A female coroner arrived at the Jingzhao Prefecture.

Chapter 245 Headless Female Corpse (33)

Although Bai Zhizhi was good at light-footed skills, Wang Ruhua did not know martial arts, which made her afraid to use light-footed skills and she could only rely on her two legs to run wildly!

Therefore, before they even reached the village entrance, they were caught up by the men in black!

The man in black somersaulted and landed in front of Bai Zhizhi. As he turned around, Bai Zhizhi flicked her hand, and white powder was sprayed all over his face!

As she went out, she spotted Wang Ruhua's flour bin and grabbed a handful of flour.

The man in black was blinded by the dust and couldn't see clearly for a moment. Taking advantage of this opportunity, Bai Zhizhi gathered her strength and attacked the man in black!
At the same time, Constable Luo also arrived with his official knife. He avoided the man in black's vital points and slashed at the man's lower body!
The man in black reacted extremely quickly, leaping back seven or eight feet. After all, it was just flour, so it couldn't cause any harm. Once the flour on his eyelids was shaken off, his vision returned. When he realized that the person he had been chasing for so long was actually a female constable in disguise, he was immediately enraged and his body was enveloped in a murderous aura!
"I had no intention of opposing the government, but since you have pressed me so aggressively, then don't blame me for taking your lives here tonight!"

As soon as the man in black finished speaking, he drew both swords and attacked Bai Zhizhi and Constable Luo!
In order to successfully impersonate Bai Zhizhi, she did not carry an official knife and could only fight with her fists. However, since the man in black had the intention to kill her, he did not give her a chance to survive!
As Constable Luo was jolted by the sword energy and sent flying several feet away before crashing to the ground, the man in black's sword precisely pierced Bai Zhizhi's throat!
Bai Zhizhi had nowhere to hide, and her eyes widened in panic!
At this critical moment of death, a thought suddenly popped into her mind: Oh no, she hadn't had a chance to repay Lu Xun for saving her life!

"boom--"

However, just as she was in despair, a sudden, strange sound dispelled the black-clad man's sword energy!

Immediately afterwards, the short sword, which was only a few feet away from her throat, made a "clang" sound and was deflected several inches!

Bai Zhizhi was stunned and hadn't even reacted when she saw two figures fly over her head and attack the man in black! Her body was pulled backward by a strong force and fell into a cold yet familiar embrace!
Bai Zhizhi was shocked for a moment, then immediately turned around!

The man's handsome face appeared exceptionally clear under the starlight!

It's Lu Xun!
It was Lu Xun!

Bai Zhizhi could hardly believe it. Her bright eyes were fixed on him without blinking. If it weren't for the sounds of fighting in front of her, she would have thought she was dreaming!
But Lu Xun didn't have time to look at her. He protected Bai Zhizhi with one hand and held the soft sword with the other, ready to join the battle at any time!
Song Shuyu and Mu Qingcheng attacked the man in black together, one wielding a sword and the other a whip, attacking from both sides and giving the man in black no chance to breathe!
A moment later, the man in black was struck by a sword in the shoulder and arm, and his left leg was also whipped!

Behind Bai Zhizhi, besides Lu Xun, more than ten constables lined up, putting immense pressure on the men in black!

Seeing that he was doomed, the man in black suddenly raised his voice and said, "If you want the head of the woman from the Suhe River, leave it here and leave safely! Otherwise, your Jingzhao Prefecture will never know who the dead person is!"

Upon hearing this, Song Shuyu coldly retorted, "If we capture you, we'll naturally know where your head is!"

The man in black remained unfazed. "Do you think torture would be effective against someone like me? Besides, all you can take away tonight is my corpse!"

"Tell me, where is the head?" Mu Qingcheng stopped what she was doing, her cold gaze fixed on the man in black. "A deal always requires sincerity!"

The man in black said, "Don't worry, I've frozen the head, so it won't rot to the point of being unrecognizable! However, it's not convenient to give it to you now. When the time is right, I will make sure the head sees the light of day again!"

Mu Qingcheng narrowed her eyes. "Did you kill that woman?"

"Not so!" As he spoke, the man in black made a feint and quickly retreated several feet.

Song Shuyu, sword in hand, approached step by step!

Mu Qingcheng was taken aback for a moment, then immediately pressed, "Do you know who killed her? Did you cut off her head?" The man in black glared coldly at Mu Qingcheng, his attitude resolute, "If you want to know the answer, then leave now. I guarantee that the truth will come to light soon!"

Mu Qingcheng and Song Shuyu exchanged a glance, understanding each other perfectly.

Just as the two were about to make their move, intending to capture the man in black by surprise, Bai Zhizhi suddenly collapsed and fainted!

"Miss Bai!"

Lu Xun blurted out a shout, which startled Mu Qingcheng and Song Shuyu. The two subconsciously turned around, and the man in black took advantage of the moment to throw out a smoke bomb!

"not good!"

By the time everyone realized what was happening, their vision and breathing were obstructed by the thick smoke!
When the smoke cleared, there was no sign of the man in black.

Jiang Zhan rushed over, "My lord, I'll take men and give chase!"

Song Shuyu waved his hand, "No need to chase after him. This man's martial arts are unfathomable, and his will is unwavering. If we push him too hard, we might really end up bringing back a corpse!"

Mu Qingcheng couldn't care less about the men in black right now. There was still a chance to catch the escaped suspect, but Bai Zhizhi and Constable Luo, who were seriously injured, would be beyond saving once they missed the time for treatment!

She rushed over and saw that Lu Xun's hands were covered in blood. She quickly looked at Bai Zhizhi's back and found that Bai Zhizhi had been stabbed through the chest from behind by a sword, only inches away from her heart!

At this moment, someone else exclaimed, "Officer Luo has also fainted!"

Song Shuyu strode back and ordered, "Quickly, bring out the medicine for the wounds!"

Both were seriously injured, and they would have collapsed long ago if not for their strong will to hold them together.

Jiang Zhan dispatched six people into the village, one to find Wang Ruhua and Mo Yu, and the other to borrow a horse-drawn carriage or donkey cart to transport the two back to the yamen for treatment as soon as possible.

Song Shuyu sealed all of Constable Luo's acupoints to prevent excessive blood loss, and then together with Jiang Zhan, they applied medicine and bandaged Constable Luo's wounds.

On the other side, Lu Xun helped support Bai Zhizhi's body so that Mu Qingcheng could apply the medicine. She sealed the acupoints and tore open the clothes at the wound, but her hands were shaking so much that she couldn't open the medicine bottle cap!

Seeing this, Lu Xun said, "Qing'er, let me do it."

Mu Qingcheng didn't say a word. She handed the medicine bottle to Lu Xun and switched places with him. She hugged Bai Zhizhi's shoulders and found that her arms were shaking uncontrollably!
Even though Lu Xun remained calm and composed, a hint of heartache still welled up in his eyes. This little girl had suffered such a serious injury, almost a fatal one, yet she was still so tenacious, persevering until the very last moment!
Fortunately, I brought enough wound medicine and bandages with me when I came out, but even with so much medicine, I still ran out.

Looking at Constable Luo, who was wrapped up like a dumpling, and Bai Zhizhi, who looked like a broken doll, Mu Qingcheng could no longer hold back her tears, overwhelmed with guilt...
