At the entrance of the bustling alley of Beishi, a group of people sat around the round table of the noodle restaurant, eating noodles "whirring".

Xie Lingxu buried himself in the steaming bowl and "whirred" the noodle soup, the heat of the oil soup hit his face, and after a while, he spent a face of fat powder, revealing a little woman's appearance.

Wang Siwen, who was separated from Xie Lingxu by Chu Xiu, solved a bowl of clear soup noodles, put down his chopsticks, and crossed Chu Xiu to hand Zhang Baijuan to Xie Lingxu, who was concentrating on eating noodles with his legs crossed

Xie Lingxu didn't know, so he stared at him, "?? ”

King You said lightly: "Face." ”

“？？ …… Oh......" Xie Lingxu suddenly remembered that he was still wearing makeup, so he took Bai Juan, thinking that King You was quite particular, and said thank you, and wiped his face clean with Liang Baikai in front of him.

Xie Lingxu wiped off the messy fat powder on his face twice, casually put the powder-stained Juan towel to the table, and then buried his head and continued to eat noodles.

King You looked at Xie Lingxu's fair side face, a drop of sweat rolled down his sideburns, slid straight down the smooth jawline to his chin, and narrowly stopped crumbling, and when he landed, Chu Xiu suddenly straightened up and blocked his vision.

The king turned his head stupidly and coughed a few times uncomfortably.

After the meal was full and the energy was sufficient, everyone went straight to the Nine Governors' Gate.

Since the incident of this morning's porcelain vase, Xie Lingxu has felt a little uneasy, feeling that if he doesn't solve the case quickly, he is likely to be killed next. The reason for Yun Niang's murder was obviously a vendetta, but I don't know why the murderer suddenly pointed the finger at herself.

Just thinking about his thoughts, Xie Lingxu followed Chu Xiu and the others on the side with a distracted expression.

The crowd in front of them suddenly burst into flames, and a man who looked like a merchant rode straight forward on horseback

"Dodge the ......, dodge the ......"

From time to time, there was scolding from the crowd

"What kind of people, what kind of horses are riding on the streets."

"Crushed to death...... I don't have long eyes. ”

"Is that man sick......?"

“……”

“……”

The rider turned a deaf ear, and in a blink of an eye he was in front of him

"Get out of the way...... Get out of the way ......"

Xie Lingxu casually stepped to his side, thinking that he would not be bumped into by a distance of half a foot.

Unexpectedly, the expression of the person on the horse changed, he sneered and showed his sharp fangs, and immediately pulled out the machete hidden on the horse's back, and slashed straight at Xie Lingxu......

The flashing blade was chasing the wind and lightning, Xie Lingxu was unexpected, his mind was blank, and he was caught off guard and dodged back, the sharp blade between the lightning and flint stabbed obliquely across his right arm, Xie Lingxu felt that the skin texture was cut straight, and in an instant, something in the arm could not help but flow out.

Before the pain could reach the nerves, Xie Lingxu took a step back sharply and turned sideways, fortunately avoiding the fatal blow of the machete.

didn't have time to come back to his senses, Xie Lingxu's body was supported from behind, and Xiao Qixin asked eagerly behind him:

"How are you?"

Chu Xiu pulled out his sword angrily: "I'll chase it!" ”

Xie Lingxu raised his eyes and saw a white shadow galloping in the direction of the horse rider with Chu Xiu, and thought to himself, make a move so quickly...... The murderer can't wait?

The noise of the market suddenly erupted

"Murdered...... Killed ......"

"Even the people in the palace dare to kill ............"

"It's so rampant............"

"It's just lawless, and there is no royal law......"

"It's changed, it's changed...... This world is going to be chaotic......"

The world is going to be in chaos...... The world is going to be in chaos...... Xie Lingxu thought to himself.

The sharp pain in his right arm hit, and he couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat, and Xie Lingxu scolded him...... I secretly wonder how long the wound on my mother's right hand has healed, how can this be cut again!

Their own fragile and sensitive nerves indicate the need for a dozen ibuprofen.

Xie Lingxu pushed away Xiao Qixin, who was supporting him, and stood firmly: "I can still stand up." ”

Xiao Qixin: "What's going on?" Is someone really going to kill you? ”

"I'm afraid so."

Xie Lingxu covered the bleeding wound and said, "Give me some gauze or something to stop the bleeding, this thing keeps coming out." ”

Xiao Qixin realized it later, and borrowed some gauze from around for Xie Lingxu. Xie Lingxu lowered his head and straightened the torn sleeve, wiped the blood overflowing inside, and saw that the wound was only about one centimeter deep, so he wrapped the cloth towel around his right arm a few times.

Chu Xiu and King You rushed back from a distance, and Xiao Qixin stepped forward and hurriedly asked:

"How's it going, did you catch it?"

Chu Xiu took a breath, his waist was a little excited, and his hand was pointing in the air:

"That man is a dead man, just about to be caught, he killed himself, there is no clue on his body, his grandmother's!"

Xie Lingxu's expression was indifferent, and he calmly analyzed:

"I think...... Murderers buy murderers, it's illogical, right? He can pay for the dead, is this how the people before him were killed? It's also too strange to fit the psychology of a person bent on revenge. ”

Chu Xiu looked at Xie Lingxu's arm that couldn't help but bleed out, and just wanted to say something, but heard her continue:

"Besides, it shouldn't be ordinary people who can hire dead soldiers, but why would a person in a high position kill so many lowly people?"

Chu Xiu couldn't stand it, so he opened his mouth to interrupt her: "Uh...... Lingxu, your hand ......"

"Are you sure he's really a dead man? Could it be just an ordinary person who doesn't want to die, taking people's money to eliminate disasters for others? But I think he's pretty good, like he's been specially trained......"

"Your hand is bleeding, let's go check it out first." King You said lightly.

Xie Lingxu looked down at his right arm, only to see blood staining his hand, dripping from his fingers one after another.

Groove ...... Is the coagulation function of labor and management so poor?

Xiao Qixin: "Isn't it painful for you to cut down with such a long machete?" ”

Xie Lingxu pointed to his head: "Why doesn't it hurt, don't you see my cold sweat?" ”

"Let's go to the nearest medical clinic to bandage you first, I see that there seems to be a small medical clinic on the street in the past......"

"No, ......" Xie Lingxu pulled Xiao Qixin, who was running forward

"We ...... Go to the World Doctor's Center. ”

Xiao Qixin looked helpless: "No...... Why are we running so far? When you're gone, the blood will run dry! ”

Xie Lingxu raised his head: "I'll pick." The small clinic is unhygienic, what if you get infected with AIDS? ”

"What?" Xiao Qixin didn't know why.

"Go to the World Doctor's Hall, I have something to ask, and the bleeding on my arm has stopped, you see......"

Xie Lingxu raised his hand, and Xiao Qixin said helplessly:

"Gotta ...... Take your go! ”

On the way to the World Medical Center, knowing that he was the next target, Xie Lingxu no longer dared to risk his life and habitually walked outside the team, surrounded by the big men around him, Xie Lingxu relaxed and thought about things: I felt that this mysterious case had an obvious feature - chaos, not ordinary chaos, the motive for the crime was not clear, the relationship between the characters was not clear, and it was like a mess when investigating the case. It seems that I managed to grab a few threads from a ball of yarn, and when I pulled them out, I found that there were no two threads on the same thread at all.

The fragmented chain of relationships does not seem to be able to form a single thread at all...... But perhaps, there can be another meaning—all the complexity, overlapping and weaving into a larger and more hidden net......

Zhishi Medical Center——

Doctor Zhou looked at the uninvited Underworld Army again, the impatience on his face was already obvious, and he said indifferently:

"Why are you again?"

Chu Xiu scratched the back of his head, and his attitude was very modest: "This shouldn't be the last time, someone was injured again, please ask Doctor Zhou for your rescue." ”

Dr. Zhou strode over, and saw that the injured person was a young girl, and his eyes softened a lot.

He took some gauze, iodine and wound medicine, and carefully treated Xie Lingxu's wounds.

Xie Lingxu sat quietly and did not make a sound, looking at Zhou Shouyan's skillful techniques and being a little distracted.

"How did you get hurt?"

"Oh...... Accidentally, someone cut ......"

Xie Lingxu saw a trace of tenderness flowing in Dr. Zhou's eyes, and said softly:

"Little girls should learn to take care of themselves and not take risks to do things that are too dangerous."

His attentive expression is like that of an elder who cares about his juniors, or rather...... Like a father who feels sorry for his daughter.

Xie Lingxu couldn't help but let out a "hmm".

"The wound is treated, usually pay attention to a light diet, be careful with your arm when moving, apply the medicine to you twice a day, and take the medicine to the counter for a while."

"Yes."

Xie Lingxu stood up and took advantage of Dr. Zhou's prescription to wander around the World Healing Pavilion.

The outside of the Zhishi Medical Center is a shop for people to see a doctor and grab medicine, and there is a room for accommodation in the room, and it seems that Dr. Zhou eats, lives and works in this medical hall on weekdays.

looked at Ning Jun, who was talking to Zhou Shouyan lightly, and thought to himself that he said that he was the righteous son of Dr. Zhou, and the two should eat and live together, get along day and night, and the current relationship is about eight or nine inseparable from the family. However, looking at Dr. Zhou's appearance in his forties, doesn't he have his own family? Why is there only this righteous son of his own in the hospital, he has no wife and no children of his own?

Could it be that Zhou Shouyan is a ...... Older leftover men? But in this kind of place, there should be no one who can't meet the right person, if it is not a problem with sexual orientation, a person like Dr. Zhou, who is also a big family, should not have a problem finding a partner, but he does not see that he has a wife, then there are generally two possibilities: First, the person he loves does not love him, or marries someone else, so Dr. Zhou decides not to marry for the rest of his life. As for the second type, Dr. Zhou has a wife, but it's just ......

Xie Lingxu walked to the hidden corner of the Zhishi Medical Hall, and saw a mahogany square table in the corner of the wall, neatly placed incense burners, wax rods and fruit plate cakes, and the words "The Spirit of the Deceased Wife Zhang Ye" were engraved on the top of the tablet.

The incense case is placed here, and the offerings on the table look very fresh, and the incense burned in the incense burner seems to have just been extinguished......

"Girl......"

Xie Lingxu's back was numb, and he turned around and saw Doctor Zhou walking towards him, with a slight glimmer in his eyes.
