Ming Haoxing sniffed the smell in the air carefully, but he couldn't smell anything after smelling it for a long time.
"I didn't smell it, what is it?"
"The smell of gunpowder."
"Ah? Gunpowder? Has anyone set off firecrackers around here?" Ming Haoxing looked around, looking for the red paper left behind by the firecrackers.
Yun Wusheng slapped Ming Haoxing on the back of the head and said.
"What else can you think of using gunpowder with your brain!"
"Artillery? But that thing is so heavy. Can it be moved here? If a cannon were fired, wouldn't it be heard for hundreds of miles around?" Ming Haoxing scratched his head and said.
"..." Yun Wusheng was particularly speechless.
"Where is Gao Haitang from?" Yun Wusheng asked with a speechless face.
"People from Jinzhou, what's wrong?"
“What is Jinzhou most famous for?”
"Weapons making, this is famous for its gunfire, right?" As he was talking, Ming Haoxing suddenly realized.
"Ah, I understand! It's a gun, so this thing also uses gunpowder!"
Yun Wusheng squatted on the ground and touched the sand on the ground with his fingers. It was sparse and loose, and he touched it back and forth.
Finally touching some sand that was stuck together due to the liquid, Yun Wusheng took out a piece of white paper and wrapped it in the sand.
Then I pinched the white paper twice and opened it again. I saw that there were two red marks left on the white paper.
"It's blood." Yun Wusheng handed the white paper in his hand to Ming Haoxing.
"It seems that a gun was used. If there is a penetrating wound, there shouldn't be only such a little blood. It seems that he has treated it, but not completely..." Yun Wusheng was still stroking the ground with his hands, his expression thoughtful.
"The distribution of blood stains at Song Liuhua's house does not look like that. It should be stab wounds."
"Turn on Immortal Vision and check the surroundings. Since he used a gun, there will definitely be some fire traces left on his body. Search the area around to see if we can determine where he went." Yun Wusheng stood up.
said.

At the construction site, a group of armored soldiers came to the construction site. The leather-armored man in the lead grabbed the foreman by his collar and pulled him over.
"Master Bing, what's wrong?! I paid!" the foreman said fearfully.
"That's not the case. Call all the workers here. I want to ask questions!"
The foreman was so frightened that he quickly called all the workers to come. Even those who didn't come had them dragged out of their homes.
Hundreds of people crowded together, chattering wildly, discussing what had happened.
The surrounding music guards dispersed to guard the surrounding area to prevent any workers from leaving.
"Ha~" One of the soldiers guarding the music yawned. He was obviously a little tired. He looked around and saw that there was no one there.
He then brought two bricks and used them as stools, sitting on them and preparing to squint for a while.
But just after he closed his eyes, a figure slowly approached him from behind.
Until he was completely behind him, the figure covered the neck of the guard army and took out a sharp blade with the other hand.
One stroke, one stab, one cut, two chops, the figure's technique was extremely skillful, and in a few breaths, the head fell to the ground.
The figure took out the bag from his arms and put the head in it.
Then lay the body upside down on the ground to prevent blood from flowing to the armor and clothes.
The man was wearing the clothes and armor of the Guardsmen. As for the body...
There were pits around here. The figure found a pit and threw the body into it. He picked up a shovel and buried it in it.
Not much was buried. As long as the workers went to work, the body would be discovered.
But he doesn't need to hide it for too long.
The figure looked at the crowd in the distance with surprise in his eyes.
"Have you discovered it? So quickly..."
…………
The man in leather armor stood at the front, holding a stack of Wu You's portraits in his hand and throwing them down.
"Watch it! This person's name is Wu You. He lost it at noon. You all should look for him carefully!"
"The director said! If you find Wu You alive, you will be rewarded with ten taels of silver. If you find Wu You who is dead, you will be rewarded with five taels of silver!"
As soon as they heard the amount of silver, the workers below suddenly started talking. Ten taels of silver was as much as they had earned in more than a year.
"But you must remember, if you find out and conceal it, don't let us know! Otherwise, your head will fall to the ground!"
…………
Time passed so quickly, the sky became dark, the sun set, and the sky turned black.
The middle-aged man walked back to his mansion, took off his official uniform, and walked back to the back room panting in his casual clothes.
The woman beside the bed moved her hand slightly closer, but the middle-aged man opened her hand.
"Go, go, I'm so upset today. I'm not interested anymore. Go to bed quickly."
"oh……"
The woman blew out the bedside lamp and the two of them had just fallen asleep. Before they fell asleep, they heard footsteps in the courtyard.
"Huh?!" The middle-aged man suddenly woke up when he heard the noise.
Although he is full of flesh and blood, he was also an elite soldier of the Shoule Division when he was young, otherwise he would not be able to be the director of the division.
The woman heard the noise, wiped her blurred eyes, stood up and asked.
"What's wrong?"
The middle-aged man reached under the bed, took out a steel knife, and whispered.
"There's someone in the courtyard, I don't know if it's a thief or something..."
The middle-aged man did not dare to act rashly. He knew that his strength was far less than before.
If there is a thief outside, he can scare him off by rushing out.
I'm just afraid that people outside are not...
From time to time there was a snapping sound outside, and the middle-aged man knew clearly that it was the sound of the door being pushed open.
There are many rooms in the mansion, and it seems that the other party is not familiar with the structure of the mansion.
The middle-aged man is still a little scared. If the frequency of the door opening sound is lower, he can think that the other person is a thief and open the doors one by one to steal things.
But this door opened so frequently that it didn't look like a thief.
It was more like looking for someone. Listening to the voice, it seemed that he was looking for someone from the first door on the left.
The middle-aged man silently calculated in his heart.
The first door on the left is the woodshed. After the man opens it, he opens the second door every three seconds.
The second door was the kitchen. After the man opened it, he opened the third door three seconds later.
The third door is the maid's room.
"Ah!" the harsh girl screamed, and the middle-aged man knew that he was right.
"ah!"
"Ahhh!"
"Ah ah ah ah ah ah ah!"
The first maid's cry woke up the other maids, and they all screamed.
The middle-aged man was about to take advantage of the chaos and rush out of the room, but the screaming outside suddenly stopped.
"Who!" A man's questioning voice came from outside.
The middle-aged man recognized that it was his servant's voice.
"You, you, what have you done!" The servant's voice sounded very frightened.
The middle-aged man frowned, stopped rushing out of the room, and continued to listen to the sounds outside.
But the voice of the servant outside suddenly disappeared, and only the sound of the man's footsteps walking in the courtyard was left.
snap
Another door was pushed open.
The middle-aged man felt a chill in his heart. He knew that the person who had come was not evil, and he was afraid that all his maids and servants might be dead.
In such a short time, it started so quickly...
The middle-aged man hid behind the door, so that as soon as the door opened, he could slash the man's head with a knife.
The sound of the door opening was getting closer and closer, and the man's footsteps were getting closer and closer to the middle-aged man's room.
Snap...
Snap...
Snap...
The voice became lower and lower, and the middle-aged man became more and more nervous. He swallowed his saliva and his heart skipped a beat.
Until there was only the last door left, which was the middle-aged man's bedroom.
The footsteps of the man outside got closer and closer, and finally stopped in front of the middle-aged man's door.
The middle-aged man clenched the knife in his hand and waited for the person outside to push the door in. When the time came, he would chop it down with all his strength.
One second passed, two seconds passed, three seconds passed.
The door was not pushed open. The middle-aged man stood behind the door and became more and more nervous. He couldn't figure out why the person outside the door didn't come in. The hand holding the knife kept shaking.
The woman sitting on the bed was terrified, but she still suppressed her voice to prevent others from hearing her.
bump!
There was a loud noise, the smell of gunpowder smoke filled the room, and only a flash of fire was seen coming from the door.
?
The middle-aged man didn't react at all, and stared blankly at the hole in the wooden door? White smoke was still coming out of the hole.
Looking at the woman on the bed again, a bloody hole had been punched in the woman's abdomen.
The woman's eyes widened, she spit out two mouthfuls of blood, and looked at the middle-aged man, as if she wanted to say something, but she couldn't.
Finally, he rolled off the bed and fell to the floor. The bloody hole in his stomach kept leaking blood and remained outside the door.
The person outside the door looked down at the blood at his feet, raised his feet and took a few steps back.
Plop, the sound of the sole being removed from the blood was heard.
The middle-aged man stood motionless behind the door. He couldn't figure out what happened.
Fire guns? Isn’t this Cangzhou? Why did the attackers have Jinzhou guns?!
The middle-aged man kept repeating this thought in his mind. He looked at the woman lying on the ground in a pool of blood and felt heartbroken.
Two tears fell from the corners of his eyes, but he still did not dare to make a sound or move.
The man outside walked outside the door for a while, maybe wiping off the blood from his feet.
The footsteps gradually got farther away. The middle-aged man thought the other party was gone. Just as he breathed a sigh of relief, the footsteps slowly came back again.
Getting closer, getting closer.
Push the door open one last time.
After the man opened the door, he saw the woman on the ground, and then looked at the bed, but did not see the middle-aged man.
He was a little confused and froze on the spot.
The middle-aged man hiding behind the door looked at the person who came in through the door. The moonlight shone on that person, reflecting his face.
The middle-aged man was stunned for a moment, but hatred soon appeared on his face. He raised the steel knife in his hand and slashed at the man.
Clang!
A crisp sound came out, and the man was unhurt. The steel knife struck the man's shoulder, and only a few sparks were produced.
"So you are hiding behind the door, Director, good night."
The man held the middle-aged man's steel knife with one hand, and slowly raised the steel pipe that was still emitting white smoke with the other hand.
"Bye-Bye."
bump!
There was a gunshot, and the middle-aged man's body fell to the ground, his brain leaving a bright red flower on the wall.
