Chapter 96 Chasing the Murderer in the Rainy Night
On this day in Jinling, at night, it was raining heavily. The sound of the rain seemed to be like a luthier playing the piano indiscriminately.

At night, Zhuangyuan Street has changed from its usual bustle. Except for a few restaurants and inns that are still lit, only a few grocery stores are still open. pedestrian.

At a glance, on the long street, apart from the dripping splashes, there are only a little bit of light reflected by the stagnant water. In some restaurants, people are still drinking, and in some inns, the tenants have not yet rested. However, under the heavy rain , seem to be very quiet.

At the entrance of the street, in a tavern, more than a dozen coir raincoats were divided into three tables and sat quietly. They ordered three or two small dishes and a jug of wine on each table, but no one drank it. Under the coir raincoat, there are hidden knives that have been unsheathed.

One of them was Xue Hongyi, the head arrester of Zhengqi, the Jinling Criminal Division.

The other men in coir raincoats are all Jinling police officers.

"Tap Tap"

After an unknown amount of time, I suddenly heard the sound of hurried footsteps at the other end of the long street. I looked around and saw a masked man with a big knife running towards him, with a lot of blood on his back.

And behind the masked man, more than a dozen police officers were chasing after him furiously, the ground was splashed with surging water, and the stagnant water was also scattered in all directions. When he stepped down, there was a soft sound.

"on!"

Xue Hongyi slapped the table, and the river-cutter knife at his waist was unsheathed in an instant. He took off the bamboo hat and threw it vigorously, cutting through the rain curtain under the eaves, like blood droplets, tearing through layers of rainwater, and each drop of water was like Like a blade, it flew towards the masked man who was running wildly.

The big man fell back, bent his knees, and rubbed forward, the bamboo hat brushed against his hair, breaking the hair band on the big man's head, instantly letting the masked man's wet hair hang down, becoming more fierce.

Xue Hongyi was the leader, and together with her, sixteen yamen arresters rushed out with their knives drawn, cooperating with the six door arresters, and blocked the roads at both ends of the street.

"I advise you to catch him without a fight, otherwise, shoot him to death!"

The heavy rain fell violently, and water splashed on the street.

The masked man who was running at a high speed stopped suddenly, then looked around, the blade slanted, broke a few drops of water, and said lightly: "32 people."

After all, the masked man's eyes suddenly turned blood red, as if a vast sea of ​​blood was burning, and the air was filled with hatred, infinite hatred!
Swinging the knife, the blade cut through the rain curtain, and the white light was dazzling, instantly lighting up the eyes of the two fast catchers in front. A figure was like a ghost, as if it was close in front of your eyes and far away in the sky.

Blood splashed out and mixed into the rain.The two figures flew upside down, the rain curtain broke, the raindrops exploded, and the blood was like beads, as if connected in a line, but fell vertically in an instant, hit the water, splashed a puddle, and spread rapidly.Bang twice.

The sea of ​​blood in the masked man's eyes was still boiling, and he said in a very flat tone: "Now there are thirty!"

"Insanity!"

Xue Hongyi snorted coldly, crossed his eyes and took a breath, and instantly swung the knife through the dense rain curtain, almost his whole body disappeared into the rain like a gust of wind, the knife pierced the sky, suppressing the distracting thoughts in his heart, he vomited out with a loud shout The turbid air in his heart was like overwhelming momentum, and he slashed out with a domineering knife.

…………

The rain outside the window was drizzling, and a few oil lamps in the room were lighting up. The figure sitting upright leaned against the wall. Du Ruo sat in front of the desk, wisps of tea mist lit up, and the books in his hands were neatly written.

When turning the pages, Du Ruo inadvertently glanced at a pink purse on the corner of the table, and was slightly taken aback. Su Ruyu's face appeared in his mind, and a smile could not help but put down the bag in his hand. Book, picked up the purse.

This purse was a gift from Su Ruyu that day, saying it was a peace talisman.

When mentioning the peace talisman, Du Ruo sighed slightly, before, he had an ugly peace talisman.

Gently untying the knot on the purse, Du Ruo was stunned. It was not a safe talisman at all, but a silver ticket with a value of 50 taels!

Du Ruo thought about it for a while, and guessed that he must have left in Wangjiang Tower in a hurry. Su Ruyu saw the embarrassment in his pocket, and deliberately used this method to help him.

"This...is it a bit embarrassing? This girl must have misunderstood something. I really don't need this little money!"

Du Ruo murmured, put away the purse, and called softly, "Blackhead!"

As soon as the words finished, Heitou came out from behind the bookshelf, cupped his hands and said, "Master."

Du Ruo stood up and put the books on the table back on the shelf, and said, "Go and investigate now to see if Miss Su Ruyu is still in Jinling."

Hei Tou scratched the back of his head, a little confused: "My lord, I don't know if I should say something, don't be angry, I know Miss Su is very beautiful, versatile, and famous, but she is a woman of the world after all. , it’s okay if you take a concubine, but if you... are really inappropriate, it’s not in line with your status to spread the word.”

Du Ruo turned around and said, "What are you thinking about? I'm looking for her for other things, don't think about it, don't say I didn't think about it, even if I have an idea, it won't be now, it will be soon The exam is over, how can I have such free time to love my children!"

Heitou chuckled and said, "That's good, that's good, I'll go find it."

Watching the black head leave with the door, Du Ruo shook her head helplessly. It really is a gap in the age. In the previous life, with Su Ruyu's reputation, she should have been a star shining and sought after by countless people. Into the next class.

In Du Ruo's capacity, if he really took Su Ruyu, it would be a joke in Jianghu, as the black head said.

"Born at the wrong time, why bother!"

Regarding this situation, Du Ruo can only sigh, there is no other way, not to mention that he does not have the strength to change the thinking of this era, even if he has the strength, it is not necessary.

…………

In the middle of the night, Du Ruo heard a mottled noise in his light sleep. It was still raining heavily outside, but there were many chaotic footsteps and chaotic human voices, and the sound became more and more harsh.

Suddenly, Du Ruo pricked up his ears. It seemed that many people rushed into the inn. Everyone in the inn, which was already sleeping, woke up and became even more noisy.

Du Ruo gently pushed open the door, and saw many policemen on the corridor searching everywhere, room by room, at the end, Xue Hongyi in coir raincoat stood with a knife in his hand, with a serious face.

Du Ruo walked over, cupped his hands and said, "Xue Butou, what's the matter?"

Because most of the inn are scholars like Du Ruo, who are dressed in the same clothes and come and go, Xue Hongyi hasn't noticed Du Ruo yet, she didn't notice Du Ruo until Du Ruo said hello, and said: "Catch that serial killer. The murderer, fled to the vicinity and disappeared!"
