Ximen Zhanying was obviously still very in awe of the Shenhou, although he was a little reluctant, he still walked back, and when he arrived at the table, Qi Ning smiled and said, "Miss Ying, this is for you." Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info”

Ximen Zhanying couldn't help but say, "Don't call me that." ”

Ximen Shenhou coughed, and Ximen Zhanying could only stand aside with his hands down, but his pretty face seemed to be covered with frost.

"Miss Ying, if you really don't want to, actually...... In fact, you don't have to force yourself. Qi Ning sighed, "I'm drinking with Shenhou, if you look cold, this ......!" He shook his head with a wry smile.

Ximen Zhanying knew that Qi Ning was deliberately adding fuel to the fire, and he wanted to hack him to death with a knife, but he was stared at by Ximen Shenhou, so he could only say: "Although Master Hou is drinking, I will only serve on the side, and I will not disturb your mood." Glancing at the Ximen Shenhou, it was obvious that even the Ximen Shenhou was blamed by her.

Qi Ning picked up his wine glass and said, "Shenhou, I am invited today, I will toast you first!" "Raise a glass and drink it all now.

Ximen Shenhou smiled: "It seems that the little marquis is the same as Ling Zun, and he is so happy to drink. Raising his glass and drinking it all, he glanced at Ximen Zhanying, and motioned for Ximen Zhanying to pour wine.

Ximen Zhanying picked up the wine jar and poured wine for the two of them expressionlessly, Qi Ning smiled: "Miss Ying's kung fu in pouring wine is really good, just right." ”

Ximen Zhanying glared at Qi Ning fiercely, but in front of Ximen Shenhou, he didn't dare to say anything.

"It is said that Hou Ye saw the murderer that night." Ximen Shenhou said: "Hou Ye still remembers his body shape? ”

Qi Ning knew that what Shenhou said was a bloodsucking murderer, and shook his head and said: "Shenhou misunderstood, I did see the murderer, but I can't see his appearance clearly." He wore a black coat over his body to hide his figure, and he wore a mask on his face, which looked very terrifying, which was intended to hide his true face. ”

"If you commit such a big crime, of course, you won't show your true face." Shenhou bowed slightly, "Did the Hou Ye hear him speak?" Remember his voice? ”

Qi Ning shook his head and said, "He didn't speak from beginning to end, he just ..... Well, I remember him screaming twice, in a very strange voice, like the roar of a wild beast. ”

"Then what the little marquis saw was a murderer wearing a big face and a mask." Shenhou said: "Little Hou Ye, can you tell if he is a man or a woman?" ”

"Huh?" Qi Ning was stunned for a moment, and said curiously: "Did Shenhou think it would be a woman?" ”

Shenhou looked serious and said: "Before the evidence is clear, all hypothetical judgments must be taken into account, if the murderer is unexpectedly a woman, and we conclude from the beginning that it is a man, then when we follow the clues, we will go in the opposite direction and go further and further." ”

Qi Ning thought that Jiang was still old and spicy, and nodded: "What Shenhou said is extremely true, but judging from the voice he made that night, it shouldn't be a woman." ”

Ximen Zhanying snorted coldly beside him, and Qi Ning smiled: "Does Miss Ying have any opinions?" ”

Ximen Zhanying said: "Marquis of Jinyi, with all due respect, you haven't investigated the case, maybe you have seen too little, sometimes you speak like a man, but you can't conclude that it is a man." Those eunuchs in the palace speak in very sharp voices, like women, do you dare to say that the eunuchs in the palace are all women? ”

Qi Ning smiled and said, "Miss Ying, according to what you mean, I want to ask, is the eunuch in the palace a man or a woman?" ”

Ximen Zhan Ying was stunned, then his cheeks were slightly red, and he turned his head away, ignoring it.

"Little Marquis, don't be like her." Shenhou smiled: "This girl's mother went early, so I also indulged some, I am used to it on weekdays, I don't know how thick the sky is, don't care." ”

Qi Ning waved his hand and said unashamedly: "Miss Ying is still young, I don't have the same knowledge as her, so Shenhou doesn't have to worry." ”

"You're ......!" Simon's brows furrowed, showing a look of anger.

"Shenhou, why do you think that person wants to kill people and suck blood?" Qi Ning didn't wait for Ximen Zhanying's attack, he had already looked at Ximen without a trace, "I saw that corpse, most of the blood in the body was sucked away, how can a person's stomach withstand so much blood?" ”

Shenhou said: "Actually, this kind of thing is not strange. ”

"Isn't it strange?" Qi Ning was shocked and said, "Could it be that Shenhou has seen someone suck blood?" ”

Shenhou said: "To tell you the truth, I haven't seen it with my own eyes before this, but...... There are also such rumors on the rivers and lakes. ”

"Dad, what is the rumor? Why have you never talked to me? Ximen Zhanying immediately asked.

"It's not a good thing, so why bother telling you?" Shenhou glanced at Ximen Zhanying, and then said: "Many years ago, I heard that there were some scum in the rivers and lakes who practiced some extremely weird kung fu, which were all evil arts, and they could not be reached the hall of elegance, and they were all despised by the people in the rivers and lakes. However, judging from the heart, those demonic and evil techniques, if they really want to be successfully cultivated, they are full of power and very powerful. ”

"Shenhou is saying that the murderer sucked blood in order to practice?" Qi Ning frowned.

Shenhou explained: "Cultivating evil skills, being able to take advantage of opportunistic tricks, and use some appalling means to make one's martial arts advance by leaps and bounds, for example, some scum in the rivers and lakes use the means of collecting yin and supplementing yang to cultivate evil skills, and some use highly poisonous things to improve their skills and suck people's blood to practice, although it is rare, it is not impossible. After a pause, he said: "As far as I know, more than 70 years ago, there was a bloody demon lord who made waves in the rivers and lakes, killing people without calculation, and his method of practicing martial arts was to take people's blood. ”

Ximen Zhanying's face turned slightly pale, and he said in shock: "Dad, will the murderer this time have something to do with the Bloody Hand Demon Lord?" ”

"Girl Ying, the Bloody Hand Demon Lord is a figure from seventy years ago, where can he live until now?" Qi Ning smiled and said, "Unless he has become an immortal devil." ”

"So what's impossible?" Ximen Zhanying sneered.

"Even if he can really live a hundred years, he won't live to live now." Qi Ning said: "Such an evil demon, do you think the rivers and lakes can let him go?" Shenhou, if I hadn't guessed wrong, the Bloody Hand Demon Lord would have died a long time ago. Otherwise, if that guy doesn't die, more than seventy years have passed, then his martial arts must be invincible in the world, and someone can still kill him? ”

Shenhou smiled: "What the little Hou Ye said is right, the Bloody Hand Demon Lord has been rampant in the rivers and lakes for only a few years, and he was surrounded and killed by others, and it has long ceased to exist. ”

"Doesn't he have an apprentice?" Ximen Zhanying was still unwilling, "Dad, maybe the one who is doing evil in the capital now is the disciple and grandson of the devil." ”

Shenhou shook his head and said: "That's not it, that demon is arrogant, and I haven't heard of any apprentices, if there really is, it is impossible for him to hide in the rivers and lakes for more than seventy years before suddenly appearing." He frowned slightly, and said: "If the murderer this time is really a bloodsucking exercise, then this person must be arrested as soon as possible, otherwise he will be given time, I am afraid that there will be a bigger mess." ”

Qi Ning hesitated for a moment, and finally said, "Shenhou, I think the identity of that murderer may be extraordinary. ”

"Oh?" Shenhou said: "Why did the little marquis say this? ”

"I saw that man's figure, not like ordinary people, very majestic." Qi Ning frowned and said: "At that time, he was standing on the roof, his big air fluttering, looking at me condescendingly, that momentum was ....., let's put it this way, I looked at him at the time, it was like seeing a general reviewing his soldiers, I don't know why I felt that way, but..... At that time, the feeling was very strong, so I felt that the murderer was no ordinary person. ”

Shenhou bowed slightly: "Xiao Cang also told me that Xiao Hou Ye provided clues about that person that night. After a slight groan, he said: "A person's temperament is not something that can be possessed overnight, but has been accumulated over many years, and after having that kind of temperament, it is difficult to hide it between gestures." ”

"There's another very strange question." Qi Ning said: "Shenhou, you said that if the murderer just wanted to cultivate the evil sect demon arts, why would he choose to commit a crime in the capital?" Everyone knows that the capital is the heart of my Great Chu, the masters are like clouds, and the garrison is strict, and it is the place where the Shenhou Mansion is located, this person kills people and sucks blood, it is impossible not to be noticed, he does this, isn't he asking for trouble? This world is so big, if you really want to suck blood and practice some evil kung fu, you can go to some remote places casually, and it is not difficult to kill people and take blood, but in the capital, there must be something weird. ”

Ximen Zhanying was originally a little disgusted with Qi Ning, but when he heard this, he frowned and said, "Dad, he'...... What he said is not unreasonable, it is impossible for the murderer not to know that once he commits such a case, he will definitely be targeted by the imperial court, but why does he still do this? ”

Shenhou looked at Qi Ning and asked, "What is the opinion of the little marquis?" ”

Qi Ning said: "I also thought about it, the biggest possibility is that the person ...... can't leave the capital at all, or rather, his identity is destined to prevent him from leaving the capital for a long time. ”

"Oh?" Shenhou said with interest: "Little Marquis, your speculation is very reasonable. ”

"Why can't he leave the capital for a long time?" Ximen Zhanying looked at Qi Ning and asked.

Qi Ning picked up the wine glass, drank it all, and then looked at the wine jar, Ximen Zhanying was originally full of curiosity, but being made by Qi Ning like this, he was a little angry, but he could only pick up the wine jar and pour it.

Qi Ning then said: "Miss Ying, think about it yourself, what kind of person can't leave the capital?" And once you have been away for a long time, it will arouse suspicion? ”

Simon Zhanying only frowned, but did not answer.

"In my opinion, that person should be the one who is in the limelight, at least most people are familiar with him." Qi Ning said slowly: "He can't be like a businessman or a wanderer, he won't attract the attention of others wherever he goes, such a person, the reason why he can't leave the capital is because he still has responsibilities in the capital, once he leaves, even if it is not known by most people, at least it will be noticed by the people around him, and even suspicious because of it." ”

Shenhou stared at Qi Ning, his expression was solemn, and his gaze became bright.

"So I think about it, plus some clues that we know so far, the bloodsucking murderer is very likely to be an official of the imperial court." Qi Ning Zhengse said: "And this person may even be a military general." After a pause, he said, "There is another extremely critical clue." ”

"What clues?" Ximen Zhanying couldn't help but ask.

"I just said that the man can't leave the capital for a long time, but it doesn't mean that he can't leave for a few days." Qi Ning said: "Many officials in Beijing leave Beijing for a few days, in fact, they will not attract too much attention, but after a long time, it will make people suspicious." If the murderer was just practicing for bloodsucking, then he could occasionally find time to leave Beijing for two or three days, and it would definitely not attract special attention, but why did he risk being chased by the imperial court and still commit crimes in Beijing? ”

Ximen Zhanying was obviously attracted by Qi Ning's analysis and asked, "Why?" ”

"Because the murderer probably can't even control the time himself." Qi Ning said word by word: "He kills people and sucks blood, and he can't design it according to his own time, but needs it at any time, and he can't control it himself." ”
