Meng Xiaodie had often encountered situations like this.

People die for money, birds die for food. In the eerie castle of death, this sort of thing was no exception.

However, the boss of the grocery store had mysteriously died in his own home. He held the jewelry in his arms, as if he was dreaming about something.

Meng Xiaodie looked at him carefully. There were no wounds on his body, and there were no signs of a fight around him. There was only the abacus bead in the front hall, as if it was still in suspense.

Could it be because of those two shadows, that they were suddenly interested in money?

Meng Xiaodie squatted down and carefully looked at the shop owner's body, but she still couldn't find any clues.

He stood up and felt someone behind him. It should be two people.

Two men with swords.

Was it the two shadows that were following him? Meng Xiaodie didn't immediately turn around. She raised her head and looked at the golden Buddha in front of her. This golden Buddha was the size of a palm, and its two eyes were inlaid with rubies that shone with a strange red light.

"Did you kill him?"

The voice behind him was cold, like a ball of ice water being blown out.

Meng Xiaodie turned around. He saw two people standing in front of him. One of them was holding a sword in his arms, while the other was holding a knife.

"The bandits are calling for the thieves, it should be the two of you, right?" Meng Xiaodie glanced at the two of them. With just that one glance, he noticed that there was something unusual between their brows.

Meng Xiaodie revealed a hesitant look. He realized that these two were not assassins.

The person holding the sharp sword took out his identity plate from his pocket and waved it in front of Meng Xiaodie's eyes.

"We are the city's police officers. Let me ask you, did you kill him?"

Meng Xiaodie shook her head. I'm just a passerby who wants to stay here. "

"This is a grocery store, not an inn." The man looked around and a contemptuous smile appeared on his face. "You are trying to kill me."

Meng Xiaodie also revealed a contemptuous smile.

"You don't look like a constable."

"Nonsense, I'm a famous constable in the Mage City, my name is Yue Peng."

"Since you're a constable, why are you spouting nonsense? You said that I killed people, but do you have any proof?"

Yue Peng was stunned when he heard Meng Xiaodie's words.

"You are a foreigner, what are you doing in the city? I think you are not a good person." The saber-wielding constable glared at Meng Xiaodie, then turned to Yue Peng and said loudly, "Don't listen to his nagging. Bring him to the yamen, don't be afraid that he won't confess."

Meng Xiaodie sneered again in disdain.

"Master, you want to turn this fight into a battle of attrition? "I never thought that the officials of the Mage City would handle a case like this."

"So what if I am? I, Hong Kun, naturally have my own ways to deal with someone like you. "

The constable holding the sabre was named Hong Kun. He waved the sabre in his hand at Meng Xiaodie. His eyes were wide open and filled with a murderous aura.

Meng Xiaodie slightly raised her arm, as if she wanted to blow away the heavy air. With a clang, the blade in Hong Kun's hand fell to the ground.

"You, who are you?" Hong Kun was shocked. He did not expect the person in front of him to have such high martial arts skills. His hand did not touch himself, but the knife he was tightly gripping had left his hand. He felt his arm go numb.

Yue Peng, who was standing at the side, also couldn't see how Meng Xiaodie had attacked him. Her movements were too fast for him to react at all.

"If I wanted to kill someone, would you all still be alive?" Meng Xiaodie held her arms as she stared at the two officers.

Yue Peng and Hong Kun stood there in a daze. Behind them was the door to the grocery store, and the rain continued to fall.

In the heavy rain, there was a flash of a figure that seemed to have split apart the curtain of rain.

Meng Xiaodie had rarely seen such a fast movement art, so he knew that this person was definitely not someone to be trifled with.

"What a heavy rain. It's been over ten years since it's had such a heavy rain in the city. " While she was speaking, she stood in front of Meng Xiaodie.

"Constable Jiang." When Yue Peng and Hong Kun saw him, they hurriedly bowed and greeted him.

Constable Jiang is called Jiang Bufan. Not only is his lightness skill extraordinary, but his martial arts are also very impressive.

Jiang Bufan glanced at Meng Xiaodie, and his eyes revealed a trace of surprise.

"Heartless Black Sword, Meng Xiaodie. Could it be that you are the great hero Meng?"

"You know me?" Meng Xiaodie was also surprised.

He had never been to this place before. Furthermore, this place was far away from him, so how could his reputation reach this place?

"The black sword on your back is unrivalled in the martial world, especially your move that could howl through the sky. Even though I have never seen Hero Meng's face, I have heard many stories about you."

Meng Xiaodie was secretly surprised when she saw how heavy the rain was outside and how not even a single drop of water could be seen on Jiang Bufan's body.

"This lord's Qing Gong is probably peerless as well. Moreover, you used the Water Repellent Technique and didn't get a single trace of water on your body."

"Hahaha, I am Jiang Feifan, the constable of this castle. "It's my good fortune to meet Hero Meng today."

Constable Jiang turned around and looked at his two subordinates. He frowned slightly.

"Are you two trying to make things difficult for Hero Meng? Hurry up and apologize!" Great Hero Meng won't lower himself to your level. If he wants to make a move, will you two still be alive? "

When Yue Peng and Hong Kun heard their superior's words, they hurriedly bowed and apologized.

Meng Xiaodie waved her hand.

"Constable Jiang, they're here to handle a case as well. I am just a roaming wanderer, how can I be called a hero? Just call me Meng Xiaodie. "

Heroes cherish heroes. When Meng Xiaodie saw the righteousness between Jiang Feifan's eyebrows, she also had a bit of respect towards him in her heart.

"Good, good, good. Meng Xiaodie, since you've come to the Mage City, I'll treat you to dinner tonight. Let's go to a restaurant and get drunk."

"Constable Jiang, this case in front of us …" Meng Xiaodie lowered her head and stared at the shop owner.

"Oh, this guy deserved to die. His name is Feng Dama, and he is known as Iron Abacus. He is a great bandit, and I have been keeping an eye on him for a long time. The reason why he was killed today was probably due to the theft of a jewel many years ago.

"Iron Abacus, I have heard of this name before. He had once stolen a Jade Hibiscus from the Imperial Palace in the capital. That was a priceless jade carving. Constable Jiang, did you mention that case? "

Constable Jiang nodded.

"Yes, that's the case. At that time, there were two other accomplices, but Iron Abacus took the dirt and ran to this city where few people had ever been before. He changed his surname and disguised himself to open a grocery store."

As Meng Xiaodie and Jiang Bufan were talking, a shadow suddenly appeared outside of the room. Jiang Bufan let out a loud shout and chased after them.

Jiang Qisha's two lackeys also followed him out.

It was raining heavily outside, and the stone floor had already become a gully. The black shadow rapidly advanced along the stone road, stepping until water splashed everywhere.

And when Jiang Bufan performed his Qing Gong, not a single trace of water could be seen on his feet. He was getting closer and closer to the black shadow.

Yue Peng and Hong Kun's footwork was naturally inferior to Jiang Bufan's. Even when compared to the black shadow, they were still far behind. Seeing that they could not catch up, the two of them looked at each other and turned into an alley.
