When Shi Wuqi and Dai Luan caught up, they were caught up in the excitement.
Mu Wan's umbrella hit the opponent's scabbard. He held the scabbard horizontally and shouted something in a panic. Shan Hai on the side was testing the breath of the man on the ground. When he looked up and saw them, he immediately said:
"Stop her and listen to what this person has to say first."
Shi Wuqi did notice that the "murderer" just kept attacking, giving in step by step, trying to calm her down, as if he had something to explain. So he took out the fan and held it under the tip of her umbrella. He clearly felt that the force coming from his hand was from Mu Wan.
"Don't stop me!"
"No, auntie, listen to me, I'm just passing by!"
"Only a ghost in such a deep alley would believe you were passing by!"
Shi Wuqi used two moves to block him, and Shan Hai also came to help. Dai Luan ran along the wall and quietly took a look at the people on the ground. It was a girl, with black hair scattered on the ground, and a blood-red bloom on her chest. The whole ground was wet, and blood flowed from her pierced back, staining her clothes red.
That piece of clothing was almost exactly the same as what Mu Wan was wearing.
Dai Luan was shocked and immediately understood why she had such a big reaction. Turning around, he saw two grown men trying their best to stop Mu Wan, who was going crazy. She screamed at the top of her lungs, like a crazy woman, and she almost didn't even recognize herself.
Duan Yuesheng immediately distanced himself from her and shouted in a somewhat embarrassed tone:
"I don't want to take action to save your face. Don't think I can't beat you! You are such a bitch, you don't even listen to what anyone says!"
Mu Wan's anger was not suppressed. But rather than being angry, it was more like she was using this impulse to cover up some other feelings. Soon this feeling was revealed - even she didn't notice it, and tears fell from her eyes drop by drop, falling on Shi Wuqi's cold wrist.
"Think of a way quickly, it's important to save people first!" Duan Yuesheng shouted.
Shan Hai looked over, but Dai Luan shook his head, his face clearly saying that he was really hopeless.
Mu Wan didn't believe in evil, so he picked up the girl and said he was going to find the doctor. Her voice was trembling and broken, and she couldn't form a complete sentence.
"Where can I find a doctor at this night?" Shi Wuqi was worried. "Besides Fangchun Courtyard, where else is the door open?"
Dai Luan suddenly raised his head, as if he thought of something.
"Let's go to Fangchunyuan! There is a medicine warehouse there. I should be able to find Qinggui to find a solution."
In fact, when Shi Wuqi realized that his corpse-manipulating spell could be effective on the girl, he realized that it was too late. But he didn't say anything. He and Aluan just used her belt to wrap the wound on her chest, and together with Miss Qi, they carried her back the way they came. Duan Yuesheng was a little surprised to see Miss Qi's strength.
There were no people along the way, and it was already time to rest. The center of the city is relatively lively, but the noise is still coming from the roadside restaurants and restaurants. Dai Luan couldn't help but rush up to the top floor first to say hello to Qing Gui. She hadn't rested yet, so when she saw the little girl coming up in a hurry, she knew something big must have happened.
"Just ask your friends to come up and wait for me in the pharmacy downstairs."
After hearing the panicked summary, she quickly tied up her hair and said to Aluan.
When they came to the pharmacy, they laid the girl's breasts flat on the bed. Qing Gui looked at the blood oozing from the belt and made a rough guess. After untying it, she glanced at the wound, raised her head, and said shakenly:
"Hopeless."
Shan Hai, with quick eyes and quick hands, supported Mu Wan who was limp and did not dare to say anything. They didn't dare to look at her, they only knew that her face must be horribly white, and even her lips had no color at all. The reddest thing is probably the bloodshot eyes in the whites of his empty eyes. By now, anyone could tell from the clothes and her reaction that the victim must be from the Xue Yan Sect, and maybe she was the senior sister that Mu Wan longed for.
...But why did she appear here?
Dai Luan used the simple tools here to examine the corpse and told them as calmly as possible that judging from the shape of the wound, it should have been caused by a straight knife. This was a penetrating injury. The blade pierced through the center. That position was enough to cut half of the heart. No one could survive such an injury. In addition, there were some other small scratches on his body, and his clothes were also cut in several places.
"Knife..." Qinggui muttered softly.
"I'm so unjust." Duan Yuesheng spread his hands very innocently, "I came from Cangyi City and heard from the person who sent the escort that there was a knife maker here and the knife was good. The last one broke when I was delivering the escort. I'm here to buy a new one. As soon as I bought the knife, it was unsheathed once, and it was used when I went to save this girl. How can you doubt me? If you don't believe me, I will show you, there must be no drop of blood on it!"
As he spoke, he took out the new knife from his waist. He heard the blade cutting through the air, and a bright knife flashed in front of his eyes. But at this moment, in full view of everyone, the newly made knife suddenly broke in the middle. The cross section was very neat, and the upper half of the blade fell to the ground with a crisp sound.
"..."
"…………"
"...the profiteer lied to me!"
Duan Yuesheng was very angry.
"Well, you just said it was broken when you were saving this girl. What happened?" Shan Hai asked.
"Ah - I don't have any other advantages, except that I have a good nose. I bought a knife and was passing by the entrance of the alley. I smelled a trace of blood and walked in. Then I heard the sound of the sword and started running. I saw a man stabbing the girl in the heart with a knife. I rushed forward, but the man struck with a knife. I immediately drew the knife to defend myself. But he climbed into the room and ran away, so I turned around to check the girl's chest. Injury. She was still breathing, holding my hand tightly, mumbling something about letters and junior sister. Before I could understand, Miss Liang came up and beat me!"
"What?" Mu Wan straightened up, "What letter, where is it?"
Upon hearing this, Qinggui reached out and groped through the corpse's clothes twice, and sure enough, he took out a thin envelope from inside. But it was half soaked in blood. Mu Wan rushed up to grab it and quickly opened the envelope, but his hands couldn't stop shaking and he couldn't take out the paper inside. Shi Wuqi took it from her hand, carefully separated the sandwich with his fingers, slowly pulled out a folded piece of paper, and then carefully unfolded it.
"This...there's nothing written in the letter."
Indeed, although the paper was soaked in blood, luckily, only four corners were wet when it was unfolded. But even the middle part is just blank, nothing.
"I swear to God I haven't touched it," Duan Yuesheng said quickly, "let alone changing it!"
"Duan Shaoxia, let me ask you, do you remember what the person who attacked this girl looks like?"
Faced with this problem of mountains and seas, Duan Yuesheng quickly began to think about it. As he spoke, he gestured:
"Well, that was a man, shorter than me, about...the same height as you, Taoist Priest. He was wearing black clothes. The light was too dark, so I couldn't see his face clearly. He didn't speak, and I don't even remember his voice. .”
"It's too general. There are a lot of people who meet the requirements on the street." Qinggui held up his face, his expression was not good-looking, "I just said, men are nothing."
There were three people present who dared not say a word.
Then, she turned her face to Mu Wan, and her tone immediately softened: "What should I do? Do you want to report to the official?"
Mu Wan clutched the letter and shook his head with difficulty. She knew that if the officials knew about this, they would definitely detain a few of them for questioning, and they would definitely take away the only letter that served as a clue. But other than that, there was nothing she could do. Listening to Duan Yuesheng's description of that man's skills, he might have escaped from Wule City overnight, which would have wasted time even more.
Shi Wuqi picked up his broken blade, flicked it with his knuckles, and listened to the sound.
"This knife is actually not bad. It shouldn't be so brittle. Maybe your new knife was cut firmly."
"Really? That man also uses a single knife, and his knife skills are different from ordinary ones. But why is his fixed knife so sharp and dexterous? Is it because the material is better?"
"Not really. The length and weight of a weapon is just one aspect. It's not impossible to make an ordinary knife powerful and fast. It just requires longer and harder training. With the same strength, a good knife is faster than a bad knife, and a fast knife is faster than a bad knife. A slow knife is cruel; the same speed, strength and technique can make up for the quality of the knife; with the same knife, the person who is fast and cruel will naturally win."
"You mean it's my food?" Duan Yuesheng asked bluntly.
"Why are you still not convinced?"
"Stop arguing."
Ao Gui slapped the table and they immediately shut up. This woman, who had never looked like them before, made them all feel indescribably creepy. Especially that ghost-like mask makes people even more frightened. Although these people are generally not afraid of ghosts, it's just her temperament that always makes the men afraid to answer the phone.
"Since it's a sister's problem, I'll find a solution." She took a deep breath, "That man... the Laughing Wolf... has now joined the Zuo Renmen. My hatred did not weaken for a day, so I asked someone to ask around, but it didn't happen. I know some people from Zuojinmen. They usually work in pairs, except for him... In Wule City, I know two girls, they are sisters, working for Zuogenmen. "
"Are you going to ask them who placed the order for her?" Dai Luan asked her.
Qinggui closed his eyes and shook his head: "They are naturally tight-lipped about their employers. I don't know if the real culprit is from the Zuojinmen, but since he acted alone, let's assume it's not the case for now. I'll find those two girls. Ask if anyone has placed an order for her against Zuo Jinmen... If not, go and find out who did it; if there is, if someone violates the agreement and orders someone to assassinate her, and breaks the rules, Zuo Jinmen will naturally come after her. It’s the employer’s trouble. If it’s the assassin’s personal enmity, they must investigate it rigorously and make a clear judgment before resuming his life.”
Upon hearing this, it was indeed a feasible method, and several people nodded in unison.
"Then, Miss Liangqiu, let me ask you again - what is your friend's name?"
"...Yan Muxue."
