Chapter III: Bloody Cases

The moon shines on the head.

After nightfall, Dancheng looks down from the sky, like a still shadow puppet play, but in this silent picture, there is a restless little black dot, which is constantly moving.

At this time, Qin Luo jumped along the ridge of the roof and jumped onto the roof of another house, his strength was also very old-fashioned, and he barely stepped on the sound.

Ever since he cultivated, he had been constantly exercising his ability to control the aura in all aspects.

Parkour on the roof of Dancheng at night is one of the projects.

At first, he was just parkour on the roof of his house, but when he became proficient, he stepped on the roofs of Dancheng at night.

Which house has a hole in the roof that will leak rain, it is estimated that he knew it before the owner.

Qin Luo continued to move back and forth on the top of dozens of rooms, approaching the edge of the city wall little by little, and it was also the rest point at the end of his practice halfway every night.

There is an abandoned watchtower here.

Of course.

This watchtower cannot be said to be abandoned, but the doors of the tower are usually locked, and no one opens the door.

Qin Luo jumped off the roof, made contact with the ground and took two steps forward, cushioning the momentum of the fall, and then took two steps to go around to the other side of the watchtower.

Taking a breath, Qin Luo took a few steps on the wall of the watchtower with his strength, and when he reached the window of the watchtower that had been opened by him a long time ago, he turned over and went in.

Stepping on the creaking stairs, Qin Luo came to the top of the watchtower.

This is the second highest place in the entire Dancheng, second only to the newly built attic in their yard.

However, Qin Luo still prefers to stand silently on this watchtower overlooking the whole city, low at his feet, like a black Xuanwu.

And the only two places in the city that are brightly lit all night are the eyes of Xuanwu.

On the left eye is the Qin family compound, the residence of the most prominent family in the city.

The right eye is the Drunken Monarch Tower, a good place to stay overnight during curfew.

Qin Luo is familiar with these two places as well as his own home, but the former is indeed his own home.

He came to this guard tower every day, at first to overlook the distance, after all, he traveled to this game known for its excellent scenery, and it was a pity not to enjoy the scenery much.

Later, he got used to seeing the city from a bird's-eye view, with thousands of families laughing and laughing inside, while he was alone, in a game world that only he knew was unreal.

The only thing that can make him feel at ease is the darkness that envelops him.

Of course.

It also allows him to think very clearly, thinking about the confusion that cannot be solved in the noisy and noisy environment during the day.

For example, what Qin Luo is thinking about now is how he can build a successful foundation in the future after he reaches the ninth level of qi training.

The cultivation exercises recorded in that "Shenmu Decision" only ended in the Qi training period, and according to Qin Luo's estimated speed, it would take him about another four or five years to reach the point of cultivating Qi Ninefold.

At that time, I will definitely go further, and I can't be stuck like this because of the break of "Shenmu Decision".

Qin Luo felt the cool breeze blowing in his face and sighed slowly.

"Now I'm a cultivator, and I can't do it on my own, and it seems that I can't stay in Dancheng all the time, and I have to open up a new map......"

He interrupted his thoughts, frowning.

There was a faint smell of blood in the cool breeze blowing in the face.

You must know that after his cultivation, although his five senses have been greatly improved, but now he is on a sentry tower dozens of meters away, and if he can smell the smell of blood, it means that the amount of blood exposed to the air must not be less.

Qin Luo took advantage of the moonlight and glanced around.

Everything was calm, even the smell of blood in the wind had subsided, but he was sure it wasn't his hallucination.

He glanced around again, and finally knew what the feeling of something was wrong in the calm scene.

Because the surroundings were so quiet, it was so quiet that there was not even a single figure to be seen.

You must know that the city wall is not far away, and there will be people on duty on it at night, although those people generally find a place to sleep in the second half of the night, but it is impossible that in the first half of the night, the duty position on the city wall will be empty.

There is another point, that is, the watchmen who patrolled the streets disappeared at this time.

"There will be ghosts when you come home." Qin Luo said secretly in his heart.

Now he's at the high point, but doesn't notice anything out of the ordinary.

It could only be that the other party was moving too fast, and when he smelled blood, that person had already dealt with the scene and hid.

Then this person must be a veteran, and the danger factor for ordinary people is extremely high.

Of course, it cannot be ruled out that it was a gang, and if it is a gang, then the cooperation of this group of people is also very high.

Although he is a cultivator, he doesn't have much actual combat experience, so he still has to be very vigilant.

Qin Luo thought as he walked down the stairs to the window, this time he didn't jump directly from the window as he had done before, but chose to step on the protrusion of the wall, and climbed down very lightly but quickly.

He had been hiding in the shadows, and had walked under the walls, about four or five men high.

You must know that the guards on the city wall have disappeared, so if he goes up the stairs step by step, he may encounter the murderer squatting down.

Of course.

No matter how strong the other party is, Qin Luo feels that he can't beat him.

But he wasn't sure how many people there were.

If when he captures one of them, the movement is too loud and the others run away, then it will be quite troublesome for him to search one by one in the future.

So he clinged to the wall, and climbed it hand and foot.

This climbing technique was learned from a local herb collector when he went to Linglu Mountain to collect medicine.

In order to collect the best elixir, those medicine pickers often have to climb on the cliff, and they don't have Qin Luo's cultivation, so if they accidentally fall down, there is not one in ten thousand who survives.

Therefore, the climbing skills of the herb pickers have basically been exercised to the point of perfection.

Although Qin Luo has only learned five or six percent of this climbing skill, his physical fitness is stronger, and the difficulty of climbing this city wall is still much easier than that of the cliff.

After about two or three breaths, Qin Luo stood on top of the city wall.

Standing on the city wall, the smell of blood that seemed to be absent was smelled by Qin Luo again.

"Sure enough, something happened."

Qin Luo half-squatted, leaning against the city wall, and walked extremely fast towards the bloody place.

After he turned the corner, a simple corner tower appeared in front of him, and there were several blood marks of different shades at the entrance, which extended into the building.

Qin Luo squatted in place, observed the situation, and analyzed and restored the approximate situation at that time.

There is a high probability that there is a gang on the opposite side, and after touching the city wall, they quickly solved the guards gathered here in the corner tower, and then one person dragged a corpse into the corner tower, so there were several blood marks of different shades at the door.

He took a deep breath, lowered his heart rate and breathing rate, and cautiously touched the door of the corner tower.

When he came out to parkour, in order to be light, the Cold Rain Sword was put at home by him, so now he doesn't even have a weapon in his hand.

Sticking to the door, observing the corner tower for a while, and finding that there was no movement inside, Qin Luo walked in the door.

Even if he was mentally prepared, when he saw the scene in front of him, he couldn't help but say, "Grass ......"

The white moonlight shone on the red-stained bluestone floor, and several corpses were laid horizontally.

Looking at the frightened corpse, he resisted the discomfort and squatted down to check.

There were basically only two wounds to each corpse, one on the neck to cut the arteries and vocal cords, and the other in the abdomen, hastening their death.

Qin Luo stretched out his hand to close their eyes and slowly stood up.

The other party's methods are cruel and simple, and it is a gang crime, and he ran to Dancheng at the risk of killing the official guards, and the plan must not be simple.

After realizing this, Qin Luo quickly stood up.

If the opposite side comes for wealth, then the most conspicuous target in Dancheng is his own home.

And now there is only his brother in the family, and dozens of servants.

The only thing that has some combat effectiveness is the nursing home of the team of 12 people.

It's okay for these nurses to catch the thieves who are spying on the Qin family, but when they encounter these murderous people, I'm afraid they won't last more than a quarter of an hour.

So if you can't get back in time......

The Qin family, in danger!

Even if Qin Luo took revenge and killed all the murderers at that time, he felt that he would have a bad feeling in his heart.

After all, after getting along for the past five years, Qin Yuan, as his eldest brother, although he chattered a little, he was really for his good, and he didn't have to worry about everything as a younger brother, and he properly handled all kinds of matters of the Qin family.

"Whew."

Qin Luo rushed out of the corner tower, stepped on the battlements, and rushed straight out of the city wall like a sharp arrow.

After landing steadily, he didn't slow down a step, and according to the impression in his mind, he ran directly to the Qin Mansion.

……

The red lantern shines high.

The ground is also red.

It's just that the red on the ground is not the light of lanterns, but the blood that fills the house.

"As long as you don't continue to hurt our Qin family, you can take the money and antiques in the mansion."

Qin Yuan sat at the top of the hall, his right hand clenched in his fists trembled slightly, but his tone of voice was still steady.

Just a quarter of an hour ago.

There was a rush of fighting and screams in the front yard.

Then the Zhong Nursing Courtyard in the house ran in covered in blood, saying that there were many strongmen who broke into the house.

He originally wanted to retract the escaped courtyard, and then rely on the high walls of the inner courtyard to guard for a while, waiting for the government to come to support.

However, the smiling man in front of him was obviously a master, and he jumped directly over the high wall of the inner courtyard nearly three feet high.

The nurses in the courtyard also wanted to take advantage of the fact that he had just landed, and stepped forward to catch him off guard.

As a result, this person stabbed one by one, and easily solved several nursing homes.

Qin Yuan looked at the familiar faces lying on the ground, just now they were all living people, and now they are all lying on the ground, lifeless.

But he didn't have time to grieve for these people.

His own life is also pinched in the hands of others, and he may flash a knife in front of him at any time, and he will be separated from his younger brother from then on.

Zhou Bai opposite Qin Yuan shook the blade of the knife, and the blood on the knife surface flowed down like water, and the entire knife instantly couldn't see the traces of killing several people in a row just now.

"It is worthy of being the head of the Qin family, and he is still calm and calm until now, it seems that you can be the first person in Dancheng businessman, and you still have some ability." Zhou Bai looked at Qin Luo with interest, "Now my brothers are emptying your Qin Mansion outside, so you see, without absolute power, how can you keep such an external thing as money?" ”

He paused, and then said, "Even, you can't even keep your own life." ”

At this time, Qin Yuan listened to these words, but settled down a lot.

He knew that if the other party was bent on killing him, he would do it as soon as possible, and naturally he would not have to talk to him so much.

And now if the other party is willing to communicate with him, then it has entered the business game that Qin Yuan is familiar with.

It's just that now he has very few chips in his hand, and the other party is holding his own life.

But for the sake of his own life and that of his younger brother, Qin Yuan knew that there was no chance of losing.

He said slowly: "Your Excellency's visit this time, if you come to borrow money, even if you go to get it, as for the affairs of these nursing homes, I will properly settle their families, and I will also settle the official mansion, and no one will trouble you." ”

At this time, Qin Yuan's expression looked calm, but his back was already soaked with sweat.

"Do you know why I've been blocking the road and robbing for so many years, and other mountain bandits have changed several nests, but I haven't done anything at all?" Zhou Bai smiled coldly, "Because what we are pursuing is not to leave a living mouth, so few people know our specific situation." ”

Qin Yuan saw the attitude of the other side, and secretly said that he was going to suffer.

Since the other party has said so, the other party will definitely not be relieved if he is alive.

Qin Yuan was silent for two seconds, and then said, "My Qin family has an underground dark room, which is specially used to collect treasures, and its value is much higher than the yellow and white things that are clearly displayed outside. ”

"You want to trade this for your life?"

"Not really." Qin Yuan shook his head, "I saw your appearance, so you can't keep me, but my brother Qin Luo slept in the room, he must not know what happened here, and he hasn't seen your appearance, so as long as you promise not to move my brother, I will take you to that dark room." ”

Zhou Bai squinted his eyes slightly, a little tempted.

Originally, he was thinking of leaving after fishing for the last vote this time, so he must have made as much money as he could without endangering himself.

And since Qin Yuan was so conscious at this time, it was not impossible to let his younger brother who had never seen his face go.

What's more, I haven't personally gone down the mountain many times over the years, and I am more in charge.

After returning to the cottage, get rid of these subordinates, take this large amount of money and fly away, and then find a sect to offer, get shelter, and then establish a small family attached to the fairy gate.

Of course.

He prefers to go back on his word.

The corners of Zhou Bai's mouth outlined a subtle arc.

"Then do as you say, but you'll have to take me as quickly as possible, or my men will be quick, and they may find your brother before I can find the vault."

"Nope." Qin Luo was also a little tough when he saw the other side at this time, "I want to see my brother leave the house first, and then I'll take you to the dark room." ”

"Poof."

Zhou Bai suddenly punched Qin Yuan in the abdomen, and after withdrawing his hand, he looked at Qin Yuan, who was curled up in the chair in pain, and said lightly: "If you don't have the strength in your hand, what qualifications do you have to talk to me about more conditions." ”

"Stand up and take me over." He said indifferently and walked towards the door.

Just as Zhou Bai turned around, there was a bang above his head!
