Chapter 504 Chasing Danger
With a bang, the door of the small courtyard was pushed open hard, and Fu Qingzhou and Qiu Chan rushed into the courtyard with nervous expressions on their faces.
What hit them was a strong sense of blood... Immediately afterwards, the two saw two bloody corpses lying in the courtyard. They could vaguely distinguish a man and a woman.
“!!!”
The two were shocked. They quickly endured their uneasiness and stepped forward to check.
Fortunately, after just one glance, Fu Qingzhou breathed a sigh of relief: "It's not Jiaojiao, nor Lao Yuan."
Qiu Chan looked at the two corpses and said in a deep voice: "Then what happened to them? ..."
The two corpses were extremely damaged.
They seemed to have been beaten by thousands of sharp knives. There was no good skin left on their bodies, and blood was flowing all over half of the small courtyard. It was hard to imagine what kind of weapons were needed to kill them. It hurt like this.
“No rush.”
Fu Qingzhou said: "Two people died in the courtyard, but Jiaojiao and Lao Yuan were not seen... Let's look for them first, and Zhu Mei. If she is here, she may have seen something."
Qiu Chan nodded, and the two of them immediately separated and searched everywhere in the small courtyard.
The courtyard where they lived was not big, and they could see it all in just a moment.
"Jiaojiao and Lao Yuan are not here."
Fu Qingzhou frowned and walked back to the small courtyard.
Qiu Chan held Zhu Mei's hand and said softly: "What did you see? Tell me?"
Zhu Mei bit her finger and said awkwardly: "Well... yes, A child came and took a letter. Sister Tang Jiao was very nervous. She called Uncle Yuan and left. "
"I, I was hungry, so I looked for something to eat... They. ..."
She pointed to the two corpses in the courtyard and continued: "They came, but a ghost ate them."
Fu Qingzhou was startled: " There are ghosts, eat them?”
The next second, he slapped his forehead: "Holy crap, it's the formation left by the old guy!"
"Huh?"
Qiu Chan then realized: "The old guy left this formation!" The...formation? Yes...you told me that it left a formation in our courtyard. If someone with malicious intentions comes in, they will..."
The two looked at the corpse on the ground. , and sighed softly at the same time.
It will become this kind of virtue.
It's true that Tang Min, Tang Jiao's uncle, sneaked in quietly last time but did not trigger the magic circle. It was probably because he didn't have much malice in his heart at the time; it could also be that the smoker noticed something at that time and was not in a hurry. Activate the formation.
"In other words, after someone lured Tang Jiao and Lao Yuan away, they also wanted to kill Zhu Mei."
Qiu Chan said softly: "But they didn't expect that, There is such a terrifying formation in our small courtyard."
"We still have to look for Jiaojiao," Fu Qingzhou said solemnly: "They won't even let Zhu Mei go, Jiaojiao and Lao Yuan. It must be very dangerous. "
This place is very close to Baishi Street. Tang Jiao and Yuan Ziping are not mediocre. If they want to kill them, there will be big noise, so they can only lure them away.
In comparison, Zhu Mei is just a stupid woman with no strength, so they dare to sneak in and take action.
"But...where did they go?" Qiu Chan asked softly.
Fu Qingzhou looked at Zhu Mei and asked softly: "Do you still remember what the child who sent the letter to Sister Tangjiao looked like?"
"Well..."
Zhu Mei struggled to recall it, and after a while she said: "It's dirty, smelly, and flat. He must be very hungry."
After spending this time together, Fu Qingzhou and Qiu Chan were already accustomed to her speaking style. Her "flat" probably refers to the child's belly.
“Sounds like a little beggar.”
Qiu Chan frowned and said, “Did you just find someone to send the message?”
“No.”
Fu Qingzhou shook his head: "Neither Jiaojiao nor Lao Yuan trust others easily. If a beggar comes and delivers a letter, it is impossible for Jiaojiao to be shocked and leave immediately, unless..."
< br>
"Unless she recognizes the child?" Qiu Chan paused and said, "Chang'an Lane!"
Fu Qingzhou nodded: "Not bad."
Tang Jiao has been in Chang'an Lane the past few days, Helping Nan Muzhi teach, he must have met many children in the alley.
It is the poorest slum in the entire capital. The children there look like little beggars, which is perfectly normal. Only the children in Chang'an Lane could convince Tang Jiao instantly.
"That letter..."
Fu Qingzhou said: "I'm afraid it's Mr. Nan's handwriting that can lure Jiaojiao away immediately. They are in danger now."
Don't think too much, He and Qiu Chan looked at each other and immediately rushed to Chang'an Lane.
As for Zhu Mei... don't worry too much. There is a magic circle in the yard, so she is the safest one.
I just have to pity her and stay with those two corpses for a while longer...
But judging from her appearance, she probably doesn't care... Well, there's food in the kitchen, and she won't be hungry, so there's no need to worry.
This time the two of them didn’t want to leisurely call a drum car, and they both rushed there with Qinggong.
Fu Qingzhou quickly threw Qiu Chan away by a long distance - there was no way, the gap in cultivation and skill was there, he had no time to slow down and wait for her, he had to rush over first.
Dusk lasted only a moment, and by the time he arrived at Chang'an Lane, the sky was already dark.
The alley was very quiet, and there was no sound of fighting. Fu Qingzhou did not dare to relax at all, and rushed towards Nan Muzhi's residence.
Sure enough, when I opened the door of Nan Muzhi's dilapidated house, I saw a mess!
Several bookshelves collapsed, and the pages of books were scattered on the ground. Nan Muzhi fell among them, not knowing whether he was alive or dead.
Fu Qingzhou's pupils shrank and he hurried forward to check.
I saw Nan Muzhi collapsed on the ground, with book pages scattered on his body. Although his eyes were wide open, he was already... dead.
"Dead..."
Fu Qingzhou sighed deeply.
At the same time, he felt even more worried.
Nan Muzhi is dead, but there are no signs of fighting here, and his body is placed here in such a mess, it is obvious that no one has cleaned it up for him.
In other words, at least Tang Jiao...has never been here.
The other party must have forced Nan Muzhi or used other means to make Nan Muzhi write the letter and then killed him... But Tang Jiao was led to other places.
Fu Qingzhou's fists clenched tighter and tighter.
In this way, the clue is broken again!
If she waits any longer, Tang Jiao may be in danger!
At this moment, there was an urgent sound of landing and footsteps behind him.
"Qiu Chan..."
Fu Qingzhou looked back calmly, but was startled.
The person who came was not Qiu Chan, but Tang Jiao!
She was covered in blood, with blood even covering her hair and face. Her clothes were a little tattered, and she had many wounds from swords.
She stood at the door of the hut, her voice trembling in shock: "Brother...Mr. Nan, he..."
"He has no breath." Fu Qingzhou sighed.
Tang Jiao's body was shaken, and she slowly walked towards Nan Mu's body, tears streaming down her eyes uncontrollably.
Fu Qingzhou looked behind her and saw Yuan Ziping staggering after her. He was much more injured than Tang Jiao. There seemed to be something wrong with the bones of his left leg, and his feet never dared to touch the ground. , could only jump on one foot, his body was also covered in blood, and he was sweating profusely in pain.
At this time, Tang Jiao had knelt down beside Nan Mu's corpse.
"Uncle Nan..."
She reached out and closed Nan Muzhi's eyes, sobbing softly: "I'm sorry, I'm sorry...it was all Jiaojiao who hurt you..."< br>
Fu Qingzhou patted her back gently, stood up, and walked towards Yuan Ziping.
"Mr. Gongzi..." Yuan Ziping clenched his teeth and called.
Fu Qingzhou reached out to support him and asked in a deep voice: "What is going on?"
Before Yuan Ziping could speak, Qiu Chan had also arrived.
As soon as she landed, she saw this chaotic scene and looked slightly stunned.
"Forget it, let's talk about it when we get back."
Fu Qingzhou sighed: "Let's bury Mr. Nan first."
