diseased bone

Chu Shao glanced at him, Zhou Lan was originally white, but when the man pinched his chin just now, the red mark was still on the chin, and it didn't fade away.

He lowered his eyes, and crushed the boss's entire wrist bone mercilessly with his hands.

Boss Yu didn't even cry out in pain, rolled his eyes and passed out.

Zhou Lanmu finally combed his hair here, and he slowly put away the white jade comb he carried with him, and said to the old bustard: "Mother, I'll ask you a few questions, and if you answer them carefully, I won't kill you—— I have always been a good person and never killed innocent people indiscriminately."

The old bustard couldn't move except his mouth, so he hurriedly replied after hearing the words: "Yes, yes, yes, sir, the old lady must tell the truth!"

Chu Shao kicked Boss Yu, who was under his feet, and walked towards the two of them: "You know this Yu very well? Has he always been in this business?"

The old bustard said: "Yes, this... This Yu is a small boss of the underground black market in Shichuan. He has been hooking up with Mr. Chen from the Zhaozui Division for many years. The two often recruit young girls and sell them to us. ...But old lady, I really haven't done any bad things. If the brothel next to me meets someone with a strong temper, they will be tortured to death. If I meet someone with a strong temper, I really don't want to..."

"Just resell it to another place?" Zhou Lanmu said with a smile, seeing the old bustard not answering, he asked again, "Don't mention this in advance, let me ask you, the Chunlai inn where Shichuan's accident happened , are you familiar with it?"

"I don't know you well," the old bustard replied, "I don't know. There are many people in the rivers and lakes of Shichuan. The brothels frequented by the government and those frequented by the people in the rivers and lakes are determined not to mix. But I have heard a few words. Gossip, Chunlai Inn has been open for many years, it is the most vicious family in our area, it dares to sell anyone who comes from it, and it is said that there have been several deaths..."

She looked at the expressions of the two of them, and hurriedly added: "Yes, yes, this Chunlai Inn has been wiped out so clean, it must be that the people who have been tortured before have come back to seek revenge! Except for the son of Zhongyang and the daughter-in-law. Yes, thirteen members of his family died, all of whom were in charge—I heard that all the young men in his family were let go, this must be seeking revenge!"

Zhou Lanmu and Chu Shao looked at each other, and asked softly, "Thirteen members of his family died...how did you know?"

The old bustard was stunned, and then replied: "...It's Mr. Chen, the Secretary of Zhaosin, ah no, it's that Chen Ping, he told me. He is a frequent visitor to our place and often gossips."

"So that's how it is," Zhou Lanmu nodded, and pulled out a needle in her neck. The bustard suddenly felt numb in her lips, and couldn't even speak, "Then the lady will stay here for a while After one night, after one night, the medicinal properties will naturally disappear."

He turned his head to look, Chu Shao understood, picked up Boss Yu who didn't know whether he was alive or dead, and jumped onto the eaves with him nimbly.

The old bustard stared, only the words of the two could be heard in the cold night wind——

"Why do I still carry it this time? Your qinggong is obviously better than mine!"

"...The material of the sack is too rough, it is allergic, and it has no strength."

After Chen Ping sent these two people away, he always felt that something was wrong. He recalled the "brother" who had a cinnabar mole under his eyes. He was restless and could not sleep in the middle of the night. He paced back and forth in the room, thinking After the event, he decided to go out to find the girl he was in love with.

It's just that before he reached the gate of his house, he felt a pain in his forehead - someone threw a stone on his head.Before Chen Ping could react, a person fell in front of him, and it was Boss Yu who had bid farewell to him not long ago.Boss Yu was fine just now, but now half of his body is covered in blood, and he doesn't know whether he is dead or alive.

He heard someone whistle above his head.

Looking up, I saw that "brother" who had just received a large sum of money and sold it, was sitting on the eaves and looking at him. Under the night, he smiled wantonly and a little arrogantly. ruffian.

He almost thought he was sleepwalking, trembling with fright, subconsciously turned around and wanted to run, but just as he turned around, a dagger stabbed deeply into his abdomen.

When the severe pain swept over him, he heard the beautiful and cold voice of the person in front of him, "My lord, I'm here to return the gift."

Zhao Zui's morgue is located in the outskirts of the city, and there are a lot of ice cubes piled up. It is already winter, but the first time you walk into this place, it becomes a bit colder.

Chu Shao saw that Zhou Lanmu was shivering from the cold, but he didn't have any warm clothes at hand, so he could only remind him in an awkward tone: "It's cold in this room, is it okay for Heng Shu?"

Zhou Lanmu looked back at him and said with a smile, "It's okay."

He was still dragging Chen Ping by his hand, and the wound on Chen Ping's abdomen had already been bandaged briefly. Although blood was still oozing out faintly, it was not enough to cause death—he was careful when he struck just now, and did not stab the vital point.

After all, this person might know something else, so it's not easy to silence him directly.

There were only fifteen corpses in the morgue of Zhao Sin Division—the ones left after the accident at the Chunlai Inn. Chen Ping knew that someone would come to investigate, so he cleared out the other corpses in advance.

The two of them came here once before, and took a quick look, but they didn't look carefully, and didn't see anything.

Chu Shao squatted down in front of the corpse closest to him, stretched out his hand and pressed it a few times, and said "tsk": "I remember that King Ping once told you not to care about Chunlai Inn. It's really interesting. Just now the old bustard said this. It's seeking revenge, could it be that King Ping really came to seek revenge?"

However, Zhou Lanmu went straight to Wei Qiange's corpse at the farthest back, bowed and looked at it carefully: "Well, King Ping even told me not to care about Chunlai Inn—to be honest, I don't have the time to care about it. I want to know how Wei Qiange died."

He raised his eyes and beckoned, beckoning Chu Shao to go over: "When I came to see you yesterday afternoon, Wu Zuo said that although the body has not experienced the specific time of death, Wei Qiange died earlier than this group of people, and the cause of death is also different. no the same……"

Chu Shao rubbed his chin and thought about it: "You mean...the reason why the people sent by King Ping didn't let you interfere with the matter of Chunlai Inn is because they and Wei Qiange's death are two cases at all?"

Zhou Lanmu took out a piece of handkerchief from nowhere, and slightly supported Wei Qiange's head: "Fortunately, it's winter, if it's summer, the corpse would have rotted before it was put into the ice cellar of the morgue——Yuan Jia , look at the knife edge."

Chu Shao leaned over to look, but didn't see why: "What's wrong with the cut?"

Zhou Lanmu took a deep look at him: "You really didn't see it?"

Chu Shao was at a loss: "No."

Zhou Lanmu sighed, put down his hand, and said, "This is... the wound of the Yinxue knife."

He got up slowly, walked towards the woman's body beside Wei Qiange, and said as he walked, "The Yinxue knife is very fast, the wound is shallow, but it is precise and fatal. The knife on Wei Qiange's neck...is not from the big inner parrot Wei. Master, you can't kill anyone."

Chu Shao was startled, and took another look: "I, I used to... I went to the Changming Hall where the parrot guards were trained, but I didn't see this. How do you know?"

Zhou Lanmu was startled, then smiled helplessly and said, "Did Yuan Jia forget why you and I first met? I fought against two parrot guards and got injured, so I naturally understand better."

He paused, and while checking the woman's mouth and nose through the veil, he changed the subject and said, "By the way, when will the person sent by Zhongyang Wei to welcome Wei Qiange's body back to Shichuan?"

Chu Shao thought about it: "They left later than us, but it must have been these few days."

"Let's go back to Zhongyang with them," Zhou Lanmu touched his finger, and replied casually, "Wei Shuqing won't go crazy and kill people on the way to send the soul—ah!"

Chu Shao was taken aback by him: "What's wrong with you?"

Zhou Lanmu carefully looked at the woman's fingertips. Her index finger was stained with blood, and there was a small wound.He turned his eyes, turned to Chu Shao and said, "Yuan Jia, wake up that Chen."

Chu Shao didn't know why, but still obediently, took a handful of crushed ice from his hand, and roughly slapped Chen Ping on the face.

Chen Ping collapsed on the ground, struggled a few times, and finally woke up from the stimulation of those ice slags. After waking up, he first saw Chu Shao standing in front of him, and subconsciously said, "Save...save..."

"Stop shouting, no one will come to save you," Chu Shao carried him, dragged him to Zhou Lanmu's feet, and said with a smile, "Master Chen, you are really happy and happy in Death River."

Zhou Lanmu couldn't help but look down at Chen Ping at his feet, and said gently, "Your Majesty Chen, you are polite. I am the servant of the Fourth Court of Dianxing Temple who came here to investigate the case of Chunlai Inn."

After he finished speaking, he added: "It's newly sealed."

Chen Ping was startled suddenly, the pain and fear made him break out in a cold sweat in an instant: "Master...Master..."

"When the female corpse was found, what other things were around?" Zhou Lanmu didn't bother to talk nonsense with him, and asked directly, "For example, handkerchiefs, clothes corners and so on."

Chen Ping didn't dare not answer, and it took a long time to raise his hand slightly, pointing to the innermost cabinet in the morgue, and said inarticulately: "It's all here...all there..."

Chu Shao walked over him to the cabinet next to the wall, using the light to see the serial number on it, he searched carefully for a while, and finally found the woman's things.

The woman's body was wearing a pink dress, and there were only things found from her in the cabinet.Zhou Lanmu leaned over to take a look. Apart from the jewelry she hadn't taken off, what was found was a brand, a white shirt corner, and a box of half-sprinkled face powder.

Zhou Lanmu sniffed it, and praised: "This incense powder is the best winter plum powder in Zhongyang Baoque Pavilion. It is said that only fifty boxes are made every year, and the supply exceeds demand, which attracts Zhongyang women flocking to it."

As he spoke, he picked up the corner of the clothes, as expected, there were a few crooked characters on the corner of the clothes, which must have been written by the woman biting her fingers in a hurry.

Chu Shao leaned over to look, frowned and said: "Qin Lang...help me?"
