The next morning, Zhang Wei took Qian Yuanyuan to change equipment. In the equipment store, while waiting for Qian Yuanyuan to try on clothes, Zhang Wei heard the adventurers in the store discussing last night's murder.

A male adventurer looked as if he was saying something secret, but his eyes were darting around, and he was saying in a voice that everyone around could hear: "I heard that the dead person was the Baron's accountant." It was as if the adventurer was afraid that others might not hear him and would not turn their attention to him.

"I heard that the account book was lost." Another adventurer was obviously interested in this fresh gossip, and she also began to share the news she heard.

"More than that," the male adventurer paused mysteriously, then said, "It's the black market account book. The information of all traders is on it. If it were to be exposed, who knows how many revenge murders would be triggered."

"Oh my God!" Another adventurer couldn't help but exclaimed. Suddenly, as if she thought of something, she quickly found a reason and left.

Some of the other adventurers who heard the conversation between the two adventurers left with heavy hearts after listening to it.

The owner came to Zhang Wei and asked how long he would continue the trial as he wanted to close the store early.

Zhang Wei looked at the shop owner who looked worried, and asked, "What are you doing? How dare you kill people and rob goods at night?"

Zhang Wei asked this because he could see that the store owner was also worried about the black market account books leaking out.

"That's not the case, but we have to deal with the sources of some cheap goods." The shop owner smiled awkwardly. Doing business in the barony inevitably meant selling stolen goods on the black market, and he was also worried about getting into trouble because of selling stolen goods.

"Okay, you do your thing, we'll leave after we change." Zhang Wei said, taking out five silver coins as a reward for his hard work.

The shop owner took the five hundred dinars and said with a smile, "I'll close the shop first. I'll do the accounts inside. Just call me when you're done."

After leaving the equipment store and on the way back to the hotel, Qian Yuanyuan, who noticed something was wrong, asked Zhang Wei what happened. Zhang Wei told Qian Yuanyuan that there were rumors that the man killed last night was the Baron's accountant, and the black market account book was also lost last night, so many people who had done business in the black market were a little worried that they would be affected.

"If you're afraid, then why do you still want to do business on the black market?" Qian Yuanyuan was a little puzzled.

Zhang Wei told Qian Yuanyuan about the rules of the black market in his previous life, but he was not sure whether the rules of this world had changed. After all, bronze-level adventurers in his previous life could not enter the dungeon alone, but they could in this life.

After hearing this, Qian Yuanyuan called the baron a black-hearted person.

The two returned to the hotel. When they passed the front desk, the lady at the front desk called Zhang Wei and said that someone had left a note for him.

Zhang Wei smiled and thanked him. After taking the note, he opened it and saw a few words written on it: "Don't be nosy."

After Zhang Wei showed the note to Qian Yuanyuan, he burned it.

"Is this a warning from him (the murderer)?" Qian Yuanyuan asked.

"Well, you are so arrogant, I have to hire a bodyguard for you." Zhang Wei didn't like being threatened, especially by such an arrogant person. If he killed the baron's accountant, it would at most hit the baron in the face. However, if he also took away the black market account book, it would be a threat to the adventurers of the entire baron's territory, which was already an unforgivable act.

Of course, this incident also had its benefits. Zhang Wei and other adventurers also discovered that the Baron secretly recorded some things that shouldn't be recorded, such as who sold whose equipment. The Baron should be very clear that such records can easily lead to vendettas and revenge, but he still recorded them, clearly wanting to use them as a handle on the adventurers!

"Do you want to find him (the murderer)?" Qian Yuanyuan was a little worried about Zhang Wei's safety.

"Don't worry, I'm fine. You have to take care to protect yourself. You can't trust all of the bodyguards you hire, okay?" Zhang Wei asked Qian Yuanyuan to stay alert at all times.

Qian Yuanyuan nodded obediently, indicating that she would listen to Zhang Wei.

Zhang Wei found three silver-level female adventurers in the Adventurer's Guild who were not affiliated with each other and not very familiar with each other to serve as bodyguards for Qian Yuanyuan. They provided food and accommodation, and the daily salary was 2,000 dinars each.

Zhang Wei also booked three other suites on the same floor, and then randomly disrupted the accommodation of Qian Yuanyuan and the bodyguards. Before leaving, he asked Qian Yuanyuan to allocate the houses by drawing lots every day before he came back. Even if some suites were vacant, she should not feel bad, because this was the only way to protect Qian Yuanyuan's safety to the greatest extent.

The reason why Zhang Wei did this was because he had a feeling that the other party might attack Qian Yuanyuan in order to deal with him. This feeling arose when he looked into the eyes of the murderer that night. This feeling made Zhang Wei very unhappy, and this was also the reason that prompted him to ignore the other party's warning and take action first.

After Zhang Wei settled Qian Yuanyuan, he came to the Adventurer's Guild again and found that the stingy Baron Bourne had rarely issued a bounty for the murderer in the guild.

Many adventurers felt that this matter was related to their own interests, so they signed up. They hoped to obtain more intelligence by accepting the mission, and then get an additional bounty from the baron after killing those who threatened them.

Zhang Wei did not sign up, he came to observe people. He believed that the murderer must have been the one who released the contents of the black market account book, and the purpose of doing so was still unknown. The murderer would definitely arrange people to collect relevant intelligence after the Baron issued the bounty order, so as to provide intelligence support for their subsequent actions.

Just as Zhang Wei expected, when night fell, he locked onto his target. The man had an ordinary face and would "disappear" if lost in a crowd. However, Zhang Wei keenly discovered that the man was wearing a human skin mask, so Zhang Wei nicknamed this man "Passerby A".

At two o'clock in the morning, Passerby A walked outside while everyone in the hall was either drowsy or drunk and bragging.

Zhang Wei stood up and followed him out. When he passed by a private room, he saw a pair of hungry wild mandarin ducks releasing their desires in ecstasy. He slapped the butt of the female adventurer who was on top.

The female adventurer turned around and saw Zhang Wei walking with his back to her and waving at her. The female adventurer gave Zhang Wei an international gesture until she noticed something on her butt. She touched it and found it was a coin. It felt very much like a gold coin. She took it in front of her and found that it was indeed a gold coin. She decisively got off the male adventurer.

"Hey! What should I do???" When the male adventurer saw that the female adventurer had left at this time, he raised his head and shouted at her.

The female adventurer casually threw the panties on the table into the male adventurer's face and said, "Deal with it yourself. You have no money to choose. I bought all the condoms!"

The female adventurer said, simply pulled up her skirt, and then took the opportunity to chase after him.
