The morning sun on Black Rock Cliff bloomed in a bright red. When purple clouds filled the sky and thick clouds greeted the rising sun, there was a soul-crushing exclamation. What is it? They asked each other, and those who knew about it rushed to tell each other or whispered.

When two other miserable cries came from other corners of the town, everyone could no longer hold back their pretense of calm. Soon, the whole town fell into panic and terror that had not been seen for many years. When acquaintances met, there were no longer smiles and greetings.

, replaced by shaking his head and dodging. There were more hurried steps and more creaking sounds of doors closing.

A group of officers and soldiers armed with swords surrounded the jade shop tightly. After a while, the official sedan slowly swayed across the stone road and stopped at the entrance of the jade shop. The plump county magistrate slowly got out of the sedan, and the police officers rushed forward.

They explained the case one after another. Last night, shopkeeper Li received an invitation to discuss business in advance, so he stayed in the shop overnight to wait for visitors. In the morning, the waiter came to see there was only blood all over the courtyard. Shopkeeper Li had been stabbed seven times. The fatal stab was on his neck.

, directly cutting off the throat.

Passing through the business shop, the back hall of the reception hall was stained with blood, as well as traces of furniture being pushed against each other. It extended to the accounting room, then to the door of the warehouse, and finally to the yard. The bloody traces were dragged all the way. The county magistrate was there

In front of the backyard, he shuddered and stopped. He saw the blood-dried corpse beside the well in the courtyard, and also saw the big words written in blood on the pink wall of the courtyard: "Kill for the rich and the unkind". There was also a line of bloody footprints.

, slowly and leisurely, extending from the edge of the well platform to the back door, disappearing out of thin air.

What’s even more strange is that such a messy and terrifying scene was left behind, and none of the surrounding neighbors heard the shouts.

Already standing in the yard was a man with slightly frosty hair and wooden clogs. He walked around and said to the boy next to him: "Go and invite Master Chu to come here!" The county magistrate greeted with a fake smile: "Master Jiang,

Why are you here?" The man known as "Master Jiang" had been involved in official circles in his early years and had quite a reputation. After resigning, he started a silk and spice business under the Black Rock Cliff and made many friends. "I am Shopkeeper Li.

My friend suffered such an unexpected incident, it’s really heartbreaking!” “Yes, yes, yes…” The county magistrate also had to respect him three points when he saw him.

As soon as the boy ran outside the courtyard wall, he saw a tall white horse stopped at the entrance of the alley. Chu Tao jumped down, threw away the reins and hurried towards the courtyard. Behind him, Xie Junhe, Wang Hong,

Doctor Liu was all present. The riding whip was still in his hand. Chu Tao hurriedly cupped his fists and saluted: "I'm late, I'm sorry."

The county magistrate maintained his dignified air: "Master Chu, the people in the world seem to be unruly these days?"

"There is a killer who is causing trouble. My people are already tracking him down."

"This was also done by a killer? Why did he commit the crime?"

"revenge."

"What do you think about this matter?"

"As soon as possible. If you have any news, report it immediately." With a tacit smile, the official left, leaving the rest to Chu Tao.

However, Mr. Jiang frowned with great dissatisfaction: "It's getting harder and harder to recruit Mr. Chu."

Chu Tao smiled politely: "I don't dare. I was elsewhere and was delayed." He glanced at the situation in the hospital and winked at the three people behind him. The three of them went separately to check the situation without any delay. Dr. Liu immediately

Xie Junhe was rummaging around in the yard after the corpse, while Wang Hong asked the waiter's family for questioning. Mr. Jiang glanced at him and sighed: "I have been friends with shopkeeper Li for decades, and I know very well what kind of person he is. He has always been a good person.

He is charitable and helps his neighbors from time to time. He never makes enemies with others! Why did this killer write such insulting words? It is really outrageous!"

Chu Tao knew very well that he was sighing in response to the word "revenge" that he blurted out just now: "I also know who Shopkeeper Li is. However, the treasures in the house were not lost, and not a penny was taken from the account. There were seven wounds and blood everywhere. First,

Stab both arms, then the chest and abdomen, then both legs, and finally seal the throat with a sword. This killing method of draining human blood cannot be done without deep hatred. Make an appointment on the grounds of business, and wait for the guys to leave.

, he entered through the front door, committed the murder, and came out through the back door. The blood stains of the murder were not messy, and once he went out, no tracking clues were left. The blood letter of "Kill for the rich and unkind" is probably the most reasonable excuse to cover up the deep hatred."

"How do you know?" Mr. Jiang was shocked. He had just stepped into this yard and had not questioned or examined the body.

"I just came from the goldsmith's shop and the bank, and I saw blood stains. I knew there were three murders in one night. This killer is very busy! It's just that the other two shopkeepers are not as clean as shopkeeper Li, and they have a lot to seek revenge on.

This person is bloodthirsty and has many cases against him. He acts meticulously and rigorously. In addition..."

"According to what you said, why didn't anyone hear the cry?"

Yes, it seems that everything cannot be explained at this point.

"I don't care what his purpose is, Chu Tao," Mr. Jiang called him by his first name, "What I want to see is that the murderer is brought to justice!" In his opinion, Chu Tao was so calm that he was almost cold-blooded.

"Young Master!" Wang Hong led the child and rushed over in horror. The child said: "Yesterday at noon, someone handed over a post saying that he wanted to discuss a business with the master. According to the rules, I handed it to the master immediately.

.The post has a very strange fragrance. Now I can’t find the post at home.”

"In the brazier." Xie Junhe walked out and glanced at Master Jiang coldly, "If you are a shady visitor, this post cannot be easily shown to others. I just saw the brazier in the backyard, and it was stained with new paper.

Hui. The same is true for those two families."

"What kind of clue is this?" Master Jiang was very angry.

Liu Siren, who was inspecting the corpse, also stood up and responded: "The right hand, under the blood, has a faint fragrance."

Chu Tao said: "Please do me a favor, Mr. Jiang - Mr. Jiang has many friends in the official circles, so it should not be difficult to find out who is a repeat offender. This man is not too old, has handsome features, and often carries strange fragrances. Compared with the powerful and heavy sword,

He prefers swords that make his movements light and agile. Qinggong is definitely good. The method of killing is straightforward and traces are hard to find afterwards. He only kills people and does not care about wealth. Maybe he has something to do with the Western Regions. I just want his information, even if it's just his name.

."

Mr. Jiang raised his eyebrows with a cold face: "Okay, I will help you ask for news."

Xie Junhe rolled his eyes at the exiting figure unhappily: "What a bastard, why did you offend him?"

"We are old rivals in the business world, what kind of memory do we have?" Chu Tao scolded him as he exited. "Seven years ago, he took away a few spices business from me. Five years ago, he asked someone to send a message to Qin Xiao,

I hope to use the power of Bei'an to divide my escort business. Four years ago, I found someone to help Uncle Duan squeeze him and got a few silk business deals. Three years ago, I sent two of his water thieves friends to prison.

"

"A minor character, I have no memory. I only remember the faces I punched and the faces of my enemies."

"No wonder my and Uncle Wang's faces are unforgettable to you forever? Don't be bored just because you deserve a beating." Chu Tao twisted his eyebrows and gave him a back look.

Wang Hong immediately spoke up behind him: "Yes, he deserves a beating."

Xie Junhe's heart suddenly became angry, and he could no longer contain his ruffianism: "Isn't it just a fight in the street? Ten years later, you still hold grudges, and you don't understand the hatred and start another fight?"

Liu Siren, who had been unable to say anything, was reminded of the battle on the street ten years ago when they mentioned it. Chu Tao had only done such a shameless thing. Wasn't it Xie Junhe's fault?

The honest and honest Liu Siren squinted his eyes and smiled slightly: "Yes, there are so many things that... deserve a beating?"

Chu Tao suddenly darkened his face and stood still at the entrance of the alley.

Qi Heng's drunken face lingered on the street corner.

Xie Junhe sneered and rubbed his fists: "The face that needs a beating is delivered to the door so quickly?"

Chu Tao blocked him with an arm and whispered: "Don't cause trouble, let's go our own way." He adjusted the saddle and straightened the bridle, but heard a greeting from across the street: "Hey! Head Chu? See you there."

The guests don’t even say hello?”

Xie Junhe interjected in a low voice: "You want to withdraw, but the one who deserves a beating needs a beating."
