Chapter 458

"Why did you mention Mr. Leisure?" Mengqi asked in a calm tone.

Fei Zhengqing smiled like an old fox — although his face was horse-like, "Wasn't he one of the Twelve Animal Zodiac Gods hired by Mr. Leisure?"

Mengqi said calmly, "There must be more than one person who wants to know about the treasures of the Snow God Palace."

"So it wasn't him …" Fei Zhengqing was in a daze.

Meng Qi continued asking, "What other clues did you have after that?"

Fei Zhengqing thought for a while and said, "There was one person I always suspected to be a remnant of the Snow God Palace, but I couldn't get permission from the Castellan because I had no evidence."

"May I know who it is?" A hoarse voice came from behind the smiling monkey mask. His tone was still calm and emotionless.

Fei Zhengqing sighed, "You Tongguang."

He only said one name, so he took it for granted that Mengqi must know.

Mengqi cursed in his heart. If this person hadn't been mentioned in the information given by Duan Xiangfei, he really wouldn't have known who it was!

You Tongguang, Cui Xu's sworn brother, was one of the richest businessmen in Destiny City. He controlled the food, ironware, and escort agencies of several nearby provinces.

He was not only rich and powerful, but also had superb martial arts. It was said that he once opened the Secret Chamber of the Human Body, but was stabbed at the last moment. Since then, his martial arts had stagnated, and he was addicted to beauty and money.

Without Cui Xu's approval, even if Fei Zhengqing had ten times the courage, he would not have dared to capture and interrogate such a character.

If Fei Zhengqing was ranked among the top ten most powerful people in Destiny City, then You Tongguang was the most powerful person after Castellan Cui Xu and Young Castellan Cui Jinhua.

"Are you trying to use me to deal with You Tongguang?" Mengqi said with a smile.

If You Tongguang was killed, with his sons' martial arts skills, even with Cui Xu's support, they wouldn't be able to keep such a big family business, and their power would definitely decline. Correspondingly, Fei Zhengqing could instruct his men to swallow up some of the business.

If they found out that You Tongguang was a remnant of the Snow God Palace, it would be even better. Cui Xu, who claimed to be righteous, wouldn't protect him anymore. At that time, everyone would join forces to divide the You Family.

Fei Zhengqing's expression didn't change. He still looked distressed, "You Tongguang and I have been brothers for many years. How could I use an outsider to harm him? If I hadn't found some clues in Dabei Temple, I wouldn't have suspected him. But if he was really a remnant of the Snow Tongguang, I had no choice.

"Do you have any clues?" Meng Qi was not moved by his expression and words at all.

Fei Zhengqing answered without hesitation, "We found a few handwritten letters from Old You in Dabei Temple. They look like they are normal business deals, but I feel something is not right. Since when did Old You start writing letters to do business in Destiny City? "Tongguang".

"Perhaps You Tongguang didn't dare to show his face because of the sale of illegal ironware." Mengqi said casually. If You Tongguang didn't dare to show his face, would he dare to write letters? "

Fei Zhengqing seemed to have sensed Mengqi's insincerity. He smiled and said, "In Destiny City, if You Tongguang says something is illegal, then it is illegal. If he says it is not, then it will not be. If You Tongguang is careful, he wouldn't even write letters. He would only send his steward. If there's a problem, he would kill him immediately."

"Not necessarily. The letters can be burned. You just arrived early." Mengqi refuted Fei Zhengqing. He wanted to see if Fei Zhengqing could reveal other evidence.

Fei Zhengqing pretended to recall, "Another time, I went to You Tongguang's house and broke into his study. I saw him hurriedly putting away a snow-white jade pendant. I didn't pay much attention to it. After all, there are many similar jade materials. Now that I think about it, it looks like the 'Ice Heart Pendant' passed down from generation to generation by the Four Guardians of the Snow God Palace. This kind of jade is rare enough to be a symbol of the remnant of the Snow God Palace. But I'm not sure if You Tongguang's is the same. "

"Is there no other evidence?" Mengqi asked emotionlessly. He was still wondering why Duan Xiangfei would hide part of the information. What was his purpose …

"No. If there was, I would have reported it to the Castellan." Fei Zhengqing shook his head.

Mengqi was noncommittal. "After the Dabei Temple incident, did you keep an eye on You Tongguang?"

"His Kung Fu is too good. Only a few arresters who are good at tracking can keep an eye on him. Due to the lack of manpower, I often lose track of him. Now I'm planning to start with his sons." Fei Zhengqing said everything he knew.

Mengqi asked a few more questions to make sure there were no contradictions or loopholes in Fei Zhengqing's story. Then he walked to Jin Ancheng and said, "You can tell me now. If it's different from what Head Arrester Fei said, don't blame me for being ruthless."

Jin Ancheng nodded hard and opened his mouth, "At that time …"

Just as he opened his mouth, his eyes suddenly froze. He saw a figure jumping down from the beam. The sword was like a shuttle, stabbing straight at Mengqi.

It was not until the "gentleman on the beam" made his move that Mengqi felt his existence. He was shocked. He used his Buddhist Commandment Blade to split Mount Hua, intending to force the opponent to retreat with a fierce attack.

For some reason, Mengqi always felt that the figure was slightly swaying under the dim light in the room. It did not look like a real person, but more like a shadow. Not only did the sword light become bigger and bigger, it occupied most of Mengqi's sight. It was so cold that it made Mengqi's hair stand on end.

The Buddhist Commandment Blade chopped down, intending to cut the person and the sword together. But when the blade light passed through, the figure and the sword light were like flowers in a mirror or the moon in the water. They separated and disappeared in the air.

"Oh no!" Mengqi did not have time to think whether he was under the "illusion". He activated "Lightning Changes" and took a step forward. It looked like he was going backward, but he was actually moving sideways.

"Puff!"

The sound of a long sword piercing through rotten wood was heard. A stream of blood spurted out from Mengqi's left shoulder. The "gentleman on the beam" followed him like a shadow, and his sword never left his vital parts. As long as Mengqi pulled back his blade, no matter if it was to cut the person or block the long sword, it would be like hitting the "shadow" and directly passing through it.

If Mengqi's "Lightning Changes" were not good at dodging and unpredictable changes, he would have died under the sword. But even so, blood spurted out from his body, and sword wounds appeared one after another.

"Illusion?" Mengqi gritted his teeth and did not dare to relax the changes in his footsteps. "No matter what it is, what I see, what I hear, and what I smell will definitely 'point' to the shadow!"

"I can't delay any longer!"

If he continued to be injured like this, Mengqi knew that he could not hold on for long. So he made up his mind and suddenly a black tube appeared in his left hand. Its surface was flowing with a cold metallic luster.

The black shadow stabbed at him with the sword. Mengqi raised his left hand and aimed the black tube at him.

"Whether it's an illusion or something else, judging from the injury I just suffered, you are always not far from the shadow. The Buddhist Commandment Blade can't cut you, but this is the Pearflower Storm Needle, which is a wide-range attack!"

Mengqi's thumb pressed on the mechanism. The black shadow seemed to know the danger and suddenly retreated, directly smashing through the window and leaping into the yard outside. At the same time, the smashed window flew up strangely and blocked the Pearflower Storm Needle's path.

Meng Qi didn't press the button. Under such circumstances, it was better to hold back than to shoot directly. After all, he didn't know if there would be any similar enemies after shooting. On the other hand, if he didn't shoot, any hidden enemies would have to consider if they could block the Pearflower Storm Needles!

The window fell to the ground, and the shadow disappeared into the darkness outside. The people who had surrounded the wing room quietly returned to their own rooms. It was quiet.

Mengqi did not put the Pearflower Storm Needle in his pocket. Instead, he held it in his hand with his sleeve hanging down to slightly cover it.

He looked back and found that Jin Ancheng's mouth was wide open. His eyes were blank, and blood was flowing from his throat. He was dead.

Just now, when the black shadow's sword was aimed at his vital parts, he still had the strength to kill!

Mengqi's muscles wriggled and contracted the wounds, temporarily stopping the seven or eight sword wounds. Then he stepped in front of Fei Zhengqing. He saw that Fei Zhengqing's face was blank and his breath was heavy, but he was not dead.

"Mr. Ennea Monkey, what happened?" Fei Zhengqing asked in fear and confusion.

"Someone made a sneak attack and killed Jin Ancheng, but I forced him to retreat." Mengqi tried to pretend as if nothing had happened.

Fei Zhengqing had been sitting, so he vaguely saw the fight. But because Mengqi had his back to him, he did not see the Pearflower Storm Needle. He said with surprise and doubt, "Mr. Ennea Monkey, your Kung Fu is the best I've seen in my life, except for the few grandmasters. I'm afraid you are better than You Tongguang. But that person just now, he was so powerful that you could barely resist. How could this be, how could this be … Fortunately, you scared him away."

"That person's Kung Fu was strange. It was like an illusion. Every time I cut, I could only hit a shadow." Mengqi did not know much about the Kung Fu in this world, so he said it to Fei Zhengqing to see if he had any clues.

Fei Zhengqing's expression changed, "Did you see someone in front of you, but when you cut, it seemed to hit a shadow, and then you were stabbed by a long sword?"

"Do you know?" Mengqi asked in a low voice.

Fei Zhengqing's expression kept changing, and his breathing became rapid, "It must be the remaining evil of the Snow God Palace. It must be the remaining evil of the Snow God Palace! It's said that the Snow God Palace has a Transformation Strategy, which can change the sky and earth, and even the bridge between man and god. It is because of this magic skill that they are called the descendants of god. "

"That person must have completed the Transformation Strategy and was close to opening the Hidden Treasure. Today, he came to assassinate me!"

"Then I've saved Chief Constable Fei's life." Mengqi smiled. Suddenly, he jumped out of the window and disappeared in the yard. It was not safe to stay here for long!

After leaving the neighborhood, Mengqi touched the wound on his body, and the expression under the mask seemed to be thinking and sneering. Then he learned from Jin Ancheng, circling around and changing directions. After a quarter of an hour, he found a hidden place to change his night clothes and mask.

…

Dawn broke, and Wu Fengyu slowly woke up. He felt a splitting pain in the back of his head, and many people were pointing at him.

"Why is this person lying on the street with a knife …?"

"Could it be a vendetta between those gangs?"

"No, he only wore underwear. Was he thrown out of the brothel because he didn't have money to pay the bill?"

The words made him wake up, and his expression froze. Last night, last night, I went to kill people. How could I sleep on the street?
