Chapter 31: The Mermaid Reappears

Coming out of the yamen, Qiao Xiya remembered the clue mentioned by Yao Mingxi before eating: "Brother Mingxi, you said you found a clue?"

"If you don't warn, I'll forget." Yao Mingxi smiled, "I'm too tired today, why don't you go and see it tomorrow?" ”

"No, we'll go now." Qiao Xiya looked at Yao Mingxi, her eyes were bright, "I'm afraid that tomorrow the clue will be broken." ”

"No, I've been to see it, it's a yard, and it doesn't have long legs, so it can't run away." Yao Mingxi looked at Qiao Xiya with pity, "You see you haven't rested well in the past two days, and you're much haggard." ”

"Yard?" Qiao Xiya frowned, "What clues are there in the courtyard?" ”

"Taste." Yao Mingxi saw that she couldn't beat Qiao Xiya, so she had to tell her discovery carefully, "In order to help you, I asked Bai Gongzi for that special scented paper package, and then I found a mansion with the same taste......"

"Miss Joe." Bai Ning interrupted Yao Mingxi's words, "Yao Gongzi is right, the house won't run, it's better to rest today and go tomorrow." ”

"No, we'll go over now." Qiao Xiya said and pushed Yao Mingxi and asked him to lead the way. The events of the past two days have touched Qiao Xiya deeply, and she doesn't want to delay for a moment now. If Qiao Xiya just wanted to rescue her father as soon as possible, then at this moment, Qiao Xiya also hopes to solve the case as soon as possible, so as not to cause more people to go missing and die.

"Alas......" Bai Ning sighed, shook his head, and followed.

Everyone followed Yao Mingxi to the mouth of an alley, at this time, night gradually fell, and the dim alley was like a poisonous snake quietly waiting for its prey. Bai Ning looked around, but none of the houses were lit with candles.

"Miss Qiao, it's very ...... here" Before Bai Ning's words fell, he felt a sharp pain in the back of his head, and before he could turn around and see the attacker, Bai Ning fell to the ground and fainted.

Almost at the same time, everyone was attacked and fell to the ground and passed out.

In a coma, Qiao Xiya faintly felt that she was being lifted up and quickly left.

~~

"What about these people?" The cold voice was a little muffled, and I couldn't hear men and women.

"Let them sleep here." Jinyu's hoarse voice with a hint of evil smile tore through the peaceful night. A beautiful face is half illuminated by the moonlight, and the half-light and half-dark face coupled with the scarlet raised corners of the mouth make people shudder.

"Master, he's coming." A voice came overhead, a pointed brim blocking out the moonlight.

"You guys, get these men out." Jinyu's slender fingers pointed at Yao Mingxi and the others, "With them, these few can go out sooner or later." With that, Jinyu turned around, and with the support of the maid on the side, got up the ladder and returned to the ground.

"Why are you here?" Jinyu's cold voice couldn't hear any emotion.

"To see what you do, of course." The voice in the black cloak was not angry.

"You can't trust me?" Jinyu wasn't annoyed, just smiled faintly, "Since you want to see it, then please don't dislike the long distance, come with me to take a look." Jinyu said, waved his hand, and the two pure black horses were quietly led to Jinyu's side, "Let's go." After speaking, he turned over his horse and walked towards the west gate in the hazy moonlight.

The two horses silently went out of the city from the west gate, through an open field outside the city, in front of a dense forest, Jinyu tightened the reins, and the black horse under the crotch stood still.

"Why don't you leave?" Facing the dark dense forest, the black cloak was a little inexplicably uneasy.

"I'm sorry, the next road needs to blindfold you." Jinyu's voice sounded like a ghost crawling out of hell at this moment, making the black cloak shudder.

"What if not?" The fear in his heart made the black cloak instinctively reject Jinyu.

"Then let's go back." As he spoke, Jinyu exerted force under his waist, and as soon as he pulled the reins, he turned the horse's head.

"Wait." The black cloak repented. To see the results is the task given above, if you don't see it, you can't go back by yourself. Thinking of this, the black cloak gritted his teeth and agreed, "Blindfold, keep walking!" ”

Jinyu let out a gurgling laugh in her throat, took out a dense strip of black cloth from her arms, and held it in her hand: "You came by yourself?" Or shall I help you? ”

"Come by yourself, come by yourself." I don't know why, the black cloak just wants to get as far away from Jinyu as possible at the moment, if it weren't for the fact that he suddenly wanted to see some results, he wouldn't have gone out of the city with Jinyu.

Jinyu watched the black cloak tie the strips of cloth, and then adjusted the direction and continued to set off. The horse under the black cloak shook its head slightly, shook its mane, and followed.

I don't know how long I walked blindfolded, but I felt that my crotch dismounted and stopped, and the black cloak wiped the cold sweat in the palm of his hand on his body, and asked tentatively: "Arrived?" Can I take off the strip of cloth? ”

After waiting for a long time, the black cloak did not wait for an answer, he tentatively lifted the strip of cloth in front of him a little, only to see that there was a faint torch burning not far away, and there was no one around. He tore off the strip of cloth, and glanced around with some annoyance, and looked around, and the anger in his heart was replaced by fear, and then he found that he was surrounded by countless large water tanks, and in each water tank was a girl, all the girls were naked, closed their eyes, lying on the edge of the water tank, and the lower half of their bodies were soaked in the black water, and they couldn't see clearly. The water in the tank has a strange aroma. The torches not far away flicked a few times from time to time, as if calling him to pass.

The black cloak swallowed, trying to control the fear in his heart, pulling the reins tightly, urging his crotch to dismount and move forward.

There are six large water tanks illuminated by torches, and there is also a naked girl lying in it, the difference is that these six girls are open-eyed, and the lower half of their bodies soaked in the water is a huge fishtail that is extremely gorgeous and shining with strange lights.

"It's done...... It's done! The flesh on the face of the black cloak trembled uncontrollably, and his eyes were full of greed, he turned over and dismounted, walked to the water tank, and stretched out his hand to it in disbelief. The girl in the water tank seemed to be frightened, reflexively twisted her waist, the huge fishtail stirred the water, splashed a string of splashes, the cold splash slapped on the face of the black cloak, the black cloak was stunned, wiped off the water droplets, and laughed loudly.

The laughter alarmed the six maidens, and the uneasy sound of the water mingled with the laughter of the black cloak, causing the torches to jump incessantly.

~~

A ray of cold moonlight shone on Qiao Xiya's face, and the ensuing fresh air poured into her nostrils, and Qiao Xiya felt the power of life again. "Miss Joe? Qiao Xiya, are you there? The extremely anxious and quite familiar call made Qiao Xiya slowly open her heavy eyelids.

"I'm ...... Save me......" Qiao Xiya tried to squirm her lips, but found that she couldn't make any sound.
