Chapter 105: See the Mysterious Man Again
At night, it rained in the sky again, and it rained all night, and it was only clear when I got up early, and the news of the man in black was still like a stone ox into the sea, even if it was a dragnet search, it was another day, and there was no news from him.
Moreover, the last glimmer of hope that An Ruoxi brought him was gone.
An Ruoxi found him and cried like rain falling flowers, full of guilt.
"Ninth Master, I'm sorry, it's not good!"
At such a critical time, An Ruoxi's word of sorry made Bailijiu feel like falling into an ice cave.
"Speak slowly, don't be in a hurry!" He was forced to be calm, but his heart was beating hard.
"I suspect that the letters from Fang Kun and the thieves provided by Wang Lin were all fake, and yesterday I asked my brother to come forward and buy off a small official of the Criminal Department who kept the files, and checked the files of Fang Kun's case that year, and found that there were indeed many suspicious points. Originally, I said that I would hand over the evidence to my father today, but who would have thought that the roof of the warehouse where the criminal department stored the files yesterday leaked rain, and all the files were wet, and there was no evidence at all! Moreover, many of the clues under investigation have all been broken inexplicably! ”
How could the storeroom where the files were stored leak? This is obviously someone who secretly manipulated in advance and deliberately destroyed the evidence of the year, so that the case can no longer be reversed! It goes without saying who is behind the scenes!
The crown prince has already made a move, completely breaking the thoughts of the third prince and Baili Jiu. If it was really the praying mantis catching cicadas and yellow finches behind, the three princes were one foot taller, and the prince was one foot taller, and the two had already begun a secret competition.
This method completely failed, and An Ruoxi should have been unexpected, so she could have asked Baili Jiu for credit, but she was extremely frustrated and annoyed, crying profusely, more lively than last night's spring rain.
Baili Jiu persuaded her with good words and coaxed her away, and the Qianjun boulder in her heart was a little heavier.
The guard who had been following An Ruoxi came in to report to him An Ruoxi's whereabouts for more than half a day, he listened casually, only lowered his head and stroked the swallow-tailed dart, frowned, waved at him a little dejectedly, and signaled to retreat.
"This dart?" The guard took a step back, asking hesitantly as he tried to turn around.
"What's wrong?" Baili Jiu asked rhetorically.
"It looks familiar."
"What!" Baili Jiuyi was startled, and was inevitably excited: "Where have you seen it?" ”
The guard thought for a moment, "Not sure, it just feels a little bit like it." ”
This sentence made Baili Jiu anxious, jumped out directly from behind the bookcase, grabbed the guard's clothes, and asked anxiously: "Say another nonsense, kill you!" ”
The guard was frightened by Baili Jiu's face, and he didn't know why he suddenly became so excited, and stumbled: "I saw it on the street." ”
"On the street? Where? What's going on? I'll count to three to give you a chance to reorganize the language! ”
The guards were a little aggrieved, they didn't dare to talk nonsense, they were concise and to the point, but they still provoked a reprimand, and after a brief combing, they didn't need to open their mouths to urge, so they said in a hurry:
"Today, Mrs. An is eating tea and resting on Yongding Street, where she once stayed for a cup of tea, I saw four people sitting next to him eating tea, all of them are first-class masters, one of them seems to be injured, and he is holding a swallow-tailed dart in his hand, snorting and slapping on the tea table, scolding. That's why I'm paying attention. ”
"What did you curse?"
"It seems to be scolding a person, saying that tonight is bound to be shameful, and then he was stopped by a man with a scar on his face."
"What are their physical characteristics? Did you say anything about revealing your own information? ”
"The man with the scar on his face doesn't look good, he is fierce and vicious, and the man with the scar on his face is shrouded and restrained, as if he is the leader of several people."
"What are they talking about?"
"It's a little far away, and I can't really hear it."
Bailijiu pondered for a moment before he asked, "Where is the scar on that person's face?" ”
"From the corners of the eyes to the sideburns, it's not too conspicuous."
"Corners of the eyes to sideburns? Could it be him? ”
Bailijiu muttered to himself suspiciously, and the guard wisely didn't ask much.
"At that time, An Ruoxi was sitting next to them at the table, do you see if they know each other?"
The guard was ashamed and said, "I didn't pay attention at the time. ”
"Then how many people you might remember and copy them now?"
The guard hesitated and shook his head: "It seems that I only vaguely remember the leader." ”
"You quickly find someone to copy his portrait, and then take a few people in civilian clothes to various inns in the capital, as well as the medical hall to inquire about the whereabouts of these people. They are numerous and conspicuous, so they should be easy to find. Oh, by the way, there are four city gates, all of them are inquired! It is better to arrange for your brother to be there on duty. ”
Bailijiu immediately became excited, pacing around the study, and it turned out to be messed up.
The guards received the order and retreated, but after two meals, someone hurried over to report that the guards in the south of the city had seen such four people go out of the city through the south gate at nightfall.
Sitting and drinking tea during the day, going out of the city at night, and then thinking of what the guards said, it should not be in a hurry, but something to do!
Without further ado, Baili Jiu alone took a few guards with strong martial arts and a brave general, bubbles, and scattered out of the city one after another.
They don't have a definite target and direction, and after leaving the city, it is tantamount to looking for a needle in a haystack, although Haidongqing's night vision is not very good, but it is very suitable for this kind of large-scale search. And Bubbles has sensitive hearing, and is a good hand at tracking and searching.
After a few people gathered, they dispersed again and searched within their respective ranges, Baili Jiu was in the middle position, and it was agreed to find the situation, so they took fireworks as the number.
Ten thousand sounds are silent, a few people perform light skills, rabbits rise and fall, condense the spirit of twelve, a radius of several miles, but where there is a little wind and grass, can not escape the ears and eyes of a few people.
Hai Dongqing hovered low in the sky, and his line of sight was the widest, so he was the first to discover the situation and show the police to Baili Jiu.
Baili Jiu's spirit was shocked, and he accelerated the speed under his feet, Ling Bo took a slight step, and jumped a few times in the direction of Hai Dongqing, and he heard a faint sound of fighting and the sound of weapons resonating.
He didn't dare to delay at all, as fast as the wind, walked to the front, and saw an abandoned imperial temple in front of him, there were really a few people fighting in secret, three of them were holding a simple knife, martial arts belonged to a faction, and the cooperation was quite tacit, besieging a black-clothed silver-faced man in the middle, pressing step by step, and the move was fatal. The other person secretly used some yin damage moves and sneaked up behind the scenes.
The black-clothed silver-faced man obviously looked a little powerless today, as if he had suffered a serious internal injury, covering his heart with one hand, and staggering under his feet. He alone faced the attack of four people at the same time, although a long sword in his hand was haunting, wandering among the four people, like a spirit snake spitting letters, Jiaolong flooded the sea, but unfortunately, the strength was not enough, obviously gritting his teeth to support, and being a trapped beast still fighting.
Isn't it the same person who tried to rob the prison the day before yesterday!
Originally, Baili Jiu mistakenly thought that the person he was looking for should be hidden among the four people, but now he realized that he had guessed wrong, and he was just the target of their actions tonight. It should be that one of them was injured under his swallowtail dart, so the search for revenge came.
But at the moment when he was watching the battle, there had been a shocking change in the field, the three soldiers were divided into three ways, up, middle and down, attacking at the same time, the silver-faced man was too late to dodge, he resisted hard, and suddenly raised his breath, as if his heart was suddenly hit hard, forcing him to snort, and the long sword in his hand almost came out of his hand.
Baili Jiu's first thought was that he must have fallen for the conspiracy of four people, otherwise it would be just a piece of cake with the skills of these people.
As soon as he groaned slightly, he divided the enemy from me in his heart, and he didn't dare to underestimate the enemy, so he pulled out the sword from his waist, and jumped into the battle circle of several people, and struggled to pick off the blades of two of them and save the silver-faced man.
One of them seemed to know Baili Jiu, and when he was stunned, he immediately made a decision and shouted: "The wind is tight, it's!" ”
The four of them were also cunning and fled in all directions in the south, east, west, and north.
Baili Jiu didn't come for them in the first place, so he naturally didn't chase after them, but turned to the man in black behind him.
The man in black took the long sword, and immediately lost his strength, and fell to one knee on the ground in embarrassment, and stood up as if he was enduring great pain.
Baili Jiu frowned slightly: "How could you be so seriously injured?" The palm I landed on you yesterday was only a success at best. ”
The man half-bowed his head, as if he was desperately trying to hide something, and said coldly: "It has nothing to do with you." ”
"Don't worry, I'm not interested in your life." Baili Jiu took two steps forward: "Let me see your injuries." ”
The silver-faced man slammed his sword on the ground, struggled to stand up, and was weak: "Thank you, don't leave it at that." ”
Then he turned around and left, staggering.
"Could it be that you really don't care about Noah's life or death?" Baili Jiu suddenly said tentatively.
The silver-faced man was obviously shocked, and his body was a little stiff: "What does it have to do with me?" ”
"Noah said you were his relative, she could feel it."
"Loved ones?" The man sneered coldly: "People like us have never had any relatives, and she has recognized the wrong person." ”
"Are you blaming Noah for the last time she mentioned me and hurt you? She didn't know you at the time, she just had amnesia and didn't remember anything. But she said that when you walked past her, she could clearly feel that you were in the same breath, and that you must be close relatives. ”
The man took two difficult steps forward, and finally couldn't help but ask, "Why did she lose her memory?" ”
Baili Jiu shook his head: "I don't know, when she woke up, she was in the room of Linlang Pavilion, and she was hit by two kinds of poison on her body, and her martial arts were all useless." ”
The man turned around suddenly: "She got two kinds of poisons?" ”
Baili Jiu nodded: "A poison, a kind of Gu, restraint between the two compartments, there is no solution yet, and there is danger at any time." ”
"No wonder, she has such a big life, and she can survive six Gu poison attacks."
The man sighed, and then stood still, motionless. After a long time, he just sighed again and continued to walk forward without saying a word.
