People in Zong Tomb, Jieling Pirates

Chapter 275 Fog

This sudden attack was beyond everyone's expectations. Except for Chen Ziyan, the fastest people to respond were the two puppets standing behind him.

The puppet armor is further away from Chen Yulou, so it is still a little slower than Chen Ziyan when it moves.

But even Chen Ziyan, who was the first to react, had no time to stop him. He had already estimated the moment he ran out that it would be difficult for him to intercept the opponent's attack.

So when he was in the air, a short arrow was thrown out at this moment, pointing directly at the head of the man named Miao.

However, although the short arrow is fast, it still takes time. At this time, the dagger with a cold light was about to land on Chen Yulou's neck.

From other people's perspective, the dagger was already firmly attached to the skin, and it was about to get what they wanted.

But just a second before the dust settled, a skinny palm stretched out just right, like an iron clamp, tightly trapping the hand holding the dagger, preventing it from moving forward even half an inch.

This scene shocked everyone else in the room.

You must know that in order to succeed, the man surnamed Miao raised his whole body off the ground and rushed over. Therefore, from the perspective of others, Chen Yulou seemed to have restrained the other person in mid-air with one hand.

At this time, Chen Ziyan's short arrow had also arrived. The man surnamed Miao, who was stopped by Chen Yulou in mid-air, had no time to react before he was severely pierced into the temple by the sharp arrow.

Then the short arrow didn't stop at all, and shot straight out from the other side of the head with blood and turbid brain tissue, and pierced the wooden furniture not far away.

Because he was shot out of anger, almost all of Chen Ziyan's strength was poured into the short arrow, so it didn't stop until most of the arrow's body was buried in the furniture.

The part of the short arrow left outside was still shaking tremblingly, and Chen Ziyan and others had already rushed to Chen Yulou.

In fact, the collision is a bit inaccurate. After all, the distance between them is not far, otherwise the man named Miao would not be able to find a chance to make a move.

Chen Ziyan was the first to arrive. When he saw the fallen body, he kicked it aside without any hesitation.

Wang Kaixuan, who followed closely behind, also followed suit. While kicking, he did not forget to spit: "You son of a bitch!"

Although the others did not do this, their glances that glanced over unintentionally were also full of chills.

After Chen Ziyan kicked the obstructing corpse away, he looked at Chen Yulou and asked with concern: "Uncle, are you okay?"

Chen Yulou acted as if nothing had happened, and said lightly: "It doesn't matter, I haven't fallen to the point where I can be hurt by such a young man."

Then he put the intercepted dagger on the table and said: "This thing may be poisoned. Be careful when handling it. Don't crowd around me. Take the time to dispose of the body to avoid future troubles."

Although he could not see anything, with his extraordinary hearing, Chen Yulou actually knew what the man named Miao wanted to do when he showed signs of taking action.

At first, he planned to give a warning, but considering that the other party might have quenched poison on the murder weapon, he chose this method of handling it.

After all, if the other party sees that something is wrong and attacks the people next to them randomly, a few people may be injured.

When Chen Ziyan heard this, he immediately glanced at the dagger with a cold look, but he also knew the priorities. After giving Hu Bayi a look, he nodded and said, "Okay, I'll take care of it right away."

."

Without asking anyone else to help, Chen Ziyan asked Wushuang Ghost to take the body, then left the room and headed for the yard behind.

At this time, Da Jinya also recovered from the shock. After looking around, he apologized to Chen Yulou and quickly followed Chen Ziyan.

"Master Chen..."

"Lao Jin, there's no need to talk about the yes or no. I know you can't be blamed for this." Chen Ziyan knew what he wanted to say, so he blocked the rest of his words directly.

This person had obviously been targeting Chen Yulou from the beginning, and he would still carry out the assassination even if he didn't have the connection with Da Jinya, so he really had no intention of blaming Da Jinya.

When Da Jinya heard this, he glanced at Chen Ziyan gratefully. He knew better than anyone else that this was indeed the case, but sometimes the truth was not so reasonable.

Keeping the emotion in his heart silently, Da Jinya thought of the thought that suddenly came to him and said, "Master Chen, there is one more thing I want to say."

Chen Ziyan looked at him in confusion and asked, "What's going on?"

His current thoughts are on how to deal with the corpse, which really doesn't match up with Da Jinya's brain circuit.

Da Jinya first looked around, then leaned over and lowered his voice and said, "Mr. Chen, don't you think these recent events are too coincidental?"

"I didn't think it before, but now that I think about it, it seems like it was designed by someone."

"This..." After hearing Da Jinya's words, many things suddenly appeared in Chen Ziyan's mind.

He knows more things than the Big Gold Tooth. For example, the snake vine needs to be replaced with the Tianxin Stone. The reason is that the Crescent Hotel needs the Tianxin Stone, and the reason for needing it is Zhang Dafoye's plan, so if he wants to get the snake vine to cure the Big Gold Tooth

, their fastest and most reliable way is to go to Qixinglu Palace.

Chen Ziyan even felt that even if he didn't know this place, someone would soon give him a 'hint'.

And if this conjecture is correct, then it is an inevitable result that they go to Qixing Lu Palace.

What does it mean to think too carefully?

Apparently this is it!

In fact, Chen Ziyan had vaguely noticed some clues recently, but he didn't connect them together. But Da Jinya's words completely awakened him, allowing him to connect all the doubts together in a sudden way.

All of this seems to have no direct connection, but if you look back and examine it carefully now, you will find that there seems to be an invisible line hidden in it.

Thinking of this, Chen Ziyan asked: "Lao Jin, do you have any targets of suspicion?"

Although there is no evidence, Chen Ziyan feels that the truth should be what he thinks.

In fact, Chen Ziyan's first suspicion was the Wang family, but he was afraid that looking at the problem with his own stereotypes would lead to undue deviations in his thinking, so he asked Da Jinya for his opinion.

Now, in their small team, there are many people who can think independently and give reasonable explanations, and it can even be said that there is one person per capita, but the only person who is really suitable to ponder this kind of conspiracy is Da Jinya.

how to say……

Probably only those who have truly seen the dark side of society can view problems from the darkest perspective.

In fact, Chen Ziyan also had this perspective, but he just didn't want to admit it, so Da Jinya was honored to become the only seedling.

Among the remaining people, Wang Kaixuan may be the only one who has some experience in this field, but what this guy has experienced before is still somewhat meaningless.

Da Jinya didn't think much about it. He thought for a while and then said: "We can exclude the Crescent Hotel first."

"What's the reason?" Chen Ziyan asked.

"The strength of the Crescent Hotel is there, so if they really want to do something, there is no need to go to such trouble." Da Jinya gave a somewhat contradictory but reasonable reason.

Yes, the strength and power of the Crescent Hotel is there, so there is no need to be secretive about things.

Whether it's profit or something else, they have better ways to achieve their goals, and there is no need to use such despicable means.

To put it another way, the forces behind the assassination of Chen Yulou had already become Chen Ziyan's life-and-death enemy from the moment they took action, and they were still the kind who had no room for relaxation.

There is no reason for Crescent Hotel to do this, so Golden Tooth will exclude it as the first one.

"What about the other forces around the capital?" Chen Ziyan continued to ask.

Da Jinya shook his head without thinking: "It can't be them. If these people do something, they will never target the old man. They will only go after Mr. Chen."

"And to be blunt, they really don't have the guts to do this now. The wind that Fatty set off a while ago has not yet been wiped out."

Although Da Jinya had never had contact with these people before, he knew what their character was like. If they encountered someone who was weak and could be bullied, they would do even more extreme things, let alone assassinate an old man.

But if someone like Chen Ziyan dares to destroy his family, if he is not absolutely sure that he will be killed by a hammer, then even if he borrows a few courage from this group of people, he will not dare to do such a thing.

"Then do you think the mysterious force we talked about last time is possible?" Chen Ziyan was silent for a moment after hearing this, and then pointed the finger directly at the Wang family.

After Da Jinya's analysis, the Wang family is now even more suspicious.

But to his expectation, Da Jinya still shook his head: "No, there may be some influence from them in these things, but this matter is a bit inconsistent with their style of doing things."

Chen Ziyan thought about it seriously and felt that this made sense.

If the Wang family was so rough in doing things, how could they have been hiding in the dark for hundreds of years, and now they are constantly making waves.

Just when Chen Ziyan was thinking hard, he heard Da Jinya suddenly say: "Mr. Chen, do you think it is possible that he is a foreigner?"

"Foreigner?" Chen Ziyan was suddenly startled: "What kind of Scientology are you talking about?"

If Big Gold Tooth hadn't mentioned it now, he would have almost forgotten about this organization, mainly because Scientology has never really appeared in his field of vision from the beginning to the end.

"Yeah." Da Jinya nodded and expressed his thoughts: "I'm thinking that this matter was probably done by an outsider, but the scope is too large. The most likely person is this organization."

The implication is also very clear, that is, everyone is somewhat hostile, and it is not too out of the ordinary.

"It's possible." Chen Ziyan nodded thoughtfully, and then suddenly said: "Let's leave it like this for now, and we'll talk about it later when we have the chance."

Chen Ziyan planned to shelve this topic for the time being. There were too few clues in his hands now. Even if he continued to pursue it persistently, he would probably not gain anything.

Since you know this is the result, why waste energy on it?

It is better to keep the same in response to all changes. Anyway, the mastermind behind the scenes will never stop here. The more you do, the more flaws you will find. When the time comes, it will be more appropriate to follow the plan.

Speaking of which, Chen Ziyan was already prepared for this kind of thing. After all, conspiracy, conspiracy, and infighting are major features of the pen-stealing world. He would not be spared just because this is a mixed world.

Moreover, Chen Ziyan was very confident that if something unexpected did not happen, this matter was probably the work of some force in the world of pen theft.

"Huh?" Da Jinya looked at the environment in front of him and asked curiously: "Master Chen, why are we here? Aren't we going to dispose of the corpse?"

Because his attention was focused on chatting, Da Jinya didn't pay attention to the surrounding situation, so he reacted like this now.

In his impression, the method of disposing of corpses did not involve taking them to one's own backyard. Generally speaking, shouldn't the nearest disposal method be in the garden?

"It can be taken care of here." Chen Ziyan replied casually, then opened the door in front of him and let Wushuang Ghost walk in with the body.

The entire backyard is actually Chen Ziyan's studio, and the room in front of him is his waste material processing room.

Take the production of puppet armor as an example. There are a lot of waste materials that are not suitable for discarding, so he specially built a 'trash can'. Although the principle of his processing room is simple, the effect is very impressive. The main materials are from his inheritance.

The special dissolving liquid that comes out of the inside can dissolve even the body parts of red fox and blue-eyed fox corpses, let alone an ordinary corpse.

In fact, Chen Ziyan's first thought was to find a place to throw the body out, so as to give a warning to the people behind the scenes, but after thinking about it, he gave up this idea and decided to destroy the body quietly and eliminate traces.

"Master Chen, aren't we going in?" Seeing Chen Ziyan closing the door after Wushuang Gui entered, Da Jinya asked curiously.

He also wanted to see what method Chen Ziyan would use to dispose of the body.

"Wushuang can solve it by himself." Chen Ziyan shook his head without hesitation: "Let's go back first."

He didn't want to watch the process, the scene wasn't pretty at all.

"Ah...ok!" Although Da Jinya was full of doubts, he also understood the importance and hurriedly followed behind Chen Ziyan.

The two of them did not continue talking on the way back, they were both secretly thinking about today's events.

Although I decided not to think about these things for the time being, I can't control this kind of thing on my own, so now that I have some free time, my thoughts have subconsciously drifted away.

When they returned to the room, they found that the atmosphere was no longer as solemn as before.

Hu Bayi and the others have started chatting again, but now their positions are vaguely intended to protect Chen Yulou in the middle.

Obviously, what just happened is not without effect.

After Chen Ziyan and Da Jinya sat down, Wang Kaixuan hesitated for a moment, and couldn't help but ask: "Um... Master Jin, let me ask you something. I have no other meaning. Don't think blindly."

Da Jinya understood what Wang Kaixuan meant and said with a smile: "Fat Master, I'm just being polite now. If you have any questions, just ask."

After carefully observing Big Jinya and confirming that he was not forcing a smile, Wang Kaixuan asked his own question: "That's right, I want to ask, where is that friend of yours, Mr. Jin?"

?”

In Fatty Wang's simple and unpretentious thinking mode, he felt that he could get to the bottom of this matter, because he thought that he should be able to get some clues.
