The next day, the homicide in the alley was full of turmoil. Early in the morning, officers and soldiers gathered outside the inn. The shopkeeper scratched his head for some reason, stepped forward stubbornly, and said, "Official, I don't know what happened?" ”
"Do you have a few young men and women living here?" The man who took the lead looked to be in his forties, with a mustache and a pair of small eyes that were bright and shiny.
"Hey, some of them, we lived here last night, and we lived in two rooms on the second floor by the stairs......" Xiao Er accompanied by a smile.
There are not many tourists in Songyang County on weekdays, and only a few regulars often wander here and several other towns to do some small business.
"Come on, escort those people out for me!" As soon as the order was given, a group of guards poured into the inn.
The little second thief looked inside, and smiled again: "I don't know what happened?" ”
"Someone died! Someone reported that these people were sneaky yesterday, and they even knocked the woman who came to report the crime unconscious. Now they are still in the court, just waiting to arrest these thieves and confront them! ”
There has never been such a big case in Songyang County.
The trivial things on weekdays have made this Cai Zhutou very boring, but now that there is finally a big case, his whole person is as radiant!
When the county lord heard that there had been a murder, he had already sent someone to check it out, and the scene was so tragic that it was unbearable!
What's even more terrifying is that this murder happened in more than one place! It's three!
In one night, there are three families! Thirteen people from three families died!
This is unprecedented for this secluded town.
The county lord has already repaired a book, and ordered someone to go to the capital quickly, if it is not as he expected, such a bad case occurs, the capital is likely to send someone over.
At that time, if he does a good job and gets praise from the official from Beijing, then the future is really limitless!
After more than ten years of fast hunting, he is finally looking forward to the opportunity to get ahead this time.
Thinking about it like this, Cai Zhutou's face became more and more radiant.
It's as if he has solved the case now and is about to be promoted.
The people in purple had already been woken up by the chaotic sound outside the door, and as soon as they opened and pushed the door open, a bright knife slashed over.
Ziyi subconsciously dodged, frowned at the group of guards wearing official uniforms outside the door, and said, "What's the matter?" ”
The group of guards didn't answer, they reached out and were about to take off the purple clothes, the purple clothes frowned, their small hands grabbed the guard's outstretched arm, and as soon as they used their backhand, the guards screamed and half-knelt on the ground, and their arms were clamped behind them by the purple clothes.
"What's going on!"
Cai Zhutou heard the voice of the guards upstairs downstairs, shouted angrily, and took the lead into the inn.
Although Duanmu Kaoru was injured in the arm, it was more than enough to deal with these guards, but in the blink of an eye, the two of them beat more than a dozen guards to the ground and couldn't move.
As soon as Cai Zhutou went upstairs, he saw everyone lying on the ground from the staircase to the door of the purple room, or covering their arms, or covering their knees and moaning [harmony], and their faces couldn't help but turn blue.
In front of everyone, the purple clothes were still wearing big hats, and the white cotton yarn hanging from the brim of the hat blocked the small face that was only slightly swollen. Duanmu Kaoru changed into a white dress at this time because his clothes were torn last night, and the silver mask covered half of his face.
"You are—" Cai Zhutou looked at Duanmu Xun's dress a little familiar, but for a while he couldn't remember where he had seen it.
If he couldn't think of it, he simply stopped thinking about it, and this Cai Zhutou pulled out the long knife on his waist and shouted: "You two Diao Min! Hurry up and get caught! Otherwise—"
Then, before Cai Zhutou's words were finished, he was slapped on the face by the suddenly opened window.
Mo Tong stood in the window, looked at the purple clothes, and then looked at someone lying under his window, with a faint smile on his lips: "I'm sorry, I didn't mean to." ”
That being said, the tone was slightly raised, clearly saying, "I did it on purpose." ”
Cai Zhu's eyes were bright for a while, and he staggered a few times and didn't get up from the ground.
And the people around the inn had already avoided Ziyi and Duanmu Kaoru when they were with the guards, and they didn't dare to take a step forward at this time.
The guards who fell to the ground finally got up, and two of them endured the pain and stepped forward to help Cai Zhutou up.
Cai Zhutou stepped on the void footsteps, his two eyes widened, his eyes turned around and brought them together in the middle, and said, "You-you bastards-bastards!" Come—Someone! Give it to me, take it, take it! And - and - - hex! One person--just-just-become-two-two! ”
"Headcatcher!" The guard called Cai Zhutou with some hesitation, and then looked at Duanmu Xun and Ziyi who were standing in the distance, and said softly: "Catcher, I see that man, it seems that he is a wanted criminal in the imperial court, Nie Wushuang, the palace master of Wuhua Palace." ”
After being reminded by the guards on the side, this Cai Zhutou immediately came to his senses, stood up, and looked Duanmu Kaoru up and down again, until he saw his silver mask that shone with cold light.
Sure enough, the person in front of him is the most wanted criminal in the imperial court who is still posted on the imperial list of the city wall!
I heard that this man is ruthless and has killed countless people.
Cai Zhutou looked back at the people behind him, and the guards were all hiding far away.
Having just suffered hardship, no one dared to take another step.
And Mo Tong was still standing in the room, yawning boredly, and with a "bang", the window was closed.
Since the two people outside can solve it, then he doesn't bother to care anymore.
Looking at An Ning, who was still sleeping soundly in the corner of the bed, Mo Tong sat at the table and poured himself a cup of tea.
However, this Cai Zhutou obviously didn't want to return the ink pupils so lightly.
He raised his eyes to look at Ziyi, then at Duanmu Kaoru, and finally at the window that Mo Tong had closed.
He can't afford to mess with the first two people, and the man in this room-
It looks like Wenwen is weak.
He's going to have to find a way to catch one and go back to the errand!
After paying attention, Cai Zhutou looked back at the guards behind him and shouted: "Rush in for me and arrest the prisoner just now!" ”
At this time, this Cai Zhutou did not notice that behind him, a huge white cocoon flew towards his head.
Silver Hitomi yawned, and dissatisfiedly grabbed the "quilt" that was originally covering her body and threw it at the man who had been noisy since just now.
When the guards saw this huge cocoon, they all avoided it, only to hear a "bang", and the cocoon smashed the back of Cai Zhutou's head, Cai Zhutou was smashed and staggered, his eyes were black, and he fainted.
"I'm annoying, I'm annoying! And let not let people sleep! The silver pupil was completely angry, rushed to the collapsed body of Cai Zhutou at the speed of light, and kicked Cai Zhutou fiercely: "I see if you are still noisy!" ”
The corners of Ziyi's mouth twitched and looked at the violent silver pupils, gently pulled the corners of Duanmu Xun's clothes, and the two of them quietly retracted into the room and closed the door with a "bang".
Cai Zhutou, who fainted, was still destroyed by the silver pupils, and the guards around him didn't even dare to come out, and they all held their breath and looked at the people who fell to the ground with sympathy.
The silver-haired man in front of him seemed to be even more difficult to mess with.
The guards moved backwards one by one in sympathy.
"What are you all doing here! I don't know if Lao Tzu was tired to death last night and needs to sleep! "Silver Pupil seems to be tired of kicking, and turning around to that wave of guards is a lion roar!
Seeing this, the guards turned around in fright and ran, and fled out of the inn with a crawl.
The shopkeeper stood downstairs, watching what was happening upstairs, and he was already overwhelmed with fright.
The lords on this upper floor obviously looked quite kind when they moved in.
Silver Pupil's anger gradually subsided, and he noticed that he seemed to be the only one left in the entire inn.
Depressed, he took out a folding fan and poked his somewhat chaotic head, and the silver pupil knocked on the door of Ziyi's room: "Ziyi, what happened just now?" What are those guys here for? ”
Ziyi opened the door and looked at the silver pupils outside the door with a smile.
It turns out that this guy can't wake up and can be so terrifying-
It seems that when she wants to exploit employees in the future, she must first ensure her own personal safety.
"I don't know—"
Shrugged his shoulders and spread his hands, Ziyi couldn't figure out what had happened this morning.
"Oh—I guess it's for last night. There are dead people in the town, so naturally they have to come to us outsiders first. Besides, we were bumped into by the woman again last night, and it's not an exaggeration to be listed as the number one suspect. Kaoru Duanmu chuckled lightly, and gently stroked his hand over his injured shoulder.
"What's wrong? Is the wound painful? Ziyi noticed Duanmu Kaoru's movements, and walked to his side worriedly: "Let me see if it has just cracked." ”
"Silly, it's fine." Duanmu Kaoru knocked on Ziyi's hat amusedly, and said softly, "Let me see what your face looks like." ”
Ziyi looked at Duanmu Kaoru's expression and made sure that he didn't catch the painful look in it, so he breathed a sigh of relief and gently lifted the white veil in front of him.
At this time, Ziyi's little face had already recovered its original color, but it was still slightly swollen, but she was already a little emaciated, so she couldn't see it.
"Heh, it's a lot faster than I thought. This thing is ready to be taken off! Duanmu Kaoru said, and with a slight force, he lifted the hat on the top of the purple cloth's head.
"Really?" Ziyi touched his little face with both hands, and rushed to the bronze mirror in surprise.
These days, she didn't dare to look in the mirror at all, for fear of fainting from being scared to see her face.
But at this time, it looks just a little rounder than before.
"You should still be a little fatter." Duanmu Xun walked behind Ziyi and knocked on Ziyi's head: "I'm too thin, and I panic when I sleep in my arms at night." ”
"Can you two pick a time to flirt?" Silver Hitomi interrupted Duanmu Kaoru's words, and there was a black line on his face: "What should we do now?" Escape? ”
"Can't escape, the mystery should still be in this town, if we leave, I'm afraid he will have more time to recuperate, during this period, I'm afraid that more innocents will be implicated." Ziyi turned around, looked at the silver pupils, and said softly.
"But Kaoru will soon be recognized by people now, I'm afraid that if we continue to stay here, there will be more trouble." Silver Hitomi frowned.
"Hmph, I don't believe that an emperor can still want himself? He should have a way! Ziyi squinted at Duanmu Xun, with a malicious smile on the corner of his mouth: "Your Majesty, look at it, what should I do about this matter?" ”
"You-" Duanmu Kaoru poked the tip of Ziyi's nose, with doting in his eyes: "We might as well investigate first and see what the situation is outside now, as soon as the spies come back, let's talk about it." ”
"Spies? Where's the spies? Silver pupils looked around, but suddenly saw a person standing behind him.
"Master, there were three murders in the town last night, and thirteen people were killed." The man entered the door and saluted directly to Duanmu Xun, judging from the costume, he should be from Wuhua Palace.
Ziyi smiled secretly, she knew that along the way, there must be an entourage of Wuhua Palace to follow.
Although she couldn't feel it, judging from Duanmu Kaoru's character, he wouldn't do everything himself.
But-
Thirteen people killed?!
"Who are they?"
"There are three families, one of which is two elderly people with two children aged three or four, and the other two are a family of five and a family of four."
"Alright, you go down."
Duanmu Kaoru's expression also became solemn.
I thought it was just yesterday's murder!
But I didn't expect it to be Sanzhuang!
"Damn!" The little hand in purple clothes clenched into a fist, and he just wanted to pull out the maze now and beat it hard!
"Nie Wushuang! You bastard! ”
Outside the door, another voice suddenly sounded.
Ziyi was slightly surprised, and suddenly remembered that the owner of this voice was Mu Beichen, who had been missing for a long time and had no news!
Mu Beichen rushed in, and as soon as he entered the door, he waved his palm at Duanmu Xun.
Duanmu Xun frowned and dodged, but this Mu Beichen was more ruthless than one move.
Due to the injury on his shoulder, Duanmu Kaoru's movement is a little inconvenient, and every move is a little dangerous to dodge.
"Bastard! What kind of wind are you smoking! Ziyi, who was standing on the side, was angry, picked up the stool on the ground, looked at an angle, and waved it at this Mu Beichen.
Mu Beichen only felt a strong wind behind him, his toes were forceful, and he jumped up in the air, dodging the stool waved by Ziyi.
After seeing it clearly, Mu Beichen's back couldn't help but have a thin layer of sweat.
This woman clearly wants his life.
"Ziyi-" After landing on the ground, Mu Beichen pursed his lips aggrievedly, looked at Ziyi and called softly: "It's not me who has convulsions!" Ask this man what he's done! ”
