Chapter 88: Exactly the same
When he was about to reach the door, Jin Lingluo leaned to the side, blocking the blue baby's view.
Boss Xing's body was still hanging upside down on the door, and there was a cut on his neck, where the blood should have flowed. However, there was not much blood on the ground, presumably because there had been a rainstorm last night, and the blood stains had been washed away.
Blue Baby can imagine that cruel picture even if she doesn't look at it, and she is very glad that His Royal Highness can block her in front of her, otherwise she will not be able to control her curiosity, and she will definitely have nightmares at night.
"The government handles the case, get out of the way." A loud voice suddenly sounded outside, and the noise stopped in an instant.
Jin Lingluo and Feng Wei were both standing at the door, and at a glance they saw several catchers coming over through the crowd, and the leader was the man they had all seen yesterday.
At that time, he changed into an official uniform, his posture was more upright and heroic, and his eyebrows were also full of righteousness.
This is the only person in the government who is still respected in Zhangcheng, the head catcher - Zheng Huaichi.
Zheng Huaiqi also saw Jin Lingluo and Feng Wei, his expression was slightly stunned, and various emotions flashed quickly in his eyes.
Surprised, inquired, speculated, guarded.
When the blue baby was taken to the Assassin's Mansion and put in prison, looking at His Highness and Feng Wei, who were also locked up next door, he couldn't cry or laugh for a while.
What's going on lately, either fleeing or being caught, are they here to patrol or to rob.
Judging from the current situation, they were mistaken for the suspects who killed Boss Xing, and His Highness neither explained nor identified them, so they should have had other plans a long time ago.
The people threw them into the cell and left, and the blue baby looked at the empty cells nearby, leaned over to the other side and asked, "This place seems to be more terrifying than the inn, Feng, uncle, what do you think of Boss Xing's death?" ”
Feng Wei listened to her address herself, her expression froze for a moment, and then she showed a smile on her face.
When he was at the inn just now, that Zheng Zhutou also misunderstood that Blue Baby and His Royal Highness were husband and wife, and became suspicious of their appearance in the city.
In that case, they naturally couldn't deny it anymore, and Feng Wei simply admitted that he was King Ling's brother.
Later, after some questioning by Zheng Zhutou, he suddenly realized something.
Yesterday, when His Royal Highness and Chu met Zheng Zhutou outside the city, His Royal Highness actually admitted that Chu was an insider.
At that moment, he completely believed that His Highness was not ordinary to Chu.
At this time, I heard Chu's stiff "uncle" again, and my heart was extremely sour.
"None of us heard anything suspicious last night......"
Lan Baobao interrupted him uncomfortably, peeked at King Ling not far away, and said, "I heard it." ”
Feng Wei looked at her in surprise.
Baby Blue recounts the strange sounds he heard in the lobby last night.
"As you can see, Boss Xing at that time had been hanged upside down by the murderer, and it is still impossible to conclude whether he is dead or alive." Feng Wei said.
When Baby Blue thought that when she stood in the lobby last night, there might be someone outside who was committing murder, maybe there was a corpse hanging there, or maybe someone there was going through the process of forced death, but because her throat and major artery were cut and she couldn't call for help, she suddenly felt a chill all over her body.
"Before I went downstairs, we didn't hear any movement downstairs, how did the murderer quietly take a big living person out of the inn? Knocked out? In order to dispel the fear in his heart, the blue baby quickly found another topic.
"In addition to knocking out, the murderer may also be someone Boss Xing knows, so he will follow out defenselessly." Feng Wei responded.
"Could the murderers who killed Boss Xing this time be those people from twenty years ago? Why kill him at this time? Blue Baby asked.
"The method is the same, and the others are not yet certain." Feng Wei replied.
The blue baby sat down with his back to them, and muttered: "I hope that the head catcher is really like the people of Zhangcheng, and he can find the real murderer as soon as possible." ”
Feng Wei was thinking about another thing in his heart, the things that happened yesterday had made Zheng Zhutou suspicious of them.
And the people of Zhangcheng also think that they killed Boss Xing, if Zheng Zhutou believes and listens to them, coupled with suspicion of them, I am afraid that in the end, the murder will really be deducted from them.
"In the future, maybe someone wants to use Boss Xing's death to get rid of us." Jin Lingluo suddenly spoke.
Startled, the blue baby quickly turned to look at them.
"Don't be afraid, it's just a guess." Feng Wei comforted her.
After the people of the yamen arrested them, they never appeared again, and they did not interrogate or extort confessions, so they hung them out.
Until the second night, the blue baby finally fell asleep in various worried emotions, and suddenly heard footsteps approaching in the haze.
She suddenly became agitated, sat up and looked at King Ling.
The latter had apparently noticed the movement as well, and his deep gaze was fixed on the dark hallway.
The person who came seemed to have deliberately lightened his steps, but because the cell was too large and spacey, and it was late at night, the footsteps were invisibly amplified.
The three of them held their breath and stared, and the blue baby thought, did the yamen want to interrogate someone in the middle of the night? Will you directly go to torture to extract a confession?
If she was the first to be raptured, she wouldn't be able to bear it at all, and she would confess her guilt in a daze.
The more Blue Baby thought about it, the more nervous he became, the sound of his footsteps getting closer and closer, and a figure gradually came out of the darkness, and they slowly saw the appearance of Rao clearly by the not-so-bright light in front of the cell door.
"Zheng Zhutou?" Feng Wei took the lead in getting up, walked over to salute, and observed with a wrong eye, and there was no one else on the other party.
Zheng Huaiqi looked at the three of them, hugged his fists and said, "I have wronged the three of them, please come with me." ”
Listening to his polite words, the three of them were a little confused.
Zheng Huaiqi didn't want to explain more, raised his hand to open the doors of the two cells, Lan Baobao hesitated slightly, and when she was about to walk out, she suddenly felt someone gently tugging on her sleeve.
When she looked back, it was His Royal Highness King Ling, and the other party was also looking at her, and shook his head slightly at her.
At this time, Feng Wei had already taken the lead in walking out, stood outside for a while, and after making sure that there was really no one nearby, he turned his back and gestured to King Ling.
Jin Lingluo patted Lan Baobao's arm lightly, and the two walked out one after another.
Zheng Huaiqi came alone to pick up people, and he didn't go anywhere for no reason.
They followed all the way and found that there were no guards in the prison, and there was no one outside the prison. It was dark all around, and the few lanterns were not lit, and everything seemed very quiet and eerie.
Blue Baby subconsciously followed King Ling, observing the movements around him from time to time.
As soon as they walked out a short distance, Feng Wei stopped and asked, "What does Zheng Zhutou mean?" Sneak us out, and if you can't tell us your intentions, we won't be able to cooperate. ”
As soon as he stopped, the rest of the group paused. Lan Baobao walked at the back, and when he was distracted, he didn't check for a while, and directly bumped into King Ling's back.
With a solid bump, she even heard a sound, and it immediately hurt her nose and headache, and she couldn't help but gasp.
Just when she was at her most uncomfortable, she suddenly felt a hand touch her forehead and gently rubbed it a few times, as if to comfort her.
The blue baby's face suddenly turned red, where did it hurt to feel like a girl, and his heart was about to jump out of his mouth. There is still a remnant of the breath of a man on his forehead, and the wisps are drifting away, making people even more flustered.
Zheng Huaiqi saluted Feng Wei and Jin Lingluo, and said in a slightly eager tone: "This matter is a long story, the three of you believe me, I will not harm you." ”
"What guarantees?" Feng Wei frowned.
Zheng Huaiqi was speechless by his question, and the expression on his face was obviously anxious, not knowing how to explain it to them.
It's right to think about it, he caught them in, and it's normal for them not to believe him.
"Time is pressing, it's too late, I just tell you, if you don't come with me, you will be guillotined tomorrow, and think about it."
Feng Wei looked back at King Ling.
Jin Lingluo observed Zheng Huaiqi for a moment, and finally said, "Let's go." ”
Zheng Huaiqi immediately breathed a sigh of relief and continued to lead the way in front.
Lan Baobao was still at a loss, and suddenly felt that someone was holding her hand, she was shocked to widen her eyes, looked down for a long time, and finally dared to confirm that it was really King Ling who was holding her.
In the darkness, she heard her heartbeat getting louder and louder, but the person in front of her walked calmly and calmly like someone who had nothing to do, only the hand and the broad back silently protected her invisibly, giving her an indescribable blessing of safety
Since when did Her Highness become more and more considerate to her, always aware of her emotions, whenever she is afraid, His Highness can always drive away the fear and uneasiness in her heart in time.
Lan Baobao's mind had been completely controlled by King Ling, and she was thinking about the other party's affairs all the way, speculating about his thoughts, until the person in front of her suddenly stopped and her hand was released, and she suddenly came back to her senses.
When I looked up, I saw them standing outside an unfamiliar courtyard.
The three walls of the courtyard were low, and she could see the inside at a glance only to her shoulder.
A very ordinary house, it can even be a little simple, but because the color is too dark, you can only see the general outline of the house, but you can't see the whole picture.
"This is the next quarters, let's go in first." Zheng Huaiqi arched his hand, pushed open the door, and invited them in.
Feng Wei and Jin Lingluo glanced at each other, without saying a word, and walked in one after another.
Zheng Huaiqi led them into the hall and closed the door before lighting the candles.
They had been in the dark for a long time, and suddenly there was a light and they were a little uncomfortable.
The blue baby covered his eyes for a while, and when he opened them again, he could finally see the whole picture of the house, which was indeed a little shabby.
Except for the furniture, there were only knives and bows and arrows hanging on the walls.
Although Zheng Huaiqi is a head catcher, he is not a serious official, and according to the regulations of the imperial court, his reward will not be much. It is not an exaggeration to live in such a modest house.
"The three of you, please sit down, I can only grieve you to rest here tonight, and when the city gate opens tomorrow, I will send the three of you out of the city." Zheng Huaiqi finished his seat and poured three more glasses of water for them.
They thanked them, but didn't touch the glass.
"Now that we're here, it must be safe, Zheng Zhutou can tell us the reason, right?" Feng Wei opened his mouth again.
Zheng Huaixuan sat down after finishing everything, looked at the three of them and explained: "It's not a secret, another person died in the city last night, this time it was the shopkeeper of the restaurant, and it was exactly the same as Boss Xing's death." ”
"The shopkeeper of the restaurant?" Feng Wei's face was stunned.
Zheng Huaixuan nodded, "According to the guys there, you have been to their restaurant, and it is also the place where this son stayed before. ”
The blue baby secretly clenched his hands, so coincidentally, people would die everywhere they went.
"According to what Zheng Zhutou said, then didn't we clear our suspicions, and when the restaurant shopkeeper was killed, we were all in prison." Feng Wei said with a smile.
