Chapter 868: Mystery
"Young Master, be careful!!"
When the object thrown by the old beggar drew an arc in the air and fell accurately behind the window, Zhang San's shout immediately exploded in the house, and at the same time, his figure flashed out and instantly blocked Wei Changtian.
No wonder he reacted so violently.
After all, unlike in Yongding, few people in Linchuan City now know that Wei Changtian lives here, so there will definitely be no situation where the common people will come and throw rotten eggs and vegetables to vent their anger.
Therefore, this item is most likely a "dangerous item".
“Bang, bang, bang!!”
Tables and chairs were blown away, and the internal energy in his body surged wildly.
Although Zhang San had not yet seen clearly what was coming, his series of subconscious actions undoubtedly demonstrated his loyalty.
Wei Changtian's expression was much calmer, he just frowned unconsciously.
In fact, he had already noticed this thing long before Zhang San.
To be more precise, he had even already seen clearly what the object was.
It is for this reason that Wei Changtian is not taking any action now.
Because it was not some "dangerous item" but a beautifully crafted hairpin.
"Shua~"
With a wave of his hand, the golden hairpin with tassels flew into his hand.
Looking at the golden hairpin in his hand, Wei Changtian's expression gradually became strange.
Someone threw a hairpin in? What does that mean?
This hairpin has no mechanism or secret. It is just a hairpin.
The only thing is that it looks familiar, etc!
Suddenly, Wei Changtian's eyes suddenly changed at a certain moment.
He didn't bother to explain anything to Zhang San and Li Zimu. The next second, he turned into a black shadow and flashed out of the window, trying to find the person who threw the hairpin.
“.”
There were a few vendors hawking their wares on the street and a few children playing on the street.
There were not many pedestrians on the long street outside the window. Most of them looked up at Wei Changtian in a daze, with expressions of great surprise.
These people may never see a top-three master who can stand in the air in their entire lives, so it is normal for them to have such a reaction at this time.
Wei Changtian didn't care about everyone's gazes. He just glanced at everyone one by one, and his expression became increasingly ugly.
There is no doubt that these people should be just ordinary people.
As for the mysterious person who threw the hairpin, he must have escaped by now.
"call"
Taking a deep breath, Wei Changtian realized that he wouldn't get anything out of these people even if he asked them, so he quickly returned to the room.
Li Zimu and Zhang San immediately came over and asked with a worried look on their faces: "Master, have you found the thief?"
"What did the thief throw in?"
“.”
Without answering immediately, Wei Changtian walked to the table expressionlessly and sat down, placing the golden hairpin in his hand on the table.
"This is."
Li Zimu and Zhang San looked at this exquisitely crafted hairpin and were a little confused for a moment.
They were just like Wei Changtian, unable to understand why someone would throw such a thing in.
After a while, Wei Changtian finally answered word by word: "This is Wan'er's hairpin."
".Mrs. Xu's hairpin?"
After looking at each other, Li Zimu and Zhang San's eyes were instantly filled with surprise.
"I won't admit my mistake."
On the other side, Wei Changtian frowned and continued:
"This hairpin was specially ordered for me when Wan'er and I got married. There is only one in the world."
"And now it has fallen into the hands of others."
Wei Changtian clenched his fists and did not continue speaking, but Li Zimu and Zhang San already understood the meaning of his words.
This was undoubtedly a threat.
After all, being able to get this hairpin means that the person who lost the hairpin has the ability to sneak into Wei Changtian's mansion in Shuzhou City without being noticed.
This time it was a hairpin that was lost, so what about next time? Will it be a living person? "Send a message to Wan'er and ask her about the hairpin."
After a long silence, Wei Changtian finally spoke slowly: "But don't tell her the truth for now, lest she lose her composure."
"yes."
Zhang San responded immediately, and after hesitating for a moment, he asked cautiously, "Sir, do you want to ask Shuzhou City to strengthen its security, or take the ladies to hide somewhere else first?"
".No."
Wei Changtian shook his head: "Qin'er is still pregnant, she can't be frightened."
"Besides, since this person dares to threaten me so blatantly, I'm sure he has more tricks up his sleeve. I guess it's useless to hide from him."
"That's all for now. Let me think about what to do next."
"yes"
After responding again, Zhang San and Li Zimu looked at each other secretly, and knowing that Wei Changtian needed quiet at this time, they slowly left the room.
"Squeak~"
The door closed gently, and soon there was no sound in the room, except for the faint sound of Wei Changtian's breathing.
As I just said, this is definitely a warning.
But who exactly did this warning come from? Wei Changtian rubbed his forehead, and faces flashed through his mind.
Liu Yuanshan, Ning Yongnian, Yan Huanwen, and Lu Hongji undoubtedly have many enemies, and most of them are enemies of life and death.
Although he had been trying his best to root out the evil, how could he avoid any mistakes when these forces were so huge? What was certain was that there were countless people in the world who wanted to kill him.
However, few of these people are capable of stealing this hairpin from their own homes.
After all, Shuzhou City is his base camp, and the house where Xu Qingwan and others live is staffed with countless guards, some of whom are even top-three masters.
With this kind of "security level", it would be extremely difficult to steal this hairpin without the cooperation of a spy.
More importantly, if these enemies really have the ability to enter the mansion and steal the hairpin, why would they go to the trouble of warning him? Wouldn't it be the best revenge to kill a few of them? Therefore, from a comprehensive analysis of "ability" and "motive", Wei Changtian did not think that the person who stole the hairpin was the "remnant" of the enemies he had made before.
So, who is he?
"Boom, boom, boom"
Wei Changtian tapped the table rhythmically with his fingers and closed his eyes, thinking for a long time.
The golden sunlight from outside the window poured in, casting a layer of brilliance on the gold hairpin on the table.
Then at a certain moment, he finally slowly opened his eyes, as if he had the answer.
In other words, he had a guess, which was the only possibility he could think of now -
The person who stole the hairpin was the mastermind behind yesterday's assassination, and was also the mysterious man behind Huo Tianyang.
Only this person has the ability to steal the hairpin and the motivation to play such a "cat and mouse" game with himself.
Finally, as for what he was warning himself about. He had just gone to find the four masters of the Nine True Sect this morning, and then such a thing happened in less than two hours. Wei Changtian did not believe that this was a coincidence, so he quickly came to two conclusions.
First, this person was threatening me not to continue investigating his identity.
Second, this person is most likely in Linchuan City.
“.”
He slowly raised his head and glanced out the window.
The shadows of the trees intertwined obliquely on the wooden windows. In the scorching light and shadow, the vertical and horizontal outlines looked particularly confusing.
