Flaming Rhinoceros quickly finished writing the confession and pressed his handprint on it.
The confession was written on two large sheets of paper and explained everything clearly. Where the Sun family found him, the person who contacted him, the reward he was given, how he contacted the Sun family after arriving in Shangjing City, how he got the rest of the reward after he succeeded … everything was explained clearly without leaving anything out.
As a top assassin, Flaming Rhinoceros's handwriting was actually very good.
Xia Pingan looked at the confession and nodded with satisfaction. He took out a jade pen and tapped it. Flaming Rhinoceros, who had just finished writing the confession, changed again and slowly turned into a little black pig.
Seeing that Flaming Rhinoceros had honestly confessed, Xia Pingan also gave Flaming Rhinoceros some preferential treatment. He took off the chain on Flaming Rhinoceros's neck and let it regain its freedom of movement.
The little black pig, who had regained its freedom, was very obedient. It ran to the corner of the office and stayed there. It didn't say anything, didn't move, and didn't run around. It tried to reduce its presence as much as possible.
Only one of the five demons was left. The matter of the Sun family could also come to an end today. Xia Pingan let out a long sigh. He picked up the teacup that Wei Meiyu had poured and was about to take a sip.
A figure flashed in front of Xia Pingan. Child of Fortune suddenly appeared and kicked the teacup in his hand. The tea leaves and water in the teacup spilled all over the floor of the office, making a clattering sound.
Xia Pingan was shocked.
"Who is it …" Almost at the same time the teacup fell to the ground, the iron masked man's figure suddenly appeared in Xia Pingan's office. His eyes flashed as he scanned the situation in the office.
In the eyes of the iron masked man, there was nothing unusual in the office except for Xia Pingan and the cup that had suddenly spilled on the floor.
"This, sorry, my hand suddenly slipped and the cup fell …" Xia Pingan was very satisfied with the iron masked man's reaction. This was the quality of a Seven Sun Realm bodyguard.
The iron masked man didn't notice that there was an extra Child of Fortune in Xia Pingan's office. Seeing that Xia Pingan didn't seem to have encountered any accidents, the iron masked man was relieved.
The Dark Demon's bookstore had been sealed and closed. The bookstore was now like a bloody slaughterhouse. Child of Fortune, who had been following the Dark Demon, found something after the Dark Demon was dealt with by the Shadow Squad. After wandering outside for a while, he finally returned to his master's side.
Xia Pingan thought that Child of Fortune had coincidentally returned and knocked his teacup.... but.....
......................... and and.... and his whole body fell on the desk... a...... a............ and tea..... drinking................ of. of...
. The performance of Child of Fortune in his dudou was too cute. He was charmingly naive and cute. But after seeing Child of Fortune's performance, Xia Pingan's expression changed.
"The tea is poisonous!" Xia Pingan muttered to himself.
Child of Fortune nodded fiercely. He made a face at Xia Pingan and jumped onto Xia Pingan's shoulder. He began to mischievously pull Xia Pingan's ears and swung around, having a lot of fun.
"What did you say?" The iron masked man was also stunned. He thought that Xia Pingan was talking to him. Then, he looked at the tea on the ground.
The tea on the ground had a normal color. It didn't have any strange reaction. Unlike those strange poisons, when they were put in the cup, they would smoke the moment they touched the ground. It was as if they were afraid that others wouldn't know that they were highly toxic.
Xia Pingan didn't speak. He just took out a small piece of dried fish from his space-teleportation warehouse. Then, he picked it up with chopsticks and carefully came to the tea on the ground. He dipped the dried fish in the tea on the ground. After that, he walked to the window of the office and opened it. He then took out several pieces of dried fish and a small plate from the space-teleportation warehouse. He put all the dried fish in the small plate. After that, he put the small plate on the windowsill outside and closed the window. He then waited patiently.
The dried fish had a fishy smell. When it was placed at the window, in less than two minutes, a few flies that were flying outside were attracted to it.
Yes, there were flies in Shang Jing City, especially in summer. Those flies would be attracted by the smell of dried fish. They would fly to the windowsill and land on the dried fish in the plate.
Two flies landed on the dried fish that had been dipped in the tea.
In just a few seconds, the two flies fell down. The bodies of the flies stiffened, turned black, and decomposed into fine black sand. They scattered on the plate bit by bit. When the wind blew, they were gone.
A few more flies landed on the dried fish. However, they all turned into fine black sand in the blink of an eye and scattered with the wind.
"Black Poison!" The iron-masked man inside the window sucked in a breath of cold air.
"You know about this poison?" Xia Pingan looked at the iron masked man.
The iron masked man's voice was very solemn. "This is one of the most terrifying poisons. It's colorless, tasteless, and almost impossible to detect. However, once it touches someone and is eaten, that person's body would stiffen in a few breaths' time and turn into fine black sand. Even a deity couldn't save him. Even an Eight Sun Realm expert would die after being poisoned by this poison …"
Hearing this, Xia Pingan broke out in cold sweat. He almost drank the tea just now. If not for the timely appearance of the Child of Fortune, he would have turned into a pile of fine black sand.
Unknowingly, he had gone back and forth from the gates of hell.
"Is this poison very precious?"
"Let's put it this way. Even if you give me money, I might not be able to buy it. Everyone is afraid of this thing. Even the auction house doesn't have it!" The iron masked man answered directly.
'F * ck, where did this poison come from? Is there a problem with the water in the Inspection Department? Is there a problem with the tea, or … the person?'
After circling around Xia Pingan's body for a few times, the Child of Fortune disappeared from Xia Pingan's body in the next second. He jumped onto the ground and circled around the spilled tea. Then, he appeared in the secretaries' room outside and jumped to Wei Meiyu's side. He pointed at a lady's handbag beside Wei Meiyu's chair — — Wei Meiyu usually brought that handbag to work.
The iron masked man stared at Xia Pingan and waited for Xia Pingan to make a decision. Therefore, he didn't notice what the Child of Fortune had done.
Xia Pingan's eyes flickered. In the next second, he put away the dried fish outside the windowsill and froze the poisonous tea on the ground into ice. After that, he put everything into his space-teleportation equipment in a container. After that, he walked to the door of the office and opened it. Then, he came to the secretaries' room outside.
Wei Meiyu was sorting out some documents. Seeing Xia Pingan coming out of the office and coming to her, Wei Meiyu hurriedly stood up and put her hands under her lower abdomen, "Sir, what's the matter? You can just call me."
Xia Pingan revealed a smile, "Are you used to your work recently?"
Hearing Xia Pingan's question, Wei Meiyu became nervous at once. She twisted her hands in front of her lower abdomen, "Sir … is … is there anything wrong with me? Please tell me, I can change it!"
Xia Pingan stared at Wei Meiyu's face and looked into her eyes. The expression on Wei Meiyu's face and eyes couldn't escape his gaze at all. In Wei Meiyu's eyes, Xia Pingan still saw the same innocence and inexperience as before. There was also a trace of anxiety and uneasiness, but that uneasiness only came from the pressure that his words gave her just now.
"It's nothing, you've done a good job!" Xia Pingan smiled and comforted her, "By the way, please go to the archives room and help me find the information about the murder cases in Donggang District in the last 5 years where ordinary people were controlled by a summoner's secret method and turned into puppets. I want to have a look!"
"Yes, sir, please wait a moment. There are a lot of case information in the archives room. I will sort it out and bring it to you!" A relaxed smile reappeared on Wei Meiyu's face. After that, Wei Meiyu left the secretaries' room and went to the archives room.
The moment Wei Meiyu left, Xia Pingan summoned a craftsman and asked him to gently open the handbag beside Wei Meiyu's seat. After a short while, the craftsman found a weird thumb-sized black porcelain bottle in Wei Meiyu's handbag. He then put the black porcelain bottle on the table in front of her.
Xia Pingan waved his hand. With a flash of light, the craftsman was taken back into the secret mandala.
A wall in the secretaries' room was decorated with stripes made of brown metal sheets. Those metal sheets were like a mirror.
In the next second, Xia Pingan took out a jade pen. Under the gaze of the iron-masked man, he wrote a holy text "Hen" on the wall.
The brown metal stripes on the wall started to glow. Then, like a movie being played in a mirror, it started to replay what had happened in the secretaries' room.
…
This morning, Wei Meiyu was still the first to come to work. She arrived at the Inspection Department very early.
After arriving at the secretaries' room, she started to tidy up and clean diligently. Everything seemed normal.
However, when she was about to tidy up a document, her body slightly quivered. Her eyes started to lose focus and her movements changed. She put down the document and took out Xia Pingan's teacup from the cabinet. Then, she opened her handbag and took out that black porcelain bottle. She poured two drops of transparent liquid into Xia Pingan's teacup. After that, she put Xia Pingan's teacup back to its original place and returned to her original position.
After doing all this, Wei Meiyu's body quivered slightly before returning to normal. She gently rubbed her forehead as if nothing had happened and continued to tidy up.
Not until Xia Pingan came back did Wei Meiyu habitually use Xia Pingan's teacup to make a cup of hot tea for Xia Pingan and bring it in …
"It seems that she has unknowingly become someone's puppet and has been controlled. Moreover, the person who poisoned you has already figured out your habits in the Inspection Department. That's why he made such a targeted arrangement. That's really terrifying …" The iron-masked man said softly as he watched from the side.
Targeting his habits, poisoning him through the trusted people around him. The entire process was done in such a casual manner that there was nothing out of the ordinary. Such a method was impossible to guard against.
Xia Pingan was terrified.
Nightmare!
These two words appeared in Xia Pingan's mind at once.
