Chapter 222 Killing Two Birds with One Stone



Wang Erma, who was sleeping soundly in the room, was completely unaware of the danger. His thunderous snoring might not wake him up even if there was thunder outside.

The black shadow approached Wang Erma step by step like a ghost, and the dagger pulled out from the sleeve flashed with a sharp silver edge under the moonlight.

"Drink, keep drinking." The man lying on the bed suddenly muttered something. The people in the room stopped and stared at him vigilantly.

After he turned over and no one else responded, the person in the dark continued to move forward, approaching the bed step by step.

The sharp dagger pierced his heart and lungs accurately.

The drunk man felt the pain, opened his eyes with difficulty, and opened his mouth to call for help, but when he saw the person in front of him, his pupils suddenly dilated and he looked at the person in disbelief.

"Why, why?" Wang Erma asked this question tremblingly, with despair and confusion in his voice.

The moonlight fell on that stern face, with cold eyes. She did not answer him, but the dagger in her hand slowly stirred in his chest. He opened his mouth to call for help, but someone covered his mouth tightly.

Time passed bit by bit, and the person on the bed gradually stopped breathing and was completely unable to move. Only then did Su Xiaozhong let go of his hand.

He did not pull out the dagger, leaving it stuck in his heart.

Su Xiaozhong took out an inconspicuous object from his arms and threw it casually beside the bed.

After finishing the work, leave calmly and close the door considerately.

There were constant sounds of drinking and playing finger-guessing games in the front yard, while the backyard was still deserted, dividing the two places into two distinct worlds.

The next day, a pair of hurried footsteps came hurriedly, walked to the door, and knocked on the door anxiously.

Su Xiaozhong opened his eyes immediately, sat up and lifted the bed curtain.

Daya, who lived in the outer room, was also awakened by the hurried knocking on the door. She hurriedly put on her clothes, walked towards the door, and responded to the people outside.

"Here it comes. Here it comes."

After tying the last tie, Daya opened the door and looked at the visitor with sleepy eyes.

The person who came was Su Xiaozhong’s second right-hand man, named Li Er.

Li Er was extremely anxious. He looked into the room and asked anxiously, "Xiao Xiangqin, has the second shopkeeper woken up?"

"Wake up, please wait a moment."

"Okay." Li Er suppressed his anxious mood and stood quietly aside waiting.

Daya wanted to ask what happened, but thinking of Uncle Su’s previous instructions, she didn’t say anything and just cleaned up the house.

In the inner room, Su Xiaozhong was already dressed, but he was in no hurry to go out. He slowly fixed his hair and only walked out when the time was almost up.

When Li Er saw the second shopkeeper coming out, he bowed respectfully and said, "Good morning, second shopkeeper."

"Why are you looking for me so eagerly so early in the morning? Is there something wrong?" Su Xiaozhong asked in a deep voice.

Li Er's face showed a look of grief at the right time, and his voice was filled with grief and anger, "Second Shopkeeper, Wang Erma was killed."

"What?!" Su Xiaozhong's voice suddenly rose and his eyes became cold.

"Where is he? Who killed him?" His tone was filled with murderous intent and anger, and his whole aura became fierce.

"This morning, my subordinates went to Wang Erma to deal with something, but after calling for a long time without any response, they felt something was wrong. When our people pushed open the door of the wing room, they saw that he was dead. A dagger had pierced his heart directly."

Having said this, Li Er paused, sobbed sadly twice, raised his hand to his eyes, wiping away the empty tears.

"Someone must have sneaked into his room last night and brutally murdered him."

As the two were talking, they arrived outside Wang Erma's room. At this time, a group of people were already gathered outside the door. After seeing Su Xiaozhong, these people made way for him.

Everyone greeted respectfully: "Good morning, Second Shopkeeper."

"Good morning, Second Shopkeeper."

Amid the greetings, Su Xiaozhong walked into the house with heavy steps, looking angry and sad.

There were two people standing in the room, examining Wang Erma's body.

These two people are doctors in the company.

When the two saw Su Xiaozhong coming, they bowed to him and said, "Second Shopkeeper."

Su Xiaozhong nodded slightly and asked, "What can you see?"

One of them said, "To answer the second shopkeeper's question, judging from the stiffness of Wang Erma's body, he died about halfway through the evening. His fatal wound was on his heart."

"Killed with one blow! The murderer was decisive and decisive. It's obvious that he kills frequently and it was premeditated."

Su Xiaozhong listened carefully with a serious expression.

He turned to look at Li Er, "Have you searched the room carefully? Have you found anything else?"

Li Er shook his head in shame, "It's not too late yet."

"Call a few brothers over and search the house carefully to see if there are any clues." Su Xiaozhong gave the order in a cold voice.

"yes."

"Also, call all the people who were on duty yesterday for questioning. Someone actually sneaked into the store and killed our people. This shows that they don't take our Baishan Hall seriously. If this matter does not have a result, where is the dignity of our Baishan Hall?" Su Xiaozhong had a sinister look on his face.

Everyone around felt the second shopkeeper's anger, and they were all silent, afraid and angry at the same time.

In the backyard courtyard, Su Xiaozhong sat on the armchair, Li Er questioned the people who were on duty last night one by one, and several younger brothers were searching the house carefully.

The guard on duty did not obtain any useful clues, which made Su Xiaozhong very dissatisfied.

Li Er naturally saw it, and could only hope to find something in the house.

At this moment, the people in the room hurried out with excitement on their faces.

"Second Shopkeeper, we found something in the house."

The minion handed the thing over respectfully. After seeing the thing, Su Xiaozhong's expression turned very ugly.

Li Er and others also recognized the owner of that thing.

"Call Wang Zhong over."

Wang Zhong was the person in charge of escorting Daya's group of slaves last time. He was under the command of the third shopkeeper and had a very good relationship with Li Xing.

Li Xing had died long ago, and Su Xiaozhong, once Li Xing's subordinate, had ascended to the top by surpassing Li Xing. Wang Zhong had always been at odds with Su Xiaozhong and had been secretly keeping an eye on him, trying to find evidence to bring him down.

This time, I can take advantage of Wang Erma's incident to get rid of this annoying fly, Wang Zhong.

Previously, Wang Zhong had been kept around for one reason: first, he wanted to establish an honest and kind image for himself. The more the other party targeted him, the more opportunities he had to show off, which would be very helpful for him to gain a foothold in Baishan Hall. Second, keeping Wang Zhong would give him a chance to bring in the power of the third shopkeeper.

I originally wanted to keep them for a while, but for the safety of my daughter, these unfavorable factors must all die.
