When Shi Ling led the cavalry to Mumu Alley, Qin Xiao's yard had been surrounded from the front and back.

Mumu Lane is a relatively remote street in Turtle City. It has never been really lively for many years. The shops on the street are not doing well. After all, the number of pedestrians coming and going is far less than that of the shops along the Yudai River.

At dawn today, the years of peace in Mumu Lane were broken.

Not everyone who lives in the alley knows what's going on.

Chen Laizi, who lives in the alley, usually idles around and sleeps until three o'clock in the morning every day. But today he was awakened by the sound of horse hooves. He came out wearing a coat and saw a group of people crowding in front of Qin Xiao's residence from a distance. He couldn't help but join in.

past.

"Skinny Jin, what happened?" Seeing that Skinny Jin at the coffin shop was also watching the fun, Chen Laizi walked over and asked.

"Someone died." Jin Shouzi and his father run a coffin shop. The father and son have little contact with people. After all, the business they do is not popular with others. The father and son have very similar personalities. They are both taciturn and their faces are invisible all year round.

smile.

"Who is dead?" Jin Shouzi was surprised: "Qin Xiao is dead?"

After all, they are neighbors. Although Qin Xiao does not have too many interactions with the residents of Mumu Lane, they are still quite familiar with each other.

"What nonsense?" Someone nearby couldn't help but said: "Qin Xiao is not in the house. Several strangers died. I don't know where they came from."

"Stranger?" Chen Cripple looked confused: "Why did the stranger die in Qin Xiao's house?"

The man said: "Who knows, maybe someone came to his house to steal something. I heard someone said that Qin Xiao won a large sum of money in a gambling house. These people must be eyeing Qin Xiao's money."

"Did Qin Xiao kill them?" Chen Laizi asked.

"No, it's a female ghost." Slender Jin suddenly said.

"Female ghost?" Chen Laizi was surprised: "How do you know? Did you see it?"

Slender Jin pointed toward the courtyard without saying anything.

The courtyard door was open. Although there were people guarding the door, you could still see the scene in the courtyard from outside. Chen Laizi saw a general in armor standing in the courtyard.

Standing in front of the general, he seemed to be saying something.

Shi Ling's face was very grim at this time.

Wang Big Face has been making sesame seed cakes in Mumu Alley for many years. He is a simple and honest man who always grins when he looks at people. Many people think that Wang Big Face is a little stupid, but what he says is definitely not a lie.

There were two corpses lying in the yard. Both were dressed in black clothes and had their mouths and noses covered. One of them was holding a knife in his hand, while the knife in the other corpse's hand was flying far away.

"Female ghost." Wang Dalian gestured: "Floating around, snap, if your hand touches your neck, you will die."

"Why did you see it?" Song Chuang, a subordinate next to Shi Ling, asked, "You said you saw a female ghost floating around?"

Wang Daliang nodded vigorously: "There was a noise in the house, I heard the noise, looked outside, crackling, and then they...!" Pointing to the two corpses on the ground: "They ran out of the house, the female ghost

Then they floated out of the house, and then they died."

"What does the female ghost you are talking about look like?" Shi Ling asked with a frown.

Wang Dalian raised his hands to cover his eyes: "I don't dare to look, I don't dare to look. The female ghost wants to eat people, so I don't dare to look. When the person died, I was afraid that she would eat me, so I ran back and hid in the house. I didn't dare to look.

come out."

"Is the owner of this house Qin Xiao?"

"Yes." Wang Dalian nodded and said: "Qin Xiao, good boy, eat the sesame cakes I made and give me a lot of money."

"Did you see him last night?" Shi Ling continued to ask.

Wang Dalian shook his head and said: "No, I didn't see him." He thought of something and showed a look of horror: "Qin Xiao was eaten by a female ghost."

"Take him down." Shi Ling waved his hand, and someone took Wang Dalian down. Wang Dalian kept chattering to himself: "There is a female ghost, be careful, she is a cannibal."

Shi Ling entered the room. There were two corpses in the room. He squatted down next to a corpse. Song Chuang followed him and whispered: "Commander, from the looks of these corpses, they are all struck by one blow."

Fatal, that jailer named Qin Xiao does not have such skills."

"The murderer is a master of the Zhongtian realm." Shi Ling said calmly: "His skills are extremely impressive."

Song Chuang was surprised: "Zhongtian realm? Isn't that the same as adults?"

"I can't catch up with her." Shi Ling's eyes were like daggers: "I just broke through to the fourth level. This murderer is at least the fifth level."

"Is there such a master around Qin Xiao?" Song Chuang was even more horrified.

Shi Ling didn't say much, stood up, walked around the house, and then walked out. Song Chuang said: "Commander, we have sent people to seal off both sides of Mu Mu Lane. Are you going to search every house in Mu Mu Lane for the murderer and Qin?"

Xiao may be hiding in Mumu Alley."

"If you were Qin Xiao and there were Zhongtian realm masters around you, would you still stay in Mu Mu Lane?" Shi Ling said lightly: "The crime scene is in Mu Mu Lane. Qin Xiao would naturally think that the Hou Mansion would send someone here, and he would never do it.

Stay here."

At this time, a person came up and cupped his hands and said: "Commander, it is said that Qin Xiao was causing trouble in a gambling house before, and there was a master beside him, who happened to be a woman. That woman was so skilled that more than ten people in the gambling house were vulnerable to her hands.

Afterwards, Qin Xiao and the woman left together. If nothing else, the murderer last night should be that woman."

Shi Ling frowned, was silent for a moment, and then said: "Find the people from the gambling house and ask them to describe the appearance of the woman. Find a painter to draw it, and Qin Xiao, and then post it on the street of Guicheng Street.

Lane, tell everyone that if you find any trace of these two people, report them immediately. Once captured, you will be heavily rewarded. If you hide them and don't report them, you are a traitor."

The man agreed and retreated.

Shi Ling walked out of the yard, surrounded by the neighbors in Mumu Lane. He stood on the street, looked around, and landed on the oil shop diagonally opposite the door.

In the oil shop, Mapo was curled up on an old armchair.

Early in the morning, the dawn shines on the streets, but it is still very dark inside the oil shop.

Shi Ling walked slowly to the door of the oil shop and stared at Mapo in the armchair. The old woman was dozing and seemed to have not slept well. She didn't realize that anyone was staring at her at all. She only waited for Shi Ling to walk into the oil shop and cough.

With a sound, Mapo was awakened and said in an old and hoarse voice: "There is vegetable oil, butter, sesame oil, what do you want?"

Shi Ling said nothing and looked around. On the left was the counter. Because he turned his head for too long, the counter was covered with a layer of grease. There were pots and jars on it, and the room was filled with a greasy smell.

On the right is a room with the door open.

Shi Ling looked around and heard Mapo say again: "Vegetable oil, butter, sesame oil, what do you want?"

Shi Ling ignored him and turned around and walked out the door.

Behind the door, Qin Xiao held a fish intestine thorn in his hand, his eyes were like knives. The moment Shi Ling entered the door, he held the fish intestine thorn tightly. If Shi Ling really didn't open his eyes and walked into the room, it would be a matter of whether he could get out alive.

There was a question mark. The young aunt's soft body was close to Qin Xiao's back, but she looked relaxed and did not appear panicked because of the tense atmosphere outside.

The door was open, and Shi Ling could not have thought that there was someone hiding behind the door.

After Shi Ling went out, Qin Xiao tiptoed back to the bed and put his eyes close to the gap. He could clearly see the scene on the street.

I saw Shi Ling giving a few instructions, then quickly got on his horse and left with his men. Not long after, several corpses were also carried out, thrown on the backs of two horses, and were taken away. Another person heard that

He said loudly to the people in Mumu Lane: "Listen carefully, if anyone sees Qin Xiao or knows Qin Xiao's whereabouts, report it to the Marquis Mansion immediately. The Marquis will be generously rewarded. Anyone who hides Qin Xiao or even shields him

Qin Xiao is his accomplice. Qin Xiao is a traitor by plotting against the imperial court. If you are his accomplice, you will have your head chopped off. Have you heard this?"

People agreed a few times scatteredly, and soon they all dispersed, and the street returned to its usual calm.

Qin Xiao took a deep breath and felt the soft body of the little aunt pressing on his back. At this time, he had no intention of enjoying the comfort brought by the little aunt. He twisted his body and whispered: "You are too heavy.

, crushed me to death."

The young aunt rolled her eyes and said angrily: "A master of Sword Valley, it's really embarrassing to hide here with a little bastard like you like a thief. If you want to go out and beat them to pieces according to my temper, I think

I can just leave, can they still stop me?"

"You are powerful." Qin Xiao said: "But you can defeat ten, twenty, or even a hundred, but you can defeat three to five hundred? There are people from the Zhen family in the city, and you are just one

A master in the Zhongtian Realm really thinks he is invincible." He muttered, "If you hadn't gone out to gamble and came back early in the morning, and happened to bump into those assassins, you wouldn't have caused such a big fuss."

The young aunt's pretty face sank, and she said: "You little bastard, you really don't know the heart of a good person. Those assassins want to kill you, but I helped you deal with them, and you still talk so much nonsense."

"I knew something was wrong before I even entered the courtyard, so I have been hiding here." Qin Xiao also said angrily: "You are a master of Zhongtian Realm. Before you entered the courtyard, you didn't notice anything was wrong inside?"

The young aunt said angrily: "Little bastard, do you still have a conscience? Why didn't I notice? It's just that I'm worried that you will be killed by them, so I always go in to help you collect your body. Although you have good intentions, you still have to be nagging you, a bastard."

Swinging his sleeves: "From now on, I'm done with you. Don't implicate me if anything happens to me. I'm an innocent person, but now I've been implicated by you and become a murderer. It's okay if you don't apologize.

Dare you blame me?" The more he thought about it, the angrier he became, and he stretched out his hand and said, "Pay for it!"

At this moment, he saw Mapo walking into the room, hunched over, and her seemingly cloudy eyes were staring at the two of them coldly.

The young aunt glanced at Hongye and went over to sit down on the chair. Qin Xiao stepped forward and whispered: "Everyone has left."

"There is an ambush near Mumu Lane. We won't leave so easily." Hongye's voice was sometimes crisp and sometimes old, with a hoarse tone at this time: "The wolf riding into the city will not let it go, at least until I catch you. This matter will not go well.

.”

"Zhenhou Mansion is really fast." Qin Xiao sneered: "Wolf Cavalry was transferred into the city so quickly."

Hongye said coldly: "His son almost died in your hands. Do you think he can spare you? You either don't take action. Now that you have taken action, don't let him live. This is the trouble you left behind. If the assassination fails, what will happen instead?"
