Chapter 109 Real and fake white-haired banshee
Han Ruoli's mood was very heavy. After leaving Luohe Town, he hasn't talked much. Shangguan Yanran and Han Ruoli rode on Ao Xue together. Shangguan Yanran felt that Han Ruoli was unhappy and said to himself, "It's all my fault. I'm going to separate as soon as you meet."
Han Ruoli shook his head, "It's none of your business. It seems that a lot has changed."
"Has it changed?" Shangguan Yanran didn't know what Han Ruoli meant, and asked, "What has changed?"
"Feeling!" Han Ruoli said with certainty, "People say that time is the most ruthless killer and can change everything. I have to admit that some emotions have unconsciously gone away quietly, and when I go back on them, they have all changed."
Shangguan Yanran didn't say anything, and Li Wangba said with a smile, "Brother Han, if you change, it will change. Isn't it enough to change him back?"
Han Ruoli felt that it was harder to communicate with Li Wangba than to play the piano, and he was too lazy to pay attention to him. He said to himself, "How long can you like a person? One day? One month? One year? Or a lifetime? Sometimes it's very contradictory. I don't know what I'm pursuing. I grew up without a father or mother. I grew up in the pity hall and suffered all kinds of bullying and torture. Almost a year ago, I met Tang Jieyu. She gave me a second life. Without her, I would still be my calf in the mercy hall now.
Shangguan Yanran didn't expect that Han Ruoli's life would be so desolate. The little cowboy in the pitiful hall was equivalent to a prostitute in a brothel. Female, the tragic fate can be imagined.
Han Ruoli continued to express her feelings. "I met Tang Jieyu. I regarded her as my first good friend. The people of the Tang Mansion were very sorry for me and suspected that I had stolen the jewelry of the Tang Mansion, but I didn't. That time, Tang Jieyu didn't believe it either. Fortunately, I quickly found the thief. I offended Mrs. Liu and was imprisoned. When I was about to be killed, it was Tang Jieyu who took the risk to rescue me. I remember all this. At that time, Jieyu and I were so intimate. Why did the times change, but it was much stranger?
Shangguan Yanran didn't expect Han Ruoli to say this to herself, which also gave her a deeper understanding of Han Ruoli and comforted her, "I can see that Miss Tang still likes you very much. You should be happy."
Han Ruoli smiled bitterly. He said so much unconsciously. He pulled the reins and said to Li Wangba, "Let's go quickly, or we can't find the inn before dark."
Li Wangba immediately hung several bags, food and wine, and took dozens of taels of silver with him. He said proudly, "There are two people right away, and I only have one here. Can you catch up with me?"
Han Ruoli pulled the reins, and Aoxue cried. In a blink of an eye, he left Li Wangba behind. Li Wangba shouted, "Wait for me... wait for me... dog. Fuck the horse! Hurry up, hurry up..."
Before dark, Han Ruoli and the three of them went to a town. It was much smaller than Luohe Town, and there were not many people. They found an inn to settle down. Every time they went to an inn, Han Ruoli would choose to sit on the first floor and listen to what the people here were discussing. Li Wangba was rich and ordered a table. Please Han Ruoli and Shangguan Yanran eat and drink here, and constantly help Shangguan Yanran pick up vegetables.
Shangguan Yanran still felt that Li Wangba's chopsticks were dirty, so she simply didn't even use her own bowl or eat the dishes in the bowl.
Life in the inn is booming, and everything is said. While chatting, several officers and soldiers came in and knocked on the gong to attract the attention of everyone. Everyone quietly looked at several officers and soldiers at the door. The leading officer and soldier opened a picture and asked, "Have you ever seen this person?" There is a woman in the picture. The officer and soldier said, "This man is a white-haired banshee. She did a lot of evil in the world some time ago. Now she has come out again. Last night, she killed all the young members of Mr. Zhang's family in our town. If you meet this white-haired banshee and report it to the government, you will be rewarded."
Han Ruoli looked at the painting. The person on it was indeed Ling Qianxue. He didn't understand why Ling Qianxue appeared here? Who is that old man?
"Who dares to report it!" One person said, "This white-haired banshee kills people without blinking an eye. I heard that on the top of Huashan, she killed the people of the Wuyue Sword School. Even the people taken by Lei Wanzhi, the leader of the martial arts alliance, dared not touch the banshee."
"If you say so, isn't this white-haired banshee invincible? Can the officers and soldiers catch it?"
"What is the hatred between this white-haired banshee and Master Zhang? Why did you kill all of Mr. Jiang's family?
“......”
For a moment, Han Ruoli was even more confused and asked, "Who is this old man?"
"You are a stranger, aren't you?" One person said, "Mr. Zhang is the Taishan Beidou in Sanliu Town. You don't even know the name of Mr. Zhang. He is really ignorant."
Han Ruoli said with a friendly smile, "I'm indeed a stranger. I heard that this white-haired banshee is evil. Presumably this old man must be a rich man before he was robbed by the white-haired banshee. Robbery, right?
"You are wrong." The man said, "Mr. Zhang is extremely poor and makes a living by fortune-telling. He is the most qualified person in Sanliu Town. If he has money, he can understand that the white-haired banshee only has three adopted orphans under his knees in order to rob money. He is still not old. Why does this white-haired banshee kill such a person? Hey! It's really shameful and hateful."
Han Ruoli must not be simple. Is it because of Ling Qianxue's illness? In addition, Han Ruoli could not think of any other reasons, and Ling Qianxue attacked such an old man.
The man at the other table said, "This white-haired banshee has killed three families in a row. I don't know who to kill tonight. I dare not sleep at home before I came to the inn."
"Brother, you are so smart." Another person said, "I thought of you. I really hope that the white-haired banshee will leave Sanliu Town as soon as possible. I don't know how Sanliu has offended this evil star."
Hearing what others said, Han Ruoli was sure that this white-haired banshee must have pretended to be Ling Qianxue. Who on earth pretended to be Ling Qianxue? What's the purpose? Han Ruoli asked, "Do these killed people have any signs at home the night before?" Or a hint or something?"
A man hurriedly said, "Do you have to tell others in advance when you kill people?"
Han Ruoli originally wanted to ask who was in trouble tonight. He didn't expect others to argue. Han Ruoli casually said, "Then how do you know that the white-haired banshee did it?"
The officers and soldiers at the door said, "There is white hair as evidence." With that, he held a wisp of white hair in his hand, "I found this in three families at the same time, and there was a white-haired banshee. Who else's hair is so long? And it's still white."
Han Ruoli saw your strand of hair and was more sure that it was not Ling Qianxue's hair. Ling Qianxue's hair was as thin as silver silk and vertical down. Although the white hair in the officer and soldier's hand was very long, it was curved and not beautiful at all. "Sir, can you show me the body?"
The officer and soldier asked, "What? Do you still have an autopsy?
Han Ruoli smiled and said, "I know a little bit. I hope I can help."
The officer and soldier said, "Go ahead, I'm afraid you won't be able to eat after you see it."
Han Ruoli said to Shangguan Yanran and Li Wangba, "You take a break here. I'll go to the government office with the soldier to see the body and come back soon."
"I'll go with you, too." Shangguan Yanran didn't want to leave Han Ruoli for a moment. She knew the relationship between Han Ruoli and Ling Qianxue, and she could also be sure that this matter would definitely delay the trip, as long as Han Ruoli was by her side.
Li Wangba also wanted to leave. He could get close to Shangguan Yanran. Seeing that these two people were going to marry with the officers and soldiers, Li Wangba also followed and shouted, "Wait for me."
Three people followed the officers and soldiers to the government office and saw that the body was covered with white cloth. The dead people in the past few days were here. Han Ruoli lifted the body. The body was covered with several swords, and the flesh was jumped away. The old man's abdomen and chest was stabbed with a sword, his throat was also broken, and even his eyes were pierced by a sword. Han Ruoli's finger The old man's wound asked, "Any of these three moves is fatal. Why kill three times in a row?"
The officers and soldiers sneered and said, "You are really boring. The cruelty of the white-haired banshee's methods are enough to show. Do you still need to ask?"
Han Ruoli asked, "Have you ever heard that the white-haired banshee killed people on the top of Mount Hua?"
The officers and soldiers said, "I heard that dozens of people were killed."
"That's right!" Han Ruoli said, "If everyone assassinated so many deadly wounds, how can she kill dozens of people in a period of time? As far as I know, the white-haired banshee has always been the key point of killing with a sword, and there will never be a second sword, which is also a taboo for martial arts practitioners.
When the officers and soldiers saw that Han Ruoli's words were reasonable, they asked, "Then why did she kill people without any appearance and die more cruelly?"
Han Ruoli said, "There is only one purpose to make others hate themselves more."
The officers and soldiers scratched their heads and said, "Are you crazy, this white-haired banshee? Why do you make others hate yourself? I don't understand! I don't understand!"
Li Wangba said, "Of course, the banshee can't be considered by ordinary people's thinking. Is it Mr. Han?" Li Wangba said very proudly and deliberately showed it in front of Shangguan Yanran, "In my opinion, this banshee just wants to be famous."
Han Ruoli didn't care about him. When Li Wangba was farting, Shangguan Yanran answered the questions of the officers and soldiers and said, "There is only one answer. This person is not a white-haired banshee."
The officers and soldiers shook their heads, "Impossible! Impossible! This gray hair is proof.
Han Ruoli asked, "Do these three dead families have anything in common?"
The officer and soldier said, "The first time he died was the family of the master of Yamen, and the second time he died was the Langzhong family in Sanliu Town. This time, it was a fortune-telling family, and there was nothing in common."
"Yes!" Shangguan Yanran said, "The old man of Yamen is the parent official of the town. Everyone knows him. Langzhong's family must also be known to everyone in the town. This fortune teller is extremely prestigious. If these three families die, it will definitely cause a sensation in Sanliu Town."
"Yes!" The officer and soldier said, "Why didn't I expect that if this white-haired banshee commits another crime, she must go to Liu's house."
"Why?"
"In addition to these three people, Liu is the most prestigious person in the town. He is also a master, and everyone knows him."
"Go!" Han Ruoli said, "Let's go to Liu Yuanwai's house to have a look."
Four officers and soldiers hurriedly ran out of the government office with weapons. At this time, when it was dark, Han Ruoli also followed him and went to Liu's house to find out.
