Chapter 41: The Woman in Red

After sweeping more than ten miles in one breath, Wu Zhiyuan felt as if his feet had left the ground and walked in the air, this feeling surprised him, and he immediately unloaded the vitality of his whole body, and then stopped.

After a little thought, Wu Zhiyuan knew the answer, full of vitality can make people jump ten feet, and lifting qi forward can also make people as light as a swallow, as long as they borrow a little force on the ground, they can sweep dozens of meters. If you can fly forward without stopping, you will be able to reach the boundary of Haiyang Duong before evening. However, the flying of more than ten miles had already made him feel the consumption of his vitality, so he had to turn to walking briskly to ease his vitality.

When Wu Zhiyuan arrived at Haiyang Realm, it was already the evening of the next day, just two days earlier than the agreed five-day period. The two days and one night of running made Wu Zhiyuan feel tired, and he found an inn and threw himself into the hotel.

Haiyang is located on the coast of the Yellow Sea, the south wing of the Jiaodong Peninsula, is an authentic seaside town, Wu Zhiyuan's inn is not far from the seaside, lying on the bed, you can even hear the sound of Hailang hitting the beach.

After a day's journey, Wu Zhiyuan was physically and mentally exhausted, so he did not continue to study the fourth layer of the Guiyuan Dao Method, but sat on the edge of the bed and reviewed the third layer of the luck method again, until he felt that the vitality in his body had recovered, and then he rested in bed.

There is a different kind of tranquility at night on the seashore, and the reason why it is different is because there is no sound other than the roar of the sea. Wu Zhiyuan was lying on the bed, and the appearance of Sheng Wanxiang appeared in his mind, and her smile seemed to be engraved in Wu Zhiyuan's mind.

This is missing, Wu Zhiyuan knows it.

"It's dry, watch out for the candles! It's dry, watch out for candles! The sound of the husband beating was heard from afar, and this sentence was repeated twice, indicating that it was now the second watch.

Wu Zhiyuan missed Sheng Wanxiang, tossing and turning for a while, and it was difficult to sleep. This time, she left the Sheng family, because of Sheng Jinyuan's obstruction, so she left in a hurry, and she didn't even say hello to Sheng Wanxiang, I don't know if she will be angry with herself.

Wu Zhiyuan was thinking to himself, and suddenly heard a "bang", followed by a "help", but the word "life" was only half shouted before it came to an abrupt end.

It's the one who hits the shift! Wu Zhiyuan reacted suddenly, the sound of the gong used to hit the guard fell to the ground, and the cry of "help" was obviously made by the husband, he may have seen something extremely frightened, or felt extremely dangerous, so the word "life" was only half shouted.

Wu Zhiyuan turned over and jumped from the bed to the ground, and went straight to the window, which was facing the street, and through the window he could see the situation on the street.

Sure enough, Wu Zhiyuan saw at a glance that the husband was lying upright on the street, and there was a woman in red squatting next to him, who was holding a sharp knife in her hand, raising the knife to stab the husband.

"Stop!" Wu Zhiyuan shouted, and at the same time opened the window and jumped down, only when he jumped down did he realize that this was the second floor, so he jumped so rashly, and his leg bone had to be injured.

Unexpectedly, when his toes touched the bottom, Wu Zhiyuan fell lightly, and he didn't even feel like he fell, he was surprised in his heart, but he quickly came back to his senses.

The woman in red looked at Wu Zhiyuan when she heard the voice, and at the same time, Wu Zhiyuan also saw the other party. Seeing that under the miserable white moonlight, the face of the woman in red was even more frighteningly white, Wu Zhiyuan's heart was shocked when he saw this, and he hesitated for a moment, and in this moment of hesitation, the woman in red raised the sharp knife in her hand and stabbed into the heart of the husband.

Wu Zhiyuan was taken aback, it was the first time he had seen a murder scene when he was so big, he had killed a female corpse in the tomb, but it was not a living person, and now the woman in red was stabbed in the heart of a big living person, just a few seconds ago, Wu Zhiyuan heard the sound of him beating the guard, but now the corpse has sunk on the street.

The woman in red pulled out her knife, looked up at Wu Zhiyuan, sneered, turned around, and rushed into the distance.

"Stop!" Wu Zhiyuan hurriedly lifted his vitality, his pace quickened, and he hurriedly chased after him.

In a short moment, the woman in red has run far away, which shows that her light body kung fu is extremely good, and her vitality cultivation is also unfathomable, but she is particularly conspicuous in the moonlight in red clothes, so Wu Zhiyuan did not chase after him for a while, but the distance between the two is getting farther and farther.

The woman in red rushed all the way to the north, and after a while, she rushed out of the county seat, the north of the county is full of hills of all sizes, barren grass and low trees, very cold, Wu Zhiyuan raised his vitality, accelerated and chased for more than fifty miles, felt that the consumption of vitality became more and more obvious, and saw the sinister surrounding environment, and secretly thought that this matter was not simple, the woman in red was a murderer, she was hit by someone but did not panic, she ran all the way as if she was familiar with the road, could it be that this road leads to her lair? If there are any more comrades ambushing here, I am afraid that it will be difficult to fly.

With this in mind, Wu Zhiyuan stopped, stood on the mountain road and watched the figure of the woman in red rushing forward.

The woman in red seemed to know that Wu Zhiyuan had stopped chasing, and also stopped, turned around Zhuo Li, and looked at Wu Zhiyuan from a distance.

The gap in vitality cultivation was manifested at this time, Wu Zhiyuan kept panting, but the other party did not move, Wu Zhiyuan couldn't help but be secretly surprised in his heart, even if he caught up with her, what could he do with her?

The woman in red stood in the moonlight, her cold expression was faintly visible, her snow-white face seemed to be wearing a mask, in sharp contrast with a red dress, revealing a bit of weirdness, and the red skirt fluttered in the night breeze, which was quite elegant.

The two looked at each other from a distance for a moment, the woman in red turned around and flew forward again, Wu Zhiyuan watched the red back disappear into the night, and had to go back in a huff.

Back on the street where the inn is located, Wu Zhiyuan inadvertently found that the body of the husband lying on the ground was missing, what was going on? Could it be that someone from the police department took care of the aftermath?

Wu Zhiyuan was puzzled, knocked on the door of the inn, when he left, he jumped out of the window, but when he came back, he didn't want to go through the window again, in the dead of night, the melon fields and plums, so as not to be mistaken for a thief.

"Guest officer, there is no room in the shop." The innkeeper rubbed his eyes and yawned and opened the door, and when he saw that it was Wu Zhiyuan, he immediately asked with a surprised face, "Guest officer, when did you go out?" ”

"I went out before you closed the door and had a few drinks at a friend's." Wu Zhiyuan found an excuse to cover it up, for fear that the killing of his husband would depend on him, after all, now that someone has died, it is a sensitive period, and he can't escape suspicion when he goes out late at this time.

The guy agreed, lazily closed the door of the store, and walked to the ear room on the right side of the first floor, where was the guy's bedroom.

"Little brother, wait a minute." Wu Zhiyuan suddenly remembered something and called out to the guy.

"Guest officer, it's so late, what else do you have to do?" The guy yawned, his tone was a little impatient, if it weren't for Wu Zhiyuan being a customer, he would probably have growled.

"Well, was there any movement on the street just now?" Wu Zhiyuan didn't know how to ask, so he had to ask vaguely.

"I've been sleeping in the middle of the night, what can I do? Nothing happened, I went to sleep. The guy complained, and without waiting for Wu Zhiyuan's reaction, he went to the ear room after speaking.

Wu Zhiyuan walked back to his room suspiciously, his mind was repeatedly straightened out, and he never had a clue about tonight's events. Logically speaking, when the police department discovers a homicide, it should take action during the investigation of the murder scene, and there will not be no movement at all. Could it be that the guy slept too deeply and didn't notice it?

If the police department still doesn't know about the murder, where are the bodies on the street?

Thinking about it, Wu Zhiyuan couldn't understand it, but he could be sure of one thing, that is, the murderer must be the woman in red, this is what he saw with his own eyes, and it is definitely not bad. But what exactly is the identity of the woman in red? Why did she want to kill a husband who had no quarrel with the world? A knife to the heart is a trick to kill the other party, which shows that she must have a blood feud with this husband, and the technique of stabbing the heart with that knife is extremely skillful, which shows that she is by no means the first time to commit murder.

In the past few days of wandering around the rivers and lakes, Wu Zhiyuan has changed from an ignorant mountain village boy to a calm teenager who is used to doing analysis first, and this kind of transformation can be described as a rebirth. However, tonight the incident looked a little strange, and there were not many useful conclusions, so I simply didn't want to, and fell asleep on the bed with my head covered.

The next morning, Wu Zhiyuan got up very early and walked out of the inn, he deliberately observed the pedestrians on the street and the shops on the street, and found that everyone was very natural, as if nothing really happened last night.

Wu Zhiyuan was puzzled, what was going on?
