Chapter 38: Daughter's Birth

Back then, Master, it was the shield and the knife working together..." 。One-handed shield defense can delay time, and one-handed knife also gives up attacking the tiger king's vital point, but instea...Shen Gongfu and the bodies of his guards were not discovered until half an hour later by a patrolman on night watch. The patrolman calmly reported it to the Xueyu Guards immediately. 。For the night watchmen... they'd seen too many corpses at night, too many big scenes. 。"It is Shen Gongfu" 。"The disciples of Shen Gong were actually killed." 。I don't know, maybe Shen Gongfu has offended someone powerful. 。The Blood Rain Guards will secure the scene, and soon masters from the Department of Punishment at the Southern Mansion headquarters will arrive. 。Crime scene investigators carefully examined the scene. 。"Song Baihu, how did the investigation go" The magistrate Niu, roused from his sleep in the middle of the night, arrived yawning and asked. 。After all, he had a title. Even the magistrate of capital punishment was present for it. 。The Minister of Punishment, who oversees the Ministry of Punishment in the Southern Capital, holds a rank equivalent to that of a Thousand Households Commander in the Blood Rain Guard. 。

"Mr. Niu" 。"

Song Baihu pointed to the scene, “The murderer was only one person, skilled in hidden weapons” 。Although there were only Shen Gongfu and four guards' bodies at the scene, based on the bloodstains, Shen Gongfu should have had two more powerful guards!

Niu Ti Xing nodded, he trusted his men's judgment. 。After carefully examining numerous clues, I can confirm that... 。"Song Baihu pointed to a corner of the room. 'The murderer first rushed out from the dark, getting close instantly and firing several throwing knives, killing four guards.'" 。Two more guards, stronger than the others, engaged in combat with the killer. But now, not even their bodies can be found. 。Shen Gongfu must have heard the sound of fighting and came out of the carriage, only to be killed by a flying knife! His belongings were also stolen. 。"Do you have any suspects" Niu TiXing asked. 。“If it were just for robbery, the culprit wouldn't have targeted Shen Gongfu.” 。A little investigation will reveal that Shen Gongfu was ostracized in the Shen family and had little wealth. 。“There are many richer people in the imperial capital than him,” said Song Baihu. “For mere money, it’s better to plunder some wealthy merchants.” 。"So...it's more like a premeditated assassination!"

"We can check who Shen Gongfu offended, especially recently!" Song Baihu said, "I think it's most likely that he offended someone and provoked disaster." 。The key to this case is the two missing guards. If we can find them, dead or alive, it could reveal more clues. 。"Well" 。“

Niu, the imperial censor, yawned and said, “Write up a case file as quickly as possible. I need to inform Shen Gong about this. It’s already late at night, and I can't sleep now. Besides, I have to report to Wang-da Ren and the Emperor!”

After all, an honorable official had died; it was definitely necessary to inform the Emperor.”

"Yes" 。Song Baihu should say 。Early morning 。

"Bang bang bang" 。Xu Jingming's residence, the front door was knocked. 。Xu Jingming simply put on his clothes and walked out of the house, at which moment, his consciousness officially came online! When he had free time, he often practiced in his personal space >>> 。With a creak—

Pulling open the door latch, Xu Jingming opened the door and looked at Zhang Ke outside. 。

"Captain, something big happened last night" 。"Zhang Ke exclaimed excitedly, 'Do you remember Shen Gongfu He was the arrogant Shen Gongfu from Jiuyi Tower last night! He was killed last night! A flying knife was plunged into his brow!' " Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!。"Who is the murderer" Xu Jingming also looked excited, schadenfreude was the normal reaction. 。"Who knows!" Zhang Ke laughed, "Only that the murderer is skilled with throwing knives, nothing else! I heard the Shen family has gone mad, searching everywhere!" 。The capital city is teeming with masters, hidden dragons and crouching tigers. With Shen Gongfu's temper, who knows how many people he has offended He might have been eliminated by some ruthless character. 。The ruthless people of the imperial capital, are many 。Xu Jingming nodded in agreement. 。。>> 。The most ruthless in the capital are the 'flying thieves'. These flying thieves dare to go anywhere! The Prince's Mansion Shen Gong's family Xia Hou's family The Imperial PalaceThese imperial thieves are simply unbelievably powerful, there is no place they dare not go! To steal treasures, they would risk their lives. 。

There are also cases of assassination, some highly difficult 'assassination missions', and there are ruthless people who dare to take them on. 。"These ruthless people in the Imperial Capital, many reckless flying thieves, even dare to go to the palace... I estimate that most of them are players from the Universal Citizen." 。Xu Jingming secretly thought, "The Universe Citizen players came in to grab the gold and silver." 。So, assassins, thieves... these are the most common things players do. 。

There are benefits, even if it's risky, I'd still do it. 。A single life is only worth 100,000 cosmic coins!

Of course, someone like Xu Jingming who holds an important identity would value their life more. 。So, you know, it's best to keep a low profile in the capital. 。"Zhang Ke shook her head and sighed, 'No matter if you're a member of a prominent family or related to the imperial court, being too arrogant and making too many enemies will ultimately lead to your demise at the hands of some ruthless individual.'" 。The capital city has too many powerful factions and masters. It's best to keep a low profile. 。Xu Jingming also said, "By the way, Lao Zhang, for the next three days, if there's nothing particularly important, don't come to me. If you can handle it, just help me handle it." 。"

" line 。"Zhang Ke nodded, "I can't take it anymore, I'll report to the captain." 。 Xu Jingming nodded. 。He has an important matter, his wife Li Miaomiao, is about to give birth. 。Li Miaomiao moved into the hospital in advance. In fact, since humans had undergone full evolution, childbirth became much simpler. After all, every evolutionary being's physical fitness was far superior to that of the past. There were even many women online who didn't go to the hospital and gave birth at home. 。But obviously, the parents and elders of both the Xu family and the Li family were very careful. They had already moved to Binhai City and were carefully taking care of Li Miaomiao. 。"Now, vaginal deliveries are very quick." 。After human evolution, childbirth became much easier, it only takes a short while. 。In the hallway outside the delivery room, Li's mother and Xu's mother spoke to each other, comforting one another, but their brows were still etched with anxiety. 。Xu Jingming sat on a chair in the corridor, silently waiting. 。His heart was filled with a myriad of emotions at this moment. 。His rational mind told him that with current technology and human physiology, childbirth is very safe. 。I'm going to be a dad. 。"Xu Jingming was thinking, 'Miaomiao should be fine, the doctor said so.'" 。Suddenly—

The delivery room door opened.

Li Miaomiao was pushed out. She lay on the transfer bed, beside her was a little one wrapped in something. 。"Family, come here and have a look at the little one, she weighs 3050 grams, is 52.5 centimeters long, and it's a little girl!" 。“The nurse pushed the cart and said, Xu Jingming, Xu Hong’s couple, Li Chen'an’s couple, Old Master Xu and a group of people immediately surrounded her, one by one looking at " 。Li Miaomiao was also holding the baby in one hand at this moment, her eyes filled with the love of a mother. 。"Wow, so cute" 。"And Jingming when he was a child, seemed like... wrinkled. " 。"

What does it mean to be wrinkled In a month, it will grow up." 。While the elders around were talking, Xu Jingming was carefully looking at the little fellow in front of him. 。The little one had opened its eyes, looking around with a dazed expression. Then it yawned and closed its eyes again, too tired to even glance at the people around it. 。 the protection period for the newly emerged civilizations is over, can we even guarantee absolute safety on Blue Star" Xu Jingming questioned. 。"Oh..." 。"Once the protection period is over, there's n...
