors, so he said reservedly: "Presumably the murderer hasn't run far yet, I'll chase after him, and call some brothers to come over by the way...... You just stay here, and strictly prevent idle people from waiting to come in and wreak havoc......" After speaking, he didn't care about Yang Zhuoyi, and walked straight out.

On the first day of Yang Zhuoyi's inspection on the street, he encountered this kind of homicide case, and he was also flustered and had no opinion, so he had to listen to Zhang Weishi's arrangement. Perhaps out of sympathy, he picked up a piece of clothing from the ground and placed it over the woman's body.

He just wanted to take a closer look at the side room to see if he could find some clues, but there was a commotion at the entrance of the courtyard.

"We found out first, why is it your turn to intervene in Xicheng District..."

When he came out, he saw Zhang Weishi entangled with a group of people.

"Hmph, what can you do as far as you Nancheng waste, what do you want to do, what Lao Tzu wants to take care of, it's your turn to talk more..."

Yang Zhuoyi was shocked when he saw that he was dressed like their chief guard, listening to what Guard Zhang said just now, the other party should be the chief guard of the Xicheng Guard's Mansion, Li Zhi.

The city is divided into four districts, each of which has a warden's mansion in charge of its own neighborhood. Because the rich and poor residents of each neighborhood are different, which also leads to different incomes of street patrol guards, there are often conflicts between the guards in the four urban districts, and they often handle cross-border affairs for some interests, and there are also precedents of fighting with each other.

Yang Zhuoyi saw that there were many people on the other side, and there were only two people on his side, so if he really wanted to make trouble, he was afraid that it would be difficult to resist.

"Anyway, this is also the boundary of Nancheng, Brother Li, you took the brothers from Xicheng and ran over to do something, why didn't you notify you?"

Just when he was worried, outside the circle, a middle-aged man was talking and walked over.

As soon as Guard Zhang saw that it was the chief guard of the Nancheng Guard's Mansion, he hurriedly pulled Yang Zhuoyi forward to salute, bowed down and said, "Lord Tian, the two of us heard someone shouting just now, so we immediately rushed over and found that there were five ...... inside."

"Alright..."Before he could finish speaking, he was stopped by Captain Tian Wei.

"Brother Tian, it's strange, on such a hot day, I don't drink tea in the house, and I still run out to work hard" Li Zhi from Xicheng yawned and smiled.

"How can Brother Li work hard, this neighborhood in Nancheng is far less rich than Xicheng, don't you make a good job in Xicheng, what are you doing when you come over and work hard?"

"What did Brother Tian say, we are all guards of Guanping City, why do we know so clearly! I won't tell you, someone just ran to our Xicheng Shouwei's Mansion to report the case, saying that there was a murder here, and the Shouwei also knew, otherwise I wouldn't have come here under such a big sun..."

"That's really strange, I don't know who went to report the case?"

"There's no need to worry about Brother Tian, what's the matter for your brother Tian Shouwei to find our Lord Li...... There is no room for sloppiness in the case of human homicide, brothers follow me in..."Li Zhi looked at the crowd around him, a little impatient, and after dropping a sentence viciously, he took his guards and walked into the courtyard.

"Hmph..."Chief Tian Weichang was also very annoyed when he saw that the other party didn't give face at all, but he couldn't help it, so he snorted coldly, pushed aside the crowd and walked out.

Yang Zhuoyi saw that the two chiefs were here, so how dare he talk too much as his subordinates, so he had to follow with Zhang Weishi.

"Which courtyard is which one?" he saw that Captain Tian ignored them and left, so he asked Guard Zhang.

"That woman is the famous merry widow in Nancheng, Widow Liu. It seems that her lover bought it for her... There were a lot of people who used to be good with her, but recently it seems that she has been in full swing with the owner of Black Wind Village..."

Yang Zhuoyi didn't know much about the things in the streets and alleys that Zhang Weishi said, and he was not interested in inquiring, the murder he thought about was too strange, and there were too many doubts.

"Don't you think it's strange? As soon as the murder happened, the people from their west city came running over and said that someone had reported the crime, but the distance and time were not so fast! Could it be that it was prepared in advance..."

Before Yang Zhuoyi could continue, Zhang Weishi hurriedly stopped him, saw that there was no one left and right, and whispered: "Don't be nosy, don't talk nonsense if you don't say anything, you don't see Lord Tian helpless, don't worry about it." Our captain is not as good as the captain of Xicheng, and he is a hard backer. So don't be nosy, or something will happen, but no one will speak for us..."

After Yang Zhuoyi heard this, his brows tightened, but his heart couldn't calm down for a long time. Although his status is low, he has to look at other people's faces when he speaks and does things, but he is young and vigorous, how can he live in peace, otherwise how can he avenge his father.

So, he secretly decided to go on patrol quietly, hoping to find out the murderer and find out the truth about the murder. Because he vaguely felt that his father's accidental death, like this murder, involved the guards of Xicheng, and maybe it had something to do with the guards of Xicheng District, but he didn't know what it was for the time being.
