Age of Heroes, ten consecutive guarantees
Chapter 898: Long Waiting (6k2)
"Your Highness is awake!"
The Ninth Princess was slightly frightened and was unconscious for half an hour.
After she regained consciousness, she still looked quite panicked.
As a victim of the Bloody Suit Case, although she does not have a very clear memory of the original incident, it must have left a very deep psychological shadow.
Bai Yu knocked on the door: "I wonder if I can ask your highness the princess something?"
"Your Highness is frightened. If anything happens, we'll talk about it later." Yang Diao Si stood in front of the door to prevent anyone from entering.
"It doesn't matter..." Ninth Princess raised her hand and whispered: "I want to talk to him alone. Yang Diao Si can go and guard outside the door."
Yang Diao Si glanced at Bai Yu and hesitated to speak, but still saluted and said: "As ordered."
Bai Yu came to the bed, looked at the pale Ninth Princess, and sat directly on the stool: "Did His Highness notice when this piece of paper was pasted on the back?"
"No." Ninth Princess smiled bitterly: "I really didn't notice it, so I felt terrible... The murderer is really very close to us."
"Your Highness, there is no need to be so panicked. If the target person is really His Highness, why bother adding such a piece of paper?" Bai Yu said lightly: "The murderer just wanted to use this method to cause panic."
"Are you sure?" Ninth Princess hesitated: "Isn't the murderer's real target not me?"
Bai Yu wanted to say that he had watched Conan and knew Kaitou Kidd's old tricks. Many times the flaws came from his own side who caused trouble.
An idea struck him and he suddenly asked: "Why does Your Highness think the murderer will definitely target you? Is it just because you are a survivor of the Bloody Suit case?"
Princess Ninth pursed her lips and did not answer for a moment, as if she was afraid of something.
Ouch...it seems like she really knows something?
Bai Yu came closer and said, "If something happens to your Highness, you might as well tell me directly."
Ninth Princess rubbed her fingers, still hesitant.
Bai Yu continued: "If His Highness informs you, then we will stay outside the door tonight to ensure that nothing happens to you tonight...and I have a bottle of healing medicine here, which may be able to relieve the blood poison in your body."
Hearing these words, the Ninth Princess raised her eyes: "Is this true?"
Bai Yu took out a holy blood bottle and said, "As a gentleman, please pay the deposit first."
He poured bright red potion into the tea cup.
Bai Yu said: "Do you need me to drink it first for you to test the poison?"
"If you want to poison me, you will definitely not be able to walk out of here alive." The Ninth Princess lowered her eyes: "It doesn't take long to live."
She took the tea cup, her fingers were trembling, and she finally mustered up the courage to drink the potion in one go. Then her eyes widened suddenly: "It's so sweet...does it taste like lychee?"
After taking a cup of good medicine, the Ninth Princess sat quietly for less than ten seconds before she felt a stream of hot air flowing through her limbs. She clenched her fists, her arms were so thin that she could hardly lift an object weighing ten kilograms, but at this time she walked After getting out of bed, I was able to lift a stool in one go.
"This..." Ninth Princess said with bright eyes: "Incredible, this medicine is really effective? It seems that my weak Qi and body have been cured, and the heart-burning pain caused by the blood poison has also been relieved a lot."
She stared at the glass bottle in Bai Yu's hand, with strong desire in her eyes: "Give me this holy medicine quickly, I will promise you anything!"
"Your Highness, you should take the medicine slowly. If it is too much, your body may not be able to bear it... Drinking too much will be a burden for you." Bai Yu said lightly: "You don't want to experience the pain of scraping bones to treat poison. Bar?"
The Ninth Princess paused and stood dignifiedly again: "Then, I can tell you what you want to know."
She sat back on the bed and recalled: "I can tell you that the murderer of the bloody suit case... was a man."
"Oh?" Bai Yu raised his eyebrows: "How do you say this?"
"When I was killed, I couldn't see his face or hear his voice, but I saw his feet. They were extremely big, so they couldn't be women's feet." Ninth Princess gestured Checked the size.
These are feet that are close to the size of fifty, and they really don’t look like feet that a woman can have.
"Didn't anyone check the clue that His Highness knew?"
"I have said it, but there is no result." The Ninth Princess shook her head and sighed: "Besides, the world is so big and there are so many people with big feet, are they all going to be caught and chopped? I can only judge that the other person is a man, and he is not young."
Bai Yu continued to ask: "Has the other party ever used drugs?"
"I must have used it." Ninth Princess covered her head: "My memory is not clear, my five senses are confused and blurred, and I can't remember anything else except those feet."
Bai Yu asked again: "Does Your Highness recognize Huang Qiyun?"
"This name sounds familiar...is it related to Huang Yanxia?" The Ninth Princess cast a puzzled look: "But I don't know the new swordsman."
...It seems that she used a pseudonym at the beginning.
Bai Yu put down the healing medicine and said calmly: "Take it once a day. After drinking it, the disease should be cured."
The Ninth Princess looked at the glass bottle and wanted to reach out her hand immediately, but her good tutoring made her hold back and said seriously: "If you can cure my disease, no matter what you need is glory, wealth or anything else, I will All can be given to you.”
"It's too early for Your Highness to say this now. The Medical Saint has no intention of letting us go back." Bai Yu said.
"I believe you can find the real culprit."
"What if I can't find it?"
"Then let's join forces to kill this Hou Mo and leave his name!" The Ninth Princess slapped the table: "I respect him for saving my life, but that cannot be the reason for him to take my life!"
"Your Highness is wise." Bai Yu said, and immediately stood up: "Then I won't disturb you. You can rest slowly."
"If you don't want to stay, you can spend more time with me... and chat with me?" Ninth Princess asked to stay.
"Sorry, I have to find out the truth." Bai Yu turned and walked outside the house.
"Mr. Bai!" Ninth Princess asked before he walked out of the door: "Will you come over to protect my safety tonight?"
"I dare not say goodbye."
Leaving these words behind, Bai Yu walked away gracefully.
Yang Diao Si quickly entered the room, looked at the Ninth Princess holding a glass bottle in her hand, bowed and said: "Your Highness, this person has a mysterious origin and cannot be trusted absolutely."
"I know." Ninth Princess whispered, "But I always feel that he is a trustworthy person."
…
That night.
All night tonight.
Everyone was still arranged to stay in their own rooms.
Yang Diao Temple was guarding the door of the Ninth Princess, Bai Yu was guarding on the roof, and the gun leader and Jin Fugui were sitting in the yard.
The four of them each stayed at their respective positions. Because staying up late was not good for your health, they stayed up all night... to ensure the safety of the Ninth Princess. At the same time, they were also waiting for the murderer of the Bloody Suit Case to appear and throw themselves into a trap.
Although Bai Yu doesn't have high expectations for this, he knows very well that the murderer of the Bloody Clothes Case will not really ask the police to come and kill the Ninth Princess directly, but chaos will still break out tonight.
If there is no chaos, how can we fish in troubled waters?
No matter how good the security measures are, they are all temporary reinforcements. This will disrupt the previous deployment, and more people will create chaos.
Bai Yu sat on the roof and looked at the bright moon, silently waiting for the commotion to appear.
Time passed by minute by minute.
The whole courtyard was very quiet, and there was not a single thing out of the ordinary.
Baicao Valley was also covered in heavy fog, and even the sounds of insects and birds could not be heard.
The moonlight was covered by dark clouds, and a cold wind blew by.
In the middle of the night.
Wu Susu and Jin Fugui's wife brought supper, and the three of them didn't leave their respective places. However, just sitting like this was boring, and they needed something to cheer them up.
In the middle of the journey, Jin Fugui asked: "Yang Diao Si, do you want my wife to come in and see if the princess is okay?"
"No need." Yang Diaosi put his hands in his pockets: "The princess is definitely fine. I have a way to know."
This Yang Diao Temple should have a special rare item in his hand that can confirm the safety of the Ninth Princess, so he acted so calmly.
"Thank you, Miss Wu." Bai Yu took the late night snack from the other party, opened and closed her lips, and said thank you.
Wu Susu gave a blessing and her body disappeared into the night.
The cook behind her held a lantern and chased after her: "Hey, wait for me. I don't dare to sleep alone at night."
Then……
The whole night passed like this.
Jin Fugui was kicked in a daze. When he saw the gun leader standing up, he was excited: "Here?"
"It's dawn."
Yang Diao Si took out a string of Buddhist beads from his pocket, took a look at the intact beads, and breathed a sigh of relief.
Jin Fugui held his waist and said with some fear and regret: "I haven't shown up all night. It seems that I really don't dare to come."
Bai Yu jumped down from the eaves and said calmly: "That's not necessarily the case... Next, we need to confirm the princess's safety with our own eyes."
Yang Zheng nodded, came to the door, and knocked on the door: "Your Highness, it's been a whole night."
There was no movement inside.
He continued to knock on the door.
There was still no movement inside.
I knocked several times in succession, but there was not even a single reply.
Yang Zheng couldn't help it anymore and pushed the door open. The scene in the room the next moment made him stunned.
Empty house, empty bed.
Her Royal Highness the Ninth Princess has disappeared!
"This, this..." Yang Zheng was speechless.
Jin Fugui on the side took a look and his scalp went numb: "What's going on! Where is Your Highness?"
"We stayed outside the door all night, and not even a fly could fly in!" The gun leader was also surprised.
Just as Bai Yu walked in and planned to take a look, Yang Zheng grabbed his sleeve: "Did you do something wrong! Or did you neglect your duty!"
"I didn't expect you to doubt me immediately." Bai Yu raised his eyebrows: "Have I done anything questionable?"
"His Highness looked uneasy after seeing you yesterday!" Yang Zheng raised his eyebrows and said angrily: "His Highness is missing. There must be something wrong with one of the three of us. You'd better bring it in!"
Bai Yu laughed directly after hearing this: "Are you serious?"
Yang Zheng could not wait to punch this charming and handsome face directly.
The gun leader quickly stopped him: "Now it's time to gather the ancestors and find Her Royal Highness the Ninth Princess as soon as possible! Didn't you say that Your Highness is still fine? If what he said last night was true, and the deceased was bled to death, then now There should still be a chance to save people!”
Jin Fugui echoed: "You are right, find someone first! Your Highness may still be alive!"
Yang Zheng glanced at the Buddhist beads, let go of his hand, and said in a low voice: "If Your Highness is ill, I will make you pay the price!"
Bai Yu hugged his sleeves, his face expressionless.
Everyone searched the other courtyard and knocked on the door to wake people up.
But what happened next changed even more.
Except for Wu Susu and the cook who were woken up in their respective rooms, no one else responded.
The twin workers were not in the room either, and disappeared directly.
Huang Qiyun was also missing at the same time, and she did not show up all night.
When Bai Yu returned to the room and was about to open the door, the gun leader kicked it open first.
Then a strong smell of blood came.
Looking closely, there were two bodies lying on the floor of the guest room.
The heads of the two bodies were chopped off, but judging from their clothes, they should be the twins who were hired.
The gun leader looked around and shouted: "Where is Huang Qiyun!"
The voice spread for several miles, shaking the dust on the eaves, but no one responded.
Bai Yu walked silently to the side of the body and checked it.
The person was dead.
But there was no sign of bleeding on the body, only the head was chopped off, and he should have died under the beheading weapon.
Both of them were covered with a lot of dust and dirt, and a lot of them were mixed with a lot of blood and turned black.
When he checked, there was a long spear on Bai Yu's shoulder.
"Mr. Bai, I need an explanation."
"What explanation?" Bai Yu didn't even turn his head.
"Where is Huang Qiyun!"
"Maybe she went to the toilet?"
"Don't talk nonsense! Where did she go? Why are there two headless bodies in the room!" Wu's spear leader said coldly: "Could it be that you kidnapped the Ninth Princess and killed her to silence her?"
Bai Yu was speechless, turned his head and rolled his eyes: "Why would I do this? Even if I did it, why would I stay here?"
Jin Fugui also said: "Brother Bai may not know! He was with us last night!"
The spear leader stared at the body in the room and said in a low voice: "I have been suspicious of Huang Qiyun from the beginning, but you have stopped me again and again. It is hard not to doubt whether you are in the same group from the beginning!"
Bai Yu pushed away the spear pressing on his shoulder, and his tone was no longer as polite as before: "What if it is, what if it is not?"
The majestic soul power gathered in his eyes and turned into a blazing supporting light. The violent pressure roared and covered the top, and even the space itself was shaking.
"Did I act too kind and make you misunderstand me?"
"Shouldn't you consider the tone you use when talking to me?"
"Bai, when did you become a prisoner who can be tortured by you!"
The spear in Wu Qiang's hand was almost unstable under Bai Yu's grip.
Jin Fugui didn't dare to look directly at it, and stood against the wall, almost unable to breathe under the pressure of the Holy Dao.
Bai Yu pushed the spear away, snorted coldly, and then continued to lower his head to examine the body.
The spear leader stepped back a few steps and stood aside...but his expression was not resentful, but a hint of insincere eagerness.
Of course, he knew how powerful Bai Yu was. If Bai Yu really wanted to kill, everyone present would not survive!
He was not stupid, so he never suspected that Bai Yu was the murderer. He didn't need to do so. With such strong hard power, he had the privilege of doing whatever he wanted in Baicao Villa.
Yang Zheng's behavior was because he didn't know Bai Yu's background. If he knew, how could he be so bold? After all, he was a martial arts champion, so he was naturally not such an impulsive and stupid person.
In the final analysis... the reason why he acted so impulsively was nothing more than to test Bai Yu's confidence and to disturb Huang Qiyun's trust in him.
After all, Huang Qiyun was missing, and there were two more bodies in the room. This was extremely suspicious no matter how you looked at it!
If the gun champion didn't force Bai Yu like this, how could he let the other party see clearly that Huang Qiyun was not trustworthy!
He was really worried that if Huang Qiyun was really the murderer behind the scenes... If so, Bai Yu must be "awake" before that.
After Bai Yu examined the corpse, he suddenly dragged the corpse away, and his fingers fell on the floor in the room. A force spread out, and fine cracks spread to every bluestone floor in the room. Soon, a piece of the broken floor collapsed.
In the corner, a gap was revealed.
Bai Yu said, "Sure enough, there is a tunnel."
"It's actually a tunnel!" Jin Fugui took a few steps closer: "Brother Bai, where does this tunnel lead to?"
Bai Yu jumped down: "We'll know after we take a look!"
After he entered the tunnel, the Gun Master also jumped down, and Jin Fugui stood at the door waiting eagerly.
Five minutes later.
Bai Yu pushed open the door and came through the courtyard.
"This tunnel almost goes around the entire courtyard, and every room is connected!" Bai Yu patted the dirt and dust on his body: "In addition, there is a road leading to the outside, but it has collapsed."
Jin Fugui looked at the courtyard and slapped his forehead: "So, Her Highness the Ninth Princess was abducted from the tunnel?"
"Well, we were guarding the gate, but we ignored the possibility that the other party would dig a hole." Bai Yu touched his chin: "The other party must have used drugs to stun the Ninth Princess, and then quietly moved her away from the tunnel."
"This tunnel looks newly built." The Gun Master said.
"Even for a martial saint, digging a hole wouldn't be easy, right?" Jin Fugui scratched his head.
"A martial saint can split mountains and cut rivers, but he has never tried digging a hole, but it must be a lot of noise. Besides, digging a hole requires moving soil, so a hole like this would require a lot of work."
"So this shouldn't be Wu Sheng's handiwork." Bai Yu took out an envelope: "I found this letter in the twins' luggage. Inside the letter was a message from the employer, which mentioned some interesting news."
The other two people took it and looked at it.
"It's actually a treasure hunter." Jin Fugui took a look and said: "It is rumored that these people are a group of tomb robbers, good at digging holes and excavations... They originated from the tomb robbers, and then gradually evolved into different categories. The treasure hunter is a professional The type of treasure hunt for your employer.”
"The twins must be very good at digging, and maybe they raise some special animals, such as treasure rats and pangolins."
"With the help of strange beasts, it is entirely possible to dig such tunnels in just a few days."
At this point, Jin Fugui suddenly slapped his thigh and suddenly realized: "How can I say that I have been lying in the guest room for the past two days, and I always feel like hearing the sound of mice at night! These emotional noises are like something digging holes!"
"So these two people...maybe they were in the same group as the murderer? They were just silenced." The gunman stared at the headless corpse, thoughtfully.
"Not necessarily, it may be that he is being used." Bai Yu took the envelope and said, "The treasure hunter is here to hunt for treasures. What treasures do you think there can be in Baicao Valley?"
"Well, as a secluded place for the medical saint, perhaps there are all kinds of rare treasures, right?"
"It's easy to know." Bai Yu pointed at the tunnel: "One word - dig!"
"What to dig for?"
"These two people must have dug something. If you dig along the traces they dug, you can find the answers you need." Bai Yu patted the letter on the desk: "The road has collapsed, but it should be man-made. Caused."
"I think that the death of these two people was, first, because the murderer had figured out their identities and needed to use the tunnel they built; second, because they really dug up something incredible and knew secrets they shouldn't know. "
"So as long as we dig down and follow the collapse route, we will know what these two people found."
"Who among you is willing to bear this burden? Who is willing to choose civil engineering?"
Jin Fugui was the first to back down: "My figure is not suitable for underground digging."
Wu Qiankui asked directly: "If I find evidence that the murderer is Huang Qiyun, what will you do?"
"Then I will personally arrest her and bring her to justice." Bai Yu replied, "I want to keep my promise."
The gun leader grabbed Jin Fugui and jumped into the tunnel: "Remember what you said!"
Bai Yu looked at the two people and shook his head helplessly. Wu Qiankui was really stubborn...but how could Huang Qiyun be the real murderer? The fox tail of the murderer in the bloody suit case had clearly been exposed.
As soon as he stepped out of the door, the next moment, a powerful palm force hit his face.
Bai Yu stood firmly on the spot, raised his hand and clapped it. The palm force was moved away. In an instant, half of the house behind him was destroyed, and the roof was lifted up to a height of more than ten feet.
Yang Zheng said coldly: "You are indeed a saint! And you are not poisoned!"
"Whether I am poisoned or not, what is my cultivation level, does it have anything to do with you?" Bai Yu took a step forward and crossed the space to the atrium of the other courtyard.
"Stop pretending!" Yang Zheng's hair was dancing in the wind: "Hand over His Highness, otherwise, I will let you witness the torture of Dongchang!"
Bai Yu was angry and funny when he heard this, and mocked: "Do you all really not understand human speech, or do you think I'm easy to bully?"
"You don't even have any evidence, so you want to torture yourself to extract a confession?"
"It's really full of the characteristics of the feudal dynasty."
Yang Zheng was extremely angry.
Not many of these saints have good tempers at all, and all of them are quite accepting of death.
Especially such a world-famous master never thinks that he will become the object of others' teasing. Because the force value is too high, he will subconsciously be overconfident and think that everything can be solved by force value.
But Bai Yu has his own way to deal with such people.
"Since Yang Diaosi has taken the initiative to lose his mind and refuses to reason, then I will use some fists and kicks."
He crossed his fingers.
"Dignified former Likui, you might as well use more strength...Did you not eat?"
…
at the same time.
Where the mist fills the air.
Underground ice cellar.
The low temperature here is suitable for food storage.
A coffin was placed in the low-temperature ice cellar. The coffin board was not closed, but covered with a layer of white cloth as a cover.
A figure approached quietly, and after confirming again and again that there was no other smell around him, he stretched out his hand and pressed it on the white cloth, then lifted it up.
The next moment, there was a strange movement under the white cloth!
A cold hand grasped the wrist, and the figure who had half of the white cloth lifted suddenly froze.
In the coffin under the white cloth, a pair of bright eyes stared at the man.
Huang Qiyun said coldly: "I've been waiting for you for a long time!"
