Embroidery Girl
chapter 33.2: murder investigation
As Tang Li turned around, a young man and several soldiers with him came over to them. He smiled somewhat forcefully.
“Ah, you again.” Xin Mei smiled and went down to him.
“Xin May, who is she?”. Asked the young man while looking at Tang Li and waving a grudge.
“Nobody. Just the people I hate so much. Let's go! Will I want to buy sweets now.” Xin Mei pulled the young man's hand and took him away, as if not assuming Tang Li was around.
Tang Li then walked away from there regardless of what happened. She felt, Xin Mei was already in love with the young man. He had to go and let her enjoy the day beautifully.
......................
The full moon formed beautifully in the sky, making its white light wash away everything on earth. The reflection is perfect and clearly visible at the bottom of the lake.
A woman was running through the wind in a narrow market alley. His face looked extremely frightened, and ran with all his might. Sometimes he looks back with nothing. However after seeing him a few times, he suddenly saw a black-clothed person standing in front of him.
The man was wearing black, all black, not knowing whether he was a boy or a girl. In his hand was a long white sword he held tightly which reflected the moonlight.
The woman immediately turned around with high fear. But suddenly there was a very fast whizzing sound.
He felt something stab him in the back. He wanted to see what pierced him, but he suddenly collapsed and fresh blood flowed from the hole formed in his stomach.
There was no change in the expression on the person's face as he stared at his already dead victim. In the blink of an eye, he disappeared without a trace.
......................
In the morning, the residents surrounded the woman's body. But it is very different from yesterday. The woman's face was bluish and deathly pale, the blood coming out was dark black, both pupils of her eyes were wide open and showed a strange expression that was extremely sinister.
The residents discussed if the person who was killed was due to a strange poison, not from a killer that always happened recently.
Normally, residents would find if the bodies that were killed would be ransacked and killed fairly, but what they saw in the morning was very different from what they used to be, but what they saw in the morning was very different from what they used to be, make them guess if the murder that occurred was caused by someone else.
They became even more fearful and vigilant after witnessing it.
In the noise and worry of the people, it was suddenly that the crowd was split apart, giving the prince and his people a look.
When the prince saw the corpse of the woman, he became even more curious and wanted to reveal who was the mastermind behind all this. In addition to looking very bad, this corpse smelled a strange smell that was slightly pungent.
The prince then ordered two of his subordinates to bring the woman's body to investigate.
When two people start doing their job, suddenly someone stops them both.
“Your highness prince, let me check it out for a while before you do it.”
The one who stopped them was none other than Tang Li's people who were ordered to investigate the murder case. This man was one of them named Ping Rushui.
Ping Rushui then walked without waiting for a response, but none of the soldiers tried to stop him or tried to carry the body. They just stayed in place, even the prince and his people let him do what he wanted.
Not without reason, people let him move forward. He was one of the talented Knights who came from the village and was a highly respected person in the village. As long as he was in the village, he always did good deeds and put down evil, which made him a great believer.
The prince also thought like that, he only heard names and apparently from some people. What people say has a point. The person Tang Li sent was very mysterious and gave off a high refreshing aura, making others very comfortable to be by his side.
Ping Rushui then crouched down and looked at the black blood on the ground. In an instant he understood what was really happening. But he has trouble identifying whether the murders and robberies that took place in recent months were caused by the same person.
Because, the hole of the sword in the woman's stomach was very rough and did not have the slightest sword science. However, he did not rush to deduce what was on his mind.
He did not dare to draw any more conclusions. He then stood up and looked at the people around him. In a loud voice he announced, “does any of you know this woman?”
Everyone wondered and shook their heads.
“Is there?”
Again everyone shook slowly and said they did not know him.
He became disappointed and walked over to the crown prince.
“Sorry, interrupt your activities prince.” He saluted. “please, you can do anything with the corpse.”
The prince nodded and ordered the two men to do their duty.
“Did you find anything?”
He shook his head, then saluted and left.
......................
Why do I know this house so well, where do I know her?
Xin Mei was standing in front of a very majestic two-story house with red cloths adorning each side of the house. He felt very familiar with this place, but did not know where he saw it other than this place.
The house had a familiar and painful impression in his heart. This strange feeling made him uneasy. Sweat began to flow profusely at his temple. His lips began to shake uncontrollably. Slowly he saw the surroundings start to be red in color and there was nothing other than the red color and the building. A black aura began to appear and whispers after whispers were heard calling out to him to enter.
He involuntarily shouted and covered both his ears. But the whispers grew louder and the aura drew closer to him. Close, close, very close.
......................
“Bad girl, what are you doing here?” xin Mei suddenly became conscious and looked at the person who had patted her.
“Uncle, why are you here?”
The one who patted Xin Mei was the ball salesman who had annoyed her one day earlier. He was now standing at the side while staring towards the majestic house in front of him.
This person has a gallant body with a face that is filled with a mustache and hair in one tie. People must have guessed that he was an expert in martial arts, but the fact is that he said he had the body he is today because he always exercised to keep his body.
“What are you doing here?” the man did not answer Xin Mei but instead asked about it.
“I'm just walking.”
The man did not continue to ask; he stepped away heading inside the house.
“hey, Uncle I'm coming.” Xin Mei chased after him.
After Xin Mei and the man entered two figures then appeared at the place where they had previously stood.
“Are we interfering in today's plot?”
“We won't mix it.”
Then they disappeared.
