Chapter 185 Far away, yet so close.
However, before Shan Tianxie could inquire about the woman's background in detail...
Two angry shouts could be heard from afar.
"Please take good care of all the people in the town..."
"Please take good care of my seventh great-uncle..."
As soon as he finished speaking, everyone saw two figures appear from the end of the road.
One was dressed in the uniform of a ninth-rank black-robed constable, while the other wore the brownish-yellow uniform of a regular constable.
Upon hearing this, Shan Tianxie looked up and a smile instantly appeared on his lips.
Because one of them was an acquaintance of his, none other than Constable Xing, whom he had met at Tongfu Inn before!
The flattery that Constable Xing used back then really hit the nail on the head.
However, Officer Xing was followed by a chubby boy, and the two of them were rushing straight towards Shan Tianxie.
He kept shouting slogans to bolster his courage along the way.
As Lao Xing charged forward, he didn't forget to whisper some instructions to his young apprentice, whom he had brought from his hometown.
"Little Six, according to the villagers who reported the crime, the criminal this time is very skilled in martial arts. He smashed the thief's head with just a light touch."
As a ninth-rank official constable of the imperial court, I have a duty to fulfill and I will never back down in the face of battle!
But you're different. You've only been here for a couple of days, and you're still young.
If things get bad, don't worry about whether I live or die, just hurry up and escape!
"Master..."
Upon hearing this, Yan Xiaoliu was deeply moved. He never expected that his master, whom he always thought only knew how to eat and drink, would say such a thing.
"Master, what are you saying? There's no reason in the world for you to go first, Master!"
Although Xiao Liu isn't very bright, he still understands the importance of respecting one's teacher. He'll understand when they encounter that thief later.
"Little Six will go first! Even if it's a mountain of knives or a sea of fire, we'll brave it together today!"
Upon hearing this, Constable Xing looked at Yan Xiaoliu's youthful face, which was full of determination, and couldn't help but sigh.
It wasn't for nothing that I brought him out of the mountains!
A surge of heroic spirit rose within him instantly. He gripped the single-edged sword in his hand and said in a deep voice.
"Very well! Since you have such courage, then today we, master and disciple, shall go through fire and water together!"
In the blink of an eye, while the two were still discussing and talking, they had already rushed to the thief's body.
"hiss!"
"hiss!"
Although the two of them were already mentally prepared,
However, seeing this scene before me, I still couldn't help but gasp.
The crime scene was several times more horrific and brutal than the people who reported it described.
The two of them felt a chill run from their spines to the top of their heads!
These vicious criminals are unlikely to escape a peaceful end today!
They all thought of it at the same time.
We should let Master go first.
Xiao Liu should go first.
........
After making up my mind.
Officer Xing looked up at the man and woman beside the corpse and examined them closely.
However, when his gaze swept over Shan Tianxie's slightly smiling face...
Officer Xing was stunned for a moment, then rubbed his eyes in disbelief.
I thought I was seeing things because I hadn't smelled meat in a long time.
"Officer Xing, how have you been?"
Dan Tian said with a wicked smile.
Upon hearing this, Officer Xing immediately realized that he was not seeing things; it really was someone he knew.
So they greeted each other very warmly.
"Oh, Young Master Shan?! It's been a long time!"
"It's been a long time indeed."
Dan Tian replied with a wicked smile.
He didn't know why, but he couldn't help but smile when he looked at Old Xing in front of him. Maybe the original story had left too deep an impression on him.
Meanwhile, Yan Xiaoliu, seeing that his master had forgotten the important matter and was about to start chatting with someone,
He quickly and discreetly tugged at Constable Xing's sleeve.
Without turning his head, Constable Xing reprimanded in a low voice.
"Little Liu, why are you tearing my clothes? Don't embarrass your master in front of Young Master Shan!"
"Master..."
Yan Xiaoliu sighed and smiled wryly. No, Master and those two are clearly acting strangely.
What kind of good person would stand so calmly next to a corpse?
However, since he was an acquaintance of the master, he couldn't say it directly, but instead subtly reminded him from the side.
"Master, we still have important business to attend to today!"
"Oh, yes, yes, yes." Officer Xing nodded repeatedly upon hearing this, then gave him a look that said, "This child is teachable."
"You remember what I usually teach you well. You must always prioritize important matters. I was just testing you!"
Yan Xiaoliu nodded and didn't argue. Sometimes his master was good in every way, but he just liked to show off in public!
When Constable Xing saw Yan Xiaoliu's appearance, he nodded in satisfaction.
He then turned to look at Shan Tianxie beside him, though his expression remained calm.
However, he had already started making his own plans.
It wasn't anything else, it was just that after seeing Shan Tianxie,
In an instant, I thought of whether I could borrow Shan Tianxie's power to catch the culprit who had his head blown off!
You should know that Young Master Shan had single-handedly challenged Black Wind Stronghold, which amazed him and earned him a great deal of credit!
He later went to Black Wind Village to investigate the scene, which was truly shocking, with corpses lying everywhere and blood staining the ground red.
Hundreds of people died just like that, and the pile of corpses was as big as a small hill.
If the body hadn't been cremated on the spot, it would have taken a whole day to transport it!
Even in places like Black Wind Stronghold, Young Master Shan walked as if on flat ground.
Presumably, even a headshot maniac wouldn't be a match for Young Master Shan!
Thinking of this, Constable Xing smiled slightly, then asked Shan Tianxie.
"By the way, Mr. Shan, do you know where the suspect who just had his head blown off has gone?"
"I do know a little about that."
"Where?!"
Upon hearing this, Constable Xing's eyes lit up instantly. Good heavens, his career was about to take another step forward!
"Far away, yet so close."
"What does this mean?"
Officer Xing asked with a puzzled look, "Is this Young Master Shan also..."
Knowing full well that Lao Xing wasn't very cultured, he still insisted on spouting classical Chinese poetry.
"Forehead......"
Dan Tianxie was speechless for a moment, having forgotten about it, and immediately stopped pretending.
Pointing to himself, he said, "Isn't that me?"
"Young Master Shan, this joke is not funny."
Upon hearing this, Officer Xing's smile vanished instantly, replaced by a very serious expression.
"I'm not joking."
Dan Tian's wicked smile remained unchanged as he pointed to the headless corpse on the ground.
"This thief not only stole things, but also said he wanted to kick my head like a ball, so to be fair, I smashed his head in."
As if remembering something, Shan Tianxie added something else.
"Yes, this young lady can also vouch for me."
"Um?!"
Upon hearing this, Constable Xing frowned and looked at Shan Tianxie, who had a serious expression on his face.
My heart sank immediately; this was terrible news!
