Chapter 18: The Strings of Jin Se (7)

Unknowingly, when it was lunch time, Boss Qi wanted to invite Gu Peiqing and Shen Feiming to dinner, but both of them said that they would go to the Criminal Department to have a look, but they kept refusing. Boss Qi knew that the two of them wanted to exchange views and couldn't let others disturb them, so he stopped insisting and sent them to the door with a thousand thanks.

Seeing that Gu Peiqing and Shen Feiming were leaving, Almond said goodbye to the two guard brothers familiarly. Shen Feiming took out a tael of silver from his purse and gave it to almonds and said, "You go to investigate the case on West Third Street half a month ago, and see what the neighbors say, this is your meal money, eat a good meal, go quickly." ”

Almond was stunned by the tael of silver: "Miss, you just drove me away like this?" You're completely a man, didn't you just go to listen to the monk's lecture yesterday, saying that you should be pure and have few desires, so you can't, I want to accompany you and supervise you. ”

Shen Feiming waved his hand irritably and said, "What are you supervising me?" You little girl, are you going? If you don't pay me back, you can buy food yourself. ”

Almond hurriedly stuffed the silver into his arms: "Go, go, I'll go, I'll definitely ask you clearly." ”

Watching Almonds walk away, Gu Peiqing was a little speechless, and he said, "Are all your maids like this?" It's not big or small, and so is your sister's maid. ”

"You said walnuts, walnuts are really not big or small, she even dared me to train, my sister gave her courage."

"Talking while eating?" Gu Peiqing pointed to Yunxiang Building.

Shen Feiming shook his hand and said, "You are not familiar with the city, I'll take you to a delicious one." ”

As a result, the two of them walked around and sat down in a small shop at the entrance of an alley, and the sign of the small shop read "Bai's Noodle Restaurant". Gu Peiqing was really curious, and asked, "The second lady of the Shen Xiang family would come to eat in this kind of place?" ”

"Then you say this, but you take me Shen Feiming lightly, what's the meaning of eating all kinds of things with those eldest ladies, this small alley is the smell of fireworks, the real taste. My dad doesn't care about me, I run around outside, so I know all the delicious food in the city, of course, except for the city, I know the surrounding small towns. ”

"Miss Shen, you haven't been here for a long time." A curtain was lifted in the store, and a middle-aged woman came out enthusiastically. When she looked at Gu Peiqing, the hand that lifted the curtain paused, "I also brought a friend." ”

"Aunt Bai, this is Gu Peiqing, we want two bowls of beef noodles."

"Okay!" Aunt Bai answered, and after retreating the curtain, she began to fiddle with ping-pong.

"Tell me what you think." Shen Feiming added tea to Gu Peiqing.

"What I'm seeing now is a mess, first from the motive point of view, I can't find the reason why the people in the Red Leaf Building killed Xiao Gongzi; Then from the point of view of the method, Xiao Gongzi drowned, why did the murderer spend such a big price to drown Xiao Gongzi to death, but there is still another meaning for Bu Buyun; In the end, if the murderer is a person in the building, how did he manage to kill and escape under the nose of the red silk girl, and if he is an outsider, why did he choose the Red Leaf Building, is there a unique feature that can achieve the homicide, or is there another purpose. ”

Shen Feiming nodded and agreed, "I still have to go to the Criminal Department to look at the file and the physical evidence they took, and ask Miss Hongsi about the situation at that time." ”

"Here comes the noodles." Hearing this, the two stopped discussing, and the woman happily brought two bowls of noodles, the beef slices on which were cut very thinly, layered, and put together with red peppers and shallots, and a golden tiger skin egg, which looked mouth-watering. The woman did not return behind the curtain, but sat at another table and looked at Shen Feiming and Gu Peiqing.

Gu Peiqing met Aunt Bai's gaze and asked, "Aunt Bai, is there anything on my face?" He also touched his face.

The woman smiled brightly and said, "Every time Miss Shen brings over the teenager, he looks so good. ”

"Dare to ask how many men did Miss Shen bring?"

Shen Feiming was caught off guard by this sudden question, she hurriedly swallowed the noodles in her mouth, and said, "Aunt Bai, what are you talking about, I have brought such a handsome son, okay, if I continue to talk like this, I will lose my reputation." ”

"Yes, yes, I misremembered." The woman's eyes narrowed, and she said, "I'm going in, and I'll call me again if there's something." ”

"Don't believe it, Aunt Bai is talking nonsense, just make fun of me." Shen Feiming took another big mouthful of noodles.

"I'm so smart, I can figure out how many sons you've brought with me." Gu Peiqing slapped the folding fan on the palm of his left hand and smiled evilly.

The two of them ate and drank to their heart's content, rode their respective horses and ran to the punishment department, it was already noon, the spring light was scattered, and most of the people entered the spring sleepy stage, and began to enjoy the afternoon nap. The alley was empty, and there was no one in sight. Suddenly, four black-clad masked men flew down directly from the walls of nearby houses.

Gu Peiqing and Shen Feiming were both shocked, and the sharp blades that fell from the sky to avoid the man in black rolled down from their horses. Gu Peiqing has never liked to practice martial arts, and at this time, his intestines are about to regret it, not to mention Shen Feiming, she can only jump up and down, and if she competes seriously, she will only have a few simple moves, and she is still soft.

The three black-clothed people went towards Gu Peiqing, and one clamped Shen Feiming, Shen Feiming obviously felt that the other party did not intend to hurt her, the sharp blade had never slashed at her, and the seemingly extremely dangerous moves finally turned into invisible. This is not the case with Gu Peiqing over there, he picked up the bamboo plate that the residents put on the side of the road to dry beans, and blocked those cold light sword qi, but the other party obviously wanted to kill him, and the sword stabbed at the vital part.

"Feiming, go quickly!" He stayed away from Shen Feiming while blocking it, trying to lure the man in black away from Shen Feiming. Shen Fei clearly understood what he meant, and ran in his direction. The two were back to back, and the four men in black surrounded them. "Four heroes, if you have something to say, I have only been in the city for a long time, and I shouldn't have caused any trouble in the city, and I would like to ask you to explain it, so that my death can be clear." Gu Peiqing immediately lowered his voice and said, "I'll run to this small courtyard on the left later, you can see that his door is not locked." Did you hear you running towards the mouth of the alley? They wanted to kill me even more. ”

"No, you're going to die."

"I have my way, you can run over with confidence, after the entrance of the alley is the street, there are a lot of people there, you call someone over again, understand?"

"You can't last that long."

Gu Peiqing's voice suddenly became lower, but he said extremely firmly: "Trust me." ”

A man in black spoke: "We collect money to do things, if Master Gu wants to know who he has offended, then go to hell first and turn into a ghost to ask my employer." ”

The four of them took out their swords at the same time, Gu Peiqing already knew that there was no way to avoid it, so he turned around and hugged Shen Feiming in his arms and protected her with his body.

Shen Feiming's liver and gallbladder were broken for a while, and he couldn't breathe.

Two more people flew down the wall, easily picked up the four swords, and approached the man in black with a dragonfly like a dragonfly, and the hilt of the sword hit the head, back and knee of the man in black in turn, and the four fell to the ground and cried out in pain.

Gu Peiqing let go of Shen Feiming, and when he turned around, he saw a man and a woman holding a long sword, about to lift the veil of the man in black. Those black-clothed people probably felt that these two people were indeed too powerful to escape, so they gave each other a look, gritted their teeth and poisoned the pill, and convulsed on the ground for a while, all of them were exhausted.

"Zhang Tong'er?" Shen Feiming looked at the sword-wielding woman and shouted.

Zhang Tong'er is heroic and cool, and he is indeed a military general. At this time, she raised her eyebrows and said to Shen Feiming: "Don't thank me, I don't want to save you." If my cousin hadn't struck the sword first, I'd have liked to see you die under the sword of these men in black. ”

Gu Peiqing bowed and said to the man: "Thank you two for saving me, this kindness Gu Peiqing is unforgettable, and I will definitely go to the house to thank you another day." ”

The man's face was cold, he glanced at Gu Pei Qing lightly, and then withdrew his gaze, he didn't bother to look at Shen Feiming, he put away his sword and walked straight to the mouth of the alley. Shen Feiming felt that this face was a little familiar, but in an instant, he thought that he was Zhang Tong'er's cousin, and he probably felt familiar because he looked a little similar to Zhang Tong'er.

Zhang Tong'er shouted: "Cousin wait for me," and turned his face back to Shen Feiming, and said in disgust: "This time you plan to harm this Lord Gu?" What do you want from him? What are you Shen Feiming that can't be used? After Zhang Tong'er finished speaking, she hurriedly ran in the direction of her cousin, leaving Shen Feiming and Gu Peiqing looking at each other.

Gu Peiqing patted Shen Feiming's sleeve and said, "Are you okay?" ”

Shen Feiming shook his head, and looked at Gu Peiqing's clothes distressedly, he was cut by the sword several times, not only how deep the wound was, but fortunately there was no heavy bleeding.

"It's okay, it's about the same as when my dad beat me at home, and if I don't beat my dad harder."

"No kidding, let's go back to see the doctor first, and then go to the criminal department."

Although the horses were frightened, they didn't run around, and the two quickly led the horses to the street, Gu Peiqing found a pharmacy and bandaged them, sure enough, they were all skin injuries, Gu Peiqing praised his flexible skills by the way.

"Could these masked men have anything to do with this case?" Shen Feiming asked.

"Possibly." Gu Peiqing said with a straight face: "Feiming, don't worry about this case anymore, it's very dangerous." ”

"You're more dangerous, so you shouldn't care about it. Those people in black are obviously coming for you, and now it can't be said that the assassination is related to the case, maybe it was you who caused trouble in Qingcheng, and chased all the way to Bingcheng, why can you take care of me?"

Gu Peiqing felt that Shen Feiming was reading a tongue twister, and hurriedly said, "You can manage it, you can manage it, but you must know it safely?" ”

"I know, I know, when I go out in the future, I will definitely ask the guards with strong martial arts to protect me. But Pei Qing, you are also very dangerous, I will also find you a guard. ”

"No need," Gu Peiqing suddenly thought about it, "I have to call my good friend in Qingcheng, Li Anyan, who is superb in martial arts, to protect me." ”
