Changsheng: My experience in patrolling the liver

Chapter 23: Murder
"Captain Sun did come to drink that day, in the private room on the second floor. He also invited Xiaoqian and Xiaoyue to accompany him. He drank until late at night before leaving. Nothing much happened during that time."

The old maid spoke tremblingly and explained everything truthfully.

Liang Chuanshan then found Xiaoqian and Xiaoyue separately and interrogated them carefully to confirm whether the details they said were consistent.

"Changming, come on, follow me upstairs and take a look." Lu Gang suddenly patted Song Changming's shoulder and strode towards the stairs.

The two men went to the private room on the second floor where Sun Wenyan had stayed and conducted a search.

Since Song Changming didn't know enough about Sun Wenyan, nor did he know who he had feuded with, and he hadn't even seen Sun Wenyan's body, he didn't make any inferences and just followed suit.

After half a day of thorough investigation of Chunfeng Garden, everyone went to the street where Sun Wenyan died to investigate.

Song Changming looked around and could clearly see clear knife marks on the walls and the ground on both sides of the alley.

There was also a pool of dried blood, which was left by Sun Wenyan.

"Judging from the disorderly distribution of the knife marks, Sun Wenyan was probably besieged by several knife-savvy fighters." Lu Gang frowned as he touched the knife marks on the wall.

Although Sun Wenyan is not a popular person, his personal strength is still worthy of recognition. After all, he cannot become the patrol chief just by relying on his reputation, he must have real talent.

The fact that they were able to kill Sun Wenyan, even though he was drunk at the time, is enough to prove that the opponents were all quite strong.

He is at least a warrior who has achieved minor success in swordsmanship!

"No one in this locality should dare to kill him. It is more likely that someone from outside the country or some martial artist will do it." Liang Chuanshan stretched and said with his eyes closed.

"Zhang Sihai and Qian Wen are closer to Sun Wenyan. They may know who Sun Wenyan has offended recently. Let them solve this case. Let's go and call it a day."

Having said that, Liang Chuanshan turned and left.

"Boss, this case is of great importance to the director. Whoever can solve it will make a great contribution." Seeing that Liang Chuanshan was not in high spirits, Lu Gang stepped forward and said.

"This is so confusing. You'd better be careful and avoid walking at night to avoid being targeted and killed again." Liang Chuanshan shook his head and reminded the patrol guards below.

If the other party's goal is not just Sun Wenyan, but a crazy revenge on the entire Xunjia Division, then each of them is equally dangerous.

This situation has happened before.

Even those imperial officials have been assassinated. There are always crazy people willing to do crazy things.

After hearing what Liang Chuanshan said, Song Changming couldn't help but become wary.

Several days later, when there was no progress in the case, three more patrolmen were killed on the same night and their bodies were thrown on the street. They were not found until the next day.

After identification, it was found that the knife wounds on the three patrol guards were exactly the same as those on Sun Wenyan, and they were obviously killed by the same group of people.

In this way, the other party's target is even clearer. It is not aimed at Sun Wenyan alone, but is hostile to all the patrol guards in the entire Houli Street Patrol Armor Division!
For a time, all the patrol guards on duty in Houli Street felt insecure.

"It's not other patrol departments in the city, but our Houli Street. From the perspective of the entire patrol department, who has been provoked recently?" Song Changming murmured in the courtyard.

"Nine-bend Society."

"Yeah." Lu Gang leaned against the pillar next to Song Changming with his arms folded across his chest and nodded in agreement.

"Liang Tou and I have thought that it was the Nine-Twist Society that was so bold as to do this. We had already sent spies from the Patrol Armor Division to closely monitor the situation. On the night of the incident, there was no movement from the Nine-Twist Society.

It wasn’t them, or rather, it wasn’t those masters from the Jiuqu Society who did it.”

After hearing this, Song Changming said no more.

If the Jiuqu Society was not a suspect for the time being, he really couldn't think of any other clues.

"Dead, another one died!"

Suddenly, a spy from the Patrol Armor Division rushed in and reported.

When the guards in the courtyard heard this, they immediately became restless.

The previous two attacks happened at night, but this time, a patrol guard was assassinated even during the day. They all greatly underestimated the enemy's rampantness.

Liang Chuanshan, who was sitting on the bench, didn't look very good either.

This is simply a slap in the face of all the patrol guards of the Patrol Armor Division, treating them like pigs and sheep and slaughtering them at will.

"Did no one witness the murder?!" Lu Gang asked with a frown.

"No, no, the other party is very cunning." The spy shook his head.

"This is definitely not something an ordinary warrior would do. Such a meticulous assassination method must be carried out by a veteran." Lu Gang looked at Liang Chuanshan.

"A civilian killer?" Just as Liang Chuanshan was thinking about it, the director above him could no longer sit still and sent someone to summon him to discuss the matter.

That night, the moonlight was as dark as ink and the stars were dim.

Song Changming and Lu Gang were walking together on the deserted street, looking at each other in silence.

There was no other sound except the sound of wind blowing through the street.

[Today's review: A boring day, lifespan +5, limited-time status 'doing nothing' obtained]

Looking at the daily reviews that popped up at midnight, Song Changming shook his head secretly.

I haven't had much time to practice with the sword these past two days because I was disturbed by this evil criminal. It would be great if I could find some clues, but most of the time I can only search around like a headless fly to no avail.

This also led to an inevitable decline in his daily evaluation.

"Brother Lu, will the other party take the bait with such a straightforward bait?" After a long time, which had already reached the late night, Song Changming could not help but ask.

"Given the other party's rampant behavior, it should be possible. I just don't know if it will be us or someone else." Lu Gang replied in a low voice.

This was an order issued personally by the director. Each patrol team sent out two people as bait to lure out the other side.

As the two most powerful members of the team, Lu Gang and Song Changming were entrusted with important tasks by Liang Chuanshan and became one of the baits.

It also allowed Song Changming to experience the night patrol job again after a long time.

Just as the two were passing through the entrance of a dark alley, a strong wind suddenly blew.

"Be careful!" Lu Gang reacted immediately and drew his sword to block.

Song Changming then saw clearly that it was a blade extending from the dark corner of the alley, and its target was him and Lu Gang.

The next moment, another blade stabbed out from the other side and pierced Lu Gang's throat.

The blade came swiftly and fiercely, at an extremely fast speed.

At the critical moment, Song Changming took a step forward, and his hand, which had been on the hilt of the sword, suddenly tightened, and the long sword was unsheathed!

The two swords collided, and the opponent's long sword was knocked away instantly, and the opponent's figure was also revealed.

An assassin in night clothes!

At this time, the third knife appeared silently and slashed towards Song Changming's lower thigh at a tricky angle.

Song Changming immediately withdrew and retreated with Lu Gang.

In the alley, three assassins in night clothes showed up, but one could not see each other's faces clearly. One could only see three pairs of eyes filled with murderous intent.

Song Changming's heart trembled.

The assassins really appeared, and there were three of them!
