A Clash of Gods Chapter 4: Inference

Ximen Zhanying is obviously still in awe of the princes. Although he was a little reluctant, he walked back to the table. Qi Ning smiled and said, "Tassel girl, this can work for you."

Ximen Zhanying couldn't help but say: "You are not allowed to call me like this."

The Ximen prince coughed, and the Ximen warfare could only stand aside with his hands down, but the pretty face seemed to be covered with frost.

"Yingying girl, if you really don't want to, actually...you don't have to force yourself." Qi Ning sighed, "If I drink with Shenhou, if you look cold, this... ..!" Shaking his head bitterly.

Ximen Zhanying knew that Qi Ning was deliberately adding fuel to the fire. He wished to hack him to death with a knife, but he was stared at by the priest of Simon, and he could only say: "Despite the alcohol, I only wait by the side, no It will disturb your mood." Glancing at the Simon prince, it was obvious that even the Simon prince was blamed by her.

Qining picked up the glass and said, "Shenhou, I am invited by today, I would like to give you a drink first!"

Simon Hou said with a smile: "It seems that Xiao Hou and Ling Zun are so happy to drink." Toasting, he glanced at Ximen Zhanying and motioned Ximen Zhanying to pour wine.

Ximen Zhanying hugged the wine jar and poured wine to the two expressionlessly. Qi Ning smiled and said, "The girl's kung fu is really good, just fine."

Ximen Zhanying gave Qi Ning a fierce glance, but he dared not say anything in front of the Simon priest.

"It is said that Hou Ye saw the murderer that night." Ximen Shen Hou Jiacai said: "Hou Ye still remembers his appearance?"

Qing Ning knew that the prince was talking about a blood-sucking murderer, and shook his head: "The prince misunderstood, I did see the murderer, but I couldn’t see clearly his appearance. He was covered in black. The big cloak, covering the body, and wearing a mask on his face, looks very scary, that is to deliberately cover up the true face."

"If you commit such a big case, you will certainly not show people in their true colors." God Hou nodded slightly. "Did that Hou Ye have heard him speak? Remember his voice?"

Qining shook his head: "He didn't speak from beginning to end, just... Um, I remember he seemed to scream twice, the sound was very strange, just like the beast's roar."

"So what Hou Ye sees is a murderer wearing a big cloak face and a mask." Shenhou said: "Xiao Hou, can you tell whether he is a man or a woman?"

"Ah?" Qi Ning stunned, wondering: "Does the prince think he will be a woman?"

The priest looked serious and said: "Before the evidence is clear, all hypothetical judgments must be taken into account. If the murderer is unexpectedly a woman, and we have determined from the beginning that it is a man, then when we are looking for clues , Just go the opposite way, going farther and farther."

Qining thought that Jiang was still old and spicy, nodded and said: "Shenhou said very much, but judging from the sound he made that night, it should not be a woman."

Ximen Zhanying snorted beside him, and Qi Ning smiled: "Does the girl have any insight?"

Ximen warned: "Hao Jinyi, IMHO, you haven’t traced the case, maybe you have seen too little. Sometimes you speak like a man, but you can’t conclude that it’s a man. Those eunuchs in the palace, talk The voices are very sharp, like a woman, do you dare to say that the eunuchs in the palace are all women?"

Qing Ning smiled and said: "Tassel girl, as you mean, I would like to ask, is the **** in the palace a man or a woman?"

Simen was stunned, and his cheeks turned red, turning his head away, ignoring him.

"Yehou Hou don't know her as much as she does." Shenhou smiled: "The mother of this girl went early, so I also indulged a little, and I was spoiled on weekdays. I don't know if the sky is thick. You don't care."

Qing Ning waved his hand and said in a daunting way: "The tassel girl is young, I don't know anything about her, the gods don't need to worry."

"You...!" Xi Menzhan raised his brow, showing a look of anger.

"Shenhou, why do you say that man wanted to kill and **** blood?" Qi Ning did not wait for the Ximen war to break out, and he looked at Ximen without traces. "I saw the corpse, most of the blood in the body was sucked away, one How can the human stomach withstand so much blood?"

Shenhou said: "In fact, this kind of thing is not strange."

"Not strange?" Qi Ning said horrifiedly: "Did the prince ever see anyone sucking blood?"

Shenhou said: "Do not hide from you, I haven't seen it with my own eyes before, but...there are rumors on rivers and lakes."

"Dad, what is the rumor? Why have you never talked to me?" Simon Zhan asked immediately.

"This is not a good thing, why should I tell you?" The prince glanced at Ximen Zhanying before saying: "Many years ago, I heard people say that there are some rivers and lakes scum, practicing some very strange kung fu, that They are all evil tricks on the sidelines, and they are not suitable for the elegant hall, and they are all despised by the people of the rivers and lakes. But from the heart, those demon evil tricks, if they really want to practice successfully, are powerful and very powerful."

"Shenhou said that the murderer sucked blood to practice?" Qi Ning frowned.

The priest explained: "Cultivation of evil skills can be opportunistic and tricky, so that some martial arts can make their martial arts advance by leaps and bounds. For example, some rivers and lakes use yin and yang to cultivate evil skills, and some use highly toxic substances to improve Skills, sucking people and practicing blood, are not rare, but they are not there." After a pause, I said: "As far as I know, there was a blood-handed devil more than 70 years ago, making waves on the rivers and lakes, killing no one. Fortunately, his method of practicing is to take blood."

Ximen Zhanying's face was pale and horrified: "Dad, this time the murderer, will it be related to the blood-handed devil?"

"Tassel Girl, the blood-handed devil is a character seventy years ago. Where can I live to the present?" Qi Ning laughed and said: "Unless he has become an immortal devil."

"Why is that impossible?" Simon Zhanying sneered.

"Even if he can really live for a hundred years, he can't live now." Qi Ning said: "Such a demon, do you think he can be let go on the rivers and lakes? God, if I am not wrong, then The blood-handed devil must have died long ago. Otherwise, if the guy didn’t die, it would have been more than seventy years, then the martial arts must be invincible in the world, and someone could kill him?"

Shenhou said with a smile: "Little Lord Hou said well, the blood-handed demon has been rampant on the rivers and lakes for a few years, and he was killed by the encirclement and suppression. It has long since ceased to exist."

"Does he have no apprentices?" Ximen Zhanying is still not reconciled, "Dad, maybe the wrongdoing in Beijing today is the apprentice of the devil."

Shenhou shook his head and said: "That would not be the case, the devil is arrogant and arrogant, and I have not heard of an apprentice. If it does, it is impossible to hide in rivers and lakes for more than 70 years before suddenly appearing." Frowning, said: "If the murderer is really blood-sucking and practicing, then he must be captured as soon as possible, otherwise he will be given time to fear that there will be more trouble."

Qining hesitated and finally said: "Holy prince, I think the identity of the murderer may be extraordinary."

"Oh?" Shenhou said: "Why did Xiaohou say this?"

"I saw that person's figure, unlike ordinary people, it was a bit majestic." Qi Ning frowned: "He was standing on the roof at the time, the big cloak fluttered, and looked at me from the top, that momentum... Let’s put it this way, I was looking at him at that time, as if I saw a general reviewing his soldiers, I don’t know why I felt that way, but...the feeling was very strong at that time, so I think The murderer is by no means ordinary."

Shenhou slightly nodded and said: "Xiao Cang also told me that Xiao Hou had provided clues to that person that night." Wei Yi pondered, and said: "A person's temperament cannot be possessed overnight. , But accumulated over the years, and after having such a temperament, it is difficult to cover up between raising your hand."

"There is still a very strange problem." Qi Ning said: "Shenhou, you said that if the murderer just wanted to practice evil magic, why did he choose to commit crimes in Beijing? Everyone knows that Beijing is my great In the heart of Chu, masters are like clouds, and the guards are stern, and it is where the princely palace is located. This person is murderous and blood-sucking, and it is impossible for him to be unnoticed. It is not difficult to kill some blood and practice some evil gate kung fu, and go to some remote places to kill people and take blood. It must be strange in the capital."

Ximen Zhanying was originally a little disgusted, but when he heard this, he frowned, saying: "Dad, he... he said it’s not unreasonable, the murderer couldn’t have known it once. If you commit such a case, you will be stared at by the court, but why should he do it?"

Shenhou looked at Qi Ning and asked, "What is your opinion, Lord Xiaohou?"

Qing Ning said: "I also thought about it. The most likely thing is that the man...can't leave Beijing at all, or his identity is doomed to leave Beijing for a long time."

"Oh?" Shenhou said with interest: "Little Hou, your speculation makes a lot of sense."

"Why can't he leave Beijing for a long time?" Ximen Zhanying looked at Qi Ning and asked.

Qining took the wine glass and drank it, then looked at the wine altar. Ximen Zhanying was originally full of curiosity. After being so irritated by Qining, he could only hold it. Pour the wine jar.

Qing Ning said: "Thinking girl, think about yourself, what kind of people can't leave Beijing? And once they leave for a long time, will it cause doubt?"

Ximen Zhanying frowned, but did not answer.

"In my opinion, that person should be the one to be watched, at least most people are familiar with him." Qi Ning slowly said: "He can't go anywhere like a businessman or a wanderer. It will attract the attention of others. The reason why such a person cannot leave Beijing is because he still has a duty in Beijing. Once he leaves, even if it is not known by most people, it will be at least noticed by those around him~IndoMTL.com ~Even suspicious because of this."

The **** stared at Qi Ning, his expression was solemn, and his eyes became radiant.

"So I think about it, plus some clues I know so far, the vampire murderer is likely to be an official of the court." Qi Ningzheng said: "And this person may even be a general." Suddenly, only said: "There is another extremely critical clue."

"What clue?" Simon Zhan could not help but ask.

"I said just now that the person cannot leave the capital for a long time, but it does not mean that he cannot leave for a few days." Qi Ning said: "Many officials in Beijing leave for a few days, but they are not too noticeable, but only for time. If it grows long, people will be suspicious. If the murderer is only for blood-sucking exercises, then he can occasionally spend two or three days away from Beijing, and he will not be particularly noticeable, but why is he risking being pursued by the court? Want to commit crimes in Jingli?"

Ximen Zhanying was obviously attracted by Qi Ning’s analysis and asked, "Why?"

"Because the murderer may not even be able to control the time." Qi Ning said one by one: "He kills blood and cannot design according to his own time, but needs it at any time, he can't control it."
