"what happened?"
Seeing Xu Ning's hurry, Tao Qingping also walked over.
"Master Tao..."
The city guard also saluted Tao Qingping, and then explained: "There was a murder case in our alley, which may involve a magic gate."
"A murder involving the Demon Sect?"
Tao Qingping was also shocked.
Tao Qingping is also very clear about the murder case of the demon martial artist in Lushui Lane a few days ago.
"Let's go and have a look together."
Tao Qingping also ignored the exhaustion after the journey.
There is no small matter when it comes to the magic gate.
Tao Qingping locked the door, and the three hurried to the scene.
"Where did the murder happen?"
While walking, Xu Ning asked.
"It happened at Fengrou Leather Store."
The city guard replied truthfully.
"Fengrou Leather Shop?!"
At this moment, Tao Qingping's eyes widened, his face full of surprise.
"Yes, Lord Tao."
Chengwei didn't know why Tao Qingping had such a big reaction.
Seeing this, Xu Ning suddenly realized something: "Qingping...is this fur shop just..."
"Yes."
Tao Qingping froze for a moment, then nodded, "That's where Nie Xiaowei married."
"Nie Xiaowei is that girl..."
Tao Qingping added another sentence.
"What exactly happened in the case, do you know?"
Tao Qingping asked the city guard.
Cheng Wei shook his head: "My lord, I don't know. Just after learning that Fengrou Leather Store was involved in the Momen murder case, Master Feng asked me to come to you directly."
"understood… "
Xu Ning nodded slightly, and urged, "Quicker pace."
The Fengrou leather goods store is not very far away, and the three of them walked quickly, and they arrived at the place not long after.
At this moment, the Fengrou fur shop was completely surrounded by city guards.
Pedestrians who stopped to watch were also driven away by the city guards.
"grown ups."
As soon as Xu Ning stepped into the shop, he saw Feng Sigua coming up to him.
"What exactly happened?"
Before Xu Ning could speak, Tao Qingping asked first.
Feng Sigua glanced at the two of them and said, "My lord, let's go to the third floor to see the scene first."
"Row."
Tao Qingping seemed very urgent.
Xu Ning also knew that he was thinking about the girl named Nie Xiaowei.
Under the leadership of Feng Sigua, the three of them reached the third floor.
During this process, Xu Ning also observed the environment of Fengrou Leather Store.
On the first and second floors, all kinds of leather goods are placed, and these leather goods are all processed products.
The leather goods on the first floor are of average quality, but the quantity is large, and the leather goods on the second floor are relatively better, but the quantity is less.
On the third floor, it is no longer a place of business, but a place for people to live.
"These are the people who stayed in the shop after the incident."
As soon as he went up to the third floor, Xu Ning saw nearly ten people squatting together at the corner of the stairs, including men and women.
Judging by their attire, they are either shop assistants or servants and maids who serve people.
Feng Sigua explained the situation: "The murder happened in that room."
He pointed in the direction.
Then, the three entered the room.
As soon as he walked in, Xu Ning saw two corpses lying on the ground.
They were all men, at least in their fifties, with disheveled clothes and half-exposed bodies.
On the chests of the two corpses, each had a deep scratch, which looked like a fatal wound.
Seeing the two dead, Tao Qingping breathed a sigh of relief: "These are the only dead?"
"Yes, Master Tao."
Feng Sigua responded.
"Do you know your identity?"
Xu Ning glanced at Feng Sigua.
"These two people, one is Yao Dage, the shopkeeper of Fengrou Leather Shop, and the other is Zeng Weiming, the shopkeeper of Runyu Medicinal Materials Shop. The two of them have been friends for many years."
Feng Sigua obviously had done his homework in a short period of time, and he answered Xu Ning's questions smoothly.
"According to my interrogation of those fellows and servants before you came, I probably know these things..."
Before Xu Ning asked, Feng Sigua took the initiative to say: "Yesterday night, shopkeeper Yao from the fur shop and shopkeeper Zeng from the medicine shop had a drink together at Runfeng Restaurant. After drinking, shopkeeper Yao didn't go back to his residence, but He brought the shopkeeper Zeng directly to the fur shop."
"The shopkeeper Yao of this fur shop doesn't get along well with his wife, so he often doesn't go home and lives on the third floor of this fur shop."
"After coming here, shopkeeper Yao sent someone to call his new concubine Nie Shi from home..."
Having said that, Feng Sigua paused.
Tao Qingping's expression turned ugly.
Xu Ning also frowned: "Continue talking..."
"According to the clerk in the shop, the concubine Nie was very reluctant at that time, or she was very resistant to having sex with the two of them. But then the shopkeeper Yao beat her up, dragged her into the house, and told the servants not to go to the three Come and disturb them."
Feng Sigua went on to say: "The servants got orders from their shopkeeper, so they obediently didn't bother them. Until the afternoon, the shop assistants didn't see this shopkeeper Yao coming downstairs, so they felt that something was wrong, so they came to check. He yelled outside the door for a while, but there was no response, and after pushing the door open, he saw this sight."
"Dirty!"
As soon as Feng Sigua finished speaking, Tao Qingping punched the door frame. His face was livid, as if venting his anger.
"What about my concubine Nie..."
Xu Ning could still remain calm.
"It's gone."
Feng Sigua said.
"So to say… "
Xu Ning narrowed his eyes slightly: "This little concubine Nie is the biggest suspect?"
"That's right, my lord."
Feng Sigua nodded: "I have sent someone to look for this Nie family, but there is still no news..."
"You said that this case involves the magic door, what's going on?"
Xu Ning asked another crucial question.
"grown ups… "
Feng Sigua asked Wu Zuo to open the wounds on their chests.
Xu Ning stepped forward and took a look.
I saw that the hearts of the two had been completely crushed, as if they had been squeezed.
"The murderer cut open their chests and squeezed out their blood..."
Feng Sigua explained.
After hearing this, Xu Ning immediately understood.
Although it cannot be completely confirmed that it is the method of the Demon Sect, it is inevitable to be suspected of the Demon Sect.
In Momen Kung Fu, practicing Kung Fu with heart and soul is one of the most mainstream techniques.
When it comes to similar cases, they are all solved according to Momen's crime path.
It would be better to expend more energy than to pass by sloppily.
"So, you mean, this Nie Xiaowei is a member of the Demon Sect?"
Tao Qingping's voice was a little cold.
Asking Tao Qingping such a question, Feng Sigua was a little surprised.
He didn't expect Tao Qingping to know the name of this Nie's concubine.
"Probably yes."
Feng Sigua has made a rough judgment based on past experience and current facts.
After all, he has been in the city guard for ten years, so he still has some experience in this area.
"In other words, the only thing to do now is to capture Nie Xiaowei."
Xu Ning also knew the next key steps.
"My lord, do you want to send someone to inform the other guards in Weiyi, if this Nie Xiaowei is a master of martial arts in the Demon Sect, then we city guards will not be able to apprehend him even if we find traces of him."
Feng Sigua asked.
"Go ahead, call all of us from Weiyi, and each of us will act separately."
Xu Ning said: "Also...you report it again, and say that you want colleagues from other alleys and guard stations to help search and arrest."
Because there were local Demon Sect warriors in Lushui Lane before, Xu Ning's heart was always tight.
If this Nie Xiaowei is really a Demon Sect warrior, then there is a possibility that their sources of magic skills are consistent.
If a demon organization can really be pulled out behind them, then it will be a big event.
The mass appearance of this kind of local magic sect warriors is much more threatening than the seven-line sect previously associated with Dayuan Commercial Bank.
"Understood, my lord."
Feng Sigua took the order.
"By the way, has anyone been sent to Nie Xiaowei's house?"
Xu Ning asked again.
"I have sent someone to inquire about the news, but no news has come back yet."
Feng Sigua said.
"understood… "
Xu Ning glanced at the depressed Tao Qingping: "Qingping, let's go to Nie Xiaowei's natal home together, to see her family, and her childhood sweetheart..."
Tao Qingping heard the words and forced himself to say, "Okay."
Although he has feelings for Nie Xiaowei, but now that Nie Xiaowei is suspected of being a demon warrior, he can still distinguish between right and wrong.
But from the bottom of his heart, Tao Qingping still didn't want to believe that the girl who looked thin and clean would have such an identity.
