Chapter 70: Street Murder
West Street, the long street is sparsely populated. Today is the day when the legendary female detective bids for the right to investigate the case, and most of the people in the imperial city have gone to the Mingyue Restaurant on East Street.
Therefore, this street market, which is also lively on weekdays, seems to be particularly deserted.
In the street, a young man was bowing his head, dressed in a priceless purple suit, with his hair tied up and a silver mask. He simply stood there, but he had a strange soul-stirring power. There were always those who wanted to wonder if his face under the mask was really as rumored to be, rotten, and his face was covered with strange floats, like a snake walking on it.
However, those people are curious, and basically none of them dare to try to take off the mask. For whoever dares to try is dead.
The last woman who could sleep beside him was the only one. But she also died.
Gu Beiyun occasionally felt that he was too impulsive these days. After all, Frost is a rare woman who can share secrets with him, but unfortunately she has died at her hands.
Recently he has a new woman who thinks it is new and fun. But that woman is not the one who can share secrets.
"Alas, that's a pity." The young and majestic man in rich clothes, holding a broom, let out a long sigh.
He is the Taifu Temple Secretary who has just taken office in Taifu Temple, and is in charge of the operation of the imperial city market, price control, etc. But he also served as an inconspicuous Taoist official in Taifu Temple.
Like an ordinary sweeper, he had to clean the streets.
But unlike other ordinary scavengers, he is more like a scavenger for some kind of thing, for some kind of person—just waiting for someone who needs his help.
I don't know how long he walked around with a broom. Suddenly, I heard a quarrel in the distance.
"Please! Please don't take it! That's all I'm worth! My granddaughter is still counting on the money to see a doctor......
It was an old woman who spoke, and her voice was very hoarse and deep, almost with a hoarse cry.
The person she begged for, however, seemed very unkind.
"Dead old wissy! Tell you to give me something! It's hard to do something as simple as that!" It was a middle-aged man who spoke.
"Please! Please!"
"you, you old immortal dog! How dare you bite me!"
The quarrel between the two became more and more intense, and they both reached the other corner, and the young man who was still busy sweeping the street.
Gu Beiyun's eyes flashed under the silver mask, and he seemed to be quite satisfied.
He lowered his head again and continued to listen to the movement around the corner next door.
He was just listening, but he seemed to be able to imagine all the scenes there.
"Don't take my granddaughter's life-saving money!" The old woman refused to give her things to the middle-aged man she had suddenly met on the street, and she stepped forward desperately, biting and pulling at the gangster with all her strength, trying to protect her burden.
However, she is older, and her strength is small, and the other party is a middle-aged man with five big and three thick. Therefore, the old woman's beating of him not only did not have any effect, but was like tickling.
The man in front of the old woman was wearing an ordinary cloth robe, but his face was covered, and it was obvious that he had gone out today, with the intention of robbing the house.
You must know that today's crowds are gathered at Mingyue Restaurant. Therefore, he specially chose this time to go out, counting on a random lamb on the street, and then slaughtered him severely.
Where did you think that when you went out to wander around today, you would meet not only a sheep, but also an old fat sheep! Coincidentally, she still has some granddaughter's life-saving money, and she wants to rush to the pharmacy to find a doctor to treat her granddaughter!
Just dreaming and waking up laughing!
Although the man was masked, he couldn't stop his greedy face that was almost overflowing under the black masked scarf.
"Bring it to Lao Tzu! You old thing!" As he spoke, the man grabbed the burden and pulled it hard.
The old woman could not match the strength of this man, and she was snatched away at once.
After the man took the burden in his hand, he immediately opened the bag, and then took out the silver inside, all of which were white flowers. His eyes lit up.
"Hahaha!" Although the man was masked, his whole face was still trembling with laughter, "Hahaha! Old lady! I thank you old lady! I'll take your money to eat, drink and be merry!" Prostitute women!"
After the man finished speaking, he closed the burden again, then hid it in his pocket, turned around and planned to leave.
But how could the old woman let him go! That's her granddaughter's life-saving money! Her granddaughter still has a high fever!
Seeing that the money in the bag was about to be taken away, the old woman was in a hurry, and the whole person stepped forward and pounced, biting the man's arm fiercely.
The man let out a painful cry and shook the old woman away. The old woman's frail body fell to the ground, and she fell down at once, and then her whole body was torn so badly that she could no longer stand up.
The man still seemed to be angry, and he stepped forward and kicked the old woman's stomach, shoulder, and face several times in a row.
"You dog dare bite me! You're a! I'll kick you to death, I'll kick you to death!"
"Get out of here! You dog!"
The middle-aged man said and made up for it again, and when that foot went down, the old woman's voice that was crying in pain became weaker and weaker, and finally it was completely gone. The old woman closed her eyes and fainted.
The middle-aged man didn't bother to check whether the old woman was dead or not, so he took a sip directly.
"Damn, I didn't look at the yellow calendar when I went out today, I'm unlucky." After speaking, he clapped his hands, straightened his clothes, and then turned around, humming a little song and left.
Recently, the deeds of the female detective in the imperial city, no one knows, no one knows. Therefore, when the villains committed crimes, they did not have a fluke mentality. On the contrary, after the appearance of this female detective, their mentality became even more arrogant.
Sooner or later, he will be caught, so it is better to play with him presumptuously.
The middle-aged man also felt that he would sooner or later be caught by the female detective or the three law divisions, so he simply decided to eat, drink and have fun before being arrested.
He was going to rob the money today, and then go to Xiaoxiang Building to be chic and happy. I didn't expect that thanks to the blessing of this dead old woman, he could not only be chic, but also proud.
I have long been unaccustomed to the *** dogs in Xiaoxianglou who look at people low, and every time they go to consume, they treat each other according to the price they give. As soon as the dignitaries and nobles went, they couldn't wait to pout their buttocks, and they were slapped by the dignitaries at will.
As soon as he came from a poor background, he was called a tall and white lotus, as if he really regarded himself as a noble official lady, looking at people with two nostrils!
Hey, hey, with such a lot of money today! They are not allowed to be considerate and gentle, and entangle with him!
The middle-aged man thought and left very satisfied.
After he left, Gu Beiyun walked towards the old woman.
The old woman, who was originally unconscious, finally regained some consciousness at this moment.
In her haze of vision, she finally saw a richly dressed man walking towards her.
"Official...... Official...... Please...... Please help me get that money back......
She was beaten all over her body and couldn't breathe, but her first thought was not to ask someone to save her, but to ask for the money back!
Because that's the life-saving money for her granddaughter! She's old and useless, so she doesn't feel anything. But her granddaughter! Her lovely granddaughter is still so young...... Her granddaughter must not be fine!
"Official......" The old woman's gaze finally became much clearer as the man approached. She could see the man's identity clearly.
Even though she had never met him, she had heard of his identity. It is said that several princes of His Majesty today were born with diseases, and the four princes who loved him the most often wore a silver mask because of his mutilated face.
When the old woman realized the identity of the visitor, her eyes showed a little relief.
The old woman thought as she reached out and grabbed the trouser leg of the richly dressed man in front of her.
"Your Highness...... Fourth, His Highness...... Please help me get that money back, my family is in charge of the small pastry business in the market. Your Highness, you really like my pastries."
Gu Beiyun was grabbed by his trouser legs, and he felt uncomfortable in his heart.
But the old woman's words reminded him, oh, Fu's pastry. He really liked the pastry.
That's an old acquaintance.
How nice. He likes old acquaintances the most on weekdays.
"Are you the one in charge of making the pastries?" The man's beautiful deep voice sounds kind to me at this moment.
"Mainly responsible for the start, mainly my daughter-in-law—"
Before the old woman finished speaking, Gu Beiyun muttered a sentence in her mouth, and suddenly a red light suddenly appeared, like a firework burning, which was extremely bright.
The red light flashed, and the old woman was strangled on the spot.
The old woman's eyes were still round, but unfortunately they could no longer move. Her dying look of astonishment was an expression of her inner confusion.
She really didn't know why this noble fourth prince wanted her life. Although she was beaten by the gangster, she still breathed a sigh of relief.
She believes that as long as she has time to be treated, it will be no problem. But they killed her. It seems that I have been waiting here for a long time, just waiting to make up for this last game.
This is the clearing work arranged by Gu Beiyun, the newly appointed Taifu Siqing, for himself: responsible for making up the last link after all the gangsters commit crimes.
That's the perfect clean-up, isn't it?
There are too many people who commit crimes in this world, but their hands and feet are not clean when they commit crimes, which leads to endless troubles. Besides, the case of the undead, what is the point of that? Z.br>
After the old woman died, the soul was separated from the body, and she still did not forget to ask for help from the cruel murderer in front of her.
Because it was the only one she could ask for.
"Your Highness! Today's events, no matter who asks the old body, the old body will not say it. Please also Your Highness, be sure to help me get that money back!
Your Highness! The life of the old body is not worth much! But please save Your Highness—"
The soul of the poor old lady was completely annihilated by the man in front of her and the wind before she could finish her words.
"It's noisy." Gu Beiyun's apricot-like eyes flashed, and his eyes were full of disgust.
Wearing a purple robe, the fourth prince with a noble status had just gotten up, but he saw a man who was also dressed luxuriously appeared around the corner of the street.
Gu Yangjing stood around the corner, with a straight face, looking at him coldly.
