Sign in at the beginning of the day

Chapter 40 Night Detective
After the finalization, it was already night.

Jiangnan and the monk each asked for a room.

Originally, Jiangnan planned to give Rabbit a room alone.

But she was a little resistant to this. It seemed that the noisy environment in the restaurant made her very uneasy.

There was no other way but to ask the boss to add an extra bed.

After closing the door, Jiang Nan sorted out the clues in front of him.

First of all, as for the place where the blue lantern is lit, it can be basically determined according to the geographical location, it should be in the sacrificial mansion in the center of Shanyuan City.

Second, what exactly happened in Shanyuan.

Regarding the river water taken out from the embankment, Jiangnan did not find anything unusual.

According to Qingluo, this is normal river water.

But when Jiangnan took out the river water, Rabbit Girl showed extreme disgust and fear.

Rabbit girl was originally from the town, the people in the town were destroyed for some reason, and even the corpse capital was burned to the ground.

And the monk found the news that "the river water is poisonous" from the other villages and towns that were also destroyed.

In addition, Shanyuan City sent troops to block the river embankment and hunt down half-human, half-beast.

All the clues came together, and Jiang Nan had a faint conjecture about the whole incident in his heart.

Something should have happened in Shanyuan City, causing some kind of change in the water flowing to the lower reaches of the Wei River.

And this change has caused the people who drink the river water to have a mutation that is half human and half animal like a rabbit girl.

Therefore, in order not to be exposed, the high-level officials of Shanyuan chose to send people to pretend to be bandits to loot the villages and towns that had changed, and to hunt down sporadic escapees.

Like bunny girl.

And there are still many questions.

What exactly is polluting the river, what role does Shanyuan City Order play in it, and why did monk Xuhai travel thousands of miles to Shanyuan to find out the cause and effect...

None of this is known yet.

But now there is a breakthrough - Adjutant Liu.

It was he who sent people to hunt down Rabbit Girl. As long as he could pry open his mouth, he would surely get a lot of news.

So how to meet him?

In the blink of an eye, Monk Xu Hai came up with the next plan - Ye Clan the Adjutant's Mansion.

Jiangnan can see it.

This monk is full of benevolence, righteousness and morality, and his heart is ridiculously dark behind his back.

He didn't do anything serious monks did.

But Jiangnan still agreed with the plan.

First, because he killed Lieutenant Liu's person in the daytime, the other party will receive the news sooner or later;
Second, because of the city gate defenders, when they wake up in a few days, Jiangnan and Xuhai monks will be extremely passive;
In short, it is too late to change.

Settle down the sleeping bunny girl and let Qingluo guard her.

I hope the girl hasn't woken up when he comes back.

Jiangnan pushed out the door and came to the monk's room.

When he opened the door, he saw a figure in a dark night clothes with a grimace mask on his head.

A familiar voice came out: "Donor Jiang, change your clothes quickly."

Jiang Nan looked at a set of night clothes and masks that had not changed much on the table, and smacked his lips.

Is this what a serious monk should have?

Then... he changed his clothes swiftly.

The two dark figures, covered from head to tail, looked at each other and jumped out of the windowsill.
.
Shanyuan Adjutant's Office.

As a messenger higher than the left and right, Shanyuan's second-in-command, his mansion covers an extremely wide area, carved beams and painted buildings, and it is brightly lit even at night.

Between the courtyards, two guards are patrolling with lights.

One of them, a burly and older one, walked in front.

The colleagues in the back were thinner and younger. They followed closely behind the burly guards and couldn't help complaining:

"Brother Zhou, what are you talking about these days?"

"Why are there so many people missing in the house?"

"We also need to patrol night after night..."

The burly guard snorted: "Xiao Xu, this year is the eighth year that you, Brother Zhou, and I have worked in the adjutant's mansion, and I am considered the oldest generation."

"Most of the people who came in with me have lost their lives. Do you know why?"

"why?"

The burly guard gave him a cold look, "Because only I know—what you shouldn't ask, don't ask; what you shouldn't care about, don't care about. Be obedient, do what you do, that's enough."

The little guard was terrified.

But my heart is still unhappy.

This is the lieutenant's office.

In other imperial power countries, it is also the status of a high-ranking court official.

Which eye-opener, dare to come to be troublesome?

Unless you don't want to die... eh?what is that?
With a flash in front of his eyes, he saw a ferocious grimace mask flash, and the back of his head was dizzy, and he fell to the ground.

The burly guard is naturally the same.

So the two guards fell on the soft turf.

Two pitch-black shadows skillfully dragged their bodies into the hidden garden.

Then continue towards the mansion.

Along the way, quietly.

In Adjutant Liu's room, green velvet and fur are on the floor, golden lamps are hung on the wall, and incense burners with fragrant aromas are placed in the four corners.

On the reclining chair, a middle-aged man in fancy clothes squinted slightly.

He was slightly fat, fair-skinned, and a harmonious color between his brows.

Gives a sense of intimacy.

But anyone who knows Adjutant Liu knows that this is a famous smiling tiger.

Joy and anger are invisible, killing people without blinking an eye.

A beautiful maid was sitting on the edge of a chair, holding a plate of fruit in her hand.

Take one out, hold it in your mouth, and put it in the mouth of Adjutant Liu.

At this moment, a hoarse voice suddenly came from the room with only the two of them.

"Master, Coach Chen has not heard any news for a day."

In this regard, the beautiful maid seems to have become accustomed to it.

Beside this adjutant Liu, there is always a shadow-like existence, who can only hear his body but not see his person.

Adjutant Liu frowned slightly, making that face less cordial and more gloomy.

"understood."

His voice was sharp and thin, with a hint of anger.

The maid's delicate body trembled, as if thinking of something terrifying, and her mouth moved more cautiously.

"We will send some more people tomorrow, and we must catch all the fish that slip through the net."

After a moment of silence, Adjutant Liu swallowed a grape stained with the maid's saliva and commanded.

But there was no response for a long time.

"shadow?"

Adjutant Liu shouted again, but there was still no response.

He suddenly opened his eyes, but saw the maid fell to the ground, already in a coma.

Two figures in dark night clothes and ferocious masks appeared in front of him.

Although they are wearing masks, their expressions cannot be seen.

But Adjutant Liu thought to himself that those two faces must be full of ridicule.

"who are you?!"

"How dare you trespass the official residence!"

Adjutant Liu turned over and bounced up.

He was also a martial artist at the time. Although he had been enjoying himself all these years, the foundation was still there.

However, the two men in black did not answer him.

One of them flipped his wrist, and a long sword flew out of the shadow in the corner.

Adjutant Liu's expression changed.

This sword is a thing of the shadow, and now it has been summoned by the man in black, indicating that the shadow... has lost the power to act.

Thinking of this, Adjutant Liu's heart sank.

In an instant, the sword flashed in the air and came to him.

The icy chill pressed against his neck, making his skin tingle, and the threat of death swept his face.

Bean-sized beads of sweat dripped from Adjutant Liu's head.

"Two...two...there...have something to say..."

"I ask, you answer."

"If you say it wrong, your head will move."
