I Honor
Chapter 318
: Encounter
Looking around the casino, the lights are like weaving, the red is shining, every face is reflected greedily, but some are excited, some are excited, some are disappointed, some are in pain, the sound of dice, the sound of Pai Gow, the sound of horse hanging, the sound In the ear, there is no difference from before.
This made Meng Qi feel as if he had a dream. He dreamed of an assassination, but when he woke up, there was no trace.But in a casino.
The ability of an assassin to conceal his aura and conceal his killing intent was something Meng Qi had only seen in his life. When he was out of action, he was indistinguishable from ordinary people. In the true sense, there was no difference.
“I was discovered by Qiu Fei, who deliberately led me to a crowded place like a casino to assassinate me”
“With his half-step location strength, he can take me to a place outside the city where there is no one to do it himself, so he is more confident.”
“Or the person he wants to meet, specially send assassins to find and clear the stalkers”
Thoughts floated in Meng Qi’s mind, and he held the handle of the knife tightly with his right hand, and slowly walked over the crowded crowd to the entrance of the private room.
This place is quite clean, with many courtyards, all integrated into one, convenient for people with status to play. Meng Qi lost track of Qiu Fei, and he couldn’t inquire in every private room. At the entrance of the private room courtyard, waiting for the croupiers and maids to come out, they asked with phantom mixed with a little “changing heaven and earth”.
“Never seen this guy”
“There is no private room in my charge”
“No new guests came in just now”
The answers made Meng Qi puzzled. He clearly watched Qiu Fei walk towards the private room. Where did he go?
After searching for a while, Meng Qi was finally sure that he had lost track. In his heart, he was more inclined that the assassin’s purpose was to hinder or get rid of those who followed Qiu Fei.
“But it’s not possible to use such a strong assassin to do chores.” With such doubts, Meng Qi left Tianzi No. 1 Casino and returned to the rented courtyard.
Because of the incident with the assassin just now, he let go of his spirit and opened the door cautiously to prevent an ambush assassination.
The courtyard door creaked open, but Meng Qi’s pupils contracted violently.
In the center of the courtyard, there is a thing that I didn’t have before I left.
this is a coffin
This is a dark coffin
The dim moonlight poured down and flowed through the black coffin, bringing endless gloom.
When someone brought me a coffin, Meng Qi was shocked and angry. “Heaven’s Injury” came out of its sheath directly. Walking alternately, slowly approaching the coffin.
He suppressed the emotions in his heart and reflected the surrounding scene, there was no life in the coffin. There is no sense of flesh and blood. It’s not like an ambush.
The injury of the sky is picked. The lid of the coffin was tilted to the side, and there was a small wooden sculpture inside which was empty.
It is carved in human form. The size of a palm, his face was full of pain, and a note was stuck to his lower lip, covering his body.
There are four words written on the note:
“Crazy Saber Su Meng.”
What’s the point of pretending to be a ghost? The hero Meng Qi was not frightened, and snorted coldly. Is this a gauntlet for death, or is it a deliberate act to disturb his state of mind?
He believes that if Qingyu does this again, the means will not be so low, because it will only ruin Xuantianzong’s reputation.
So, I was being watched
Who and what force did it
what do you want to achieve
Meng Qi was not a good man who was bullied into his door but made money with kindness. After searching the yard carefully and finding no clues, he put away the wood carvings and paper notes, and knocked on the door of the neighbor next door.
After a while, the neighbor next door came out with his coat on, bleary-eyed, yawning, looking outside through the gap in the door, in case the robbers robbed the door.
“Old man, I have something to ask.” Meng Qi said bluntly. He had already canceled the transformation of Xuan Gong and washed everything on his face.
The old man was startled at first, then opened the door, and asked half curiously and half worriedly: “Young Master Su, you are asking about the coffin in the courtyard?”
“Exactly.” Meng Qi replied with a nod.
The old man pursed his lips a few times: “Young master Su, not long after you left, someone gave you a coffin. Because you were not at home, you asked Lao Ye to open the door and said that you bought it yourself. Lao Ye thought you were going to challenge A certain master first prepared a coffin for himself to cut off the way out, so he opened the door to let them in.”
Lao Ye is the landlord.
“Do you know who sent it?” Meng Qi asked with a frown.
The neighbor shook his head: “They are two strangers. They look like coffin shop guys, but they are definitely not nearby.”
The coffin shop should be entrusted by someone, right? Meng Qi is very confident in his mental skills. As long as he finds that coffin shop, he can ask the coffin shopkeeper about the appearance of the person who bought the coffin.
“What’s so special about their appearance?” Meng Qi asked.
The neighbor thought about it carefully, and suddenly said “ah”: “One of the guys has a black mole on the corner of his mouth, which is very conspicuous.”
After asking a few more words, Meng Qi sincerely thanked him, turned and left the door, thinking about countermeasures in his heart.
“Carrying coffins across the market in the middle of the night, Maoling is not a place for curfew, many drunkards and gamblers return home at night, plus watchmen, there should be many people who saw it.” It was not too late, Meng Qi decided to investigate immediately.
After calculating the time, Meng Qi decided to find the group of watchmen who were nearby at that time.
Without much trouble, he found the target by asking other watchmen.
“I remember that coffin very clearly. Who wouldn’t be afraid to see the coffin in the middle of the night?” Thinking back, the old watchman still trembled a little. Even though it was far away, he was still deeply impressed, thinking that there was a dead body.
Meng Qi was overjoyed, there was a clue”Old man, can you tell which coffin shop they are from when you see which street they come from?” He suppressed his joy.
The other watchman said in an uncertain tone while thinking about the memories: “The one coming from Beijie Street, there seems to be only one coffin shop nearby.”
Meng Qi regained his spirits, asked the exact location of the coffin shop, and rushed there at night.
There are few pedestrians, the night is thick, the door of the coffin shop has been closed, and it is hidden in the darkness.
Meng Qi climbed over the wall without delay. Falling into the courtyard, intending to “inquire” one by one.
Suddenly, he smelled a bloody smell at the end of his nose, his heart tightened, and he walked towards the back door of the shop following the smell.
The door was not closed, it was half covered, Meng Qi pushed it lightly, and it fell towards the wall.
Stepping in carefully, the first thing you see is a black coffin. They are neatly arranged there. Weird and eerie.
Taking a deep breath, the nostrils filter the smell, distinguishing the source of the bloody smell.
Meng Qi walked up to a coffin step by step, “Heavenly Wound” gaining momentum. “Meridian” sticks out. Lift the lid of the coffin.
The cover slipped off. Reveal the condition inside the coffin.
Inside lay a man with wide eyes, a dead man with a frightened face.
He has a prominent mole on the corner of his mouth
Cause of death: Sword in the eyebrow.
“It was silenced.” Meng Qi frowned slightly, feeling more and more confusing about the matter.
According to the source of the bloody smell. Meng Qi picked up two more coffins, and there were also two dead people lying in them, one dressed as a clerk, the other dressed better as a shopkeeper, both of them were stricken with eyebrows.
“The sword was sharp and the wound was deep and narrow. He must be a good swordsman.” Meng Qi judged the murderer’s martial arts characteristics from the wound, but apart from the wound between the eyebrows, there was no other trace.
He turned around and searched the counter, only to find that the account books had been burned to ashes, leaving no purchase records.
“The clue is broken.” Meng Qi gritted his teeth, squatted down to check the corpse again, and made a last effort.
Huh, Meng Qi suddenly noticed something was wrong, both of the two waiters had their mouths half-opened, and their faces were full of horror, only the shopkeeper, his face was full of horror, but his lips were tightly shut.
Using light force, Meng Qi opened the shopkeeper’s mouth and found that he had a paper ball in his mouth.
The surface of the paper was soaked with saliva. Meng Qi spent a lot of effort to unfold it. He found that it was part of the account book. It seemed that when he was doing the account book for the first time, he misremembered the amount of silver taels and was too lazy to modify it. The ball was thrown away, and then I picked it up again somehow and stuffed it into my mouth.
Meng Qi seemed to be able to imagine the scene at that time in his mind, one guy was killed, and the remaining guy tried to escape and call for help, but the shopkeeper saw that the guy was so strong that he couldn’t escape at all, so he was so frightened that he collapsed on the ground and fell beside the dustpan. Seeing the ball of paper, he held the heart of dying together, quietly stuffed the ball of paper into his mouth, and closed it tightly.
The records on the ball of paper are already blurred, and Meng Qi can barely make out part of the content:
“Jiang Tabo of Guanjinyuan sent the nanmu coffin in one bite”
Guanjinyuan Jiang Tabo Mengqi repeated, took back the paper ball, erased his traces, left the shop, and went straight to Guanjinyuan, which is a relatively famous inn in Maoling.
Not long after, Meng Qi sneaked into Guanjin Garden, and through “asking” the staff, he learned that Jiang Tabo lived in Hefeng Xiaozhu. He came here alone a few days ago, but he was often visited by martial arts people.
Meng Qiyi was a bold man, covered in spirit, turned into a phantom, and directly jumped into Hefeng Xiaozhu.
In his induction, there was no breath in the wing room.
Did Jiang Tapo escape?
Carefully opening the window, Meng Qi jumped in. Before he landed, he had a clear view of the scene in the room.
A young man half-sat on the ground with his back leaning against the bed, his eyes wide open, with a frozen expression of horror, and there were long knife marks between his chest and abdomen
He has the iconic slanted eyes and broom eyebrows, which completely fits the image of Jiang Tabo that the buddy said
“He was also killed.” Meng Qi suddenly noticed the abnormality.
The knife marks were charred black, as if struck by lightning, which wiped away the blood, so Meng Qi didn’t smell the smell outside.
“This, if you take a rough look at this, it looks like I did it with my own hands.”
Meng Qi’s heart moved, he turned his head and jumped out of the window, intending to leave this place first.
At this moment, there was a crisp bang, and a stone flew from outside the courtyard and hit the steps. The sound was not loud, but it swayed far in the quiet night.
Meng Qi’s energy and spirit climbed to the peak in an instant, and he tried to swing his knife towards the place where the stone came from.
A figure rushed to him from outside, and upon seeing the stranger, he immediately blocked Meng Qi’s way.
He is young, with dark skin, thick eyebrows, and ordinary clothes, like a farmer, and his gestures and gestures complement the surrounding environment.
The young man’s eyesight was extremely strong, and when he saw the corpse beside the bed through the open window, his expression suddenly became gloomy, filled with uncontrollable anger and hatred.
