The night is dark and windy, and the moonlight becomes cold.
The darkness of the night was so dense that it seemed like a hand representing death, holding a pen in the Book of Life and Death, coating everything with a haze like ink. Thus, the solemn night formed a picture of death.
All gray and black.
Only the wanted criminal was nailed to the wall, and the drops of bright red blood falling from the wound on his neck became the most shocking color in this gray and black world.
Until, as the gentle footsteps echoed, a gray figure slowly walked into the painting, replacing the dazzling blood and becoming the strongest cold outside the Banquan Road Inn.
The cold seemed to freeze the dripping blood for a moment, and even caused the old man at the door of the inn to shrink his eyes as he looked at the approaching figure.
He has black hair shawl, a slender figure with an upright look, cold eyes and an angular face, like a blade being slowly unsheathed.
It was Xu Qing.
He looked calm, and under the gaze of the old man on Banquan Road, he walked step by step to the corpse, took off the other party's leather bag, and pulled out the dagger with an expressionless face. He slightly flicked his head, and his head flew up and was picked up by him. When the corpse fell,
He kicked his right foot slightly.
Immediately, the body fell directly at the old man's feet.
The old man's face was gloomy, but there was a sound of wind behind him, and the head of the big snake roared out. The moment it saw Xu Qing, its eyes clearly shined.
"Gulu gulu."
"Please eat." Xu Qing glanced at the big snake and said calmly.
The big snake was very happy, swallowed it in one gulp, and nodded at Xu Qing.
"Xu Qing, don't go too far!" The old man from Banquan Road stared at Xu Qing and said coldly.
Xu Qing looked at the old man and waved his right hand violently. The dagger in his hand suddenly shot out into the distance, breaking the wind. A whistling and sharp sound came out, replacing the scream, and nailed another person who was facing here.
The forehead of the wanted criminal who is speeding towards me.
The huge force caused the man's skull to shatter, and red and white were scattered at the same time. His body was also pushed back two feet by the impact, and landed heavily on the ground with a bang.
This scene made the old man's eyebrows beat. He felt that the Xu Qing in front of him seemed to be even more powerful than when he was on Haili Island, and he suddenly felt worried in his heart.
"What on earth are you going to do!" The old man glared at Xu Qing, veins bulging on his face. A sense of danger emerged on him, and ropes came out of the air and hung down around him.
But the moment they appeared, a fiery force burst out from Xu Qing's body, forming a high temperature and sweeping towards the surroundings. Suddenly, the ropes bent one after another, and they did not dare to get close.
At this moment, a scream suddenly came from not far away.
That was the third wanted criminal who came here. He was covered in black and blue and died of poisoning just by getting close to this place.
Xu Qing ignored the dead wanted criminal and looked at the old man's neck, weighing in his heart whether he could kill him or not. His breath gradually became colder.
The old man stared at Xu Qing, depressed in his heart. He naturally knew the purpose of the other party's coming here, but he could give away thousands of spirit stones. He was really distressed, so he just talked and inquired. He planned to use the reason that he had given it to the pocket in the first place to avoid giving away the spirit stones.
.
But Xu Qing didn't say a word, which made him understand that it was useless to speak, especially at this moment, the aura on the other party's body already had murderous intent, which made the old man's heart thump, and a life-and-death crisis emerged strongly.
"Xu Qing, don't be impulsive. I have a trump card! The trump card is this inn. It just looks like an inn, but in fact it is weird. It is sleeping now. Once it wakes up, the first peak of Seven Blood Pupils will come to suppress it immediately.
You’re finished too!!”
The old man spoke very fast, and after he finished speaking, the whole inn shook violently, and a terrifying wave spread out from every table, chair, and all the bricks and tiles in the inn, as if the inn had become strange at this moment and was about to wake up.
Xu Qing's eyes narrowed, the sense of crisis was extremely strong at this moment, and he took a few steps back.
As for the big snake, it was lying in the distance from beginning to end, watching curiously, without helping anyone. It seemed that the two of them could not fight, and there would be no danger of life and death. It was aware of the changes in the inn, but
There seemed to be some sense of intimacy in his expression, and he rubbed his head on the ground, as if to say hello to the inn.
However, after noticing that Xu Qing was looking at him, it quickly made a purring sound and kept nodding its head, as if to remind Xu Qing that what the old man said was right.
"Xu Qing, I am not a human race, and this inn is not a simple inn. It is a kind of weirdness, and my tribe has the ability to make weirdness sleep."
"So I came to Seven Blood Pupils many years ago with it sleeping, ready to sell it to the First Peak, but the First Peak didn't give me the money right away, and asked me to keep it for them for ten weird years before paying. There was no way, they promised
The offer was too much, so I agreed, but I am also poor and I also want to practice."
"In addition, Huang Yan and I are good friends. I saved Zhang San's life. The captain of the Sixth Team and I are life and death friends. Xu Qing, don't be impulsive. We can also become good friends. The wanted criminal clue I gave you before is
To be honest, I didn’t mean to harm you.”
Xu Qing's face was gloomy. He looked at the old man who was explaining quickly, and then looked at the inn. At this moment, in the night, the inn seemed to have turned into a huge mouth in his eyes, capable of swallowing everything.
He knew that this old man was not simple and must have a way to save his life, so he never took action before, but he still didn't expect that his trump card was actually the inn itself!
Xu Qing didn't believe the other party's words about selling to First Peak.
But what he felt just now was very real, and Xu Qing felt that it was not worth the risk to kill him.
He was vigilant and decided not to take action at this moment. He planned to observe the place for a while longer, so he glanced at the old man, restrained his murderous intent, and spoke calmly.
"Give me the spirit stone!"
Sensing that Xu Qing's murderous intention had disappeared, the old man quickly took out three spiritual tickets from his arms, totaling three thousand. With a flick, the three spiritual tickets went straight to Xu Qing. Xu Qing caught them and checked them, and then cut them off.
He held the corpse's head in his hand and turned around to leave without any hesitation.
From beginning to end, he only said two sentences.
At this moment, looking at Xu Qing's retreating figure, the big snake quickly poked its head out and began to purr, its voice seemed to be filled with joy.
Xu Qing didn't look back and slowly walked away.
"Stop screaming, you white-eyed snake. Our spiritual stones are gone. Instead of feeling distressed, you turned to him. He really wanted to kill me just now. This inn almost woke up!" The old man was filled with grief and anger, and hurriedly turned to him. Take out the detoxification pill and eat it.
"Gulu!"
"You actually said I deserved it..." Hearing this, the old man became even more sad and angry. He tossed his sleeves and sat there smoking the pipe fiercely. Deep down in his heart, he was a little frightened by the murderous intent he felt just now.
"The evil spirit on this boy's body has become even stronger. I don't know what's going on with Hailixi Island. I need to find out!"
In the dark night, Xu Qing walked forward silently, and the scene in the previous inn came to mind. The strangeness of this world made him unable to determine whether what the other party said was true or false, but the danger emanating from the inn felt very real.
So after walking a long way, Xu Qing looked back at Banquan Road in the distance. He looked away for a while and completely put away his murderous intention.
Because Fa Zhou had not been promoted, Xu Qing decided to go to the Criminal Investigation Department. On the one hand, he canceled his leave, and on the other hand, he planned to stay for one night. In the Criminal Investigation Department, Xu Qing saw the captain who had just finished his work and was about to leave.
The captain walked out while eating the apple. When he saw Xu Qing and the three heads in his hand, he narrowed his eyes, smiled, and threw an apple.
"You are so hard-working, and you go out to arrest people as soon as you come back. Don't you gain much this time out?"
Xu Qing caught it, then took out a spiritual ticket containing one hundred spiritual stones and handed it over.
"The harvest is acceptable."
"I heard that there is an island near the Western Coral Islands, and many people died there. You won't go there, right?" The captain took the soul ticket and was very happy. He simply squatted on a stone chair aside with a look on his face. asked with interest.
Xu Qing glanced at the captain and shook his head.
The captain ate the apple, smiled, and did not continue the topic, but spoke in a low and mysterious voice.
"Let me tell you something earth-shattering. After you left, we had a big case here, which aroused heated discussion among many disciples in the city. It was so tragic. It was really a tragic death."
When the captain said this, he looked at Xu Qing, as if waiting for Xu Qing to ask.
Xu Qing also looked at the captain but said nothing.
After a while, the captain sighed.
"Xu Qing, when others speak to you in this tone, you should show curiosity, so that others will not feel embarrassed and can continue talking. This is polite."
Xu Qing was thoughtful, with a look of curiosity on his face.
The captain felt comfortable now. After looking around, he whispered.
"The captain of the Third Ground Team, that fish, was killed."
"This matter needs to be investigated by the Murder Department. Is it just a foreigner? It's just a thought, but the other party still has defenders, especially his two sisters, who are looking for the murderer like crazy..."
"This world is so chaotic. The young master who is such an ally should die just because he wants to. This is a big deal. I won't say anything about Junior Brother Xu, I'm going to go on patrol at night."
Having said this, the captain stood up, patted his clothes, jumped off the stone chair and walked out, but when he passed by Xu Qing, he spoke softly.
"The Mermaid Clan and the Seven Blood Pupils are allies, so we let them search for it. I heard... the Mermaid Clan has a technique that allows the two sisters to sense the traces of the murderer. They searched for more than a month and checked all the people related to the murderer.
The person who has something to do with that fish should be found soon."
"Everyone is watching, this is very interesting." The captain glanced at Xu Qing with a half-smile, and left the murder department without saying anything more.
Xu Qing stood there and pondered for a while.
To be continued...
