Volume 3 Mystery in the Picture Chapter 148: Assassination of Shopkeeper Zhou
With this layout, the target has basically been determined, so the detective brothers are very serious and hardworking.
After working as a yamen officer for so many years, the detective brothers have obviously done a lot of things like spying on people secretly. They are really experienced.
Even someone as powerful as Ye Zhenzhen didn't realize that she was being watched.
In the evening of that day, Ye Zhenzhen left the Yuli Garden.
The detective brothers stationed here quickly reported the news to Hang Tianyi.
Hang Tianyi went straight to Zuixian Tower without any hesitation.
No need to think too much, at this time, Ye Zhenzhen must have gone to Zhou Kui to discuss cooperation matters.
In this way, it can be fully proved that the fourth Five Beauties Picture is indeed in Ye Zhenzhen's hands.
Now Hang Tianyi has two ideas. One is to get the five beautiful pictures from Ye Zhenzhen's hands to prove that Zheng Tong and Zhu Liu were killed by her. Find the five beautiful pictures from Ye Zhenzhen and put them together.
Apprehended and brought to justice.
Another idea is to let Ye Zhenzhen and Zhou Kui cooperate to see what secrets there are between them.
Hang Tianyi feels that this secret will definitely be very explosive.
So without much thought, Hang Tianyi directly chose the second one.
The business of Zuixianlou is even better in the evening. The guys are so busy that they don't have any spare time.
But the guys also hope that the restaurant's business will be so good every day.
Zhou Kui is really good at doing business. When business is good, he gives more rewards to his subordinates. This not only makes his subordinates feel a sense of belonging to Zuixian Tower, but also makes them work for him wholeheartedly.
Obviously, Zhou Kui is a person who knows how to control people's hearts.
In the past, Zhou Kui would have been busy in the restaurant at this time.
But today, he was sitting in the room with Ye Zhenzhen.
Zhou Kui was not surprised at Ye Zhenzhen's arrival because he knew that Ye Zhenzhen would definitely come.
"Shopkeeper Zhou, let's cooperate!" Ye Zhenzhen said.
Zhou Kui smiled indifferently and said: "If you want to get the secret of the fourth beauty picture from my hand, you need something of equal value. You are all businessmen. I guess this truth needs no further explanation, right?"
Ye Zhenzhen nodded: "This is natural!"
"Does the fourth picture of beauty really belong to you?" Zhou Kui asked.
Ye Zhenzhen was noncommittal and smiled lightly, but all this had already explained the problem.
"Master Ye is worthy of being Master Ye. If I hadn't seen the fourth picture of beauty, do you think I would tell you the secret in the fourth picture?" Zhou Kui said calmly.
Ye Zhenzhen called out to the old fox in her heart and said with a smile: "Okay, let's make an appointment to meet somewhere tomorrow!"
"How about staying at Zuixian Tower?" Zhou Kui said with a smile.
Ye Zhenzhen snorted: "How about in Jade Pear Garden?"
Zhou Kui gave a quick laugh. It was obvious that they didn't trust each other, so they had no choice but to choose another location.
"See you at Minghu Lake tomorrow at noon?" Ye Zhenzhen said.
Zhou Kui nodded and agreed: "Okay!"
Minghu Lake is a lake ten miles away from the capital. It is also one of the famous scenic spots near the capital. It is a place where young men and young ladies from noble families fall in love.
This place, in Hang Tianyi's mind, can be called Love Lake.
It's not that Hang Tianyi chose the name randomly, but it was influenced by some things on the earth in his previous life, especially in the university, there are such things as Lover's Slope and Love Mountain.
Obviously, this kind of place is a place for couples to go on dates.
In fact, the biggest feature near the university is the degenerate street. It seems that every school has such a street.
Well, Hang Tianyi is not here. He actually doesn't know what Zhou Kui and Ye Zhenzhen were talking about at this time.
When I arrived at Zuixian Tower, I happened to see Ye Zhenzhen coming out from a distance.
Hang Tianyi was smarter. He guessed that these two old foxes would not reach a cooperation agreement, so he ordered his men to continue to monitor Zuixian Tower and Yuli Garden.
After Ye Zhenzhen left, Zhou Kui continued his calculations. A lot of money came in every day, so his life was certainly enjoyable.
"Check out!" A voice sounded, and Zhou Kui raised his head as usual.
But at this moment, a cold light shot out and came straight to Zhou Kui's face.
Zhou Kui is also a great master. In this life-and-death crisis, his Xuan Gong was activated and his clothes suddenly started to flutter.
There was an ear-splitting sound, and the person paying the bill flew out in an instant, smashing the tables and benches behind him.
For a moment, all the guests in Zuixian Tower were shocked.
Of course, many of the people here are experts.
But at this time, it is obvious that I will not take a trip into this muddy water.
In addition, everyone continues to be shocked by Zhou Kui's cultivation.
Yuantai realm is definitely a realm that can be called a master. Among a thousand people, there are probably less than fifty people.
But this week, Zhou Kui turned out to be one of them.
"Who are you and why do you want to kill me?" Zhou Kui's expression was indifferent, and there was no trace of sadness or joy. Every move he made seemed to increase his momentum.
At this time, the entire Zuixian Tower was filled with that incomparable power.
The man stood up, his face was very pale, but he didn't say a word, and struck out again with the long sword in his hand.
In the void, there was a sudden chi chi sound.
I have to say that this person is indeed very impressive, but in terms of cultivation, he is much weaker than Zhou Kui.
Faced with such a fierce move, Zhou Kui simply struck out with a palm.
When the strength and sword light met, there was a sudden crisp sound, and the man's long sword suddenly broke into several pieces.
Not only that, one of them also stabbed his chest.
At this time, something unexpected happened to Zhou Kui. This man was not afraid of death and directly attached the broken sword tip.
Under the blessing of powerful force, the man's body was suddenly penetrated, moved on the ground a few times, and then lost his life.
Zhou Kui's frown deepened. He originally wanted to keep this man alive and ask him who the main envoy behind him was.
Now it seems that there is no such chance!
Is it Ye Zhenzhen? Zhou Kui shook his head slightly. Ye Zhenzhen would not kill him until he got the secret of the fourth picture.
There is only one explanation for this. The person who gave Wu Qiming the secret knew everything about him, and now he wants to kill someone and silence him.
But what are the people behind this trying to do?
For a moment, Zhou Kui couldn't figure out the key to this.
The police officers who were here did not know what was going on in the restaurant, and they did not know what was going on in the restaurant until the people came out of the restaurant.
This was an assassination case in full view of the public. Zhou Kui couldn't hide the murder of the killer at all. Under the rule of the emperor, reporting the crime was a must.
Tonight, Hang Tianyi happened to not go home yet.
When people from Zuixian Tower came to report the case, Hang Tianyi was surprised that someone actually wanted to assassinate Zhou Kui.
After thinking for a moment, Hang Tianyi and Zhou Kui had the same idea. Now Hang Tianyi is more interested in the person behind the secret who told Wu Qiming than anyone else.
