This is obviously the tea room that Pastor Duan mentioned.
In the teahouse, five or six officials were lying or lying down, all of them unconscious. There was still a fire burning in the stove nearby to boil water, and the tea sets on the table were still steaming.
Qin Xiao looked solemn, and quickly stepped forward to check on one of them. He saw that this man's face was rosy, and his symptoms were exactly the same as those of the poisoned and unconscious soldiers in the canteen. There is no doubt that the murderer not only drugged the soldiers' food, but also
Even in this tea room something was done.
Jiang Xiaochun has also followed in at this moment.
There was a tea box on the table with tea leaves in it. Jiang Xiaochun didn't waste any time. He went over to check the tea leaves in the tea box first, then checked the tea in the cup, and his eyes fell on the kettle on the stove.
"How...how could it be like this?" Superintendent Duan Mu was not a martial arts practitioner, and his foot speed was naturally inferior to that of Qin Xiao and Jiang Xiaochun. At this time, he finally entered the house. When he saw the scene inside, he was also shocked and turned pale.
He was already pale, with cold sweat breaking out on his forehead, and he was almost unsteady on his feet.
Jiang Xiaochun looked at Superintendent Duan and asked, "After you left the table, did you drink tea here?"
Superintendent Duan could only say: "After everyone left the table, they were worried that the Lord would still greet him, so they didn't dare to leave. They thought of drinking tea here first, waiting for the Lord to speak, and then rushing back overnight. After leaving the table, everyone still
I had some matters to deal with, so I went to the study and asked Liang Mucheng to take everyone to the tea room for tea."
"Is there someone waiting around to make tea?" Jiang Xiaochun asked.
Superintendent Duan shook his head and said: "When we usually discuss ranch affairs, everyone likes to discuss it in the tea room. There are tea leaves on the table. Everyone likes different concentrations, so they put the tea leaves themselves, make tea for themselves, and cook it on the side.
Get some water and refill yourself."
Jiang Xiaochun looked at Qin Xiao, but Qin Xiao already understood what he meant. He walked to the stove and picked up the kettle. It was a large porcelain kettle. One pot of water could make more than ten cups of tea. There was also a bucket next to the stove.
If there is not enough water in the pot, you can add water into it.
Naturally, these officials in the ranch cannot be compared with the real dignitaries, and they are not so particular about drinking tea. After all, they are in the ranch, so many things are very casual.
"Are all the ranch officials you summoned today here?" Qin Xiao asked.
Inspector Duan glanced at it and said, "Except for Liang Mucheng, everyone else is here."
Qin Xiao and Jiang Xiaochun looked at each other, knowing in their hearts that what happened tonight was probably related to Liang Mucheng.
Qin Xiao placed the large porcelain pot on the table. Jiang Xiaochun stepped forward to check it with a silver needle, and then said to Qin Xiao: "The tea leaves are not poisonous, but the water in the pot is poisonous. Someone has poisoned the pot.
"
"How is this possible?" Superintendent Duan couldn't believe it. "Sir, Sir, this tearoom is not big. The stove is right next to it. Everyone is sitting at the table drinking tea. Who has the opportunity to come in from outside and throw something into the pot?"
poison?"
Jiang Xiaochun said calmly: "People from outside can't come in to poison, but people inside have the opportunity to take advantage of others' unpreparedness and poison the pot when adding water."
Duan Mujian's body was shaken and he glanced at the unconscious people in the room. He thought of something and said in surprise: "Liang Mucheng!"
"General, that Liang Mucheng has organized the meals for the brothers tonight, and it was he who just led these people to the teahouse to drink tea." Jiang Xiaochun looked sternly and said softly: "It seems that Liang Mucheng has something to do with what happened tonight."
"Superintendent Duan, who is Liang Mucheng?"
Inspector Duan shook his head repeatedly and said in disbelief: "Sir, it's impossible, absolutely impossible. Liang Mucheng is a lowly brother-in-law. His lowly position knows everything about him. Even if he was given great courage, he would not dare to poison him.
.”
"My lord, my lord...!" As soon as Duan Mujian finished speaking, he heard a panicked voice, and a soldier from the Animal Husbandry Supervision Office rushed over, holding a robe in his hand: "It's not good.
, Sir, it’s not good.”
Superintendent Duan was frightened now. These strange things happened one after another. When he saw the visitor, he said angrily: "What's wrong?"
"The robe...!" The soldier raised his hand and shook the robe in his hand: "This... This is the official robe of Master Mu Cheng, and there is also the crown and hat." He raised his other hand.
, in his hand was an official hat.
Duan Mujian was even more shocked. Qin Xiao and Jiang Xiaochun also looked at each other, feeling that things were getting more and more strange. Duan Mujian rushed forward, took the official robe and hat, shook them off, looked at them, and said in shock: "Yes, this.
....This is Liang Long's official robe." He stared at the soldier and asked, "Where did you find it?"
"The master asked the younger ones to look for Master Mu Cheng. We searched everywhere, but there was no trace of Master Mu Cheng." The soldier said, "When we passed by the woodshed, the younger ones went in and looked around with a torch. They were in the corner of the woodshed.
I found Lord Mu Cheng’s official robe and hat.”
"Woodshed?" Inspector Duan Mu asked urgently, "Is Liang Long in there?"
"No, we found the robe, so we searched carefully in the woodshed twice, but we didn't find Lord Mu Cheng." The soldier said, "There is no other way but to report to Lord first."
Duan Mujian took the official robe, turned to Qin Xiao and said: "Sir, you... look...!"
Qin Xiao just felt weird at this time, frowned, looked at Jiang Xiaochun, and asked: "General Jiang Lang, what do you think?"
"If Liang Long is really the poisoner, where is he now?" Jiang Xiaochun looked solemn: "Why did he take off his official robe?" He stared at Superintendent Duan and asked, "Are the front and back doors of the Animal Husbandry Supervision Office sealed?"
Superintendent Duan said hurriedly: "It has been sealed. No one can go out without the orders of humble officials."
As soon as he finished speaking, he heard a scream from not far away. The sound was very sad, and it was even more penetrating in the night.
"Find two people to watch over this place." Qin Xiao didn't waste any words, and he and Jiang Xiaochun flew away following the sound. They had already identified that the sound was coming from the direction of the cafeteria. For fear of something happening to Fat Fish, his feet were extremely fast, so he had to get closer quickly.
In the cafeteria, I saw a figure squatting in front of me and another person lying on the ground.
"General!" The figure squatting on the ground heard the footsteps and looked up, but it was none other than Fat Fish.
"What's going on?" Qin Xiao stepped forward and asked.
Fat Fish said: "My subordinates were guarding the canteen when they saw a man wearing single clothes suddenly running past. He felt strange. When he chased after him, he saw a man lying on the ground. The man in single clothes was nowhere to be seen." He glanced at the ground.
The man said: "He's just afraid he won't survive."
Qin Xiao had also seen that the person lying on the ground was a guard from the Animal Husbandry and Supervision Bureau. His throat was "gurgling" and his neck was slightly crooked. Looking closer, he could see clearly that the guard's throat had been pinched. Look at that.
The situation, it seems that the throat bone has been severed.
Jiang Xiaochun also went over and squatted down. He stretched out his hand to explore the guard's throat bone. His color also changed. He said solemnly: "His throat bone was cut off from the middle and appeared to be broken. Judging from the traces on the throat, the murderer only used
Two fingers cut off his throat bone, this strength...!" He didn't say anything further, but Qin Xiao could already see the shock in his eyes.
Qin Xiao naturally knows that although the throat bone is not the strongest part of the human body, it is definitely not something ordinary people can do to break the throat bone with just two fingers. He is already at the fourth level of Zhongtian realm, but he can't.
There is absolutely no way this can be done.
How can there be such a master in the Animal Husbandry and Supervision Bureau now?
He knew that Jiang Xiaochun's martial arts cultivation level was not low. Apart from Jiang Xiaochun, he was the only one with a fourth-level cultivation level. In the Animal Husbandry Supervision Office, apart from himself and Jiang Xiaochun, it was impossible for there to be other Zhongtian realm masters.
It would be really unbelievable to say that there are Zhongtian realm masters among the officials of the Animal Husbandry Supervision Bureau.
"General Lang, are you saying that a master has sneaked in?" Qin Xiao asked in a low voice.
Jiang Xiaochun looked around and then whispered: "Sir, break the bones with two fingers. This is naturally not a difficult task for a master of the Great Heaven Realm, but it is not easy for a master of the Zhongtian Realm.
Even with a sixth-grade cultivation level, I’m afraid I can’t do it just by relying on the strength of my fingers.”
"Could the murderer be from the Great Heaven Realm?" Qin Xiao was even more surprised, his face changing color slightly.
"No." Jiang Xiaochun shook his head and said: "There are also some very powerful bone-crushing skills in the world. It doesn't require the Great Heaven Realm. As long as you have deep internal strength and use bone-crushing skills, you can also achieve the same effect." After a pause,
Cai Dao: "But even so, without fifth-level cultivation, coupled with the bone-breaking skill, you can break the throat bone with two fingers...!" He whispered: "If nothing happens, the murderer should at least
It’s the fifth level of cultivation.”
Qin Xiao's heart trembled. From this point of view, the murderer must be stronger than himself.
"You saw a man in single clothes, what's going on?" Qin Xiao looked at Pang Yu, "Can you recognize who that is?"
Fat Fish was observing the surroundings with vigilance. After hearing Qin Xiao's inquiry, he said softly: "That man was very fast. I only saw him wearing single clothes. I thought it was strange to wear only single clothes outside in such a cold weather. I felt something was wrong. I thought
I caught up with him to see who he was, but the man was very fast. I didn’t see him until I caught up with him. I only heard screams. When I came over, I saw that the man in single clothes was gone. I only saw him lying on the ground.
A man came to check and found that his throat bone was broken and he had been killed by the murderer."
Although the guard's throat bone was severed, he was not completely dead. His body was twitching uncontrollably, and he made a "gurgling" sound in his throat. He was obviously holding on for his last breath. His eyes were bulging, but in the end he still couldn't hold on.
Unable to keep up, his body sank and he stopped moving. Although his pupils had dilated and dimmed, his eyes were wide open, obviously unwilling to rest in peace.
"Sir, you came here today. These strange things happened at night. If my subordinates guessed correctly, the murderer is probably coming for you." Jiang Xiaochun looked sternly and said in a low voice: "Brothers are all drugged.
We can only wake up at dawn. The enemy is in the dark and we are clear. We have no idea how many there are. We also know nothing about whether there are other ambushes outside the Animal Husbandry Supervision Office. It is already dark now. Apart from the Animal Husbandry Supervision Office, we have no idea.
, may become their prey, so if you want to leave here, you have to wait until dawn."
Qin Xiao nodded and said: "The minimum person who kills people is a fifth-level master, which is already very difficult. Let's all stay in the cafeteria tonight to see what the other party's plans are." Xiang Pangyu said: "
Fat Fish, you go to the lobby, Qin Ji is still there, you bring him to the cafeteria." I thought that if a master really came to assassinate, it would most likely be the arrangement of the Liaodong Army. Look,
He came to lose Liaoxi County and made the Liaodong Army angry, so they resorted to assassination.
