Chapter 731

Meng Qi looked around the casino. The lights were bright and red. Every face was illuminated with greed. Some were excited, some were agitated, some were disappointed, and some were in pain. The sounds of dice, pai gow, and mahjong were no different from before.

This made Mengqi feel like he had a dream. He dreamed of an assassination, but woke up without a trace. He was still in the casino.

Mengqi had never seen an assassin's ability to hide his breath and killing intent. When he didn't make a move, he was no different from an ordinary person.

"I was discovered by Qiu Fei. Did he lure me to a crowded place like the casino to assassinate me?"

"But with his strength of Half-step Exterior Scenery, he would be more confident if he took me to a secluded place outside the city and killed me himself."

"Or did the person he wanted to meet specially send an assassin to help him find and eliminate the stalker?"

Thoughts flashed through Mengqi's mind. His right hand grasping the hilt of his saber, he slowly walked through the crowd and arrived at the entrance of the private room.

It was much quieter here. There were many courtyards, which were convenient for people of status to have fun. Mengqi had lost track of Qiu Fei, but he couldn't inquire in every private room. That would easily provoke people he shouldn't provoke. He could only hide at the entrance of the courtyard and wait for the dealer and the maid to come out. He used the Transformation Strategy mixed with a little "Supernatural Power of Shaking Heaven and Hitting Earth" to inquire.

"I've never seen this person …"

"The private room I'm in charge of doesn't have …"

"There were no new customers just now …"

The answers made Mengqi confused. He clearly saw Qiu Fei walk to the private room. Where did he go?

After searching for a while, Mengqi finally confirmed that he had lost Qiu Fei. He was more inclined to believe that the assassin's purpose was to obstruct or eliminate the person following Qiu Fei.

"But there's no need to use such a strong assassin to do chores …" With such doubts, Mengqi left the Skyfirst No.1 Casino and returned to his rented courtyard.

Because of the assassin, he projected his Will-projecting and opened the door cautiously to prevent an ambush.

The courtyard door opened with a squeak. Mengqi's pupils contracted violently.

In the middle of the courtyard, there was something that hadn't been there before he left.

It was a coffin!

It was a pitch-black coffin!

The dim moonlight spilled down and flowed through the black coffin, bringing with it an indescribable gloominess.

"Someone sent me a coffin …" Mengqi was both shocked and angry. He unsheathed Heaven Inflicted Pain and slowly approached the coffin.

He suppressed his emotions and reflected the surroundings. There was no vitality in the coffin. There was no sense of flesh, so it didn't seem to be an ambush.

Meng Qi flicked Heaven Inflicted Pain and the lid of the coffin fell to the side. It was empty except for a small wooden carving.

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

The paper had four words:

"Su Meng Killing Qi.

"Killing Qi" Meng. Sect Qi, Qi, he, Qi. Yang, he, and he. "He, by it, he. Qi.., he" Qi. "," Tian Heaven, "he said.

He believed that Qing Yu would not resort to such despicable means even if he were to do so. This was because the Black Heaven Sect's reputation would be tarnished if word of this got out. Why would the orthodoxy of the Celestial Emperor be so shameless?

"Yu"? ".....

"Who did it?"

"What do they want?"

Meng Qi was not a nice guy who would be bullied into his house but would be nice to him. After searching the yard carefully and finding no clues, he put away the wooden carving and the note and knocked on the door of his neighbor's house.

After a while, the next-door neighbor came out with a coat on. He looked sleepy and yawned. Through the gap of the door, he peeked his head out to look at the outside, just in case the robbers came.

"Sir, I have something to ask you," Meng Qi said straightforwardly. He had already removed the transformation of the Eight Nine Mysteries and washed his face.

The old man was shocked. He opened the door and asked, half curious and half worried, "Master Su, are you asking about the coffin in the yard?"

"Yes," Mengqi nodded.

The old man moved his lips. "Master Su, someone sent you a coffin soon after you left. Because you were not at home, they asked Old Ye to open the door. He said you bought it yourself. Old Ye thought you were going to challenge a master, so you prepared a coffin for yourself. That's why he opened the door to let them in. "

Old Ye was the landlord.

"Do you know who sent it?" Mengqi asked with a frown.

The neighbor shook his head. "They were two strangers. They looked like workers from the coffin shop, but I'm sure they are not from around here."

"Coffin shop … They must have been entrusted by someone." Mengqi was very confident in his spiritual skills. As long as he found the coffin shop, he could ask the workers and the shopkeeper about the appearance of the person who bought the coffin.

"Did they have any special appearance?" Mengqi asked.

The neighbor thought carefully and suddenly said, "One of them had a black mole at the corner of his mouth. It was very conspicuous."

After asking a few more questions, Mengqi thanked him sincerely. He turned around and left the door, thinking of a solution.

"Carrying a coffin through the market in the middle of the night. Maoling is not a curfew area. Many drunkards and gamblers came back at night. Plus the night watchmen, many people must have seen them!" Without further ado, Mengqi decided to investigate immediately.

After calculating the time, Mengqi decided to look for the group of night watchmen who were nearby at that time.

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

"I remember that coffin very clearly. Who wouldn't be afraid to see a coffin in the middle of the night?" Recalling the scene, the old night watchman was still a little scared. Even though it was far away, it had left a deep impression on him. He thought it was a zombie.

Mengqi was delighted. There was a clue!

"Sir, did you see which street they came from? Do you know which coffin shop they are from? "He restrained his joy.

The other night watchman thought about it and said in an uncertain tone, "They came from North Street. There seems to be only one coffin shop nearby."

Mengqi was refreshed. He asked for the specific location of the coffin shop and rushed there at night.

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

Without delay, Mengqi climbed over the wall and landed in the yard, planning to "question" them one by one.

Suddenly, he smelled a bloody smell. His heart tightened and he followed the smell to the back door of the shop.

The door was not closed. It was half-open. With a gentle push from Mengqi, it fell to the wall.

He stepped in carefully. The first thing that came into view were black coffins. They were neatly placed there, strange and gloomy.

He took a deep breath and filtered the smell through his nostrils to identify the source of the bloody smell.

Step by step, Mengqi walked to a coffin. With "Heaven Inflicted Pain" ready and "Meridian" extended, he lifted the coffin lid.

The lid slid down, revealing the situation inside the coffin.

There was a man lying inside with his eyes wide open, a dead man with a face full of terror!

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

Cause of death: a sword in the mid-brows.

"They were silenced …" Meng Qi frowned, feeling more and more confused about the matter.

According to the source of the bloody smell, Mengqi opened two more coffins. There were also two dead men lying inside. One was dressed like a waiter, and the other was dressed better. He must be the shopkeeper. Both of them had a sword in the mid-brows.

The sword was sharp and the wound was deep and narrow. He must be an expert swordsman … Mengqi judged the characteristics of the murderer's Kung Fu from the wound, but there was no other trace except for the mid-brows wound.

He turned to search the counter and found that the account book had been burned to ashes. There was no purchase record left.

"Is this the end of the trail?" Mengqi clenched his teeth and squatted down to examine the body again. He was making a last effort.

Huh? Mengqi suddenly felt something was wrong. The two waiter's mouths were half open, and their faces were full of horror. Only the shopkeeper's face was full of horror, but his lips were tightly closed.

Mengqi gently pulled the shopkeeper's mouth open and found a ball of paper in his mouth!

The surface of the paper was soaked with saliva. It took Mengqi a lot of effort to unfold it, and he found that it was part of the account book. It seemed that the shopkeeper had misremembered the amount of silver when he made the account book for the first time. He was too lazy to correct it, so he tore it off, rolled it into a ball, and threw it away. Later, he somehow picked it up and stuffed it into his mouth.

Mengqi could almost imagine the scene in his mind. One waiter was killed, and the other one tried to escape and call for help. The shopkeeper was so strong that he couldn't escape. He was so scared that he collapsed on the ground beside the dustpan. Seeing the ball of paper, he secretly stuffed the ball of paper into his mouth and closed it tightly.

The record on the ball of paper was blurred, but Mengqi could barely make out part of it.

"… Flower-viewing Garden … Jiang Tabo … ordered a nanmu coffin … sent to …"

"Flower-viewing Garden … Jiang Tabo …" Mengqi repeated. He took back the ball of paper and erased his traces. Then he left the shop and went straight to Flower-viewing Garden, which was a famous inn in Maoling.

Before long, Mengqi sneaked into the Flower-viewing Garden. He "asked" a waiter and learned that Jiang Tabo lived in the Breeze Villa. A few days ago, he came here alone, but people from the martial arts world often visited him.

Mengqi was bold and skillful. He covered his body with his spirit and turned himself into a Hallucination Demon. Then he directly jumped into the Breeze Villa.

He sensed no breath in the wing room.

"Has Jiang Tabo escaped?"

Mengqi carefully opened the window and jumped in. Before he landed, he saw the scene in the room clearly.

A young man was sitting on the ground with his back against the bed. His eyes were wide open and full of horror. There was a long knife wound between his chest and abdomen!

He had the iconic slanted eyes and broom-like eyebrows, which totally matched the image of Jiang Tabo described by the waiter!

"Has he been killed too?" Mengqi sensed the abnormality at once.

The knife wound was scorched black as if it had been struck by lightning, which erased the blood. That was why Mengqi didn't smell it from outside.

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

An idea occurred to Mengqi. He turned around and jumped out of the window, planning to leave this place first.

Just then, with a crisp sound, a stone flew in from outside the courtyard and hit the steps. The sound was not loud, but it echoed far away in the quiet night.

Mengqi's spirit, Qi, and essence rose to the peak in an instant. He tried to swing the knife at the place where the stone came from.

A figure rushed in from outside. After seeing the stranger, he immediately stopped Mengqi.

He was a young man with dark skin and conspicuous eyebrows. Dressed in ordinary clothes, he looked like a farmer. His behavior complemented the surrounding environment.

The young man had very good eyesight. Through the open window, he saw the dead body beside the bed. His face suddenly became gloomy with uncontrollable anger and hatred.
