Chapter 76: Suspicious Case

Translator: virtual group, EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: virtual group, EndlessFantasy Translation

The few imperial guards were shocked—one of them even ran straight into Xie Pinggang’s chest and was sent flying!

When they snapped back to their senses, they immediately ran away!

It was not a good timing for them today!

Xie Pinggang had a bad reputation for being unreasonable!

Since they had bumped into him, not only would he not get Half-Immortal Xie to see them, but he might even make this an even bigger deal than it was. By then, everyone would be watching His Highness!

The few imperial guards thought they would speak to Xie Qiao quickly. However, it did not seem like it would happen now.

They ran swiftly and disappeared in the blink of an eye.

Xie Pinggang was speechless and stood there, feeling dumbfounded.

‘Who were those people? What the hell!?’

"Fortunately, it wasn’t Mr. Zhou who came here. Our faces are new, so that big gorilla shouldn’t have recognized us." The imperial guards who ran away felt very lucky.

One of them suddenly said, "Why don’t we… work with the maids and get them to pass the letter?"

"That’s a great idea! We were thinking of looking for her, so we forgot to find a more convenient way! However, I’m worried that Half-Immortal Xie might ignore us after reading the letter. That dimwit Qin Zhi will offend her by then!"

"Let’s try it. Didn’t Young Master say to give more silver…"

Silver was indeed great. They should not be stingy now.

Qin Zhi still had his parents and wife to look after. What would happen to the family if something was to really happen to him?

The few of them mumbled. They dared not delay the matter for even a day.

Approximately an hour later, two of them turned around and arrived close to the Xie Residence’s side door. They secretly waited for the people inside to come out. Meanwhile, the others returned to gather silver.

Xie Pinggang was confused. However, he did not forget that he had to dig the well.

As soon as he returned, he headed to Xie Qiao’s

Xie Pinggang asked in concern, "Did you see a few shady fellows when you came in?"

"No." Xie Qiao shook her head.

"Bring a few people with you when you go out. I noticed those people looked ferocious. I wonder where those hooligans came from to be behaving atrociously in the alley where officials live." Xie Pinggang was calm.

After all, he had been a bandit before. He was much scarier than those hooligans in the past.

Xie Qiao nodded.

Her life was important. Since Xie Pinggang was willing to get more people to protect her, she was naturally happy about that.

She said when she recalled the ghoul yesterday, "Eldest Brother, the body that you found yesterday… What kind of case was that?"

"The one yesterday?" Xie Pinggang thought about it. He was rather surprised to notice that Xie Qiao was interested in such a thing.

It was rare that the siblings had something to talk about, so Xie Pinggang was nice enough to chat with her. "The case seems rather normal on the surface. The man was harmed."

"On the surface?" asked Xie Qiao.

"That man was called Mei Ziwu. He was a gangster. He had about 20 subordinates with him, and they were in the loan business. Most people who are in this business are filthy, so he was killed. Since he had offended many, it makes sense that he’s killed."

Xie Pinggang added, "The strange thing is the way he died,"

Xie Qiao lifted her head and looked at him with interest.

"How did he die?" asked Xie Qiao.

"Aren’t you scared?" Xie Pinggang thought he had underestimated his sister from the same mother.

Xie Qiao was helpless. She was scared in the beginning, but it was useless that she was since she had witnessed many strange things. She could only learn to accept.

"Just tell me, Eldest Brother. I might be able to solve the case for you," Xie Qiao said while smiling.

Xie Pinggang did not take what she said seriously.

If it was that easy to solve a case, then the case would not have been categorized as a suspicious case.
