Sheng Chong and God Investigate the Princess

Chapter 44 Suicide
That night, the night was quiet and the stars were dim.

In a remote alley on the North Street of Fuliang County, there was only darkness.Someone stood in the shadow of a tree at the end of the alley, and couldn't see clearly.

A person hurried over from the alley.A lantern at the gate of a mansion on the street flickered, illuminating her face——

It was Tang Ruoyun.

She was dressed in black, blending into the dark night. If it weren't for the dim light of the lantern, she would not have noticed that someone was walking into the alley.

"Where are the other knives?" Tang Ruoyun walked under the tree, looked around, and immediately asked the person in front of her.

That person was Hong Ba in the morning.He pretended to be a little scared, and while taking out the other knives from the package, he asked tremblingly, "Miss, why did you come here so late, it's so eerie..."

"Stop talking nonsense!" Tang Ruoyun grabbed a few knives at once, swept her eyes, and counted the number, "Is it all here?"

Hong Ba responded, and asked again: "Why do you want so many knives? Anyway, I picked them up, and they are worthless."

"Don't worry about it so much." Tang Ruoyun's tone was somewhat cold.She took out a money bag from her cuff and threw it in front of Hong Ba, "The five liang of silver that I agreed to give you in the morning is here, don't tell anyone."

"Naturally! Naturally!" Hong Ba nodded joyfully, squatting down to pick up the money bag without thinking.

Tang Ruoyun saw him squatting down, defenseless, a cold light flashed in his eyes.She quickly turned the blade of a knife in her hand to Hong Ba, and was about to stab him——

It was too late to say it, and then it was too fast, out of nowhere in the dark night, a dazzling white light flashed!

"Ah—" was accompanied by a scream from the woman.

Tang Ruoyun looked at her right hand. There was a delicate flying knife stuck in her wrist. It was as thin as a cicada's wing, but extremely sharp. It made her heart ache and she couldn't stop bleeding!
"Who!" She raised her head and shouted violently.

Between bowing and looking up, the opportunity has already been missed.Hong Ba raised his head and saw the blade facing him, so he knew what Tang Ruoyun wanted to do.Without thinking too much, he turned and ran.

"Capture the head! Capture the head!"

He yelped a few times in a panic.

It's hard to be a government servant in Fuliang County!To be able to act, and to be in contact with murderers all the time, is simply a job on the tip of a knife!No, this matter is over, and Shen Butou must treat himself to a meal!
Hong Baru thought about it.

At the corner of the alley, a person came.His eyes were slightly cold and his brows were cold. Even in the dark night, he couldn't hide the lonely and stern air on his body.

It was Shen Yasheng.

As soon as Tang Ruoyun saw her face, she knew everything had been revealed.Still thinking of luck in her heart, she clutched her wrist and ran away, hoping to break out of the net.

"Chirp - chirp -"

Ah Qi, who was behind Yayoi, saw that she wanted to run, so she quickly put her finger on her lips and imitated a bird song.A few people jumped out of the alley in an instant, blocking the way out of the alley.

Tang Ruoyun's face was ashen, and all the strength in her body was sucked out.She sat on the ground weakly, and sneered to herself:
"I knew it... I knew it..."

"Know what?" Yayoi heard her whisper, walked up from behind her, and asked coldly.

Tang Ruoyun raised her head, trying not to look so embarrassed.She looked at Yayoi and sneered, "The moment I saw you, I knew that everything I did was too dangerous."

Yayoi's eyes flickered slightly, but he didn't speak.

"Your gaze is too sharp. If someone else is the headhunter, I'm somewhat sure, but you—" Tang Ruoyun's sneer stopped abruptly.

"What are you doing!" A bad premonition suddenly rose in Yayoi's heart, and it was too late for her to react.

——Tang Ruoyun was still standing halfway up, but a stream of blood spurted out of her mouth.

She is dead.

Suicide by poison.

Yayoi didn't react, she stared blankly at her gradually cooling body, but heard people rushing up from both front and back.The footsteps are chaotic, and the light suddenly rises.

The yamen servants came forward with red lanterns: "Shen Butou? Shen Butou! Ah!"

Everyone was terrified by Tang Ruoyun's dead body.Although she died, she did not fall, and there was still a weird smile on her lips.

Aqi was frightened and burst into tears, "Miss... this, what's going on!"

"She was the murderer, but now she committed suicide?" Yayoi seemed to be talking to Aqi, but more like talking to herself, "Why did she commit suicide? There is no need for her to commit suicide."

"Yes, miss, why did she commit suicide?" Ah Qi collected herself, fearful and puzzled.

"There's something strange about this matter. It's definitely not as simple as a murder case." Yayoi turned around slowly, her eyes flickering over everyone's figures, "Not only this case, Xue Ningbi, Meng Jiao and her committed crimes so close together, it seems that they all wanted to What common purpose."

"We have to continue to investigate."

She tried her best today, first let Hong Ba pretend to be a knife seller, and then notified Tang Ruoheng, so that Tang Ruoyun could see the knife in a suitable place.It was the murder weapon of her crime, and there was Hu Wen on it, which made people think of her mother.She had received a note from Yayoi before, and knew that someone secretly knew what she was doing.

It's just that she didn't believe it that day, because she was confident that no one could find evidence.Now that the evidence is in front of her eyes, in order to prevent the incident from being exposed and destroy the evidence, Tang Ruoyun will definitely try to find all the serrated knives that she had to lose that day.

Yayoi's move to lure the snake out of the hole and invite the king into the urn is just to make her crimes more certain.It's just that she didn't expect that she would have such a mind that she could commit suicide by taking poison!

There are so many hidden guards of rich and noble families in Beijing. How can a lady from an official family carry deadly poison with her?

The confusion in Yayoi's heart became deeper and deeper, and she only felt that she was in a thick fog.Although the murderer has been found, everything is still so unclear.

　It's the first day of October, Yayoi will be promoted soon~
　　This September is also really thrilling, there are three murders in a whole month, three femme fatales, the world is really not peaceful.
