On the third day after the heavy rain stopped, another person died in Chunxiao Tower. He died on the bed of a brothel girl.
I also had a good night, but when I woke up the next day, I was already cold.
The manner of death was the same as that of the man last time. There was a stream of blood flowing out of one nostril of the deceased, and there was a faint black smell on his head.
In less than a month, two people died one after another in the Chunxiao Building.
Rumors began to spread,
"The oiran at Chunxiao Tower is a vixen who specializes in sucking men's essence. She has already killed two people!"
"What a vixen? That oiran is a monster in human skin. She looks pretty, but she can eat people!"
"Could it be that someone was jealous of the oiran and deliberately framed her?"
...
Three people are like a tiger, and people are formidable. Soon, the oiran was thrust into the limelight.
The county magistrate ordered that the courtesan Suo be taken into prison, and Chunxiao Tower was forced to close down.
The Oiran was put into prison, and Zhu Xiao wanted to interrogate him personally. As a result, he was handed over by the county magistrate as soon as he entered the prison, and he never came back since then.
The interrogation was unexpectedly handed over to Wang Zhe.
"Well, why me?"
Wang Zhe followed the rules and asked what she was doing last night. The oiran Gu Nianqiu's voice was soft.
She was in the room last night, and the maid can testify that she was not acquainted with the victim.
Under the observation of the "Qi Watching Technique", the Qi on her body was undoubtedly the same as that of ordinary people, and the same was true for her maid.
This seems a bit strange to Wang Zhe.
Such a stunning beauty, I don't know how many people are secretly thinking about her, but she has been able to survive until now. This is not something that two weak women can do.
After questioning, he will be put in jail for the time being. Whether he will be tortured or not, we will wait for notification from above.
That night,
In the quiet Guobei County, a shadow suddenly appeared on the street, making no sound.
I saw the black shadow coming to a house, shaking its sleeves, and something flew out of the sleeves, flew over the wall in a swish, and entered that house.
Suddenly a figure fell from the sky on the mid-air roof, and then fell into the yard.
A flash of light,
The black shadow that just flew into the courtyard broke into two pieces in mid-air. It was a very thin snake, even thinner than a chopstick.
The Thread Snake is a strange species in the mountains. It is as thin as a thread and moves as fast as flying. It likes to eat the essence of the gods. If it kills ten people, it will be punished. The reward is a pill of inner elixir.
The figure outside the courtyard wall seemed to have noticed something, and turned around to leave. After walking two steps, he bumped into someone.
"who?"
The man in the cloak tried to escape, but was caught by Wang Zhe.
"Hey, she's still a woman!"
He also knew this woman, the former oiran of "Chunxiao Tower", Miss Ruyun, whom Lao Hou could not forget.
"Captain!"
"Miss Ruyun, why are you here in the middle of the night?"
"I, I just can't sleep, let's go out for a walk."
"It's not safe for a weak woman like you to come out in the middle of the night!" Wang Zhe said coldly.
It was a coincidence that he had nothing to do tonight. He stood on a high place and watched the sky and the atmosphere of the small town. He vaguely saw a breath floating in it, with a faint blood color in it, so he went out to take a look, and happened to bump into her.
"Come out for a walk, you are here to kill someone!"
Thread snakes like to eat the marrow of gods. So the two people who died in Chunxiao Tower should have died after being devoured by the "thread snake".
This thread snake is so small and moves so quietly that it is indeed difficult to detect.
Unexpectedly, this girl Ruyun is actually proficient in the art of "controlling snakes".
"Just why did she come here?"
Wang Zhe knew about this family and it was his colleague who went to handle the case together today and put the oiran woman in jail.
Framing someone to blame?
"Master, I'm going back."
"Miss Ruyun, why don't you come back to the Yamen with me?"
"Master, this is a small thought. I hope Master will be accommodating." Ru Yun hurriedly took out some money and handed it to Wang Zhe.
"What happened tonight has nothing to do with money." Wang Zhe said coldly.
"That's it..." Ru Yun began to open the cloak and began to unbutton the clothes inside, vaguely revealing a piece of snow-white.
"Miss Ruyun, what are you doing!" Wang Zhe shouted in a deep voice upon seeing this.
"In the dead of night, the slave family knows what you want, sir."
Miss Ruyun's voice is very beautiful and soft, and her posture is very charming.
"You, Miss Ruyun, please respect yourself!"
Finally, Wang Zhe forced Ru Yun into a prison and was imprisoned next to the oiran.
It would be a lie to say that he is not moved!
"Oh, hey, new oiran and old oiran, our prison is really shining brightly now!" the officer guarding the prison sighed.
I originally thought that since the oiran was in prison, everything would not be left to them, but the higher-ups had specifically told them that they had to take good care of them.
They didn't know who was behind the new oiran, but they had heard more than one version of the story that Miss Ruyun and the county magistrate had to tell.
The next morning, during the trial, something shocking happened.
Miss Ruyun actually admitted that the two people who died in the "Chunxiao Tower" were killed by her. She was planning to kill the two guards who were escorting the oiran last night.
The purpose is to kill people to create the illusion that the courtesan is a goblin and is an unknown person, and to drive him away so that she can become an courtesan again!
It turned out that when the new courtesan came, she took away everything that originally belonged to her. Glory, wealth, and fame all fell from the clouds to the ground.
The huge gap between before and after made her have such terrible thoughts and put them into action.
I have to say that women's jealousy is still very terrifying.
The question arises, how did a weak woman with no fingers get the exotic species from the mountains like the "Thread Snake" and become so obedient as if she had been trained for many years.
Her next answer was even more surprising.
"It's because of the City God." Ru Yun's tone was very calm, so calm that it was surprising.
"I once worshiped the city god and made a wish to him. That night I had a dream. I dreamed that there was a ball of light in the mountains and forests outside the city. When I woke up the next day, I went to that place outside the city and saw it.
That snake.
I feel as if I have known it a long time ago, and it seems to know me too, and it immediately got into my sleeve and is very well-behaved."
Ru Yun told the story of the whole incident in a calm tone, but no matter how he listened, it felt like it was just a story.
"No, there's something wrong."
Wang Zhe noticed that when Ru Yun was talking, his eyes were a little dull, as if he was sleepwalking.
Then he used the "Qi Watching Technique" to look around and saw a faint cyan aura lingering on her head.
"Is this some kind of spell or manipulation, Gu Nianqiu!" He thought of the oiran who was still locked in the cell.
