On the second day after the Hunting Group entered the Juque Mountain, there was a murder case in White Water City, and the location was coincidentally the Red Moon Restaurant.
On the morning of the second day, Luo Fangshuo was patrolling the streets as usual. Suddenly, he heard a panicked scream, "Murder, murder …"
The scream came from the third floor of the Red Moon Restaurant. Liu Buyi looked at Luo Fangshuo, a disciple of the Court Of Sword, but he was so scared that his face turned pale. Liu Buyi looked down on him, but he didn't dare to show it. He said in a low voice, "Your Excellency, didn't you hear? There seems to be a murder case in the Red Moon Restaurant!"
"Ah!" Luo Fangshuo woke up from a dream, "Yes, yes, let's go and see!"
A group of hoodlums came to the Red Moon Restaurant and bumped into a waiter who was about to report to the authorities. Liu Buyi grabbed the waiter's clothes, "Who shouted murder? Was it you?"
"Yes, yes … a guest on the third floor died. The manager ordered me to report to the Lords, but I didn't expect them to come …" The waiter said with difficulty.
"Murder in White Water City, how dare you!" Liu Buyi's face turned cold, and he turned to Luo Fangshuo, "Your Excellency!"
"Let's go and have a look." Luo Fangshuo wiped the sweat on his forehead.
The manager was guarding the door with a sad face. Seeing the group of hoodlums coming up, he was relieved, "Your Excellency is here."
"Let's take a look at the body …" Luo Fangshuo said weakly.
"Your Excellency, please!" The manager quickly made way for them.
Luo Fangshuo led them in, and found that it was not a guest room, but a private dining room. The body of the deceased was in a sitting position in front of the low table behind the screen.
Liu Buyi walked over and squatted down to examine the condition of death. He found that the fatal wound was very obvious, which was a bloody hole in the throat. But strangely, there was no blood coming out of the bloody hole, and the place where the deceased was lying was also clean.
He frowned in confusion and used his finger to feel the wound. "Sir, this wound is really strange. The blood is still warm, so I can infer that she was killed within an hour."
Luo Fangshuo wasn't a complete idiot. He immediately turned to the innkeeper at the door and asked in a pleasant tone, "Innkeeper, have you heard any strange noises in the past hour?"
"No, absolutely not." The shopkeeper swore, "I woke up two hours ago and was checking the accounts downstairs."
"Master, let me ask." Liu Buyi frowned.
"Then, then you do it," Luo Fangshuo had no choice but to agree.
Liu Buyi turned to the innkeeper and coldly said, "What is this person's name, why did he come to our private dining room so early in the morning. Also, get the first person who found the body over here. "
"I'll go now!" The innkeeper hurriedly went downstairs to check the accounts and called the waiter up. "Master, this person's surname is Gongsun, and his first name is Quan. He checked into our restaurant last night, and his room is on the fifth floor. As for why he came here so early in the morning, I have no idea."
"Gongsun Quan?" Liu Buyi thought about this name. "I think I've heard it somewhere before …"
He turned to look at the waiter. "How did you find the body?"
The waiter answered honestly, "The restaurant has to be cleaned every morning. I came in to clean as usual and found this gentleman's body. Then the innkeeper heard my scream and came up."
Luo Fangshuo said weakly, "I, I've heard this name before …"
"You've heard of him, Master?" Liu Buyi turned to Luo Fangshuo in surprise.
Luo Fangshuo looked at the body and nodded. "He's a Feng Shui master. People call him the Acupoint Divine Hand Gongsun Quan. He can even predict when a General-level Meteorite Beast will appear. And look, there are traces of people sitting opposite him. Someone must have talked with him here. "
Liu Buyi was already shocked by the first half of the story, but he didn't listen to the second half at all. He directly said to one of the bad guys, "Go and get Master Qiu Yu here. We can't intervene in this matter."
That person immediately left.
Luo Fangshuo opened his mouth, sighed to himself, and shut his mouth.
"Gongsun Quan, although he is not a disciple of Confucian orthodoxy, he is the cousin of Xiang Shaoji, the elder of the Five Elements Court. He has made great contributions to the Five Elements Court many times. I'm afraid that the Five Elements Court won't let him go if he dies in White Water City. I don't dare to get involved in this case, and my superior is too incompetent. I'm afraid that he will make things worse and get me into trouble. Is that what you think? "
At this moment, a mocking voice rang out in the private room.
"Who?" Liu Buyi was shocked and angry. He looked towards the source of the voice and saw a handsome young man hanging upside down from the beam. The young man had his arms crossed, and his jade-like face was full of cynicism.
"Wow, you murderer still dare to show up!" He was immediately provoked by the young man's expression. He pulled out his sword and stabbed at the young man.
But halfway through, he was hit by an inexplicable force. His sword was broken and he was injured. He hit the other corner of the private room and kept vomiting blood.
"You think you can fight with me? It's better if Feng Jiu is here! "The young man sneered.
Luo Fangshuo finally reacted and shouted, "Don't do it, don't do it, we're all on the same side …"
"Who are you … How dare you touch the bad guys in White Water City …" Liu Buyi asked in shock and fear.
"Brother Baili, why are you here …" Luo Fangshuo smiled wryly and cupped his hands.
Liu Buyi heard that the surname Baili was rare. His arrogant tone and demeanor were exactly the same as that person. He broke out in a cold sweat and hurriedly knelt on the ground, "I didn't know you were Master Baili … I'm sorry, I've offended you …"
The young man was Baili Qing Kong.
Baili Qing Kong ignored Liu Buyi and turned to Luo Fangshuo, mocking him, "Fatty Luo, you haven't improved at all. You're being bullied by an incompetent and show-loving piece of trash."
"Being kind to others …" Luo Fangshuo smiled wryly.
"You've actually figured something out." Baili Qing Kong said, "For example, the murderer's background."
Luo Fangshuo sighed sadly, "Blood Evil Blade, only this kind of weapon in the world can cause such a strange wound."
"Blood Blade!" Liu Buyi's face was drained of blood. "The unique weapon of the Blood-clothed Tower's Shadow Hall!"
Luo Fangshuo nodded and added, "Mr. Gongsun is a master of the Insight State. To kill him before he could resist, the murderer must be at least at the level of the Shadow Hall's Deputy Hall Master."
"So, the Blood-clothed Tower has really infiltrated White Water City!"
