Chapter 35: Who's Assassinating Whom
Many people were also attracted by Jiang Xiaoyi's beastly howl, and rushed towards that alley, and they also saw Lin Xi running in an extremely hurry.
Lin Xi didn't have time to greet these people, just a few stops, and he had already jumped into the gray alley.
Seeing Jiang Xiaoyi holding the woman at a glance, Lin Xi's mood was slightly relieved, but seeing the blood on the woman's chest and looking at her increasingly dull eyes, his face became more and more cold.
His body shook suddenly, and he saw Bian Linghan running back from the alley in front of him.
"What the hell is going on?"
Seeing Lin Xi at a glance, Bian Linghan immediately drank this sentence.
Her face was very pale, although Jiang Xiaoyi said that she didn't know this woman before, but now Jiang Xiaoyi's grief at the moment told her that Jiang Xiaoyi's feelings for this woman were not so simple.
Jiang Xiaoyi's howl and the appearance at this moment also made her heart feel an indescribable pain.
She didn't understand what was going on, why this woman was stabbed under her and Jiang Xiaoyi's noses, but as soon as she said a word to Lin Xi, she immediately knew that it was wrong, and knew that Lin Xi also needed to explain at the moment, so she said quickly with a white face: "I just arrived in Donggang Town today... Jiang Xiaoyi said that she had seen this woman's face covered with blood before, and there seemed to be something unspeakable, so we wanted to catch up with this woman and ask for clarification, but when we walked into this alley, this woman had already been stabbed. ”
Lin Xi nodded slightly, indicating that he heard clearly.
He already recognized who this woman was.
This woman is one of the women who was rescued when the Silver Hook Fang case occurred.
At that time, all these female arrest rooms recorded their confessions in detail one by one, and he also carefully read each confession, this bloodstained female name is Wang Simin, a native of Guangyuan Town, Ludongling, according to the confessions of all the women, more than ten officials and wealthy businessmen involved in the case were also involved. Those officials and wealthy businessmen involved in the case have also been convicted, and tomorrow's execution of the first offender, Xu Chengfeng, is just a prelude to the settlement of the dust in the Silver Hook Fang case.
The bloodstains on Wang Simin's face and body were all scars left by the whipping because of his strong temperament and refusal to obey the arrangement of the Silver Hook Workshop.
Lin Xi considered that this world attaches great importance to female virginity, for fear that even if these women are rescued, they will have nowhere to go, so they have already specially arranged for the arrest room to do a good job of cleaning up the aftermath, so that Du Weiqing and others can hear the news privately one by one, and explain it, if they can't go back, they will try to settle down for a living.
Lin Xi knew very well that just as Xu Ningshen must have a backstage in the Zhengwu Division, the officials involved in the Silver Hook Workshop were not the only ones, but there was no conclusive evidence to investigate, and the case had been closed, what did it have to do with such a weak woman?
How could someone suddenly assassinate this woman?
"Didn't I become Conan?"
Thinking that before he took office in Donggang Town, it was rare to have a murder in Donggang Town, and after he arrived in Donggang Town, wherever he went, there were life and death things, even today, when it should have been leisurely, but such a thing would happen, Lin Xi, whose face was slightly ugly, couldn't help but say this "nonsense" again.
"Conan?" Bian Linghan was stunned, unable to understand what Lin Xi meant by this sentence at all.
Lin Xi didn't answer her question, but immediately asked, "Did you see the person who assassinated her?"
"Nope. Bian Linghan gritted her teeth and shook her head, she had already rushed into the alley where the female assassination was killed as fast as she could, but the alley was already empty.
While shaking her head, she couldn't help but be a little angry... Because Lin Xi seems to be very calm at this moment, she usually appreciates Lin Xi's calm and unfazed honor, but when she encounters such a thing at this moment, Lin Xi's calmness makes her can't help but be a little angry.
"It should be too late. ”
However, at this moment, Lin Xi whispered this sentence again, which made her couldn't help but look at Lin Xi's face in surprise.
"I'll see you later. ”
And what surprised her even more inexplicably, so that Jiang Xiaoyi couldn't help but look up at him was that Lin Xi said this again.
"Go back..."
Lin Xi took a deep breath, looked at his two friends, and said these two words, completely pushing the "cyan roulette" in his mind.
Time goes back to before the ten stops.
......
......
Lin Xi and Xing Derong had a very happy conversation, and Xing Derong was asking Lin Xi for advice on how to use a small amount of silver taels to deposit a small amount of silver taels to set the current season's golden pomelo that needs a large amount of silver taels to buy.
In the surprised eyes of Da Dexiang's father, Lin Xi quickly stood up, lifted the wooden box under him that was sitting on a chair, and carried it on his body.
"I have something important to do soon, it may not be long, please stay here for a while. ”
As soon as the voice came out, Lin Xi had already pushed open the window and jumped out gently.
He glanced up slightly at the street in the distance, and the summer sun made him feel a little dazzling.
He knew that Bian Linghan and Jiang Xiaoyi should have seen the woman in that alley at this time, and at this moment, the assassin should have been hiding somewhere in that alley, observing the woman's movements, only after the time of the four stops, the assassin should have gone to the alley, waiting for the woman to walk in and complete the assassination.
Time was not long for him, but he didn't rush directly to the alley right away, but squinted slightly, staring at the glare of the sun, and carefully observed the alley.
After a few breaths, he walked briskly, first into the nearest shop not far ahead, which specialized in fishing nets, coats, and hats.
"Lord Kobayashi!"
In the surprise greeting of the owner of this shop, Lin Xi immediately made a silent gesture to him, and said softly: "I'm handling the case, borrowing clothes and hats to cover up my whereabouts, and I'll come over to settle the bill later." Just when the owner of this shop was slightly stunned, immediately reacted, and immediately nodded in displeasure, Lin Xi had quickly put on a robe, brought a hat, and walked out of the store.
He quickly walked into a small alley, and when he walked out of this alley and into an alley, the people who walked past him did not realize that he was the Kobayashi Lord they liked and respected.
Lin Xi walked into another alley, his movements suddenly accelerated, climbed onto the roof of a house, walked quickly in some shadows between the roofs of the houses, and climbed up to a three-story attic.
Located at the corner of Wuyi Lane, this loft is the pavilion of the splendid workshop, which specializes in the cloth business, and the terrain is the highest around this Wuyi Lane.
At this moment, there were many people in this splendid workshop talking about business, but no one noticed Lin Xi who quickly climbed to the shade of the top of this pavilion, ambushed among the long artemisia grass, and quickly opened the wooden box on his back.
Just took out the Divine Pear Longbow in the wooden box, Lin Xi's sight saw Wang Simin carrying embroidered blue, and watched her walk towards the direction of Wuyi Lane where he was.
After a while, Jiang Xiaoyi and Bian Linghan also appeared in his sight.
He didn't make any extra movements, his left hand held the Shenli longbow extremely steadily, and his right hand silently twisted a crystal steel arrow.
There was no Bian Linghan and Jiang Xiaoyi in his eyes, only this woman was left, and he quickly adjusted his breathing, allowing himself to enter the best state as quickly as possible.
Because he had already used the ability to return to the Ten Stops today, there must not be any mistakes in this shot.
However, his brow furrowed slightly, for he saw that in a few steps, the woman was about to enter the narrow alley that could lead to Wuyi Lane in a few turns, but there was no one else in that narrow alley at the moment.
Could it be that the man discovered his whereabouts and canceled the assassination?
......
Lin Xi was slightly shocked in his heart, but the woman suddenly sped up and walked into the narrow alley.
The woman walked in the narrow alley, and still no one appeared, Lin Xi's heart became more and more suspicious, but when the woman walked in front of the closed wooden door in the alley, one of the wooden doors suddenly opened.
The woman was slightly startled and turned her head away.
I saw that through the open wooden door, a farmer with bare feet and sleeves came out.
She lowered her head again with some absent-mindedness, but at that moment, the farmer held out his hand to her.
Lin Xi completely understood.
After the assassin had completed the stab, he could walk out of the back door by closing the wooden door again, and he could walk five or six steps to an alley next to Wuyi Alley.
That street and alley are full of teahouses and ordinary wine shops, who would have known that such a farmer would be a murderer?
Because of the coincidence, Lin Xi did not hesitate at all, and before the farmer stretched out his hand and took a step, the crystal steel arrow on his fingertips had already shot out, turning into a transparent streamer that was difficult to see with the naked eye.
A long, three-edged thorn appeared in the farmer's right hand, shining with a dark black light, and at the same time, his left hand drew a black oilcloth from his chest.
At the moment when the three-edged long thorn pierced into the woman's body, if there were some beads of blood flying out, they would also be covered by him with this black oilcloth so that they would not splash on his body.
"Whew!"
This farmer who couldn't see his face clearly heard a strange wind, and then, he heard the sound of a sharp weapon piercing between the flesh and blood, because of the first sound, he had already turned around, slightly raised his head and looked at the sky behind him, but he didn't see anything, only felt that his right arm suddenly became extremely heavy.
A sharp pain and a heavy impact that paralyzed half of his body, and he reacted to the second sound of a sharp weapon piercing his own flesh, and the moment he turned his head back, he let out a terrible howl.
