I use my daughter's body to cut down the rivers and lakes

Chapter 43 The Mantis Catches the Cicada Oriole Behind
  Lu Yishan, the head catcher of Liumen General Office, is good at using a claw technique called "Star Reaching Hand".

Liu Qi recalled the scene in the lobby. She kept her head lowered and could not see Lu Yishan's face carefully, but she could see the other person's hands clearly. The five fingers were indeed different from ordinary people, especially the joints of the three middle fingers of the left hand. There are thick calluses.

Is it the Black Snake Gang or Tiancheng Gambling House?
  Liu Qi sat alone in the room and fell into deep thought.

Obviously, Lu Yishan had found out that the people who died outside the inn were coming for Liu Qi, but after today's questioning, Liu Qi vaguely felt that Lu Yishan was not here to investigate the case.

While in the lobby, Lu Yishan activated his Qi several times when he was close to Liu Qi, as if he wanted to find out whether Liu Qi possessed martial arts.

However, Liu Qi practiced the pure ancient Liu Xin method, and his internal strength was better than Lu Yishan's. Therefore, no matter how Lu Yishan stimulated the true energy, he could not resonate with the true energy in Liu Qi's body.

In addition, with Liu Zongxun's "father" present, Lu Yishan did not dare to investigate directly.

Therefore, Liu Qi was sure that the other party did not know the details of his martial arts.

The purpose of coming up is to find out the details of martial arts. This is not Liumen's style of doing things.

Even if it was found out that the dead people came for her, they would not doubt her as the nominal victim.

Therefore, there are only two possibilities left for the people behind Lu Yishan.

One is Tiancheng Gambling House, which issued a mission. The mission failed, so they sent someone to explore their true identity.

The second is the force behind the group of killers who died in the hands of Liu Qi, the Black Snake Gang!

A hint of murderous intent passed through Liu Qi's eyes.

Who it is will be revealed tonight!

……

It's night, and night covers the earth.

In the left wing, Cuixiang was sleeping soundly.

Beside her bed, a figure quietly appeared.

It might take a little longer tonight, Liu Qi thought, so she stretched out her hand from the night mist and quickly touched Cuixiang's body.

"It's enough for her to sleep until dawn." Seeing that Cuixiang had fallen into a deep unconscious sleep, Liu Qi's figure slowly disappeared from the night mist.

……

In Tiancheng Gambling House, the lights are still bright.

"big big big……"

"Small! Small! Small..."

Under the shadow of the eaves directly opposite the gambling house, Liu Qi leaned against the wall, listening to the hysterical sounds in the gambling house, and waited calmly.

Tiancheng Casino is located at the intersection of the west and south of the city. Not only the people from the south of the city come here to have fun, but also the dignitaries from the west of the city.

To be able to open a gambling house in this kind of area, the people behind it are certainly not simple.

But what Liu Qi is not looking for is the person behind Tiancheng Gambling House. What she is looking for is Boss Du, the gambling house's watchman and bill collector.

In other words...a dog in a gambling house.

Liu Qi hugged the knife with both hands, hiding in the darkness, closing her eyes and waiting for the opportunity to come.

I don't know how much time had passed, but when she heard the sound of the third watch in the distance, Liu Qi suddenly opened her eyes, with a glimmer of light flashing in her eyes.

At this time, the noisy sounds in the gambling house gradually subsided, and several customers who were swearing were sent out one by one.

"Gentlemen, hurry up early tomorrow!"

The waiter at the gambling house who saw off the last customer was about to close the door when suddenly three figures appeared from the night-shrouded street, and then walked straight to the gambling house gate with tight steps.

When he could clearly see the cold glimmering blades in the hands of the three figures through the lights in the lobby of the casino behind him, the face of the boy who was about to close the door changed drastically.

"No, guys, fuck that guy!"

"Go and call Boss Du!"

"kill!"

"Pfft-"

……

The sound of the blade penetrating into flesh reached Liu Qi's ears. She stared coldly at the lobby of the casino where the swords were flying, but did not take action.

The three sword slaves are completely a dimensionality reduction attack for the gambling hall.

Four or five seemingly strong men were all knocked to the ground by three sword slaves in less than three rounds.

"He Fang Xiaoxiao dares to come to Tiancheng Casino to cause trouble. I don't want to live anymore!"

At this moment, a roar came from the gambling house, and Liu Qi saw a tall figure rushing towards the three sword slaves, and soon the four of them were fighting.

Although they were across a street, Liu Qi could clearly see that the tall man was wielding a long sword. His swordsmanship was clean and neat, and he had the upper hand against the three sword slaves.

laugh--

A sword slave was unable to dodge, and the cold light flashed across his neck, and then he was thrown away.

One of the three sword slaves has gone, and the remaining two sword slaves are struggling to hold on. Facing the overwhelming sword shadow of the tall man, they can no longer withstand it!        Chi! laugh!
  There were two more sounds of the sword cutting across the skin.

Liu Qi, who was under the shadow of the eaves, stared at the tall man standing with a sword in the lobby of the casino, and the corners of his mouth could not help but curl up slightly.

……

"Boss, they are all new faces!"

When Boss Du heard what his subordinates said, he couldn't help but frowned: "Is it the same as last time?"

The two surviving boys nodded, and one of them picked up the knife dropped by the knife slave. After looking at it for a long time, he said, "Even the weapons are the same."

Boss Du's heart sank when he heard this: "It seems that you are not here for me!"

Boss Du didn't take it seriously when he was assassinated before. He has been in this business for more than twenty years, and he has countless life lawsuits on his hands. There are more than one or two people who want his life.

But the same killer actually found Tiancheng Gambling House, which showed that the other party was not only after his own life, which made Boss Du have to be vigilant.

"You guys find someone to clean up this place."

"I have to go out for something."

……

Boss Du walked through the streets shrouded in night fog, with a sword hanging from his waist. He paused from time to time, deliberately avoiding the patrol routes of officers and soldiers.

Not far behind Boss Du, another figure followed quietly.

The two walked one behind the other until they came to a gorgeous four-story building in the west of the city.

Above the gate, the three words "Fuxiangyuan" are written on a golden plaque. The handwriting is strong and powerful, and you can tell at a glance that it was written by everyone.

Across the street, Liu Qi, who was hiding at the entrance of a dark alley, had already smelled the scent of rouge powder coming towards his face. He glanced at the smiling young girls inside the door and immediately understood what kind of place this was.

Broth!

Liu Qi lowered her head and looked at her clothes. She was wearing a close-fitting black dress.

This kind of dress seems a little inappropriate for entering and leaving a brothel.

Liu Qi thought for a while, and then disappeared into the dark alley.

Of course she would not give up. Liu Qi walked around Fuxiangyuan and finally found the back door in an alley.

Just as she was about to climb over the wall and enter through the back door, she heard a "squeak" sound, the back door opened, and then a familiar figure walked out first.

It was none other than Boss Du who had entered Fuxiangyuan before!

Liu Qi, who was hiding in the alleyway, could only see Boss Du's face clearly now. He looked like a handsome man with thick eyebrows and big eyes. He saw him walking out of the back door, then turned towards the back door and bowed respectfully to one side.

Then Liu Qi saw a young man in rich clothes walking out.

Following the young man out of the back door, there was an old man with smart clothes and mottled hair.

"Hmph!" The man in brocade clothes couldn't help but snorted coldly when he looked at Mr. Du, and then scolded him unceremoniously, "Trash, you can't handle even a small thing."

Boss Du, who had just gone on a killing spree in the gambling den to fight one against three, could only grovel and nod his head.

A carriage slowly drove into the alley and stopped at the back gate of Fuxiangyuan.

The man in brocade clothes got into the car first, followed closely by the old man.

After the old man got on the carriage, the carriage started. As for Mr. Du, he could only follow closely behind the carriage with two legs.

When Liu Qi saw that the carriage had driven out of the alley at the other end, he appeared and headed in the direction of the carriage.

to a spacious street in the west of the city.

Liu Qi saw the carriage stop in the street.

Familiarly, she ducked to the eaves on the side and disappeared into the shadows.

"Friend, I'm following you all the way."

"Why don't you come out and meet me?"

A low voice reached Liu Qi's ears. She focused her eyes and immediately looked towards the source of the voice, which was in the carriage parked in the center of the street.

At some point, the old man in smart attire was already standing on the street behind the carriage.

"Hmph, I still want to hide it!" The old man snorted coldly, then picked up an object in his hand and flicked it to the eaves not far away.

Whoosh!
  A strong wind hit, Liu Qi stretched out his hand to grab, and then jumped out from the shadow of the eaves, standing in the street, facing the old man.

Liu Qi faced the old man and stretched out his left hand and spread his palm.

At this time, the bright moon poked out half of its face from the floating clouds. The moonlight fell on Liu Qi's palm, and a dark bead reflected the moonlight.

Click!

With a crisp sound, the old man who was looking at Liu Qi proudly suddenly changed his expression slightly.

Taking a closer look, he saw that the beads in Liu Qi's palm had broken into pieces!
