"What's going on?"
Seeing Xu Ning in a hurry, Tao Qingping also came over.
"Lord Tao..."
The city guard also saluted Tao Qing in parallel, and then explained, "there was a homicide in our lane, which may involve the magic gate."
"The murder involving the demon gate?"
Tao Qingping was also surprised.
Tao Qingping was also very clear about the murder case of demons in Lushui lane a few days ago.
"Let's go and have a look."
Tao Qingping also ignored the fatigue after driving.
There is no trivial matter that involves the devil's gate.
Tao Qingping locked the door, and the three hurried to the scene.
"Where did the murder happen?"
While walking, Xu Ning asked.
"It happened in fengrou leather shop."
Chengwei replied truthfully.
"Fengrou leather shop?!"
At this time, Tao Qingping widened his eyes and looked surprised.
"Yes, Lord Tao."
Chengwei doesn't know why Tao Qingping reacted so much.
Seeing this, Xu Ning suddenly realized something: "Qingping... Is this leather goods shop..."
"Yes."
Tao Qingping was stunned for a moment, then nodded: "it's the place where Nie Xiaowei married."
"Nie Xiaowei is the girl..."
Tao Qingping added.
"What happened to the case, you know?"
Tao Qingping asked the city guard.
Cheng Wei shook his head: "my Lord, my subordinates don't know. Just after learning that fengrou leather shop was involved in the murder of the demon gate, Lord Feng asked me to come to you directly."
"I see..."
Xu Ning nodded gently and urged, "speed up your steps."
Fengrou leather goods shop is not far away, and the three people's footsteps are also fast. Before long, they arrived at the place.
At this time, the fengrou leather goods shop has been completely surrounded by the city guard.
Pedestrians who stopped to watch were also driven away by the city guard.
"My Lord."
As soon as Xu Ning stepped into the shop, he saw Feng Sigua coming up.
"What exactly happened?"
Before Xu Ning spoke, Tao Qingping took the lead in asking.
Feng Sigua glanced at them and said, "Sir, let's go to the scene on the third floor first."
"OK."
Tao Qingping looked very urgent.
Xu Ning also knew that he was thinking about the girl named Nie Xiaowei.
Under the leadership of Feng Sigua, the three reached the third floor.
In this process, Xu Ning also observed the environment of fengrou leather shop.
On the first and second floors, there are all kinds of leather goods, which are processed finished products.
The leather goods on the first floor are general, but the quantity is large. The leather goods on the second floor are relatively better, but the quantity is less.
On the third floor, it is no longer a business place, but a place to live.
"These are people who stayed in the shop after the crime."
Just on the third floor, Xu Ning saw nearly ten people squatting together at the corner of the stairs, including men and women.
Look at their clothes. They are either shop assistants or servants and servant girls serving people.
Feng Sigua explained the situation: "the murder took place in that room."
He pointed in the direction.
Then the three entered the room.
As soon as he walked in, Xu Ning saw two bodies lying on the ground.
They are all men, at least in their fifties. They are not well dressed and are half naked.
There was a deep scratch on the chest of both bodies, which looked fatal.
When Tao Qingping saw the two dead, he was relieved: "these are the only two dead?"
"Yes, Lord Tao."
Feng Sigua answered.
"Do you know your identity?"
Xu Ning glanced at Feng Sigua.
"One is Yao Dage, the shopkeeper of fengrou leather goods shop, and the other is Zeng Weiming, the shopkeeper of Runyu medicine shop. They are friends for many years."
Feng Sigua obviously did his homework in a short time and answered Xu Ning's questions smoothly.
"According to my interrogation of those guys and servants before you came, I probably know these things..."
Before Xu Ning asked, Feng Sigua took the initiative to say, "last night, shopkeeper Yao of the leather goods shop and shopkeeper Zeng of the medicine shop drank together in Runfeng restaurant. After drinking, shopkeeper Yao didn't go back to his residence, but took shopkeeper Zeng directly to the leather goods shop."
"Shopkeeper Yao of this fur shop often doesn't go home and lives on the third floor of this fur shop because he doesn't have a harmonious relationship with his wife."
"After coming here, shopkeeper Yao sent a servant to call his new concubine Nie from home..."
Speaking of this, Feng Sigua paused.
Tao Qingping's face was a little ugly.
Xu Ning also frowned: "continue to say..."
"According to the clerk in the shop, the concubine Nie was very reluctant or very resistant to sharing a room with them. But then shopkeeper Yao fought against him, dragged him into the house and told the servants not to disturb them on the third floor."
Feng Sigua then said, "the people got the order from their shopkeeper, so they obediently didn't bother them. Until the afternoon, the guys in the store didn't see shopkeeper Yao coming downstairs. They felt wrong, so they came to check. He called outside the door for a long time, but they didn't respond. When he opened the door, they saw this look."
"Dirty!"
As soon as Feng Sigua's voice fell, Tao Qingping punched the door frame. His face was blue and seemed to be venting his anger.
"What about the concubine Nie..."
Xu Ning can still keep calm.
"It's gone."
Feng Sigua said.
"So..."
Xu Ning's eyes narrowed slightly: "this concubine Nie has the greatest suspicion?"
"Yes, my Lord."
Feng Sigua nodded: "this Nie, I've sent someone to find it, but so far there's no news..."
"You say this case involves the devil gate. What's the matter?"
Xu Ning asked another key question.
"My lord..."
Feng Sigua asked Wuzuo to open the wound on their chest.
Xu Ning leaned forward and took a look.
The hearts of the two men had been completely crushed, as if they had been squeezed.
"The murderer cut their chest and squeezed out their blood..."
Feng Sigua explained.
After hearing this, Xu Ning immediately understood.
Although it is not completely certain that it is the means of the devil gate, it is inevitable to be suspected of being possessed by the devil gate.
One of the most popular techniques in the magic sect is to practice with heart and blood.
When it comes to similar cases, they are solved according to the crime path of the demon gate.
It's better to spend more energy than to pass carelessly.
"So, do you mean that Nie Xiaowei is a member of the magic door?"
Tao Qingping's voice was a little chilly.
Asked Tao Qingping, Feng Sigua was a little surprised.
He didn't expect Tao Qingping to know the name of Nie's concubine.
"The probability is."
Feng Sigua has made a general judgment based on past experience and current facts.
After all, he has spent ten years in Chengwei, and he still has some experience in this regard.
"In other words, the only thing to do now is to catch Nie Xiaowei."
Xu Ning also knows the next key steps.
"Sir, do you want to send someone to inform the other guards of the post? If Nie Xiaowei is a master of magic door martial arts, we city guards can't arrest him even if we find his trace."
Feng Sigua asked.
"Go, call all the people in our post and act separately."
Xu Ning said: "and... You report it again and say that you hope to let the colleagues of other lane guard posts help search and arrest together."
Because there were local demons in Lushui lane before, Xu Ning always had a string in his heart.
If Nie Xiaowei is really a martial artist of the demon sect, then the source of their magic skills may be consistent.
If they can really pull out a demon sect organization behind them, it will be a big event.
The emergence of this kind of local demons in batches is much more threatening than the seven line gate associated with Dayuan firm.
"I see, my Lord."
Feng Sigua takes orders.
"By the way, has Nie Xiaowei's family sent someone to visit?"
Xu Ning asked again.
"I've sent someone to inquire about the news, but there's no news yet."
Feng Sigua said.
"I see..."
Xu Ning glanced at depressed Tao Qingping: "Qingping, let's go to Nie Xiaowei's mother's house to see her family and her childhood sweetheart..."
Tao Qingping smelled the speech and said, "OK."
Although he has feelings for Nie Xiaowei, now that Nie Xiaowei is suspected of being a demon warrior, he can still distinguish between right and wrong.
Just from the bottom of his heart, Tao Qingping still doesn't want to believe that the girl who looks thin and clean will be such an identity.
