Volume 1 Jinghua Smoke and Clouds (I) Chapter 28 Murder in the Snowy Night
For seven days, Lu Chengfeng squatted at the mouth of the alley where she disappeared every day, waiting for a stone lion on Nanshi Street.
At first, he dragged the neighbors and passers-by to ask questions, for fear of missing anything about her, and the fire in his heart burned his eyes red, like a mad demon.
The passers-by couldn't stop looking him up and down with curious eyes, and seeing that he was richly dressed and extraordinary, although they secretly laughed in their hearts that he was stupid and stupid, they all waved their hands and quickly avoided him.
There was only a wandering little beggar who came to talk to him every day, and made a few gossips about the streets in exchange for daily food.
Probably afraid that Lu Chengfeng would dislike the dirty smell on his body, the little beggar stayed away every time, and ran away as soon as he got the food he gave. Lu Chengfeng wanted to stop him several times and ask him if he wanted to go to the crown king's West Mansion to find a small errand such as washing dishes, but he couldn't seize the opportunity every time.
This little guy doesn't know, ten years ago, I was also a prosperous ant. Now when I see this little guy, it's like seeing myself back then, not only did I not dislike it at all, but I was extremely kind and pitying.
I don't know why, this little beggar didn't come to him on time today? Lu Chengfeng thought about it, feeling even more bored.
The end of the year is approaching, the north wind is cold, and the weather is getting colder and colder.
There are more and more visitors from all walks of life on this Nanshi Street, and there is an endless flow of people buying and purchasing New Year's goods.
At the end of the day, the road rode the wind and looked left and right, and in the evening, it was already dizzy, and when I closed my eyes, it seemed that there were many small black dots flying around, flying around.
Between thoughts, a few drops of cold liquid gently fell on the corner of his forehead, like a beautiful woman crying, crystal clear.
Could it be her? Reunited on the street after a long absence, is it as difficult as him?
Lu Chengfeng opened his eyes excitedly, but saw the snow flying all over the sky, and the falling hexagonal snow petals were broken and falling, and the snow was as white as falling flowers.
It's starting to snow! Lu Chengfeng's heart sank suddenly, and his memory returned to Shouyang City ten years ago, the cold winter night when he almost died.
I wonder if the little beggar is okay? I haven't asked him where he has made his home, I wonder if he has a place to escape from the cold? But don't freeze to death. Lu Chengfeng thought, got up and walked to the alley where the little beggar frequented.
Before he could take a few steps, in this dim and cramped alley, a thin and weak little hand suddenly grabbed the hem of his clothes.
"Childe, help!" The man's voice crying for help was dying.
Lu Chengfeng immediately squatted down, and saw through the light of the sky that had not yet darkened that it was the little beggar! Is he really going to freeze to death? Lu Chengfeng hurriedly picked up the child and hurriedly ran to Yipinge.
"Little two! Grab a jug of hot wine and warm up this kid! He's dying! Is there a small stove? Take them all! Lu Chengfeng shouted as he ran into the gate of Yipinge.
"That's a lot of blood! Killed! A woman's scream burst through his eardrums.
Take a look at the wind! Blood was pouring out from under the little beggar, spilling all the way along with their trajectory.
"Quick! Who's going to call a doctor for me! Go to the nearest doctor! Afterwards, I will definitely have a lot of thanks! ”
Lu Chengfeng roared hurriedly, took off his big fur and wrapped the child tightly, and carefully examined it, it was a knife in the back! He quickly tore a piece from his robe and gently plugged the wound.
"Murder! Help me! I saw a person running wildly outside the door, as if he was being chased by gangsters, and kept shouting "help" in his mouth!
Lu Chengfeng handed over the child to the shopkeeper, jumped out, rushed out of the door, hurriedly caught up with the running man, and asked, "What's the matter?" ”
"Hero, help! Over there! Someone died! I see! A lot of people died! The man ran out of breath, and after stopping suddenly, he almost slipped and fell on the snow under his feet, and was in shock.
"Where? I'll go and see it first, and you can report to the official as soon as possible. Lu Chengfeng saw that he was incoherent, so he went straight in the direction of his finger.
Walking through the long, dark and cramped winding alley just now, it turned out to be the back door of a deep mansion compound.
Through a thick door wall, Lu Chengfeng faintly smelled a pungent smell of blood.
A sense of foreboding flashed through my mind. Lu Chengfeng vigilantly pushed the door hard, only to hear the door latch clanging inside. This door was locked from the inside!
The snow was still falling, and it was already like goose feathers, blowing one after another, bringing a chill.
Lu Chengfeng was now unarmed, so he had to use the most primitive method to slam his body into the door. After hitting for a long time, the heavy solid wood door did not move at all.
Lu Chengfeng only hated that he hadn't followed his master to learn mental methods and light skills well since he was a child, otherwise where would this small door stop him! If he is as deep as the second senior sister at this moment, he will split it with one palm! Or if you are like chasing the wind, you have already flown into the eaves and tiles over the wall!
As he hesitated, the sound of Dada's horses' hooves was dense like rain, accompanied by a familiar voice as deafening as a bell, "Who is there sneaking around!" You're already surrounded! Don't hurry up and catch it! ”
"Brother Jingmo! It's me! Ride the wind! ”
The sound of horses' hooves stopped at the mouth of the alley at the other end like a shower. A large group of people poured in, and the torches in their hands suddenly illuminated the long dark alley as bright as day.
"Brother Chengfeng, I didn't expect it to be a message from you who sent someone to report. What's going on? After a short greeting, Wu Jingmo went straight to the point and asked.
"Do you smell the smell of killing?" The road rode the wind and leaned towards the small door.
"Someone! Crack this little door for me! Wu Jingmo gave an order.
"Yes!" A government soldier came out in response, simply pulled out his saber neatly, stuffed it into the narrow crack of the door, raised the knife in his hand, and "rubbed" it, the door latch fell to the ground, and the small door opened.
Before the team could enter the door in a hurry, a strong smell of blood came to the nostrils, making people sick.
"Not good!" Lu Chengfeng shouted, and rushed into the door with an arrow.
"Don't go yet! Be careful! Wu Jingmo originally stopped his steps, but at this moment, he had to follow the back of Lu Chengfeng and carefully moved in. A group of government soldiers immediately stepped forward to protect him behind him.
Lu Chengfeng has already run away, although there is no sword in his hand, his heart is still the heart of the hot-blooded children of the rivers and lakes. As he ran, he suddenly felt like he had been hit on the head with a stick, and he was hit hard by something. He instinctively brushed it away with his hand, but it was like an electric shock!
It's human feet! It was cold and cold, already stiff, and in this snowy night, it was blown by the fierce north wind, like a pendulum made of ice, and swayed left and right in the wind.
Lu Chengfeng slowly looked up and saw that it was a female corpse hanging from a beam! Look at the dress, it should be the maid of this family.
"Look!" He pointed to the female corpse with his left hand, turned around and shouted in the direction of Wu Jingmo.
The soldiers gathered together, but they all stopped a few feet away from him, not daring to step forward. Some people are trembling, some people start to cry for their fathers and mothers, and some people pounce and kneel down and chant the Bodhisattva Dharma name.
"What's wrong?" Wu Jingmo, who turned back three times in one step, finally arrived. He pulled open the government soldiers on the inner and outer three floors, and as soon as he probed, his frightened lips turned purple, his face turned pale, and he immediately shrank back, trembling and said, "Brother Chengfeng, don't look back!" ”
