Chapter Seventy-Two: Murder Without a Trace

"Great, Sister Ziyan, I didn't expect you to feel everything I felt, I can't hide it, in the past, after I got sick, after taking the good medicine that Sister Yu'er tried every possible way to find a good medicine, after the illness was cured, I magically had a skill, I seem to be able to understand the language of birds and beasts in nature, in the past, I was terrified, I didn't dare to tell others, today I heard you say this, I dare to confide the truth. ”

Since the third elder brother has that unknown special function, in the palace, he is afraid of being regarded as a demon, so he is clever and sensible, and he has been hiding this secret until today, and he has not confided the truth to everyone.

"Wow, this is so fun, Third Elder Brother, Sister Ziyan, the two of you should have a lot of common language in the future, there are so many languages of birds and beasts in nature, both of you can understand it, what a pleasant and happy thing it should be." Xue Ning couldn't help but sigh with envy.

"yes, if I had this skill, I would die of joy. Zimo was also happy to echo the road.

Just as everyone was happily congratulating the two of them, suddenly the Purple Smoke Girl reminded everyone with a serious expression, "Don't make a sound, I seem to have heard a strange sound." When everyone heard this, they looked at her in confusion.

"Third Elder Brother, I don't know if you noticed it just now, just now there seemed to be a few passing birds talking above our heads, they were saying, "Hurry up and escape from Kyoto, go to the south early to spend the winter, Kyoto can't stay anymore, or it won't be long before there will be a big mess here." ”

"No, no, I was just talking to everyone, but I didn't notice the sound of such birds.

The third elder brother replied truthfully, "It's so strange, why do a few birds make such a sigh, are they afraid that the world will not be chaotic? Kyoto is good, why do you want to say such alarmist things, these broken birds are as hateful as the long-tongued women in human beings, and they love to gossip and chew the root of their tongues when they have nothing to do." ”

"It's hard to say, I just listened to their tone, it didn't look like they were joking. Ziyan frowned, trying to recall the sound and tone of the conversation between the birds and the finches just now.

"Could it be that the wolf demon's whereabouts have been caught by these birds?" asked the Purple Smoke Girl in a whisper.

"It's hard to say, after the cunning wolf demon escaped from Kyoto, I guess he will never give up, after all, my uncle and the alien leader once led thousands of soldiers to destroy his lair and kill so many of his people, he must have a grudge.

Therefore, it is imperative that on the one hand, we must take precautions diligently, beware of the wild wolf demon, on the other hand, we must send more people to capture the absconding wolf demon, this fight is evil, murderous, the most terrible thing is that he is practicing a kind of demon art, to suck the essence of people to increase his demon behavior, we still have to catch him as soon as possible, I am afraid that the night is long and dreamy, and when his demon magic advances by leaps and bounds, even if there are thousands of troops and horses, it is not the opponent of this demon. The third elder brother analyzed worriedly.

Ziyan felt guilty when she said this, she blushed, lowered her head, and muttered in a low voice, "I'm sorry, it's all my fault, I let the wolf demon go." ”

"Sister, don't blame yourself anymore, in the past, you were poisoned by the wolf demon, and when you got sick, you made a mistake unconsciously, you are not to blame, you don't have to blame yourself anymore. For now, let's all cheer up and think about a way, how to deal with the wild wolf demon who escaped?

There has also been a murder in the palace recently, and it is estimated that it was the murderous wolf demon who did it, so it is imperative to hunt demons. Xue Ning was afraid that the eighth sister would blame herself too much, so she hurriedly diverted the topic and guided everyone to think about the demon hunt.

"What Xue Ning said is extremely true, but this wild wolf demon is vicious and abnormal, after escaping unexpectedly this time, I am afraid that I will take precautions, wander around and do evil, and never return to the cave where he lives, it is not easy to catch him. ”

The third elder brother thought of the growing demon magic of the wild wolf demon, and he couldn't help but feel worried.

"I think that the bell must be tied to the bell, and the wolf demon was let go by me, so I will bring him back.

Since he planted the wolf demon poison on me, he must have wanted to train me to be a killing tool, and now the wolf demon doesn't know that you have unlocked the wolf poison for me, so we just need to make a small plan, and let him go and not return. ”

After Ziyan finished speaking, she playfully beckoned, signaling everyone to come closer, she was afraid of leaking the news, and whispered to the people who approached, "I volunteered to be a bait to lure the wild wolf demon out of the hole to save me."

Third elder brother, you only need to secretly do the work of your uncle Dali Siqing, let him tie me up as a sinner who secretly released the wild wolf demon, tie me to the square, ambush people and horses around, and only wait for the wild wolf demon to come to rescue me, you can use poisoned arrows to shoot him down. If your plan fails, I can continue to disguise myself, run away with him, and then look for another opportunity to attack him when he is unprepared. After thinking about it, Ziyan only felt that she could use herself as a bait to lure the wild wolf demon out of the cave to be effective, worthy of everyone, and worthy of the Dali Siqing who rescued her from the wild wolf demon cave.

"This, how does this make it?" said the third elder brother with a sad face.

"Yes, sister, your plan sounds very good, but it is very dangerous to implement, what if the archer does not grasp the strength well and accidentally injures you? What if the wild wolf demon is on guard, or you can't find a chance to attack at all? You do this, so that the government and the opposition will treat you as a sinner, we all know that this is a show to capture the wild wolf demon, but there are so many people who don't know, how can you live in Kyoto in the future, sister?

And sister, you are the only remaining relative in the family, I can't live without you, and I will never agree to your self-righteous and dangerous plan. As soon as Xue Ning thought that Sister Ziyan was going to risk her life and use herself as bait, not counting the loss of catching the wild wolf demon to atone for her crimes, she immediately disagreed.

She is the only one with the eighth sister to rely on her, and she is not willing to let the eighth sister Ziyan take this big risk.

But how could Xue Ning understand what Eighth Sister Ziyan was thinking? She had made such an unforgivable mistake alone, she couldn't forgive herself, and now, she finally thought of a good way to make up for her regrets and make up for her mistakes, so she was determined to achieve this plan wholeheartedly.

Seeing that Xue Ning did not agree with her plan, in order to prevent Xue Ning from obstructing her and preventing her from implementing the plan, Ziyan had to pretend to promise Xue Ning to say, "Sister, don't worry, I won't do what you don't agree with, today, you have been out of the palace for a long time, you should go back, otherwise, if you stay outside for too long, the queen mother should worry about you." Ziyan urged Xue Ning to return to the palace from Dali Temple as soon as possible.

Ziyan's urging really worked, Xue Ning saw that her sister agreed not to risk her life, and seeing that her sister was cured of wolf venom by the third elder brother, she was full of joy, so she happily followed the guards who escorted her back to the palace.

After Xue Ning left, in order to promote the early implementation of the plan, Ziyan simply went to Dali Siqing to discuss the matter in person.

The purple smoke girl was bold and careful, she was worried that Dali Siqing would not agree with her point of view, so when she was talking to him, she used a little ancestral mastery, charm technique, that Dali Siqing, who was originally annoyed by Ziyan for letting go of the wild wolf demon, saw Ziyan girl, her stomach was angry, and she was not in a good mood, as a result, when he inadvertently glanced at Ziyan girl lightly, his brain immediately became uncontrollable.

Ziyan girl's words, originally Dali Siqing was too lazy to listen to half of the sentence, but at this time, he was confused by the charm technique, and immediately praised Ziyan girl with great interest, "What the girl said is very true, the demon hunting plan you came up with is really seamless, I will send someone to arrange it, and strive to attract the wolf demon in the middle of the night tonight, so that the ambushed archers can annihilate him in one fell swoop." ”

Ziyan heard that Dali Siqing easily agreed to her request, not to mention how happy she was, although she was facing the fatal danger of immediately using the wild wolf demon as bait, but when she thought that she would use her brave actions to make up for her mistakes, catch the wild wolf demon, and make up for her mistakes, she became complacent again.

In order to play this scene well, Ziyan specially dressed himself up as unkempt and embarrassed, like a felons who had been imprisoned in Dali Temple Prison for many days. In order to increase the authenticity of the drama, Ziyan had to put on a prisoner's uniform and was taken into prison by Zheng'er Bajing.

Dali Siqing sent someone to post the documents about the execution of the wolf demon's accomplices everywhere to attract the attention of the wolf demon lurking somewhere.

At night, Ziyan was escorted by the guards to the execution square where the archers had been ambushed in advance, which was brightly lit and lit with torches all around, in case the wolf demon came in the dark and could not see his whereabouts clearly.

The Purple Smoke Maiden was tied with ropes and escorted to the square, where a large pile of firewood was piled up at her feet, and when the time of execution came, the firewood would be lit to punish the demon girl who had escaped from the wild wolf demon.

Dali Siqing and the attendants were gearing up, just waiting for the wild wolf demon to come to the rescue of Ziyan, so as to capture him in one fell swoop.

However, everyone was in ambush for a long time, waiting and waiting, only waiting for the crowd of onlookers to disperse repeatedly, and there was no trace of the wild wolf demon.

Look at the hour, it was already the middle of the night, just when the Dali Temple Qing and the ambushed people were waiting anxiously and impatiently, suddenly, an attendant hurriedly came from the palace, and before he could get close, he ran out of breath, out of breath, and shouted loudly, "Tell your lordship, it's not good, something big happened in the palace, and someone just discovered that many of the father-in-law and palace maids who guarded the queen's bedroom died mysteriously." Sir, take the guards and take a look. ”

Hearing the rumors of the attendants, Dali Siqing was worried and secretly complained, the palace murder that occurred the day before yesterday has not been solved, and there were many strange deaths tonight. It seems that the matter of setting a trap to capture the wolf demon can only be postponed, he is afraid that he will not be at the scene, and his subordinates will do something important, so he will pass the order, "Because of the bizarre murder in the palace, the execution of the demon girl is suspended, and you must escort the demon girl back to the prison and take her under strict supervision." ”

After speaking, Dali Siqing hurriedly ordered a few cronies and attendants, and left in a hurry.

By the time he arrived at the palace with his attendants, the palace was already in chaos.

It turned out that a palace maid found out that her companion had died strangely and tragically, so she panicked and found someone to report it.

The scene of death is the palace where the queen lives, a total of three people died mysteriously, a steward eunuch fell to the ground when he was on duty at night, his face was pale, his eyes were round, as if he had seen something strange and terrifying before death, and the other two deceased were palace maids who were powerless, lying on their backs on the bed where they were resting, with a calm face, their eyes closed, and no wounds on their bodies, but they had died of incense.

After the tragedy, there was chaos in the queen's palace, and those maids hugged each other, crying, and did not dare to go out.

The queen was also frightened, she sent someone to send the little brother to her, she hugged her tightly, leaving only the nurse and cronies to accompany her, locked the doors and windows, still felt that it was not safe enough, the little brother was frightened, crying non-stop, coaxing and couldn't be persuaded.

Dali Siqing took the attendants and servants into the room to check around, and found that the doors and windows of the death scene were intact, not damaged by external forces, and there were no traces of struggle left at the scene.

Carefully examining the bodies of the three deceased, except for the fact that there were no injuries on their bodies, the death was basically the same as the victims of the previous wolf demon's crimes, but this time, the wolf demon only sucked the essence of these people, and did not absorb the blood on their bodies.

When did this wild wolf demon sneak into the queen's bedroom and kill people invisibly, everyone doesn't know.

Dali Siqing was secretly frightened while carefully inspecting the scene, if this wild wolf demon wanted to kill his imperial sister and little prince, it would be easy, but this time, he only killed a few innocent palace people and eunuchs to warn everyone, what is the purpose of his doing?"

He pondered the mystery and tried to solve the mystery in between.

In order to ensure the safety of the queen and the prince, Dali Siqing took the attendants and palace guards to turn the queen's bedroom upside down.

Dali Siqing took this half of the white fox tail, looked carefully, and felt that it was somewhat similar to the fox tail in nature, but it was not the same, the half of the fox tail he held in his hand was white, smooth as silk, smooth as water, and the length of this half tail was already the normal length of the entire tail of the fox in the wild.

What kind of fox has such a long tail and has been cut off in the palace? Dali Siqing is puzzled, the port of the half of the fox's tail has long been dried up, and it does not look like it has been newly cut off, so this fox tail has been cut off from the fox a long time ago, and as for whether it was hidden in the palace in the past or only appeared in the palace last night, everyone has no way of knowing.

The investigation was almost at dawn, and it ended hastily, and there was a murder in the queen's palace, which alarmed the emperor, and for the safety of his wife and children, the emperor specially ordered someone to take the queen mother and the little brother to live in another palace of his own temporarily, in order to avoid danger.

After dawn, the emperor personally summoned Dali Siqing for the harem tragedy, in front of the civil and military officials, the emperor was furious for such a tragedy in the harem, he was very angry, condemned the palace guards were ineffective, and gave the wicked an opportunity, he instructed Dali Siqing to send more people, as soon as possible to thoroughly investigate the case, and strive to catch the suspect within three days, otherwise, it is necessary to take off the black veil on the head of Dali Qing.

Dali Siqing, who was accused by the emperor and asked to solve the case within a time limit, had a bitter stomach in his heart, and had nowhere to dump, he secretly speculated in his heart that if the murders in this palace were all committed by the wolf demon, then he was probably not the opponent of this demon, this wild wolf demon came and went without a trace, entering and leaving the palace as if there was no one, killing people without blood, cruel and abnormal, what should be done to capture the wolf demon?

In addition to the Purple Smoke Girl's clever plan to risk her life and lure the wolf out of the hole, he also had to personally invite some demon hunters to deal with the wolf demon.

After making up his mind, the pressure in his heart felt much relieved.

It's just that when Dali Siqing rushed back to his house, all the emotions that had just improved were gone.

The subordinates reported that just two hours ago, the Dali Temple Prison was attacked again, and a black-clothed masked man openly provoked, broke into the prison, and abducted the purple smoke girl imprisoned in the prison.

Although there were many guards in Dali Temple Prison, there was still a lot of heat to deal with the fierce and abnormal black-clothed masked man, and the guards fought with the black-clothed masked man and suffered heavy injuries.

Fortunately, the masked man did not love to fight, but only to save people, and if he went on a killing spree in prison, he was afraid of many deaths and injuries.
