Chapter Seventy-Three: Two Lives
Listening to the words of the fat shopkeeper, Ye Feng thought to himself, it seems that all of this has to find this mysterious boss behind the scenes in order to really find out.
He looked at the fat shopkeeper with a panicked face, and asked, "You said that you will go to report the accounts to the fat shopkeeper every month, where do you see him?"
The fat shopkeeper hesitated, he had told enough secrets today.
What are the consequences of betraying the boss, he knows very well in his heart, which traitor will end well?
But if you are not a traitor, you will not necessarily end well.
Looking at the two young men in front of him, the fat shopkeeper remembered the boss's seemingly hasty order to leave the town quickly, and there was clearly a sense of danger approaching.
Could it be that it is these two people in front of him who make the boss feel dangerous?
Since these two young people can threaten the boss with great powers, and they are just a small person working for the boss, how can they resist?
So after hesitating for a moment, the fat shopkeeper still said honestly: "Every time in the same place, in the small building behind Chunhua Building, it should be the nest of one of the bosses." ”
Ye Feng nodded, he felt very satisfied with the cooperation of the fat shopkeeper.
He smiled at the fat boss and said, "Thank you for your cooperation, now that our questions are finished, you can go." ”
The fat boss looked at the two people in front of him in disbelief, did they really want to let themselves go?
It seemed to be true, Ye Feng's smile was very sincere, and there was no cunning at all.
Besides, if they want to kill themselves, they can do it, and there is no need to lie to deceive themselves.
At this moment, he only hated his father and mother for having two legs, he could run faster, and the farther he could run, and he would never be found by the boss or someone else who knew him.
Betraying the boss is no joke.
Seeing that the fat shopkeeper ran away, Zhang Fatzi asked Ye Feng, "Do you really let him go?" ”
Ye Feng shook his head and said: "There's no need, he just acts according to orders, and he is also a poor person who can't help himself, at the mercy of the boss behind the scenes, and besides, he just runs a medicine shop, and he hasn't done anything hurtful, so he can't be regarded as a bad person." ”
Saying this, he glared at the fat man: "How did your mind become so dark now? Thinking about using other people's lives as bait, when did you become like this?"
Zhang Fatzi snorted angrily, turned his head and ignored him.
The two turned around and walked in the direction of the town, and just after taking two steps, Ye Feng suddenly let out an "oops" and stopped.
Zhang Fatzi asked, "What's wrong?"
Ye Feng patted his head and said, "Damn, I forgot to ask the shopkeeper a question just now, so I let him go." ”
Zhang Fatzi snorted coldly, as if to say, the smartest person in the world like you can actually make mistakes, but on the surface he asked, "What's the problem?"
Ye Feng said: "The shopkeeper just now said that they would go to the boss to explain the accounts every month, and forgot to ask him what time of month it was, since that small building is not the only nest of the boss, we may not be able to find someone if we rush to it now." ”
Zhang Fatzi felt justified when he heard it, and immediately said: "This is easy, he just left, I chased him and asked him if the boss had any other nests." ”
Ye Feng nodded,
That's all there is to it.
But at this moment, a miserable scream came from a distance from the direction where the fat shopkeeper left just now, and it was extremely terrible.
Ye Feng's face changed, and he shouted: "It's not good!
Before the words fell, Zhang Fatzi's round fat body had bounced up like a leather ball, shooting away in the direction where the screams came from.
Ye Feng then ran wildly with all his strength to chase after him.
But by the time he arrived, it was too late.
Only the corpse of the fat shopkeeper with his eyes wide was left on the ground, and there was no one else.
Ye Feng leaned down to inspect his corpse, the fat shopkeeper's shoulders and legs were cut with sharp blades, breaking the tendons and veins of his hands and feet, and bleeding all over the ground.
And the real fatal one was that his throat was cut by a sharp blade and he died on the spot.
Every wound is unusually clear, the murderer must be a master, every knife is used very reasonably, the force is just right, not deep or shallow, and it is very precise.
The fat shopkeeper had a look of horror on his gray face, and he probably wouldn't have believed that the retribution for betrayal would come so quickly until he died.
Ye Feng stretched out his hand and closed his round eyes for the fat shopkeeper, sighed, originally wanted to let him go, who knew that in the end he would not be able to escape the fate of being wiped out.
Just as he was sighing, a figure beside him flashed and flew down, it was Zhang Fatzi who came back.
Ye Feng raised his head and asked, "Have you seen the murderer?"
Zhang Fatzi nodded and shook his head and said, "I only saw his back when he left, dressed in black, covering his face, looking like the person I saw in front of that small building that night." I wanted to catch up, but his light skills were very skillful, and he was by no means under me, and he was quickly thrown off and unable to catch up. ”
Ye Feng sighed: "That's it, since he dares to let this fat shopkeeper scream, he is not worried that he will lure us over because of this, he must have the certainty of getting out smoothly." ”
Zhang Fatzi turned to look at the corpse of the fat shopkeeper, and said strangely: "Since this murderer can cut his throat with a knife and make him unable to make a sound, why did he stab him so many times?"
Ye Feng shook his head and said: "He did it on purpose, he was enjoying the process of killing, he first cut the fat shopkeeper's tendons, then the hamstrings, let him bear the maximum pain and fear, and finally cut his throat and end his life." He's not just killing people, he's enjoying it even more. ”
Zhang Fatzi only felt creepy when he heard this, and couldn't help but scold hatefully: "This dead pervert!"
Ye Feng smiled bitterly and said, "It seems that this dead pervert may be the man in black you saw that night, that is, the mysterious boss behind the scenes." He actually killed people under our noses, and he killed us so calmly and calmly, without taking us in the slightest, that he would never look like an easy opponent to deal with. ”
Fat Zhang scratched his head and asked, "But why does he have to kill this fat shopkeeper at this time? But the fat shopkeeper has already told us almost everything, is this necessary?"
Ye Feng nodded and muttered, "Yes, if it's not to kill his mouth, then what is he for?" Is it to punish the fat shopkeeper's mouthy and tonguey and betray him?"
When it came to punishment, Ye Feng's face suddenly changed, and he blurted out: "It's not good, that Lang Zhong!"
As soon as he turned around, he ran wildly in the direction of the town, and Zhang Fatzi was stunned for a moment, and quickly chased after him.
The two of them hurried all the way to the end
Langzhong's medical hall, the medical hall is still open, but it is empty, and Langzhong is not inside.
"Perhaps, he went out to see someone else. Zhang Fatzi comforted, but even he didn't believe it.
After passing through the medical hall, the two came to the small courtyard where Lang Zhong lived.
Everything was the same as when they left, in good order, no bodies, no blood, not even the chaos after the fight, as if nothing had happened.
But Ye Feng's face suddenly became very ugly.
Because in the fragrance of medicinal herbs in this courtyard, he keenly smelled a trace of blood!
stepped forward quickly, pushed open the door, and Ye Feng saw Lang Zhong.
He lay down on the floor of the house, with his unfinished clothes and baggage still on the table, and it was obvious that Lang Zhong was about to leave the town quickly.
It's a pity that he was a step late.
At this moment, he has become a cold corpse, his hands and feet have also been cut, his throat has been cut, and the house is full of blood.
Ye Feng shook his head sadly, it's too late again!
Unexpectedly, Lang Zhong, who was still calling Miss Cheng "Senior Sister" in the morning and talking and laughing with them, is now dead.
Judging from the wounds, the method of killing him and the method of killing the fat shopkeeper should be the same murderer.
It's that mysterious boss again, who killed two people in a row in a short period of time, what a ruthless, cold-blooded and ruthless person!
But why did he kill Lang Zhong?
Was it really because he revealed the clues about the blood-red cantharids and the fat shopkeeper of the pharmacy to himself?
It seemed that he was another person who had been implicated to death by himself, and Ye Feng suddenly felt extremely sad in his heart.
He wished he could find the mysterious boss at once and beat him up to vent his anger, but who was he, and where should he go to find him?
Ye Feng only felt that his stomach was full of question marks, but he couldn't find an answer.
Just when Ye Feng and Zhang Fatzi were standing at the door of the house in a daze, looking at the corpses and blood on the ground, the courtyard door was suddenly pushed open with a "squeak".
Then a man strode in.
When Ye Feng and the others looked back at the people, they were all stunned and stunned.
The man looked up and saw Ye Feng and Zhang Fatzi, and couldn't help but be stunned, and blurted out, "You guys, why are you here?"
Ye Feng and Zhang Fatzi were stunned because Fatman Zhang recognized this person.
Before that, when they came to the town for the first time in a carriage with a seriously injured viper, and were blocked at the intersection by the pink sedan chair of Chunhualou, Zhang Fatzi had a few words with a scholar next to the carriage.
And the person in front of him is the same Xiangshi!
Ye Feng, who was in the carriage at the time, felt a little familiar when he heard the voice of this Xiangshi, but he couldn't remember where he heard it for a while.
Now I see the person in front of me, with a lewd face, a mustache, wearing a half-worn robe, and carrying a cloth trick on his shoulder, with three big characters written on it, "Liu Banxian"!
Ye Feng immediately remembered that when he was a guest in Lingbao City, when he was a guest in the mansion of the gentleman sword Feng Mingli, he once met a person who looked at the face on the street, this person intentionally or unintentionally revealed many secrets to him, which made him figure out a lot of tricks, and finally was able to solve the mystery in the Feng mansion in one fell swoop, and revealed the true face of the gentleman's sword Feng Mingli.
And this person who looks at the face is the one in front of him, Liu Banxian!
