The tenth chapter, the cross is dim and the demons come out, the chaos in the world finally opens seventeen
The previous document mentioned that after settling the two sisters, Xiong Xiaoguang was worried that something would happen again tomorrow when the Dongzhou mission came to visit, so he asked the Tang Dynasty for help. The Tang Dynasty had no choice but to agree and would protect the Dongzhou mission when they arrived at the post house tomorrow. Second
Early in the morning, the Dongzhou mission landed, and Xiong Xiaoguang escorted them all the way, only to find that
It was safe and sound along the way, and the corpse craftsman did not come out to cause trouble. Although I don't know why, but fortunately he was able to do the job. At night, when the Dongzhou mission was unprepared, the corpse craftsman sneaked into the post house and killed the killer. Only then did he lead out,
Xiong Xiaoguang is in danger and is ordered to find the real culprit, while Li Minghao finds another way to find the end.
"Really, I never thought that when I got here, I could come from the other side." Xiong Xiaoguang now has a headache. An hour ago, he received a call from Liumen, Chang Qing, Liu Gang and the others. He also received calls on the way.
I got a call from the palace and told him to come into the palace after he finished investigating the scene.
The last time he entered the palace was when he was a few years old. When he entered the palace after such a long time, he had forgotten how to navigate the palace.
Following Lao Wang to the scene, Xiong Xiaoguang frowned as soon as he stepped into the house, and after standing for a minute, he backed out.
Liu Gang turned his head and saw the expression on Xiong Xiaoguang's face. He guessed something, smiled slightly, walked out and handed Xiong Xiaoguang a cigarette: "You, go buy a pack of cigarettes when you have time. Don't come here every day to smoke my cigarettes. You have to pay them back."
In this case, I won’t come to the scene with you next time.”
"Okay, I will definitely buy a pack of cigarettes when I go out, but I'm just afraid that the old man will beat me up if he sees it. After all, he explicitly forbids me from smoking." Xiong Xiaoguang smiled and took the cigarette handed over by Liu Gang, took out a lighter and lit it.
"You already have a lighter, and you're here to smoke my cigarette. To be honest, in your position, you rarely come into contact with the scene, but you can't rule out the possibility, like now, it's better to be prepared. I'll go in first, and you
Let's just go in." After Liu Gang finished speaking, he walked into the house, squatted next to the corpse and examined it carefully. When he saw the familiar bite marks on the corpse's neck, he frowned.
Xiong Xiaoguang couldn't stand the cigarette, so he took two puffs and threw it to the ground and stamped it out. After coughing twice, he walked into the house, squatted down next to Liu Gang, glanced at the body and asked, "Look at the body."
There are no obvious wounds, do you need to open it and take a look?"
Liu Gang shook his head and turned the corpse's head to one side, revealing the bite marks on the neck: "No need, I probably know who did it."
"I really never expected it. I originally thought that this guy would do it on the road. Who knew he would choose to do it in the middle of the night? He really thought clearly. I was basically sleepy in the middle of the night.
"If something really happened, I wouldn't be able to react for a while." When Xiong Xiaoguang saw that familiar bite mark, his heart was racing. He now hated this corpse maker. If he couldn't kill him with his own hands in this life, he would
Xiong Xiaoguang is a useless person.
"I have some business to go to the palace. In a moment, you will interrogate everyone in this post house to see if you can dig out some other clues. In addition, notify the troops outside the city and ask them to help seal the city. Even
No flies are allowed to fly out of the Forbidden City!" Xiong Xiaoguang stood up, took off his rubber gloves, threw them aside, and left the house angrily.
Liu Gang shook his head, sighed and said, "Young people are indeed too young." Then he stood up and directed others to move all the bodies out of the house. Next, he and Lao Wang would conduct an inspection of the house.
A detailed survey, hoping to find something valuable.
After going out, Xiong Xiaoguang glanced at the imperial city not far away, sighed and slowly walked towards the palace alone.
Not long after, Xiong Xiaoguang arrived in front of the imperial city gate, where Chang Qing had been waiting for him for a long time.
Chang Qingsheng is so handsome and has long hair. If you don't look carefully, you would really think that she is a girl. He is wearing black clothes. If there were not lights around, Xiong Xiaoguang would be
Only a vague outline could be seen in the darkness.
He was a little curious, why do people like to wear Aokake Soap? What's so good about this outfit?
After seeing Chang Qing, Xiong Xiaoguang stopped and said with a smile: "I didn't expect that your dignified Miss Chang would be able to welcome me here. I'm afraid no one else would have received this treatment, right? I, Xiong Xiaoguang, am afraid there is smoke coming out of the ancestral grave."
"
"Look at what you said, you are unfamiliar, aren't you? As your only friend in the palace, I was afraid that you would get lost in the palace and end up somewhere you shouldn't be, so I came out specially to pick you up to meet the eldest master. How about that?
, is our family’s sincerity acceptable?”
"Okay, okay. Now, can Miss Chang take me into the palace? I'm in a hurry."
"Okay." Chang Qing nodded slightly, turned around and led the way.
Xiong Xiaoguang smacked his lips and followed Chang Qing.
Not to mention, if it weren't for Chang Qing, he really didn't know where his headless fly would have hit. Over the past ten years, although not much has changed, the memory is slowly fading. Sure enough,
I still have to come and take a look around when I have nothing to do.
In this way, the two people wandered around in the imperial city, and finally came to a small room. The candlelight flickered in the small room, and it seemed that there were candles burning inside.
Xiong Xiaoguang raised his head and took a look at the room. There was no plaque hanging on it. It seemed that this was at most a place where servants of the palace lived. He was confused, why would Chang Qing bring him to such a place? This old man shouldn't be
Waiting for him in a palace like the Palace of Heavenly Purity or the Hall of Supreme Harmony, he wouldn't be able to come to such a place. Is it possible that Chang Qing wants to attack him?
Thinking like this, Xiong Xiaoguang became vigilant, and slowly reached into his pocket to hold the small dagger he carried with him.
Xiong Xiaoguang's movements were naturally caught by Chang Qing. He also guessed the doubts in Xiong Xiaoguang's heart and said with a smile: "Xiaoguang, don't think so much. You and I have been brothers for many years. How could I harm you? Just let us know."
You will know everything once you enter the house and take a look." As he said that, Chang Qing opened the door of the hut and made an invitation gesture to him.
Xiong Xiaoguang nodded. Anyway, we have come here and we have to walk through mountains and seas of fire, so it doesn't matter.
He let go of the small dagger and took it out of his pocket. After sorting his clothes a little, he stepped into the house.
After Xiong Xiaoguang walked into the house, Chang Qing, who was standing at the door, closed the door and stood guard in front of it.
The decoration of this house is relatively simple. The walls are made of bricks and there is no cement putty. There is only one table and two chairs. There is a candle lamp on the table. After Xiong Xiaoguang came in, the candle light flickered.
It almost went out, but someone on the side protected the candle.
The person protecting the candle is an old man with white hair. The old man has a slicked back hair, a pair of black-rimmed glasses, a loose nightgown, and a cheap cigarette in his hand. At this time
The cigarette was half gone, and the old man always had a smile on his face.
After seeing Xiong Xiaoguang come in, the old man waved to him: "Come on, come on, sit next to me."
Xiong Xiaoguang responded and sat down on another chair obediently.
He changed his previous ungrateful appearance and sat upright. You must know that the person sitting next to him now is the old man from Middle-earth. If he still looked like before, he would have made this old man unhappy. Xiong Xiaoguang's good life
His head also got bigger.
The old man turned to look at him and smiled: "Xiaoguang, I haven't seen you for a long time. You have grown so big. I still remember that when your grandfather brought you into the palace, you were only this tall." As he said this, the old man stretched out his arms.
He made a gesture with his hand.
Xiong Xiaoguang smiled slightly: "Thanks to my godfather for caring about me, if it weren't for my godfather, Xiaoguang wouldn't have grown up."
The old man waved his hand: "You are just like your grandfather Wan Shan. Apart from being humble, you are also telling lies. I don't like to hear it."
"Since my godfather doesn't like to hear it, Xiaoguang will tell his godfather everything he knows from now on and will never deceive him." Xiong Xiaoguang panicked and said quickly, his hands starting to tremble now.
At this time, the cigarette in the old man's hand had been burned to the end. After throwing the cigarette on the ground and stamping it out, the old man took out a box of cigarettes from the pocket of his nightgown, took out two cigarettes, and handed one to Xiong Xiaoguang.
.
"Recently, they just say that I'm not in good health and don't let me smoke. I have no choice but to have someone secretly buy cigarettes to smoke. This is not very good. You just have to smoke." The old man said, holding it in his mouth.
He went to the candle and lit the cigarette.
"Grandpa, actually I don't smoke much, I just light up a cigarette once in a while when I'm on the scene." Xiong Xiaoguang smiled, and he also went to the candle and lit a cigarette.
After taking two puffs, Xiong Xiaoguang unexpectedly found that this cigarette was a little different from other cigarettes, not so harsh on the throat.
The old man took a puff of cigarette: "Actually, over the years, I have heard a lot of truth and lies. I know who is telling the truth and lies, but I am just too lazy to expose it. Xiaoguang, you should know Dongzhou
Will there be any consequences for us if something unexpected happens to the mission here?"
Xiong Xiaoguang nodded: "I know, the lightest consequence is that Dongzhou asks us for people, and there will definitely be some cracks in the relationship. The most serious consequence is that Dongzhou will launch attacks on us on the pretext that we don't pay attention to the safety of the mission.
war."
"It's good that you know. I think you should also know what to do, right?" The old man took a puff of cigarette, raised his head and squinted at the night sky outside the window.
"I know, solve the case within the stipulated time limit and give an explanation. In addition, there must be someone to blame for this matter. After all, it is not a trivial matter." Xiong Xiaoguang looked at the rapidly burning cigarette in his hand and frowned.
The old man turned to look at him: "Shen Wanshan's ability is not bad. I believe your ability is not too bad. You only have seven days. After seven days, if you haven't found out, we both know the consequences."
"Yes." Xiong Xiaoguang's hands trembled crazily. He failed to hold the cigarette in his hand and accidentally dropped it to the ground. Xiong Xiaoguang swallowed, moved his feet and stamped out the cigarette.
"Okay, I have nothing more to say, you can go." The old man looked at Xiong Xiaoguang and sighed.
"Yes." Xiong Xiaoguang stood up, bowed deeply to the old man, then turned around, opened the door and left.
After Xiong Xiaoguang left, the old man shook his head, put out the cigarette butts, blew out the candles, got up and walked slowly outside, stood with his hands behind his hands, looked up at the bright moon in the sky, and fell into deep thought.
On the way, a gust of night wind blew by, and Xiong Xiaoguang realized that he had been sweating just now. Thinking about the atmosphere of the conversation just now, Xiong Xiaoguang still feels lingering fear.
"What's wrong with you? Why haven't you been feeling well since you came out? Your hands are still shaking. Could it be that you went in and smoked a cigarette and got Parkinson's disease?" Chang Qing saw Xiong Xiaoguang's abnormality and couldn't help but ask.
Xiong Xiaoguang took a few deep breaths and forced himself to calm down: "It's nothing. I was sweating all over just now. It was a bit cold when I came out and was blown by the wind."
"That's it. Then you go back and drink some hot water to warm yourself up. This case is not easy, so don't exhaust yourself." Chang Qing said with concern.
Xiong Xiaoguang glanced at Chang Qing: "It would be great if you were not reborn in the wrong child, so I would marry you directly."
Chang Qing's face changed: "Director Xiong, I have something to say. Don't drag it to other places. Just follow the road under your feet and you will get out of the imperial city. We won't see you off."
He tossed his sleeves, turned around and left angrily.
"Tch, just joking, why are you angry? This person is really weird." Xiong Xiaoguang shook his head and walked straight to the city gate. But don't say anything, after chatting for a few words, the feeling just now was really gone.
And it's clean.
After walking for about ten minutes, Xiong Xiaoguang walked out of the imperial city. He breathed a sigh of relief, turned around and looked at the high wall, thinking that if there was something wrong, he would never want to come in once in his life. It was too scary.
But what followed was another problem. Where to find the corpse craftsman now? After committing the crime, this guy would definitely not just wait for them to catch him in the Forbidden City. He might have run away long ago.
Xiong Xiaoguang looked up to the sky and sighed: "Brother-in-law, it would be great if you were here, I really don't know what to do..."
"Sneeze." Li Minghao rubbed his nose. He didn't catch a cold before, so why did he catch a cold?
Liu Zhida came over with a cup of hot water and placed it in front of Li Minghao: "Okay, Minghao, don't just look at the files. If that doomsday organization could be seen from the files, the people from the college and the association would have caught it long ago.
Okay. Also, drink more hot water. It’s been cold recently, so don’t get sick again, otherwise we may not be able to finish our work."
"Okay." Li Minghao nodded, put down the case file in his hand, held the quilt in both hands and took a sip, then immediately put down the quilt and stuck out his tongue. "It's so hot. Is this just boiled water?"
"Ah, yes, I just opened it." Liu Zhida looked at the thermos in his hand and smiled.
"You're really good." Li Minghao sighed and sat back in his seat. "I took a look at the files they gave me before. The incidents in recent years have been gradually increasing. I don't see any patterns in the places or people where they happened.
, but I found that in those big events, there are always clubs involved, so I suspect that this doomsday may be hidden in the form of a club. If you want to find them, you must first join a club."
"Isn't it appropriate? We are the specialists of the special office, and the fiery people are staring at us every day. How can we get out?" Liu Zhida frowned and asked.
Chapter completed!
