This mixed martial arts is not serious

Chapter 190 Upstairs
"Hey, do you two want to order a newspaper or send me some news?"

"Sending wind" is a term used by Jianghu newspapers, which actually means "sending letters".

[Jianghu Newspaper Office] naturally cannot rely entirely on itself to collect Jianghu information. After all, personal power is limited, so [Jianghu Newspaper Office] has always had the habit of offering rewards.

As long as someone can send unique information, the newspaper will give the other party a corresponding reward based on the value of the information.

This behavior is called "sending air".

"We came to see Deputy Director Chen, and we hope that the old gentleman will inform you." Shangguan Haitang said straight to the point.

Deputy Director Chen······
The old man behind the counter glanced at the two of them and said hesitantly: "I'm sorry for my blindness, but I wonder who you two are?"

"This is Shangguan Haitang."

"It turns out to be the owner of Shangguan Village of [No. 1 Village of Ming Dynasty]. I have admired him for a long time."

When he heard Shangguan Haitang introduce himself to his family, the old man's eyes suddenly lit up, he clasped his fists and said: "The deputy director is handling matters in the study at the moment. I will take you two there right now."

At this moment, the tip of Luo Yang's nose moved slightly, and his eyes suddenly changed: "Something's wrong, there's the smell of blood in it."

Shangguan Haitang frowned slightly.

The old man spoke respectfully.

Shangguan Haitang also explained in a voice that only he and Luo Yang could hear: "This Deputy Director Chen used to be Bai Xiaosheng's deputy. Ever since Wanda Guanren bought [Jianghu Newspaper Office], he Promoted to deputy director."

Call ~
The wind outside the window blew into the study room, blowing up the pages scattered on the ground. One of the pages floated in the air for a while like a fallen leaf. Finally, it snapped and was imprinted on a thin man lying on his back on a mahogany chair behind the desk. The old man's face.

The old man walked out of the counter and led the two of them upstairs with a smile.

However, after waiting for three or four breaths, there was still no response from the study.

"So among the [Jianghu Newspaper Office], who is most likely to know what Bai Xiaosheng did in the past, Deputy Director Chen is the most likely."

Take advantage of the time you have to go upstairs.

This statement came out.

After arriving on the sixth floor, the three of them walked along the wooden corridor and finally stopped in front of a room at the edge of the tower: "The deputy director is in poor health and needs to breathe fresh air."

However, after waiting for five or six breaths, there was no response from the study.

The tower of [Jianghu Newspaper Hall] has seven floors in total, and only the owner of the top floor can enter.

After the old man briefly explained why the dignified deputy director's study was located in such a remote place, he reached out and knocked on the door:
"Deputy owner, owner of Shangguan Village of [No. 1 Village of Ming Dynasty] is here to visit."

"Deputy owner, owner of Shangguan Village of [No. 1 Village of Ming Dynasty] is here to visit."

While the two were talking, the old man had already brought Luo Yang and Shangguan Haitang to the sixth floor.

rear.

The old man increased his voice and shouted again.

Shangguan Haitang's expression suddenly changed, and he rushed forward decisively, ignoring the old man's stop, and pushed open the door.

A drop of blush first penetrated the white paper, and then the blush quickly expanded, dyeing the entire paper bright red in the blink of an eye.

"Deputy, deputy director..."

Seeing the scene in front of him, the old man at the door's pupils suddenly widened, his face turned pale, his feet weakened, and he collapsed directly to the ground. Shangguan Haitang's pupils also shrank, and he quickly walked into the study and came to the side of the skinny old man...that is, Deputy Director Chen. He stretched out his hand to feel the other person's nose, and then touched the other person's carotid artery.

"It's hopeless."

Shangguan Haitang's expression turned gloomy.

Luo Yang also walked into the study at this time. He looked around first. Judging from the layout alone, apart from being slightly messy, there was nothing special about this study.

He walked to the body of Deputy Director Chen and also reached out to touch the other person's neck.

"The blood is still warm, and the skin of the corpse is still very elastic. It should not have been long since the death."

"You mean..."

"The murderer probably hasn't escaped yet."

Shangguan Haitang immediately locked his eyes on the only window in the entire study. There were only two doors and two windows in the study. They had come from outside before. If the murderer left through the door, they would not have noticed it. .

Therefore, there is only one escape route for the murderer.

Shangguan Haitang walked to the window and looked out. After a while, she found a faint footprint on a corner of the eaves below.

This made Shangguan Haitang's spirit perk up. He jumped up and planned to climb out of the window.

But just as she was about to move, a hand suddenly pressed down on her shoulder from behind. The hand seemed to be gentle, but the moment it rested on Shangguan Haitang's shoulder, Shangguan Haitang felt as if she was being held by A mountain suppresses him, and he has no ability to resist at all.

Just when Shangguan Haitang was feeling horrified by this, Luo Yang's voice sounded from behind: "Master Shangguan Village, are you planning to chase him out?"

"Correct."

Shangguan Haitang slightly suppressed the shock in his heart and replied: "The murderer did not escape for a long time. I want to try to see if I can find traces of him."

Luo Yang smiled and said: "Master Shangguan Village is really a little dizzy! Master Shangguan Village might as well put himself in his shoes and think about it. If you had just killed Deputy Master Chen, would you choose to look out of the window in broad daylight?" Escape?"

Shangguan Haitang was startled.

Before she could reply, she heard Luo Yang continue: "[Jianghu Newspaper Office] is different from most other sects in the Jianghu. This place is based on the Jianghu with fresh and timely "news"."

"When the owner of Shangguan Villa came in just now, he must have seen it. There were crowds of people coming and going all the time in all directions of the tower, and there were even flying pigeons flying in the sky."

"So no matter how high your Qinggong is, it is almost impossible to go down from the sixth floor to the first floor from outside the tower in broad daylight without being noticed."

"But since we arrived at the tower, has Master Shangguan heard any strange movement outside?"

Shangguan Haitang is not stupid. He just ignored the details in a moment of anxiety. At this moment, after Luo Yang reminded him, Shangguan Haitang immediately came back to his senses: "Mr. Luo, you mean..."

Halfway through his words, Shangguan Haitang stopped and began to look around cautiously.

But this study room is not big.

Basically, you can have a panoramic view of the entire room at a glance.

Shangguan Haitang checked back and forth several times, but still found nothing, so he had to turn his questioning eyes to Luo Yang.

Facing Shangguan Haitang's eyes, Luo Yang also said nothing. He just pointed at the top of his head and said, "It is indeed easy to be discovered if you run down, but if you go up, it is a different matter."

thump~
As soon as Luo Yang finished speaking, he heard a strange noise coming from upstairs.
