Chapter 8: The Male and Female Thieves
Night.
Black clouds cover the sky and no starlight is visible, and the towering clouds are as bright as day, just like a sea of fire on the dark earth, spreading along the river to the end of the sky.
With the redevelopment of Dyefang Street, almost all the residents in the surrounding area have moved away, and at night, it becomes a black hole in the sea of lights, leaving only a glimmer of light in the middle.
In the small courtyard of Shuanggui Lane, the Night Terror Hall changed into a night suit, leaned against the door with the dragon ring knife in his arms, looked at the afterglow of the lights in the direction of the imperial city, and thought about the ginkgo tree in his heart.
Bird, who is energetic at night, squatted on his shoulders and "cooed ......", probably saying that he went to buy rice in the afternoon, and the poached egg did not buy dried meat for it.
The doors and windows of the main house were closed, and the lights were on inside, and a conversation between the two women came out:
"Master~ You let me go too, I'm about to suffocate to death in the capital......"
"You just copy the book at home, last time your master took the homework, you couldn't memorize a word, what did you teach me to be?"
"I'm from the rivers and lakes, what's the use of reading......"
"Yunli!"
"Alas~ Master, your breasts are so big, how can you milk the child after you are strangled ......"
"Shh
The room fell silent.
Night Terror heard that Lady Locke was pestering the little watermelon, and raised her eyebrows, but she didn't make a sound to scare.
Squeak –
After a while, the door opened, and the lights in the room fell in the courtyard, reflecting the reflections of two women, one large and one small.
Luo Ning was wearing a black night suit, and as soon as she opened the door, she saw the night terror hall leaning against the door, her beautiful eyes were slightly startled, and then she was annoyed, obviously suspecting that the night terror hall had sneaked to the door and was peeking at her to change her clothes just now.
But Yunli is behind it, it's hard to say clearly, and she has no evidence, so it's better to forget it.
For the sake of ease of movement, without the sound of breaking the wind, the night clothes are all tights, there is no hem of the robe, you can see the pants, and the legs are leggings.
Luo Ning is already tall, wearing such a body, it can be seen that her legs are extremely long, her waist is tightly tight, she looks a big circle smaller, her face is covered with a scarf, her hair is also wrapped, and only a pair of seductive eyes are exposed.
Night Terror Hall glanced up and down, thinking that this dress was also ...... Well...... Uniform temptation?
Finding that Lady Luo was glaring at him, Night Terror laughed, raised his hand and pulled up the face towel to cover his face:
"Let's go."
Zhe Yunli is still dressed as a little girl next door, holding a knife in her hand, listlessly leaning against the door frame, and her fingers turn the little turtle ornament she bought for Bird:
"Brother Shocking, let me follow the wind, how boring I am at home alone~"
Luo Ning turned around and pointed to the pen, ink, paper, and inkstone on the table, and his voice was cold:
"Before you come back, if you don't finish today's homework, you will be punished for three days and not allowed to go out!"
"Alas~"
Zhi Yunli had nothing to do about it, so she reluctantly returned to the house, and lay on the bed on all fours:
"Got it! Pay attention to safety. ”
Luo Ning was not a strict mother in the past, and she was a little helpless about this, and after closing the door, she jumped on the wall silently;
"Let's go."
The bird raised its wings: "Tsk! ”
Night Terror Hall flew up and followed Luo Ning's side, like a male and female thief who went out at night, silently out of Dyefang Street and sneaked towards the center of the city.
At noon, it was learned that the deceased had been tricked by the Pingtian Sect, and the Night Terror Hall had plans to conduct another autopsy and inquired about the location of the morgue.
After running through the night for a while, the two came to a yamen in the north of the city.
Yamen is subordinate to the anti-theft department of the Criminal Department, controlling the bandits in Beicheng, the morgue is in the corner of the Yamen, and the lights inside are sparse at night, and the arresters with official knives hanging from their waists patrol the perimeter, but there are not many people.
Whew~~
Night Terror Hall and Luo Ning were on the same house near the yamen at the same time, and first asked Bird Bird to investigate the situation near the morgue, and soon Bird Bird flew back:
"Tsk."
Signaling that there are only two guards.
Luo Ning was soft and incomparable when cooking, but she was full of chivalry when she was doing things, her eyes were extremely focused, she carefully checked the surroundings, and after making sure that there was nothing unusual, she raised her hand slightly, and crossed the courtyard wall of the yamen with the night terror hall one after another, and landed among the buildings.
At night, the yamen was already dispersed, and the yamen was sparsely populated, and only birds and insects could be heard.
The night terror hall silently touched the roof of the house, and soon came to the northwest corner of the yamen.
The morgue is not a good place, and the officials on duty here will definitely not live in the same room as the corpse, they are all in the class room outside.
The night terror hall fell silently on the roof of the lit house, and when I listened, I could see a whisper from below:
“…… The people of Heiya are also interesting, and today Lord Yuwen met those two fools on Zhuji Street......"
……
Luo Ning landed in front of the Night Terror Hall, and when she heard this conversation, she blinked her eyes, and felt a little familiar - when she first saw the Night Terror Hall, she was pressed on the bed, and the Night Terror Hall was full of meat words to tease her, and there was such a sentence in it......
That's what it means!
This little thief......
Night Terror Hall was listening carefully to the movement in the house, and suddenly felt a murderous aura!
Yu Guang observed, but found that the Luo Nuxia beside him, glancing at him with a pair of cold eyes, as if looking at a lewd who does all kinds of evil, if it wasn't for the wrong occasion, I'm afraid he would have drawn his sword to castrate!
Night Terror blinked:
“?”
“……”
Luo Ning didn't say anything, after all, it had been so long, she retracted her gaze, and after making sure that there was nothing unusual around, she landed outside the morgue first, and gently hooked her hands.
The Night Terror Hall had the birds stand guard in the trees, silently landing on the wall, surveying the morgue's surroundings.
The nature of the morgue is special, in order to preserve the corpse for a long time, it is mostly built in a shady place, this morgue seems to be used often, the whole is made of stone, there are no windows, only a small door.
Luo Ning touched the door, and skillfully locked it with an iron needle; Night Terror Hall is behind him, paying attention to the surrounding movements.
After the lock was opened, Luo Ning held it in his hand, held the wooden door with his palm, opened it slowly, and suddenly there was a burst of coolness in the dark room where he couldn't see his fingers.
The resident population of the capital is more than one million, dragons and snakes are mixed, people and ghosts will do some kung fu, even if the laws are strict, they can't avoid murders.
For this reason, the morgue of the Anti-Theft Division was quite large, with thirty beds in it, and more than a dozen corpses covered with white cloths.
Luo Ning entered the morgue first, followed by the Night Terror Hall, closed the door silently, and then raised his hand to let Luo Ning stand at the door and lift the white cloth himself.
Luo Ning knew what it would be like to store a corpse for a few days in the summer, and she didn't refuse the kindness of the Night Terrors.
"Hoo ......"
Night Terror took out the fire fold, and after it was lit, there was a little more light in the dark room, and he blocked the faint light with his hand, and went to the wooden bed where the corpse was stored, and carefully looked for the corpse under the white cloth.
The Great Wei can't help but use swords, and the corpses that can enter the Yamen morgue must be a horizontal death, with mutilated limbs and a scorching summer, the scene under the white cloth can be imagined.
It can be said that under each piece of white cloth, there are different big surprises. Night Terror Hall frowned in disgust just by opening the first one.
Fortunately, such an 'unboxing' did not last long, and when the third body was found, Zhao De, a small official of the Ministry of Works, was found.
Night Terror Hall secretly breathed a sigh of relief, tilted his head slightly, Luo Ning walked up to him silently, and by the light of the fire, he checked the blackened palm prints on the corpse's chest.
Seeing Luo staring at it for a long time, Night Terror couldn't help but lean into his ear:
"How?"
"This ......"
Luo Ning took the fire fold from the hand of the Night Terror, leaned over to the corpse and carefully examined the texture of the skin, and his eyes showed deep doubts:
"It's indeed 'gossip swimming in the palm', the strength is not heavy, but the fire is extremely sophisticated, and I believe it when Zhang Protector moves his own hands. But judging from the size of the palm, it is definitely not a person in my teaching. ”
Night Terror Hall pondered slightly: "Could it be the apprentice that Zhang Henggu taught before?" ”
"Impossible, several of Zhang Protector's apprentices are all the hall master of the Pingtian Sect, I know them all, and I haven't heard of other apprentices."
"Could it be that someone happened to bump into the move?"
Luo Ning thought for a while, shook his head and said:
"The context of luck is like the layout of a chessboard, there is an old saying that 'there is no same game in the ages', and there can be no two games of chess in the world that are exactly the same, and there are subtle differences in the likeness. This palm print is exactly the same as Zhang Protector's 'Swimming Palm', and it must have the same origin. ”
Night Terror nodded slowly, thinking for a moment:
"You wrote to the Pingtian Sect to ask? Since it was created by Zhang Henggu and has the same origin, it is impossible for Zhang Henggu not to know the origin. ”
Luo Ning wanted to nod, but after thinking about it, she turned her head again:
"I'm the anti-thief leader of the Pingtian Sect, helping the court solve the case and find the real culprit, isn't it ......?"
Night Terror Hall really didn't expect Lady Luo to think of this, he spread his hands slightly:
"If you don't help me solve the case, how can I establish my prestige in front of King Jing? Without prestige, how can I save the enemy? ”
Establish prestige?
How do I feel like I'm helping you pursue the Queen......
Luo Ning felt strange in her heart, but she couldn't say it clearly, she didn't say much, and silently studied the details of the palm print.
The two hadn't studied for long, and suddenly there was a sound outside:
"Goo~~Goo~~"
The call of an owl.
The fire fold in Luo Ning's hand was instantly covered, and there was no light in the morgue.
She was listening intently, only to find that the man was holding her and slowly pressing down.
Luo Ning knew that there was movement outside, but did not resist, leaned silently into the thief's arms, and was carried by him to the wooden bed by the wall, listening attentively to the movement outside the morgue......
