"The smell of human blood?!"
Hearing Qin Shaoyou's words, not only the servants in Tianyayuan were stunned, but also the night watchmen were all shocked.
At this time, the differences between the several groups of people can be seen.
Sun Xiaoqi and the others thought Qin Shaoyou was joking, and they were still joking: "Master Qin, it's normal for this place to smell like blood. Look at the dancers wearing red cards in the yard. They work with blood. If you order them, you can only Dance plainly.”
Zhu Xiucai, Ma Monk and other Qin Shaoyou's men immediately dispersed with their swords in hand.
Someone was watching the area around the Tianya Sand Dance Hall and was not allowed in or out.
Someone took control of the boy and interrogated him: "What happened inside? Why is there the smell of blood?"
The boy was confused, especially when he saw Qin Shaoyou and the others touching the knife. He was even more frightened and anxious, and almost cried. He hurriedly said: "We are doing serious business here. Sir, have you made a mistake?"
"There is no mistake." Qin Shaoyou said.
In the past few days, he not only strengthened his blood, muscles, and bones through magical spiritual food and self-exercise, but also improved his five senses.
Especially sensitive to the smell of blood.
At this time, Zhu Xiucai carefully identified the smell in the air and said calmly: "There is indeed a fresh smell of blood that is different from menstruation. It is diluted by the smell of wine and rouge, so it is not obvious."
Qin Shaoyou nodded. With Zhu Xiucai, he could be sure that it was not his illusion.
The smell of human blood in such a place reminded him of the ghosts in erotic paintings.
Since the mastermind behind the ghost in the painting can make the ghost hide in the erotic painting to harm people and steal Yang Qi, essence and blood.
Could it be possible for ghosts to hide in the cat-catching alley and attract customers?
Qin Shaoyou immediately made arrangements: "Leave a few people to watch the gate and the courtyard wall. Don't let anyone leave. The others will follow me in to have a look."
Entering Tianya Sand Dance Hall, Qin Shaoyou glanced at the situation inside.
The courtyard is not small in size. There are lanterns hanging around it, but the light is not bright. It seems to be deliberately creating a dark and hazy feeling.
In the center of the courtyard is a dance floor.
Men and women hug each other and dance slowly on the dance floor, with expressions of enjoyment or intoxication.
On the right side of the dance floor, there is a group of musicians playing drums, harps and shengs to cheer up the people on the dance floor.
In front of the dance floor, there is an artificial lake, and in front of it are several rows of seats.
Guests who come to dance will get a seat of their own under the arrangement of the waiter.
After they are tired from dancing, they can return to their seats to rest, and drinks and snacks are provided.
The area on the left side of the dance floor is where the dancers rest.
If someone falls in love with a certain dancer, they can come here and drag her to the dance floor to sing a song, or they can go directly to the flower room behind the curtain on the dance floor for in-depth communication.
Looking around, everything seemed to be normal in the yard, nothing unusual.
At this time, several burly guards were also eyeing Qin Shaoyou and others.
When they saw Qin Shaoyou and others wearing knives with sullen faces, and seeing the boy who was greeting the guests with panic on his face, tears in his eyes, and a pitiful look, they thought that this was someone who had come to stir up trouble.
Several nursing staff came over immediately and stopped Qin Shaoyou and others.
But before they could announce their names and say harsh words, they heard a scream coming from the flower room behind the curtain on the dance floor:
"It's dead—"
The caller was obviously frightened, and his voice was so high that it overwhelmed the music played by the musicians.
Sure enough, something happened!
Qin Shaoyou, Zhu Xiucai, Ma Monk and others immediately ran towards the direction where the exclamation came from.
The nursing staff subconsciously wanted to stop him.
Zhu Xiucai directly took out his waist card and shouted in a cold voice: "The Demon Suppression Department is doing something, if you don't want to die, get out of here!"
The nursing staff immediately got out of the way.
These nursing homes may have the courage to confront the government officials and police officers, but they would never dare to stab the people of the Demon Suppression Department, otherwise their death would be in vain.
Not only did they not have the guts to fight, they also took the initiative to lead the way: "Sir, let's go here."
At the same time, he also asked diligently if there was anything he needed help with.
Sun Xiaoqi and others were stunned for a moment before they realized: "Damn, something really happened! I'm forced to work overtime even if I dance a sand dance. It's really unlucky!"
Even if they scold the public, they still have business capabilities.
Sun Xiaoqi immediately arranged for manpower, either to help control the gate to prevent people from leaving, or to control the crowd that was in chaos because of the dead person.
Then he asked the boy and the nurse: "Do you have a side door or a back door here?"
After getting the answer, he immediately sent someone, with the servants and the nurse to take them to guard the side door and the back door, and not let anyone leave.
After doing this, they began to regret again, why didn't they bring a knife?
If, like Qin Shaoyou, Zhu Xiucai and others, they bring weapons with them, they will be able to deal with sudden situations more calmly and confidently.
"You have to learn from Qin Xiaoqi in the future. You must keep your sword close to your body in case of emergency."
Sun Xiaoqi and others sighed secretly, and immediately sent people back to the Demon Suppression Division to get equipment.
At this time, Qin Shaoyou, Zhu Xiucai and others had arrived in the flower room behind the curtain on the dance floor.
This is a hall with many small rooms separated by bamboo curtains for convenience.
At this moment, many people ran out and were surrounding one of the small rooms.
Qin Shaoyou and the others separated from the crowd and walked over.
Just looking at this small room, there was a man without pants, lying in a pool of blood, not knowing whether he was alive or dead.
Blood was flowing out from his facial features, and his eyes, ears, mouth and nose were all bleeding. It was scary to look at. It not only dyed his entire face and upper body red, but also formed a pool of blood on the ground.
Zhu Xiucai leaned down, felt the man's breath, touched his wrist and chest, raised his head and said, "My lord, he is dead."
"It's him who died, not the Lord. We need to make it clear." Qin Shaoyou corrected, looked at the crowd and asked, "Has anyone seen how he died?"
Most people didn't see it.
After all, they were all working in a small room at that time. They could only hear the crashing sound in the room next to them, but could not see the specific content.
Only a few people waiting in line for the room took a vague look and answered in a hurry:
"He was doing errands with a dancer in the room, and suddenly he roared, and then the dancer ran out in panic, and he fell to the ground."
"Yes, I saw it too, that's indeed what happened."
"After the man fell, I came over to see what was wrong with him, and I saw blood on his facial features. I was so scared that my feet went weak."
"He is a type of horse wind! I have seen someone die before, and it is like this kind of death. His facial features are bleeding, and the whole face is as purple as an eggplant. It is quite scary."
Is it windy soon?
Qin Shaoyou frowned slightly and asked these witnesses: "Where is the dancer who was with him before? Where did she go?"
Several witnesses shook their heads:
"have no idea."
"Did not notice."
"You were scared and you hid, right? If it were me, I'd hide too."
Qin Shaoyou asked these people if they could see the dancer clearly.
"I saw it." A few people actually raised their hands.
Qin Shaoyou called to Zhu Xiucai: "Take them to identify the person, find the dancer, and see if there is anything wrong with her."
After a while, the assistant from the Demon Suppression Department arrived.
After examining the deceased, he ruled out other causes of death and determined that it was due to sudden stroke.
The man also identified the deceased.
"Isn't this Yan Liu, the clerk of the torture chamber? He always brags to me about how powerful he is, but I didn't expect that he would die soon, and his body is not good either."
"Prisoner Yan Liu? Are you sure you didn't admit your mistake?"
When Qin Shaoyou mentioned the torture chamber, he thought of two cases in Wujiabao and Mianyuan counties.
In these two cases, if there are connections in the government office to help cover up, then the torture chamber will definitely not be bypassed.
So, did Yan Liu really just die in an accident caused by Ma Feng?
Or is it that he was related to a certain case, knew too much, and was silenced?
Wu Zuo said: "How can I admit my mistake? This grandson owed me half a piece of money and has not paid it back. I even recognized him after he turned into ashes! Hey, now that he is dead, who can I get my half a piece of money from?"
Seeing Wu Zuo sighing and feeling sad, Qin Shaoyou had no choice but to comfort him.
But soon, Wu Zuo became happy again: "If Yan Liu dies, his wife will become a widow. If I marry his wife, I can not only recover the half of the money he owes me, but also make a profit."
Damn, talent.
Qin Shaoyou was shocked.
Soon, Zhu Xiucai and others found the dancing girl with the help of witnesses.
Wu Ji was in shock. After some cross-examination, she admitted that Yan Liu was indeed with her when he died.
But she denied that she had done anything to Yan Liu, and it was Yan Liu who was doing it to her.
And they didn't know each other before, it was just a one-time transactional relationship.
Qin Shaoyou observed the dancer carefully.
I found that there was nothing wrong with her except that she was a little frightened.
Zhu Xiucai and several strong men who were good at interrogation also reported to Qin Shaoyou after interrogating Wu Ji: "Sir, it doesn't seem like she is lying."
Mai Ji did not lie, and Gu Zuo did not find out any other cause of death.
So Yan Liu's death really had nothing to do with monsters, nor was it murder, but just an accident?
But Qin Shaoyou always felt something strange.
Because everything is too coincidental...
