Volume 1: The Case of Linzhou Genius Chapter 12: Moonlight Interception
Early the next morning, Duan Ming and Xing Qianqiu left the Spiegel Division one after another.
According to a survey conducted by the Spiegel Division, there are 137 clinics and pharmacies in the city.
Based on last night's research, Duan Ming began to investigate one by one in a specific order.
Unexpectedly, Duan Ming had just finished walking through the three medical halls when he met an acquaintance.
"Hey, sixth, what are you going to do?" A big man walked over.
"Dumbfounded? Why did you come to the south of the city? Duan Ming saw the big man in front of him and said with a smile.
"Alas, don't mention it, how many people haven't died lately in the Ship Division? So it's hiring, and I want to give it a try. "The big man is called Sun Wu, but people who know him love to call him a second stunned.
"What's the matter? Is your mother-in-law willing to let you out of bed? Duan Ming teased.
"Hehe, I'm going to be a dad." Sun Wu's face flushed and scratched his head: "Don't you think about finding a stable job and earning more?" ”
"Yo, congratulations." Duan Ming hugged his fists: "But you have to think about it, this ship division has been eventful recently, and it is a little dangerous." ”
"Hehe, don't look at me stunned, I can carry this." Sun Wu nodded: "Normally, the ship department recruits people, how can we have the share of these little people." Now in this eventful season, those big people can't wait to stay away from the ship division, so I have a chance. As long as I am careful, the dirty water may not be spilled on my body. ”
"Well, it's good that you understand." Duan Ming nodded, thought for a moment and said, "If someone embarrasses you when you arrive at the Ship Division, you will say that you are a friend of the criminal commander of the Spiegel Division." ”
"Torture Commander?" Sun Wu was stunned: "What kind of big man is this?" ”
"The commander of the Spiegel Division, the punishment is a thousand years." Duan Ming said in a deep voice: "However, if it's not necessary, it's best not to mention it, the criminal commander has many more enemies than friends. ”
"Okay, I remember!" Sun Wu nodded: "Thank you, sixth child." ”
"You're welcome." Duan Ming shook his head.
"By the way, Sixth Brother, you haven't been in the south of the city recently, do you know about that big event?" Sun Wu suddenly approached Duan Ming and said.
"What's the matter?" Duan Ming took a step back without a trace and looked at Sun Wu vigilantly.
At this time, except for Xing Qianqiu, no one Duan Ming could absolutely believe it.
"It's that talent, by the way, it's the one next to Lingyang Pavilion." Sun Wu said: "The one who died." ”
"Fang family?" Duan Ming frowned: "What's wrong with his family?" ”
"The old lady of his house is dead!" Sun Wu said.
"Is that the old lady who went in to steal the chickens and then had people kick us out with sticks?" Duan Ming was stunned: "Isn't she quite young?" Why did you die? ”
"Don't you say so?" Sun Wu pursed his lips: "I also heard from Widow Liu, she has a friend who works as a maid in the Fang family." Her friend said that two nights ago, the Fang family was robbed, and the old lady Fang unfortunately let the thief meet her, and then killed her. ”
"Two days ago?" Duan Ming frowned.
"By the way, it's the second night of the River God Festival!" Sun Wu said: "Tsk, this Linyang City, I'm afraid something big is going to happen." ”
"The night of the second day of the river god festival." Duan Ming nodded and said, "But I haven't heard of the Fang family's report recently." ”
"I'll tell you, Qi is here!" Sun Wu looked left and right, and whispered to Duan Ming: "Not only did the Fang family not report the case, but they even hid the news of Old Lady Fang's death, it is said that the burial was quiet, except for the people in the mansion, almost no one outside knew." ”
"There's weirdness." Duan Ming rubbed his forehead: "It seems that I have to go to Fang's house when I have time." ”
"Alright, I'll go first. Haha, when I saw you, the sixth child, I felt a lot more at ease. Sun Wu said with a smile.
"Well, go ahead." Duan Ming nodded: "Be careful in everything, pay attention to safety." ”
"Okay." Sun Wu nodded and left.
Duan Ming pondered what Sun Wu had just said, and continued to explore the medical hall and pharmacy.
When it was close to dark, Duan Ming finally finished exploring these medical halls and pharmacies, but he still found nothing, and he never found that familiar smell.
At this moment, there are fewer and fewer pedestrians on the road, and the vendors have begun to pack their things and prepare to go home.
In the past, Linyang City, even when it arrived, was still brightly lit, so it was not lively.
And in today's Linyang City, once it is night, you can't even hear the sound of birds.
Suddenly, Duan Ming stopped and looked around vigilantly, he vaguely felt that someone around him seemed to be peeping at him.
After thinking for a moment, Duan Ming suddenly quickened his pace and ran in the direction of the Spiegel Division's residence.
It didn't take long for Duan Ming to see a group of patrolling soldiers.
Duan Ming's face was happy, and he was about to wave his hand to the soldier for help.
But at this moment, the sound of breaking the air came into the air, and a man in black jumped down from the beam on the left, and the cold light in his hand instantly slashed towards Duan Ming's body.
The angle of this long knife was extremely tricky, and it directly locked all the directions in which Duan Ming was dodging!
However, the panic on Duan Ming's face was completely gone, and he turned his head and looked at the person with a smile: "Hey, you've finally come out!" ”
As soon as the words fell, a figure rushed out of the alley next to him, and the last one came first, directly stopping the attack of the man in black.
"Dang!" The metal clash shattered the silence of the night.
By the moonlight, the man in black saw clearly that it was the commander of the Spiegel Division!
The man in black suddenly changed his face and was about to run away.
However, how could Xing Qianqiu let go of the man in black, the long knife in his hand continued to hit the man in black like a stormy wave, and the man in black could only be tired of parrying.
"Hey, aren't you trying to kill me? Come on! Duan Ming took two steps back, leaned against the wall, and patted his neck: "Your grandfather and my neck are here, you are here to kill!" ”
When the man in black heard Duan Ming's words, his face became more and more ugly.
But he didn't have any way, he was many times weaker than Xing Qianqiu, if it weren't for Xing Qianqiu to keep him alive, he was afraid that he wouldn't be able to take a single move.
Therefore, how could he have the heart to pay attention to Duan Ming at this moment.
"Tsk, walking in the dark is like no one's land, bold and careful, good at tracking and ambushing." The corners of Duan Ming's mouth rose slightly: "And even if I suddenly speed up, you won't make a move, and I even came here in advance to wait." ”
"Looks like you're familiar with patrol routes, and you know I'm going to encounter a patrol team here and try to call for help."
"But the patrol route changes every day, except for the captains of each team, even the patrol soldiers don't know what they should do before they go on a mission, how can you be so clear?"
"It seems that your people in the Spiegel Division have a lot to do with arranging patrols."
Listening to Duan Ming's words, the man in black was a little flustered.
Suddenly, the man in black gritted his teeth, and instead of dodging or dodging Xing Qianqiu's attack, he threw the long knife in his hand towards Duan Ming.
The long knife had arrived in front of Duan Ming's eyes in the blink of an eye!
