Chapter 279 Encounter (Second update, please give me a monthly ticket)

Looking around the casino, the lights are like weaving, red is falling, every face is reflected in greed, but some are excited, some are excited, some are lost, some are in pain, the sound of dice, pai gow, horse hanging, and so on It sounds no different than before.

This made Meng Qi seem to have had a dream, dreaming of an assassination, but when he woke up, there was no trace, and he was still in the casino.

The assassin's ability to hide his aura and cover up his murderous intent was unique to Meng Qi in his life. When he was not making moves, he was no different from ordinary people. There was no difference in the true sense.

"Qiu Fei found out and deliberately led me to a crowded place like a casino to assassinate me?"

"With his half-step strength on location, he can take me to an uninhabited place outside the city and do it myself. Wouldn't it be more reliable?"

"Or is it the person he wants to meet, who sends a gang of assassins to find and eliminate the stalkers?"

Thoughts came to mind one after another. Meng Qi held the handle of the knife tightly in his right hand and slowly passed through the crowds of people and reached the entrance of the private room.

It is a lot cleaner here, with many courtyards, each integrated into one, making it convenient for people with status to have fun. Meng Qi lost track of Qiu Fei, and he couldn't snoop in every private room. That would easily offend people he shouldn't, so he had to hide. At the entrance of the elegant courtyard, waiting for the dealer and maid to come out, they asked using the magic of phantom mixed with a little bit of "the magic of changing the sky and striking the earth".

"I've never seen this person before..."

"There is no private room in my charge..."

"No new guests came in just now..."

Each answer made Meng Qi puzzled. He was clearly watching Qiu Fei walking towards the private room. Where did he go?

After searching for a while, Meng Qi finally determined that he had lost him, and he was more inclined to believe that the assassin's purpose was to hinder or get rid of the people who were following Qiu Fei.

"But you won't use such a powerful assassin to do chores..." With such doubts, Meng Qi left Tianzi No. 1 Casino and returned to the rented compound.

Because of what happened to the assassin just now, he was in high spirits and opened the door cautiously to prevent an ambush and assassination.

The courtyard door creaked open, but Meng Qi's pupils shrank violently.

In the center of the courtyard, there was something that he didn't have before he left.

This is a coffin!

This is a dark coffin!

The dim moonlight fell and flowed through the black coffin, bringing with it an indescribable gloom.

Someone brought me a coffin... Meng Qi was shocked and angry. "Heaven's Wound" unsheathed directly, alternating steps, and slowly approached the coffin.

He suppressed his emotions and reflected on the surrounding scene. There was no life inside the coffin, no sense of flesh and blood, and it didn't look like someone was ambushing him.

Tian Zhishang picked it up, and the coffin lid fell to the side. There was nothing inside, except for a small wooden sculpture.

It was carved into the shape of a human being, the size of a palm, with a face full of pain, and a piece of paper stuck to the lower lip, covering the body.

There are four words written on the note:

"Crazy Sword Su Meng."

What kind of hero is he who pretends to be a god? Meng Qi was not frightened and snorted coldly. Is this a declaration of death or an act to deliberately disturb his state of mind?

He believed that if Qingyu behaved like this again, his methods would not be so despicable, because if he was exposed, it would only discredit the Xuantian Sect. How could the Heavenly Emperor's orthodoxy be such a coward?

So, he was being targeted?

Who is it and which force did it?

What do you want to achieve?

Meng Qi was not a good gentleman who was bullied into the house but got rich in a friendly manner. After carefully searching all over the yard and finding no clues, he put away the wood carvings and notes and knocked on the neighbor's door next door.

After a while, the neighbor next door came out in his coat, sleepy-eyed and yawning, and peered out through the crack in the door to prevent robbers from trying to break the door.

"Old man, I have something to ask you." Meng Qi said bluntly. He had long since released the changes in the Eight-Nine Mysterious Techniques and washed away the things on his face.

The old man was startled at first, then opened the door and asked half curiously and half worried: "Mr. Su, are you asking about the coffin in the courtyard?"

"Exactly." Meng Qi nodded and replied.

The old man pursed his lips a few times: "Mr. 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 wanted to challenge A certain master prepared a coffin for himself to cut off the escape route, 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 were two strangers. They looked like they were from the coffin shop, but they were definitely not from nearby."

The coffin shop... this must have been entrusted by someone, right? Meng Qi was very confident in his spiritual skills. As long as he found the coffin shop, he could ask the clerk and shopkeeper about the appearance of the person who bought the coffin.

"What's so special about their appearance?" Meng Qi asked.

The neighbor thought carefully and suddenly said "ah": "One of the guys had a black mole on the corner of his mouth, which was very conspicuous."

After asking a few more questions, Meng Qi thanked him sincerely, turned and left the door, thinking about countermeasures.

"Carrying the coffin through the market in the middle of the night, Maoling is not a place under curfew. Many drunkards and gamblers return at night, plus the watchmen, there should be many people seeing it!" Without further delay, Meng Qi decided to investigate immediately.

After calculating the time, Meng Qi decided to find the group of watchmen who were nearby at the time.

Without much trouble, he found his target by asking other watchmen.

"I remember that coffin very clearly. Who wouldn't be scared when seeing a coffin in the middle of the night?" Thinking back to it, the old watchman was still a little trembling. Even though he was far away, it still left a deep impression on him. He thought there was a corpse transformation. .

Meng Qi was delighted, there was a clue!

"Old man, did you see which street they came from? Do you know which coffin shop they belong to?" He suppressed his joy.

In addition, the watchman was thinking about the memories and said in an uncertain tone: "I came from North Street. There seems to be only one coffin shop nearby."

Meng Qi regained his energy, asked for the exact location of the coffin shop, and rushed there at night.

There were few pedestrians and the night was thick. The door of the coffin shop was closed and hidden in the darkness.

Meng Qi didn't waste any time, climbed over the wall and landed in the courtyard, intending to "question" them one by one.

Suddenly, he smelled the smell of blood at the tip of his nose. His heart tightened, and he followed the smell to the back door of the store.

The door was not closed and was half-covered. Meng Qi pushed it gently and it fell against the wall.

Stepping in carefully, the first thing that caught your eye was the black coffins, which were neatly placed there, looking strange and eerie.

Taking a deep breath, his nose filtered the smell to identify the source of the bloody smell.

Meng Qi walked step by step to a coffin, "Heaven's Wound" gathered strength, "Ziwu" stretched out, and lifted the lid of the coffin.

The lid slid off, revealing the contents of the coffin.

Inside lay a man with wide-eyed eyes, a dead man with a frightened face!

There is an obvious black mole at the corner of his mouth!

Cause of death: Sword between eyebrows.

"Being silenced..." Meng Qi frowned slightly, feeling that the matter was more and more confusing.

Based on the source of the bloody smell, Meng Qi opened two more coffins. Inside were two dead people, one dressed as a waiter and the other in better clothes, pretending to be the shopkeeper.

"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 except for the wound between the eyebrows, there were no other traces.

He turned around and searched the counter and found that the account book had been burned to ashes, leaving no purchase record.

"Is the clue now over?" Meng Qi gritted his teeth and squatted down to inspect the body again, making a last-ditch effort.

Huh? Meng Qi suddenly realized that something was wrong. The two waiters had their mouths half-opened with frightened expressions on their faces. Only the shopkeeper had a frightened face but his lips were tightly closed.

With gentle 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 and found that it was part of the account book. It seemed that when he first did the accounting, he misrecorded the amount of silver and was too lazy to correct it, so he just tore it out and balled it up. The dumpling was thrown away, but then he picked it up again somehow and stuffed it into his mouth.

Meng Qi seemed to be able to imagine the scene in his mind. One of the waiters was killed, and the remaining one tried to escape and call for help. But the shopkeeper saw that the other man was so strong that he couldn't escape at all. He was so frightened that he collapsed to the ground and fell next to the dustpan. Seeing the paper ball, he secretly stuffed the paper ball into his mouth and closed it tightly with the thought of dying together.

The records on the paper ball were blurred, and Meng Qi could barely make out part of the content:

"...Guanjin Garden...Jiang Tabo...a Dingnan wood coffin...sent to..."

Guanjin Garden... Jiang Tabo... Meng Qi repeated it, took back the paper ball, erased his traces, left the shop, and went straight to Guanjin Garden, which is a famous inn in Maoling.

Not long after, Meng Qi sneaked into Guanjin Garden. Through "questioning" the clerk, he learned that Jiang Tabo lived in Hefeng Xiaozhu. He came alone a few days ago, but he was often visited by martial arts people.

Meng Qiyi, a master of art, was so bold that his spirit covered his body, and he turned into a phantom demon and fell directly into Hefeng Xiaozhu.

From what he sensed, there was no breath in the wing.

Could it be that Jiang Tapo has escaped?

Carefully opening the window, Meng Qi jumped in. Before he even landed, he could clearly see the scene inside the room.

A young man was half-sitting on the ground, with his back against the bed. His eyes were wide-eyed with an expression of horror. There were long knife marks between his chest and abdomen!

He has the iconic angular eyes and broom eyebrows, which completely fits the image of Jiang Tabo as mentioned by the waiter!

"He was also killed?" Meng Qi immediately noticed something unusual.

The knife mark was scorched black, as if it had been struck by lightning, thus erasing the blood, so Meng Qi didn't smell it outside.

"This, if you take a quick look at it, it looks like I did it!"

Meng Qi's heart moved, he turned around and jumped out of the window, planning to leave here first.

At this moment, there was a crisp sound, and a stone flew from outside the courtyard and hit the steps. The sound was not loud, but it swayed very far in the quiet night.

Meng Qi's energy instantly reached its peak and he tried to swing his knife towards the place where the stone came from.

A figure rushed from outside. After seeing the stranger, he immediately blocked Meng Qi's way.

He is young, has dark skin, prominent eyebrows, and is dressed in ordinary clothes, just like a farmer. His movements and movements are in harmony with the surrounding environment.

This young man had extremely sharp eyesight. Through the open window, he saw the body beside the bed. His expression suddenly became gloomy, with uncontrollable anger and hatred.
