In the deep alley, this assassin who looked like a farmer howled miserably.
In the shrill howl, the unbelievable shock was far greater than the pain.
How could anyone know that he was here to assassinate this woman, and why would he suddenly shoot such an arrow?
The woman with a faint bloodstain on her face also let out a cry of surprise.
The three-sided thorns and black oilcloth in the farmer's hands, as well as the arrow that suddenly penetrated the farmer's arm, made her unable to understand what happened at this moment.
On the pavilion in Wuyi Lane, Lin Xi stood up in the shadows. Although the previous arrow was perfectly shot, he knew that the farmer was still close to the woman and had the ability to assassinate her, so he did not stop at all.
The second crystal steel arrow had already flown out from the tip of his finger.
"laugh!"
The farmer heard the second strange sound, but before he had time to react, the sound of sharp weapons and flesh was heard on his right thigh again.
The transparent arrow pierced his thigh, and the tyrannical force made him unable to stand any longer. He knelt on the ground. A long arrow tip came out of his thigh and touched the ground. It felt like this
An arrow pinned him to the ground.
The voices of Bian Linghan and Jiang Xiaoyi appeared from the alley behind the woman.
The two of them were shocked when they heard the farmer's scream, so they rushed in as fast as possible. When they saw such a scene, their figures froze, and their faces were stunned.
They were all filled with incredible looks of shock.
Bian Linghan's first instinct was that the woman had injured the farmer. However, after seeing the woman's panic, the arrows on the farmer's body, and the three-sided thorns and black oilcloth in the farmer's hands, she instantly
He reacted and opened the wooden box on his back as quickly as possible.
Lin Xi had already set the third arrow, but did not take action.
A delicate silver folding bow quickly unfolded in Bian Linghan's hand. When it was aimed at the farmer, a silver-white arrow was already placed on the bowstring.
The farmer man stopped howling and raised his head slightly.
This was a black-faced man with an extremely ordinary appearance. He looked no different from the ordinary farm men in Donggang Town. Seeing Bian Linghan pointing his silver bow and arrow in his hand, he swallowed bitterly, and then
Even during Windrunner's training, Tong Wei had reminded her and Lin Xi countless times that no matter what they saw in their eyes, it could not affect the stability of the bow and arrow in their hands. During the confrontation with Thunder Academy, she had also seen
She had seen dripping blood, but at this moment when she saw this ordinary-looking farmer chewing his tongue like a fat fish fillet, and seeing the blood and broken flesh pouring out of his mouth, she still couldn't control herself.
My heart was palpitating, and I made a mistake that a fashionable person should never make.
The black-faced farmer fell forward with his half-kneeling body.
His body covered his hands, and the three-sided thorn had been raised up by his left hand. As soon as he fell down, the three-sided thorn came out from his back.
…
…
Lin Xi jumped down from a house.
He walked in front of Bian Linghan and others, and stood in front of the corpse of the black-faced farmer.
"This person is not a practitioner."
Bian Linghan raised his eyes from the corpse of the black-faced farmer and looked at Lin Xi who had taken off her bamboo hat. Her face was a little pale and her hands and feet were trembling slightly.
"Probably not a cultivator." Lin Xi nodded and said, "But he is a dead soldier."
Lin Xi naturally wouldn't tell any cold jokes at this time.
Naturally, Yun Qin's "death warriors" do not refer to dead people, but to followers who are kept by some people and can die for them at any time.
"what happened?"
Jiang Xiaoyi looked at Wang Simin, who was also splattered with blood and had no color on her face. She turned to look at Lin Xi, took a deep breath and asked, "Aren't you talking to someone about something?"
He really couldn't understand why Lin Xi suddenly appeared in this street wearing a raincoat and a bamboo hat when he was obviously discussing things with a businessman, and happened to stop the assassin from assassinating him.
"I also want to know what's going on?"
Lin Xi couldn't explain, and didn't want to make any excuses, so he didn't explain. He just glanced at Wang Simin, and then turned the black-faced farmer over.
He checked the black-faced farmer man's body very carefully, but there was nothing under his clothes.
"Have you seen this person before?" Lin Xi, who found nothing, stood up and looked at Wang Simin standing aside in the gentlest tone and asked.
Wang Simin shook his head and said softly: "No."
Lin Xi nodded, without saying anything, turned around and quickly walked into the house that the black-faced farmer man had just walked out of.
This is a long and narrow bungalow squeezed into an alley. There are only two small patios among the three houses, so the three connected long and narrow houses are very dark inside.
Lin Xi was walking in this dark house. The one closest to the alley was a low kitchen with a large stove built in. There was nothing unusual about it.
Moving forward, there was a bedroom in the middle. As soon as he entered this bedroom, he smelled a hint of blood.
…
Bian Linghan and Jiang Xiaoyi were waiting outside.
At this moment, some people have discovered that a murder occurred in this alley. Because someone recognized Jiang Xiaoyi, after the initial panic, someone also went to notify other people in the arrest room.
"How about it?"
Looking at Lin Xi walking out of the house after the search, both of them asked in a low voice.
"There is an old man who died inside, and was covered in the quilt... he should be the resident." Lin Xi glanced at the body of the black-faced farmer on the ground, "This is a veteran, very clean, and did not leave any useful clues."
"Where are you from? How could such an assassin suddenly come to assassinate you?" Bian Linghan took a deep breath and couldn't help but turn to look at Wang Simin, who was standing with his head lowered.
Wang Simin trembled slightly, opened her mouth, but could not say anything for a moment.
"I know a little bit about her origins. Let's talk about it later when we go back to the arresting room." Looking at more and more people gathering around her, Lin Xi glanced at Jiang Xiaoyi again and said softly.
"you know?"
Bian Linghan was slightly startled. Seeing Lin Xi's affirmative expression, she stopped asking any more questions.
Du Weiqing and others who had been promoted to acting arrest hurriedly arrived. After Lin Xi stated what happened here, he asked Du Weiqing and others to handle the scene. However, he, Bian Linghan, Jiang Xiaoyi, and Wang Simin went back to arrest first.
house.
…
…
"Thank you, sir."
In the arrest room, watching Lin Xi bring a cup of hot tea and watching Jiang Xiaoyi and Bian Linghan exit to another room first, Wang Simin bit her lips and bowed deeply to Lin Xi.
"This is my job." Lin Xi said harmoniously: "No need to be polite."
"In Yingoufang, you have already saved my life, so this time I thank you not because you saved my life, but because of something else." Wang Simin said sadly: "Your Excellency, I think you know about Yingoufang.
For us women, these are scars in our hearts that are difficult to heal. Taking my self-esteem into consideration, I did not ask any more questions in front of so many people, but took me back to the arresting room for private questioning."
"No matter what others think, I don't think this Yingoufang incident is a stain on you. It was precisely because of your steadfastness that you were whipped like this. And I know that on the day when I rescued you,
You fainted because you refused to die and went on a hunger strike for many days." Lin Xi looked at Wang Simin, shook her head, and said seriously, "This can only make me respect you more, if I have a heart for you.
, I will never dislike you because of this, but will cherish you even more."
Wang Simin's breathing paused for a moment, and she raised her head in disbelief, but she saw Lin Xi's eyes were extremely sincere.
Lin Xi's words were extremely common for the world he was familiar with. Such words were common in many soap operas. However, this was Yunqin, a completely different and extremely conservative world.
She didn't expect that Lin Xi would actually say such a sentence. She has a very strong temperament. Even now, her family cannot accept her and think that she should not live in this world in order to prove her chastity and heroism. She still doesn't
She shed a tear in front of others, but she still relied on her own hands to live in Donggang Town. However, at this moment, her eyes were completely blurred.
"Actually, what I did today was not only to protect your self-esteem, but also because of my friend Jiang Xiaoyi." What made her pause again and her body tremble violently was that Lin Xi said again at this moment.
This sentence came out.
"I don't know what happened between you." Lin Xi looked at her and smiled, trying his best not to talk about the case first to make the atmosphere more relaxed. "But I'm not blind. I can see that he has some feelings for you. I
It can also be seen that you also have a crush on him, but because of your experience like Silver Hook Fang, you have a grudge in your heart and want to avoid him unconsciously."
"If it were me...I wouldn't mind such a thing like you, but I can't completely influence other people's opinions...so I have to give him some time and it would be better to take it slow in a gentler way." He looked at his body shaking even more.
The powerful Wang Simin, Lin Xi said seriously: "As for love between men and women, whether you like it or not, personal character is the most important, and everything else is secondary."
"Master Lin."
Wang Simin raised her head, tears like pearls dripping down drop by drop from her fair face covered with faint bloodstains, "Thank you, sir...not for anything else, just for your words."
"Live for yourself and those who appreciate you, so why care about the eyes of those who can't appreciate you." Lin Xi smiled and said.
Wang Simin nodded heavily. Thinking of what Lin Xi had done, these words made her feel deeply.
Lin Xi waited quietly for her to stop crying, watched her calm down, nodded to himself, and then he began to open the case file and said: "Then let's start to see what happened today."
