Capture the Jade:

People in the hall heard the commotion and looked around one after another. When they saw the sleeping servants all over the floor, they screamed in fright.

Teng Yuyi shivered as soon as she entered the room, the sun was shining brightly outside, but the quiet room was as cold as the twelfth lunar month.

There are two quiet rooms inside and outside, the tea room outside is empty, and the strong and pungent smell of blood comes from the back room.

Teng Yuyi walked quickly towards the inner room, and felt a strange and familiar aroma mixed with the **** smell as she walked. When she walked to the door of the inner room, a large swath of dazzling bright red hit her eyes, and she saw a young woman lying on the couch. Man, his whole body was soaked in a pool of blood.

Teng Yuyi's mind exploded. This face was still fresh and plump fifteen minutes ago, but now it showed a kind of paleness that a dead person has. The purgatory scene stimulated her heart and soul, and she couldn't help thinking Vomit.

After all, it was a step late. Judging from the situation, Mrs. Rong Anbo has been dead for a while.

She was startled and hated at the same time, and she really wanted to go over to check what happened, but she hated that her legs seemed to be stuck in the ground, and she couldn't even take a step. There was a dead silence in the room, only the sound of her panting breathing could be heard.

But at this moment, Teng Yuyi heard another person's breathing.

The man's breathing was very slow and low, like a beast ready to go, secretly dormant in a corner of the room, if it wasn't for the quiet surroundings, Teng Yuyi might not have noticed it at all.

It is a person, and a living person at that. The hair on her neck stood on end, and she was ready to move when she suddenly saw a short figure standing up from the window, and rushed out.

At the same time, there was a mess of footsteps outside, and Juesheng and Qizhi shouted: "Prince Wang! Prince Wang!"

Teng Yuyi swayed and almost collapsed on the ground: "Quick, the murderer just escaped!"

The next moment, Juesheng and Qizhi ran in, followed by Duanfu. Seeing the miserable condition of Mrs. Rong Anbo, several of them gasped. Duan Fu ran to Teng Yuyi's side. Juesheng and Qizhi rushed to the window and shouted: "Zhuang Mu, where are you running!"

Immediately jumped out.

Teng Yuyi was taken aback, Zhuang Mu? That man is Zhuang Mu? Isn't he in the casino?

Suddenly realized, where did Lin Chengyou go?

She knew the answer soon.

As soon as Juesheng and Qizhi left, a large number of Marquis Wu rushed over, blocked the spice shop, and moved the shop assistants and customers to the next-door wine shop to wait for questioning.

Teng Yuyi was the first to discover the body and was arranged to wait outside the quiet room.

Juesheng and Qizhi returned to the spice shop not long after, looked at the corpse of Mrs. Rong Anbo, and said with hatred: "It's too cruel..."

Teng Yuyi settled down, and when she was about to ask a few questions, there were strange footsteps in the corridor, one was as light as the wind, while the other stumbled, mixed with the sound of tinkling silver chains, heading straight for the quiet room Come.

Juesheng and Qizhi listened attentively, with surprise expressions on their faces: "Shuo Hunzhi? Brother has caught the murderer!"

So fast? Teng Yuyi looked at the door in surprise, and saw Lin Chengyou dragging a person over.

There was a lot of blood on Lin Chengyou's lapel, holding a piece of blood-stained cloth with one hand, and pulling Suohun Zhi with the other.

The man bound by Suo Hun Zhi looked black and thin, and his height only reached Lin Chengyou's shoulders.

Teng Yuyi recognized Zhuang Mu at a glance.

Zhuang Mu was **** and stuffed in his mouth, struggling silently all the way, but he was no match for the heavy restraints on his body.

The faster Lin Chengyou walked, the more embarrassed Zhuang Mu looked. He stumbled along the way and nearly fell down several times. Behind the aisle were a dozen or so Marquis Wu, all of them nervous, as if they were on guard against Zhuang Mu's attack at any time.

Teng Yuyi was solemn for a moment, his chest, waist, and legs were all stained with blood, especially his hands, as if he had just been fished out of a bucket full of blood.

It really is him. Entering the gambling house is just a blindfold. When did Lin Chengyou see through Zhuang Mu's trick?

Lin Chengyou looked at Teng Yuyi as he walked, and seeing that she was unharmed, he said to Marquis Wu behind him: "Seal up all the ten shops adjacent to the spice shop, and the people in the shop are not allowed to leave for the time being."

Marquis Wu was puzzled: "But Shizi, didn't you catch the murderer on the spot?"

"There is one more important thing that has not been found."

Lin Chengyou dragged Zhuang Mu directly to the door of the back room, saw the tragic condition of Mrs. Rong Anbo's son in the room, threw Zhuang Mu to Marquis Wu behind him, and stepped into the back room to inspect the remnants in the pool of blood.

Searching around, Lin Chengyou squatted in front of the couch, compared the fabric in his hand with the corner of Mrs. Shizi's skirt, and determined that it was torn from the skirt.

He was silent for a while, looked at Mrs. Shizi's **** abdomen and asked, "Where is the fetus?"

These words were obviously addressed to Zhuang Mu, the short four words were full of coolness to the bone.

Zhuang Mu leaned against the corner of the outer room with his eyes closed, not intending to answer.

Lin Chengyou came out to Zhuang Mu's side, squatted down, and raised his hand to grab Zhuang Mu's bun.

Zhuang Mu's stagnant expression finally reacted, he slowly opened his eyelids, and looked at Lin Chengyou mockingly.

Teng Yuyi looked at Zhuang Mu coldly, and unexpectedly found that his eyeballs were much lighter in color than others, almost a pale amber color.

Lin Chengyou pulled the silver chain and lifted Zhuang Mu's bound hands high. Zhuang Mu's nails were full of blood and flesh, and his arms were even more shocking. Presumably, the blood had been savage before it dried up. It ran all over his arm, and now dried up in rust-colored gullies.

Lin Chengyou looked down at Zhuang Mu's hands, very good, just like the first two victims, they were dug out with bare hands today.

"Where is the fetus?" Lin Chengyou looked at Zhuang Mu expressionlessly.

His voice was deep and his face was as cold as ice. Most of the people in the room, including Teng Yuyi, had never seen Lin Chengyou's solemn appearance before, and they couldn't help being stunned for a moment.

A certain Marquis of Wu spat at Zhuang Mu: "You outrageous dog, don't hesitate to say it!"

Zhuang Mu silently stared at Lin Chengyou, a meaningful smile slowly appeared on his face.

Lin Chengyou's eyes sharpened, and then he stabilized again, smiled and said: "Don't worry, Tongzhou went to Chang'an, caused chaos in both places, and harmed four lives. Even if you have to explain, how can you explain it in a short time Clear. You can think about what to say first, and I have plenty of ways to make you speak in the prison of Dali Temple."

After hearing this, several cracks finally appeared on Zhuang Mu's originally hard face. He stared at Lin Chengyou, as if he had something to say.

Lin Chengyou said: "Do you have something to tell me?"

Zhuang Mu blinked.

"Let me ask, you answer. If you are right, you nod your head, and if you are wrong, you shake your head."

Zhuang Mu didn't move.

"You want me to take the stuff out of your mouth so you can talk?"

With a sincere expression, Zhuang Mu nodded slowly.

Lin Chengyou sneered: "If you really want to take the thing out, you will immediately bite your tongue and kill yourself. How can I ask questions?"

Lin Chengyou saw through Zhuang Mu's calculations at a glance, his expression became fierce again, a low growl came out of his throat, and he stared at Lin Chengyou.

Lin Chengyou dragged Zhuang Mu up from the ground without saying a word, and said to Marquis Wu beside him, "I caught this criminal when he was fleeing, so the fetus should not hide too far, or hide in the street." Somewhere in the corner, or he has accomplices. After the incident, all the customers in the adjacent shops were detained. You should check them one by one immediately. As long as the thing is hidden on your body, it can’t hide the smell. By the way, leave someone alone At the gate of the West Market, if colleagues from Dali Temple come, bring them here immediately."

The Marquis Wu hurriedly said: "Yes."

Juesheng and Qizhi volunteered: "We also help to find it."

But Lin Chengyou said: "There must be a reason for this thief to steal the fetus. You should search the store inside and out as soon as possible to see if there are any weird talismans or gold seals. I sent a message to Dongming Temple, and several Taoists should come here soon. Dongming Temple is the longest-running gymnasium in Chang'an. There are many Taoist classics hidden in the temple. If there is anything found in the store, maybe they can tell A doorway."

"Okay."

As soon as Juesheng and Qizhi left, there were only a few people left in the room.

Lin Chengyou turned his head to look at Teng Yuyi, seeing that she was still in shock, he took a Qingxin pill from his bosom and handed it to Teng Yuyi: "We'll talk after eating this."

Teng Yuyi nodded and took the pill, and slowly felt the icy coolness on her body subside a lot, then pointed to the corpse in the room, and said in a hoarse voice: "I was the first to find out that Mrs. Rong Anbo's wife had an accident. people."

Suddenly felt two sharp knife-like eyes cast towards him, turned his head to look, and happened to meet Zhuang Mu's cold eyes like poisonous snakes.

Looking around, Lin Chengyou went to one side and tore off a piece of the curtain in front of the couch. When he came back, he covered Zhuang Mu's eyes, broke off the wax block from the candlestick, squeezed it into two **** and stuffed it into his ears. He clapped his hands and got up, and said to Teng Yuyi, "You can say whatever you want, don't be afraid."

Teng Yuyi recalled the situation when the accident happened, and couldn't help shivering.

Lin Chengyou looked at her. In fact, he wanted to ask a lot, such as why she followed Zhuang Mu, and why she suddenly came to the spice shop,

Just now, knowing that something might happen to Mrs. Rong Anbo, was she not afraid when she broke in?

But looking at her like this, she must be frightened. No matter how courageous she is, she is a talented little lady after all. When she suddenly encounters such a tragedy, she will inevitably be shocked. If he keeps questioning her, she will be scared out of bed But it didn't end well.

"If you're really scared, it's okay to talk about it tomorrow. Why don't you go back first, or I'll let Juesheng and Qizhi see you off."

As he said, he picked up Zhuang Mu, turned around and walked towards the inner room. He didn't look carefully enough before, and he planned to search every corner.

Teng Yuyi hurriedly followed Lin Chengyou's pace, she didn't want to leave, as long as she thought that Zhuang Mu should be inextricably linked with the man in black, she felt a strong uneasiness in her heart.

A Zhuang Mu is already so inhumane, but the man in black is still so cruel and terrifying.

When Lin Chengyou caught the thief, she had to tell everything she knew.

"I met Mrs. Rong Anbo on the second floor. She had just come out of the guest room on the right side of the second floor. She was accompanied by five maidservants and two old nuns."

As she spoke, she looked at the back of Lin Chengyou's head. He didn't respond, and she didn't know if he was concentrating on looking for something or didn't have time to listen to her.

Lin Chengyou waited for a while and didn't hear the follow-up, so he turned to look at her: "Go on, I'm listening."

Teng Yu slandered, but you didn't say anything, how did I know you were listening. She hastily explained the whole thing in detail.

"Are you sure you heard the baby cry?"

Teng Yuyi nodded: "Not only I heard it, but the man who took me downstairs also heard it, but I didn't see any lady holding the child in the hall, and when I broke into the quiet room later, I was not in the room. I saw a baby in it."

Lin Chengyou frowned.

"Isn't it weird? When Chen Erniang talked about the case in Tongzhou last time, she also said that someone next door heard the baby crying on the night of the crime."

Lin Chengyou thought for a while and asked, "When you came here, you only smelled blood, and you didn't smell any other weird scents?"

"I didn't pay attention, the situation was too dangerous at that time, even if I smelled it, I wouldn't think about it."

Lin Chengyou looked around: "That's right, this is a spice shop, filled with all kinds of strange fragrances. After staying in the shop for a long time, even if you smell strange fragrances, you won't be surprised. I think those servants will be untouched." Unprepared and stunned, this is indispensable. The murderer will release the scent before each attack, and the spice shop is indeed a good place for him to attack."

Teng Yuyi thought about it and said: "What the prince means is that the murderer planned this time in advance, not on a whim?"

"At least the escape route must be planned in advance. The west market is full of cars and horses, and the murderer can freely sneak into the crowd, kill people to get the fetus, escape through the window, and disappear in the store as a matter of course. If the planning is good enough, it is enough It's done in one go."

"But Shizi caught the thief on the spot." Teng Yuyi was already curious, "When did Shizi find out that he slipped out of the gambling house?"

Lin Chengyou leaned out to check the traces outside the window, and said in his mouth: "Yumigui's business is very good, Zhuang Mu, a blacksmith in a pig iron company, how could he not do the work in the shop and go to the gambling house to play, you Those subordinates only guard the front door and the back door, but they don't know that there are several secret doors in the gambling house. The old fritters who have been around for a long time know this. I found out the direction of the secret passage, and took three Wuhous to guard a secret door each. It's a pity that Marquis Wu didn't know how to defend against magic, so they were wounded. When I got the news, Zhuang Mu had already fled. Fortunately, I left a medicine powder around the secret passage, otherwise I wouldn't be able to chase all the way to the back alley of the spice shop. Come, unfortunately it is still a step late."

After finishing the call, Lin Chengyou didn't hear Teng Yuyi's answer, so he turned to look at her and asked, "What's wrong?"

Teng Yuyi stared at the window, her voice tensed: "When I broke in, the murderer was still in the room."

The murderer is in the room? Lin Chengyou's complexion changed slightly: "Why didn't you say that just now?"

Teng Yuyi thought for a while: "I thought Juesheng and Qizhi told you."

She told the story.

Lin Chengyou sneered: "Teng Yuyi, you are really courageous. With your three-legged skills, you are not afraid that the murderer will give you by the way—"

He swallowed the rest of the words.

"Actually, I don't want to stay, but Xiao Yajian refuses to let me go, and the warning is much hotter than usual. If I refuse to stay, he might burn me to death. I can't do anything .Let’s talk about—"

Lin Chengyou waited for her to continue, but Teng Yuyi stopped.

Lin Chengyou glanced at her sweaty hair, and added in his heart: Besides, these are two lives after all, you have compassion.

Teng Yuyi spoke again: "If I knew the murderer was in the room, I wouldn't come in even if I was killed."

Lin Chengyou snorted, don't be stubborn about Teng Yuyi. You can tell when you think about it, the reason may be as she said, because of Xiaoya's obstruction, but she has already sent someone to send a message to Juesheng Qizhi, and then just wait at the door, and it turned out Because she was eager to save people, she still had to bite the bullet and broke in. As long as they came a little later, she would probably be attacked by the murderer in the room.

But at that time, no one with a heart of compassion could sit idly by. Teng Yuyi had also used a sword to confront evil spirits like Shixie before, and it was not unusual for him to muster up the courage to break in in order to save people.

The woman in the room was pregnant, and the murderer only killed people in a flash. Go in early, maybe you can save two lives. If you don't go in, you can only watch the mother and child being killed. No choice.

He coughed: "Don't think that after learning a little kung fu, you can be independent. Juesheng and Qizhi have been studying for so many years, and they are just two idiots. You have just started the Tao, so be careful and lose your life in a muddle. The next time you encounter this kind of thing, think of a way to send a letter, and run as far as you can. Even if you are present, you can’t stop demons and murderers from harming people. Hey, don’t mention your divine sword, if he It really works, and you don’t have to be scared to death every time.”

The Xiaoya sword in the sleeve was burning instantly, as if he was very unconvinced, Teng Yuyi patted the blade, don't be like this, Lin Chengyou's words are not completely unreasonable, you are really good at times.

Xiaoya wished he could come out on the spot and argue with Teng Yuyi, who am I? The owner of the dishes is obviously you, the little master.

"Your Majesty is right." Teng Yuyi didn't allow Xiaoya to criticize her, "No matter what the old man does next time, I will not act on my own. Majesty, where did you catch Zhuang Mu?"

But Lin Chengyou asked Teng Yuyi: "What was he doing in the room when you came in?"

He pointed to Zhuang Mu at his feet.

Teng Yuyi looked at Zhuang Mu with a hesitant expression.

Lin Chengyou's expression changed: "What's wrong?"

Teng Yuyi carefully recalled the previous scene: "It was too dark in the room at that time, he ran too fast, I didn't see his face clearly, I only knew that the murderer was hiding under the window, and escaped as soon as he saw me. Son, what was the thief's condition when you caught him?"

"Hands and arms were covered with blood, and he was holding a piece of fabric torn from the skirt of Mrs. Rong Anbo, as if it was used to wrap the fetus, but it was strange that there was no newly stolen fetus inside. Moreover, I blocked him in the alley behind the spice shop, he should have just escaped from the room, and the fetus was supposed to be in the alley, but I searched all the way, but there was no trace of the fetus." Lin Chengyou's eyes were full of suspicion .

Teng Yuyi said coldly: "You let me think about it carefully, I always feel that the person I saw in the room is a bit different from the Zhuang Mu in front of me."

Lin Chengyou was startled for a moment, nodded and said, "No hurry, just think about it slowly."

At this time, someone came from outside: "Your Majesty, Yan Sizhi and Wu Zuo from Dali Temple are here, and they brought a lot of servants. By the way, there are also two old priests."

I heard someone say sarcastically: "Pindao has only been clean for a few days, and he was dragged here again by that little devil. The weather is so good today, and Pindao still wants to go outing with the female nun of Xianyun Nuguan Hey, hey, you lightly pull, if you trip the old man, can you afford it?"

Before the words were finished, Juesheng and Qizhi ran in first: "My lord, we have already finished our questioning, but the young ladies in Mozhai opposite were so frightened that they dared not get in the car and go home."
