Chapter 5: The Murderer Appears

The morning was dark, the sun had not yet risen, and the sycamore forest was dark and indistinct.

But Bai Hanyan could still feel a thin black shadow running quickly, this shadow came extremely suddenly, and flew over tightly grazing Bai Hanyan and Li Chengdu's side, and disappeared into the sycamore forest in an instant.

"What a speed!" Bai Hanyan couldn't help but be horrified, she had been practicing with her master for many years, although she didn't practice martial arts, she had a soft spot for light skills, but she had never heard of such a powerful light skill.

Li Chengdu Huo drew his knife out of its sheath, chased after the figure, and jumped back.

"Where did the man go?"

Li Chengdu kept looking around the sycamore forest, the black shadow that slipped past him just now was too fast, it disappeared in the blink of an eye, it was definitely not a speed that people could reach!

Before he could finish speaking, the black shadow suddenly appeared again, swirling between the trunks of the trees, like a ghost escaping from hell, and finally stopped on a large tree, suspended in the air.

"Bold thief, you finally showed up today, just arrest it." Li Chengdu shouted angrily, holding an official knife and flying towards the treetops.

And Bai Hanyan already had a plan in his heart, looked back at the woman who was dressed in a bewitching manner, and saw that although she was wearing heavy makeup, her eyes were still afraid but very clear, and there were bursts of herb fragrance on her body from time to time, and the corners of her mouth were slightly hooked: "The girl is a military doctor." ”

The woman's eyes were stunned: "How did Childe know?" ”

Bai Hanyan smiled lightly, and turned his eyes to look at Li Chengdu, who was entangled with the man in black, it turned out that he was a soldier pretending to be a prostitute, but he didn't expect to really attract a murderer.

It's just that the martial arts of the man in black are very weird, and he doesn't confront Li Chengdu head-on, but floats back and forth from the plane treetops, like a wind and lightning, and his body is like being wrapped in a strange black gas, Li Chengdu has never been able to catch up with him, and just about to catch up, he has been thrown out for a long time, as if he was deliberately teasing him.

Li Chengdu stood on the branch and was tired and panting, but the black shadow suddenly lay on the branch, like a wandering soul floating in the air, which made Li Chengdu afraid.

"You...... What the hell is it? ”

As he spoke, the black shadow flew straight towards Li Chengdu like an arrow from the string, and Li Chengdu was stunned for a moment, staring blankly at the black shadow that shot at him.

"Get out of the way!" Bai Hanyan reminded him loudly.

Li Chengdu woke up like a thunderbolt, his body slipped, and the whole person fell from the branch, and suddenly the sky swirled, but the black in front of him followed him like a shadow, and it was attached to him in an instant.

Li Chengdu couldn't bear it anymore, closed his eyes and shouted: "Help!" ”

And at this moment, Duan Changge flew from behind Bai Hanyan, and took out the long sword at his waist, the cold light of the sword body dissolved into one color with his ice eyes, and a clear sword roar slashed towards the black shadow, like a falling leaf rolling wildly, and the sky shook in horror.

And the black shadow was like the wind, swaying upwards in an instant, Duan Changge's eyes were full of light, and a little under his feet, the person was like a meteor angry arrow, shooting out of the air. The body was spinning sharply in mid-air, the sword body was swirling, and only two crisp sounds of "Dangdang" were heard, and the black shadow was firmly hit by him.

Seeing that the black shadow was broken up by Duan Changge's sword, he saw him flying left and right in the air, and the speed was dazzling, and he disappeared in the blink of an eye.

Duan Changge fell to the ground, his handsome face was slightly cold: "Search for me!" ”

With that, the adjutant general and a group of soldiers who followed hurriedly gave the order and searched the sycamore forest.

Bai Hanyan frowned, the scene just now was really weird, the speed of the black shadow was unbelievable, it was definitely not something ordinary people could do.

The soldiers searched the sycamore forest back and forth, but could not find even a trace.

"Impossible!" Li Chengdu was shocked but couldn't believe it: "He was injured, and it was impossible for him to disappear in an instant." ”

"Could it be that it's a ghost who kills people." The woman dressed as a prostitute trembled and was so frightened that her face was as white as paper.

Duan Changge's face was gloomy when he heard this, as if he was angered by this black shadow, he looked back at Bai Hanyan, and his eyes sank violently: "There are still nine days." ”

With that, he flicked his sleeves and left.

Bai Hanyan sighed slightly, but Li Chengdu on the side stomped his feet hatefully: "It's just a little bit, I'll catch him, sooner or later he will fall into my hands, I want to see if it's a human or a ghost?" ”

After that, he defiantly glanced at Bai Hanyan and left resentfully, and when everyone dispersed, the sycamore forest returned to calm in an instant, and all the voices disappeared. It was as if only the leaves of the sycamore trees were rattling in the air.

Bai Hanyan closed her eyes, only to feel a breath floating in her nose, and when the black shadow passed by her, she seemed to smell a strange smell on him.

Smell.

Yes, it's the smell of fishiness that only animals have.

Bai Hanyan opened her eyes and raised her legs to chase into the sycamore forest, she always believed that people had taken pictures, geese had left voices, even if they were hidden, they would still leave clues, such as smells.

Above the forest, a few rays of light had already penetrated the clouds, dyeing the sky with a touch of red, and the mist also followed, and the hidden smell of the wind carried the white cold smoke out of the sycamore forest.

The smell stopped abruptly.

At the end of the sycamore forest is a bamboo forest, in the morning mist only to see the green and upright green bamboo, like a warrior wrapped in armor, the white cold smoke slowly to the forest, the wind into the forest, the bamboo clusters in the middle of the road tremble, as if someone is lying on the top.

She walked cautiously, and suddenly remembered the shrill laughter that appeared in Harrier Zilin.

"Hey, hee!"

On the ground, the bamboo leaves on Bai Hanyan's head shook rapidly, she rolled around on the ground vigilantly, only to feel that someone hit her back hard, she snorted and looked up, only to see a shadow pass by, and the bamboo forest quickly returned to calm.

"Since you came, you came out to meet you, why hide."

As soon as the words fell, there was another shrill laughter around him, which sounded in the depths of the thick fog, making people feel a creep.

After the sound dissipated, there was no sound, and Bai Hanyan stood up, but there were waves in her eyes, because there was no smell of smell on the person who had just attacked her.

Thinking of the strangeness of the material official and the death of half of the people, Bai Hanyan suddenly had a bold guess in his heart.

There are two murderers!

Bai Hanyan decided to investigate the dead official Luan Ming and the prostitute, and came to Guiyang Juntun early in the morning.

The so-called military tun is no different from ordinary towns and villages, but it belongs to the military status, and the military tun system is the strategy of self-sufficiency of the Ming army, and the soldiers in peacetime also have to cultivate the fields to supply the huge expenses of the army.

As soon as Bai Hanyan stepped into the alley, he met the military doctor woman who had arrested the murderer with Li Chengdu yesterday and became a prostitute.

The woman looked up with the medicine box and saw Bai Hanyan slightly stunned, and after a while, she slowly hooked her lips and smiled: "It's you, Han Tuiguan." ”

Bai Hanyan was also stunned, and then hooked his lips lightly and said, "The girl knows me?" ”

The woman smiled brightly: "The son dares to confront the Dragon and Tiger General with his own strength, and the entire Guiyang City is afraid that he is the son of the Dukkai." ”

Bai Hanyan sighed lowly, if it is really a good thing not to go out, bad things spread thousands of miles.

"Girl, where are you going?"

The woman was very easy-going, and her eyes smiled like crescent moons: "Childe call me to save my son, I'm going to the sister-in-law of the Luan family." ”

Bai Hanyan looked at the medicine box in her hand, frowned and asked, "What's the matter, Mrs. Luan is sick?" ”

Wan'er covered her lips and smiled: "It's a joy disease." Then he sighed sadly: "It's a pity that Brother Luan can't see it." ”

"Familiar to you?" Bai Hanyan remembered that she helped Li Chengdu lure out the murderer regardless of the danger, and she should be very familiar.

Bang'er nodded, with a touch of sadness on her face: "We are fellow countrymen, and Brother Luan takes good care of me." ”

"How is he on a regular basis?"

"Brother Luan is very righteous and upright on weekdays, otherwise he wouldn't be reused by Lord Duan."

Bai Hanyan's eyes flickered in the distance: "I see." ”

Luan Ming's home is a very quiet bamboo building, Bang'er skillfully pushed open the door, Bai Hanyan followed behind, this courtyard is not big, but it is very simple, the vines in the courtyard are hanging lightly, a few bluestone benches, and there is a faint warmth flowing everywhere.

Bai Hanyan frowned without a trace, it seemed that Luan Ming was attentive to his home.

The wind chimes heard the sound and came out of the bamboo building, she was dressed in mourning clothes and looked tired, and when she saw Bang'er, her face was full of smiles, and she stretched out her hand slightly: "Bang'er is here." ”

Bang'er also reached out to hold her hand and sighed: "Sister-in-law, your fetal position is unstable, you should rest in bed more." ”

Feng Chime pursed his lips and shook his head, with sadness on his face: "I'm too bored myself." When he raised his eyes, he saw Bai Hanyan standing at the door frowning slightly, and said, "Who is this?" ”

"This is Han Tuiguan, who was sent by Lord Duan to arrest the murderer for Brother Luan." Bang'er hurriedly introduced, Bai Hanyan gave a slight salute, and said, "Han is polite." ”

Wind Chime's eyes flickered slightly, sighed, and said, "There is a new funeral at home, and it is inconvenient to entertain, so don't be surprised by Lord Han." ”

"It's okay, it's okay, I'm just asking a few words." Bai Hanyan waved his hand to show that he didn't mind.

A gust of breeze caressed, the wind chimes at the eaves corner jingled, as if a rhyme had been played, the wind chimes sat on the bluestone bench, glanced at the wind chimes at the eaves, and then lowered his head and said: "The death of the prince is rumored to be a ghost in the neighborhood, I don't know what Lord Han wants to ask?" ”

"Madame, don't be surprised, rumors are just rumors, I don't think Madame believes that her father-in-law was killed by a ghost."

The wind chimes opened their lips to say something, but they didn't say a word.

"I just want to ask how long you have been married, and how is the relationship between husband and wife?" Bai Hanyan's gaze also fell on the wind chime, as if asking casually.

Feng Chime was slightly stunned: "Lord Han, is this related to the case?" ”

Bai Hanyan pursed his lips and smiled, a pair of eyes flowing with a strange brilliance in the sun: "It doesn't matter, it's just curiosity." ”

"What's curious about this?" Bang'er looked puzzled.

Bai Hanyan smiled lightly.

"We have been married for more than a year, and we have a good relationship, and we have always respected each other." The wind chimes have a sad face, but the beauty is not covered, but the eyes are full of life, and they look lonely.

Bai Hanyan nodded and smiled and continued to ask, "Then what is abnormal about Lord Luan lately?" ”

Feng Chime shook his head, still lowered his eyes and said: "It's nothing abnormal, I just love to go to the Splendid Teahouse to taste tea. ”

"Splendid Teahouse?" Bai Hanyan keenly tasted a layer of meaning from her words.

"Yes, the woman who sleeps with her husband is the tea maid there."
