Traditionelle Chinesische Medizin

Kapitel 15

Nangong Xue couldn't help but laugh.

Both men are so outstanding, there might actually be some BL (Boys' Love) undercurrents! This thought suddenly occurred to Yang Nianqing, and she immediately began to scrutinize them carefully. Finally, she shook her head. Both of them were too exceptional, both in appearance and demeanor; neither could possibly be the "bottom"...

The two men were puzzled to see her staring at them and shaking her head, unaware that she was lost in thought!

Nangong Xue finally couldn't help but ask, "Miss Yang?"

"Well?"

How impure! She immediately forced herself to stop thinking, secretly blaming herself for having such thoughts about them; she really felt bad for the handsome guys!

"Oh, you can just call me Xiao Nian."

Nangong Xue smiled and nodded, about to speak, when suddenly, as if struck by a violent gust of wind, the two windows, which had only been swaying slightly, slammed shut with a "bang"!

Before Yang Nianqing could react, she heard another "bang"!

When she came to her senses, all she saw were two windows shaking violently.

He Bi, who was seated there, was no longer there.

.

"Someone's here!" she finally shouted, uttering a meaningless phrase.

Li You glanced at her with amusement, then walked to the window to look for a moment. Finally, two bright eyes slowly moved to the coffin and settled on it.

His long eyebrows furrowed slightly, and he shook his head, seemingly puzzled, or perhaps worried about something.

Yang Nianqing looked out the window, then at the door, then at the ceiling, and asked in a trembling voice, "What's wrong?"

Li You frowned and remained silent.

Seeing his mysterious demeanor, Yang Nianqing pouted but dared not get angry—the murderer definitely wouldn't have just come here for a casual stroll. Since he lured He Bi out, there might be some bigger conspiracy. Of the three people here, Nangong Xue doesn't know martial arts, and she herself is a complete novice. Everything depends on this playboy. If she offends him, and something unexpected happens, her life will be over!

Immediately, Yang Nianqing decisively became a gentleman, setting aside past grievances, and carefully moved step by step to Li You's side, forcing a smile: "What exactly happened?"

Li You didn't answer, but sat back down in his chair and continued to ponder while looking at the coffin.

Seeing the strange look on his face, Nangong Xue smiled and said, "Brother Li, don't worry, Brother He's swordsmanship will definitely not be at a disadvantage..."

Before the words were finished—8c

Yang Nianqing felt a blur before her eyes, followed by a loud crash, as if a wooden board had been smashed to the ground.

The next moment, although she was in the handsome man's arms, she was neither surprised nor blushed nor angry. She just stared straight at the coffin in the center.

The coffin remained perfectly still in place. However, the coffin lid had fallen to the ground.

The cabin door was shaking incessantly.

Li You released her, his long eyelashes fluttering as his two sharp gazes shot towards the door. Nangong Xue's expression also changed; she quickly walked to the coffin, frowned, examined it carefully, and then sighed.

After a while.

Li You shifted his gaze and slowly walked to the coffin. Yang Nianqing immediately followed.

She only glanced at it by candlelight, and her face turned pale.

It wasn't because Zhang Mingchu's corpse in the coffin was scary; she had seen dead people at least twice before. It was just that now, something had suddenly appeared on that horrifying corpse.

dagger.

It was inserted into the corpse's chest, all the way down to the hilt.

Everything was calculated perfectly, without a single flaw. Nangong Xue was not a threat as she had no martial arts skills. He deliberately lured He Bi out to chase after her, and then used the pretext of attacking Yang Nianqing to divert Li You's attention. Only then did he have the opportunity to come in himself and leave this dagger on the corpse. He had calculated that Li You would not chase after him.

Therefore, it seems that his target was the corpse.

But Zhang Mingchu is already dead!

Has someone gone mad? Coming to assassinate a dead man!

The night was moonless, but somehow the hillside wasn't too dark.

Two dark figures darted past, one after the other.

From head to toe, including the hand gripping the knife hilt at his waist, his entire body was tense. His handsome face was somewhat blurred, but his bright black eyes were exceptionally sharp and piercing, like an eagle's, carrying a dangerous aura of hunting, as if he were ready to pounce and capture his prey at any moment.

The distance is getting closer and closer.

With a cold laugh, he was ready to make his move.

However, the figure speeding ahead unexpectedly stopped abruptly.

He Bi was slightly surprised and immediately stopped as well. He changed his posture and landed on the ground, but his right hand was still tightly gripping the hilt of the knife. He stared motionlessly at the dark figure a foot away.

A figure utterly alone.

finally.

He Bi coldly asked, "Who are you?"

He sighed and turned around: "I really shouldn't have let you see this."

The same pair of cold, bright, and incredibly sharp eyes, though less serious, now held a hint of evil and cruelty, making them quite conspicuous even in the darkness.

Kuroshiro!

He Bi was clearly also very surprised. It was rarer for an assassin to run into a detective than for a rabbit to run into a fox. It was like walking into a trap!

"Isn't it strange?" Kuroshiro grinned and chuckled twice, with his usual wicked smile. "I've killed a lot of people and committed many murders. It's only natural for you to take me now."

After a while.

“You are Lao Li’s friend,” He Bi looked at him and slowly said, “You haven’t killed anyone wrong in the last two years, and the higher-ups haven’t ordered me to arrest you. I never meddle in other people’s business.”

A moment of silence.

Kuroshiro laughed: "I have no friends."

He Bi didn't argue, but coldly said, "I heard you've always only taken on murder cases, but lately you seem to have changed a lot."

No words were spoken.

A chilly night wind swept by, and two figures stood silently in the night, both standing almost perfectly straight.

for a long time.

Hei Shiro lowered his head and said, "I can't say."

“I didn’t tell you to say anything,” He Bi suddenly interrupted. “There are some things Li You won’t say, but you’d better not take on any more business lately.”

There was no answer, but a hint of hesitation, rarely seen in assassins, flickered in those sinister eyes.

He suddenly raised his head and looked directly at He Bi: "Could you please not investigate this matter?"

Hei Shiro never asked anyone for anything.

He Bi remained silent with a cold expression.

Without needing to be spoken, the answer was already clear. Hei Shiro finally sighed: "Do you know why I lured you out?"

He Bi's expression changed slightly, but quickly returned to normal. She looked at him coldly and asked, "Are you going to help him?"

He remained silent for a long while.

"I owe him a debt of gratitude, you... be careful." The words had barely left his lips when he vanished.

.

The dagger was pulled out by a slender, clean hand, and gleamed with a cold light in the candlelight, like a deep, cold spring rippling with clear water.

Li You furrowed his long eyebrows: "Brother Nangong, do you recognize this?"

Nangong Xue sighed and smiled bitterly: "Not only do I recognize them, but I'm very familiar with them."

"Oh?" Li You wasn't surprised at all; in fact, he seemed to find it extremely interesting.

Yang Nianqing immediately asked, "Whose is it?"

Nangong Xue took the dagger: "It is all I have."

Actually, Yang Nianqing had already guessed the answer even without him saying it. Besides, there was a "snow" character engraved on it. If she still didn't understand, she would really be blind.

"The murderer definitely isn't you. You've been with us the whole time. Who would kill someone with a knife engraved with their own name?" She thought for a moment, then muttered, "He's crazy. Why would he kill someone who's already dead? He's a psychopath..."

Before she could finish speaking, Li You said in a deep voice, "This is bad!"

As soon as he finished speaking, a thick yellow-white smoke suddenly billowed from the coffin, as if it were on fire, accompanied by a strange burning smell, which spread throughout the cabin.

Yang Nianqing and Nangong Xue had been pushed back several steps by Li You before they finally stood still.

She was horrified: "This is..."

“Criminal fluid,” Li You frowned, “the smoke is poisonous.”

Nangong Xue was stunned for a long time before finally sighing, "I never imagined that this cremation water still exists in the world!"

The three of them stood there for a moment.

Li You looked at the dagger in his hand: "It's coated on the blade."

Nangong Xue nodded.

.

The situation was already complicated and strange enough. Several people died one after another inexplicably at Nangong Villa. The cause of death was the long-lost Ten Thousand Poison Blood Palm technique. Now, someone is trying to take the corpses, using the almost extinct cremation water!

Li You frowned, seemingly lost in thought again.

Thick smoke continued to billow out, and an unpleasant smell permeated the entire cabin. Yang Nianqing couldn't help but pinch her nose: "What are you thinking about?"
