Northern Song Dynasty: The City of Qingquan Mystery Case

Xiangquan moved so fast that he jumped from the roof of the shed into the bushes at the back.

Qianqing immediately turned over the shed carefully.This was the dark wood he must pass through on his way home.

As soon as Qianqing's feet landed, he saw Xiangquan standing upright not far away, panting heavily.He just looked into the dark depths of the woods.

"Ran."

Sweat dripped from Xiang Quan's forehead, he turned his head and said to Gan Qing: "Go and call the guards, I'll look for them again, move fast! My dart hit his right arm, he was injured, if you don't chase him, it will be too late!"

He shook his head and sighed, then looked at Qianqing carefully, only to see bloodstains on his face and hands, so he asked in surprise, "Are you injured?"

Qian Qing shook his head, hurriedly took out a white silk to wipe off the bloodstains.But he saw that Xiangquan's white sleeve was stained red, and his left hand was dripping with blood, that is, the hand that was scratched by Chuuxue, and there was another clear scar on it.

It is the scar left by the sword.Without further ado, Ganqing threw the silk to him, and Xiangquan immediately caught it and wrapped it tightly, and the silk was dyed red again.

Gan Qing wanted to stop talking, but couldn't move, but felt a coolness on his face.He raised his head, and a thunderbolt streaked across the sky, and with a rumbling sound, there was even a drizzle of rain in the sky.

The clear sky just now turned out to be a harbinger of a storm.

Qianqing took Mrs. Xu's dagger away, raised his eyes and said, "Go to Mr. Shangxing to see the injury, and I'll call for someone."

"No, let's go later. It is estimated that the heavy rain is coming, and many traces will disappear. Let's take a look around first."

"Have you ever seen footprints?"

"I haven't seen it yet. It's too dark around. You can ask someone to search it later. Don't forget to bring your lamp. But... I'm afraid it's too late."

Blood stained the silk.Seeing that Xiangquan's injury was not healed, Ganqing groped around for the silk again, and found a green embroidered handkerchief that looked like green bamboo. The embroidery was excellent, and the embroidered green bamboo seemed to have a dark fragrance hidden in it.

Qianqing threw it to Xiangquan and asked, "What's wrong with Chuuxue?"

Xiang Quan took the embroidered handkerchief, glanced at it, frowned, and didn't care about wrapping it.

"Chuixue fainted on the side of the road, and there was this thing in his mouth and nose," said Xiang Quan, taking out a piece of green and yellow leaf-wrapped thing from his bosom, "I don't know much about what this medicinal powder is. I will go to the medical center and show it to Mr. Shangxing."

Ganqing took it over, it was a bag of white powder with a wafting aroma, he took a look at it and quickly wrapped it up.Afraid of getting wet, but also afraid of releasing smell.

"The medicine is placed next to Fuxue so that the cat can smell it all the time. I guess it can sleep longer this way. Fortunately, I pushed it and it woke up." Supported by one hand, Xiang Quan flipped up the roof at once, and he Crouching down, frowning: "Look at this."

Qianqing also turned up.The dimly lit lights flickered in the drizzle, and the street lights themselves had weather-shielding panels, but the cold wind blew in, as if they were about to go out.

"what is this?"

A cloud of white powder was clearly visible under the lamp, similar to the powder just now.The wind blows, raising a burst of fragrance.

Xiangquan remained silent, turned around and said, "I saw the man on the roof, touching the street lamp with his hand..."

Xiang Quan was taken aback: "Why, did he touch the lamp?"

"As soon as he touched it, your dart went through. Wait, how did your dart come out of the fan?"

Xiang Quan cleaned up the metal fan casually, while he himself just stared at the powder carefully, then carefully wrapped them in leaves and put them in his arms.

Ganqing took the fan, it was heavy, and the cold light was everywhere.The entire fan was polished extremely brightly, shaped like waves in the sea, engraved with waves, and the fan blades were so thick that they couldn't be opened no matter how clean they were.He glanced at Xiangquan begging for help, but Xiangquan ignored him and took the stiff fan back.

"Your fan is weird and interesting, do you have a name? How about I exchange this dagger with you?" Qianqing took out the gold-plated dagger in his left sleeve, the scabbard was inlaid with tiny rubies, carved with flowing clouds, extremely delicate , but a few inches.Qianqing said proudly: "Mrs. Xu's dagger is said to be Jing Ke's assassination of Qin 'seeking to see the poor dagger', which is what it refers to. Should I change it or not?"

Xiang Quan didn't raise his head, didn't answer his question, but said quickly: "The moment I was about to jump up to the roof of the shed, I saw that he seemed to be carrying a small burden and spread it on the ground, and the contents inside couldn't be seen clearly. I immediately sent a dart. , I vaguely saw him rolling up the burden... I thought he would never be able to hide. But he swung quickly, blocked the dart with his right arm, and blood gushed out all at once."

"He was injured too? How could he escape—"

Xiang Quan nodded: "He reacted very quickly and pulled out the sword around his waist with one hand. Although he was masked, his back was always facing me, so I raised my fan and threw him a dart."

Qian Qing asked in surprise, "The second dart missed?"

"Missed. The dart was extremely fast, but he didn't even need to turn around to block it with his sword. It's clear, look over there."

There seemed to be a glimmer of light not far away.Qian Qing was surprised and said: "That is..."

"It was my first dart. After he hit the dart, he immediately pulled it out from his body and quickly threw it back to me. I sent the dart because of a mechanism, but he was human, but the force was definitely no less than that of a fan." The speed was astonishingly fast, I almost didn't dodge it, but luckily I just got hit on the back of my hand, and after that...he ran away."

Ganqing didn't speak, stepped forward to look at the small dart, it was soaked in blood, it can be seen how deep it was inserted, it might be completely submerged into the flesh.

In such a short period of time, this man pulled the dart stuck in his arm out of his flesh, and threw it back quickly and accurately. The whole action was still on the premise of not turning around.

Such speed, strength, accuracy and tenacity...

Ganqing was covered in cold sweat, clenched his sleeves and asked nervously: "Xiangquan...you didn't see his face, so is he wearing a blue and black shirt?"

Xiangquan was silent for a moment, looking at the dark woods in the distance.They stretched out in the dark night with a determined attitude, and the leaves were all dyed in the night, like clouds of black mist.He turned his head and looked at the dark street lightly, his eyes were also dark, and he muttered to himself in an almost inaudible voice.

"On the willows on the bright moon, I can only see blue shadows floating, but I can't see people, nor are they demons. When the sun rises, the clouds will disperse and smoke will disappear."

Hearing this, Qianqing's blood surged up, and his head "buzzed"!

"Yi Xiangquan, don't scare people!"

Xiangquan laughed again, looking at the dryness, with a hint of sarcasm hanging from the corner of his mouth: "The man on the top of the shed, dressed in blue and black clothes, is fast in skill and action, his figure is as hard to catch as a shadow, and he is good at using incense... ...now you know who it is."

It was completely silent.

"This thief is interesting." Xiang Quan smiled.He jumped off the roof of the shed, his hands were still dripping blood, so he pulled his skirt to cover his palms, tore off the blood-stained green handkerchief and threw it to Qianqing: "It looks like it was given by the girl. He gave it to you It's really not the behavior of a gentleman to treat her embroidered handkerchief like this."

Qianqing took it easily, threw it back to him, and said angrily: "I don't remember who gave it to you, you should keep it wrapped up, and I'll give it to you, it's all good, I don't want it!"

Xiangquan didn't want to listen to his ramblings, and turned around to go to the clinic.Qian Qing stopped him.

"Why, why did the Tsing Yi Bandit appear today?"

"do not know."

"You said, will the rhinoceros be stolen tomorrow?"

Xiang Quan turned around with a solemn expression: "[-] real and fake products mixed together, three hours, nearly a hundred guards. How to steal?"

After finishing speaking, he turned and left.The white figure disappeared into the dark night like a ghost.
