In fact, it is impossible for the real troublemakers to wait until dawn.
Hu Da delivered medicine to Ning Daocheng, but did not return for two hours. His companion Pan Changning felt something was wrong, so he went to the secret room to look for someone. As a result, he saw a scene that left him stunned.
Huda was found dead on the spot, and Ning Daocheng, who was tied to the stone wall, was also missing.
Pan Changning was so frightened that he turned around and ran away. He found Xiao Qiniang that night and told her about the incident.
Xiao Qiniang was so angry that she slapped Pan Changning on the spot: "How did you do this?"
Pan Changning did not dare to argue and covered his face and said: "Miss Qi, now is not the time to hold people accountable. The key is to find the person first. Huda died after his throat bone was crushed. The person who killed him must be highly skilled in martial arts."
, and he is very powerful. Now we should immediately have people seal off the government office and search carefully. If it were later, maybe the person would have escaped."
Xiao Qiniang naturally knew this truth, and quickly asked Zhuyu to use her token to mobilize the guards of the government office and let them conduct a carpet-like search in the government office.
"You still need to disperse the people, and let me search them carefully within a radius of five miles." Ning Daocheng's eyes were blind, his hands were disabled, and his legs were also damaged. No matter how powerful a person is in martial arts, he will definitely not be able to run far with a burden.
"Yes." Zhuyu didn't dare to be careless, so she quickly took the token and went to the front of the government office.
"What's going on in the secret room?"
Pan Changning said quickly: "There are no signs of damage to the stone door or the passage. I have carefully looked at the situation in the secret room. There are only Huda's footprints. The iron chains on the wall are all opened with keys. I think that person must be
First kill Hu Da, and then take the key to save Mr. Ning."
Xiao Qiniang had a gloomy face and said nothing.
The Xiao family has been military generals guarding Mobei for generations. She also learned self-defense kung fu since she was a child. Although her kung fu is not very good, she still has some basic common sense.
There will definitely not be too many people coming to save people. There are so many guards in the government office. If they mobilize a large number of people to save people, there will definitely be a commotion.
At most two people, maybe only one person, rescued Ning Daocheng. Who could this person be?
Li Maner?
Ning Daocheng is her uncle.
But how did Li Man'er know about this secret room? In such a huge government office, there were very few people who knew about this secret room. Li Man'er had only been here a few days. What's more, her martial arts skills weren't necessarily that good. Is it possible that she could still do it?
Escape from the eyes of the guards in the government office?
What's more, they also have dogs.
It can't be her.
Li Man'er's figure only turned around in Xiao Qiniang's head before being driven out by her.
At this moment, Pan Changning suddenly said: "Miss Qi, my subordinate suddenly remembered something."
"What's up?"
"When my subordinates went to the secret room, Huda was already dead, and the medicine he gave Mr. Ning was knocked over on the ground. My subordinates guessed that the man was hiding in the dark and suddenly attacked him. Huda was unprepared.
That’s why he threw the medicine bowl and lost his life.”
Xiao Qiniang frowned and said impatiently: "What's the point?"
"If the medicine bowl falls on the ground and the medicine splashes everywhere, will it also splash on that person's shoes?" In other words, whoever wears shoes stained with medicine will be the one who saves Ning Daocheng.
"You have to catch someone first." The murderer can be identified.
Pan Changning added: "I think it is not easy for even a master to leave with someone like Mr. Ning. Maybe he just hid the person. The government office is so big, it is easy to hide one or two people."
of."
Xiao Qiniang frowned again, "Do you suspect that the person who rescued Ning Daocheng was an insider?"
"My subordinates are just guessing." Pan Changning said: "The government has already put it under control, so why not do another search?"
Xiao Qiniang nodded. Since such a big thing happened, she couldn't sleep, so she would search again.
For some reason, she thought of Li Man'er again, and her first reaction was to take someone to Li Man'er's house to take a look.
Therefore, Li Maner once again got her word right, and these people really came to trouble her again.
There was a loud knock on the door. As soon as Li Man'er sat up, he heard the door next to him creak open. Liu Ya stood in the corridor with an angry face, scolding Xiao Qiniang and his group, "You guys still
There is no end to it, we are making trouble every three days, and we are making trouble every five days, what on earth are you going to do?"
Liu Ya walked to Li Man'er's door as he spoke, blocking Xiao Qiniang and others like an old hen guarding her young, "Our girl has been unlucky for eight lifetimes to live here with you. She is a Hou."
My daughter's reputation is very important, you bastards just want to harm her, don't you?"
Liu Ya's arrogant look seemed to Xiao Qiniang to be guilty of guilt.
"If Miss Li doesn't have a guilty conscience, what can't be investigated?"
As soon as he finished speaking, the door behind Liu Ya was opened.
Li Man'er tied her hair into a simple bun on the back of her head and put on her clothes. She seemed to have been woken up and was a little unhappy, but she still walked out gracefully.
"It's so late at night, there's such a big battle, but there's another thief in the government office?" Li Man'er hid her face and yawned, "Miss Xiao Qi, your management skills are not good, why do you always get into trouble?"
Xiao Qiniang's face turned red and white at the same time, "I'm disturbing Miss Li's rest, but the matter is important and we have to find out." As she said this, she lowered her head to look at Li Man'er's shoes.
The upper of the shoe is clean, but there are slight traces of dirt on the edge of the upper. Normal walking wear and tear will definitely cause some stains...
It seems that it's not her. Does Ning Daocheng's disappearance really have nothing to do with Li Man'er?
When Li Maner saw Xiao Qiniang staring at her feet, she immediately thought of the bowl of medicine that fell in the secret room. She didn't think there was anything wrong at the time, but when she came back, she found that the uppers of her shoes were stained, so she immediately removed them.
The pair of shoes were stored in the space, and she didn't usually wear them, she would only put them on when going out.
It seemed that Xiao Qiniang was not without merit. She also thought that the rescuer's shoes would be stained with medicine, so she stared at her shoes.
"Don't Miss Xiao Qi want to search? Please hurry up. It's so late at night and it's really a sin to disturb people's dreams."
When Xiao Qiniang saw her being so open-minded, she knew that this matter had nothing to do with her, but she still had to check it out to make a complete show, what if someone had hidden the dirty shoes? This was not necessarily the case.
With a look from Xiao Qiniang, her men got busy and went into the house to search.
No one was found, and no shoes with stained uppers were found.
Liu Ya was quite nervous at first, fearing that they would find Li Man'er's night clothes, but when she saw that they couldn't find anything despite searching, she was quietly relieved.
"Miss Li, excuse me."
Xiao Qiniang was just about to leave with her people when she heard Li Man'er say: "Miss Qi, stay here."
Xiao Qiniang looked surprised, "Miss Li, is there anything else?"
"Again and again and again and again and again and again and again." Li Man'er had a distant fake smile on her face, "I hope that next time, Miss Xiao Qi will not make something out of nothing."
