As soon as Liu Mei's voice fell, the group of snakes boiled. The murderous intent was like a tsunami.
Facing the Liu family, Li Xianyu frowned. The aftereffects of Gluttony were too great. Without Great-grandmother around to suppress Slime, the consequences of activating Gluttony would be very dangerous. It was very likely that he would fall into an unrecoverable abyss.
However, this was his only chance. Liu Yao was here to help, so he couldn't let her die here.
Without a doubt, he had been tricked by someone tonight. Even if he knew, he would still jump in, let alone not knowing. He couldn't play around with Ice Flake's life.
Although his sister often taught him and even wanted to put a collar on him in middle school, no matter how bad her personality was, she was still his sister.
"Be merciful with your words, be merciful with your words … We're all civilized people, let's talk things out."
In the nick of time, a drunken man walked in through the collapsed door. He held a bottle of wine in his hand, and the bright yellow liquid flowed out of the bottle.
The small snakes that blocked the way all backed away. They seemed to hate this kind of wine. The snake that was more stubborn and refused to retreat was kicked away by him.
"Wu Xin, who are you talking to?" A giant python with a golden body roared.
The other pythons tilted their heads and stared at Comrade Wu silently. The vertical pupils of snakes had a natural cold BUFF. If a normal person was stared at by a giant python of this size, they would be scared out of their wits.
"I haven't used this name for many years. Every time I hear it, it reminds me of my shameful past." Minister Wu shrugged and drank the realgar wine in the bottle. "You wanted to kill the people of Bosch. I know you all say that I'm a useless minister, but I'm still a minister. You didn't even give me an explanation and killed my people. Do you think I don't care about my reputation? "
Liu Mei said lightly, "You killed the head of the Liu family. That's enough, right?"
Minister Wu Sanjin clicked his tongue and didn't answer. Instead, he flashed and appeared next to Li Xianyu by the floor-to-ceiling window on the fourth floor.
Li Xianyu heaved a sigh of relief. "I thought you would back down."
Wu Sanjin's eyes scanned the study. He walked to the wall and pulled out a bottle of whiskey from the wine cabinet under Liu Tong's snake body. He twisted open the cap and placed it on his nose. He took a deep breath in enjoyment. "Before the executioners from the headquarters arrive, I will have to take on some of the responsibilities of a department head."
He kicked the ferocious snake's head hard. "Old Liu, how did you get killed all of a sudden?"
"Everyone!" Minister Wu came to the window and walked like a third-rate cowboy. "I came alone, and that is the greatest sincerity. Do you want to make a move in anger and completely break off relations with Bosch, or do you want to sit down and talk things out? Make your choice. "
.....
Half an hour later, in the hall of a certain villa.
"Someone used this nail to seal Liu Tong's seven inches and killed him in one blow. According to Li Xianyu and Liu Yao, there were no signs of fighting in the study. Of course, they are still suspects at the moment, so the credibility of their words may not be very high. "Minister Wu lazily lay on the soft sofa, took a sip of wine, and said.
"Uncle, you are the first person to receive them."
The elderly uncle sat on the long sofa opposite them and nodded.
There were two people and eight snakes gathered in the hall. Six of them were the most powerful members of the Liu family in Nine Pots Mountain. Each of them was a senior staff member. The most powerful one was the brown-scaled white-bellied giant python, Liu Shan. He was second only to the family head, Liu Tong. He was a middle-aged man with a serious face.
"You said that after you heard the noise, you went upstairs to check and found that Liu Tong was already dead. From the time they went upstairs to the time you heard the noise, it was only a few minutes," Minister Wu said.
"Yes." The uncle's voice was hoarse.
"If they were the culprits, everyone here knows how powerful Liu Tong is. Do you think they could have killed Liu Tong in a few minutes?"
Liu Mei crossed her legs, her left hand holding her heavy chest, and her right index finger playing with her hair. She said in a low voice, "The family head was ambushed from behind, and a sharp weapon pierced his seven inches. After he died, he didn't even have the chance to transform. Therefore, the person who ambushed him should be the family head's closest confidant. "
Minister Wu snapped his fingers. "As expected of the intelligent Sheji. She likes to talk to highly intelligent snakes like you."
Li Xianyu and Liu Yao listened and remained silent. They had not been cleared of suspicion yet, so they could not express their opinions. Otherwise, he could use his mouth to bluff the snakes.
Liu Mei leaned forward and picked up the bronze nail on the table. She looked at it carefully. "This nail is the only valuable clue."
Everyone's gaze fell on the nail. Ignoring the rookie Li Xianyu, the others did not even know who it was.
In the silence, Wu Sanjin said lightly, "It belongs to the Wu family."
The eight snakes all looked at him. Liu Mei raised her eyebrows. "Minister Wu, do you know what you're talking about?"
Wu Sanjin was expressionless. "When I was young, I saw the spell on one of the books in the family library. I don't know if it was done by the Wu family, but it does belong to the Wu family."
Liu Shan slammed the table and shouted angrily, "Big brother was killed by the Wu family, is that what you mean? Everyone, let's kill the Wu family and avenge big brother. "
Other than Liu Mei, the other four members of the Liu family agreed. "Let's kill the Wu family and avenge big brother."
"Don't worry." Liu Mei's words silenced everyone. She stared at the bronze nail and then at Wu Sanjin. "Uncles, the nail belongs to the Wu family, but they can't enter Nine Hu Mountain. We still have a spy."
Li Xianyu said, "Why don't we just ask the snakes in the villa who came to the villa before I came here?"
She made a phone call. A few minutes later, a seductive woman with a slender waist came in and whispered a few words in her ear.
"No one entered the bungalow." Liu Mei said.
"How is that possible!" Li Xianyu's eyes widened.
"These little things can't be used as evidence. Everyone here, if you want to enter the bungalow silently, there are many ways. The snakes might not be able to detect you." Minister Wu expressed his opinion.
"Maybe we can solve the problem from another angle." Liu Yao suddenly said. When everyone looked at her, she said, "Since we can't find any valuable clues here, can we start from the person who kidnapped Li Xianyu's sister?"
A master from the Liu family frowned. "What do you mean?"
Liu Yao had a look of disdain on her face as if she didn't want to talk to her own kind with low intelligence. She turned to look at Li Xianyu.
"Why are you looking at me? My phone was crushed by this woman. Motherf * cker, seven thousand yuan for one phone," Li Xianyu said grumpily.
Liu Yao took out her phone and passed it to him.
Li Xianyu keyed in the number of the ice man and dialed. After a few rings, his call was picked up. "What's up?"
"Sister, are you asleep?" Li Xianyu's voice unconsciously carried a bit of flattery.
"Just say it." The ice man was as straightforward as ever.
"Where did you go last night?"
"To eat."
"Apart from eating? Did you meet any strange people? "
"No."
"Where did you eat?"
"Master Lu's seafood noodles."
Liu Shan said impatiently, "What do you want to say?"
Li Xianyu didn't answer. He turned to Wu Sanjin and said, "Old Wu, can you ask someone to check the surveillance cameras of Master Lu's seafood noodles?"
Wu Sanjin thought about it and understood. He stood up and said, "I'll go out and make a phone call."
Li Xianyu explained, "I did receive a text message that my sister was kidnapped. On the way here, I kept calling her, but her phone was always turned off. Although I don't know why Liu Mei picked up as soon as I called, I really couldn't get through. You may still be suspicious of me. I won't explain. We just need to see what happened to my sister through the surveillance cameras. You will naturally believe what I said. "
Liu Shan snorted and said, "Who knows if your sister is cooperating with you to put on a show. You said during the day that you wanted to catch the Demon Alliance in one fell swoop."
"That's right." The snakes all agreed.
Then, invisible murderous intent began to spread in the hall again.
Tsk, were these snakes relatives of Brother Flattop? They started fighting without saying a word. Fortunately, with Liu Mei's suppression, this snake sister with a genetic mutation of IQ was still rational and suppressed the anger of her uncles.
Minister Wu returned after making the phone call. After waiting for about half an hour, he received a text message. He said, "Let me use the computer."
Liu Mei immediately asked someone to send the computer over.
Minister Wu logged into his private email. A few minutes ago, a video email arrived. It was a surveillance video edited from the "Master Lu Seafood Noodles" noodle restaurant.
Minister Wu clicked on the video and turned the laptop screen to everyone.
The video began with a beautiful, aloof beauty entering the noodle shop. She ordered a variety of seafood toppings for three people and ate the noodles elegantly and quietly. Not long after, the man wearing a cap entered the shop and went straight to the aloof beauty.
After the man with the cap sat down, he looked back at the surveillance camera. He was wearing a mask, so his face could not be seen.
The two of them said something. Then, he picked up the phone that the aloof beauty had placed on the table and fiddled with it for a while. Then, he turned around and left.
"Go back," Liu Mei said.
Minister Wu pressed the fast back button. Liu Mei said again, "Stop!"
In the video, the man sat down. After he said a few words to Ice Slag, he took off his mask. If the surveillance camera was on the opposite side, then they would be able to see the man's face. This was not what Liu Mei wanted to see. She pointed at the video and said, "Look carefully. What is this technique?"
In the video, after the man took off his mask, he snapped his fingers. Everyone clearly saw that the aloof beauty suddenly froze and her eyes became empty. Because of the surveillance equipment, the video quality was not high. Ice Slag also had facial paralysis all year round. If one did not look carefully, it was easy to miss this detail.
"The Hu family's charm!" Liu Shan gritted his teeth.
Just like the Huang family's primordial spirit, the five major mutant families in the northeast all had their own distinctive characteristics.
Li Xianyu turned his head to look at Minister Wu. The latter nodded and gave an affirmative answer.
"Damn, so it's the Hu family."
"It's the Hu family and the Wu family's fox man. They're targeting the Liu family."
"Immediately gather all the Liu family members in the northeast. We will fight the Hu family and the Wu family to the death."
The Liu family's temper rose again. At this moment, it was as if they were possessed by a flattop.
"I will personally go to the Wu family and the Hu family and ask them for an explanation. However, before the truth comes to light, the heir of the Li family is still a suspect. So, please don't leave the northeast during this period." Liu Mei smiled. "Is that okay?"
Li Xianyu nodded slightly.
"Then, according to the rules, Bao Ze will not interfere in the personal grudges of the Bloodline Realm. He will not be biased or cause a ruckus. However, our employees are involved, so the headquarters will send a few colleagues to help investigate this matter, "Minister Wu said.
Li Xianyu could not help but look at him. He could guess who the colleagues Minister Wu was referring to. Logically speaking, wouldn't it be better to get him out of this mess?
Did Minister Wu know that he had accepted a secret mission?
"If there's nothing else, I'll be leaving." Minister Wu signaled for Liu Yao and Li Xianyu to follow him. When he reached the door, he suddenly thought of something and turned around. He said in a negotiating tone, "I'm very saddened by Liu Tong's death, but a dead snake can't come back to life … What I mean is, since it's already dead, can you hand its corpse over to me?"
Liu Mei frowned. "Of course not."
Minister Wu swallowed his saliva and showed a greedy expression. "Then can you give me the gallbladder? I'll take it home and make it into wine."
"Get lost!"
"Fine, don't be stingy," Wu Sanjin mumbled. Seeing that the snakes in the house were about to go berserk, he quickly slipped away.
He left the villa and came to the car. He threw a cigarette to Li Xianyu.
The night was dark, and the moon was covered by dark clouds. A thunderstorm was about to arrive.
Minister Wu lit the cigarette and exhaled a mouthful of smoke. He looked at the dark sky and said, "It seems like the storm tonight is not small."
In a trance, Li Xianyu felt as if he could see a hint of profoundness in this useless department head.
"Minister Wu, do you have any ideas?"
