Chapter 35 Who is assassinating whom?

Many people were attracted by Jiang Xiaoyi's beast-like howling and rushed towards the street. They also saw Lin Xi running in a hurry.

Lin Xi didn't have time to greet these people. After just a few seconds, he had already jumped into the alley with gray walls.

Lin Xi felt slightly relieved when he saw Jiang Xiaoyi holding the woman. However, when he saw the blood on the woman's chest and looked at her increasingly dull eyes, his expression became more and more sad.

Ice cold.

His body suddenly shook, and he saw Bian Linghan running back from the alley ahead.

"what happened?"

As soon as he saw Lin Xi, Bian Linghan immediately shouted out this sentence.

Her face was very pale. Although Jiang Xiaoyi had previously said that she did not know this woman, Jiang Xiaoyi's grief at the moment told her that Jiang Xiaoyi's feelings for this woman were not that simple.

Jiang Xiaoyi's howl and her appearance at this moment also made her feel an indescribable pain.

She didn't understand what happened, why this woman was stabbed in front of her and Jiang Xiaoyi's eyes, but as soon as she said her words to Lin Xi, she immediately knew that something was wrong, and knew that Lin Xi needed the same thing at the moment.

explanation, so she said quickly with a pale face: "I just arrived in Donggang Town today... Jiang Xiaoyi said that he had seen this woman's face covered in blood before, and she seemed to have something unspeakable, so we wanted to catch up with this woman and ask her for details.

, but when we walked into this alley, this woman had already been stabbed."

Lin Xi nodded slightly, indicating that she heard clearly.

He already recognized who this woman was.

This woman was one of the women who was rescued when the Yingoufang case occurred.

At that time, all these women were taken into custody and their confessions were recorded in detail one by one. He also read each confession carefully. The name of this woman with bloodstained face was Wang Simin, who was from Guangyuan Town, Ludonling. According to all the women

The confession also implicated more than a dozen officials and wealthy businessmen involved in the case. Those officials and wealthy businessmen involved in the case have also been convicted. Tomorrow's execution of the first offender Xu Chengfeng Lingchi is just a prelude to the settlement of the Yingoufang case.

The bloodstains on Wang Simin's face and body were all scars left by being whipped because of her strong temper and unwillingness to obey Yingoufang's arrangements.

Lin Xi considered that the world attaches great importance to women's chastity, and was afraid that even if these women were rescued, they would have nowhere to go, so she had already arranged for the arrest room to do the aftermath work, and let Du Weiqing and others hear the news in private one by one.

, Kaijie, if they can no longer go back, they will try to find a way to make a living.

Lin Xi knew very well that just as Xu Ningshen must have a backing in the Zhengwu Division, these were not the only officials involved in the case in Yingoufang. However, there was no conclusive evidence to investigate further. The case had been closed, so what did he have to do with such a weak woman?

relation?

How could someone suddenly assassinate this woman?

"Didn't I become Conan?"

He thought that before he took office in Donggang Town, there was rarely a murder case in Donggang Town. However, after he arrived in Donggang Town, life and death happened wherever he went. Even today, when it was supposed to be leisurely, things like this happened.

Lin Xi, who looked a little ugly, couldn't help but say this "nonsense" again.

"Conan?" Bian Linghan was stunned, unable to understand what Lin Xi meant by this sentence.

Lin Xi did not answer her question, but immediately asked: "Have you seen her assassin?"

"No." Bian Linghan gritted her teeth and shook her head. She had just rushed into the alley where the woman was assassinated as fast as possible, but there was no one around the alley.

While shaking her head, she couldn't help but feel a little angry... because Lin Xi seemed to be very calm at the moment. She usually admired Lin Xi's calmness of being unfazed by honor and disgrace, but when she encountered such a thing, Lin Xi's calmness made her unable to help herself.

Somewhat angry.

"It's probably not too late."

However, at this moment, Lin Xi said this softly again, and she couldn't help but look at Lin Xi's face in surprise.

"See you later."

What surprised her even more, and made Jiang Xiaoyi couldn't help but look up at him, was that Lin Xi said this again.

"go back…"

Lin Xi took a deep breath, looked at her two friends, and said these two words, completely pushing the "blue roulette" in her mind.

Time goes back to before the ten stops.





Lin Xi and Xing Derong were chatting happily, and Xing Derong was asking Lin Xi for advice on how to use a small deposit of silver taels to purchase a golden pomelo for the season that required a large amount of silver taels.

Under the surprised gazes of Da Dexiang and his son, Lin Xi quickly stood up, picked up the wooden box that was used as a chair under him, and carried it on his body.

"I have something important to do right away. It may not take long. Please stay here for a moment."

As soon as the voice came out, Lin Xi opened the window and jumped out gently.

He raised his head slightly and glanced at the streets in the distance. The summer sun made him feel a little dazzling.

He knows the sense of time better than anyone in the world. He knows that Bian Linghan and Jiang Xiaoyi should have seen the woman in the streets at this time, and the assassin should have disappeared at this moment.

Somewhere in the alley, observing the movement of the woman, after only about four stops, the assassin should arrive in the alley, waiting for the woman to walk in, complete

This assassination.

Time was not abundant for him, but he did not rush directly towards the alley immediately. Instead, he squinted his eyes slightly, stared at the dazzling sunlight, and carefully observed the streets and alleys.

After taking a few breaths, he moved quickly and first walked into the nearest small shop not far ahead that specialized in fishing nets, raincoats, bamboo hats and other items.

"Master Xiaolin!"

In the surprise greeting from the shop owner, Lin Xi immediately made a silent gesture to him and said softly: "I'm handling a case. I'm borrowing my raincoat and bamboo hat to hide my whereabouts. I'll come back later to check out."

." Just when the shop owner was stunned for a moment, then realized what he was doing, and nodded as if he was not honored, Lin Xi quickly put on a raincoat, took a bamboo hat, and walked out of the shop.

He quickly detoured into a small alley, walked out of the alley, and walked into a street. None of the people walking by him realized that he was Lord Xiao Lin, whom they liked and respected.

Lin Xi walked into an alley again, and his movements suddenly sped up. He climbed onto the roof of a house, walked quickly in the shadows between the roofs, and climbed up to a three-story attic.

This loft is located at the corner of Wuyi Lane. It is the pavilion of Jinxiufang, which specializes in cloth business. It has the highest terrain around Wuyi Lane.

There were many people talking about business in Jinxiufang at this moment, but no one noticed Lin Xi who quickly climbed to the shade of the top of the pavilion, lurked among the long wormwood, and quickly opened the wooden box on his back.

Just as she took out the Shenli Longbow from the wooden box, Lin Xi saw Wang Simin holding the embroidered blue in her eyes, and watched her walking towards the direction of Wuyi Alley where he was.

After a moment, Jiang Xiaoyi and Bian Linghan also appeared in his sight.

He didn't make any unnecessary movements. He held the Shenli Longbow extremely steadily with his left hand, and silently twisted a crystal steel arrow with his right hand.

Bian Linghan and Jiang Xiaoyi were no longer in his eyes, only this woman was left. He quickly adjusted his breathing to get himself into the best state as quickly as possible.

Because he has already used the ability to return to ten stops today, there must be no mistakes in this arrow shot.

However, he frowned slightly, because he saw that in a few steps, the woman would enter the narrow alley that would lead to Wuyi Lane with a few turns, but at this moment, in the narrow alley

But no one else exists.

Could it be that that person discovered his whereabouts and canceled the assassination?



Lin Xi was slightly surprised and doubtful, but the woman suddenly walked faster and walked into the narrow alley.

The woman was walking in the narrow alley, but no one showed up. Lin Xi became more and more suspicious. But just as the woman walked past the closed wooden doors in the alley, one of the wooden doors suddenly opened.

The woman was slightly startled and turned her head.

I saw a farmer man with bare feet and rolled up sleeves walking out of the open wooden door.

She lowered her head again absentmindedly, but at this moment, the farmer stretched out his hand towards her.

Lin Xi completely understood.

After the assassin completed the stabbing, he could just close the wooden door again and walk out directly from the back door. After taking five or six steps, he could walk to an alley next to Wuyi Lane.

The streets and alleys are filled with teahouses and ordinary wine shops. Who would have known that such a peasant man could actually be a murderer?

Because the time coincided, Lin Xi did not hesitate at all. Just when the farmer stretched out his hand and before taking a step, the crystal steel arrow at his fingertips flew out and turned into a transparent stream of light that was difficult to see with the naked eye.

.

A long three-edged thorn appeared in the farmer's right hand, shining with a dark black light. At the same time, his left hand also pulled out a black oilcloth from his chest.

At the moment when the three-sided thorn pierced into the woman's body, if some blood droplets flew out, he would use this black oilcloth to cover them so that they would not splash on his body.

"laugh!"

The farmer, whose face was still unclear to Lin Xi, heard a strange sound, and then he heard the sound of a sharp weapon piercing flesh and blood. Because of the first sound, he had turned around and raised his head slightly towards the sky behind him.

He looked, but he didn't see anything. He only felt that his right arm suddenly became extremely heavy.

A sharp pain and heavy impact that paralyzed half of his body made him realize that the second sound was the sound of a sharp weapon piercing his own flesh and blood. The moment he turned his head back violently, he let out a cry

A shrill howl.
