Chapter 92: Kill!
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
The alley wasn’t spacious. The three of them squeezed in back-to-back, and it was obvious that they couldn’t use their martial arts skills. However, the three of them were veterans at spying. Although they were shocked by how quickly Lu Ze disappeared, they immediately became vigilant and nervous.
However, even so, when the short knife that had suddenly appeared in front of him drew blood on his neck, the man closest to him was terrified, but he did not even have the time to scream before Lu Ze’s eyes turned to him.
He was immediately killed.
Lu Ze moved very quickly. In the blink of an eye, only one of the three people who came in was still standing.
“No, it’s not…”
His hand that was gripping the wall was trembling. The smell of blood filled his nose, and he felt the chill of the short knife on his neck.
“Those northern barbarians forced me to do it! I really don’t know anything about it!”
The man was already sobbing as he pleaded with him. The blood that flowed down his thigh made the despair in his eyes deepen. “I have a family. I had no choice!
“I just accompanied them here to keep an eye on you guys. I was just following you guys!”
“The two people on the ground are your employers?!” Lu Ze’s cold voice sounded in the man’s ears with killing intent.
“Yes. They gave me five taels of silver to stalk you with them. They said that you have something they want. They asked us to steal it from your basket!”
The man cried miserably. He was just an ordinary casino guard!
Because he had interacted with those northern merchants in the casino and knew the northern barbarian language, someone offered him ten taels of silver for a task!
He originally thought that they were just two ordinary refugees, but who would have thought…
He was actually so murderous!
“I have elders and children at home. My family is still waiting for me to provide for them! Sir, please forgive me this time! Don’t worry, I’ll definitely keep my mouth shut about today’s matter and I definitely won’t leak it…”
Before the man could finish speaking, he felt a chill on his neck. The feeling of air rushing into his body stopped him. He fell to the ground like a deflated balloon…
Lu Ze quickly took a few steps back to avoid the blood flowing on the ground.
He glanced at the corpse on the ground coldly and turned to pick up the basket on the ground. He found a way out on the other side of the alley and quickly left.
Lu Ze walked around outside and returned to the restaurant through the back door. Naturally, he didn’t alarm the guy who was guarding the door.
“Are you alright?!”
Although Lu Ze was already very careful, the moment he entered, Lin Suisui still keenly smelled the smell of blood on him.
Her expression changed slightly. She pulled him into the room nervously and closed the door as she asked about it.
Lu Ze shook his head gently and explained what had just happened. “The northern barbarians had their eyes on us because of Little White.”
“In other words, there’s someone in our refugee camp who can contact these northern barbarians outside?!” Lin Suisui blinked and immediately understood the hidden meaning in Lu Ze’s words.
If someone had not leaked the news, why would the northern barbarians suddenly target them or Little White, who had been by their side?!
“By the way, the white tiger is an auspicious sign to us. To the shamans of the northern barbarians, it’s also a similarly auspicious existence! Therefore, when the Wolf Guard hiding in the refugee camp saw Little White’s existence, he asked the northern barbarians who had been following outside the refugee camp to find an opportunity to snatch Little White!”
Lin Suisui analyzed the cause and effect of this matter with ease.
From the looks of it, that Wolf Guard was really greedy!
“I have to get Pei Qian to pay attention. Perhaps there will be another line of investigation.” Lu Ze slowly walked to the window and watched the situation on the street from the second floor.
As expected, just as Lu Ze walked to the window, he saw a pair of men in constable uniforms rushing towards the alley he had gone to previously.
“Let’s go back.”
Lu Ze turned around and smiled at Lin Suisui. “We’ve bought most of what we need. Let’s go back and rest. We still have to travel tomorrow.”
Lin Suisui didn’t ask further. She stood up and put Little White back into the basket. Then, Lu Ze carried Little White as the two of them left the restaurant and rushed back with a bunch of things.
They didn’t encounter any trouble along the way. Not long after they returned to the refugee camp, Pei Qian took the initiative to look for Lu Ze.
“You were the one who attacked those three people in the city today?!”
Pei Qian went straight to the point.
Of the three people who had died, two were northern barbarians and one was a thug from the casino in this town. Three days ago, these two northern barbarians arrived in this town and told the public that they were merchants selling leather goods.
As soon as they arrived, they entered the casino and lavished money for two consecutive days!
Last night, they stopped Song Amao, who was a guard in the casino. They asked him to help them and paid him ten taels of silver in advance. They agreed to pay Song Amao another hundred taels after the matter was settled.
But now, he lost his life because of it!
The three of them died very quickly. They had their throats slit and didn’t suffer any pain.
When Pei Qian received the news, he went over to take a look. Almost immediately, he thought of Lu Ze!
“What are you even asking? My wife and I went to the city to buy things and came back. What do the murders have to do with us?!”
Lu Ze placed the chicken soup pot on the bonfire and looked up at Pei Qian calmly.
“If you could get rid of those three, why did you leave one alive?!” Pei Qian stared at Lu Ze, who was playing dumb, with suspicion. The neat and quick killing method was too familiar!
Coupled with the confession of the northern barbarian they had caught, Pei Qian was even more certain that Lu Ze had killed those three people.
“Those people were just minions under orders! They were targeting the auspicious white tiger in your hands! I don’t have enough people to clean up your mess now! If you do it next time, do it more decisively!”
Pei Qian glared at Lu Ze and turned to instruct Qian He, who was guarding the door, “Take the chicken soup. Let’s go!”
