When Liu Zhuxue heard that it was related to her, she nervously pulled out the drawing paper from Gu Changming's hand. It's really right by them, can she remember her own clothes and hair, the color of ink on this painting paper is ink, and she can't see the color of the clothes, otherwise she will think that the painting is herself.
"If this is the case, then after you entered Quyang County, you were almost plotted twice, but you found the reason." Gu Changming couldn't understand how Liu Zhuxue, who had just arrived, could be targeted. She was originally the kind of lady who rarely went out, and if they hadn't seen it before, he might not have been able to recognize it.
"The first batch of those caught are still being held in a prison in Quyang County. It shows that it was a gang that committed the crime, and Master Sun confessed to interrogating it well. Dai Guozi thought that Liu Zhuxue was controlled by someone, almost injured him by mistake, and had some palpitations, "It's good to find the root cause, so as not to be plotted by others for no reason." ”
"If they mistake Miss Liu for one of them, then where is the real person in the painting?" Gu Changming has the mentality that he can save one by one, if the last one can get out of the clutches, then the first four can't be regarded as dead in vain.
"Young women all over the street, and there are no faces painted on this damn portrait. She had a makeover, and she wore another dress, how could we tell the difference. "Dai Guozi, no one wants to catch the black hand behind the female corpse, but he has more than enough heart but not enough strength.
"With the title of the chief bookkeeper of Quyang County, go to the chief bookkeeper of Tang County and send all the people on both sides. One person in a hundred steps, watch all the waterways of the Tongtian River, and then wait for the rabbit. Gu Changming used the simplest method.
When Dai Guozi heard it, although the pomp was bigger, it was the most effective: "That's okay, I'll go to the county government of Tang County, and you go back to Quyang County." ”
Gu Changming looked at Liu Zhuxue, he would definitely take it away, and it was up to her to decide whether Liu Zhuxue would leave or stay. Dai Guozi looked at Liu Zhuxue and hesitated for a moment, and hurriedly pushed her back: "I went to Tang County alone, and I was more neat in handling things." You don't know if you'll get sick yet, it's good to follow Gu Changming, at least he can control you. ”
Liu Zhuxue was careful, and was worried that Dai Guozi would not be able to keep busy, so she said that she wanted to stay and help him. Hearing him say this, Liu Zhuxue was so angry that she couldn't speak, she turned around and left, she deserved this guy to run back and forth until she was busy dying, she was definitely kind enough to treat it as a donkey's liver and lungs.
"Be careful yourself." Gu Changming left a sentence, and he couldn't wait to keep up with Liu Zhuxue.
Standing in place, the thief smiled and smiled: "You obviously feel sorry for that chick......"
Dai Guozi was still not polite to him, kicked over, and rolled forward like a ball. When Gu Changming heard the movement, he turned his head and saw Cun Xiao rolling over, and he couldn't help but reach out and pick up his collar: "When dealing with the guards of General Yujing's Mansion, I think your identity is very good." It is impossible not to defeat Dai Guo. ”
"Now that I am guilty of making meritorious contributions, I must definitely be able to fight back and scold and not return the mouth. Otherwise, you won't have to settle accounts with me when you go back. "Anyway, if you go to the General's Mansion to make a fortune, and if you don't make a great contribution, I'm afraid you may not be able to forgive my sins." ”
"You figured it out." Gu Changming's hand loosened, "If you were so sober all the time, you wouldn't have done such a stupid thing." ”
"I'm not stupid at all, if I hadn't met you, I wouldn't have missed it at all." Cun carefully rubbed his hands and said, how to say it, I originally thought that it was a good deal to make a fortune in the general's mansion. When I saw that Liu Xianggong, I knew that there was a mountain outside the mountain, and there was a building outside the building. The money came too easily, he rubbed to Gu Changming's side, and said with a flattering smile, "I think that Liu Xianggong is quite giving you face, if I will be guilty afterwards, can you introduce me into the flower building and follow him to do things?" ”
Gu Changming ignored him and walked straight forward. It's just that I'm in such a hurry, and Liu Zhuxue is still a long distance ahead. The light work of the Emei faction is really a must.
"I'll talk to you about it. You can give a word, it doesn't matter if it doesn't work, we can try to ask? "I ran so hard that both calves were cramping, and I couldn't catch up with the two people in front of me. He didn't understand, he was guilty. If you don't give him a shackle chain, just keep it free-range, aren't you really afraid that he will run away halfway?
Thinking about this, my heart moved. Although it sounds beautiful to be guilty of meritorious service, after all, there is still a crime on the body. If they run away at this time, they are in a hurry to do more important business, and they may not be able to spare the energy to come to him. At that time, he will still be free, whether he wants to go back to the southwest, or if he wants to go around Kaifeng Mansion, it is no better than following them.
Without waiting for an inch, he took seventeen or eighteen steps out of the route, and a snow light, the snow-melting sword stabbed at him headlessly. He stood in place and looked stupid, if it weren't for Gu Changming's flying out of a sword qi halfway and knocking the Melting Snow Sword away, the long sword would have pierced his vital point.
My legs are weak, I can't stand, I don't sin to death written on my face, why do you do this to me!
"He wants to run." Liu Zhuxue strode over, took the snow-melting sword back in her hand, and said it confidently, without looking at it much.
"I didn't want to run." Cun Xi denied it flatly, if he admitted it, he was afraid that this beauty would be merciless and kill him on the spot with a sword. I knew that I was so ruthless, I should have let her follow Xiao Yu and leave quickly, it was too dangerous to stay around.
"I can't be mistaken." Liu Zhuxue drew a circle on the ground with the snow-melting sword, "If I hadn't stopped you, you would have been out of this range." When the time comes, you will run away, and it will take time and energy for us to chase you. ”
"But I will not sin unto death!" Cun Xi felt that he couldn't communicate with the beauty, so he cried to Gu Changming instead, "Childe, I followed you all the way, and I didn't mean to run away at all." You have to give me a guarantee, otherwise I won't help you when the time comes, and I will lose my life first. ”
"No, it won't." Gu Changming let Cun Xian walk in front, deliberately took two steps back, and walked side by side with Liu Zhuxue, "Miss Liu, the investigation is fundamental, and the public and private are clear. ”
Liu Zhuxue must have a hard mouth in front of an inch of thin face, and she was much more tactful in front of Gu Changming: "I have a good grasp of the strength, and I won't really hurt him." He just wanted to run away, and I didn't wronged him. ”
Gu Changming didn't say a word, and he stopped there. Thinking about Liu Zhuxue's family background, he has his own sense of proportion in his heart, and he will not behave excessively. It is already very rare for a girl to be willing to help investigate the case, Liu Zhuxue's martial arts are good, and she is clever enough. Gu Changming didn't object to her following, plus the case itself was related to her, so it was good to find out clearly.
The speed of coming back was obviously much faster, and when Gu Changming entered the county office, Sun Youxiang's face was so gloomy that he almost turned around in place. The case of the four nameless female corpses was pressed, and his reputation as an official for many years was almost impossible to keep.
Qiu Qizuo persuaded him repeatedly: "Lord Bookkeeper, there has been no murder in Quyang County for many years, and those who should come always have to come." What the hell are you worried about? ”
"What am I worried about, I am worried that this case is endless, and in the blink of an eye it is four. If there is a fifth or a sixth, how can I explain to Shangguan! Sun Youxiang's eyes were bloodshot, "These women are not from this county, could it be that they fell into the river from the sky?" ”
"Master Bookkeeper, Gu Gongzi and they are back." Hu Wenqiu ran fast, and before he finished speaking, Gu Changming had already arrived in front of Sun Youxiang.
"What clues can Gu Gongzi find?" Sun Youxiang saw that Dai Guozi didn't come back with him, thinking that something had gone wrong with him, "Gu Gongzi, where did he go to Guozi?" ”
He stayed in Tang County to set up manpower, and to make a long story short, he asked Lord Sun to send out all the manpower in the county office. One hundred steps, starting from the waterway in Quyang County, and arranging to Tang County, must stop the fifth woman who begged for death. Gu Changming turned his head and said to Qiu Cheng again, "That ferryboat Ah Liu, has the situation improved?" ”
"It's neither good nor bad, he's scratching his skin." Qiu Yanzuo thought of the tricky one, and he could understand why Master Sun was in a hurry. He tried more than a dozen medicines for Ah Liu, and each one worked.
"Inch fine, you go over and see if there is any way, let him go out and follow us to the river as soon as possible." Gu Changming handed over the inch to Qiu Chengzuo to take away. Liu Zhuxue's sword was also effective, and he was almost frightened, and it was estimated that he would not be able to drive him away.
Sun Youxiang trusted Gu Changming very much, and immediately asked Hu Wenqiu and Zheng He to mobilize people and all go to the Tongtian River. According to what Gu Changming said, one person in a hundred steps looks at each other from afar.
Liu Zhuxue wanted to follow Cun Xiao, but was stopped by Gu Changming: "That place, you are not suitable for the past, just stay here." ”
Inch Xiao probably knew which one to see, Qiu Chengzuo looked him left and right: "You are a doctor?" ”
"No, I'm here to do small business." Cun Xi grinned, without those two people behind him, his whole body was relaxed. He took the initiative to push open the door and saw Ah Liu, who was squatting in the corner, with no good skin on his body, still scratching there indiscriminately. "He doesn't need a doctor for this disease, I just happen to be able to see it."
With a flip of his thin hand, Qiu Qizuo watched as two insects slowly squirmed along his wrists, and his eyes widened: "You are, this is Miao Jiang's Gu technique?" ”
"It's just a little bit of insect carving." The insects crawled over their fingertips, as if they had smelled something delicious, and their speed suddenly increased. Qiu Qizuo wondered if there was something wrong with his eyes, the insect would actually grow, and when it climbed on Ah Liu, it was only the thickness of a little thumb, and it had swelled more than two or three times.
Inch by inch familiarity with Qiu Cheng's shoulder: "You are a doctor, my treatment process, it's best not to watch it, just make sure it will take a while." ”
Qiu Qizuo looked at the hand he held on his own, thinking about the two worms, as a puppet, he found himself a little disgusting. So he replied with a smile: "I'm not a doctor, I'm a puppet, you know, the kind that specializes in touching the dead." ”
