The bad news came as expected, and while cleaning up after dinner, suddenly a woman felt that another woman with whom she had a good relationship was missing, and in the midst of shouting, everyone helped to find the shadow on the back of a carriage

The fatal wound to the throat, the wound was as small as ever, and there was a look of horror on the woman's face, which was not blind.

"When she was attacked head-on, she should have seen the person who shot it, so that's how she looked. ”

Ning Yue gritted his teeth and snorted, and the other party made another move, but he didn't notice it at all just now.

"When was the last time you saw her?"

It seemed like she was going to pour out the dirty water from washing the dishes before dinner, so she walked a little farther away. The one who rushed to answer was Sister Aoi, one of the two surviving women during the day, who was a little calmer than the other five women.

With a gloomy face, Ditong said, "From now on, no matter what you do, you must have at least two people acting together. And, tell the third person where you're going and what you're doing. ”

"Understood"

Back in front of the bonfire, when Ning Yue sat down, a hint of brilliance flashed in his eyes. The fatal wound on the woman's throat was similar to the one that had destroyed the caravan before, but it was slightly different. The caravan men's wounds were cut out, and the woman's was a thorn. So, the traces left are more obvious.

The wound was not a flat, slender line, but a little on the inside, and the flesh on the outside turned over, somewhat like a cone-shaped blade thrust.

Catching a glimpse of the moment when people began to gather towards him nearby, Ning Yue lowered his head and suddenly spoke, "When I was still in the Shimen, I heard Shizun say that in some empires in the north of the border of all countries, there is a special kind of stabbing sword, the blade is in a slender column, and it is also a combat method based on stabbing and stabbing, but there is no edge and no edge, and it all depends on the tip of the sword. ”

"Well, you mean, the assailant used this kind of weapon," one of the guards replied casually, scratching his head and nodding repeatedly.

"I've seen that kind of stabbing sword, and think about the wounds of the dead, it should be right. ”

"I mean, go check if everyone here is using this weapon."

Ning Yue drank it up, with a bit of command in his tone, and it spread far away in the relatively lonely night.

In this regard, the guard was puzzled: "However, those two caravans were attacked last night, and we are not here, how is it possible?"

"Perhaps, he's mixed in now. It's time after dinner, and everyone is more scattered and doesn't gather together, so this is the opportunity to go."

"Understood"

The guard hurriedly beckoned, and several people not far away also obeyed the order and scattered away. However, he did not forget the previous instructions of Ditong, at least in pairs, and not alone.

"Lord Ning Yue, do you really think someone has mixed in"

When there was basically no one around, Meng Ye slowly came behind Ning Yue and asked in a soft voice.

Ning Yue smiled slyly and said, "Who knows, be careful, it's always right." By the way, do you have any special features, for example, what is different in some places?

Meng Ye replied: "There doesn't seem to be a different place. I only vaguely remember that in the direction of the woman's death before that, before the accident, I seemed to vaguely see another person walking by, as if his hands had been wiping the root of his skirt. Specifically, the night was too dark, and I was passing by in a hurry and didn't see clearly. ”

"What do you mean, in fact, before the dead woman died, it was likely that one of the other women had contact with anyone" Ning Yue nodded slightly, however, based on this, he still couldn't draw a conclusion. It's too much of a coincidence, and maybe it doesn't match the timing at all.

"This, it should just be a coincidence, right, you should be careful in the future, the opponent in the dark is used to hunting at night, and the danger is greater now than during the day."

Suddenly, his words came to an abrupt end, and a flash of inspiration flashed through his mind. However, it was a little vague, and I just felt as if I had thought of something, but I couldn't really grasp it.

Seeing this, Meng Ye leaned over and asked, "Lord Ning Yue, what's wrong with you?"

"It's nothing, I feel as if I've thought of a very important thing again, it's dangerous during the day, it's dangerous at night, it's only at night, but, what the hell am I thinking" Ning Yue closed his eyes and shook his head, his face embarrassed.

Meng Ye seemed to understand whether he understood or not, and muttered: "As far as I know, many predatory demonic beasts are nocturnal, and even at night, they can clearly detect the location of their prey. During the day, they are mostly sleeping or sluggish, and even if they see it, they don't feel the danger of it. ”

A gleam flashed in his eyes, Ning Yue shook his hand and patted Meng Ye's shoulder, and snorted and laughed: "That's right, that's what you said." There is no smell of danger during the day, only at night. ”

"Well, then" Meng Ye looked puzzled.

Ning Yue lowered his voice and replied: "Then, coupled with what you said before, you saw a woman who had haunted the deceased's location, I think, I probably guessed who did it." This time, the opponent itself is very peculiar, and some deliberately created illusions have confused us. It's a pity that that person was too impatient, so he left a flaw. Moreover, perhaps it is the manifestation of the heavenly way of retribution for good and evil, and there are some subtle coincidences that just remind me. ”

With that, he pointed to the campfire.

Meng Ye looked in the direction, shouted softly, and said, "Oh, Lord Ning Yue was negligent on my part, and he hasn't cleaned it up yet." ”

He hurriedly leaned over and grabbed two fish bones from the campfire. It was a flavored dried fish from the caravan's dry food, which was very fragrant when grilled, and only the slightly larger ones had bones left. The small bones were crispy and chewed and swallowed together.

Ning Yue smiled mysteriously: "No, it's not for you to clean up." If memory serves, you seem to have deliberately said it when you ate it, as if small tastes better, not just without bones. At that time, Dihu also explained to you, remember?"

"It's like saying that this is a local specialty of dried fish, and it uses eel. Eels are special, and when they reach a certain length, they will "

Without waiting for him to finish, Ning Yue raised his hand and signaled to stop.

"In normal times, maybe the answer I came up with was too absurd. But if it is the current situation, it can also be explained. Take a gamble, and hopefully I'm not wrong with my ridiculous and bizarre guess. ”

A quarter of an hour later, on the edge of the camp, a woman came here with a little fear, looked at the figure standing with her back in front of her, and asked in a slightly trembling voice, "Is there something wrong with this lord?"

Ahead, Ning Yue asked slowly: "Xiao Zhen, don't be nervous, I just want to confirm something." What you saw last night, be able to repeat it again."

Xiao Zhen trembled and replied softly: "During the day, Sister Aoi has already said it. Last night the wind was strong, and a piece of clothing was blown away, and she was afraid to go out of the camp alone, so she asked me to come with her. Unexpectedly, when he came back, several of the eldest brother of the guards were killed. So we got frightened, and ran back to a rock where we had been, and hid for the night, knowing that you were coming this morning. ”

Nodding, Ning Yue asked again, "Well, she said it." But there are a few details that I would like to confirm. Did you notice the guards when you left the camp?"

"Seeing a man standing guard from afar, we greeted and did not respond, maybe it was a strong wind, we did not hear. ”

"I didn't hear it when the wind was strong, was it your own thoughts, or did that Sister Aoi say"

"Sister Aoi said, I think it's very likely, plus she kept urging me, so I went in a hurry. ”

"What were the rest of the women doing at that time?"

"Everyone has been scared for too long, tired, and still dissolved in the rest assured, after finishing the work, they all fell asleep, I was woken up by Sister Kui when I was sleeping. ”

"Understood. So, hiding behind the rocks, did you not sleep all night, or did you fall asleep"

"Mmmmmmmmmm What's the matter, my lord, what do these questions mean?"

Ning Yue turned around and smiled, "I don't mean anything special, just ask by the way and see if I can find some clues." Well, you can go back. By the way, call that Aoi sister too. Also, don't tell her yet, what did I ask you? ”

"Understood. ”

Soon after, a taller woman appeared and bowed to Ning Yue.

"Your Excellency, you're looking for me"

However, there was no reply.

Stunned for a moment, Sister Aoi took a few steps closer and asked again: "My lord"

"Well, you're here. ”

Ning Yue's body trembled, and he replied, then raised his hand to press his forehead and shook his head vigorously.

"I'm sorry, I'm so tired and a little sleepy these days, I'm almost asleep when I stand up. ”

"Adults work hard, it's better to take care of your health. Sister Kwai smiled faintly and said, "That, call me, what's the matter?"

Ning Yue patted his head and replied, "Oh, I just wanted to ask about the previous things again, but why did I squint for a while just now, and suddenly forgot what to ask." This brain is a little bit difficult to use. If nothing else, can you wait here for a while, I want to think"

"Whatever the adults say, I'll just do it. ”

"Then sit down first, I'm tired from standing, let me think about it first. ”

With that, Ning Yue sat down cross-legged, his arms around his chest and his head bowed. It didn't take long for a snoring to be heard.

Seeing this, Sister Aoi asked again tentatively: "That, my lord, what's wrong with you?"

After a long time, there was no response.

"It seems that adults are too tired to sleep like this, but it is easy to catch a cold. ”

She shook her head and smiled, sat down against Ning Yue, pressed the other party's shoulder, and easily dragged him, and leaned on her.

As if feeling comfortable, Ning Yue snorted in a daze, and then, the snoring became heavier.

"It is said that you are the strongest, but I didn't expect that you would be tired like this. ”

Sister Kui smiled again, raised her hand and gently stroked Ning Yue's side face, and with a stroke of her fingers, it had already landed on the side of his neck. At that moment, in her eyes, a cold light flashed.

"Well, then, let's sleep forever. ”

The fingertips pierced together, straight to the point, like the tip of a sword

At the same moment, the snoring stopped, and Ning Yue opened his eyes.

At that moment, the stabbing fingertips also stopped, and Sister Kui's two parallel fingers were tightly held by Ning Yue's raised right hand.

"Looks like I was right, and sure enough, it was you"
