Volume 1: The Case of the Talented Linzhou Chapter 11: The Disappearing Ship
"It's him!" These two words appeared in Duan Ming's mind. The man in front of him was clearly the one who killed Sun Wuzuo before!
Unexpectedly, this person did not escape, but stayed in Linyang City!
However, Duan Ming had no time to think too much at this moment, as the long knife had already come to Duan Ming's eyes with a biting chill.
With his life and death in danger, Duan Ming's body burst out with great strength, his arms suddenly exerted force, and his body rolled again.
"Dang!" The long knife fell to the ground again.
A trace of annoyance flashed in the big man's eyes. It was the same last time. The guy in front of him was like a loach, always able to dodge his attacks.
If it weren't for his messy steps and extreme embarrassment, the big man would have thought he was an expert hermit!
When passers-by saw what was going on here, they all stayed away, and no one dared to step forward to interfere.
Vendors even carried their belongings away early to avoid being accidentally affected.
At this moment, several government officials came over after hearing the news. When they saw the situation here, they immediately shouted loudly.
"Who dares to commit murder in the city! Don't stop yet!" As he spoke, one of the strongest government officials had already drawn the simple knife from his waist and came forward.
"A murder was committed in the city in broad daylight. How audacious!" Several other government officials also rushed forward.
Although the big man's martial arts skills are very high, he still can't stand up to so many government officials, especially the leading one, whose martial arts skills are not even half a point weaker than those of the officials from the Mingjing Division!
Seeing that the movement was getting louder, the big man knew that he would not be able to kill Duan Ming this time.
So the big man didn't want to fight anymore, turned around and ran away, and several government officials hurriedly chased him.
However, just after turning two corners, the big man had disappeared.
Several government officials returned to the street. The leading government official looked at Duan Ming, who was in extremely embarrassed condition, and said with a smile: "Who do I think you are? I didn't expect it to be Nancheng Lame Sixth. You are clearly not lame in your legs and feet."
"Zhao, please stop making fun of me." Duan Ming patted the dirt on his body and said to the government servants with a wry smile on his face: "But I still want to thank you all for the rescue."
"Haha, just thanking you is not enough." Zhao Yamen, the leader, patted Duan Ming on the shoulder: "Chun Yulou, our brothers have been coveting it for a long time."
Chunyu Tower, one of the third floors in Linyang City, is the best restaurant in Linyang City. It is known as "If you don't enter Chunyu Tower in Linyang, you will never visit Linzhou".
In the past, Duan Ming only listened. After all, Duan Ming was penniless in the past, and it was already rare to eat an old man Liu steamed bun, let alone Chunyu Tower? But now...
"Okay, another day, another day I will definitely invite you all to Chunyu Tower for a good meal." Duan Ming said with a smile.
With the mountain of Mirror Division at his back, it was just a meal, Duan Ming really didn't care, since it wasn't his own money he spent.
"Haha, thank you very much, Boss Duan!" the leading Yamen Officer Zhao said with a smile.
Worried that Duan Ming would be attacked again, Zhao Yamen and others did not leave immediately, but escorted Duan Ming along the way.
When Zhao Yamen and others saw Duan Ming walking straight into the Mirror Department, they were stunned.
No wonder Duan Ming didn't hesitate at all just now. Zhao Yamen and the others thought Duan Ming had picked up gold, but they didn't expect it to be because of this.
After waving his hands, Duan Ming said goodbye to Yamen Zhao and others, and then went straight to the morgue.
As soon as I arrived at the morgue, I saw Xing Qianqiu standing there with a face as cold as frost.
"Mr. Duan?" Xing Qianqiu looked at Duan Ming who was extremely embarrassed and frowned: "What happened?"
"Old Xing, that killer is still in the city. I just met him." Duan Ming replied.
"What!" Xing Qianqiu narrowed his eyes slightly and his face became even more ugly: "Were you attacked again?"
"Yeah." Duan Ming nodded and told Xing Qianqiu what happened just now.
"Damn it, how could this Liu Zhi make such a big omission!" Xing Qianqiu said solemnly: "I will send people to search door to door in a moment!"
"No need." Duan Ming shook his head: "The other party dared to attack me in broad daylight, which shows that he is not afraid of investigation. Instead of wasting his strength and energy, it is better to use it elsewhere."
"By the way, have you caught up with the ship?" Duan Ming asked.
"I came to you just to talk about this." Xing Qianqiu sighed: "This ship has not sailed far, it is on the downstream shore. I got on the ship and looked at it. Everyone on the ship is dead!"
"Another killing and silence." Duan Ming sighed, then suddenly raised his head: "Wait, something is wrong!"
"Indeed." Xing Qianqiu nodded: "Any ship entering the port will be inspected by the Shipping Department. If there are so many corpses on the ship, they should be discovered."
"That's right." Duan Ming rubbed his forehead: "That means there were no dead people on board when the ship entered the port."
"But if the people on the boat are part of the murderer's group, they can just escape secretly after leaving Linyang City. Why kill them all?"
"If the people on the ship are not from the murderer's group, they are the original crew members. But why should these crew members help the murderer's group? They are oppressed?"
"That's not right. The boat has been parked in Linyang City for two days and two nights. If you are oppressed, you can resist at any time, or at least try to ask for help."
"Something's wrong, everything here is weird."
"Indeed." Xing Qianqiu nodded.
"By the way, Lao Xing, come and smell it." As he said that, Duan Ming led Xing Qianqiu into the morgue, and cut off another piece of yellow cloth while the corners of Xing Qianqiu's eyes kept twitching.
Then soak it in water and bake it over fire.
"Come and smell it." Duan Ming handed the baked yellow cloth to Xing Qianqiu.
Xing Qianqiu smelled it carefully: "This smell is quite good."
"How is it? Do you have any impression?" Duan Ming looked at Xing Qianqiu: "Have you smelled this smell in the past?"
"I've never smelled it." Xing Qianqiu shook his head: "But you can take it to Divine Doctor Song to smell it. Maybe he can know something."
"No." Duan Ming shook his head: "This smell should be the smell of medicinal materials. Therefore, all medical clinics and drug stores are suspicious, and Divine Doctor Song is no exception."
"Moreover, I was attacked just after I left Rendetang today. Even if Divine Doctor Song is not the murderer, there is no guarantee that the Rendetang clerk will not have any problems."
"Indeed." Xing Qianqiu nodded: "Mr. Duan, what are you going to do next?"
"We can only use stupid methods." Duan Ming sighed: "If this matter cannot be spread within the Spiegel Department, then I will go to each drugstore by myself!"
"I'll go with you." Xing Qianqiu thought for a moment and said, "Since that person can attack you a second time, he can attack you a third time! We can't let you be in danger again!"
"Okay." Duan Ming nodded and thought for a moment: "It's getting late now. Tomorrow you and I will go investigate together. I'm in the light and you're in the dark. If that person sneaks up on me, you take action again!"
"Okay." Xing Qianqiu nodded: "This time, we must not let him escape again!" This chapter has been completed!
