On the third watch, two hundred miles east of Taibai Mountain, the Xi'an Drum Tower and the Bell Tower rang again.

In the secret room of the Shaanxi Overseer's Yamen, the Assassin Ah Hai was wrapped like a mummy, leaving only a head and a scar on the right side of his face. Detective Ye Ke Nan keeps Anna away from the prisoner, lest she get into trouble on the spur of the moment.

"When I came to Taibai Mountain, I was only fifteen years old."

Ah Hai's gaze is calm, even a little elegant, not like a top killer, more like a sad literati.

"Who taught you?"

"Daddy—that's what we call him, but he has no children. He was one of the first Assassins of Taibai Mountain. He and Meng Po taught us children all the tricks from the 'Assassin's Dao' to the 'Underground Palace Dao'. ”

"'Assassin's Dao', as the name suggests, is the real kung fu of killing, not embroidering legs with fists." Ye Kenan held his chin and asked, "Then what is the 'Underground Palace Dao'?" ”

"The skill of digging up ancient tombs and capturing tomb beasts."

"Is this also your heavenly cause?"

Ah Hai came to the spirit: "Tang Gaozong Li Zhi and Empress Wu Zetian have the tomb of the emperor in the tomb, only by collecting a few of the most powerful tomb beasts, and finding the key to open the tomb, and obtaining the tomb of the emperor, can take over the world." ”

"Absurd!"

After all, Ye Kenan has eaten foreign ink, even if it is only Oriental ink.

"The Qianling Tomb cannot be approached, and no one can open Wu Zetian's mausoleum."

Anna interjected, she lived under the Nitou Mountain in Qianling for nine months, every time she looked at Wu Zetian's mausoleum, touched the wordless tablet and the statue of sixty-one ministers, and even climbed to the top of the tomb, she was quite sensitive to this tomb 1,200 years ago.

"When I was a child, in Taibai Mountain, in addition to learning the skills of assassination and grave digging, I also had to memorize "Tang Sui Doesn't Disgrace the Mission" like a stream - the assassination of the prince and the king, and the comet hit the moon; Nie Zhengzhi's assassination Han puppet also, white rainbow through the sun; To leave the thorn Qingji, the eagle struck the palace. ”

"The dagger you used to kill for the first time fell into my hand, and the ivory handle had a luodian pattern on the handle of the ivory that said 'Comet Strikes the Moon'. Later, the dagger of 'White Rainbow Piercing the Sun' appeared. ”

"I just graduated from Taibai Mountain, and I can only use the lowest-level 'Comet Attack the Moon' to kill a hundred people before I can upgrade to 'White Rainbow Crossing the Sun'."

"100 people killed?" Ye Ke was unable to receive Japanese-style police education, so he naturally remembered these three words, "What about the cangying hitting the palace?" ”

"That's a dagger that can only be worn by the owner."

"You mean Ah Yu?"

"She is the daughter of the king."

Anna was shocked by this answer: "It's incredible, it's the twentieth century, the Republic of China." ”

Ah Hai took a sip of water from Ye Kenan's hand: "In 1909, Taibai Mountain suffered a catastrophe. On the day of the Qing court's surprise attack on the mountain, my father and Meng Po took a group of our teenagers down the mountain for training, but they escaped by luck. When he returned to the mountain, he found that the king had been martyred and ascended to heaven, and the queen jumped into the valley of hell, and the little king and the little princess were taken captive. We planned to rob the prison, but failed, only to learn that the little king and the princess were taken away by an old eunuch and disappeared. We buried in the inner line of the patrol police station, revealing a piece of news - there was a royal craftsman named Qin Customs, who was ordered to build the tomb of Emperor Guangxu, but made a request to the regent, hoping to find the lost child of Gengzi Nian. ”

"You followed my investigation route and found the Tianjin German Concession, the door of Qiu Desheng and his wife?"

Ye Kenan's face was quite ugly, in this way, it was he who brought the bad luck of destroying Qin Beiyang.

"Yes, we also did an investigation in advance, and Qiu Xiaogeng is the only son of the royal craftsman Qin Customs."

The detective was woken up: "Speaking of hereditary royal craftsmen, on Taibai Mountain, is there a young son of a royal feng shui master, Mr. Li?" It is said that the Qing court raided Taibai Mountain, and the real purpose was to arrest him. ”

"Yes, he is my fellow assassin, and his real name is Li Gaolou."

Li Gaolou - Ye Kenan wrote down the name: "What does he look like?" ”

"From the first time I saw him, he wore a ghost mask. We grew up in the 'Heavenly Academy', and we can be regarded as classmates. It's scary to think about it now, there is always a kid in the classroom wearing a ghost mask. ”

"Go on, in the first year of Xuantong, in 1909, Tianjin German Concession!"

Ah Hai narrowed his eyes: "Li Gaolou said - the Qin clan's tombsmith clan holds the secrets of the tombs of the emperors of the past dynasties. Qin Customs personally built the mausoleums of Emperor Tongzhi and Empress Dowager Cixi. If you can control the Qin customs, you can open the imperial tombs of the Qing Dynasty, especially the Yehenala clan, which is hated the most by the Heavenly Kingdom. ”

"So, you didn't come to assassinate Qin Beiyang, but kidnap him? and then used him as bait to control Qin Customs. ”

"The Qing court is looking for this child, and we are also looking for him, the last descendant of the Qin clan's tombsmith clan. Our plan is quite elaborate, and we want to plot against the father and son of Qin Customs. The Li Feng Shui master and the Qin tombsmith clan will join forces to dig up the dragon root of the Qing Dynasty! ”

"I didn't expect that the descendants of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom still believe in these superstitions!"

After all, Ouyang Anna was a graduate of National Peking University, and she angrily scolded Ah Hai.

"If we continue to excavate the Qing Dynasty imperial tombs, we will be qualified to negotiate with the regent and make a secret deal with him, and stop digging the tomb in exchange for the captured little king and princess."

"This is the usual modus operandi of your Assassin Order!"

The detective remembered that three years ago, in the cave of Shijing Mountain in Fangshan, Beijing, the assassins used continuous assassination and threats to force the invincible General Xiao Xu to bow his head and compromise, make a secret deal, and obediently hand over the coffin of the little prince of the Tang Dynasty. What Ah Hai said may not be groundless.

"That night, the Tianjin German Concession. We killed the patrol at the entrance of the alley and came to the courtyard of the enemy's house. The original plan was to take advantage of Qin Beiyang's sleep to destroy the door, take the child away, tell him that his parents were killed by the Qing court, and let him take revenge and overthrow the Qing court! Unexpectedly, nine-year-old Qin Beiyang, who didn't know if he was sleepwalking, came out by himself in the middle of the night and happened to witness the death of his adoptive father. Lying on the eaves, I jumped recklessly. Actually, I was so nervous! I stabbed Qin Beiyang's adoptive mother in the heart with a knife...... That was the first time I killed someone...... Can I smoke a cigarette? ”

The cold-blooded assassin who has killed countless people still has lingering palpitations, as if he has returned to the dark night of nineteen...... The detective took a cigarette out of his pocket, stuffed it into Ahai's mouth and lit a match. Blue smoke erupted faintly, and Anna, who was still breastfeeding, coughed a few times.

"Thank you! Inspector Ye. Kill the first person and I'll go crazy. Daddy stopped me, but unfortunately I was inexperienced, and when I got distracted, the boy actually stabbed me with a sharpened bamboo pole, and he almost pierced the face door, but the right side of my face ......"

Ah Hai was smoking a cigarette and his hands were tied, unable to touch the centipede-like scar.

"Well deserved! Why not poke you to death! ”

Anna was pressed down by Ye Kenan again, and Ah Hai said to herself: "You don't know, when I was nineteen years old, I was very beautiful and had a beautiful face. The boys and girls on Taebai Mountain love me. ”

"Disgusting!"
