Chapter 94: Chapter 94: Murder

Chapter 94: Chapter 94: MurderXu Qian'an, who had gotten up early, had just arrived at the back hall when he heard Xu Lingyin's noisy voice.

A bright red pimple appeared on her smooth, white face, which hurt when pressed.

Her aunt lied to her, saying that there were bugs on her face, and the bugs were eating her flesh. She would be disfigured tomorrow and would not be able to get married in the future.

Xu Lingyin didn't care whether she could get married or not, but she always felt that she was a cute child, and would be as beautiful as her mother and sister in the future, and become an excellent troublemaker.

Hearing her mother say this, she was so sad that she wanted to cry.

So the aunt was also a mean person, who even lied to her own little girl, and was complacent and laughed at her.

"Brother..." Xu Lingyin shook her little butt and ran to her brother. She braked suddenly, turned her face sideways, pointed her cheek with her short fingers, and pursed her lips: "I'm going to be disfigured."

"You are not disfigured," Xu Qi'an touched her head: "You are bubbling with beauty."

"What is bubbling with beauty?"

"It means that I will definitely be prettier than your mother and sister in the future."

Xu Lingyin believed it and was very happy. She ate three bowls of porridge for breakfast.

.....

Arriving at the night watchman's office, Xu Qi'an, Song Tingfeng and Zhu Guangxiao, who were responsible for the daily patrol, strolled together on the street.

"Your sword is good." Song Tingfeng noticed that the sword Xu Qi'an hung on his waist had changed in style.

Xu Qiyan pressed the knife with one hand, raised his thumb, and let the black gold knife come out of the sheath three inches, and then quickly put it back into the sheath, smiling proudly:

"It was sent by the Si Tian Jian."

He didn't say that it was sent by the chief of the Imperial Observatory. No one would believe it even if he said it. If they believed it and spread it out, it would attract the attention of covetous people.

"Magic weapon?" Song Tingfeng and Zhu Guangxiao's eyes lit up.

Xu Qiyan shook his head. It was not a magic weapon. There was no formation engraved on it. The only feature was that it was hard.

This point was very consistent with Xu Qiyan.

The streets in the inner city were wide and connected in all directions. Xu Qiyan bought a lot of snacks and shared them with his two colleagues, eating while walking.

Daily patrols have their own advantages. In addition to the night watchmen, there are also the imperial sword guards patrolling the city, the constables of the government office, etc.

This reduces the work pressure of the night watchmen a lot. They can have time to slack off. When they are tired, they can go to the teahouse to drink tea and listen to books, or listen to music in the brothel.

As he was walking, Xu Qi'an stepped on a hard lump. He looked forward, bent down and picked it up without pausing.

His movements were so natural and smooth, and his expression was so calm, that Song Tingfeng and Zhu Guangxiao thought he was just doing ordinary movements such as "touching the trouser legs" and "patting the boots".

He didn't realize that this new colleague had just seen three coins of silver.

Holding the silver, Xu Qi'an suggested, "How about listening to music in the brothel?"

Song Tingfeng and Zhu Guangxiao hesitated for a moment: "Okay."

The three of them entered the brothel with ease and came to the private room on the second floor. The table was placed by the railing, and the guests could drink tea and wine while overlooking the show on the stage in the lobby.

A variety show was going on on the stage.

"The day after tomorrow is the day for your majesty to worship your ancestors. You should have had several experiences." Xu Qi'an opened the topic and asked the two colleagues for

experience.

"We just need to guard the edge of Sangpo. The ancestral worship ceremony is held in Sangpo. You know this, right?" Song Tingfeng chewed peanuts and sipped a sip of wine.

Xu Qian'an nodded. Sangpo is a small lake outside the imperial city, which happens to be under the protection of the five guards camps in the capital.

The task of the night watchman is very simple, which is to maintain order and protect the safety of the royal family.

The sacrificial process is in the charge of the Taichang Temple and the Ministry of Rites, and the outer patrols are the imperial guards such as the Imperial Sword Guard and the Jinwu

Guard.

After watching a variety show, Song Tingfeng was bored and called the madam. In a moment, a group of girls dressed up in fancy clothes came in.

They stood in a row with smiles and flirted with the three guests.

The night watchman uniforms on Xu Qian'an and the other two were still very intimidating.

Xu Qian'an did not intend to touch women because the treasury had been emptied by Fuxiang yesterday. Martial artists in the Qi training realm do not need to be abstinent, but they must be restrained and cannot indulge.

"When you do things later, you can try to get the girl to call you daddy." Xu Qi'an whispered. Song Tingfeng and Zhu Guangxiao stared at him in disbelief, as if to say: Are you a beast? After picking two beautiful women, the two did not leave the private room, but entered the inner room. Of course, places like brothels would not just listen to music. Most of the time, they completed the transmission of life while listening to music.

Therefore, private rooms usually have their own inner room.

The madam and the unselected girls left, and Xu Qi'an watched the new program while listening to the tiny sounds in his ears.

Not long after, Song Tingfeng whispered: "Call daddy."

Hearing this, Xu Qi'an smiled with relief. He knew that he had opened the door to a new world

for his colleagues.

There was no sound on the other side. Guangxiao was really a down-to-earth person who worked hard....

Near noon, the three left the brothel. Because they were full of cakes, tea, snacks and wine, they simply didn't eat lunch.

"I had a lot of fun today." Song Tingfeng narrowed his eyes, satisfied.

"What's that? I'll teach you how to play Russian roulette next time." Xu Qi'an curled his lips. "Russian roulette?" Song Tingfeng looked unfamiliar, but it didn't hinder his interest: "Is it fun?"

"I haven't tried it either." Xu Qi'an shrugged. After all, only rich people can afford this game. Song Tingfeng looked like "Are you kidding me?" "Then what are you talking to me about?" Xu Qi'an said helplessly: "Because I haven't learned to manage time well yet." While walking and chatting, they suddenly saw a team of government constables in official uniforms rushing in front of them.

The leader was a woman with a tall figure, beautiful features, thicker eyebrows than ordinary women, and heroic spirit. S~eaʀᴄh the novel(F~)ire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

Lü Qing saw the three people at a glance. After all, the night watchman's uniform was handsome and eye-catching. He immediately pulled the reins of his horse, and as the horse raised its front hooves high and neighed, he said in a clear voice: "Mr. Xu, we meet again...

How are you two?"

He was called Mr. Xu, and we were called "the two of you". It turned out that Guangxiao and I were just two little characters without names... Song Tingfeng smiled, narrowed his eyes, and

greeted:

"I haven't seen you for a long time. Captain Lu has become more and more heroic."

Lü Qing smiled, then remembered the business, and said straight to the point: "A murder case

happened in Sanshui Street, which is also within the scope of your patrol. Since you have encountered it, let's go together."

There is a murder case... Song Tingfeng's face became serious: "Okay, Captain Lu will go first,

and we will follow behind."

....

Xu Qian'an and his colleagues rushed to Sanshui Street and saw the horse of the government constable tied to the roadside at the gate of a house.

After entering the gate and crossing the yard, I saw several government officials questioning

people. The women in the family had red eyes and were crying.

Lu Qing was in the house, not in the yard.

Xu Qian'an looked at the beautiful hostess and said, "Is the deceased your husband?"

The hostess saw the night watchman's uniform and nodded meekly, wiping her tears with a handkerchief.

Xu Qian'an glanced at her exquisite and curvy figure and said in a deep voice, "Call your son

out."

The hostess didn't understand the idea of the copper gong and sent the servant away. A few minutes later, the servant brought out a child about ten years old.

"Anything else?" Xu Qian'an asked.

".... Only one son." The hostess held the child in her arms.

I thought too much! Xu Qian'an nodded with relief, walked past everyone, and entered the

house with two colleagues.

This is a study room. The deceased was lying on the desk. The dried blood coagulated and covered half of the desk. The amount of bleeding was very large.

With just one look, Xu Qiyan estimated that the other party's throat was cut.

Lv Qing took two quick hands from the government office to check the corners, doors,

windows and beams of the study.

Xu Qiyan asked: "Did you find anything?"

Lv Qing shook his head: "Everything is intact, there are no signs of being pried, no footprints

on the windows, and no footprints on the beams."

Xu Qiyan said: "It was done by an acquaintance."

So quick to draw a conclusion?

Knowing that Xu Qiyan is a master, everyone did not refute, looking at him, waiting for an

explanation.

"The doors and windows are intact, and there are no footprints on the beams. It is basically ruled out that the murderer broke into the study." Xu Qiyan walked around the dead:

"The dead sat upright. From the perspective of lying on the table, he died in an instant without struggling. This shows that the dead knew the murderer, and not only knew him, but

also was someone he was very in awe of or afraid of." "Why do you say that?" Lv Qing humbly asked for advice.

"The dead should not be a scholar." Xu Qiyan asked.

Lü Qing didn't understand what he meant by asking this question, and replied, "A flag officer

of the Jinwu Guard."

Xu Qian'an nodded: "A normal person sitting in the study at home should be relaxed and comfortable. He shouldn't sit so upright and meticulously. Unless the person he is facing makes him have to treat him with respect.

"In addition, the cause of death seems to be a cut throat at first glance, but I guess the real cause of death is here..." Xu Qian'an grabbed the dead man's hair and raised his pale face. Everyone in the room saw a shallow depression on the dead man's forehead.
