said that Ding Qin's heart tightened.

Could it be that Tian Guang encountered something unexpected?

In a hurry, he pushed the door.

The door was not locked.

The luxury cabin is divided into two rooms, the outer room is equivalent to a living room, with tables, chairs, tea sets, etc., and further inside, there is a door, behind which is the bedroom.

Tian Guang was not in the outer living room. The bedroom door was closed, but a large pool of blood had flowed out of the gap under the door.

Ding Qin frowned, stepped forward carefully, dodged the bloodstain, and pushed open the bedroom door.

Tian Guang fell less than a meter from the door. He had been slashed in the neck, and the arteries on both sides had been cut, and blood was spurting everywhere. Now that the blood has stopped flowing out, it seems that he has been dead for some time.

There was no sign of a fight, everything in the room was well placed, and Tian Guang didn't seem to be struggling, it was possible that his neck was first stunned and then cut by a blow, and his body soaked in blood showed no signs of movement.

Ding Qin couldn't help but wonder in his heart. In this boat, going in and out is right under people's noses, who will see the opportunity and sneak in and kill Tian Guang?

In the previous period, there had not been any spiritual power fluctuations on the ship, and the killer must have been experienced and successful in one blow.

Moreover, what is the motive for taking such a big risk to kill someone on a ship?

Is it because Tian Guang said something, or because he knows something, or because he wants to find out what Tian Guang knows?

The first two reasons are not very convincing. Tian Guang said that many of these things are not too certain, or rather, it is his expressive art that makes these things sound like legends.

Just because what he said was a recipe for death, the murderer was not necessarily too arbitrary.

Of course, even if someone wanted to kill him a long time ago, there was no need to attack him on such a public boat. What could have been done silently is now bound to cause a lot of uproar.

In this way, it is most likely to prevent Tian Guang from telling himself what is going on. Standing on this starting point, the most likely thing to do is to start with someone from the Shogunate faction or the Ruyi Workshop.

Because what they are guarding against is not necessarily pointing at Ding Qin, but anyone who is ready to consult Tian Guang for news.

Of course, there is another possibility, it is the villain who is going around stealing treasures.

In order to prevent his next whereabouts from being revealed, he killed possible insiders and pinched out the clues.

It's just that, if you think about it again, doing so is a bit of a knife for a skill like him. Moreover, wherever he wants to go, he doesn't have to take a passenger ship like ordinary people.

In a short period of time, Ding Qin thought about all kinds of possibilities. He even thought about the threat that this incident might bring to himself.

The boat has one day left before it can dock. There's no better way to protect yourself than to light up the eyes of all your passengers.

Therefore, Ding Qin quickly walked out of the Tianzi cabin and shouted, "Come on! Tian Guang has been killed!"

After a while, the whole ship boiled.

Without any consciousness, a person in the deluxe cabin was killed, casting a layer of fear over everyone's hearts.

As the first to make an appointment with Tian Guang and the first to find the body, Ding Qin naturally inevitably became the key object of suspicion. But coincidentally, Ding Qin entered and exited his cabin door, and someone saw and could testify, and after being identified by experienced people on the ship, the time of Tian Guang's death could not coincide with Ding Qin's entry and exit time, and the murderer was someone else.

In the shadows like never before, people don't even sleep anymore.

In order to ensure safety, the shipowner not only arranged fixed sentry posts at the entrances and exits of each cabin, but also set up a special patrol team to carry out patrols without interruption.

However, Ding Qin knew that there should be no more murders on this ship.

Sure enough, until the docking, there was nothing unusual in the boat. As if they had received amnesty, all the passengers rushed off the boat one by one.

Ding Qin did not stay at the dock for long. Judging by the current situation, he can't be sure that he has not been targeted by others.

It's just that before I left the dock and went to an inn to book a room, someone came to the door.

It's a member of the Military Command Office.

The leader looked very honest, holding an order in his hand, "Is it Ding Qin?"

Ding Qin admitted.

The man said, "I'm the sheriff of the county's military command office. According to the military order, please go to the military order office to reply. ”

Replying to this, it generally doesn't carry any kindness. It's just that Ding Qin has always shown respect and obedience to official orders. He nodded, "Then please lead the way." It's just that I don't know why I was asked to go to the Military Command Mansion?"

He asked, realizing something in his heart. I just entered this county, and I can be found by these people, and it must be that the official left an eyeliner when he got on the boat.

In this way, I am afraid that I will not be asked to leave here, and I will not be able to run to the next place.

The sheriff also did not hide from Ding Qin, "It is said that this is an order from the county, and I don't know the specific situation." We appreciate your cooperation. ”

Ding Qin didn't want to embarrass them, so he didn't ask any more, and followed them for more than ten miles to the Military Command Mansion.

The military order house is a scene of full alert. The guards were divided into three layers, inside and outside, and although they made a way for Ding Qin, they were all bad-faced.

And the military order is even more dressed in battle armor, and there is a feeling before going out.

Seeing Ding Qin, the military commander actually stepped forward in person to salute, "I didn't expect Ding Gongzi to be so reasonable and able to come with our sheriff." ”

Ding Qin smiled, "The military order is polite." It's just that Ding didn't know what the military order was calling Ding Qin urgently? If it was because of the murder on the ship, Ding Qin could only say, and I didn't know the details. ”

The military commander shook his head, "Childe misunderstood. On board, there were indeed people from our military command office who also knew about the murder. However, they have already reported it to me, and the preliminary judgment is that Gongzi has nothing to do with Tian Guang's death, and the murderer is someone else. ”

"Then the military order summoned me because?" Ding Qin communicated with the military commander very frankly, and estimated that the military order would not be too disgusted.

The military commander smiled, "Childe, this is an order from the county. Before the son arrived in our county, Nanhai County had already given orders to the counties, if the son arrived, one is to try to keep the child, and the other is to report to the army to know. Now, the military guard has sent a commissioner to our county to prepare for a meeting with Childe. ”

"Meet me? why?" Ding Qin felt more and more that things would not be so simple.

"It is not mentioned in the order. The commissioner is expected to arrive in three days, and if the prince has no special matters during this period, he still hopes to stay in the military command mansion. Of course, if Childe has something to do, I hope I can tell you where he is, so that I can report to the commissioner truthfully. ”

Ding Qin naturally knew that although the military order was polite, judging from the current lineup, it was very resolute to leave his heart. Thinking about it, before he knew why, it would be harmful to himself to have an unpleasant quarrel with the official, so Ding Qin simply borrowed the slope to get off the donkey, "I don't have any plans recently, so please ask the military order to help me arrange a place to live." ”

As soon as the military order was heard, a relieved expression immediately appeared on his face. He immediately turned around and beckoned his subordinates, and arranged Ding Qin into the first-class guest room that had already been arranged.

Of course, outside the guest rooms, there are also several sets of sentry posts set up intentionally or unintentionally.

If you change to a person with a lower cultivation level and live in such a place, it is actually considered house arrest. However, for Ding Qin, a mere military command office has long been unable to restrain him.

Therefore, he simply didn't pay attention to those people, he should eat and sleep here.

It wasn't until the morning of the third day that the commissioner of Nanhai County arrived.

Ding Qin didn't know this person. According to the military order, this person is the first senior staff member under the military guard, surnamed Fan Mingzuo, and is also one of the recognized official masters of Nanhai County, and his cultivation has reached the third and fourth levels.

His name is Fan Zuo, but it doesn't look like or talk at all. This man is nearly sixty years old, with slightly gray hair, full of energy, and his words are sonorous and powerful.

Seeing Ding Qin, Fan Zuo was also very enthusiastic, "Ding Gongzi is willing to stay in this remote military command mansion, which is really a great support for me Fan." ”

Ding Qin treated him politely, "The commissioner is serious. I just don't know why the commissioner is looking for me?"

Fan Zuo smiled, "Childe doesn't know, it's not that I have something, and it's not that we have something in Nanhai County." Looking for a son is an order personally issued by the state commander. ”

State order?

Ding Qin was stunned for a moment.

Why?

Fan Zuo seemed to see Ding Qin's question, "Childe must be surprised, right? In fact, not only Childe, but also when we received the order, we also felt surprised." Generally speaking, the state is in a high position, and visitors are rare, especially unofficial guests. However, the order has been given, and we can only carry it out. ”

"The reason is not mentioned in the order?" Ding Qin asked.

Fan Zuo nodded, "The state commander's order is here, I can show it to Ding Gongzi." ”

He took out a jade plaque from his arms, and after inputting spiritual power, a line of words appeared on it: Order all states to find Ding Qin, and bring those who have won it to the state capital.

The place where the payment is made is a special mark.

As soon as the spiritual power is gone, these words disappear. Fan Zuo said, "This jade plate, called the Tiannan Prefecture Confidential Jade Plate, can only be used to receive the order of the state unification. When the state unification issues an order, activate the special spiritual power, and it can be transmitted to the jade plate in an instant. Therefore, I have no way of knowing why the state wants to see you. ”

He paused for a moment and said, "However, I have heard a little about what Ding Gongzi has been doing recently. As a rare talent among the young generation, it cannot be ruled out that after the state commander learned about it, he intended to recruit into the government and enter the government with the talent of a son. ”

Although it is not impossible, Ding Qin knows that it will not be so simple. If you really want to recruit, there is no need to go to the state government at all. He can entrust a commissioner to talk, just like Nanhai County now sends a commissioner.

Moreover, in the midst of that order, I always felt a smell of *.

Fan Zuo was afraid that Ding Qin would not agree now, but seeing that Ding Qin didn't answer, he said, "Ding Gongzi doesn't have to worry too much, since the state commander can issue an order so publicly, naturally he will not secretly cheat and harm Gongzi, so ......"

Ding Qin smiled, "Seniors don't have to worry. Since the state wants me to go, then I'll go. ”

After that, he bowed his hand to the military order, "Military order, thank you for your hospitality in the past few days." I'll leave now, and I'll see you soon!"
