Chapter 39: The Murder
"Shhhh Lao Wu responded softly and beckoned Qi Lu to come and see.
Qi Lu couldn't help but be stunned for a moment, but he still couldn't hold back his curiosity and looked in through the hole, and sure enough, as Lao Wu said, a girl was sleeping on the bed.
Qi Lu was suddenly a little embarrassed, for fear that the woman would wake up and find herself peeping at her, so he hurriedly pulled Lao Wu aside and said, "Since people are resting, let's go back." ”
"Since they haven't gone out, they can't all be sleeping, let's go look at the other rooms."
Qi Lu didn't expect Lao Wu to be so stubborn, so he had to follow him to another room. When I reached the hallway, I saw a woman leaning against a pillar. Take a closer look, isn't she Zhao Xiaohong? Qi Lu was overjoyed, and hurriedly greeted with a smile: "Miss Zhao, what are you doing here?" ”
Zhao Xiaohong didn't say a word, her eyes stared straight at herself. Qi Lu couldn't help but wonder a little, so he coughed dryly, but Zhao Xiaohong didn't react, as if there was nothing in his eyes.
Qi Lu simply called her a few times, but there was still no response, and Lao Wu behind him noticed that something was wrong with the situation, and complained in a low voice: "Isn't it possible to die?" ”
Zhao Xiaohong still didn't move like a dumb person, Lao Wu suddenly became a little impatient, walked forward quickly, reached out and patted her shoulder, and with a "bang", Zhao Xiaohong's body fell softly.
"How so!" Qi Lu's mind was blank, and he subconsciously picked up Zhao Xiaohong and found that her body was already cold.
At this moment, Qi Lu couldn't control his emotions and shouted: "Come on, come on!" The frenzied cry went unanswered, and there was a dead silence around them, chilling like the Netherworld.
"Stop yelling!" Old Wu Tieqing leaned down with a blushing face, and stretched his fingers in front of Zhao Xiaohong's nose, but he didn't feel any signs of breathing.
"She's dead!" Lao Wu stood up in frustration, his eyes were already looking around vigilantly, and suddenly, he kicked open the door of the side room on the side, and the person swept in like a goshawk!
This was the boudoir of one of the women, and as expected, the owner of the boudoir was in a dead sleep wrapped in gold thread.
Lao Wu, who entered the door, knew that something was wrong, couldn't help sighing, stepped forward and lifted the quilt, and found that the girl was unconscious like a dead person.
She ...... Wouldn't it be dead too? Qi Lu, who followed Lao Wu into the room, still couldn't believe his eyes, and he grabbed the girl's wrist in a trembling sound. This hand has no temperature like a dead man, and Qi Lu's fingers are pressed on her veins, and she can't feel the breath of life beating in her pulse.
Qi Lu's scalp suddenly exploded, and after being stunned for a while, he suddenly woke up, walked out with a gloomy face, and kicked open the door of the adjacent room like Lao Wu did, and went to see another girl sleeping on the bed.
The second, the third...... I looked at five or six rooms in a row, and all of them were dead.
"Why is this happening?" He blurted out an exclamation, his whole body was numb, there were no injuries on the bodies of these girls, there were no traces of a fight at the scene, their facial expressions were calm, as if they had been euthanized collectively. This quiet aura of death made Qi Lu feel frightened, a group of people who were still alive a few days ago, how could they say that they were dead?
Still clinging to the last shred of hope, he quickly walked around the courtyard and searched all the rooms. By the time he stopped, Lao Wu had already come to his side with a frown.
"Are they all dead?"
"Yes." Qi Lu replied weakly, except for Qi Jinghan, the other girls all died on the bed. It was nothing short of a horrific massacre, a horrific act. These innocent girls pose no threat to anyone here, who is ruthless enough to do this?
"Inhuman animals, who is so mad!" Qi Lu almost fell into madness, and his voice became hoarse because of it.
No one could answer, and Lao Wu also had no answer, so he had to sigh and say, "I have checked, the girl's death time is no more than half an hour, it seems that we are late." ”
Qi Lu nodded silently, he really couldn't forgive himself, because he had promised Zhao Xiaohong's mother, Widow Zhu, to bring her daughter back safely, but the reality was mercilessly slapping her face.
"Well, won't you wake up?" A coquettish shout suddenly sounded, and the two turned around in shock, only to see Manzhu leaning on the threshold, his eyes full of mockery.
Qi Lu was shocked, and hurriedly whispered to Lao Wu: "I'll hold her back, you hurry up and find Chang'e to come for reinforcements." ”
Manzhu had already heard it clearly, and she couldn't help but smile. "Don't be nervous, I'm not here to fight you."
"You killed these girls, didn't you? Manzhu, aren't you afraid of being damned? ”
Qi Lu was furious, the golden rainbow sword had quietly appeared in his hand, and Lao Wu was also very nervous, holding the short knife.
"Look at what you said, I didn't kill these people." Seeing that Qi Lu was in a hurry, Manzhu couldn't help frowning, but immediately regained his calm expression.
"Hmph, you didn't kill it, could it be Chang'e who killed it?" Qi Lu was angry and said an angry word casually.
Unexpectedly, Manzhu actually nodded seriously and said, "Well, I think it's very possible." ”
"Fuck you, you're still framing someone at this point!" Hearing Manzhu's indiscriminate planting, Qi Lu couldn't maintain his demeanor anymore, and with a roar, the golden sword in his hand suddenly swung up, driving the air to make a dull whining sound, and a row of sword shadows danced straight towards Manzhu! Suddenly, Zhou Tian's sword shadow was like a wave coming, stronger than another, with overwhelming momentum.
"Yo, you seem to have gotten a little stronger when you're angry." Manzhu didn't care, just raised her jade hand, and dozens of vines suddenly drilled out of the ground in front of her body and swooped up, entangled Qi Lu who flew into the air, and then pulled him back to the ground and couldn't move.
Seeing that Lao Wu was about to help, Manzhu's eyes were cold, "This was not my hand in the first place, do you want to join in the fun?" ”
Lao Wu said coldly: "It's not you, who will it be?" ”
"I didn't see the murderer, how do I know who he is?"
"Bah, you're at the scene, even if you're not the murderer, you can't get out of it."
"According to your thinking, the two of you came before me, aren't you more suspicious of murder?"
"Manzhu, you are also a member of the Protoss, don't frame you!" Lao Wu also lost his good temper.
The two were arguing, and Manzhu suddenly smiled charmingly and put her jade finger on Zhu's lips. "Shhhh
"Damn, don't go, you still want to run away after killing someone......" Before Lao Wu finished speaking, he saw Manzhu's figure flying into the air. He couldn't catch up, and could only watch her disappear into the sky.
The vines that bound Qi Lu's actions also shrank back into the ground with Manzhu's departure, Qi Lu put away the golden rainbow sword, and said angrily: "Don't listen to her sophistry, if she wasn't a murderer, how could she appear here in broad daylight!" ”
Lao Wu didn't answer, he said thoughtfully: "What does she mean when she says someone is coming?" I didn't see anyone. ”
"Ahh An exclamation came from outside the door.
Qi Lu and Lao Wu frowned suddenly, and shouted in unison: "Who is it?" Get out of here, or don't blame me for being rude! ”
"I, I'm ......" I saw a woman slumped in the doorway, her face pale.
"Qi Jinghan?" Qi Lu was stunned for a moment, didn't she take care of Chang'e in Guanghan Palace? In surprise, Qi Lu stepped forward to help her up.
"You ...... Don't kill me......" Qi Jinghan was so frightened that he pushed Qi Lu away, and kept retreating.
Qi Lu was stunned again, but then realized that she dared to love herself, and she regarded herself as a murderer. "Miss Qi, don't be nervous, we are also new to ......"
At this moment, a noisy human voice came from outside, followed by a draped god general rushed in, and then more god generals and fairies rushed into the courtyard.
Qi Jinghan seemed to see a savior, and immediately ran behind a god general, and said in a trembling voice: "It's him, it's the two of them who killed it...... My friend! ”
"What did you say?" Qi Lu never dreamed that he was mistaken for a murderer, so he couldn't help but say sharply: "Miss Qi, I warn you, don't talk nonsense!" ”
The god frowned, then waved his hand, and the companions behind him rushed out to the room where the girls were resting, and in a moment they all came out with gloomy faces, and said to the chief god, "All men are dead, and none of them are alive." ”
The divine general's face also changed, and he said loudly: "Lord Lu, can you explain to us what is going on?" On the surface, he said politely, but his companions had already gathered and silently surrounded Qi Lu and Lao Wu.
"Ladies and gentlemen, I also just arrived, and when I entered the door, I found that something happened to the girls." Although Qi Lu's tone was calm, his heart was already in chaos, and he realized that the situation was very unfavorable for him.
"Did you see the murderer?"
"No, when I came in, there were only dead people, and I didn't find a single living mouth."
At this time, several fairies hugged Zhao Xiaohong's corpse, and when Qi Jinghan saw this tragic scene, she immediately burst into tears like pear blossoms, choking and unable to speak. The god looked down at the cause of death with a gloomy face, and then whispered to his companion next to him, "There are no scars, it is likely that he died of some kind of demon magic." ”
"What my brother said is very true." Another god general said, "It may also be an immortal spell, mortals will not have this ability." ”
Hearing what his companion said, the suspicion in the eyes of the god general became even thicker, he raised his head and said sharply to Qi Lu: "This woman is obviously not long dead, and the adult actually said that she didn't see any figure, how is this possible!" ”
"That's the way it is, so why should I lie!" Qi Lu's temper was not much better, and he replied coldly: "If I saw other people at the scene, I would have taken it a long time ago." ”
"I think adults are thieves with a weak heart, and they deny that they have killed people!" As God speaks, the encirclement closes even closer.
"I didn't do it in the first place, so why deny it."
"He's lying, he's lying!" Qi Jinghan suddenly screamed, pointed at Qi Lu and said, "I just saw him talking to Flower Fairy Manzhu just now, and that Immortal Venerable ran away as soon as he saw me coming!" ”
Qi Lu was anxious and angry, and hurriedly retorted: "I have nothing to do with her, and I don't know what Manzhu's intentions are here!" ”
"Oh, really?" There was a suspicious look in everyone's eyes, and the god general asked in a cold voice: "Manzhu is a rebel in the divine realm, is there any collusion between the adults and her?" ”
"She just said a few words to me, saying that she was not a murderer......" Qi Lu couldn't go on, he suddenly found that no matter how many languages he spoke, it would be useless, and he could only describe it darker and darker.
