Chapter 945: The Silenced Man
With demigod-level soul power, Lin Qi wanted to track a person, it was as easy as breathing.
The red-faced man walked briskly ahead in a panic, and even bumped into early adopters on the road several times. The people who need to get up early in the morning will naturally not be polite gentlemen, and those who were hit scolded and wanted to reason with the big man, but the red-faced man glared at them arrogantly, pulled out the dagger on his waist and scared him a little, so that those people obediently dodged aside.
After running all the way for a long time, when it was dawn, the red-faced man panted and came to a street full of nouveau riche atmosphere on the southeast side of Dongcheng District.
'Golden Skylark Street'!
Lin Qi stood at the entrance of the street, his spiritual power followed the big man, his eyes swept over the street name on the street sign at the entrance, and he couldn't help grinning. This street should have been newly built in the past few years, and when Lin Qi was in Berelli in the past, it was just an ordinary residential area.
Today, it has become a wide, neat avenue, with pale yellow stone slabs paved on the street, shining like gold in the sun. At the entrance of the street there was a small fountain, and a circle of rare green tulips imported from the Harran Empire surrounded a lark made of pure gold, and the lark about the size of a human head shone with a faint magical light, which made it impossible for some thieves to attack it.
There are two rows of ornamental plants planted on the street, but they are supposed to have been planted for a short time, and these ornamental plants look like saplings. Without decades of growth, these ornamental plants are nothing to look at.
Which street in Berelli where the big nobles and big merchants lived was not lush and shady?
The varieties of trees planted on Golden Lark Street are very valuable, proving that the residents of this street are not short of money. But the trees are just so thin and immature, which proves that these tenants who are not short of money have lived here for less than a few years, except for the nouveau riche. There are no other words to describe the people here.
Lin Qi tightened the tattered sailor suit on his body, and walked into Golden Skylark Street more than two hundred meters away from the red-faced man. As soon as he walked past the first house on the street, several fierce hounds rushed to the door, baring their white teeth and barking at Lin Qiyi.
A few of the usually gorgeous porters rushed out proudly, pointing at Lin Qi, and some even pulled out a metal stick wrapped in animal skins, and waved a long stick at Lin Qi threateningly, there was a posture that Lin Qi dared to break Lin Qi's legs with one step close to their door.
Along the way, Lin Qi suffered from the roar of a fierce dog and the white eyes of the porter, and the atmosphere of this street was given. It's not that good. Shaking his head, Lin Qi saw the red-faced man walk into a mansion at the end of the street. He walked slowly towards the house.
Casting a small soul magic 'Soul Eye', Lin Qi's vision suddenly enveloped the mansion.
The four-acre house is lined with trees, with a green meadow in the middle, and several half-naked women standing in the middle of the lawn, and several dolphin statues jumping up. Columns of water from their mouths hit the statues right on.
A tall man, with a big black skin and a typical market thug face, stood on the front steps of the house. He was holding a wine bottle and pouring it in small sips. Lin Qi quickly found out the name of the big man from memory, Zaruba, the former minor leader of the Iron Fist Brotherhood, who had testified against Lin Qi as one of the traitors at the trial.
Now he is a knight of Zaruba, a knight of the second class, and he has such a luxurious mansion on Golden Skylark Street. Lin Qi roughly judged. Without 300,000 gold coins, it is impossible to buy such a house here.
300,000 gold coins may be the price of a bottle of wine for the real rich and wealthy people in Vias, but for Zaruba, who was still carrying axes and people on the streets a few years ago. That's a lot of money.
"Is this the price for betraying me?" Lin Qi looked at the one in the courtyard of the mansion with cold eyes.
When the red-faced man entered the courtyard, he ran wildly in front of Zaruba. He panted and gave Zaruba a chest salute, and then said hurriedly: "Big brother, you asked me to inquire about the news...... Abrin, big brother Ablin, he, he's been killed!"
With a bang, the bottle in Zaruba's hand fell to the ground and shattered, and he looked at the red-faced man in panic and asked, "Ablin is dead? You saw it with your own eyes? Ah? There are more than a dozen good men around him, who can kill him? Who dares to kill a nobleman in Berelli?"
The red-faced man's face was also ugly, and he said in horror: "Dead, all dead, and listening to those bronze hats, everyone was killed by a single blow, and their necks were choked off with one blow." There was no resistance at all, and no one had time to do anything, so they were strangled to death like a chicken. ”
Zaruba's body shook and subconsciously took a few steps backwards.
He is about the same strength as Ablin, and the guards around him, that is, the private soldiers of the second-level knights, are also about the same in combat power as Ablin. The person who killed Ablin could easily kill him, so it would not be difficult to kill Zaruba.
"Why should I get involved in all this?" Zaruba's face turned pale and blue, and he suddenly became angry with the man who had told him to speak to Abrin. At that time, Zaruba felt that this matter was unreliable, but in order not to offend people, he could only do this. As a result, Abulin, who was instigated by him to go to Wood for trouble, was actually killed.
With a low breath, Zaruba said in a deep voice: "Let all the brothers pick up the guys, take the servants and maids in the house, and we will go to the country manor to hide for a while." ”
Smiling proudly, Zaruba said with pity: "My manor is a small fortress, and I still have fifty heavily armed soldiers in my hands, plus more than three hundred brothers who dare to fight hard, if you want to kill me, you have to use two thousand regular troops to attack! Hmph, who can touch a hair of me?"
Lin Qi crooked his mouth, and Zaruba was too confident. With his hundreds of native chickens and dogs, he doesn't need to use a large army to attack at all, he can send two heavenly warriors at will, and his manor can be washed in blood. If it was a gifted person like Aunt Lily, even the strength of his status would ruin his manor.
The only thing that surprised Lin Qi was that Zaruba was obviously not the culprit who calculated Abrin, the person standing behind Zaruba, why didn't he move at all? Ablin is dead, this is the most obvious signal, if the other party wants to test something, then obviously this has a clear result.
Just when Lin Qi was surprised, a young man dressed in a manservant costume walked out quickly from behind Zaruba, he approached Zaruba's side, bowed and whispered, "Master!"
Zaruba turned around unhappily and asked, "What's the matter?"
The young man smiled slightly, he raised his right hand, and a silver light shot out from his sleeve, and a crossbow bolt made of pure steel hit Zaruba's eyebrows hard. Three barbs propelled by powerful springs burst out from the bolt, and Zaruba's head exploded like a rotten watermelon.
The three barbs were inscribed with the Soul Scattering Charm, and Zaruba's soul let out a terrible howl, shattered by the Soul Scattering Charm.
Lin Qi was stunned, he didn't expect that the person behind Zaruba would move so fast, and he would be so ruthless and decisive. It was only a few hours from Lin Qi rescuing Wood and killing Ablin to the incident, and the other party had already sent killers to kill Zaruba.
And Lin Qi was sure that the young man who killed Zaruba was definitely a killer found from outside, even if Lin Qi searched the soul of that young man, he couldn't find the slightest bit of information related to the person behind the scenes. If it weren't for finding such a killer and arranging this killing, Zaruba might have died even faster.
Lin Qi killed Ablin, which was a signal he gave to the other party.
And the other party's decision to kill Zaruba is undoubtedly the most direct response to Lin Qi.
Even if they haven't met yet, they have expressed their position with their actions.
The red-faced man watched as Zaruba was shot with an arrow, his body trembled, and after letting out an angry roar, he suddenly turned and fled. He used to be a good man in the market, and when he followed Zaruba and the people, even if he was besieged by several enemies with knives and guns, he was not afraid of the hero.
But after so many years of following Zaruba's pampering, the red-faced man has lost the courage to play with his life.
Zaruba was killed, and the red-faced man turned around and fled, and as he walked, he shouted in panic: "I don't know anything, this matter has nothing to do with me! I'm just an errand runner, you, you, don't kill me!"
The young man in the servant costume smiled slightly, he threw his body forward, and easily caught up with the red-faced man, he twisted his hands, and a thin steel wire was put on the neck of the red-faced man, just a slight pull, the red-faced man's head flew into the air, but not a drop of blood was shed from the wound.
The young man put on a large hat and quickly disappeared into the bushes beside him, and by the time he emerged from the courtyard next door, he had already changed into another set of gray gardener's clothes. Then he escaped over the wall, and by the time he came out of the back alley of Golden Lark Street, he was already wearing a sailor's suit and a torn felt hat full of holes, as if he were already a down-and-out sailor.
But as soon as he jumped off a low wall, Lin Qi stopped in front of him with a big smile.
"Hey, brother, where did you just get rich?"
"Look at the way you look blushing, you've earned at least a dozen of them, right?"
"As the jargon goes, half of the meeting will be divided, let me see your money bag, at least give me half of it!"
The young killer was stunned, then he pulled out a dagger and stabbed it in Lin Qi's chest. (To be continued.) If you like this work, you are welcome to come to the www.biquge.info of Qidian to vote for recommendation, monthly pass, your support is my biggest motivation. )
