Treasure identifying Golden Finger

2It wasn't that the captain didn't dare try to save her from the madman, it was just that such a thing could have been avoided. Now that some civilians had been captured, the patrol team had to go save them. However, the lives of those civilians were lives. Wasn't the lives of his men lives too? It was those civilians who didn't listen to his advice that caused this, yet now he had to let the patrol team take the blame.    

    

"Sigh..."    

    

The captain made a long sigh with frustration, but he still looked at his men.    

    

"Xiaoliu, you stay!" Just in case we need to report something, the rest of you... follow me to save them. Remember, listen to my order when you go in. Protect the lives of the people and yourself as your top priority. Do you understand?"    

    

The captain solemnly shouted.    

    

"Yes!"    

    

The squad members were not afraid at all. They replied passionately.    

    

"Okay, let's go in."    

    

Seeing that everyone was very confident, the team leader felt a little better and led them into the courtyard that was like a battlefield.    

    

It was already dawn when Faang Cheng finished flipping through the last page of the book in his hand. Only then did he change his posture and stretch his body slightly. After that, he turned around and kissed Yuan Yue, who was still sleeping soundly, on the forehead. Then, he lay down beside her and wrapped his arm around her slender waist, planning to sleep for a while.    

    

In fact, Faang Cheng's body allowed him to stay awake for a long time, and sleep was just a way for him to get bored.    

    

However, just as Faang Cheng lay down and closed his eyes, his sharp ears heard a loud and impatient knock on the gate of the City Lord's Palace. He could not help but feel shocked. His eyes, which had just closed, opened again. Then... he immediately got up and sat on the bed, listening carefully to the sound at the gate of the courtyard.    

    

"City Lord, I want to see the City Lord. We found that crazy man!"    

    

The door was opened, and someone shouted at the person who opened the door.    

    

Faang Cheng's eyes widened in shock as he immediately stood up and put on his clothes, preparing to go out and see what was going on. However, Yuan Yue, who was beside him, suddenly opened her eyes. She must have been woken up by the sound of him getting off the bed.    

    

"Where are you going?"    

    

Yuan Yue's voice carried a hint of laziness and doubt as she looked at Faang Cheng, who was putting on his coat.    

    

"I woke you up!"    

    

Faang Cheng looked at Yuan Yue apologetically, but his hands did not stop dressing.    

    

"I think I found a crazy person. I'll go take a look."    

    

Faang Cheng explained to Yuan Yue.    

    

"What? Then I'll go too!"    

    

Hearing that, Yuan Yue immediately stood up and followed Faang Cheng to put on her outer clothes.    

    

"Don't go. It's still early. You should sleep a little longer. I'll go and bring that person back. Then, you and Senior Gu King can go and take a look."    

    

Faang Cheng wanted Yuan Yue to sleep a little longer. She slept more than most girls, and it was said that she slept in a beauty bed, so that she would be younger and more beautiful, even if he was already very young and beautiful, and would always be young and beautiful.    

    

"I'll go with you. In any case, I won't be able to sleep even if you leave me here."    

    

Yuan Yue quickly put on her outer clothes and then immediately got down to put on her shoes.    

    

"All right then, come with me!"    

    

Seeing this, Faang Cheng could only nod his head. Thus, he held Yuan Yue's hand and walked towards the main hall of the City Lord's Mansion.    

    

As soon as Faang Cheng and Yuan Yue entered the main hall, they saw Lu Yanlin walking in from the door. At this moment, a young team member wearing the uniform of the City Patrol appeared in the main hall and looked at City Lord Lu Yanlin anxiously.    

    

"What's going on?"    

    

Lu Yanlin asked directly.    

    

"There was a yard in Dodge Lane south of the city. There was a mad man in the yard. He looked very much like the man described in the City Lord's orders, and... he's killed several people and he's still mad. When I came, he was still shouting in the courtyard by himself, without any intention of harming anyone. The captain asked me to report to you that he is guarding the gate with his other brothers! "    

    

Although the patrol team members were nervous, they clearly described the situation.    

    

"Alright, got it!"    

    

Lu Yanlin raised his head and looked at Faang Cheng, who nodded back at him. Lu Yanlin immediately understood Faang Cheng's meaning and turned to look at the patrolman.    

    

"Alright, lead the way. We'll take a look at the scene."    

    

Lu Yanlin ordered.    

    

"Okay!"    

    

The patrolman didn't say anything more. He just turned around and walked toward the gate of the City Lord's Palace. He was walking very fast, and it seemed that... he was worried that the crazy man would hurt more people, and even hurt his brothers.    

    

As they got closer and closer to the mouth of the alley, Faang Cheng could already smell the faint scent of blood. Frowning, he felt that something was not right.    

    

"What's wrong?"    

    

Yuan Yue knew Faang Cheng very well. When she saw his sudden frown, she knew that he must have sensed something that they couldn't. And this expression... It meant that what he sensed wasn't something good.    

    

"There's the smell of blood."    

    

Faang Cheng told the truth and couldn't help but speed up his pace. He even overtook the patrol who was leading the way, because he could already follow the smell of blood to the scene of the incident. As the sounds of fighting, wailing, and crying gradually filled the air, Faang Cheng's speed gradually increased. Even Yuan Yue could not keep up with his pace, let alone Lu Yanlin and the other guards.    

    

Very quickly, Faang Cheng caught sight of the courtyard with its doors wide open at the deepest part of the alley. All the sounds, including the increasingly dense stench of blood, came from there! Faang Cheng flew straight into the courtyard and saw the tragic scene within. There were more than a dozen people lying on the ground. There were patrolmen in patrol uniforms, civilians in civilian clothes, and servants in servant uniforms. All of them had died a bloody death.    

    

At this very moment, the murderer, fierce and insane, was holding a young man in a patroller's uniform by the scruff of the neck, so that the young patroller could not breathe, and his face was red and his eyes rolled back, and he looked as if he were going to die.    

    

"Let go of me!"    

    

Faang Cheng did not have time to hesitate as he shouted and rushed forward. First, he used his Spirit Power to knock away the madman's hand that was grabbing the neck of the patrol team member. Then, he kicked the madman in the chest.
