Chapter 409: Murder and Arson Again
Chapter 409: Murder and Arson Again
At this time, the moon was covered by clouds again, and it was pitch black everywhere.
This also made it easier for her to move.
She shuttled through the dark streets and alleys, occasionally leaping over the rooftops. After a while, she arrived near the Guo family again, because Wei Xiaohu had said before that the stalker had been transferred back to the vicinity of the Guo family.
At this time, the lights in the Guo family's house were on, and even through the high walls, one could vaguely hear the "boiling" sound inside.
It seems that after she left, the remaining soul caused quite a stir.
She glanced at him from a distance, ignored him, and turned to walk towards where the stalkers were.
There are five people in total who are following us this time. Their skills are better than the previous group, but they are only better. After all, they are just following us, not assassinating us.
Some of Wei Xiaohu's best guards stayed at the Wei family to guard them, while others were sent out to escort the caravan.
But in the final analysis, Wei Xiaohu is just a businessman. He can support his subordinates, but he doesn't have the ability to train them. As for recruiting talented people from the martial arts world, he won't feel at ease. So, through the previous fights and the information Wei Xiaohu told her, she has a rough idea of what the abilities of his subordinates are.
Si He approached those people from the side. At this time, because something happened in the Guo family and there was a lot of noise, those who were watching nearby naturally noticed it and walked to the window. Some even climbed onto the roof to look out, trying to find out the situation of the Guo family.
Si He quietly pulled out the dagger, picked up a few small stones from the ground, then jumped up and lightly flew onto the roof. The man turned his head in surprise, but she held the dagger and quickly cut his neck, killing him instantly.
Then she reached out and pulled the body onto the roof to prevent it from rolling off.
Then, she jumped down from above. When she landed in front of the window, she kicked the man into the house and at the same time she jumped into the house, all in one smooth move.
After entering the house, she quickly swung her hand and threw the stone in her hand, extinguishing the two candles in the room. In an instant, the room fell into darkness.
The four men in the room were suddenly a little panicked. They didn't expect someone to attack them suddenly, and it was a woman!
But they soon learned who she was, even though she had her face covered with a cloth.
However, they had just drawn their swords and had no time to light the lamps again when she came at them one by one like a killer!
In the darkness, she was still agile, easily avoiding the broadswords or long swords in their hands, and then used a dagger to reap their lives. Soon, they fell one after another, and blood was all over the ground.
Seeing that they were all dead, Si He wiped the dagger clean and put it away. Then she took out a tinder and set fire to all the curtains and flammable items in the house one by one. Finally, she took off the two pieces of cloth that wrapped her feet and threw them into the fire to burn them together. Then she jumped out of the side window and disappeared into the dark alley.
Not long after she left, the house was engulfed in flames. The dazzling flames attracted the patrolling officers nearby, who had to rush to put out the fire.
For a moment, the surrounding residents were alarmed, and there was panic and noise everywhere.
……
Si He had quietly returned to her residence. However, when she climbed over the wall and entered the yard, she keenly heard some movement coming from the side house, but it soon returned to silence without a sound.
She glanced at him indifferently and walked back to her room calmly.
After she closed the door, the two maids in the side room quietly walked to the window and looked towards the main house. After a while, they returned to the house to rest.
A night passed and Si He slept until noon. It was quiet here, but it was bustling outside.
First, there was the fire last night, which killed five people. According to the investigation, it was a homicide, not a fire that killed them for no reason. The news spread throughout the streets and alleys early in the morning and became a topic of conversation among people after dinner.
In addition, someone from the neighboring Guo family also died. Because of the loud noise, government officials came to investigate. Even though the Guo family intended to suppress the news, a lot of news still leaked out, and for a while, everyone had different opinions on the matter.
There was also the Wei family. In the morning, servants discovered that the head of the Wei family and his concubine were both dead in the house. The scene was weird and everyone in the Wei family was shocked. Because the cause of death was strange, they also reported it to the authorities.
For a time, the government officials were very busy, running around.
Three incidents happened in one night, all of which resulted in deaths. No matter how hard they tried to suppress the incidents, they still spread like wildfire.
Si He stayed quietly in the house, not going out of the front door or the back door, waiting for news with peace of mind.
The two maids who brought her meals looked at her in a way that was obviously different from yesterday. Perhaps when they went out to buy food, they heard what happened last night and became suspicious of her.
Although the two men's gazes were very subtle and concealed well, Si He still noticed it, but pretended not to know. She ate when she was supposed to, drank when she was supposed to, and rested when she was supposed to, and did not step out of the room.
Of course, this is mainly because the sun is very hot and sunny today.
She stayed there quietly and honestly for three days, and on the fourth day, she finally received news.
The reply letter was delivered personally by the owner of the cloth shop, and there was only one word on it: Yes.
There is no name or other information left, but the meaning is clear, it should have been written by Yue Fuli himself.
Si He looked at the reply letter and a smile appeared on her lips. She was obviously happy. Although there was only one word, she read it for a long time.
The shopkeeper came with Yue Fuqi, and he was in front of her when she was opening and reading the letter.
He could tell that she really liked his brother because her pure expression didn't seem fake.
Although I don't know the content of her previous letter or her reply now, it is not difficult to guess the content of the letter based on her previous conversation. It seems that she has achieved her wish.
That's why he became even more curious about why Yue Fuli agreed to marry her.
In the past few days, he has also been investigating her background, especially when she went out in the middle of the night a few days ago. As a result, something happened to the Guo family the next day. It is hard not to guess that she was involved in the Guo family's affairs.
Moreover, from the information he had investigated, she and Yue Fuli had not known each other for long, and they had not even met a few times, but this girl seemed to have set her eyes on Yue Fuli, and Yue Fuli also gave an absurd response.
This matter is weird no matter how you look at it.
"Thank you." She put away the letter and thanked him.
Yue Fuqi smiled and said truthfully: "I didn't do anything, you don't have to thank me."
Talking to smart people is sometimes simple. She didn't say anything, but he knew everything.
She also smiled and said, "Thank you for taking me in. I will go back to the Guo family today and won't bother you anymore."
Today is a cloudy day, which is a good day. She has been out for many days, so it is time to go back to the Guo family.
Yue Fuqi said: "It's not a big deal."
