Chapter 197: Crisis

At dusk, the red lanterns in front of the dark gate are lit up, and the lively nightlife of North Street begins.

Almost instantly, tactful and melodious, such as the rippling sound of spring silk and bamboo floated all over the street, wine shops, gambling houses, green buildings, one is more lively than the other. North Street is a much more lively place at night than during the day.

Huaixin let out an unconscious grunt in her throat, her brows furrowed, and her consciousness gradually returned. She felt numb in her hands and feet, no strength, headache, nausea, and couldn't move for a while.

She squinted slightly, and saw the faint moonlight mixed with the reddish light of the red lantern, reflected through the window.

This light is not too white to say white, not too red to say red, there is no tenderness of moonlight at all, nor the charm of red lanterns, mixed together indescribably strange......

Consciousness came back little by little, and the pupils gradually gained focus, and Huai Xin saw that this not very pleasant light hit the bed.

The bed is a single bed, only a bed slat, no bed frame, no tent. The bedding on the bed was extremely messy, with sticky liquid attached to it, and the quilt half-hid a woman's body.

The woman was naked, her skin was slightly wrinkled and blue, and the black marks on her neck were obvious, and small pieces of skin were lifted to reveal a dark red and yellow liquid underneath.

It's Huaiyu, it's her sister Huaiyu!

Huai Xin instantly remembered the picture she saw before she fainted, her stomach rolled, and she turned her head and vomited in disgust.

She stared at Huaiyu's body. Huaiyu's eyes were wide open, empty and confused. In her mouth, nose, and ears, it seemed as if something long, soft, like a maggot crawled out of her mouth and ears in the next moment......

The man said that Huaiyu could not be used, and she would be next......

What to do, she doesn't want to die!

Huaixin was disgusted and frightened, struggling to break the rope that bound her hands and feet, but she couldn't break free. The mouth blocked by the cloth ball could not make any sound, and her tears flowed wildly, gradually becoming desperate......

……

The four of Lu Li had already met Liu Zhutou and focused on finding it on North Street.

North Street is the most chaotic street in Xijingcheng. This chaos does not refer to law and order. Although Xijing City is not particularly large, it is very close to Shangjing, the capital of Great Xia, and is one of the secondary cities surrounded by Shangjing and Xiatou, and its strategic position is very important, and it is impossible to be too bad in terms of public security.

Similar to Huajinfang in Jingzhao Mansion, the North Street in Xijing was originally a place where outsiders gathered and mixed, and I don't know how to develop, but it gradually developed into a mixed place. Mixing is not a big problem, anyway, in the city, the government patrols strongly, and under supervision, there will be no particularly big problems. What bothers the group is that there are a lot of people on this North Street, and it is very strict to build indiscriminately!

This means that the houses and houses on North Street have reached a terrifying number, plus the wine shops, gambling houses, green buildings, dark caves, and crowded, like a maze, it is quite difficult to investigate.

The group gathered together and immediately started to act, and it was dark before checking the area. The work and rest here are a bit reversed day and night, and the night is more lively than the day, if it is dark today, the movement everywhere is not small, and it is even more difficult to check.

Shen Wansha was covered in sweat, shaking the fan and not being cool, and glared at Helian Yu angrily, "Aren't you amazing?" Why is there no good news until now! ”

Helian Yu casually shook off the jade bone fan he was carrying and fanned Shen Wansha, "Isn't this that we have to be careful everywhere?" Again...... Hey, my young master, I'm really not familiar with this kind of place. ”

His fan is a circle bigger than Shen Wansha's, the bone is cool jade, and the face is silkworm weaving, so that the skill is shaken, and the cool breeze does not know how much more than Shen Wansha's own.

Shen Wansha narrowed his eyes comfortably, "Hmph, the young master doesn't know you yet!" "But for the sake of his willingness to help, spare him once.

Besides, today's matter is indeed not easy to handle.

Zhao Shu saw it, reached out and wiped the sweat from Lu Li's forehead, "Is it hot?" "He regretted it a little, he should have brought a fan! He knows martial arts, and he doesn't invade the cold and heat, but his daughter-in-law can't!

Lu Li pushed his hand away, "It's okay, it's important to find someone." ”

He squatted down and touched Da Bai's head distressedly, "You're tired...... aren't you?"

Da Bai took the opportunity to lick Lu Li's face and arch his legs with his head. After sprinkling the coquettish, 'Wangwang' shouted at Lu Li, the little appearance was very energetic, and he was not tired at all.

"Then try hard for a while, and go back and cook the stick bones for you." Lu Li scratched the puppy's chin.

"Woohoo!!" Da Bai was so excited that he almost knocked the master down again.

Liu Zhutou's face was solemn, "I'm afraid it won't work if it goes on like this." "The night is getting darker, and they only checked less than a fifth of the long street of North Street, and then there are more and more people, and it is becoming more and more difficult to check, and if there is a slight leak, the murderer will run.

Zhao Zhu also considered this, "Let's separate." ”

"Separated?" Shen Wansha's eyes widened.

"It's good to go your separate ways, with smaller goals and a faster pace." Lu Li looked calm, "But I don't know if the murderer has hole cards, you should be more careful when you find out, and report as soon as you get something." ”

Liu Zhutou nodded, quickly divided the catchers into several teams, assigned areas, said the main points, and then said goodbye to the four people, and the figure quickly disappeared into the dark night.

"Isn't he afraid that we will give the murderer a trust?" Shen Wansha was speechless, this Liu Zhutou couldn't help but believe in them too much.

Lu Li's eyes lit up, he smiled, and pointed to himself, "I'm also from the government." ”

Shen Wansha was stunned, and only after a while did he let out a long 'oh', "Yes, you are a fool." "There's also a fake identity sign!

Lu Li patted Da Bai's head, "Let's go." ”

In this way, after walking for about two quarters of an hour, Da Bai suddenly became very excited, and screamed at the family.

The movement was so loud that it was impossible for the lady in the dark not to hear it, but as soon as she opened the door, she was knocked down by a white ball. The lady was angry, and when she looked closely, it turned out to be a dog, and she was so small that she could still pounce on her!

"Where did the wild dogs come from, they dared to take advantage of the old lady-" His eyes slipped and he saw the four young men standing at the door, some were strong and strong, some were suave, some were handsome, all of them had a good temperament, and they were dragons and phoenixes...... Did you go to the Dark Cave to play?

The lady immediately changed her face, held her hair in a bun, and stood up with a weak willow breeze. She put on a very bewitching posture, with a charming smile, wavy eyes, and asked softly, "How many ...... What kind of girl do you want to play with? ”

This lady changed her face so fast that it was unimaginable, Lu Li had been in ancient times for so long, and she didn't seem to have seen such a bold and straightforward girl, so she was stunned for a while.

Zhao Shu saw Lu Li staring at the woman's snow-white neck, and was very unhappy in his heart, so he came over and grabbed Da Bai and blocked Lu Li, a sharp light flashed in his inky black eyes, "Get out!" ”

The voice was very deep and very imposing, the lady's frightened body trembled, and after shaking it, she looked at Zhao Shu, and then at Lu Li, her eyebrows were slightly raised. turned his head to look at Shen Wansha, and then looked at He Lianyu, who was patiently fanning Shen Wansha, and his romantic eyes were full of tenderness...... Suddenly understood something.

These people are two pairs!

The lady immediately understood that it was impossible for these people to come in to play, and it was impossible to be in this silver, so she slammed the door angrily and closed the door, "This is not the Xiang Mansion!" ”

Shen Wansha scratched his head, this seemed to be the first time he was rejected by a girl? And ...... "We didn't look for the Prime Minister's Mansion again!" It's just inexplicable! ”

Lu Li reacted, and only then did he understand what the Xiang Mansion was, and his face was a little red.

However, it is certainly not an accident that Dabai squatted in front of this house......

He knocked on the door, "Excuse me, girl, we want to go in and have a look—"

"It's all said that it's not a prime minister's mansion! Get out of the way! The lady immediately sprinkled again, "If you play hooligan again, the old lady will sue the official!" North Street is also controlled by the Yamen! ”

Lu Li: ......

Shen Wansha jumped to his feet directly, "Who is playing hooligan!" Obviously, you hooked up with us, and we couldn't be annoyed and ashamed! ”

Helian Yu hugged Shen Wansha helplessly, leaned into his ear and whispered, "It's just a prostitute, what do you have to do with her?" ”

Zhao Zhu also grabbed Lu Li and pointed around, "If you really want to see, there is another way to go." ”

Lu Li nodded and called Da Bai up, "Let's go around this house first." ”

This dark hole is surprisingly large, and there is more than one door. went around in a big circle, walked to the back wall, and found that there was very little movement inside, Lu Li asked Zhao Shu to take advantage of people's inattention, and jumped over the wall with him, only to find that this piece was not a dark cave, it seemed to be a place for others to live.

The four of them circled around and understood.

This secret hole is different from the way Qinglou does business, and it is done by the family itself. In order to facilitate the organization, the ladies simply moved to a small courtyard within the big wall, and pulled the guests to their own homes after receiving them.

The people who live behind this are probably the families of the ladies, or the tenants who rent the yard cheaply because the space is too big to use.

Each yard is a detached family, and it is not quiet to do this kind of business, but it is cheap for everyone to take care of their own affairs.

Dabai suddenly ran up quickly, ran for a while, sniffed, ran for a while, and finally stopped in front of a door, and called in a small voice.

Lu Li knew that this was the place where Dabai had found it. But it jumps around excitedly, but its voice is very small...... It means that the murderer must be inside!

"Zhao Zhu......" Lu Li held Zhao Shu's hand tightly.

"I understand." Zhao Shu rubbed his head and gestured to Helian Yu.

Helian Yu told Shen Wansha not to speak, jumped on the wall with him in his arms, and the cat leaned down to take a closer look at the courtyard, and soon, leaned out and nodded at Zhao Zhu.

Zhao Shu took out the dagger from his sleeve and carefully inserted it into the door latch.

At this time, in the room in the courtyard, a big hand was tightly choking Huaixin's neck, Huaixin's eyes were rolling, and he couldn't do it!
