When Shi Ling came to Wood Alley with the cavalry, Qin Xiao's courtyard had been fenced off in front and back.

Wood Lane is a relatively remote street in Guicheng, for many years, it has never been really lively, and the business of several shops on the street is not good, after all, the pedestrians are sparse, far less than those shops along the Yudai River.

As soon as it dawned today, years of peace in Wood Lane were shattered.

Not everyone who lives in the alley knows what's going on.

Chen Cripple at the entrance of the alley is idle on weekdays, sleeping until three o'clock in the morning every day, but today he was woken up by the sound of horses' hooves, and came out wearing a gown, and saw a group of people crowded in front of Qin Xiao's residence from a distance, so he couldn't help but come over.

"Golden skinny, what's wrong?" Seeing that the golden thin man in the coffin shop was also watching the excitement, Chen Cripple leaned over and asked.

"Someone died." The golden thin man and his father run a coffin shop, the father and son have little contact with people, after all, the business they do is not popular, this father and son have very similar personalities, they are both taciturn, and they can't see a smile on their faces all year round.

"Who died?" The golden thin man was taken aback: "Qin Xiao is dead?" ”

After all, they are neighbors, although Qin Xiao did not have too deep contact with the residents of Wood Lane, but everyone is still quite familiar with each other.

"What nonsense." Someone on the side couldn't help but say: "Qin Xiao is not in the house, a few strangers died, and I don't know where it came from." ”

"Strangers?" Chen Cripple looked puzzled: "How did a stranger die in Qin Xiao's house?" ”

The man said, "Who knows, maybe someone came into his house and stole something." I heard that Qin Xiao won a large sum of money in the gambling house, and these people must be eyeing Qin Xiao's silver. ”

"That's Qin Xiao killing them?" Chen lame asked.

"No, it's a female ghost." The golden thin man suddenly opened his mouth.

"Female ghosts?" Chen Cripple was taken aback: "How do you know?" Did you see that? ”

The thin man pointed into the courtyard and did not speak.

The courtyard door is open, although there are people guarding the door, but standing outside the door, you can also see the scene in the courtyard, Chen Cripple saw a military general in armor standing in the courtyard, and Wang Da face of the baked cake shop was standing in front of the general, as if he was saying something.

Shi Ling's face was very cold at this time.

Wang Da Face has been making baked cakes in Mu Alley for many years, he is honest, and he grins when he looks at people, many people are a little stupid in his brain, but there must be no lie from his mouth.

There were two corpses lying in the courtyard, both dressed in black sweat coats and covered with their mouths and noses, one holding a knife in his hand, and the knife in the other corpse's hand flying far away.

"Female ghost." Wang Da made a gesture with a big face: "Floating around, snapping, hands touch the neck, and the person is dead." ”

"Why do you see that?" Song Chuang, a subordinate beside Shi Ling, asked, "You said that the female ghost floated around and saw it with your own eyes?" ”

Wang Da nodded vigorously: "There was a noise in the house, I heard a sound, I looked outside, it crackled, and then they ......!" Pointing to the two corpses on the ground: "They ran out of the house, and the female ghost floated out of the house, and then they died." ”

"What do you mean by ghost?" Shi Ling frowned and asked.

Wang raised his hand to cover his eyes: "Don't dare to look, don't dare to look, female ghosts want to eat people, don't dare to look." When the person died, I was afraid that she would eat me, so I ran back and hid in the house, not daring to come out. ”

"Is the owner of this house Qin Xiao?"

"Yes." Wang nodded with a big face and said, "Qin Xiao, good boy, eat the baked cakes I made and give me a lot of silver." ”

"And did you see him last night?" Shi Ling continued to ask.

Wang shook his head and said, "No, I didn't see him." Thinking of something, he showed a look of horror: "Eaten by a female ghost, Qin Xiao was eaten by a female ghost." ”

"Take him down." Shi Ling waved his hand, and someone took Wang Da Face down, and Wang Da Face chattered endlessly: "There are female ghosts, be careful, eat people." ”

Shi Ling entered the house, there were still two corpses in the house, he squatted down next to one corpse, Song Chuang followed by the side, and said in a low voice: "Commander, judging from these corpses, they are all fatal with one blow, and the jailer named Qin Xiao does not have such kung fu." ”

"The murderer is a master of the Middle Heaven Realm." Shi Ling said lightly: "The skills are extremely good. ”

Song Chuang was taken aback: "Zhongtian Realm? Isn't that the same as an adult? ”

"I can't match her." Shi Ling's eyes were like knives: "I just broke through to the fourth rank, and this murderer is at least above the fifth grade." ”

"Qin Xiao has such a master by his side?" Song Chuang was even more shocked.

Shi Ling didn't say much, stood up, walked around the house, and then walked out of the door, Song Chuang said: "Commander, people have been sent to seal both sides of Wood Lane, do you want to search for it from house to house in Wood Lane." The murderer and Qin Xiao may be hiding in Wood Alley. ”

"If you were Qin Xiao and there were Zhongtian Realm masters by your side, would you still stay in Wood Lane?" Shi Ling said lightly: "The scene of the crime is in Wood Lane, Qin Xiao will naturally think that the Hou Mansion will send someone over, and it is absolutely impossible for him to continue to stay here." ”

At this time, one person came up and arched his hand: "Commander, it is said that Qin Xiao was making trouble in a gambling house before, and there was a master by his side, who happened to be a woman. That woman is very skilled, more than ten people in the gambling house are vulnerable under her hands, Qin Xiao and the woman left together afterwards, last night's murderer, if nothing else, should be that woman. ”

Shi Ling frowned, was silent for a moment, and then said: "Find the people in the gambling house, ask them to describe the appearance and figure of the woman, find a painter to draw it, and that Qin Xiao, also draw it, and then post it on the streets and alleys of Guicheng, tell everyone that if you find the traces of these two people, report it immediately, once you are caught, you will be rewarded, if you hide it and don't report it, it will be a chaotic party." ”

The man said yes and stepped back.

Shi Ling walked out of the courtyard, and there were still neighbors in Wood Alley outside, he stood on the street, looked around, and his eyes fell on the oil shop diagonally opposite the door.

Inside the oil shop, on a shabby chair, mapo was curled up in it.

Early in the morning, the dawn was shining on the streets, but the inside of the oil shop was still very dark.

Shi Ling walked slowly to the door of the oil shop, staring at the Ma Po in the chair, the old woman was napping, she didn't seem to have slept well, and she didn't notice that someone was staring at her, only when Shi Ling walked into the oil shop and coughed, Ma Po was woken up, and said in an old hoarse voice: "There is vegetable oil, butter, sesame oil, what do you want?" ”

Shi Ling didn't speak, he looked left and right, and there was a counter on the left, because he had turned his head for too long, the counter was covered with a layer of greasy, and there were jars and jars on it, and the room was full of greasy smell.

To the right is a room with the door open.

Shi Ling looked around and heard Mapo say again: "Vegetable oil, butter, sesame oil, what do you want?" ”

Shi Ling ignored it and turned around and walked out.

Behind the door, Qin Xiao held the fish intestine thorn in his hand, his eyes were like knives, the moment Shi Ling entered the door, he clenched the fish intestine thorn, if Shi Ling really didn't open his eyes, walking into the room, whether he could get out alive was a question mark.

The little aunt's soft body was close to Qin Xiao's back, but she looked relaxed and didn't look flustered because of the tense atmosphere outside.

The door was open, and Shi Ling naturally couldn't have imagined that there was someone hiding behind the door.

After Shi Ling went out, Qin Xiao tiptoed back to the bedside, his eyes came to the gap, and he could see the situation on the street clearly.

I saw Shi Ling give a few words, and soon turned over and got on the horse, and left with his subordinates, and it didn't take long for several corpses to be carried out, thrown on the backs of two horses, and taken away, and I heard a person shouting to the people in Wood Alley: "Listen well, if anyone sees Qin Xiao, or knows Qin Xiao's whereabouts, immediately report to the Hou Mansion, and the Hou Ye will be rewarded." If anyone harbors and does not report, or even shields Qin Xiao, he is his comrade, Qin Xiao plots against the court and is a thief, if you are his party, you will have your head cut off, have you heard it? ”

The people said yes in a few sporadic ways, and soon they all dispersed, and the streets returned to their former calm.

Qin Xiao breathed a sigh of relief, feeling the soft body of the little aunt pressing on his back, and at this time, he had no intention of enjoying the comfort brought by the little aunt, twisted his body, and said in a low voice: "You are too heavy, crush me to death." ”

The little senior aunt rolled her eyes, and said angrily: "Dignified Sword Valley master, it's really a shame to accompany you little bastard to hide here like a thief." According to my temper, go out and beat them up, I can leave if I want, and they can still stop me? ”

"You're amazing." Qin Xiao said: "But you can move ten, twenty, or even a hundred, can you move three or five hundred?" The city is full of people from the Zhen family, and you are also a master of the Middle Heaven Realm, and you really think that you are invincible in the world. He muttered, "If you hadn't run out to gamble and come back in the early hours of the morning, you would have just bumped into those assassins, and you wouldn't have caused such a big commotion." ”

The little aunt's face sank and said, "Little bastard, you really don't know the hearts of good people." Those assassins are trying to kill you, I helped you get rid of them, and you still have so much nonsense. ”

"Before I even entered the yard, I knew something was wrong, and I kept hiding here." Qin Xiao was also angry: "You are a master of the Heavenly Realm, before you entered the courtyard, you didn't notice that something was wrong inside?" ”

The little aunt said angrily: "Little bastard, do you still have a conscience? Why didn't I notice? It's just that the old lady is worried that you will be killed by them, so she always has to go in to help you collect the body, a good heart, and she will be verbosed by you, a bastard. Flicked his sleeves: "From now on, the old lady and you will be cut in two, don't affect the old lady if you have anything." I'm innocent, and now I'm being implicated by you and becoming a murder fugitive, if you don't apologize, you dare to blame me? The more he thought about it, the more angry he became, and he stretched out his hand and said, "Lose the money!" ”

At this moment, I saw Ma Po walking into the room, leaning over, and her seemingly cloudy eyes were staring at the two of them coldly at the moment.

The little senior aunt glanced at the red leaves, went over and sat down on the chair, Qin Xiao stepped forward and said in a low voice, "Everyone is gone." ”

"There's an ambush near Wood Alley, and it won't be so easy to leave." Momiji's voice was sometimes crisp and sometimes old, and at this time it was hoarse: "The wolf rode into the city, and he won't give up, at least before he catches you, this matter won't be good." ”

"The speed of the Zhenhou Mansion is really fast." Qin Xiao sneered, "The wolf rider was transferred into the city so quickly. ”

Momiji said coldly: "His son almost died in your hands, do you think he can spare you?" You either don't make a move, and if you do, don't let him live. This is the aftermath you left behind, the assassination can't be done, but it will be recognized, and you can't stay in this turtle city. ”
