Chapter 6: The Killer
Yan Jing was actually the first to notice the shopkeeper's abnormality.
The reason is simple.
Lu Wu's golden eyes gave a warning sign.
At the same time as the shopkeeper was talking to Bai Ruosu, the former actually had murderous intent towards him!
This made Yan Jing quickly realize that this guy's true face was probably the opposite of his cowering face in front of Bai Ruosu.
Sure enough.
At the same time as Bai Ruosu turned around, he reached for the gun hidden at his waist.
He seemed to know that Yan Jing was a low-level soul warrior without spiritual intelligence, so he didn't care at all that his movements were discovered.
It's a pity that under that black robe is a living person.
Yan Jing is not blind.
Relying on gravitational manipulation, Yan Jing easily let him reveal his flaws, otherwise, with this guy's professionalism, how could he have a ridiculous move of landing a weapon a second before he made a move.
In the face of Yan Jing, even if he deliberately suppressed his strength, the shopkeeper still had no chance of winning.
Tong~
The knee hit the floor tiles, smashing several cracks.
The shopkeeper then fell to the ground, struggling to get up, and was shot several times in the legs.
Yan Jing raised his foot to the back of his head and was about to step on it.
"Don't kill him!"
Seeing that the clue was about to be trampled on, Bai Ruosu hurriedly spoke to stop it, and his eyes fell on Yan Jing again.
has hidden special abilities, but his wits are still in the state of a low-level soul warrior.
He seems to be hiding some kind of secret?
Walking quickly close to the shopkeeper, Bai Ruosu knew very well what he should do, and took out the waist card again.
Raise your hand and bite the tip of your index finger and point it on the back of your waist card.
Blood seeped into the waist card, as if to verify the identity, and the moment it passed, there was a flash of inspiration on its front.
It was also from this moment that it began.
Yan Jing keenly noticed that the momentum on Bai Ruosu's body had changed suddenly.
A second ago, she was just an ordinary monk.
But at the moment when the "certification" of the waist card was completed, she seemed to have gained strength from another level.
The person was clearly standing there, but the face that should have been clear began to blur.
Seeky and majestic.
Two very different imposing forces complemented each other in her.
'Hades and the Terrans work together to support this world.'
Yan Jing took two steps to the side, and the description of the torch to this world couldn't help but come to mind.
Just now he saw Bai Ruosu's physical fitness, and now he was just observing what kind of abilities the latter had as a monk.
"Judge Inspector, Bai Ruosu, please patrol the day to suppress the ghosts!"
The voice fell, and there was a gray mist generated out of thin air in front of the waist card, turning into a demon wearing an official hat and dressing up as an official, holding a black iron card with the word "Day Patrol" written on it.
The shopkeeper, who was still struggling, suddenly stiffened in the face of this evil ghost, his alienated right arm quickly faded, and black particles rushed out of the flesh and blood, wailing and fleeing, not daring to have the slightest thought of resistance.
Absolute suppression!
Losing the support of strength, the shopkeeper's figure also changed, and finally became a middle-aged man with a thin body, except for an abnormally swollen abdomen, his clothes were loose and collapsed, and his shoulders and neck could be seen full of tooth marks.
Don't get me wrong, it's not the ambiguous traces left by the woman, but the wounds that remain after the ghost eats them, and the flesh and blood around each tooth mark show a negative state of shrinking.
Obviously, there are also monks or transcendents among the people of Xudu.
It's just that if they want to gain power, it seems that they have to pay a lot of price.
"What do you mean by a hundred gold dollars just now, disguised as a shopkeeper in advance and ambushed here, who sent you!"
thought it was just a witness to the case, but Bai Ruosu never expected this kind of accident.
She only got the information of her subordinates today, and before that, she was mourning in the Bai family's house, and only after leaving the Town Soul Hall did she tell the housekeeper that she was coming to Qinli Street, but this guy in front of her was already here ready and waiting for the rabbit!
Bai Ruosu didn't think that his subordinates in the court would harm him in this way.
There is only one possibility.
Some people had long guessed that she would come to the shopkeeper of Fengxiang's ready-to-wear shop and set a trap in advance.
Not only to stop her from continuing to investigate, but also to take this opportunity to kill her!
What exactly is hidden in the incense robbery?
"I don't know who that person is, the commission on the road, I am only responsible for taking the money to do things, one hundred gold dollars, not only me, but others have taken over the task."
Half of his face was pressed against the floor of the shop, and the killer, who was covered in cold sweat because of the pain, said in a muffled voice.
Yan Jing stood aside, observing the change in the expression on the killer's face, which didn't look like he was lying.
Kela ~ Kela ~
With two crisp fractures, the killer rolled on the ground with a howl of pain, and with the few shots that had just hit him in both legs, all his limbs had been destroyed.
But soon he couldn't shout, because Bai Ruosu had already smoked two pieces of silk, tied his hands and feet, gagged him by the way, and immediately took out a mechanical device similar to a walkie-talkie from his waist.
Turn the knob to adjust the channel, and soon a woman's voice can be heard from the communicator.
The volume was not high, and because of the rustling sound of the utensils, Yan Jing could barely understand part of it with his excellent hearing.
"Hey, is it the White Patrol?"
"It's me, the shopkeeper of Fengxiang's ready-to-wear shop was killed, and a killer is hiding here in ambush disguised as him, you bring someone over to deal with it immediately. Don't reveal my existence, just say that you have found something suspicious in private and want to do further interrogation. ”
Bai Ruosu looked at Yan Jing, who seemed to have fallen into silence next to him, and after a short silence, he added,
"Walk through the main entrance when you bring someone back, let him go around the court as much as possible, and help me observe the expressions of those people I meet along the way, you should understand what I mean!"
As the inspector of the lawsuit, Bai Ruo has his own team.
It's just that according to the rules of the Three Law Divisions, she can't command them because she is in the Ding worry period, so she can only deal with the affairs of the ready-to-wear shop through personal contact.
"Understood, I'll bring someone over immediately, in addition, I just received the news that Ah Luo, the guy of the Yuelai Inn, that is, the witness to the incense robbery, suddenly disappeared yesterday, and our people have not found his trace yet, your speculation is correct, and it is very likely that there is their internal response in the court."
"The shopkeeper has been replaced by a killer, Arlo is missing, where is the location of the knifeman, is there any news of him now?"
The two people who might provide clues provided by his subordinates had accidents one after another, and Bai Ruosu hurriedly asked.
"His whereabouts have also become erratic recently, as if he is deliberately avoiding something, but his favorite Cuihe Tavern has recently launched a new wine, which is released every evening, maybe you can squat on him!"
Different from the shopkeeper of the ready-to-wear shop and the guys at the Yuelai Inn, the knife guest Qian Sanhe is a clue dug up by the team led by Bai Ruosu, and it has been kept secret so far and no one else knows.
This was originally a backhand left for the credit of solving the case, but now it has become the only seedling left.
Hanging up the communication, Bai Ruosu put away his weapon and looked at the clock hanging on the wall.
It was still about three hours before evening.
Suddenly, he turned to look at the door and window of the ready-to-wear shop outside, his eyes flickered, and he said to Yan Jing in a loud voice,
"Let's go, the clues are temporarily broken, and the knife man is gone, I have to rearrange the situation of the case!"
The words fell, and Bai Ruosu walked towards the gate.
Suddenly quickened his pace, leaned sideways against the door, listened to the movement outside, paused, and muttered in a low voice,
"Delusion?"
It's not an illusion, there was something watching outside the door just now! ’
Standing behind Bai Ruosu, Yan Jing said in his heart.
He could feel someone or something else stalking them outside the door.
Due to his status as a low-level soul warrior, Yan Jing couldn't make a direct move, but the current development of this matter made him more and more interested.
To complete the Torch's mission, he must know the world in depth.
This is a great opportunity right now.
Task 1 required Yan Jing to figure out how the Hades and the Terran would cooperate, and the means that Bai Ruosu had shown just now had already allowed Yan Jing to get the information of the torch.
