female catcher

Into the night, the first quarter of the moon.

The sound of singing and dancing in Liuxiang stopped, and the cold night breeze frowned.

Walking alone at night is always frightening, not to mention there are always red lanterns swaying in the night wind on the night road of Mingyufang, and there are always some strange noises in the too quiet alley, which scares her from time to time, she can't help but tense up With some revealing clothes, he quickened his pace.

For a prostitute like her, the night is accompanied by hibiscus tents, dragon and phoenix beds, red candles and emerald screens.It was the first time she walked outside like this, but there was no way, she had to survive, and she also had a small longing, so she would sneak out on such a night without telling the people in the building.

As if thinking of something, a smile bloomed on her pretty face, very shallow, very faint, but also a long-lost truth.

Suddenly a black figure came out from the corner, she was startled, she curled up and leaned against the wall of the alley, I felt pitifully weak.

She gritted her teeth and didn't scream out. She saw the black figure that frightened her clearly through the strange light of the red lantern, and immediately changed her posture, showing her usual coquettishness, and whispered: "You brat, what are you doing?" Yan Bukeng followed me, scared at night..."

Before she finished speaking, a scent different from her body hit her, and she felt dizzy and lost consciousness.

When she regained some consciousness, she no longer knew where she was, nor did she know what was about to happen?

His eyes were covered with black cloth, and his limbs were weak, as if he was floating in the clouds and couldn't step on the ground, like a dream or waking up.

Suddenly there was a panting sound in my ear, heavy and heavy, rapid and scalding, like a wild animal.

She was familiar with this panting sound in a happy place, and she seemed to have predicted what would happen next.

The clothes peeled off her body one by one, and the skin was strangely hot when it touched the cold air. The unfamiliar fingertips slowly slid across the creamy skin with a tinge of chilling coldness. Struggled up.He wanted to make a sound, but he could only keep silent. The man tied a cloth strip around her mouth, and even stabbed her tongue with anesthetic, and his stroking movements became more and more bold.

She couldn't help feeling a little frustrated, and gave up struggling. Anyway, it doesn't matter if it's one more time or less. She's already numb, and there are no tears in her blindfolded eyes. She just hopes that this person will let her go after it's over.

She allowed the man in the darkness to caress her body unscrupulously, and his breathing became heavier and heavier, and she even suspected that there was still saliva dripping from the man's mouth. Suddenly, she was a little scared.

Blindfolded, other senses are expanding, and the hands in the darkness linger on her young skin, full of love and desire, enkeli likes this kind of game, but no one likes it now. She shuddered.

There is a chilling danger in this man.

The development of the matter was completely beyond her imagination. When a cold blade was close to her spine in the dark, she realized that what this person wanted was not physical pleasure.But it was too late, except for the instinctive trembling of her body, she could only listen to the devil-like whispers in her ears, and the blindfold slowly, slowly, slipped off.

"Hey, look at your beautiful appearance, I will let her..."

The knife kissed her jade-like skin, and the bright red blood beads penetrated, condensed, and fell...

……

Capital City, Fengyue Building.

Grain rain has passed, spring is passing and summer is approaching, and the weather in the capital is becoming more and more comfortable and pleasant.

In the morning, there were almost no people walking around in Mingyufang, and a person had already walked through the alley and knocked open the door of the backyard of Fengyuelou.Under Yaohong's teasing eyes, Qu Saishou took two food boxes into the Fengyue Tower in a hurry, and immediately stuffed a food box for Yaohong.

"Sister Yaohong, the food at Shiweixuan should be served early in the morning, while it's still hot."

"My dear Shui'er, you came too diligently."

"Sister Yaohong doesn't welcome me?" She looked at Yaohong with watery eyes.

"Oh, don't look at me with this kind of expression. Once you show this kind of expression, few people in the building can resist it. What kind of skill is acting like a baby with me? If you have the ability, use this trick against Ningyan." Yaohong endured He couldn't stop patting Qushui's forehead, then opened the food box and looked at it, his eyes were full of joy, this girl is really pleasing.

Qu Shui curled her lips, and muttered softly, "It's good if she wants to do this." She also racked her brains to get closer to that weird-tempered oiran.

"Okay, go to the building and be careful, don't disturb others." Yaohong smiled and left with the food box, not treating Qushui as an outsider.

Qu Shui calmed down, and walked to Ningyan's room with ease.

Fengyue Tower is a place Ning Yan is familiar with, but it is rare for her to sleep peacefully, her sleepiness is sweet, but a knock on the door disturbed her morning dream.

"Qin Yanran, Qin Yanran, the door is open, I bought it and come early."

Ning Yan naturally knew who the annoying voice was, turned over and didn't want to pay attention to it, but the moderate knock on the door and the sound of 'Qin Yanran' was like urging her to die.Ning Yan threw off the quilt, put on a gauze, went barefoot and opened the door, and let that annoying spirit in.

Qu Shui was already prepared to be beaten, seeing that Ningyan didn't call as usual, he walked into the room with a smile, and saw Ningyan hitting her bare feet. "Why don't you wear shoes? The cold starts from the feet."

Ning Yan was too lazy to talk, dragging her half-dream and half-awake body, sat down at the table, propped her head up for a nap, wondering what tricks Qushui was up to today?

Qu Shui didn't expect Ning Yan to be enthusiastic, and it would be great to let her in, so she turned around and closed the door, and walked to the table, "Here, this is the three-color steamed cake you mentioned, and mung bean cake , Hibiscus Cake, Linglong Flower Roll, Wonton Noodles, Red Bean Barley Porridge. Why are you so picky? It’s hard to arrange breakfast at Shiweixuan, and there is a limited amount. Those official maids and rich man’s servants are also tough, but they can squeeze me to death Now, you don’t know that if I didn’t know martial arts, I would have been intimidated by the cannibalistic eyes of those mothers.” Qu Shui said while displaying all the pastries in the food box. "Hey, Qin Yanran, I've worked so hard, you should go wash your face first and clear yourself up. These smell delicious."

"You're really annoying." Ning Yan closed her eyes and frowned.

"You!" The corner of Qu Shui's mouth twitched, "Hmph, my good intentions were not rewarded. If you hadn't said that the food at Shiweixuan is delicious, I wouldn't have queued up so early in the morning."

"I just said it casually, I want to have a good rest rather than eat."

Qu Shui sat down angrily, "Forget it if you don't eat, I will eat if you don't eat."

Ning Yan hummed softly as a response, and the room fell silent after that.It's been a long time since I heard Qu Shui's chirping sound, Ning Yan couldn't help but opened one eye and took a look, only to see Qu Shui stuffing cakes into her mouth with relish, her little face was swollen into a bun, that's not a good look , but it was embarrassing for her to restrain herself from making a sound.

"I said, are you so idle? You come here to find me bad luck." Ning Yan couldn't understand why this naughty girl suddenly entangled her.

"Cough cough." Qu Shui was choked, patted his chest twice, took a mouthful of red bean porridge, and said in a bad mood: "What do you mean by looking for you, I am showing kindness, okay? Fengyuelou is also half closed recently , Sister Yaohong, Sister Fengwu, and Linlang all have their own plans and arrangements, but you just stay in the house all day with nothing to do, and you don’t have any friends. I’m afraid you will get sick from boredom, so I kindly come to accompany you, Are you still not happy? To be honest, Qin Yanran, the weather is fine today, let's go picnic, and we can catch up with the late spring, you will always be in the room and it will be bad, if you are worried that Boss Feng will not talk well, then don't worry, She has been persuaded by me a long time ago, and we can also invite her when we go to the picnic, as well as Sister Yaohong and the others."

"Sister?" Ning Yan was stunned for a moment, and then returned to normal, "You will take advantage of the court's ban and your lady is away, and bribe all the people in the building. Your lady has also left for more than three months You're so attached to her, why don't you worry?" Seeing that Qu Shui's face was covered in cake crumbs, Ning Yan took out her handkerchief, and casually raised her hand to wipe Qu Shui's mouth.

Qu Shui was slightly in a daze. At this time, Ning Yan was no longer so repulsive to others. She was not wearing makeup, her long hair was loose, and she was leaning against the table with her chin half propped up.Qu Shui stared straight at Ning Yan's side face, and while Ning Yan wasn't paying attention, he looked at her from head to toe, "It would be great if I were always this gentle."

"Huh? What are you mumbling about?" Ning Yan withdrew her hand and poured herself a cup of cold tea.

"No, it's nothing. I mean, the lady has been receiving letters, and the last time she said that she has left for Beijing, and judging by the time, she will be back in four or five days. But you, hurry up and freshen up, let's go on an outing together go."

"You are really persistent."

Qu Shui chuckled, "That's not true. You'd better obey me obediently. I'm going to rely on you to go out today. I have plenty of time."

"Even if Nangong Biluo is not here, the procuratorate doesn't know how to send you more tasks to disturb my sleep." Ning Yan has now woken up a lot, she got up and opened the door, and called the girl to call Fresh water came, washed and tidied up, whether she would go out with Qushui is another matter, she didn't want to stay in bed either.

Qu Shui folded his arms obediently on the table, watched Ning Yan tidy up, and said at the same time: "Speaking of which, the Metropolitan Procuratorate has not been very safe recently. Li Heng is in trouble, and Mr. Wang is in a state of distress. How can there be any time to manage it?" I. Miss is not here, those murders and robbers have stopped, but the ups and downs in the officialdom will not stop. "

Ningyan paused as she washed her face, and then glanced back at Qushui, "Your lady is like a plague god. It seems like there will be a homicide or a serious case if she is around."

Qu Shui's forehead twitched, "Eh, although I say it's not very good, but Miss's horoscope is really tough. Whenever she is around, bad luck for gangsters and criminals, she will always meet them. In another sense Let me tell you, the young lady is an evil star, and the plague god is too ugly."

Sitting in front of the dressing table, Ning Yan rolled her eyes regardless of her appearance, "I thought you and your young lady are as close as sisters, so she is a evil star in your heart?"

"If you have a good relationship, you can say whatever you want, and the lady will not care about me." Qu Shui tilted his head, his eyes never moved away from Ningyan, "Miss, she is sometimes too gentle, if It's really good to be a cold-faced evil star, and it's good to be a head catcher like Chen Yidao, at least no one will come to her for help, and she can be more clean, so that Madam won't always worry about her."

Ning Yan puts her makeup on the mirror and simply draws her eyebrows, and she is already extremely beautiful. The capital of the oiran is a natural beauty, but the words she speaks are tinged with loneliness. "If there are people who care about her, she will become a legendary female arrester, and she will risk her life on the tip of a knife. If no one cares about her, those who care will only become more and more indifferent."

Qu Shui sat up straight involuntarily, and even lowered his voice, "Qin Yanran, you..."

Not alone.

Qu Shui wanted to ask about Ningyan's life experience, but she was a little scared. It was not easy to get closer to Ningyan. She was too worried, she refused anyone to get involved, refused to care, and refused to make friends.

"You still stay here?" Before Qushui could organize the words, Ningyan had already cleaned up, and she looked cold and gorgeous on weekdays, with all the indifference between her brows and eyes, "Go and find your sister Yaohong and Feng Wu Sister, let's go picnic with you, I'm not that interested."

"Come on! You're all dressed up."

"Dressing up is a work habit, I didn't promise you." Ning Yan left the room on her own.

Qu Shui hurriedly followed, and did not forget to bring a plate of three-color steamed cakes, "Qin Yanran, eat a little, you can't skip breakfast. Don't lose your temper, and you won't lose a piece of meat if you go out with us for a while. It's because you've been alone for too long that you can't smile all day with a straight face. No matter how beautiful you are, you'll get tired of it. If other people get tired of it, your status as an oiran will be lost, you..."

Qu Shui followed Ningyan closely with small steps, talking non-stop in his small mouth.Ning Yan stopped for a moment, took the plate in Qu Shui's hands, and smiled sweetly, Qu Shui suddenly fell silent, and looked at Ning Yan's face slightly dull.

The ancients said: Beauty is alluring, with a sweet smile, you will bewitch Yangcheng and Cai, and you will never deceive others.

Seeing Qu Shui's dumbfounded look, the curvature of the corners of her mouth changed, she was seven points cold and three points evil, and she was still teasing, "It turns out that it's not that I can't laugh, it's that I don't want to. The name of the oiran, I originally also Don't care. You should think more about yourself, you seem to be too playful recently, and you are all focused on Fengyuelou, when your lady comes back, do you still have the mind to accompany her to investigate the case?" After finishing speaking, she turned around and left with a plate in her hand. .

"Who says I don't have any thoughts? I've obviously just exhausted all my thoughts. I'm not flattering you." Qu Shui muttered aggrievedly. After calming down, he cheekily chased after Ning Yan. The two of them had arrived in the back garden, "Qin Yanran ,"

"Come on, someone killed—"

An incomparably sharp scream passed through the back garden and pierced straight into Fengyue Tower, which also interrupted Qu Shui's stalking.

Qu Shui frowned, his body jumped up instinctively, and after a few ups and downs, he climbed out of the high wall of Fengyue Tower.Following the direction from which the exclamation came, they soon came to the back alley of a large courtyard. Many people were already gathered there, all of them with strange expressions, covering their mouths and noses and whispering, the atmosphere was strange.

Qu Shui pushed away the crowd, and smelled an unusual smell.A cart was placed in the corner, and there was a wooden barrel for bathing on it. It had a lid and was half-opened, but the inside could not be seen clearly.In addition to the ruts and footprints, there are also traces of dragging, which are the marks left by a person sitting on the ground being dragged away from the cart. At this moment, the person is still sitting on the ground, unable to get up, and the people next to him are still comforting him .

Qu Shui walked to the cart, the scene had been destroyed, and there was nothing to worry about, she lifted the lid of the wooden bucket on the cart, even though she was used to seeing dead bodies, she also took two steps back in fright .

Inside the wooden barrel was a red, bloody corpse. The skin of the whole body was stripped off, leaving only bare flesh and blood. The eyes were wide open, hanging in the eye sockets, without eyelids. One part fell off, and the mouth was Open wide, the original appearance could no longer be distinguished. The corpse was curled up in the barrel, conveying only the helplessness and panic that made people feel chills.

Qu Shui swallowed her saliva, she couldn't bear to approach the cart again, and closed the lid of the wooden bucket, a cold voice suddenly came from beside her, which made her tremble all over.

"It seems that your young lady is coming back, and the case is taking the initiative to meet it." Ning Yan followed Qu Shui, and naturally saw the situation in the wooden barrel, and she was concerned about Qu Shui's pale face despite her heart palpitations.

Qu Shui's expression straightened, and he blamed: "Human life is at stake, don't make fun of it."

Ning Yan raised her eyebrows, not only didn't care about it, she turned her mouth up again, "Okay~ Now, how should we deal with this matter?" Her eyes swept around and landed on Qu Shui who was thinking seriously. A bit of a catching posture.

"Well—at the feet of the Son of Heaven, this method of killing and skinning is extremely cruel. The murderer will not bring the law to justice, and the people will not be safe. Judging from the wooden barrels and carts where the corpses were transported, this is not the first scene of the crime. In this way, you should find someone first. Transport the corpse back to the Metropolitan Procuratorate, and then send someone to Xinglintang to find Sister Shang for an autopsy."

"how about you?"

"I'll check around here and maybe I can find some more clues. When you go to the Metropolitan Procuratorate, remember to call a team of brothers. Manpower is needed for the investigation and visit." Qu Shui walked towards the man who was sitting on the ground paralyzed.

Looking at her back, Ning Yan snorted softly, "You're really welcome." After taking a last look at the backyard of Piaoxiang Pavilion and Liu Yizhi, the old bustard of Piaoxiang Pavilion among the crowd, Ning Yan went back upstairs to call for someone.

Qu Shui finished questioning the person who found the body and the surrounding people, and then avoided the crowd and walked towards the entrance of the alley. An acquaintance in the crowd followed her, and couldn't help asking: "Miss Qushui, what happened to such a cruel thing?" The case, where is the Nangong arrester?"

"Don't worry, if there is a case call, the lady will rush back even if she is thousands of miles away. Who said she is a competent headhunter. You help me keep an eye on this film, and I will do something." Qu Shui beat He patted Xiantou on the shoulder, and quickly disappeared into the alley.

The vampire demon was gone in the capital, and a skinning monster appeared again. When people were panicking, they were looking forward to Nangong Biluo's return as soon as possible.

But it was said that Nangong Tutou left Quanzhou City, and ran to Jinling City again, and then returned to Beijing on horseback.

A few days ago, she suffered all the turbulence on the sea, and now she is steadily moving on land. She did not rush to whip the horse and go on the road, but rode on the back of the startled sail, held the sword and led the rein, and slowly swayed in the remote small town. on the way.This path is closer, there are fewer people, and there are no tea sheds in the post house. Fortunately, Nangong Butou was prepared. He cut the best beef, filled a pot of wine, and covered himself in the sunlight of the forest. It is also pleasant to smell the earth and grass from the horse's hooves.

Nangong Biluo opened the jug, raised his head and drank a big gulp, and then chanted: "A jug of wine in the clear sky, a horse on the road, one person is slightly drunk, the other is slightly drunk, holding a sword with light sleeves, mountains and rivers are one step away, haha."

Alcohol, after assuming a job, I rarely drink it for no reason. Could it be that Liu Piaopiao was infected and aroused the long-sleeping wine bug?The female arrester's self-control shouldn't be that bad.

"Well, it's just this one time." She said to herself.

The horse under the seat suddenly stopped, and when Nangong Biluo was wondering, Jingfan started to hoof again, but walked towards the deep place in the forest.

"Hey old man, where are you taking me? We're going the wrong way."

But Jingfan didn't turn around, and led Nangong Biluo through the deep woods, and came to a mountain lake with green grass, flowers and trees, sunshine and blue waves, birds chirping in the forest, ripples in the water, breeze blowing Face, it makes people's hearts shake.

Jingfan stopped, nodded his horse's head a few times, and snorted for a while, Nangong Biluo laughed loudly, "Haha, good~old man, let's rest here for a while."

She got off the horse, hung the saber on the horse, faced the lake and mountains, stretched her muscles and bones, loosened her shoulders, stepped on the green grass and bowed her head to eat.Nangong Biluo looked around, the corner of her mouth curled up, and she untied her belt.

The inner lining of the coat was casually scattered on the shore, leaving only the close-fitting cloth. Nangong Biluo went into the water with her trouser legs wrapped. She didn't have a bellyband or anything. She always wrapped her chest cloth when she went out, and she still does it now.The chest cloth only covered the scenery in front of her chest, her arms and clear waist were bare, her body was just a pair of obscene trousers, rolled up to her knees, and her healthy calves were also exposed, bold and fit, anyway, there is no such thing here. people.

The water is so clear that you can see the bottom, and it is fascinating. The female catcher plunged into the water like a fish diving, and the moment she came out of the water, her black hair fell apart. She shook her head and raised her hand to comb the messy hair on her forehead. In the back of his head, he smiled brightly, opened his arms again, and swam in the waves. After being fed up with the salty taste of the sea, the lake is still comfortable and refreshing.

"Smart, graceful like a dragon, looking forward, graceful like a lotus, wild in the mountains, fairy in the lake, free and unrestrained, in front of people."

The sudden sound made Nangong Biluo rise from the water in surprise, like a dragon going out to sea, a wave of water splashed up, and a rainbow fainted under the sun, but it scared the visitor to sit on the ground dumbfounded.

Before he could react, a tall horse stepped in front of him, lowered his head and stared, so frightened that he dared not look away.After a while, the person who was playing in the water just now put on his clothes and walked to the side of the horse, gently stroking the horse's neck.

"Old man, he's just a scholar, don't scare people." Nangong Biluo smiled and comforted the frightening Jing Fan, and then looked at the scholar who was slumped on the ground.Patched green shirt, face like a crown jade, refined and gentle, he is a good-looking talent, but he just stared at her blankly, a little dull. "Brother, are you injured?"

"Uh, no, me, you, this," looking at the woman whose hair was still dripping, the scholar came back to his senses and spoke incoherently, got up from the ground, bowed his back very low, and cupped his hands: " Xiaosheng Qin Zhiyuan, a scholar who went to the capital to participate in the autumn, lost his way here, did not intend to offend the girl, and acted humiliatingly, damn it, damn it! The girl wants to be beaten or killed, so please listen to me."

"It's just an accident. The death is too serious. Don't take it too seriously." Nangong Biluo looked at the terrified scholar with a smile, until he tentatively raised his head, and then said: "You don't have to go too far if you want to go to Beijing, but you are Want to walk into Beijing?"

"No, no, I used to have a donkey, but Fan didn't pay attention and lost it. I came here just looking for it."

Nangong Biluo saw that there were some donkey hairs on his luggage, knew that he was not lying, and was about to speak to help him, but a white dove flew over and landed on Jingfan's head.Nangong Biluo took off the letterbox from the pigeon's leg, opened it, frowned, and then got on the horse.

Jing Fan shook his body, Nangong Biluo pulled the reins, and it raised its front hooves without galloping, and stepped down on the spot. Qin Zhiyuan was shocked by Jing Fan's momentum again, and only listened to the man on the horse saying: "Xiucai, originally wanted to Give you a ride, but you are in a hurry, you go out along this trail, see the road go north, you can see a small town before sunset, then buy a new horse. The mountains are dangerous, it is best Don't stay overnight, this small amount of money is Jing Fan's apology for scaring you, accept it as if we met by chance and make a good relationship. There will be a later date."

Then a piece of silver fell into Qin Zhiyuan's clothes, and he sailed away in shock.

This Qin Zhiyuan is not an idiot, he is in rags and green shirt, and he has no money to buy a horse. This bold woman clearly wants to help him, Qin Zhiyuan took out the silver, and shouted loudly: "Girl, dare to ask Fang's name!"

But all he saw was the gallant and heroic figure with his back facing him and waving his hand farewell on the receding horse.

Nangong Biluo was concerned about the skinning case from Qushui. The letter also said that Lu Sanniang of Yingchunyuan had reported the case with a strange red lantern. After preliminary judgment, it was a lantern made of human skin. Nangong Biluo did not have this incident on the way back to Beijing Take it to heart, but don't think that Qin Zhiyuan will be inextricably linked in her career as a police officer in the future.
