Start Six Maids

The operative pointed to Qian Guangyuan's foot and said, "The mouse swallowed a toe of Qian Guangyuan's corpse."

Chu Ci followed the trend and saw that Qian Guangyuan's left foot was missing a thumb, and there were obvious teeth marks and bite marks on the fracture.

Chu Ci pondered for a moment, and then ordered, "Take all these corpses in the Qian Manor and keep them under strict surveillance. Don't allow anything to come close!"

A group of operatives hurriedly took orders respectfully, "Yes, my lord!"

"Also." Chu Ci pointed to the mouse under the basket and said, "Take it and follow me!"

After finishing speaking, Chu Ci directly left Qian Mansion.

An operator found a cage to put the mouse in, and hurriedly followed.

After leaving the Qian Mansion, Chu Ci walked around Taikang Street, and finally came to an unoccupied mansion.

Chu Ci pointed to the empty courtyard and said, "Put the cats and mice here."

A cat and a mouse were all locked in a cage and placed in the open space of the courtyard.

Strange to say, all the cats and mice were lying quietly in the cage with their eyes closed, and they didn't intend to run away anxiously.

Qin Xiaohai walked up to Chuci, and asked respectfully, "My lord, what shall we do next?"

Chu Ci looked at the sky and said, "Wait!"

"Tell the brothers to stand guard around the courtyard, unsheath your swords, and string your bows and crossbows!"

Qin Xiaohai was a little confused, but he wisely didn't ask, but respectfully accepted the order, "Yes, my lord!"

Jin Changjiang looked at the deserted courtyard, frowned and said, "This courtyard seems to have been uninhabited for a long time, what are we doing guarding this courtyard?"

"Is it possible that the murderer will come here?"

Chu Ci took a look at Jin Changjiang and sneered, "You're really smart once."

"The bait has been cast, just waiting for the big fish to take the bait!"

Jin Changjiang heard the sarcasm in Chu Ci's tone, and the decree lines on his face trembled slightly.

"it is good!"

"I want to see what you can catch!"

Under the order of Chu Ci, the members of the Weiqing Department of the brigade were mobilized, secretly lurking around the courtyard, the swords were unsheathed, and the bows and crossbows were stringed.

Chu Ci and Jin Changjiang picked a hut and walked in.

"Come on!"

Chu Ci recruited an operator and ordered, "Go to a nearby restaurant and order a table of food and drink!"

The operator was taken aback, and hurriedly nodded in response, "Yes, my lord!"

The operator turned around and left the hut to prepare food and drinks for Chu Ci.

"sit down!"

Chu Ci greeted Jin Changjiang to sit down, and said with a smile, "It's still early, let's eat something."

A table of food and wine was quickly prepared, and Chu Ci and Jin Changjiang sat opposite each other.

Jin Changjiang was silent for a moment, and poured a glass of wine for Chu Ci and himself.

"Chuqian matter."

Jin Changjiang looked at Chu Ci, and asked in a puzzled tone, "Would the murderer of the Qianfu case really come here?"

Picking up the wine glass, Chu Ci chuckled and said, "Look at your luck."

"Luck?" Jin Changjiang was taken aback when he heard the words, "Are you a little sloppy?"

Chu Ci glanced at Jin Changjiang and said, "Besides this, do you have any other options?"

Jin Changjiang was silent for a moment, then shook his head and said, "I hope Chu Qian's luck will be good enough!"

"Ha ha···"

Chu Ci chuckled, squeezed the wine glass and said, "Drink."

After drinking and eating, there was still no movement in the courtyard.

Chu Ci opened a gap in the window of the hut, and observed the situation in the courtyard through the gap.

Jin Changjiang sat on the chair without saying a word, with his right hand resting on the handle of the knife at his waist, ready to deal with emergencies at any time.

In the courtyard, there was silence.

Time passed, and the last ray of light disappeared at the end of the sky.

The hazy moonlight scattered in the courtyard, and the reflected courtyard became colder and colder.

In the open space of the courtyard, a cat and a mouse were locked in a cage.

squeak-

Meow--

The originally quiet cat and mouse suddenly became manic, bumping into the cage non-stop, trying to escape from here.

In the hut, Chu Ci focused his eyes and said in a low voice, "Here we come!"

click!

With a flick of Jin Changjiang's wrist, the long knife was half an inch out of its sheath.

Through the gap in the window, Chu Ci could clearly see the situation in the courtyard.

The cat and mouse in the cage became more and more agitated, trying to escape from the cage by hitting the cage desperately.

Woo!

The whimpering of the evening wind rang out, stirring up a few fallen leaves in the courtyard.

In the cold night sky, at some point, a group of dark clouds gathered, hovering directly above the courtyard.

Swish!

A rope as thick as a thumb slowly descended from the cloud.

In the hut, Jin Changjiang suddenly clenched the handle of the knife and watched the scene with wide eyes.

A strange look flashed in Chu Ci's eyes, and he murmured, "Master Xicai, it's really you!"

In the courtyard, the rope hanging from the cloud had already fallen to the ground.

In the next second, a figure broke through the cloud and rolled down along the rope.

Snapped!

The figure stepped on the ground, and the hazy moonlight shone on the figure.

He was dressed in a colorful robe, with pale oil paint all over his face.

It is the colorist who once performed tricks on West Street!

The play colorist glanced across the courtyard, and finally landed on the cat and mouse in the cage.

"Ha ha···"

The play colorist gave a chuckle, and stretched out his hand to make a move towards the cage.

A ray of green flame suddenly appeared on the cat and the mouse.

call!

The flame grows with the wind, and it burns into a ball in the blink of an eye!

The artist raised his hand, and the green flame escaped from a cat and a mouse, and slowly floated into the artist's palm.

The cat and mouse in the cage died instantly.

The hair is dry, the flesh is browned, like roasted meat in an oven!

Chapter 168 Weird, ever-changing artist!

In the hands of the play colorist, a ball of green flame kept rising and rolling.

"Tsk!"

"Just so much?"

The play colorist looked at the green flame in his hand with disgust.

The next second, the play colorist took a deep breath towards the flame.

call!

In an instant, the green flames turned into two smoke dragons, which went in through the nostrils of the artist.

"hiss···"

"what···"

The play colorist raised his head comfortably and took a long breath, as if he had inhaled some fairy energy.

"The smell of the soul is still so tempting."

The play colorist murmured in a low voice.

After thinking about it for a while, the play colorist turned his head left and right, his eyes sweeping around the courtyard.

"Ha ha···"

The play artist chuckled and said, "I need to perform a trick, please come out?"

squeak-

There was the sound of the door turning.

Chu Ci pushed open the door, and walked out of the room with Jin Changjiang one after the other.

"It's you?"

The play artist recognized Chu Ci, and a smile appeared on his face covered with white oil paint, "What a coincidence, we meet again!"

Chu Ci put his finger on the handle of the long knife and said softly, "Yes, we meet again."

"I remember you said last time that you will tell me your identity next time we meet, can you tell me now?"

The play artist tilted his head when he heard the words, and said with a grin, "Is there? I don't remember!"

With a light hook of Chu Ci's finger, the handle of the long knife was quietly attached to his palm.

"Really? That's a pity."

The play colorist asked, "What's the pity?"

Chu Ci looked at the play artist, with a sneer on the corner of his mouth, "It's a pity that I don't know your name yet after you die."

After finishing speaking, Chu Ci turned to look at Jin Changjiang, "Call someone!"

Jin Changjiang nodded slightly, then drew his sword out of its sheath!

Clang!

The sound of knives echoed in the courtyard.

Whoops!

In the next second, figures flashed around the courtyard.

More than a dozen operatives of the secret department held swords and bows and crossbows, and surrounded the opera masters.

Surrounded by members of the Department of Strange Affair, the play colorist not only showed no fear on his face, but smiled even more cheerfully.

"There are only so few people? It's a bit small!"

Chu Ci raised his eyebrows, and said softly, "Do it!"

With an order, all the operatives pulled the triggers together.

Whoosh!Whoosh!Whoosh!

More than a dozen crossbow bolts shot out like lightning.

"Ha ha···"
