"What's going on?" Qian You stood up and was about to walk out of the hut when Ruan Xingzhu grabbed him and said, "Senior brother, don't worry, Xiao Zhong hasn't moved there, let's take a look first."
She was familiar with Ding Zhong's aura and habits, so she might not be able to find the security director in the dark so quickly if she changed the forbidden method.
Qian You might have spent too much time with Ding Kui, and he was used to taking orders and didn't want to dominate others. "There is indeed a problem." After saying this, he sat down again.
Several women came out from the backstage, and the tall and thin one at the head was none other than Ding Kui's publicity general Qian Yilin.
When she came to the stage, Qian Yilin turned around and said, "Sister Xiulan, please go and see the old man on the ground."
A woman with a dull expression walked out behind her, which was in great contrast to the art troupe of beauties.
The woman walked quickly towards the old man on the ground, but before she could get close, she was stopped by the crying man and woman.
"You killed my father, and you still want to destroy the body and eliminate all traces? There are officials here, get out of here!" It seemed like a dutiful son reached out to push Sister Xiulan away.
Ding Zhong's eyes rolled in the darkness.
Sister Xiulan paused on her feet and shook her body. Seeing the "filial son's" hand reaching out, she turned her shoulders and bumped into the "filial son's" hand. "Oh!" she yelled and fell back.
"Xiulan's acting skills are no worse than those from the art troupe." Qianyou couldn't help but sigh.
"Fortunately, I arranged for her to follow the art troupe." Ruan Xingzhu raised his chin proudly.
The "Sister Xiulan" in Qian Yilin's mouth was Zhang Xiulan. She pretended to be pushed down by her "filial son" and rubbed her shoulders in pain.
The "filial son" was stunned, not expecting the other party to be so weak.
Qian Yilin raised her eyebrows and pointed at the man who pushed him: "Why do you hit people? The matter is not clear yet, so don't spray blood on them!"
"Hey, hey, what are you doing! Do you think I don't exist?" Inspector Pang pointed at the "filial son" and said, "Step aside."
Lao Ou, who was checking the old man's condition, turned his head and shouted: "Everyone, get away. That little lady, don't come over. This person is really dead."
He pointed at the fat patrolman: "Commander Duan is here and he will definitely find out about this matter, so don't make any trouble!"
Qian Yilin quickly stepped forward and helped Zhang Xiulan up, "How is it? Did you fall?"
"It's okay." Zhang Xiulan stood up and took a peek at the deceased on the ground. "The face is black, he must have died from poison." She said the last part very quietly.
The fat patrolman walked over with a figure-footed step and said, "Are you the person in charge of the troupe?"
"We are from the cultural troupe of the Red Army for the Protection of the Country. I will temporarily lead the team this time. You are the headman, Mr. Duan. I would like to help you find out what happened today." Qian Yilin directly revealed her name as the Red Army for the Protection of the Country.
Although Yanling County was under the rule of the imperial court and obeyed Shao Dianxi's orders, everyone in the local government knew that Ding Kui was not someone to be trifled with, at least not by Yanling County. Otherwise, why not send troops to attack Nanqiu County?
The red army protecting the country made a great name when its own country invaded. Not to mention ordinary policemen and arresters, even the local army did not dare to take the initiative to provoke.
The cultural troupe has staged such a big battle, how could the local people not know their details? Duan Baotou did not expect Qian Yilin to be so direct.
"Uh, cough, cough, cough, what do you call this little lady?" He did not mention the origin of the art troupe.
"My husband's surname is Hu, you can call me Hu." Qian Yilin refers to herself as Hu to the outside world, so many people in the territory call her Minister Hu.
"Oh, Mrs. Hu."
"I don't dare. How can I, a humble citizen, be worthy of being called a lady?"
"You, come here." Duan Baotou pointed to the "filial son", "What is your name? What is the name of the deceased? What does it have to do with you?"
"Little Min Tian Tianguang, the person on the ground is my father. I can't say his name directly."
"The official asked you what's the inconvenience," Duan said, getting impatient.
"Yes, yes, my father's name is Tian Quanwu."
Poof, Ruan Xingzhu laughed, "One is Tian Tianguang, the other is Tian Quanwu, these are good names for the father and son."
These two people were clearly here to cause trouble, and she had no good impression of them at all.
"Why do you insist that someone from the theater troupe killed your father?" Duan asked.
"Xiao Min saw with his own eyes that someone from the troupe took a few pictures of my dad and then ran away." Tian Tianguang stared at Qian Yilin, his eyes red and bloodshot.
"Nonsense! Why did our people want to kill your father? What's the point of attacking an audience before the performance even started?" Qian Yilin showed no sign of weakness.
"How do you prove that the person filming your father is from the theater troupe?" Duan Duan did not care about Qian Yilin.
"This is the third day Xiaomin has come to the theater with his father. Everyone in the troupe always knows a thing or two about it, so he will never mistake it." Tian Tianguang didn't let up at all.
"I think you are just here to cause trouble. We are from Nanqiu County and have no grievances against you. It makes no sense to kill people in front of your own place. You said you recognize one of our people, then tell me what that person does.
?What roles have you played? What do you look like? How tall are you? What clothes do you wear?..." Qian Yelin asked a dozen questions in a row.
Tian Tianguang hesitated and couldn't answer.
"With so many questions, who remembers it? We'll find out when we search at the back! Do you think so?" The crying woman suddenly shouted to the crowd of onlookers.
"Yes! Go and search in the back!" someone from the crowd responded immediately.
Duan Baotou then turned to Qian Yilin and said, "You all have your own opinions. The easiest way is for me to lead Tian Tianguang to the back and take a look.
If the murderer is caught, I will take him back for interrogation. If not, I will take Tian Tianguang back for interrogation. What do you think of Mrs. Hu?"
He was unsure of Qian Yelin's true identity and insisted on calling her Madam.
"There are many women living in the back, so it would be inconvenient for you to search us. Besides, we are innocent people, and it doesn't make sense for someone to throw dirty water on us and become a suspect."
Xiaomin can arrange for the team members to check it. If there is a stranger, take it immediately and bring it out to Mr. Duan." Qian Yilin was unwilling to let outsiders search the backstage.
There is a row of bungalows behind the stage that the cultural troupe rents for its members.
"What? How dare you not listen to what the officials say! I see that you clearly want to harbor the murderer, pity my father!" Tian Tianguang cried again.
"Found it!" Lao Ou shouted.
He took off the deceased's clothes and found, "There was a small hole on Tian Quanwu's back shoulder. The area around the hole turned black, as if he had been stabbed by a poisonous needle."
Duan Baotou walked over to check, and Qian Yilin, Zhang Xiulan and Tian Tianguang also gathered around.
"What kind of poison?" Duan Baotou asked.
"I don't know, it's a very powerful poison. This is the first time I've seen it. There should be no such poison in the county." After speaking, Lao Ou glanced at Qian Yilin.
"It must be them!" Tian Tianguang looked at Qian Yilin and Zhang Xiulan fiercely.
"Then I'm sorry!" Captain Duan said very seriously, "Now that there is evidence to suspect that it was your people, I will search your place now."
"How dare you! I want to go back and report to my family, can you afford it?" Qian Yilin simply carried Ding Kui out.
Duan Baotou was hesitant. If there was a falling out, he might not get any good results.
"Haha, it turns out that your master sent you out to commit murder!"
As soon as Tian Tianguang finished speaking, he suddenly rushed towards Qian Yilin, holding a gleaming dagger in his right hand.
"Oops!" Qian You stood up immediately.
Ruan Xingzhu looked at Ding Zhong in confusion. There seemed to be no one in the darkness. She was not too worried about Qian Yilin's safety because she saw that Tian Tianguang's combat power was not even level three.
At this time, Zhang Xiulan struck out like lightning, grabbed Tian Tianguang's wrist in her mouth, and swept her right foot out from the ground, hitting Tian Tianguang's feet right in the middle.
"Stop!" Mr. Duan's response was half a beat too slow before he reached out to grab Tian Tianguang.
Several women who followed Qian Yilin and Zhang Xiulan hugged each other in fear, "Protect Minister Qian!" Someone from the background shouted and ran out, including several tall male band members.
Zhang Xiulan twisted her backhand and threw Tian Tianguang towards Duan Baotou, "Oops!" As soon as she let go, she noticed a fierce look flashed in Tian Tianguang's eyes.
Duan Baotou grabbed Tian Tianguang's arm and pulled it toward him, while using his other hand to grab the dagger.
"Bah!" Tian Tianguang raised his head and sprayed Duan Baotou in the face.
A ray of cold light shot out from his mouth. Duan Baotou was unable to dodge and was hit in the face by the cold light.
Lao Ou suddenly stood up and reached for the short stick at his waist, but before his hand could reach it, his other hand reached out and the woman with Tian Tianguang stabbed him with a dagger.
"It's broken!" Ding Zhong shouted in a low voice, using his toes hard and sliding his body backwards.
He did not run to the front of the stage, but ran to the backstage.
Someone in the crowd shouted: "Kill people! The traitors from Nanqiu County are coming to kill!" Several of them rushed out with swords in hand, targeting Qian Yilin.
This sudden change was beyond everyone's expectation. Originally, Tian Tianguang wanted to kill Qian Yilin, but instead he plotted against Capt. Duan, and his companions assassinated Capt. Lao Ou!
"The rebels from Nanqiu County are coming!" The onlookers felt chills in their hearts, and they turned around and ran away without saying anything.
This is not impossible. Ding Kui conquered several counties in the south in one fell swoop. It is said that he will fight back sooner or later. Qian Yilin just said that they are members of the Red Army protecting the country. It is logical for Ding Kui's people to raid Yanling County.
"What should I do?" Qian You was a little confused and couldn't understand the situation at all.
He was not worried about Qian Yilin's safety because he saw Lu Ying and Ding Fen running out from backstage and those in front of the stage would not be their opponents.
Ruan Xingzhu was shouting in his heart to calm down and said: "We have to prepare to deal with the local army in the county and city. Let them deal with it now."
The head of the county was arrested and killed. The suspect was a member of the Red Army protecting the country. The local army would definitely be dispatched.
Zhang Xiulan pushed Qian Yilin, "Take them back first, I'll deal with them here."
Tian Tianguang pushed away Duan Baotou who fell on him and got up from the ground. He saw that Duan Baotou's face was completely black and he was 90% dead.
His companion pulled out the dagger stuck in Lao Ou's waist, kicked Lao Ou over, and shouted: "Master Qian, we have succeeded, let's retreat first!"
The two men spread their legs and ran outside.
"Sister Fen, leave them behind!" Zhang Xiulan picked up the short stick on the ground and stopped several big men who rushed out of the crowd.
"Okay!" Ding Fen drew her bow and fired an arrow as she ran. Whoosh, whoosh, three short arrows shot at Tian Tianguang and his sister.
"What about me? Who should I hit?" Lu Ying was a little dumbfounded.
