Chapter 880 The Son of Heaven is Different from the Past
Wei Changtian didn't think about this issue for too long.
It's not that he has figured it out, but that he has no idea at all.
Who knows where that old beggar got the information.
I don't even know what his name is.
There is also the 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 considered depressed.
After all, no matter what, a lot of information has been obtained tonight.
Not only was the mysterious man finally found, but he also learned that he had at least two Sons of Heaven under his command.
More importantly, judging from the current situation, I am fully capable of competing with him.
"..."
He walked to the window, opened the wooden window, and took out a piece of jade from his arms.
This jade had become hot a quarter of an hour ago, but Wei Changtian didn't have time to respond at that time, so he didn't have time to respond until now.
As time passed by, Wei Changtian, who was holding the Zimu Jade, finally received information about Li Zimu's situation.
The two assassins died moments before they confessed, and the cause of death is still unknown.
Of course, although Li Zimu and the people of Jiuzhen Sect didn't know why they died, Wei Changtian knew it very well.
There is no doubt that it must have been the faceless beast of luck.
And this also reveals a little bit about the ability of this son of heaven.
Prior to this, the only divine beast of luck that could directly fight in an "illusory state" was Chu An's Zhulong. Similar to Huanglong, Yingyu and the like could only rely on specific artifacts to "turn from virtual to real" and then possess
Combat ability.
Oh, there is another special one among them, and that is Bai Youheng’s Gu carving.
Although the Gu Eagle cannot directly cause harm in its "virtual state", it can confuse people's minds.
But now it seems that the ability of this faceless beast should be somewhat similar to that of the Gu Eagle.
Although he cannot kill people directly like Zhulong, he can accomplish this goal through other methods.
As for how exactly it is done...
After thinking for a moment, Wei Changtian decided to go to the compound to take a look at the death conditions of the two assassins and see if he could analyze anything.
"Snapped!"
With a wave of his hand, the candle light went out.
Wei Changtian didn't leave any ink. After making up his mind, he opened the door and walked out of the guest room, preparing to go to the compound again.
And just as he walked out of the room, a scholar in ordinary clothes opened the door of the next door.
Huh? Where's Gu Pan'er?
He turned his head and glanced at the scholar, then looked through the door and into the dark room.
Wei Changtian immediately realized that Gu Pan'er no longer lived here, so he couldn't help but be stunned for a moment.
I recalled that several people had entered Gu Paner's room before leaving, so...
Was he picked up?
That's not right, didn't she say she wanted to redeem herself?
Smiling at the scholar, Wei Changtian quickly looked away and did not continue thinking.
Gu Pan'er's "farewell without saying goodbye" was not a big deal, and it had nothing to do with him. Of course, he would not waste energy on such issues.
But having said that, when Wei Changtian walked down the stairs to the front hall of the inn, he still casually asked the waiter.
"Where's Miss Gu who lives in the room next to me?"
"Ah, Mr. Wei."
The waiter raised his head and replied in a low voice: "Don't you know? Her house was robbed."
"Been robbed?"
Wei Changtian was stunned: "When did it happen?"
"I don't know about this little guy, but according to what Miss Gu said, she was only out of the room during lunch today."
The waiter sighed: "Oh, I heard from the shopkeeper that five thousand taels were lost. It was originally the money that Miss Gu planned to use to redeem herself."
"I don't know if the government will take care of this matter..."
"..."
The waiter in the shop felt a little sympathetic to Gu Pan'er and kept mumbling.
On the other side, Wei Changtian frowned and then asked:
"Then where has she gone now? Did she report to the police?"
"She was picked up by the former brothel's madam."
The waiter looked around and replied mysteriously: "Mr. Wei, you and Miss Gu are good friends. You should know that she was picking up customers at Manxiang Building before."
"Aren't you dissatisfied that the Fragrance House is gone? Their big shopkeeper resold all the girls in the building to another brothel."
"If the money had not been stolen, Miss Gu might still be able to take this opportunity to free herself."
"But now..."
"I'm not stupid. I dared to leave her alone. Of course I picked her up right away..."
I don’t know where the waiter got so many “insider stories” from, but he has a nose and an eye.
After hearing this, Wei Changtian roughly understood what had just happened.
Good guy, what a coincidence.
Wei Changtian complained in his mind that he did not doubt the authenticity of the whole thing, but he did not say anything more and just nodded with a calm expression.
"okay, I get it."
"Oh, by the way, did you know that Miss Gu went to that brothel?"
"This little guy doesn't know."
"It doesn't matter..."
"..."
I gave the waiter a few coins as a reward and walked out of the inn.
Wei Changtian looked back and glanced at a certain wooden window on the second floor, which was immediately submerged in the moonlight.
...
...
Almost two quarters of an hour later, Wei Changtian came to the compound again.
The four members of the Jiuzhen Sect and Zhang San had been waiting for a long time, so when he arrived, they immediately took him to the secret passage where Li Zimu interrogated the two assassins.
Glancing at the closed door of the secret room, Wei Changtian squatted next to the two corpses and casually ordered:
"Let the person out, she was not the one who killed him."
"...Yes, Master."
They looked at each other. Although the four members of the Jiuzhen Sect didn't know why Wei Changtian came to this conclusion so easily, they still obeyed the order and immediately released him.
At the same time, Wei Changtian also took a closer look at the two corpses at his feet.
Perhaps in order to "protect clues" as much as possible, the four members of the Jiuzhen Cult did not do any more processing except dragging the corpses out of the secret room, so the two corpses still retained the expressions of extreme fear before death.
However, Wei Changtian's gaze did not stay on their faces for too long. He just glanced at them and his eyes fell on the two shallow marks on their necks.
"Tell me exactly what happened."
Without looking back, Wei Changtian squatted on the ground and suddenly asked.
Li Zimu, who had already come out of the secret room and walked up behind him, immediately replied:
"Sir, I didn't feel anything unusual at that time..."
"..."
Soon, Li Zimu carefully explained everything that happened at that time.
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 traces appeared out of thin air at that time?"
"Yes, it's like there really is an invisible rope."
Li Zimu replied softly: "And the two people's deaths did look like they were strangled."
"Strangled to death...Zhang San."
Wei Changtian turned to Zhang San and asked: "How deep do you think the traces left behind would be if you tried to strangle a second-level master to death?"
"this......"
Zhang San didn't expect that Wei Changtian would suddenly ask him, so he couldn't help but be stunned for a moment.
But he quickly gave the answer based on his "rich" experience.
"Sir, with such shallow marks, not only a second-grade master, but also an ordinary person cannot be killed."
