Chapter 143: Accident
Yun Jinshu was instantly alert, raised his knife and looked down, only to hear a clanging sound from the corner surrounded by a high wall somewhere in the backyard.
A dark shadow swept swiftly past the wall.
Someone ran from there.
He hurriedly glanced back at Ju Ying and King Jingjun, who were still flirting in the room, and blew a birdsong to transmit the signal, so that his subordinates quickly came over to take over, and he dodged into the night and chased after that side.
Who dares to come at this time? Could it be that King Jingjun also secretly met with other people besides Ju Ying? It is essential to know who the other joints are.
When he found it, Yun Jinshu suddenly frowned.
The small courtyard was a mess, logs rolled everywhere, and a large handyman lay face to the ground, with a dagger stuck in his head, and he fell in the direction of the ground, towards a narrow passage ahead.
Yun Jinshu didn't have time to examine the corpse carefully, it would not be easy for such a big person to hide the corpse, and it would not be too late to let someone come to check it.
He grabbed the handle of the knife on the back of his head and pulled it out.
The dagger "banged" and pulled out with a brain.
Yun Jinshu shook off the blood on it, carefully looked at the blade of the dagger, and continued to search for the people who had left this place.
The shadow of Fang Cai is definitely not this dead person.
The deceased's dress was just a recreation workshop handyman, and Yun Jinshu felt that he was more like he died in an "accident".
He jumped up to the eaves and searched around, and a bare grove rustled.
It was too dark to see how many roads there were in the woods.
"Over there?" Yun Jinshu said in his heart, "Then let's flip through it." ”
He landed silently in the woods, where the branches were so dense that it was almost difficult for an adult to walk freely.
He suddenly doubted his judgment that the person who passed so quickly in such a place was either a woman or a child, or a grown man of short stature, almost deformed.
But in any case, it must be man, and he can't be mistaken.
He looked at the ground by the moonlight, the snow had been civilized and frozen several times, and it was difficult to leave obvious marks on it.
But it's still music that can see footsteps, traces of running.
The footprints slowed down in front of the woods, and it was vaguely evident that two people, one big and one small, had once walked here.
Look at the size, like a woman with a child.
He thought it was even more strange.
Yun Jinshu slowed down and burrowed into the branches, trying not to make a sound.
After a winter, the fallen leaves that would interfere with his footsteps have turned into dirt, and now there is only a thin layer of hard snow under the dead trees, and he uses a small mirror against the moonlight, illuminating the footprints in the forest, and follows that step forward little by little.
In the middle of the woods, the pace suddenly became rapid again, and some small branches were hung up, and it looked like another hurried escape.
Suddenly, he saw something hanging from the treetops, fluttering slightly.
Pieces of cloth? Yun Jinshu walked up and pinched the piece of cloth, the material was very slippery and soft, and most of the women's clothes in Kangle Fang were like this, the colors were gorgeous, and they could be determined.
Puzzled, he walked forward again, and something on the ground shimmered golden in the reflection of the small mirror.
Yun Jinshu hurriedly walked over, and the moment he saw it clearly, his heart "chuckled".
He hurriedly picked up the piece of gold.
There will be no mistakes, the weight, the casting, the texture, all engraved in the mind.
It's the longevity lock that he and Wanwan replaced.
So among the people who just ran over, that kid, is it late?! But she ...... today. Shouldn't it be in the Sky Tower? Yun Jinshu was so anxious that his eyebrows burned, he just begged that someone had stolen Wanwan's things and ran out, and Wanwan himself was still in a safe place.
But it's almost impossible...... The dagger that had just been inserted into the dead man's head was so familiar, and the pattern on the blade of that dagger seemed to have been seen somewhere.
It's Qiu Ming, and Qiu Ming's knife has that kind of knife pattern on it! Yun Jinshu gritted his teeth and stuffed the longevity lock into his arms, and walked quickly through the forest.
Suddenly, he stopped and put away the small mirror, and a slow voice leaned in front of him.
Yun Jinshu drew his knife and twisted the man's neck suddenly, the man let out a small exclamation, and Yun Jinshu pinched her throat: "What about the little girl with you?" Qinghong's soul was scattered, and he didn't see who he was at all, so he hurriedly said: "I don't know if there is no little girl, I don't know...... Yes! ”
"Tell the truth."
Yun Jinshu's voice was as cold as broken ice.
Qinghong suddenly woke up, thinking that he was the one who chased and killed Chu Yuewan, so he simply pretended to be stupid and didn't say anything.
Yun Jinshu felt that she could put words out of her mouth, and immediately showed her waist card: "I am Yun Jinshu of the Fuguo Mansion, and I am ordered to investigate the case, that girl is the princess of Dagao Fujiang Yuning, I will not harm her." ”
Qinghong saw his waist card through the reflection, and saw his face in the mirror.
"Little grandfather...... "Qinghong's knees weakened and he knelt on the ground, "Princess...... I...... I took her to the street, she should be home...... It should be ......" she said, not hearing any sound, and suddenly looked up, and the Yunjin book had disappeared.
…… The curfew during the Chinese New Year was relatively relaxed, but the night market was coming to an end due to the cold weather, and many businesses were packing up their stalls and preparing to leave.
The streetlights, which had been bright before, were fading now.
Chu Yuewan could no longer hang outside like this, so she looked for the officers and soldiers patrolling everywhere, hoping to catch the carriage and horse to go back.
However, she was dressed in coarse cloth, and those tall horses walked in front of her without stopping, and almost knocked her down several times, and she did not dare to approach these powerful people again in the early moon.
What time is it? Which street is this? She didn't even know how long she had been walking, until someone behind her followed, and a low voice sounded: "Where else do you want to go?" Chu Yuewan looked back and saw Qiu Ming, and tears fell down her eyes.
"You're finally here......" She turned and ran back to Qiu Ming, pinching the corner of his shirt and wiping away tears.
Qiu Ming's original speech was stuck in his throat.
Like, something is not quite right.
"Don't you think I'm going to kill you?" Qiu Ming asked in a low voice.
"If you don't kill me, I won't live long alone."
The early moon looked at him pitifully.
That's true.
Chu Yuewan didn't expect that a person on the streets of the capital would be so dangerous.
What if it's not your own princess? If there was no uncle and Master Jing to accompany him before, would the capital really be such a beautiful place? "Will you take me back?" Chu Yuewan asked him after crying.
Qiu Ming didn't say a word.
Sensing the crisis, he silently looked behind him.
At this moment, Yun Jinshu just rushed to the street and saw the two of them from a distance.
"Late, late!" Yun Jinshu shouted.
Chu Yuewan hurriedly looked over there and found that it was him, and he was about to run.
Qiu Ming immediately picked her up and carried her on his shoulders and ran down the street.
Yun Jinshu quickly pursued, and Qiu Ming slipped out of the corner of the street with Chu Yuewan on his shoulders and rushed to the moat.
"Uncle, I'm here!!" The early moon called out to him in the evening.
"Call him, call him."
Qiu Ming didn't feel nervous at all, as if everything was expected.
Chu Yuewan heard what he said, and hurriedly shouted: "Uncle be careful that there are traps!! Yun Jinshu didn't have time to reply, so he could only chase all the way.
Qiu Ming...... After so many years of silence, it reappeared at this time.
At this time, Qiu Ming came late, what else could he be for? Of course, it was to divert the tiger from the mountain to get him out of King Jingjun, or to interfere with his marking of King Jingjun, Qiu Ming and King Jingjun were very likely to be in a group! No matter what his intentions are, King Jingjun can't get away with it.
But Qiu Ming was despicable and shameful to involve Wanwan as well!! Yun Jinshu blew a long whistle and notified people to surround Kangle Fang, and he followed Qiu Ming to the moat.
The moat in the cold winter freezes into ice, and this season has not yet been civilized.
The river ice was covered with thin snow and scratches from ice cars, and there was a lot of sand left by the winter horses, which was not very smooth, and the two sides were able to run on it steadily.
Qiu Ming couldn't get rid of Yun Jinshu even after running for a long time, but he chased him tighter and tighter, so he stopped and clamped Chu Yuewan in his arm, and pulled out a knife to hold against her neck.
Yun Jinshu hurriedly stopped.
"Sure enough, it's safest to bring the little princess."
Qiu Ming smiled, "This is the third time that the three of us have gathered, and it is really emotional to miss a few years ago." ”
"Why do you want me to treat you to a drink?" Yun Jinshu took advantage of the darkness to get closer, but Qiu Ming immediately noticed his steps and threatened him to keep his distance.
