Demon detective

Chapter 198 Purple Flame
The white smoke cleared away, and the fierce battle in the demon building also ended.

Although the battle didn't last long, it was extremely tragic. Whether it was the spies who entered the Zouyuan or the arresters of the God Detective Division, most of them were seriously injured and suffered heavy losses.

For example, the policeman named Jing Liang, although he was hit by several crossbow arrows, did not hurt his life, he could only lean on the pillar and moan in pain, unable to move.

The others were not much better, especially the spies who entered the Zouyuan, most of them fell to the ground, spitting black blood, obviously suffered from the bloody palm of Dongfang Meiyan...

But in the face of such a tragic scene, Dongfang Meiyan and others have long since disappeared.

At this moment, Dongfang Meiyan, Sima Xin, and Xu Zhen were supporting Lian Ji, who had been shot by an arrow, to the kitchen in the backyard of the demon building.

Along the way, Dongfang Meiyan never stopped complaining, and was still yelling excitedly: "Where did the white smoke come from? Who shot the arrow? How could it be possible to carry out a sneak attack under my nose? Have you seen it? Who is it?"

"This..." Sima Xin's hair was loose in a bun, and he replied in a panic, "I didn't see it either. It seems that there are spies in this demon building. We... we were careless!"

After finishing speaking, Sima Xin saw several of his subordinates still following behind, and hurriedly waved to them: "You guys guard the door and don't let anyone in!"

"Yes……"

Although Sima Xin's men were also blood-stained, they were lucky enough to escape the brutal fight because they were weak in martial arts and focused on survival.

After agreeing to the promise, they quickly closed the kitchen door and guarded outside.

"There..." Lian Ji pointed to the firewood pile in the corner and said, "It's right there, there..."

But seeing that Lian Ji's face was pale and trembling all over, the arrow that hit her chest seemed to have endangered her life.

"what!?"

Dongfang Meiyan and the others were surprised, and hurriedly looked at the pile of firewood, but there was nothing there except piles of firewood, and no one knew what Lian Ji meant.

"Knife, knife," Lian Ji motioned in pain, "The hatchet knife! It's the hatchet knife!"

"what!!?"

This time, everyone was even more surprised, but everyone thought of something in their hearts, and then changed from surprise to excitement, and then from excitement to excitement.

Dongfang Meiyan was the fastest, she was the first to pick up a firewood knife next to the firewood pile.

But seeing that the woodcutter was full of rust, the blade was damaged, and the blade was full of gaps, it looked like a useless broken knife.

Such a dilapidated knife is not only laborious to cut wood, it is not even worth selling scrap iron, so it is placed in the corner of the wood pile, and almost no one cares about it.

"This……"

All three looked at Lian Ji in astonishment, obviously expressing serious doubts.

"Yeah." However, Lian Ji nodded vigorously, which means that what you are looking for is this broken knife.

No way?
The three of them stared at the broken knife, and murmured in their hearts, could it be... could it be...

"Get out of the way!"

Seeing that the three didn't believe it, Lian Ji simply pushed Xu Zhen away, first picked up a bottle of old wine from the cupboard, raised her neck and downed it, and then spit it out on the broken knife with a puff.

Then, she grabbed the broken knife and swept it across the flames of the stove.

boom……

In an instant, a flame rose from the rusty knife!
Oh……

oh oh oh...

The three of Dongfang Meiyan were dumbfounded, because they saw that the flame turned from yellow to red, and then from red to purple, and a group of purple flames rose up!

You know, purple was a rare color in ancient times, and it was very difficult to mix it.

And purple flames are even more unheard of.

"Zi...Zi..." Dongfang Meiyan's mouth twitched, "Purple Flame Knife!"

"This..." Sima Xin almost fell to his knees, "Is this the Emperor Taizu's Purple Flame Saber?"

Even more amazing is yet to come.

Accompanied by the flame burning, the rust on the blade slowly fell off, revealing the gleaming dragon pattern!
"Sure enough, it really is Taizu's treasured sword..." Dongfang Meiyan knelt down on one knee, under the sword.

However, as soon as she knelt down, Lian Ji, who was holding a precious sword, suddenly fell down, and the flame on the sword was also suddenly extinguished.

"Old mother... Hey..." Xu Zhen hurriedly hugged her, only to realize that Lian Ji was already so angry that she was about to die.

"quick!"

Dongfang Meiyan quickly took out the Golden Yuan Pill, ready to give it to Lian Ji.

However, Lian Ji pushed her hand away, and said bitterly: "If possible, bury me with Wubing! Is it true or not, hehe...it doesn't matter..."

After finishing speaking, Lian Ji slowly closed her eyes and did not move anymore.

"Lian Ji, hello, hello..." Dongfang Meiyan shook her, and said hastily, "You haven't told me, what else is there in that container besides the Ziyan Knife? Hey..."

However, no matter how she shakes, Lian Ji doesn't respond anymore.

Purple Flame Knife...

Xu Zhen took the treasured sword from Lian Ji's hand and carefully observed the dragon pattern on the sword.

The old treasured sword gives people a heavy and depressing feeling.

"I don't understand..." Xu Zhen looked at the sword and muttered to himself, "Since Fang Wubing has already found the Purple Flame Sword, why didn't he hand it over to the late Emperor?"

"Hey," Sima Xin sat down on the ground, shook his head and sighed, "I found the knife, but the aftermath... how to deal with the aftermath? Entering the Zouyuan...but they are all royal guards, I..."

"What are you afraid of?" Dongfang Meiyan said angrily, "With our God Detective Division, we can do business when we find the knife, but..."

She looked at Lian Ji's body and said: "The five boxes of containers are really missing, and I still want to find clues about the executioner Daxuan!"

"There is no doubt," Xu Zhen analyzed, "the Ziyan knife must be in those five containers, that is to say, the knife was kept by the criminal officer Daxuanti.

"Could it be..." Xu Zhen muttered to himself, "Fang Wubing found the treasured sword, but he didn't hand it in, but chose to be trapped in the county prison.

"Tsk tsk...why didn't you hand it in? Could it be...his purpose is not to find a knife, but to find someone? Just like you," Xu Zhen looked at Dongfang Meiyan, "he also wanted to find that prisoner named Daxuan ?”

"Oh?"

Dongfang Meiyan took the treasured sword, first fell into deep thought, and then had a serious discussion with Xu Zhen.

Then, together with Sima Xin, they discussed how to clean up the mess...

However, what they didn't know was that when they found the treasured sword, someone had already slipped out of the demon building quietly.

This person used the fastest speed to climb over the wall and across the house, and soon came to a secluded alley.

In the alley, there was already an old man dressed as a beggar waiting there. After seeing this person, the two immediately went forward to exchange information.

"What!? Purple Flame Knife!!?"

After the old man got the important news, he was shocked first, and then he took out the arrow from his waist without hesitation, and lit it with a fire.

laugh……

The loud arrow shot high into the sky, resounding around the demon building.

After the common people heard it, they only thought that someone had set off fireworks in the daytime, and they all stopped to look at the sky. After finding that they couldn't see anything, they continued to work on their own affairs.

However, for some people, the loud arrow is the most important signal.

Soon, people with different costumes and strong figures came from all directions like a raging undercurrent, rushing towards the demon building...
