But I soon realized something was wrong. The energy fields of men and women were slightly different. The living person in the room was a man! Since he is a man, he is not the target of my mission.
I left decisively, but I heard movement in another courtyard, which seemed to be a person's suppressed cry of pain, followed by the sound of heavy objects falling to the ground.
No, Yunzhou——
There was Yunzhou in another courtyard. I immediately climbed over the wall and jumped into the neighboring courtyard, looking towards the corner.
Yun Zhou was still squatting there, holding his snacks in his arms. My heart dropped back to where it was before, and I turned to look at the person lying on the ground.
Between Yun Zhou and I, there was a man in black lying motionless on the ground. There were no holes in his clothes, so he probably wasn't Ah Zhao.
The man in black was no longer breathing. I approached the body and found that the cause of death of the deceased was clearly stated. I stared at the chicken claw stuck in his forehead, then took out a cloth to pad it and pulled it out.
He only had this fatal wound on his body, and he was not poisoned or hit with a hidden weapon. I wrapped the chicken feet and put them in my arms so that no evidence of crime could be left at the scene.
These chicken feet are a specialty of this city. The boss might recognize me, so I took out a short knife and took off the head of the corpse.
The people in the yamen must have guessed that the murder was to cover up the truth.
But whether they can find out the truth without the head depends on their ability.
"Hero, since you're here, why don't you save me? I've been waiting in the house for a long time!"
At this time, a voice suddenly came from the dividing wall between the two courtyards. A young man was riding on the wall, shaking a folding fan in his hand.
Yun Zhou, the suspected murderer, squatted in the corner. His greasy hands and the uneaten braised chicken feet in his arms were evidence.
Lying on the ground was a corpse whose head I had just removed, and blood was flowing all over the ground.
The person shaking the fan is naturally a witness. As an accomplice, what should I do most now?
That's right, kill people and silence them!
"Xia Xia, wait a minute, don't kill me. He and I are not on the same team, he is the one who tied me here. They are members of the Golden Gu Society, and everyone will punish such scum."
Before I made a move, the young man spoke first. His qinggong was so good that if I didn't pay full attention, I wouldn't have noticed his movements at all.
As soon as he lifted his legs and jumped off the wall, he floated to me before his feet even touched the ground.
There was no murderous intent in him, so I didn't guard against him, and I already recognized him as Lu Youkang, Lu Yu's grandson.
Killing a NOBODY doesn't matter, but killing the grandson of the leader of the martial arts league is another matter. It will be very troublesome in the future.
"What's the Golden Gu Club? We passed by here and wanted to stay overnight. Now we have to find another place to stay. You can do it yourself." I said goodbye with my fists in my hands, holding the wrapped head in my hand, and went to the corner to pick up Yun Zhou.
Yunzhou lowered his head, like a child who had done something wrong, and stopped talking. It seemed that the murder had put a lot of pressure on him.
"Stay here, Heroine! You killed the people of the Golden Gu Association. It might not be that easy to escape. The Gu worms they trained are extraordinary. As long as they circle around here, they can be followed for thousands of miles. No one can escape. "
"We'll catch up later." I had made up my mind to go, I couldn't find the target person, and I didn't want to deal with anyone else.
"Hero - has the person been rescued?" A bright light flashed, and another troublesome person appeared. Azhao, who was covered in purple diamonds, climbed over the wall and was admitted to the hospital, and tiptoed to my side.
"Not here." I was still holding the head in my hand, and I was chatting with people while holding the head, which I had never done before.
"Yes! Yes, are you looking for a girl?" Lu Youkang squeezed into our conversation, closed the folding fan and used it to point in a certain direction: "She was taken away by people from the Golden Gu Society. After dark We just hit the road, saying we were going back to their hometown."
"Golden Gu Club?" Ah Zhao seemed unfamiliar with this name.
"That's right, you don't know? There are cave villages in Shengyu Qianzhong Mountain, and the Golden Gu Association's headquarters is hidden in the high mountains and ridges of Shengyu Kingdom. It is good at raising and training Gu." Lu Youkang was dressed in white, with a white jade crown on his head. Maybe it was because he struggled when he was captured before, his hair was a little messy, his white clothes were stained with a lot of dust, and there were two holes on the fan.
He is the grandson of the leader of the martial arts league and knows all the sects in the world.
There is no martial arts sect within the Four Kingdoms that the Martial Arts Alliance does not know about, including both the black and white sects.
Azhao and Bai Mudan have lived in the palace for a long time. They have never come into contact with real people in the world when they go out to the private sector, so they don't know how normal it is.
I know something about the Golden Gu Society through the memory of the original person. The original person had contacted their people and purchased Gu worms from them.
Therefore, I know that people in the Golden Gu Society have marks on their bodies, which cannot be copied and imitated by others, and it is easy to confirm their identity.
"Why did they arrest my young lady?" Azhao looked anxious. He originally thought that it was the Lu family who kidnapped Bai Mudan, but now that he knew it was not the case, it was strange that he was not anxious.
Bai Mudan is safe in the hands of the Lu family. She is Lu Youkang's fiancée and future young lady. The Lu family will not harm her.
But if it falls into the hands of others, the problems involved will be deeper, and her personal safety will not be guaranteed.
"Golden Gu can catch people, what else can they do? Plant poison, or raise the poison. Using people to raise the poison is also their specialty." Lu Youkang's tone sounded like he was chatting about other people's affairs. He might not know the identity of the girl yet.
"What? Which direction are they going? I have to chase him quickly." When Azhao learned that his master was in trouble, he couldn't wait any longer.
"When you go to Shengyu Country, you should naturally go east." Lu Youkang pointed to the east with his fan.
"Hero, let's go." Azhao didn't forget me at this moment, but my destination was north, so I stood still.
"What did you promise me? Our deal ends here." I reminded him in a deep voice.
Our deal is limited to coming to this villa to rescue people tonight. Whether the rescue is successful or not, the deposit of 50,000 taels will not be refunded.
He can't be saved right now, and even if the mission fails, I have no obligation to accompany him in pursuit.
What's more, I am holding a head in my hand and am eager to deal with the people who have offended the Golden Gu Society. As Lu Youkang said, the other party will never let it go.
"Alas, please don't be divided. Look... you, me, and him, all three of us are related to the Golden Gu Society and have suffered greatly from it. We should unite and take care of each other. Heroines and warriors, How about we go together?" Lu Youkang bowed his hands and said with a smile.
"This hero is right. If you kill their people, they will definitely seek revenge. It is easy for you to escape alone, but with this young master... I think it is better for us to go together." Ah Zhao quickly agreed.
I secretly sighed in my heart: It’s really hard to make money and hard to eat shit~
Yunzhou was the one who committed the murder, but I was the one who took the blame.
The corpses on the ground have turned into blood and water. People in the Golden Gu Society have poison in their brains. The poison will continue to release a toxin. Once the body loses the nourishment of the toxin, it will turn into blood and water.
This is not what the original memory told me, but what I perceived with my own powers.
