"Usually, ghosts cannot rest in peace because their wishes during their lifetimes were not fulfilled," Xia Huai said.
"What was your wish during your lifetime?" Hong Zhu was startled, "Zeng Lang's wish during his lifetime was... to be with me? But he is dead now, which means you want me to commit suicide to accompany him?"
Hong Zhu's expression changed slightly when she said this, and she became nervous.
Xia Huai quickly comforted, "No, no, we won't hurt you, and no matter what happens tonight, we will give priority to saving your life."
Lu Jing also said, "It's not just us, the Tianma Escort Agency, and many experts from the Sanhu Hall are also here. As long as you are in danger, someone will definitely appear as soon as possible."
Hong Zhu breathed a sigh of relief, "That's good, forget it...you don't have to tell me what you want me to do in advance, and it saves me the trouble of thinking. I'll just do as you say."
Xia Huai didn't expect Hongzhu to be so brave and agree without even thinking about it.
Hongzhu showed a somewhat bitter smile, "After all, this is what I owe him...just treat it as repaying a debt. Speaking of which, I also want to thank you. What happened back then has always been a knot in my heart.
"It's a pity that he is dead. I can't do anything except feel guilty. Now that I have the opportunity, I can make up for the mistakes I made back then and make myself feel better.
"As for why I believe you so much, the answer is simple. If even Daxia Lu can't be trusted in Wujiang City, then no one can!"
This is probably the advantage of playing at home.
Lu Jing didn't even need to borrow Si Tianjian's power in Wujiang City. He could already mobilize all forces with just his own brand.
From the government to Jianghu sects, and even ordinary people in the city, they are all willing to cooperate with him unconditionally in investigating the case.
With the addition of Hong Zhu, Lu Jing and Xia Huai have mastered the ultimate weapon against that strange thing.
After that, the two of them stopped walking around and had dinner together at Hongzhu's residence.
After dinner, they each asked for a small room and practiced cross-legged until midnight.
In the past two months, there have been frequent cases of falling from buildings in Wujiang City. Apart from the fact that the people who fell from the buildings were all women from Lehu, there was no other obvious connection between them, but the time of the falls was very concentrated.
Without exception, all after Zi Shi.
Therefore, Lu Jing, Xia Huai and Hong Zhu didn't leave until a while later, heading to the streets with the highest concentration of brothels in the city.
Of course, apart from here, there are also some scattered brothels in other places in the city. As for the secret prostitutes, there are even more. Although the thousands of flowers blooming and so on are just the nonsense of literati and poets after drinking too much, but two or three hundred There is always a number of homes.
Fortunately, Lu Jing knew enough friends to be able to take care of him.
But for those who are far away, Lu Jing can't take care of them for the time being. He can only find someone to watch them. No matter what, he must rescue them first. It doesn't matter if he doesn't find the strange thing. The worst he can do is wait a few more days.
Anyway, as long as that thing continues to appear, it will come here sooner or later.
Eleven victims in the previous fifteen cases were all nearby. Doing the math, the probability of it appearing here again is quite high.
…………
Wujiang City is a famous city that never sleeps.
Although it was late at night, there were still many people on the street looking for fun together.
As for the brothels along the river, this is the most lively time of the day. The sound of strings and bamboo strings, the sound of people urging people to drink, and the laughter... are all heard, and from time to time there are also some charming and charming voices mixed in during this period. Gasps.
Xia Huai's pretty face turned red when she heard it, and she wished she could risk her ears.
As for Hong Zhu, he was already used to it, and there was nothing strange about his face. valley
And Lu Jing... Xia Huai took a sneak peek at Lu Jing and found that the latter seemed a little absent-minded. He kept looking around, but he was not paying attention to the nearby brothel.
His eyes fell more on the street market in front of him, seemingly attracted by the dazzling array of merchandise.
And after a while, Lu Jing went to a stall not far away and bought four Chengsha dumplings.
After getting it, I ate one, and then took the remaining three back to Xia Huai and Hong Zhu.
Hongzhu waved her hand and declined. Although Xia Huai didn't want it, she was cautious.
Most people might think that Lu Jing was just suddenly greedy, but based on Xia Huai's understanding of Lu Jing, she didn't think that Lu Jing would be so undisciplined when he was doing serious business.
Then she thought about the time when she went to find Hong Zhu. Lu Jing seemed to have stopped suddenly and invited Mr. Fei to drink Grandma's tea with him.
Thinking about it now, his behavior was obviously a little abnormal.
Xia Huai didn't have time to think about it further when he saw someone running towards him from the other end of the street.
The visitor was dressed as a scribe, but his feet were as fast as flying. With one step, his body jumped more than ten feet away, and then with a slight tap, he passed several pedestrians.
After a while, he ran in front of the three people.
"Protector Yin." Lu Jing rushed over and clasped his fists.
Yin Qing and Lu Jing were old acquaintances. Yin Qing even went to apologize to Lu Jing for the unpleasantness caused by the Qingzhu Gang. Speaking of which, he was the first person in Wujiang City to discover that Lu Jing was "extraordinary". .
At that time, Lu Jing didn't even practice any martial arts. He relied on one move to counterattack and made his name in Wujiang City.
Attracting Sanhutang to visit the dock early.
Because of Yin Qing's unique vision, he was rewarded afterwards.
This time Lu Jing asked for help, and he did his part and brought people over immediately.
"Master Lu, Hero Xia," Yin Qing said without any nonsense, "We found someone."
Lu Jing's spirit was shaken and he didn't care to say anything else. He used Qinggong and rushed to where Yin Qing came from. Xia Huai also hurried away with Hongzhu.
When he arrived at the place where the incident occurred, Lu Jing couldn't help but be stunned.
He didn't know if Jinlou was unlucky, and it was the girl from Jinlou who was about to fall this time.
The brothel madam who had received Lu Jing and Xia Huai before also learned a lesson, and in the latter half of the night she patrolled the golden building with two young men.
They were a little later than Sanhutang, but they also spotted the woman sitting by the window with her legs stretched out the window.
So he quickly reported it to the madam. The madam was shocked when she heard what she said, and quickly led people upstairs to stop it.
But when they got outside the door, they found that the door had been locked from the inside, and outsiders couldn't open it at all, so they couldn't help but turn around anxiously.
Seeing Lu Jing arriving, he immediately felt like he was seeing a savior, shouting, "Master Lu, Master Lu, please save my poor daughter!"
However, when Lu Jing came downstairs, he was not in a hurry to take action. He first looked up at the figure sitting by the bed.
The man happened to look at him as well.
She is obviously a fair-skinned beauty, but now there are blue veins protruding on her forehead. She looks quite ferocious and full of resentment, and she is still muttering, "Damn it, you all deserve to die!"
