Chapter 26 The night guard catches the head and encounters a surprise attack
"Boss Lu, in your opinion, what does this mean?"
Cui Shiyuan took the strip of cloth and showed it to Lu Qian, like this situation, it was the first time he had encountered it in the rivers and lakes for so long, and it was normal for him to be a little confused in his mind.
And Lu Qian, because he has been around his master since he was a child, is naturally much more experienced than him in dealing with these bells and whistles. At the first time of the incident, he came to the window to check, although the movement was very fast, but even so, he could not find any clues from the bustling pedestrians outside the window.
"If you want me to say, this article seems to be a warning to us, but whether this person who reported the message is friend or foe, it is not easy to make a conclusion for a while. ”
Looking at this piece of cloth, Lu Qian's expression changed, and he touched his chin and fell into deep thought. All kinds of thoughts and speculations are floating in his mind one by one at this moment.
"Gee, what's so hard to say about that. We've all sent us a warning message, can it be an enemy with a bad brain?"
Cui Shiyuan waved his hand, and with his confident logic, blurted out a set of seemingly simple, but almost brainless conclusions.
"I'm afraid it's not that simple, right? If this is the other party's suspicious array and deliberately makes us mess up? If we really believe what we say, it is easy for others to control our movements and be controlled by others everywhere.
In the face of the current mess in the town, Lu Qian's caution and suspicion are not unreasonable. Thieves are in charge, the situation is unknown, and anything can happen at this juncture.
"Boss Lu, I think it's because you've been overworked lately, which has caused you to worry a little too much. Regardless of whether it is a blessing or a curse waiting for us this time, and if we have enough spirits to meet them in the evening, everything will be known. ”
Lu Qian felt that Cui Shiyuan's words were also right, in the past two days, he had patronized and investigated Liu Ji's death, and he had very little time to rest, rather than thinking about it and not being able to understand it, it was better to respond to all changes with the same, and use the current free time to recuperate and prepare for everything that was going to happen.
After a full meal, Lu Qian and Cui Shiyuan each lay down to rest and put it aside for the time being. Speaking of Ji Zhutou, after asking about the progress of Wang Yi and Deng Kun's investigation, his brows tightened, and he scolded angrily: "Waste! When you eat on weekdays, the two of you are good at competing one by one, why do you become so procrastinated in your official duties?"
Seeing that the boss was angry, Wang Yi and Deng Kun, who were full of anger, hurriedly explained: "Catch your head and calm your anger!" The two of us have tried our best to interrogate, but there are too many guests in this inn, and there are not enough people to cause the progress to be slow. ”
Knowing that it was very pale to explain by words, Wang Yi took out a thick pile of records from the table behind him and handed it to Ji Zhutou, which proved that the efforts of the two of them were not empty words.
Ji Zhutou took the record, flipped through it carefully for a while, and found that there were no useful clues, so he waved his hand at the two of them: "You go back to the yamen to rest first, and I will do the rest of the work myself." ”
When the two of them heard this, they felt relieved, and after thanking Ji Zhutou with a fist, they ran back to the yamen in a hurry. On the way, they also discussed with each other: "Hey, Brother Yi, you said that our Boss Ji took the wrong medicine, why is the case so serious this time?"
"Are you stupid, aren't you? I didn't hear the boss say that the superior government of the lord has put enough pressure on him, and if there is no result in this headless case, we must take our yamen to the end. ”
"Oh, but this case is clearly the work of a ghost? Now we have to find a culprit, where can we mortals go to find it?"
As long as we wear this skin for a day, we have to be omnipotent warriors for a day, and as for those excuses or something, you better keep them and go back and tell the adults. ”
"I ...... Where do I dare! Forget it, forget it, our brothers are lucky, if we stay in that inn for the night, and meet a ghost or something, we won't have to take our lives?"
"Ahh Instead of thinking about it, you should talk more and pray for everyone's safety, so that you can do less work. ”
The sunset is recessed in the west mountain, and the wind rises from the willow tops.
The two young people on duty outside the door were stunned when they looked at the sparsely populated street, but they didn't know that on the high wall in the southeast corner, there were several black shadows approaching this side quickly by the moonlight.
Ji Zhutou, who was dry-mouthed during interrogation, called the guy to fill a pot of new tea, and before he could wait for the entrance of the cup, he heard two strange noises outside the door. He didn't take it seriously, and thought it was the two newcomers on duty, who made a noise when they had nothing to do, so he casually sent an old catcher to reprimand and reprimand.
After about half a pillar of incense, the person who was sent didn't come back, and Ji Zhutou couldn't help but be a little suspicious in his heart. It stands to reason that the catcher he just sent has always been old and serious on weekdays, and he will never mess around with newcomers, but why is it gone?
It's now the third watch, although it's not the fifteenth day of the first month, but something is wrong, so I ordered the remaining four catches, pulled out the saber and went with me to find out.
As soon as he pushed open the door, three black, spherical objects suddenly flew in front of him. Ji Zhutou was defenseless at all, and when he reacted, the thing had already smashed into his body.
This time he can smash Ji Zhutou, who has always been proud of martial arts, enough to choke, not to mention the old face, and rubbed a scarlet body. I wanted to shout and scold out of my voice, but I was preempted by a sharp-eyed catcher next to me: "Human head! It's human head......
After he shouted like this, everyone looked carefully at the thing in Ji Zhutou's arms. It doesn't matter if you look at it, but everyone was shocked into a cold sweat - isn't this the old fast catcher who just went out?!
Looking at the two eyes with wide eyes and a stunned expression, they must have been quickly beheaded before they could react, and even the blood flowing in the cavity still maintained its fresh color.
Before the crowd could quickly recover from their panic, four more black-clothed men jumped in from outside the door, all holding willow leaf scimitars, without saying a word, and cutting people when they saw them. In an instant, the two teams scuffled in the hall of the Jiang family's old store.
The martial arts of these black-clothed men are very fast, and the negligent crowd catchers are their opponents? After dozens of rounds, they were beaten to pieces and fell to the ground.
Ji Zhutou was already playing with his life in it, and the whirring sound of a waist knife dance in his hand surrounded himself in the upper, middle and lower three ways, but he was outnumbered after all. When the gang of black-clothed people gradually surrounded them, they were instantly broken. At the same time, several white rays had also struck his neck in unison.
