Knight of the Sea

17.

Qin Weiyu hadn't had time for the other party's words to mean anything, when a woman's scream suddenly burst out from the long street outside the window, the scream seemed like a knife cut through the leisurely and lazy noise at the end of the banquet, and everyone All the attention was attracted to one place, which soon caused a bigger commotion.

The two looked at each other, then quickly opened the door and rushed over.

"What happened?" Qin Weiyu hurried to the gate, pretending to be confused and pulling a person to ask.

"Someone was killed!" The man covered his mouth with a pale face, "It must have been done by Poisonous Scorpion Amber, only they would be so unscrupulous..."

The poisonous scorpion amber is an assassin organization directly affiliated to Abal, and it deals with all the existences that the king does not like in the dark. It is often a person who is a favorite of Abal's subordinate one day, and becomes a street person the next day. Abandoned corpses.Qin Weiyu was frightened when she heard the words, turned her head and said, "Tinglan, you should go quickly, I'm worried...Tinglan?"

There was no one around him.

Fang Tinglan had already sneaked into the place closest to the scene of the crime. He listened to the panicked whispers of the crowd around him, and quickly sorted out what happened.

This man named Herac is also one of the guests at the banquet tonight. He was impatient to open his mouth like a fool to express elegant compliments to a pile of gunpowder shot into the sky, and left the table early to find something more real of "happiness".He fell in love with a prostitute on the side of the street. After the two negotiated the price, they went to the alley to do errands. While the man was enjoying himself, his coachman drove the carriage to the entrance of the alley.Herak was so engrossed in the hole that he didn't even notice that the coachman got out of the car and came towards him, let alone that his coachman seemed to be so much thinner than usual.

He pressed the woman's waist from behind, and the coachman pressed his cheek from behind.

The semen and the blood from the throat spurted out almost simultaneously.

The real unlucky driver has been found, and the man passed out in the carriage, stripped to nothing but a pair of underpants; another witness curled up in the middle of the crowd, with blood clots stuck to his braids, for this banquet " The beautiful skirt prepared by "Business" has become a rag, and she is hugging her shoulders and weeping softly.

"Hey, even though you are a prostitute, you shouldn't have to experience this kind of nightmare." The old woman beside Fang Tinglan sighed.

Soon, the guards on duty at night also arrived here led by the sheriff. The sheriff went to check the body, several people sealed off the scene, and the remaining one went to question the girl.

The prostitute who had personally experienced this horrific assassination trembled, the girl's sight was out of focus, and her voice was broken: "I don't know anything, I don't see anything...I just feel something falling on my hair, It's like rain, but it's much hotter than rain. I thought he was throwing up, after all, he smelled like alcohol... Immediately afterwards, he fell on me as if he had no bones, oh my god , I was killed by a dead person..." She couldn't continue, she covered her face and began to cry.

Fang Tinglan frowned.

Not quite right.

The girl described it too vividly.The words she uttered were filled with scorching temperature, and they were sent to everyone's ears together with her sobs and gasps.A few onlookers who were close to each other let out an exclamation, and the exclamation soon changed into a kind of secret excitement in the crowd. Jiumengcheng has at least half a month's worth of conversation.

"Did you not see the murderer at all?" asked the guard.

"I didn't, it's too dark..."

"Really, but now you're the only—"

"I said I didn't see anything!" The girl screamed almost collapsed, "I fainted right then! Why do you think a girl would have the guts to look back at a murderer with a knife?!" She went crazy Liao Ban wanted to push the guard away, but he didn't have any strength in his hand, instead his feet went limp and he fell to the ground.

This scene aroused the sympathy of many people present, and someone shouted: "Why do you have to persecute a poor girl!"

"Isn't there another coachman?"

"She said she had passed out..."

"Is the coachman awake?"

"You should go find the murderer now instead of bullying her!"

The young guard was a little at a loss under the anger of the crowd. He probably just took office not long ago, and he stammered in his defense: "I, I didn't bully her, and I didn't say anything..." He looked at his own face for help. Boss, the magistrate in black robe who was still studying a blood stain on the wall not far away clicked his tongue. The man came over, pulled the girl's arm roughly with one hand, pinched the girl's jaw with the other, and coldly He took a look at each other.

The girl stopped crying immediately.

The magistrate ordered: "Record the girl's name and address, and let her go."

His voice was more characteristic than his face, with the sharpness of metal and the hardness of stone.Fang Tinglan couldn't help but look at him twice.

The prostitute refused the hand extended by the little guard, struggled to stand up, whispered her name and address to him, and then staggered away from the opposite direction of the crowd, covering her face.

The guards began to disperse the crowd under the sign of the sheriff, so that the Shiratori District could restore its proper dignity. "But that's okay, she won't dare to do this anymore in the future, lowly people will definitely encounter dirty things, just like the shoes of people who have been to the muddy area, they can't deceive people." The old woman tsk tsk Sighing, she added, "Be a decent female worker. A decent female worker won't fall into this kind of thing."

The girl walked slowly along the stone street in the Shiratori district.Away from the center of the turmoil, the rest of the White Bird District is as quiet and soft as it should be at night.When she was about to reach the reflection river at the junction of Bainiao District and Anwana District, she suddenly turned around, and the long dress decorated with blood stains formed a beautiful arc in the night.

"Hey, Dongzhou guy." The girl who was panicked and helpless just now had no tears on her face, and there was a sly smile on her red lips.

18.

"You followed me," she said.

"I learned how to stalk people when I was young. If I really want to stalk you, I won't let you find out." Fang Tinglan smiled, "You and your accomplices are too exaggerated, I just want to see when you will leave Get off stage."

"But my guest said that if I were more beautiful, I could become an actress in the big theater." The girl made a pouted expression: "You came here specially because you were excited to see the dead, right? Then you Dongzhou people have really special hobbies.”

"I'm really a little emotional, but it's not because of you." Fang Tinglan said.

"Who is that because of?"

"Hai Lian." Fang Tinglan spoke slowly, "It was Hai Lian who did it, right? You, him, and the sheriff are all on the same team."

The sudden surprise on the girl's face made Fang Tinglan confirm his conjecture. When he wanted to continue to ask something, he suddenly felt that something was wrong - after all, a girl who participated in the assassination and wanted to be an actress stayed on her face. This bit of surprise took a little longer.

Then Fang Tinglan felt a cool summer breeze behind his ears.

No, the coldness of the blade.
