Xu Siqi knew that the boning knife had hit a vital point and Eunuch Qiao could not survive more than three or two minutes.
"Eunuch Qiao, Eunuch Qiao?"
"Well……"
Eunuch Qiao slowly opened his cloudy eyes.
Xu Siqi knelt down and asked, "Have you seen the murderer's appearance?"
"Blue eyes..." Eunuch Qiao said with a weak breath.
"Male or female?"
"male……"
He said solemnly and urgently: "What does he look like and what kind of clothes does he wear?"
Eunuch Qiao shook his head, and there was more and more blood under his body.
With blue eyes, there is no doubt that he is a foreigner.
He said solemnly: "Siqi, there are very few foreigners in the Ma City area."
Xu Siqi understood what he meant.
Since there are fewer foreigners, it means more opportunities.
Just as he was about to stand up, Eunuch Qiao grabbed his wrist and gasped: "I am an authentic old Beijing. The moat outside the Drum Tower of Di'anmen, the first gate in the east, is my home, Shichahai, Jingshan,
Not far away..."
Zheng Zheng said impatiently from the side: "Siqi, it's no time to delay, don't listen to his ramblings."
Xu Siqi said: "You go east, I'll go west. Meet at Baiji Blacksmith Shop."
He nodded solemnly and said, "Be more prompt."
After saying this, he walked out quickly.
Eunuch Qiao continued: "When I was a child, my family was too poor to take the blame, and we had many brothers and sisters. We often had one meal before finishing the next. Later, my father didn't know what he thought, and sent me to the palace to be a eunuch. Well, come to think of it,
, I was pretty lucky. After working for five years, I was able to serve as an errand beside the emperor. In those few years, my life was really comfortable, with a lot of money..."
His eyes became brighter and brighter, and his spirits seemed to suddenly improve.
"Eunuch Qiao, please take a rest..."
Xu Siqi knew that this was a sign of coming back to life. Maybe in the next second, Eunuch Qiao would stop breathing forever.
"Cough, cough, cough, wait, the foreign devil who got a thousand blows, that kick just now, it hurt me so much..."
Eunuch Qiao coughed violently and straightened his body a little.
On his chest, there was an unclear shoe print.
He had always been lying on his side just now, and Xu Siqi didn't notice this detail.
It is estimated that after the murderer came in, he kicked Eunuch Qiao over first, and then struck the killer.
The texture of the shoe print is very special, it is curved like water ripples.
Xu Siqi is very familiar with this kind of shoe print. This is a leather shoe imported from Italy, and he happens to have a pair himself.
"Cough cough cough, cough cough..."
Eunuch Qiao couldn't breathe, his body twitched for a while, and he soon died.
Xu Siqi sighed inwardly.
The last time Eunuch Qiao was able to survive, it was not because the murderer planned to let him go, but because he ran out of time.
The problem is, even if you guess the result.
For an old man who empties the toilet, the police station is unlikely to provide protection.
He is an insignificant little person.
Live and no one cares.
Even if he died, he would be equally calm.
…
It's a good weather today.
The sky was blue, the sun was shining brightly, and there was not even a breath of wind.
The streets are bustling with pedestrians. In this case, unless you get closer, it is difficult to tell which one is the blue-eyed foreigner.
Bai Ji stood in front of the blacksmith shop and looked around solemnly with his hands on his hips.
Opposite the blacksmith shop is the only tram stop in the horse market. You have to get on and off here to enter and exit the horse market.
The train interval is very long, at least an hour.
Seeing Xu Siqi approaching, he solemnly stepped forward to greet him, and said in frustration: "Don't bother, that guy must have run away."
Xu Siqi looked around and said, "We'll wait here."
"wait?"
"right."
"You mean, the murderer hasn't left yet?"
"Did you see any foreigners on your way here?"
"No."
"We are in front of the murderer. He won't walk too fast. Besides, I asked just now. The tram just passed by half an hour ago."
"Why doesn't he walk too fast?"
"A foreigner with obvious physical features will attract more attention if he is in a hurry. I believe that he will be more careful since he has just killed someone."
Since he had to keep a low profile, it was certainly unlikely that the murderer would come by car.
After thinking about it seriously, he said: "What if he is riding a rickshaw or riding a bicycle..."
Xu Siqi said firmly: "I didn't see it on the way here."
I solemnly recalled that the road in Ma City was narrow and the car was driving very slowly at that time. I really did not see the situation I mentioned.
There is only one street leading in and out of the horse market. Since he was not encountered on the way, the murderer must still be in the horse market.
Taking the tram is indeed the most ideal way to leave. Although foreigners are rare in the Ma Market area, there are many on the tram.
As long as the murderer blends in, he can hide the truth and evade capture.
Xu Siqi is full of confidence.
The murderer was a blue-eyed foreigner, wearing a pair of Italian leather shoes with water ripple soles.
As long as the two clues corroborate each other, the identity of the murderer can basically be determined.
The tram is coming from far to near.
The tram stops are all Chinese, not even half a foreigner.
He came over solemnly and whispered: "Did he change his mind temporarily and run away in a rickshaw?"
Xu Siqi said: "Normally not. Taking a rickshaw will leave a lot of clues..."
At this moment, a man wearing a black top hat, an khaki windbreaker, and a scarf came over.
The scarf is so wide that it almost blocks the entire face.
His eyes are the azure blue unique to people from European and American countries.
This person glanced over and happened to see Xu Siqi and Zheng Zheng.
He suddenly turned around and left.
He shouted solemnly in English: "Stop!"
As soon as he shouted, the man walked faster, crossed the road and walked towards the residential area on the opposite side.
"It must be him, it can't be wrong!" He chased after him solemnly.
Xu Siqi also chased across the road.
In fact, the three of them are not far apart, less than ten meters apart.
Seeing the running posture of the man in front of him, Xu Siqi suddenly stopped.
After thinking for a while, he suddenly turned around.
The tram has arrived and stopped.
Xu Siqi is now on the opposite side of the road, blocked by the tram body, and cannot see the passengers on the other side getting on the bus.
Here, Zheng Zheng chased quickly, stretched out his hand and grabbed the man's collar.
The man screamed, staggered and fell to the ground, his cap fell to the ground, and his long brown hair seemed to be scattered on his shoulders.
Zheng Zheng was stunned for a moment, then turned around and said to Xu Siqi: "It's a girl!"
Without saying a word, Xu Siqi avoided the passing vehicles, ran across the road, and chased the slowly starting tram.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
Xu Siqi slapped the carriage, trying to make the tram stop.
The car window opened, and a sultry guy stuck his head out and said with a playful smile: "Fool, call me grandpa, and grandpa will pull you up."
Xu Siqi suddenly jumped up and grabbed the guy's hair.
The guy bared his teeth and shouted: "It hurts, it hurts, let go, let go quickly!"
Xu Siqi took advantage of his strength and jumped up, jumped in from the window, and said with a smile: "Call grandpa, and I will let go."
