A Clash of Gods

Vol 2 Chapter 4: reasoning

Ximen Zhanying was obviously still in awe of the prince. Although he was a little reluctant, he walked back to the table. Qi Ning smiled and said, "Tassel girl, this can work for you."

Ximen Zhanying couldn't help saying: "You are not allowed to call me like this."

Ximen priest coughed, and Ximen Zhanying could only stand aside with his hands down, but the pretty face seemed to be covered with frost.

"Tassel girl, if you really don't want to, actually ... you don't have to force yourself." Qi Ning sighed, "If the **** and I drink, if you look cold, this ...! "Bitter smile and shook his head."

Simon warned that Qi Ning was deliberately adding fuel to the fire. He wished he could be hacked to death with a knife, but he was stared by the priest of Simon. Mood. "Glancing at the Simon prince, it was obvious that even the Simon prince was also blamed by her.

Qi Ning picked up the glass and said, "Shenhou, I am invited by today, I would like to respect you first!"

Ximen Shenhou smiled and said: "It seems that Xiaohouye, like Ling Zun, is so happy to drink." Toasting, he glanced at Ximen Zhanying and motioned Ximen Zhanying to pour wine.

Ximen Zhanying hugged the wine jar and poured wine to the two facelessly. Qi Ning smiled and said: "The girl's kung fu is really good, just right."

Ximen Zhanying stared at Qi Ning fiercely, but he dared not say anything in front of Ximen priest.

"It is said that Lord Hou saw the murderer that night." Ximen Shenhou Jiacai said: "Hou Ye remembers his appearance?"

Qi Ning knew that the prince was talking about a blood-sucking murderer, and shook his head: "The prince misunderstood, I did see the murderer, but I could not see his appearance. He wore a **** cloak, Covered his body, and wearing a mask on his face, it looked very scary. It was intentional to cover up the true face. "

"If you commit such a big case, of course you will not show people in their true colors." God Hou nodded slightly. "Have Lord Hou ever heard him speak? Remember his voice?"

Qi Ning shook his head: "He didn't speak from beginning to end, just ... Um, I remember he seemed to scream twice, his voice was very weird, like the roar of the beast."

"So what Xiaohou Ye saw was a murderer with a big cloak and a mask on his face." Shenhou said: "Little Xiaohou, can you tell whether he is a man or a woman?"

"Ah?" Qi Ning stunned, wondering: "Does the prince think he will be a woman?"

The sage looked serious, and said: "Before the evidence is clear, all hypothetical judgments must be taken into account. If the murderer is unexpectedly a woman, and we have concluded from the beginning that it is a man, then when we are looking for clues, we are going in the opposite direction. , Going farther and farther. "

Qi Ning thought that Jiang was still old and spicy, nodded and said: "Shenhou said very much, but judging from the sound he made that night, it should not be a woman."

Ximen Zhanying snorted beside him, and Qi Ning smiled: "Does the girl have any insight?"

Ximen warned: "Hou Jinyi, IMHO, you haven't tracked down the case. Perhaps you have seen too little. Sometimes you speak like a man, but you can't conclude that it's a man. The eunuchs in the palace all speak. Very sharp, like a woman, do you dare to say that the eunuchs in the palace are all women? "

Qi Ning smiled and said: "Tassel girl, as you mean, I want to ask, is the **** in the palace a man or a woman?"

Simon stunned, and his cheeks turned red, turning his head away, ignoring him.

"Little Master Hou, don't know her in general." Shen Hou smiled: "The mother of this girl went early, so I also indulged a little, and I was spoiled on weekdays, I don't know if the sky is thick, don't care."

Qi Ning waved his hand and said in a daunting way: "The tassel girl is still young. I don't know anything about her. The gods don't need to worry."

"You ...!" Xi Men warred his brows, showing a look of anger.

"Shenhou, why do you say that man wanted to kill and **** blood?" Qi Ning did not wait for the Ximen war to break out, and he looked at Ximen without traces. "I saw the corpse, most of the blood in the body was sucked away, one's stomach Ministry, how can you withstand so much blood? "

Shenhou said: "In fact, this kind of thing is not strange."

"Not that strange?" Qi Ning said horrifiedly: "Did the prince ever see anyone sucking blood?"

Shenhou said: "I don't hide from you, I haven't seen it with my own eyes before, but ... there are rumors on rivers and lakes."

"Dad, what's the rumor? Why have you never told me?" Simon Zhanying asked immediately.

"This is not a good thing, why should I tell you?" Shenhou glanced at Ximen Zhanying before he said: "Many years ago, I heard people say that there are some rivers and lakes scum, practicing some very strange kung fu, those are all The magic tricks on the sidelines of the gates are no more elegant, and they are all despised by the people of the rivers and lakes. But from the heart, those demon evil tricks, if they really want to practice successfully, are powerful and very powerful. "

"Shenhou said that the murderer sucked blood to practice exercises?" Qi Ning frowned.

The priest explained: "Cultivation of evil power can be opportunistic and tricky, and it can make its martial arts advance by some terrifying means. For example, some rivers and lakes squads use yin and yang to practice evil power, and some use highly toxic substances to enhance their skills and absorb Human blood practice is not rare, but it is not lacking. "After a pause, he said:" As far as I know, there was a blood-handed devil who made waves on the rivers and lakes more than seventy years ago. The way to practice is to take blood. "

Simon Zhanying's face was pale and horrified: "Daddy, will this murderer have anything to do with the blood-handed devil?"

"Tasseled girl, the blood-handed devil is a character seventy years ago. Where can I live to this day?" Qi Ning smiled and said: "Unless he has become a devil who has lived forever."

"Why is that impossible?" Simon Zhanying sneered.

"Even if he can really live for a hundred years, he can't live now." Qi Ning said: "Such a demon, do you think he can be let go on the rivers and lakes? God, if I am not wrong, then the blood-handed demon Jun must have died long ago. Otherwise, if the guy did n’t die, it would have been more than seventy years, then the martial arts must be invincible in the world, and someone could kill him? "

God Hou smiled and said: "Little Lord Hou said well, the blood-handed demon has been rampant on the rivers and lakes for only a few years, and he was killed by people's encirclement and suppression.

"Does he have no apprentices?" Ximen Zhanying is still not reconciled. "Dad, maybe the wrongdoing in Beijing today is the apprentice of the devil."

The prince shook his head and said: "That would not be the case, the devil is arrogant and arrogant, and I have not heard of any apprentices. If it does, it is impossible to hide in rivers and lakes for more than 70 years before suddenly appearing." Wei frowned. Tao: "If the murderer is really blood-sucking and practicing this time, he must be captured as soon as possible, otherwise he will be given time to fear that there will be more trouble."

Qi Ning hesitated for a while and finally said: "Holy prince, I think the identity of the murderer may be extraordinary."

"Oh?" Shenhou said: "Why did Xiaohou say this?"

"I saw that person's figure, unlike the average person, it was a bit majestic." Qi Ning frowned. "He was standing on the roof at the time, the big cloak fluttered, and looked at me from the top. That momentum ... , I looked at him at that time, just like seeing a big general reviewing his soldiers, I do n’t know why I felt that way, but ... that kind of feeling was very strong at the time, so I thought the murderer was absolutely Not ordinary people. "

Shenhou slightly nodded: "Xiao Cang also told me that Xiao Hou had provided the clue to that person that night." Wei Yi pondered, and said: "A person's temperament can not be possessed overnight, but It has been accumulated over many years, and after having such a temperament, it is difficult to conceal it.

"There is another very strange question." Qi Ning said: "Shenhou, you said that if the murderer just wanted to practice evil door black magic, why did he choose to commit crimes in Beijing? Everyone knows that Beijing is the heart of my big Chu In this place, masters are like clouds, and the garrison is stern, and it is the place where the princely mansion is located. This person kills and **** blood, and it is impossible not to be unnoticed. Would n’t he be asking for trouble if he did this? It ’s not difficult for some evil gate kung fu to go to some remote places to kill people and take blood. It must be odd in the capital. "

Ximen Zhanying was quite disgusted with Zing Ning, but when he heard this, he frowned, saying: "Dad, he ... what he said is not unreasonable, the murderer cannot know that once committed The case will definitely be watched by the court, but why should he do it? "

Shenhou looked at Qi Ning and asked, "What is your opinion?"

Qi Ning said: "I also thought about it. The most likely thing is that the man ... can't leave Beijing at all, or his identity is destined that he can't leave Beijing for a long time."

"Oh?" Shenhou said with interest: "Little Lord Hou, your speculation makes a lot of sense."

"Why can't he leave Beijing for a long time?" Ximen Zhanying looked at Qi Ning and asked.

Qi Ning picked up the wine glass, drank it, and then looked at the wine altar. Ximen Zhanying was originally full of curiosity. When he was so irritated by Qi Ning, he was a bit angry, but he could only hold the wine altar on.

Qi Ning then said: "Girl, think about yourself, what kind of people can't leave the capital? And once they leave for a long time, will it cause doubt?"

Simon's warfare only frowned, and did not answer.

"In my opinion, that person should be the one to be noticed, at least most of them are familiar with him." Qi Ning said slowly: "He cannot be like a businessman or a wanderer, wherever he goes, it will not cause others For the attention of such people, the reason why he cannot leave Beijing is because he still has duties in Beijing. Once he leaves, even if it is not known by most people, he will be at least noticed by the people around him Even suspicious. "

The prince stared at Qi Ning, his expression was solemn, and his eyes became radiant.

"So I think about it, and with some clues currently known, the vampire murderer is likely to be an official of the court." Qi Ningzheng said: "And this person may even be a military commander." : "There is another extremely critical clue."

"What clue?" Simon Zhan could not help asking.

"I said just now, that person cannot leave Beijing for a long time, but it does not mean that he cannot leave for a few days." Qi Ning said: "Many officials in Beijing have been away from Beijing for a few days, but in fact they will not be too noticeable, just for a long time. It will be suspicious. If the murderer is only for blood-sucking exercises, then you can occasionally spend two or three days away from Beijing, and it will not be particularly noticeable, but why is he still risking being chased by the court? Commit a crime? "

Ximen Zhanying was obviously attracted by Qi Ning's analysis and asked, "Why?"

"Because the murderer may not even be able to control time." Qi Ning said in a word: "He kills blood and cannot design according to his own time, but needs at any time, he can't control."
