Chapter 176: The Occurrence of Murder (Part I) Ask for Subscription
The night is getting thicker and thicker.
With the sound of street drums, the gate of Pingjian Shifang City was immediately closed, and the lights were extinguished.
The city, which was still noisy just now, suddenly fell silent.
Anjifang and Pingjian North City are quite lively, after all, as a commercial market in Pingjian, although they can't carnival all night, it is impossible to really close the market as the law says. Not to mention Pingjiao, even if it is Chang'an, the east and west cities will still continue to operate after the night curfew. As long as you don't walk around the streets after the night fast, you'll be fine.
However, after the ugly time, the spring thunder exploded.
A spring rain suddenly came, shrouding the flat thorns in rain and mist.
The two dead wind lamps hanging at the gate of Guanqiao Pavilion swayed in the wind, which looked particularly deserted.
On the street at the entrance, there are no people, and only occasionally the footsteps of the people patrolling the city can be heard from the streets outside the square.
This night, Yang Shouwen slept very unsteadily.
He dreamed of the young lady again, and dreamed of the peach and apricot blooming all over the Hugu Mountain......
Woooooo
A faint, almost inaudible sound wave lingered in my ears.
Yang Shouwen opened his eyes suddenly and sat up from the bed.
Absjida, who was laying on the ground on the side, also sat up, and the two looked at each other, and Yang Shouwen couldn't help but have doubts in his heart.
Sonic waves, disappear without a trace.
Yang Shouwen yawned and lay down again.
Jeddah sat on the floor with a frown, his nose twitching slightly, revealing a look of confusion.
After a long time, he suddenly stood up and walked to the edge of the bed. Gently patted Yang Shouwen's shoulder.
Yang Shouwen opened his eyes. Seeing Gilda gesturing at him, he said, "Do you smell anything?"
"Big brother. What can smell like at night? ”
As Yang Shouwen spoke, he turned over.
But at this time, Dayu, who had been resting quietly on the shelf, suddenly became excited and wanted to fly.
Generally speaking, Yang Shouwen would not restrict Dayu's freedom.
However, since this is in the city, in order to prevent anyone from harming Dayu. After entering the room, Yang Shouwen tied the copper ring on the big jade with a body. Seeing that Dayu was a little excited, Yang Shouwen also sobered up, and hurriedly got out of bed to appease.
At this moment, I suddenly heard the sound of a suo in the next room, and it seemed that someone was moving.
However, the sound was weird, snapping, snapping...... The sound is small, but audible. Seems to be walking around in water stains.
Yang Shouwen's nose twitched, and his face suddenly changed.
He hurriedly turned around. He looked towards Jeddah, only to find that he had already picked up his spear.
The smell of blood!
That's right, it's the smell of blood, mixed with a faint, rather strange aura.
Gilda pushed open the window, dodged over the windowsill, and stood on the eaves outside the window. He made a gesture towards Yang Shouwen, Yang Shouwen nodded, turned around and walked to the door, and slowly opened the door.
The corridor was quiet, and at the end of the corridor, there was a young man napping.
He was very startled, and after Yang Shouwen opened the door, he immediately opened his eyes. was about to speak, but saw Yang Shouwen make a silent gesture at him, and then pointed to the next room. At the door of each guest room, there is an oil lamp, so Yang Shouwen's movements, the young man can see it clearly, he was stunned, and then nodded.
Yang Shouwen beckoned again and motioned for him to come over.
In the young man's heart, a feeling of unease suddenly arose.
He slowed down and walked over lightly.
From the Chase shop downstairs, there was a sound like thunderous snoring, accompanied by a faint dream sound.
Yang Shouwen and the little guy walked to the door of the guest room, then took out the waist knife and handed it to the little guy, but the little guy's face turned white.
What does this mean?
The young man originally thought that Yang Shouwen wanted to steal incense and jade.
But now it seems......
At this moment, an angry roar suddenly came from downstairs: "Xie Xiaoqi, what are you doing?" ”
The shopkeeper of the Guanqiao Pavilion was obviously also aware of the movement upstairs, so he stood downstairs and let out an angry roar.
Yang Shouwen knew that something was wrong, so without saying a word, he raised his foot and kicked on the door. The door was latched, but Yang Shouwen's kick used fifty percent of his strength, only to hear a loud bang, and the door was kicked out by him all of a sudden, and then he dodged into the guest room.
The room was black and empty, and I couldn't see my fingers.
Yang Shouwen rushed into the guest room and vaguely saw a figure next to the bed, so he rushed over without saying a word. The figure shook and rushed towards Yang Shouwen. Yang Shouwen raised his hand and was about to chop, but when his palm touched the man's chest, he was thrilled with a chill, and he hurriedly withdrew his hand and hugged the comer. The huge impact made him take a few steps back.
At the same time, a dark shadow burst out of the bed and headed straight for the window.
Bang!
The man smashed the window and burst out of the room.
"Light the lamp."
Yang Shouwen hugged the man, suddenly felt that something was wrong, and hurriedly shouted loudly.
The young man at the door also reacted at this time, and hurriedly removed the oil lamp from the lampstand next to the door frame and rushed into the room.
In Yang Shouwen's arms, there is a woman, the woman called Peach Blossom.
She was wearing a moon-white **, but half of her body was already stained red with blood.
On the bed, it was even more bloodstained.
Blood dripped down the bed and onto the floor, leaving a trail of blood.
"Murdered!"
When the young man saw this scene, he couldn't help but let out a scream.
At the same time, the shopkeeper also rushed upstairs, and after seeing the scene in front of him, he was stunned and at a loss.
Yang Shouwen put the peach blossom on the floor and reached out to test her snort.
At the same time, there was a sound of fighting outside the house, apparently the killer had been stopped by Jeddah.
"It's dead, report it."
Yang Shouwen withdrew his hand, turned his head and said to the shopkeeper at the door.
"Huh?"
The shopkeeper's mind went blank and froze in place.
Yang Shouwen ignored him and said to the young man, "What's your name?" ”
"Villain, villain's name is Xie Xiaoqi."
"Very good, go and stand at the door, no one is allowed to come in until the official arrives, if anyone wants to use force, don't be polite."
Xie Xiaoqi's head was a little wooden at this time, and he responded mechanically, turned around and walked out.
"Give me the lamp."
Yang Shouwen walked over, took the oil lamp from him, and then lit the oil lamp in the room.
The line of sight suddenly became much clearer. He looked around the room with an oil lamp, his nose twitching twice at the same time, and his brow furrowed.
"What's wrong with Peach Blossom?"
Just then, there was a commotion outside.
Ji Laoshi and the others also woke up and ran up from downstairs.
"Xie Xiaoqi, stop them."
"Yes."
Xie Xiaoqi also came to his senses at this time, and as soon as his fingers pressed the tension spring, he pulled the knife out of the sheath. (To be continued......)
