After Zhou Yuer entered the room, Attendant also left.

At this time, Shi Qingzhou was on his way to Nanshan with shadow guard.

Swiftly advancing with his lightning-fast cultivation.

Half an hour later, Shi Qingzhou and more than ten shadow guard arrived at the foot of Nanshan.

Shi Qingzhou looked at the pitch black Nanshan in front of him. From here, he could still see the appearance of the forest above the Nanshan …

Pausing for a moment, Shi Qingzhou asked, "How many roads are there up the mountain?"

There was shadow guard who stayed in the Nanshan and was checking on the information on the Nanshan. Shi Qingzhou and the others had contacted shadow guard before they arrived, but now that Shi Qingzhou and the others had shadow guard over, Shi Qingzhou asked directly.

shadow guard, who was left behind, said directly, "Five."

"Are there any shortcuts?" Shi Qingzhou said again.

"Yes, but it's on the back of the mountain."

Shi Qingzhou thought about it and said, "How many shortcuts?"

"Just that one."

Hearing that, Shi Qingzhou said, "Alright, then let's go that way."

shadow guard had already figured out the situation on this side. After Shi Qingzhou said this, he immediately brought the other side to the shortcut.

Thus, after an entire hour, with the speed of Shi Qingzhou and the others, they finally arrived at the top of the mountain.

Along the way, Shi Qingzhou also stopped some time to observe, not to rest, but to observe. Some observed the mountain walls, some observed the ground beneath their feet, delaying them a little.

An hour later, they arrived at the summit of the mountain.

On the top of the mountain, Shi Qingzhou stopped once again.

On the waist of the Panshan was a mountain that was connected to the other side. That was a dense forest.

Although the shortcut that Shi Qingzhou and the others took would pass the edge of the forest, they never entered.

shadow guard would not refute Shi Qingzhou's order. Although he was confused as to why the other party did not follow the path that Zhou Huan had taken, they would not ask Shi Qingzhou if he did not say so.

Shi Qingzhou observed the mountain for a long time. In the end, he didn't say anything when he left.

However, Shi Qingzhou stayed at the top of the mountain for around half an hour. It could be said that he had gone all the way around the mountain.

Afterwards, Shi Qingzhou left behind shadow guard who was searching for information on the Nanshan to continue searching for information, while he and shadow guard who followed him back.

No one knew what Shi Qingzhou found, not even shadow guard who went with him.

Anyway, shadow guard didn't find anything.

When Shi Qingzhou brought shadow guard back to the Imperial City, it was already early in the morning.

Shi Qingzhou was about to head straight to the house when shadow guard came over and told him that another case had occurred in the east side of the city, just one incense stick ago!

Shi Qingzhou's gaze turned cold. East of the city? "

"Yes." shadow guard said in a low voice.

Shi Qingzhou said lightly, "Let's go take a look."

Even if Qing Gong took an incense stick of time to get to the east of the city, it would still take him at least an hour to get there.

When Shi Qingzhou and the others arrived, they found that the Ministry of Justice's Vice Minister Hu Qingyuan was already there.

When Shi Qingzhou walked over, Hu Qingyuan was immediately stunned when he saw Shi Qingzhou. Just as he was about to bow, Shi Qingzhou shook his head slightly.

All of a sudden, Hu Qingyuan pretended not to notice Shi Qingzhou.

shadow guard, who was under Shi Qingzhou's command, showed their tokens, so no one stopped them when he and Shi Qingzhou went over.

However, other than Hu Qingyuan, no one knew their true identity.

The victim was another dead person, exactly the same as the first one. The blood was sucked dry, and there was not a single trace of other blood at the scene. The murderer sucked up the blood of the dead person, but didn't leave any dirty blood at the scene?

There was not a single trace of blood on the ground!

Even the real blood sucking mania wouldn't be able to do that, right?

Shi Qingzhou frowned and walked around the corpse for a few steps. In the end, Shi Qingzhou didn't find anything.

On the other hand, Hu Qingyuan found something in the hair of the dead person.

"Eh? "What is this?"

Shi Qingzhou immediately looked over and saw something in Shi Qingzhou's hand.

Shi Qingzhou walked over, "What is it?"

Hu Qingyuan placed the item on the kernels and showed it to Shi Qingzhou.

Shi Qingzhou took a look. This is... Master? "

"Something on a brush." Hu Qingyuan said.

The brushes were all made by their masters. This piece on the dead man's head looked a little like the thing on the brushes. It was a small piece of bamboo.

"I'll find someone to ask if this new house has the four treasures of the study and if they can come into contact with these items." Hu Qingyuan immediately said.

Shi Qingzhou nodded and didn't say anything.

When they were about to leave, Shi Qingzhou thought for a while and said, "The night watch is suspended. Be careful of these people."

"I understand." Shi Qingzhou didn't want to reveal his identity, so Hu Qingyuan called himself that.

After Shi Qingzhou left, Hu Qingyuan looked at the items on the kernels and pondered.

This small piece of the master was in the hair of the deceased, but the hidden part was not deep … If this thing doesn't belong to the dead, it belongs to the murderer...

Was the murderer intentional or … What do you want to say?

Hu Qingyuan looked at the little thing on the kernels. After a long while, he put it away.

Shi Qingzhou returned to the house. He walked around the house, but didn't find anything strange, so he left for the Heavencraft Tower.

Last night, something happened at the Heavencraft Tower. I wonder how the situation is today …

After Shi Qingzhou left the house, in one of the rooms in the house, a servant girl was lying on the bed, taking a nap.

After that, the little girl fell asleep on the bed.

A woman appeared in the room, smiling as she looked at the person on the bed.

"Aunt, I really didn't expect you to be so rational …" "He can actually hide things."

The person on the bed did not speak. His eyes were staring at the incoming person.

The girl smiled again. Truthfully, when Doctor Zhang told you to write with a brush, I didn't even know when you broke that piece of brush. Aunt, you're really amazing. "

The person on the bed was trembling.

The lady patted the person on the bed on the cheek. "Aunt ah, looks like I can only increase the medicinal strength of the pill. Who told Aunt to have her own rationality? This really isn't a good thing for my niece …"

The person on the bed watched as the woman approached. She wanted to struggle, but she couldn't move.

Thus, she could only watch helplessly as the girl approached her, took out something, and then stuffed it into her mouth …

Less than half an hour later, Shi Qingzhou arrived at Heavencraft Tower.

Zou Qingyuan was still awake. He seemed to know Shi Qingzhou would come and was waiting for him.

Shi Qingzhou didn't waste any time, and directly asked: "Did Brother Zou send anyone to monitor the activity on the street?"

Zou Qingyuan nodded. "Yes, but I didn't find anything."

Shi Qingzhou slightly pursed his lips. In fact, not only the Heavencraft Tower, the imperial government had also sent people to watch the commotion.

The people who died last night were even more powerful, so naturally, he had to pay attention to this matter today.

However, that person had appeared out of nowhere. It was an unfathomably short period of time from the start to the end.

In addition, there were a total of five people fighting in the four directions of the Imperial City. They couldn't send a large number of people to every single one of them.

So, it was shadow guard, the three guards in the dark. He followed her at a distance, neither too close nor too close.

Unexpectedly, even though they had already arranged for him to attack, he was still killed without him realizing it. The people following him only realised something was wrong after hearing the scream.

Shi Qingzhou felt that something was wrong with the situation. From the moment he heard the scream to the moment he rushed over, it was only a short period of time. If it wasn't that much longer than an instant, how could he be there without even seeing the killer's shadow hair!

This matter... Just thinking about it was very strange!

"Brother Stone, I don't believe in ghosts and gods, but now … However, I believe that someone in the martial arts world would be able to achieve such a speed. The time it takes to hear the sound to rush over is too short, how could someone kill someone and suck out their blood in such a short amount of time, and then disappear without a trace? "

Shi Qingzhou frowned. There are no ghosts or gods. "

Zou Qingyuan could only smile bitterly.

Shi Qingzhou pursed his lips, and finally said lightly: "I have to go first, the problem here..." Brother Zou, keep an eye out. "

Zou Qingyuan sighed. Although nothing happened to Heavencraft Tower tonight, I have a feeling that he was involved in this as well … "I'll pay attention."

Shi Qingzhou nodded. Just as he was about to say a few words of thanks, he heard a surprised exclamation from outside.

When Shi Qingzhou and Zou Qingyuan heard this, they both jumped out simultaneously.

Outside, they found the source of the sound. Shi Qingzhou and Zou Qingyuan only saw a servant girl sitting on the ground screaming. In front of that servant girl was a dog.

The maidservants seemed to have some foundation in martial arts, but only a little bit.

After the maid fell to the ground, the dog pounced on her.

Zou Qingyuan quickly acted and saved the girl when the dog was about to bite the servant girl.

The dog was originally about the size of an ordinary watchdog. It had been drained of all its blood, but its strength was extraordinary.

Zou Qingyuan finally pierced the dog's head with his sword, then the dog fell down.

Shi Qingzhou's face was extremely gloomy.

When the dog fell, the maid was so frightened that her face was drained of blood.

Zou Qingyuan asked, "Where did this dog come from?"

"I don't know." "The servant girl looked like she was about to cry." I suddenly heard a sound and saw something pouncing towards me. I cried out in shock as I instinctively faced off against the enemy. Who would have thought that this dog would have such frightening strength that it would be hard to deal with. "

The maidservant looked as though she still had a lingering fear.

Shi Qingzhou and Zou Qingyuan both frowned.

After frowning, Zou Qingyuan asked the maidservants two questions. The maidservants couldn't answer any of his questions. After that, Zou Qingyuan hurriedly went to investigate other questions …

Shi Qingzhou also frowned.

He walked over to the dead dog, who had now closed his eyes.

Shi Qingzhou thought for a moment and said, "Servants, bring this dog to the mansion and let Imperial Physician Zhang have a good look."

"Yes." When shadow guard heard this, he quickly left with his dog.

Shi Qingzhou pursed his lips, did not stay in Heavencraft Tower any longer, and left …

When he returned to the palace, it was almost dawn. Shi Qingzhou didn't want the smell of dust on his body to disturb Long Xiaoyuan. Plus, he had come in contact with the dead.

Thus, Shi Qingzhou went to the bathroom, and only stood up after soaking in the hot spring for a while …

When he returned to the bedroom, Long Xiaoyuan was lying on the bed by himself. Shi Qingzhou didn't know why but he felt … It was a bit pitiful.

Of course, the one that was pitiful was not Long Xiaoyuan, but rather the other party's solitary appearance!
