Before Qi Hongju, seven women, including Gu Qiunuan, Duan Rouqing, and You Jujian, were insulted and killed. After these women, another female arrester named Xie Hongdian was assassinated. Although she was not insulted, according to the female arrester According to the investigation of the case, it is very likely that the murder was committed by the same person.Except for Qi Hongju, Qi Qi has never met other women before. When she heard such a name for the first time, she felt that they should be poetic and heroic beauties... But she actually heard about it under such circumstances The names!The uncontrollable anger made her grit her teeth, Qi Qi had never felt so angry even when she learned that Ji Yaohua disguised herself as a gentle woman to plot against their group.

"Hua Niang, I'm leaving the capital, please prepare the horse." She said as calmly as possible.

"But, Qi Qi, Shi Shi will be on stage in five days, what happened in the pavilion these few days..." Meng Huaqiu frowned and advised.

"Prepare your horses, please."

The three words were uttered very calmly, but also very coldly.This girl who obeyed Meng Huaqiu in almost everything has stood up now. Her angry face was not obvious, and her tone was not very severe. Meng Huaqiu knew that with her personality, no matter how many times she refuted, Will tolerate it, but no matter how many times she retorts it won't work.

"The day Shishi takes the stage is the day when the rich and nobles of the capital gather, you must be there on time, so as not to give people a sense of contempt." Meng Huaqiu instructed.

"I will solve this matter as soon as possible." Qi Qi agreed, "I heard that Zhui Ming also made a move. I think this matter will not be too difficult."

Although Zhuyuexuan can't be compared with those big commercial houses now, the financial resources and contacts in Xuanzhong are quite considerable. It didn't take long for Meng Huaqiu to find a good horse for Qi Qi that travels hundreds of miles a day.Although the pursuit of his life was not a big fanfare, there was absolutely no intention to hide it. Through the ordinary information dealers in the rivers and lakes, Qi Qi bought his whereabouts for only five taels of silver.

She found out that Zhui Ming is now in the East Castle, and she remembered that when she left the North City last time, the old Castle Master Huang enthusiastically patted her on the shoulder and invited her to visit the East Castle when she had time. For something like this!

And Sister Qi... Sister Qi... Her eyes are already red.

She and Zhuiming arrived almost in tandem. When she was waiting for investigation at the gate of Dongbao, she could still see Zhuiming's back. She immediately called out "Brother Zhuiming", and let the famous arrester of Shenhou Mansion It saved her the cumbersome investigation procedures.

"How could you...you heard about it?" Zhui Ming was a little confused about seeing Qi Qi here at first, but when he remembered that Qi Qi and Wuqing had investigated the case of Mogu together, he reacted, and his eyes immediately Showing sadness and sympathy, "Nv Xia Qi, like Nv Zhang Xie, was assassinated and was not tortured by the thief."

This comforting effect is really limited.

"Brother Zhui Ming, don't worry about me." Qi Qi said, "I won't act impulsively, and I won't get into a dead end." She looked at Zhui Ming, letting him see that her eyes were not clouded by hatred, "Let's work together Find out the truth."

Zhui Ming sighed softly, then nodded.

On the way to the place where Huang Tianxing met, Zhuiming and Qi Qi explained the details of the case. As she knew, the first seven of the nine women killed were insulted, killed, and robbed of their wealth. The killing of Xie Nvzhu is a dividing line. The female family members of some forces in the martial arts unite to fight against this thief. Qi Hongju was killed when she went to Qingtianzhai to meet Wu Caiyun, but she was not robbed.

"The purpose of killing Xie Nv was to protect myself, but what was the purpose of killing Sister Qi?" Qi Qi frowned and pondered, "Is it for demonstration? By the way, where is the sword maid next to Sister Qi?"

"Qi Hongju was delayed by something before going, so she asked them to go to Nanzhai to apologize and express her sincerity for participating in the alliance, and then she went on the road alone." Zhui Ming sighed again, "If there are four maidservants...how can it be like this? "

"Brother Zhuming, you just said that the previous seven people were all ransacked... Are they all rich families?"

Zhui Ming nodded.

Qi Qi frowned.

"If you have any thoughts, you might as well say it." Zhui Ming said, "Eldest brother once said that you were the first to discover the disguise of Mogu, which shows your ability."

Qi Qi was a little encouraged by these words, she pondered for a moment and then asked, "Are all those servants ignorant?"

"From the scene, except for the victim's personal maid, no one has noticed the change...until those people started to loot this part."

Hearing Zhui Ming's answer, Qi Qi let out a long breath and opened his mouth to say something, but found that they had already arrived at their destination.

No matter how majestic the "Feiyun Hall" is, it can't hide the depressed mood of the people in the hall.When Zhui Ming and Qi Qi arrived, all the people invited here hadn't arrived yet. When Huang Tianxing saw Zhui Ming, he couldn't help standing up to greet him. When he saw Qi Qi, he was even more excited, "Zui Ming Headhunter, Miss Qi, I didn't expect you to come together."

Kuang Wuji beside him also showed a joyful expression.They have been to the battle of the devil with Qi Qi, so they naturally know how strong this seemingly harmless girl is in martial arts. Her arrival gave them a lot of confidence.

After meeting the host, Qi Qi met the guests who had arrived one by one, all of them were big figures, Zhou Baiyu and Bai Xinru, the city lord and wife of Beicheng, she had met before, and the others were Xizhen couple Lan Yuanshan and Huo Yinxian, Nanzhai couple Yin Chengfeng and Wu Caiyun.

There were still tears on Wu Caiyun's face. She had also heard about the battle of the devils. After seeing Qi Qi, she couldn't help but think of Qi Hongju again. Tears welled up again, and she cried: "It's all my fault, if it wasn't for me Please go to Nanzhai first, sister Qi, how could she be killed?"

There was originally a competition between Yin Chengfeng and Lan Yuanshan, but Qi Hongju's murder near Nanzhai made him worry about Wu Caiyun's safety, so after discussing with Lan Yuanshan, he postponed the competition and stood by Wu Caiyun's side in person.Lan Yuanshan's promise made him feel grateful, so at this time Nanzhai and Xizhen were very close at the banquet, and Lan Yuanshan also helped Yin Chengfeng persuade Wu Caiyun.

In contrast, the relationship between Zhou Baiyu, Lan Yuanshan and his wife in Beicheng seems quite weird... Qi Qi is not very familiar with the complex emotions between men and women, and suspects that it is related to the murder case, so he secretly casts his inquiring eyes on Zhui Ming, the famous arrester who almost answered her questions at this moment actually showed a little embarrassed expression, turned his head to the side to talk to Huang Tianxing, pretending that he didn't see Qi Qi's gaze.

Afterwards, the other people who were invited also arrived one after another. The six-door master Ao Jintie, the down-and-out scholar Xi Jiuyu, the noble son Jiang Shouyu, the leader of the beggar gang Situ Bu, and the hero Yuan Wuwu did not enter through the door, but hid on the eaves until Jumping down after being discovered by the life chaser can be regarded as a little bit of limelight.

The female relatives Xi Caisang, Liang Hongshi, Jiang Aitian and others related to them also walked in from the door in a well-behaved manner, and after a few greetings, they took their seats one by one.

Qi Qi looked at this group of people, a man and a woman, and felt a strange feeling in his heart. He only felt that the two brothers and sisters Jiang Shouyu and Jiang Aitian were very incompatible among these two groups of people... It was like two geese falling into a gray poop. Like a fluttering chicken coop.Although money does not represent everything, people who were born well and those who were born poor do often have significant differences in temperament, which is one of the reasons why a person can be judged on the basis of "albeit poor but aristocratic".Compared with Xi Caisang and others, Jiang Aitian's body is obviously noble, and her neck is much fairer than other women.

One of the ideas that she didn't have time to share with Zhui Ming was about the murderer's motives, because the act of insulting a woman is too hateful, so others subconsciously ignore the matter of "robbing money". "Desire" is more inspiring to prisoners, and this "desire" may not be purely sexual/desire, but a desire to vent resentment... Of course, there may be other purposes, but if it is to vent resentment, consider It is unlikely that someone will become enemies with these victims at the same time. It is more likely to be a kind of overall resentment against certain people with certain characteristics.

What these victims have in common... and most obviously, is wealth.

If her guess is correct, combined with another idea of ​​hers... Before Qi Qi could reach a complete conclusion, he heard Liang Hongshi who had just arrived shouted word by word: "It's her!"

"Huo Yinxian—Ms. Lan—had Xie Hongdian at the entrance of Weng's house. Taking advantage of her unpreparedness, he stabbed Xie Hongdian to death with her sword in her hand!"

This accusation came unexpectedly, and everyone looked at Huo Yinxian for a moment.

Huo Yinxian herself didn't react immediately, her complexion gradually turned pale, her lips trembled, and she finally managed to utter three words: "I'm not."
