The Demon Princess

Chapter 11 Watchdog Murder Case 1
It was dark night.

The gong sounded, and the watchman walked on the dark streets of the imperial city, beating the gong over and over again and shouting
"Air dry things dry, be careful with candles"

"Air dry things dry, be careful with candles"

Suddenly he heard a "dong dong" sound behind him, and a rancid smell in the air became heavier and heavier.

The watchman turned around slowly, trembling.

"what"

A shriek of coarse ore was accompanied by the sound of a gong falling to the ground..
The dark streets of the imperial city returned to silence.

Only the burning lantern on the ground was left to illuminate the watchman who fell on the ground.

Zuiyue Tower

This is a well-known restaurant in the Loulan Imperial City. Most of the people who come here are princes, nobles, officials and wealthy businessmen. A dish costs at least two taels of silver. The restaurant is simply unaffordable for ordinary people.

At this time, on the first floor of Zuiyue Building, because it is not yet noon, there are not many people in the spacious hall. At this time, there are three young men who seem to be around 20 years old sitting around a table on the right side of the door, "Listen Say no, there have been several murders in the past few days." One of the young men in blue brocade clothes said mysteriously.

"Who hasn't heard of it! A cousin of mine who works in the yamen said that the dead are all watchmen who died, and the cause of death is strange. They all died of being drained of blood." A black man next to the man Mr. Yi answered.

Another young man in white, who was sitting opposite the young man in black, interrupted him and teased, "Who is free to come out in the middle of the night except for the shift watcher?"

The young man in blue was dissatisfied that the young man in white interrupted the conversation, so he gave him a blank look, and then looked at the young man in black, "Did your cousin say that he has found out something now?"

"I haven't finished my words yet, the most strange thing is at the back." The young man in black stopped when he said this, took a sip of wine from his glass and sold himself as an official, waiting for the two to ask him what to say next.

Sure enough, seeing him stop, the young man in blue stretched out his hand to push him and said enthusiastically, "Tell me what happened afterwards?"

The young man in white was sipping wine leisurely, and he didn't seem to have much interest in this topic.

The young man in black looked around to make sure no one was paying attention, and then said in a mysterious voice, "The corpses of several watchmen were originally placed in the morgue, but the corpses disappeared after dawn the next day... ".

This statement cannot be heard by others, if it is spread to the government, it will be thrown in prison for bewitching people.

At this time, the blue-clothed boy next to him had a surprised expression on his face, "No way! Someone stole the corpse?"

The young man in white who didn't care at all heard the words, put down the wine glass he was going to put to his mouth and looked at the young man in black with great interest.

Just as the young man in black was about to continue speaking, a person suddenly sat beside him.

The three of them looked at each other, and when they saw the blank look in everyone's eyes, they looked at the sudden person together inexplicably.

"The three elder brothers and younger brothers are on the table next to me. Since I was a child, I like to hear these strange stories. Can you allow me to listen to them together? If the elder brothers don't mind, I will invite you to this table." This person is Long Qing Le, at this time she held a glass of wine and looked at the three of them with a smile on her face.

The young man in blue and the young man in black looked at him, and thought that this man looked good despite his young age, and the table of wine and food would cost dozens of coins.

No one would have trouble with silver, and this person knew that his status must be either rich or noble just by looking at his clothes.

The young man in black said with an apologetic smile, "It's fate to meet each other. If you like to listen to it, you can sit down and listen to it together."

Long Qingle heard the words, "Thank you to the three elder brothers first, and I will introduce myself as Long Qing." After saying that, he picked up the wine glass and drank a glass.

The young man in blue said, "Little brother, you are welcome, my name is Fu Lin"

The young man in black went on to say, "My name is Li Heng." He pointed to the young man in white and said, "His name is Bai Lichen."

Long Qingle poured another glass of wine and said, "Acquaintance is fate, little brother toasts the three elder brothers." After that, he drank the wine in the glass with pride.

She was sitting on the table next to them just now, listening to them talking. Although they deliberately lowered their voices, she still heard every word.

Seeing that their voices were getting quieter, she decisively broke into each other's interior to find out some useful information.
