Chapter 187: The killer is a woman
Xiaoqi, Shen Luo had met her hastily, and he had some impressions of her size and appearance.
Although it was a bit blatant to pretend to be a food delivery vendor, Xiaoqi was still very cautious.
She seems to have stuffed a lot of straw and cotton wool into her clothes, which made her body look like a man.
In addition, she deliberately put on makeup on her face and smeared her skin dark, even if Xiaoqi was standing in front of Shen Luo, if she could only glance at it, she might not be able to recognize it immediately.
Half of June has passed, and it is already a hot season, especially in recent days, which has become much hotter.
Shen Luo should really thank him for this hot day, if it weren't for that, Xiaoqi would not have been discovered by Shen Luo because she sweated too much.
I think it was because of the cotton wool and straw stuffed in her clothes, and her sweat was almost dripping down her face.
I've seen someone who is afraid of heat, but Shen Luo has never seen someone who is so afraid of heat.
Most of the food is delivered in the early morning, and this hour has not yet reached the time when people are sweating profusely, but Xiaoqi's sweat has been flowing non-stop, like tears.
I think that in addition to the hot weather, it is also because she was originally a maid of a large family, and she has never done such hard work as pushing a wooden cart to deliver vegetables.
Shen Luo was attracted by only one glance, and when she looked closely, she instinctively felt that something was wrong, and then she realized that it was Xiaoqi.
Because of her identity, she can't just kidnap people in front of the public for questioning, not to mention that in addition to the common people, there may not be no one else around the mansion to watch.
After thinking about it, Shen Luo planned to follow Xiaoqi, and at the same time secretly protect her safety. When she got to a hidden place, she came forward to ask.
This was a whole day, and Shen Luo couldn't even eat a bite of rice.
Perhaps in order not to arouse the suspicion of others, she not only sent food to Lifu, but also sent food to other mansions, so that almost a long time ago, Shen Luo had been running around with her.
After noon, Xiaoqi still did not return to her hiding place, but she was in the middle of the city.
If you hadn't been paying attention to her figure, there would have been several crowds, and Shen Luo was almost slipped by her.
In this way, she followed until the evening, when Xiaoqi finally left the crowd and entered a sparsely populated alley on Pingde Street.
At this time, it was almost decided, and the alley was dark.
It should be that there are not many shops in the alley, and the people who live in them are not high-ranking households, so almost no people are brightly lit at night.
Xiaoqi walked briskly, Shen Luo didn't have the patience to follow her all the way to her current lair, and only after passing by the nearest house, Shen Luo spoke up.
"Miss Xiaoqi doesn't have to go so fast."
In the dark night, in the sparsely popped alley, such a gloomy female voice suddenly popped out, and Xiaoqi in front of her shrank her neck in fright.
She paused in her footsteps, but did not speak, and in the next moment, she suddenly opened her legs and walked faster and faster, only two quick steps, and then almost ran away.
Shen Luo shook his head helplessly, a flying body, the dress hunted in the dark, Xiaoqi only ran a short distance, and suddenly saw a black shadow in front of him, vaguely alone.
"You... You ......"
Originally, I thought it was the violent wheezing that made Xiaoqi's words intermittent, but until she calmed down her breathing, she didn't say anything after that.
"Can you talk properly?" Shen Luo asked.
She didn't want to waste time, so she only heard Xiaoqi's breathing steady, and Shen Luo, who was standing with her arms crossed, didn't wait for Xiaoqi to answer, so she asked again: "Where did the poison that poisoned Li Anran come from?" β
In the dark, although Shen Luo and Xiaoqi were about five or six steps apart, she still clearly felt Xiaoqi's figure pause.
"Y-You're not here to kill me?" Xiaoqi asked in a panic.
"It's not." Shen Luo quickly denied: "You just need to tell me the origin of the poison." β
"I... How do I know ......" lowered his voice a few points, clearly lying.
"If you don't know anything, where do you kill people? What are you hiding? "Shen Luo is aggressive.
Compared to her cold tone, the sound of the dagger coming out of the sheath was more shocking, Shen Luo only pulled out half of the dagger slowly, and Xiaoqi had already hurriedly taken two steps back.
She said, "IβI didn't mean to hurt Miss, I just helped carry a letter!" β
Xiaoqi's voice was fast and urgent, and it was almost justified in the end, but then her voice was low again: "...... Also, there's a bottle of medicine... But I really didn't know it was poison! β
Hearing Xiaoqi's emotions, Shen Luo lowered his voice: "I'm not here to pursue you, you just need to tell me who gave you the poison." β
"Yesβ"
The night wind howled, and on a June night, even if there was wind, it was scorching, and there was a faint smell of blood.
The moment Xiaoqi's voice stopped abruptly, although Shen Luo reacted immediately, there was a distance of a few people between her and Xiaoqi, and when she dodged closer, Xiaoqi was almost out of breath.
In the blink of an eye, the person who was still talking alive was even warm at the moment, maintaining a standing posture, but he had no ability to speak, and then he lost a little popularity.
Through the faint moonlight, Shen Luo saw that there was a short cut on Xiaoqi's neck, very thin, but very deep.
didn't have time to think about it, Shen Luo closed her eyes and listened carefully, and after judging the general direction of the exterminator's escape, she immediately jumped and chased after her.
There was a 'boom' behind him, the sound of a corpse falling to the ground.
β¦β¦
was only chasing out not far away, Shen Luo made great achievements, and soon fought with that person.
The person who came to kill the mouth was light and flexible, Shen Luo flew with the dagger as a probe, trying to cut through the black cloth on the man's face, but the man's reaction was extremely fast, his neck was tilted, his body fell back, and then he kicked on the ground with a little force, and quickly dodged Shen Luo's dagger.
Shen Luo's technique is old-fashioned, the dagger blade fell backwards with the man's body, and then it was also pressed very low, and the man's center of gravity almost touched the ground after dodging, and he only got up after rolling on the ground for half a circle.
In fact, Shen Luo didn't expect this person to have such guts, because when he fell to the ground and rolled in half a circle, he almost exposed his whole body to the opponent's attack.
Shen Luo naturally wouldn't let go of such an opportunity, but she didn't expect that this person had a helper.
Just as Shen Luo swept over again, intending to break this person's tendon with one move, several sounds of 'Xiu Xiu Xiu' suddenly sounded in the darkness.
It's an arrow.
Shen Luo spun up halfway, dodging all the arrows he shot, and with a volley in the air, he kicked the fastest arrow back in the direction it came.
Presumably these men were well prepared, and under the cover of their companions, the man who had killed the mouth ran away.
They seem to have only come to kill Xiaoqi, and for Shen Luo, they have no intention of fighting at all.
Although the man escaped, Shen Luo still discovered something unexpected to her from the only moments of fighting.
The killer was a woman.
