I'm the villain in the book

Page 758

And just as he walked out of the room, a scholar in ordinary clothes just opened the door of the next door.

Um?Where's Gu Pan'er?

Turning his head to glance at the scholar, his eyes passed through the door again, and glanced at the dark room.

Wei Changtian immediately realized that Gu Pan'er was no longer living here, so he couldn't help being slightly taken aback.

Recalling how many people had entered Gu Pan'er's room before leaving, so...

Was it picked up?

That's not right, didn't she say she wanted to redeem herself?

Smiling at the scholar, Wei Changtian quickly looked away and didn't continue to think about it.

Gu Pan'er's "leaving without saying goodbye" is not a big deal, and it has nothing to do with him. Of course, he will not waste energy on such issues.

But having said that, when Wei Changtian walked down the stairs to the front hall of the inn, he still asked a waiter casually.

"Where's Miss Gu who lives in the room next to me?"

"Ah, Mr. Wei."

The waiter raised his head and replied in a low voice, "Don't you know? Her room was burglarized."

"Being thief?"

Wei Changtian was taken aback: "When did it happen?"

"I don't know about this villain, but according to what Miss Gu said, today she is only out of the room when she is eating at noon."

The waiter in the shop sighed: "Oh, I heard from the shopkeeper that I lost 5000 taels. It was originally the money that Miss Gu planned to use to redeem herself."

"I don't know if the government will take care of this matter."

"..."

The waiter in the shop felt a little sympathetic to Gu Pan'er, muttering endlessly.

On the other side, Wei Changtian frowned, and then asked:

"Then where has she gone now? Did she report to the police?"

"It was picked up by the old bustard of the former brothel."

The shop waiter looked around, and replied mysteriously: "Mr. Wei, you and Ms. Gu are good friends, you should know that she was picking up customers at Manxianglou before."

"Aren't you dissatisfied that Xianglou is gone? Their big shopkeeper sold all the girls in the building to another brothel."

"If the money hadn't been stolen, Miss Gu might still be able to take this opportunity to give herself back her freedom."

"But now?"

"I'm not stupid, how dare I leave her alone, of course I pick her up right away"

I don't know where the waiter from the shop found out so many "insider stories", in short, he has a nose and an eye.

And Wei Changtian roughly understood what happened just now after listening.

Good guy, what a coincidence.

To complain in his heart, Wei Changtian didn't doubt the authenticity of the whole thing, but he didn't say much, just nodded with a calm expression.

"okay, I get it."

"Oh, by the way, do you know which brothel Miss Gu went to?"

"This villain doesn't know."

"It's okay."

"..."

He gave the waiter some money as a reward, and walked out of the inn.

Wei Changtian glanced back at a certain wooden window on the second floor, and immediately disappeared into the moonlight.

Almost two quarters of an hour later, Wei Changtian came to the compound again.

The four members of Jiuzhen Sect and Zhang San had been waiting for a long time, so they immediately took him to the secret passage where Li Zimu interrogated the two assassins.

Looking at the closed door of the secret room, Wei Changtian squatted beside the two corpses, and casually ordered:

"Let him out, she didn't kill him."

".Yes, my lord."

Looking at each other, the four members of the Nine True Sect didn't know why Wei Changtian came to this conclusion so easily, but they obeyed the order and immediately released him.

At the same time, Wei Changtian also carefully looked at the two corpses at his feet.

Probably in order to "protect the clues" as much as possible, the four members of the Jiuzhen Sect did not do anything more than drag the corpse out of the secret room, so the two corpses still retained the expression of incomparable fear before they died.

However, Wei Changtian's gaze didn't stay on their faces for too long, he just took a look, and then his eyes fell on the two shallow strangle marks on their necks.

"What is the situation, tell me exactly what it is."

Without looking back, Wei Changtian just squatted on the ground and asked a question suddenly.

Li Zimu, who had already come out of the secret room and just walked behind him, immediately replied:

"My lord, the servant didn't feel anything abnormal at that time."

"..."

Soon, Li Zimu explained all the events at that time in detail.

Wei Changtian didn't speak immediately, and after thinking for a while, he pointed to the two strangle marks and asked again:

"You mean that these two traces appeared out of thin air at that time?"

"Yes, it's like there is really an invisible rope."

Li Zimu replied softly: "And the death of the two of them is indeed like being strangled to death."

"San Zhang strangled to death."

Wei Changtian turned his head and asked Zhang San: "How deep do you think the marks will be if you want to strangle a second-rank expert to death?"

"this."

Zhang San didn't expect that Wei Changtian would suddenly ask about himself, so he couldn't help being slightly taken aback.

But he still quickly gave the answer with his "rich" experience.

"My lord, such a shallow lesion can't be said to be a second-rank master, even ordinary people can't kill it."

"Is it?"

Wei Changtian squinted his eyes.

"This time it's interesting"

Chapter 881

Obviously, the two assassins were by no means strangled to death.

This conclusion can be drawn mainly for two reasons.

The first is what Zhang San said, the two strangle marks are too shallow, far from being able to strangle people.

Even though these two assassins were dying at the time, they were still second-rank masters, how could they be worse than ordinary people?

The second reason is due to the characteristics of the lucky beast.

After all, if it was really strangled to death, it undoubtedly means that the faceless beast can cause "substantial" harm to people when it is in an "empty state".

Then this is "repeated" with Zhulong's supernatural power.

Thirteen sons of heaven, thirteen divine beasts of luck, and thirteen supernatural powers of heaven. Wei Changtian doesn't think there will be any repetition or extreme similarity among them.

Therefore, there is a high probability that the faceless beast cannot directly kill people like Candle Dragon.

And since this is the case, where did these two strangle marks come from?

Regarding this, Wei Changtian was not sure.

But he has a bold guess.

In his previous life, Wei Changtian had accidentally watched a video of a scientific experiment in which "the brain deceives the body".

Perhaps in order to verify the extent to which the human brain can control the body, a scientific team conducted an experiment.

They found a few volunteers, boiled a pot of boiling water in front of the volunteers, and then dripped the boiling water on the backs of the volunteers' hands.

But this is actually only what the volunteers saw. In fact, the experimental team had already quietly replaced the boiling water with ordinary cold water.

In other words, what actually dripped on the hands of the volunteers was not boiling water, but cold water.

In this way, volunteers should not feel any discomfort when they are reasonable.

But amazingly, all the volunteers had all the reactions they should have after being burned, and many of them even had blisters on the back of their hands.

Blisters from being scalded by cold water. It sounds incredible.

But that's the way it is.

The human brain deceives the body, which in turn causes the body to behave in ways it shouldn't.

So, are these two strangle marks that should not have appeared in this way also produced?

If this is the case, then the special supernatural powers of this son of heaven whose name is not yet known should be.

hallucinations.

After almost a stick of incense, Wei Changtian walked out of the underground tunnel.

Looking at Li Zimu, who was a little self-blaming beside him, he casually said in relief:

"Don't think too much, you are not to blame for what happened tonight."

"On the contrary, if it wasn't for you, I wouldn't be able to find out who that mysterious person is."

"Young master found him?"

Suddenly his eyes widened, and Li Zimu became energetic in an instant: "Who is it?"

"Remember the time when our carriage almost hit an old beggar?"

Wei Changtian didn't hide it, and replied truthfully: "It's him."

"Is it."

With an extremely surprised expression, Li Zimu probably never imagined that he had met this person a long time ago.

After being stunned for a while, she hurriedly caught up with Wei Changtian and asked in a low voice:

"Young master, have you fought against this person before?"

"Ah."

Wei Changtian nodded: "Very strong, but not my opponent."

"..."

strong but not my match

Opening his mouth slightly, Li Zimu didn't know for a while whether Wei Changtian was being modest or boastful, in short, he was unintentionally pretending to be a coward.

And her previous worries were indeed reduced a lot because of this.

Although Wei Changtian often said something that sounded extremely arrogant, in the end the facts often proved that he was not bragging.

So, since the young master said it, this person should really be no match for the young master, right?

Looking quietly at Wei Changtian's profile, Li Zimu stopped talking.

The two walked all the way to the gate of the mansion, but before they could go out, Zhang San suddenly walked over in a hurry from outside the gate.

"My lord, Miss Xu just sent a message!"

"Huh? Xu Suisui?"

Wei Changtian paused: "What did she say?"

"Miss Xu said."
