Hearing Qin Shaoyou's words, not only the servants in Tianya Courtyard were stunned, but also the night watchmen were all shocked.
At this time, the differences between the several groups of people can be seen.
Before Sun Xiaoqi and the others could react, Zhu Xiucai, Ma Monk and other Qin Shaoyou's men had already dispersed with their swords in hand.
Someone was watching the surroundings of Tianya Courtyard, and was not allowed in or out.
Someone took control of the boy and interrogated him: "What happened inside? Why is there the smell of blood?"
The boy was confused, especially when he saw Qin Shaoyou and the others touching the knife, he was even more frightened and anxious, and almost cried.
"We are doing serious business here. We won't let the dancers come over when they are menstruating. How come there is a smell of blood? Sir, are you making a mistake?"
Qin Shaoyou ignored the boy and just kept twitching his nose.
In the past few days, Qin Shaoyou has killed many demons and ghosts and created many new recipes.
Relying on these magical spiritual dishes, he not only strengthened his blood, muscles, and bones, but also enhanced his five senses.
After going through life and death tests again and again, he became particularly sensitive to the smell of blood.
But it's just that I'm sensitive.
He has not yet reached the point where he can immediately tell the direction of the smell of blood when he smells it.
After all, not everyone has a nose like Su Tingyu.
At this time, Zhu Xiucai carefully identified the smell in the air and said calmly: "There is indeed a smell of blood, but it is diluted by the smell of wine and rouge, so it is not obvious."
Qin Shaoyou nodded. With Zhu Xiucai, he could be sure that it was not his illusion.
Although he didn't want to meddle in other people's business, the Demon Suppression Department had rules. If a case was encountered in the city, if one did not investigate whether it was a demon or ghost, he would be punished.
Moreover, the smell of human blood in such a place reminded him of the ghosts in erotic paintings.
Since the main messenger behind the ghost in the painting can let the ghost hide in the erotic painting to harm people and steal the yang energy and blood, can he also let the ghost hide in the cat-catching alley to attract customers?
Qin Shaoyou immediately made arrangements: "Leave a few people to watch the gate and the courtyard wall. Don't let anyone leave. The others will follow me in to have a look."
Entering Tianya Courtyard, Qin Shaoyou glanced at the situation inside.
The courtyard is not small in size. There are lanterns hanging around it, but the light is not bright. It seems to be deliberately creating a dark and hazy feeling.
In the center of the courtyard is a dance floor.
Men and women hug each other and dance slowly on the dance floor, with expressions of enjoyment or intoxication.
On the right side of the dance floor, there is a group of musicians playing the flute and sheng to cheer up the people on the dance floor.
In front of the dance floor, there are several rows of seats.
Guests who come to dance will get a seat of their own under the arrangement of the waiter.
After they are tired from dancing, they can return to their seats to rest, and drinks and snacks are provided.
The area on the left side of the dance floor is where the dancers rest.
If someone likes a certain dancer, they can come here and drag her to the dance floor to perform a song, or they can go directly behind the curtain on the dance floor to have in-depth communication.
Looking around, everything seemed to be normal in the yard, nothing unusual.
At this time, several burly guards were also eyeing Qin Shaoyou and others.
They didn't hear what Qin Shaoyou and others said, but saw them wearing knives and sullen faces. They also saw the waiter's face full of panic, tears in his eyes, and a pitiful look. They thought they were here to stir up trouble.
people.
Several nursing staff came over immediately and stopped Qin Shaoyou and others.
But before they could announce their names and say harsh words, they heard a scream coming from behind the curtain on the dance floor: "Someone is dead——"
The caller was obviously frightened, and his voice was so high that it overwhelmed the music played by the musicians.
Sure enough, something happened!
Qin Shaoyou, Zhu Xiucai, Monk Ma and others immediately ran towards the direction where the exclamation came from.
The nursing staff subconsciously tried to stop them, but Zhu Xiucai took out his badge and shouted in a cold voice: "The Demon Suppression Department is doing business, I have nothing to do..."
Before he could finish his sentence, the nursing staff had already moved out of the way.
These nursing homes may have the courage to confront the government officials and police officers, but they would never dare to stab the people of the Demon Suppression Department, otherwise their death would be in vain.
Not only did they not have the guts to fight, they also diligently led the way and asked if there was anything they needed help with.
Sun Xiaoqi and others couldn't help but stamp their feet and curse: "Damn, something really happened! I came back after working hard outside. I thought I could relax, but I didn't expect that I got into trouble again. It's really unlucky!"
Even if they criticize others, they still have professional capabilities.
The two flags immediately arranged manpower, either to help control the gate to prevent people from leaving, or to control the crowd that was in chaos because of the dead person. They also asked the servant and the nurse: "Do you have a side door or a back door here?"
After getting the answer, he immediately sent someone, with the servants and the nurse to take them to guard the side door and the back door, and not let anyone leave.
After doing this, they began to regret again, why didn't they bring a knife?
If, like Qin Shaoyou, Zhu Xiucai and others, they bring weapons with them, they will be able to deal with sudden situations more calmly and confidently.
"You have to learn from Qin Xiaoqi in the future. You must keep your sword close to your body in case of emergency."
Sun Xiaoqi and others sighed secretly.
At this time, Qin Shaoyou, Zhu Xiucai and others had already arrived behind the curtain on the dance floor.
There were small rooms covered with curtains. At this moment, many people ran out and were surrounding the door of one of the small rooms.
Qin Shaoyou and the others separated from the crowd and walked over.
Just looking at this small room, there is a man without pants, lying in a pool of blood, not knowing whether he is alive or dead.
Blood flowed from his five senses, including his eyes, ears, mouth, and nose. It was scary to look at. The blood not only dyed his entire face and upper body red, but also formed a pool of blood on the ground.
Zhu Xiucai leaned down, felt the man's breath, touched his wrist and chest, raised his head and said, "Sir, he is dead."
Qin Shaoyou nodded, looked at the panicked crowd around him, and asked, "Has anyone seen how he died?"
Most people didn't see it, after all, they were working in a small room at that time.
There were only a few people waiting in line for the room, who looked at each other vaguely and answered in a variety of ways:
"He was doing errands with a dancer in the room, and suddenly he roared, and then the dancer ran out in panic, and he fell to the ground."
"Yes, I saw it too, that's what happened. After the man fell, I came over to see what was wrong with him, and I saw blood on his facial features. I was so scared that my feet went weak."
"He is a type of cataract! I have seen someone die before, with his facial features bleeding and his whole face as purple as an eggplant. It is quite scary."
Will it be windy soon?
If the wind is really blowing, then it is an accident. Not only is it not murder, but it has nothing to do with demons?
Qin Shaoyou frowned slightly and asked these witnesses: "Where is the dancer who was with him before? Where did she go?"
Several witnesses shook their heads:
"have no idea."
"Did not notice."
"You were scared and you hid, right? If it were me, I would hide too."
Qin Shaoyou asked these people again if they had clearly seen the appearance of the dancer. When he saw someone raising his hand, he called to Zhu Xiucai: "Take them to identify the person, find the dancer, and see if there is anything wrong with her."
After a while, Wu Zuo came. After examining the deceased, he ruled out other causes of death and determined that it was due to sudden stroke.
However, the man recognized the identity of the deceased.
Speaking of which, this person is still a colleague of his father Qin Daoren - Yan Liu, the prison clerk in the government office.
When Qin Shaoyou mentioned the torture chamber, he thought of two cases in Wujiabao and Mianyuan counties.
In these two cases, if there are connections in the government office to help cover up, then the torture chamber will definitely not be bypassed.
So, did Yan Liu really just die in an accident caused by Ma Feng?
Or is it that he was related to a certain case, knew too much, and was silenced?
Soon, Zhu Xiucai and others found the dancing girl with the help of witnesses.
After some cross-examination, Wu Ji admitted that Yan Liu was with her when he died.
But Wu Ji said that she and Yan Liu had not known each other before, and it was just a one-time transaction.
Qin Shaoyou used the [Bright Eyes] talent to carefully observe the dancer. Apart from being a little weak, he found nothing wrong with her.
After Zhu Xiucai and several strong men who were good at interrogation interrogated the dancing girl, they also reported to Qin Shaoyou: "Sir, she doesn't seem to be lying."
Mai Ji did not lie, and Wu Zuo did not find out any other cause of death.
In this way, Yan Liu's death really had nothing to do with monsters, nor was it murder, but just an accident?
Qin Shaoyou thought about it in his heart, but did not rush to a conclusion.
He squinted his eyes and looked at the wall of the room where Yan Liushen died.
There, there was a picture of an erotic palace hanging.
