Chapter 19: The Murderer Returns

When Qi Lu jumped on the wall, he saw a black shadow flashing in the distance and disappearing from his field of vision.

Qi Lu couldn't catch up, so he had to jump back in frustration.

"They are all dead, and among them are highly poisonous drugs that seal their throats with blood." Lao Wu looked at the three corpses of fox demons that revealed their original forms, and said with regret.

"Kill people?" Qi Lu muttered to himself, and then said to Lao Wu: "Find a place to bury them, and then let's go to Hu Yuxuan to see what is going on." ”

In the private club, Hu Yuxuan and Feng Qiniang were drinking tea and chatting, when they saw Qi Lu breaking in angrily, he hurriedly stepped forward and asked him earnestly: "Mr. Qi, who made you so angry, do you want your brother to vent for you?" ”

"No need." Qi Lu sat on the chair.

The atmosphere was a little awkward, and the waiter withdrew from the door after pouring tea for Qi Lu and the three of them.

Hu Yuxuan asked tentatively, "Did Mr. Qi cause any trouble?" ”

"Junin, do you know each other?"

"Oh, he is a fox demon who has been cultivating in his clan for eight hundred years, and he has been taking care of him by his clan uncle Hu Qingyun's side. However, after Uncle Clan fell ill, he suddenly disappeared, and I feared for his safety and sent people to find his whereabouts. Hu Yuxuan then asked, "Does Mr. Qi know Hu Ning's whereabouts?" ”

"Yes. However, he was killed by an unknown person, and the murderer also ran away. ”

"Bastard, someone dares to make trouble in my Semitic territory!" Hu Yuxuan took the case, then calmed down again, and asked Qi Lu about Hu Ning's death.

Qi Lu told him what had happened, of course, he hid it from Hu Yuxuan about going to Nujiao's shop, and then asked coldly: "I heard from your two subordinates that Hu Ning stole something and wanted to fly away, what is going on?" ”

"No, although we are fox fairies, the clansmen have not been a dog thief for hundreds of years." Hu Yuxuan flatly denied it, explaining: "I sent someone to find Hu Ning, on the one hand, I was worried about his safety, and on the other hand, because the attending doctor of the psychiatric hospital wanted to understand Uncle Zu's abnormal behavior before the onset of the disease, so as to find out the cause. But we rarely contacted Uncle Clan, and we couldn't answer the doctor's questions, only Junin knew him best. ”

Feng Qi Niang also said: "Qingyun chose Hu Ning to take care of his diet and daily life, also because he is loyal and honest, so it is impossible for him to steal!" It must have been those two subordinates who framed Junin behind our backs. ”

Qi Lu asked: "Why did they frame Junin?" ”

"I don't know about this, I have to send someone to investigate before I can find out the specific reason." Hu Yuxuan responded.

Qi Lu snorted in his heart, thinking that everyone is dead anyway, and it will be difficult for me to know the truth no matter what you say.

At this moment, a woman hurriedly walked in, she was the woman in blue who had fought with Qi Lu.

Seeing that Qi Lu and the others were also present, she couldn't help but be surprised, and then walked quickly to Hu Yuxuan's side and whispered a few words, Hu Yuxuan was shocked after hearing it.

"Mr. Qi is really a god, it turns out that he came to remind me today, but it's a pity that Hu is stupid and can't comprehend Mr.'s kindness."

"What's the matter, is something big going on?" Qi Lu saw Hu Yuxuan's panicked expression, so he asked him curiously.

"Alas, I'm slapping myself in the face, I just told Mr. that there are no roosters and dog thieves in my clan, but the treasure of the town clan was stolen."

"You, what a crow's mouth." Ding Xiaolan chuckled and whispered to Qi Lu.

Qi Lu's face was a little red, and he asked Hu Yuxuan, "May I ask what is the precious thing of this treasure of the Zhen clan?" ”

"Hu Ting'er, Mr. Qi is not an outsider, you can tell him about it." Hu Yuxuan said to the woman in blue.

"Yes, Patriarch." Hu Ting'er bowed to Qi Lu and said, "The person who cares for the treasure house just found out that the fox spirit bead was stolen. ”

"Fox Spirit Bead?"

"It is a jewel that can illuminate a place of more than ten meters in a dark room as bright as day"

"Isn't that the pearl of the night, although it is precious, it should not be regarded as the treasure of the town clan by you." Qi Lu thought to himself that the fox clan had accumulated many treasures for more than a thousand years, would they regard a night pearl as a treasure?

"In terms of commercial value alone, it is indeed nothing to us, but this bead is a gift from the old king of Qingqiu, Concubine Mo, to the first patriarch when the Semitic clan was established, so the meaning is different. There has long been an unwritten rule that only those who possess this bead can become the patriarch. ”

Qi Lu hurriedly asked Hu Yuxuan: "According to this, now the person who steals the pearl will replace you as the patriarch?" ”

"Sir is overthinking." Hu Yuxuan said with a smile: "It's all modern society, and we Semitic people should also keep pace with the times and abandon some old concepts, not to mention an unwritten rule." ”

"Mr. Hu is right, the position of the patriarch lies in character and prestige."

Hu Yuxuan said to Hu Ting'er in a deep voice: "Immediately block the news of the theft of the fox spirit bead, arrange for people to investigate the matter, and at the same time spread eyeliner at the railway station, long-distance bus station and airport, so as to prevent the thief of the pearl from fleeing the city." Remember not to make a noise about this, everything must be done in secret. ”

"Yes!" Hu Ting'er left the room to arrange related matters.

"How can I help you?" Qi Lu saw that Hu Yuxuan had resolved the predicament in front of him in just a few words, and he admired him very much for his demeanor as a general who was in danger.

"I won't bother Mr. Qi about this, I still hope that you can concentrate on investigating the cause of my father's death."

"Mr. Hu, please rest assured, I will do my best to investigate this matter." Qi Lu asked casually: "If you catch the treasure thief, I don't know what Mr. Hu will do?" ”

"For this kind of thief with wolf ambitions, Hu will never be merciful, and he will definitely be broken into thousands of pieces."

"In that case, I won't bother Mr. Hu, I'll leave first, and I'll come back to visit later." I don't know what the reason is, Qi Lu suddenly felt particularly disgusted by the murderous intent revealed in Hu Yuxuan's words.

"Okay, Aunt Seven, please send Mr. Qi for me."

The group went out of the private club, and after Aunt Feng Qi went back, Lao Wu asked Qi Lu: "We will go back to the company now?" ”

"No, we're going to go to the women's shop again."

"You still dare to go, and you're not afraid that Hu Lingyun will call us liars?" Ding Xiaolan snorted.

"Then I can only let her scold." Qi Lu grinned and said, "But when I tell her about Hu Ling's death, I believe she will have a different impression of me." ”

"It turned out that you wanted to deliberately reveal the news to see her reaction and look for favorable clues." Lao Wu immediately understood Qi Lu's intentions.

Qi Lu sighed: "I just don't know if she is willing to finish embroidering that painting for me." ”

"I'm afraid it depends on her mood." Ding Xiaolan said: "But before I left the store, I watched her embroider with a needle for half a minute, and it was like a flying needle, and the speed was amazing." With her skill, she could have completed the embroidery in two hours at most. ”

"Really?" Qi Lu groaned and said: "She dares to take this job, and she has no scruples to embroider in front of you, it seems that those embroidery drawings are all embroidered by herself." I'm really curious why she knows how to write the Divine Book, and when I see her later, I'll have to ask her face to face. ”

It's a pity that it backfired, and when Qi Lu and the three of them rushed to the antique store, they found that it was General Tie who guarded the door, and Hu Lingyun was nowhere to be found.

"Look at it, it's self-defeating, Miss Hu must treat us as villains, and she is so scared that she doesn't dare to open a store." Ding Xiaolan complained.

"No, we'll come back tomorrow." Qi Lu said to Lao Wu: "You can stay here and observe today, and by the way, find a nearby business to inquire about Hu Lingyun's details, and it is best to ask her home address." ”

"This Miss Hu's surname is Hu, will she also be a fox demon like Hu Yuxuan?" Ding Xiaolan's mind suddenly flashed with inspiration.

"It's unlikely." Qi Lu replied.

Lao Wu also answered: "With Qi Lu's experience and ability, no matter how good the monster is at hiding his demonic energy, it will be difficult to get along with him for a long time without revealing flaws. Besides, I don't see anything out of the ordinary, she's just an ordinary person, just like you. ”

Lao Wu's last compliment made Ding Xiaolan feel happy when she heard it, and a touch of red appeared on her face.

Qi Lu took the car key from Lao Wu and sat in the cab. Ding Xiaolan got in the car and asked, "Didn't you say that the shelves in Moqingcheng are very big, and when we go to his house, will he still not see customers?" ”

Qi Lu sneered and said: "Wait a minute, I will take out the jade pendant and show it to him, I don't believe in evil anymore, Hu Yuxuan's face can not be given, he can be so bold that he will not even sell Qianyehua's face!" ”

Ding Xiaolan nodded again and again and said yes, as the descendant of the former King of Qingqiu, there was absolutely no reason to go against the will of the King of Ten Thousand Foxes, Qianyehua.

Qi Lu galloped all the way to the community where Moqingcheng was located, and saw a group of people surrounding the downstairs of Moqingcheng from a distance, and there were several police cars parked on the side of the road next to him, he couldn't help but be shocked, and quickly found an empty parking space to stop, and got out of the car with Ding Xiaolan to see what was going on.

At this time, a policeman got out of a police car, Qi Lu opened his eyes to see that it was not Liu Chenfei, and hurriedly stepped forward to ask him about the situation.

"Alas, don't mention it, I received a call from the hospital saying that the neurotic surnamed Hu was prophesying that a man named Mo Chengcheng would be killed. I hurriedly deployed the police force to come here, but it turned out to be one step slower than the murderer, and Mo Chengcheng was already dead. ”

"What!" Qi Lu gasped when he heard this, this did not coincide with the time he had deduced that the murderer would only kill on the night of the full moon! He hurriedly asked Liu Chenfei to go to the scene to check.

"What are you making a fuss about!" Liu Chenfei said with an old face: "Don't interfere with the police investigation of the crime scene. ”

A few policemen carrying stretchers walked out of the corridor, and there was a white cloth on the frame, needless to say that it was the corpse of Mo Chengcheng, Qi Lu wanted to go up to see the excitement, but was dragged back by Liu Chenfei.

"I said Qi Lu, don't interfere with the police's case!" Seeing that Qi Lu's eyes were still looking in the direction of the stretcher, Liu Chenfei whispered to him: "If there is anything to talk about in a few days, you go back first and wait for my news." ”

Qi Lu heard the embarrassment in Liu Chenfei's words, so he had to go back in a huff, just when he took out the car key to open the door, he suddenly heard Ding Xiaolan scream, he quickly looked back and found that it was a young man who picked up rags and bumped into Ding Xiaolan.

The boy was about thirteen or fourteen years old, and although his face was dirty, his eyes were bright. He was holding a large garbage bag in his hand, and because his shirt was so wide, it was difficult for his hands to extend his sleeves.

At this moment, the young man had a panicked expression on his face, and he hurriedly apologized to Ding Xiaolan.

"Forget it, they didn't mean it." Qi Lu felt a little pity for this young man, seeing that he was dressed in rags, he must be a poor child from a poor family, or a homeless street child, Qi Lu didn't want to bully the weak and lack of morality.

Ding Xiaolan was kind-hearted, and she didn't care about the young man's reckless behavior, so she also got in the car and prepared to go back to the company with Qi Lu.

Inadvertently, Ding Xiaolan was stunned when she saw the young man limping past the car, because she found that the small muscles of the young man's legs were atrophied, and then she understood that the young man was a polio patient.

Ding Xiaolan's eyes couldn't help but moisten, and she hurriedly got out of the car and stopped the young man.

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I really didn't mean to." The young man was frightened, thinking that Ding Xiaolan wanted to trouble him.

Ding Xiaolan took out a hundred yuan and said softly: "You can use this money to buy something to eat." ”

The young man hesitated and didn't dare to answer, as if he didn't believe that Ding Xiaolan would be so kind. Finally, he stubbed his neck and said, "I'm sorry, I don't accept the food that comes from me." ”

Ding Xiaolan was stunned again, she didn't expect the young man's character to be so strong.

"Young man, who said that this money was for you, we use it to buy your garbage." At this time, Qi Lu got out of the car and relieved Ding Xiaolan.

"Buy my garbage?" The young man looked suspicious, thinking that he had met a mentally abnormal person.

"yes!" Qi Lucai didn't care what the young man thought of him, he took the money from Ding Xiaolan and forced it into the young man's hand, and then threw the bag of garbage into the trunk.

When Qi Lu's broken car left in front of the young man, the young man was still in a daze, but he was holding the red banknote tightly in his hand.

"I didn't expect you to be very sympathetic." Seeing the young man's figure disappear into his eyes, Ding Xiaolan praised Qi Lu.

"Average." Qi Lu parked the car nearby with a perfunctory sentence and threw the bag of garbage into the garbage can on the side of the road.
