Chapter 882: A Different Son of Heaven
Wei Changtian didn't think about this question for too long.
It’s not that he has figured it out, but that he has no idea at all.
God knows where that old beggar got the information.
I don't even know his name.
And that Son of Heaven, I don't know which one it is Shaking his head and standing up, Wei Changtian's expression at the moment was not depressed.
After all, no matter what, we have obtained a lot of information tonight.
Not only did they finally find the mysterious man, but they also learned that he had at least two Sons of Heaven under his command.
More importantly, based on the current situation, I am fully capable of competing with him.
“.”
He walked to the window, opened it, and took out a piece of mother-and-child jade from his arms.
The jade had become hot a quarter of an hour ago, but Wei Changtian had no time to deal with it at that time, so he didn't have time to respond until now.
As time passed, Wei Changtian, who held the mother and child jade in his hand, finally received information about the situation from Li Zimu.
The two assassins died just before they confessed, and the cause of death is still unknown.
Of course, although Li Zimu and the people of Jiuzhen Sect did not know why they died, Wei Changtian knew it very well.
There is no doubt that it was done by the faceless beast of destiny.
And this also reveals a little bit of the ability of this Son of Heaven.
Before this, the only divine beast of fortune that could fight directly in a "virtual state" was Chu An's Zhulong. Creatures like Huanglong and Yingyu could only rely on specific artifacts to "transform from virtual to real" and thus have the ability to fight.
Oh, there is a special one among them, that is Bai Youheng’s Gu Diao.
Although the Gu Diao cannot directly cause harm in the "virtual state", it can still bewitch people's minds.
Now it seems that the abilities of this faceless beast should have some similarities with those of the Gu Diao.
Although he cannot kill people directly like Zhulong, he can achieve this goal through other means.
As for how he did it specifically, after thinking for a moment, Wei Changtian decided to go to the compound himself to take a look at the circumstances of death of the two assassins and see if he could analyze anything.
“Bang!”
With a wave of his hand, the candle went out.
Wei Changtian didn't hesitate. After making up his mind, he pushed the door and walked out of the guest room, ready to go to the compound again.
Just as he walked out of the room, a scholar in ordinary clothes pushed open the door of the next room.
Hmm? Where's Gu Paner?
He turned his head to look at the scholar, then glanced through the door into the dark room.
Wei Changtian immediately realized that Gu Paner no longer lived here, so he was stunned for a moment.
I recalled that several people had entered Gu Paner's room before she left, so, was she taken away by someone?
But that’s not right. Didn’t she say she wanted to redeem herself?
After smiling at the scholar, Wei Changtian quickly retracted his gaze and stopped thinking about it.
Gu Paner’s “leaving without saying goodbye” was not a big deal, and had nothing to do with him. He certainly would not waste his energy on such issues.
However, having said that, when Wei Changtian walked down the stairs to the front hall of the inn, he still casually asked the waiter a question.
"Where is Miss Gu who lives in the room next to mine?"
"Ah, Master Wei."
The waiter looked up and whispered, "Don't you know? Her house was robbed."
"Beaten?"
Wei Changtian was stunned: "When did it happen?"
"I don't know about that, but according to Miss Gu, she was not in the room only at lunch today."
The waiter sighed, "Alas, I heard from the shopkeeper that five thousand taels were lost. It was originally the money that Miss Gu intended to use to redeem herself."
“I don’t know whether the government will take care of this matter.”
“.”
The waiter felt a little sympathetic towards Gu Paner and kept mumbling to himself.
On the other side, Wei Changtian frowned and asked:
"So where is she now? Did she report to the police?"
"She was picked up by the madam of the former brothel."
The waiter looked around and answered mysteriously, "Mr. Wei, you and Miss Gu are good friends. You should know that she was entertaining guests at Manxianglou before."
"Since the Banxiang Building is gone, their boss sold all the girls in the building to another brothel."
"If the silver had not been stolen, Miss Gu might have been able to use this opportunity to regain her freedom."
"But now?"
"I'm not stupid, how could I dare to leave her alone outside? Of course I took her away immediately."
I don't know where the waiter got all these "inside stories", but what he said sounded very convincing.
After listening to this, Wei Changtian roughly understood what had just happened.
Wow, what a coincidence.
After complaining in his heart, Wei Changtian did not doubt the authenticity of the whole thing, but he did not say much. He just nodded calmly.
"Okay, I understand."
"Oh, by the way, do you know which brothel Miss Gu went to?"
"This little guy is not clear."
“No problem.”
“.”
He gave the waiter some silver as a tip and walked out of the inn.
Wei Changtian turned his head and glanced at a wooden window on the second floor, and then disappeared into the moonlight.
About quarter of an hour later, Wei Changtian came to the compound again.
The four people from Jiuzhen Sect and Zhang San had been waiting for a long time, so as soon as he arrived, they immediately took him to the secret passage where Li Zimu had interrogated the two assassins.
After glancing at the tightly closed door of the secret room, Wei Changtian squatted next to the two corpses and casually ordered:
"Let the person go. She didn't kill him."
".Yes, sir."
After looking at each other, the four members of the Jiuzhen Sect didn't know why Wei Changtian came to this conclusion so easily, but they still obeyed the order and released the people immediately.
At the same time, Wei Changtian also looked carefully at the two corpses at his feet.
Perhaps in order to "protect the clues" as much as possible, the four people from the Jiuzhen Sect did not take any further action except dragging the bodies out of the secret room, so the two bodies still retained the extremely terrified expressions they had before death.
However, Wei Changtian's gaze did not linger on their faces for too long. He just took a quick glance and his sight fell on the two shallow marks on their necks.
"What exactly happened? Tell me the whole story."
Without looking back, Wei Changtian just squatted on the ground and suddenly asked a question.
Li Zimu, who had come out of the secret room and happened to walk behind him, immediately replied: "Sir, I didn't feel anything unusual at that time."
“.”
Soon, Li Zimu recounted in detail what had happened.
Wei Changtian did not speak immediately. After thinking for a while, he pointed at the two marks and asked again: "Are you saying that these two marks appeared out of thin air at that time?"
"Yes, it's like there really is an invisible rope."
Li Zimu replied softly, "And the deaths of the two men certainly looked like they were strangled to death."
"Zhang San was strangled to death."
Wei Changtian turned his head and asked Zhang San: "How deep do you think the mark would be if you wanted to strangle a second-grade master?"
"this."
Zhang San didn't expect Wei Changtian to suddenly ask him, so he was stunned for a moment.
But he quickly gave an answer based on his "rich" experience.
"Sir, with such a shallow mark, even an ordinary person can't kill him, let alone a second-rank master."
"Really?"
Wei Changtian narrowed his eyes.
“This one is a bit interesting.”
