Chapter 25: Wujiantang Ten Days and Three Killings
At this moment, the waiter's expression was ice-cold, all his previous attentive smiles disappeared, and the dagger in his hand flashed with a chilling light.
Faced with this sudden attack, Fang Xun seemed to be frightened. He stood there motionless, and even his expression did not change.
But the next moment, the waiter's cold expression suddenly changed. When the dagger pierced through the rag and then stabbed towards Fang Xun, it actually went straight through the other person's body without a trace of blood splashing.
"It's an afterimage! !"
As soon as this thought came to his mind, the waiter suddenly felt someone tapping his back seven times in a row. All seven acupoints were tapped in an instant, and his whole body suddenly became stiff and he couldn't move at all.
Then Fang Xun's voice came from behind: "Who hired you to kill me?"
At this moment, the waiter's eyes were full of horror, but the other party had come behind him like a ghost without him knowing when, leaving only a residual shadow.
During the whole process, his eyes never left Fang Xun, but he was completely unaware of it!
At this time, Fang Xun slowly walked to the front of the waiter. After being acupunctured by him, the other party was like a sculpture, and he still maintained the posture of stabbing forward with the dagger in his hand.
Fang Xun looked at the killer disguised as a waiter and said slowly: "I didn't press your mute point, why don't you answer my question?"
Upon hearing this, the waiter's eyes returned to indifference, as if he had made up his mind not to say a word.
Fang Xun frowned. The other party seemed to be a determined warrior, and it would be very difficult to force a confession from him.
But the next moment, a trace of black blood suddenly flowed from the corner of the waiter's mouth, the smell of blood quickly spread, and the lifeless body fell to the ground with a bang.
'Fuck, he's got poison between his teeth!'
Fang Xun's face changed and he quickly walked to the body, preparing to look for clues.
Immediately, the door of a room on the second floor was opened with a bang, and Yan Ming and his group, who heard the noise, rushed out one after another.
When he saw Fang Xun and the corpse of the waiter on the ground, his face changed immediately and he quickly walked to his side.
"Xun brother, what's going on?!"
"Isn't this Xiao Zhang? What happened to him?"
"The blood is black, as if it was poisoned!"
Listening to the detectives' chattering, Fang Xun was about to say something, but immediately a burst of hurried footsteps reached his ears from the stairs not far away.
It immediately attracted the attention of Fang Xun, Yan Ming and others.
Dengdengdeng-
Accompanied by the sound of footsteps, they saw the bearded man and the gentleman whom Fang Xun had just met quickly rushing up to the second floor.
In an instant, Fang Xun's heart was filled with alertness, ready to attack with all his strength at any time.
Yan Ming and the other detectives instinctively formed two Big Dipper positions, forming two spoon shapes and clamping around the stairs.
The bearded and gentle man who had just walked up to the second floor was stunned for a moment, then stopped immediately. Seeing the situation on the other side, he realized that it was a misunderstanding and quickly explained.
"Please don't misunderstand me. We just came here because we smelled blood."
But the detectives remained unmoved, and Fang Xun said calmly: "My name is Fang Xun, and my master is Wei Lin. I have not asked for your names yet."
After hearing this, the bearded man and the gentle man's expressions immediately changed.
The gentleman said quickly, "So you are the disciple of Master Wei, the Iron Hand Detective. I am Zhang Wancheng from Fushui County, and this is my brother Duan Xi."
As he spoke, he saw that the people on the opposite side were still looking as if they were facing a formidable enemy, so he quickly took out a letter and said.
"Don't get me wrong. The two of us are not the same kind of people as the guy lying on the ground. Young Master Fang will know after reading this letter."
Then he threw the letter over. The force of this throw was not strong, it just slowly floated towards Fang Xun.
But Fang Xun did not pick it up. Instead, he dodged to the side and let the envelope float to the ground.
Duan Xi, a bearded man, looked unhappy when he saw this and said angrily, "You are so ignorant! Do you suspect that my brother Zhang has poisoned the envelope?"
Fang Xun did not deny it, but said calmly: "Please forgive me, I was poisoned on the first floor and attacked on the second floor, so I am a little sensitive now."
He didn't touch a single peanut from the dish of vinegar on the first floor just now, not only because he didn't like vinegar or cold dishes, but also because it was poisonous!
Duan Xi was choked immediately, and Zhang Wancheng on the side laughed awkwardly and said: "Haha, you should not have the intention to harm others, but you must be on guard against others. I understand, I understand." Then Fang Xun looked at the envelope on the ground and saw that the sender was actually signed by Yue Shan.
He was startled at once, and immediately asked the two, "What is your relationship with Senior Yue?"
Duan Xi had a sullen face and didn't answer, so it was Zhang Wancheng who spoke first.
"A few days ago, Brother Yueshan sent a letter to invite my brother and me to go to Menghu Mountain together. Now he and Old Master Wei have gone ahead. In the letter, we agreed to meet at Lujiazhuang in Qingquangang tomorrow."
After hearing this, Fang Xun picked up the letter on the ground, opened it and quickly read it.
After reading the letter, he quickly walked up to Zhang Wancheng and Duan Xi, bowed and said apologetically, "I apologize for neglecting you two just now. I would like to say hello to you on behalf of my master."
The letter indeed contained what Zhang Wancheng had said, that it was Yue Shan who invited them to go to Menghu Mountain together.
After hearing this, the group of detectives from Yanming breathed a sigh of relief and relaxed instantly. Duan Xi's expression also eased.
At this time, Zhang Wancheng pointed at the waiter's body on the ground and said, "Young Master Fang, why don't you take a look at the killer first? Maybe there are some clues left?"
Fang Xun nodded after hearing this, squatted down and fumbled with the corpse, and soon took out a porcelain bottle, a black token and dozens of copper coins.
Then Fang Xun put his right hand on his cheek and groped for a while, and immediately with a tearing sound, he tore off a human skin mask.
This killer was at the twelfth level of the acquired realm, and his disguise was very good, even his murderous aura was perfectly concealed.
If Fang Xun had not inherited Ping Yizhi's superb medical skills and done a lot of research, he would not have discovered that the old vinegar peanuts were poisonous, but he would not have noticed anything unusual.
This killer had obviously undergone rigorous training.
Fang Xun quickly checked the porcelain bottle and token he had found. The porcelain bottle was a bottle of poison, and there were only two big words "Wu Jian" on the black token.
After seeing these two words, the expressions of everyone at the scene changed instantly.
Fang Xun also had an unpleasant expression on his face.
"Wu Jian Tang? Someone has placed an order to kill me?"
Wujiantang, one of the thirty-six eight demons, is a killer organization with business all over the world. It claims that as long as the money is paid, anyone at the top of the Heavenly List can be killed.
Zhang Wancheng's expression changed as well, and he immediately asked Fang Xun, "Is this your first time being assassinated?"
Fang Xun frowned and nodded: "Yes, this is the first one. There should be two more in the next ten days."
At this time, Duan Xi on the side was no longer silent and spoke.
"I have also heard of the Wujian Hall's rule of three kills in ten days. Why don't you join us on the road to Zhujiazhuang to meet up with your master, so that we can protect you."
Three kills in ten days means that Wujiantang will only make three moves on each order, and the longest time is ten days.
As long as the target survives three assassination attempts or more than ten days have passed, Wujiantang will not attack the target again unless someone places a new order.
Duan Xi's meaning was very clear. He wanted Fang Xun to go on the road with them and ride at full speed so that they could reach Lujiazhuang, which was more than 600 miles away, in less than a day.
By then, Fang Xun will have the protection of many innate masters, so he won't have to worry about his safety as long as the attack is not from a master above the innate level.
A killer above Xiantian's level cannot be hired with ordinary wealth, and Fang Xun is also very sure that he has never made enemies with such a rich man.
However, in the face of Duan Xi's kindness, Fang Xun politely refused.
"I appreciate your kindness, but there's no need to bother you with this little matter. I can handle the next two assassins myself!"
Duan Xi's face suddenly changed, and he snorted angrily, "He really doesn't know how to live or die! Brother Zhang, let's go, and ignore this arrogant boy!"
After saying that, he flicked his sleeves and went downstairs.
Zhang Wancheng looked at Fang Xun with displeasure and wanted to say something, but when he saw Duan Xi had already gone downstairs, he finally shook his head and followed him downstairs.
Fang Xun looked at the two people's backs as they walked down the stairs, and his eyes became deep.
'There seems to be something wrong with these two guys!'
