Chapter 114: The time is wrong

Views:

After Zhou Yuer entered the room, the servant also left.

At this time, Shi Qingzhou was on his way to Nanshan with the shadow guard.

Quickly and lightly on the road.

When Shi Qingzhou and a dozen or so shadow guards arrived at Nanshan, it was two quarters of an hour later, and they reached the foot of Nanshan.

Shi Qingzhou looked at the dark Nanshan in front of him, and at the jungle on Nanshan that he could still see from here...

After a slight pause, Shi Qingzhou said, "How many ways are there to go up the mountain?"

There were shadow guards staying at Nanshan here, and they are still checking the news on Nanshan, and Shi Qingzhou and the others had contacted those shadow guards before they arrived here. At this time, Shi Qingzhou and the others will be here Only when the shadow guard came over, Shi Qingzhou would ask questions directly.

The shadow guard who stayed here said directly: "Five."

"Is there any shortcut?" Shi Qingzhou said again.

"Yes, but at the back of the mountain."

Shi Qingzhou thought for a while, then said: "A few shortcuts?"

"Just that one."

Shi Qingzhou heard the words and said: "OK, then go from there."

The shadow guard had figured out the situation here a long time ago, and after Shi Qingzhou's words, he immediately led the other party to the shortcut.

In this way, after half an hour, they only reached the top of the mountain by light boat with stones.

Along the way, Shi Qingzhou also stopped sometimes, not to rest, but to observe, sometimes to observe the mountain wall, and sometimes to observe the foot, so a little delay.

After half an hour, they reached the top of the mountain.

On the top of the mountain, Shi Qingzhou stopped again.

On the mountainside of this mountain is connected to the mountain on the other side, where is the dense jungle.

And the shortcut that Shi Qingzhou and the others took passed through the edge of the jungle, but they never entered it.

The shadow guard will not refute Shi Qingzhou's order. Although they are puzzled in their hearts why the other party does not follow the path Zhou Huan and the others took, but Shi Qingzhou does not say that they will naturally not ask.

Shi Qingzhou looked at the top of the mountain for a long time, and finally, when he left, he didn't say much.

However, before and after, Shi Qingzhou stayed on the top of the mountain for almost half an hour, and it was like turning around the entire top of the mountain.

Afterwards, Shi Qingzhou left the shadow guards who were originally looking for information from Nanshan to continue searching for information from Nanshan, and he and the other shadow guards who followed him rushed back.

No one knows what Shi Qingzhou discovered, not even the shadow guards who followed him.

Anyway, those shadow guards didn't find anything.

When Shi Qingzhou brought those shadow guards back to the imperial city, it was already early morning.

Shi Qingzhou wanted to go directly to the house, but at this time, a shadow guard came over and said that there was another case in the east of the city, just before a stick of incense!

Shi Qingzhou's eyes turned cold. "East of the city?"

"Yes." The shadow guard whispered.

Shi Qingzhou said lightly: "Go and see."

The east of the city is far away from here, even if the lightness kung fu has passed, it will still take a long time for a stick of incense.

When Shi Qingzhou and the others arrived, they found Hu Qingyuan, the minister of punishment, was already there.

Shi Qingzhou passed by, and Hu Qingyuan was taken aback immediately when he saw Shi Qingzhou. Just about to salute, Shi Qingzhou shook his head slightly at the other party.

Immediately, Hu Qingyuan pretended not to find Shi Qingzhou.

The shadow guard under Shi Qingzhou showed his token, so no one stopped him and Shi Qingzhou when they passed by.

It's just that no one knows their true identities except Hu Qingyuan.

The deceased was also a watchman, exactly the same as the first deceased. He had been drained of blood, and there was no trace of other blood on the scene. The murderer drained the blood of the deceased, but did not leave any unclean spots on the scene

There was no blood on the ground!

Even a real blood-sucking maniac wouldn't be able to do this without leaving anything behind, would he

Frowning, Shi Qingzhou walked around the dead body for several steps, but in the end, Shi Qingzhou found nothing.

Instead, Hu Qingyuan found something in the dead man's hair.

"Huh? What is this?"

Shi Qingzhou looked quickly, and saw something in Shi Qingzhou's hand.

Shi Qingzhou walked over, "What?"

Hu Qingyuan put the things on the handkerchief before showing it to Shi Qingzhou.

Shi Qingzhou took a look. "This is... the master?"

"Like something on a brush." Hu Qingyuan said.

The barrel of the writing brush is made by the master. The piece on the dead man's head is a bit like the thing on the barrel of the writing brush, a small piece of bamboo, not big.

"I'm looking for someone to ask if there are four treasures of the study in this Dageng's home, and if they can get access to these things." Hu Qingyuan said immediately.

Shi Qingzhou nodded and said nothing.

When he was about to leave, Shi Qingzhou thought for a while and said: "The night shift is suspended, these people, you should pay attention."

"I understand." Shi Qingzhou didn't want to reveal his identity, so Hu Qingyuan called himself that.

After Shi Qingzhou left, Hu Qingyuan looked at the things on the handkerchief thoughtfully.

This small piece of master is in the dead man's hair, but it is not hidden deep... If this thing is not the dead man's, but the murderer's...

Did the murderer do it on purpose or... wanted to say something

Hu Qingyuan looked at the little thing on the handkerchief, and after a long time, put it away.

Shi Qingzhou returned to the house, he walked around the house, found nothing unusual, and then left for the Tianji Building.

When the case happened last night, there was an accident at the Tianji Building. I don’t know what happened today...

After Shi Qingzhou left the house, in this house, in a wing room, a little maid was dozing in front of the bed.

Afterwards, the little girl fell on the bed and fell asleep.

And a woman appeared in the room, and the woman smiled slightly and looked at the person on the bed.

"Auntie, I really didn't expect you to be rational... you can hide things."

The person on the bed did not speak, and stared at the visitor with a pair of eyes.

The woman smiled slightly again. "When the doctor surnamed Zhang asked you to write with a brush, to be honest, I don't even know when you broke off such a piece on the brush. Auntie, you are really amazing."

The person on the bed trembled a little.

The woman patted the cheek of the person on the bed. "Auntie, it seems that I can only increase the strength of the medicine. Who let my aunt still have her own reason? This is really not a good thing for my niece..."

The person on the bed watched the woman approach, she wanted to struggle, but couldn't move.

So, she could only watch helplessly as the woman approached her, took out something, and stuffed it into her mouth...

Less than two quarters of an hour later, Shi Qingzhou arrived at Tianji Building.

Zou Qingyuan hadn't slept yet, he seemed to know that Shi Qingzhou would come, so he was just waiting there.

Shi Qingzhou didn't talk nonsense, and asked directly after arriving there: "Did brother Zou send someone to watch the movement on the street?"

Zou Qingyuan nodded. "Yes, but not found."

Shi Qingzhou pursed her lips slightly. In fact, not only the Tianji Building, but also the imperial court sent people to watch the movement of Dageng.

The one who died last night was a watchman, so naturally pay attention today.

However, that person was elusive, and the time from the incident to the end was unbelievably short.

In addition to the number of people in the entire imperial city, the four directions of the east, west, north and south, the number of people in the watch is five people, and they can't send a large number of people around each of them.

So there is one shadow guard in the dark and three guards. Not far or near to follow.

But he didn't expect that this person was killed unknowingly even though the manpower had been arranged, and the people who followed him didn't know what happened until they heard the scream.

Shi Qingzhou felt that something was wrong with this situation. From hearing the screams to rushing over, it didn't take long at all. It was not a little longer than an instant. How could it be possible to get there without even seeing the shadow of the murderer? !

This thing... It's very weird when you think about it!

"Brother Shi, I have never believed in ghosts and gods, but now... I do believe in them a little bit. I don't think anyone in the martial arts world can do it at such a fast speed. The time from hearing the sound to rushing over is really too short. Killing people and sucking dry blood in a short period of time, and running away without a trace?"

Shi Qingzhou frowned. "There are no ghosts."

Zou Qingyuan could only smile wryly.

Shi Qingzhou pursed his lips, and finally said lightly: "I have to go first, the problem here... Brother Zou, help me to keep an eye on it."

Zou Qingyuan sighed. "Although there is nothing wrong with Tianjilou tonight, I always feel that Tianjilou is also involved in this incident... I will pay attention."

Shi Qingzhou nodded, and was about to politely say a few words of thanks when he heard an exclamation from outside.

When Shi Qingzhou and Zou Qingyuan heard the words, they jumped out of Qiqigong at the next moment.

When they went outside and found the source of the sound, Shi Qingzhou and Zou Qingyuan only saw a maid screaming and sitting on the ground, and in front of the maid was a dog, the dog was sucked dry, but it seemed to be chasing Looking at the servant girl. The servant girl seems to have a little bit of martial arts foundation, but it's only a little bit.

After the maid fell to the ground, the dog rushed over.

Zou Qingyuan acted quickly and saved the maid when the dog was about to bite her.

The dog was originally the size of an ordinary watchdog. It was drained of blood, but it was surprisingly strong.

Zou Qingyuan finally pierced the dog's head with his sword, and then the dog fell down.

Shi Qingzhou's face was extremely gloomy.

The dog fell down, and the maid was so frightened that she had no blood at all.

Zou Qingyuan asked, "Where did this dog come from?"

"I don't know." The servant girl looked like she was about to cry. "I just heard a noise all of a sudden, and then I saw something rushing towards me. I screamed, and instinctively started to fight the enemy. Who would have thought that this dog is so powerful and scary, so difficult to deal with."

The servant girl looked terrified.

Both Shi Qingzhou and Zou Qingyuan frowned severely.

After Zou Qingyuan frowned, he asked the maidservant two questions again, but the maidservant couldn't answer anything, and then, Zou Qingyuan rushed to investigate other questions...

Shi Qingzhou's brows are also tightly frowned.

He walked up to the lifeless dog, whose eyes were now closed.

Shi Qingzhou thought for a while, and said: "Come here, bring this dog to the house, and let Doctor Zhang examine it carefully."

"Yes." The shadow guard listened to the order and hurried away with the dog.

Shi Qingzhou pursed her lips, and didn't stay in Tianji Building any longer, and left...

It was almost dawn when he returned to the palace, Shi Qingzhou didn't want the dusty breath on his body to disturb Long Xiaoyuan, and besides, he had contact with the dead.

So, Shi Qingzhou went to the bathroom, soaked in the hot spring for a while before getting up...

When he returned to the bedroom, Long Xiaoyuan was lying on the bed alone. For some reason, Shi Qingzhou felt... a little pitiful.

Of course, it wasn't Long Xiaoyuan who was pitiful, but also the other party's lonely appearance!
