Now, needless to say, Yingzi must have been captured by the "axe-wielding woman", and she will be the seventh victim. Lang Xiaobai couldn't help but turn black in front of him, and the whole person seemed to have fallen into a bottomless pit.

"The usual practice of the murderous female demon in the past was that after abducting the woman, she must not kill the person until the eighth day. Then Yingzi should still be alive in these eight days, and she must be rescued during this time. ”

He returned to his lodgings in his private car and instructed the manservant: "For these three or four days I will think about important matters in my room, and I will not disturb me in any way, and I will only be allowed to deliver food or letters every day, and I will never enter my room." ”

He strictly admonished the man, and then went into his room, and closed the door.

"There's seven days left, no, just to be cautious, even if there's six days left, right? Within six days, Yingzi's whereabouts must be clarified. ”

Lang Xiaobai sat on the soft sofa chair and looked intently at the newspaper in Dongzhou.

Almost all of the newspapers issued by Dongzhou in the past two years were concentrated in front of him, which he had carefully sorted out and kept in chronological order.

He carefully read the news report about the "woman with an axe" from beginning to end, hoping to get some inspiration from it to save Yingzi.

One day, two days, time flew by, and there was still no clue. Three days, four days have passed, and there is still no progress, Lang Xiaobai's eyes are red, his hair is unkempt, his cheeks have lost weight all of a sudden, and his beard has grown long.

On the fifth day, he continued to desperately flip through the newspaper, but still didn't find any way to save Yingzi. The reports in these old newspapers did not do anything at all. In these reports, from the first victim, Mrs. Xuemei, to the sixth Williamson, all the reports record when he disappeared, what the tragic state of the body was, and the location where the body was found, etc., all the reports are the same and introduce in detail, but they do not mention the appearance of the murderer, the method of abducting the target, how to kill, how to move the body, etc.

Even if Lang Xiaobai has extraordinary wisdom, he can't think of a way to deal with it. "There's no hope." He lamented in despair.

"Tomorrow is the sixth day, and Yingzi only has three days to live." He ran his hands through his hair.

"Yingzi! She must be suffering from terror and pain right now, and may be calling me desperately, calling my name...... And I'm ...... But there was no way to save her.

"Oh! No more...... My head is going to explode. ”

He stood up and opened the window and took a deep breath of air. It was about five o'clock in the afternoon, and the autumn sky was blue, clear and crisp, and the breeze was blowing, cooling his sweat-soaked forehead.

However, his heart was dark, and he stared intently at the flowers blooming in the flower pond in the courtyard.

He began to ponder, then sat back on the couch and pulled out a piece of paper to examine it carefully.

The names of the six people who had been slain by the demons were written on that piece of paper, and at this time, they were listed.

Mrs. Xuemei, the doctor's wife; Fan Ling, women's clothing sewinger; Mo Jiayi, laundry maid; Miss Wong Chiu-yun, the banker's daughter; Miss Glolin, female oil painter; Miss Williamson, Female Caretaker of D nationality. Lang Xiaobai stared at the list with all his attention, it turned out to be like this, it must be so, this is an excellent breakthrough, and it is necessary to conduct a thorough investigation from this.

He clenched his two fists, and his eyes radiated a strange look, what breakthrough did he find?

As the sky darkened, it was time to act immediately. Lang Xiaobai drafted several job advertisements as follows, and then had them published in the morning newspapers of several major newspapers:

Interested in being a female chef with a long period of experience. If you are interested, please write to the newspaper before 5 p.m. today.

Ai Xiaoni

The morning newspaper published the advertisement on the second day, and the name was still in very large black font, so it was very eye-catching. A number of letters arrived at the newspaper office just before 5 p.m., and two others had been telegraphed to apply.

Lang Xiaobai took the letters and telegrams back from the newspaper office, read them carefully, and finally, he picked up a quick letter. He carefully examined the front and back of the express mail before finally opening the seal and examining it very carefully.

"Well, there's something weird about this letter, maybe that's it." He grunted smuttering.

The postmark on the envelope is from the Municipal Post Office, and the full name of the sender's address is: Liao Yaoxuan, No. 9, Lane 27, Dongjiang Street

"Is it really this Liao Yaoxuan?" He flipped through it with a book of Dongzhou celebrities. "Huh? Governor ?......"

This was somewhat unexpected, and he pondered for a while, but just a moment later, he got into his car and arrived at Liao Yaoxuan's mansion at No. 9, Lane 27, Dongjiang Street.

It is a very large and spacious mansion. After Lang Xiaobai handed over his business card, he was led to a study, which was also very generous. Presumably, the owner of the house was very fond of reading, and the bookcase by the wall was stuffed with all kinds of books, both old and new, which had been framed twice, and the spine was printed with bright gold letters, and they were arranged very neatly.

The owner Liao Yaoxuan walked out, at first Lang Xiaobai thought that this mayor must be not young, but at first sight, the other party's age was much younger than he expected, although his hair and beard were a little gray, but his complexion was very good, and he was in good spirits. From the outside, he should be a person who is honest, pure, and gentle and amiable.

"Ah, it's an old man with an extraordinary bearing and elegant manners, am I guessing wrong?" Lang Xiaobai thought to himself secretly and bowed respectfully.

The prefect nodded and smiled, and the two shook hands. Lang Xiaobai felt that the other party's hand was warm and soft.

"I'm Lang Xiaobai, please advise."

"I've heard of the name for a long time, in the Dongzhou social circle, there are probably very few people who don't know the name of Detective Lang Xiaobai!"

"You're too polite to be."

Lang Xiaobai nodded slightly in thanks, but never talked about the newspaper advertisements and express mail, and a gentle and peaceful smile appeared on the face of the city governor.

"Don't be surprised that the contemptible people came to visit suddenly, just because I saw in the newspaper that you are very familiar with the seamstress Fan Ling who was killed by the 'axe-wielding woman'......"

"No, I don't know her very well, it's just because my wife has to let her do it when she sews clothes, so she often goes out of our house. She was a very capable tailor, and my wife was very supportive of her business, so when I heard the news that she had been killed by a murderous demon, I felt sorry for her. ”

"I feel the same way, that demon should extend his claws to such a person, it is really hateful."

"This person is the common enemy of the entire Dongzhou citizens! What did the Security Bureau do, and probably still haven't caught her, right?"

"Not only did she not catch it, but now, this female demon has abducted a seventh person!"

"Is it true?" The mayor's face changed suddenly.

"And the girl I love the most is abducted."

"Huh?" The former chief jerked up from his chair as if he had been bounced up. "Put ...... Take your girlfriend ?......"

His eyes stared at Lang Xiaobai's face, both sympathetic and surprised, and his eyes were full of surprise.
