Iron Snow Clouds

Chapter 729 Gray

Tan Sizhi said to Quan Liu, "What were you doing before you saw Lan Haoxuan being killed? It would be better to tell me in detail."

"The day before yesterday, Lan Haoxuan, Ji Dongzi, Fan Qinchang and I agreed to meet at a pub. The pub was located in a very remote location and there were not many people there at the time. I was the first one to arrive among the four of us, much earlier than the time we agreed on. The pub is divided into two floors, upstairs and downstairs. When I went in, I saw the murderer sitting downstairs, reeking of alcohol. He smashed a jar of wine and said, 'I have plenty of silver, I can afford to pay', and then threw the silver at the counter. I saw that man was fierce, so I went upstairs to wait for them. I knew I came too early, but when I made an appointment with them before, they also arrived very early, so I looked downstairs every once in a while, intending to greet them upstairs when I saw them arrive. I looked several times but didn't see them, I was a little sleepy, so I lay on the table to rest. This was what happened before I saw Lan Haoxuan being killed." Quan Liu answered.

Tan Sizhi said: "Then what? Tell me what happened when you saw Lan Haoxuan being killed."

"I was lying on the table to rest. I don't know how long it was before I was awakened by the noise downstairs. Looking downstairs, I actually saw the murderer stabbing Lan Haoxuan's body with a big sharp knife! I hurried downstairs, and when I reached Lan Haoxuan, she was unconscious, but she was still breathing. Of course I had to save her first. As I said just now, I saw the murderer's back with the sheathed knife on his back, and I knew which way he left. I shouted, hoping someone would stop the murderer, but no one stopped him. Although the murderer took the knife away, I saw other weapons on the ground." Quan Liu said.

"What weapon?" Tan Si asked.

Quan Liu said to Fan Qinchang, "I don't know what it's called either. Take that out."

Fan Qinchang took out a special box wrapped in many layers of cloth from a bag. He used the cloth to pad his fingers and carefully opened the special box. He said, "The stuff solidified on this ball is likely to have come out of the ball. It looks poisonous. We used tools and were very careful when collecting it."

Tie Hongyan took a look and found that it was a pursuit dart. He said, "It's highly poisonous. You really need to be careful. The stuff on it has dried up. It's extremely dangerous when it's wet."

At this moment, she suddenly felt something was wrong and asked Quan Liu: "When you saw this on the ground, was the stuff on the ball wet or dry?"

Quan Liu recalled for a moment and replied, "It was wet, but it seemed to dry quickly."

Tie Hongyan asked: "What color was the wet thing when you saw it?" Quan Liu said: "It was gray at the time, similar to the color now, but the color was darker when it was wet."

Tie Hongyan asked Ji Dongzi and Fan Qinchang: "You two had already done it when you saw it, right?"

"Yes."

"Yes."

"What color was the thing on the ball when you saw it?" Tie Hongyan asked.

"It's just gray." Ji Dongzi replied.

"Gray." Fan Qinchang said.

Tie Hongyan thought: Under normal circumstances, the venom coming out of the pursuit gun should be green.

She continued to ask Quan Liu: "Where do you think the ball hit before it fell to the ground?"
