In the living room of the Rite Division, Han Ding knocked on the table, leaned back in his chair, closed his eyes and didn't know what he was thinking. Li Xiaobing on the side was unhurriedly sipping tea.

An old man walked into the meeting room with a little uneasiness, came to Han Ding, and said, "In the Situ Brigade of the Lower Rite Le Division, what is the matter with Lord Lingwei Governor looking for the lower official?"

"Brother Situ is very polite, and he is only for one thing on this trip. Han Ding opened his eyes, "I wonder if my brother can know the Qin Ghost?"

"Oh, it's Changning Ling's luthier, right? I don't know, he, what did he do?"

"Brother Situ doesn't have to be restrained, just have something to say. Han Ding saw Situ Lu's concerns, "The matter of the Qin ghost will definitely not involve you, brother." ”

"Well, let Lord Lingwei laugh. Situ Lu smiled bitterly, "I do have a lot of dealings with qin ghosts, to be precise, I often deal with qin ghosts on behalf of the Lile Division. ”

"What do you mean by that?"

"In a place like Shaoyang, there is no other place where you can buy piano parts except for the piano ghost's piano shop. Before the piano ghost came to Shaoyang, the instruments of our Lile Division were all made by ourselves and repaired by ourselves. Later, when the piano ghost came, we bought parts in his shop in order to save trouble. The piano ghost's piano skills are very good, and the quality of the piano he makes is also very good, and the musicians in our palace should not be able to compare with him. ”

"I heard that your music library was stolen a few days ago?"

"That's right, the thief is ······"

"What did you lose?" Han Ding interrupted Situ Lu's words.

"I lost some parts of the instrument. ”

"Are there any piano parts in there?"

"Yes. ”

"Do these parts have anything to do with the piano ghost?"

"Huh?" Situ Lu looked at Han Ding, not knowing why he was asking this.

Say. Han Ding stood up, his eyes cold.

"Yes, yes, yes. Situ Lu hurriedly replied, "These parts are the piano ghosts." When the piano ghost left, he gave us a batch of parts for the Rite Music Division. ”

"Is there anything special about these parts? Look at it as a musician. ”

"Special?" Referring to the professional music theory question, Situ Lu became serious, "Yes." The piano used by the piano ghost is different from the one we use, and he uses a nine-stringed instrument that we have never seen before. It had nine strings, three bridges, one at the left and right ends and one in the middle, and it was strange that we couldn't play it. At that time, the parts of the piano he gave to the reile division were both ordinary parts and parts of the nine-stringed instrument, so he must have confused it himself. ”

"The parts of the two instruments can't be replaced with each other, can they?"

"That's right, it's not the same specification at all. ”

"What kind of stolen parts are they?"

"It's a nine-stringed piano. ”

Han Dingxin said that this was indeed the case, and left with Li Xiaobing's farewell, and the two rushed back to the Lingwei Division. Along the way, Han Ding frowned tightly and didn't say a word.

When he was about to arrive at the Spirit Guard, Li Xiaobing asked, "So it seems that Gan Sheng has already taken back the Nine Sins Piano?"

"That's right, five days ago. He moves faster than us, and now we can only look at Shen Zhi. ”

As he was talking, Shen Zhi rode a horse from another intersection.

"Why did he come back alone?" asked Li Xiaobing.

"Hopefully not bad news. Han Ding clamped the horse's belly between his legs and drove the horse forward. Li Xiaobing immediately followed.

"Shen Zhi!" Han Ding shouted behind Shen Zhi.

Shen Zhi looked back and saw that it was Han Ding and the others, and exclaimed, "Big brother!" and immediately rode his horse towards the two.

"Why aren't you in the Spiritual Guards? Where are you going?"

"Just got back from the Rites. Han Ding shook his head, a lot of Shen Zhi, "It's you, coming back alone, is it good news or bad news?"

"It's up to you how you understand it. Shen Zhi smiled bitterly, "We searched the altar carefully, and there is no place to hide people inside. The team of guards was also checked, and they were all veterans, and no one mixed in. So I left the team at the altar to defend it. ”

"Does that mean Gan Sheng hasn't sneaked into the altar yet?" Li Xiaobing said.

"But we don't have any clues about Gan Sheng. Han Ding couldn't be optimistic.

"Also, the wounded of the army entered the city just now. Shen Zhi said, "There is a city defense team that has been attacked by the mercenary group, and there are many wounded. The identities of the wounded are difficult to verify and can easily be infiltrated. Now they are all in the city service department. ”

"City Service Department?" Han Ding frowned, "Xiao Bing." ”

"In. ”

"You take someone to the city service department right away. Remember, no wounded person can leave. Even if a corpse is carried out, it is necessary to make sure that it is not really dead. ”

"Yes. ”

In the courtyard of the City Service Department, a middle-aged man looked worriedly at the soldiers of the Spirit Guard Division who were quickly deployed, and said to the girl beside him: "Lord Lieutenant You, you are responsible for the safety of Shaoyang, I understand. But I hope this doesn't affect my patients. ”

"Doctor Yu is really a benevolent doctor, are doctors like this?" Li Xiaobing said without raising his head.

"Of course, healers always have the heart to help the world. ”

"If you have the heart of hanging a pot to help the world, can you save people?"

"What do you mean?"

"I heard that the most skilled doctor in the world is called Xuan, and there is no one in this world who can save life. Who did he save? He killed a lot of people, does he have the heart to help the world?" Li Xiaobing raised his head and stared at the doctor with contempt and viciousness, "So, don't pretend to be benevolent to me." ”

"You!" Dr. Yu was so angry that he couldn't speak.

At this time, two medical workers carried a stretcher covered with a white cloth and walked outside the city service department.

"Stop!" Li Xiaobing shouted, and the soldiers of the Spirit Guard Division beside him stepped forward to stop him.

"What are you going to do!" Dr. Yu hurriedly followed.

Li Xiaobing ignored it, came to the stretcher, and lifted the white cloth on the stretcher, revealing a gray corpse.

"He's already a dead man, what else are you going to do?" Dr. Yu rushed in a rage.

"How did he die? Why does he look like this ghost?" Li Xiaobing asked the medical worker on the side.

"Poisoned. ”

"Dead?"

"Yes, it should be. The medic replied cautiously.

Li Xiaobing suddenly pulled out the dagger of the soldier on the side and stabbed it at the corpse's head.

"Stop!" Dr. Yu shouted. However, Li Xiaobing did not hesitate to strike, and stabbed the corpse's head with a knife. The closed eyelids did not tremble at all, and a drop of black poisonous blood oozed from the knife.

"What are you doing!"

"I'll be sure if he's really dead. ”

"You!" Dr. Yu forced himself to calm down, "I hope you can have a little respect for the deceased, and you have this day." ”

"Of course I have this day. But when I was alive, you didn't treat me as a human being, do I still expect to be respected after I die? Is there any point?" Li Xiaobing looked at Doctor Yu and grinned, revealing the sharp fangs in his mouth.

Dr. Yu had nothing to say.

Li Xiaobing looked at the soldiers before him and said with a smile: "Do you still want this dagger?" Although it has a little poison. ”

The soldier looked at the black drop of poisonous blood with a bit of dark blue in it, shivered, didn't dare to pull it out, put the white cloth back on, and said, "Forget it, forget it." ”

"Alright, let's go. ”

Li Xiaobing left with the guards, and the corpse with the dagger was carried out of the city service department, leaving only Doctor Yu stunned in place.

Soldiers who died in battle were sent to the Soul Sacrifice Facility in the west of the city, where rows of coffins were parked. After being placed for a period of time, the sacrificial coffin will be transported to the sacrificial soul mausoleum outside the city for burial.

Night had come, and the rain had fallen quietly. In the unattended soul sacrifice place, the coffin board of a soul sacrifice coffin suddenly moved away, and a gray palm grabbed the eaves of the coffin. A man sat up with a dagger stuck in his head.
